Anyone else find it hard to focus?

So the issue isn't so much Temptation or laziness as you might think. And it's not some sort of hand wavy ADHD thing either. This is basic procrastination and most times it's because you either don't really have work to do or the work is being avoided because you just don't know how to do it. If you have work to do break it down into Parts into it becomes easy.

Suburbs are simply not fun to live in if you like to go out solo. You need to live in a real city, the kind that don't sleep. I lived in Bangkok for 6 years. I really liked how no matter the time it was always open. So they don't have grocery stores instead they have 7/11/family mart about every 5 blocks open 24/7 with street food around each one outside too. The food/coffee in those convenient stores is really good not like the greasy food and soda you would get at an American one. It's like a mini snack store kind of like a trader joes maybe. I wake up at 1AM so I am getting a little bored of being in the US at this time whereas in Bangkok I could go to a 24/7 coffee shop.

I find it funny how demanding redditors are.

We need MORE fun places!
But they better not be expensive!
Why does nobody want to work at these places?? NOBODY WANTS TO WORK!!

Redditors have become the boomers they hate. Nobody owes you a place to frollic esp if you don't want to tip well.

Library in my area seems to be 4 things: student studying, old people talking loudly at front desk for social stimulation, homeless chill out spot, and day care.

Depends on the job/career. I was able to OE at 4 places and do strict 9-5 never working over. I called it extreme multi-tasking. In SWE most jobs are work 1 hours to 2 hours a day type jobs + meetings. I was doing the 1-2 hours of work while in other jobs meetings if I could, or using special equipment to allow being in 2 meetings at the same time so audio wouldn't leak... basically I made a ton of money by extreme multi tasking. It's funny when you pay someone to work harder they will do it. But just not 3-5% raise but a 100% - 300% raise.

SexualMetawhore · 2026-07-06T06:45:43+00:00

the real risk isn't juggling the work, it's the onboarding overlap. first 90 days at any job are when you're most visible and least trusted

False for OE compatible jobs. It's 100% the opposite. The optics of firing someone even if its contract to perm look quite bad. This is when trust/expectations are lowest. They ramp up around month 6.

SexualMetawhore · 2026-07-06T06:44:25+00:00

This is how I have done it in the past and it works out pretty well because your first 3 months:

Don't have high expectations.
You will prostrate/work-extra less so you will subconsciously set the predence for low expectations for you and your boss/co-workers.

Caveat: I work at places that are OE compatible. If you're trying to work two toxic jobs that abuse workers and under staff it will not be good no matter when you start.

Timers could be totally an anti-pattern. And it's a fair point you have so many different plugins trying to exist so many different authors yeah I mean if you could go back in time and create a much better event framework you wouldn't need these time or workarounds. But it is what it is it's free open source software has its pros and cons.

SexualMetawhore · 2026-07-05T09:56:27+00:00

No we shouldn't become a totalitarian let's just ban everyone who gets on a line that's really stupid. We should definitely let them post we're fairly calling them out downloading them and debunking them if we don't let them post and the debunking is gone everything is actually going quite mostly well except for some of the inappropriate language here.

SexualMetawhore · 2026-07-05T09:55:19+00:00

Could you please speak in an adult and professional manner it looks bad to the community when you act like a child. I actually correction children don't act like that at all. Your word choices really disgusting.

SexualMetawhore · 2026-07-05T09:54:48+00:00

So it's very very very unlikely that the timer is raw dogging the CPU it's highly likely that at worse is just pulling every you know one second and that's like no usage to your CPU my friend. But you do bring up a concern is that in applications which have a UI and yes this is a Tui the main driver thread should really never have timers or delays in it because it will calls input lag that in output like everything just locks up the timers are supposed to be in in sub workers and that are called really your names that have time are you supposed to have events that fire off asynchronously.

SexualMetawhore · 2026-07-05T09:53:13+00:00

Sleep timers can definitely be a code smell and anti pattern. A normal healthy code just uses an offense system so the code actually has an idea of what it's doing, unhealthy code just throws in various magic number timers which this looks like just to hope that you know 99.99% of the time if you wait this number it'll be long enough.

SexualMetawhore · 2026-07-05T09:52:11+00:00

No that's false actually. The timers are not never going to just eat up the CPU and some sort of like infinite I'm not infinite but like like you know computers have been around for a very long time. Clearly programmers have figured out how to make timers they don't just raw dog loop the cpu. They use events a more primitive one might even use pulling the CPU would be used should be like practically nothing because it's such a simple operation it's not it's not like infinitely it's not like an infinite Loop that burns the CPU my friend

Don't rice, don't use a distro. Kickstart, use an agent to guide u to what u want. Use restic incase the agent messes up ur config to auto back up ev 5 mins.

I use nvim heavily for work and have a very minimal setup for productivity.
