Web3 people need to talk about this more instead of all the FOMO scam bullshit they currently hype and which is tainting every reasonable human being against their ideas.

Because right now, given how long the community has had to work on the problem and we still haven't seen anything like what you're describing, I'm still inclined to believe that Web3 is all a bunch of bullshit.

These days i use typer (https://typer.tiangolo.com/), but docopt remains a fan favorite of mine for being just so darn cute.

it's a shame that the last i checked, there wasn't really a formal grammar for it and so doing a lot of the modern conveniences i like[0] is either hard or impossible, but the idea's still charming.

[0]: i want things like "ensure this is a path and it's a file and it exists and it's nonzero size and give it back to me as a `pathlib.Path` please" or "this argument must be an integer between 10 and 5002", etc.
Heads up there was a thread on men's loneliness yesterday, on an article which cited some of how men often are career/interest focused (among other noteables).

That's the set of programmers you know personally - this sample is biased towards more socially-engaged programmers (the more social contacts they have, the more likely you are to know them).
Thanks for putting this together. I could have seriously used it a few years ago.
It’s true that a killer app is probably necessary, but isn’t that what Web3 developers are currently trying to develop? It’s kinda weird to say “there’s no point in developing Web3 because there’s no killer app for Web3.”
> >>> import jc.parsers.dig

I think "jc" stands for "jesus christ!" because I just exclaimed that out loud thinking about the amount of time I've wasted trying to parse dig outputs, or something similar. Spent a nontrivial amount of time looking for lightweight tools to convert the typical "fwf" of coreutils style programs.

Definitely running "pipx install jc" immediately (pipx is great for managing python-based executable programs, avoid the mess of venvs).
I got married.

Seriously though, I'm mostly comfortable with solitude so it's never been a huge issue with me. I like making, I like tinkering, I like doing what I want when I want. I can keep myself entertained. I also realized this about myself, so I stopped pushing myself to expand my social circles.

That's to say I don't like people. I do. I like playing games with people, going to movies, hanging out, etc.

But I can go weeks before feeling the desire for social interaction (outside what office life provides). Whereas, I'm done with most social engagements in a few hours even on my most outgoing days.

That's my best attempt at answering the title on its face. I overcame it by realizing, like BatManuel claims: "[I am] lone."

However, as to the question further asked in the body: I've leaned into myself. I allow myself to be. I've learned that people only care that you care about them. Look for the "cool" first. There's probably something you like in almost everything. Or at least interesting. Everyone wants to be interesting, so be interested.
Netflix still runs the DVD service.
Article sarcasm aside, PMDs are becoming extremely common. There are scooters in many cities, and there's stuff like powered boards. Yes, there are a range of new challenges with PMDs.

Citroen has probably noticed the trend and is trying to get ahead of it, but is missing the point entirety.
> Currently, GlobalISel is within 1.5 the speed of FastISel according to https://llvm.org/docs/GlobalISel/index.html and they have some ambitions for getting it within 1.1 or 1.2 in time, so it seems likely that GlobalISel will close this issue before FastISel grows the relevant support.

Heh
I am asking myself sometimes to what extend CS-based work increases autism-typical behaviour, simply by enforcing similar thinking patterns (maybe). I kind of get into a "tunnel" when having a well focused day of code and feel like Im on the spectrum afterwards. Maybe this enforces this stereotype even if there is no correlation..?
Thanks for the wishes! I'll persist on.
cool, cool. it's from HHMI and is a talk on multiple published works but okay. thanks for taking the time to process literally any of the information I am trying to communicate rather than just surface level cues from random words. it shows in the deep discussion you've provided us so far.
The tragic formula based on my own personal experiences is generally: 3x = path to healing where x is the number of years spent invested in/suffering from a given experience. I realize it sounds weird to put it this way and no doubt other people have a different constant that they could apply to their lives, but for myself, it really is simply that time is required. And you will, for better or worse, never be able to part from your past experiences. The way you are able to emotionally and mentally approach exploring them will, however, change with time.
I would pay for a music metadata service that stored tags, ratings and playlists. It wouldn't even have to provide music streaming at all, as long as it could integrate with YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Dropbox or local files. Something that treated a playlist with the same respect as an album, capturing creation date, comments, tags, author.

