If changing job is a major trauma I would advice seeing a therapist. This is not a standard for most people.

Food is not forbidden. I passed security gates with food multiple times on multiple airports - still sealed food like peanuts or candy bars, but also homemade sandwiches.

Drinks are the problem, but water is not that expensive, and some airports have drinkable water for free near toilets.

I don't remember the last time I've printed anything at work, apart from my notice.

> But that's definitely the case for him and for several vim + tiling users that I know. > Then every single step requires planning for the basic moves.

I think you are imagining things, because that makes you feel better. None of this is true for experienced vim users. It's true for novices, but that's the nature of learning. I know you won't believe me, but I don't really care.

> They will never say anything but good things about it.

That's not true either, as every tool has pros and cons, and every vim/tmux/i3/arch/linux user is aware of that.

Look at YT/Twitch for any good Vim user, like Primeagen or TJ Devries, or basically any Vim-related conference talks and you will see that your understanding is flawed.

> Or, rather, what's the difference betweeen "helix but with vim motions" and a bundled vim distribution?

Vim/Neovim distribution as polished as Helix OOTB does not exist :D

> For him, it's a whole guacamole, because there is a special shortcut to get to the browser, another one to get to the text, then copy/paste, then go to vim with another shortcut, select the proper buffer, paste with a yet another shortcut and make sure he uses the proper mode. Since Dvorak is a different layout than his phone keyboard or his client keyboards, the shortcuts don't perfectly rely on muscle memory.

I think you are over-estimating the effort. Most experienced Vim users not even think about motions when they use them, it's just the muscle memory.

I wish Helix has vim-motions as an option. I don't want to break my muscle memory and le-learn everything just to use it in one editor (I use vim motions everywhere I can via plugins).

> It's not going to make you shoot better.

Nor do the muscles (from the point where you are strong enough so the ball can reach the basket), and yet you will not see a basketball players that is not muscular.

PEDs allow you to gain muscles faster and have greater stamina, all of which is beneficial.

> All pro golfers?

Of course I was talking mainly about sports where physical performance matters. Although PEDs exists even in e-sport (Adderall).

> they do some... stuff to it.

They put a special sticker on all of your cameras and inspect if it is still there on the exit.

> If you think your code is special then you're wrong

Your code is not special, but customers data may be. Also, some companies needs to comply to various certifications, and proven leak of source code that was put into some third party tool may be a reason to revoke such certification. Which can cause a serious financial harm to a given company, as it can lead to ex. losing government clients.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

You can do that if you want, at least on iPhones, but for sure on Android too. You can automatically drop calls from unknown numbers - on iPhone you just get the notification with the number that was calling you and that's all.

EVERY professional athlete is juicing. Most of them just don't get caught.

> Oh boy how i wish the information i find on Google, Wikipedia, etc. were mostly correct 95% of the time

For me is more like 99%, if I search for something and I find the answer, it is correct. Sometimes I just don't find what I am looking for, and this is the 1%.

Using ChatGPT is like using "I'm feeling lucky" feature in Google, but you are only allowed to use it once, and you are stuck with the result you got. You NEVER know if what GPT produced is true or not, and any fact requires double check.

I tried to use GPT-3 as google for some quick searches but I stopped because using standard search was much more efficient at the end of the day.

> No need to be exposed to clickbait, scams, or excessively ad-heavy results.

Just bot hallucinating, which is way worse than anything you mentioned, as there is now way to determine if GPT is telling you the truth or not without actual manual check in other sources.

> it’s been known remote workers don’t perform as well for as long as I’ve been in the industry

I've worked in the industry for 10 years now, and I don't agree "it's been known". Any measurable source of such claims?

> I just got really lucky that one time

You didn't tho. Investing in gold should be a long-term investment, and in a long term price of gold trend is still rising. It was constantly rising till 2012, then fall a little bit in 2012-2016, and is rising again.

Regarding 1., I don't know how much this applies to US, but make sure your other bank is not owned by a first bank in which you have account, or if they both are not owned by the same entity.

How it is possible that people belived that these images are not artificially enchanced? Like it is obvious, there is no way a phone sensor can take such detailed photos of the Moon. I am surprised this was even a discussion.

> Genuinely curious how does this work? Do they get paid per the number of hospitals who hired them? How do they go to work? How do they know what hospital to go to?

They have duty schedules, so they know where they should be at a given time. They have contracts signed with each hospital, like any employee. They can also work in private healthcare at the same time. It's just the case of setting up a schedules so they won't collide.

> she was an attending in emergency department and wanted to switch to radiology. In her case this resulted in the full 4 years of study on top of about half a year of just showing up in the hospital and tagging along with the radiology team.

That's normal because this is a specialization change. Not many doctors change specs or have more than one in most cases, at least in Poland.

> Here's what happens if you want to move to a "different place".

All of this is still not true in a most simple case, so getting job at a different hospital in the same specialization. Ex. in Poland most doctors are hired in multiple hospitals at the same time.

You described a process required to became a doctor, not to get a job at a hospital. You don't need to do any of this when you want to move to a different place.

All companies I worked in for the last 10 years used squash-merges exclusively, combined with trunk-based development and small commits. I don't see anything wrong with that, it's nice to have a history where every other commit is not a merge commit.

I develop desktop and embedded applications, so do a different work than distributed systems engineers, but I wonder - do you often build systems from scratch and therefore need to have all this knowledge?

Because in every job I've worked in the past 10 years, I landed in an established project, that was developed years ago, and my work was to maintanace and add new features. Most of these projects were too big and complicated for one person to know how they work in every detail - even the ones that were there for the very beginning always said something like "after all these years I don't know how half of the things are implemented".

So, from my perspective, an interview question where someone asks me to design a complex system entirely on my own, in details, is just stupid, as I am pretty sure I will never do anything like that in my life. But maybe webdev is a different story?

I write code in C++ professionally and I do not see anything wild about that statement. It is very rare to start a new project in C++ outside of a few domains (high-performance finance, game development). There are more and more "C++ successor" language projects started by people even from C++ committee. I see more and more very well known people from the C++ community starting to learn Rust.

C++ is really unpleasant if you want to hop-in into some project. External dependencies (in most cases manually handled), various build systems (including custom ones - every project I worked on used a different build system!), various standards - ex. we have C++23 around the corner, and Fish has stayed on C++11. If you work in C++ you will stumble upon code from C++11 (or even earlier) to C++17. Learning C++ with intention to work in it means you need to basically know every standard released.

I don't think anyone should learn C++ nowadays if they don't have too - the only exception is if you are really interested in the industry that mainly use C++ and it doesn't seem it will change.
