I thought quite a bit on the topic of craving and frustration. I wrote an article about it that I could email to you if you would like.

And I learned a thing or two about stress when I studied psychology.

Here are my thoughts (without sources and a bit worse editing as I am on my phone).

> I certainly crave challenging problems.

When crave something I always wonder how it is different vs a cocaine addict craving cocaine. I crave mental stimulation as well, so here are my observations:

1. Psychological addiction is possible.

2. Craving too much mental stimulation could weaken your social ties depending on how you seek it out.

3. You become intellectually sharper at whatever it is you’re stimulated by but in almost all cases not sharper in other areas, even when skills are transferable (unless the areas are really close).

4. As almost always, following a chronic crave does not make you happier. Like scratching an itch doesn’t make you happier.

Being frustrated is not an issue in my opinion. Frustration results from not achieving your goal while you believe you should still be able to progress but somehow you don’t. There is no stress there as you can simply do something else. Take the option of doing something else away and then you do have stress (e.g. this wasn’t a frustrating hobby problem in your free time but a problem on your job that is making your company lose $10k per hour).

> I worry if the type of person who seeks out stimulating work and having that become a source of stress is risking damaging their health in the longer term

Only if it is chronic. Read about the HPA axis. It proposes a biological explanation for depression through stress. Also, burnout is symptomatically very similar to depression (I am on mobile cannot find the source now, but any decent search engine can help).

> I always vaguely assumed thinking hard about problems was a net positive for my brain & would keep me mentally active

In this particular case the exercise analogy works. If you do anything physical (or mental) that is beyond your capacity or stamina but you somehow are forced to go through with it, then you will experience stress.

In closing only chronic stress is a bad thing since we can recuperate from temporary stress. Aka we simply need the ability to rest and the ability to recover.

On a short-term basis, stress is a good motivator to some.

Related to all of this (in an unusual way) is the self-determination theory of motivation. What you may see here is that in my examples people have little to no autonomy and that results in stress.
Doesn't have to be greater than winter usage to be problematic. All it takes is several unfortunate events occurring at the same time—the kind of curve ball father time likes to throw occasionally. Say, extra hot weather, little wind which leaves wind power lacking, a few gas power plants out for technical reasons or supply shortage and then throw in baseload nuclear power plants short on water.. Unlikely? Yes, but unlikely events occur all the time. And for something essential as electricity..such a risk should be taken seriously, not dismissed out of hand as a "non-problem"
I for one would much rather go for an interesting 50-year vision instead of pushing for quarterly stock gains exclusively.

That's great if you're, say, under the age of 50 and plan to hold your stock your entire life until retirement.

But consider a company whose stock price never went up but which had a great 50 year vision. Maybe towards the end of the 50 years it starts going up fast, but by then you already lived a big chunk of your life and passed many moments when you could have used some of the money.

At some point you're going to want ROI. One quarter is short for sure, but 50 years is the opposite extreme. Why wait such a long time for hypothetical ROI that may never come?

For Google specifically their problem is their revenue has way outpaced their ability to come up with new ideas. Since Larry Page stepped into the shadows the ambition and drive are gone. I'm not sure there's any vision, let alone a 50 year vision. The only highlights are their successes with AI, and maybe Waymo, but those are small parts of the overall company. AI mostly seems to be leading to incremental improvements in their existing products.

When you cast your eyes wider you see large amounts of what might uncharitably be described as self-indulgent waste. How many chat services are they up to now? And how many of them had any kind of interesting competitive advantage? How many languages and VMs without any obvious competitive advantage has Google created? How many internal systems do they rewrite without any clear idea of why, other than because someone needs to get promoted?

Dig around and discover just how many projects there are producing uncompetitive 'experimental' pseudo-products nobody has ever heard of and likely nobody ever will e.g.

https://www.blog.google/outreach-initiatives/arts-culture/ex...

https://www.blog.google/products/photos/gallery-go/

Google has so many products they end up reusing their own names! Google Go is one thing, Google Gallery Go is a totally different thing - a mobile photo gallery app specifically for Nigeria, for some reason.

