It used to be pretty meaningful when autocomplete was not as powerful as it is today. Only very serious emacs users could achieve fast and flexible static completion before LSP forced everyone to step up their game.

Now that everybody and their grandparents have LSP available (or even more powerful tools if you're using Very Professional IDEs), it's not nearly as much of an issue, just hit tab and never type close brackets again.

It's not that folks are averse to writing code, it's more-so averse to actually typing out a shitton of boilerplate and feeling the slog until you actually get to the juicy bits where you have to think.

I think beehaw is intentionally not moderated and controlled as a reddit replacement. There are lots of people who are looking for a reddit replacement - beehaw cannot be that for them. Some people get frustrated and speak out, some of them accept it, some choose to move on. The way lemmy works is also fundamentally different from reddit, some lemmy instances look to replace reddit by federating with everything, and that's totally okay. Beehaw does not do that for moderator and community health.

Hey, sounds like you're doing a good job already! One thing I want to add is to establish a boundary for the three different relationships you'll have with your coworker - mentor, personal, and working. You don't necessarily need to be explicit with him about it, but you should have a pretty clear idea where the lines are for yourself. This is so that you can be aware of when you need to be a mentor, when you should be a boss, or when you should just be another human. Of course those boundaries will change over time, so it's good to re-evaluate every once in a while.

It's also good to remember that at the end of the day, you can't actually change how your coworker behaves - it is up to him to make the choice to not say shitty things, be kind, and do good.

I'm literally sending an email to help@saveincels.org as I type this, while calling the incel hotline, and writing a letter to The Incel Whisperer at 42069 Incel Therapy Rd.

If camping is a problem, it's almost always a system issue.

There's some fantastic suggestions in the thread already, so I won't repeat any of them. However I will note that if you're particularly sensitive to flavours, it's going to be nigh impossible to get anywhere close to chicken without actual chicken. If you try a bunch of veggie stock and end up still not quite satisfied, I've found success redirecting a dish toward a different main ingredient instead - coconut, peanut, etc. - so that I end up appreciating the dish for without comparing it with a meat-based version.

another vote for segregating cishet men from everyone else (/s)

Highly understandable, and a really good point to bring up - there should be some way to relink history if you end up changing your birth name or any other ID so that your current identity is associated with historic documents. Git does this pretty well in fact, and that's probably a model that could actually be applied to a 'reasonable' blockchain system.

I don't particularly love having my birth name associated with all of my documents either, but if I could update my ID with a transaction and have it be linked to all my historic documents, I personally would find that an acceptable solution.

I can't think of a story focused game that fits any of these points... has OP played many story driven games before?

The actual idea of crypto is reaaallly cool: a decentralized trust system that enables incredibly difficult to fake transactions and records without the need for a trusted third party.

Unfortunately a lot of the implementations relied on 'capital' as the proof of trust - GPU work (money) and number of controlled instances (money) are two big ones. Which really all led them down the path of ____coin which is fundamentally incompatible with the ideal of 'no third party can govern trust' because suddenly whichever party that has all the proof of trust is now the third party that can govern trust and approve transactions. Someone can own a ___coin.

Crypto could have been a decentralised system that can keep public records, documents, ideas, etc. - it can guarantee authorship and date if a user is willing to submit identity information. Lots of actually useful functions!

I suspect they're talking about the desktop computer

I think writing is worth picking up for sure. It can be quite fun for one, and also I feel that my time spent writing has made it easier for me to organise and sort through my thoughts.

how do you even start writting and what makes an idea worth writting, where do i even begin?

I seem to start by riffing off things I've absorbed and wanted to expand on - video games, songs, movies, pictures, other stories, etc. etc.

fanfic seems interesting but also cringe so im not too sure as i said also what is the point of writting fanfic.

Fanfic is cringe and I think that's what I love about it: the premise is laid out so I can walk in as a reader knowing what to expect. A well written fic will then add enough spice to make it interesting and comforting all at once.

what is the point of writting fanfic.

I feel like the goal of most fanfics is to tell the story in a way that the author felt like it should have been told, either instead of or in addition to how the story was told in the source material.
