I use an app called WeatherRadar - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/weather-radar-storm-alerts/id545993260
It shows cloud cover as well as rainfall, and also has a few other views I don’t use. But what I really like is the iOS home screen widget, which shows me my local weather even when I’m not actively looking at it.
Do you own a trampoline?
If not, there’s every chance that you will by the end of the day.
And if you own one already, it’s about to be donated to one of your lucky neighbours.
I got my first programming job in 1996. I still have days like this.
Today, I had a conversation with my boss about an apprentice in our team. Our senior front-end dev left a few months ago, and the apprentice has had to take on a lot of work with little guidance. Our team is very full of back-end devs with no front-end experience. During this conversation, we described our apprentice as “extremely capable but lacking experience”, and discussed the best way of getting him more experience. The conclusion we came to is that there is no shortcut here, but having good guidance from senior devs can help somewhat.
What I’m trying say here is that what you’re describing is absolutely normal, and based on what you’ve said, you’re doing fine. You have a little imposter syndrome, which seems worse than it is because of your genuine lack of experience… that experience will come with time, and days like today are the days where you learn a load from your mistakes. You’ll probably not hard-code things like that in future, and today you gained a tiny bit of that experience that you need - well done!
Well, that’s depressing. Just for a moment, I dared to think the pack might actually be closing up.
People see bitcoin/blockchain, don't know the difference between the two, and realise other people have made lots of money on it. Same people see a new thing which also uses (or in their eyes, "is") blockchain, and think this is going to be the new way to make money.
Where can I get one? I never knew I needed this so much...
I agree. I'm watching /r/ModCoord and it seems quite a lot of subs are going dark indefinitely - but we need the biggest subs on board to make a difference.
Advertisers are taking note, though, which is promising - especially if we can get a bit of steam behind the campaign to bring subs down indefinitely.
I think the point made in the headlines is pretty obvious. There's no benefit in being agressive when you're so much faster than everyone else.
I agree that the other point is more interesting. Especially the fact that those drivers he don't feel so comfortable going against, it's not because they're agressive, but becdause they don't (yet?) have the spacial awareness.
Got a verbal offer of a new job last night. Hopefully today I'll receive the contract, then I can hand my notice in!
Hopefully more and more will join the indefinite blackout.
Huffman's memo that dismissed the whole thing shows that nothing can be achieved with just a 2-day blackout.
From the point of view of the mods, there isn't really anything to lose by staying dark. It's not costing them revenue having their subs shut down. Hopefully most of them will realise that indefinite is the way to go!
I wrote this blog a while ago, because it was a topic which was confusing and fascinating to learn. Since then, I've had a couple of other occasions when I've had to do similar things, and I've found myself looking back at what I wrote and using it as a reference. Hopefully some other people on here will also find it useful!
Hey - refugee from /r/csharp here, looking to find a Lemmy equivalent. But this place looks dead? Is there a C# community on Lemmy anywhere?
What was there to watch? Genuinely curious - I would never have thought to do this because I assume that one minute there were jokes in /r/funny and the next minute it was just a message saying it was private? Or was there more to it than that. Good for you for staying up for it regardless - the world needs more people as committed to the cause as you!
I often found that on the bigger subs on Reddit. The smaller subs is where I liked to make myself heard. Lemmy, right now, looks to be a similar size to some of those subs, so hopefully it should be a great place!
PS - this is my first post here!
