Nah. It doesn’t say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don’t let your plan get in the way of responding to change.

I’m sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It’s not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don’t pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.

Thank you for reminding me of this game. I think it is Microsoft ants

About 90 min according to my settings screen time. Looks like it divides into ~10 sessions throughout the day, each lasting 1-15 min.

Don’t overthink it

I have 2 monitors. My primary is ultra wide for gaming and the secondary is discord, Spotify, etc. so I can view messages and stuff without leaving my full screen game.

For work? I just use my Mac monitor like a neanderthal. Idk why but I don’t really find multiple monitors helps me work faster.

Reassignment isn’t the same as mutation. But mutation depends on the type of value. If gender was a string like “female” it wouldn’t be mutable cuz strings are immutable in JS.

I don’t mean to be a dick, but blasting your prior workplace on social media is not really something you should lean into.

You’re the only one who really cares about your position there. Even your good friends don’t give a shit. A job is a job. I don’t care where my friends work and they don’t care where I work.

If you want to be honest about why you’re leaving, go for it. But don’t go posting on SM how it was such a bad place. That just seems immature tbh. Again, nobody cares about this job like you do. Don’t make social media your diary.

Unless it was recently made free, no.

Unless you have something specific you want, I’d advise not to spend money just for the sake of it, even for perceived savings from deals. That’s part of the trick with Black Friday deals - marking things down to get people to buy things they wouldn’t even think to get in the first place.

I’m with you on the stoner thing. I have tendency to abuse substances, though thankfully haven’t developed alcoholic tendencies (seeing my best friend become an alcohol was enough for me to seriously try not to abuse it in the first place).

The weed helps give me that change in sobriety that I really enjoy w/o nearly the same damage to my mental health and body. That said I’ve definitely abused it, so I had to still set some basic parameters on myself, cuz making weed my whole personality would have had a negative social impact even if my body was cool with it.

Yeah it’s probably the case. The alcohol sheds their filters and social reservations that other people don’t have at all in the first place. At least I feel like that when I drink. I don’t do parties without a few drinks for that reason.

Dumb question but I thought centipedes had like… 95 legs or something.

The one in the op doesn’t have that many. Why are people thinking it’s a centipede?

Look up ultrasonic animal repeller. I’ve never used one, but it may work for you. It makes a high pitch noise that should stop cats and other animals from wandering into your yard.

My “anti space” stance has nothing to do with Elon. I simply don’t understand what value it gives when we have so much on earth to fix first.

Folks like you say there are things but won’t actually give examples. If you want to provide some I’ll wholeheartedly listen, for sure.

I’m on board with some space stuff like building JWST or the dart mission. However, sending humans up with rockets just to plant a flag or whatever is totally hedonistic and ridiculous to me.

I feel you. I have some friends interested but they don’t want to actually do the work. I’ll submit ideas for games and actually implement those ideas (even if they suck). But my friends feign interest and just give creative thoughts without rolling up their sleeves and learning the engine or doing any work. Even though they are programmers for their day job.

I have one friend who seemed interested, and I showed him around the software for about 15 min and he was like “that’s good enough for the day I think”. I facepalmed and was just like… “yeah… we can do more later” knowing full well that wouldn’t happen.

It sucks.

Browser compatibility. Design flaws can’t easily be fixed like how other languages can just switch to a new major version and introduce breaking changes. ES must keep backwards compatibility so has had to do more additive changes than replacing behavior altogether so that older web pages pages don’t break.

What do people even do with those? I know there’s lots to do, but what makes you recommend it in the context of this thread?

I also got into Legos when I was depressed. In general, working with your hands helps with depression.
