katie, it’s really not fair how effectively you manage to nerdsnipe me (and, judging by your counters, many others). this is gonna be the 3rd or 4th thing, and like, god damn - i can’t be mad, cause my life is better for it, but like, i want to be

Sooo do I move on from the sky or do I nerdsnipe myself with clouds? Wrong answers only

oh lol it gets better, that game is such an effective nerdsnipe that AMD is just giving them a $16,000 threadripper box for testing purposes for free

I feel you on the nerdsnipe part ngl, this seems like the kind of thing you could esily spend a month thinking about bc it does just feel like it's simple enough to be possible

had a feature of https://t.co/zhCOM35PuQ on my mind for and since i am not totally sure how to do it i've decided to nerdsnipe all of you by describing it:
given a list of ingredients and cocktails that use them, how do you calculate minimal barcarts?

Second self-nerdsnipe of the day. Again, continued fractions.
Given a general CF of the form [b0,a1,b1,a2,b2…] meaning b0+a1/(b1+a2/(b2+…))
Can every rational number still
be represented as a finite list of coefficients if some b_i is constrained to be 17?
Say it’s b93

Got a hail damage assessment from my HOA so I'm working on that atm!
Stream should still be good to go at 3MT/5ET!
Quick Looks at Games!!!
I've got 4 lined up and I *KNOW* one of these games is gonna nerdsnipe some of y'all bad

Don't be afraid to put out code questions! You can nerdsnipe pretty much any developer with a good code question they take the bait every time.

I am still working back to my fighting form of 2-3 conferences in a week’s time. I can tell because I got distracted during a talk on systems thinking by some rage googling about systems thinking beyond Demming.
Falling for the nerdsnipe on day 2 of a conference? Rookie move.

My current predicament is that I'm stuck in a cyclical nerdsnipe/hyperfocus where every time I finish a really exciting and or interesting and or challenging part of my project, I immediately get got by the next one and want to keep working again

This sort of thing tends to be my kinda nerdsnipe (general IT, not gamedev), where I'll end up overengineering a solution to maximize UI speed, even though it's by all metrics unnecessary.
So I'd probably benchmark the users PC to find the best solution on first boot or something like that.

Lazyweb data nerdsnipe: is there a good way of creating a dataset for how late various places in London serve food until? I have a cool visualisation idea...
