Just in case one of them asks for a divorce

The alternative to CI/CD pipelines is to rely on human beings to perform the same repetitive actions the exact same way every single time without any mistakes. You would never convince me to accept that for any non-trivial project.

Especially in an age where you can basically click a menu in GitHub and say "Hey, can I have a CI pipeline please?"

No, the alternative is/was something like "make test" or "build_deploy_and_test.sh".

I think the 2 hours bit was the important part

Does it read like a canned response? Yes.

But it is not "forceful and rude" by any means and your interpretation is way over the top for what looks like two people from different cultures trying to communicate in a mutually non-native language using words on a screen.

Written messages can feel cold even when it's two native English speakers communicating over email or text and it's best to assume good faith until you see clear evidence to the contrary.

I don't think it even matters how canned it sounds.. it seems like a polite way to move the discussion to a phone call where some real communication can happen. I think that was a perfect response. Forums are not ideal for resolving conflict, especially if language barriers exist.

I was struck by some of the responses. "No I don't want to talk on a call, just read what I typed." If that's how you think then you're part of the problem.

I find that Yoga Nidra helps a lot. It relaxes all your muscles and also has nothing to do with "yoga".

You emphasized the word "minimal" but it cannot be emphasized enough. I think melatonin is one of those things that quickly backfires if you take too much.

I can confirm that anecdotally, taking those big 10mg pills did help me get to sleep, but also gave me some of the most fucked up dreams I've ever had the mispleasure of experiencing.

I wonder how much of sleep research is affected by the difference in sleep quality between your own bed and a lab. Even if you're on vacation and the hotel bed is of exceptional quality, your brain knows that it's in a different environment and would naturally be on partial alert, at least for the first couple of nights.

Now imagine sleeping in a lab setting, knowing that your sleep data is being measured. Intellectually you know that you're not at any risk but there must be some difference in the architecture of your sleep.

I have been thinking about this too, not just for the bed but also measuring equipment like pulse-oxymeters you would wear during a study.

Not just toxic, he's simply wrong. A 10X is someone who supposedly completes 10 hours' worth of work in one hour. If anything he was a -10X lol...

This is why steelmanning a comment before arguing against it should be a rule.

I would recommend everyone play their first OW game on the easiest difficulty, regardless of their experience with Civ. It is a fair bit more complex and Civ skills do not directly translate well to OW even though the two games look graphically similar.

Specifically by Soren Johnson, lead designer of Civ 4, so naturally OW has Civ 4 vibes. I will say that Civ 6 and OW seem to appeal to different audiences, so if you absolutely loved Civ 6 plays then OW might not be to your liking.
