Gemini is good, but please remember that the value could always go down sharply. It is not usually best to buy at the peak of the chart. (opinion, not financial advice)

I liked the weapon storage for keeping certain useful/powerful weapons, especially since it took me forever to find Hestu's second location, and the bed is nice to have as well. Mainly just a fun thing to have, and I'm hoping they pop something house-related into the DLC.

Agreed. I've always wanted a useful house in a Zelda game. Now I have one. And the game just keeps getting better (albeit a little too easy so far)

Sorry I can't shed much light on how to get through this. I'm stuck in the middle of it as well, ending my weekend being frustrated and angry that I wasted it. I don't believe that lack of enthusiasm is necessarily at play here. However, I used to be very good at this, putting in several hours of work and several hours of learning/projects over the weekend. Things that I believe (but haven't tested) helped me then: Feeling accomplished during the week, not sleeping in on Saturday, optimizing my home work environment for productivity, and setting very small/realistic goals.

To that last point, I believe both of us could benefit from the "GTD" (David Allen) approach. In particular, utilize the "Clarify" step to write out 1-3 small things you want to do each day. Instead of setting yourself up to "build a small thing" or "learn a subject," split the day's tasks into easy stuff like "init git repo" or "read first chapter of intro to Go."

But, if your week burns you out (my main motivation for a lack of will on the weekends) you may be better off resting. Schedule your downtime in addition to your learning/project time. Give yourself time before and after your project to zone out and click links aimlessly. And, if it suits you, get a buddy to be accountable with. Someone who's going to ask you on Sunday evening if you've taken at least one step toward your goal. Hope this comment helps.

Similarly, we hooked up the N64 in the motorhome on a tiny CRT TV and played split-screen (Tony Hawk, mostly). Great times, terrible hardware.

I think this is the only reason any of us landed here...

That's pretty similar to what I was asked over the phone in an interview for API support (I forget exactly what the title was) for Google Maps, I believe. I got the SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK answer; questions about sorting algorithms; and stumbled a bit on random Linux questions, even though I use it daily as my desktop OS and have administered various Linux web servers for years without issue. I guess I use the man pages too much. The recruiter didn't cut my phone interview short, but did tell me that the technical interview was going to be WAY harder and that I needed to study my Linux, low-level networking, and algorithms. It was a good interview experience to have, but left me feeling like I'd never have the knowledge to pass a technical interview there.

Interesting. I'll have to try it and see how it compares to my current gaming AMI where I just use Steam or Remotr to stream things like Dirt and ARK.

Flux has been awesome for me, I've been using it for a long time. Redshift more recently, but does a good job too. Twilight for Android is a very nice counterpart for my phone.

They may not be able to accurately answer the question, but that doesn't prevent if from being a helpful question. If your answer to this question is "no, not at all," you should be aware of that fact and use it to guide decisions you may be able to make.

I asked myself (now 27) this question when I was only one or two years older than 20, and realized I needed to make a change from what I was doing. My mind has certainly changed several times since then, and I expect it to change several more, but the initial "no" answer was crucial to getting me out of what was essentially a career in tech support.

Yes, that seems about right. I also do not get paid nearly that much, but the location (San Francisco), caliber of required employees and the overhead of benefits certainly adds up.

This has been my main HN client for several weeks. It works well.

I liked them about equally, but Atom is really slow on my work computer and crashes on my laptop. VSC is much more stable.

Definitely do this. I'd say even $15/month would be a good price point for a hosted version.
