This is helpful. I haven't read "Getting to Yes."

I should add, that neither conversation was particularly acrimonious. Just frustrating because no reason for switching to a flat rate, beyond that that was how they were doing it now, was given.
It would be lots easier to align work with our natural sleep cycles if the standard work week was less than 40 hours. People don’t really want to wake up at the crack of dawn, but you’ve got to get those hours in!
Working mulitiple remote jobs. I've never been 100% utilized, haven't been in 10 years. So I took on another job. I work more than one job remote in an 8 hour day. Two times the income, and I'm generally more busy, but still not 100%. Sure there are busy time but they rarely coincide.
I think it's a pun on easter egg.
No, it’s just that 8 hours is the recommended amount for the average person. Your “chronotype” may differ.
I've had a similar experience to this guy. It depends on the number of days but I reckon 5x is average. It only takes a couple of days of the first week in a month to cross the threshold of 1x.

Also there can be a secondary multiplier if you have 2 gigs at once. So 5x becomes 10x if you have two.

I don't think most people who do this are interested in going at it this way 252 days a year though but yeah if one's keen to 500k is possible.

I just can't get behind ` <div v-if="unreadMessages.length > 0">` after years of React. At least with React it is pure JS/TS - No magic.

However I must admit, the css story within vue is more interesting than React and its collection of CSS-IN-JS libraries.
We are all so different about what we need for rest. Some need 9h, some need 6h. We all need to experiment. And many/most of us will not, or can not take the time to experiment.

I feel I can’t. So much to do...
This guy was previously among journalism's elite. He interviewed five U.S. presidents! Wouldn't you consider that robust?

People definitely vary quite significantly in the amount of sleep they need. I have some friends who can happily get by with 6 hours of sleep on a permanent basis. Whereas I need at least 8, and would happily take 10 or 12 if the time was available.
Eating once a day.

It's hard to imagine going back to the inconvenience of eating 3 times a day.
The illogical thinking implied in the article upsets me.

They are taking a model, confirming that it performs as expected on some examples, and then assuming that discrepancies on other examples will mean something. But once you obtain those measurements, maybe they just mean the model never worked. It's machine learning magic - you don't have a theory for why the model should be correct, so how can you learn anything from using it?
I was able to adjust my sleep schedule with just 300 μg of melatonin to trigger sleep. Whereas previously I'd sleep at 0100 now I sleep at 2200. Very useful.
A few months after seeking help for my mental illness, I had this moment of clarity. All the relationships that laid broken, all the opportunities that were missed. I could suddenly see and understand how my illness had contributed to these failures. How warped perceptions and erratic behavior just let to ruin.

There is this stigma around pills, in society, but also in my family. I would go to the hospital if I had bronchitis, but seeking help for mental issues was completely off the table. You get told to suck it up, stop whining, be a man, but all these actions really do is internalize and compound the illness.

If you're struggling with mental issues, and you're reading this, I just want you to know that it doesn't have to be that way. There is help. You can get help. It does not make you less of a person. It's just an illness, like any other. If you have a cold, you wouldn't think twice about grabbing a cough drop. This is the same. Seeking help isn't giving in or giving power to your illness, it's you taking power over it, and gaining control of your life back from it.

The reason I choose JSX over Vue weird template system is because it's Javascript after all. I don't have to relearn how to do if-else, for loops statement for every template language. But the css story of Vue is definitely better than React.
My mileage, with emphasis on the 'Handling'.

The practices that I am outlining have allowed me to function at an acceptable level however, they are not a cure for depression.

Meditation with a focus on getting in touch/accepting whatever is happening at the moment.

Working out, running/jogging in particular.

Resigning to the fact that living a mediocre life is not that bad.

Reaching out and finding kindred souls, friends etc.
Family, especially kids and wife keep me moving even if they are not aware of my depression.

Resigning from the self-appointed position of CEO of the world.
Drugs (anti-depression), regular visits to a psychiatrist, hobbies (Warhammer 40K), and regular physical human interaction (game/hobby club), and diet.

All are important, as drugs alone won’t help, it’s a holistic solution.
What you're describing is about end-user empathy than being "practical" or "clever".
From what I've seen, Java offers more tooling and handy utilities. Examples: Remote debuggers, thread dump utilities (and analyzers), byte-code injecting tools, etc.

I haven't done a lot of 'production' Python or Node, but I have heard people gripe about the need for some of these.
Can't tell if sarcasm ...

