I’ll put in a word for my preferred sport here.

My super energetic boy has been rock climbing since 7.

Strength, flexibility, balance, self confidence, progression is based on solving problems, climbs are graded.

Happy to help

I had a less experienced person with me looking at some code.

I pointed out that a particular section of code is shit; just bad form, hard to debug and generally unpleasant to work with. I noted that the person that wrote this didn’t really know what they were doing, sure the code works and has been working for a long time, but this is not how we would do things.

They asked “wow, who wrote this?” I replied “it was me 13 years ago”; it is a great ice breaker, in a non-critical part of the system, new people realize we all have to start somewhere.

It also allows me to go over the standards we use, why we use them and how to simplify debugging.

I assumed that they are using some foreign keyboard.

Didn’t take long to parse the “th” from the symbol. Though sometimes it catches me and reads as a “p”

Great title.

Initially thought it was some closeup of a micro-fluidics experiment.

New one is supposed to have a 30 day battery life… That is amazing, my OG pebble is only getting 5 days now.

I’ll accept it

Well yes. A model is just describes reality, the tools used in the description govern how accurate the model is.

e.g. the speedo in your car, is a model of reality. Obviously it only models a very tiny part, but depending on the quality of the tool; it is more or less describing reality covered by the model.

This is a concept that has been discussed for a long time ; you are in good company contemplating this fundamental paradox.

I use Mint, with little customization.

Mint basically gets out of my way, I care about the ability to get my work done.

I also prefer the windows paradigm rather than the Mac paradigm. IMHO Mint does it better than windows now.

I run mint 22.1 and have a 9070xt.

I used mainline to install kernel 6.14, works flawlessly.

First of all.
Life has no inherent meaning; there is no grand plan or objective purpose to your life or any other persons.
Thus; what you choose has meaning is objectively meaningful (to you).

On a grander scale. As far as we know currently, we are the only example of advanced intelligence in the universe. We are almost certainly not; but we have no evidence at this stage. This is objectively meaningful; for humanity as a whole, if you choose to participate in ensuring the continuation of the only example of intelligence is totally up to you. As long as some people choose to continue the species intelligence continues in the universe.

It’s easy, stable and gets out of my way.

I haven’t seen the need to dostro hop for years.

Nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

If it makes you feel better.

I know nothing about you, but that is enough to make me hate everything about you and what you stand for.

Unless of course we can find a common enemy.

It depends on the distance to object. Also the distance between the object and something to compare it to.
