Bought a Wacon drawing tablet today. After some deliberations I went for the cheaper model that is advised for beginner's, since, well, I don't know what I'm doing. But the more expensive models were so much better... and so much more expensive...
I already notice that I've really got to get used to the absolute positioning. I keep using it as a touch pad!
I also realised that in a sense, I already have two other Wacom devices: both my phone (Samsung Note8) and tablet (Samsung Tab S4) have an s-pen, which is the same thing. Especially the Tab S4, using the Pen-Up app, is showing features of the more expensive Wacom models: pressure sensitive, multi touch, tilt(!), and of course its own display...
The Scream VI trailer is out! It looks great. Nice detail is that unlike the previous one where they suggested Tara (Jenna Ortega's character) was the opening kill, here we see her in multiple outfits, so she is in the film for a while. Not so nice is that there is a clip of Tara in trouble that she maybe doesn't survive...
In cinemas in March!

I think the biggest missing feature on Mastodon is the ability to specify how a post is supposed to taste. I know you can describe it in the body of your post or use taste hashtags but it really should be supported on the protocol level and I just can't really see Mastodon getting popular without it.

I want to stress this quote:
"Never forget that the interview is for you, too."
So many people forget that. It's also about you selecting them as employer. It's why I don't consider a "not a fit" result to be negative, especially when it's true.
They did not ask a single question about my technical competencies, my achievements, or what I was looking for in my next opportunity. I was told this interview was a vibe check and that they'd prefer if I asked all the questions to see what was important to me, so I did.Unsurprisingly, they passed on me the next day for not being a "🚩cultural fit". I honestly laughed for a solid hour.
Never forget that the interview is for you, too.

I just had the worst #interview of my entire #career . It turned out to be an insightful list of precisely how NOT to attract talent. In that way, it was really useful to me as a candidate.
Presented for your amusement, here's a thread of what I asked. It's going to be a longboi, but here's my absolute favorite:
🚩 Do you have any queer peers? Is this a safe place for them to work? "We don't talk about that here."

🚩What interested you about my experience or profile? Why did you reach out to me?
"You don't have that much experience, and we are looking for a candidate we can mold into our needs." [editors note: I have 7 years of experience, 3 certs, and have shipped over 23 projects???]

Some of my favourite science history facts:
The term "big bang theory" was coined by a scientist who didn't believe in it but in a static universe. He thought by giving it a ridiculous name, the theory would go away. The name stuck.
"Schrödinger's Cat" is a thought experiment often used to explain an interpretation of quantum physics where things can exist in multiple states at the same time as long as there's no other boundary condition (the cat is both dead and alive as long as you don't look into the box). Schrödinger did indeed come up with it, but since he didn't believe in this interpretation, the thought experiment was intended to make fun of the theory.

Others:
The cosmic microwave background radiation that is the result from the start of our universe, was first by the researchers thought to be the result of pigeon poo that had built up in their antenna. So this research project involved them standing in the big horn of the antenna with brooms scraping out pigeon poo.
When researchers tried to find out how much gravity was slowing down the expansion of the universe and whether it would be enough to pull the universe back together in some kind of big crunch, they redid their calculations many times because the result was so unexpected. But eventually they had to publish it. The answer to whether the universe's expansion was slowing down enough was that it was speeding up. No-one knows why.

I'd fallen for, and helped spread, what I now realize was a myth about quote tweets: That there's almost no research on them. Big mistake! Now rectified.
Here's my new post, digging into more than 30 studies with data on quote tweets. They don't settle all the questions. But there are answers, or at least partial ones, to most. It's still complicated, though.
It's a * very * long read, but there are summary points ....1/2

@ChrisWere I hope bystander behavior improves so there's less mobbing.
I agree it would be terrible if the worst fears came true - I'd hope that would mean a change of course.
In the ideal world, the community would step in & help people called out for legitimate reasons to see what's wrong, edit/delete, & learn from it - and/or moderators if they had the time to do so.
If moderators don't keep out racists & co though, calling out is a way to show the instance/system is failing.
I keep getting asked to support writing rich-text-formatted posts in #Hometown (we already read them just fine). I finally wrote down, in this comment on this Github issue, a short essay outlining all my concerns with doing so:

Some of this is problems with Markdown, while some of this is problems with interoperability regarding any rich text rendering at all.

@Darius Kazemi It might be interesting seeing how other activity pubs things do it for compatibility at the very least? I'm using friendica right now (yes I know, I'm no fan of PHP, but after trying like 40 different activity pub things it has the right mixture of features that I was looking for even if it doesn't really have the UI I would prefer, but Mastodon doesn't either) and it has the ability for four different types of Rich text, ranging from BB code like things to Mark down, and I forget what else is those are the ones I use.
Here is BB code bold
Here is Mark down bold
I honestly have no clue how it gets rendered out beyond, but I can mix and match all four different things in a single thing without issue and I've had no problems with such intermixing.
