Fortunately, Google exists so you can learn new things and develop foundational knowledge. Its all about what you do with the knowledge, and has little to do with the fact that you're Googling.

For example, I was Googling how to create a VM hypervisor last night in FreeBSD. I know very little about hypervisors, but I've read many blog posts and now I know what they are, what they do, how to setup failover clusters, etc.

The point is, people don't really sit and read the things they look up. That's the bigger problem.
The first book that changed my life was "The Second Sex" by Simone De Beauvoir. Is not an easy book to read, with many philosophical and historical references, but it really shaped me. It changed my perception of women and also my awareness as a man.
Another thing that changed my life was not a book by a record. It's not the same thing, I know, but I must name it because I was influenced more by its literary part (the lyrics) than by its music. The album is "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" by Genesis.
Yes there are some exceptions, but you're just proving my point: Even the Bahn can't negotiate full alignment across Germany although its only the largest of cities that don't accept the BC100 completely.

Then again, almost all of those cities have an extensive S-Bahn system, so we're really just talking about some subways across Germany where you still have to pay extra.

Case in point is Berlin: What edge case does it have to be for a typical BC100 owner to travel across Germany and have to visit Zone B or C with a subway but not with a S-Bahn?

I'm no expert, let's get that out the way.

But first off, just let go. Don't plan on doing anything; you are sick. I get the impression you're lucky in that you've got only a mild case, I've had colleagues who had it quite badly and who couldn't physically get out of bed anymore - where even the idea of planning would knock them on their arse again.

Don't let it escalate any further. The first step is to accept that not doing anything is OK.

Before Global Warming, Humans Caused Global Cooling, Study Finds
IIRC the UN estimates in the early 2000s said it was going to top out at 11 to 12 billion and plateau there. This article is a much rosier estimate and expects us to top out at 9 billion or so before rapidly declining.

I don't have anything published but it seems like this is something that could have an audience. I do have extensive notes which I've been collecting to put into some sort of coherent form and publish so maybe it's time to do that.
Have you ever been sick and given up all sense of needing to be productive, and actually felt some relief from it? Try to tap into that attitude for a bit. Learn to listen to what you actually want instead of what you think you should be doing. Stoic philosophy is popular around here, and could probably help you out a lot. Consider seeing a qualified CBT therapist who specializes in OCD. Not saying you have OCD, but the same tendencies of obsession and perfection can lead to burn-out.

Can the BGP diagrams be generated with avg latency taken into configuration? It would be interesting to see the tube map's diagram if that was the case.

Also I'm interested as to how the author generated the original TfL map JSON, as it would be nice to expand it to perhaps the TfL's Tube/Rail map.

> Meaning every router/station on the network knows it’s time to get to every station through every route:

I am confused by this - does it mean each station knows the latency to it's neighbour and BGP can figure out the fastest route based on that? Or does it mean we have to pre-calculate the combined time to every other node based on the shortest per-stop route (which seems less cool)?
You are confusing "excluded middle" (¬p⋁p) with "non-contradiction" (¬(p∧¬p)). The former is not valid in e.g. constructive logic, whereas the latter is a basic statement of consistency.

Yes there are exceptions, but I was talking about the average.

The number 2 comes from the current world wide trend. In developed countries the fertility rate tumbles down but stops at around 2. So it is believed this is the average bottom.

One point the post makes is the failure of the restructuring of J.C. Penney. I don't agree that it was a total failure, I just think the board lacked the courage to get through the hard times that had been predicted by Johnson from the beginning. Yes, it scares away the coupon clippers, but re-establishing trust in a brand takes some time. Everyone is tired of the idea of these one-day sales that happen at random times, and they make stores less appealing because it always feels like you're missing out on some deal if you just waited, which usually means that you just go to Amazon instead. The customers you lose (the coupon-clippers and budget shoppers) are the worst possible customers, and in the long run you'll be better off without them.

I caught wind of the changes too late; by the time I got around to visiting one of their stores, they had reverted to the insane random discount model, so I couldn't make any headway because every sticker read like an essay; with some insanely high price "marked down" to a slightly more reasonable price, and my faith that either price was real was practically zero. I guess we'll never know unless another store tries to give it a go; the model of "buy a bunch of stuff online and return all the stuff that doesn't work" feels wasteful and limiting, and physically browsing is just a better experience except for the convenience, so anything to make the brick-and-mortar experience more predictable is welcome.
It takes a lot of time to get familiar with how the game works, how combat works, and how you should fit your ships for your play style. Definitely can feel like a job and/or hopeless at first, but once that initial investment of time has been put in the game can definitely be played casually.

It's a lot of fun to just mess around with a few people in some cheap frigates (basic small ships), sometimes more so than the actual "expensive" areas of the game.

