It seems to me you have accomplished quite a bit.

From your description you enjoy a level of success that many fail to achieve: a successful startup with an exit before college, completed college, and an executive level position ("at work as a VP").

I found this description of anxiety by Tim Keller (who borrows from Rollo May) very useful:

“Healthy fear is specific and constructive. It sparks physical energy and mental clarity. It enables you to summon your deepest capacities to protect something that you value that is threatened. Fear is specific and constructive

Anxiety is diffuse. Where fear galvanizes you into action, anxiety debilitates you and paralyzes you so that you are unable to make a decision or act.

Fear is a thunderstorm that passes back into sunlight and green grass. Anxiety is a cold drizzle, it’s 34 degrees and raining all the time so that your soul starts to mildew.

Anxiety is a threat to your sense of self, when your identity and sense of security are eaten away. It’s deeper and more destructive."

What if you take the next 18 months and make a solid contribution at work, help your people develop, and focus on making and meeting your commitments by keeping them small. Don't plan for home runs or large scale-ups. Think base hits and reliable performance.

If "by any measure I am living the American dream" you should enjoy it. Zoom in for traction ("small predictable steps") and enjoy the ride. You can pick a date in late 2022 to start making a few medium size plans and see if you can get better at making and meeting commitments.

I posted some explanation as a reply to AmericanChopper below that I think is a good summary of my take on this
I grew up in the Ottawa area. I remember watching so many friends' and classmates' parents suddenly go from successful to unemployed. What's worse, their pension plan was mostly invested in Nortel stock. They lost their jobs and their retirement. Most of these people were in their late 40s already.

There weren't other companies to hire them all. Ottawa's tech scene was mostly Nortel. Without it, what could they all do with the skillsets they had? One close friend of mine, his dad became a cabinet maker. Just started over entirely.

Was it Huawei? Hard to say. But whoever hacked Nortel attacked my community, in my mind.
> All other viruses from animals were found very soon after an outbreak.

You assertion is still wrong. It took about 4 years to nail down MERS as coming from camels, and the link from bats to camels to people is still fuzzy. There are several hemorrhagic fever causing viruses believed to come from animals, but with. no known source. We still don't know where Ebola comes from.

People have been looking for the animal reservoir for Ebola for decades, and we haven't found it yet.

A lab leak could be the source for COVID-19, but the lack of an animal source so far isn't evidence of that. It's precisely a lack of evidence.
I disagree. They took a bunch of time to compress the story and characters into that size. It was a triumph. Not close to “reasonable”

Yea, many Canadian mutual funds were heavily invested in Nortel. I remember family members saying they lost a good chunk of their investments when Nortel went belly up.
That specific formalism is only specific to McCarthy's implementation though, not even CL counts, as it greatly expands and derives beyond it.

Even McCarthy's lisp had iterations of itself.

Personally, I think the second paper actually points to the essential component for me:

> LISP data are symbolic expressions that can be either atoms or lists. Atoms are strings of letters and digits and other characters not otherwise used in LISP. A list consists of a left parenthesis followed by zero or more atoms or lists separated by spaces and ending with a right parenthesis. The LISP programming language is defined by rules
whereby certain LISP expressions have other LISP expressions as
values.

I would use that to generalize to a family of languages like so:

"""
A Lisp language consists of:

1) Some data representation which are symbolic expressions that can be either atoms or lists. Atoms are strings of letters and digits and other characters not otherwise used in the given Lisp language. A list consists of a starting character (commonly left parentheses) followed by zero or more atoms or lists separated by seperator characters (commonly spaces) and ending with a terminating character (commonly right parenthesis).

2) A programming language whose code uses that data representation and is defined by rules
whereby certain Lisp expressions have other Lisp expressions as
values.
"""

Personally I think that's the key aspect, the characteristics of what those rules are, and what the chosen characters are is what creates the family of language, they are the parameters you're allowed to change and must change for it to be a dialect and not just an alternate implementation of the same language.
That offset tax money would be better off spent into electric car research. If the rich want to keep their Ferraris, they can fund the research to make it abiding to the law. This would also preserve jobs if they ever cared.

Allowing the 0.1% richest people to be above the law, because in the grand scale of things it's insignificant, seems outrageous for the average abiding citizen who have no choice. The rich would then always have an exception for all the sacrifices and cuts society has to do to preserve new generations.

