This is now my personal shame for the next two weeks ... good problems, but ya - wow - I was unprepared

Not sure if related, but the page loads fine and then after a few seconds refreshes into a 404. I gave up trying to read the article.

For me it just seems to keep refreshing for no reason so the page keeps jumping around. Also had to give up.

it's quicker and easier than ever to generate a project to send to the Google Graveyard.

Mt. Adams is hardly forgotten @_@

Reading the headline: I didn't know Mt. Forgotten is a volcano.

Check out Kodu Game Lab; it was a Microsoft Research project from a number of years ago, and is still maintained. Your son won't need to learn a language, but he will learn some of the core concepts from a visual paradigm.

What do you mean?

E.g. window previews and virtual desktop miniatures.

Not seeing titanium, zinc, oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, or avobenzone.

That’s not our sunscreen.

I think part of it is the guilt of taking time off of work so everything gets dubbed "the flu" to justify it.

I've only had the flu once that I know of after an conference in Las Vegas about 12yrs ago, and it was the worst illness I've ever had. I went into work on day 1, immediately turned around went home, and nearly passed out going up the stairs. The next three days were a fugue of blinking and the shadows from the trees outside moving.

Yeah back when I first started WFH (2015-ish) I skipped the flu shot for 2-3 years due to simple laziness until I finally caught the real thing. It was 3 solid days of 103F fever which was sweating in bed, combined with all kind of mild hallucinatory effects and complete incapacity, and the week after the fever broke I had a hard time just moving my body for more than 30-60 minutes at a time before having to lie down. The hangover lasted about a month before my energy levels got back to normal ("post-viral fatigue" before that term became popular -- also there's probably a risk of persistent ME/CFS or "long influenza" post-recovery).

For anyone with unvaccinated proper influenza there should be no question of if you're going to work or not. You're not going to be capable of it. Trying to order groceries online should be highly mentally taxing.

I'd strongly recommend once someone sees a fever above 100F that they get antivirals as well and not try to suffer through it like a dumbass.

(Tangentially, compare to people who "got the worst sickness of their adult life" in late 2019 and swear they were patient zero of COVID in the US -- probably just influenza, 19/20 was a bad season before COVID hit).

You should post your hint to the other thread as it's the dupe.

Ha, bravo for changing the name so quick! I must confess, I clicked on the link, then read the comments and was super confused about the hubbub as it was called Teex, and not Tex. Cool project, hope you are able to keep it up!

For sure; I found it pretty stark how a given Computer Science curriculum doesn't cover much of what you actually need to be successful in the field: architecting, engineering, planning, testing, wiring services/api's together, etc.
