    This is literally me. We’ve been out here three years - One more year of putting up with the tech world during the day, and building our solace nights and weekends and this place will be close enough to self-sufficient that I can check out of the workday forever.

    Don’t get me wrong - building a place in the forest yourself, from nothing, is a lot of work. But it is the kind of work that leaves your body tired and your brain energized. Not the soul sucking every day of dealing with ‘business’ types.

    And every year life gets a bit easier here, while it gets harder every day in the tech industry.







  • I feel this - I’m often on the other end working with data from clinicians in the field for massive studies. The forms that come in can have an infinite number of possibilities just for noting sex. Enough so that our semantic layer needs a human reviewer because we keep finding new ways field clinicians have of noting this. Now imagine that over the whole gamut of identifiers.

    tl:dr - Humans are almost always the problem in data harmonization.




  • Why even type this out?

    Do you just like arguing stupid points for fun even when you know yourself that you are wrong?

    Have you never seen an automotive touchscreen before?

    Even within one model/brand there are a ton of panes, and layouts. And even when you choose one layout, which apps are open changes the location and size of the buttons. Now add into that multiple brands, models, layout, and years… And your comment gets more worthless at every step.

    Beyond that. The screen doesn’t use haptic feedback to tell you where your fingers are so that the parts of your brain that evolved to handle that kind of context can use it without your fucking eyes. ‘Oh I touched the round thing, I know there are 4 rectangles next to this’ is a built-in feedback loop that a touchscreen does not provide at this time.
