Amd still has almost no server marketshare. This attack specifically leverages tsx, which is an Intel set of transactional extensions to the cpu microcode. Intel has since published microcode updates to enable you to disable tsx.
I agree this is likely a large contributing factor. I've done the whole networking thing a lot before and it's tremendously time consuming with very little to show for it. But I guess that's probably largely my fault in addition to probably going to the wrong sorts of networking opportunities
You are dealing with a lot, in a compressed period of time.

Try to remember that your first priority and responsibility is looking after your own mental, physical and spiritual (I don't mean this in a religious sense) well being.

In your situation, work really should be the lowest priority that you can afford to make it. If you can afford to take extended time off to deal with everything you need to, I would highly recommend that you give it serious consideration.

No problems with unbalancing?

When I was doing whole rebuilds of Debian, using e.g. 8 parallel builds of >18000 packages, it was creating and destroying a snapshot once every few seconds to minutes, at most 8 snapshots in existence at once. It got unbalanced and went write only every 36 hours. A clean brand new filesystem which never had more than 10% space utilisation and was typically around 1%.
That sounds reasonable to me. Again, not sure as to the regulations around that, if you're allowed to use a balloon that doesn't burst at any point or anything.

Also, realistic bursting altitude is closer to ~60,000ft for most balloons, just FYI.
My two cents: give yourself some time; try to take it easy on the job (even if you feel pressure to complete -- "force" yourself to take it easy) or find another job. It's incredible how a little time goes a long way in relieving many symptoms of distress. And then, add some enjoyable things in moderation to your routine, like a hobby, playing music, dancing, etc, to help divert worry from the job (and reward yourself with satisfying activities).

In this case AMD just doesn't support TSX instructions. For previous vulnerabilities with Meltdown I'd guess that AMD just didn't feel they had the engineering resources to do after the fact validation of memory access permissions without architecturally leaking data in some weird corner case. But then along comes Meltdown and it turns out that non-architectural leaks are a thing that can happen and if you try to do after the fact validation you can't prevent them.

It does, ask any shepherd, accountant, quartermaster, etc. It has a well defined meaning and use over the centuries which for hysterical reasons of economy it took on a second meaning equal to physical 1. Luckily it's the only case in computing where established meanings in base ten were changed to fit a base 2 world.

> Netflix is a single platform but arguably every piece of content is its own product.

That's the problem. As time goes on, all the really popular shows will have left Netflix (Friends, The Office, Frasier, Always Sunny, etc) and all that will be left are Netflix Originals.

The vast majority of those are not premium shows like The Crown, You and Stranger Things, but straight-to-DVD caliber bilge that will initially entice users because of the netflix branding, but turn them off once they realize it's low quality. You can't keep commissioning new programming forever while keeping the price at $12.99/mo. or whatever.
> I keep running into the same phenomenon everywhere; everyone thinks they know whether they've been infected or not.

I mean I get what you're saying. My point is that most viruses aren't trying to be hidden, so they're rather obvious. Of course there's a chance they try to be sneaky, and you're right you have no way of knowing if those are present and well hidden.

But anti-virus only does so much, if you're past Windows Defender you're past a bunch of other tools too. A lot of anti-malware software is very generic, and relies on some rather dumb techniques.
I was reading an article just the other day about Kobe talking about how he'd memorized the referees handbooks about where they were supposed to be on the floor for given player positions/times/etc, and how he would use that to be in the blind spots. (in fairness probably some level of exaggeration there, but given his stats and the way he got calls/no calls to go his way so much more often than not, there is something to it)

The man had an exceptional level of focus for his craft, and he paired that with natural talent and hard work to become a legend on the court.

“I made a point of reading the referee’s handbook. One of the rules I gleaned from it was that each referee has a designated slot where he is supposed to be on the floor. If the ball, for instance, is in place W, referees X, Y, and Z each have an area on the court assigned to them. ...When they do that, it creates dead zones, areas on the floor where they can’t see certain things. I learned where those zones were, and I took advantage of them. I would get away with holds, travels, and all sorts of minor violations simply because I took the time to understand the officials’ limitations.”
>My theory is that open space is extremely helpful to certain types of people, and those traits coincidentally overlap with the people calling the shots at a lot of companies. Sociable upper managerial-types probably value being able to collaborate more easily in open space more than being able to concentrate in private offices.

Yes, and in addition, sociable developers value being able to collaborate more easily in open space. I don't know what your coworkers are like or what age range they are, but over my career, I've absolutely seen that engineers in their 20s absolutely prefer open spaces, and are extremely sociable. I haven't seen this so much with older generations. The type of people entering this profession has really changed over the decades.

New Dilemmas for the Prisoner
I am not a therapist, so my opinion is not medical advice, but this what I would do: take a few vacations of 2-3 weeks each and travel on the continent; nothing fancy, just a disconnect. I have a few friends that I take for a very long bike ride, if you have anyone that can join you it's a great thing to do; the purpose is to disconnect, so the destination does not matter, just the activity. The second activity: get a bunch of books (non-technical), go to a cabin in the woods and read. I prefer science fiction or fiction, not poetry as most of the poetry has a depressing effect on me.

Don't do this for less than a full week, it has no significant effect.

If they had access to the undersea cable(s), that would certainly be different than having the ability to fiddle with (generally detectable and attributable) BGP attacks.

My money is on this being similar to the leaks of tapes where a bunch of high ranking Turkish military & members of the administration were discussing false-flag attacks from Syria to have a reason to invade, basically the US feeling they have exhausted their diplomatic channels to Ankara and dropping pieces of intel into the wild to get Turkey to stop what they are doing.
This is an obvious truism. Of course they appear to work correctly under ideal conditions.