In the short term, this is good news. Sub-replacement fertility is not zero; if the world population were to reduce by 1% per year for a few decades, it would reduce the pressure on the Earth's ecosystems and make some space for a better life for the remaining people. The population can always increase again.
I was curious what happened to the doctor in question: he got off light. Today, if you did unconsented studies like this and it got out, you'd likely be fired and it would be national news.

From the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s, Southam conducted clinical research on people without their informed consent, in which he injected cancer cells (HeLa cells) into their skin, to see if their immune system would reject the cancer cells or if the cells would grow. He did this to patients under his care or others' care, and to prisoners.[3][4] In 1963, doctors Avir Kagan, David Leichter and Perry Fersko of Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital objected to the lack of consent in his experiments and reported him to the Regents of the University of the State of New York which found him guilty of fraud, deceit, and unprofessional conduct, and in the end he was placed on probation for a year.[3][4] Southam's research was conducted in an era when cancer research was closely followed in the mainstream media; his experiments and the case at the Regents were reported in The New York Times.[5][6][7][8][9]

>When I start interviewing for other jobs, how can I ask "do people here understand the need to shut up" without appearing like an asshole?

Honestly? I don't think you can. If you're at the point of regularly quitting jobs over people eating and chatting in an office, you may just have to prioritize a private office or remote work. That will limit your options of course but it may be a tradeoff worth making.
I use this as well. Found it very helpful.
Hi,

Eve is really hard to play alone, it's mesmerizing and it's a great experience to try.

But once you get addicted to some feeling it creates, I urge to join a corporation with well experienced and active people which will be able to let you earn more in a shorter and more social way.

My Eve reality is that I mostly tchat on Discord with my friends while killing some stuff to buy ships / licence / whatever and watch to fight for other people.

There are plenty of activity to do and it's a very unique and awesome piece of experience I never was able to really leave for good.

No, climate change was predicted well before a temperature change was observed (i.e. over 100 years ago), and it was based on the fact that the world burns enormous amounts of coal and the fact that CO2 has a certain infrared absorption spectrum. It was a prediction based on basic physics before an empirical observation of the global result was seen.

But there is something analogous: look at birthrates, and you have a pretty good idea about which direction the population will trend to within a few decades. It's a pretty straightforward, fundamental relationship.
yes, the issue is when you are asking these questions in interviews for jobs where you don't need them.
From a donor point of view, it works differently from patreon and IMO far inferior. On patreon, you sign up to a creator for a fixed amount every month. Once you've subscribed, it's like any other online subscription - every month, your card is automatically charged.

On liberapay, you have to manually fund your account in advance. If your account runs out of money, you have to log back in and top it up again.

This is a great use case for Ethereum and there is an excellent application live for it - gitcoin grants (https://gitcoin.co/grants/). It is really slick and defaults to use a USD pegged stablecoin (DAI).

Not to mention that a lot of introverts self select for jobs like programming, engineering etc...

Meanwhile the majority of people, and certainly the majority of the executives and sales guys, are extraverts and simply can't understand why programmers hate open plan.

Also I think there is an asymmetry.

I think introverts can easily 'get' what extraverts prefer, because honestly extraverts are the majority[1], so when you are an introvert, you get to know extraverts pretty well because you live in an extravert world.

I don't think the reverse is true. Extraverts don't 'get' what introverts like because they don't have to, they are the majority and their preferences dictate how everything is built. Their preferences are the default, and are what is considered 'right.'

[1] They used to say the split was 75% extravert/25% introvert. Later studies report a 50/50 split but extraverts are more outgoing and vocal, so they may still be overrepresented in public debate/discourse.
> Everybody shits, everyday! How is going to the bathroom "not important"?

You also eat every day. Some people eat outside, some cook, some skip meals. Some people don't have fridge. Some have fancy knives.

A constraint is a constraint for everybody, but making that constraint an entry in your pros / cons list for doing something is not universal.

Memorizing a set of facts in your brain has limited usefulness. Imagine memorizing the square root of the numbers from 1-100, a nice little feat but if I then ask you to give me the square root of 135 you would be helpless. A lot of facts gains you very little.

but the list of mailinator domains is easily looked up and blacklisted by most major sites. the op's insight is that sites won't blacklist gmail
That's great and all, but you still need to pick an upstream DNS server. The conventional advice is to use one of these public services, or your ISP's resolvers, to avoid hitting the root servers constantly. A lot of services these days have very short TTLs, so running your own recursive resolver still causes a lot of requests to get forwarded.

Also, as counterintuitive as it might seem, when I use namebench ( https://code.google.com/archive/p/namebench/ ) it still says cloudflare and google are faster than my local resolver. (not by a lot though)
Just like the other comments here I'd suggest focusing on mindset and health. For mindset, I'd recommend looking at stoicism such as with "A guide to the good life." In particular, the parts about accepting reality as it is, sort of like the serenity prayer. I like to think that I go into work with the mindset of giving 100% and should therefore not feel dejected by negative occurances. If I'm not fit for a task, that's ok, I'll either grow or I won't, but I can't expect myself to magically go beyond my full effort no more than I could grow beyond my height at that moment.