If I lost my whole music collection tomorrow, I could recover the actual tracks from Bandcamp/7Digital/rip etc. But my custom tags and ratings that I use to generate playlists, and the history of saved playlists found back over 15 years, would be impossible to recover.
Thanks for pointing this out. I made the same realization at that age and have since then shifted my career more toward people instead of code.
>"But if you're just serving HTTP requests, just avoid it entirely if you can because any performance gain is probably imaginary but the complexity increase isn't"

I serve HTTP requests offering JSON based RPC in my C++ servers that do all kinds of calculations (often CPU consuming) in multiple threads. Works just fine and scales well. Yes I have to be careful on how I work with shared data but it is centralized encapsulated and done in a single place I call request router / controller. I reuse it among the projects. Nothing too exciting about it and no reason to be scare do death ;)
I love the idea of year themes but I tend to just end up picking the same words and find it hard to settle on just area so end up with something like 'Progress' because we all want progress right? but then what does that even mean.
This seems like a roundabout way of saying something that seems fairly anodyne: A F500 CEO doesn’t provide 1,000x the value of a rank-and-file employee, they’re just (debatably, IMO) 1,000x more scarce.
> "You have picked a bad distro and DE combo"

Ha! At one time I cursed those who threw this at me; now I know better, and throw it at others!

All joking aside, I really dislike Fedora and Gnome. It does have a lot of problems.

But, onto your problem: I would start at looking at the xserver logs, and ask about any recently changed settings/configs/options or updates/rollbacks. The logs are usually fairly good at telling you if something is !!!WRONG!!!.

Those are usually the most likely culprits, if the DE was working fine until all of a sudden it didn't anymore.

If it's a fresh install and right-off-the-bat it's buggy, then it's probably a HW issue (or the distro is terribad).

I would try xforwarding, and other built-in remote desktop options, to see if I could tinker around and get real-time feedback on how the display was looking.

On the other hand, if it's Wayland: I must yield, bow my head, wish you well, and withdraw from such an exercise.
Stop mind from thinking on other things while listening or learning
Anybody experience this while learning something or talking, listening, mind wanders suddenly to irrelevant things is this behavior normal to everybody basically I will not be in the present moment is this a symptom of ADHD I'm suffering a lot because of this I used to get bad reputation in the corporate companies because whenever getting the requirement I was suppose to listen properly and implement the thing as I'm a developer but I used to end up with understanding different things and this happened many times and also I'm an introvert and shy because of this trait I will not open up with my team members so that many things were unclear when they asked me "Are you clear with this?" out of fear I used to tell them that "Yes I understood" instantly and when I come back to my chair I used to assume things and implement which was leading to conflict and escalations. My fear was that when they asked me did I understand the requirement what if I tell them that I didn't understand and what they might think about me will they think I'm stupid to understand anything, dumb, useless. Did Anybody faced this kind of difficulty and how you overcame it..
Airpod pros sound fine. The originals sound like a tin can

Hearing even something like Bose is world's better, it seems to me like people who think original airpod audio is acceptable haven't listened to anything beyond the audio from the built in speakers on their TV

Changing the Bluetooth standard would not improve the original airpods which is my entire point.

Yes I sound combative, but only because this thread is comparing airpod audio against what? Nothing at all? The bar is apparently super low if someone thinks that original airpods are acceptable, it would make more sense to me to actually set the bar at a place with even decent reproduction across the frequency spectrum
Dark predictions for 2022+

Economies get rid of even more middle class layer. Ideally there is a bigcorp and a guy who still costs less than a robot.

Software developers, scenario 1) get paid x10-20 more than average, scenario 2) find a way to involve more people through some sort of simplification of their bullshit. My bet 95%/5% (thus I work for 2).

Neural networks cross few lines they weren’t expected to cross anytime soon.

Cryptocurrency becomes irrelevant because mass surveillance is a solved “problem”.

A regular person can’t understand the world anymore to have a reasonable voice in it.
Any bailout should be paid for by a tax on ride sharing service. The government had granted the medallion owners a monopoly, and then refused to enforce that monopoly when the ride sharing services came into service. It would be like investing in a liquor license, and then a service came along which delivered bottles of wine to a party, but the delivery person drank a thimble full of wine, and now this delivery person was magically a guest at your party, bringing a bottle of wine to share. The “Jeremiah was a Bullfrog” app connects partiers with wine endowed friends, all for 20% less than traditional liquor stores, with free delivery.
But how do you know a particular transcript is not fake?
> it made no sense to complain about loneliness because I am a brainy type AND simultaneously refuse to engage with other's emotions because they are not brainy as I am.

Reminds me of a funny story years ago:

I remember talking to a guy at work who complained about girls avoiding him like the plague, and they only talked to him when they had to cause he was an IT guy.

But sure enough, if you observed him for a few minutes, it was exactly like that SNL skit with Jimmy Fallon, the guy would berate and/or belittle coworkers for not knowing about technology as much as he did, even though it's not really their job.

The guy pretty much dried up the vagina.

