You want an award? I hate working with JSON without a prettier.

A few weeks? How do you stay employed? How do you even feed yourself at that pace? Blocked on making a sandwich, I’ve got the wrong type of bread.

It’s three lines in an editor config file to standardize the indents across any editor: https://editorconfig.org/

In vscode, adding two extensions is all I need:, yamllint (if you don’t use linters, I don’t know how you do your job in any language) and rainbow indents. Atom had similar ones. I’m sure all IDEs are capable of these things. If you work at a place that forces you to use a specific editor and limits the way you can use it, that’s not YAML’s fault.

At a certain point, it’s your deficiencies that make a language difficult, not the language’s. Don’t blame your hammer when you haven’t heated the iron.

So it’s easy to enforce locally but you don’t have to. And it’s easy to see indentation on modern IDEs and you can even make your indents rainbows and collapse structures to make it easier to see what’s going on, but I guess since some people want to write it in vi without ALE or a barebones text editor, it’s bad? Like there are legit reasons it’s bad, and other people have mentioned them throughout the thread, but this seems like a pretty easy thing to deal with. I work with ansible a bunch and YAML rarely is where my problem is.

YAML mixes 2 and 4 spaces

I think that’s a user thing and it doesn’t happen if you have a linter enforce 2 or 4.

It’s not even the same day to day for me.

That’s how I started to see them as anuses.

Meds. Tried a bunch before I found what worked for me. Stimulant side effects and efficacy and availability lessened over time. Straterra did not work for me. Guanfacine is going well.

If we could all just stop making changes to time zones, that would make my job very slightly easier.

Every single video ends on a black screen with a silhouette of a mouse wielding a sword with a Bible verse (just the book and number, not the actual text) on it.

Elsewhere, he does talk about it https://youtu.be/WDu2ldAxHyc

Edit: this is more of a how did you miss it than he’s religious, it’s in every single video, rather that an exhaustive list of where it leaks into the main parts of his videos. I stopped watching him, I’m not going to go combing back through to find examples.

Destin’s religion is a turnoff for me along with the inclusion of children. His reactions are way too over the top, too. Used to watch it a bunch but have slowly drifted away.

By being an awful company that has the reverse Midas touch, where everything they buy turns to shit?

It’s the Hiss

Yesterday. Gotta grep those logs.

Do not try to become her manager or parent or psychologist or coach. It will negatively impact your relationship.

https://www.getinflow.io/post/adhd-authority-issues-defiance for some ideas on why.

If you have a problem with how she is behaving, you will not be able to change it through external influence. If she really has ADHD (emphasis on disorder where it is negatively and significantly impacting her life AND is diagnosed) and is unmedicated, the single best thing she can do is get medicated, and that’s her choice. If medication isn’t working, she should talk with her provider about it.

If she requests help, feel free to provide it. Feel free to ask her (and not internet strangers) if there’s something you can do to help her as she’ll know what works and what doesn’t as ADHD isn’t a monolithic diagnosis and what works for one person might drive another up the wall.

Sorry if this seems a bit negative, but I was in school when all the Where There’s a Will There’s an A and all the techniques in the world did not make a difference to people that can’t utilize them, but they can frustrate and shame people.

If you really need to get pumped up/stressed out, add Quick Man beam noises to his level’s song.

That’s a moray

Ah, typically it’s DMs that alter mechanics and approve homebrew. If I were running a campaign, and I had a player saying “I want to change the rules so you have to run the game a certain way,” it would be a huge red flag.

If a player wants to play in a certain way, it’s not usually the mechanics that prevents them. Your example where you picked a ranger that didn’t fit what was going on in the campaign, that seems like a failure of communication. The DM allowed you to think wearing a snorkel in the desert was a good idea. I don’t think having a class with snorkel AND fins would have helped in the desert and I don’t think the fins would have forced the DM to put a river in to suit the diver class. I don’t think it’s unreasonable or unpleasant for the DM to say: this is a dessert campaign, you’re not going to want a 60 pound tank on your back for this even though it’s very helpful in a situation where you’re trying not to drown.

I don’t think restricting what can be done or changing mechanics would make that DM any better or make communication any less necessary or force the DM to make changes to the campaign.

Again, it’s best when collaborative and avoiding unpleasant conversations leads to just as many problems in d&d as it does in any relationship. Rules aren’t going to help if there’s not communication.

The mechanics in d&d are mostly about combat and skill checks because as a player you get to decide how you behave and the mechanics are there to have a framework for that. If players aren’t acting like you want them to as a DM and you feel like it’s a good idea to enforce your desires through changing the mechanics, you’re going to disappoint yourself and frustrate your players. If you want a certain style of role playing, that’s something you can discuss with players, but it’s ultimately collaborative as opposed to enforceable.

I do this, too. The only remedies I know are a walk or a colleague’s fresh perspective.

Yes. But part of that for me is greater expectations on adults and lots of stress. Burnout will suck all the enjoyment out of everything. Depression will, too. Medication may help. Might be worth looking into.