The real question is how they behave under less than ideal conditions. It is these conditions where Btrfs has performed poorly, and where ZFS has performed very well. I lost several Btrfs filesystems due to its poorly-tested and broken error handling trashing the filesystem beyond recovery.

The selling point of both of these filesystems is their robustness, fault-tolerance and ability to self-heal. Only one of them actually delivers.

From Google's Site Reliability Engineering book[1]:

> SRE’s goal is no longer "zero outages"; rather, SREs and product developers aim to spend the error budget getting maximum feature velocity. This change makes all the difference. An outage is no longer a "bad" thing—it is an expected part of the process of innovation, and an occurrence that both development and SRE teams manage rather than fear.

I suspect Search has a lower error budget than Sheets.

Have you considered talking to your superior about working remotely? A good company might be willing to work with you.

With that said, I'd caution you that working remotely is not a panacea. While it can certainly be more convenient in some ways it doesn't mean your workload will be cut back, and you'll have to put more effort into communication. You might also want to consider asking work about is transitioning to part-time or reduced hours instead.
I mean, you gotta appeciate their efforts to make something so technical approachable by the general population, including gems like this in their Q&A: :-D:

What is an operating system?

An operating system (OS) is system software responsible for managing your computer hardware by abstracting it through a common interface, which can be used by the software running on top of it. Furthermore, the operating system decides how this hardware is shared by your software, and as such has access to all the data stored in your computer's memory. Thus, it is essential to isolate the operating system from the other programs running on the machine.
Whatever we did 30 years ago didn't allow multiple people to edit content simultaneously. In fact, even today, Office 365 can barely keep up with it.

That's definitely true, but even outside the US, that's not much money. Keep in mind they're counting revenue, and employees are more expensive than their salary (Even if your salary is 50k you can still cost 70k or more).
It's not that simple. Erdogan massively repressed his rivals, such as the parties representing the Kurdish part of the population and their sympathizers (HDP) and the whole Gülen movement, not to mention the young movement protesting in the Gezi Park a few years ago. So we cannot pretend that the elections held were fair and open, e.g. the results aren't representative of the entire population of Turkey.
Ethereum has been announcing "proof of stake" since before their original launch. Yet, years after their deadline and their second deadline and their third deadline... it still isn't there. Multiple hardforks to push back the logic bomb in their consensus rules that was originally supposed to guarantee its successful deployment... Now their target has been to create a new parallel cryptocurrency (eth2) and let you buy into it with your eth.

If your goal is a decentralized system POS is just a fundamentally broken idea, as was known years ago (and long before ethereum existed https://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/pos.pdf ). Ethereum isn't a decentralized system-- as demonstrated by them editing balances to recover coins the ETH administrators personally lost by gambling on an ill-advised contract-- but they have to keep up the pretext.

My problem with a lot of services listed below, is they all eventually go away, and all your data is off somewhere else. Unless you store your data locally in a human readable format (markdown) you are just putting all your data into a system that WILL go away at some point in the future.

Google has already had 2-3 services to manage your data that they have closed down. Maybe they are the ones that taught me not to trust your data with anything on the web.

Even something like Evernote is iffy, they seem like they are constantly on the verge of shutting down.

Although I do find it sad that that the human race as a whole puts so little value into this type of software, and so much value into sports and politics.

> Most the tasks that require heavy computation in R are done through C/C++/Fortran APIs - why can't D interface with them without the intermediate R layer?

You absolutely can do that, but it's generally not a fun experience. Most of the time the overhead of calling into R is trivial. In that case, take advantage of the convenience of R and get on to other things. There's also a lot of pure R code that you don't have any other way to call.
I'm not sure what else to put. When I need to know more about something, I go to the library's database site, select the appropriate database, and search for what I need to know about.

This is in-depth knowledge, as it requires reading and synthesizing journal articles, and understanding themes. This obviously doesn't work for quick questions like what is the square root of 6, but for more higher ordered concepts in my specific field, it's highly valuable.

Does that answer your question?
>I find the constant movement to be the biggest distraction over noise.

I find movement to be distracting as well (esp. if I'm sitting next to a high-traffic aisle as I was in one short-lived position). However, what's even worse for me is when several different conversations all start up at the same time, in the same space. Americans are already extremely loud talkers, but then stick a bunch of them together in one room, having 2-5 different conversations simultaneously, and I truly don't understand how anyone can take it, or even understand whichever conversation they're part of.

How to Lose Your Job No Matter How Talented You Are
Here's what I do, in a somewhat similar situation.

1. Control my thinking. Practicing the basics of cognitive behavioral therapy.

2. Fix my sleep. Going to bed at 10, waking up at six. Eight hours of sleep per day. This requires getting rid of anything that disturbs the circadian rhythm, screens and lights are big offenders. I use f.lux and ultra-warm lightbulbs in the evening.

3. Fix my diet (ties into sleep). Intermittent fasting for at least 16 hours. Avoiding the carb/sugar spikes. I also went Keto for a while. I must advise against veganism.

4. Get exercise (also ties into sleep). Exercise is as potent as common antidepressants with none of the side-effects. A little goes a long way.

5. For work, a four-day work week and a short commute made a big difference.

I don't know if any of these can be left out. I couldn't fix my sleep on its own, without doing the other things. You may think that it's your anxiety keeping you from sleep, but it could actually be your eating and/or the lights keeping sleep hormones away so that you end up awake in bed, thinking. Then if you don't get good sleep, everything else just gets worse.

I feel perfectly stable now. Not fantastic, but stable. It's a process, took me about two months.
I would specifically advise against developing a tech related hobby. In my experience, it just accelerates burn out. Something that forces you to be outside/unplugged is ideal imo.
