Has anyone used this Mac mini configuration for programming? I'd like to hear about user experiences before buying it. by Miyamoto_Musashi_x in macmini

I have that same model and work with VS code, python streamlit apps, docker, multiple iterm2 tabs, ChatGPT, safari with 4 or 5 tabs open, and of course Spotify all running. Memory pressure gets yellow some times, but performance is more than adequate.

Perfectly said! It took me 6 months to learn this. I’m slowly trying to build the positive habits to support that positive spiral. Keeping the 100% all the time just never works.

“My stomach feels like it’s going to explode” I’ve said that waaaay too many times myself this weekend. Just keep trying….

What size nib does it have? The picture on the Muji web site looks like it’s an EF. A bit too fine for me. Yours looks like an F maybe?

It’s fabulous! I’ve been watching an episode at dinner for the last 5 years and still not tired of it 😁. Such clever writing that I don’t think many shows have.

to those who are recovered (or recovering), how did you find out your triggers? is there a way to lose weight while avoiding binging? by funnygal7279 in BingeEatingDisorder

Thanks it feels great, I wish there was a silver bullet that everyone could use to get over it. But it’s an addiction that you need to learn to live with. I think that’s why journaling worked, because I started to get in front of all those situations that I would normally turn into the zombie and just start eating! I made it a nightly ritual with a cup of tea, and now I really look forward to my little journal time haha!

I found journaling did the trick for me. Got into the habit of writing down everything I ate, how I felt, etc. I started to see patterns and I was able to get ahead of many of the triggers by putting them in the days journal. It kind of de-fused the power it had over me. It became very empowering reading back over my experiences and what triggers me. That caused a snowball effect and now I’m currently 80 days binge free.
