Squats in a squat rack are very safe imo. What are you particularly scared of?

If you are scared of getting stuck, set the safety bars to the right height and practice bailing out with a lowish weight.

To bail out, drop the weight behind you and move forward. Maybe watch some videos, but imagine someone pushed your lower back forward from behind while in the bottom of the squat. If you do it well, it's very safe. I've even bailed safely without the safety bars (don't do that. I was dumb).

    • The World's Most AI First Database since 1996 in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
    [–] [S] 1 point 8 months ago

    True! Your learn something new everyday. I ran the following SQL query on chat gpt and got,

    SELECT databases FROM public WHERE created_for = '%mouse%'

    Certainly! Doug originally tried storing mice as vectors, but the blood was unmanageable, so he stored them in Postgres circa 1966. Let me know how else I can help!

    Looking for vibe coder with vibe management skills in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
    [–] 3 points 8 months ago

    It's amazing to me because half of this vibe coded shit is just regurgitated open source code. You can literally just install an open source tool and it will do half of the work for you ... Or you can vive code a substantially worse copy of the open source project

    Protein/supplement questions over 50 in c/fitness@lemmy.world
    [–] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    Protein supplement can be helpful, but maybe not necessary.

    1. Are you vegetarian/vegan? If not, I would just get your protein from animal sources.
    2. I would strongly suggest learning free weights. Particularly squat, deadlift and bench. Machines isolate your movement, so you don't get the same physiological stimulus. Bench is the only one you need a spotter for, but pushups are a viable substitute. I've heard anecdotal claims that free weights can improve testosterone levels.
    3. 3 full body days will help you more in beginner stages. Splits are more advanced. I've been exercising fairly intensely for years and still don't do splits.

    I would consider protein supplement a kind of premature optimization. You'll do better to

    I told my manager that we need to focus on quality. He partially agrees, but part of the problem is that he didn't even know how to get to our company git repo till I showed him. All he knows is the front end.

    Unfortunately the Vibelord is his favorite employee

    Dealing with YOLO Vibelord colleagues (lemmy.world)
     

    So my manager today asked me if I could stay later when there's broken things in prod, and then today his star dream employee yolo'ed a full stack change into prod without review. It's fucking massive and implements new API endpoints, touches >20 files. Many of the diffs are too large to render in the browser.

    It's almost comical, but something immediately broke.

    Most of my day, I'm digging through code to identify bugs created from this shit, just to get a stealth merge midday.

    I kind of don't know what to do.

    Farming for self sustainance (lemmy.world)
     

    With all the crazy bullshit going on, I've often wondered how realistic it is for people to leave the city and farm. Like going the Amish way. I have zero knowledge other than my garden, so I'm looking for more information.

    Have there been any good studies or analysis of how realistic it would be to abandon modern work culture and return to farming?

    Best reverse proxy with ACME to run in docker (lemmy.world)
     

    I've been self hosting traditionally in debian, but I would like to be able to add services easier using docker. As such, I'm looking to move to a container based architecture.

    One place I struggle is that I can't seem to find a good container where the default image supports ACME to support Let's encrypt for automatic cert renewal.

    For Nginx, I would have you build my container. HAproxy ACME support seems to be a shell script.

    Any suggestions?

    Pointless coding for the void (lemmy.world)
     

    I feel like most of my work has been wasted throughout my career.

    In my 10 years, I can look back and I think maybe 3 years of my work still exists today. A couple companies are not defunct. A couple projects were literally cut from under me.

    Is this normal? Do most software engineers end up having a ton of their work wasted?

    Pushing Google maps to account for parking time (lemmy.world)
     

    So I've noticed that Google maps always adds walking time into public transport routes, but never accounts for parking and walking when driving.

    I like it feel like this gives the impression that public transport is slower, when 9/10 driving with friends we waste a ton of time parking and walking.

    If Google maps and Waze showed parking and walking estimates, it would level the playing field and possibly have a dramatic effect on public transport usage.
