Orb: on the movements of the Earth

It's on Netflix. So underrated.

And Blue Period, also on Netflix.


That is not as important as if they want to win.


This is also very true in the presales engagements by top consulting firms under "Digital Transformation". These presales teams would come and show, on paper, how great they are with the agile practices, devops, microservices, you name it.

However, it's a totally opposite story during the actual implementations. I've witnessed that it took a top consulting firm 4 months to provision a sandbox environment while being 1 month away from the first release. When asked about their proud DevOps practices, you'd hear excuses that are in the blatant lie territory. They knew they could get by by managing the stakeholders instead of really doing what they had promised.


Nope, you have to map them but they are very easy to do. You can use the suggested keymaps from nvim-lsp GitHub too (still need to copy pasta).


Remapping a combination of the windows key + another key like a backspace to Caplock gets the job done for me. Even shift + caplock would also solve the problem


I think meanings come from within and not really from jobs. All jobs have dreadful parts associated with them. You have to find your own meaning.

For me, I'm driven by rage :P.


Can you please give an example of some of your jobs where you found meaning from within?


Not the guy who you have asked but teaching, in my opinion, has meaning. You are teaching people how to get things done in one way or another. Or you teach a method, convey a message, something along those lines. Outside of that if working e.g. to solve something for a municipality, I think you have a more or less direct impact on peoples lives.


I feel you. I have a bootcamp school and was a teacher myself.

But it depends on what exactly and who you teach.

What have you teaches that you find meaningful?


I‘m teaching college students programming and remote sensing with python mainly. It’s giving them the tooling for the rest of their career in my eyes. I try to make methods clear instead of telling them what to copy and paste so they know what to do in case there is no instructor. It’s hard sometimes because programming seems to be scary at first but it’s rewarding if you see them succeed in tasks for example.


I learn and I get more confident. People from my previous job looked down on me due to many reasons. I get excited that I have more capability to prove them wrong or be better than them day by day.


I think the main issue I have is with the name.

3 is implied to be better and replacing 2. I'm not sure if the future we are heading to is actually that way but the name kinda led people to believe it is.


It's essentially supposed to mean the full maturation of P2P solutions that can rival the centralized web. A modern decentralized web, with finance included.

There are plenty of things still missing which make it not mature enough to do so, which are too numerous and esoteric to name. But one example would be "account abstraction" (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337) which I believe would enable communities to trustlessly share a single wallet (pooled funds/coins/gas) for various operations related to the service they're using. Doesn't sound like much, but would open up the possibility of some wacky services.

From my perspective, the end goal is to make digital networked vending machines that can't be tampered with. That's pretty cool, and there are already some interesting ones out there like PoolTogether (https://pooltogether.com/). What would normally be considered an obvious scam can actually be built legitimately with web3 tech.

Eventually some very very interesting EIPs will be deployed, and that will drastically change what's possible with "web3" - making it possibly live up to the name.


Don't teach him 'sudo' just yet :D

sudo papa buy me a lego set


Lolz, he knows how to get that without sudo already :)


Same for Thailand. News channels have evolved (in a bad way) to cover what the celebrities posted on FB or IG the day before.

Maybe it's going to be like KFC where it's well alive and lively in countries outside of the US.


I think Jordan Peterson said it that in order to have attention (to me this translates to focus) is to choose your sacrifices.

Your plate is limited, even your brain can deal with just a few things at a time (4 i think from most researches).

I guess you have to mindfully and aggressively say no to certain things or ideas, but that is never easy.
