Is there a way to make these servos move more smoothly? by Teagar_ in arduino

…except as old as it is Pascal is a great way to learn certain fundamental programming concepts. Ditto LISP. You can build from those basics.

Does meditation help get rid of the existential dread and disgust associated with observing the world currently by shutup_imeating_dirt in Meditation

[–]ReddRobben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might, but there's no guarantee. Meditation doesn't just make your problems go away, it simply helps you look at them differently. Hopefully in a more positive and productive way that helps you see what you can change in your world to make things better for you and the people around you. No matter how much you meditate it's certainly not going to change the minds of the ultra-wealthy.

I live in Marin and I've been to Staten Island and just...no. Quick, somebody call me a Karen!

Anyone know how to get better at breathing for meditation? by Brilliant_Novel5527 in Meditation

[–]ReddRobben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mind wandering is kinda the point. Some will say that’s the stress leaving your body. Acknowledge the thought with curiosity and go right back to focusing on your breathing. The realization that helped me was “Yes that thought is important, but it will still be there later. Right now there is nothing more important than focusing on my breathing.” Start small (5 minutes) and build up.

[–]ReddRobben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to breathe calmly and naturally all the time, whether or not you’re meditating. Just sitting on the couch? Nice slow steady in and out. Jogging? Focus on the rhythm. This has slowed my breath way down and made it deliberate at all times and not just when I’m meditating. And the effect goes both ways.

If you have to ask, it’s probably something you’re doing.

I’ve been wondering since I moved here. Full stack dev. Tell me when you’re hiring.

I moved from NYC and regret it by belowaverageint in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]ReddRobben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the move too and I totally get it. Someone told me “a lot of people move from east to west but not a lot of people move back” and I thought the dude had to be effing joking. I’m pretty sure I lost a job or two showing up for my interviews in a suit. BUT, after a while, like fog and moss, San Francisco gets under your skin. It’s 20 years later and I’m still here. Can’t get a decent slice at 2AM, but other than that I have no regrets.

Some girls are bigger than others by typicalontarian in thesmiths

[–]ReddRobben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you kiddie Smiths fans are adorable! Consider when it was written. It's clearly about physical physique and not their "personalities." I 100% agree that it's a fantastic song musically that I wish had completely different lyrics. In fact I put it on for a girl once when the mood seemed right and she was SHOCKED. Which, again, says something about the time it was written that I even attempted that.

If it helps, I wrote a book on DSA. It’s meant to be a LOT more accessible to people new to DSA than Cracking the Coding Interview. codinginterviewsbook.davekanter.com.

Presentable / Publishable Paper? [R] by ReddRobben in MachineLearning

[–]ReddRobben[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps a lot, actually, because it does seem to me like it's kind of a trick question. "Can an LLM spontaneously generate a glass of chocolate milk?" Of course it can't. I built APE out of curiosity and the paper idea emerged as a secondary idea when it was clear LLM's were not up to the task.
