I liked being 16. Mature enough to design grand plans. Naive enough to actually try them.

Plus the greatest adversary I face for the rest of my life would just be standardized testing :P

Back in middle school I wore a Woodstock shirt to school and one of my classmates came up to me and was just like, "Oh man I love Woodstock". I literally had no idea Woodstock was even a thing (I thought it was just some random words on a graphic tee). Wanted so badly to just tell him that I only got it because I thought the bird on the guitar looked cool but ended up getting tongue tied :,)

Stability gives way to chaos which gives way to stability once again. While the state of a two-body system can be modeled via simple closed form equations, the mere introduction of a third body turns that which was once predictable into a chaotic mess whose behavior utterly escapes human understanding.

These were the thoughts racing through Dr. Wang's mind as he prepared to enter his first VR threesome. That and why he had agreed to any of this at all in the first place.

I remember I clicked into one of his videos from the homepage out of sheer curiosity and ended up getting super distracted trying to solve the take-home exercise at the end

Software people, how do you do releases? (lemmy.world)
 

My team has this one shared component that gets involved in like every feature's development. This year, we're loading like 5 different features onto it, all with different timelines, and my head's about to explode trying to figure out how to make it all fly.

How does everyone else do their software releases? Do you freeze prod and then do one big release later? Throw everything into prod during dev, hope no one sees the unreleased stuff, and just announce it later? Or something else entirely?

Background+rant: I'm in my early to mid-20s and still living at home with my dad. I'm not a NEET and am employed at a normal office job. I enjoy the comfort of my home. I like being with family (and I believe they feel blessed to have their kid at home longer). I like not having to pay rent. However, I also keep feeling some nagging pressure to "grow up and leave the nest".

Everything in my mind tells me that moving out is irrational. I would lose 1/3rd of my income to rent, go through a bunch of logistical hoops to find a new place, lose the last few moments I have with my family, just so I can prove to nobody that I'm independent, maybe discover new things, and also probably get in on some of that loneliness action that the rest of my generation is going through.

Yet, the pressure is still there. No one looks down on me for it, but I feel a bit embarrassed to tell people I'm living at home, like I'm admitting failure or incompetency. My friends will occasionally ask when I'm planning on moving out and the question just lingers longer than it should in my head. I compare myself to my parents and grandparents and can't help but feel like a child compared to the people they were when they were at my age.

Obviously quite conflicted on this, so I'm interested in seeing what others have to say.
