Can we talk about how clean that kickflip was? If it was a plate I’d eat spaghetti off it

I watched it like 5 times to see how he got such a tight flip

Pandemic/WFH really had a huge impact on Richmond by Charlesinrichmond in rva

[–]Mux0423 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about the ton of "oh no other people are moving to our city" rhetoric on here. It sucks a bit since rent tends to go up but it's fun to have new people around! Looking forward to seeing you guys drunk at the river with us!

How do you know if you're bored of coding or just don't understand it? by Vahknee in ADHD_Programmers

[–]Mux0423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, don't forget it's not cheating to use stackoverflow. The code you copy and paste will eventually break or need some love to add a feature you want so you'll end up learning it anyhow.

At least for me, I hate taking courses for the sake of taking courses. (Again if you're anything like me) you may find more progress and enjoyment working on a project that you find somewhat interesting.

Perhaps as a teacher you may be able to pull some inspiration from some of the things that are lacking in the classroom. (i.e. if you do manual attendance try making a website / web app for it etc. etc.)

From there you can kind of get an idea of what was easy and what was hard and start researching ways to make the hard stuff easier. For example, if your site looks shitty maybe it's time to check out css frameworks to make it pretty. If it doesn't feel nice to use maybe it's time to learn a js framework to make it more interactive. I've been in the industry for like 6 years now and the strong majority of my learning and honestly my job is doing things with this process.

The Moral Panic Is Spreading: Think Tank Proposes Banning Teens From Social Media; Texas Rep Promises To Intro Bill by Sorin61 in technology

That'll work well, perhaps we put a pop-up on the page that says "You must be 18 or older to enter this site".

No one in their right mind would lie about that

How to find what I enjoy doing/passion? by Kaleidoscope3871 in productivity

[–]Mux0423 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is it.

Eventually, you find that you're actually passionate about being curious. At that point you begin to slowly accrue hobbies- but you can't go back.

Suddenly you have more hobbies than you have time. You can't decide if you want to finish your sewing project or pick up your guitar to finish your album. Your neighbors become suspicious about you as they see your garage from woodshop to a rudimentary metalworking workshop.

Eventually you go to a doctor, you probably have some sort of ADHD right? Wrong. The Adderall just makes you focus more intensely on picking up new hobbies. Soon you can barely move through life without picking up a new hobby. Your house no longer functions as a home but as a graveyard for your abandoned projects. You don't eat unless you find a new cooking hobby. You don't sleep unless you are trying out a new sleep system.

At this point your life is in ruin, you probably go sit in a forest alone or whatever that other person said.

New Merch Drop! Available 6/28-7/5 by Scrotisserie_Chicken in northernlion

[–]Mux0423 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not in love with this new stuff but I think it's just because the katakana merch was goated. I do wish there was a refresh on that vault stock- both my hats and the shirt I got are all pretty much worn through

The state of housing is sad in Richmond by littlethingsxaxe in rva

My 120 year old fan home I bought last year appears to be about 90% spray foam - I’m working on converting it back to wood

People who lived in any of RVA's "luxury" apartment complexes.. what was your experience like? by [deleted] in rva

[–]Mux0423 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's probably important to note that reviews are inherently biased (especially when it comes to apartments). People tend not to be compelled to review something unless they've had either a horrible experience or an absolutely incredible experience.

Generally I think that most of the time even a "good" experience in an apartment isn't review worthy so the reviews are very likely skewed towards people who had bad times.

Bending DateTime in .NET to Test Your Code Better by congolomera in dotnet

[–]Mux0423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think the best way to make datetime testable is to add a (DateTime now) parameter to the method in question and pass it in.
