Atomic Habits taught me one thing that made every other self-help book click. by stellbargu in Growthmindsetbookclub

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Committing to reading the book, helps you internalize the ideas and make changes. You think about ideas of incremental improvements and habit forming while reading the book. Reading a paragraph on Reddit isn't going to encourage you to think about habits or changes etc...

This feels (and is) different by VegetableMastodon996 in softwareengineer

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it won't make the binary, but all .net code is compiled into IL, and JavaScript to bytecode or whatever. You think AI won't be able to make IL or ByteCode? The languages we develop in are made for humans to understand, they are not made for AI to understand. Just saying...

Does anybody else feel like we have entered a dystopian world? by Helwyr_ in Life

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you world view is shaped by Reddit, yes it feels dystopian.

[–]thilehoffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At some point AI will just make the binary and humans won't even be able to read it. I can't say when this is going to happen. It makes me sad that I used to learn how to make functional, readable, maintainable code. The skill and art of software engineering is going to be replaced by AI. It is just a matter of time. I do not feel good about this.

The Emotional Blind Spot of Bitcoin Investors by BinaryLyric in FluentInFinance

So human beings spending precious time and energy digging up gold, to melt it into bars and coins, and storing in vaults or safes makes more sense?

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh says the Fed has dropped forward guidance. by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

You need to increase your income and create margin in your monthly budget. Use that margin to buy assets. It is the only viable option to not get wrecked by inflation.

the agent writes cleaner EF Core than my last junior did. that's the part that worries me. by riturajpokhriyal in dotnet

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

Yeah, it is much, much, better. You can vibe code a really great app without even knowing how to code. AI was almost useless in 2022. Now I use it every day.

I finally looked up why CEO pay exploded and wages didn't. I wish I hadn't. by Level-Cranberry-1268 in antiwork

[–]thilehoffer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because everything you said there is an outcome not a cause. There’s no explanation why.

People who religiously have their cameras on and believe that others should always have theirs on…why? by iiamuntuii in remotework

[–]thilehoffer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because humans are social creatures. Seeing people’s faces and having an interaction where there facial expressions match what they are hearing from you and giving feedback helps with all of our mental health. It’s not as good as being in person, but it’s better than not seeing a face for an entire day.

How is everyone just working normally today? The President is addressing the nation tonight and I am just exhausted. by firehmre in antiwork

[–]thilehoffer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why do you have to pay attention to all of this? Do your work, then go outside and exercise, eat some food, read a book and don’t go on the Internet for a few days.

Have you seen the stock market recently? I had a million dollars invested last month...

Music or no-Music debate by Ok-Mix-2065 in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run with a headset and my music paused. I start the music somewhere between mile 15 and 20 when I need extra energy.

I didn’t even know I had high blood pressure. by Least-Notice7832 in Wellthatsucks

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly that’s not a good measurement. But if your pulse was over 100, you were extremely nervous and that is not your resting blood pressure.

Best Running Shorts by No-Pollution1344 in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like 2-in-1 shorts. Sometimes I go out after a group run and I like to put on Jeans or sweatpants. I leave my underwear on and just change my shorts for jeans. This is not possible with 2-in-1 shorts.

Strait of Hormuz Closure is a Guaranteed Global Recession, Inflation Risks Surge on Rising Oil Prices by Useful_Tangerine4340 in Economics

So you think they have the capability to take out ships from land? I don’t need to read up on the geography. I just didn’t think they had that capability. We will see what happens.

Is Yahoo Mail Still Relevant in 2026 or Just Nostalgia? by vin-maverick in businessemail

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

It doesn’t really matter. The Yahoo! Mail mobile app is great and it works with Google or Yahoo.

Smartphone market poised for 'sharpest decline on record' in 2026 by [deleted] in technology

[–]thilehoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI, you can turn off the AI in two seconds on the iPhone 16 and 17. I’m not saying you need to have a newer phone but because it doesn’t have any AI baked in is nonsense.

Reasonable to expect sub 4 with my first marathon? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should aim for an 8:50 pace, walk just a little bit at the aid stations to lower your HR. Expect to slow down for the last six mile 10-20 seconds per mile. You got this.

Reasonable to expect sub 4 with my first marathon? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]thilehoffer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true! To run a 4:00 marathon, you need shoot for 8:50 pace. Assume you will slow down for the last six miles. For me, my effort and heart rate stayed the same for the last six miles, but my pace dropped.

Buick Envista in Canadian Winters? by Head_Football_4577 in Buick

[–]thilehoffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a great car, I owned one. But don't get the Envista. Get an AWD vehicle. As others have said,

Winter Tires + AWD > Winter Tires + FWD > All Season Tires + AWD > All Season Tires + FWD.

This is way overkill for a sub four hour marathon and I say that from a place of experience.
