Totally agree here too. HQ/QFG was the crown jewel of Sierra, and also their most underrated title. Space Quest deserves honorable mention. I really enjoyed getting away from the green grass and castles theme and it didn't take itself too seriously.
I'd be interested in a directory or database of these "mental autocorrects" - it seems like the applications of these errors that you don't even notice could be interesting.

For another example, notice the the fact that I incorrectly used "the" twice in a row earlier in this sentence.

I'll need to watch a bit of that show. I'm a senior developer and recently promoted to team lead at a very large company.

In my opinion, moving up further is not about whether I know the latest framework or how fast I churn out code..it's like you said...

"They judge you by what you wear, how you stand, how you talk and there is nothing you can do about it."

This means more frequent hair cuts, nicer fitting clothes, getting rid of the canvas laptop bag from college.

Even if it doesn't matter, it makes me feel better and confident - which would reflect in how I talk and interact.

>30-day mortality increased with age for both patients with breast cancer and patients with NSCLC treated with curative intent, and decreased with age for patients receiving palliative SACT

palliative = try to keep the patient comfortable with pain relief and other medications

SACT = Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (aka chemo) try to actually cure the patient

NSCLC = non-small cell lung cancer
What an absolute waste of an article. It just repeats itself over and over and over quoting different people each time.

"They should fix it, blah blah blah. Make them do it, blah blah blah."

If you don't answer the question of HOW then you just completely wasted your readers time.

There is the tiniest mention in passing about something using sound waves to guess the location of the person holding the phone. It doesn't work well.

And that's it. What a useless article.
The "intermediate beginner" who latches on whatever is "new" and trendy is my biggest annoyance with the industry. Unfortunately functional programming seems to be what at lot of these people are claiming is the solution to everything now, even if they have little experience building systems with it and it's older than OOP.

Haha, just tonight my wife was talking away about this and that and I was completely oblivious with occasional "uh huhs" and "yeahs" when she suddenly stopped and said, "Do you not want to talk right now?"

I said, "No, no, I'm just tired."

She said, "It's ok if you don't want to talk. Just say so."

Thirty-eight years after we met, I think she's on to me.

Really? I just moved away from Houston and in my 2+ years there I never found a single person who thought the land use regulations were effective. Many friends who were life-long Houstonians routinely referred to it as "the worst run city in America."

I lived in north-east Houston just outside Beltway 8. Hundreds of new homes were being built along West Lake Houston Parkway, with no apparent plans for upgrading traffic. It was a real mess and will only get worse.

>Perhaps an many introverts are introverted because they had social interactions that were traumatic, and they don't trust others to reciprocate if they give?

I really don't think that is the case, introverts aren't "broken angels who just need to be won over," they have completely different internal motivations.
My takeaway from your example is not to not use microservices, but to get proper operational processes in place. At most I'd stretch to conceding that they should have done that first.

I am currently writing this sitting in a small motel room very close to downtown vegas and am very alone.

I am back on heroin. I write this not for shock factor because, frankly, I don't give a shit about how anyone feels about it.

I write this as a warning to those wise enough to hear, about how being introverted can easily lead to a lonely, fairly miserable life as you grow older.

My excuse was always the same as I hear here...I'm not interested in shallow conversation or discussing things with people whom seem to have almost complete misunderstandings of the basics of things etc etc.

I am 51yo, my birthday was last week..2 people texted me happy birthday and I spent the day alone, as none of my local junkie friends bothered to invite me to do anything. Yeah, big surprise I know can you believe it?

I spent almost 35 years of my life, starting at age 15, playing in bands and was always surrounded by fellow musicians and all the various bar archetypes.

Coding came super easy to me and it allowed me to earn very good money while living a lifestyle that had all the trappings of a happy, extroverted kinda life, and I enjoyed it immensely. I felt (and still do) incredibly blessed by the genetic gods to be born at such a time where society valued my native aptitude...I am sure there were periods where it wouldn't have been such a blessing.

Looking back, I see how I was drawn to and used drugs and music as tools to overcome my introvertness, and you know what? They worked very well. But, as they say, what happens when the song ends and the dope runs out?

But this is my dilemma and where it gets nutso...I wonder just how much we truly control the decisions our brain and subconscious make for us. Looking back, I have serious doubts that even if someone had shown me of picture of my bleak life right now, that I would have somehow been able to make different decisions.

Even now, knowing how I should act to prevent this level of isolation, I am unable to do those things consistently enough to make them work and have all but giving up trying.

So yeah..introverted, rude, selfish, disconnected for sure. But also, passionate, informed, and sensitive as well.

That's life I guess.