And, yes, that's often the reason parts of the world move to other things. Hopefully, someone saw an actual problem with the stack they were using, saw a solution elsewhere and moved. However, anecdotally, I often see people deciding emotionally that the Hip Cool New Thing is The Right Way To Go and that's what they use ... and then discover the warts are bigger, or the problems aren't actually solved, or the only thing different is the vocabulary.
> Nowhere does it say Jesus was Mary and Joseph's only child

This is a very weak argument. Of course, almost anything you imagine could be possible.

> These are all minority views in scholarship

You should read this article on evaluating argument from consensus: https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/5553

It does a great job explaining in what situations consensus should be challenged.

The evidence for and against these three examples is contested to varying degrees. The Josephus example is 90% a forgery. Let's say Tacitus and James examples are each 50% likely to be valid evidence for a historical Jesus.

> it's much easier to assume Paul meant Jesus's literal brother, since he used the term the Greeks often used for brothers

It's not. We're not contesting the words, we're contesting the meaning. James was called by his followers "Brother of the Lord." This could mean biological brother, or it could mean he was metaphorically considered him to be the brother or the lord. It's not clear or explicit, we have to admit this.

> But, seeing as you refuse to accept any scholarship done by Christians, even if peer-reviewed and unbiased, it's not surprising

This is not the case at all. I am happy to consider all of the scholarship done by Christians. I have looked at tons of work by Christians.

> it easily allows you to ignore sources that disagree with you simply because they were written by Christians, regardless of the quality of the scholarship. Your own dogmatic beliefs that Christians can't produce unbiased scholarship clearly inhibits you from seeing what you don't want to see. There's really no further point arguing with you since you'll only accept the evidence you agree with (Carrier, despite his minority views and often wrong claims) and ignore the ones you don't, often under the guise of it being "dogmatic", which is incredibly ironic.

You may think this is the case, but it's not. I would love to see new research from anyone that can shed light on whether or not there was a historical Jesus. I just find Carrier's arguments and research superior to those that contest his points. I have read extensively through both points of view. I actually came into this search with an open mind under the assumption that Jesus was a historical figure. I was surprised to learn of Carrier's findings and even more surprised by all the people who try to discount his research merely on the basis of it being "not consensus." I haven't heard many good arguments used to contest his work, just appeals to authority.

If you have better evidence for Tacitus, Josephus, or James, I would love to see it.

It's not just Rome, I saw this in other Italian cities as well. The tourist areas are well-manicured, naturally, but the outskirts of many Italian cities are crumbling.

By getting help from a qualified professional and seeking out safe places where you can share your struggle and open up without judgement (be careful with this one).

As with any serious health issue prevention is always best to the extent possible:

1. Get sleep

2. Regular exercise (cardio if you only have one choice but weights)

3. Meditation

4. Avoid toxic relationships/workplaces

5. Do not put yourself in situations where you are constantly stressed

6. But don't avoid challenges just make sure it's good stress (something you can walk away from, recuperate, and grow as a person)
Are you planning to reduce the number of brand names that you operate ?

Vector.im vs Riot.im vs Modular.im ? The FAQ of modular.im asks you to accept a TOS from riot.im . The website demo is on riot.im, but the hosted product is modular.im .

And when you write in to modular.im support, you get a reply from an @matrix.org person. Jobs are applied for on vector.im ...however riot.im twitter page says "formerly vector.im". Modular.im (your hosted slack alternative) page has NO feature list. People are expected to go to riot.im to understand features and play with the demo. In fact your hosted product modular.im has no links to even download the mobile/desktop clients.

People get surprised when I tell them about riot/matrix having a hosted slack alternative that is significantly cheaper and is open-source+E2E. I believe one of the reasons is that have 4 websites rather than one.

Not sure why this situation exists. It doesn't help when making a case for it in the community or company. Gitlab does this well. Please fix.

I don't think you should be uncomfortable with the idea of mixing your open-source products with closed source code (for e.g. modular.im migration tools are closed source) - confusion is the bigger problem.

You made the right choice in focusing on Synapse and letting Dendrite stall. You can build one reference implementation well and let others do as they please. You should do the same on the desktop client.
I have gone the other way, after using Vue at work for the last year it feels like such a relief when I get to go back to React and just write plain Javascript.

I quit caffeine and sleep so much better now.

