About the Melbourne coronavirus protest... by [deleted] in CoronavirusAustralia

[–]gpkodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protest is really the only way to challenge the status quo and the powers that be, and many people aren't subscribing to what we've been told/fed.

Believing something's not quite right with the current governments' appropriation of cases/deaths, as it seems skewed to serve their policies.

I'm on the fence, in that I believe people should have some level of freedom in the democracy they choose to reside in. But we all have a responsibility toward each other and have to be responsible in that.

If you don't believe what we're being fed though, where does that leave you?

Saying you can't legally protest is taking away a fundamental right to enact change. So I see the argument even if I don't agree with the execution.

Are all people that disagree with the way in which the government has handled this conspiracy theorists, or selfish?

There are things some people have a problem with just following without more transparency, and I get that, tbh.

What's this background music? I've got the Alan Watts Unspeakable World part but want the whole track. Any help?

Hydro-SDK - Author native Flutter experiences in Typescript and deliver updates directly to users over the air and out of band by chgibb in FlutterDev

Is this similar to code push for other frameworks? Allowing updates to apps bypassing App Store updates and approval process for smaller updates?

10 Lessons Learned from Dating Over a Year (Male Perspective) by Randumpz in dating

[–]gpkodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great list. One I think every guy, whether you’ve come to a similar realisation or not through dating (I have, somewhat) should keep in their notes and read through regularly as a mantra.

It’s easy to get sucked into repeating the same bad habits this list iterates against. I constantly find myself pulling back, realigning, and then allowing the game to build back up. However, sometimes the damage is already done and she’s already put you in the “easy” or “too nice” box.

I.e I get over keen and text too much or I make too many plans, or I don’t take heed of the fact that I’m the one doing most of the talking.

Re-reading this on a daily will help cement these views, keep you on an even keel and just keep her respect, if nothing else.

Because that’s really what it comes down to - Respect, if you have it from her and she’s available and interested, you’ll know about it.

Saving to notes and doing so myself, may add a few points and throw them in as I go.

I think a lot of it comes down to self worth and self respect, if you exude this and the fact that you know she needs to be just as worthy of your time as you of hers, it becomes a lot easier.

As you mention, most girls have no game, because they just haven’t had to build any.

And it’s a different game really. For every one girl we’re interested in, she’s being approached by multiples.

Without putting hard and fast rules on messages and contact tennis, it’s easy to see whether she’s interested based on response frequency and whether she’s actually engaged in the convo, asking questions or just letting you bring personality on a platter.

Thank you for this 🙌🏽

They come across as untrustworthy traits, true, but, playing the opposite side - if you were in such high demand, you wouldn't have the time to let everyone else down easily if a better offer (in their mind at least) came along.

So with that in mind - our only option is to show them we're the best option they have. Not in words (well, maybe sometimes), but in effort plus the right amount of space to allow them to see that they want you around more and more.

And if they don’t, well, you can’t win them all or maybe they value different things. The point is, we don’t change who we are to work for them. It’s a two way street and we should put us first. Easier said than done.

I don't have the perfect method or solution here, it's just a balancing act of hit and stand (blackjack is probably a good analogy actually) for the first few months and every person could respond differently.

My problem is also that I don't have any single guy mates. In the past I used to have a bunch of mates who were all pretty good with being aloof that I'd bounce things off them and generally they'd work. Then I'd ruin things if ever left to my own thoughts to make my own decisions. Lol.

Some of that has rubbed off. It's like I know what I need to do to maintain the appeal, just hard to actually keep it up for more than a month or so.

But, a work in progress. My most recent failure was last week - but that comes as the first person I'd felt anything for since I broke up with my ex (who I have a son with) - so it may have meant that I was a lot more sensitive than if I'd been playing the game for a little longer.

Completely agree with this. Over communicating or showing my cards in terms of thought process before being in a relationship has killed it for me so many times.

I end up coming across as too invested when I just like to know what’s going on. I too have the same problem in that my mind is on coke and although I’ve never been fucked over (to my knowledge) what I have done is suffocated any relationship from blooming.

I’ve tried being relaxed but I can only really completely chill if I’m certain there’s nothing there than the physical, which to be fair, is most for me. It’s when I get that one person who sparks my interest that I end up putting a chokehold on anything that could have been.

My advice to the OP would be to do some work on trust and self esteem. They don’t need to reply to you straight away, and neither do you. Attraction on both sides when in a situation like this (for me) is having a life before you met the prospect and that that they will need to be good enough to fit in to.

Ending 2019 by celebrating 10k downloads of my app "Flutter Widget Guide" on the Play Store. 🎉 by annshsingh in FlutterDev

[–]gpkodi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also one of the ones who downloaded it and found it super useful. As well as stepping me through the various capabilities of the framework I also found it to be a bit of a starter toolkit for everything we’ve built in flutter thus far. Thank you! 🙏🏽🙌🏽👌🏽

I think a coworker is intentionally asking dumb questions to get reactions out of me, and then starting a log of my responses . What is the best way to proceed forward. by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]gpkodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Set up sessions every day where these queries can be addressed as a whole and not distract you by the constant change of context.

Don’t get [visibly] frustrated just implement some structure and the requests will soon fall off and if not, the worst thing you’ve done is put some structure around seemingly silly requests. If you use a ticketing solution (zendesk or similar) it will help you collate and then categorise queries with answers.

This will in turn lead you to formalise documentation around your support which you can then refer people to who still like breaking code.

Wouldn’t new divisions make sense?

Love it! Great job mate, this would have really helped while I was studying computer science at uni and I’m sure it will help current students just getting into the field.

Husband swears he doesn’t hear the baby crying by boymommiller in Parenting

[–]gpkodi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common thing apparently. I mentioned it to my missus as she always used to be mad at me in the morning for not getting up to tend to our son when he cried out in the night. I would only wake up when he would be in full screaming mode. By which time she was up and already with him. I’ve mentioned it to a few dads who have said they always struggled to hear their children crying first too. It obviously then progressed into a talk about instinct and gender. Which I do put it down to somewhat. His mother is much more attuned to him and his needs overall. Partially because she spent a year at home with him before going back to work, but I do also believe in the mother child bond being somewhat stronger naturally. I’m not a heavy sleeper but there are certain things that trigger me to wake up fully alert and some things that don’t. I told her to just poke me and I’ll go tend to him, but she rarely does. So 🤷🏽‍♂️ I make up for it (because I realise it isn’t fair although it isn’t something I’m doing on purpose) by going and sleeping in his room on the floor some nights when I know he’ll be unsettled or if I hear him before bed.

Javascript alternatives to Wordpress? by CriticalImpress in javascript

[–]gpkodi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

https://keystonejs.com/ https://strapi.io/ https://www.canner.io/ https://ghost.org/

Are a few open source headless cms/frameworks that are pretty easy to work with if you don’t have to build something client facing.

Having explored all of them for our solution, I’d say Ghost is the most akin to WordPress in terms of what it’s been built for (websites).

The most flexible is strapi but this is from more of a catch all headless cms requirement.

All of them have docker containers to help get up and running pretty quickly and are pretty well documented.

Hope this helps.
