I'd argue that golang is inherently not a systems language, with its mandatory GC managed memory. I think it's a poor choice for anything performance or memory sensitive, especially a database. I know people would disagree (hence

Exactly my feeling. I love working in the office, but I hate any kind of commute. Commuting in London is particularly atrocious, but I guess it could be worse (any US city apart from NYC).

Therapy is what helped me the most long term, and I think is the only really solution for true anxiety. It requires finding the right therapist though - I went through a few before I found someone. I put this off for so long because of the

I agree with others that social awkwardness is something that just lessens over time. I mean, you may still be awkward, but so is almost everyone else, and you realize that no one actually cares about your awkwardness. Actually, almost ever

I literally just spent an hour trying to cancel my internet service, 90% of this time was spent interacting with an automated whatsapp bot (Virgin Media for anyone wondering). Answering the same question, slightly rephrased, multiple times

I think you're being too optimistic. Collapse of student loan debt most certainly won't bring down tuition. What will happen is the government/taxpayer will shoulder it and everyone's quality of life will decrease overal

Took me a while to realize you are actually being serious. Those systems are terrible examples - just look at the state of those countries themselves. That kind of highly standardized, high pressure exam school culture drives all the creati

I have gone full circle, and back to managed wordpress. I barely have enough time to just create content. I don't want to waste that time managing my blog deployment.

I try to get involved and be seen and make connections. If you’re working in the office, that means grabbing lunch with your coworkers, maybe getting drinks after work - socialising basically. Things become much easier when you get over tha

I've been introducing https://ejoffe.github.io/spr/ at work and am pretty happy with it. It makes the process of managing stacked PRs really smooth. With that tool, I usually just create a local branch and run git

This happened in the first company I worked for. It was a big, well known engineering company, and when things started going south they had to negotiate with the state labor department to do large layoffs, which required giving financial cu

Oh this is awesome! I hope the rest of the world follows suit. My kids are basically sleep deprived for a week solid every year the clocks change.

Exactly. Getting the exact local dev environment as CI with so few lines of code is awesome and I don't think any other tool can do this.

Is that really memorization? Memorizing multiplication tables is one thing. Practicing the techniques over and over isn't memorization imo. In grad level maths, you are solving proofs pretty much, you can't just memorize facts in

I get what you're saying but I also disagree with it as a generalization, and say it would depend on the subject. For theoretical subjects, an exam is about the only way to test your understanding. Memorization is not going to help you

I feel like the majority of celebrity tech companies are like this. They attract a certain kind of person who gets easily bored and needs interesting things to work on to stick around. There is also internal pressure to justify promotions b

Even at 1850 calories (a deficit which should result in about 1 pound loss a week for me), I find myself getting really hungry all the time. My body knows it's starving itself, and tells me to eat. This makes it hard to stick with calo

This is my current approach as well. Took me a good 3 weeks for my digestion to adjust though to liquid meals 2x a day so be prepared for that. I've managed to lose around 5lbs the last month so seems to be working. I tried fasting but

Sure - I'm using Gnome 40/Xorg, latest 5.10 kernel (on Nixos 21.11), nvidia 3080, LG CX48 4k/120hz screen with a certified ultra high speed HDMI cable.

Yep it works on Xorg, with full 4:4:4 chroma. However, the nvidia driver seems to lock my refresh rate to 119.88 because I'm using an OLED TV.

Except, annoyingly, HDMI 2.1 doesn't work on Linux. So, I'm still using an Nvidia card on a mostly Linux desktop. But I wish I didn't - the Linux Nvidia drivers are absolutely horrible.

I can definitely relate with this. Grew up hacking IBM PCs in the 90s, got heavily involved in BBSs as a young kid, even wrote letters to random software developers (remember scorched earth?). I really dislike the modern tech industry. I th

Yup, when I want to search anything I use a combination of reddit, HN, and Discord. My main use of Google these days is to find a website I forget the name of but roughly know what it's called. In the olden days, I used bookmark aggreg

Do you really trust CR? In the UK we have which.co.uk, which is similar and you have to subscribe to it. But I'm fairly sure they are shilling for some of their product categories after having subscribed a few times. Like, the mattress

Starmer was having some drinks after a long day with his coworkers in the office - all was completely above board and vetted by the met police. This was a story thrown out by conservative outlets in a desperate attempt to distract from the

In my experience, the NHS will only diagnose severe cases of ADHD in children. Everything else is a struggle, like most mental health services on the NHS unfortunately. I think the best option is to get a private diagnosis - I am considerin