When you look at the firm closely you see a firehose of projects with zero business case and often near-zero impact. Why does Google think these things are better ways to invest the money than what other companies are doing?
> It is, but considering the estimated $1T market and all players having some exponential growth-looking curves (IIRC) the difference is pretty insignificant.

Last article I saw (which, weirdly, spun this as Amazon losing dominance to Microsoft) had AWS with twice MS’s cloud year-over-year growth rate (that is, twice the base in the exponential formula) as well as a bigger current slice of the pie.

Exponential growth doesn't make differences insignificant if the rates aren't equal (though I guess the starting difference is less important than the rate difference over the long term.)

That's gotta be the most boring discussion ever. I guess I'll leave you to it.
Is that not right there in my comment?

Y'all need to take a serious fucking step back and evaluate the words said here. I love America and everyone in it. People stateside are incredibly nice people on the whole and sometimes you need a rude foreigner to say some blunt stuff for the sake of honesty.

Get a grip on these criticisms mate. I stand by everything said above. It's fucking true and challenge you to prove otherwise.

I wouldn't care nor be commenting if I didn't like you guys, leave the nationalism at the door please.

China is far more free. 100% stand by that statement. Have you tried living there lately?

Its astounding how many people are willfully ignoring what's happening in the biggest country on Earth for the sake of some sort of nationalist pride matter. Do so at your peril. Honestly. The media is straight up lying to you about what's happening there and yet people lap it up.

This is a really interesting area and problem. When you factor in the extra food we need to produce to feed a population expected to hit 9bn people AND the increased demand for a more western diet from a growing middle class in places like China and India, we need some serious innovation in agriculture.

Another interesting area not covered in the article is genetic engineering bacteria in soil to fix nitrogen, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers: https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2018/11/20/can-genetic-en...
Isn't the opioid crisis caused by sales reps directly marketing to doctors and promising benefits that didn't really exist (lower risk of addiction, lower dosis required for certain amounts of time)? Not sure how removing marketing to consumers changes the situation.

The biggest problem with custom engines is really the tools -- it isn't that hard (relatively) to build a modern feature-rich 3D gaming engine.

OTOH, it is very difficult to build a full tool pipeline that supports that engine.

Most of the value of Unreal or Unity is that the tools are already there and they more or less Just Work and a lot of people know how to use them.
You forgot kissing higher up's asses. Really hard.
Gamergate must seem like a walk in the park compared to the garbage the platform has to contend with a moderate now.
"Managers sometimes like the people on their teams, and don't want to fire them."

I remember early in my career meeting a very senior and experienced manager from another company on the same project who said he intentionally didn't become too friendly with people in case he had to sack them - which I thought must be a miserable way to live. NB I have sacked people for poor performance and laid off people I considered friends (and who are still friends).
Great to see the continous progress on the Starship project. This was only a small hop but an important test as a step to the real flight tests, which might be only days or a few weeks away, if no problem sends them back to the drawing board for an important component.
The most critical part right now would be the real-life performance and behavior of the new raptor engines.

This thread is talking about playing random -- by aid of a computer providing random numbers. The result is just that -- 1/3 of the time each option is played. The issue here is this AI is able to best random, and that is not something that should happen.

Performance matters! It is important to find the source of the slowness - for example I discovered some CSS animations are useless and very slow. Vuetify material button felt very slow on touch until I removed that useless material ink spreading effect, which IIRC even had to modify DOM after touching it to work. I still believe JS apps can work fast, if only developers cared more about speed than all those useless animations and transitions...
I mean, the alternative is routing it nowhere. Might as well throw it at the wall and see if it sticks.

> No, this problem has been studied and democracy (that is, rule by the people) empirically requires an electoral system that had the capacity to support multiple competitive parties

First democracy: ca. 500 BC

First political parties: ca. 1800 AD

We could discuss in detail whether the EU system or the US system enforces more artificial limits, in the end the EC remains much less democratic due to its relative power and independence from the electorate.
Sqlite has been rewritten in both Go and C#.

