@tek This all looks glorious and sounds slightly terrifying at the same time :D

* note: there's some fuzz to this. Several Star Wars movies fail out in spite of no "cars" e.g. racing pods / speeder bikes

@tek Maybe he's thinking Reuter's has taken over the internet backbone?

@tek we were considering itanium boxes at WMS (née Williams, of pinball and robotron fame) in 2004. Ends up we could have bought 4 beefy DL580s for the cost AND have our enterprise stuff running native. The whole thing felt slightly more botched than the DEC Alpha rollout. At least that processor still lives on in a way...

@socketwench I can't shake feeling that 3d printers are buck converters. They convert bucks into 3d printing gear and supplies.

Poor Kansas boy who lives in the flatland spends weekend in hilly wooded area where *median* house prices are $950,000.I don't resent the people (without knowing more of anyone's story) but it is upsetting to see the reality filters that make people unable to detect their own privilege. One meal at a restaurant - not even a fancy one - would empty out over half of my bank accounts.And I realize that even *having* a checking account with 60 dollars in it is a privilege.

I'm doing my best to not complain. I know how tiring that is to listen to. We all know people who, no matter how well they are doing, find something about which to complain. I'd say if anything I want to be more mindful of my reality filters. Without the healthcare I had a few years ago, I'd be very dead regardless of how well said care was administered and priced. I also realize the guy next to me at the hospital left out a different door than me because of bad insurance.

So I've tried the solution of waiting to see someone show who they are before really approaching or withdrawing. It seems a good compromise. Advice I've received sums up as you should avoid judging someone because you don't know if you'd do any better if you'd had their life. If you could have don't better, hating someone who is weaker is kind of a dick move. I have a wrinkle though: intentional dickheadedry and selfishness. I'm guilty of both so... Still try nice

So yeah, its been a weekend amongst people who range from wonderful to horrid privileged narcissists. Its been interesting to see who has learned a damn thing over the last few years and those who will keep shitting on others without care or empathy. Make sure you chose to surround yourself with the right people. Make sure you're the person people want to have around them. All of this is obvious I guess, but its good to reprocess it against real world data.

@tek see further on (unbalanced mercy)I'm talking about giving someone a chance to show who they really are. If they fail, back off and route around the problem.

@tek I avoided reading this article when I saw it earlier because I knew that it would just make me want to build one.
