I would even expand this that you (probably) shouldn’t give $300,000 to anyone, ever.

Please never, ever, never do head rolls!!! Neck rolls are a murder to your cervical spine. Do three plane neck movements instead. First plane is left-right. Second plane is up-down (so tuck your chin in, then tilt your head back). Third plane is tilted, i.e. tilt head to one side without twisting, then to the other.

You would need much more than just long jogging sessions to go to 20km, like tempo runs, strength, power etc. My advice is to do:

1. Couch to 5K

2. Beginner 5K https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/5k-training/novi...

3. Beginner 10K https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/10k-training/nov...

4. Intermediate 10K https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/10k-training/int...

5. Intermediate 21K https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/half-marathon-tr...

Ah don’t be afraid of it. You’re missing out an opportunity to live a worryless retirement and to even leave a solid chunk of assets to your kids/partner. Simply invest a few hundreds euros (probably 300-400 will be enough) every month into an ETF which tracks some of the very broad market indices like MSCI World, FTSE All World or even S&P500. You have very good chances of becoming a millionaire or almost-millionaire by the time you retire. Good luck!

How did you conclude he’s talking about friends? In the whole article word "friend" doesn’t appear even once. Also, a person can hardly have hundreds of friends. Three, sure. Seven, very probably. Twelve, maybe. But hundreds? Impossible.

Waaat? How much is gym membership in the US then if $40 is much cheaper?

Edit: Thanks everybody for the explanation. In my head, gym == myself + good ol' iron. It seems that that is cheap in the US as well as in Europe :)

Wow! Thanks a million! This comment alone is worth all the time I've spent on HN this year :)

If N==1 you can make any conclusion. Percentage of programmers I know that are at the same time interested in making art is around 2%. Percentage of artists I know that are interested in software development is even less.

Math, physics, late night debugging sessions, repairing electronics/cars, overall hacking... Is this the skillset of an artist or a programmer?

Painting, playing instruments, creative writing, pottery... Is this the skillset of an artist or a programmer?

Probably because skillset for artists and skillset for developers have almost empty intersection.

Why not? You've never sold one of your used books?

It seems every project has its own documentation (powered by GitBook), for example https://lagarto.jodd.org/, https://http.jodd.org/ etc.

Very impressive that all of this is maintained by a single person in their free time! His blog (only Serbian, sorry) is at https://oblac.rs/

Also very useful, thank you!

TIL about the Island app. Thank you!

Sorry but this sounds like "I want to see something, you don't know what it is, I won't tell you, and if I don't see it it's game over bye!"

While it's true that asking an experienced surgeon basics of anatomy is worthless, please take into account that all surgeons at least operate on humans. If you take 10 random developers, chances are most of them worked on completely different levels and domains throughout their careers (e.g. embedded dev, backend, frontend, devops will have vastly different skills).

Vertical mice need not be too expensive these days. OK, now I use Evoluent Vertical Left 4 (the company bought it for me but IIRC it's $90), but before that I used some barely-not-noname-brand for $25 and it was decent for the money! My biggest complaint is that buttons were a bit hard to press (i.e. you need more force comparing to Evoluent).

Now about keyboard+mouse combo... Yes, it's a bit awkward to carry Kinesis Advantage 2 + Evoluent mouse around. I actually don't do it unless absolutely necessary. If I would have to work from someplace for a few days, I would just carry laptop :)

> > you know what is a PR

> This part doesn't make sense to me.

A proper PR (pull request on GitHub, not public relations, just to be clear) contains a working implementation of some feature or a bugfix. Ideally it also follows the style of the said project, is well tested etc.

If somebody opens a "PR" with no source code and the whole body of PR is, for example, "Replace your project with google docs" or even "s/.*/docs.google.com/", that's not a PR, that's wasting project maintainer's time.

If somebody opens a PR that says "Hey could you add feature X?" that's also not a PR. At best that's a feature request.

Yes, and on top of that I use a vertical left-handed mouse. I am right handed but my dad made me switch to driving a mouse with the left hand some 25 years ago. I am forever thankful to him for that :) First, you'll be faster because you can use keyboard with the right hand and drive a mouse with the left. Second, load on your right hand is automatically lower. And third, just use vertical mouse for a much more comfortable hand position :)

Don't do this. Get serious man, you know what is a PR and what is a demand for a free work. That's what you're passive-aggressively asking for.

The author of marktext will for sure welcome your PRs for all these features! As stated in the README, "Of course, if you submit a PR directly, it will be greatly appreciated."

I highly doubt that paid interviews pay $500/hr, let alone $1000/hr.

I'm interested in your proposal for an alternative. Service Locator? New operator everywhere, used at-will? Something else?

As an outsider, I can't say anything more. I know that US/Canadian developers are in no way guarantee that LGTM feast won't happen but that's PullRequest's policy.

It reminds me of "All credit card PINs in the world leaked out! Here they are: 0000, 0001, ..., 9999".

It seems they don't accept any reviewer outside US and Canada, let alone 3rd world countries.

Enhancer for YouTube [1] is your friend. I use it in Firefox but I think there are extensions for Chromium based browers too.

This is definitely cultural but also personal issue. I regularly tip cashiers, nurses (usually in the form of chocolate or some small gift), car mechanic, hair dresser, programmers (as in monthly donations to FLOSS) etc.

What do you mean by "obliged to apply it"? For example, I very very rarely apply it and nobody is forcing me to create inheritance hierarchy.
