Hi young man, this is not burnout. You seem to have reached the point where your outer ideas of life no longer serve the organic inner ideas of life per se, and so you have been creating all sort of pain around yourself in order to notice that the conflict you've created can no longer be maintained.

Go back some years to where you last re-wrote your self-definition and take out anything that's not real. This kind of struggle is one where you are going to have to extricate yourself from your thoughts and ideas, otherwise known as illusions, about life, and become an actual self-reliant/psychological adult .. which is supposed to happen at this stage/age.

If you can manage to keep your work connection as a means of everyday grounding, by all means do that while you mourn the end of childhood.

Anyhow, you wrote in the comments: Now that it's done, I feel like I can relax a bit and also accept that things can go poorly and it doesn't have to be devastating.

And that's the truth. I would underline it. Remember it while your emotions suggest that you should feel like shit. Then it will pass. Its not fair, its not easy, but adulthood is worth it.
It will actually be staked currency, not outstanding, and it's more than 51% because Eth2 is sharded (64 shards at the moment) and randomly selects committees to verify blocks, so you'd need to hold enough validators (each holding 32 ETH) to guarantee a majority in a randomly selected committee for a block.

And the Eth2 genesis won't occur until a sufficiently large amount of validators are active on the beacon chain, so you can't hijack it by investing large early.

There are roads in our county in New Jersey that have been transitioned from paved back to gravel, presumably based on usage and the anticipated savings from maintaining gravel over asphalt. I'm not a civil engineer and I don't know what all the tradeoffs are, but it seems to me that we're either going to have to admit we can't afford so much paving, or we're going to have to agree to pay higher taxes.
The third world has a lot more miles of dirt roads than paved roads. The slightly more expencive gravel roads are fine for suburban cul-de-sac‘a / side streets that don’t get that much traffic.
Concrete is pretty much the only alternative that can handle 40+ tonnes trucks and be cost effective. It will last longer, but it's more expensive to build - could be cheaper on the long run. You get a bit more tire noise and less traction than on the asphalt.

> Problem is, after more than a decade I find myself constantly tired and unmotivated for anything. I fear that burnout is starting again...

That statement relates to a feeling I have about burnout - I don't believe you fully recover from it. At least in my experience, while I (and others I've discussed this with) recovered by some point, I also felt something was left permanently weakened, in a way that made me increasingly susceptible to later bouts I'd experience.

There are probably normal factors that contribute to that, such as how much we age between bouts. However, after each bout, I recall not feeling the same after recovering as I did prior to when the bout started.
Their value proposition is basically that you can get to market with a costum chip cheaper then with anybody. They argue that their chips are lower energy then use less space. They are more configurable, and the RISC-V tooling is build around this as well.

They do seem to quite a few costumers but their current growth is VC funded.

There is nice stuff coming down the pipe as well, the RISC-V Vector extension and hopefully finally some linux boards. RISC-V SoC with FPGA is going to be a product. But hardware product cycles are just long and a takes a while.
You're 100% correct; ext4 reserves this for a different purpose. I'm just saying it's not a entirely novel idea (albeit for a different reason).

This is interesting, but how does it work? By leveraging a STUN/TURN server? Can we connect on port 22?

Actually, there is this link in the subtitle (and in the readme, but only mentions "getting started", now "how does this work"): https://shellhub-io.github.io/ this should probably be the story link.

So, short answer to my question (though I had to read https://github.com/shellhub-io/shellhub/commit/fb0ebf10b1270... to understand it, the website wasn't enough):

* You host a TURN-like server somewhere

* You locally host an ssh server (see the above commit: using docker)

* When you ssh to the local server, the TURN server is contacted, and performs the handshake; your local server proxies to the remote one on the right port

This is an interesting proof-of-concept, but:

* I wish people would deploy ipv6 without (or with minimal) firewalls instead

* As with all TURN, doesn't work with symmetrical NATs

* This is a bit overkill. If I could ssh into the TURN server and have it reply with the right ssh command, it would work as well (need to be quick)

Given the above, this could be built into ssh: specify a TURN server (or plain ssh host) to negociate a port and have the client & server perform the handover.

The way I do NAT traversal usually is to setup a reverse tunnel between the target sshd and another server (initiated by the target host), which I then proxy/jump on with `-p`. Obviously this uses some of the server's bandwidth, hence my proposed offer to add something like TURN negotiation on the server. The intermediate server doesn't even need to be aware of this, if you can execute arbitrary commands.

