Ah good, so I can tell my therapist I’m no longer a nihilist but a quantum foamer.
This is great.

I liked it until I tried AutoHotKey.
Then I converted to that.
For those that didn’t take physics classes, or forgot.
In short, and oversimplified, the closer you are to a gravity source, the slower time passes for you.
The moon’s location at X distance from center of the earth, versus the distance from the surface of the earth to the center of the earth, is enough to be quickly noticeable.
Fun fact, I believe that GPS satellites must also account for this (given that they are just fancy time measuring triangulation machines) and they are extremely close to the center of the earth, compared to the moon.
The moon is a priceless launchpad for space exploration. In my opinion, that reason alone gives the entire surface infinite value until we can build larger man-made launch platforms in orbit.
This is the main practical reason that I believe that colonies will be founded. Its the clearest rational solution to the gravity well that is earth.
All of the cost of a launch is at the beginning, minimizing that gravity well unlocks insane space vehicle potential.

Well, one thing I do have going for me is that everyone I work with seems to talk me up to management, otherwise I have a feeling I’d already have been removed from this team and moved back to in-company-work. I just can’t seem to translate that to getting points.
Everyone likes working with me, but sometimes I can’t work out what I’m even contributing. If that makes sense… I just wrote it and it barely makes sense to me… just working through this one bite at a time so take this post as “thinking out loud”.
Yeah, it’s an anxiety / self-esteem thing I suspect. I’m working with medical outside of work, but I’m in a country with poor healthcare support and basically nil mental health support so we’ll see how that goes. I already have a significant amount of medical debt from going to the doctor for a stress-related vision loss… medical debt which I just ignore because I felt that a ten-thousand dollar bill for seeking medical help and getting tests was stupid so I refuse to pay or interact with the debt-collectors. For the record, the outcome of this 10k bill was, “Idk, doesn’t make sense, you’re discharged after we monitor you overnight.”
Anyway, healthcare tangent aside, I am too hard on myself. Meditation is the main thing I’ve found that helps.
Your thoughts definitely help, new perspectives are invaluable. I just have my one.
Ahh, I see. I had no idea. I’m not from a programming background originally but fought hard to get into a programming job from a closely-related field. The way our team uses them is to justify our contracting support, “Look at our developers, they did X points! You should contract more work to our company!”
So if point estimation is that poor, maybe I should stop agonizing over adding points to a task… it always feels like I’m broadcasting that I can’t solve a task when the points go… 5… 10… 15… 20… 25… etc.
Who creates these tasks? Anyone can, most of the existing tasks were created by people I’ve never met, sometimes people no longer with the company, sometimes people on a different development team, the tasks get assigned to the team working on “the product” that we support and then are handed out.
Alright, I never thought about the daily meetings like that, probably because of the context with which they started. It started because the guy who manages the points doesn’t develop or understand software, he just reports progress of the team via points to the contract-host-company (we’re all contractors on my team).
I’m not involved in any planning, I just get assigned stuff. As far as estimating how large the bugs are, that would be me, but I’ve only arrived working on this new code base three months ago so my estimates would be random guesses since I don’t understand the larger context of any of the jobs, nor how the moving parts fit together. So what I do is take a job, then just add two points every day, one of my tasks is well over thirty points at this time.
I’m not sure how task difficulty is determined or if it is at all? It seems to be more that they chose these bugs just because they make sense for a new team member to get working on something, but that’s just a guess.
I’m a contractor, so the senior devs on the team dig through the backlog and hand out tasks from that usually. They don’t seem like very important tasks, just usually have been open for a long time, current main tasks have been open two years and three years respectively before assigned to me.
Thank you for you PoV. I may respond more thoroughly when I’m less moody / exhausted. I feel like I’d just be a crybaby right now, and I am really trying to avoid that.
Yeah, I’ve thought a lot about this. Thing is, to advance to something else usually you need to excel in what you are doing, yeah? So seems like that isn’t in the cards, I pass out from stress naps almost every day at 6p, possibly due to anxiety which compounds the whole experience… kinda just hate waking up every morning at this point.
I worked SO hard to get into this field, and I love creating things… but nothing ever seems to come together for me. Decided to write this post out of exhausted frustration as my eyes burn… the sun isn’t even down and I’m so beat I just want to sleep.
Tbh when I was less financially stable, I had great luck with a lil $30 bidet that screwed into the existing water lines and mounted between the seat and the porcelain on a standard toilet.
No heated seat, and the only controls were pressure and heat but… to be crude… that thing had the ability to pressure wash about two inches of a colon from the outside.
Why would I need to strain? Tbh I don’t even push. I sit down. It falls out. I bidet.
Poop woes are symptoms of other problems, not problems themselves. Pooping violently (I am not an expert) means you are failing to address a root cause.
Pooping violently will likely be the cause of more problems in your future.
*Let me restate, everything in this post is anecdotal. You know your body and diet, I don’t.
Seconded. 8-12 hours at most.
All I’ve learned from this comment is that “you don’t know what you don’t know” and you’re mad that others are being open-minded to things that are unknowns.
You can’t factually assert animals and plants are different but “they just are” despite the answer being beyond the horizon of current science.
If you had said, “the lack of a brain as we understand it,” maybe. But you are too certain about unknowable things for me to follow your reasoning.
But that is the answer to the question. I’m not understanding the alternative. If the person wants to ask, “What race are you?” They should ask using those words.
I can’t recall a time ever needing to know anyone’s race. So I’ve never asked this question in 50 years, but perhaps one day? Idk, seems like a potentially insensitive question.
True. Then you are removed and replaced by someone who does what you won’t.
It’s tricky. I think its also important to weigh in that a lot of these captains and folks in executive position spent their entire working life to get to X position. It must be hard to walk away from a life goal, which I assume is what pushes them to, “do what needs to be done.” The lingering question remaining, “Did it really need to he done?”
Hey man, questions are anti-semetic. Until Israel kills six million and one people, try to be respectful.
This application looks fine to me.
