Idk, I don't think these things are so linear. I'm not sure what exactly is a "mediocre office job", but normal jobs require a different set of skills and priorities. Athletics benefit from a very singular focus, it&#x27

Why is your experience, which you are clearly already primed to perceive in the matter that fits your preconceived conclusions, worth anything?

I have observed similar things and so far the relationship continues to bewilder me. At times I return with a better ability for something I haven't touched in years, while when I was actively training it, improvement was slow. Perhaps

That seems like a good way to keep the world the way it is, and not how we'd like it to be. Thankfully, not everyone thinks as you do.

So many developers here downright scared to mentor others. The problem with the current job market on full display.

Who, then, understands his philosophy of life? I've tried looking up various interpretations and they all seem to range from "gross" to "really gross", and are just rehashings of might makes right, which is the leas

Being hard to understand is not a virtue, and maybe it's overthinking to claim that someone saying "The great majority of men have no right to existence" somehow means something other than what that sentence quite plainly imp

I think his technical contributions are much more relevant here than the dogma, which, as I said, seems to be scaring people away to this day.

by projektir 8y ago
The point is that the presumed benefits of said dogma just don't seem to be there. Mostly these things concentrate around people for whom the sacrifice is relatively small and scare off everyone else with the holier than thou attitude.

Often increasing anxiety is very much the appropriate response to one's experiences, but still not a useful one.

What I do for myself is I have a hard computer logoff time (11 PM), but I can work with paper / read books, so I work on the paper planner after that.

Not sold. Motorcycles are inherently unsafe because they are extremely unprotected - there is very little you can really do against a driver making a mistake. And the reason most people riding them are risk takers is because everyone else h

Interesting... I seem to follow the spoon model (if I schedule too many things, _bad_ things happen) but I don't have any genetic diseases, so not sure what to make of that.

The average emergency fund can be wiped out quickly by a bad bout of illness.

I'd like to know what this means on a practical level. Say you had depression and/or anxiety. What does that mean? Are there tests you should run? Is there any point telling your doctor about it?

I disagree. Bending over backwards to strange expectations and requirements is a race to the bottom.

Crash Bandicoot is one of the very few platformers that I can actually stand (got to 103% completion). It's just so very well designed to avoid annoying the player while retaining difficulty.

This would make me damn uncomfortable and stressed out once I started the job, and I'd likely take any other offer over this.
