A large part of why I left my business after eleven years six months ago was because I mismanaged stress to the degree that it had severe consequences upon my health.

At the time, like a frog in warming water, I constantly normalised it - working 20 hours a day for a year isn't stressful, it's heroic! I enjoy this! I thrive on stress. The booze? Oh, that's just to help keep me awake.

About four years ago I stopped eating and sleeping properly - I mean, previous to that I hadn't done either properly either, but four years ago it ceased to be voluntary. I lost huge amounts of weight. I told people I was on a diet. I started having bouts of delirium and puking that would put me out of action for days or weeks on end, unable to sip water even, slipping in and out of sweaty consciousness. I told myself I was just really unlucky with food poisoning.

About six months ago I just stopped - couldn't go on, couldn't face another day in the hell I'd created for myself, stomach knotted from anxiety and hunger but not hunger. Went on sabattical. Watched mountains for months. Read. Cried. Ranted and raved. Began to heal. Got medical help. Discovered that I had given myself a stress driven syndrome not really seen since children in fucking Victorian workhouses - cyclical vomiting syndrome.

Gave notice. Sold equity to company, made orderly transition. Three months on, I'm still coming to terms - beginning to remember wanting things, having desires, not feeling like every moment not spent working was a betrayal - being able to feel something like joy. Above everything else, I haven't puked in months and I'm even beginning to have to watch my weight.

The main thing I've learned on reflection is that I did this to myself. I chose roles and responsibilities that crushed me, and I failed to emotionally disinvest in the company as it grew. I also habituated stress to the degree that I didn't even perceive it as stress, and denied it to myself even as I ground my teeth to aching stumps. In hindsight, I can of course aim to not put myself in the same situation again, but at the time I had nothing to really check my reality against. People around me were supportive - but rather than saying "hey, you're killing yourself", it would be "want another coffee? Need smokes? You work so hard." - so essentially enabled the behaviour rather than confronting it. There's an almost dangerously cultish obsession with industriousness in our society.

I digress.

The other thing I learned that I hadn't really understood was that stress can ruin your physical, not just mental, health.
What do you use IA Writer for? I can't figure out why we should use it instead of a generic text editor by looking at the screenshots.
I have a friend that is to damn good as a developer and allowed one of the big Canadian companies failed projects to burn him out thoroughly.

He is looking into opening a bakery now, and by the look of it, no amount of convincing is going to change his mind.

So no matter what you do, your mental robustness and coherency comes first. Don't let anybody every come close at touching that.

Btw opening a bakery is an amazing prospect if you go into it full force ahead, with happy thoughts and planning. Opening one as a result of a burnout, well I guess it can be therapeutic, but not sure about the validity of the idea in that case. Taking half a year off everything can probably bring you more life force at your disposal.

Is it okay for a female to find a work spouse in another female? Is it okay to have multiple work wives? I am a guy and there are guys at office who I trust, have the same sense of humor etc. Am I work-gay? I don't get this.
I like it.

But it needs a big "HIDE" button besides every article.
I second Rails. Besides that it provides lot's of out of the box features, there are tons of useful gems. There is also really interesting new API-only mode.
Yeah, I kinda think the distance to the nearest hospital should be the first and last in the list.
Yes, I don't get why we need that "wife/husband/spouse" name instead of "friend" or "buddy"? Wife/husband/spouse sounds very intimate, and I don't think it's a good idea to imply something intimate with your coworker (unless you really like her/him and plan to advance, but that's another problem). Also, I don't think my girlfriend would be excited either when I text her back: "oh, don't worry, I'm just having dinner with my work-wife".
Fun fact: the simplified ISA and language for this machine were designed by David May[1], who was the architect of the highly-parallel Transputer[2] in the 1980s.

The Hex machine inherits a few features from the Transputer, including the PFIX and NFIX instructions - a rather unique way of loading arbitrary-length registers using only instructions that have a fixed 4-bit operand.

Ok, so code that is memory unsafe (broken!). One must still say "unsafe" to bring it into Rust (to use ffi, or make a safe wrapper); so there is still a clear location in the Rust code that is to blame.
Perhaps you should try that on a French keyboard for example. Ctrl + Alt Gr + ( on the top row instead of just banging Esc
Probably this article would have not been posted here (and the underlying survey funded) if they were using the word "good colleague".

Using "spouse" instead suggests a sexual dimension that just isn't there.

Even the original survey result quoted is about a work colleague: Special, platonic friendship with a work colleague characterised by ...

So, the title is IMO clickbait.
I don't consider myself friends with my work spouse, and I don't consider my friends at work to be work spouses. Thanks for describing the most accurate term for this particular real human relationship of mine as "stupid."
They are constantly sharing fake news that confirms their bias.

In the Navy, we refer to these partners as "boat boos". There are varying levels of intimacy, but many are just close friends who aren't so close anymore when the ship returns to home port and everyone goes back to their real lives/wives.

This can apply to single people who have work as their connection, look forward to seeing each other during the work day, but then leave it all at the office when they go home.