If a law is needed to save humankind, don't make exceptions to it purely based on capital of people, unless it's to help those in disadvantage.

First problem in Linux desktop OS: you download a flatpak, or other file, click it, and "no application found" or it opens in a text editor. On a GUI OS, if a user has to go to the command line your design is wrong.

I chose popos, because the second I wanted discord or Spotify on fedora I had to go through a whole page of commands to do it, and it didn't quite run correctly.

When I installed some GUI apps on fedora, they wouldn't show up on the start menu. Had to manually add them, via command line.

Another is media thumbnails. Include ffmpegthumbmailer by default. Don't make me command line basic functionality.

> Yet repeated attempts by authorities to spread calm and urge against panic buying have had the opposite effect.

I think it's the government... but a reasonably functional supply chain won't let this happen. Most people do not panic by news; but they'll panic buy when they find out that some stations have run out of fuel.
Meditate. Spend time doing nothing but breathing. Feel your breath as it enters and leaves your nostrils. Every time you catch yourself thinking about anything except for your breath entering and leaving your nostrils congratulate yourself for being mindful enough to catch that you've wandered and then return your thoughts back to your breathe. At first this will be hard to do for more than a couple of minutes. With time you can do it longer and longer.
Then, when you start to feel anxiety rise up, stop. Breathe. Forget about the future forget about the projects forget about the expectations and the pressures you've placed on yourself. Just stop. And breathe.
Focusing your mind intentionally on something will activate your prefrontal cortex which is responsible for logic and reasoning, and quiet your amygdala which is the fight or flight part of your brain. Chronic anxiety causes your amygdala to overactivate and meditation can help reverse that damage. Modern neuroscience backs this all up more and more. It won't feel like you are doing anything at first. But over time you will notice the effects.

Also, like others have said. You don't NEED to do a venture to be successful. I don't. I am the exact opposite of the person who does that, and I am more successful than I could have ever hoped growing up. Many ways to find success in life.

> despite nothing in this article being “big tech’s” doing

Of course it is their doing. Why are they even storing messages and metadata to begin with? Why are they exposing us to this risk? There should be nothing there for any government to find. In an ideal world they'd be connecting us to each other peer-to-peer so that our encrypted communications don't even touch their servers.

Bit Tech's insatiable hunger for personal data is a massive liability for all of us. Their guilt is not to be excused. Governments would have nothing if not for their extensive non-consensual data collection.
> a fast touch typer will hate this keyboard

Interesting. On this site, I see nothing but complaints about the Macbook short travel keyboards. I have not used one for more than a few minutes, but I am a fast touch typist and I like the greater travel with my XPS keyboard. It's a whole lot better feeling than the 2014 MBP I have compared it with; the latter has more travel than newer Macbooks but has a mushy, foam-like feel to its switches rather than the firmer, actuator-like feel that I'm used to with the XPS.

> last time I checked (years ago), Linux was abhorrent when it came to trackpad support.

This depends a lot on the features you're expecting, and also whether you have a touchpad that's compatible with good drivers or not. For a long time the multi-touch story on Linux wasn't great, so users coming from Macs and expecting to use 3, 4 or 5 finger gestures were inevitably disappointed. I find myself not really using these gestures, even when I use a Mac (I bind keyboard shortcuts to my most used functions with Karabiner instead), so it doesn't matter much to me.

Rather, I'm comparing the behavior of a certain class of low quality touchpad that you find in cheap laptops. In Windows, I've seen these touchpads jerk around, not really detect your finger properly, have weird acceleration ramps, and have bad palm rejection - seemingly issues with the touchpad itself, yet become vastly improved when switching the laptop over to Linux, provided that you could use the synaptics driver.

Stuff like trackpad scrolling speed has of course always been configurable system wide on Linux, along with many other features. It's even available in the libinput driver, which (unfortunately) got rid of most of the "knobs" for touchpads.

Was told by someone in the UK trucking industry this is mindless panic as some people have moved from HGV fuel trucks to regular as the salaries on regular trucking caught up with fuel trucks (and fuel trucks are far more dangerous so people just jumped ship).

