Almost nothing in my career (13 years) was ever really fun. Very discrete moments. Only consistent fun I ever have is on my personal projects... Actually the more the things I'm working on on my clients projects resemble my personal projects (I'm into game dev) the more fun I have. Which is very very rare.

Time, as we perceive it doesn't really exist. It's much more complicated than what we perceive, as it should be otherwise we would not be able to live in society. Our brains create the apparent linearity of time to give us a sense of progression. But it doesn't really work that way. In my opinion, no evidence here, we could even communicate with someone that lived in the past. Because that's not the absolute past. That person lives still in another layer of reality. As such there's no such thing as past and future. It's just a construct from our brains. That's my view. Not affirming anything.

For me it was all about listening to a lot of people talking in English, memorizing the exact sounds and pronunciation. And then reading books out loud everyday. It helps that I have a very good ear, but it should work for anyone.

And it's indeed heightened consciousness and not merely hallucinations as in several cases people describe scenes and events occurring around them or even far away from them, that are later confirmed and verified. My only conclusion is that somehow our consciousness is completely independent from our brains, is connected to everything like a huge network, and survives death to exist in another dimension of reality.

If having a VM/GC is acceptable then C# is the overall best language/framework today, meaning that it ranges from good to great in everything: Web, Game Dev, Desktop Dev, Mobile etc. Otherwise there's no general contender. With C#, these days you can go for unsafe code and dealing with native code in safer ways using new/ish features of the language: Span/Memory, refs, ref attributes etc. Or just use good old pointers directly and manage everything yourself.

I have a pair of glasses with leds that pulsate light at different frequencies following a programmed routine on an arduino chip. You, of course, use it with eyes closed. First time I used it I felt pretty bad, but there was something intriguing going on. I tried it again the next day and it was amazing. It induces a state of very deep relaxation. As the routine progresses you get more and more relaxed. Your mind really changes from an alert alpha frequency, to a delta or theta frequency. At the end of it I feel like I did a session of deep meditation with mantras. So yes, this really does work.

Problem, is mostly with bad PMs, POs, Scrum masters and all the other potato heads, not Jira itself.

This enforces the idea, which I believe is absolutely true, that our identity, the concept we have of ourselves is actually a persona created by us, throughout our entire lives, built from our experiences, memories, traumas etc. It is not set in stone. It is a fabrication. We can change it at will. We could even destroy it and build a new one from scratch. Once you realize this, you can see how powerful this is. You can in fact do anything or be anything just by manipulating your persona and putting in the work to make it a reality.

It is. In its genre, I'm pretty sure it's now the best game of all time.

I'll probably die far more then in the previous games as things are going. And this is a great thing. This is now my favorite game of all time.

If language is just a means of communication. Then everything has one. Plants, animals, even a piece of rock. A rock may appear dead. But its atoms behave a certain way, following certain laws. As such it may communicate in some level as well.

I was in awe the entire thing. Best animated series I've ever seen. Textures, animation, lightning, facial expressions, overall effects. Everything is top notch. I don't even play LoL and I was left wanting a single player game with all the characters.

There was a reason for me to dual boot Linux before. There's no reason now. Windows now fulfills all my needs. OS singularity.

I use WSL2 daily for work. It's much better then using a fullblown VM, because it's much much faster to open and is completely integrated into Windows, and works seamlessly with Docker for Windows, which is now an order of magnitude faster compared to before. Soon, using VM applications like VirtualBox will make no sense at all for most use cases.

Makes sense to me. Thanks.

Maybe it could if left unchecked and mutating up and down ?

Probably because , for this case, comparing for > or < is faster than equality comparison. Which from my experience is true.

Absolutely agree.

Been using .NET since 2010. To this day I haven't found anything better overall (for my use cases). Experimented here and there, but in the end I always come back to C#. And it keeps getting better.

VS2022 takes ~5 seconds to start. Auto complete is milliseconds etc. Starting anything is a couple seconds max.

There's something very wrong with your machine.

VS2022 is an amazing experience end-to-end.
