I dabble in mountaineering, mostly in the Cascades, it’s an amazing sport.

Everest has an appeal to it of course but the last few years that has dropped to zero. I can’t imagine what it would be like to get stuck in a line like that at the summit.

I’m trying to think of a fair solution here, because there are a lot of moving parts.

Lower the number of permits / raise prices of legitimate permits too much and the black market flourishes. Not to mention the people who work in that sector of Nepalese tourism suffer greatly.

Maybe a fitness test, or proof of past mountaineering experience. But that again seems to open up another can of worms.
How, for example?

> the implementation of Go, and people who can make changes to the specification of Go

Should that be "the reference implementation of Go" ?

The specification mentions "implementation restriction" many times, so the Go spec writers seem to be encouraging other implementations. Besides gc, google also provide gccgo. If you download the gc source, change it a little so it still conforms to the spec, and publish, then that would be another implementation of Go. I believe there's an incomplete JS-based version of Go around as well, so if that's ever finished, that would be another implementation of Go.

It depends on your specific job but generally you're going to have colleagues and customers. Today's customer might be a future collaborator. Today's colleague might be a future co-founder. Today's boss might one day be a buyer.

For me, the CEO of a business where I was a dev eventually retired after acquisition and some years later helped me to find investors in my own startup. If he hadn't thought well of me I doubt he would have helped.

I'm sure many times lawyers don't have expertise in the matter of the trial, but part of their job involves gaining expertise in the subject matter in order to properly pose a stance regarding the potential judgement. A lawyer without a firm grasp of the subject matter is just a bad lawyer... but we don't have that expectation of judges, the assumption is that the judge should push back on assumptions of general knowledge that the judge lacks and force the sides to present a logical argument that the judge can actually comprehend through their own knowledge of the subject matter... This is where I think things have broken down too often recently, lazy judges let lawyers get away with establishing unfounded statements that they accept without full comprehension - then the lawyers build arguments based off of those bad assumptions.
And the way one cannot escape the fucked up parts of this planet at least for a while.
Regardless of the cause of this particular set of events, corporate media engagement as resistance against state actors is the only logical development that can be expected following the Snowden revelations which confirmed that long-theorized postal interception methods are in use. This creates additional pushback for FedEx who now have to prove they aren't working for US intelligence, or face losing additional customers. While other state actors remain valid threats, given US involvement was proven by Snowden and FedEx is so global I am kind of surprised that neither Deutsche Post[0] nor ZTO[1] nor SF Express[2] shares are up on the news.

Once again, humans are a part of nature. Chickens exist in a symbiotic relationship with humans. Would you describe the fungus grown by certain ant colonies as having been 'bred' by the ants or as co-evolving with them? Chicken evolution is only artificial if you consider human desires and motivations as being outside of nature.

> If you are never going to sell your ETF/stocks then yeah it doesn't matter.

Most people are not investing for 'fun', but rather for retirement. So "never" selling, or at least not-selling for several decades, is actually a reasonable assumption.

The main problem is that the general public read headlines and see "Markets Are Crashing!!1!" and pull out. Whereas if they could keep their cool a bit, and stay invested (and ideally keeping investing (monthly?) on the way down), they'll generally end up okay when they approach retirement.

Not many other tourist destinations have that level of global recognition. Regardless of the difficulty. The difficulty probably only adds to it’s allure and humane are biologically hard wired to seek hard challenges.

No, thanks. I had the Internet from the time I was 10. It made me the capable person I am, gave me the incredible career I have today, and showed me all the things I could become. Horizons were crossed that I never dreamed possible. Many of the people I knew never saw these things and they would kill to have my life. I am absolutely committed to a free and open Internet.

Of course, the puritans are against this. The puritans are establishmentarians and authoritarians. You can never do anything because they're protecting you. Oh so very precious, the protection.

Monitoring doesn't have to be tech. It could be something as simple as computer use happens in family areas during formative years.

Also if kids are comfortable talking to you about what they do because parents are understanding rather than judgemental ("how dare you watch X" etc) then they're more likely to tell you if they do come across something like that accidentally.

Climb during the winter. Of course, this is significantly more challenging. Many of the first winter ascents of 8000+ meter peaks weren't until the 80s, 90s, or even 2000s for some peaks.

Unlikely. As per the article due to weather conditions there may only be a few windows of opportunities to make the summit which results in the queues.

I've been using Java since it was released, and (at the same time) Go for several years now.

The amount of cognitive overhead in dealing with all the history that's baked into Java is really annoying. Things like the dated concurrency model, the overachieving in logging (and other) libraries (when one to use?), the poorly thought out I/O libraries, the crazy build tools and slow builds, ... It's always a relief to get back the the smoothness of Go.
Because it's more interesting I think. Like I find europe more interesting than USA because the cultures are more varied and a big reason for that is the language variation.

Honestly, FedEx has a tracking system...

