My children (3,5,8) and I absolutely love this show. We’ve been watching one new episode every 1-2 weeks and they’re perfectly happy with rewatching. My eldest is able to understand most of it so we’ll rewatch again in…
Thanks for sharing this. After nearly a decade of being "full stack", I've only now been diving more and more into UI and have barely touched the surface of UX. Slightly off-topic, but are there any resources for common…
Ugh. subheadings were a major turn off. I expected it to be an analysis of AI-generated writing styles. Not full of them. ;)
Professionally, I've always been in camp #2. The quality of your code at least partially represents you in the eyes of your peers. I imagine this is rapidly changing, but the fact will always remain that readable code…
My "fun fact" that I always tell is that I got my start by reading the manual of my TI-83+ I spent most of my 9th grade making a stick figure clone of Street Fighter, using TI-BASIC and graphing functions. Eventually I…
Shout out to ClackerNews[0], which I discovered last night and find it both very educational and amusing I hope to see more bots on there (and not here) [0] https://clackernews.com/
I was reading halfway thru and one line struck a nerve with me: > But today, frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons. So not today, but the door is open for this after AI…
> When 404 wrote the prompt, “I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum,” So many underlying problems from this one line (why...), but Grok's lack of guardrails on this NSFW prompt is not…
Is there an iCloud Photos uploader? I have a script to scan files from my camera and add a compressed copy to a folder. This folder was supposed to work with the iCloud for windows (10) program, but one day it just…
In 2019 I left my cushy job because I wanted $$$ but couldn't push myself to leetcode. I spent much of that year on personal projects and family before I could seriously commit myself. Then covid happened. It took 2.5yr…
A) How can I find a proper optician? B) how do you determine whether or not you’re satisfied? Throughout 30 years of wearing glasses, I’ve questioned many times whether the glasses are right for me. I may resist for a…
I had a similar situation at my previous company. After rewriting a web app for another team, I started E2E testing and questioned the entire app’s existence and whether the business process could be automated. After…
I too once scoffed at grinding leetcode. I’d rather work on side projects or blog instead. But after 5 years of failing to get a job offer, I finally caved. Putting in the effort to deeply understand DS/algos and grind…
I’ve been journaling for 6 years and I was diagnosed a year ago (which I reflect on sometimes). I used to have multi-month gaps but am more consistent now despite having more responsibilities. My secrets: Set a time and…
I am in the minority here but I also love TikTok for the same reason. I trained it to deliver content that aligns with my interests. In order to do this, I had to consciously use it, being aware of (how I think) the…
I will take a stab at this since I am transitioning away from this mindset myself. Find your highest priority item, break it down, and work on each task, one at a time. If it’s not critical, let go of control and be…
Hopefully a move like this will help with their declining birthrate problem
As an only child, I used to spend my summers playing board games by myself. It started with monopoly (which my babysitter introduced me to) and carried over to chess and beyond. For many of the games, I ended up…
I was in your situation a few years ago. I “found my way out” when I created a project that I really cared about. It scratched multiple itches and I was constantly finding new ways to improve the application. It got the…
On one hand, I see this as great way to encourage curiosity. A child can ask a simple question "why does it rain?" and get back an immediate response. No more clicking through links to try and find a simple explanation,…
I was introduced to F# 3 years ago at work, and have been developing with it for more than 2 of those years (in production, some apps mixed with C#, others pure F#) My quick thoughts: Beautiful language. There's quite a…
Your "problem" sounds different the one I currently deal with. My current solution is to have a backlog and spending time to prioritize them. I'd focus on my top priority, and continue writing down new ideas as they…
I agree -- Being curious is a great way to improve yourself. Can you please recommend to me blogs on architecture and design patterns?
It sounds like you tried to do everything yourself online. The biggest benefit (IMO) of Chase Sapphire cards is that someone picks up the phone as soon as you call (in most cases). I always start my price/return…
Sorry for the late response. I work in the utility industry writing internal web applications. Before I started, my former lead convinced our manager (who is generally hands-off) to let him work in F#
