Yes, this is exactly what I'm getting at. In theory, those two are not mutually exclusive, but in practice they very much are due to personal preferences and that will shape what you become good at. Of course, there are definitely peop

I get were you are coming from. Focusing on comm skills is a big branch of a decision tree in terms future paths because it opens up possibility of joining the managerial class (CEO/CTO being potential options). What convinced me again

>A bit of a cynical take (on Hacker News no less) but after being in the industry for a while, my view is that the best definition of “level” is self-referential: it corresponds to the ability of a person to convince others that they are

Tried Arc and didn't like it. It's main selling point is the workspaces. However, I'm not the type of person to have 200 tabs open at once, so it wasn't as useful for me as I thought it would be. It's def a nice loo

Yeah, I can see this being something to splurge on once in a while. It's nice to trade dollars for convenience. OTHO, everything you've mentioned can still be closely replicated at home, just start your movie after food gets deliv

It's not that it wouldn't be applied to the whole codebase, it's that it wouldn't be applied to the whole codebase __at once__. You have to start somewhere and new features are a good place to start new patterns. Older c

Agreed with everything except the following: >Remember, consistency in your codebase is key. If you need to introduce a new pattern, consider refactoring the entire codebase to use this new pattern, rather than creating one-off inconsist

I've seen a movie about this recently.

This is 100% true in the US because nearly everything is commercialized and built to create profit for someone. Third spaces resolves this, but there aren't many of those around if you exclude local parks.

Does this resonate with you "I feel more alone around others than being by myself"? Loneliness != being alone

lol, this so true and it keeps from visiting certain places. You just know it's going to be either circling around for 20 minutes or more trying to find parking, or parking really far away and then having to carry everything to the bea

It's not even just about the cost though. I understand there's inflation and I like to help out the mom/pop restaurants survive. I'm willing to pay extra as long at the food is good, but what I notice (at some places) th

Not to mention most people are going to shell out $$$ for a nice large TV. At that point, might as well spend a few extra $$ and buy a surround sound. Maybe it's just me, but a lot of theaters set their volumes to LOUD. I've found

You certainly can't snitch, we saw what happened with that one guy who tried it.

Just looked up ACA. For 45K income per year for house of 4, Silver plan ~400 - ~800 a month. How are you paying $3500/month? COBRA?

That may be true, but none of that information is in the article. It's just fear mongering click-bait.

Vesting period is generally 4 years, so while you're right, 4 years is a very short period of time to wear the cuffs.

Ah, the type of person to starve because their plate of food doesn't include caviar.

I've stopped ignoring stuff like this because it's overly sensational. I don't care about how many people have debt, the fact that 50% of people have it only speaks to how popular these products are. What's really import

Golden handcuffs only happen because of lifestyle inflation that prevents you from building F U money. $2.5M is more than enough to retire on.

I'm stuck in place because getting a new job is really hard, or so I hear.

Drizzle looks too syntax heavy. Might has well write raw sql. However, this Rado looks very nice.

As you alluded to, it's also easy to forgo chasing these skills when we can make decent money just solving puzzles while only requiring the most basic of emotional intelligence.

This is funny because I generally have something similar for extraverts. I agree with your take that extraverts don't understand introverts and it's because our true skills lie way beyond a shallow five minute conversation.

Maybe tempting children with marshmallows is a bad proxy for testing delayed gratification, but the thesis about being able to delay gratification leading to success seems to be true as far as I can tell. Anecdotally, all the people I know

As someone unfamiliar with Nix, how is this better than Homebrew?

It only does local content via Kodi. The device supports HDR and other good stuff that's not provided by any other box running Kodi.

"Mr. Smith came up with another idea: Roll the I.R.A. over to a different institution. That worked. Mr. Heitin now had $834,000 in the new I.R.A., which he emptied in under two weeks, with no questions asked by the new provider, and mo
