Skimming this brought to mind some of the best advice I received as a co-founder: "get over yourself".
There's breathing and then there's breathing.

Where are you breathing from, in your body? Are you taking small breaths just using your upper chest? Or do you breath from the diaphragm, filling the lower (and larger) parts of your lungs? Aka breath "from the belly". Lungs are sort-of bell-shaped: Image search of lungs: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lungs&atb=v60-1&iax=images&ia=imag...

If you are hunching over and/or tensing up your torso that might be your problem right there?
I love coding in a "C+" subset of C++, meaning minimal use of OOP, and maximal use of RAII, smart pointers, and STL. It's hard to beat C++ when it's scoped down like this.
I read your comment and realized I don't think much about what it means to have native Windows support in a programming language. A crystal issue page [1] talks about two ways to support Windows:

- Cygwin (POSIX)

- Native Windows API support

Though I wonder if targeting .NET would be something to consider. It would not save much effort, compared to Windows API, but in principle, .NET is a portable platform (like POSIX).

Also I wonder why the LLVM project doesn't make it relatively easier to support multiple platforms (including Windows). The whole promise of LLVM is that your prog-lang just targets LLVM (so to speak) and doesn't have to worry about specific platforms.

With new drugs you can make the argument that development costs need to be recovered while they are still under patent protection. Time and cost of development is high, 10 - 15 years and several billions, and a successful outcome is not guaranteed. This is the order of magnitude of a flagship space program of a large nation.

Where you really have no excuse is the price for old drugs that get bought up by venture capital. Wilson's disease is treated with triethylenetetramine. The price had always been ~ USD 600 for 100 pills until the manufacturer became bought out by Valeant, who then raised it to 20 kUSD for 100 pills. There was the usual protestations by Hillary Clinton and other politicians, but the price is still where it is. Where is the revolution?

It's sensational to make a claim that's based on the opinion of a few people in the world, some who are motivated to sell a product. It's plausible criminals are following the path of least resistance (occum's razor) but I'd like to see data backing the claim that "most cybercrime doesn't involve computer hacking".

>> We’ve been waiting for years.

Given the current status of the Windows port or any other issue, it is no good as a programmer "Waiting for years" and not even donating to said project and expecting any progress. That's like creating a new motor company with zero funding with a small team of less than 20 and its users begging for progress on a production-ready concept car in Q4.

> If you'd like Windows support, one thing you could do to help is donate time or money to the Crystal project

That's the sort of impression I expect from any meritocratic open-source project these days. Anyone interested in the project can donate their time to getting Windows support working or if they can't do that GitHub sponsors provides the shortest route to donating to devs (Like yourself RX14) who work on Crystal. No excuses from 'interested programmers' who want to use Crystal to complain for years about Windows on Crystal then.
Thanks a lot, that explains the struggle.
When you say open-source it's rather general. I.e. not open-source software or hardware, so it does imply it's open-source both (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_hardware not "open hardware")

Not sure how I feel that security is casually referenced as a passing thought on that page.

Compare it with something else, like Firefox Send, which puts security and privacy front-and-center in its description. https://send.firefox.com/

Why should I trust Dropbox Transfer over Firefox Send?
The "security" of this device is a joke, just look at how randomness is derived:

unsigned int analog1 = analogRead(ANALOGPIN1);
RNG.stir((uint8_t *)analog1, sizeof(analog1), sizeof(analog1)*2);
unsigned int analog2 = analogRead(ANALOGPIN2);
RNG.stir((uint8_t *)analog2, sizeof(analog2), sizeof(analog2)*2);

(See [0] for a comprehensive summary of why this is a terrible thing to do)

And yeah, analogRead() is a function from the Arduino library because .. well, apparently there's an Arduino compatible chip inside that does all the cryptographic operations. Meaning that there is no hardware security whatsoever and it's trivial to extract all your keys from the device if you ever lose it. Whoops.

Just use RINA:

> The Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA) is a new computer network architecture proposed as an alternative to the architecture of the currently mainstream Internet protocol suite. The RINA's fundamental principles are that computer networking is just Inter-Process Communication or IPC, and that layering should be done based on scope/scale, with a single recurring set of protocols, rather than function, with specialized protocols. The protocol instances in one layer interface with the protocol instances on higher and lower layers via new concepts and entities that effectively reify networking functions currently specific to protocols like BGP, OSPF and ARP. In this way, the RINA proposes to support features like mobility, multihoming and Quality of Service without the need for extra specialized protocols like RTP and UDP, as well as allow simplified network administration without the need for concepts like autonomous systems and NAT.

Our vet advised us against buying insurance. He said that in his experience, the policies tend to exclude a given dog breed's common maladies. So, for example, if your German Shepard ever got hip displasia, it wouldn't be covered.

We had Buster, the GSD, for 13 years and over the course of that time his vet treatments cost a fair amount in addition to normal stuff

* Root canal (he broke a fang chewing a rock)

* 2x surgery for ACLs in both hind legs

* surgery to remove carcinoma on his jaw

* prednisone shots for arthritis

That probably comes to something around $10K over those 13 years. But really, it's not that different from what we'd have been paying in premiums anyway.

No. Emotional healing became my top priority when I was effectively broke and homeless. I mean, I was crashing at my parents and friends’ places, but it was a profoundly miserable (and low-Maslow) state of existence.

Founders of break-out successful companies don’t just voluntarily embark on emotional healing practices once they reach the pinnacle of business success. They generally do that when they suffer a humiliating fall from grace. E.g., Early-career Steve Jobs and Jack Dorsey.

Also, Maslow’s model isn’t really broadly accepted in mainstream psychology, certainly not in any linear sense.

