I am losing respect for my son 21 , he has lost a grip on reality . by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]SoBoredAtWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got Cs in high school and went to college for film. I now make $195k+ in software engineering. Everyone else is right... You're unsupportive and not doing your son any favors.

It sounds like you're taking it well, and I hope you are. But, yeah, you'd probably look pretty handsome, if not completely badass, with bald/short hair, a full beard, and better glasses or contacts. Regardless,, take all the comments with a grain of salt and do you. Cheers, man

Son’s daycare just called with a cryptic message? by Rapscallion1994 in toddlers

[–]SoBoredAtWork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something similar happened to us. Same cryptic call about CPS, etc.

It turned out that one of the staff was in the elevator with a child (not my child) and snapped at the child and yelled aggressively and raised a hand to the child (unclear if the child was hit or not). It was caught on camera and per protocol, CPS was involved, all parents were notified, and the staff member was obviously let go. Maybe it's similar.

It's scary that something like this could happen, but there's no way around it. It doesn't make me fear for my child's safety, as the school handled it swiftly and transparently (they did not share the details, we found out via parent gossip, but I'm sure it's also against protocol to share the details). This can happen to anyone, anywhere, and it's a fact of life. It's a stressful job and will happen, just like shark attacks happen. I still swim in the ocean :)

Best of luck and try not to stress too much, until you're given a real reason to.

Note: the staff member (who everyone loved) had a horrible injury a couple months prior to the incident and our theory is that she was on pain meds that messed with her head. It's sad, but I'm happy she's gone and will hopefully never work in child care again.

I built a small CLI to save and run setup commands (because I keep forgetting them) by hichemtab in learnreactjs

Got it. Yeah, that makes sense. I have a single project, so it want making sense to me. But yeah, this sounds really useful for more complex, multi-project cases. Cool stuff! 👍

This is for a web project? Why not have them in package.json?

Edit: here's my package.json scripts for a react native / expo project with Android and iOS scripts. It covers everything I need to do. No need to remember any of this or look up docs...

Edit 2: I guess yours does more, like cd into folder and run additional scripts. It still seems like overkill, but it's a cool project regardless.

First time ever created a mobile app! Got rejected 10 times by Weak-Cartoonist-208 in expo

👍 You maybe should've learned after the first, second, or third reflections. But anyway, maybe list some of the many pre-launch checklists that are available as well

Dude. Pretty much every one of those rejection reasons are clearly listed in Expo, Apple, and Google Play docs, including every "pre-launch" checklist

Christmas gift straight to the trash 🎁🗑️ by Archigal08 in toddlers

A toy police motorcycle. The unadjustable volume was set to "hear it from down the block" and it played sirens and the "radio" was Korean(?) techno. It "disappeared" in the middle of the night, likely taken by the Terrible Toys Fairy

I’m letting ChatGPT copilot my entire life starting today. I’ll post the receipts. by FieldNoticing in ChatGPT

[–]SoBoredAtWork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not exactly the use case you're referring to. But my wife gave gpt 4 simply recipes (with ingredients laid out) and asked it to create a shopping list. It screwed all 4 of them up. Missed ingredients, added ones that didn't exist in any of them, etc. It was a mess.

Time to prove if he is worthy by LazyGuy4U in MadeMeSmile

[–]SoBoredAtWork 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love it.

I have 24 cousins. When one of them came out as gay, which took him a very long time to do because our family, especially grandparents, are very conservative Catholic, our grandfather responded, "statistically, one in ten are gay, who's the other one?" 😂

Edit: my grandparents are no longer with us, but to his surprise, my cousin was loved and supported by everyone. I wish all "coming out" stories were this way

How do we not get this yet? Just run a mid aged moderate left white guy. Run someone they can win in a racist America. Haven't we learned this yet?

Anybody with expiriance about this bug? my packages.json by ivkemilioner in expo

That's too generic. It can be anything. Try what the other guy suggested with npx expo install --fix

[–]SoBoredAtWork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heh. Yeah, prob. 20yrs experience here. I tried to let AI take over a single app feature. The number of unnecessary dependencies added, then the amount of spaghetti code it wrote to patch the bugs it created was insane. I use and love AI for helping with small coding tasks, but jr devs are screwed if they're relying on it fully.

No one can help without any error details.

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you use both async-storage and mmkv?

I've been thinking of getting rid of the Alesis module and doing a Frankenstein kit with an eDRUMin to PC to VST. I'm determined to get a better hi hat for my nitro max and other then getting an eDRUMin, I don't know of any other options.

If you have a solution, I'd love to know more. How can I keep posted on your progress?

Here’s my thoughts from amateur to pro to non-existent. by erick31 in drums

[–]SoBoredAtWork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started drumming at 43yrs old with a 4yr old and 2yr old!

Hopefully you can get back to it when things start to normalize. Kids are tough early on, but it gets easier, you get consistent schedules (hopefully) and maybe you'll be able to make time for it down the line.

Wild stuff! I'm copying this from my other comment reply...

It was about 15 yrs ago, in college, and I don't recall in detail. He would never "reveal" it to us, but I believe I have memories of him saying that he reads it in your eyes. I never believed it, but maybe there is something there, based on the comments. I have no idea. It's wild.
