#183Happy new year!! Everyone. I want to finally get my first job as a developer. I have been trying to transition into tech for the past two years. I have been teaching general and advanced mathematics in high schools here in Nigeria. My goal will be to finally land a programming job in 2022. Anyone hiring or any senior looking to take a valuable junior under his belt I'm open to working, learning and adding great value…
Good luck! Having a math background is surely a plus!

> Find activities that both my boy and I enjoy. Do you want ideas? If so, how old's your boy and what have you tried?
Thanks! Please do. He is 15-16 months and we are doing these activities: - Riding snow sled; - Reading books; - Playing toys I guess the real issue is on my side because I don't enjoy physical activities, while babies of this age typically need a lot of physical activities and "reading" is essentially just punching at the books and looking at the pictures, plus the books are pretty boring for any adult.
I recommend the set of Eric Carle books. Our toddler enjoys all of them immensely.
When reading, do not multitask and try to make sure you discuss all details (how many stars, where is the moon, let's count the frogs, etc.)

#186I'm thinking of resigning first thing. I took the Christmas break to mull it over and came to the conclusion that I'm not happy where I am anymore, even if it is comfortable and decent money. Once I'm settled into a new job I'm hoping to get on to the property ladder so I can have my own space. I'd also like to get a bit fitter so if I can find the courage I'll try going to the gym. In the meantime I'll continue with…
I left my IT job two years ago and things have worked out just fine. I've become a lecturer in further education which I really enjoy. I also lost 70lbs by changing my diet a bit and walking for 45 minutes a day. Good luck. It's a good idea to have something lined up. I had something temporary to pay the bills for six months then took it from there.
Where do you work/live?
How does lecturing work out in the time of COVID?

#188I recently read Atomic Habits by James Clear, and also listened to some process philosophy from Steven West's Philosophize This. One takeaway that I had was on the danger of setting goals. I am trying to build a mindset of 'becoming' or to embrace the journey of the goal rather than really trying to achieve a specific milestone. - I want to reduce/eliminate my alcohol consumption to become a person that doesn't rely…
I like the idea of pushing the journey to the forefront. My new year is trying to be more in the present and not take for granted the blessings I have. * Congrats on removing alcohol from the home thats a big first step, keep that one aspiration and I think it'll have a profound impact. Not trying to push this at all , but CBD ( delta8 ) helped me with the cravings ( its kind of like the side effect of smoking weed,…
I will add, CBD and Delta8 are very different things. CBD is not like smoking weed, it's just relaxing and I believe what the parent is referencing. Delta8 can (and usually does) contain Delta8-THC, which is far more psychoactive than CBD (its purpose is to be a legal alternative to regular weed, its made to be as close as possible). Now, if you wanna actually smoke weed you can get weed that contains very low Delta9-THC (Delta9 is weed as we've known it for decades) with high CBD that will not get you (very) high.
I don't even know if Delta8-CBD exists but if you go somewhere and ask for delta8, it's going to get you high and potentially be very not relaxing. If you ask for CBD specifically, it will not be highly psychoactive. Just be careful out there these days, it's only getting more confusing and marketing heavy.

#189There is so much to learn (automated theorem proving, graph neural networks, reinforcement learning, theory of mind, ...), yet so little time. Any tips on how to prioritize?
I would focus on one area that I find the most interesting and where I would be willing to go all the way [1].
[1] from personal experience, if you many things, you will not end up doing many of them at a top level.

#190We're about to have our second kid in spring so that is the biggest thing to look forward to. In prep for that, planning to switch out our sedan for a minivan (due to 2 carseats). Apart from that, try to keep learning. Pickup something new I didn't know, last year it was chess, this year haven't picked anything yet (maybe swimming).
Most reasonable recent sedans have two or three isofix points, so I do not see the need for a van when you have two kids. The difference in handling and refinement (noise, cabin quality) is quite large, although the extra space is nice.