>Secondly, this wave of populism that seems to engulf us, well, look at -- and it seems, in your words, to come from the United States. Look at the European Parliament. There are a lot of people who are looking for simplistic solutions, who are sort of preaching policies of -- well, very unfriendly policies. We have them here in Europe, too. We have them here in Germany, too.

>And to take up where the President left off, digitization is, in a way, a disruptive force, a disruptive technological force that brings about deep-seated change, transformation of a society. Look at the history of the printing press -- when this was invented, what sort of consequences this had. Or industrialization -- what sort of consequences that had. Very often it led to enormous transformational processes within individual societies, and it took a while until societies learned how to find the right kind of policies to contain this and to manage and steer this. And I think we live in a period of profound transformation, very similar to when we had a translation from agricultural societies to industrial societies.

The same goes for the climate, I guess, if you don't feel it, it must be okay. But it's not.
To add - many "good" credit cards provide "return protection" which allows you to make a claim against the card to get a refund within the first 30 days if the original vendor won't accept a return, and warranty extension which extends the original manufacturer's warranty a year. I have used both benefits quite a bit, and have always had a great experience.
I think you'll find most of the rich and powerful are not scared of the internet at all but just happily use it to get what they want. Those that are scared of it (usually governments) take the appropriate measures to keep tabs and limit it where necessary (usually quite successfully).

As to the YouTube example you gave: I'm not saying the Internet didn't open more possibilities to the individual, but reaching thousands of people is still a long way from being able to make a difference and is not a threat to anyone. By the way, that channel is not available in my country so if he wants more listeners perhaps he should let his information be more free...
Which is larger, e^pi or pi^e?
There is no such thing as free. Perhaps you mean included in developed country taxes and/or deficits?
I don't use k8s, so forgive my ignorance, but what are the use cases in "the enterprise"? How many "enterprises" need to manage 1K microservice containers to approve weekly timesheets? Is this just a play for companies that want to run their products/services on private cloud?
While this article gets some things right, like non-competes, I must warn that having read a fair amount of Regional Advantage: Culture and Competition in Silicon Valley and Route 128 by AnnaLee Saxenian, from the viewpoint of someone who rode the Boston area tech scene from the heights of the very late '70s into it's death in the early '90s (what's there now doesn't have much continuity with "Route 128" of legend), she got the Boston side of things so wrong the book is worthless as far as I could tell.
They don't view themselves as separate, they view themselves as part of a unified whole. It seems very strange to pluralize them when they don't even pluralize themselves.
I can only speak for myself, but it is a more intimate relationship than that of a work friend. "Intimate" doesn't mean "romantic."

I spend much more time interacting with my work spouse than with any other co-worker. We trust each other with things we wouldn't necessarily take to other work friends, like plans for our careers. We also provide for each other: snacks, Tylenol, contact solution, a fresh pen, whatever.

I used Thinkpads before switching to Macs in 2008 or so. I still have my 2013 rMBP and don't plan on replacing it anytime soon.

The Thinkpads are/were great Windows computers. I'm not sure if that is still the case. I have one for work and the F2 key is already detaching and my nub mouse stopped working this morning. I suspect after being accustomed the MacBooks, any Windows machine will have irritating issues you will have to get over.

I operate a restaurant and I know about 50 people who do. Believe me - there is no shortage of stress and your just as likely, if not more so, to get burned out.

My actual wife has a work wife. I arguably have a work husband in addition to my work wife, but I don't think he'd identify that way.
Just like how some people like to report areas in terms of football fields or Belgiums and weight in terms of busses and whales instead of SI units.

In cases they seem to be reporting a price in terms of random objects instead of currency. For reference the price converts into roughly 1.5 pints (US) of gold
This is true. However, Facebook & Google deal mainly with 'dumb money', eg, ad money not analyzed or checked. Fraud doesn't affect people that know how to calculate ROI from a CPC campaign -- fraud affects "Coke" trying to run a large spend near the end of the quarter. Thus when these large companies ignore fraud or view inflation -- it does steal from ad companies that could have offered a real ROI and it steals from the client.

That's quite possible. I had not realized that the downvote option disappeared so quickly.

I think my karma accrued overnight, so when I noticed I'd exceeded the threshold a lot of the thread was perhaps a day old. The only thing I am relatively certain of is that some of the older comments in the thread were not downvotable, and the newer ones were.
The most interesting thing in that article for me is that the profit margin that VW has at the moment is just 2%. A relatively small drop in car sales (from, say, autonomous Ubers?) could eat their entire profit and then some. Is the entire car industry run like that?

There are too many experts inventing new areas of expertise.

We thought that new tech would create a world of leisure, but, on the contrary, we created a world where we work on stupid concepts. Our work world is so meaningless that people invent new and stupid concepts trying to find some meaning, and then people in need of income, become experts on these concepts, in order to sell meaningless books on meaningless subjects for people having meaningless jobs.

