@andrew773 She was on an H-1B1 visa for a few years, supporting her wife because the H-4 you get with an H-1B1 (which is the special Singapore H-1B) doesn't allow employment. And because Singapore doesn't recognize same sex marriages. So for you it's about employers, for her it's about getting to live in the same country as her wife.

@skinnylatte Lots of places have NIMBYs but the nightmare of permitting for anything in SF seems particularly bad even compared to other NIMBY and/or corrupt cities.

@WitchHayley @skinnylatte They did finally get rid of their annual blackface festival a few years ago, but the fact that they had an annual blackface festival until a few years ago certainly says something. Also the fact that there was violence against the people advocating to get rid of the blackface.

@dalias @ireneista There was an apocryphal set of instructions for building Chrome going around where step 1 was "get hired by Google", step 2 was "now that you have access to the build farm..."

@skinnylatte So apparently at some point in the 20th century, "Chinese bakeries" were somewhat common in Mexico City, but they were Chinese in the sense of being run by Chinese people, but still making Mexican style bread (conchas and whatnot), rathet than making some specific Chinese kind of baked goods. Though there does seem to be some overlap between the two sets of baked goods.

@whitequark pretty rude especially if it's something that can be used in kernel code.

@skinnylatte Singapore sounds like it's "here’s the same 3 things every meal, every day" in every sense except the literal one of food.

@lynne With both glslang and the GLSL language itself it feels like there's a lot of users just suffering in silence, I would really love to move the language forward but it's hard to make a case for it because it seems like there isn't demand, but it might only seem that way because people figure nothing will happen. And there's a lot of structural history for how it ended up this was. Gotta try to build a community somehow now that IHVs don't care about GLSL anymore.

@lynne Thanks, that's good feedback. We have been working on having a more reasonable API surface for glslang and I really want to make separate compilation more of a thing for GLSL where you can compile chunks separately and link SPIR-V files. There's actually a spirv-link tool and a way to use it with glslang but it was never really meant for public use. Feel free to file issues, I can't promise anything but at least we'll have a record that someone wants this.

@lynne What exactly do you hate about GLSL and is there a way the language could be improved such that you would hate it less?

@whitequark If it wasn't anonymous you would be able to ask the person who clicked the button and they would be able to say that they clicked it accidentally, which is the only reason people click that particular button.

@whitequark Have you see this, which I think is still a definitive reference at least for Linux and Mac? https://apenwarr.ca/log/20101213

@whitequark @shironeko @grumpybozo CLAs generally have several parts, Signed-off-by replaces only one (you representing that you have the right to contribute that code), which is the least controversial one but also arguably the most important one after the whole SCO copyright kerfuffle.

@whitequark A lot of what the USSR made was knockoffs of Western products, the US can't even manage that so in a way it's even more screwed.

@whitequark @mei My long-standing theory is that some significant proportion of the people working for these companies are actually ballast, to be jettisoned when they need to boost the stock price.

@whitequark @MonniauxD Did you also only get half a phone line? I somehow managed to get dialup working on one of those but only for like 5 minutes at a time.

@graydon If you upgrade the systems to actually supply fresh air you also get rid of all the deleterious effects of high CO₂, like how it makes people tired.

@whitequark The spikes look pretty bad but the regular background p99 being 2 seconds also raises some questions.

@whitequark Oh so that might explain why using the exit node worked fine for web browsing but failed completely for a proprietary application that probably relied on a larger MTU somehow. I thought it was MTU problems but didn't realize tailscale's MTU was so low.

@skinnylatte One relatively new place that I like is Lanner Noodles in Central Square, but that's because I love wheat noodles and beef soup. Also because it's right next to the bus stop where I would catch the bus to go home.
