> I just had a shower thought the other day that with the growth of WASM, Apple could target the web as well
Lol you don't remember how Apple's been specifically trying to hold back web technologies to encourage native apps? Embracing WASM is completely against everything they've been doing for the last decade.
Nah I kind of like it. It's a low upfront cost to demo something for awhile plus it encourages developer updates if you do stick with it. Too much software gets abandoned when it's just a one-time purchase.
This. My son is only 4 months old and between all the naps and feeding, it's maybe only a few hours of actual time actively spent doing things with him. But I do have the luxury of being home all day so I work during his downtime.
Regardless, I care less about the US government having my info than, say, Russia (especially being part Ukrainian, having Ukrainian friends and family, etc...).
Digging through the link the other commentator posted, Apple complied with 88% of Russia's requests for information and 94% of China's with over 1000 requests from each of those nations...
Versus Google which has avoided giving information to or censoring search results in both countries and as a result is mostly banned.
This 100x. Of all the companies/entities that have had some sort of data of mine over the years Google feels by far the most trustworthy.
My country's agencies (Canada) have leaked more data than Google, and MS can claim they're secure all they want, I've had accounts on MS services hacked but never Gmail or Google services...
Well, we have relatively little baby stuff compared to some parents, it's still enough though. Some monitoring tech, stroller, car seat, bassinet, diapers, clothing, some early age books to help develop eyesight (supposedly), plus bath stuff.
I guess we could raise him in a cardboard box, bathe him in the sink and not have half this shit that's really for our convenience, but it is all convenient. We're definitely not going that crazy compared to the typical American/Canadian parent...
> The entire point of advertising is manipulating human beings.
That's quite cynical. No the point is to connect products to interested consumers. Case in point: we recently had a baby so I've been googling for baby stuff. Now I get some ads for more baby stuff. It's relevant to my life far more than Viagra ads or whatever other generic ads could be shown to me. It's not exactly manipulation because I do need lots of baby stuff.
1. Leave your apartment/house. Don't think about work, programming, anything. Just leave your house, go outside, go for a walk, maybe a restaurant, meet people, do things.
2. Stop smoking weed. At least stop smoming regularly and during the day.
3. Think about taking a vacation.
You need to shake things up. You need to just live life. Some outside stimulus will help invigorate you, might even help with creativity. At least you know you're in a rut, the way to get out is to sharply steer away from it.
As for ADHD, in my experience, people who are diagnosed as such do well doing many different tasks and having lots of stimuli. They get bored doing one thing. So do many things.
Anyhow, the way to get out of a rut is to do completely different things.
Edit - I also missed some of the question, how did I get out of my rut?
I'm old enough to have been in a few so have been there. And the advice above is more or less what I did.
- I took a long vacation in Europe (I'm Canadian) where nothing was planned so everyday was an adventure.
- I left a toxic relationship and didn't date while trying to work on my own problems
- I eventually moved to a mountain town.
- I make sure to make time for being outdoors, physical exercise plus coding side projects and work. It sounds like a lot but it's easier to do many things when you're motivated than to even just get out of bed when you're stuck in a rut. The more things I plan in a day the more things I accomplish.
Not going to say everything in my life is 100% but I'm accomplishing personal goals and am happy, if nothing else. Have a (non-toxic) partner and we're expecting a baby any day now, making good money, there's progress on a side business I've been thinking about doing and even though I'm busy I'm not stressed or burnt out.
