Do you work out or do physical exercise of some sort? For me, that was/is the key to good sleep.

Writing is a highly underrated skill. Start practicing how to write effectively, to be succinct and precise.

Reading helps in more ways than you might imagine - voraciously read.

Build many things. They don't need to be large, they don't need to be fancy.

Amusing to see reddit's advertising system put an advertisement from Triplebyte on there and looks like almost any other post ;)

Unbroken - Laura Hillenbrand. Story of human grit and survival in the Pacific WWII theater that I hadn't heard of before. I was blown away by the story, and about what I learned about the War that I didn't already know.

Creativity Inc. Re-read it this year, re-inspired.

The Outsider - Stephen King. Well written, engrossing but a typical Stephen King novel

Shoe Dog - Phil Knight. Story of Nike. Phenomenal.

Bad blood - John Carreyrou. Story of Theranos. Absolutely crazy read.

7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy - Hamilton Helmer. Good insights on strategy

Not currently, unfortunately. The complexity of how the Dropbox client works is enough to not pollute libdropbox with at this time. The idea here is correct though - were we to rebuild it at this time, we would look at potentially abstracting a lot things into a libdropbox-like library

I'm surprised you haven't tried harder to optimise the download size ... the blog post says it ships a nearly full Python runtime, but surely you don't actually use it all? The core interpreter is I'd think quite small and Python code should compress very well.

The ultimate fallback always is to revert to letting user sign in manually. Installation success doesn't depend on cookies, so that should be just fine.

Ever sat backwards on a train? Or first class in a plane? It doesn't matter if you're not driving.

As was already said, some people get sick. Also, many more people prefer to be facing forward on a train. I know I personally do. Sure, I can handle facing backward with no problems, but I just prefer facing forward.

I much prefer facing backwards, because I know in the rare case of crash that I am going to be much safer.

This is also true of aircraft and cars and buses and coaches. Sadly, most people do feel uncomfortable facing backwards and so the risky forwards-facing seating is used.

I really don’t think that kind of risk mitigation is of much utility.

It would save many lives in cars.

I know a lot of folks who get car sick sitting backwards in busses.

I'm late to the party - where is part 1? Tldr?

Older developers get garbage collected

There's an easy solution to that problem: have two older developers take each other as references....

That's what's known as "forming a consultancy".

Don't most garbage collectors use tracing?

Only the younger ones...

Actually, tracing GC is older than reference counting.

Only when their reference count reaches 0.

young generation garbage gets collected more often :)

They do better with generational collectors

then they cast to void()
