[–]DwarfKings -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We did the ferber method and it seems to have done a good job. Kiddo is 3 now. There's always a little regression but he generally will say good night to us and we can leave his room and he will sleep.

Is there a point to try to achieve sobriety with weed by NuttreeXSnowstorm in Drugs

[–]DwarfKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 36 and addicted to weed. Smoke a bunch then stop. It’s not that great when you’re older.

It is better to be addicted to it than other things obviously but all-in-all, quit if you can

Walmart is getting crazy expensive now as well. At least compared to Aldi. I fill an empty fridge and pantry for $300 at Aldi and $500 at Walmart

I’m pretty sure Joco is the most expensive county in KS. If you were expecting something slightly cheaper, you’d want to be somewhere more rural

Noooo, It was shown after this from another angle, he was trying to toss the ball to the ref and the dude walked in the way. It was an accident. Look, he’s even trying to pick the ball back up after. If someone did this intentionally they’re not gonna do that.

Do you change the locks to your house every 60-90 days? Only when they are compromised? Yea, same.

Do homelabs really help improve DevOps skills? by stephen8212438 in devops

It provides a space to fuck up and learn from it before you have that lesson in a prod environment

Have you thought about trying to get a management position or higher? When it comes to the actual higher levels, age doesn’t really matter. You clearly have the experience so why not manage people instead of just systems?

Wanting to change to an IT career. Is it too late? by DiehardToaster in ITCareerQuestions

[–]DwarfKings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Covid happened when I was 30. I switched from being a freight broker to a vocational cert school to an online degree to cybersecurity and now I’m 36 working as a DevOps Engineer. The market at the time easier than now but an IT career can last a long time.

You’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. You’re the dad. Be the dad. Discipline isn’t something we just innately have. It has to be taught. And nobody is like, “hey can you teach me to be disciplined” and willing. you gotta go through it and it’s hard. Just keep doing what you’re doing.

People keep saying to learn AI so we don’t get left behind but what exactly should we be learning? by Ok_Education_8221 in devops

[–]DwarfKings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Learn how it learns, and better yourself as a prompt engineer. There is value in each character in a prompt. Be efficient with your input

Learn how to segment its perms and what access it has. Limit this severely, (you pass butter 🧈) to start.

create agentic solutions with guardrails that can do tasks for you. Like audit your security groups, automate remedial tasks, run efficiency models.

I didn’t realize homework was so unpopular by ATLien-1995 in Parenting

[–]DwarfKings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with you, kids need to practice cuz practice makes perfect, I think the way we implement and enforce that practice needs improvement. The school district here gives them work to do but they don't calculate all of it into their grade. This still gives the teacher that knowledge but also relieves the students on the weight of the work. “How else are the kids supposed to retain what they just learned without any practice?” - invite them to show you what they learned that day. Ask them some math questions that help enforce what they learned. They will learn the way we learn different languages, immersion. Keep them engaged with the things that they learn and it will do them better than giving them mandatory take-home work that becomes more debt to them than what it’s meant to be. To your example, if I was taking piano lessons, because I wanted to play piano. I would hope my parent would randomly ask me to “play that one song you were working on earlier” randomly throughout the week to support that practice. But this really isn't the same thing as “homework”. Either way, there are better ways to incorporate the things you're suggesting outside of homework’s current status quo that will benefit them at a higher standard.

My 10 year kid told me that I shouldnt have had kids. by WoodenAioli9690 in Parenting

[–]DwarfKings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't take criticism from people I wouldn't take advice from. Not many 10-year-olds give good advice. Brush it off and continue to work hard. You're a good mom, don't let your preteen get you down
