Let it bother you, then don’t let it ruin your day. People are delightful and strange. 🤷♂️

You are very wrong about that, but I still never fired me. 🤷♂️
UPDATE: Downvoted for admitting that I, too, have battled severe clinical depression. Well done.
The only person who won’t fire you is you.
“Unsubscribe.”
This is not necessarily effective on its own, but it’s a way to find out what the situation is. It is a simple way to open the discussion about your lack of interest in what they have to say. Sometimes they just shut up.
The mere fact that we’re answering your question provides sufficient context to clarify the group’s intentions, no?
Yes, but that’s why there is a sidebar.
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens. Enjoy.
I relate to your position. You are wrong. You absolutely do choose to hate or not hate. This lies entirely within your control.
I used to have the impulse to hate them, but I don’t any more.
On the list you cite, emotions is the one thing you choose, even though it might not feel that way right now. I don’t expect you to believe me. I will cite Lisa Feldman Barrett and the book How Emotions are Made and you can decide whether you want to explore or not.
Either way, peace.
You might be able to find people who accept you, even if the average Brit doesn’t. People have strange ideas about whom to hate and why.
It’s complicated and I can’t pretend to really understand your situation, but I trust that feeling pity for them works better for your mental health than any other reaction, including trying to ignore them. Whatever you do, don’t let yourself believe them.
Peace.
I can both understand and relate to being afraid of them. As you wrote, they do real damage and they seem intent on doing more and they seem to feel it’s their mission to do so. From what I can tell, they have been programmed to see the very concept of progressive thinking as evil. Fearing them seems sensible, because being aware of the threat makes it easier to defend against it or protect oneself from it.
But how exactly does it improve your life to hate them?
Are you afraid of them or do you hate them? Those seem like two independent opinions to me, but I’m wondering if you’re conflating them.
I’m afraid of them and I don’t hate them.
När det gäller en effekt som är väletablerad av vetenskaplig forskning och som har tendens att skapa missbruk (där det annars skulle aldrig finnas) låter det inte bara som fråga om personligt ansvar.
Samtidigt är det sant att evighets scrolling har blivit ett “Best Practice” mönster och pga det är det väldigt tufft att undvika utan att helt och hållet kasta mobilen i sjön.
I am definitely keeping an eye on my electricity bill right now, since I have Unmanic running full speed and it’s about 3 weeks into a 4-month job that might only save 1 TB.
Anything at least 2 points higher than the best rate of return you are getting now.
Computers don’t directly understand the code that humans write. Humans find it extremely difficult to directly write the code that computers understand.
Compiling is how we convert the code that humans write into the code that computers can run. (It’s more complicated than that, but that explanation is probably enough for now.)
Different computers understand different flavors of computer code. Each kind of computer can compile the same human code, but they produce the flavor of computer code specific to that kind of computer. That’s why you sometimes need to compile the human code on your computer: it’s easier for your computer to know how to compile human code than for a human to know how to compile human code for every kind of computer that exists now and might exist in the future. There are some common kinds of computer and many projects pre-compile human code so that you don’t have to, but that’s not always easy. Also, some people insist on compiling the code themself, rather than trust someone else to correctly compile the code for their computer.
As for how to compile, that can be complicated. When you find the human code (“source code”) for a software project, the README often gives you instructions for how to compile that project’s code. Many of the instructions look familiar, because they are similar between projects, but the detail can vary a lot from project to project. Moreover, different human programming languages have very different instructions for how to compile their flavor of human code into computer code.
I haven’t used it on a project for money, but I have some tests in shunit2 and that alone encourages me to extract code to functions.
