I would look first in rest and recovery. Go on a sunny relaxing beach sornwhere. Cuba is a good destination since its cheap, different and has poor Internet connection. Rest for at lest 10 days.

Additionally also look in good sleep (a good 6/7 hours per day) and adequate exercise. Sometimes people do too much exercise or not enough, as well as good nutrition. If you are not sure what kind of nutrition you should follow, Mediterranean diet is a good bet.

Lack of social support is a third direction. You should have close friends and family. Invite them often at home for dinner, cook, what about an afternoon of board games. Whatever people say, humans thrive on social contact. A beer with a good friend is also good. Don't just overdo the alcohol.

The final step is the work. Like social support, lack of motivation can be found in lack of communication. Talk around and discuss what you are doing and why. Invite smart people in your professional contacts for coffee. Tell them about what you are doing, ask what are their problems and what interesting things they are doing. Do this 2 or three times per week. Soon you will see opportunities or motivation

Good luck !
From the point of view of how electoral votes are decided (excluding faithless electors), it is determined by plurality, not majority. A state's electoral votes go to the candidate who receives the most votes (a plurality), not the one who receives more than half (a majority).
Utterly embarrassing, but not unexpected. News in the US exists in a different reality compared to other countries. If the BBC did this it would be such an utter shock it would probably make the newspapers. But in the US? Business as usual.
I think we'd have a lot less debate over the electoral college if we hadn't capped the size of the House of Representatives in the 1900s.
Treason charges against Russian cyber experts linked to 7-year-old accusations
I would think the biggest problem is convincing them that you're reliable enough to show up at work on time every day, respond to questions and problems professionally, etc.

Technical skills can be learned and demonstrated, but being 19 years old carries some doubts along with it. Maybe you would need to prove yourself by putting in some time at the IT help desk just to show that you are mature enough to handle responsibility.
Anecdatum: I work with a guy who is pretty scary brilliant when it comes to programming; He programs on windows and his software is of a really good quality- I asked him why he used Windows and he gave two reasons:

1) Windows is mandated by HQ as the only supported desktop. You're not getting anything else to run on your desktop so you either write Windows software locally or use a VM (which is cumbersome0

2) Epoll is trash.

I have successfully convinced him to make some software on freebsd because kqueue is fundamentally better. But it's shocking that epoll is so bad even compared to windows :(
What is the Target state you want to see(not how, what?)?
Thus my qualification "well known". I was aware of monotone and Darcs ... but never used them, or knew anyone who did, or anyone who seriously considered it. I have no idea if Darcs is "cryptographically secure". But both of these were experimental and extremely slow at the time git was designed.
Motivation is something I believe everyone struggles with from time to time. Some people don't even realize they lose it till it is to late. Others have so much to do they don't have time to be motivated.

Leadership position at companies are either earn through hard work at the company or proven track record at other companies. If you want leader position work your ass off for it. If everyone is dumb and not working on anything useful then it should be easy to move up the ladder.

Unless the job pulls you out of poverty, puts you in poverty, gets you out of a toxic environment, or takes you completely out of your comfort zone then it ain't going to be a life changing job. Doesn't sound like you went to Africa to save orphans.

Creating artificial challenges is to make you grow not really to motivate you. If you think just chasing a challenge will make you happy or motivated try it out. But maybe you need to find something that just makes you happy or excited. One guy I knew was making north of $200k a year working at the bank worked nights at a sushi restaurant. Sushi was his passion his motivation his happiness.

Typically you don't get a job with purpose, big money, and satisfaction right away. You get a job to pay the bills and learn. The next job is either to move up, move out, or you found something you passion about.

Right now sounds like you are finical stable, and if you got time to work out 4 times a week then you should have time to try new things. Try to find a hobby or something. Get as far out of your comfort zone as you can, and see what you like and love. Don't seek motivation let it find you.

