US citizen living abroad. Not going to happen in one presidential term and the US has probably permanently fucked itself in terms of special currency/status/soft power ever getting back to the level it was.

I always wanted Alice 3 to be a Soulslike personally

That would definitely keep me from buying it; I can’t stand those sorts of games. I did like the first two, though, and still have the CD for the first one kicking around.

Is going to be earlier and waking just before things start heating up an option? Here in rural northeastern Japan, we do that to beat the heat of the day for work outside (getting up right around 4 or a bit before when days are their longest) and a lot of folks are asleep by 20 or 21.

Needs barbs, probably, and something better than tape.

OP: retired at 35.

It didn’t sound like money was the issue here.

I need to get away from the gun in my safe calling me.

Running away only works for so long. As the great poet once said, wherever you go, there you are.

I would recommend professional help.

The documentation I mean here should be in the repo and checked as a part of the PR process. I don’t mean it should be a manual, I just mean a readme should at least describe what the service does (it has such a generic name in my case that it’s not self-evident and is so broad in scope I don’t know what happened). The functions also have terrible naming and no comments to describe what they do. So, as a guy just coming into this team after re-org with no idea what all this stuff does, I was completely lost. They also changed which services which teams owned, further making it difficult to get knowledge.

… as someone in his 40s, this post makes me irrationally angry. Write. Don’t know what to write? Write something, anything, anyway until it starts to go somewhere. Read more, both authors you like/admire and maybe something you don’t to see what else is around.

I recently got moved to another team after my company restructured. Several repos have zero documentation. Most of those don’t even have comments on the functions. LinkXxxx(some args) like Xxxx to /what?!/ It’s also an over-engineered mess with multiple layers of abstraction. I can’t wait to finish figuring out what everything does and re-write (and document it) like a sane person. This code presumably had no AI involvement which I’d argue is even worse since real humans made these shit decisions. Don’t get me starting on their testing (and mostly lack thereof)…

Worker suggested using AI to write some documentation. Another coworker did. I immediately spotted a bunch of hallucinated shit. Good times. I want to know in my head what a thing does, how it works, and how it fits into the architecture. I can’t do that if an AI is just deciding stuff; it’s like a quiz back in school where I would memorize shit for about one week before 99% of it left my brain forever.

Nothing I’ve really noticed on my stock Pixel 6 Pro. It mostly sits on my desk getting used for Anki about 40 minutes a day, the odd message view when I’m away from my desk, and getting charged each night (with the battery manager on so 80% until a bit before I wake up).

Oh yeah? Well, I’ve pooped at a significant fraction of the speed of sound

I described myself as a coder for a while starting somewhere around '03 or '04 IIRC.

Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.

If it makes you feel better, Japanese has the same problem (and I’m sure other languages).

It probably varies by area. If a significant enough portion stops eating meat, it may drive down demand. That could drive down price, result in a one-time sale to lower old stock (if sudden) and then back to status quo, or have no impact at all (this more depends on the source and distribution network I think)

I stopped. Anyone who wanted to keep in touch with me was given other methods of doing that. Anyone else who couldn’t be bothered to spend 20 extra seconds? Not worth having in my life.

You need to keep working on language. It takes a lot of time to learn your first non-native language and then gets easier. As with anything, language-learning is a skill that can be learned.

That or limit yourself to english-language countries. I can’t stand people who move somewhere, never learn the language, etc. Japan has a ton and the government is finally adding language requirements to some statuses (though some of the worst offenders are English teachers who will not have any such restriction)

She can think all she wants, but I’d rather she not actually run.

People and land become “the stuff” and are abused and traded as they wish.

A guy I knew who worked for the County paper when I was a student did this on purpose.

“XXXXXX high school wins with Peters out” and the like.
