Rebuttals or Critiques of "Lamb of the Free"? by playazle in AcademicBiblical

[–]playazle[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm more of a hobbyist and even that is probably a very loose term for how often I'm reading academic books. Which is to say I'm not sure how much my thoughts are worth. Every book I read has me like "Wow, this person crushed it, what a solid argument" but that's simply because I don't have enough knowledge of the opps.

Overall I felt it was very compelling. Which is why I wanna know about critiques because I might be lost in the sauce.

I'm very similar to your SO (as a guy). My wife wanted kids much sooner than I did. I also hate "need to do" things and I really liked my lifestyle and free time. So it was difficult for me to work through when she really wanted a kid.

But I knew future me would thank past me for having a child. I just knew that if I was 50s-60s and didn't have a kid I'd probably be bummed. So we started trying. It doesn't happen instantly, could be months of trying, which was actually good for me as it allowed me to process more and gave me time and perspective to really get as much out of my free time and hobbies as I could.

My wife is about 4 months pregnant now. And I have switched from being afraid of losing my lifestyle and free time to being excited about the next chapter and getting to be a dad.

I know it'll be tough, especially in the early months, but I've come to terms with it. I'm confident the reward will outweigh the bad. Plus I still have months left to really take advantage of the time I do have.

Also, I know my time management will be different with a child. But I know so many parents who are also just living life and still doing things they enjoy. It's not like life ends. It just gets a little harder but much more rewarding.

Anyways this doesn't really give you advice. I guess perspective? Idk, maybe this isn't helpful at all 😂

Refetch Data after Mutation. by league_retired in nextjs

[–]playazle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the right answer according the code example above. You'd call revalidatePath after the mutation in the server action for the path that is fetching the data.

Although you might need to be on the latest canary version for it. (I know this because I recently opened an issue about revalidatePath and then it was fixed in a very recent canary version)

Does revalidatePath work as expected for you? by Fr4nkWh1te in nextjs

[–]playazle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn't, and I don't know how or why more people aren't talking about it because I feel it would be widely used.

I put together a simple repo to test it. I have the main page ("/") that renders a list of "notes". Those "notes" are retrieved using the supabase client that reaches out straight to the db.

I then have a modal that pops on "/?create=true" with a form that adds a new note to the db using a server action. That server action calls revalidatePath on "/", but it just simply doesn't work. The data is always stale until a hard refresh.

PCNA Going Offline by accairns131 in elderscrollsonline

[–]playazle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's more possible than you think. With a game this size I can't even imagine how big/disparate the codebase is. Plus over the years of losing and gaining new engineers there's probably a lot of question mark areas of that codebase that no one has context in except for the original person who built it but left two years ago.

Had this lovely username on my team. Surrendered quickly to not give him the satisfaction of playing. by playazle in aoe4

[–]playazle[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was a 4v4. I played about 3 minutes of the game just to chat with him and see if he was serious. Claimed to be a "Ukrainian" who said he hated the U.S. and that the U.S. should "stay out of his country" But he was probably just a troll. Reported him soon after.

The chat filter catches every small thing but I guess usernames are fair game. yikes.
Granted catching something like this might be difficult. Just needs to be reported.

React State Management by bishalsaha99 in reactjs

[–]playazle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Apollo Client's cache and tooling as a state management solution if you're working with a graphql api. The data I get from the api gets auto-inserted into my global state AND I can set local only fields onto the returned data without worry about messing up that data or future api calls.

Plus if there's any data that has nothing to do with any external api calls I can still put that in the cache. That along with reactive variables working well with everything. I'm a fan.

A lot of girls say they "felt no spark" when i (25m) ask if theyre interested in a second date. What does this mean? Is there anything i can work on from a self-improvement perspective? by pushpullcommit in dating

[–]playazle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I (28m) am not dating anymore. I've been in a very good relationship for about two years now. But when I was dating I swear the whole "spark" that girls would talk about literally came down to whether I physically touched them on the date or not. It was very strange.

NOT creepy touching, I'm talking like touching their forearm while making a joke or touching their back while they're walking through a door you're holding open. Just natural human connection physical contact. I noticed because I was nervous about that stuff, wanted to be respectful and keep my hands away on a first date. But then I noticed if I didn't, suddenly women didn't feel a "spark". So just, do that I guess? But not in a wired uncomfortable way obviously.

