I imagine it's the overwhelming feeling of "why am i here/why do i exists/what is my purpose in life/what is the meaning of it all?"

For me personally, it's usually a passing feeling, but once every few years it grows into a multi-day/week long feeling that borders on depression.

Why do I have to work? What am I toiling for? When I die, who cares? Everyone who's died before me - who cares? Those who lived a good, lucky life vs had a terrible one under oppression/torture, why did I get this one? What does it matter?

At these points, I tend to take a hard look at life and ask myself "What do I want?" and "What is making me feel this way?"

Sometimes I come up with an answer for the 2nd, mostly it's just empty noise (it's existential, so that's kind of expected). So the driving question for me becomes, what do I want?
As an anarchist, I feel this is necessary here:

George Felton Obituary
> a non-CSPRNG makes sense, as they're still faster

Nowadays with highly optimized and often hardware-accelerated crypto, I honestly doubt it matters.

Using "openssl rand", I can generate randomness 2x as fast as with a naive

while (1) { r = rand(); fwrite(&r, 4, 1, stdout); }

compiled with -O2. If I replace "openssl rand" with "openssl enc -aes-128-ctr < /dev/zero", I get randomness 4 times faster again, i.e. 8 times as fast as with the naive approach using rand(), hundreds of megabytes on a single core.

And I don't have to worry about the properties of the PRNG.
Recently traveled internationally. I cannot agree with the claims of this clickbaity article. In the security line there were numerous signs telling passengers they could opt out of having their photo taken.

As I approached the kiosk, I mentioned that I preferred to not have my photo taken, and was nearly cut off by the lady asking for my passport.

I'd argue that getting my passport scanned was quicker than waiting for the machine go take your picture.

I heard about this bottleneck a lot, but I just haven't noticed it--I do not have thermal issues. I run in clamshell in a cheap vertical lap top stand. I rarely hear the CPU come on when I'm docked with the standard BM eGPU.

I run scaled 'looks like' 2560 x 1440. I run tons of apps and browser tabs in multiple spaces.

I only notice the CPU is weak when I'm encoding with something that isn't aided by GPU.

One case I do hear the fan come on is near the end of a 200+ step unit test in pycharm on my primary personal web app.

But that is just about the only time I can think of it comes on and it shuts back down as soon as my tests complete. (hopefully all passing!)

A bit more on my specific setup:

- 2018 MBA (maxed out)

- Dell P2715Q monitor

- Blackmagic eGPU

- Edifier S880DB (USB HD Audio)

- AT2020 USB+ mic

- Logitech C920S webcam

- Vertical Laptop stand

- Magic keyboard / trackpad

This setup is probably the best I've ever had, because the portability is great and the docked situation is just very, very good. All those peripherals off a single connection to the laptop.

I am hoping that the ARM mac will have much better graphics, but I think it is likely at least the first two generations of it will still be majorly improved even by the 580 in the current blackmagic.

It is worth mentioning that I do try to use the software disconnect of the eGPU and have had that just stall out or not complete. I have not tried the trouble shooting someone suggested here though--and it is so stable w the BM that I don't worry about yanking the cable anymore.
I'm astounded sometimes how little people know about history anymore.

Yeah the penstemon (Panoche and Blue Springs[1]) were planted together with some woolly sunflower and a native lupine. I also have some epilobium and monkey flower going. None require much water.

Of that one group, the sunflower was the only one that survived. The penstemon were just the biggest magnets for aphids, fungus, and spider mites. One of them bolted, but both had some amazing flowers that the bees loved. In the end I think the soil was just nutrient deficient.

The sunflower has mostly taken over (but is loathe to actually flower), and I've planted a magentaish monkey flower and another lupine. This time around the lupine looks much better. The epilobium and the orange monkey flower continue to thrive.

I'd love to plant another penstemon, but I think next up might be a yellow lupine.

We have a legacy platform running on VMWare with an NFS SAN. If/when connectivity is lost between the cluster and the SAN we get to experience resolving disk issues across several hundred VMs. Yanking access to the underlying storage device creates the most frustrating array of issues in Linux, depending really on the workload on the server. By far the most common is the mount becomes read only, forcing a reboot, which halts in order to fsck. Windows on the other hand just resumes from where it left off, or sometimes reboots but is usually clean.

This platform is currently being retrofitted with vsan.
One or two on the list are non-native, simply because their nectar production was so good. Admittedly I've been relatively blasé when it comes to native vs non-native. My only requirements were that bees like it and it can grow in the hard, clay-like soil in my garden. I've had no issues with the native plants getting blocked out by the non-native, but I will keep an eye on it and remove any foreign guests that seem to be taking my hospitality too generously.
KKR salvaged GoDaddy from shuttering completely and turned it profitable for the first time in its history. Sometimes it works.
For a while when I was younger I didn't experience hunger very often, I had existential crises instead. It was a bit ridiculous, the world would start crashing down around me, everything about my life would become terrible, unbearable burden... and then I would get to wondering about how long it had been since my last meal. A few bites into the subsequent sandwich and everything was back to normal.