What kind of infantilized nanny-state fingerpointing scapegoat culture are we living in here? It is beyond ridiculous to say phone makers should be responsible for fixing this problem. Not just because of the impossibility, but because of the slippery slope of impossibility for all the other things that all the hand-wringing in the world won't put under the control of major corporations' safety initiatives.

How about this: texting while driving is as dangerous as drinking and driving yes? How about giving it commensurate penalties and drivers license revocation?
Perhaps an many introverts are introverted because they had social interactions that were traumatic, and they don't trust others to reciprocate if they give? Most of the introverts I've gotten to know are exceedingly kind and loyal once they view you as a legitimate human being.

No. Introversion is not damage. Introversion is not about lack of trust.

It is entirely possible to be "exceedingly kind and loyal", and yet also find socializing to be tiring and not really enjoyable.

Group conversations are usually shallow, because every person in the group must understand the conversation.

No wonder that you do not like typical group conversation. You simply prefer deep conversations. There is nothing wrong with that and there little need to push yourself for group conversations.
I hate to go on a tangent, but what are some examples of things that OOP does better than FP?

I can only think of a couple examples: data structures and some APIs.
Except they charge me the same rate if I already have my device as the person in the long-term contract, just without the early termination fee. If they have structured the locked-in person's contract to cover hardware costs then they have structured mine for that as well, despite the fact that I didn't get hardware from them. Therefore, I am paying part of the hardware costs for the people who buy phones from the provider; i.e. I am subsidizing them.

Furthermore, early termination fees are constant for all contracts. The person who got the $150 phone has the same termination fee as the person who got the $600 phone. Thus again, someone is subsidizing someone else.
This article hit a nerve with me.
I'm an introvert. I know that now but for years I wondered why I hated being around people and large gatherings. I figured I was just strange and let myself not attend gatherings and be by myself. I found it easier and more satisfying than having to deal with people.

Now, many years later, I understand that I did myself a disservice. I missed many gatherings that I now wished I had attended. I'm sure I missed many connections that I would have enjoyed.

I understand now it's ok to be an introvert but it's not ok to let it control how you deal with people. Not necessarily because you're somehow being less than cordial to people, believe me most people won't miss you, but because you miss out on life's moments and that is your loss and no one else's. Life is too short to miss them and most will not come by again.
Anything that behaves like an object, would be the obvious answer. GUI elements, things in games or simulations. More abstractly, an object's a namespace with persistent properties, so for something that has a persistent, possibly mutable, state, an object is the metaphor you want.

Whether data structures should be objects rather than primitives depends very much on the data.
Why not just enjoy the spontaneous moment rather than fiddling with a phone or press a button on the glasses. The odds of looking back through all your archived 10 second video and reliving the spontaneous moment is pretty nill.
Problem: many spontaneous moments are missed because people feel compelled to "share" them.

Solution: enjoy the spontaneous moment.
I agree with you, though I see the pendulum swinging ever-so-slowly back.

Quadcopters, 'hover boards' are a good example. Lots of people age 13-30 buying them, and that's people can't save money. Buying stuff they don't need and would not use - only to look cool.
Especially annoying considering how all modern cars have a sensor to know if there's a passenger (so they can play a noise if they're not wearing a seatbelt). The console should unlock when there is.

è questione di gusti, of course. Your taste. There's no objective measure of interesting.

That said, it's reasonable to say I tend not to like the banal banter of drunk people. It's probably true that the overall drinking culture is banal but banal is an escape for a few hours for a lot of people. You don't have to join them on that one.
You could even go one step further, and lock the console controls if the driver doesn't have both hands on the wheel. That would still allow a passenger to use the console.
Personally I think masked numbers should be phased out entirely.
I don't really know what to say because I haven't ever dealt with heroin addiction. But it sounds like you want to turn things even though you know that you are unlikely to change as a person at this point, isn't that enough to take a step in a different direction? Into a different social circle?

You also seem very self-aware which helps in most every social encounter.

Enough with that bullshit.

> junior devs

mostly don't make architectural decisions. It's a bit easy to keep on blaming "junior devs". Who keeps on hyping up and marketing useless stuffs ? that's not "junior devs", that's big consultancies that want to sell their crappy services, that's PAAS that want to sell more servers, that's vendors that want to sell more useless stuff. Enough with blaming "junior devs". Junior devs don't lead teams and have very little say when it comes to architectural choices, they don't contract this or that consultancy, they don't decide whether a business will run on Amazon or Azure. Junior devs didn't invent NoSQL, Microservices, "Serveless" and all that bullshit. Well established players sell these services to others, and the people who drink the kool-aid are managers, not junior devs.

Do you really think "junior devs" want to maintain 50 micro servers just because it's trendy? when they could get away with a single one?

