Firaxis—the studio behind the Civilization series—is hiring a historian. An actual historian. And note, when they ask for "4+ years as a Writer, Narrative Designer, or other position with commensurate duties," that includes teaching, writing, and research—i.e. your Ph.D. in History.

I like taking photos of weird things with beautiful landscape behind it. This is a wooden fence post with a view of the wonderful beach behind it.

I may have learned a lesson in marketing in a very inexpensive way. I tried running ads on Meta, Google, and LinkedIn. So far, none seem to be better than personal outreach and referrals. Best $300 I’ve spent so far.

I’ve realised that I’ve been doing this software engineering thing for 20 years and that this might be valuable experience to others. This is why I’ve relaunched my website and am making myself available for 1:1 coaching. Reach out if you think I can help! www.deanberris.com

Sometimes, the hardest thing to do in life is to say “no” to opportunities that come your way. The wiser (not just older) we get, the more discerning we can be. But it’s still hard to act and close a door when there’s something shiny on the other side.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Folks — I’m starting an exploration into a space I know very little about and I’d love your help. Do you know good packages in Rust/Go for SAT solving or model checking? I’m only vaguely aware of Z3 and TLA+, and I’m doing some research to attack an optimization/constraint solving problem. 🙏

You need to read this thread so you can use the meme to quickly explain to someone else why you're reacting strongly to something very small. Because you should.

This was stuck in my drafts for a while and was on the verge of getting too long, so I decided to edit it down and finally complete it. I also decided not to paywall this for maximum reach and utility. 😊 medium.com/@deanberris/...

Today I’m learning that I’m not smart enough to understand Kubernetes’ pod affinity and anti-affinity features. I call it a good day. 😊