I used to review consumer electronics as a side gig, and one year Shure was nice enough to send me one of every in-ear headset they made. This was around 2005 or so. The gear was excellent, fantastic sound quality, but they all broke. Even the $700 pair. The cable got pinched or something. Shure replaced them (even though at this point they were out of warranty), and the replacement pair broke a year later. Wires suck.

a) Thread context was communist poland being a vassal of the USSR, whose policy was subordinate to the CPSU. These examples highlight that policy was not in fact independent in these countries, and, when significant deviation occured, soviet military invasion was a consequence. Whether the uprisings / deviations are good or bad is secondary to this point.

b) As for 'facism': show me the 'facism' in the key documents:

HU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demands_of_Hungarian_Revolutio...

CS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_with_a_human_face

(yes, wikipedia scholarship, better sources welcome)

while I have no doubt that facists would piggy-back on to any anti-communist movement to seize a moment of opportunity, framing either of these as 'facist' at their core is at best poor analysis. Even hard-core bolsheviks would differentiate betwean 'bourgeois-democratic reactionaries' and 'facists' since being clear in distinction is necessary for proper argument/strategy.
If you are working for a single client and have such micro management that your work is subdivided into tiny tasks and feel that rejecting it would be an issue, then you are not really self employed, you are a remote worker...

Normally the typical advice when someone who is self employed has too much work is for them to raise their rates, but this works much better if you have more than one client since that does mean that you still have some clients to fall back on otherwise...

For your specific situation, I'm not sure what to say, apart from advising you to try to get out of this situation by 1) finding other better paying clients and 2) slowly reducing the tasks you do for your current client to the more value added tasks.

There are some projects that have solutions, but not great ones. My definition of great is something that people with very little technical knowledge can set up themselves, correctly and securely. This is based on my experience, trying to show non technical people how to self host some things.

- File, email self hosted and e2e encryption has Nextcloud, but only technical people can set it up. There should be a happy-clicky thing that non technical people could set up and it would force them to do it the right way, because the right way is the easy way. By happy-clicky, I mean, they create an account on any VPS provider, then click "add service", say how big to let it scale to, define what domain name to use and they are done.

- Web based chat servers that scale. Again, there are web front-ends, like Convos and TheLounge you can put in front of IRCD, but non technical people don't have the patience to set up IRC networks and put web front-ends on them. If there was a happy-clicky solution that used RPC over HTTPS or something to negotiate clusters and all the person has to do is point DNS to it, then more people would self host chat.

- File sharing. If there was something lighter weight than NextCloud that could auto-scale in any VPS provider and could be deployed from each VPS provider, then more people would self host. I almost wrote something like this out of necessity but so many people were using dropbox, I abandoned it.

In summary, I think the gap that needs to be filled is to have more projects that integrate into VPS providers (by the VPS provider) and be part of their VM deployment system, so that anyone can deploy them easily. Maybe there could even be a business model around integrating 3rd party services into each of the VPS providers, following some non vendor specific standard, that all the VPS providers could set up. Linode, Vultr, AWS, Azure, Softlayer, OVH, Hetzner, Digital Ocean, etc... and no code specific to any of them. All of them should have a standard API that services can be integrated into and then easily deployed securely and correctly by less than technical people.

I've been self-employed for 20 years, and the idea that I would need to justify vacation is honestly a bit foreign. I assume that I'm going to be taking vacations, and if a customer has specific availability needs, then that's just something that needs to be negotiated. If a potential customer would only accept continuous work with no vacation, I imagine I'd pass. It's important to bill at a rate high enough that unpaid vacation is covered, and bench time between gigs is covered. (After all, employers budget for their employees to take vacation, so you should also budget similarly.)

When you bill by the hour, it's natural to start thinking of everything in terms of lost time and money. And I actually think it's reasonable to think about the cost of taking time off, but if this is keeping you from taking vacation and spending time with your family, then you are severely undervaluing your time off. You can think of time off as a sort of cost, but it's a very small cost compared to the value it provides.

I don't have experience with working for customers in different cultures and across international borders, so I'm afraid I don't have any insight there. If I was in that situation, I think it would still come down to negotiating the vacation that I need.

I also don't have much experience with juggling several (>2) projects at once. In my experience, people seldom need just a little software engineering. If someone wants some software engineering, they usually want a LOT of it and don't want to compete for your time with other projects. So I tend to work on one project at a time, take vacations, and when the gig comes to an end, I look forward to taking a few months off to study.

So I suppose if I was in your shoes, I would insist on vacation, and not worry too much if I lost a customer that wanted to burn me out. (I acknowledge that working in the software industry puts me in a rather privileged position where I can be picky.)
It's hard to judge without actually seeing an example of what it "should look like". If one thinks it should be long, then they should make a strong case for why this person deserves a longer-than-normal write-up. NYTimes typically goes by what they were in the news for, for good or bad, not give personal life stories or resumes, beyond quick summaries. They are a "news" service, after all.

If social-political controversies are brought up, then both sides would probably have to be addressed, which may not always come out flattering from a member's perspective. The church has been staunchly against LGBTQ rights/progress, and generally believe women should be home-makers. Thus the org would probably come out looking like religious troglodytes (from a centrist reader's perspective). It would open the red/blue Culture War Pandora's box. Thus, be careful what you wish for.

My guess is you're breathing with your chest and not your diaphragm.

When you take a deep breath, do you notice your chest expand or your belly? If it's the former, try keeping your chest still and letting your diaphragm/stomach expand instead.

Otherwise, you might just be thinking about it too much. Try to focus solely on the talking and ignore the breathing.
