I just graduated from college and I was one of those kids who started smoking both cigarettes and pot in 6th grade because I hung out with older kids that I wanted to be like. I quit cigarettes my freshman year of college and rarely smoke p

I've never programmed with Unreal before, but I'm just curious: What method does one use to wade through such a large list of changes? Do you look for something specific, or read the whole thing, or just assume the changes will bl

Yeah I have a similar attitude as you. Death itself does not really scare me. I often use the analogy, "It is like before you were born". It just doesn't exist or concern you after you die. What does scare me a bit is the ide

I was hoping this article was going to highlight the emotional issues with responding instantly as opposed to the "lack of time" issue. I don't respond to most texts instantly, not because I'm driving or busy with my lif

I mean we barely try to combat climate change, which is actually happening in front of our faces. To expect the government to direct knowledge or funds towards something that may happen just seems... extremely unlikely at best. And hone

Yeah, you certainly don't have to feel bad for the victims, but we should all question whether the hackers are producing an overall net positive effect.

I can never imagine having as much knowledge of any programming language as Casey does. After only programming for a year now, it blows my mind that anyone can know and explain programming as well he does.

I wouldn't say chasing the "latest and greatest" is always the case when trying the new fads. A lot of times it comes down to 'you don't know what you don't know'. I was doing fine using regular old CSS, a

That's worse than click-bait. If you want me to use a product, don't deceive me with a more interesting-sounding product.

I don't think that's the parent comment's main argument for hypocrisy. > how do you make a case that it's unethical for dragnet traffic looking for people who want to blow up civilians with homemade bombs? Many of the

yeah, but this argument quickly becomes a slippery slope. If you start questioning whether or not they should have released their private information in the first place, then you can just as easily start questioning whether the countries sh

I wouldn't say so. I send my friends money I owe them through Venmo. I make most of my online purchases through PayPal. There's rarely a time where I can substitute one for the other. Although, I don't know the details of the

Yeah I can completely relate to this and have attributed it to being introverted as well. I am extremely social when I do attend social events, often being the most talkative if it's a group of 4 or less, but need to recharge alone the

It may not provide the same type of discussion you are hoping for, but I find Reddit to be a pretty decent source for that kind of coverage.

You could have walked around Wall St. in 2008-2012 and thought a recession never happened. You're not going to see 40 million people with rain catchers outside their homes if that's what you are expecting. The effects are much mor

I wasn't intentionally equating all of those scenarios. The only relation that they have is that they are hidden from society and illegal. The point I was trying to make is that if large operations like this are taking place behind the

Every time an event like this happens, or kidnapped victims are revealed being hidden in a house for the past 15 years, or a previously unknown serial-killer is finally caught, it makes me wonder how many of these events are still carrying

I know it can be pointless to compare circumstances. You can always find someone worse in your situation. I just read the (currently highest ranked) article about the failed Woolfe game, and reflected on how bad it must suck to put your hea

Yeah, to imply that the leaders of a massively successful company didn't think to look into naming issues is extremely naive or grasping for news straws at best.

by DarkTree 11y ago
If it weren't for that stress, I wouldn't be a programmer. It is that variability, and challenge that keeps me coming back and satiates my desire to problem solve. But I understand, in the moment, it is hard to step back and see p

It seems like many personal activities, such as meditation, exercising, cooking, and reading, share similar benefits. They all claim to improve your life and mental happiness and it makes me wonder if those benefits don't stem from the

It's really just the other side of the coin. I'm sure the truth is somewhere grounded a little towards the middle.

ha yeah that was definitely an exaggeration. I don't think many people need a complex environment, it's more about personal preference. If I can do a one-time setup that saves me time on all of my future projects, rather than ta
