Heart palpitations, which is basically... an awareness of your heartbeat. I had an arythmia caused by the hormone imbalance so the lower chambers of my heart were out of sequence with the upper, meaning that every beat had a delay and if the delay got big enough there would also be a skip. You could see the heart beats in my chest.

I had other symptoms that I didn't think anything of: minor weight loss, sleep loss, felt hot all the time, irritability

I actually went to a cardiologist first and we did everything with no results: cadiogram, treadmill test, holter monitor, the whole 9 yards. Finally the cardiologist just shrugged and said "you're fine, so, uh, good luck?" and then on my way out he asked me if I felt uncomfortably hot at night, I said yes, and he told me to get a blood panel on my way out. I had undetectable levels of TSH, which indicates advanced hyperthyroidism

While I'll generally let someone else be the guinea pig of moving to a new hyped cure-all platform like yarn (also something about laziness = good programmer etc.).

To Yarn and Back (to npm) Again

How bad does the existing thing have to be to try the new thing that has those known issues? Or where those issues unknowable before making the switch?

Visible heart beats freaks me out. No offense meant, but thats a pretty interesting struggle (extreme productivity and work ethic/energy vs health)

Meh, weve been using yarn about a year now and have never experienced the first 3. That said, it wasnt version 1 until recently so like, duh theres bugs?

We tend to commit to V0 stuff a lot because its the new hotness. Sometimes things work out fine, and sometimes we crash and burn. I wonder how much research actually goes in before just saying f it, go for it

anyone here good with docker? I'm playing around with coding by voice software that was written by a phd and lacks documentation. I need to run 2 docker containers, one is the master server and one is a worker. The worker connects to the master. I then need to run the client from my main machine which connects to the server. All I have to go by is this gist,

I suck at networking and sysadmin voodoo so I don't know what he's doing here with the IP var. Subbing in localhost doesn't work.

I know if I just pass -p 8019:8019 that this maps the ports but how do I then access that from the 2nd container?

thanks

been using yarn since it came out, had no problems at all other than some minor yarn.lock weirdness and it doesn't always work perfect on windows. Will keep using for foreseeable future.

i don't think you're providing enough information, just my initial 2c.

I think this would be a lot easier with docker-compose, but it can be done with plain docker too. Give me a few minutes and I'll figure it out

OK so set IP to the addressable IP of the machine you're running it on. 127.0.0.1 might work, if you also run the client from the same machine and point it at 127.0.0.1:8019. Otherwise, just use whatever IP the docker host can response to (like for me it's 192.168.1.5, the address of the machine I ran the docker instances on).

If you don't know the address you can usually figure it out with ifconfig or something similar. The name of the interface will vary somewhat depending on what your os is, but it might be eth0 or en0 etc.

If you install docker-compose (I think you can install it with pip, and probably also with whatever package manager your system users) and put the following into docker-compose.yml, then you can fire it all up using
No need to hardcode the IP in there but you'll still need to know the IP of the docker host so you can point the client at it. I can only verify that it works to the extent that I can fire these up and open the root of master.

Dude on my team crossed the line again end of last week.

Decided to come in early and discuss with our boss yesterday, went really well. I was thinking of dipping but we have a very senior guy starting who has been a vp of eng before but wants to get back into coding and is sick of mamagement. He said he'd like to mentor someone en lieu of managing, and I'm gonna be the de facto mentee, but my boss said he wants to let it happen naturally and not force it.

So I'm pretty excited again.

My goal is just to become a beast at coding. I'm not doing this for my health, if someone wants a lax job just getting by and hearing themself speak, then they need to not be near me.

thanks a lot dude, I used the ip address listed in ifconfig and have it working.

I really need to relearn basic networking stuff. For whatever reason I always found even beginner style tutorials on the subject confusing.

will look into it

Has anyone else messed around with voice/dictation software to ease up RSI/carpal tunnel?? This program, http://voxhub.io/silvius, is pretty cool. I've been using it along with the vimium browser plugin to give my hands a rest when not programming and I love it. I think with a bit of practice and trial & error I could become productive with it in vim.

voice software is a long, long way from being viable for anything I'd be comfortable using over typing. I type 120wpm. no way the current tech can come anywhere close to my hands.

voice to text software has been a long, long annoyance of mine. it's just so ****ing bad usually. Everytime ios updates siri she just gets worse it seems like.

I've seen other stuff, google voice looks like it might be better but it still can barely understand what I say unless I speak very slowly and clearly. Regular human speech it just seems awful at getting.

Random thought:

People who try to use the scrum master role to act like managers are like the kid in school who is picked to take attendance thinking he's become the assistant teacher.

Oh god, yes!

Our product owner, which is at the same level as me and everyone in the team has this habit. Maybe I have to leave early because of something. So I just tell them team "I gotta leave early, doctors appointment." Everybody else will just go "see ya later", "bye" etc.

But he makes a point of saying something to the tune of "alright, that's fine" (doesn't translate well), implying that I was asking him permission. Really grinds my gears.

lol i could see this

at my job though everyone's treating me like a manager, it's weirding me the **** out.

We had a large meeting on tuesday to discuss some major architectural changes and everyone was looking at me to sign off on them like I had any idea what the **** I was talking about or like my opinion mattered.

one guy routinely asks me "is this ok?" when making changes. Like dude, i dont know, why are you asking me?

I'm getting more comfortable though. We discussed the fact how we had separate branches for each client, each with minor 1-2 line changes that affect implementation specifics (memory allocation mostly). This is fine now because we only have a handful of clients but will quickly become unmanageable later. Me and one other dev brought up the fact we could just merge the branches with ifdefs, but my boss thought that made the code "ugly." So, he came up with the idea to define separate makefile targets for each release/client. Then he looks to me, wanting me input - I'm just like "that sounds ok" and we continued on.


It's tripping me out. I honestly have no idea wtf I'm doing or what they're even talking about half the time but I'm trying to fake it as best as I can. I hear it's normal to feel this way :shrug:

idk what a scrum master is, and I feel like I'm probably better off for it

Is your company all native speakers? I kinda wonder how prevalent it is for Euro shops to work in English vs. native languages, maybe it depends on size. I randomly looked into a few tech companies located in cities I visited in Europe last year and they wanted English speakers, but they were large-ish companies.

having different code for different clients seems outrageous to me.

We have an office in Europe and English is a requirement (all meetings / "official conversations" are in English). Although native languages are spoken at various times for casual conversations.

Yea i dont know why it’s just not configurable by the user

We have a few non-native speakers in our office. Maybe 5 out of 100ish. When they are around everyone speaks English, otherwise we switch to our native language.

All code, documents, emails and other communication is in English however. We have offices around the world so often meetings are conducted in English as well (my team has 3 team members in Serbia).

You were hired for a manager position.

But even they have to know how unqualified i am.
