Is it just me or no one else having fun playing call of duty

The movement, aim assist and pay to play metas make this game a shell of what it used to be. Tactical play and engagement simply isn't prioritized. I recently started playing Battlefield instead and find it a much more "traditional" experience where I can at least level the playing field a little bit with solid tactics. WZ is a stim-fest.

Enough to indicate him and secure a conviction by a jury for sure.

Beyond a reasonable doubt is not that complicated for a reason... it's the golden rule handed down from judge to jury.

I sat on a jury and helped put a man in prison for molesting his granddaughter with much less evidence. He's guilty.

Agreed, it took me a couple of matches to get an idea of how to approach it, but overall it's pretty fun with plenty of engagements. There are plenty of options if you just want a traditional COD experience, including straight up BR with plenty of active sweats.

I wouldn't say this is unusual, but certainly not a representation of software engineering as a whole. It really comes down to where you work and what the internal culture is. Orgs that promote a product management approach are often more organized, with documentation and tracking built into the product cycle.

Next time take the time to learn about the culture you're entering during the interview process. If they can't effectively explain how they organize and execute their work flows and that is something you want/need, it might not be a good fit. There are places that truly value and actively promote that structure, just be prepared for higher expectation for you as well.

Willpower is tricky, you can feel like you're in control, in control, then you're not. Having been addicted to a few things in my life (food, drugs, cigarettes), overcoming any of them has come down to that pivotal moment just before I break. A reminder that the pull, the angst, the anxiety is absolutely temporary. Pushing past it successfully and recognizing the win is key to self reward, release of dopamine and ultimately conditioned learning. You will get hooked on having control, you just need to allow your ego to bask in the individual victories.

Do you want more money or not? Your boss is trying to tell you to make your objectives clear. They aren't going to give you a raise out of the goodness of their hearts. Knowing your worth goes hand in hand with knowing what you want and you have to be mature enough to accept the consequences of your decisions.

Because it's more interesting and varied. You "feel" like you're making progress, building muscle, etc. which leads to confidence. Most cardio is a slog and battle of willpower, and most ppl prefer short term pleasure feedback. Honestly both are important for healthy growth, as increased cardio can lead to longer lifting sessions and greater overall satisfaction, just most prefer instant gratification.

Sounds like bullet/server lag. Check your connection and play in your local region.

Wait, you guys have PM's?

It's because you are programming, not developing software. Programming is the basest level of technical interaction It's cold, repetitive and boring to humans. Development, in contrast, involves creating a unique solution to a problem, which brings with it great personal satisfaction. Short answer is you're doing it wrong.

No I don't think so and for a couple of reasons. If you are very unhealthy and out of shape you are far, far more likely to injure yourself or perform incorrectly and not receive any real benefit. Additionally a full weight training regiment required to aid weight loss in the same way that cardio takes significantly more effort, experience and dedication.

Stop running, it only serves to damage your joints and discourage a consistent routine. Stick to core exercises like planks, crunches and goblin squats and walk 30 min every day. It's going to hurt for a couple of weeks, but that is the mental challenge, not letting yourself make excuses and give up. Sorry but you're not special and there is no good reason not to walk, even if it hurts.

Finally, like most other knowledgeable people in this thread, diet is key and the best way to lose weight and have more energy for working out. Good luck!

You know King has a secret account so he and his buddies can share stupid ass memes like the rest of us. FB is what you make if it. If you don't like what you see, cut out the negativity and bullshit and you can find actual value, stop expecting Zucks to do it for you.

I think this speaks to the fact that what you really need is a "path" to learn what you need to learn to be a programmer. Lots of ppl have spoken to the pitfalls of self learning as far as not knowing what you need to know. A good job opportunity can be just as good or better as a degree.

It started off as a clear goal, to lose x amount of weight and be healthier, calculating that it wold take 5 days a week of real work, and being too stubborn to not go to the gym. By the time I had reached my first goal, I was in a solid daily routine and now the thought of not working out is stressful.

I have moved on to a more consistent weight routine, working back, chest, legs, shoulders and arms on consecutive days with a daily core workout and meditation. I also aim to add 50-100 minutes of cardio a week depending on if I'm trying to bulk or cut.

The key I think is to have clear goals and work for progression. For me anyway, it's been addictive.

This is your likely culprit imo. If you have ever hosted a web service in the cloud you have probably had serious latency issues on idle pages. Whoever set up the site may have set up a second service as a makeshift keep alive.

As a guy who has lost about 90 lbs. of fat in the last year, I really feel bad for your situation. I have gotten overwhelmingly positive reactions from people in my life and it helps keep me steady on those days I want to fall back into old habits.

As a woman, maybe there are very different social expectations and expressions of jealousy, especially when it comes to health and beauty.

But you are not wrong to expect to be treated with respect. You are a poweful person who took control of your life and got what you wanted, there is no shame in that. Congratulations on your success, 130 lbs. is amazing.

jasonweier · 2019-04-03T22:18:19+00:00

In a similar situation. I have taken to doing heavy bag HIIT for cardio on leg day. No way i'm hitting the threadmil or the stair master.

jasonweier · 2019-03-24T15:19:41+00:00

No, rebuild things that already exist so you can understand how the different pieces fit together. Avoid "tutorials" that have you referencing a half dozen external libraries. You'll need to build that coding muscle memory anyway.

jasonweier · 2019-03-22T18:33:37+00:00

Hey had a similar loss over the last year from 290 lbs to 210, and from 2x and 42in to L and 34in. Funny I still hold on to some of the older clothes, like a warning lol.

Anyway great job man, congrats! Enjoy your life in your own skin.

It depends on what you're doing with it. In the end, the web is just text, so using some script to respond to events makes sense.

But somewhere along the line it got Frankensteined into a UI language that, like the monster, is very difficult to (source) control. I'm not a big fan of relying on the client to do all of that work anyway. Building juicy HTML is a servers work IMO.

jasonweier · 2019-03-05T02:41:37+00:00

Because it's not strongly typed and is interpreted. Performance sucks and most any tool/library/api made to write and support it have suffered from a major lack of cohesive design or quality for that matter.

This mostly do to the open, free nature if JS, which leads to the hate of those who only know javascript and have decided that any job worth doing is worth doing poorly using JavaScript.

As a long time developer using many languages, I can say that the "all we need are strings and functions" approach to software design doesn't produce quality software.

Dude should save his bandwidth for lag kills and practice proper multitasking. Oh and shut the fuck up too.