Definitely agree with the conclusion that nowadays, "In other words, the only socially acceptable mom has become a mom who never takes her eyes off her kids".

When I was growing up in the 90's and took the bus to school, parents just dropped off the kids on the corner and parents go about the day. Now when I drive by school bus stops, I see a line of cars parked on the side of the road. Both parents and kids sitting in the car till the bus comes.
This approach makes a lot of sense. The only other scenario where I think it makes to go microservice is when development progress is impacted by organizational structure. That seems to be a huge reason why corps like amazon broke things down into microservice teams; so productivity could stay high in extremely complex and high headcount environments.

The really insane thing is this: we have never in all of human history been safer.

Crime is at a 50 year low, and nearly everyone has health care. Not only that but more than two thirds of the population carries a location aware communication device that can be used to summon help almost anywhere in minutes.

I sometimes wonder if this is in fact the problem. Maybe we are so wired for scarcity and danger that we become neurotic and paranoid in its absence. It's analogous to the 'hygiene hypothesis' for allergies.
The law does not declare misdelivered merchandise to be a "free gift" like unordered merchandise.

I don't think it's that bad for introverts here. We're not treated like dirt. We just tend to over think things a bit. Most of the extroverts are too busy socializing to worry about whether someone talks enough. I think everyone puts more weight on their own presence and how much thought others put into to how quiet someone is and so on.

Most people focus on their own thing and aren't all that concerned if yours isn't the exact copy. In other words, I don't think people are really looking and judging MOST of the time that someone thinks they are. Chances are they look disapproving because they have a headache, are tired, and have too much shit to get done to be there and happen to be looking one direction or another, it could be yours.
He's arguing by example that your idea that the Mission being more dangerous for someone with "assets" doesn't play out in other parts of major American cities.

I don't know anything about the mission but in my southside Chicago neighborhood having assets will not get you targeted. Being a young black kid from the wrong block will.

This thread is basically all about the idea that rich techies deciding if a neighborhood is more safe from their perspective is flawed, because they are likely to be the least impacted. From my experience, that's true.

Their pay is what it is because of economics. And they will get replaced if they keep up with the poor service, because of economics. The worse your service, the easier it is for a robot to replace you. It's not possible for a individual, a corporation or even a government to go against economical forces.

Then again, don't get me wrong, I do think that the government needs to do more wealth redistribution.
Good luck. You sound despondent ... it used to work, but now escapism isn't delivering, and you are afraid where this will lead. Often a change of environment/scenery is the best way to get yourself out of a rut.

H-brain will throw up fear of withdrawl, but you can always get on a shorter plane ride and check straight in to a clinic in some town on the other side of the country, get some methadone and taper off... just try not to make new junkie friends.

Good luck.

As a parent of two kids, the leaving children at home unattended while the parent runs a short errand being considered a crime has always caused me anguish.

The leading cause of death in children in the United States is by car accident[0]. So if my youngest son is asleep in his crib and I need to leave to grab groceries from the store a mile away, I have to wake him up, strap him into his placebo seat[1], and put his life into statistically far, far greater danger than the risk of him somehow suffocating in his empty crib or dying in a house fire. Not to mention the added stress on both him and me that arises from waking a toddler prematurely--stresses that result in shaken baby syndrome and the third leading cause of death in his age group.

Absolutely true. I tend to attract good energy when I put out good energy. The inverse, too. It's palpable. If I walked around always in the space of my lowest band, I'd see the world and people as pretty bad.

What are you talking shit? Income segregation is not enforced by government (except, ironically, for zoning laws)
At $DAYJOB we run a SaaS with a free trial, and immediately start billing for the following month after the trial expires.

However, we don't ask for credit card details until the first payment, so, there's no risk that a user would be charged accidentally. It also reduces onboarding friction as a credit card isn't required for signup. If a user doesn't want to continue after the trial, we advise them to disregard the invoice.
Absolutely, go to concerts alone. It harms nobody. If you go to the concert and made a point of standing facing the crowd glaring with your arms folded, that's harm. Obviously, you're there to have some fun or at least enjoy some good music.

You get events where hardly anyone wants to actually be there. So some of the people who do show up end up resenting those who didn't. Similar story with people that put in an appearance for 20 minutes.
This is a hard one for many, many people. Most people don't give a fuck because they have enough to deal with in their own life without thinking about yours all the time, too. It's an illusion that anyone is evaluating whether you came to the show with someone or not.

It's interesting, people see me as very extroverted and I can be but what they don't see is just how much I also like my alone time and the older I get the more I can let myself be introverted and be fine with it. I think social media gives me a fake sense of being connected to people and so staying home becomes easier because I can still be "social".
