Agreed, it's a bit sparse but setting it up was a lot of fun. Made me realize just how much work goes on behind the scenes for something like gnome to tie everything together.
On the plus side, I've gotten a much better understanding of all the moving pieces under the hood. It's also been a good excuse to migrate to some new tools which spark more joy than the old ones
Oh no argument there. I had a lot of fun reinventing scheduling systems and minimizing memory usage [1], and I have gotten Sway into a state that I really really like. I have customized modal Vim-style keystrokes, and I've created my own program program to look through currently opened windows. [2]
I probably wouldn't try to sell my parents on it though.
It'd be great to have some preset box sizes for some common games and maybe some pre-done layouts. Now that I'm thinking about it, some game elements would be handy to build around, ie a deck of cards or similar.
One of the goals here is to make it easy to identify existing code which would benefit from this protection and separate that code from the rest. That code is going to run anyway, it already does so today.
Playstation/Sony always a contender? They were the clear leader. The PS2 is still the best selling console of all time. 160M units to Xbox's 24M. Xbox360 caught up but the PS3 still sold more units. PS4 sold twice as many as Xbox One. The console wars has been mostly Sony vs Nintendo for a long time.
I'm less familiar with it. All I really know is that it was on the list of natural medicines that was decriminalized in Colorado. What is the experience like?
I’ve been taking doses of around 600mg ibogaine TA, every 6 months or so, bought online at the first place that comes up in google. You can experience cardiac arrest from taking it, which will quickly kill you, and I based this (IMO) safe dosage on some papers I read. Don’t consider me an authority! And there’s also certain gene mutations that can raise or lower your risk of heart problems, related to how you metabolize ibogaine/noribogaine.
(I have also tried microdosing, based on another paper I read about a woman with bipolar depression. But I don’t have much to report there.)
It’s tough to describe any altered state. But for someone who’s thinking it’s like acid or mushrooms, note that it’s not really fun or pleasant. Your heart beats slower and softer, your body feels weak and uncoordinated, and there’s little to do besides rest.
But the mind is so, so active. And it’s like an excavator. Just pulling things from wherever and throwing them into your mind’s eye. I don’t like therapy and find it tedious and unhelpful, but this feels like years of therapy squished into a 12+ hour trip. Has helped me a lot with my relationships, especially with my mom.
You see a lot of yourself. What’s ugly, what’s beautiful, what’s neutral. You feel somehow distant from your problems but close to your “self”, which makes it more comfortable to face things.
After it’s over there’s a glow and calm that lasts a while. Days, or weeks, or months sometimes. Sleep feels a little more restorative, laughs come a little easier, the dusty baseboards of the mind feel cleaner.
So these are the effects of the lowish doses I’ve been taking. Some day in a safer environment I’d love to do a real full dose. But even at this “low” dose, it’s by far the most powerful drug I’ve ever taken, in a positive way.
I think a lot of this stems from the code review tools themselves. Especially the "Don't just review the diff" mistake. Especially with GitHub defaulting to just showing a list of diffs and changed files. I'd find it much more useful if a review tool started with a class hierarchy or similar high level view to get a sense of:
1. What/how many classes changed?
2. What/how many methods have been added/removed/modified
3. What method signatures have changed
4. What changes are covered by new tests
"Don't leave too many comments" i think can really be rethought of, don't review style and syntax. Leave that to the robots. If you're relying on other engineers to flag style problems and linting, you're just wasting everybody's time. Set up linting and style checkers and be done with it.
A martial arts instructor does not tell you everything you're doing wrong on the first day. You would quit. And justifiably so. What an asshole.
You know you've progressed in their eyes every time they start bugging you about something new. You didn't suddenly become worse at something. Rather you got good enough on some higher priority thing that they knocked it off the list and replaced it with the next item in the backlog.
You should treat code reviews similarly. It's a journey, and we are in the middle. If you keep making the same comments on reviews, eventually they'll get addressed beforehand and you can point out something else.
