It’s fun calling therapists and having them be “full”.

But yeah.

Oh, it’s been a year and a half and I still feel lost, miserable, betrayed, and so on.

My life literally got flipped upside down. I’m definitely not the right person to ask how to get over it.

My attempts mostly include focusing on my children and their lives, a lot of going to the gym (daily), kayaking in the summer, snowboarding through the winter, reading, side projects.

I’m still in the “never going to be in a relationship again” phase. I hear a lot of guys go through that, but it changes supposedly??? We’ll see.

I wish I had known my wife didn’t love me through my entire 30’s.

My 40’s are not what I expected.

Seriously tho, it comes down to dollars and cents and the fact that !important is an option (and not just for font-size).

A client says they’ll pay for 30 minutes, the boss won’t let you go over 15, it’s not like there’s enough time to actually wiggle your way through a CRM to drop the proper CSS, so a little !important in the override inline CSS is what happens time and time again.

Good developers would love to take the time to do things right, but we don’t always have control over these situations and it stinks.

Well, human beings have grown quite accustomed to using symbols to represent actions they need to take. In the United States, I remember learning about Mr. Yuck stickers by the time I was 4, or the shape and color of a stop sign, green means go, walk and don’t walk figures, even an exit sign always looked the same even if I couldn’t read.

The hamburger menu takes someone explaining it to you just one time to know what it is every time.

I think this would be a problem in terms of accessibility.

Gestures are required, text disappears horizontally, no visual indicator that you may have to scroll horizontally… I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong, but I’ve also been a fan of the hamburger menu since it arrived.

I hold the media responsible for fooling humans.

My concern is that CNN may also be “fooling” me in other ways, but in the same way other outlets have fooled others.

Meaning, they have an agenda, they paint a picture of the world through their own lense, and I won’t be a pawn in their game.

Dropbox does this but it’s limited to a certain number of days, so not the exact same thing. I love the idea of a simple hit for everything.

I think my Dropbox is already basically this. It has a revision history of my text files I think.

This article hits the nail on the head.

I stopped consuming all political, health, and global news the day after January 6th 2021. Pretty much anything that was on CNN/Fox or that half hour after the local news. I never watched local news really anyway, so I couldn’t quit something I didn’t already do in that regard.

I just assumed that if there were news outlets fooling humans into doing something like THAT on January 6th in the USA, then whatever I was watching was bound to fool me into doing something outrageous too, and it was time to stop.

I first started to consider stopping my news consumption after a certain someone was banned from Twitter. The weight I felt lifted off of me when I didn’t hear that noise anymore was immense. I figured it could only get better.

It did.

Just like this article says, within a month, you feel so much better about everything.

The world around you starts to feel normal. Things just are what they are.

Being informed didn’t help me or anyone else. Being concerned didn’t make the world a better place.

If something horrible is going to happen, I guess I’ll just be the last to know. And that’s totally fine with me.

I hope millions engage in cancelling the news. It could just be what sets things straight in this world.

Interesting.

If he worked 2 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 1 year (52 weeks), thats 520 hours.

He made $6.73 per hour before self employment and income taxes (if applicable). Or $13.46 per day.

I’m not sure how you get a good lunch and tuition from that unfortunately.

Still, everyone values their time and talents differently, they also have different goals in terms of education and what they consider to be a financial success.

I guess, given the money he’s made, what he’s actually learned is a long list of things he still needs to learn. Because what he’s saying he’s “learned” hasn’t been validated yet. Maybe if he’s making ~$70k by the end of this year we can assume these things he’s learned have value, otherwise, they are mostly observations about the current state of his business and how making adjustments in these areas have mildly impacted his bottom line.

I wish him the best of luck.

Am I reading this correctly that you worked 2 hours a day and only made $3.5k all year? Or about $300 a month?

Every service that lets you sign up with Google, Facebook, whatever should require a secondary authentication method, period.

They should be very aware that this could happen and their customers need a backup, that’s on them.

As for emails, contacts, photos, downloads, that’s on us. We need backups like you have but the vast majority of users wouldn’t even know where to begin with this.

