<Style TargetType="Label" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Label}}">After watching Joelle's TED talk and reading her book, it just hit me that most of my life, I wasn’t really taking responsibility. I was responsible in certain areas but in terms of health and actually wanting to live… not really. I trusted things (and people) were going to turn out how they did and I could only go with the flow.
Basically Come What May thinking. My disability and my environment kinda of reinforced that.
Doctors: nothing you do will make a difference… eat whatever you want and hope for a cure
Parents: make the best out of your current situation, you can't really hope for more.
Work: you did a great job… keep working hard (for the little that we give you).
And of course myself: I am disabled, things are hard, what exactly can I hope for? Why set high goals when it seems they will be unreachable, just try to make the best I can out perhaps just enjoy the life you have left…
Well the last part after the or and that thinking in general might be the cause of the downturn in health… I really like chocolate, meat, junk food…. Don't like exercising but hey… I didn't matter… there what the doctor said and you know do I really care when I do.. But then again that belief had to come from somewhere...
So seemed dying ASAP isn't such a bad idea because there's nothing in this world that I like… other than maybe some food and TV. Hence why I binge on both...
But after watching her and Martin Pistorius’ talks, something inside went off… can I actually do better than my current situation and were decisions I made correct or just heavily influenced by my environment?
Did I place my trust in the wrong people… maybe I should've just done what I did back in school…
If I want something done right, got to do it myself. Got to take responsibility… for my own life… all of it…
But now the question remains… is it too late? But I guess YOLO right?
Alright time to give it a shot!
Interviewers at Google are more interested in your thought process and ability to solve problems than your ability to answer a single questionhttps://www.quora.com/Does-ones-extreme-knowledge-of-Android-programming-alone-able-to-fetch-that-person-a-job-at-Google
No. Google, like most companies of that caliber, doesn't care much about which programming languages/technologies you know.
...
To be perfectly honest, people who define their programming skills by their languages/technologies tend to struggle more.
Consumers don't know what they want?But there's usually a small group of people, a super minority that does tend to know what they want. And well maybe they aren't exactly consumers... they are more like technologists... without the super smarts to get into big tech shops... or just the cramming needed to get past the interviews or have any interest in joining...
For lunch at work I always buy, mostly because I really can't make my own the night before and don't like eating left over dinner.
I use to (grammar...) eat at Panera and griped about how much it cost: $7-8 per sandwich, $4 for a soup… other restaurants are similar or even more expensive probably because the area has a lot of banks.
A month ago, I came across a huge sheet of coupons for a fast food restaurant and have been pretty much eating that for lunch up to now. $4 gets me 2 burgers and fries!
However... I just realized a correlation. Lately my productivity has plummeted... Brain kind of feels like mush at work. Also my motivation for doing personal work like coding, learning algo, and blogging (yea...) have been near zero. Even watching TV feels like a chore.
So to confirm the hypothesis, I ate at Panera on Friday, and it seems to be working. I wrote this post! However, this is rather short and I'm writing it at 12 AM (ideal blogging hour?)... and editing at 9AM while sitting outside (so maybe it's just the fact of having nothing else to do and I wasn't really tired last night).
Another benefit I guess is since you are paying so much, you may feel richer. I think there's the saying: you are what you think/believe/do.
So if you believe you are rich and act like it, you will become rich!
list.Sort() is good enough… at a tech companies it rarely is. ab[123]cde[456]fgh\[.*\] gives me abfgh\[.*?\] yields abcdefgh
public string Name {get; set;}
private String name;
public void setName(String value)
{
name = value;
}
public String getName()
{
return name;
}
Or slightly better
C# (Slightly easier)
private string name;
public string Name
{
get
{
return name;
}
set
{
name = value;
}
}
() => DoAction(someParameterInTheCallingFunction);() =>

MethodThatAcceptsFunc(DoSomething)Func<object, int, int, int>(int1, int2, int3) => return DoSomething(int1,int2,int3));object DoSomething(int a, int b, int c) and again you could just pass in the method directly.
