Yep, you ended up like the punching ball of the team. Everybody has frustrations and somehow you ended up being that person who everybody mistreats and vents to. You have to end it.

Usually I would tell you "leave your job" but me being from Eastern Europe and not in the cozy enabling environments of most of Europe... I realize you might not have the choice.

I don't know your situation so what I can recommend is probably misguided. Still, here goes, in case it can help you (and in case it's not obvious):

1. Leave the job if you can. You already are not working and are apparently still collecting some kind of paycheck. I am not sure any amount of medication of psychiatrists will help you overcome the fear of eventually coming back to that hell you have been working in. How do you feel about that prospect?

2. Take a creative break. It seems you already are doing something along these lines by working on things outside your immediate duties. Do they fulfill you? If not, definitely just stop. I lied on my ass for 2 months before actually going back out there and starting to get stuff done. Sometimes you just need it. Also, programming in your spare time isn't always relaxing.

3. Talk to people about your situation -- not only to people who are paid to listen to you though. That's a very broad advice so apply it as you like. ;)

It's OK to be butthurt/salty in this situation. We aren't angels or saints, these things can and do get to us. And you have been wronged, many times.

I faced the same. I actually come across as quite manly and assertive to a lot of people but that's mostly my appearance and my attitude of gettings things done without tarrying on petty differences. I strive to never argue emotionally or engage in yelling competitions with people and they very often mistake that for me being a pushover. What I usually do is: if somebody is becoming an obstacle, I just go to a higher manager and talk to them about it. If they don't care or have the wrong idea then I just reduce my efforts in the said work significantly and just move from paycheck to paycheck. Done that many times and now I am suffering financially for months -- very severely! -- because I want to choose a workplace where things are not like that. It seems the mythical "cultural fit" is not BS after all...

What I take from your gently shared pain is that you are not a conflicting persona. That's okay. You don't have to be. Do your best to find an environment where you don't have to fight daily with people. They do exist.
Problem is, the integra had independent wishbone/multilink suspension, that was much more expensive to produce and maintain than todays McStrut cars. There will not likely be an economy car with amazing suspension in that manner again until electrics are cheap, due to price factors alone. Even BMW moved to struts. Thankfully the new Mx5 are just as good as they were in the 90s fo those who lack cargo... and passengers.
yes was referring to dogpile.com

dogpile was/is a metasearch engine.
Back before google days there was so much unindexed stuff out there each search engine could bring back different results.
Going to this one site and searching would bring back results from all the popular search engines at one time.. querying sites like (altavista, lycos etc.)
YC has funded approximately 1,900 companies. 93 are valued at $100 million or more. 19 are valued at $1 billion or more. Stripped from nuance, one could say that if you get accepted into YC, you have a 5 percent chance of building a $100 million company, and a 1 percent chance of building a $1 billion company. That's impressive.

Afaik, YC is the only seed funder-startup accelerator in the world, among thousands of other ones, that has given birth to companies worth $1 billion ore more.

At least until three years ago, it hasn't passed funding on a single billion dollar company (1).

Also, rumours are that Coinbase is raising money at a valuation of $8 billion (2). This is the same valuation that the company supposedly gave itself when it acquired earn.com in april this year (3).

Get. Shit. Done.

I worked on a social gaming project a long time ago and one guy we had on that project was a flash design to actionscript3 convert, so programming wasn't his strong suit. Someone bought him a book on design patterns and he tried to implement every damn one of them in the same piece of software. It was bullshit of a fantastic level - everytime I hear someone fantasizing about design patterns over writing just simple pragmatic software, I can't help but think about this.
> Since we based the planetary system model on our own solar system, if that model is wrong then that makes our own solar system special.

These two statements are not equivalent; the model may be wrong in its assumption of uncorrelated planet sizes and star type, for example.
And many filesystems, too, NTFS, Ext4, etc.
Based on this, it suggests that cattle, while problematic, are carbon-neutral and have been for a long time. I did bother to google about the number of cattle on Earth, which has bee stable at around one billion since the 1970s. The sharp increases in both global population and global wealth haven't changed that for decades.

So unless I'm missing something (which is very possible), the amount of methane in the atmosphere from cattle is probably static rather than growing, and the amount of carbon consumed by said cattle is also static.
Like Spamhaus?

