   Practice focus with gradually increasing duration. Eliminate distractions through willpower (or configuration if you must). Deliberate, spaced, repetition of focus duration. There are no quick fixes.

   It’s a bad thing - whenever you cannot make a choice you become a slave to tyranny. Infra lock-in means you’re a slave to their whims (financial, legal, competitivenes, whatever) This is justified by “less maintenance, and easier deployment

   And what about us who are night owls and are non-functional until about 12 / 1-2PM, the current system filters out all of us. The solution was literally “come in any time you want as long as your projects get done” - what’s your obje

   Ideas are a dime a dozen. Of that enormous set of potential is a much smaller set that satisfies the criteria: - Is small enough to be done in spare time by a single developer - Is not so complex it can be automated to run mostly by itself

    This is not a troll response, I'm really curious to see if there's something better, because I want the best that money can buy - - 16 Inch Screen - 8 Core i9 (16 Threads) - 4TB SSD Storage - Screen resolution is 4096x2560 @ 60Hz

    You can appreciate the engineering and craft of a product while not agreeing with the policy decisions of the company that created it. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. You can symbolically decide to boycott the company and not u

    What an ego! “If I have no use for it then it is useless” - or is it just a lack of imagination on your part? Graphics designers, product advertisement creators, eBay sellers, interior designers, asset monitors, I can think of many people w

    I think we should setup the conditions for miracles so they are more likely to occur. Just like the Battersea power station was once the beating heart of London - delivering energy to industry and the people the UK government should build a

    Power(ful tools) can be wielded for good or evil, the courageous thing to do is to learn it AND act ethically, not shy away from it. Otherwise the spoils of war go to the unethical evil because they are now unchallenged.

    Isn't it easier just to run an emulator? I grew up with an Amiga 500, and had hundreds of floppy disks, but it's slow, error prone, noisy, cant freeze arbitrary state or fast forward ... I find the emulator is better in every way

    I agree 100% - the use of the word “selling” here makes me very uncomfortable - they are employees and they are not company property that is owned. The “finders fee” response from Apple was the best they could expect. And yeah then I read a

    While there is a certain amount of personal responsibility in the field, often component-wise construction limits the visibility of the systems ethics as a whole, and the higher level unethical strategy is not decided by an implementer

    Just. Turn. It. Off. The author makes a bunch of dumb, easily fixable decisions and then writes a blog post whining about them. It’s so tiresome.

    > We would not experience time if there was no motion > whereas time is an emergent property not of spatial dimensions alone, but motion in that space. Is that proven true generally? I have often really wondered this myself, but Ive n

    If either of those conditions is satisfied then imo it's time to go. Who wants to work for an irrational manager? (actual lol)

    Take a break, you must . I know it always feels like you can’t, but you can’t keep working, you will snap. Programmers are hard to replace, it hard to find a good one, and it takes time to ramp up a new one with a codebase. You have more n

    Adding another dimension to an n dimensional array -- [0,0,0] becoming [0,0,0,0], the extra zero is another dimension. It doesn't matter what the numbers represent, x,y,z + time, or whatever - so we can describe the position of a parti
