Add a high-powered sniper rifle and some of that camo face paint and you could be the next ad to join the army.

I swear we've had a decade of the twats coming out of the woodwork. Modern media is a machine for driving people insane.
It's highly thought of as a story (apparently) but I remember thinking (a) get *on* with it, and (b) they're fucking *daleks* you pillock.
Mind you, the ethical debate over the deliberate eradication of smallpox was pretty recent when it originally aired.
Incidentally, the post you link to is one reason why I think everyone should be paid the same.

I did get the TGTBATU reference FWIW.
(I'm also someone who does a lot better with mulling time - but even we're I not I like to think I'm sufficiently self-aware to realise that we shouldn't be selecting for a particular cognitive style. Current approaches are terrible.)
10.09.2025 21:33 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's an unfortunate truism that our industry doesn't know how to interview. That there are (some very excellent, if you're not actually needing them for the titular purpose) volumes on "acing the technical interview" is kind of dispiriting.

Fuck knows what the pm is doing trying to court these bastards.
Ugh. Need a break, my inner Gates is showing.
The recent responses from the SoF have been a breath of fresh air. Yet unfortunately, "below the line," there's the usual contrapuntal intolerant bullshit.
Maybe people still don't grok how appalling section 28 was. It speaks to a lack of empathy, even amongst a group who pride themselves on it.
What lovely people. (Since this is a low-bandwidth medium, let me be clear: that's a sincere expression.)

Okay, so we have an infantalising and authoritarian government; but honestly in this case it seems like no loss.
It's probably the most realistic depiction of research mathematics ever committed to the screen.
