Continuing gaming’s long tradition of dumb names for game genres, boomer shooters are first person shooters that don’t use auto-regen health (COD, Halo), in offline they give health frequently from killing enemies (rather exclusively health packs), and they’re designed to be fast paced, usually with a wide FOV, an absurdly high “walk” speed with no run button, and somewhat disorienting or labyrinth-like map style. They’re often offline, but can be multiplayer player-vs-player.
Even if the game is completely modern: Doom Eternal, Ultrakill, Dusk, Turbo Overkill, etc its still called a boomer shooter.
Those are really good points, and I appreciate the input. I could see why alcohol being on someones desk isn’t a problem, e.g. depending on the person its possible the bottle doesn’t have a “gravity” tempting them.
I’m going to guess that reality is somewhere between my points and your points. Notifications can be configured, but my grandmother isn’t going to figure it out. Having a bottle of alcohol on every person’s desk is probably completely neutral for a lot of people, but could be detrimental to others. Etc
I’m saying one of the big downsides has nothing to do with self discipline.
Merely living in a world covered in advertisements, living next to a delicious smelling candy bowl, living 30 seconds away from memes, rage-bait, doom scrolling, sports gambling, and other slop – just living next to those things are bad for our mental health.
Some sources if you’re curious on the research behind it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4731333/

I disagree. Yes there can be good intermediate steps, but deleting slop is not even half as healthy as locking a phone away.
Not just phone calls or texts, but things like typing an email on the phone and then seeing a text or having the GPS interrupt your train of thought by yelling “Continue straight for 5 miles”. Brains hate interruptions. Those are still going to exist even when the slop is gone.
Turning off the dopamine machine (not eating candy) is one thing. But Eddy was showing something a lot bigger than that; deleting his access to the temptation. He didnt know the code to unlock the phone.
Sounds good. Given its creeky all over the place, I’ll probably try mapping out the joists first. I’ll (hopefully) post an update after my attempt.
Thanks for the advice!
Blue heeler!
Yeah I’d say that’d be pretty tough with carpet
Nope, unfortunately
For a post that sparks good answers that I’m happy to see, I’m sad to see the post itself have so many down votes.
I get this, but
Why not say “I get this, and …” ?
I don’t think the idea of a learn-as-you-go editor goes against the idea of watching skilled devs with their favorite tool
Go to Twitch/YouTube. Watch a senior Vim/Jetbrains/Emacs/VS Code/Helix dev churn out code for a hackathon/advent-of-code, and see what you are (or are not!) missing out on.
If you have “how the hell did they just do that” moments, figure out what that feature is, and STEAL IT. If its too hard to steal, then maybe you are being limited by your editor. Base your “fear of missing out” on what you see rather than random people tossing their opinions around. Only you can answer “how much is that feature worth to me and my workflows?”
Once you’re >25 this is just a flex
Usually you can just google tiktok downloader, paste in the url and download it. Its possible those services have died since I last checked though.

Yeah I wish there was a way to contribute to the hosting with torrent-like seeding. My phone can seed a torrent, but its not going to host an instance.
1 like = seed for 1 month seems like an interesting model
Why not both?
Its a tough problem. You have to find something that you want to exist; like an app or a website or a game. For example, try making a GUI for managing SSH keys. You know, like the ones github makes you create in order to clone and push to a repo. Make a visual representation of those keys (stored in the .ssh folder), and tools to add/delete them.
Along the way you’ll find tons of missing things, tools that should exist but don’t. Those are the “real” projects that will really expand your capabilities as a developer.
For example, I was coding in python and wanted to make a function that caches the output because the code was inherently slow.
Oh I think you absolutely nailed it. I just meant its not just two separate words. Like the difference between a game with action and adventure" and an “action-adventure game”