And the worst part is that I tried to explain it to him and he just could not comprehend with all his intelligence, the notion that talking down to people just isn't sexy.
Yeah I assumed as much with the mail forwarding sort of places.

So yeah the solution is like you said in the last paragraph.

Most languages will do bounds checking for you. I reckon that one's mostly solved at this point.
Investigating around the whatsapp pivot, I found their old blog.

>So first of all, let’s set the record straight. We have not, we do not and we will not ever sell your personal information to anyone. Period. End of story. Hopefully this clears things up.

Heh... :-)
EMDR therapy works wonders for CPTSD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be really good at uncovering the underlying cause of the feelings you’re experiencing. EMDR is a nice supplement to disengage from or (more often) desensitize yourself from the causes of those feelings.

My own experience comes from dealing with sexual assault and long term abandonment and attachment issues, but I’ve found the experiences I gained through those two therapy modalities useful for dealing with minor crises or life-stage transitions as well.

Personally, psychedelic mushrooms also play a role in my own recovery and ongoing therapy, but they’re not for everyone.

Best of luck to you. I hope you find peace and comfort in the near future. We all deserve to leave the past behind, to learn from it, and to look directly into the future when we are ready.
Your past never leaves you. You just learn to live with it.

You change somehow, so that changed version can live with whatever it was.

After a painful chapter in my life, I fully changed my social circle. I kept in touch with a very few people who are "good" people, and who are emotionally mature.

I avoided reunions, get-togethers, picnics, etc. Doing this, I also punished those who were in the middle- not the close ones or the ones who aided the bad things in my life.

Multiple people have talked about doing something. I would recommend that very highly.

"A deep life is a good life."

Whatever you do, or whatever you are interested to do, dive into that. Spend serious time for getting good at it. Practice deliberately. Level up. Doing this will benefit you in multiple unforseen ways. Not just with your immediate problem.

For me, it was Mathematical Physics, poetry and literature in general, reading History very carefully. It made my life good.

Meet new people. At your own pace. Get to know them. Form new connections.

Changing geographical scenario is helpful. I happened to move into a megacity at that time- the people of where matched well with my personality.

Having someone to share your trauma who knows you closely and who has seen it all unfold is really valuable.

Finally, give it time. Be patient. Don't judge yourself. Be open.

What you shouldn't do-

1. Don't doomscroll social media.

2. Don't let alcohol consumption go over a certain threshold.

You could ask me questions. I will monitor my comment and answer if you want.
Another golden rule I found is to stop trying to “win” , that is a too competitive state of mind. It creates so much stress and you will forget the more poetic and sensual / analog parts of life that can bring much contentment and sometimes joy.

A bit of sportslike ambition is never wrong, just don’t overdo it or take it too seriously.
I too am resolving trauma from 10 years ago that I couldn't quite face
When working with a bunch of tabs and cycling thru them and wanting to close some of them based on visual decision means that you have to move your hands much more on macOS than on PC, thus ergonomically bad.
Dropbox did the same thing rsync did but made it so simple that my grandma who barely understands
the difference between single and double click could use it. There's a clear value proposition there.

web3 so far mostly makes things more complicated. My grandma (still going strong) is not going to figure it out.
Maybe we should search for products we're not interested in at all, just to poison usefulness of such intrusions.

I'm off to search for knitting supplies...
Sorry to hear about your parents.

I agree with your point about not harming yourself. After my first parent died, I tried to pretend like it never happened. I drank heavily to ignore the pain. Drinking affected my own physical and mental health. It was tough to break out of that cycle - it took about a year.

After my second parent died, I acknowledged the pain and tried to embrace the grief. I didn’t drink or take drugs - when a memory came to me, I just let it ride. That was a much healthier grieving experience.
That sounds like a calculation by poetic metaphors. There's always been a concern that mutations that cause greater virulence could shift death to younger people via a metabolism paradox like swine flu seemed to have. Death sounding drastic doesn't mean a more drastic genetic difference than the mutations so far.
Gotta watch out for those nulls :)
I suppose Ive been using ZFS in production for so long and its been so stable that anything that isnt fully distributed wouldnt be a step up for us. CentOS8 had ZFS in the kernel, I think debian still does (ubuntu file servers using AD and SMB does not work well in my experience tho), so it looks like im going to alma or rocky. I guess Ill figure out which file system we will use at that point depending on native support. There are other ways to scale ZFS too but I have also found trying to mix and match drives, machines in a production environment is going to bring its own issues.

There are essentially no interventions that can improve IQ, only interventions that reduce it.
I think there was probably a much greater correlation between computer science and nerdy people thirty years or so ago, which was progressively diluted by the steeply rising popularity of the field pulling in more and more less-nerdy people.
I just love the "Dependencies: None" bits so much! I prefer this as opposed to 900 dependencies.

