I work in a place that aspires to be Initech.

Interviews still, yesterday was a pleasant Russian lady and she was pretty capable. She won't be on our team though, as she's got no technical background - no one's perfect I guess. So far though, has been some impressive people - one guy with an M.A in Mathematics couldn't explain what an ODE is, another said you'd need a Computer Science background to understand what the Internet is in layman's terms, one emailed asking for the job description and one guy forgot what day his interview was. Either the job market is awash with incompetents or all the good people are working someplace else.

Rather disappointed no one tweeted that always popular PA move of "citation needed" at her, tsk, what has Twitter come to. Good to see Wu is as batty as ever.

Just noticed this, but come on, banning the use of "The Man" in an artsie course ?

Chuck D for President

In my experience, be easier than your Engineering classes and fulfill the humanities quota they pushed on us

Hm, waste of time to bring it up to Trump and his backers as that's a wall but might be effective to spend that on other people watching - so campaign for his opponents or just campaign against him so to speak.

Diablo 3 season 4. Now with a Horadric cube of sorts, haven't played with it yet though

Being able to pontificate to others or just wank via text ?

Latest drama is that Maxwell doesn't support asynchronous computing http://www.overclock.net/t/1569897/various-ashes-of-the-singularity-dx12-benchmarks/1210#post_24357053

Extreme triggering.

Strange, man, very strange. XCOM 2 is delayed - http://xcom.com/news/en/xcom-2-now-coming-to-pc-worldwide-on-february-5-2016

Got a new fountain pen and going to get a new laptop, a refurbished T420. All in all, a decent Friday.

Unlawful discharge of a weapon as well, perhaps.

Sounds like some crappy alternative band, to me.

Well, technically I am a subject of the Queen, so yes, yes I do want that. One good thing, someone will make a Firebat suit, perhaps ?

Uh huh. Well, hopefully, yahoos don't kill anyone but themselves fooling around with these.

Meh, people whining about jerks online seem to inevitably find some way to justify the sword cutting away from them. Don't think we will ever end up in some utopia where there are no jerks in reality, don't see why the Internet would differ

Watching the story of the reporter getting killed on air, crazy.

Whazzat? Googling indicates that it involves planning and execution phases, so you plan moves, the AI does and then everything gets acted out. I guess it cuts the payoff of negative tactics ? I've never played a game with it, at least any I can recall - possibly something in a wargame.
