Or write a script to do so. Don't forget to test it first.


What this guy describes is social anxiety, not introversion.


I mean, lets also avoid pretending there is zero overlap. I am an introvert largely because my brand of social anxiety causes me to function better in typically introverted ways. Introvertedness is a spectrum as opposed to something with clearly defined boundaries.


There is no overlap, it's two different traits, both of which are a spectrum. You can have full social anxiety while not having any introversion, and vice versa. I am introvert very much and yet I have zero social anxiety.


Would it be fair to say “You are an introvert by necessity rather than by choice”?


That's a strangely difficult question for me to answer, this being the first time I've been asked. What is your intention with it? You have me curious.

Thinking briefly on my answer, I would argue (mostly with myself) that it is a mix of both. For example, I consciously make choices about how to conduct my day or a specific task that will fall within the boundaries of my best operational parameters...which I understand makes me sound like a robot, but I am anything but (nor do I understand enough about robotics to pretend otherwise). It's just a matter of having enough self-awareness to listen to what my brain and body tells me works and does not work for me, noting what does work, then trying to accommodate myself for best results. In another comment, an introvert mentioned they can get up on stage and talk to a room of 500 people if they had to. I can do the same thing...so long as I know I have nothing to do the next day, because that action will cost me a ton of processing power and I will need to rest for a long time compared to, say, an extrovert. So, there's a consequence to be consider when making that choice to get up and talk to that room of people.

Alternatively, this also begs necessity. As someone who has actually been diagnosed and rediagnosed with anxiety and having tried different types of treatment to see what works and what does not work (choice, again?) I have learned one thing is for certain; this is not a thing that will just go away or be "cured" in the traditional meaning of the word, so it becomes necessary to learn to work around it.

In my experience, our choices and necessities are often the same, so it's a blurry question with a blurry answer.


Being an introvert isn't a choice.


It can run on zLinux, but that's not as interesting as z/OS.


Your Linux based docker containers can work on all major platforms, how is that not a portable experience?


There are more OSs than Windows and Linux :)


What other portability platform supports all of them? Only the browser if anything, so we build everything in Node and Electron?


Russia is making Ukraine a puppet state very explicitly. Putin said so on his blog.


Yes, but it's much easier to see it in hardware than in software.


Not the OP, but yes. All my friends are former and current coworkers.


Same here, I guess because I'm such a nerd, I have more affinities with like minded people that I often met at studies and at work. Other connections are fine but I'm not sharing the same dark humor and geek vibes with them. With WFH I still go to the office everyday and the people who I only see once a week seem too distant to me and we dont know each other very well.


This kind of cheap cable won't fast charge in any case. Add a few dollars if you want that.


I hope I don't come off sounding like a twit, but does fast charging really matter all that much to people? I've had a few fast charge cables before, and although it's fine to have my cellphone fully charged in say, 20 minutes, it doesn't really mean anything to me, given that it will be left plugged in over night regardless.

Perhaps it's more useful to people who are constantly traveling, but for someone who isn't, I guess I just don't see a point in it. Would I turn it down? No. Would I pay more for it? If it's greater than 2$ more, no. Slow charge is "good enough" in my eyes.


I really value fast charging. Normally I turn it off because I do charge my phone at night. But sometimes I really need the boost and it's great that it can do so if needed. Especially because i normally limit my phone to 80%.

I don't use it a lot, probably once a month on average. But the times I do it's invaluable.


It's very important to me. I keep forgetting to plug it in at night and then I can just charge it for 30 minutes before I leave the house and can get a couple of hours usage into it, which is normally enough.


I was frustrated all day because I couldn't find my fast charging cable and just couldn't leave the phone plugged for more than 15-20 minutes at a time due to various activities, which also required a lot of battery charge (photo/video shooting), so I was dancing around the charger all day...


I never charge my phone overnight. My charger is on my desk. I'll typically do a slow charge, but I'll do a fast charge in some circumstances (e.g. when I'm going somewhere soon but my battery is low).


Laptops need the additional power that fast charge can deliver to run/charge.


Isn’t slower charging better for the battery too?


The problem with fast charging and batteries is overheating, and more frequent overcharging. It's possible to fast charge in entirely safe, non-damaging ranges.


I'm holding a thin USB-C Samsung cable right now.


It doesn't, fix your tool.