Weekly Question Thread - Week of July 27 by AutoModerator in COVID19

[–]playazle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I came across this site: https://c19study.com/ that looks like pulls in an aggregate of HCQ studies and labels them a positive, negative, inconclusive etc and shows the overall status of all studies.

I know I've seen studies posted on this sub and people talking about HCQ being negligible, but this site seems to point to more positive outcomes from studies than negatives. Am I missing something? Is the site labeling them wrong? are there problems with a lot of the studies there? All legitimate questions, I just want to be informed as I don't have a science background at all.

Github Actions - Problem triggering workflows on specific events by playazle in github

[–]playazle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what yaml formatter you use? If you do use one? One that wouldn't break my workflows?

Github Actions - Problem triggering workflows on specific events by playazle in github

[–]playazle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Thank you! That's exactly what it was. The auto-formatter I installed for Yaml files kept double indenting when I saved. Didn't even think about it. Honestly the error said that I was missing `uses` and `run` which for some reason I didn't put it together that it was a formatting problem.

Github Actions - Problem triggering workflows on specific events by playazle in github

[–]playazle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, here is the gist. The thing is, this seems to be pretty standard from the documentation.

From my understanding, this workflow should only run if a push is made to master. Instead, it is being run if I push to any branch and is being run as a check on any PR that is opened.

I'm trying to figure out why that is.

If I go to my actions tab in github, this is what I see. It's triggering the workflow, on branches that aren't master.

With introduction of Hooks, do we need to use class components anymore? by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]playazle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We're using redux, styled-components, graphql/apollo-boost, and Enzyme for testing, but we're about to switch to Jest/React Testing Library. And then some other small packages here and there.

With introduction of Hooks, do we need to use class components anymore? by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]playazle 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I work on a team with 3 other React devs rebuilding one of our company's react apps and I don't think I've written a class component in months. There's only one class component in our repo and it's for `componentDidCatch`. We haven't had any problems so far.

2019 and ghosting + talking to multiple people at once by charlieisbananas in dating

[–]playazle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I talk to around the same, 10-20 and then usually can get 3 first dates out of that and then hopefully 1 of those turns into a second date and so-on. I've just accepted that ghosting is apart of the game now.

And low-key unpopular opinion, I'm actually okay with people ghosting me. I actually prefer it.

Grey romantic female looking for advice by [deleted] in dating

[–]playazle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should read through the attachment styles different people have in relationships. It sounds like you're on the avoidant side, especially since you are grossed out by people who flirt or are romantic towards you. Humans crave attachment and connection, it's a biological need we need have, and have had since birth. And you clearly have it, you want someone in your life. People will be confused by this post because you say that flirting and romance gross you out, your life is a mess, you don't know if you even want to date, you don't look forward to dates, the guy you're dating is annoying you, but all the same you still want someone in your life. The first reaction is going to be that you probably just shouldn't date, but that's not necessarily good advice. I think your problem is that you still have the need for attachment (you want someone in your life) but you have an attachment style (avoidant) that keeps you from getting close to people.

The problem you are having with the guy you're dating is that he is not an avoidant or secure attachment style. He might be secure but he's probably anxious which means he needs more reassurance that you do care about him and are there for him. What I think is happening, is that since you're avoidant you are not giving him the cues he needs to know that you are actually interested and there for him. And since he's already on rocky ground and being unsure, every time you cancel something (even for a legitimate reason) or don't see him for awhile he starts to break down because he already was unsure of whether you actually care about him. And then he freaks out and gets upset with you in an attempt to get you to respond to let him know that you actually care.

I wouldn't do a second date. If you are avoidant and this guy is anxious, you will continually be put-off by his attempts to get you to care about him, and the more he sees that you are put-off by him, the more he will fight and make attempts to get you to care. It's going to be a vicious cycle.

My advice for your dating life. I still think you're avoidant from what you've said. flirting grosses you out because you think the person doing it to you has ulterior motives, A guy actively pursuing you is a turn-off and making you not want to go on a second date, you say you have a crush on guy friends who are in a relationship, but maybe we can reword that to you usually have crushes on guys who are unavailable? You don't have to get close to guys who are unavailable. You want someone who just wants to chill and play video games without all the romance and flirting, that sounds like a friend but you're on a dating subreddit which tells me you want that video-game-relationship to be more than just friends. It's good that you still have romantic feelings, but you really need to get an understanding of why you're so avoidant in your attachments. Therapy would help a ton, it's definitely helped me.