Any genuine potential is totally obscured by the grift and the hype that comes with it.
> Pictures shouldn't be edited by default

This statement requires more precision. A camera sensor usually has more dynamic range than the display can represent. Lenses often introduce distortions. Sensors capture noise. The tint and color temperature of light sources vary greatly. Here's a set of seven images taken at steps along the path starting from as close as a JPEG can represent to the raw sensor data to a finished image that reasonably represents how my eyes saw the scene:

https://imgur.com/a/4paCKaL

When using a dedicated camera and generating a JPEG in the camera, a similar set of steps is applied automatically. There's no such thing as "no filter" in digital photography; even the "unprocessed RAW" is one program's opinion of how 12 bits per channel should be rendered at 8 bits per channel to display on your screen (as well as downsampled and compressed, in this case). There are often user-selectable profiles that each have a bit of a different look, much as different film stocks produce different looks (Fuji cameras actually call their profiles "film simulations" and name them after the company's film stocks).

So I think what you really mean is that you want the camera to produce an image that appears on a screen as much like what you saw with your eyes as it can.
Social skill itself is also akin to a muscle - it gets better with use. I assign myself "social exercises" much like physical exercises in order to keep "socially fit".
Why not? Tether showed that quantative easing works just fine in cryptoland.
Another variant: if you can afford to and work permits, temporarily relocate somewhere for awhile. Rent a minimal-cost place for a month+.

As one option, look into professional house-sitting (common in US, not sure elsewhere). Essentially, people with high end homes, who are going to be away for a period, who want someone they can trust not to wreck the place to just be there.

But essentially, just live somewhere else for a minute. For me it takes about 5 days to start living instead of visiting.

After my mother's cancer diagnosis, when treatment was in progress but surgery still scheduled some time away, and I had a job I hated, with co-workers whose morals I didn't share... I spent a few weeks in Japan and Thailand. (Mostly paid by reward points, long saved)

It was amazing how refreshing my view on my own life was, from a different vantage point.

When I got back, I quit the job, took some time off with the aid of savings, and spent time with my mom through her treatment. I'm not sure I would have realized that was the right path without the distance. (And it finally resulted in one of the best jobs of my career)
The funny thing is you are also paying at runtime in Java for all the memory management.
Honestly, I just prefer being alone.

I find that I get all my needs for social interaction through work and family, and even that can be too much. I have to spend large swaths of the day just being by myself, and I typically use that time for the things I want to do; reading books, learning Russian, trying new technologies. These are all solitary pursuits, and I like that I can do them in my own way at my own pace.

I guess my roundabout way of answering the question is that I simply got comfortable being with myself. I like me, I think I'm pretty cool. I know I'm not perfect but I have a lot of self love. Combine that with the desire and grit to always be working towards self improvement, plus a wife and kids, and I find that my day is filled to the brim with joy, love, and excitement.
Nonsense. Graph databases pre-date SQL. The relational model was created to overcome the limitations of graph databases.
Amusingly, most people are biased towards engaging with people more sociable than they [1].

Nerd culture idolizes the hyper focused and dedicated social maladept. That predates the common recognition of autism as a spectrum, but it fit into the stereotype.

That hero worship tells people that they're better programmers if they reject everything else. Not only is it not true, it's counterproductive.

Autism may be overrepresented among computer people but it's still rare. What's more common, I think, is neurotypical people trying to act autistic and failing.

Autistics do indeed need a different approach to a lot of things, but what most nerds need is to think of themselves as people who are fortunate to have a skill set that is well compensated even without being the 100x programmer who sleeps under his desk and eats only Soylent. That gives us the freedom to be interested in life outside of computers and jobs.

That's not easy when you have to see outside a culture that emulates a few highly successful individuals. Or worse, emulate the myth of their public persona without actually knowing their real lives.

The trick, I would say, is to stop telling each other that we're so different from other people, and that this is necessary to be good at our jobs.
Do countries really differ in this regard? Wich country are you, where it makes you a weirdo when you talk to strangers?

I think it depends on how you do it.

If you sit down in a cafe and start talking endlessyl to the person at the next table without invitation, then that is probably weird everywhere.

Imho, the "not weird" way is to sit down and while having eye contact (usually people look at you when you sit down close by) say something very short like "Hi" or "Is this table free?". And then only continue if you get an interested, friendly reaction. Would that make you a weirdo in your country?
I like this as well, but have zero faith in the wider public caring enough for that become the killer app. Most people do not care at all about Google/FB/Amazon owning their identity. It's sad, but true.
I think it used to be more true before coding became such a mainstream career.
