Maybe try to find a Discord with an interesting topic. Or try gaming, for example join a guild in “Where winds meet” (free game). Or if you speak a second language try conversationexchange.com and find a language partner.

You meet people there and can write/speak to them. Also don’t tell them about your situation, just try to “blend in” (won’t work for conversationexchange.com since this is more private). No one wants to be bothered with the problems of unknown people. Ask open questions either about the common topic or about the other person. Try to learn about them. Most people are flattered when you show genuine interest in what the do/like.

If you want to meet people try an app for your region where people meet (meetup or something). Choose something where you either hear a talk with a get together afterwards or where people do someting together (eg bord gaming session, hiking). It helps to have something in common to talk about.

If there’s a cafe/little shop near you go there regularly. The staff will recognise you and chat a bit after some time. But please remember, it’s their work, don’t bother them to much. They mostly only show interest because they have to. But chances are you’ll meet other people there who want someone to speak to.

If you only want to speak to someone “to stay sane” try to get a therapist or call a helpline for that. They are trained to help you or can give you contacts who can.

Random people usually have their own problems and don’t want to hear about yours. For that you need to make friends which is a long process. To find a friend you need to spend a long time with the person and the older we get the less time we have. But there are also groups for finding friends in your area. It’s a common problem.

You can also volunteer for something, for example an animal shelter or a food bank. They’re always glad if someone is willing to help and you meet people. If that is to much, try walking dogs for an animal shelter. Visit a dog park (even without a dog). You’ll have a conversation in no time. Ask about their dogs. Say you’ll think of getting one, what they would recommend for you.

So don’t despair and good luck!

We all have hundreds of contacts

What? Really? Can’t relate.

I am not arguing against an effect system. They can help in certain circumstances. But none of the reasons in the article are one of them. Also the article is a bit lopsided because the real pain with these systems is error handling, resource handling like transactions or parallelism etc.

What you write about the “other benefits” profiling and logging is also not the reason to introduce such a system.

What does an api request has to do with business logic?

It feels a bit as if you just discovered the idea of effect systems and are now trying to justify to use it no matter what. 😉

However, I think it’s safe to say this architecture is effectively AI-native.

Lol…at first I thought the article wasn’t satire until I found the AI part. Well done.

Summary: Hey, let’s add another abstraction layer so we don’t need to mock these calls, but we don’t test what happends in that pesky database call, because we would need to mock that somehow. But now we need AI to handle the abstraction layer.

I think I’ll use this article as a basis for discussion for job interviews.

Thanks.

Yes. Same as: 225×2 is not 550. Well, duh, obviously

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading kanadojo.com (see the browser console for more information).

That’s not Pluto, it’s a scabby head.

You can’t unsee it now.

Just use wireguard as VPN and bind ssh only to that interface. You loose public access but I couldn’t think of a reason why I want other devices than my own to connect anyway. You have to make sure that ssh starts after wireguard though or it can’t bind the port.

This is not true. There are lots of places where ssh/vpn is blocked by a firewall while https usually is allowed. So if you want to access/push code while travelling it might be really helpful to have https access to the repo. That was the only reason for me to set up gitlab years ago.

I have an io10. It is not worth it. The 3D Tracking does not work reliable for me. The cleaning result seem to be good, but you can get that from a cheaper model too. io6 or something. The new brush heads are expensive, but good imho. Also the app only works for one person, sharing with different brushes does not work. Battery is not replaceable. Won’t buy again.

I can afford not to have a watch.

This is just stolen from a Terry Prachett Novel.

And he still does not know the difference between taxes and tariffs and who’s gonna pay them.

You comment sounds a lot to me like: One does not need consent, if it’s too much of a hassle to get it. Also they stole the content, so thats fine anyway.

I really would like such a wide monitor with double the height. I need a view a lot of documents next to each other. It’s annoying to scroll down all the time.

“wall” lol
