I’m a performer, not composer, but what OP describes is very similar to the routines performers do: technical exercises, rhythm section chores, improv, current pieces, etc. Reps ar…

Please share “better father” books.

I was hoping to get some sort of a more direct contact from GP since he advertised the position. Not sure why would you mention it on HN otherwise. > However, applying to the right…

How do I apply? Historically jobs.apple.com is a black hole unless you know people.

> I'm retired. I am not. And I am really wary of retirees giving advice on skipping the grind, enjoy life and choose a warm feeling job. I don’t have a house and if next round of l…

As for existential crisis, you probably have missed this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46962402 It was really fun

- function extension is defining a function where it is not defined - function extension is an extension that keeps (or gives) Adj property - extended function is usually treated a…

This is what differentiates (pun intended) between Complex Algebra and Complex Analysis: complex functions in analysis are multivalued (or path dependent in some schools). Even a s…

I believe this is correct: x/x = 1 everywhere except 0, where it has a removable singularity. So you can extend x/x holomorphically to full C. This is completely different from the…

You’re not wrong. But the “advice” to find someone or “get out of relationship” is never helpful. It is “find a job” kinda one if you don’t understand why. I hope you’ll find a dif…

I agree I am not a good role model for marital advice. That is why I am not giving any. All my advice is about self-care when your only company on vacation is, for whatever reason,…

It really surprises me how entrenched the idea of “gym” is in everyone’s mind. For me Pilates studio is a gym too. Maybe this is a “transcontinental” thing?

Yes. Lonely people have a lot of time. It is rarely an issue. Motivation is. OP complains about dreadful 60 hours and not about being too busy. I can relate.

Visit every EU capital. Or every national park. Or every bookstore in 100km radius. Just some arbitrary traveling goal that will get you out of the house every month or two.

There are many kinds of gyms and I’m sure you’d like some. But since we’re talking loneliness here I’d particularly recommend to check out (and hang for a while): - bouldering gyms…

> Are we talking about affording in time? Mostly weather. There are very few locations where “bike every day” is a reasonable statement. Consistency is key.

Gym is important to set a body routine and get it used to “flush” emotions out with sweat. Daily exercise when in vulnerable state is non-negotiable imo (but hard). Not everyone ca…

I was single for 10 years after college. Then married for 7 (very very badly). Then single for another 10. I thought I will spend the rest of my days alone. I have two kids now.

Being outdoors is a big differentiator for me. I find (uv) light exposure to noticeably improve my self being. Also I can’t stay productively in the gym for 3 hours, but I can easi…

To get things out of the way: yes it is hard being alone. But it is also hard to be with someone and is very hard to take care of kids and family and such. And it is waaay harder t…

performance-noexcept-move-constructor is great but it also complains about move assignment operators, which are completely different beasts and are practically impossible to make n…