I wish more applications were compatible with something like this. The Internet really is broken if we have to jump trough these hoops to get any p2p going. There might be a way to do it in a way that's transparent to the application, but we might need a new TCP for this. I wonder if Yggdrasil or GNUnet offer to solve that kind of issues over the current TCP network (making a VPN of sorts between the computers, but not firewalled/NATed).

>And laptops have been the norm. It's a little different when you were accustomed to go back to your dorm room where you had your desktop setup to get anything done.

This isn't quite right: before having your desktop computer in your dorm room was normal, you had to go to a computer lab to get anything done, and those had no privacy whatsoever. Computer labs with PCs were quite common until colleges started requiring students to buy their own PCs, and before this, the computer labs had terminals (like VT100) which connected to VAX servers or mainframes.

Anyone who went to college up until the mid-1990s should be familiar with computer labs.
I think I'll likely end up the same as you. I also enjoy road cycling so I think I will probably just sell the mtb and go full time road. A bit sad but the other benefits I expect to see will make it worth it.
>I don’t know how possible or plausible that is. I’m in the process of figuring that out.

Totally plausible. I wouldn't walk into work tomorrow and quit your job, but let's face it: you have experience in one of the most in-demand skills on the planet. I'd bet you wouldn't have an issue finding another job. The problem is: would another job solve your issue? It might not.

As others have said, what you need is time. I'm not sure in what way your medical leave was covered the first time, but as a fellow Canadian, our country is extremely generous in that manner (and progressive with respect to mental health). You might be able to take an extended medical leave that would allow you to draw EI. If you can survive on the $500/week the benefit pays, it might be worth it.

Good luck!
Yes, there's a discontinuity between the positive and negative numbers, that was part of the argument. Another part was that certain mathematical formulas get simpler when x/0 = 0.
If most people are unable to do it right, the act is too difficult. Saying "it works fine if everyone does as they should" just ignores that people don't usually do as they "should" and is not very useful.

> Hand him over or else we flick a switch here and the power grid in your city X goes down and there's nothing you can do about it.

The issue in your scenario is not who built the infrastructure, but who has remote access to it. Why would the manufacturer of (for instance) the PLCs controlling a substation have remote access to it? Wouldn't they be isolated in their own subnetwork, firewalled so that only a few hosts in the substation operator's network can reach it?

As tired as this cliche is, I have to ask if you workout.

I found that lifting or intense cardio helps me move out of my funks.

When I'm suffering through an intense workout I don't think about anything else. When I finish the workout, I can be so exhausted that I pass out and go to sleep. that in itself is a blessing.

Lastly, so much of stress is self-imposed. You are where you are, and whatever plans you have, are determined by you.

Be safe. Good luck.

Funny how the design of that article borders on typical insane unreadable looks of conspiracy theory sites.
Well, there is a problem becoming evident with any further "we'll take action once the situation proves itself so bad that action is unambiguously necessary".

That problem is that human civilization is becoming less rational in response to the stresses of the situation.

The degree to which a country or the entire world has ever able to act "selflessly" or broadly altruistically has always been limited but some things have happened - banning Ozone destroying chemicals was an action. Wars have shown change (negative change but change) can happen quickly if a society needs it. I don't think there's a fundamental technological barrier to forcing a lessening of green house gas production. Rather, it's a loss of capital investment barrier. The forces arrayed to prevent oil assets from losing value are huge. Maybe a fund could just buy these assets and let them wind-down or maybe we're all doomed or maybe there's another escape.

I'm not sure but I think pushing for quick, not slow action, is appropriate, whatever one think is realist (the end of the human race looks realistic, certainly but I don't see a reason to simply accept it).

The shortest route is going through the US south of the Lake Michigan, but this still doesn't explain how they ended up in Southeast Manitoba, and especially off of Highway 12.

Also important to know that Google Maps sometimes draws roads where there aren't actual roads - there are trails that are marked like they are roads in a few places that I know about and I've attempted to get Google to correct them because a) it's private property and b) it's not safe to travel there in the winter.

I remember being told that 5G wasn't about speed, it was about bandwith and every car would be transmitting 40Gigs an hour because of all the autonomous vehicles. That was the bullish picture.

If they had some spare SSD capacity lying around they could have done a linear copy of the HDD to SSD and then done the import, that could have sped up the random-access scans.
Remember in this comparison that a metro line has significantly higher capacity than an average road, and the metro cost includes the vehicles, fuel and drivers. Also, the uncosted externalities (CO₂, air pollution, accidents, noise) are significantly lower for the metro.

