Yeah, maybe if you find the drive to care about your wife and children. But that's a big maybe. Especially for a person that does not care about themselves.

How can a marriage and having kids move you out of depression? How can you be a good partner and a good parent if you can't even find the drive to live? Feels like one could get into even more difficulties when relationships and parent

Or, another hypothesis, your immune system is busy dealing with the vaccine and just ignores the omicron virus in your noes and this stops the spread?

Hooks are great! Although, when I see code snippets on the internet I always wonder how do people test this. The fact that dependencies are declared as imports and all the logic is inside the component function, it feels like you have to sh

I always thought of Python as being a massive language. If it was simple, it should be easy to compile and optimize. I mean, I would feel like an idiot when someone would point out a feature that makes Python code faster. Python classes are

This is the case for other parts of the workforce. I admire those in service that really work their ass off (drivers, cleaners, cooks, etc.) From my work experience, about 90-95% of people do barely any work (have tasks that take months). I

Whenever I see toxicity, I always assume it's a young individual. I remember myself in teens, always up for some trolling on forums. Today, I just don't have a need to do such things. Whenever I encounter this weird behavior, I ju

There are belief systems that promote making children (Amish, Islam, etc.). Populations that practice these systems will eventually take over.

This boils down to the basic problem of a ruleset. It's nice when everyone abides by the same ruleset. But there will always be individuals that will behave outside of it. Like, we can all play capitalism and try to outcompete each oth

It's been this way for decades. IMO it's the main source of antibiotic resistant bacteria. You have billions of chickens being raised every year, each a Petri dish ready for evolution of resistance. You have at least 10 billion fr

The only place where I really met high expectation is in finance. The amount of ten-seconds-for-the-answer-or-we-stop-the-interview questions was enormous. Last 5 places I interviewed, 2 didn't ask LC at all, and I still failed at 4. A

I quit my great first job because I wanted to move to a new country. My plan was to not work at all (my partner would support me). Then the lockdown started. I realized it might not be a good time to not work, so I applied to a bunch of rem

This attitude is nice, but unfortunately in most cases it does not apply. Many people have different sensibilities and tastes. Those that become great alone are extremely talented, gifted and innately know what to filter and how to improve.

I don't find it powerful at all. Very hard to map through structures in templates. Much easier to write templates in a real language. Most of the time I need to map data to something else suitable for rendering. That mapping goes from

Sounds a lot like annealing.

I'm just completely astonished by the level of incompetence. I really can't imagine how human powered moon landing occurred and if it can occur under current leadership again. I don't really understand what happened in the la

Nothing of the sort of "rationality" exists in the history of early humans or their ancestors. I'm not even sure what is this rationality that you're talking about. Because the main narrative of early humans evolves thro

With JS, you can easily mock a whole module implementation so to use DI so that you can mock the injected entities during testing feels unnecessary.

Well, similarly, you might not need that singleton instance if you just import it where needed. Maybe then it's enough to just pass the data from the singleton instance to all the things that need the data. I think dependency injection

Then you have private schools charging more for a straight A education that is guaranteed and suck the cash.

If humans can modify the animals in the environment this fast, I see no reason why we just cannot assume that most of the living wild animals are already a result of humans doing the selection. I was always quite confused by the fact that m

Hungarian and Croatian are very different. There's only a few things that might match (like vegetable/fruit names) but verbs and nouns are very different. The words that I was surprised by were with proper declension (taking gende

I was reading some reviews on Google of rave clubs in Budapest and Google translated them from Hungarian to Croatian. The translations were quite funny and bad but I noticed a bunch of new Croatian words that do not exist in any dictionary.

Highly doubt it. It's the nature of monopolies that do not have an army (real guns and blood). There are employees that will create pressure out of nothing and will ruin the cushy possibilities just out of their own boredom and misery

Sounds like a job in a bank. Or any other monopolistic entity.

I usually can barely browse the internet using VPN through OVS, Digital Ocean, Scaleway and others. All websites assume my traffic is not from a person but from an automated server.

Yeah, handling 100k paths on CPU means the problem is in the PDF reader, not the PDF. Although I must admit that calculating 100000 paths and getting polylines still shouldn't take very long. Why wouldn't you be able to send an ar

I'd say this is a problem with the PDF reader, not the paper. Why is PDF reader having trouble displaying 30MB of data? It's even better than a 30MB of images, because images have to be decoded but vector graphics is just bytes at

Does rust have Mut annotations on functions? I mean, when you look at a problem that monads solve with types is that every function has an “annotation “ of what it uses (IO or mutable state). Similar how async in JS allows await, a state a
