Ask HN: Body Fatigue After Burnout
At the start of the corona pandemic (almost 1.5 year ago now) I burned out. Hard. It was like a meltdown event and I quit my SWE position. I thought then that I was in a good place to get back on track. I have a solid and supportive family, besides the burnout a strong, healthy body and due to an early windfall enough money to take as long as needed to rebuild.

But now it has been 1.5 year and my body still feel almost as destroyed as it did in the start. I have consulted multiple doctors and they can't find anything wrong with me. Not even a slight vitamin deficiency. They told me that at my age (29) I should still be able to recover fairly quickly from a stress burnout. My mind is in the best place since my pre-teens after a long bout of therapy. But my body seems like it won't recover. I've tried all the "lifehacks" with supplements and improving sleep quality etc. and the improvements always fall somewhere between marginal and non-existent.

Have any of you experienced something similar or have any thoughts on where I should go from here? It feels way too early to just retire into the countryside. I really want to get back on track and have a few more decades in software (which I still have a deep love for)

I contracted for US government agencies for a long time. At every single job the contractors were doing the "work" (they had the knowledge) and the government employees were acting as managers. I have not met a government employee with an unusually high level of technical skill (though obviously many do exist). As far as I can tell (and I worked over a decade in this environment, in many countries) government employees exist to attend meetings and task contractors.

Yea react is lindy in terms of stability (for us). There's esbuild now which is high performant alternative to webpack babel snowpack rollup, try it out folks.
I've very curious what you consider to be "modern designs". The only important ISAs designed in the 21st century are ARMv8 and RISC-V.

Both use LL/SC (called Load-Exclusive/Store-Exclusive in ARM).

RISC-V from the outset also specified Atomic Memory Operations such as AMOADD, AMOMIN, AMOMAX, AMOOR, AMOAND, AMOXOR. Implementations are permitted to trap the AMOs and implement them using LL/SC if they wish. (The reverse isn't feasible). ARM added similar operations (and CAS, CASP) only in FEAT_LSE (Large Systems Extensions) in ARMv8.1-A, and only in A64.

I don't know what IA64 did, but it's dead anyway, so who cares?.

The next newest important ISA is POWER/PowerPC, which uses LL/SC.

In fact it can and, except for a couple of minimal Cortex-M0 competitors, all RISC-V SoCs I know of, right back to the now ancient FE-310 and FU-540, have return address prediction which works very effectively and does not use resources in the indirect branch predictor.

> Condition codes were momentarily a problem for out-of-order execution

That's one opinion. Another opinion, which both Intel and ARM seem to share, is that "compare and branch" should have been one instruction, and both of their recent designs fuse a compare and a following conditional branch into a single uOp.

Using the same condition code result to control multiple branches is a rare thing, not worth optimising for.

The really amusing thing here is that I'm pretty sure you criticise RISC-V ideas to implement "missing" instructions or addressing modes using fusing of simpler instructions.

> Faithful readers here know about my horror that popcount is missing from the core instruction set

Neither the ARMv8 integer instruction set nor NEON have popcount.

ARM SVE and RISC-V V both have popcount on execution masks (only)

> code generators can't count on having it available for its 10x performance boost of remarkably common operations.

Single-cycle popcount is very very expensive. Recent Intel CPUs have a 3 cycle latency for popcount.

You can do a popcount using simple operations ... shift, and, add ... in 17 instructions, or 12 instructions including one multiply. On a superscalar machine with the typical 4 cycle latency for multiply, that version has a total latency of 14 clock cycles.

The built in POPCNT instruction is therefore only 14/3 = 4.7 times faster than the sequence of simple instructions. A similar ratio applies to throughput if you are doing several in parallel.

There is no way that any actual algorithm with popcount as a component has that 4.7:1 ratio. There will be other instructions. The ratio will be lower.

10x is simply impossible.

I'm curious what you think these remarkably common operations are.

I believe government is inherently corrupt and can not be fixed. As you consolidate power and authority into a central structure it by nature attracts unscrupulous people that wish to dominate others with that power

The only way to resolve the problem of corruption is distribute and limit the power /authority any group of people has, instead we have slowly over the course of time vested more and more power into a ever growing federal government that continues to become more and more corrupt.

Power corrupts, Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely.

