  • This is a PSMA!

  • You need three copies of your data: the working copy, the nightly backup, and the offsite backup in case of natural disaster. I physically mailed a drive to my father in another state in case my building catches fire. You can also use a safe deposit box or give a drive to a friend who is geologically separated from your location.

    Notice: recent info suggests that SSDs suffer bit-rot when not powered. Not enough confirmed info at this time for me to go into it further, but please rewrite important data from time to time.

  • What's something you once had a lot of respect for but now have no respect for?

  • Wow, that's terrible.

  • Is moderately severe back pain really normal at 30?

  • Plus one for PT: my partner went from unable to walk to walking up and down stairs thanks to PT in a pretty short time. She had knee pain.

  • I had chronic, persistent back pain in my twenties. Less severe back pain in my thirties. The first, I linked to job stress. I took a three week vacation and came back and noticed my back tensing up from stress in the first fifteen minutes that I was at work. The second, I link to ergonomics. Once I got an adjustable desk (for occasional standing) and combined that with my wonderful Aeron chair, my back pain ended. The adjustable desk that I loved at my old job wasn't as useful as I'd suspected: I just had a shitty chair at work.

    I don't think persistent pain is normal (I’m in my forties with no pain). You should try seeing a doctor for a pass over to physical therapy. Caution: I thought working through pain in a workout was a positive and fucked myself up worse in PT. Tell your trainer if you're hurting when working with them. Also, they may not be able to help you identify environmental factors that they can't observe. No one knew that my job was causing tension but me. No one knew that my chair was hurting me but me (and only after the fact!). It might take a lot of introspection to locate external factors causing your pain.

    Stretching can help a good amount. I can touch my toes because I used to stretch so much to lessen back pain. Do research to make sure you aren't using improper technique that will cause problems (like asking a PT person). I hope you have good insurance and can go that route. Good luck!

  • I saw MSI live and they were great. Singer demanded cash from the audience to play an encore. Exactly as childish as it needed to be. Wish I had suggestions for ya.

  • I’m gonna say Tim Cook.

    The way he signaled his authority was by sending out an email to the entire company announcing that he was expanding the company's match program for employees who wanted part of their paycheck to go to NGOs. I thought that was a classy way of saying, "I'm in charge." I had a lot of respect for that.

    But his leadership with the App Store and regulators has been abysmal. He led Apple to make all the wrong moves, ensuring a (now active) fight with regulators instead of just making some small concessions voluntarily. It was completely unnecessary, but he just couldn't help feeling entitled for Apple to do whatever it wants to make money. I still believe there are people in leadership positions who would choose to do the right thing, but the buck stops with Cook.

    Apple might be worthy of my respect again when he's gone.

  • Job qualifiers in listings imagine a perfect candidate who doesn't exist. Don't let that stop you from applying. They understand that you can learn new skills.
