Why are you saying a trackpad is better for a large area? Don't you end up having to lift your finger, go back to the other end of the pad and drag it across again, instead of just applying constant pressure on the TrackPoint?

You really need to seek out a therapist. I don't know the expense of that in Germany but it can be life-changing.

It sounds to me that you might be depressed. The thing about depression is that it's possible to manage -- but you have to reach out. You've posted this, and that's a good first step, but now you need to tell a professional.

Personally there were many times when life was quite bleak and it all felt like a dead-end. I think that with a little help, you can move past this point, and later you will look back at it and be glad you did.
I stopped reading when he said that the clocks would tip over at 2^32 seconds after 1970 (136 years), but it is really 2^31 since it uses a signed 32-bit int (68 years).
You are almost 30 years old, will soon have a masters degree from a university in a first world nation, have worked several jobs on apart-time basis and do not have a wife whom you do not love, or kids you can not support to tie you down. You owe a miserly Euro20k in debt which you can quite easily pay off ( for instance by not buying a car in the next 1.5 yrs).

You are young full of promise, healthy and educated. You are determined and hard working and only going through a temporary (and normal)period of self doubt.

I'd say you are not in a bad place.

Edit

1. You should see a therapist to check you out for depression as someone as pointed out.

2. Keep on applying for jobs. 4 rejections is nothing.

3. Be thankful you live in this era, the greatest time to be alive .

My 2013 MBP is great, I can see it lasting a few more years even. It was that forward looking.

A 2016 MBP... I can't see it holding up. The cap on RAM I'm already butting up against it...

Photoshop, VMs, site crawls, loading large spreadsheets and trying to crunch the numbers... 16 GB taxes my current system.

I've sort of just given up, I have a gaming desktop I built myself a year or so back with 64 GB of RAM. I just use that when I want to do "work" now... everything loads faster. Freakin' hate that I can't just buy a new MBP for that stuff, but... it's not top of the line, isn't built to last like previous generations were.

I'll keep my 2013 MBP until it gives out on me I guess... running out of Apple Care on it and the battery cycles are high... also not wild about trusting work to a 3-year-old SSD... but cross my fingers I guess.

My sister still uses my old MBP from 2008 or so -- it holds up for most of her needs after a replacement battery and SSD, it's still a solid computer. I don't see these new MBPs holding up like that at all.

Not going to say the new MBPs are shit, but they aren't built to be light-years ahead like they once were. That's what I think everyone is upset about.
This is going to make spammers so happy.
Actually I think it will be cheaper than today's system. Also it will be paid for by everybody and since all school are equally good it is much easier to get good teachers.

A good teacher is needed to integrate academically weak pupils as well as academically strong pupils.

reading and writing is important, very important but so is math, biology, physics, geography, history, and more.

> x86 is the worst ISA.

x86 is clearly not a beautiful ISA, but it is not as black as it is painted. The first thing that one should understand is large parts of the encoding of the instructions make a lot more sense once one writes them down in octal instead of hexadecimal (something even the Intel people who wrote the reference manual seem to have missed):

Yes, education is more than learning to read and write. But if there's nobody around to teach you how to read and write, then education is only about learning to read and write.

How much agency does people who don't have a school at all have?

If you're out there with your wholesome non-profit locally run good education school, competing with a foreign run for-profit school, I'm all with you, hand down, no competition. But you're not, so I'm cheering for the guys actually (if imperfectly) changing facts on the ground.

But spaghetti sauce can be switched for your next meal if it taste bad. A school not so much, if attended a bad school for a while you might not be able to catch up on a good school, or you have to start over again, or they don't even let you into the better school.

I remember the case of private school in Germany, which failed to prepare their pupils for the final exam of the state and all students failed. After that it turned out their curriculum was wrong. The pupils paid the price for the failure of the school. The school closed and the pupils had to repeat the year.

There is no such thing as time, or time travel. There are only positions of particles. To go back in time by 1 minute, all particles in the universe have to be moved/changed back to their previous position. This is not time travel, but universe manipulation except for one subject. If there were parallel universes with every possible outcome and you traveled to one, this would also not be time travel, but a moving to a place that looks like another place where particles were at a certain position. Time is just a way to label snapshots of particle positions in the universe.

Well, what isn't? I have a knack for languages but that beautiful beast seems like an almost impenetrable fortress of strangeness.

On the other hand, that encourages me to learn to read basic assembly.
In my day I wrote a fair amount of x86 assembly language. I found it fairly easy and straight forward. There are probably even less reasons to learn it these days but nothing gives you a better idea of how a computer works (arguably, besides microcode, but that is a different kettle of fish).

Ask HN: My employer hacked/accessed by email and recalled email. What do I do?
I work in an academic establishment in the UK and recently, I have started to have some issues with my manager. To cut the story short, In an exchange of emails, I had pointed out how incompetent he has been and I had copied 3 of my team members in this email, (while I was away from my work place - accessed from my iPhone.) Workplace uses office 365 email service. Now, my manager or 'someone' at work, has got into my email box and 'recalled' this email I had sent. Obviously, it didn't work. As a result, all my access has been blocked (I presume my password got reset? I am not sure) and now, I am not able to get into my emails or the office 365 service. Currently, I am away from work, and will return on Thursday. I have a few questions to this end:
(1) how can I conclusively prove that my manager or someone at work has gone into my email and recalled my email?
(2) how did I approach this problem?

