>- Immediately stopped having insomnia. Better feel overall;
It's interesting you mention that. When I took up cycling to work in Manchester, I started struggling to fall fully asleep because I'd have short pseudo-dreams about the POV of cycling on wet, dark, busy roads & jerk awake, scared that I was falling asleep at the handlebars.
>you got cussed out by the high priest of IT because your backups were taking up more than 500KB of drive space.
IT becoming upset when the things people need to do to get work done deviates from their IT model?
Some things never change.
Destroying value and market price are unrelated concepts.
The eternal cognitohazard of discussing crypto online is that you are dealing with deeply invested people without any guarantee that they understand finance in general.
Perhaps you should delete prod so you have to work harder, compete harder, learn faster just to save your job
>we haven’t had to increase the capacity of our electric grid in decades
Who's we? In China, generation has doubled in a decade. What a sad time to be alive if even existential failure isn't a strong enough motivator to get a developed country to pay for some infrastructure.
Vietnam's transport stats are skewed by insane import and luxury taxes.
>They could have cherry picked other sample posts to demonstrate the exact opposite.
They couldn't, because it's 'the algorithm' that does the picking & Facebook's algorithm optimises for inauthentic or boomer. Cherry-picking posts isn't a standard usecase.
The word 'racist' didn't appear until your post. It's a shame we can't discuss obvious language bias without you becoming defensive about imagined sleights.
>Some people automate this: they have a process that runs every few minutes and commits the current working tree to a special branch that they look at only in case of disaster.
This sounds nice. Does anyone have a concrete example?
I'd like to try with a cronjob but it would be useful to avoid having to create the job manually for each repo & I don't want a job repeatedly scanning all my disks. Is there anything like a global post-clone hook? Additionally, I'd be worried about race-conditions from saving work during the job.
Not including the racist discrimination example, I'm not sure that this is a bad problem. I believe there is a tendency for us to leave the schooling system and start viewing interviews as though they were our new exams, where failure is your own fault. I argue that interviews are the starting point of a new relationship, so the closest analogy is actually a date. If you're on a date and express your values and the other person rejects you for it, it simply means you don't make a good relationship - even if it's just because the other person has unfair demands.
So don't project programming ideals you don't believe in. If they can't reconcile different opinions, it's their problem. You won't have the conviction or experience to do it convincingly anyway.
Drivers are the wild-west
You're describing something that happens regularly. Especially in music.
If you accidentally recite someone else's work, it's still plagiarism.
You're rarely going to find good basics in cheap shops because they have to differentiate on 'design'. The same goes for t-shirts, if you want a plain t-shirt you first have to avoid anywhere with surplus graphics, pockets, buttons, whatever.
If you look further you can find high-quality denim and t-shirts in a variety of cuts. Even bespoke. But they differentiate on quality and things that matter to enthusiasts, so a brain poisoned by mass-produced fast-fashion will wince.
The only one making money here is github. Very few programmers are selling open source code. And programmers are (in)famous for not buying software.
I'm not sure the qualifier 'in gaming' is necessary. Lots of us spend a our free time doing gardening, DIY, walking or cooking for entertainment.
>let's find a way to build/experiment LHC++ less expensively.
From the people who brought you compost fueled cars?
Which is why non-localised US media can be so successful in other countries, even places where English isn't the first language.
That turns the incentive away from creating shareholder value and towards hazing and navel gazing.
There's also the issue of conflating the incentive/reward schemes with the need for roles to be performed. Being good at inverting binary trees won't make you a good manager but when the manager role carries money and prestige then it's the hammer you use to reward the shape rotators.
If it was about masculinity itself being irredeemable, the adjective wouldn't be there. Surely a website of programming enthusiasts can figure out parsing?
But how many films are essentially just Hamlet or The Taming of the Shrew?
IP isn't free & ad spend doesn't scale with quality.
It seems like a disproportionate amount of ad spend is protection money to avoid the Don't Be Evil mob from selling your trademark to your competitors. A search for Total Car Check should not return competitors above the website itself.
Yes because in 2022 Android is still a sluggy slow hellscape
So if you become content with your money and then find you have medical or retirement bills that your contentment failed to plan for, what happens next? Do you choose to be happy about foreclosure? Money is the thing that frees up your time and mental bandwidth for what matters.
It takes a phenomenal amount of exercise to be equal to reducing food intake. Reducing cardio to a weight loss method means that people who are unfit but not overweight or strong but relatively sedentary think that they don't need to do it for their health. Then they die of heart disease.
In my view, failing to experience training your body and seeing yourself improve is analogous to never finding love, never enjoying art, never enjoying learning. It's a part of the human experience we've evolved dedicated pathways to make us enjoy and opting out of that is a crying shame.
