Sorry but there's no excuse for crap code. If it's hard to understand then time is lost every time you have to work with it.

You shouldn't defend it by trying to assign positive attributes to it (its effecient. ...yeah). Maybe there's nothing good about bad code and we should use being called out on it as an opportunity for improvement.

No, lets double down on our delusions of superiority by telling ourselves that crap we wrote is somehow effecient in some way.

Im tired of it. Its not effecient. Its bad and you should feel bad.

Im working on leaving too. If Im a developer by the end of 2020 I'll consider myself to have failed.

The thing is I, along with every other person on Earth, am a good software developer. I just can't get anything other than these stupid bug fixing / feature adding roles. As I get older it'll continue to get more out of balance.

I've decided to learn how to build products. That means PCB design, case design, coding (already got that one), the patent process, etc. I'm done building things to impress employers who dont respect me at all other than my ability to write code. I'm making a run for it. You should too.

So does he just glide through books understanding everything on the first be pass? If so what a lucky guy.

Why not, and the first part of our identity we should focus on is not losing our kids in custody court. Not just for our children but for society itself.

Does a sniper rifle ever work? It sounds like ads aren't a good choice for an upstart with a new product (which is what I hope to be). Are there advertising channels better suited to people like myself?

Im planning on advertising for a network security gadget I invented. You said you're "useless" in other domains. That's not good news for little old me who is going to try and make the ads himself.

I've heard about testing ads for your various demographics before you go all in on an advertising campaign. But it sounds like there is even more to it.

Why do you feel like you would be useless in another domain? Surely you would do better than some geek off the street.

So if they are a macro tool does it make sense for me to use them when hocking my widgets?

Does it even make sense to advertise online? I know that sounds like a dumb question but despite being told that ads DO work on me I don't think I've ever bought a single thing online because of an ad.

If I want to advertise my product or service I'm afraid it will just be me dropping a couple thow for ads that no one will ever click on. Maybe then the ad company would blame me for not having a compelling enough ad and I'll have just thrown away my money. I wish advertising were more formulaic so I had a better idea of how much I'll get out given how much I put in.

Alternatively, maybe online advertising can work if you think outside the box. But I have serious concerns about buying $2000 worth of customers from Facebook.

Ubuntu Touch is 100% garbage. I tried it for a few months.

I vote woodworking. It uses both your body and mind. It teaches you to quintuple check your work before cutting. In programming, mistakes are cheap. In woodworking, mistakes are best avoided. It also gets you on your feet handling large/heavy pieces of wood which does wonders for improving core strength and ...gracefulness. It also gives confidence and the ability to shape the world around you.

Some downsides are the learning curve, startup costs, time you will have to spend setting up your shop, and sharp spinning blades. No matter how good you get there's always a chance for a mistake. If I were rich I'd using nothing but sawstop or at the very least kregjig stuff.

What's funny is I was just thinking this same thing. That is, this last election seemed really divisive! Far more than true differences. When we're fighting we're easier to control.

Do you think they can be trapped with rules? Won't they just use loopholes and write laws that benefit themselves? I'm not sure if our current governing system is up to the task.

If you're okay with using a game engine I highly recommend Unity 2018 Game Development in 24 Hours, Sams Teach Yourself (3rd Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0134998138/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tY...

One thing being a programmer has taught me is to understand a problem if you really want to fix it. Maybe one day I will do a deep dive in politics and economics. Then I could have real answers and better/more-informed discussions.

Looking at this now though I think, okay, there's more of us than them. Let's just take it and figure out how to redistribute it. But I know most of them are probably innocent and goood people. I suspect the real problem is our failed government. Does anyone have any idea how we can solve wealth inequality? Will it happen or will we keep slipping?

because they didn't have glass?

They also have drastically worse living conditions than everyone they see on a daily basis. This includes bad housing (often infested), lower quality more fattening and processed food, little exercise, reduced access to medical care, understimulation, a reduced sense of their role in the community, reduced freedom and energy.

We've all heard the idea that everything is better for a poor person now than a king 1000 years ago but that idea measures embarrassingly revealing notions about human wellness held by the person doing the measuring. I don't think we are measuring the right things is what I'm saying.

Wow, good job on the weight loss though. I've had this for years too but it's gotten worse. Or I've also become somewhat lactose intolerant. I always feel great when fasting (which I do regularly for weight reasons) but within 30 minutes of breaker ng the fast I'm burping again. Even fasting for like a week didn't seem to starve them at all.

I saw an article somewhere bthat said xifaxan should be taken for six weeks! So I'll probably try that next.

Oh also, weed edibles basically stop all stomach grumbling for me but they make me drowsy. IDK if they help kill the ... overgrowth though.

Well, at least there is no law allowing ISPs to serve their site more slowly unless they pay a ransom (I mean business professional tier).

Why hard?

On server maintain list of ips. Serve ip to the client-peer. If the connection gets spotty replace it or use direct connection to your server. All State exists on your server. Caching may be an anti-pattern depending.

What's so hard?

Using old tech is why Boeing lost space though.

Yeah, it sounds like we are going through a similar form of hell. How long have you been dealing with this?

Did you notice a difference at all? Do you think you'll ever be "cured"?
