Michael from Vsauce has an interesting point about how the mere existence of scripted media messes with our minds. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gUXxOYnd49Y

From the first day humankind realized they are making things and extrapolated something could have made them, they have imagined invisible forces controlling them. In the current era it has been kicked in to overdrive because we have daily first hand experiences on peering into completely scripted or simulated worlds.

When someone has a slur in their speech because of an accent or impediment or whatever reason there may be, I need to remind myself it does not reflect their intelligence in any way.

The most ironic thing is that while nobody ever complains about it, when I hear myself on a recording I think I maybe should go see a speech therapist.

Is there any other profession where Imposter Syndrome is so ubiquitous as software development? Often you can even feel superior to some people while still feeling like an imposter yourself.

For me it may be more about the effort of handling all the responsibility given because of my skills and knowledge, so I am hoping people to call me out on all of the small mistakes and be less eager to trust me more responsibilities. I also get really hung up on trying to give perfect advice when requested to the point I would often rather do it on their behalf instead of trying to make sure I'm not accidentally leading them astray.

Aika huolestuttavaa että voi näin pitkälle päästä ennen kuin kulissit kaatuu ja toivoisi tämä olisi taas hetkeksi varoittava esimerkki, mutta luultavasti muisti on lyhyempi kuin pesukarhukravatti.

Probably the Quick View Window case on the LG G-series phones. The overview on notifications was great and allowed answering calls without opening the flap while protecting most of the screen. Also the reduced visible screen space did not blast you with light when checking time in the middle of the night.

Oli kyllä aikaisemmin mielessä, mutta nyt vasta jaksoin etsiä ja pudottaa jonkun PHP kikkareen joka tekee kansiosta kuvagallerian.

Olisipa aloituksessa ollut joku varoitus tästä :þ

Ai jai, niitä 2000 luvun alkuaikoja kun ilmaisilta (kaapeli)kanavilta tuli ihan mitä sattuu

Finland has all around signs for foreigners that the tap water is not only drinkable, but very high quality. https://yle.fi/a/3-10303369

But for some unfathomable reason, maybe to push more expensive drinks, many restaurants charge for tap water. Except they do not tell it in advance, you just get surprised by it on the bill and swear never to go that place again.