One particular agency that has a big market share in the industry seems to be the issue (he said). Seems like they lost tons of drivers and havent raised salaries to meet lowered interest from truckers who can now make the same money from not carrying what’s effectively a mobile bomb.
Perhaps, if said author is able to produce the whole book such that it can be copyrighted, find a way to publish it independently, and defend their copyright if a publisher likes the idea and gets something similar enough to not quite be considered the same thing ghostwritten. This may occasionally be feasible, although it does require considerable capital or the help of someone else who has it. At the end of the day, right now getting a good deal out of IP still requires finding someone to work with you that you can trust, or having a lot of money to start out with

I think Tesla is definitely going to end up killing more people with their software, but it probably ends up being a rounding error in the big scheme of things. People driving themselves home after a few too many beers are killing more people than driving AIs, and I honestly expect it to stay that way even with Tesla's reckless approach.

> I guess you could say they are intolerant of all religions

Yes, intolerant. But also hypocritical (see the Macron's hypocrisy of free speech).

> which puts everyone on an equal footing

It does not. Some religions mandate certain attire. And certain religions / atheism does not. So, it is not fair for a student to be denied practicing his/her religion, if his/her religion mandates the head scarf. While an atheist has no worry, since he/she has not religous command to wear a certain attire.

> Schools are places where you learn, not practice religion

Who is any person or government to dictate this to me? If I want to voluntarily do something peaceful, I should be able to. What's next, "homes are for living, not religion".

How is this relevant to this thread?

A commenter incorrectly assumed that a technical blog must, of course, be written by a guy. This was pointed out. Whether the word 'dude' is gender neutral or not is not helping.
Forgive me, but I don't understand the distinction here. I tried build software that cost money to run, and I had a horde of people telling me its not open source but rather "source available" because the license specified that a 20% fee needed to be paid.

I don't know of any license that is widely accepted as FOSS which also requires that the developer get paid when the software is used.

This is becoming pointless when you are saying things like this:

> It is the status quo on GNOME.

This is your problem, and GNOME's too: GNOME doesn't own the Linux desktop. The status quo on GNOME should not drive protocol standards that impact the entire Linux desktop ecosystem. The protocol standards should be driven by the needs of the larger ecosystem. I'm not saying the needs of GNOME are unimportant. They are just not the end of what needs to be considered when developing this kind of thing.

This point here is more important than this entire argument about CSD. The rest can be discarded. Why should GNOME's fairly isolated status quo be the burden of every application or app toolkit developer? The inverse is a burden on the compositor. There are far more apps and app developers, and even toolkits, than there will ever be Wayland compositors.

> It works fine. Why would it be a problem? It's not different from adding any other library dependency to a flatpak.

Because you will get a vendored copy of libdecor. In a runtime like the Steam runtime, you might wind up attempting to load a version of libdecor linked against an incompatible libc if you try to use the system version. This is not a problem that would occur if a protocol were used instead.

> This isn't true, and it also has the potential to create other problems. What you are missing is that the protocol doesn't really matter, what matters is having a good experience for the user.

libdecor also has the potential to create other problems. This is just pointing out that software is hard. Yes, I get that.

If GNOME cared about what experience was good for the user, they would have cared about the fact that the Wayland compositor they shipped into production runs many games with missing window borders because of their own initiatives and sway within the Wayland ecosystem. The user experience in GNOME is genuinely worse due to this strange insistence on moving a problem from one location to another.

> I don't agree with this either, the complexity and ugliness has moved to libdecor which gets used by the toolkit. App developers don't have to bother with the details, they just use a toolkit.

Not every application needs a UI toolkit. There are also a lot of UI toolkits. Now many of them struggle with the fairly unimpressive task of displaying a window with reasonable looking borders. That's not a good user experience, and it's certainly not a good developer experience.

I really do have a lot of opinions regarding what you are saying, but I'm honestly running out of steam on replying to each point blow-for-blow because it feels like I already expressed my point and the reply is just what I said but inverted.
Yet with most supply chains utilizing lean strategies, you'd think they could respond quicker to the sudden increases or decreases in demand.

Somethings not right here.
> It would more likely be something rolled out by the agency itself.

I don't know police agencies well at all, but I suspect that if a local police force was deciding between "use the state system" and "use some frontend we built ourselves or needed to license ourselves and has no reason to have any tech support", they are going to choose "use the state system".

Or heck, just use a federal system.
