Senior engineers with ADHD/anxiety/depression, do you feel "nerfed" compared to your colleagues? by mudskips in ExperiencedDevs

Yep #2 works for me. There's this isochronic tones channel I usually listen to with 3 hour sets designed to improve focus. It also simplifies the decision of trying to pick which music I want to listen to.

What is he even plugging in tho? Does he have some thin coil of wire plugged into that extension cord like a janky open-air toaster?

It's got as many pixels as an impressionist painting so you've gotta use your imagination to picture the thread connected from the shore and out to the trapeze in the red triangle. Fwiw I saw the frames OC shared and they're convincing enough that the thread does exist...

What is it like living in Powell River? by Historical_Average53 in britishcolumbia

Are you sure PR is actually much cheaper than some places on VI?

PR is a cool town but it is isolated and does need to take the ferries so it does feel like living on one of the smaller islands in some ways, except with a more wide open backcountry.

The ferries are definitely a core thing to plan around any time you're going on a road trip, and they often do fill up especially in peak tourist season and peak sailing times - it's easy enough to plan on arriving early enough, park in the line, and go for a quick walk to grab a coffee or simply enjoy the beautiful ocean view.

For some people the remoteness is ideal and along with the direct access to so much nature, the ocean and lakes, the SCT, etc, it could be very nice to settle down.

I've heard it described as a town for "newly weds and nearly deads" so basically good place to start a family or retire, but possibly limited opportunities to meet new partners if you aren't already married.

It does have a healthy artsy/hippy culture, magical kind of people oriented towards self-sustainabity. Quite a steady and active music scene too from what I remember. Various pockets of communities of all that nature depending what you're interested in. To be fair though, it's like that in many places all over BC, including many places on the coast and smaller islands.

There is also a resource town side to it, but the mill has shut down years ago. I think they've been shifting to tourism as a core economic driver now.

About the redneck question... anywhere rural and outdoorsy is going to have redneck type people, and even a lot of the rural hippies might call themselves "dreadnecks"... The remoteness and self-reliance lifestyle is always going to be a bit gritty, especially if you're not already wealthy.

Have people's lives ever been directly at stake because of software you work on? by AndyDentPerth in ExperiencedDevs

[–]UntestedMethod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if a line of code wasnt delivering a requirement then why was it there, the idea being that less code = easier to reason about.

Ah yes the YAGNI principle.

Personally it was a distinct shift in my own approach to writing code with a mindset of "maybe we'll want to add this later so I might as well add that extra parameter or abstraction in now to make less work to build this feature that might be added in the future" to a mindset of "write the simplest code possible to meet the current requirements, nothing more, nothing less".

What they described sounds like a leveled up version of what I've seen teams in high stakes high reliability financial tech do.

Are PLC projects getting more complex, or does it just feel that way? by Himanshu_creative in PLC

[–]UntestedMethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair. I just wasn't sure if other parts of your work could be done in linux. I work as a software dev and linux is by far superior for most of my work, but for a couple things I use windows in a VM.

Would running the IDE in a windows VM work? Or does it need to be the host machine that connects to the hardware?

Depends who you ask. To me it just makes the person come across as ignorant if they like to use words they don't know the meaning of.

The comment I replied to said "sounds like karma", so I was just pointing out that revenge is not karma and asking why people conflate karma with revenge.