Best of luck.
The Schiehallion experiment: How to weigh the earth by surveying a mountain
Carmack has programmed professionally at least since 1990, he was 19 then, 20 when he founded id Software. Genius or not, he obviously has a lot of programming experience, and familiarity with a subject counts for a lot. He has worked really hard, written millions of LoC. Obviously his "genius" lies not in learning a programming language and syntax, anyone can do that. But he evidently has a knack for developing new techniques (e.g. in graphics). He has a good understanding of especially light physics and hence physical based rendering. Considering his ventures with Armadillo Aerospace it's probably safe to say he's got a good understanding of physics in general. How many game developers went from games to aerospace?

Elon Musk practically offered Carmack a job at SpaceX, tweeting "Well, if you love rockets, come work on them with me at SpaceX!"

Carmack is a very enthusiastic person, who is hard working, and genuinely passionate about everything he pursues. I have "followed" him for a good while. It's not difficult to tell he's a lot smarter than your average Joe, but he also seems quite a bit sharper than your average smart programmer. I recommend watching all his talks and interviews.

Some amusing and revealing stuff on his childhood:

"In the gaming industry, there are a lot of people that are specifically in it because they love games and they want to create things. My love for programming is a more abstract thing. I'm taking a great deal of enjoyment writing device drivers for Linux. I could also be having a good time writing a database manager or something because there are always interesting problems. There are some things that are inherently more rewarding than others. Graphics and games are probably the most generally rewarding area of programming."

On software engineering:

Another smart and nice guy in the business is Tim Sweeney. About the same age as Carmack, and also founded Epic the same year id Software was founded, at 21. Sweeney got his first taste of programming at 11.

"It was astonishing seeing the IBM PC. It was such a crisp machine. I'd seen a Commodore PET computer before, and it was a crappy device that never really did what you wanted, I couldn't figure it out and nobody was there to show me how to use it. I sat down at this IBM and every key you pressed made this bright, quick sound. [It had] this nice clear screen, this very powerful basic programming language. It just took me a couple of days to figure out how to use that. It was totally love at first sight. From that point on, I tried to dedicate all of the time I had free to learning to do more with computers."

He seems to share a similar passion to that of Carmack's.
Maybe I'm paranoid thinking back to my flying my instructor was strict about weight and balance not that I carried anything as a student. But always being aware of it is a big part of flying or at least when learning to fly.

My instructor even made me secure my pen when I was flying nothing loose in the cabin.
We are more inundated with clickbaity trash journalism than ever before, but we also have more access to serious in-depth investigative journalism than ever before. So if you really want to figure out what's going on in the world, you now can. Corrections and retractions and debunkings only reach a fraction of their original audience, as you say, but this has always been the case. When was the last time the NYT ran a front page mea culpa, for example?

I second this advice.

Something else to add... I realized everything in life is simply a choice. I can choose to move along the path to getting whatever it might be that I want (no matter how painful or difficult it may or may not be), or I choose to do something else. Its when I dig deep and choose to follow my path, even when I don't want to, is when I realize that I can move the needle on my life. I guess what I'm saying is, consider that you might fear the commitment it would take to make the change. Confronting that feeling and making the change in spite of the fear might help you get where you want to be. YMMV.

>Unfortunately, Mr. Trump's vision (in Mr. Trump's own words) is a dark one: "American carnage".

"American carnage" is what Mr. Trump said he would stop. Not some kind of vision he has for the future. Personally I don't see the "American carnage" (if anything, it's the opposite), except if he means that us corporate interests (of which he is part, anyway) stomp on the American middle/working classes.

People outside of the US have even less the luxury of an "objective retrospective comparison". And a direct to-the-moment comparison is that the previous administration(s) were so much into wars, invading, meddling etc, and created so many open sores and hell-holes where they invaded or intervened or supported "national interests", that it will take a lot of work for Mr. Trump to be as dangerous to the world at large. If anything, he has shown to be quite isolationist, which would be a welcome change.

(Of course I understand that the lives of non-US citizens don't seem to be as much a concern to the US pundits, compared to say, whether something like "Obamacare" is repealed or whether someone with redneck-y ideals is in power. But it does matter to the people elsewhere who lose those lives).