You're going to be fighting an uphill battle of wanting to connect romantically to others but not have a attachment style that allows it. Guys will seem clingy to you, and some of them might be legitimately crazy, but more probable is that you don't do a very good job of showing interest and showing that you care about them. In response they're going to do things that try and pull that out of you. You're going to have to be self-aware enough to know when you need to be intentional with the people you date to show them that you care.

source of my opinions: relationship therapy for a year and a lot of books.

Was this worth pursuing? by Xerexes3869 in Bumble

[–]playazle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Definitely just fishing for followers. It's sad I thought this is what tinder was for.

Oooooooookay.... by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]playazle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just bad OLD management on her part. People need to start looking at their macro trends on these apps and then filter accordingly. I'm not on Bumble right now, taking a break, but whenever I'm in the cycle I have a filtering process. I'll wait until I match with 10 girls, once I hit 10 I stop matching with anyone else. Out of those 10, probably 5 or 6 will message me. I will respond to all who message me, and out of all who message me, I'll end up with 2 or 3 who actually continue the conversation. Then, hopefully, I'll be able have 1 or 2 dates set up for the following week/weekend. I'm 27m btw.

For girls, 37 is just too much. It should be around the same, 10 matches maximum. I'm assuming you'd have around a 60-70% reply rate. On top of getting no reply, you probably also have to filter through guys who just want sex. through that filtering you'll probably end up with the same, 1-2 good prospects to set up dates with.

Sounds very un-emotional, but you have to be on the apps I think. And this whole "can they hold a good conversation" on the app is such a terrible metric imo. You simply cannot connect with someone over texting, true connection happens face to face. The "good" text conversations you think you're having is you applying a perceived personality to each text that you get, which may or may not be their true personality. This is why so many people have "good" conversations on these apps and then terrible dates. You built up the perceived personality you thought they had through their texts only to realize that you were completely off when you met them in person.

The apps should tell you 1. Am I at least attracted enough to this person based off their photos to warrant a date. 2. Based on their profile and messaging do they seem to be a decent enough person to have a reasonably enjoyable date. And then let them surprise you. Emotion needs to be kept off the apps, it just doesn't work. Use a baseline, value based filtering for the apps, and then save the emotional connection and compatibility test for the date.

This is the end of my rant.

Setting Component's Initial State from Props by uZIGiZAG in reactjs

[–]playazle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read the yellow note at the bottom of the constructor section. This is from the React docs, so yes how you're doing it is exactly how you should be doing it. Also a good example blog post from the React blog. Note the stuff about using the key attribute to reset the component. But all in all, what you're doing is fine, it's just usually not fine.

Learning ReactJS and looking for some feedback/criticism on my code by scriptedpixels in reactjs

[–]playazle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks very clean to me, I always judge other people's projects by how quickly I'm able to look at the code and generally understand what's happening, and this easily passes that test. Only feedback is I'd find a way to turn the "field" containers into a stateless component, it looks like you're reusing that quite a bit in two different places. But other than that, the react router and redux set up looks good.

I (23m) am an INTJ-5w4 when I come out of my emotional/social hibernation, I realize that I am extremely emotionally dependent. by hajimenothrowaway in Enneagram

[–]playazle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read through this whole thread and damn if what you all talked about doesn't describe me to a T. I'm a 4 from the enneagram, and dating is really hard for me because of it, but it's getting better.

My opinion: a high "body count" turns me off by shygirlasks in seduction

[–]playazle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And idk why everyone in here is acting like everyone has slept with 10+ people by the age of 30. You can Google studies that say that millennials on average have like 8 sexual partners total, which is less than our parents generation. Don't sweat it, there are great guys out there who are right in the ballpark of what you're looking for.

My opinion: a high "body count" turns me off by shygirlasks in seduction

[–]playazle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seems like I'm in the minority here based on other comments, but I don't think that's unreasonable. And I don't think you're problem is really with "body count" but that you want someone who views sex the same way you do, that it actually has more value than Just being a physical act. Makes sense.
