I was a staunch Stoic, and a hollow disassociative mess is exactly what I became. Think of the end goal of the Stoic and what it takes to achieve it. At every misfortune, you rationalize and deny your natural emotions. If you do it well, yo

It really depends on the project no. For a lot of stuff, one guy who knows what he is doing is worth infinitely more than any number of engineers, because this job is mostly about knowledge, not labor hours. Even in a regular enterprise web

Bit unrelated but is there anything that can help with really low resolution text? My neighbor got hit and run the other day for example, and I've been trying every tool I can to make out some of the letters/numbers on the plate

I think you can certainly learn a lot by being curious and fishing out anything that smells, yeah. But agreed that youll find more mistakes, if your manager also happens to be the best IC on the team.

I think "coding" is commonly understood as writing code, not reading code, you know like if I say "I coded google jamboard", someone thinks I developed it, not read the source code. But besides, why do you need to extens

But you are a part of it. You are the manager of the codebase, you should actively be part of the discussions of what's being merged in, what your architecture looks like, what changes are required to complete a new project, what issue

I didn't say you should be judging performance solely on daily syncs, but you have a myriad of ways of doing that as a manager including simply looking at the big-picture content of PRs, what issues a dev identified and solved, what de

Or just tell them all to regularly communicate/listen to their team? Sounds way more efficient.

by andoando 2y ago
I don't see why you need to be writing code to understand all of this. It can help, but almost everything you said is ascertained from daily syncs

It does but it also generalizes extremely well

My point is giving people any explanation for their problems - so long as its backed by authority helps them - it says nothing to the truthfulness of those explanations. Anyway youre being really dismissive too instead of just responding to

Is this like the sophisticated version of negging? I think itd have been easier to just give me few worss to look into. I bought into the whole "I have Adhd thing thats why Im failing at school" thing 13 years ago and have since t

I heard of this. My immediate criticism, is that even those with diagnosed ADHD aren't just deficient in focus/attention and impulsive in all aspects of their lives. They can drive a car, play video games, read subjects they are i

Yeah I got a prescription. IMO, these are pill farms. Everyone talks about how the medical industry is so driven by money, but somehow when it comes to mental health, people seem to shrug off the fact that everyone from the pharma companies

The diagnostic criteria is entirely subjective. "Often loses thigns", "Often doesn't pay attention" isn't exactly objective. How do we even know what "often" is? But more than that what is the conditi

by andoando 2y ago
I question even calling it an "over" diagnosis, when its not even clear that the diagnosis has any non-socially constructed objective metrics by which we can call that diagnosis accurate.

What you seem to be saying is that the machinary your traditional computer program executes on is capable of executing intelligence. What I said is thst a traditional computer program (say Excel) is not intelligent in itself, as it cannot,

I am confused, a spreadsheet running the code for what a neural network does, sure. But a traditional computer program isn't just excel.

by andoando 2y ago
I wouldn't say that's true at all for traditional computer programs. They're doing explicitly what they are designed to do, there is no adaptation/learning.

Starting with 3D model is a great idea, as you can easily rotate it and get all the different angles of the same object Can pretty much create scene in Unity with a 3D model and do animations there as well.

I think its more subtle. Whoever is organizing is setting the tone/nature of the meetings. For example, there is a chess club I wanted to participate in, but the organizer always picks some loud bar, which just isnt my idea of a chess

Community leaders I feel like leads to having meetups conform to one personality. Ideally, users need an actual reason to meet.