Elsewhere in the thread, Giri says it uses a VPN connection. Is it TLS + something else?

helm.garrytan.com:3333 for example responds with a self-signed localhost cert, not LE keys. IMAPS (still not sure why that’s there but I asked that in a different comment so let's have that thread there) and 8443 do answer with LE though :)
Travel, commerce, civilization isn't going to stop because of global warming. That's childish hyperbole to suggest one person traveling on a plane or train that's going to be going anyway somehow undermines the goal of getting the whole world to address this issue in a meaningful and serious way.
So to test for unknown bias and sensor anomalies, they put raw modelled data through the statistical machinery looking for homogenized outputs.

This strikes me as wrong. If you want to know if your filter is bad, you plug in ground truth and add known noise models. If you want to know if your noise models are wrong, you cant do the same thing, you need to point your sensor at a known object (e.g. calibrate).

They seemed to have done a cursory analysis of the former type, which is not the same as saying "our pea-pod hyoothesis is correct".
But Google isn't "risking it all" for China. It's merely attempting a business expansion that it's employees cannot seem to rationalize

I used to use one of their weather maps. North Georgia gets a lot of random, unpredictable storms from the gulf. I used one of their maps to see if one of the thousand tiny half mile wide storms would pass over me. If it did, I could be in for a heck of a storm and need to unplug stuff. If not, all that effort would be wasted.

They had a map. It would show you all the little cells that rose to the level of concern along with speed, direction, and predicted location by time. I could match those cells to a violent-looking cloud sliding by in the distance. I could never find that map after the redesign. That was the only reason I went there.

I have to assume all their designers are from places where storm clouds come in big, predictable blobs instead of tiny terrors that miss you 90% of the time.
Thanks for the feedback. I’m on the team building out this library. We have plans to overhaul our documentation soon and we’ll be sure to address this.
Less clothes. Less showers. :)
Thanks for sharing this. This is great! It even has an interactive shell. Unfortunately US only and likely soon to be gone... I normally use wttr.in, but telnet is way more old-school cool :)
They game theory just doesnt work out for this idea. You are basically punishing those who care.

Their recruiters genuinely think this, which is why I decline. They have no interest in finding a good match between you and the company or why you're not interested in one specific detail. They have an opening, and you are privileged to even be contacted about the position.
So does this mean he has diplomatic immunity?

It's kinda sketchy that he was appointed to their Moscow embassy, given all the allegations revolving around Wikileak's influence in the 2016 US election. It would have looked better to appoint him to their embassy in Paraguay or something.
Wait, how does this hardware stacking work? Anyone have photos of the actual product? This all looks rendered.
Hi lvh - it's not a proxy. The EC2 instance can't see your emails. The Helm server initiates and receives TLS connections through the instance so it's really an extra hop on the internet. We don't see or keep data on deliverability of individual Helm servers. We use a dedicated EIP that we ensure are not on blacklists and configure reverse DNS as well.
I look at it from a different perspective.

If the Federal Government would limit loans to a set amount per course credit you can rest assure schools would scramble to have offerings that fit within the guidelines.

there seems to be little issue with forcing health care prices upon those who provide the services so the same should be done for education. simply weight the course and apply costs appropriate. this could be used to encourage certain skill sets over others.

The truth is, it was known the debt crisis was going to explode once the Federal Government got involved. Same happened to education as a whole let alone health care
That's rough that your parents pushed you to go to a different college w/out that free tuition incentive. Budget was a huge factor for me in choosing a college and heavily influenced me to stay in-state and public, where tuition wasn't high and there were plenty of scholarships. If I were to do it again the only thing deterring me from going 2-year first was the group of colleagues I met in my first week of college, in which we're still friends to this day. I imagine it would have been harder to find friends coming in as a Junior.
not an algorithm
I think I see the source of the confusion. The open-tip ammo you carried in Afghanistan (MK 262, or Black Hills 77gr for us civies) is not hollow point. Nobody calls it hollow point; not the Army, not SOCOM, not match shooters, nobody. So yes, I agree OTM is not covered by Hague Art. III.

But I seem to remember you saying that Hague Art. III doesn't cover HP ammo at all, which is incorrect. If you carried HP ammo in Afghanistan, it was allowed (strictly speaking) because Hague doesn't apply to conflict against irregular fighters. The U.S. military openly acknowledges that Hague prohibits HP ammo in regular warfare between signatories, and that information is everywhere you look if you follow any news or debates about military firearms. For example, the big news about the new M17 isn't the gun, but the fact that HP pistol ammo is now standard-issue, and how the Army addresses Hague Art. III in justifying the change [1].

