This is what I'm talking about. The idea that "going for a walk and getting sunlight is good for depression" is so universally unchallengable that I must live somewhere terrible if it doesn't work for me.

Vitamin D supplementation didn't affect my depression. Going for walks to get more sunlight made it worse.

I understand that not everything works for everyone and I wish those around me, including my doctor, did as well so they'd stop blaming me when their "cure" doesn't work on me.

I'm sure it won't happen but I really want to see twitter refuse to operate in Florida, effectively blocking the entire state due to this law.

They do say that this is only the first version and that they have more features planned, including a live testing environment.

I worked with someone who was definitely the nitpicker. He would even nitpick PRs that he wasn't a reviewer on and would happily unwind a merged PR just because he hadn't had a chance to review it first.

Many of the things that are often nitpicked can be automated with tools like linters. This really helps cut down on the pain of code reviews for both the author and the reviewer.

That would probably be a better way to improve productivity since I rarely use my phone for phone calls but it is still always by my side.

> I need the Internet for ...workwork...

> You probably don’t, and maybe it’s time to look in the mirror and be honest with yourself.

That's where I stopped reading as obviously this article is not directed at me.

Unless there is a way to troubleshoot and fix remote servers in the middle of the night without internet.

Makes me wonder if online for-profit schools have government permission to offer instruction in the state.