Got a 144hz g-sync monitor, wondered where it had been all my life. Spent 15 minutes opening and closing the start menu and moving the mouse cursor around it was so beautiful.

Now paying for house cleaners twice a month, the extra time and reduced stress are well worth the money.
I'm pretty sure we're in the middle of the biggest revolution this world's ever seen. And being in the middle of it is blinding us to it.

I learned I'm more capable than I imagined. I was a mediocre student through HS and undergrad, and managed to talk my way into a really good PhD program I started this fall. All the other students were stellar students and just seemed so much more qualified, and I really doubted if I could make it.

I did well enough in my fall classes (hardest math I've ever taken, skipping multiple pre reqs) to move on and I feel I've found my research interest at least for now. I'm excited every day to work on my research/coding and honestly am 100x happier than I was at my old job even though I'm working about 5x the hours.

I was really worried from the get-go I would not be able to pass the hard classes. But shit, I did it! I feel I can just do so much more.

Sorry for the ramble haha.

I like waking up early because more than at any other time of the day you have a period of quiet that you can have for yourself. I lived in nyc for a short period of time and there’s a joy in stepping out between 5:30-7 and feeling how quiet the city can be.
I used to fill in gaps between consulting work with delivering people's food on my bicycle. I loved it too - It had a gamified feeling to it, and was like getting paid to go to the gym.
Uber gives you an estimate when you start the trip, and I enjoyed pushing myself a little bit on the hills to try and 'beat the average'.
The pay was miserable, between $10-15/hr ($7-10 USD) depending on whether you got 2 or 3 deliveries in the hour, but in a bike friendly city it was quite a fun way to spend an hour or two getting some serious exercise.
EXERCISE EVERY DAY!

Follow these steps:

1 - Get outside and exercise. (it's free, simple and has immediate and long term effects)

2 - Get out of your context, travel to a new town or a new country for a few days.

Cloudflare: Concise Christmas Cryptography Challenges 2019
I disagree with everything in this article, except maybe about saving a few kb in bundle size, and the better CSS experience.

Everything else is biased and mostly wrong. In terms of performance, recent versions of react with Fiber can achieve figures vue can only dream of.

The conditional in react is just pure JS. He could have written an if statement instead of the anti pattern use of && for a non Boolean expression. And arguing that the v-if followed by code in a string is simpler sounds dishonest to me. Or we don’t have the same frame of reference.

The main problem to me is that the author compares his experience with react in 2015 with his experience in Vue in 2018.
The author's gripe with having to manually bind methods is solved by property initializers, which have been around for a while now.

I don't buy into Vue being easier to learn than React.

This year I picked up and started learning React after some experience with vanilla JS and jquery. I first tried Vue and for whatever reason, non-trivial examples were so hard to wrap my head around.

The documentation was hard to follow sometimes, and I had some issues with documentation on other projects like Nuxt.js, whereas the Create React App and Gatsby docs are so good.

I tried React just when I was about to swear off front end web development, and everything clicked. I've never felt like I had superpowers until I started using React to replace jquery soup.

Nowadays, I use vue occasionally if a project is using it, and it's easier to understand for me now. I still greatly prefer React, though, and JSX is a joy to use.

at the end of the day, politics or not the only person that will get all the shit dumped on their head is the poor developer who trusted your product and took you as a responsible person with all the 39k GitHub stars and 692 contributors... if I can't trust that to be mature then eh... good luck reshaping the world with FOSS.

Good luck explaining dependencies to the client/manager and how "someone from outside the company can modify our precious little website" and how can you prevent that in the future lol...

> Either you make progress or get... encouragement to go find a better job

This assumes one has a job where you can easily replace it with an equivalent. Even in IT, this is not the norm outside of a few limited areas and fields. Most people have to worry about keeping jobs that arent perfect.

Frankly, this is the kind of "if it were me Id just be an asshole because being right is the only thing that matters, just don't look at my actual life actions" advice I got from my grandfather growing up and just sounds very unaware and privileged today.

Does it suck? Yes. Is there some act this person can do to change things? Maybe. Are there a lot of actions that can feel morally justified but arent, and are also really bad ideas to attempt? Oh my yes.

Do I think you are offering this terrible advice? Cant say...there's a lot of context we can be assuming differently. I can say that I dont see the take away from many of the messages on this thread being terribly helpful.
The key here is that many folks who claim they're the atypical ones are not. In the GPs case, perhaps they are.