That’s what I do with my ex but I can’t escape the hurt, depression, and uncertainty during the weeks when they are with my ex.

I think most parents fully expect to be parents 100% of the time once they have kids.

I don’t want, don’t need, don’t enjoy the “me/adult” time at all. I just want to make dinner for my kids, help with homework, watch a show together, take them to practice, play games, watch them grow, have conversations, hear their voices.

I coach everything just so I can see them on my off weeks. I am president of the pta so I can see them more often too.

It’s awful in every way for me. I can’t stand it when they are gone.

EDIT: Add in my ex bringing boyfriends around which makes me physically ill. I don’t sleep or eat. I feel miserable. I just hope my kids are getting through this okay, but it’s so hard to tell. I don’t want to ask if they feel bad because then they might think they are supposed to be feeling bad. So I just do what I can to make them feel happy and loved.

Still use JQuery all the time as a WP dev. And ftp too.

Here it is. I found my people.

The one I have, you can use a red marker and lightly draw 2 lines in the space where they would appear if you have covid.

Well, they never said the bots they are using also use the latest AI technology. It just says "bots".

These could be purposely flawed bots, with AI only good enough to create rubbish, hilarious, fantastic rubbish.

Maybe I didn’t read it close enough, but workplaces that want their employees to be “family” are destructive to the actual families they have at home.

I actually attribute my divorce in part to my ex wife’s workplace making her truly believe that they were her “family”.

Everything there became more important than us. She called them her family and it was hurtful to our’s. I could write an article myself on this, but wanted to put it out there.

When work crosses the “family” boundary, it’s going a step too far.

We are coworkers. We get the job done 40 hours a week (should be 30). We go home to our families.

I learned to cook a lot from the 3x5 cards my mom has in a cupboard.

They list stuff like a "pinch" of salt or a "stick" of butter.

Sometimes I'll make her dinner from her recipe and she'll be surprised and say "that's not the way I do it" and then she'll really enjoy the food anyway.

I think interpretation is what makes cooking an art, and many times, those little individual choices we make to interpret a recipe or system of cooking is what makes us proud of our dish.

I believe this is a typo on your home page:

"No specific version numbers or IP addresses are saves."

Should be "saved".

I think the app works great. And the conversations are usually pretty good too as long as each side is willing to be civil. Particularly in my local city/community subs.

For example, my local city sub is like NextDoor only without the nut jobs and constant "my Pitbull got loose in the park again" posts.

It might be, but it's the first thing many devs look for when choosing an engine, so might as well answer the question.

Scratch is still programming first, where Flash was animation first with the ability to add programming.

The Flash IDE was probably the best part of Flash.

I think it boils down to a shitty employee at the end of the day.

If you have someone who decides to cut even 1 corner, it can be devastating to a domain owner.

I have hundreds of clients who have used them, and I've never been on the phone with GoDaddy and had them do any less than tell me to bug off if I don't have a pin or get the 2-factor auth code to verify myself.

I was this 100% about... 6 months ago.

Then I got to understand how easy Gutenberg actually is.

You can just type and press enter. That's it. Click a block, switch it to a header. Or a paragraph. Easy.

I think one thing people don't realize is at the bottom of the editor there are breadcrumbs, and they allow you to select within the hierarchy of blocks you are working in - for things like columns for example. Before I noticed this, I hated Gutenberg, now I can just click the breadcrumb to select my block and a lot of frustration is resolved.

I know, unintuitive interfaces are bad, and this feels totally hacky, and I hope that it gets better, but knowing how to use this has made Gutenberg a joy for me to use over the old editor.

Concept is interesting.

Needs an option to remove underlines and no dark mode.

First, they really missed an opportunity to rick roll everyone with this article. (just kidding)

But seriously, this went way over my head. If anyone can explain this to me like I'm 5, that would be awesome, I'm really interested in the subject but lack any real knowledge of the science.

It does seem to work on insects resilient to other poisons for sure.

We used a mix of vinegar, soap, and water in a spray bottle to rid our patio of earwigs this year and it seemed to work incredibly well. The insecticides we were spraying them with before trying the soap did absolutely nothing but cost $7 a can.

Time to open-source the news.
