Yet another upgrade of my sim racing setup :) Need to add some bass shakers and maybe button boxes and it will be done. Not sure about done tho, it's never ending story :D

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@longlho @bazelbuild @turborepo @NxDevTools Finished them all. Great stuff. An amazing cheatsheet to revisit when designing any monorepo. Great source of examples of the complexity when it comes to CI/CD with various targets. Will def revisit for talking points in case of negotiations to convince why we need it all :)

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@longlho @bazelbuild Hehe, it seems I have a great read ahead of me. Part 1 and onwards :) Thanks for the write up legend! 🫡

Hey, if you guys will help government process immigration office stuff faster, it would mean the world for so many people. Now all kinds of immigrants that work in Poland, often need to wait for 9-12 months to get residence cards. From top Engineers and entrepreneurs, to normal folk that do honest work.
Same applies for citizenship applications, you give this country 8-9 years to then wait for around a year to finally be processed for citizenship. And all this waiting often means not being able to leave Poland until documents are done. It's ridiculous. This has to be sorted out.

@thekitze Dude my wife is on Twitter what are you doing? :D

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@Michael_Druggan @Aella_Girl Dude, that's your job. Of course you look like a Chad :) Guy above compared to an average man in the street is definitely 99th percentile or even higher. Compared to his age, maybe 95th.
You're like 99.99th :)

@ClaudeDevs What a joke :)

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@MaxRovensky It's still not production-ready even now. Like, Open Telemetry isn't working with it, even. Maybe for Datadog it's alright tho.

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@thekitze True true :)

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@MaxRovensky But that's typical for private companies to have stocks restricted even after vesting. It has always been like that from the day one, I'm sure, all these platforms that offer resell, are, if not illegal, pose a risk of being fked over, and buyers should know that.

@canyon_x_rat @tudoralexis1 Alright let's live by the events that happened more than 100 years ago and hate each other because of that.

@Dealtrade_Group @TheJollyTinkler @mtpup9 Guys, use шь and щ. СЬ is almost never used as sound in Polish and will definitely unveil that you're not from here faster than it should be.

You literally open it all the way up, so it goes full 180 degree (it actually works for all caps and it stays there), then you turn it directly perpendicular to your mouth, and voila, stuck juice, using fking gravity goes back into the bottle as you drink, not on your face.
Do not rip it off...

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

Jesus, this guy. You literally open it all the way up, so it goes full 180 degree (it actually works for all caps and it stays there), then you turn it, directly perpendicular to your mouth, and voila, stuck juice, using fking gravity goes back into the bottle as you drink, not on your fking face.

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@TheJollyTinkler @notagopnik Should be гдыбыщмы. Unless the version of cyryllic you use and know doesn't use щ :)

@NapierHolland @pbertrand_dev @levelsio @Revolut I have over 100k EUR and bought a lot of expensive stuff with it. Paid back mortgages and whatnot. Have total trust.

Imagine a 19-year-old scrolling TikTok. She watches a creator list five "signs you have undiagnosed anxiety." She recognizes three in herself. By the end of the week, she's describing herself as anxious to her friends. A month later, she's avoiding situations she used to handle fine.

What went wrong?

In a new paper by my PhD student Dasha Sandra, titled "Why mental health awareness can harm: Converging explanations for a societal problem", we argue that well-meaning mental health awareness can backfire, and we identify how. Four separate literatures (concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling) have been circling the same problem from different angles. We show they converge on three mechanisms:

1.Awareness lowers the threshold for what counts as a disorder.
2. It trains people to scan their inner lives for symptoms and reinterpret normal distress as pathology.
3. Once someone adopts an illness identity, they behave in ways that confirm and deepen it.

The evidence is wide. Learning that loneliness is harmful makes solitude feel worse. Learning that stress is harmful worsens well-being and performance. Awareness videos about fake conditions like "wind turbine syndrome" produce real headaches. Trigger warnings raise anticipatory anxiety without reducing distress.

This does not mean awareness should stop. It means awareness can have unintended consequences, including manufacturing the suffering it tries to prevent. Inoculating people against these mechanisms works, and we already have evidence it does.

@pbertrand_dev @levelsio @NapierHolland @Revolut It's a great daily driver as a regular bank. Plus, it has like 9999999 more extra features. Investments, crypto, e-SIM, points system, and all that stuff with just a couple of clicks.

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

Love to read about OpenClaw, Hermes and all that stuff to still being useless shit. Haven't tried yet, neither of them and so happy.
Once such tool will be really ready for a prime time with minimal configuration it will be hard to miss :) So I'll wait :)

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

Funnily enough there is a research that says that because we all consume a lot of AI generated text, either online, or asking questions in private chats, we start the sound like AI when writing. In a way that we start to use constructions or words that were not a common before AI era, but got common after it.
You can look up, I'm sure Perplexity will fetch the paper I'm taking about.

[Andrey Los 🇺🇦🇵🇱🇪🇺 @rip212]

@ApoStructura @MaxRovensky Yeah in Poland it's cheap :)
