I've been plowing through Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu recently and it's been really great. I'm on the home stretch of the last book and so excited to finish it.

All about space exploration, first contact, invasion, advancement and philosophy. A really great thinking book and leaves me with lots of uncomfortable feelings to ponder over. The pacing of the book took a little bit to get used to but it does well to help grapple with the time and space scale it is working with.

I needed to learn Go quickly for a small little side project and I was able to run through the fundamentals Go track in about a week and a half doing a few exercises here and there.

I've been exposed to quite a few programming languages so a lot of the common principles are there for me. What I really needed was to learn how Go is different and what the unique things about it are.

For example, I didn't need to learn about why loops are important. What I did like learning is how a for loop in Go was structured and how to use it in different contexts. Utilizing range was a great thing I picked up from their examples.

Exercise is a great hands-on tool to supplement and support learning.

Even the synthetic ones are great. Your options for colors are a bit more limited but the quality is still good. Would still recommend those over Bombas. I was disappointed in the Bombas quality and found myself having to buy them more often due to wearing down quickly.

Ultimately I hope you can find what you need! All the best to you, friend!

A lot of great advice in this thread.

Adding a note here about socks. Don't bother with Bombas. They are fine, but no better than other generic socks you will find out there. I was all in to the hype of them too but after using them for a few years i found they don't hold up any better than other socks. I wouldn't consider them an "investment".

Now, if you want to invest in a sock, consider getting Darn Tough. They are more expensive, however their wool and synthetic socks are pretty solid. I find they hold up way better than my Bombas ever did, are much more comfortable, moisture wicking of wool is very good and, best part, if they fall apart, wear down and get holes, Darn Tough will replace them. They will have you send them back and give you a credit to get a new pair. Full credit. It's fantastic. Highly recommend.

No, they don't seem to last long at all. Those two there have already fallen off but there are three more farther down.

It brings me a lot of joy that it was happy enough to flower for me. I spent many years thinking I was terrible at talking care of plants, but now, knowing and better understanding what they need, it has taught me a lot.

Thanks for your comment!

There's more ads on that page than content too. I can't tell if there a hidden joke here or what.

More than just tolerate, I think you can find a certain amount of joy in this time of change and really relish something new, unusual and different. Just because it is new and uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to be unpleasant. Figuring out how to be sensitive to your own emotions and work through change quickly can get you there.

Do you think this will change over time where one community on a specific instance will gain the market share and all others will evaporate away? And if it does, doesn’t that just place us back in the reddit situation?

To the second question of putting us back in the Reddit situation: Yes.

If you want one platform, that's what Reddit did for you. How did that work out?

This discomfort that we feel from many communities paving their own ways I think is temporary. We will learn to adapt to this. I think this is not a fundamental problem with Lemmy, but a UI/UX issue that new UI features will help us handle as the needs are outlined and the "pain points" are made more clear.

One platform or source is not the answer. Freedom in choosing from many sources of information is where the real benefit lies.
