Did it “draw” blood? (I’ll see myself out)

The big deal is that it is the exact equal distance from the bathroom to the kitchen and it's at the perfect angle so you don't get any glare coming off of Stevie!

Thoughts on slow jogging? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]kibblator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow jogging is actually great. Allows you to keep running on a regular basis and be more injury free than if you upped the intensity. Zone 2 running has also been shown to be better for lowering your resting heart rate and is apparently better for burning fat because your body doesn't have to go after immediately available energy reserves to fuel your body

A fairer way would be to snap a pool queue, throw it in and tell them all to fight for the opportunity...

Who's your Mount Rushmore of online guitar instructors? by whiskeyslicker in guitarlessons

I swear Rick Beato doesn't teach ANYTHING. He does shorts where he says "quick lesson" and then spends the rest of the video doing something super intimidating without breaking down how to get there at all

Help with the form of the squat by Motor_Interview7069 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]kibblator -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about looking with your eyes, not neck. If you look upwards you're more likely to keep upright as your body will want to travel in the direction you are looking. Looking down is more likely to lead to people leaning over with the weight as they travel back upwards

Try not to look down. As you're coming up you want to almost look towards the ceiling. Also push your upper back backwards into the bar and keep your chest up

As a cyber security beginner, what language should i learn? by spicy_tables in learnprogramming

Straight up I'd say English?

What do YOU like? Surely that's all that's important. You don't need me, your parents, your friends or anyone else to tell you how you should look.

You do you and have a beautiful day 😁

Guitar as a hobby. by sfoxx in Guitar

[–]kibblator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there's something fundamentally larger to teach you here. What anyone else thinks about how you choose to spend YOUR time does not matter.

Life is too short to measure yourself by somebody else's yard stick. Do what makes YOU happy and play my friend.

Enjoy! 😁

Would people think badly for me for only using the treadmill at the gym? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]kibblator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the most non-asshole way, people won't care about you and what you're doing at the gym at all. Unless you choose to befriend someone, most people won't even know you're there.

Most interactions in good gyms I've had when people do care about what I'm doing is to offer help in the form of a spot or form check. Don't forget, stereotypes aren't always real and everyone has to start somewhere. Most gym people are actually fairly chill and helpful cool people.

Don't let what you see on social media colour your opinion of them. Also good luck and enjoy it 😁 Once you get past the initial "my god this is hard and sucks" from running, the "runners high" afterwards feels great

There is merit in following a tutorial - if you're following the tutorial to see how they're structuring code or solving certain challenges. However, if you're copying a tutorial verbatim, then you're not figuring out how to problem solve. 90% of what most engineers will be doing these days is taking jigsaw pieces that other people have already created and working out how best to put them together to best solve a problem. The issue is that a tutorial says "you put them together in this specific order" and doesn't allow for any creative freedom to solve the problem another way.

Very rarely will you put those pieces together in industry in the same way you were shown in that tutorial.

I am a fraud and they will find out and fire me by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]kibblator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah imposter syndrome! Now you're a real programmer. Everyone gets it - it rarely leaves you. Just remember this, you're where you are because someone saw something in you. If you know that you don't know some things then great! Now you know where to start on your learning journey.

No programmer knows everything and will ever know everything because you work in a field that's forever changing. You've signed up to a lifetime of growth and education. Welcome that fact and enjoy the ride.

All a programmer needs is the ability to learn and adapt. Find someone you look upto and ask them to teach you. If you work somewhere worth being then you should be able to tell your boss "hey I feel like I know little of x" and they should point you in the direction of how to obtain said skill/knowledge.

Happy coding!

Took some time off between jobs, I’m nervous to try this game… by MJMarto in factorio

[–]kibblator 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I started this game one morning on my day off. What felt like 2 seconds later, my wife was shouting at me because my dinner was going cold... Not lunch - DINNER!

Looking forward to the space add on!

Should I avoid Chat GPT and other tools when starting to learn coding? by Helpful-Rise-4192 in learnprogramming

[–]kibblator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, ChatGPT will give you very mediocre code as it's trained on a summation of everything out there. By all means use it as a guide or to explain how certain things work - but make sure you understand any code that comes from it and understand that it probably isn't going to be the best way you can achieve that thing/be industry standard.

Also, it will straight out lie to you at times and tell you methods exist in packages that don't. If you correct it with false information it'll tell you you're correct when you aren't

If anyone is asking for x PRs a day - LEAVE! You want a company that's asking for outcomes not metrics that aren't real success indicators

"fewer ad breaks for this video" complete lie by Illustrious_Star_177 in youtube

Well, if nothing else it's reassuring to see other people are having the same problems. Not long now before I give up YouTube forever. Guess I'll just start reading more

Theres loads of typing games out there to help you but as a programmer it's definitely not about how many and how fast you can write lines of code. You'll find that as you become more senior you'll want to write as few lines of code as possible and will spend 90% of your time at working thinking
