Setting it to the new tab page is a neat idea, I will follow your lead

I don't know if you're already aware of it, but there's a subreddit called /r/regretfulparents that is basically a public support group for people who feel similarly to you. You might find some comfort there.

I’m also ignorant of this, and to add a question on top of yours: is it worth worrying about robots.txt for personal portfolio websites built from scratch?

The entire relationship between an advisor and the the candidate is paternalistic, the advisor holds so much control over the student’s future. I’m glad I quit in hindsight.

Spiders seem so cool from a biological perspective, I wish I didn’t have a phobia of them :(

It’s funny that I took the parent comment as referring to programming languages, but it totally works for people learning spoken/written languages as well. It really is a universal thing.

There are many innovative and critically acclaimed titles in the independent game scene, though they are obviously judged on different criteria by taking advantage of the interactive medium. Inside, Disco Elysium, and Kentucky Route Zero, just to name a few.

Mainstream gaming is still getting there, but to me titles like The Last of Us Part 2 are on par with classic HBO shows like Six Feet Under.

Reading is an active skill vs watching something is more passive. There’s lots of pathways in your brain that intensive reading lights up compared to other mediums. And lots of studies show that you retain more information and building stronger informational connections when reading vs watching.

No one is telling you to stop watching movies or playing video games, but being a more active participant in a leisure activity can be beneficial every once in a while.

I’m happy that this exists, and now I’m sad that I’m happy about it. I need to make some changes in my life.

You should definitely try the default reminders app because it looks similar to yours. It’s very simple and easy to use, it’s one of my productivity tools. I don’t think I ever even open the actual app, I just ask Siri to make a reminder for me and then complete the reminder in the widget or from the notification. The only advantage I see from yours (based on the website link) is that it’s keyboard-navigable, so maybe you could emphasize that more.

There are plenty of free mac apps, most just aren’t on the official Mac App Store because it requires a paid license. I use mac exclusively and I pretty much only use free productivity and development apps.

This just seems like a review of previous studies, picking and choosing evidence/previous conclusions from tangentially related investigations. I can’t access the published paper but the article implies this area has been studied before, so I’m confused what this new paper is supposed to contribute. Is it just a literature overview?

I’m interested in getting a cat in the future so I’m interested in a proper study of this.

Either contribute to the discussion or don’t speak. HN isn’t the place to recite riddles from your high horse.

This must be why new parents always seem so bubbly and happy!

But seriously, that’s very interesting and explains what I’ve experienced. I’ve been in a depression since quitting my phd a couple months ago and not having a direction in life, but whenever I have trouble sleeping I end up feeling better the next day. Maybe I’ll trying utilizing it to get my portfolio looking better.

When you’re writing graphics engines (at least from my experience in OpenGL) you tend to write the vertex and fragment shaders in different files and link them when you actually need to render something. That way you can use combinations of them. The vs or fs extension is used to understand which one it is at a glance.

He’s been trying to name one of his products ‘X’ for the last 20 years? Wow. And some of his comments in this article are word for word what you would hear from raging teenagers who have nothing better to do than be angry. It’s so bizarre that people worship this guy.

I had no idea the economy was like that in Germany. I’ve recently been considering moving there from the US so it’s kind of a bummer to learn this.

“Strive for deep technical expertise in technologies used”

In general, how would someone go about this? Is it just something that should happen over time or is there a method/goal to strive for?

Because their work does not directly financially support the university in the short-term, so any forms of protest negatively affect their own advisors while the institution feels very little impact. There are still student unions and this is an ongoing discussion in the academic community.

Again, why do you claim phd students are "not assertive" with "impaired cooperation skills"? Or is that just a personal judgement on your part?

The responses on this thread from january did a good job of displaying the variety of phd experiences HN users have had: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34449626

From these and my own experiences, the results of this study are not surprising but I'm happy to see some published work on it.

> people who do PhD are not actually very assertive on their own and they have very impaired cooperation skills

Where exactly are you pulling this from? That has not been my experience, both from my research lab and from other students I've met at a variety of conferences.

clicking this link throws a bunch of warnings in my browser, and my university internet blocks me from seeing the actual website :(

I've looked around their website and the links people have commented here, but I've yet to see a video or image of the device actually working. I know it's hard to demo AR devices, but a simple video of a phone camera pointing through the device to show that there is actually content displaying would add much more credibility. Especially for $350 I need to see some sort of product demonstration.

Hey, I'm the author. I fully agree procrastination isn't my main problem, but I think it stems from my inability to regulate my emotions properly. I've started journaling and meditating to try and take back control of my brain. Therapy is also something I'm considering taking up again.

This blog started as my hidden corner of the internet to cry into the void (and practice pure css web design) which is why my posts are all so depressing

It actually went really well! It was sort of an informal review of my progress as a researcher in 2022, so it was a great opportunity for me to be straight up about my faults throughout the year. I spent a lot of time before the meeting thinking about where I went wrong, why I did what I did and how I will be trying to improve myself in the coming months (writing this post really helped with that process). Coming in with all that thinking made the conversation more honest and productive. I'm a lot more excited and motivated about pushing forward my projects once I drive back to college this weekend.

I'm also lucky to have a super understanding advisor who is invested in my personal growth.

Hey, I'm the author of this blog post. I didn't think anyone would even read it, let alone post it on HN. To be honest it's a little scary how many people are seeing this post since it's basically my 2am anxiety-fueled cry for help. But it's also motivating reading all these comments from people who've had similar experiences and are offering encouragement. I'm reading every one of your replies and they're giving me the confidence that I can be better and do better.

Nope, it's been so long that I'm indifferent to the taste of flesh and have no desire to eat it. I prefer my own vegan cooking over almost anything else.

Is Tim Cook really the problem? Apple has to answer to the shareholders and board of directors first, and Tim Cook can only stay CEO as long as he's acting in their interests. Maybe it's too easy to blame the system, but I don't see how Tim Cook should take the majority blame.

Hi! I'm a PhD student looking for internships/contract positions in graphics programming and rendering roles. I have experience with developing custom render pipelines, writing shaders and artist-facing tools, and neural rendering technologies like NeRFs, etc.
