No, not really. It's like, if you go to the store and realize you forgot your wallet, would you say we're talking about a wallet? No, we're talking about a trip to the store.
Walmart is a well oiled machine. Not saying there's nothing to improve, but in the context of the overall system in which it operates, it's crushing it.
Yeah, I asked for an instrumental with clarinets, piano, upright bass, and baritone saxophone, and it was a song with cheesy lyrics about these instruments. If it doesn't understand "instrumental", it just sucks.
I hear you. Internally, I always pronounced "var" as rhymes with "care", but then a colleague pronounced it "var" as rhymes with "car". I think the same guy pronounced "char" like char-broiled, whereas I had thought of it like "care". And he would say "jay-SON" for json, which I pronounced like Jason.
How would you feel about a notation that is not meant to be pronounced at all?
The difficulty of git is that it can do so much in so many different ways. What's actually needed is something like a linter for git workflow, where an org can enforce an opinionated subset of git's capabilities in a prescribed order of operations.
I have an office with a nice, heavy door. I don't often close it, but just knowing that it's there and that I can close if I want to is a comforting thought. That said, I think if I did always close it, I'd be more productive by a significant margin....
I think it would be important to record and review the exact language used. People have a tendency to speculate, project and misremember things. "Let us know when you have more traction," could easily (and wrongly) be translated to, "They said they want to work with us once we can prove growth," which is not the same statement.
If you asked someone on a date, and they said, "Get back to me when your abs are showing," would you actually surmise that you were a good match and just needed to do more crunches?
I like to keep in mind a companion rule along with DRY (don't repeat yourself): Don't make the reader repeat themself, i.e. re-read your code multiple times after you've cleverly repackaged it.
I would prefer that google search didn't suck. Instead, I ask ChatGPT. The best case scenario, IMO, would be for people to lay out excellent documentation and working code and train the LLM specifically on that in a way that it can provide reference links to justify its answers. Then, I will take what it says and go directly to the source to get the knowledge as it was intended to be ingested by a human. We get a lot more value than we're initially looking for when we dive into the docs, and I don't want to lose that experience.
I think I do my best work when it's something no one asked for in the first place. I also do great work when I have a good back-and-forth to clarify requirements until I know exactly what we're going for. Where I get discouraged is when I get half-baked requirements, carefully consider the problem and provide a best effort solution, then get clarification that would have been great to know up front, now requiring a re-think.
You must have misunderstood. Being kidnapped and tortured with <item> does not mean that <item> should be banned just because <item>, while widely used responsibly for its intended purpose, could possibly be used maliciously.
No, dude. I was abducted, and my captors tormented me by giving me papercuts all over my body. Naturally, I feel strongly that paper should be outlawed. It would be illogical to allow for the possibility of someone else going through what I went through. Down with pulp!
What happened to the plaintiff was really messed up, but I don't see how it's the site's problem. Suppose you answer a newspaper personal ad, meet up with the person and get all your limbs chopped off. Yeah, that fucking sucks, but we're not about to shut down the newspaper.
Ads are not necessarily the problem. It's the way they're delivered.
For one thing, if they are so damn dominant at advertising, why can't they show me a better variety of ads?
Another problem is the jarring nature of ads. They are just IN YOUR FACE all of a sudden, and it's basically rude the way they're presented. Is there not a more "polite" way to go about it?
You could have me watch 5 minutes of straight ads, reset every 12 hours, and I'd be OK with that. I'd even be glad to rate each ad along the way. Are they hellbent on interruptions, or do they just want the ads to be seen? I hate the interruption.
How do you get the right amount of zinc? Are there other minerals you're supposed to take with zinc? I know that sometimes balancing one thing causes another thing to go out of balance.
I found that dosage of Sertraline made a notable difference for me. Too high a dose would get me in a hypomanic state. That may be where you were at when feeling superhuman. But mania can't last forever and is inevitably followed by a low.
Stopping cold turkey was bad news for me, too. I got the "zaps" any time I turned my head. So, I decided to taper down, which worked fine.
This is my experience, too. Bupropion (Wellbutrin) seems to dampen the spike of cortisol or adrenaline or something that I can get when something really irritates me. As a single father of two middle school age boys, it has helped a lot.
Btw, have you noticed exposure to sunlight to make you even more laid back? I've recently been casually tracking a correlation in that for myself.
I'm surprised to learn that "nm" doesn't really mean a thing to any manufacturer. At this rate, they'll be in the negatives if they want to keep going like this.
