miltonlaxer··on Meta VR Glasses
The aggressive push for ID verification is a direct result of massive government lawsuits regarding online child safety. As a strict condition of this settlement, Meta is legally mandated to enforce hard age gates.

Plus they already have all that data... Your ID is not private information. It's an identifier that they don't need or want.

miltonlaxer··on Tell HN: Turned 44 today and I'm lost
I have always been negative about Ketamine but I likely misunderstand it. After some research, it sounds okay. I'm not a big fan of using any substance as a solution to a problem but I understand why people do. I am not an expert and you can forget I said anything
miltonlaxer··on Tell HN: Turned 44 today and I'm lost
I started by reconnecting with anyone I could. Many of them are not people that I would previously consider being friends with (hence why we stopped talking). This isn't a great solution but it might put you in good situations.

Try going to social settings like downtown and not think too much about how "These are not my type of people" or "I don't want to be out partying all the time". You have to go out and approach people to meet new friends. It's uncomfortable and awkward. You'll get rejected and need to brush it off. I've even considered going out solo and just walking around and enjoying myself.

miltonlaxer··on Tell HN: Turned 44 today and I'm lost
I spent too many years ruthlessly perusing my career and passion for coding. Sure, I have a bunch of a money and my dream job but now what? I spent the last 8 years with a girl that I was certain I was going to marry. She cheated on me last month and I hit rock bottom. I didn't want to code anymore, I didn't even want to play games or get out of bed. I started working out, eating healthy, and improving myself however I could. I'm still not happy but I feel more alive than I have in years. I take chances, try to meet new people, say yes to things. Try taking a step back from your work and make yourself uncomfortable. Go try new things, meet new people, and put yourself into those weird and awkward positions. Your zenith doesn't stop at your career and wealth. Travel, try new hobbies, buy a fast car, start a project. Life has ups and downs. Stay strong bro.

EDIT: Ketamine might be totally fine... I just have negative feelings about it.

miltonlaxer··on Netflix Made Record Profits in 2020, Paid a Tax Rate of Less Than 1 Percent
Yeah next they're gonna say Netflix should be government run. Keep pressing the naritive till it hurts netflix's bottom line and they bend over. I hate the corporations vs people, rich vs poor, etc. This is nonsense.

miltonlaxer··on Learning new skills during my downtime
The secret is to turn what you like doing in your free time into something profitable. Many of us on here love to code and do it in our spare time. We also do it for a living. You can even guide the work you do at your job by speaking up.

miltonlaxer··on Rust-analyzer – an IDE backend for Rust
Okay it's been 3 minutes since I made this post and I've already uninstalled RLS and started using rust-analyzer. It just works out of the box and all my issues with RLS are gone. THANK YOU!
miltonlaxer··on Rust-analyzer – an IDE backend for Rust
I started learning rust 2 days ago and I was struggling with RLS in WSL using VSCode. I think it just doesn't work very well with WSL (https://github.com/rust-lang/rls-vscode/issues/706#event-327...).

Very excited to give this a try in WSL2.
