151I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

@b0rk Running a GUI program, copying something to the clipboard, closing the program and having the clipboard be empty. Unfortunately no concrete example for you off the top of my head, but it is something I run into fairly often. I've always just dismissed it as one of the "quirks" of having a non-standard desktop environment...

#CHROMuLAN running chromatography data acquisition from ULAD32 on Milk-V Pioneer box #milkvpioneer 64-core RISC-V system. Application has been built on that system as well as #freepascal and #Lazarus LCL actual mainline GIT versions. uLAN kernel driver for instruments connection and control has been build directly on the system as well. Our #QtRvSim #Qt based simulator builds and on this #riscv system as well. More about our open-source chromatography system serving users more than 20 years there https://sourceforge.net/projects/chromulan/

Pretty sad to be honest, that we have an olympic quality track cycling team and no velodrome for them to train (yet, there's one with funding confirmed at least).
"Cycling: The women’s team pursuit qualifier at the National Velodrome has finished, with Ireland missing out on qualification for tomorrow’s round one.
Despite setting a new Irish record, their time of 4:12.447 was only enough to best Japan, leaving them ninth, with a top-eight finish needed to progress.
It ended: 1st – New Zealand, 2nd – USA, 3rd – GB, 4th – Italy, 5th – Germany, 6th – Australia, 7th – France, 8th – Canada, 9th Ireland and 10th – Japan.
To reiterate, Ireland currently doesn’t even have a velodrome, and it’s the first time an Irish women’s team have competed in this event at the Olympics. History-makers."

From some posts one could get the impression that we claim the kernel is basically flawless and finding an upstream bug means proving us wrong ("in your face, ha!"). Lol no, if you ask me, it's often a wonder that it works at all, and I'd bet many other devs would tell you the same.

Supergiant games always have amazing soundtracks. Darren Korb (and Ashley Barrett) are great.

> And yeah, as @firefly says, it's budget and production constraints. They're cheaping out, and they don't have the script ready early enough to VA everything by release time.
"Cheaping out" was my impression too. I know nothing about the costs of running a massive MMO, but it feels like they should be able to afford voicing the MSQ when the expac costs 40 quid on top of the 15 quid a month...

@delroth @firefly Oh, I think I did a bad job of my comment.. I wasn't trying to say that they didn't voice it because they written dialog says your name, I was trying to say that it bothered me how only unvoiced cutscenes had your name. I found it to be a double whammy of the cutscene not being voiced and "all of a sudden" people knowing your name.

@delroth @firefly The unvoiced thing always bothered me in ffxiv - seemed that any cutscene in which the written dialog says your character name isn't voiced. Plenty of games are capable of doing that in a way that the voice actor just doesn't read out your character name (Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous that I played yesterday does exactly this) and it isn't "immersion breaking" in the slightest to me. Certainly no more immersion breaking than doing MSQ in an MMO with so many players around the NPCs that you need a keybind to interact with them!

Wasn't the biggest twitter person before the exodus, but who I do miss from it is jdotb. It'd be nice to have his tweets show up here.

@sima Right. I would have thought that, given it's a "screening" interview, figuring out whether they understand the "culture" of upstream OSS projects (I guess with the assumption that upstream is involved) and how to deal with the various personalities and debates that are involved would be more important than their technical ability as an engineer.
I thought I should just chalk that up to having unrealistic expectations cos of my exposure to various upstream projects, but if you're looking for someone that's managing engineers working with those projects, it doesn't seem all that unrealistic after all...
