You may have a circadian rhythm disorder, e.g., delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD) [1]. It is rare in the general population (<1%) but my intuition is that software engineers are overrepresented. Irrespective of whether you do, there are likely concomitant behavioral issues that are exacerbating the issue.

I struggled with sleep for years. I had difficulty falling asleep before 2am or so, difficulty getting out of bed, and any multi-day period without obligations (e.g. holiday) inevitably resulted in my bedtime shifting by an hour or more each consecutive night. Tried everything. Described symptoms to several somnologists, primary care doctors, psychiatrist, psychologist, etc. Last couple of years I saw improvement. What helped was:

- 0.5mg melatonin 7 hours before bedtime [2] [3]

- Do a CBT-I program with a psychologist

---

Taking melatonin near bedtime did absolutely nothing for me. Taking melatonin at 5pm was magic. Symptoms that had persisted for years evaporated within two weeks.

CBT-I is very effective for behavioral issues but it's not magic. It is expensive and take a lot of time and effort. Don't use a self-directed app or book. Find a psychologist who specializes in CBT-I. Insurance may not cover it. It will require a couple of months of effort and cost $2,000 or so. It is worth every penny.

Everyone knows that light can affect your circadian rhythm, but body temperature can as well. Cold = sleep, warmth = wake. Consider investing in something that can increase temperature in the AM. Might be as simple as a space heater on a timed outlet. Might be as sophisticated as an Eight Sleep mattress.

This is one of the problems with the mainstream obsession about climate change.

The environmental destruction wrought by gigantic, inhumanely scaled monocrop farming is direct, immediate, obvious, and worthy of huge mobilization to resolve.

Instead, we hear, as you say here, that if the carbon emissions are low, it's Great For The Environment!

Maybe they're bounded by some clear context like class or module which serves specific set of tasks? Writing in well designed context MyPartOfSystem things like MyPartOfSystemUpdateData is another smellish side of naming I think. Or writing just long names that are used only in very short context (ex. variable "drivingLicenseCard" instead of "e", "entry" in "drivingLicenseCards.every((drivingLicenseCard) => drivingLicenseCard && checkSomehow(drivingLicenseCard))").

If they're not bound, then we have another source of spaghetti monster.

Compared to a fast food burger I it's no worse than the meat they use for those burgers. Compared to a burger from a high quality burger joint it's not close.

For dishes where you're already using lower quality ground meat as 'bulk' I can absolutely see it competing. The main problem is that it still costs a fair bit more than the low end meat it has a reasonable chance of replacing. Once it gets to a price point where McDonalds can sell their Impossible Big Mac for $1 cheaper than their meat Big Mac, then I think things will really start to change.
Why are consumers buying fewer plant-based meat alternatives?

How many animals does a 30 acre soy field kill?

Have you ever seen how many foals are chewed up in a combine?

IMO much more ethical to directly kill an animal vs. indirectly destroy its habitat or kill it accidentally (and then fail to use the carcass).
It's amusing how extremely processed food is becoming mainstream (part two).
I think parent is talking about the mindset or way of thinking that leads to revisionist history/conspiracy theory/etc. And saying that this mindset doesn't have much actually to do with the specific details of any given object/plotline (e.g. the Nazca lines). It's more of a self-reinforcing worldview, that there is a Story, that everything is significant in the story, everything points to everything else, and nothing means what appears on the surface.

The novel Foucault's Pendulum is a book about this mindset; the Illuminatus! trilogy is too in a way, though it's more experiential than descriptive. There are a few non-fiction books, though I'm blanking on the key author's name.

With regards to The Vax'ers vs The Vitamin D'ers...

If nothing else this study / paper does raise the question: What was the Vitamin D "status" of those who took part in the vax trials?

That is, perhaps the vax is effective, but as dependant on Vit D levels? Lower D? Less effective vax??

Yeah, hard to study, but given all the sociopolitical implications, certainly someone should make the effort?
It's mostly soy protein powder and sunflower and coconut oil, with a multivitamin and a few other minor ingredients tossed in.

I agree about monocultures being an issue in industrial farming.

However, I am skeptical of all of the claims about soy particularly if you eat it as only part of your diet.

And what do you think the animals are fed with?

If you're going to have 8 billion people eating meat do you really think there's going to be less environmental impact growing the food for the animals + the impact of the animals themselves compared to just growing vegetables?

I feel like meat scales even worse due to efficiency losses
My stance might be very different if the state and the mainstream decided to encourage the public to not only get vaccinated but also do things to be healthy. Losing weight, restricting calories, choosing to eat lentils instead of Macaroni and Cheese, going on daily/nightly walks, getting sun exposure, all shouldn't be ignored or treated as obsolete. What exactly is the reason, other than keeping the junk food industry afloat, that we not all be encouraging ourselves? Do we really need a bunch of studies to be performed to conclude that being generally healthy is either helpful against infection or at least won't make infection worse?

If we had a campaign of "do your part, eat right, get some walking in, and help the fight against COVID", I'd be like "Hell yeah! Now's our chance to see if we can beat this thing! Get the vaccines, get healthy, and join the fight!"

