It is possible to learn from online video, but I think its important to follow along by typing in the examples. That's the only way anything has ever "stuck" for me with video. This tends to significantly increase the time sp

I feel like its easier to get hired for a remote job if you've already worked remotely previously. See if you can whip up a few non-trivial projects of your own and build up a small portfolio, if you haven't already. Then the firs

Books can be a pretty lonely way to learn technical material. Videos, much less so but I find it can take a bit longer to grasp video content because you always have to be engaged since it is not easily scannable.

I don't really know what to say because I haven't ever dealt with heroin addiction. But it sounds like you want to turn things even though you know that you are unlikely to change as a person at this point, isn't that enough

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Western society emphasizes individualism?

Good plan. I find the same thing goes for friendships too. The more things friends have endured together, the more likely they are to stick together in the long run.

I think interpersonal relationships is one of the places where it matters most to have expectations and standards. There will be trade-offs, but at the end of the day you need to be able to add to someone's life and vice versa. This wh

Hmm, its possible. I tried installing via NuGet and also the component store when that didn't work, but I'll just give it another shot, thanks!

As an aside, has anyone here created a Xamarin android app using material design? I was recently trying to integrate their component for the design support library, but it seemed horribly buggy.

I get what you're saying. You take a chance on a specific person and then over time your empathy grows and you see them as an extension of yourself. I think relationships that have long-term potential should ideally have this quality.

Maybe we just eventually optimize for what will make us happy across all the various categories (looks, personality, lifestyle etc.) which is "good enough" for lack of a better term.

You likely know yourself a lot better now too, so the people you choose to build relationships with would reflect the qualities you value most. People with more friends can seem to be more happy externally (perpetually busy, always invited

Also, you don't need to go about changing yourself to match someone's arbitrary ideals. If you keep trying to change things about yourself in response to what people say, you'll never be happy and you'll never run out of

I've been thinking about this lately. The common meme is that people who say "I'll be happy when I do $thing" should try to be happy in the moment rather than looking towards their next goal(s). I think we always need mi

"Just enjoying your life" usually sounds a lot like complacency to me when it comes to dating.

Well said, whenever I hear some one say "I don't care about looks" I think they're trying to put themselves above being superficial, but I think a lot of the time its just lip service. Everyone has their own definition o

Agreed, I get a much higher response rate with a quick message than I used to when I would send more ahem in-depth messages. I think it sort of mirrors real-life interactions in that way, generally one doesn't approach someone at a b

Does your friend spend a lot of time alone? As someone who struggles with the same thing, I find that being alone a lot of the time makes me reflect on the past a lot and old wounds tend to fester. Some people are thinkers in that way, and

Point taken, you learn together overtime and discover things. I was more referring to this specific case, where porn and its potential to affect desire/frequency may be an issue. Again, to each his own, they can do what works for them.

I think part of the thing is recognizing patterns of behavior. For example, now that I am 31, I am really getting to know my parents. Things they said when I was 17 all make sense now, because I've seen the patterns again and again in

One of my Indian friends now living in North America recently got married to a girl via an arranged marriage. He claimed that sex wasn't important to him, yet he's a self-proclaimed porn addict. To each his own, but I wonder about
