@astrid If they simply bought higher quality spoons they would not bend.

Was I fucking drunk when I designed this board? I completely missed 2 GPIOs to control a LED and a switch on the schematic, and I used the wrong SERCOM for the I2C lines which means I now need to swap SCL and SDA.

This thing is a fucking mess.

Anyone know of any game designer roles going in Australia at the moment? Remote, or Sydney based.

Boosts appreciated!

Bought a pelican case off ebay, come with some hardware. Anyone able to ID it?

Requirements to put in a job description to discourage or filter out autistic people:

  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Strong people skills
  • Good culture fit
  • Multitasking
  • A fast-paced dynamic environment
  • Bachelor's degree or better

I see these things and think you don't want my >30 years of programming and machine learning experience, or my problem-solving skills and comprehensive knowledge that had people mistaking me for one of the team's PhDs, or my solutions that have proven patent-worthy. Your loss.

@hosford42 @actuallyautistic @neurodivergence Having to work in office.

@hosford42 @actuallyautistic @neurodivergence A good compromise would be private office, 3 day work week, private parking spot and company car/commute paid for.

Grabbed a second callsign, got granted yesterday - VK2AGP.

New system for getting them is pretty nice :)

I'd still love a nice GPU-related 2 letter call...but there aren't many free in VK2 :(

Lack of high speed rail in AU is transphobic.

did you know that estradiol potentiates the effects of amphetamine by a factor of up to 6x (depending how you measure it and which pathway you look at)?

definitely enough to make you need way less of the latter to be alert, focused, and functional

@whitequark I've noticed no change here whatsoever sadly :(

the herman miller aeron chair is incredibly ergonomic because it makes you sit correctly. unfortunately, it is also incredibly biphobic because it makes you sit correctly

Will attempt activation of VK3/VC-025 at 0700 UTC (1h20m from now). 144.100 SSB is the plan!

@harper will be on HF, likely 40m.

Woke up as the train got to Albury, last stop in NSW. We've passed Wangaratta now, deep into VIC. Coffee acquired. Just over an hour till I arrive at Southern Cross Station.

Anyone happen to have any info on the PV-85R 2m linear amp? Trying to find a schematic.. https://www.machine--tools.com/By-Type-/Grinder-/2M-band-85-watt-power-amplifier-pv-85R-high-power.ASPX

Anyways, channeling negative energy into things today, and finally after 7 years cancelled my old health insurance policy (originally had to phone up, that'll make me put things off VERY quickly...and apparently for 7 years)

Any Aussie trans folks got any recommendations on health insurance?

Waiting on news as to whether I have a job or not.

Given the MS/ATVI news, there may be a chance I will be looking for work soon. Plenty of others where I work already are. Anyone got any leads on game dev (and adjacent) roles for QA, Production, Design, Art, and Engineering? AU/NZ/EU/US.

For myself, roles around GPU programming, performance/memory optimisation, and generalist engine development would be appreciated! Remote is a must for me, able to work my timezone preferred, though wiggle room either side for US/EU is ok.

Boosts welcome <3

Get script for 40mg vyvanse due to 50mg shortage, turns out 40mg is now in shortage. This is utterly FUCKING RIDICULOUS.
