While we were developing common sense, she studied the blade.

I certainly get lag in my pixels but no disconnects.

I've learned a lot by breaking things. By making mistakes and watching other people make mistakes. I've writing some blog posts that make me look real smart.

But mostly just bang code together until it works. Run tests and perf stuff until it looks good. It's time. I have the time to write it up. And check back on what was really happening.

But I still mostly learn by suffering.

I just have to say "tastes like c" is a visceral way to say it. I approve.

I'm not a huge fan of the sonic movies. But he is really fun in them.

Catch 22 is just about the funniest thing I've ever read. I don't think you'll finish it in a day, but it's amazing.

Never Let Me Go is the most "not for me" book I've ever read. I can see why people love it. And I respect what it's doing. I just don't want to play a long.

Project Hail Mary used to come up on r/books from time to time and was polarizing. Lots of folks loved it. Lots thought it wasn't good.

If you loved the Martian I think you'll like PHM. I did.

I've stopped using stash and mostly just commit to my working branch. I can squah that commit away if I want later. But we squash before merge so it doesn't tend to be worth it.

It's just less things to remember.

I think lots of the kernel folks are paid to contribute full time. For a while I was paid a full time maintainer on some apache licensed search stuff. Before that web stuff.

I guess the demoninator in that fraction is low.

My guess is the big video ram is high resolution textures, complex geometry, and a long draw distance. I honestly don't know much about video games though.

The smaller install is totally the map streaming stuff. I'm unsure quite why it has to be so big, but again, I don't know video games. I do recall you having to tell it where you want to start from and it'll download some stuff there.
