This is also very true in the presales engagements by top consulting firms under "Digital Transformation". These presales teams would come and show, on paper, how great they are with the agile practices, devops, microservices, you name it.
However, it's a totally opposite story during the actual implementations. I've witnessed that it took a top consulting firm 4 months to provision a sandbox environment while being 1 month away from the first release. When asked about their proud DevOps practices, you'd hear excuses that are in the blatant lie territory. They knew they could get by by managing the stakeholders instead of really doing what they had promised.
Remapping a combination of the windows key + another key like a backspace to Caplock gets the job done for me. Even shift + caplock would also solve the problem
Not the guy who you have asked but teaching, in my opinion, has meaning. You are teaching people how to get things done in one way or another. Or you teach a method, convey a message, something along those lines. Outside of that if working e.g. to solve something for a municipality, I think you have a more or less direct impact on peoples lives.
I‘m teaching college students programming and remote sensing with python mainly. It’s giving them the tooling for the rest of their career in my eyes. I try to make methods clear instead of telling them what to copy and paste so they know what to do in case there is no instructor. It’s hard sometimes because programming seems to be scary at first but it’s rewarding if you see them succeed in tasks for example.
I learn and I get more confident. People from my previous job looked down on me due to many reasons. I get excited that I have more capability to prove them wrong or be better than them day by day.
3 is implied to be better and replacing 2. I'm not sure if the future we are heading to is actually that way but the name kinda led people to believe it is.
It's essentially supposed to mean the full maturation of P2P solutions that can rival the centralized web. A modern decentralized web, with finance included.
There are plenty of things still missing which make it not mature enough to do so, which are too numerous and esoteric to name. But one example would be "account abstraction" (https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-4337) which I believe would enable communities to trustlessly share a single wallet (pooled funds/coins/gas) for various operations related to the service they're using. Doesn't sound like much, but would open up the possibility of some wacky services.
From my perspective, the end goal is to make digital networked vending machines that can't be tampered with. That's pretty cool, and there are already some interesting ones out there like PoolTogether (https://pooltogether.com/). What would normally be considered an obvious scam can actually be built legitimately with web3 tech.
Eventually some very very interesting EIPs will be deployed, and that will drastically change what's possible with "web3" - making it possibly live up to the name.
I would seriously warn you that if you have to quit it later, you will not find it fun at all. Actually it was a nightmare for me because I did it cold turkey, but from what I read people who tapered off also found it quite difficult. You can expect to totally lose productivity at least for a whole week.
Also when you're off it even a day, hypersomnia is guaranteed. You're going to be sleeping 16+ hours a day.
To provide another data point, my experiences with ceasing the use of lisdexamfetamine are pretty much in line with heavy long-term caffeine use: if you quit it cold turkey (or miss a day or two due to the quirks of the doctor/Rx system for this stuff (if you take it plan ahead and make sure your new prescriptions don’t have to be issued on a holiday)) expect a week or more of fog and brain-splitting headaches and lethargy. It’s better to stop slowly. Cutting your dosage by 25% each day and then holding at a minimal dosage for a couple days seems to work the best for some.
Also if you have issues with addiction, it’s probably best to stay away entirely. The mental quieting it’s prescribed for is inferior to that of a good cup of coffee (entirely subjective, YMMV) and there are a whole host of negative physiological and psychological side effects.
2¢ of unsolicited advice: if you need this stuff to keep your brain on track so you can handle your job (especially post-2020), and your doctor suggests it, might be worth considering after exhausting other options — at least that was the case for me, it can be worth it. But if you’re surviving otherwise and just want a focus boost the risk:reward ratio is way off.
HN is absolutely social media. Reddit and message boards, too. If you’re on a website socializing with other people or consuming socially-generated content from others, it’s social media.
