I've been percolating on this for a day or so now... because your responses on threads are generally abrasive, but i feel like most people actually feel this way and you just convey it abrasively. I think you should reframe anything from "wasting" to "learning from". You can have a lot to take away from even a bad situation, like:

a. Learning how to detect BS in interviews. Interviews are two-way streets.

b. Sit down and figure out what you really do want and how you ended up in this situation so it doesn't happen again.

c. 6 months over a career is nothing, and again, it wasn't wasted, its just the way you're looking at it.

d. Have you networked at all in these six months? If so, not wasted. If not, well that can only be on you not the company, right?

e. If you think non-profits are shitty, maybe a) they're not for you; b) you don't understand non-profits; and/or c) what were you doing there in the first place.

f. "screwing" a company is the same thing as looking out for your own needs (or in this case, the contractor's). There's good and bad contractors, of course.

Your observations may not necessarily be wrong, but to say it was a waste of time is short-sighted.

Well, there's the stigma of talking about anything related to mental illness or depression. Personally, I've never shared any of my struggles with inner demons with anyone other than my wife (and now here).
And their collective knowledge of how many concurrent connections to open with each provider, how many emails to send in a single SMTP session, how fast to send, etc. There's a fair amount that experience lends to staying out of the spam box.

I hope somebody finds this useful:
I setup a 1 second "silent" mp3 as the notification sound for emails, messages, etc.
If the phone actually rings, I pick it up.
Yet the email notifications (got seven email accounts on the phone), the text messages, Telegram, Whatsapp... they are just silent now.

Hope this helps someone!

> My main challenge is in finding a language I can enjoy working with that doesn't require a consistently clear brain to work with: I frequently have a foggy head due to various health issues (which are expensive to fix - and, hilariously, are also why I don't have a job).

There aren't many. I say this as someone whose head also gets screwed over by health.

Really, probably the language you are most familiar will fill the niche, because of muscle memory and the like.

However, the languages I find easiest on my bad days (not the worst, because programming is impossible on those):

* Python, because I know it really well

* Scheme, because it can't get much simpler. You can learn 90% of syntax, macros, types and functions in a (good) day or two. Edit: Look for Chicken for fast compilation, and Racket for many libraries. (Racket is Scheme+more, so not really scheme.)

* Forth, basically the same reasons as Scheme.

* Awk. It's a lispy C. The docs are fairly decent, and though its way of handling stuff can be a bit unusual (BEGIN, END, and in between that, something that runs on every line of input), its pretty effective as a programming language, and hasn't changed for a long time, making all tutorials and docs up to scratch.

Of all of those, Scheme is the simplest when my brain refuses to count to 5. (Seriously, it gets stuck at random points if I try on a bad day).
I don't believe this is entirely correct. DSLR sensors get very hot during long exposures - to the point where excessively long exposures can introduce noise into the output from this heat. I don't see why this wouldn't apply even more so to phone sensors, with their incredibly high photosite density.

However really long exposures are going to suffer from star trail effects - the earth is rotating relative to the stars, so a long exposure changes stars from a point to a short line, which _usually_ isn't what you want. On a 35mm camera with a fairly wide lens you can get away with ~ 30s of exposure time.

On a pixel phone I think you'd be able to get away with ~ 3s exposure time, but as it's going to get pretty hot over this time I'm not sure how much extra image quality you'd actually end up with.
Do you have a system to prevent trusted users from being given low-reputation ip addresses without them having to pay for a dedicated ip?

Sincere question: why do people use apps like Hackpad and Paper? I mean, obviously "to take notes", or "to collaborate", but in what contexts? In what use case do they add lots of value?
How do you "flip unto the curb by accident" if you are driving within the limits of the car and driver? Cars don't randomly spin out of control - when they do spin, it's almost always because the driver wasn't paying attention or was driving too fast for conditions.

