This person is straight-up brainwashed, lol.

good to see mark fighting the redux fake news in the comments as always.

false equivalency - there aren't slot machines in the office kitchen.

I'm making a trivia game using angular/ firebase, thanks for sharing your code, it will be great to look at!

I think they really dropped the ball by grouping Angular and AngularJS together.

What about the LDS influence. I'd be worried about moving here to start a family.

sounds right for a real estate agent hoping to drive market action.

Or you think to yourself "I spend all my time on the computer, it doesn't really matter where I live, I should go somewhere warm and cheap"

Well you could live in Bangkok or you could live in some shithole in florida for 3x the price...

50k a year in a city with similar cost of living as San Fran wow

if you think the market will go down you should short it...

XD I'm in providnece and I'm hungry right now and its 12:42

I am 25 so I grew up online during the golden age of internet atheism. r/atheism was still a default sub, 'The God Delusion' was released in 2006 when I was 14. What I came to realize is that I was essentially worshipping my logical analytical mind and believing that if I had a enough processing power I could think my way to any solution. Eventually what I came to realize is that the logical conscious mind we are always aware of isn't necessarily making the decisions, nor does it ever have a complete picture of reality. Once I believed that my logical mind was n't capable of truly capturing reality I felt comfortable training myself to believe in things that weren't "true" since nothing as perceived as the conscious mind is really "true".

And there you are lighting incense to an action figure with a mustache on it to help contemplate doing your own bike repairs (: .

I would recommend reading through the entire blog archive, all together it's about the same length as a book. You can skip over articles on things that aren't interesting to you, for example I don't care about real estate.

My personal philosophy is a combination of all the different sources I have been exposed too. My main influences would be the mustachian thought sphere (MMM, The Magic of Thinking Big, Stoicism), secular western buddhism (Buddhism Plain and Simple, In the realm of hungry ghosts, The magic of tidying up) Game theory probabilistic thinking (Poker background).

When I first started reading MMM I was already a very tribal person. The us vs them mentality really appealed to me because I was used to strongly identifying with minority tribes (atheist, vegan). After I started studying buddhism I've been able to let go of some of the tribalism of mustachianism , but the frugality and the powerful self belief have remained. This is an example of my personal philosophy forking from a monolithic belief system.

I also have a couple dieties I worship. MMM is the god of frugality and not being a wimp. RNGesus is the god of accepting random bad stuff. I'll spin up/down dieties to put on my altar depending on my current priorities/ needs.

I know recommending you a bunch of books isn't really a proper response, but a proper definition would be the length of a book and I haven't written that yet.

What I would recommend to everyone is to study different belief systems and roll your own religion. Our brain is designed to consume faith-y belief systems. It's arrogant to believe those mechanisms in your brain won't latch on to something. It should be something your consciously decide on and design.

Mr. Money Mustache started me down the path of exploring my own personal philosophy. I now worship MMM as a diety (MMM !== Pete Adeney in my religion). Thanks for the teachings Pete.

that's really sad. it's like they've been domesticated.

$47 an hour inflation adjusted for unskilled labor, that's incredible.

We could just stop our _massive_ subsidies for these industries instead of taxing them.

Yes we need to mandate that everywhere can be accessed by people sitting in giant piece of shit 2 ton internal combustion driven wheelchairs because they're too lazy to use their muscles. Total American cult of car mindset.

what you call a bug others call a feature. BW players invested a lot of time learning to manage their units to take advantage of those bugs/features. Starcraft solves most of those issues.

Video games provide value to the Capitalist class by sedating a historically violent demographic (Unemployed Young Men), more soma anyone?

i dunno how well this would work in practice, in my experience signing up for promotional email results in tons of junk emails with actual deals only offered occasionally. It'd be hard to parse out real value

General Electric Digital | Software Engineers, DevOps, Oracle DBAs, Technical Project Managers | Providence, RI | On-site - Full-time

GE Digital is hiring many different roles for our Providence, RI location. I started working here this past October and I'm really enjoying it. GE Digital is intended to be a “startup” within the GE organization so we have some nice perks not usually found in a corporate environment like casual dress, free drinks, macbooks, and the ability to work from home. You will have the opportunity to touch lots of different tech, I was hired as a front end developer but now I’m doing backend and hybrid apps.

Providence is a great city. There's a thriving arts, events and restaurants scene but the cost of living is much lower than Boston or NYC. I don’t drive and find I can get around easily with busses, walking, and my bike. Many of us that live in the city hang out together as well, in fact a group of us are going rock climbing after work today.

Here's a list of roles we're currently hiring for:

    -Software Engineer- .NET

no visa's, sorry

welp had a web app idea for amazon affiliate kicking around for past year, this is what I get for not implementing.

Playing starcraft 2 totally consumed my life from about 18-22. It was very similar to a drug addiction except I convinced myself it was positive because I would eventually be a professional. My addiction prevented my from working on the underlying issues that caused my to seek refuge in the game. It also left me with a host of physical RSI problems that have been a huge negative to my life + career. Although if I hadn't developed them I suspect I'd still be consumed by games.

In order to spend vast amounts of time playing video games you have to be at a certain level of privilege. I feel as if video games have cheated myself out of potential as well as those that my privilege obligates to help.

As with other addictions there are people who won't be consumed by it like I was, and prohibition isn't the solution, not sure what is tbh.

Really he is a skid? his aptitude at such a young age is very impressive to me.

25% rake is too high. Game should be playable in "fun mode".

phenelzine is an MAOI

Thoughts on strategy:

When the game first starts you want to make a straight line with room to grow on one side. Then when you get your first resupply you can expand your territory very quickly. Quickly generating surface area is really important because it gives you more vision and it helps disguise the location of your HQ.

if you have vision you can pay attention to the leaderboard and go for a timing attack when someones army count drops.

In general attacking is kind of bad because the inability to chain commands on offense is a huge disadvantage.

I'd love to play more but this aggravates the shit out of my RSI lol.
