I found an entire thread on Reddit I had no idea about where people are just misunderstanding a tweet of mine and then mocking me: https://redd.it/8e88q4
Felt interesting. I've had the internet hate on my work before, but not in such an anonymous way where I wasn't even involved in sharing it.
Doesn't feel positive or negative, just sort of random
I tweeted "Shrek, the Gulag of Dreamworks"
Blown away by the amount of political meaning people seem to be assigning to this lol. I'm not sure I get any of it.
People: Follow more people! My quick sample showed like an average of 5-10. Make it like 50 or so at least! Anyone know the most efficient way to go trawling?
We have a few hundred people here now but most of you are following/being followed by too few people to create a critical mass of crosstalk, especially since this thing sets very conservative visibility defaults. Also, please add a profile pic, some biographical tags etc.
Probably going to buy an intermodal shipping container. I've entered the devotional phase of Ribbonfarm readership.

Spent some time today exploring NASA’s photo collections. Pics from the Cassini–Huygens mission to Saturn were particularly awesome to me.
The shadows created between the planet, moons, and rings bring a sense of dimension to the pictures that I don’t often feel with astrophotography.

I've been trying to find good instances like this one, but no tools on the internet are specific enough to find.
What instances are you guys on that you would recommend/
I am becoming convinced that "rationalism" is a disease that makes smart people even more susceptible to the Dunning-Kruger effect, and makes the outcomes of DK even more intense & harmful.
To be very impolitic, rationalism is the HIV of the mind, lowering auto-immune defenses & making otherwise benign issues a major problem.
(This isn't a perfect analogy bc rationalism also has some benefits, but best I got right now.)
@adrianmryan not watching tv atm, but bojack reminded me of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/8l6knn/hotel_concierges_shame_society_summarized_in_3031/ (Hotel Concierge is hard to read, but a unique pov)
Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.
If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
I also learned the effects of a 72" mower deck on an iPhone, though this is less interesting as they are quite predictable.
TIL (from direct observation) that crows hunt. Saw one catch a pocket gopher. I had no idea.
gdb: it doesn't work, just use printf instead
Began watching "Yes, Minister!" last night on Youtube. Filling in a major gap in my knowledge of refactoring lore.
Anyone else having trouble seeing images in the web app? They work fine on the phone.
I’m climbing for the first time in a long time and I have more technique than strength. Life, this is a pretty obvious allegory. I’m disappointed in you.