Yes it is a real thing, one of the two ladies smoking near me said to the other that her daughter's work husband is leaving the company. I was like WTF did I just hear and I asked her what is work husband, she explained the concept and made it very clear that nothing is going on.
I'm probably wrong, but can you not type "ps" into CMD and get the PowerShell prompt? If so, can you do it the other way around as well?
No, I have to disagree. Personally, I have a wide gamut of relationships at work. I'm lucky enough to work with my wife and many of my college friends, and I have several "work friends" and a work spouse. They're all quite different. I'd never describe my work spouse as a "friend."
I just ignored that part and skipped to the astronomical allegory where he makes connections between some verses and each constellations.
Although I thought the same when I saw it, I think that's unfair. You could just as easily say Symantec/Norton/Microsoft Defender/Windows/Google is CIA/NSA. Since everything's being watched, Kaspersky might be just as much FSB as it is NSA, or any other country that could get its mitts on it. Cisco was definitely completely NSA there for a while, because of the backdoor. China's got Lenovo and every smart appliance, phone, and TV made in China, CIA/NSA have Dell, Korea and Japan have all of their smart TVs, phones, appliances, etc.

I'm being a little sarcastic, as obviously, they aren't watching everyone all of the time, really, and most devices' backdoors, for those that have them, are unused. I'm fine with all of it, for the most part. Yeah, I'm not perfect, and I don't want all my info made public or sold, but we give up much, much more just by everything being online. Our banks, investments, to some extent our medical history, geneology, likes/dislikes, actions, schedule... it's all there. Each of us could be simulated with all of the info they have at this point, but they can't fully- yet. Now they just have to keep and mine all the data- which they do, but it's selective; it'll be a lot less selective about what is analyzed as time goes on. Then one or more AI's will decide what will happen to all that information, and us, if we don't all kill our planet or each other before then.

Best thing to do? Use the hell out of Kaspersky OS. Use Red Flag Linux. Just take all of your banking info and give it to the Nigerian whose been asking for it. If we all just gave up on security, what would humanity do with all of that trust? Ok, maybe not such a good idea... maybe paranoia can help you be a little more secure, for now. However, if it's open source and you build it yourself- then at least you could look at it, if you wanted, and had time.
The problem is that it reduces the cost for an attacker; why do you think monetary base has anything to do with it?

I also keep my work and personal life separate and can't be happier about it. I don't give my personal phone number, online names or even email to anyone just because we work together. It's not 100% rule, if I find mutual interest with a certain person I work with I might want to keep a contact outside of working hours, but these are exceptions, not the rule.
I've been asked for my online identity few times during job interviews, but a polite response of "Sorry, I don't use my personal Facebook, Google+, Twitter etc. for business matters" did the trick and I was offered these positions anyway.

> I've actually told people before that I think the reason racing helps so much is that you are absolutely 100% focused on the task at hand when you're being the wheel, which means no work or personal stress at all for the time you're on the track.

That 100% focus is probably it then, you're basically relieved from stress for the duration because you don't have time to think about it like when you're "idle".

And the risk of crashing because of wandering thoughts is a pretty good motivator to be focused 100% :)

> And working out gives me a sense of accomplishment completely divorced from my career, which I can carry with me all day in the way I feel physically.

That feeling!

While actually doing it you might, or might not, actually enjoy it, but that whole feeling in your body after you're done... it truly feels like a really rewarding accomplishment.

It works, but I find that fades pretty quickly, you need to do it really often to persist it.

This is what I wanted to say as well. To shift to verbal programming, we'll also have to change to a language designed with that in mind.

Interesting convergence would be VR mixed with TTS processing. So, you use VR and presence/hand tracking to physically interact and words to refine and/or program the visual blocks.

You do know that the ad won't necessarily be relevant to you, right? The ads will be "relevant" according to the advertisers who think you're the kind of target they want to trick into buying their product.

Regarding that "minor event": it is minor in isolation, but the point is that you are generating a large amount of those events that are being aggregated into databases where they are unlikely to be deleted. The ad(s) you might get isn't important. What you should be concerned about is the detailed pattern-of-life analysis that can be done at any time in the future by anybody that buys a copy of that database.
Digital Death: It's unbelievable to see how far Google can go
Maybe it is just me, but the author seems to be making things unnecessarily difficult, or even contradictory, in his definitions. Early on, we see 'the pointer is not the variable! The pointer to foo is the contents of foo_ptr.' Then we see 'The pointer has a type, too, by the way. Its type is int.' As it has been established that the content of foo_ptr is the address of foo, l do not see any way for these two statements to be consistent.

Later, when he writes 'how do we assign an int to this pointer?', he seems to be discussing assigning an int to 'the contents of foo_ptr', given his earlier definition. I know what he means, of course, but this seems to perpetuate confusion between pointers and the thing pointed to. In my experience, common (if not standard) usage is that pointers are variables whose values are addresses, and one uses 'address' when talking about addresses and 'pointer' when referring to a variable containing an address, and it is all pretty clear.
