Someone needs to flip it over mid load.

I feel like the only people that "like" javascript or those that had it for their first language. Its needed, its better than it was, but compared to just about any other language its a total mess.

Nice try robot!

I site based on tech and science and you are confused why the majority or pro vax? Did you ever consider you just flat out wrong?

I allow my kids to plea their case anytime they disagree. They get one shot so i usually remind them of that and they usually disappear for a bit thinking their case through before coming back. Now i keep an open mind and hear there side on why whatever i just decided was unfair or why i was wrong.

If its a good case (or they argued it well) i change my mind. IF not then the answer is final. Period. There is never a second go. Now this seems harsh but you can't negotiate with terrorists. Once a decision is made the sooner they learn its whats happening the sooner they quit that trying to wear you down thing.

By focus you mean jumping around and screaming/cursing at the furniture. Agreed this helps me as well.

IF when discussed usually means fasting daily. So maybe your food window is only between 4 - 8 pm. The anti-aging stuff you saw/read (if its the same that i did) was more about actual fasting where you might not eat everyday and here they did find some linkage to aging.

You are only eating 500 calories a day? That seems really low but i am not an expert.

Thanks for the follow up i have ordered the book. I didn't find deep work lacking but still look forward to reading the shallows.

You should read "Deep Work" i found it very enlightening and have put a lot of it into practice to make sure i have time for deep and creative work.

Excluding chasing the shiny object (the javascript race you mentioned) lifetime learning is part of the job description. If you don't love to learn and to apply the things you have learned the tech industry really isn't for you.

Also 1-2 languages... that's really on the shallow end most devs, myself included, will learn a lot more than that and each new language is much easier to pick up then the previous ones.

However as you get more experience, at least for me, you tend to stick to a handful of languages that each cover a domain.

OO, Functional, Dynamic/static variants and a language/stack that allows fast prototyping of ideas.

Interesting blanket statement if not completely false. The only thing you can sort of assume is that those with liberal/left leanings are more likely to be teachers.

Something like 80% of software costs are maintenance.

LOL hand-egg did you make that up on the spot or is this honestly what american football is called outside the US?

I agree but that's to come by when your not in a legal state.

This is why i don't use pot. The smell destroyed my house. I had pancretitus and quit drinking and thought i would just smoke once in a while (smoked in high school but that was decades ago).

Bought some, put it in a zip lock bag, in a zip lock bag, in a zip lock bag, in a glass container, inside a gun safe. By the way i didn't start with this configuration by when i reached it and still could smell it everywhere i knew it had to go.

No thanks. Not opposed to using when out and someone has some but the smell was just to much to keep any in my house (this was an 8th).

If this isn't a joke thats messed up. If your not having the sex life you want with your SO figure out why generally there is something wrong in the relationship and fix it.

Is SO just tired and dead at the end of the day? Help them more, delegate out anything that you can to 3rd party services (not as expensive as you would think).

The obvious one, send the kids somewhere, go out on date.

That all being said. if this real i highly doubt it even works.

It always was they are just not trying to hide it anymore.

I was one of the developers years ago. You find your language ORM library and away you go happy coding. It was only after running into some performance issues and other bottle necks that i put my head down and spent a week learning the DB (granted its not a long time but you can learn A LOT about SQL and your DB in 40 hours).

Not only did it solve my bottle neck issues it just made it very apparent that there are a lot of things ORM do that make everything harder. They have their place but working with the DB/SQL/Triggers/Views/Mat Views/ ... improved my applications greatly.

Now years later anytime i am working with a new developer i always stress that they at least learn the basics.

I don't disagree its why i said unless its academic.

> How did it happen that junior JavaScript developers feel so insecure about using the standard stuff?

I know a lot of "developers" that are learning frameworks and not javascript. When you start in a black box then you look for other black boxes to fill in the gaps you need.

I am not even opposed to that. I strongly believe in never re-inventing (unless its academic) what can be used and has been tested, but when the developers are not javascript developers but react, vue, angular developers. Then you get this gap where the inexperienced are afraid to outside of what others have built.

These things come in waves and it happened in the early 90 late 80's also. We get ultra PC it goes to far we over correct and the start inching back to it.

If... that's exactly what its being used for unless its being used to purchase illegal goods (ala silk road - which i have no problem with) but as a normal currency in the western world no one is going to adopt it so its an asset until it vanishes.

Not supporting FB or any company and their data mining BUT... 'that allow individuals to trade certain amounts of data with companies in exchange for money' This is the premise to what they are doing. We made this cool application and you can use it without paying for it by allowing us to use the data.

Office more specifically Excel and I know linux has alternatives but they are not as good and everyone else i am working with is using/sending excel.

I excitedly installed the new crossover linux because of there office 2017 support in my manjaro machine at home and yea i guess it "works" but the experience was slow, painful, and i wouldn't call it stable.

Beyond that i find i am constantly having to put work into my linux machine to get things to run YES its a million times better than it used to be AND I WANT to run linux but its always more work.

"taxing physically, mentally and emotionally" it's supposed to be "Rewarding, stress leaving, and healthy" human contact is important. If you have had some shitty relationships re-evaluate where you are shopping for dates.

Can someone link the original I can't find it.

They could have just an a confirmation window with the the text that was about to be sent.

"Everyone is going to die. Run but it won't help"... Is that want you wanted to send [Yes] [No]

Kids are hard work, expensive, a huge responsibility (it's your job to make sure they don't end up entitled little assholes) and you have to give up a 3rd of your youth. I never wanted kids.

Accidentally got my girlfriend pregnant in my early 20's got married and had another child, on purpose, 5 years after the first.

I wouldn't change anything and even with all the sacrifice and hard work the rewards run deep and i couldn't imagine the person i would be had i not ended up a father.

My oldest is heading to college in next fall and i am already feeling sad about how her daily absence is going to leave me feeling a bit empty.

It's not for everyone and i can only speak for myself but i never knew i wanted them or how much more fulfilling my life would be until i had them.

That would be a pretty awesome non-profit.
