And really, who doesn’t love json?

I mean protocol buffers might be more efficient, but json is nice and readable. Much nicer than XML for an example. And significantly more readable than protobuf!

Lifting weights is fun and feels pleasurable. Cardio feels like I’m trying to get somewhere but I’ll never arrive. It’s frustrating. I think it’s because I have ADHD and, well, most monotonous activities are hella hard to keep up for any period of time. Doesn’t help that I’ve been off my meds for a year since developing high blood pressure.

For cardio, I’ve tried different things to trick myself into doing it. Some worked better than others. I used to do long and hard warmups before lifting weights. Of course it had a negative effect on the weightlifting itself, but it was good for my health. To increase effort, I just added 5 minutes each session. Started off cycling 15 minutes at a leisurely pace on the stationary bike, and towards the end I was doing 45 at a much harder pace. Watching the average power climb up each week was fun, it was like a game to me. And the weightlifting at the end of it was the reward to make my monkeybrain accept the annoyance that is cardio.

Of course, then I had surgery (nothing major, a scheduled quality of life surgery, septoplasty to be specific, but I was told to lay off any exercise for 2+ weeks) and then a month later I injured myself. So now it’s been over a year again. Not because my injury was very serious, but because it’s incredibly hard to start, maintain, or re-start healthy habits with ADHD. Incredibly easy to start, maintain and re-start bad ones though -.-

Another thing is, pick a podcast (preferably something funny or informative, not depressing), put it on, and go on a walk. Not the same as running, but on a physical activity for your health scale, if being sedentary is 0% and running is 100%, walking is at least 80% if you ask me. Way closer to running than to doing nothing.

I understand the last bit is difficult for people living in unwalkable cities, but for those who can do it, it feels way better than most other forms of exercise, because you’re getting dosed with happy hormones while you’re walking thanks to the podcast.

Windows isn’t afraid of tech, but MacOS is? Give me a break, the Unix style terminal is the reason for using MacOS professionally.

For the training, I’d argue that you’re not trying to get different results.

Each time, the result is minor growth in whatever your goal is, be it strength, muscle mass, or endurance, etc.

But also if you keep running the compiler without changing any of the code hoping for the errors to be magically gone, you are insane. So there’s the same logic being applied to insanity in computer science

They are, mostly. I think Rider is the one that you can’t simply use intellij for. Other than that, it’s mostly just convenience features and debugging. Eg intellij doesn’t debug Rust, but Clion does.

Several. But everyone knows they’re most likely being used for money laundering. There’s no way those strip clubs are profitable on their own.

Not only bitter, lots of people here are dissing reddit like it’s a recent ex.

Some of those frequently repeated comments (well not stuff like “this”) are completely organic memes that have come out of that community, which most of us were part of, me personally for over a decade. Now we suddenly hate everything we were part of?

I’m kinda tired of the reddit bashing here. I’m not going to leave over it, but it doesn’t add any value whereas some of the other content has been excellent.

Carinfo.kiev.ua has been good for me for some marques, but it’s not like I’ve tried a lot of them. They’re manufacturer specific.

Why don’t you just start your own? You can defederate any instance you want.

I’m on lemm.ee but I’ve personally blocked communities I’ve found to be toxic, some of them were on lemmygrad. I see very little tankie shit. Took me like 5 minutes.