Also, health. It always seems to be just a little too imperceptive to really drive home how little things make a big impact. Sleep no less than 8 hours, eat no more than your recommended calories, be active for no less than 20 minutes (walking, cardio, strength, etc... ideally to your target heart rate), and foster strong relationships [1]. Additionally, try to understand what drives your behavior: why did X make me feel Y, and take control of that causation. Seek therapy and read into behavioral literature to better understand yourself.

An inverted age pyramid can be just fine if automation picks up the slack and causes productivity per capita to soar. The great thing about automation is that it’s always improving, never going back (except when old equipment gets retired). Once Tesla improves feature X it’s rolled out to all cars at once, for instance.
The problem is that you are no longer compliant with the email spec: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.2.3

Revert that change. Just like DRM is easily defeated, so is your webapp's alias check, one can simply buy a few cheap domains and your checks fail.
Google TOS is pretty broad. However, one of the main factors here is that export controls could quickly come into play. Since Google is US-based, providing this service for those in embargoed countries could get you shut down quickly.

They also have a "don't misuse our services" clause and I'm sure this would count as misuse if found.
>> I'm aware large cities provide unique challenges and can understand why NYC for instance should be allowed to regulate their own taxi/livery situation,

Firstly -- NYC's regulation of Uber/Lyft probably had much to do with the mayor's massive campaighn donations received from the TLC:

NYTIMES: Taxi Industry Opens Wallet for de Blasio, a Chief Ally by MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUMJULY 17, 2012

I wish Uber/Lyft had lobbied more heavily in NYC...it isnt as if the other side was not lobbying. The cap on Uber/Lyft in NYC is regressive and particularly cruel to the poor. NYC transit has been in a death spiral for several years now and often becomes unusable in weekends/off-hours and in outer-boroughs (you know...when working class individuals commute.) A let-them-eat-cake approach to suggesting that Yellow Cabs (~40$+/ride from Brooklyn) are a solution is absurd when pooled Uber/Lyft offer far better prices and a more sophisticated product (shared rides for 3-4 people.)
wow, sites like neopets.org still exists :)

Also Mailinator is banned by multiple sites and I feel like that number is increasing (anecdata). Which means it's getting less and less useful for the purpose of "burner" email addresses.
Another way I've heard this phrased is that office politics and such are like a game: You will get screwed over by your "friends", it's not personal, and your job is to optimize for your desired outcome.
Speak for yourself; my political aim is to destroy all forms of hierarchical power. Identity and allegiance are just ways that rulers seek to divide and control people. Politics is not about those things except on the shallowest possible level, and among authoritarian personality types.
I don't work at Patreon and I don't be intimate knowledge of their problems. But I can say for sure, they have an awfully difficult problem on their hands.

The first is content. If they want to do business in Germany, they need to make sure there's no Nazi content coming from Germans. They need to make sure there's no child porn. They need to respond to DMCA notices and other types of disputes. They need to keep an eye open to ensure they're not hosting content that violates SESTA/FOSTA.

They need to be sure that creators aren't saying they're providing therapeutic ASMR audio but actually selling synthetic marijuana behind the scenes. They need to handle folks doing obviously risky (or regulated) things, like recommending pharmaceuticals or helping addicts doctor shop.

They need to comply with regional KYC/CDD requirements and verify the identities of the folks on their service. They need to do this in many languages and with local identity documents from around the world.

All of these things cost money to do, even if it's outsourced. And in many cases, the cost grows faster than user acquisition. Patreon could be criticized for censoring content, but they still need to avoid being dragged into court or even shut down. And it seems that they're learning quickly that being compliant and managing risk is not an inexpensive thing to do at scale.

> Rationality isn't a tool, it is perfectly optimal goal seeking.

I think you just agreed with the comment you're trying to disagree with. To paraphrase your comment: "rationality is a tool for achieving one or more goals".

If not a tool, what would you describe it as? Animal instincts - the kind we're hard-wired with - aren't "rational" in the context of human society so being rational is in some sense a choice. The only way to define this away is to extend the definition such that all human behaviour is "rational" because it's meant to fulfill some conscious or unconscious goal. But this definition is useless!
Most of the negative comments are like yours, some version of: "This book is so simple anyone could have written it!"

Hardly insightful.
My kid is really into knights and castles and stuff, so last year we had a 'knight party' where we served [as much as practical] medieval European dishes. It was a blast!

Some of the most helpful books we used in planning were :

"A Medieval Feast" by Aliki [picture book]

"A Medieval Home Companion" by Tania Bayard

One thing that I really liked was the heavy use of herbs for flavoring. Also, the use of flatbread 'trenchers' as plates is sensible; I guess it's kind of like an ancestor to the sandwich.
