Lots of sophistry here. Trump’s reputation as a 1st class negotiator is the lens through which to understand. This is simultaneously many things and it’s best to view them as a negotiated package: - No foreign nationals: not subject to US l

Yes. Toxicity was meant figuratively. Another way to put it is… Burnout is your subconscious mind highjacking your body bc whatever you’re putting your efforts into isn’t worth it at a baser needs level.

by eldude 4y ago
Burnout is your body trying to save itself because your conscious brain is killing it. The solution is not to rest and then resume consuming toxins but to eliminate the toxicity. In order to do that, you must identify what is killing you.

Complexity in software is a lot like complexity in cuisine; most chefs want to stretch their abilities and create something memorable, transcendent even, but at the end of the day unless they’re cooking for themselves or friends and family

You’re agreeing with me. The solution is not rest and then go right back to a toxic environment but to eliminate the source of toxicity. Burnout is your body trying to save itself because your conscious brain is killing it.

If you read the parent, its emphasis is on no conquering occurring. Obviously I made clear in the OP that I feel the corruption of the GOP was included in that. The justification that the McCains, Bushes and Romneys are more corrupt is avai

Lol. Mitt Romney, John McCain, Paul Ryan, Bill Kristol, both president Bushes and Jeb, Colin Powell, Condeleeza Rice, James Comey, Robert Gates, Schwarzenegger, and literally dozens of Republican Congressmen all prove you wrong. When exact

Agreed. What led me to make my comment was more the name calling (“stupid” & “malicious”).

You may be missing the point. When you look past the double standard, the criminality (collusion, corruption, embezzlement, lies, favorable pardons and lack of prosecution) is disproportionately on one side. And of course there’s the tiny d

Casually state talking points as fact without citation. Proceed to call the commenter stupid and malicious. Projection perhaps?

Thank goodness Obama was scandal free, and good thing we keep catching Trump trying to expose all those crimes committed by Obama administrators (Clinton emails & Russia, Biden & Ukraine, Obama & Iran, Loretta Lynch and Clinton

So, dangling a pardon to solicit irrefutable proof of a crime by the DNC in lying about the source of the email leak and fabricating the forensics through Crowdstrike? We should surely go after Trump and not the perpetrators of the underlyi

Except it’s not extortion bc there is no threat of action particularly of the sort where one is obligated or expected by duty or ethically, despite your dogged perception that circumstances can entitle one to a pardon. Further, there is no

Lol. “Should be pardoned.” I’m not sure you’re getting it.

Lol. “Withholding a pardon” likes it’s an entitlement and not granting it indicates corruption...

Things get interesting when we cross the inflection point of having an abundance of lift. Once you can achieve X+Y lbs of indefinite lift, where X is the necessary weight and Y is the excess, then maintaining Y*C aloft indefinitely becomes

Can someone ELI5 why Python is more like rendering HTML than executing JS? This is confusing to me since much of node.js/V8 is C, yet AFAIK (from the title and my experience) it's faster, and I don't recall anything intrinsic

Not to get unnecessarily political, but there is almost certainly an analogy to be drawn here to American federalism and the state v. federal government interplay on behalf of their citizens. Taking the analogy further, the App Store trend

The article you cite disputes your claim, stating the quote was an unfortunate pre-scheduled pre-designed (it was an image with text) tweet that made no mention of the event whatsoever: "The post was not done in response to last night&

Meh. Non-enumerable. You can opt instead for bluebird's promisifyAll when you require.

I train enterprise node.js for a living. My recommendation is to just use songbird (which exposes the forthcoming promise API from core, built on bluebird), async/await and the async `trycatch` library so you don't have to worry a

Then you should look for micro-successes, and build upon them by ensuring they occur more. The goal here is to accumulate a momentum of success that spawns motivation, and avoid measuring success from an absolute perspective (e.g., small vi

To be fair, sometimes self-interest merely means bribing myself, like for instance with a new Macbook Pro in exchange for seeing a contract through to completion, or maybe an expensive bottle of whiskey. The self-efficacy portion is harder,
