Did anyone actually need a scrum master, ever?

Yes I live in the EU where we have SSI, I was more referring to all the magical and fuzzy thinking surrounding it on that page.

This reads like some kind of Sovereign Citizen / Time Cube babble.

I really think doing contracting and changing jobs every year for the first ten years of my tech career (receiving a raise and promotion every time) was the biggest single factor to my success. It ensured progression and allowed the dice to be rerolled, which is a great way to think about it.

They should simply meditate on how Apple knows best and come to enjoy the feng shui of the crack, reflecting on its dorito crumb nature as a metaphor for the impermanence and fundamental cheesiness of us all.

In fact, if anything they should really have to pay more money for the opportunity to receive this enlightenment.

This must include things like checking/replying to emails after waking up or before falling asleep.

Is there a consensus best pick for home office chair at this point?

I find it’s a bit dated now, at a high level interesting but he really zooms in on the details until it becomes a kind of nonsense. It was interesting to read and think about when it came out, but I don’t really think it is correct, predicts anything in any meaningful way, or even provides a coherent strategy to manipulate others if that’s the path you want to go down in the first place.

Probably just run into one too many incels on the internet with similar points of view that I am reading into this.

I didn’t get the sense that the post I replied to was concerned with love or personality traits for their mating procedure as described. It was a list of physical attributes or tolerances like you might have for an object like a wrench or car.

It reads to me more like technical specs for a sex doll or maybe dating simulator software, but I guess everyone is different.

A good way to learn game engines is to build a series of games that only require you to learn a few new things with each iteration. The same way you wouldn’t roll your own game engine that has all the features of Godot on your first try.

Exactly, working at a low level still means that “the programmer operates as a mediator between people having different ideas”. The different people are just hardware builders instead of library writers.

Are you talking about human relationships or some kind of device or program you are interacting with? Hard to tell from the way you are describing them here.

Wow, that is amazing.

Same, playing a lot of this game once gave me a sort of dizzy feeling while looking up at the blue sky, like I was looking forward/out rather than up. Only happened once, but I will never forget it.

A random person doing it for the lulz is already likely to get away with it, at least for a while. No need to do that much prep.

What is the broker’s motive?

A real life pro tip is to turn off desktop notifications for chat messages so this sort of thing is impossible.

Can’t say I really agree that everyone needs their camera on all the time, or that chit chat should be eliminated.

This person should try some % of async remote and then rewrite their post, it comes across as probably well intentioned but a bit inexperienced.

Great news for Deltaglider pilots everywhere.

Infect is definitely the right word here.

I had a similar thought that this would require quite a lot of complicated drilling equipment.

This would be easy to test, do less prudish countries have less porn addiction?

I live in a place where sex isn’t taboo (paid or not), there are social clubs although I am not sure what the connection is there, and we still have pornography technology that sometimes people get compulsive about. Before this, I lived a rural lifestyle and there was also access to porn there.

This app also doesn’t seem to work as an intervention, it is something the person themselves chooses to use or not.

> Sex existed before mass media

Reading the comment you are replying to, I don’t think they were trying to say it didn’t, but that it’s different now (for the reasons they enumerated)

Ha, not necessarily, but just curious what the subculture or connection is.

I have noticed on social media that the cynical, assholes, grumpy, and those that want to take others down a peg are quite loud but in the minority. Typically when you run into one they have a comment history where they are just being a jerk all day every day to all comers. Normal people have good or bad days and it might come out in different ways on different days, but there is a surprising number of people out there just being hateful on the internet all day like it’s their job.

And the vast majority of them have statues of philosophers as their avatars, which I still don't quite get.