It's really not that hard. The code is clearly documented and everything works in roughly the same way. Easily achievable by a single developer in a few months.

Sqlite code is emulating classes with structs and methods (they're even called classes in the code). This it's pretty easy to translate into languages with reference and struct support.

Memory allocation is separated into an allocation provider, which is easy to implement in GC languages (just create the struct requested).

The parser and VM opcode file is tricky. The opcodes are parsed from comments in one big file. I'm not a fan of that. But once generated for a particular version, pretty easy to translate.

Testing is another can of worms. Translating the exact version of Tcl, too is the best course of action. This is required to run and pass the (hundreds of thousands of) base line tests. Other correctness tests (in sqlite because of branch coverage requirements for aircraft software) are harder to translate. The prerelease burn in test is also not publicly available.

Preprocessor directives are not used as macros. Rather they are used to enable features. In a port, you can for example choose to exclude WAL or specific optimizations. FTS can be left out if not needed. The different lock implementations can be deferred to the stdlib.

If you interested in the perf overhead, here's a small benchmark of a C# implementation I maintain:

This is as old as photography is a thing. I've been to that area in France many times in my life. My parents actually lived there for a while after they retired and it used to be our default vacation destination when I was young. It's been a popular destination for tourists quite long and tourism is a big part of the local economy. Vincent van Gogh did some selfies there way back before photography was a thing (with a paint brush). The landscape is pretty (particularly the lavender fields), the weather is nice, and the food/wine are awesome. It's a nice place to go. Despite the tourists.

Most of the lavender grown there is used to produce the lavender infused tourist junk you can find all over that area. It's literally the primary reason for that farm to be farming the stuff. So, having the odd tourist come along and taking some photos is maybe a necessary evil.

Tourists misbehaving and spoiling things has been a thing for as long as tourism has been a thing. The only thing that is worse is locals destroying their environment to draw in yet more tourists and squeeze every drop of revenue from them. Many idyllic places have long turned into package tourism hell with lots of cheap constructions, masses of tourists getting drunk and stuffing their face with junk food and nothing authentic whatsoever anywhere in sight. Arles where Van Gogh used to hang out is a good example.
I used to have work email and slack on my phone, but, yeah, I now only read work communications on my laptop, during work hours. If there's something urgent that needs to get to me after hours, they can call me instead. I don't work outside of work hours anymore unless its really urgent and I try to not think about work much outside of work hours. The rest of the time is my time, not theirs.

Solution to riddle in Waterfall Dungeon

After travelling to the Waterfall Dungeon in Song of Elves quest, there is a riddle which requires you to use items on the pillars around the tomb. You should notice that the items for each pillar are the same for all players, but the layout is random which requires you to inspect the pillars to figure out the order. Don’t forget to read the book before placing any items.

There are 6 items with respective numbers:
1 - Nature rune
2 - Flowers
3 - Black knife or Black dagger
4 - Wine of Zamorak or Zamorak brew
5 - Adamant chainbody
6 - Cabbage

Strategies for defeating the Fragment of Seren

You need to beat the Fragment of Seren in the final part of OSRS Song of the Elves quest. Here are some useful strategies:
1. Before entering the fight, it is recommended to drink a dose of saradomin brew and super restore potion.
2. You’d better activate protect from range and mystic might during the fight.
3. Prioritise hitting damage before the Seren fragment enters the pillar phase. After destroying all the pillars, drink saradomin brew and make sure your hitpoints are higher than your hitpoint level.
4. When the attack is over, drink saradomin brew again and then 2 doses of the super restore potion, in order to make sure your magic level stays high.

Hope our guide can help you complete the Song of Elves OSRS quest.

Besides, you can use 6% off code "JUSTPP" for Osrs gold / Runescape 3 Gold and all other products buying from https://www.rsorder.com/ anytime.
Call me disfunctional or workaholic, but after I tried the strategy you are suggesting I wasn't happier at all.

