  • I am not really answering your question, but I had this crush on a girl because she was 10/10 on looks and also seemingly innocent as a young kid. In the end, she was really immature on intelligence and emotionally. I wouldn’t date someone like her again.

    I say I am not answering your question because you only provide an example of a fact she didn’t know. My answer is more general, this kind of thing you saw on her is something that the person I am describing could have done, easily. To me, personally, taking the whole bigger picture, with more examples like yours, plus some context, and given my previous experience, this is a red flag and make me just walk away from them…

    So, to answer your question, give it a few more tries. Look how do they react when corrected (if they laugh then is quite cool and fun moment.) but if they feel “insulted” then there’s lack of emotional maturity too… that’s my red flag.


  • While we are at it, let me share my secret: carrots as a snack (together with sports). Of course, this is not an exact recipe for success but it did work in my case and I’ve been surprised by it. I started training kickboxing again this summer, and I lost 4 kg in the first weeks, as expected. Because “we loose all the liquids”, or so I’m told. Anyway, I was weighting myself in the scale every now and then but I always kept the same weight. Then, suddenly, one day I was off another extra 7 kg… I was amazed. I haven’t weighted myself in a month. I couldn’t believe it (except that I already felt I was thinner, when touching my belly; and faster during the sport…) So, the a few days later I was talking to my mother and I told her how I’ve been coming from work, eat a carrot or two, and go straight to my training session. And that’s when it hit me… it was a matter of replacing cookies, fruit, or anything else I’ve been doing with carrots. Their crunchy really satiated me, so that after the sport I would eat a normal meal and not a bigger one (which I belive has been partially my problem so far too).

    PS. I couldn’t find a cleaner, high res. version and pictoline.com (listed there at the source) only has it in spanish. To make things even worse, there are many edited versions that replace nazis with other ideologies :/ f* the volatility of the internet… Oh. gotta search the internet archive… yeah, nope… not there either. Anyone can find a better version or knows the original source to this? else shall we try upscaling this JPG?





  • I thought I was agreeing with you for naïve comparisons between software products. But since you got into my example… I will have to say: from the problems you describe (like getting a signature by both management and HR), I barely see anything related to documentation of PostgreSQL (which was my point). And I struggle to see, for any of the issues you mentioned, how Windows SQL server is any easier. Plus, almost all organizations (Big and small) are using postgreSQL and not Windows SQL server.

    Last but not the least, I can’t understand what you’re asking at the end: Does an “entrenched” anything sound “nimble” to you?

    ???


  • To be honest, open source and documentation (plus, chatGPT correct answers) are way more coupled in some open sorce projects than Windows and all their magic tricks, error codes, and so on. The fact that there is some sort of commercial support that is bigger or better with proprietary software (generally speaking) is true and partially because of network effect. I do agree with you. But I think it depends on what are we comparing… e.g. Windows SQL server vs. Docker PostgreSQL. I rather stay with Postgres, since it runs all over the world.
