We're hiring a systems engineer for the iRODS team! If you're looking for a fully-remote linux-y C++ role, have a look at this job listing (see replies).

Experience with CMake, Docker, Boost and/or Python is a plus.

Hanging around waiting for launch this #CoatiMonday, with another vinyl sticker my bride gave me as an anniversary gift. I *love* this pose; it's such a great nonanthro-animal-hanging-out look.

Principles of UI, A Thread:
1. natural mapping
2. visibility of system state
3. discoverability
4. constraints and affordances
5. habits and spatial memory
6. locus of attention
7. no modes
8. fast feedback
9. do not cause harm to a user's data or through inaction allow user data to come to harm
10. prefer undo to confirmation boxes. For actions that can't be undone, force a "cooling off" period of at least 30 seconds.
11. measure using Fitt's, Hick's, GOMS, etc. but always test with real users.

i actually have a huge soft spot for text adventure games with mechanics that only work in text adventure games

like treating similes literally is cool

i've spoken at length about Counterfeit Monkey, a game that rules. the primary mechanic of that game is that you have a device that can remove letters from things, as long as they stay valid words. for example, near the beginning of the game you get a tube of gel that undoes the letter-removing process. but you're going to need a lot more than that, so you set the letter-remover to E and use it on TUBE to get TUB

i don't remember the name but i once played a game where a linguistic wizard died and you're basically contracted to loot their house for anything valuable before they demolish the whole place, but each room has a different language spell cast on it that dictates what you're allowed to type. like at one point you GO NORTH and suddenly everything the game tells you is written with 100% words that start with N. you quickly realize that you can only use commands that start with N, too. it won't even accept SAVE, RESTORE or QUIT. there's something that you have to take, so you NICK it, but then you realize that you walked north to get here and still have to leave. "south" doesn't begin with N. so you NAVIGATE NOT NORTH

there was another one i saw but didn't play where you're a cryptozoolinguist trying to prove the existence of letters other than the 3 in your known alphabet, by wandering the forest and hunting them down. and you're only allowed to ever type those three letters plus any that you've already found

hello! i need $80 to order groceries, $60 for medical weed, and $35 for my phone bill -- $175 in total

i have to work from home because i have asthma and catching covid is a major health risk for me. a friend has a really good opportunity that i'll be looking into
