how about the blood preasure?

count me in ;)

Hey! Shoot me an email and I’ll send you instructions

He seem to not realize the damage yet

i think he does, but chooses to not complain. according to:

> Upset stomaches. One early meeting every two weeks doesn't sound too bad. The worst problem is that it can leave me with an upset stomach that can last for days. I'm still working fine, it's just uncomfortable. I don't know if other people suffer this or why it happens. Maybe it's just the extra coffee.

There should be a mutual understanding of expected hours for any jobs, and compensation and respect for timezones and work life and health balances. your body needs sleep, feeling tired when you try to wakeup, is your body telling you to not wakeup yet...

but if he volunteered that its okay with em, fine.. but hope he does not expect others to have the 'suck it up' mentality

edit: formating

Right, this kind of job can improve, and should improve. But right now there's talk of ending remote work entirely, without considering that people have been making the effort for years, hence sharing an anecdote. The bigger point is that remote workers are more accommodating than is assumed, and my anecdote is an example of that (even if it is too much).

One other factor I'm curious what people think: If you were offered 7-figures USD to do these kind of hours from anywhere in the world, would that make a difference?

> If you were offered 7-figures USD to do these kind of hours from anywhere in the world, would that make a difference?

Depends, if your work schedule leaves you so drained that it leads to extreme burnout and eventual depression, along with a string of health issues, then it doesn't matter how much money you make, because spending it won't bring you the joy back, and you may fall into a shopping addiction in order to keep you stimulated. Sometimes I think of telling my boss that I don't want a raise, I want less hours at the same rate.

tell em! i feel a lot of folks feel obligated to burning themselves out to justify their newly gotten raise.. then they get burned out and are functionless at work - or worse, making constant mistakes.

removing artificial stress from the workplace can be very powerful; valuing employees wellbeing crucial (but it involves caring, paying people, and a healthy work-life balance) - to me this means less work hours and keeping the pay consistent, plus removal of commutes (especially if the job is computer related enabling somebody to click buttons on a website so the end-user never has to leave their home couch).

happier healthier employees means they can focus more and care about what theyre doing.... otherwise, be a zombie i guess

the issue is many companies don't value people who "work less"

Yes. You are also probably doing interesting work.

Good stuff! What is your vibe coding setup for flutter? (Models, custom instructions etc). How granular are you with tasks given to the agent?

Quite an interesting perspective, sadly it’ll likely never get implemented in any capitalistic economy

That rumor is the biggest obstacle. If you believed it was possible, and instead told others it was possible, it might actually be.

I like the compactness of the UI, really well done!

I was trying to build the app locally, but it's failing:

``` wojtek@Mac Hacki % flutter run Launching lib/main.dart on iPhone 16 Pro in debug mode... Running Xcode build... Xcode build done. 51.3s Failed to build iOS app Error (Xcode): lib/blocs/stories/stories_bloc.dart:254:15: Error: Property 'isEmpty' cannot be accessed on 'List<int>?' because it is potentially null.

Could not build the application for the simulator. Error launching application on iPhone 16 Pro. ```

Hilarious indeed! https://chatgpt.com/share/676ef6e2-4f4c-800e-aa56-4450056c24...

pretty wild how similar the answers here are

Could someone explain in simple terms, what’s so tricky about spinning off a v2-compatible chromium fork?

Forget about forking, just offering a build of Chromium for a single platform and architecture that gets the security updates in time is a lot of work.

People who remove v2, own ad networks, develop chrome and write standards are the same people. It’s new age mafia, cancer of the internet and they do everything for you to not be able to just spin off a fork.

So what would they do?

Already done: used lying tactics to make their browser and ad networks dominate, bloated the standard to make browser development unsustainable.

Right now: rooting out the entire possibility of running full adblock-capable extensions from the sources, so that even chrome-based browsers could not support it back.

Chromium is maintained by the largest ad company in the world.

It’ll drift apart over time and become ever harder to track the upstream without engineering effort

google can weaponize structural changes to make any v2 maintainer's life a living hell, the code base is massive.

I'm wondering if it works the same way if the solitude is choosing you.

The first line under the article headline says solitude isn't the same as loneliness.

And I assume you understand that ... ?

Why are you replying to GP's comment that is not talking about loneliness but solitude?

What exactly is it meant by Solitude choosing you? To me that sounds like involuntary time spent alone, solitude chasing you, which could also be understood as loneliness.

You are sent to Antarctica for 3 months.

You don't feel lonely but the contrary, you are quite excited.

You come back and write a blog post titled "I found my true self during an unexpected trip in solitude" or something.

Because that wonder can be cleared up by simply reading a few sentences of the linked article.

I downvote anyone who says “I wonder…” and then asks a question the article answers.

Frankly I read the article and found no references to non-chosen aloneness other than 'When we don’t choose it, it’s isolation, Bowker says.'

The article continues beyond that sentence!

> But you can be alone and not feel lonely, or you can be with others and feel lonely. “Loneliness really refers to perceived social inadequacy of relationships

> “One of the clearest findings on solitude is if it’s chosen for the value that it has, it’s going to be a more positive experience,” says Netta Weinstein, a professor of psychology at the University of Reading in England and a co-author of “Solitude: The Science and Power of Being Alone.” “If it’s forced on you, it’s going to be a less positive experience.”

In fact you are right but the text is a bit hard to interpret for me. The only thing I can get out of it “If it’s forced on you, it’s going to be a less positive experience.”

So if it is non-chosen solitude, it will be less positive than chosen solitude.

Now what is the answer to the downvoted question, i still don't know the answer and in fact i wonder as well.

Looks cool, but how does it actually differ in functionality from a regular mokka pot? Where is the pressure coming from?

The physical principle is the same as the moka pot, the water boil in the tank and the steam pass through coffee. The main difference is that in the moka the steam flows from down to up and in the kamira from up to down and it's not going to burn the coffee dust. I can assure that the coffee with kamira is exactly like the one that you can taste in a bar.