One example is in NGINX. They mostly follow a "no threads" pattern, but specifically for Linux, they support "some threads" to get around issues with Linux aio.

https://www.nginx.com/blog/thread-pools-boost-performance-9x...

That's not "shared nothing" threads, of course, so it doesn't answer your question at a high level. It does highlight, though, that Linux is especially challenging in this space as compared to FreeBSD. And not just because of epoll().

I don't see why paying for the power would suddenly become an issue. If California can afford it now, they'll be able to afford it later, even if it's paid in a different currency--it's still the same amount of wealth.

In the case of the Json module, I totally agree. I'm not really concerned with Performance either. It's mostly API flexibility that I care about. I mean, urllib is always such a great example of an overcomplicated and inflexible API with bad naming conventions. The Json module really did a good job in learning from previous mistakes. `json.loads()` and `json.dumps()` couldn't be any easier to use. Though, I would argue that the json module's ease of use is owed more to the fact that Python dictionaries map pretty much 1-to-1 with JSON already.
If command authority to launch ICBMs devolves to the states where the missiles are stationed, that will be an indicator that civilization is over. The political fate of California would be a footnote.
I don't get why the Right is so keen to vilify Sweden.

I've lived abroad and travelled and feel I have a fair handle on all the countries I've visited and I'm living abroad now.. In Sweden! Nordic countries are by far the best functioning countries I've ever visited and should serve as positive examples.
I saw something about it on Twitter. But it's Fox News, so wasn't really that unexpected.

They have been attempting to manipulate the public on a massive scale for a long time, as long as the manipulation serves the preferred narrative.
It is more a case most cpu intensive demands being addressed by dedicated chips, as we always have had. Many area's of information technology move from general cpu's towards dedicated silicon. Even CPU's adapt and add instructions and with that small area's of silicon space for some dedicated demands (think MMX, AVX, AES,...).

This is no change at all in what we already have. It is when we finally dedicate all tasks down to dedicated silicon that the glue of a CPU processing wise will diminish.

But then CPU's of today are constantly adapting and I'd say the C in CPU is better defined as Centralised rather than Central.

For me, I'm looking forward to a AI grammar and contextual spelling checker that will make all grama nazi's obsolete.

So my perspective upon this for intel is that I foresee no trouble for Intel, who already adapt to change and are not to be dismissed any time soon, just yet.
One thing I don't see mentioned is human relationships.

Let me guess, you're not married and have no kids?

:) People who aren't good socially, oftentimes try to put all their eggs in one basket (I'm gonna be so good at my job, that it'll fix everything else).

Life doesn't work like that. The problem is not purpose/money. It's satisfaction - that's only going to come when you no longer feel like everyone else is dumb :)

They may not be as good at you at work-stuff - I bet they don't go posting on a forum asking for self-help advice though. So who's really winning?

Not you. You have high IQ, low EQ.

The only solution is to fix that EQ.

One more thing - if you get to manage people, you'll be terrible as you are currently. So really, if you work harder and achieve management, you'll realize your EQ sucks, if you don't achieve it and go and try to make some friends, you'll realize your EQ sucks.

Which's another way of saying life will fix your 'loss of motivation' one way or another :)
I wouldn't go as far as declaring the democracy being under the existential threat just yet. The alleged malfunction in the US does not necessarily represent a trend.

Maybe we can learn from governance systems that have survived over a long period of time? Say, Swiss direct referendums. What I also like in their system is that elected officials are rotated frequently. For instance the president is elected for a period of just 1 year.
> Don't want so many people? Mandate reversible sterilization at birth.

No. Forced sterilization is eugenics, and we've seen what happens with that [1]. Eugenics is unconscionable for moral, ethical, legal and humanitarian reasons. When you give government or the private sector or any human being the ability to control other humans' reproduction, that power is ripe for horrific abuse. We know this because that's exactly what happened last time [2].

Not to go full Godwin on you, but eugenics is literally the philosophy behind the Nazis (see [1]).

