72 Psychology says people who are nice on the surface but have no close friends aren’t lonely because nobody wants them — they’re lonely because the version of them that everyone wants is not the version that needs anything, and a self that never needs anything is a self that nobody ever gets close enough to actually know

I’m 66 and I finally realized that I’ve spent my entire adult life chasing a version of success that my father defined in dollar amounts and job titles — and the reason I feel so empty now isn’t because I failed, it’s because I succeeded at building someone else’s dream and called it mine

EXPLAIN Prettier или пост-процессинг планов запросов в Postgres

Add to bookmarks Don't show Habr

danolivo (Тантор Лабс, Postgres Professional) @ Habr 1 place · today 17:12 EDT

Эта история началась с подаренной коллегой своей новой книги: читая Jimmy Angelakos’ «PostgreSQL Mistakes and How to Avoid Them», я осознал один напрягающий меня факт — в Postgres команда EXPLAIN выдаёт слишком много информации. И примеры, которые автор обычно приводит, рассматривая тот или иной аспект систем баз данных, усложняют разбор задачи и рассеивают внимание. Так и родилась идея постфильтра для эксплейнов — чтобы сделать их более читабельными и проблемно-ориентированными. Читать... Read more ›

Psychology says people who would always rather call than text aren’t demanding more of your time — they’re asking for the one thing that separates a real conversation from the performance of one, which is the sound of another person being alive on the other end, and that need is not inconvenient, it is human

Psychology says the loneliest form of resilience isn’t surviving hardship – it’s being so good at handling everything alone that people stop checking if you need support and eventually you stop believing you deserve it

Lachlan Brown @ Silicon Canals · 03/28/2026 18:45 EDT

There’s a version of resilience that looks like strength from the outside and feels like disappearing from the inside. It develops gradually, usually starting in circumstances where needing things was costly in some way. Maybe needs were dismissed when they were expressed. Maybe the people who were supposed to provide support were too overwhelmed themselves. ... Read more Read more ›

The most persistent misunderstanding about introversion is not that introverts are shy.

Introversion is something else: a specific relationship between stimulation and energy, a matter of where the nervous system is ... Read more Read more ›
