  • My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.

  • They are updating the app at some point, which is removing the watch together feature. I wonder what else may disappear.

  • The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive) - Brandon Sanderson

    When I first bought it, I got through about 3 chapters and then shelved it. A couple of years later I was looking for something to read, I saw this book being praised and remembered I had a copy. I ended up getting hooked and sucked into the cosmere.

  • Talent [Three Panel Soul]

  • You're right, DNA wouldn't make someone a pianist. But natural talent is considered a set of abilities people are born with that enables them to achieve success. It could provide the person with the right kind of hands, dexterity, hearing, and aptitude for learning piano to be a better pianist than someone without those things. That is what could be considered "natural talent."

  • There is merit in practice, but natural talent is very real. One person could spend years practicing something that someone else picks up and surpasses that person in a year.

  • What is something good you did or regularly do when nobody is watching?

    Jump

  • I'm so glad I'm not the only one that upvotes people being down voted for their opinion - provided it isn't hurtful to others. I don't want to find myself in an echo chamber, so I feel it's important for other opinions to be thrown into the ring.

    Is there a community that advises PC builds?

    Jump

  • I know it's not what you asked for, but I highly recommend PC Part Picker. Whenever I build a new PC I find it really useful for seeing other builds, as well as it doing the hard work of finding prices for me and checking compatibility between components.

  • Best app for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I use Boost for Lemmy (paid) as that is what I used to use on Reddit, but I've been seeing the odd message recently of people saying it has been abandoned as there have been no updates. It still functions perfectly fine for me.

  • [PotatoDog] Uh Oh

    Jump

  • Ahhh that finally explains why the spiders have items on them when you kill them

  • What's the funniest YouTube video you can think of?

    Jump

  • As an average OG ex-redditor, Lemmy needs to move away from it's base barebones UI to something like Photon by default, here's why.

    Jump

  • Perhaps a modal the first time someone visits that shows the different UI options and directions on where to switch

  • need advices

  • I'm in my late 30's and I'm a junior dev, having been in the role for just over a year. If you are persistent you can do it. From my experience it has been a hard and at times frustrating job simply because there is so much I don't know, but that comes with the reward of the eureka moment, where when something works it is one of the best feelings.

    Now in terms of doing a school, if it's a scheme where you pay for the training and they say they'll get you a job at the end, please be cautious. I have a few friends that went down this route and they say they were the lucky ones to land jobs, but in their groups everyone else was left out in the cold at the end.

    This was just my process but I did the Java MOOC course that taught me enough to get going, I was doing this at the same time as working in IT. It's completely free. For frontend learning I've been using Scrimba which has free content but also a paid for subscription, it has been alright and the way they merge the recordings with the IDE is good and the free content feels more substantial than what you'd get with Codecademy.

    I'm still just a noob at all of this, and there is so much I don't know but I'm happy to try and answer any questions you have.

  • Why Learning to Code is So Damn Hard

    Jump

  • Thanks for this, almost every day can be a challenge but that's what I signed up for when I switched to software development! I'll keep what you've said in mind and try to put it to practice 🙂

  • Why Learning to Code is So Damn Hard

    Jump

  • Over a year in as a junior dev and I'm still in the second stage. I did 6 months backend and now I'm now entering my 6th month as frontend. I still know so little, but I know more than I did yesterday.

    My biggest challenges:

    • I don't know what questions to ask when it's about something I don't know.
    • Having a rough idea as to how I want to try and solve a problem, but not knowing how to code it
    • Trying to retain so much new information on a daily basis and then remember everything from the days before
    • (What I hope is) Imposter Syndrome on a weekly basis

    I just keep on trying, try to understand what I can and ask for help when I feel I'm at a blocker.

  • Control

    Jump

  • Ctrl+shift+esc was so useful back when I learned it. I still see people press ctrl+alt+del and click to open task manager. Or alternatively (but not as bad imo) right clicking on the start button and selecting to open task manager

  • When the API changes came in on Reddit it appeared to cause quite a few people to shift to Lemmy, but not that many. I've said this before in other posts but the onboarding experience for Lemmy is awful for your average joe. From what I've read it was the same situation for Mastodon and that is why Bluesky took off instead.

    There needs to be a clear concise point of entry for new users to the Fediverse that empowers users to quickly customise what they want to see. Most people don't care about how the Fediverse works and its benefits, they just want to consume content.

    If I were technically capable and had the drive to do so I'd create a single onboarding site that would ask the user a few preference defining questions, chuck them on an instance that is relevant and apply some filters so they don't get spammed with anime posts if that isn't their thing. Oh and maybe show a couple of mobile apps.

  • What are you going to be better at by the end of the year?

    Jump

  • Safety razor is the way to go! Take it slow and let the weight of the safety razor do the work. It's so much cheaper than the multi blade razors too!

  • Software development. I'm still not very good, but I'm better than I was at the start of the year.