Overpopulation will be an issue eventually. Better to solve it through more creative means, like becoming a 2+-planet species.

Student loans would be an investment if like other investments, it could be removed from someone's 'portfolio'. IMO the fact that student loans are not dischargable means they are not an investment.

Not sure what we should call student loans, but 'investment' seems like the wrong word.
Republic means "not a monarchy". It is totally orthogonal to whether a country is a democracy or not.

Norway is a democracy and not a republic; Zimbabwe is a republic and a dictatorship; France is a republic and a democracy.

There's a bit at the end of Chuck Yeager's autobiography, where he takes to task the idea of test pilots being men who have "the right stuff" (specifically addressing the book by that title).

"And in the end, the one big reason why I was better than average as a pilot was because I flew more than anybody else. If there is such a thing as 'the right stuff' in piloting, then it is experience."
Glad your reply is top. To be honest we could do with less of these fluff pieces on HN, leave them to Reddit and Facebook.
Pedantry about spelling on a message board will certainly save the republic. Just like literacy tests protected voting rights.

The constitution enshrined the diminishment of blacks' humanity, had to be ammended to extend the franchise to women, and still says that slavery is fine under the right circumstances. It's as much a reflection of our failings as it is our ambitions, and has been wielded violently to uphold or change the status quo. It has no inherent trajectory towards progress other than the one we actively embody.

It's a bit weird that a country safer than the US now gets portrayed as a sodom and gomorra of rape and violence. The striking difference between Swedes and immigrants in terms of violent crimes (four times as much, five times for rape) is declared for a large part by the fact that Swedes on average are nice and peaceful people.

Fox and Trump blowing everything out of proportion shouldn't stop a healthy debate about what the benefits of the current wave of immigration for Sweden and the Swedes really are.

"Republic" and "Democracy" are not mutually exclusive. Many republics are democracies (including the US); many are not. Republic just means not monarchy.
> Revenue is absolute. Money either came in or it didn't.

That's actually quite incorrect. The way you recognize revenue and the timelines over which you recognize them are different.

Two example. One is groupon, another is more universally applicable.

So for Groupon, if you as a customer pay 10 dollars, groupon gets 5 dollars and the merchant gets 5 dollars. Groupon was recognizing 10 dollars as revenue and five dollars as cost, even though it knew it would have to pay out the 5 dollars immediately. It could have just booked 5 dollars as revenue, but chose to book 10 dollars as revenue and 5 dollars as a cost, because it made its revenue growth more impressive. (https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/09/23/groupon-changes-its-...).

Another example is recognizing recurring revenue. If you sign a deal for a maintenance contract for 200 bucks over 2 years, you could recognize 25 dollars every quarter, or 200 bucks in the first quarter and none for the rest.

In summary, revenue is far from absolute and can be played with like profit.
Before the election, some of the people I talked to said that if Trump won, they'd exit the country. When asked where they'd go, it was always Canada or Sweden.

Maybe this has something to do with it?
Related: For fast filesystem search on Windows (NTFS) I cannot recommend enough Everything [0]. Instant search through all drives. This app really shines.

Really, if you haven't seen it, check it out.

It basically connects to the NTFS database, fo that's why it is instant. Still don't understand why OS does not do this.

> Why?

Why what? Why do I fight injustice and sexism? Or why do I think sexism branded as feminism is a such a colossal problem?

The former is pretty obvious, I think few people in the west think sexism is a good idea, personally I subscribe to a pretty mainstream individualist moral stance. I wrote some thoughts about this in some parallel comments:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13737987

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13737437

As for the latter, that's a much longer discussion for which unfortunately I do not have the time to get into sufficient detail. Nor do I think this is an appropriate forum for this discussion considering all the downvotes I am getting (no complaining, just stating a fact). Oxitendwe (in this thread) has briefly touched the crux of the issue, however. Mainly that is an attempt of a power grab over society, one that fundamentally has very little to do with women, and in the end it will cause more harm to women than men. I, and most likely my children and friends are directly affected by this power grab.