Now I just get foggy and easily irritated.
Normally insurance is still valid in case of intermediaries, your travel insurance is perfectly valid if you booked through an OLTA. Maybe it’s just a question of certification?
Why would any paying customer use ReactOS over windows? There is no support (security patches automatically supplied ETC). Windows 10 is evergreen and new feature appear quite often. Microsoft loses exactly zero dollars a year because of ReactOS. People who don't want to pay for windows just pirate it. Those who do pay, get it buldled with a computer or laptop that they purchase, or are corporations who need support. ReactOS will always be a tinkerers hobby... Did they steal code? Did they reverse engineer so good that it looks like they stole code? Who cares really... Not Microsoft. Why would they?

It's part of libc, so not GCC specific, it's basically native on linux and usable just about anywhere you'd want printf functionality. If the bloat (like this feature) of gnu libc are too much then I doubt the c++/d/rust equivalents will be an acceptable option. Likewise if gcc and clang (which supports printf) aren't possible then I very much doubt the platform is a compiler target for modern c++/d/rust.
Microsoft does not release the kernel’s private symbols, trust me on that. But yes there was some leaks in the past, small portions of NT4 and W2K were leaked, I think I link to a Google query pointing to articles discussing the leaks in the Quora reply.

In terms of books that is very much a non Apple issue. Every country can (and does?) ban some books from publication. Whether it’s political or „save the children“, it’s a normal government process and your chosen platform, digital or paper, is irrelevant. Picking out Apple for book censorship is wrong.

Apps on the other hand you are totally right about. This censorship exists with app stores only. But in practical terms, is there really a difference between side loading iOS apps or installing android apps from binary? If anything I would prefer the open source nature of side loading

This is such a huge thing. If you are trying to reverse engineer something, spend time looking for other versions or test releases that might be out there. I've had a lot of success with this method.

However, the vines themselves are a thorny menace, with a coating of sharp, strong spines that hook backwards towards the root. Catch one of these sometimes slender tendrils around an ankle while walking, and you might think you can just pull through it... and rapidly learn that you shouldn't.

I was never a fan of try. It's too magical and breaks the flow.

Far better to use something more explicit and controllable:

f, err := os.Open(filename) onerr return 0, err

which is just syntactic sugar for:

f, err := os.Open(filename)
if err != nil {
return 0, err
}

also:

err := DoSomething() onerr {
fmt.PrintF("We got error %v\n", err)
return 0, err
}

As a random outsider who really couldn't care less about the service CloudFlare provides: their responses to outages and transparency is really great and I wish more tech companies would do the same. It gets tiring hearing about large outages at over services/providers and only learning that they were caused by "network partitions", or other networking issues. Every company has to deal with these issues and CloudFlare does an awesome job at letting me at least learn something about what went wrong when these incidents happen.
Always, But for me I settle down with my religious preaching in mind. Such as the sole purpose of life is to worhship God. Do good deeds, provide comfort to needy and wait for my time to die. Every step towards good deeds provide satisfaction and every bad act brings mysery.

> Fe-Si is a simplified version of Bluespec, an HDL based on a notion of guarded atomic actions. Fe-Si is defined as a dependently typed deep embedding in Coq. The target language of the compiler corresponds to a synthesisable subset of Verilog or VHDL. A key aspect of our approach is that input programs to the compiler can be defined and proved correct inside Coq. Then, we use extraction and a Verilog back-end (written in OCaml) to get a certified version of a hardware design.

Several countries have forced CEO pay to be published in hopes to guilt them into taking less pay.

In most cases it ended up skyrocketing as a result. CEOs could see exactly what every other CEO was on when negotiating. Meanwhile boards didn't want to pay under market rate and be blamed for cheaping out if things went wrong.

Many tourist busses have insanely high prices, and as a result end up nearly empty.

In London for example, a hop-on-hop-off bus would cost you £25, while a regular bus would cost you £1.50 for an hour or more of top-deck sightseeing.

Said tourist busses normally only have ~5 passengers on out of a capacity of 60
Yes. Still hits me from time to time, but it mostly happened between when I was 21-24 y/o.

I don't know why it happens man, it occurred to me whenever I was faced with a deep-rooted issue, an issue that got me exhausted or worried. For example, one of my colleagues, a new hire, died in an accident 4 days into his new job. It got me thinking why do we even exist, why do we die, why were we sent here?

Or when I was bored of life or was so indulged in work that I thought fuck this shit, what am I doing? Why do I even exist? What's the goal? What will happen once we die and get alive again? Even if I do exist, what's the purpose?

How did/do I handle with it? Spirituality helps, you pray to God (I'm a Muslim), then you move on. What helps is that most of us are in that crisis so you tell yourself, "Oh, alright. I'm not alone. Guess I just need to drag myself through life.". You get depressed, you get worried, you get panic attacks sometimes, you cry, you have trouble sleeping. But then... then you just wake up and you get some happiness, and then you move on. You just drag yourself.

To conclude, I find it weird how I've struggled to put my thoughts into words because I usually am able to explain myself properly. So I don't know? Just keep moving I guess... Sorry I don't think I helped.

So, real talk on a throwaway from someone who's been there. The one thing you probably could have done is to cultivate a better personal relationship with your client. If you develop a real relationship outside of work, this is much less likely to happen. If it's breaking up with your girlfriend instead of breaking up with your laundry detergent brand, the activation energy is different.

Second, keep it professional, fulfill your obligations, be slightly generous, but not too generous. Follow up in 5 months. Indian outsourcing is usually a disaster. The problem is that your client (your contact at the company) may have gotten himself into a tight situation. If outsourcing fails, you need to understand what he can do politically without looking like an idiot. One option might be less hours at a higher hourly rate.