It is pretty depressing for me that an educational establishment has done such a nasty thing.
I keep hearing about "linear algebra" and although I'm a third year engineering student and am finished with all of my dedicated math courses, I've never taken a course with that title. Looking at this guys videos, it seems like it's just "matrices and vectors" which I've done over the years during high school and in my Calculus courses.

It that all it is, or am I misunderstanding. Everybody seems to think that this field of math is very important, I feel like I should know it by now.

The point of colonizing other planets isn't the opening up of now-uninhabitable areas. It's creating a human society in a place that won't be affected if/when some catastrophic event alters the environment on Earth.

Sure, preferable to preserve Earth's environment, but there's nothing that says we can't do both, and the work that's going into interplanetary transport isn't appreciably detracting from environmental efforts here.

I think you are unlikely to find what you want, because the idea of the "Overton window" is not especially controversial, in the sense that it's basically a shorthand for a number of not-especially-new-or-different concepts that have been around, and are widely understood to exist, for a while. It's not really a new concept as much as it's just shorthand for "the range of acceptable opinions that reasonable people can have" on a particular issue. In fact, you could probably find/change every instance of "Overton window" to that phrase, and not lose very much, but you'd gain a bunch of extra syllables in the process. Humans love data compression.

> I hoped Google makes things better, instead all I see is just defensive rhetorics about open web.

My personal opinion is that publishers have a choice: step up and build these types of distribution channels for themselves - to deliver the content in a format they prefer - or else the distribution channels will be built by others and the format of the content will be dictated to publishers by others.

The real danger for everyone is moving away from standard formats that can be rendered easily in a web browser towards something completely proprietary. For my money, AMP is better than Instant Articles in that regard.

> I don't care much about how open or free software is. User experience matters.

I agree that UX is important (if not most important), but I challenge you to consider the long term implications of investing in proprietary solutions just because they make hard problems appear to have been "solved" easily. Free and open source software has compounding benefits over time that proprietary software often fails to provide. Even Apple - a company (in)famous for its proprietary technical solutions - laid most of the foundation for its renaissance with free and open source software, and continues to benefit from (and contribute to) free and open source software development today.

> And I see that Facebook cares about it much more than Google.

Make no mistake: big tech companies care most about money. There is a trap that you can fall into, especially as a technical person, where you believe that a company cares about your success in particular. No company really does. They mostly just care about money. Plan accordingly.

I use my Sansaire once or twice a week. There is no other way to make pork chops.

The nice thing about the Sansaire is that it supports temperature setpoints lower than most other (all other?) units. I use it for long proofs of no knead bread at 21C for around 18h. The dough sits in a one gallon bucket covered with plastic that I set into the water bath in a cool room in my basement. Perfectly proofed dough. Every. Single. Time.
You can treat it with some antibiotics, but this is not needed normally because the immune system of a normal adult can deal with it. It needs to be treated in two special cases: HIV positive people and pregnant women suffering a primary infection during pregnancy.

Pregnant women have to be tested for toxoplasm. If they have developped antibodies they had the infection in the past and unless the mother have other health issues or immune system problems, all should be ok (follow the advice of your doctor). If not and still negative, she should take some safety measures and carefully check for low-grade fever and other symptoms of acute infection during pregnancy; the infection can be and must be treated; as soon as possible. For the pregnancy period and until the first year of life of the baby.

It is estimated among 500 and 5000 cases of newborns having congenital Toxoplasmosis in USA each year (Boyer et al. 2005, American journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 192). The prognosis is good if treated early.

Not deemed safe by whom? The ENSI deemed them safe.

> In 2011, in response to Fukushima, ENSI called for a rapid review of seismic safety at all nuclear power plants in Switzerland. The results were to be submitted within a year and concentrated on the most important aspects. They showed that all Swiss nuclear power plants are sufficiently protected against earthquakes and flooding potentially caused by a breach in a dam following a seismic event. Further investigations also revealed that all nuclear power plants in Switzerland have a safety margin.

> E.g. xchg ax,ax which does nothing in one byte.

Luckily in x86-16

xchg ax,ax

simply is encoded as 0x90, which is the same as nop (the same holds for

xchg eax, eax

in x86-32).

> But what about xchg bx,bx, xchg cx,cx and so on?

This (cleverly?) cannot be encoded in one byte. Here you have to use at least two bytes (0x87 followed by the ModR/M byte in x86-16; the same holds for their 32 bit counterparts xchg ebx, ebx; xchg ecx, ecx etc. in x86-32):

The engineers of the Transmeta Crusoe/Efficion processor tried something similar:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transmeta_Crusoe&...

"Crusoe was notable for its method of achieving x86 compatibility. Instead of the instruction set architecture being implemented in hardware, or translated by specialized hardware, the Crusoe runs a software abstraction layer, or a virtual machine, known as the Code Morphing Software (CMS). The CMS translates machine code instructions received from programs into native instructions for the microprocessor. In this way, the Crusoe can emulate other instruction set architectures (ISAs).

This is used to allow the microprocessors to emulate the Intel x86 instruction set. In theory, it is possible for the CMS to be modified to emulate other ISAs."
Yeah, they don't need hydrocarbon fuel, they're starting with energy from somewhere else anyway to initially make the oxygen. Just continue to use that energy source(possibly storing energy with hydrocarbons).

The 12mph collision would still be done in a space suit. Hopefully the space suit has a solid combination of rigidity and cushioning to protect against that level of fall. Sinking in to a memory foam and not being able to twist limbs or necks in to bad positions sounds good.
