Cosmo was shunned because he went looney tunes in a very short timespan.

For those who don't really watch speedruns, what happened to him was really fucked up.

- Lost in very important tournament.

- Got depressed because of it.

- Girlfriend left him.

- More depressed.

- Suddenly, "I'm actually a girl".

I feel really really sorry for Cosmo, so much went wrong in his life in a very short timespan and he snapped.


This account has been violating the guidelines a lot in its short life. Please stop.

Can you give me examples where I'm breaking the guidelines? I've been extra careful to leave comments that contribute to the discussion and share a unique point of view.


While that is a possible sequence of events, it may have been a different cause/effect relationship. From what I saw losing the Nintendo World Championship wasn't something she was unhappy about and was glad to just be a part of it. Maybe girlfriend left because she couldn't handle the flack they were both receiving. Maybe transitioning is something Narcissa has been trying to suppress for a long time and finally couldn't anymore, and everything together happened.

I guess my point is, you really don't know all of that and you seem to be painting her in the worst possible light, which sort of is what I was talking about in my above comment. I can't say any of us would have been able to handle the same situation any better, same with No Man's Sky.


It's not "He's actually a girl." She's a woman. Use the right pronouns.


They suck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQksc1-5Zoc - No one I know would enjoy living in this conditions.


They need to figure out how to keep these things away from people's homes.

Imagine living in this constant flicker, I would go insane.


Most of those effects are from earlier turbines. For new wind parks, shadows are modelled to ensure that no residential buildings are in the shadow. Often no problem if they're close to farmland, there's usually only one inhabited building in a larger radius.


I completely agree with you.

(It's worth nothing that fracking and coal mining are even worse.)


Yeah, my current apartment is in the path of a small urban one for a little while in the spring and fall when the sun is in the right place. It is surprisingly annoying, but tolerable for me since it is just a short time of day for a short part of the year (and I don't get seizures, important since it seems to flash at seizure-triggering speeds). The big ones look like they are slow enough to avoid triggering seizures but would otherwise be worse, lasting longer each day and for more of the year and would be just as annoying. I never considered this side effect until it happened to me.


If by "constant" you mean "for a short period of time in the morning/evening". A tree waving in the breeze creates the same effect, and people seem to live with that.


A tree in the wind is random, a turbine is not.

edit: I love wind noise, it doesn't mean I also love car alarms because they are also noise.


That sucks. I wonder for how many weeks a year the angle of the sun is such that the shadow hits that house.


Can I buy and install Protube on my iphone without using the app store?


These lists are not useful at all honestly, just a mesh of links with no context or info why it would interest someone.


You speak for yourself, I hope. Because I (for one) found this useful.


I like Dadgum's blog. http://prog21.dadgum.com/

Being an older developer (please don't crucify me he's old compared to people I've worked with), his insight is really interesting to me.

I also use Stacknews to follow tools that interest me. This site aggregates articles and I can read them inline. It's like RSS on steroids.

Prog21 is a goldmine, it's a shame he's retired it.


I can tell you how not to do it. I'll never forget the funniest interview I ever had. I interviewed with this company called Deja vu Security.

http://www.dejavusecurity.com/

I explicitly told them, via email, I have ZERO experience pen testing, or anything related to hacking. I'm a terrific software engineer looking to pivot into this market, would take a salary cut to get my feet wet and be mentored. Would this be possible? Are you guys remotely interested in an arrangement like this?

They say great, when can we sync up? That's definitely something we can do.

So we set a call up and the call takes literally 39 seconds, I'll never forget it. He asked me what experience I had, and I reply: None whatsoever, like I mentioned in my email I'm interested in jumping into this line of work though.

"Thanks but we're not going to move forward."

Before I can even say thank you for your time, goodbye, the dude just hangs up the phone on me lol.


We have a hiring process for folks with no infosec experience. It isn't easy, but it works. The guys at Deja are solid and consulting makes for busy folks, so don't hold a low opinion of them. Probably did not pay close enough attention to the initial email.

If you are interested shoot careers at carvesystems dot com an email.


Hey anon_dev_123456, This is Adam Cecchetti CEO of Deja vu Security. Over the last 2 years Deja has spent a lot of time refining our hiring processes, but occasionally an experience like this does slip through the cracks. We are always looking for candidates that are smart individuals, interested in security, and can code, any security experience is of course a plus. If you reach out to my email adam at dejavusecurity dot com I'd be happy to discuss what happened with your call and any other feedback you'd be willing to share.

Thanks, Adam


Communications breakdowns like that are funny. I remember communicating with a recruiter one time years ago that I'd be happy to do a part time contract to fill a need that I had a lot of experience with. He calls me up and immediately starts talking salary and full time so I had to re-explain everything that was in the email conversation as if he'd never seen it.


Damn, I love their Blender render homepage


I disagree. If I told you break some laws, you'll be protected, you still wouldn't be able to come up with a billion dollar idea and _execute_.

Uber's success hinged on the fact that they did a lot of things right, most importantly building something that's a net positive to the end user. Breaking laws just helped them expand quicker.

The end user for Uber doesn't care at all about wages for the drivers. "Oh that's so sad... but I need to use Uber because it's hassle free."
