I get very grumpy and useless when I don't sleep. Tried a few times, things like a birthday party in my teens where we would play poker all night long, and a hackathon where we wanted to make the deadline. I try not to do it anymore, because nothing good comes out of my hands/mouth at some point.

Regarding the issue of being afraid you won't be back in schedule before school starts: i totally recognize this. I try to make an effort to plan enough time to wind down on Sunday evening (if i have to get up early again). No social media, no news, no action packed movies or tv shows, some herbal tea around 8pm, only a few lights on in the house, meditation a bit earlier in the day to clear the mind, start brushing my teeth on time (around 9-ish) and actually go to bed at or a bit before normal weekday bed time.

I don't always manage, but I do find i cannot sleep when I totally disregard these steps. I then just lay in bed being afraid i dont sleep wel enough and that makes it even harder to sleep.

Some thoughts that help me reduce stress:

"My body knows what to do and will make sure it sleeps when it really needs to. Worst case we can just try again tomorrow"

"It's ok to wake up in the middle of the night, that's just how sleep cycles work. Just go to the toilet for a bit and try to have another go. If it's thoughts keeping me awake, write them down so they can be handled later on"

Sleeping is important, but your body can handle quite a lot, so try not to worry too much.

The problem is that AI is not useless. It has a lot of other issues, but not that it is never a helpful tool.

This is such a foreign question for me. In the country I grew up in children are kicked out of the door to go and play outside as soon as possible (age 3 or 4? Idk, long time ago). My parents would give me rules like "don't cross the big road! And home by 6" and I would ride my tiny bike around the neighborhood together with my friends.

I think you'll just have to go out as much as you feel OK with. And maybe think of a plan B for when things do go wrong. Stay close to other people who can help out if something goes wrong, tell others where you are and when they should expect you back, take self defense classes, have a phone at the handy, etc.

It's difficult to think when seeing this picture. Amazing ass!

I don't think an invasion of the most powerfull army in the world is something you can really prepare for in most cases. It costs way too much money.

There's so much stolen data, let's produce more data that can be stolen...

I feel 1984 we passed the situation in 1984 now, and the book now depicts a utopia instead of a dystopia.

Yes, but how many did they introduce?

Met de kans als boomer te klinken: ik denk oprecht dat "grote techbedrijven" hier een aanzienlijk aandeel in hebben gehad, meer nog dan politici wmb. Ze maken winst door angst te zaaien en doen dat vrij letterlijk de hele dag door, omdat iedereen op zoek is verslaafd is aan dat beetje dopamine dat ze krijgen door negatieve berichten die ze op hun telefoon te zien krijgen.

Maar goed, wie ben ik.

Having worked in both a very seperated multirepo codebase and a monorepo, I've got to say, at the moment, the monorepo (using pnpm) wins hands down for me.
