So get this, here's an entire thread of people who saw my "disable the block layer" toot, and proceeded to display to the whole world that the joke went over their heads.

My sides are in orbit.

@kitty @alexa @Epsiloco @terryenglish

Shut it down, the cat has figured me out.

@alexa @Epsiloco @kitty @terryenglish I didn't expect it, but it's not a huge deal. The first email I ever received about my personal website in the late 90s (black background, red text, everything wrapped in <pre> tags) was a flame. I made 9/11 jokes *on* 9/11.

Not that I'm not baffled by all the hate, and I have a lot of questions for these people, but no, it doesn't bug me.

My jimmies remain unrustled by all the free real estate.

Eternally.

@alexa @kitty @p @terryenglish I'm convinced that the only way to get p riled up is to throw goats at him

@terryenglish @alexa @Epsiloco @kitty There might be a case, I don't know, but who would you bring it to? Anyone who listens to this tankie cancellation-factory basically made up their mind before hearing the first word. Probably reveling in it, "Ha, I triggered all those Nazis". She should maybe get a dang life, you know? Stalkin' instances, stalkin' people on the instances. In the amount of time it took to do that, she could have learned to write a dang spider.

...Until I am elected Chancellor. Then she'll wish she had done more.

@kitty @MisterRogersSnapped @alyx @igeljaeger Yeah, there's the matter of making sure you can work there, but it's often treated like "Do you already agree?" They'll ask what my philosophy on unit testing is. It's a hivemind question. (They probably don't ask that any more, they probably ask about repo branching scheme now.) I've hacked at places with some tests, no tests, excessive testing, full-stack tests, unit tests, fuzzers running 24 hours a day. Anyone can handle whatever, there's no learning curve. They're asking to see if you already agree. (I used to like API-level tests, but I think this is probably because I think about APIs a lot.) Got passed on once due to the answer I gave (I shit you not) to the question of where I read my tech news.

(That's why I went freelance for so long. Could not stand the alternation between hivemind questions and people giving me toy problems and asking me to prove that I have basic competence at work I have spent my life doing.)

this is the funniest thing I've read about the bolshevik revolution, the entire economic mismanagement that took hold from 1917 until 1923(with some help of WW1) is mindbogglingly stupid

>During the civil war the regime had collected no taxes, funding itself by confiscating grain and other goods and printing paper money. Confusion enveloped the country’s monetary base. The populace still used nikolaevki (rubles under Nicholas II), dumskie (rubles associated with the Duma period), and kerenki (rubles under Kerensky and the Provisional Government), which the Soviet regime itself printed for a time without the crown on the double-headed eagle, as well as foreign currency, which circulated illegally and at ever steeper exchange rates.The Whites in territories they controlled had accepted Soviet-printed kerenki, but not Soviet rubles (sovznaki) on which the Whites stamped “money for idiots.”The resulting runaway inflation made vodka a major means of exchange and store of value, as barter took over the economy. Things were not as bad as Weimar Germany’s hyperinflation, where the Mark went from 60 to $1 in 1921 to 4.2 trillion to $1 two years later, but a top tsarist-era economist estimated that between 1914 and 1923 the ruble depreciated by 50 million times.
>Some Bolshevik fanatics asserted that the hyperinflation constituted a form of class war, and one called the printing presses the “machine-gun of the finance commissariat.” Ideologues also asserted that the “end of money” marked an advance in the stages of civilization, toward Communism.
