Wow they really did rebrand it as X huh. (Haven't been here in a while, but I don't want this account to be marked as idle, rm'ed, and squatted. Find me at the pinned link in my profile if you want.)

Last week was my final week at 10x Genomics. It was a great 4.5 years. I'm going to be taking a couple of months off, then in the fall I'll be going back to school (one final time) at UMich to get a PhD in Bioinformatics.

The saddest part is programmers completely ignoring how Alexander got a chance to actually try out his architecture patterns idea in the real world, and ended up declaring it to have failed. See “The Failure of Pattern Languages” chapter in dreamsongs.com/Files/Pattern…

Unpopular opinion: this book is almost 30 years old and in all honesty didn't age very well. If you own a copy do yourself a favor: bury it deeply in your bookshelf and forget about it forever.

PulseAudio (an audio management system for Linux) recognizes the haptic vibration motor on the PS5 controller as a speaker, set it as the default output, and started playing the Hades menu music by vibrating the controller.

Crazy how well this dates the show's production, because they pretty clearly just picked out all the blurple pieces from 2020's Limited Edition Trolls World Tour Trix

When you inevitably do shut down in a couple of months could you please just release Bluetooth drivers for the controller first? It's a good controller and I'd like to be able to use it.
