I had terrible brain zaps on Strattera and didn't notice anything at all in regard to benefits. Probably because I just could not get through taking it long enough.

I'm nearing my 40s. In my mid-twenties I was diagnosed and over the next couple of years tried all of the usual ADHD meds and none of them were short of terrible in regard to side effects. I guess I've just learned to live with it

I still can't figure out what the appeal of WoW was, but I'm guessing it was the insanely large community?

I absolutely drop quite a bit of guard if PP G&S is an option. A lot of that being because I have been on the other side (seller, selling digital goods such as dev and design) and have seen how quick PP is to yank those funds back. Is t

That's great to hear. I guess what was in the forefront of my mind were how those relationships carry over after your time with that organization is through. There are a group of us that "started together" ~15 years ago that

I have been remote working for the past ~5 years or so. I had to RTO briefly for 3-4 weeks, which was about as long as it took me to find a position with a new org. I love the benefits at this stage in my life (young children, etc.) but I&#

The GUI builder was more powerful than the one provided by VS, from what I remember (20+ years ago since I've dabbled in it). I really miss that era. In certain circles you could open an application and almost get a sense as to who bui

When I got interested in flying I took to flight simulators and the VATSIM network[0], as I had seen mentioned multiple times that the radio work can be a difficult aspect of flying to pick up on when flying out of a towered/busy field

As stated in voxic11's comment, that is not what it did. It did more like a 34 DTM. Is that what it was asked to do? If it was, sure - the onus of accountability should be shifted to the law enforcement agency that decided to act in th

> as much as I dislike Flock, it seems like it wasn't at fault here. 34DTM != 34DTM10

by scrapcode 1mo ago
I am absolutely biased, but there is a lot of attempt to shift or at least share the blame here and not a lot of accountability. Flock themselves mis-translated the plate, plain and simple, and should not be being used in production for ale

I understand contributing at least the amount an employer will match, and almost always much more than that. But to "max" it would be $24,500/yr which for many if feasible at all would leave little go into different investmen

Right, so you max your 401k instead of diversifying a portion into something more liquid, and when something happens before 55 you have to take a major bite out of it just to access that money?

by scrapcode 2mo ago
I never personally liked the blanket advice to "Max your 401k." For most, if achievable at all, that would be the most they can invest at all. Even though it is often recommended alongside a proper "emergency fund," that

> So it is possible, for example, for a teenager to become known as an obsessive proof-checker even though that teenager has no formal credentials. Hard to cry this as a benefit after locking papers down behind a costly wall for decades.

It basically ended up with me learning that what is mostly pursued is the sharing part of piracy, and not doing that. I got in a bit of trouble by my parents at the time and probably just stopped pirating stuff for a bit. No more issues fro

I feel like there's a responsibility to go into VPNs a bit more. My parents got a mean sounding legal letter from our ISP when I was younger for seeding Scooby Doo. It was both terrifying for me and my parents thought it was much more

Also a lot of those are common words that take on a different persona and depth within the field, which can add to confusion.

Ah, I didn't realize (nor that it was possible) they made a shittier version of the Ranger.

Even before SO most of the forums were the same way. You had grumpy ass holier-than-thou guys with 10,000 posts shutting down your questions before anyone else could answer. The whole damn business model of a forum was to provide a solution

Similar competition (Nissan Frontier, Ford Ranger, etc.) would start at around $35k these days.

Tale as old as time. When I was coming up it took a $20-40/m investment to get a "dedicated" server that you could start tinkering around on. When you couldn't afford that, you bricked the family PC trying to figure out

I never made it to any hackercons, and haven't kept up with many of the folks I "ran" with back in the day (before social media). And I'm not really sure if I would even remember their handles and such if I saw them toda

I guess I'm just an old man pumping my fist and yelling at the clouds at this point, but I think compartmentalizing every possible aspect of development and then making each one of those as complex as possible lead AI in the bureaucrat

> The layer of builders and hackers is still there. Further underground indeed. It's obvious dev for a career and dev as historical dev are already two wildly different things. My fire was certainly extinguished quite a while ago.
