Butterfly stroke. Technique's still terrible but I cam clear, may be, 30 meters in one go. Because if the nerve problems in my leg, I decided to drop jogging and start swimming again.

Even programming jobs are like excel sheets with extra steps.

I think this shit is self-perpetuating. To leave a job in good grace, most employees would give every other reason than low salary in their exit interview.

Then, they look at these interviews and come up with dumb shit like this.

For salary to not be a problem for someone leaving their job, you need to be paying them livable wages in the first place.

You have to download the original ROM and a patch file that the hack creator provide. Creators generally won't provide you with the patched ROM though. I think it's called IPS patching. You can patch it online by googling 'IPS patcher online'. Just download the original Pokemon Fire Red ROM and the rom hack patch file. Then upload to the online patcher site. You will get the patched ROM you can play.

I'm genuinely interested in this because even non-judeo-christian people from my country are circumcising their kids and they're encouraging me to do so too to my son. Any conclusive research on circumcision? I see conflicting information like it reduces sexual pleasure and also that it's not really true. That it reduces STD risk for both partners as well and that it reduces UTI risk for female partners.

May be not the worst, but as I grew up I start to see my mother as a prima donna with anger issues. Though we have a good relationship now, my childhood had always been at the mercy of her anger and ego. All my failings were about humiliation for her as a mother and all my success (what little there was), was her doing. She showed very little affection. I remember one time being sick as a kid and hyperventilating on our way to a clinic. I was scared and try to cling to her as we wait for the doctor. She seemed more annoyed than worried at the time.

She's also a typical asian parent, driving academic success at all cost. I think her being a somewhat busy single mother is what kept me kind of sane throughout my life. If she's a typical middle-class asian housewife with all her time being dedicated to me, I think I'd be a lot more messed up. I know that single mothers tend to have to struggle a lot, we do have a lot of support from my aunt and we didn't have to worry about food and a place to stay. We lived comfortably.

Some of her physical disciplinimg includes typical cane lashes, face slaps, hair pulls, making me kneel on prune seeds, twist pulling my skin and ear, etc. But I think it's her verbal abuse that really gets to me to this day. It was always about how other mothers with high achieving kids have good karma (lucky) and she doesn't because of my mediocrity. I get compared to other kids a lot and sometimes she said I only deserve to eat other successful kids' shit so that their success might somewhat rub off on me.

As I grew older and became, well.. not rebellious, but indifferent to her outbursts, she started to play the victim. A mother at the mercy of her kids' "deliquency". The last time we fought was while naming my new-born son. In my country, it is somewhat of a tradition to approach fortune tellers to give names according to the weekday the child was born on. I didn't care for that and gave him the name my wife and I agreed upon before he was born. Us having a child, a wonderous occasion, became about her and she started playing the victim with all our relatives.

Well, she had mellowed out a lot since then. I think it's because she started reading a lot of educational posts from facebook and the country's general shift toward more progressive child nurturing attitudes. I had gotten over a lot of what happened, but sometimes I still struggle with showing affection towards her.

 

It can be in the format of documentaries, articles or books. I would like to know more about this other side.

 

I have very simple needs for file hosting and syncing. The files are mostly small text files and documents. And I need to access them from linux, windows and android devices.

Just a simple SFTP account on one of my work servers is probably enough for hosting. I guess the focus is on reliable client side syncing. Changes made the files from clients should sync seamlessly with some basic conflict handling just in case.

Can anyone recommend your current setups and sync clients in use?

 

I've been coding exclusively in Neovim for about 4 years now.

While it's been awesome, one of the minor pain points is it's inability to render some complex scripts properly. I'm from Burma and Burmese script is part of Indic script family, which also includes Indian language scripts like, Tamil and Devanagari. Now, rendering of these scripts seem to be quite complicated compared to roman scripts or even to CJK scripts.

Searching around the web with my limited knowledge shows there's this term "complex text layout" (CTL) for these kind of scripts. Full GUI editors like emacs seem to have no problem with this since most of them just use this library called harfbuzz that implements CTL.

Now, I've tried a lot of Neovim GUI front-ends to see if they support CTL. Most of them doesn't work. The exceptions are the VSCode plugin (fully works) and Onivim2 (works but have some spacing issue). I'd rather avoid VSCode and Onivim2 seems to be moving toward some kind of freemium/paid model.

There are a few github issues like this that kind of explain the problem with Neovim and complex scripts. It seems mono-spaced sizing is ingrained into the vim protocol itself. May be it works on VSCode and Onivim2 because they're ignoring Neovim's UI protocol and somehow hooking up text rendering to their own existing UI?

Did anyone ever manage to get complex scripts working in Neovim?

 

Any one here has any experience with teaching 8 to 12 years old kids Linux?

 

My day job involves a fair bit of coding and I do most of the stuff in the terminal. But there is one sore spot that still bugs me to this day. All terminal emulators I've used don't have complex text layout support.

CTL is something required by Arabic and Brahmic scripts. I'm from Myanmar and Myanmar script is one of the Brahmic family of scripts. I've seen Indians also having this problem with their Devanagari script as well. I mean I don't need it too often but when I do, I have to open up a GUI text editor to edit.

I just want to know if there's something inherently fundamental in terminal emulators that makes it hard to support CTL? Is there even a terminal emulator with CTL support?

 

Over 10 years ago, I had this sort of a prediction that, with the massive adoption of a dynamic language like javascript on both client/server sides and test-driven development gaining a lot of ground, the future of programming would be dynamic and "feedback-driven". As in, you would immediately see the results of your code as you type, based on the tests you created. To naively simplify, imagine a split screen of your code editor and a console view showing relevant watch expressions from the code you're typing.

Instead what happened was the industry's focus shifted to type safety and smart compilers, and I followed along. I'm just not smart enough to question where the whole industry was heading. And my speck of imagination on how coding would have looked like in the future wasn't completely thought out. It was just that, a speck of imagination that occurred to me as I was debugging something tedious.

Now, most of the programming language world, seem to be focusing on smarter compilers. But is there some language or platform, that focus instead on a different kind of programming paradigm (not sort of OOP, FP paradigm, may be call it the programming workflow paradigm?). May be it comes with a really strong debugger tooling that's constantly giving you feedback on what your code is actually doing. Think REPL on steroids. I can imagine there would be challenges with parsing/evaluating incomplete code syntax and functions. So I guess, the whole compiler/translator side has to be thought out from the ground up as well.

Disclaimer: There's a good chance I simply don't know what I'm talking about because I'm no language designer or even close to understanding how programming languages and it's ecosystems are created. Just sharing some thoughts I had as a junior dev back in the day.

 

Just wanna know if there's anyone managing and supporting a company-wide linux desktop deployment.

What are the hurdles during first adoption phase, what day to day support is like and which software are being used?