Yes, sometimes, some other vehicle will swerve and force you off the road. That seems to be the exception, not the common case.

Very rarely, a mechanical fault will cause an accident. But, even those are generally do to lack of maintenance. Personal example - I was almost hit by a detached car wheel/tire a few months ago while riding my bicycle on a bike trail. The car was an old beater. No muffler, rusty, etc.
> And 100mph is a joke for somebody with racing experience.

Racing is dangerous and the people who do it know that they're taking a risk. It's not appropriate to take that risk when driving on a road.
I just don't put work email on my personal devices. If I'm not at the office, I'm not working. Done. Otherwise you can pay me to be on-call, and that's a whole other discussion.
I understand where you're coming from, but there is a mindset for some people that note taking isn't all that necessary. It often goes along with the mindset of "enjoy today without worrying about trying to capture it for tomorrow." An example would be those who scoff at trying to capture everything on film and forgetting to enjoy the experience.

The opposing mindset is also valid, of course. Different strokes.

As an aside, there are also so many ways that archiving is automated these days that many things we used to have to manually take note of are automatically and indefinitely searchable.
I'm not entirely sure what this is about. Are you saying the list of backends is dynamic and retrieved from DNS? Why would you do this? Why are the backends changing so frequently? This seems like a major design issue. Why not have one backend that's anycasted with equal priority and you can pop backends in and out as you please?

Also, why wouldn't you just solve this with SRV records? Just patch Varnish to support SRV properly and magic you get everything you ever wanted including failover and priorities. That's probably a more sane request.
The term to search for is "RBL" (real time blacklist). Search for "check rbl" to find interactive sites, or maybe "check rbl github" for code that you can use yourself (though you may have to sign up for several services if you go that route).

Neither, though, helps with checking if one of the big providers, like Google, would not like your IP. For those, you have to send an email and watch/parse the SMTP error responses.

I do believe in increasing personal responsibility of people and having less of a nanny state, so I do tend towards that answer, but it's really not that black and white. On highways and places where pedestrians and bicyclists are not allowed - yes, no speed limit makes a lot of sense (and is available in Germany for example)

In cities and suburbs where kids can run into the street in unexpected places - more thought is needed what is the best solution.

I've actually gotten a speeding ticket because I was going 35km/h in a "construction" zone with a temporary 30km/h limit on a freaking Sunday with nobody around. That is also clearly ridiculous.
The two main things I haven't found viable alternatives for under linux are ITerm2, and reliable+configurable touchpad gestures (with features comparable to bettertouchtool + controllermate).

I was going to note that FinalTerm inspired some of those features but was now dead, but going by [1] it appears it may be resurrected.

Weak evidence can more easily lead you on the wrong path. To be fair, the article acknowledges this, and addresses "potential upside", "cost of trying", and so on.

Nevertheless, my subjective feeling is still that potentially strong arguments are being watered down by weaker arguments. I believe I would have responded better had these been split into separate articles.

> but it is mighty effective in exapropriating the rich.

It is much more effective in moving wealth from one elite to a new elite. The problem with Leninism is that it basically sets up a "us vs them" system where those best at exploiting that mentality ends up on top. Hence people like Stalin.

It was not lack of supporting technology that made the Soviet Union fail, but that they started with a coup d'etat against a liberal socialist government that actually had a support base, and from then on whether or not a theory was pleasing to the party elite mattered more than whether or not something was productive or scientifically valid. See for example Lysenko.

You can not achieve productivity in a system that is geared towards punishing you if your ideas displease a leadership that is there largely because they are the ones most willing to grab power and with least compunction to use it.

The point of the law is to discourage behaviour that we have agreed as a society should be discouraged.

In some cases, the person who might have an adverse impact of a decision is someone other than the person taking it. And sometimes the impact of that decision may be irreversible.

In those kinds of circumstances, we, as a society have to ask whether the externalised risks (i.e. the risk that person A imposes on person B, against their will or knowledge) outweigh the curtailing of rights (i.e. the right to do whatever I like) that a restriction would impose.

