@InfiniteJes I don't understand why they cancelled -- and I REALLY don't understand why they made the decision so early yesterday. They had plenty of time to clear parking lots and sidewalks, and roads were fine this morning. #backInMyDay

Having been exposed to Boost template errors and Clojure tracebacks I don't really understand the critique of nix error diagnostics. If anything they're being too nice by including contextual information, no matter how irrelevant it is. #backinmyday #itevenhascolors

All I want for #Christmas is a slow news week. I know it's too much to ask for these days but back in my day this week was all fluff stories about the hottest toys and how great consumerism was... It was a simpler time

My mom loved to go to midnight mass at San Felipe church. Back then, it was always snowy, the plaza would be all lit up, somebody would be playing music and my dad would let me have some rompope. #BackInMyDay #NewMexico -

Not trying to be #backinmyday about Halloween but it was such an amazing event as a kid to me for like a decade and I feel like kids today are losing such a big experience of growing up by having trunk or treats instead.
If safety is the concern why not organize groups like on FB or in the neighborhoods so a parent is with them or kids have a pack to travel with and route. I guess I just want Halloween to be a real experience again and not so artificial.

Also, the two, 2TB drives I ordered? With shipping, $45.
Y'all I remember saving up $200 to purchase a 1.2gig drive.
More than that, I remember a cousin who has 1 megabyte of storage and we were all like, "How will you ever fill that up?"

In 1987, we built neural nets with punched cards uphill both ways in a snowstorm. Now these kids just ‘use’ AI without proving Fermat’s Last Theorem first. Disgraceful. 📉🤖 #BackInMyDay #AIgatekeeping

“Back in my day, children were seen, not heard”—and look how well that turned out! Just generations of emotionally stunted adults who panic at the word therapy.

It’s crazy how with modern TVs, the kids now get more individual space than we used to get for the entire screen growing up!

Back in the day, if you'd told me I'd be working on a scene with nearly 2 million Edges/Triangles, I'd have laughed!
"Yeah, no. I'm not going to be a Professional 3d Artist, with a £50k modelling workstation!"
And rendering? Take an hour to load it onto a disk (or a few!), and take it to the Render Farm, let them have it for a few days... (I'm currently wondering how to optimise to below 3 minutes!) -

Just got my driving license done a few weeks back, and it just hit me how easy it is to do now.
I remember having to go to supermarkets to find a photo booth in order to get your pictures done. Now I can simply take a selfie and upload it.
Does anyone have any similar #backinmyday stories?

Is it just me or are my LED bulbs going out now just as fast as my old incandescent bulbs? It felt like when I first started using them that they seemingly lasted forever. Are they building in obsolescence or am I crazy?

#BackInMyDay it didn't take ten seconds for my remote control to load.

Honestly, banning Cellphones in School is like banning Calculators.
Instead of being afraid, maybe instead teach how to use it effectively. Teach good habits around it. They're going to have it with them for the rest of their lives, in all likelyhood, so making sure they can use it effectively should be a top priority.
The justification used for Calculators was "You're not going to always have one in your pocket!"
That ship fucking sailed didn't it? And I called that shit out in grade 2. Which was checks I think 1998/1999?
My point is that school boards that ban phones are luddites.

Looking back to the late 80s- early 90s:
When my brothers and I were kids we would ride our bikes through the trails around our house. There were a lot, unfortunately they are all full of homes these days. One day we made booby traps and had to ride through them. I got caught across the throat with a rope. I wasn't badly hurt, but I spent much of that summer with an ugly rope burn around my throat. 🤣
I miss those days.

Good golly, donuts are expensive! I met a friend at a donut shop this morning to catch up and talk. I didn't want to sit for 90 minutes without buying anything so I got donuts to take home to the kids. Almost 18 bucks for six?! Sheesh! I remember when cake donuts were $0.50. #imOld #backInMyDay

If I'd bought a new set of custom dice for each PC I played, I'd have to hire a Storage Locker for them all, and I'd be hiding out from the Loan Sharks!
I took the cheaper way, of checking what dice I already had and basing my next PC on them! -
@petersuber Sometimes I wonder about current training practices. In my first research project I was guided by my mentor to sources in 5 different languages, which I was asked to translate and understand before he would let me move beyond the literature review. #backinmyday #imgettingtoooldforthis

@moh_kohn
Weirdly I was recently playing a platformer video game discovered the description called it a "Rogue-like". I was flabbergasted how someone could think of a platform action shooter as being in any way like Rogue.But @kenoh pointed out that, apparently, among the younger generation, in some circles "Rogue-like" has come to mean games having any obvious aspect that is procedurally generated.

#BackInMyDay you couldn't share your travel photos mere seconds after taking them, you had to get your film developed and then place the photos in a book with clear plastic covers on the pages, which would then be seen by approximately five people ever

@TootOfBob Luxury. #BackInMyDay I would have had to go to the library, come back home, and then tell people about it *in person* at lunch the next day!