This is already happening with the EU cap-n-trade scheme. Because it was designed to ratchet, it initially had nearly no effect - but in two years quotas will have dropped 21% from the ones set in 2005; by 2030 they will force CO2-equivalent emissions down 43%.

Companies that emit CO2-equivalent emissions now will either need to retool to lower emissions, or they need to buy emissions certificates from other companies that have retooled.

The end result is much simpler than introducing additional labeling of products for consumers to interpret. Instead, the externalities are removed and prices signal the total cost of production, as they should.

How will all these colleges survive without getting all these ill-educated students to come to their campuses?
FreedomBox does that, and FreedomBox is Debian.

It runs on a cheap SBC and you can use a 15$/year VPS as a relay.
Not at all true. Where's your onClick? People want their buttons to actually do things, right?

With Web Components you're back in the land of saving element references, querySelector, addEventListener, and string-only attributes. It sucks. If you want something more like what React provides, where attributes (props) can be objects, functions, other React elements, etc. then you need to use a library (e.g. Polymer) that's just as non-standard as React is.
Clickbait title. From the WSJ article covering the same story:

The announcement has no practical effect on Mr. Zuckerberg and his position as both CEO and chairman because he has a lock on the bulk of Facebook’s supervoting shares, each of which gives him 10 times the votes of average shareholders. According to Facebook’s latest proxy, his share of the voting power among Facebook investors was 59.9%.

damn!!!
The amount of debt isn't a problem for a country's credit rating as long as repayments are made on time, that's the same as for individual borrowing and their credit score. You have to explain why the US would fail to repay its debts before you can claim there's a problem.

China owns just 5.3% of US debt, only slightly more than Japan, which owns 4.8% of it. Most US debt is owned by government programmes such as Social Security.
Many thoughtful liberals are defecting from the Left. Not necessarily to the Right, but just towards sanity.

Yes, we have crackpots on the Right, but apart from POTUS, few of them have power, and few of them are lent credibility by the Right at large.

Do you really think female accusers should always be believed, period? Do you really think that to be a white American is to be a racist? Do you really believe that justice entails equal outcomes rather than equal opportunity?

Haha this is so awesome. I know what feature my impending weather-related app must have now..
Well done on the Godwin.

It may have been a bit subtle but I was implying that if one opposes the Chinese government's method of dealing with Radical Islam then one ought to oppose the US solution in the Global War on Terror which is boots on the ground and bombs from the air – in what?, 15 countries with combat troops and 7 countries with air & drone strikes at the moment. If, however, one supports US intervention in these places then one ought to support the Chinese in their methods. To support one and not the other is jingoism and misplaced patriotism.

The challenge isn't the oil industry, it's regular people. A carbon tax would just make gas more expensive and people don't want that. Keep in mind that in order to be effective we're not talking about "people just pay more," we're talking about "the price is so much higher, people buy a lot less gas."
I wonder how long it would take to scale up production of seaweed/algae if that turns out to be effective.
Google Tweaks Android Manufacturer Terms to Comply with Antitrust Laws
My dad was a professor at a community college at the end of his career, and worked with many students hooked into that world.

Basically, they target vulnerable people who have an earnest desire to approve themselves or access to someone else’s money. They advertise outcomes — “wouldn’t you like to be a respitory therapist making $75k” vs. courses of study and admit people to programs they are unqualified for. Then they pump you dry.

As a middle class person, it’s difficult to appreciate the mysterious nature of things without trustworthy advisors. A close friend came from a blue collar background and didn’t get good counsel. Her parents were thrilled that she got into college, which had been seemingly impossible for them.

She ended up getting a package of loans and scholarships that ran short at the end of her studies. Fortunately, in the 90s these predatory student loans weren’t as common, and she ended up putting $50k on credit cards to pay for her last 3 semesters, and was able to go bankrupt after a few years.
TI graphing calculators boot to BASIC. I don't know about the newer ones but the old ones are extremely simple computers with Z80 or 68k processors and hardly any operating system, fun to program in BASIC or assembly language or C.

