Every single discussion around UI is now laden with "this isn't 100% optimized for user interaction" like there's some rulebook dictating exactly what you have to do for your website to be useable. There's benefits to…
I see what you're getting at, but I'd disagree. I think accepting who you are also comes with commitment to pursue the things you're interested in, because non-acceptance would be "ignoring this part of me I wanted to…
Nah, you definitely don't get it. Some people are here enjoying the act of programming, and Cursor Tab is acting like an improvement on IntelliSense/autocomplete that actually knows what it's doing. Not all of us want…
Even with frameworks, I don't see any joy in making something that just looks and feels the same as any other site. I understand it from a business point of view, but if you're trying to just showcase yourself or your…
Every person I've spoken to who's told me they're interested in crypto literally only care about it to make money, and have no interest in learning how it works. They all treat every last crypto-based use as investment…
Setting times is fine, but my approach is I have a list of 4-5 things to do written the night before, and knowing how much time I have in the morning, midday and afternoon as well as the energy I still have left at…
“Get rid of your to-do list and instead choose one year goal, then break it down into monthly goals, then weekly goals, then daily goals” And what do you call that list you just wrote down, exactly?
Programming books are generally technical documentation, or close enough - of course they're boring to read. There's so much detail to programming you could spend the rest of your life reading documentation and feel…
I'd argue that's the worst kind of best practice, because in order to get an entire team to work on it they now have no reason other than "their manager said so". It's one thing to skim over what you know your project…
Used to have to argue with my dev team manager about this, he was a big fan of reading about some new-ish concept that we weren't using yet and then trying to tell the team he needs to spend a couple weeks changing…
If he knew one of their suspects names and decided to fuck with them and throw them off the trail, yes, he would use someone else's name. Your leap to judgement of "it must be Gary" is just as much of a leap as "it…
I could have sworn there was something I read when I was young that way more than that goes extinct every year. Is it really that big a problem? Extinction happens all the time, even before humans came around. It's just…
Oh, and a mention on 'saying no' - it's very hard to convince an employer to start saying no to customer demands even when they agree with all the reasons set out in front of them, especially when they've had a decade…
There's a balance needed with smaller companies. I, for a long time, chose not to care about the company's goals and just hit the daily tasks, and for a while it worked and I did very well. But eventually the management…
Could have sworn I'd seen interviews/articles before about how this person doesn't care and uses it to brag to his friends.
>Back in the 90s it was virus checking (Do you trust the AV company? What if they were bribed by the content companies?), full device indexing and search (Do you trust the OS vendor? What if they're in league with the…
Yeah I think their analogies are a bit mixed, but the general idea of ‘learned reaction’ is still there, even if the examples the author used didn’t mesh well together.
I think the article is describing resistance not just in terms of ‘difficult’ creative processes but any excuse you could make for any action that would likely benefit you. Hence that line is more for people who resist…
I think you may be getting too bogged down in the details of the example. It was a purposefully simplified example to show how to calculate the IMS score for different setups.
Anger is a gut reaction, learned over time when you're young and likely to persist in muscle memory for a long time. The way to get around it is the same as any other habit - mindful practice of your reactions. Let…
I don’t say that waking up early ‘’creates energy out of nothing’’, I’m saying you wake up with a certain amount of energy to spend and it depletes over the day, so it makes sense that the earlier hours (or at least not…
> Civilizations worth nuking will always have a way to understand each other Again, we cannot talk to dolphins. Closest we’ve got is teaching monkeys sign language - and to be fair, that’s pretty good, but we’re also…
> "Chains of Suspicion" assumes civilizations cannot communicate, yet the dark forest hypothesis assume civilizations can destroy each other > If you can physically interact, you can communicate I think you…
If you have no energy at the end of the day, the answer is to find time in the morning. Get up earlier, go to bed earlier. If you find your time in the afternoon isn't productive but you find it fulfilling to be around…
If I ever got something beneficial out of meditation, it was that feelings and thoughts come and go and do not have to necessarily be listened to. I didn't realise this until I was in my early 20s, and looking back,…