The article is on point. 5G has an advantage in only a few situations:

- Very crowded areas, where you need lots of microcells so everyone can watch streaming video at once. Like stadiums. Verizon is making a lot of noise about 5G in NFL stadiums. Amusingly, latency for sports video is a big deal, because, in sports bars, not all the screens have the same amount of buffering in the path. So some people are cheering while others are waiting for their feed to catch up, and they feel left out and alone.

- Moderately remote areas where the capability to drop to the VHF bands will provide some service far from towers. That's actually useful.

Claims involving public safety and remote surgery are fantasy.

Besides, once it's going, it will probably be overloaded, and there will be rate caps and data caps. But the capped service will be called "unlimited".
What does then?
> any proof of its claims of "chemical imbalance",

Can you find me any psychiatrist that's pushing the chemical imbalance theory? Every single doctor I know thinks chemical imbalance is bunk.
I think of this as I drive 30ish miles each way to work. 5 miles of surface roads, 19 miles of interstate (2 lanes each way), and 6 miles of surface (2 lanes each way). One cause for increased construction is the need for more capacity. My frequent lament is poor driving habits. We have regular instances of sub-optimal speeds in both lanes. A 65 mph limit and vehicles driving 55mph in both lanes, frequently with 1/4 of open lane ahead. Vehicles behind begin to crowd and we experience the slinky effect. After 3 years we add another lane. And the cycle continues. Driver education used to emphasize keeping right except to pass. I think this isn't taught anymore.
Can you bring your work down to 4 or 3 days? For like the whole year? Going back to 32 hours will give a lot of space, to sleep, to do other stuff. If the company supports this, that would be great.

Daily chores, cooking, cleaning: do what is practical and what you can handle! Order food if you cannot bring yourself to cook. Don't worry too much about cleaning, but make sure pests stay away. When you go out for work or whatever, make sure you are presentable, properly clothed and clean. Get a hair cut on a regular basis. Shave. Having a house that is spic and span is no priority. On the other hand, cleaning the house is a way to clear your mind. Walking, fitness, biking, swimming - all the are good to clear your head and remove the ongoing thoughts for an hour or so. This works better in a workshop with an instructor, like a tennis or dance lesson.
>> "A proper database would have a 'billing address is same as delivery address logic"

> The database does not have logic like this.

Of course it wouldn't have 'logic', databases are just stores of data.

You'd have one 'address' table, with probably a int-primary/surrogate key. Then the 'delivery' and 'billing' address would be an int, pointing to the address table.

Furthermore, the billing and delivery address would be foreign keys, so the internal database logic would keep the tables in sync with no application code required.

With the data organized in this manner, the application code becomes logic free and braindead easy to write. Or at least, corner cases become easier to handle and more explicit. (Say two customers share the same address, do you allow repeats in the address table? Or do you allow customers to tie address information together? Either way, your decision rests on how you define the primary key)

> When I have application server all such logic (if applicable) is handled by code in much more performant way.

The most performant way is no logic at all. A proper database removes a lot of checks, the storage format itself naturally creates logic free code.

Some application logic is necessary of course. But you can minimize the logic needed by thinking about data layout.
> Don't you mean we want "(a/b) + (a%b) = a"?

> gold has a much better case than cryptocurrencies at having a so-called intrinsic value.

The point is that the intrinsic value doesn't come anywhere close to explaining the price in either case.

And what about cash? That also doesn't need intrinsic value to be worth something.

> On the cryptocurrency side there are literally thousands of active offerings, and the barrier to entry to create one or a hundred more is negligible.

I don't see why the scarcity of one cryptocoin affects the value of the others. Creating a new coin doesn't devalue existing coins.

I've done PCI/DSS consulting. For the biggest provider of online loan servicing, in fact. Over 80% of all online loans are processed through their system, mostly done as a white-label service for virtually every big bank, credit union, or other financial services provider in existence.

The reality of PCI/DSS is a bit more ... complex.

What it really comes down to is whatever your auditor says you have to do in order to meet the requirements. And history has already taught us that if your auditor is one of the Big Accounting firms, then they can be ... flexible ... if you're a big enough customer.

So, there's the letter of the law, and then there's what you actually have to implement in your code. And the two may have relatively little to do with each other.

Just make sure that you document everything you do within an inch of your life and the life of the code in question, so that when there is a breach (and there WILL be a breach), you're not the one that is being left out in the cold.
