Am I missing something, or is there no way to use plugins with the herdr app?

I probably owe my career to him; it was learning the old fixed pipeline OpenGL API from his tutorials that led to me making games, and those games that led to a family member encouraging me to interview for an internship at his company. All that led to a 20 year career (so far) in software engineering.

People with poor comprehension have been changing code for years, and in great numbers. Doesn't mean it goes well, mind you.

To be fair, that only tells they've been in the industry since at least 2008.

Kind of like how disposable vape pens often have a 24 MHz Cortex-M0+ with 3 kB SRAM and 24 kB flash, which would have seemed ludicrous a while back.

I was in the same boat. When I bought this house it had a standby generator, but not on the same meter as the well and not enough power to run my central heating. I recently upgraded the generator to be able to power everything and switched the well onto the house panel. Such a huge improvement.

Can confirm. As someone living on well water in an area with semi-frequent power outages in winter I have periodically been given renewed appreciation for the value of power, central heat and running water.

Now I have a great standby generator, though, so I'm sure I'll start taking it all for granted again soon.

I live in an area of the US where the only alternatives are 3.5 megabit DSL which stops working when it rains or Hughesnet, so basically no real competition at all.

"Quietly" seem to be the most popular headline word this year.

> But is that not also "following a path laid out by someone else?"

Not really. I'd use the analogy of breathing. Imagine you're convinced that you need to breathe properly, so you consciously obsess over each breath (congratulations: you are now breathing manually). Then someone comes along and says "you know, you can just breathe without thinking about doing it right."

Is letting go of that manual breathing and just breathing without thinking about it following a path laid out by someone else?

It sounds to me like their "trick" is simply not acting from the psychological position that you need to do something you're not doing in order to realize your authentic or best self. Wu wei?