Specifically, I personally am able to keep my work stress level in balance just if I have all work communications (especially emails and slack) on my phone, so that I can take a quick look at what's happening even when I'm not working.

This doesn't mean I actually end up working after hours: in fact, 99% of the times I just skim over the push notifications in a few seconds and go back to what I was doing.

I found it to be much less stressful than having to wake up in the morning and see the massive burst of activity that happened between 5pm and 8am (especially if your team is distributed across different time zones like mine).

And God forbid if I did that when I go on a 2 weeks vacation, I actually wouldn't be able to enjoy the vacation at all because I would always be thinking about the mayhem that's waiting for me on my return. If I am able to glance at the notifications a few times a day instead and occasionally reply on some really high priority stuff, it calms me down because I can get an idea of what has been happening.

I'm not sure this is healthy, but I tried your strategy several times and it never worked for me, and this is also in different contexts (e.g. different teams and/or employers). It might also be because I have always held a position of tech lead/manager, so in general there is always a stream of people who are asking for my input on something (that being said, I heavily rely on delegation and people are fully responsible for their own decisions, but they just end up pinging me regardless because I have significant contexts about the projects).
Yeah, I totally agree your point. The better medical condition inevitably making those mutations deadly years ago now survivable. These conditions are also called rare diseases by NIH. They won’t worth the effort for pharma to develop traditional treatment. But genetic manipulation like crispr might help to cure, it might be late for your son, but might still helps.
Note that Goproxy China has been completely handed over to China's well-trusted cloud service provider Qiniu Cloud today, it's now a business-supported project rather than a personal project, and it has been CDNed.

If you live in China or travel to China, then we hope that you'll think of the goproxy.cn in the first place. :-)

By the way, the goproxy.cn supports proxying checksum databases (sum.golang.org). So don't worry, you are safe.
They would pay a premium to avoid uncertainty, so they wouldn't accept that offer either. The uncertainty is the same whether you sell or buy the flips. I don't know you, but I guess you wouldn't pay $499K for a $1M/$0 flip, and you wouldn't sell such a flip for $499K either. This is the same phenomenon on a much smaller scale.
As far as I understand things, 5G is non-ionizing so the answer would appear to be "nowhere".
Suitable: exploratory development in ClojureScript
From personal experience custom engines offer more flexibility, assuming they're not 20 year old monolithic behemoths that tens (or hundreds!) of developers added their little piece and nobody bothered to remove much over the years. IF they're not that, it becomes easier to mold them to what your game(s) need (especially if you focus on similar genres, at least from a gameplay/engine requirements perspective).

Also from a tools perspective, big generic engines like Unreal and Unity have their established ways of working internally that may make writing good tools either hard or suboptimal (meaning that you can do something but since it isn't how the engine likes things it would not be fast). It is usually good enough for most uses, but if you want to make something very specialized you'll have a better time doing it with an engine you have control over, otherwise it'll be an uphill battle (there are cases with Unity for example of people having tools outside the engine and just import the final data, using Unity as little more than a scriptable renderer with asset manager and physics).

On the other hand, custom engines mean custom tools and more often than not tools get the short end of the stick in custom engines. It is a double edged sword, on one side you can make some simple and great tools that focus exactly on what your game is all about (something like Unreal is similar to C++: there is a lot of stuff that you can ignore but they still provide mental overhead even when you ignore them), but on the other side you have to make tools (and just in case, using Blender or 3ds max or whatever as your level editor is the perfect road to inflict pain on everyone involved, often leads to low performance with little visibility on why - and unless you have a vendetta against level designers do not even consider using dummy objects for level scripting, the only thing worse than that is asking people to paint triggers on a grayscale terrain texture using Photoshop).

(note that i'm assuming you have access to source code here which rules out Unity for the majority of developers using it - and of course i also assume that you have the know-how for working on custom engines)