Modern kids might find them boring but they are great places to learn how a computer really works without piles of modern software cruft between you and the hardware. That's where I learned.
The undocumented person may have not had insurance which would be one set of problems, or might have thought they would be at fault to some degree - being in an accident with someone injured would have involved police - both circumstances leading to contact with authorities could have led to deportation. It is not common to not have insurance but even in the case of people here legally, those without insurance commonly run from accidents because of the penalties for not having insurance. There is also the case of people with insurance but having a lot of driving penalty points (for speeding/running stop signs or lights) running or attempting to pay cash to avoid involving insurance because they have very expensive insurance due to driving history and do not want to get forced into an even higher insurance bracket.
Sort of. The U.S. signed Article III, but not IV. III is the section that prohibits expanding bullets, and IV limits the prohibition to conflicts between signatories. So it's clear that the U.S. is bound by Hague, but it's also arguably clear that Hague doesn't apply to any conflict that the U.S. has been involved in in the past decade.

Terminal ballistics is the mother of all holy wars. There are undending arguments over caliber, weight, soft point vs. hollow point vs. JHP, etc. Expanding bullets pretty useless against body armor, but so are pistols in general, because AFAIK the U.S. military doesn't issue armor-piercing pistol ammunition. Besides, any sort of infantry engagement will rely on 5.56 rifles, and the standard M855/M855A1 ammo, while not strictly defined as "armor piercing", does contain a steel penetrator and is quite effective against body armor at close-ish ranges.

Nevertheless, the U.S. military very much believes in the usefulness of hollow points in urban/CQ environments, and in fact the Army is now issuing hollow point bullets for the M17 and M18 service pistols. Presumably this ammo would not be used in a conflict against uniformed soldiers from a fellow Hague signatory state.
That's nice to hear, I did one of them :)

Hang on: are you suggesting cloud e-mail services don't use FDE?
The government has been allowing widespread fraud for more than a decade, and you’re blaming people who want to better themselves for being defrauded.

I know a few people who attended a for-profit college. What “fooled” them was that they essentially had little lose: stay in a dead end job or take an expensive risk with a greater than 0 chance for ending up better than they were before.
I worked at a SMALL for-profit college around 2000. I can only speak for my experiences. Us low level folks... teachers, librarians, counselors... we did work our asses off and really cared and tried like hell to teach the people we were given. Most of them would never have even tried to go to a big public or private university. Some of them should never have gone to any college. The sales people that brought in the students had some kind of incentive to get ANY student in. So to answer that question... the sales people (not really their job titles, but essentially they sold the school to kids) fooled them into attending. I assume that hasn't changed.

We were usually given resources to help and were more or less usually supported by those above us. We did the best with what we were given. I kept in touch with some of the students for a while and most of them did ok (not great, mostly just ok) and were at least working in something close to what they wanted. Overall, back then, it was mostly positive. I've since worked at a couple of large public institutions and I can't say it was all that different. People on the front lines were mostly trying to help when they could. Totally different scale though, hard to even compare the two environments.
There's more to university than 1:1 degree to salary analysis. Though there's definitely a failing to effectively double-down on this understanding early on in a student's career.

For example, one aspect of university is that it's a four-year gauntlet that not everyone can finish.

Another aspect is that there's more to life than work. I have a philosophy degree but also taught myself to program. I don't regret my degree, though easy to say when I have lucrative skills. But I have a problem people calling it worthless just because there is no obvious degree-to-job pipeline for philosophy.

The key is that I knew that going in. Well, everyone does know these things going in to some level, but the end can seem so far away that it's hard to really internalize the consequences when you're still putting around university.

The problem is coming out of uni with $60k debt which creates the, then, natural analysis of "so how did university equip you to deal with this burden?" And I think that's what leads us to scenarios where we're lopping off the heads of degrees that don't warrant the debt.
Sooo you want me to pay 100$ per year for hardware i'm running at home already?

Nope.

And i also do not want to have my email gateway at home. I do move, i do like to shutdown hardware, i like to travel and might not be able to access my hardware.

There are good small and secure email providers out there which costs money. I would even prever a managed vps server somewhere.
My point is that it's probably something other than monopsony effects.
”and therefore no need to take an insurance”

I disagree. The “the lucky should share in the costs of the unlucky” aspect of insurance still is there; the difference is that, in a perfect information world with self-serving individuals, the need still is there for the unlucky, but the lucky won’t be willing to take part.