While I don't think that laws are the only way to prevent someone from doing something bad, I will leave you with a potential downside to what you're suggesting:

Lets say someone is rich/powerful, would the rules apply the same to them in your scenario? Should they?

> But if you tell me that vaccines cause autism

I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but have you researched this? My assumption is "no they don't" but it's actually an area I know very little about.

Looking at the whole discussion currently happening around glyphosate / Roundup, where extensive lobbying has been done by Monsanto to block out any negative reports from the public domain, I (personally) think a lot of things shouldn't just be disregarded as absolute nonsense (even if they, eventually are). Pharma companies are also not above extensive lobbying (look at Mylan and their EpiPen).

Autism rates have gone up during the last 20+ years. Why is this? It would be interesting to at least be able to figure out why, so you are able to rule out other things.
Maxwell, you have a spelling mistake on the Success page.

"Lock found in 20 attemps. You must hate this game by now."
Berthold Brecht once said:"The opposite of good is not evil, it's good intention". Unfortunately, this article is filled to the brim with good intentions.

If I could talk to my 20 year old self I would recommend this: Stay away from the Internet as much as possible and don't look for general advice.

Most information is of little use no matter whether it's right, wrong, deep, entertaining, scientific, religious, whatever... Many may realize that but they continue to consume. The common trap is that most of us think there is no downside to consuming information and this, in my humble opinion is a huge mistake! It seems to me that the more stuff we shovel into our heads, the less able we are to get active.
There is constantly such a long queue of inputs our brain wants to process that we have little energy left to actually develop intentions. When intention crystallize, motivation follows and so does action. I'd argue that people of average intelligence are not lacking success because they miss precious advice. It's because they don't actually have intentions! They can't allow themselves (mainly for financial oder societal reason, I assume) to relax and wait for curiosity to kick in. Instead they have it backwards: They hear about people who are having a career, they hear about others forming families, they hear the news telling them how the IOT is the future, they read up on cool stuff on wikipedia, read the biographies of celebreties, random stuff on reddit, they read career advice .... And then, from all that garbage, they try to deduce what to do. In most cases, that doesn't truly work because the result is not in line with their natural appetites and abilities.
I almost always assume on forums, discussion threads, and social media, that no one has made an honest attempt to understand the thing that they are disparaging.

Interesting. Maybe we should compare notes sometimes. I have a bit of a story with finding alternative-type stuff.

- I've been contemplating tackling Python, in spite of the 2.x/3.x thing. There's the perfect vacuum where versioning shouldn't be a problem, and the practical real world where knowing Python and the differences between the two will let me actually do interesting things.

- Thanks for the tidbit about Scheme - and about Chicken vs Racket!

- ColorForth is particularly interesting, and I found BigFORTH a little while back (which needed to be compiled with -O0 in order to not segfault, yay). Of course "make my own Forth " is in there somewhere :P

- I completely forgot to mention Awk (!) mostly because I have no idea at what point I began to pick it up, but I did get a basic idea of how it works a while ago, and I've been factoring it into shell pipelines more frequently lately. It's great for when I need to do something that sed can't express well (and I just properly read about how match() a) returns the index and b) also works apropos to grep recently, which is great)

(As an aside, Lua is ~200K and awk is ~632K. That is just wrong. [Mumbling about rewrite])

I'm reasonably familiar with the "not wanting to count to 5" thing... heh. Interesting about the Scheme thing in that context. I'll definitely have to give it a look.
I mean, a roundabout is a system for efficient "giving way". 20mph is only "more sane" when a roundabout is in a low speed limit area. We've got plenty of them on 60mph zones - you've got no interest in having cars slow down and accelerate again when not necessary (if nothing else because it's a waste of energy as well as time).
Or maybe it says that multiplatform game engines have become popular.
