Sorry for the late answer, and the answer is - I actually do! The difference IMO is that the person who wrote a Rust compiler over the weekend actually worked hard to arrive at such a point in their life, and instead of jealousy I feel a d

The best thing I did for my mental health was my gradual decline from interacting and using social networks. I was scrolling through my IG feed mad and jealous because people there seem to have a lot more going in live than I have, until by

Unrelated to the WFH dilemma, how is Australia generally for IT and tech workers? I've gotten two invitations to emigrate in the past and although I naively refused, as time goes on I am strongly inclined to at least take the offers in

Oh yeah. Extremely narcissistic, controlling, 'better than you' type of person. Used to let me recover for a couple of weeks then stomped me again. That whole experience completely destroyed my daydreaming experience because in my

I'm really, really interested in the way Elon's psyche works. He was touted as an IT gargantuan for so long, but to me (and this is only my opinion) he just seems... fairly... simple-minded. Some of his more brazen actions, such a

I never experienced the level of immersiveness of the author, but I did daydream quite a lot all the way into my early 20s. I would completely ignore my professors during my classes, I would talk with myself when I walked home, I would diss

I feel like the sensational title and the content of the article are completely unrelated. Also the author is somewhat toxic. On the other hand, I was always interested in AI, but this listing really scratched my curiosity. What would be th

I don't know if the charts presented in the link are misleading or not, but I did notice a visible reduction in quality of answers (during a period of 5-6 years) as I can't find relatable questions to issues I'm facing.

I always get surprised when I read OS share information. Could swear more than 3% of (personal) computers in the world run Linux.

The problem is AI generated articles (not short-form marketing content) only rehearse human information (at least for now, since they don't yet have human intuition and understanding), thus creating an infinite pool of same information

I remember reading Ray Kurzweil's book 'The Singularity is Near' (a book with bold predictions about human development and future) and thinking this guy is nuts, we are decades if not centuries away from these predictions. We

Hopefully they also start porting older games - I had to install wine and lots of other packages only to play VTMB and Morrowind on my machine, and I lost an hour at least managing and setting everything up.

I learned German as a kid, but I forgot most of it when I started learning English in elementary. Nowadays, (I'm living in the Balkans) I forgot words of my own language, and I (and most of my friends) mix English and my mother languag

Goodreads is amazing at what it is, which is an IMDB equivalent for books. Yeah, it is neglected, outdated and owned by a shady megacorporation, but I don't see any viable alternatives as of now.

It is so interesting how all the different cultures had different intepretations of the Cosmos, all being mythologically impressive on their own. Probably a result of curiosity and imagination coupled with lots of free time. Still, really a

I had issues with self-confidence and it helped me relax. Sitting alone in a coffee shop felt a lot easier with a smoke, going out with girls I felt easier going with a cigarette in my hand, I and my boys would go out for weekends and destr

I hated on JS a lot when I was writing.NET until I tried it. After some love-hate moments I really respect the genesis of the language and the use in the modern Web Development.

I like how the author specifically distinguishes between long-term memory and long-term understanding. A lot of memory helping resources that I've been checking do sell the false notion of 'you'll remember everything',

This feels like something that I used before or it was influenced by something that I know, but for the life of me I can't point the source/reference. Maybe the familiarity is what makes this so good. Amazing.

I had a colleague who would do exactly this in order to slack at work -> pinging someone and saying 'hello', then some time passes until the person responds, then the enquirer asks a question, then the person responds and it go

I'm not even living in SF, but I can understand the reasons, and they are - who would guessed it, mostly money related. The last couple of months during the quarantine I saved more as double than I did in the two years before that.

I would somewhat agree, I grew up in a third world European country (yeah, we exist) and I realized, compared to a lot of people in Western Countries, people here (older people at least, the younger generation is influenced by the west) are
