Taekwondo. Cooking. Creative projects. I've also done therapy on and off, 1-on-1 conversational therapy as well as Psychodrama in a group therapy setting. Therapy is nice but I wouldn't say it is the thing that helped the most.

What's cool about the Fediverse, as long as the censors miss one instance that federates with the blocked ones, the content is still accessible. Slightly OT, but some Mastodon instances are blocked as well, e.g. I could not access mastodon.gamedev.place without VPN when I was in China two months ago.

No applesauce? What about deep-fried battered bananas at the Chinese buffet?

What's with the downvotes? They are trading for ~$80k a piece currently and have been around since 2017. I'm not saying it's a solid investment, far from it actually. But I don't believe they will be "worthless" any time soon.

Wasn't a good read for me. A boring intro and then some speculation about possible new laws in the future, and Google Topics API mayybe making cookies obsolete.

I don't see how the gameplay helps with the programming tasks, and I don't see how the programming tasks enhance the gameplay. Let's assume the game is already finished, I think the game part would be improved by replacing the programming part with a simpler, more rewarding mechanic. And the programming part could be improved by getting rid of the gameplay, as it would remove distractions. Pulling off educational games that people actually want to play is notoriously hard because of conflicting goals. IMO you should aim for a more integrated experience with in-game "coding" and direct feedback.

I mean yes, see https://servo.org/ It has to be seen if it's really going to be a usable browser engine, and if it will have less security issues.

"Google said 70% of serious bugs in its Chrome Browser are related to memory safety. These can be reduced by using safer programming languages." Theoretically yes, but I doubt that's possible in the real world. Low-level programming languages are being used for performance reasons and not because people like to use them.

If you end up hating your job just keep looking and find a different company or position. Job satisfaction is so many factors, e.g. how well you get along with your coworkers, how much recognition you get from the higher ups for what you do and so on. The career path you choose now might not affect the outcome that much.

For me it helps to plan ahead and assign tasks to the upcoming days/weeks. It shows me that not everything needs to be done at once, and clears my mind when I'm overwhelmed with too many things on my todo list.

Any of the Papa's games from Flipline Studios. They cost a few dollars each, very casual singleplayer without any ads or IAP prompts.
