Welcome to my world. Exactly the same age and situation. Lead developer at this point at a large software company. The positive side in my case is that I get along extremely well with everyone I work with. But other than that, I can't

The single biggest contributor: vim. Not relying on fancy IDE's with smart autocomplete and all that. You end up learning the internals of a language/library without relying on the IDE to do it for you. It became my weapon of choi

This is incredibly cool!!! Kind of had a similar weekend RTL SDR project in the back of my mind for quite a while but like a lot of things lately, it's been a classic case of kicking the can. I really wish I could dig up some motivatio

Here is my list. * Things work a lot more slowly in big co's. * There's a lot more ego involved so prepare for a lot of ass lickers(I really can't think of a better term). * A lot of "meetings", "discussions&qu

Never worked in a proper start up, but I've given a hand several times. Usually it starts with textbook code. And that lasts around a month, month and a half. After that deadlines start knocking on the door, as well as patches over pat

It kind of depends on the company and the projects at hand. I've been in a similar situation and still am now to a fair degree. Back when we started the projects there were no guidelines or clear rules and definition set: "There a

Genuine question: how would someone define "mental health" or be able to determine if someone is mentally healthy? Even for myself, I really have no clue whether I'm mentally healthy or not.

Yeah, I forgot to add some context: I looked at Arthur Aron's[1] 36 questions as, not just those in the article. Equally applicable for both. [1] https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/open-gently/201310

I scrolled through the questions out of curiosity and for some people I can only see this backfiring catastrophically. Personally I wouldn't be able to not be sarcastic about a number of them. And some I wouldn't be able to answer

Pffff... Beats me to be fair. I consider myself a centrist as far as ideology goes, slightly leaning towards the right. In eastern Europe, the left-wing supporters are largely the elderly. You are very unlikely to find young people supporti

Some of us come from countries which have experienced communism first hand. Been there, done that, no thanks, keep me out of it next time. As a Polish(iirc, I could be wrong) saying goes, "Capitalism is a system on the edge of a tall c

Yeah, aware of those... But... I wouldn't really use most of the countries on your list to set an example for the rest of the world, if you know what I mean...

Iirc, the initiative in Munich was very impressive, with public servants being taught how to file bug reports and whatnot. This is great news imo. Less spending on proprietary software, more accountability, possibly job openings for consult

You are over-simplifying things way too much. Derek Chauvin, along with the officers accompanying him are collectively guilty. In my view, equally guilty. Now, a policeman on the other side of the country who a week ago had no idea that Geo

My point is that it isn't black and white scenario. Make no mistakes, there are policemen who are nothing more than organic waste, I've had encounters with such: I was pulled out of a car by the neck, tossed on the ground by 4 hea

And looking at the images of complete destruction, who do you think is the big winner here? Isn't it Mr. "Make America Great again"? I think that's playing beautifully in his hands and many of the people who had turned a

A mass protest is by all means a form of collectivism. Everyone has the right to protest and everyone has the responsibility to keep it civilized. Collective punishment may be a violation of human right and it should be condemned but what i

Which means everyone is missing the point. It doesn't matter if you personally participated in the riots, theft, and destruction: you are in the crowd of people which is a collective and as such, is treated as a collective. There is no

by axegon_ 6y ago
That is the thing about collectivism though. Imagine one person throwing a bottle from the crowd at the police(something which can be seen in tons of videos). The idea of collectivism implies that the crowd itself is no longer innocent at t

Probably a bit of a controversial opinion but in some cases I can sympathize with the police officers. The reality is that the vast majority of them likely condemn the events around George Floyd's death. They are also regular people wi

As far as the magnesium citrate goes, I don't see any reasons to stop taking it either. There have been cases when I've forgotten to take it for a day or two and I can feel the difference in the morning after a heavier workout. As

Yep, but even with green vegetables, you'll struggle to get anywhere near the daily recommendation, around 400mg per adult. And that might be significantly more if you are active in some sports for muscle recovery. Personally I can fee

Despite my somewhat limited knowledge in biology, my intuition was telling me that the number of patients seems way too small to come to definitive conclusions. Mind you, if Vitamin-D, magnesium and B12 play a role, that's good news fo

That's a 3 million euro question, isn't it. Frankly I have no clue. And even though part of me wishes it did, it's not something anyone can do, even if given the chace. I wouldn't be able to look at someone in the eyes a
