Basecamp for mentorship. With everything going remote nowadays, remote mentorships would be even more successful with the tools mentors/mentees need.

I think you can make arguments about censorship and slippery slopes, but at the end of the day, it's going to be hard to take a message board seriously that allows those sorts of usernames to exist.

Don't waste a minute seeking advice online. There is too much survivorship bias and overcorrecting of mistakes. Plus, on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

Pursue everything that interests you, in the tiniest possible way each day, to allow room for many projects. These tiny investments will compound. Growth won't be perceivable day to day. But over time you'll learn your interests, learn your strengths, learn your particular brain's workways. You'll eventually narrow your interests to the ones that fit best, incorporating what you learned in other now-abandoned domains.

I prefer python because its fast to write and easy on the eyes, but C/C++ when speed is necessary. C is funny because you almost always end up with better code after all the time it takes to plan & bug fix... python executes without even 3 seconds of forethought.

Since Dune was mentioned I'd like to add in 'A Fire Upon the Deep' by Vernor Vinge. It was an interesting read and certain portions of the book were compelling in that it caused me to sit and reflect upon what it means to exist as a species. It's an exciting read with drama on a large scale, and has caused me to want to read more sci-fi classics

Allowing unicode characters in user names would be good. A lot of people speak English as a second language and it's unfair to prevent them from using their real names if their native languahe alphabet does not conform to ASCII. I wouldn't oppose requiring an anglicized version of names as well.

Most content consumption leads to anger, hate, and mental pain. Not consuming content leads to mellowness and peace but an uninformed stance. I used to think the world was "nice" and most people were "good" but it seems harder and harder to find those things I used to think. Is the internet just very good at highlighting the "edge cases". Does the internet accurately represent the world and its opinion as a whole or is it just edge case after edge case.
đ 2083uunx88nx39x
Well according the UN more than half of the world doesn't have access to the internet so I would say no, not the worlds. As for the people who do and the content they create if you look closely you'll find that you're probably having more negative content pushed on you than you realize. Media, advertisers etc. know that negativity gets clicks.
đ LÊo
The 1% rule ( en.m.wikipedia.org...) ) states that, as a rule of thumb, only 1% of users actually engage and create content. So yeah, the internet is good at giving a voice to the edge cases. Most people are normal (whatever that means).
đ¨ī¸ Fui
Assumption 1: content consumption leads to hate, etc. Assumption 2: no consumption the opposite. Those are just that, assumptions. Anecdata: I know several people that consume a lot of content and are fairly peaceful, as I know people who don't consume and are assholes.

Just a handful of people can spoil your perception of the others but it doesn't speak to the fact that the others are also as bad.
Dee N.
It depends on where you decide to look. Filtering is the ultimate problem. News can be addictive, moderation is difficult. My rule of thumb is to frequent places with active and stimulating conversations. Avoid Twitter, FB. Maintain a selection of subreddits which you like and actively leave the ones that start to get polluted.

What do you recommend, Vim, Sublime Text or VS Code for a newbie? I used to recommed VS Code, but everyone I recommend complained about, how slow it was than Sublime Text.
đŖ Zoid
I highly recommend VS Code, vim, and gedit for beginners. I love Sublime, but it's definitely not worth the price if this isn't something you're going to be doing long term.
Matthew Druid
You might want to specialize e.g., WebStorm if you're primarily doing frontend stuff. Worth it for the extra functionality. I use multiple IDEs (and Vim) depending on what work I'm doing. Vim is great because it exists everywhere and makes quick work of short editing tasks -- stuff you're likely to do on a new system.
Santeri Tarvainen
If JetBrains has IDE for your language, try it - I used VS Code for years before trying PyCharm and I feel like I missed my years. So much better, so much faster that it blew my mind