Most recent startup I worked for had a decent concept for an entirely new kind of advertising channel, but the CEO was more interested in fantasizing about running a unicorn than actually building the company. We had the following problems:

- Relied on legacy systems built by large, entrenched companies

- No consideration given to interchange fees that nearly guaranteed operating at a loss

- Repeatedly burned clients by drastically over-promising, delivering late, then abandoning support beyond minor bugfixes

- Poor project management (more interested in tweaking JIRA than answering critical questions)

- No product ownership

- Refusal to build MVPs or prototypes to prove concepts were feasible before trying to turn them into finished products

- Extreme lack of focus

The company still exists because keep having to get money from more and more questionable sources (most recent round came from an investor who is wanted by the Chinese government for corruption). Assuming they continue to operate, I wouldn't be surprised if they got raided and shut down for one financial crime or another.

If you literally want a visual representation, there are systems of differential equations that model biological/chemical reaction-diffusion. Roughly speaking, this gives you a bridge between cellular automata, reaction-diffusion and morphogenesis by defining chemicals, states, species - whatever - as a system of differential equations. These produce organic and natural looking patterns!
This.

And it's not just how it's used today. It's how it can be archived and analyzed 10 years down the road with all the additional information gleaned from you in that time.
That’s a good question. I’m sure there are people who could answer that. WhatsApp famously scaled an erlang app to a billion users around the world. Quite a few people have done it on a large scale. RabbitMQ is also built in Erlang and used in large deployments.

The zero cost stuff is always going to be a big draw with cloud deployments and the various demands from the company. Although a lot of this stuff like messaging and clustering/failover is within the application/Beam VM itself rather than something scaled or managed externally to the software. But that level of server and infrastructure stuff is out of my league of understanding.

I've quit three jobs - basically two because of salary and the last one due to bad working conditions. I've also been fired from one (after continuous arguing with a tyrannical German boss) and made redundant in another in the early 2000's tech crash.

In IT, and I'm assuming that automobile project management might be something similar, there comes a time when the cumulative frustrations are too great and there's no way to improve your lot except moving on. As a number of folks have already said - you can stay where you are, but you know things aren't going to improve. So you figure out what the odds are of improving by doing something else. For myself I always underestimated these odds, thinking safety and security first, but looking back, there's a few times where I'd have been better off leaving earlier, than sticking around hoping things would change.

You've got savings, you have an idea - worst comes to it you get yourself another job in two years after blowing some capital and gaining some experience. Go for it - it'll be worth it in the long run.

It's probably worth noting that this is only a runtime assembler, i.e. it does no parsing. It also doesn't support all of the addressing modes for the instructions that it does support. Nonetheless it does show that assemblers aren't that hard. Adding support for the various addressing modes and amd64 does complicate things but not too badly. Moving forward from this you'd probably want a better scheme for handling the various "extra" bytes (SIB, REX, etc.).

In 1996, when the disaster on Everest results in 8 deaths, it cost participants about $65000 to be hauled to the top by "guides". Some 23 years later, that price is probably close to one hundred grand and the mountain is more crowded than before suggesting cost is not a factor here.
Reading this, it sounds like depression/exhaustion is your problem and not necessarily your job. I recently had a bout of almost burnout, and I did a few experiments to see if anything got better.

One, I realized that I was drinking a ton of caffeine (coffee, soda, etc), and that maybe that was the reason I was high-strung and irritable all the time. I cut out caffeine on March 3, 2019, and within 1 week I felt calmer and more relaxed. I was less irritable, and I found myself listening more calmly to the people that irritated me.

Second, I started running every day for at least 1 mile. I've been a runner for years, but I've gotten out of the habit. A coworker challenged me to run at least 1 mile per day (~10 minutes -- totally doable!) and I'm currently on Day 58. When I wake up in the morning, I immediately go for a run. This has three side effects: 1) it's a great way to WAKE UP, 2) it gives me a kick of endorphins that keeps me happy and upbeat for at least the next several hours, 3) it kickstarts the metabolism and I've lost a few pounds since I started and clearly built up some muscle as well.

Third, and probably most importantly, I went to see a doctor about my mood swings. She prescribed a mood stabilizer which took a month to kick in, but I definitely feel better. I haven't been grumpy in months, and I'm generally happier and more productive than I was before.

I don't necessarily recommend that you do the above things, but it sounds like a change in your daily routine, plus maybe some professional help (there's nothing to be ashamed of!) might be a good way to get through your current slump.

Changing a job is one way to do this, but it's worth taking a deep introspective look to see if it's the job that's making you miserable. Who's to say that the next job won't _also_ make you miserable? So my advice would be to see if you can determine what you _can_ control that might help you feel better.

Hope that helps.

The Huawei spokesperson said they contained important commercial documents, not equipment:

The type of person that wants to climb Everest is what I refer to as "Checklisters". They have a list of things they want to do so that they can impress others and they run through that list collecting prestige points.

Its the same empty emotion as greed. And just like greed it is a bottomless pit where it is never enough.

Because of that, when someone tells me they did something like climb Everest, I instantly write them off as a very shallow person that only cares about what other people think of them.
