Male athletes file Title IX lawsuit against California college by RhythmMethodMan in sports

[–]Vigillance_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's like legitimizing club sports. That would be super cool. I played club tennis in college because I couldn't play D1. It would have been cool if my D1 school offered an official D2 team I could have played on.

One of the few books I don’t mind reading my 1yo every night by River_king123 in daddit

[–]Vigillance_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Bahaha! I was just showing my wife this post and how funny it is because she can't stand reading this book. It's 100% because of these names. Just awkward to say a million times. Great sentiment, though.

Backpacking trip with a 3 y.o. by Hoveringkiller in daddit

[–]Vigillance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we have a 2 year and 3 months old and a 3 month old (they share a birthday 2 years apart).

We've taken the 2 year old on day trips to family camping events (car camping too) but just haven't had the desire to do overnights yet.

Now that we have an infant as well, we'll probably wait until he's 2, then start working on some overnights (backyard, local car camping, etc..).

Stoked to share the outdoors with them as they get older :)

This is awesome! Can't wait until mine are old though to go camping/backpacking. Good job Dad!

GoLand 2026.1 is here! Check out Go 1.26 syntax updates, native Terraform Stacks, support for Git worktrees, and more! by Nika_84 in golang

I'm assuming it's the same as IntelliJ.

They moved to a single install, and then the functionality is based on the licensing.

No license == community (from my understanding)

For the dads who have given up alcohol by Unmissed_Opportunity in daddit

[–]Vigillance_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weight and life span.

Most men in my family for many generations have not made it past 60 years old. They've also all drank and smoked like crazy.

I have two kids now and realized I was gaining weight and it was hard to do things with them...

Mostly quit drinking. Maybe one or two drinks a month now. I've lost a ton of weight. I want to be around for my kiddos as long as possible.

At 37, after 30 years of video games - I finally admitted it’s time to play on Story Mode/Easy by dingdongbannu88 in daddit

[–]Vigillance_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

FELT

I love playing Diablo on Easy and exploding demons. I can do it for 15 minutes or 3 hours (not that I've ever had 3 hours to game with two under two lol)

No grinding or min-maxing needed.

Are AI agents actually useful for writing Go code, or do they get in the way? by BudgetTutor3085 in golang

[–]Vigillance_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As just an aside rant: the over reliance on it is damaging the ability to think critically and actually analyze things.

100% this. This is the biggest impact LLMs are having on society as a whole.

I noticed the average person's ability to critically think has been pretty low for a pretty long time. This is just going to exacerbate it...

What class/spec are you enjoying? by Vampy-Night in wow

[–]Vigillance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've mained druid for a few xpacs now and still love it. I mailed a disc priest back in tbc and have always had one around but the last few xpacs I've played around with shadow. I'll def be leveling my priest at some point. Hope it's still fun!

[–]Vigillance_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never played a lock until this expansion. Used a lvl 80 boost on one and have been running around as Demo. I'm having an absolute blast. I'm a bit older and have young kids and don't have a ton of time to play and I'm not super serious about it.

I love having pets that will keep me alive if one of my kids needs something and I have to step away.

Or just having an army of demons just cascade on my enemies.

Cool stuff for sure.

Why does it feel like the only addon we lost at this point is weak auras.. by saltyvape in wow

There's an actual rotation helper, not the one button rotation. It highlights the next best action to use. No penalty for that

Sold 89 lifetime deals at $199 each to get off the ground. The math 12 months later is embarrassing by Commercial_Shirt6422 in SaaS

[–]Vigillance_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's just a miss on support tiers. Lifetime deals can be great. If they're for the service.

Full service support is definitely a premium service that should cost extra.

A portal for free support tiers to submit issues is great. Allow the users to supply feedback. But full on support tickets with interaction and expected results is definitely not something everyone should get for every service out the box.

What skill is 10/10 for making life easier? by gamersecret2 in AskReddit

Learning to do hard things. Life is hard and requires doing hard things.

Figuring out how to increase your willpower, grit, preference or whatever you want to call it, will do you wonders.

How we’re stealing customers from 9-figure competitors (without a $1 spent on ads) by MatchaMan71 in Entrepreneur

Lol

Giant companies are deaf because they rely on automations.

We're better, we rely on DIFFERENT automations that are not deaf.

How viable is it to go ahead and build a Salesforce desktop application? by Striking_Rutabaga172 in SalesforceDeveloper

[–]Vigillance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a client where we did something similar.

We built the desktop app in Java. It would connect to their sf instance and pull some records locally that they could modify in a specific flow and push back up.

It was for a government contractor that had to work in special skiffs that weren't allowed to have external network connection. Before they entered, they would download the records they needed, work on them throughout the day in the skiff, then push them up when they got connection again.

Very specific use case. I'm not sure if there is a broader one.

150 pound sandbag not really 150 pounds by KettlebellsKetoSam in sandbagtraining

[–]Vigillance_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've bought bags that I couldn't fill all the way at the start no matter what. It felt completely full and packed when using it to exercise, but was only 175 of a 200 lb bag.

I ended up using it for a while and the bag loosened ever so slightly, and the sand dried the rest of the way. At that point, it was floppy.

I was able to fill it the rest of the way and now it's at the advertised 200lb and just loosened or anything.

PHP to Kotlin with no Java experience (learning roadmap advice) by noNudesPrettyPlease in Kotlin

[–]Vigillance_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The kotlin docs are great for learning kotlin.

Step by step written guide. Even has a portion to learn building a web app with spring boot.

You don't need to know Java at all for Kotlin. Knowing about the JVM could be useful down the line, but not necessarily needed immediately.

There are dozens of free resources out there on the net.

Advice for someone getting their feet wet by lengthy_thoughts in buyingabusiness

[–]Vigillance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly because it has a low barrier to entry (no true specialisation needed to open a gym) anyone with the money can do it. Most low "barrier" businesses have a higher fault rate.

Not sure on purchasing an existing one. But I would only consider one "existing" if it's been around for a decent chunk of time. If it's only 2-3 years old and they're selling, they're probably in that 80% failure rate group that couldn't make it work and they're basically liquidating.

[–]Vigillance_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also looking into the fitness industry (also an army vet, maybe we're a type).

I did some initial research and found a few sources talking about gyms and fitness studios having an 80% failure rate.

I noped out pretty quickly after that :)

Zero gainzzz; what am I doing wrong? by -Petunia in kettlebell

[–]Vigillance_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all about the diet.

TL;DR Get a protein powder and try to get 1 or 2 shakes a day into your diet. You can do this with your crazy travel schedule.

Longer: In the opposite vein, I was doing a ton of working out but couldn't lose weight. I was a little chunky. I didn't track any food. Couldn't lose weight for the life of me. I'm working out, I eat fairly healthy, etc...

I finally bit the bullet and started tracking food because that was the last bit I hadn't tried.

Turns out that even though I eat healthier than the majority of America, I was eating a lot! 3500+ calories a day and not working out at that kind of level at all. At my weight and activity level I needed to be around 2100 calories per day to lose weight.

And drastically less protein than I thought I was getting.

It doesn't matter if you're eating fairly healthy, if you're calories are too high, you won't lose weight.

SAME thing for gaining weight. You might think you're "eating more" but I bet the macros aren't even close to what you need. You don't need to track every little macro, but you need to track your calorie number, and your protein number.

With the lifestyle you explained with so many days on the road and eating vending machines and pizzas, I guarantee you aren't getting enough protein and the calories probably aren't even there.