The US Federal government was designed to be very Limited and subservient to the people and the States. Over the last 230 years we in the US have lost sight of that, and instead many now believe the government is our sovereign, is the ruler, is the source of our rights, etc. We have lost sight that we are suppose to be self governing, and that our rights are natural not granted by government.

In my view the government that governs the least governs the best, and giving control over my health to said government transform the relationship between citizen and government in a ways irreparably harm the principle of self governance, and individual liberty.
A growing percentage of lost Bitcoin is not necessarily a problem. Even when 99.9% of Bitcoin is lost, there will be 21 Million milliBitcoin remaining. One issue might be that a mBTC only divides into 10^5 satoshi, but changing the rules to further subdivide the smallest unit, e.g. into millisatoshi, should be straightforward, and restores the original model.

Yeah, but replacing it with something better needs a lot of capital-intensive work to be done first.

How to Disappear Completely from the Internet?

Most people prefer working fulltime and sleeping in a home over not working and sleeping in a tent like the hunter gatherers did. The hunter gatherers just didn't have an option to work harder and get a stable home, since the nature of hunter gathering requires you to move around.

Then as people settled down and became farmers they also gained the opportunity to improve their lives by working hard, and at that point they started working way more hours. It makes sense.

It's more infeasible because it's massively more complicated. Occam's Razor.

Just because they're two unprecedented scenarios doesn't mean they're equally simple explanations.

Not only do you need the complicity of Bin Laden and his associates, you also need the complicity of many people within the US and you need them all to shut up about it and you need Bin Laden and his associates to lie about what really happened and you need to hide any trace of this from investigators. This is massively more complicated than the banal explanation that the small group of people who say they did it, actually did it.

As a Sysadmin who has spent a lot of time engineering systems to do specific tasks, I will tell you that there is a lot of effort that goes into your "production" database. Some of the tasks are not going to magically go away just because you use a managed cloud service for database - securing access to your database, monitoring basic metrics such as CPU, disk usage etc, making sure your data is backed up and tested for recovery. However, if you decide to self-host your production database, you've got more work such as

1. Keeping your database software up-to-date. Applying security patches without a huge downtime.

2. Managing the installation so that it is operating correctly - it's Systemd init files are okay and that it will come back to life should the server restart, logs are being stored correctly at an appropriate disk partition and that they don't fill up your data directory,

3. OS configuration aligns with your and your database software's needs. Which sysenvs did you set? were they changed as part of your OS updates?

All of the above are worth it in many cases. Spending a few days optimising the installation for your workload can make a huge difference and also empower you to use custom extensions like Timescale which is not so easy to do in some managed database services. Also, cost savings because you take that effort on yourself.
Federal government deficit=private sector surplus. The money is conserved. Federal surplus=private sector surplus. People who want to balance the federal budget either don’t know what they are talking about, or are cynically trying to redistribute money to the wealthy.
Previously significant, geographical constraints matter less in today’s globally connected world. Arguably, becoming more important in relative terms are mindset, creative and strategic thinking, willingness to work both smart and hard—and those would be in abundance.

> Any warning signs about potential problems that could potentially endanger human lives get ignored to save costs.

That's not always true. There are industries where the the consequences for ignoring warnings are too great and any warning sign in a specific class is a must-handle-as-emergency event (either by law or by liability concerns), such as a commercial pilot showing up for work with even the tiniest signs of intoxication, or a student casually mentioning to a teacher or therapist (mandated reporters) things that could indicate abuse.

Bartenders, however, mostly won't go to jail for serving a drink that made someone drunk enough to kill someone with their car minutes later, however. There are certainly gaps.
There's also a large, and probably growing number of open source projects hosting documentation on Netlify/Vercel. Somebody's definitely going to use it, and if it has enough other advantages, people will notice and migrate. And GitHub might one day support path-based SPAs, it's old news at this point. I still remember GitHub Pages being an https holdout for many years.

If these proceeding had anything to do with justice, Assange wouldn't be in prison in the first place. This is plain political procecution with lawfare.

If law isn't a transformation of justice, it doesn't serve much purpose. And it didn't in the case of procecuting Assange. It is fundamentally unjust and an indictment of western rule of law.

That saidl, you are correct that it isn't the reason why he is in prison now.
