i've only been to one panel ever (q&a with mike and jerry). i liked it actually, i dunno why i never did another panel of any sort. just never shakes out. i'd rather spend that time talking to friends i guess than quietly watching a presentation.
And they cut all the Q&A with Mike and Jerry this year!
I'm so sad... now I only have 1 panel to go to... what will I do with all this extra time?
I think they do Q&A during make a strip, but I could be misremembering. Weird that they aren't doing the regular Q&A though this year.
They do, which is why I'm still going to that.
But Mike is usually pretty occupied with drawing so you don't get quite the same interaction between the two of them.
Making me real sad.
They are combining Make a Strip and the proper Q&A into one big thing, with submitted questions.
And if you're wondering why, I have a theory which I will put in spoilers because it is liable to start a row and you're welcome to just skip over it:
You can basically thank freakouts and concerted efforts to damage their brand by people with various social justice agendas. Way to go, tumblr. Way to go, internet, you fucked up another cool thing by making people gun-shy of any interaction.
You are making me more sad not less sad.
Stahp.
Yeah but look what they're replacing it with. Less structured public interactions, more personal interactions. Tons of signing/pin trading hangout time.
I think that's a good thing.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb

Their stated reason is "We can only answer 'what do you like more, ninjas or pirates' so many times."
and considering some of the nonsense they get asked at their panels, that seems like an accurate complaint
if you want to go to a Jerry & Mike panel, having one panel to go to makes it easy to see what you want to see, get what you want out of it, and you don't have problems with repeat questions / time-wasting nonsense because there's only one, focused panel instead of a dozen awkward hangouts.
and FWIW, although I think the relationship has been rocky, the social justice agenda has been pretty good overall to PAX. A con nominally open to anyone, not just white male nerd fans, is good for the industry and good for the community.

We are not small dudes. I am 6'1", 285 give or take (hopefully less by Pax)
You see that picture? I see a bunch of scrawny scrubs standing in between me and a LoL Skin. That's what I see. I don't see a barrier, I see an opportunity to violate all kinds of personal space. We can make a game of it. The game starts by taking two klonopin each. Then you wait about 15 minutes, and start slowly walking forward into the sea of nerd.
We will be at the front in like 30 seconds.
it's not the nerds it's their 140 lb backpacks
Can we just topple them by yanking their top strap?
u are running the risk of the other nerds being alarmed by the strangled yawp from the back and all simultaneously whipping around to see what is going on

Wait do people actually care about college GPA anywhere in a job interview? Its the kind of thing I'd internally laugh at if brought up repeatedly in an interview
I never put it on my resume yet it came up in every interview I did. Most of the time I was chided afterwards for not putting it on my resume since it was "a big deal" to them and could have hurt my chances had it not come up in the interview.
They cant get this without transcripts right? Are they actually going to do this? If I am a grown ass man looking for a non entry level position, I'm really not sure how I am going to answer that question when I have ~8 years experience. I doubt I could tell them what my degree was for at that point.
I leave it blank whenever I have to fill out one of those things. You gotta draw a line somewhere. No one will ever look or care or anything.
Lot of employers have asked for my transcripts after hiring me.
You're kidding right?
I've never heard of that happening to anyone ever! Are you doing some sort of sciencing or something wherein people care?
i have designed/engineered stuff that could hurt/maim/kill if it failed.
I have also been around someone that said they were a degrees engineer and that was either a complete lie or his engineering program was the worst. Was university of Houston though so I think it's more likely that he fibbed.
degrees...engineer?
yeah I've had to produce transcripts for all my jobs. I'm in a similar position where if I fuck up monstrously a whole lot of people could get hurt or killed.
I was on my phone . should have read 'degreed' engineer. New mobile site is murder etc.

I'm curious if any of you happen to know how well Mac OS X handles its own garbage collection of deleted files, seeing as by design they mostly - as far as I'm aware - take that out of your hands.
syndalis
Not quite sure what you mean WRT "garbage collection of deleted files"
Garbage collection of objects and arrays in memory is pretty solid...
When you delete a file, it drops it from the file system... if you delete a file via interface / Automator functions it goes into a trash bin...
OSX is SMART capable now, so SSDs don't get junked over a long enough timeline like they used to...
If I put a file into the bin and I force the bin to empty, is it still cluttering up my usable memory until OS X gets around to doing something else later? In the manner that such a deletion would still leave memory less usable on Windows, but which you can fix there with a defrag.
It kind of feels on the basis of my laptop slowing down over time that yes, there is some defrag corollary that needs to run and sometimes does, but no it does not run immediately and no you cannot force it to run.
i am p sure that, just like on windows, the deallocated bytes are not immediately blanked out - they are just made available for allocation and overwritten whenever data is allocated in those sectors.
if you need something blanked out you should get a utility that does this.
So that's how all file systems have always worked. Deleting a file removes its record from a tree and that's that. Nothing is actually done with the vast majority of bits it was using on the disk.
In general, defrag as an activity that the user does to improve performance is outdated. There are lazy-defrag algorithms that push around bits of files as they are accessed and changed that are proven to be faster in the long run. Frequently accessed files are slowly pushed together, infrequently accessed files are allowed to drift apart. Rather than forcing everything to be contiguous, smarter schemes are used that better reflect the realities of caching and where bottlenecks actually form (turns out its not always seek time finding file fragments).
Logging the usage data and then doing all the optimal moves at once would not only be roughly the same overhead, it would require the user stop working and allow the process to complete, making it roundly an inferior solution.

Is it because I ate goat that one time?
It was just once, I swear.
Can't hold goat eating against a man, goats are great and "delicious" is just one of the many wonder traits a goat possesses. Forgiveness is another, so said goat probably doesn't hold it against you, although building a mini goat shrine and/or buying Goat Simulator would be worthwhile penance
