The Word of Wisdom, which outlines the health guidelines of not drinking alcohol and using tobacco, as well as eating less meat, eating more grains; was originally just as the name suggests, words of wisdom.

Joseph Smith drank wine, used tobacco, and drank coffee up to his death.

It wasn't until the early 20th century when it started to be treated as a commandment. This is around the time when they started codifying a lot of doctrine, stopped practicing polygamy, and started to function more like a mainstream religion and less like a cult.

Source: raised Mormon, went on mission, took religion classes at BYU-Provo on church history.

When does something become mainstream? The Steam Deck has sold millions of units.

I'm way overthinking this, but I'm going with finite. It could be an unfathomably large number, but gender is a human construct and there are a finite number of humans. Let's say each human that ever lives has a unique gender identity - there could be billions or trillions, but it would still be finite.

Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you've done some good work you can start relying more on word of mouth and charge more.

I would recommend doing some small jobs on Fiverr or Upwork. Contracting isn't for everyone, nor is running a small business. Fiverr and Upwork will be pretty disconnected from your local contacts so if you mess up or decide it's not for you then it's easier to leave.

Ultimately it's networking, instead of rolling your eyes when an acquaintance has an app idea you can offer to help.

I'm unsure. A lot of people are saying yes, but they are also implying to do so preemptively which I don't agree with. I would rather wait a few weeks and see what effect it has on this instance before making a decision.

The Phoenix Project (and The Unicorn Project) by Gene Kim really opened my eyes up as an engineer and made me feel like I could start fixing the problems I was seeing on my team, on my project, and in my organization.

I started reading The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier and have really appreciated how straightforward and relevant it is.

Help me fill my Amazon cart!

Hey, my meme I reposted got reposted to this instance's programmer humor. Cool!

I stole it from someone else, so no worries OP. I honestly just like how Lemmy can enable these "reposts". I think it's fun that someone else that a dumb meme I thought was funny was actually funny enough to post it again.

IMHO, it's a horrible hack that is just broken. It's obscure and we need to rewrite it because it has a bad structure. ^X^Cquit^[ESC][ESC]^C

Is that term even used anymore? Feels like it was everywhere a couple years ago.

We have 1 TB microSDs. A pigeon could probably carry at least 100. If I did my math right(which i probably didn't), if it takes 24 hours of travel that's still a 8Gb/s connection.

Looks like there has at least been a small team working on ffmpeg for some time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg#History
