I think the idea is, most people could build a doghouse with no training, but you need planning and education to plan/build a skyscraper. If you want to write your own app at home, maybe no software planning is really required. Keep nailing in workarounds. But if you want to build a huge system, you need to do a bit more than workarounds. You need a good plan from the start to make it all efficient and in a manner others can contribute to the code base.

That said, I feel like just having workarounds is really common even in large industry settings. Maybe I’m wrong though. I’m more of a home doghouse builder type myself.

I will try. This comes up frequently these days with my Trumper friend, so this could be valuable to discuss here.

I think it would be fine for them to compete provided we can ensure a level playing field. I don’t know what that would entail, but studies should be done to get it figured out. Is it a blood draw for testosterone levels (maybe not… sometimes that’s naturally high for either cis gender)? Maybe estrogen? Maybe it’s number of years post transition, though I see difficulty defining the start.

Definitely a tough issue since if we get it wrong and be too accepting or not accepting enough, many athletes will suffer. I would love to hear some more ideas and thoughts on this. I’m tired of getting shot down trying to talk to this guy.

Headlines says Amish, so a phone should not be accepted. I stayed with a Mennonite before and she said Amish are no technology, then I think there was Old Order, which accepted technology up to like the Model T cars but nothing further, then Mennonites, which were essentially the same “group” (religion?) but the most advanced technologically, accepting all technology.

C sucks to write and take care of memory, but it’s nice for super efficient code for use on smart watches. Samsung ditched it (tizen- native apps written in C) in favor of wearOS (java?), and their battery life is now less than half what it was.

The point he was making was that it likely did. Imagine you are a leader and your uneducated peasants keep dying from stupid practices with meat. You tell them your scholars have discovered that pork must be cooked longer to be safe. They tell you they’ve always eaten it that way and it’s too dry when overcooked. So they eating rare pork and keep dying. So instead you write that God says not to eat that meat. Boom, problem solved.

Chaotic good alignment upsets my OCD the most

You’re good on the age. Everyone is different. My wife was more mature than me at that age and was also around six years younger than me. Best decision ever for me to ask her out and eventually marry her. Been together 15 years now and just had our first child and couldn’t be happier.

American History Tellers. I haven’t listened to many other podcasts so I can’t compare, but it feels like well researched and well told history. I feel like it is filling in the gaps of what was once my least favorite subject.

Probably should learn more world history, not just America, but I’m easing into the subject and America really has a colorful history for our short time so far.

Wasn’t there some kind of pod in another country that just has you breathe a gas as you drift off to sleep and the company comes and gets the pod and your remains later?

As someone who recently was wondering what my alternatives to Reddit were, then stumbling here recently, I think what we need is a good personality to do a 3 minute YouTube tutorial that gets out on Reddit.

I still don’t fully understand the difference between the two, but what I do know is encouraging. But it took effort to discover that difference. Reddit is apathetic. A three minute video may be short enough to get people to understand.

Just needs to show what it looks like (similar to Reddit with sync and I’m sure others), then a brief description of how it differs under the hood, and then how to set up an account and subscribe to a community.

I like to help support the production of new stuff to watch. This was great with Netflix for awhile, but I didn’t really like their shows lately, so I canceled them and got an HBO account. It will take me awhile to get through the shows there I want to watch. Then I will cancel and do another, either hulu or paramount or Disney, depending on shows.

I feel like paying for one service is a fair amount still.