And now look. :(

For CLI stuff yes, for those of us into gaming and graphics, only the likes of SGI and NeXT were appealing, and they were quite out of reach.

I had a big UNIX phase, and ironically my graduation thesis was to port an Objective-C based particle engine framework into MFC, as the department was getting rid of their NeXTSTEP Cube, and the department was going into Windows for graphics programming.

Additionally the library archives of the faculty showed me the alternative computing universes and thus UNIX lost its magic to me.

Artificial meat consumer here, I’d argue a slight modification to that: it’s impossible to kill and eat animals ethically, if you cannot verify the animal was treated ethically while it lived. For the vast majority of supermarket/restaurant food such verification is impossible, and in these cases I opt for the pseudo stuff (or just plain vegetarian). However, when buying directly from small family farms it is actually quite easy and I have no hesitations about consuming their animalian products.

A lot of the time making a contribution that actually helps means fixing something foundational rather than bolting on another quick bug fix.

That takes work, sometimes quite a lot of it, and there's no trick around getting the work done any easier.

A lot of contributions to open source are simply worth what you paid for them, which is nothing.

Early in a project it is possible to find areas of the codebase where easy things haven't yet been done because there just haven't been enough programmer-hours done yet to burn through the simple stuff. Late in a mature project the easy things have mostly gotten done and finding more easy stuff becomes difficult, and as you pull apart simple looking issues they start to look hard.
I avoided this Vietnam completely. It was clear to me from the beginning that data model optimal for relational storage and the one optimal for internal application state (I usually write stateful servers in C++) are 2 different things.
Agree that the caffeine 'rules' about not drinking it after a certain time of day don't apply to everyone. I experience increased sleep difficulties no matter what time of day I have it.

Interestingly it does not seem to affect the initial falling asleep time for me, but causes difficulties getting back to sleep when I wake up during the night.

Or start by reading up on EMI[1] schemes in the UK...

[1]: EMI (Enterprise Management Incentive) is how typical tax-wrapped employee option schemes run here in the UK https://mylegaladviser.co.uk/advice/emi-schemes
general source to understand the phenomenon in prior variants: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2021.7571...

mutation profile of this particular variant: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

summary of the phenomenon in layman's terms: when binding at 100% efficiency, antibodies bind to portions of the spike protein like a key fits into a lock, so it's easy to "unlock" the lock, thereby neutralizing the viral particle. when there are mutations which affect the shapes of the different portions of the spike protein, it's like the pins in the lock shifting so that the key you used before might not work without quite a bit of jiggling, assuming you can get it to unlock the lock at all. the more mutations that increase the amount of jiggling it takes, the more the pins in the lock become intractable with the key you have.

this set of analogies is imperfect in a few ways, but hopefully it helps you to understand the gist of the problem.

Yes, perhaps they’re overly concerned, but if a friend of mine is worried about contracting a deadly illness; I’m going to scrub my hands like a surgeon and follow whatever I need to do to make them feel safe.

Your feelings don’t matter, it’s the person who is concerned who sets the limitations, otherwise you’re just a toxic asshole making them anxious.

I personally also avoid people who talk like you, because while I managed to avoid covid without any worries, they keep saying things about how we’re all going to get it so maybe we should just get it so we can be done. And they infected people they claim to care about with willful negligence.

If you don’t want people to cut you out, it’s best to hear what they say.
Just guessing: Nu is too close to Mu. Xi is pronounced too inconsistently to be useful internationally.
Similar with giving up caffeine. Once I’d got past the headache phase I’ve slept so much better since then. It’s been ~15 years or so.

Max one cup of caffeinated coffee a day if I go somewhere that doesn’t do decaf, any more than that and it is a rubbish night’s sleep.

Luckily never had to faff with the rest (blackout blinds, melatonin, etc) and can put down my phone and be asleep in 15 minutes although I do leave it in another room so I’m not tempted to “just check on something” when trying to empty my mind and get to sleep.

AL2 comes with amazon-linux-extras.

It provides newer versions for a few key packages, e.g.: Docker 20.10, PostgreSQL 13, Ruby 3.0, Kernel 5.10, nginx 1.20, PHP 8.0, Python 3.8, Redis 6.2, Go 1.15, Rust 1.47, etc.

Some newer packages, e.g. OpenSSL 1.1.1 and zsh 5.7 are provided in the main repo.

Outdated packages wasn't a major pain point in my experience. The bigger issue is a relative small selection of packages.

These are either available via 3rd party repos (e.g. NodeJS) or EPEL (e.g. libsodium), or by recompiling Fedora SRPMS. That can be an inconvenience, but not a big deal overall.

I hope the situation will improve once AL2022 is out, as Fedora comes with a much wider selection of packages.

I like how the you manage to blame primary pro-vaccine people for not promoting them perfectly for vaccine skepticism ... while completely ignoring pure FUD and lies routinely used by anti-vaccine movements.

And how it is only democrats who are responsible for some anti-vaccine claims despite massive anti-vaccine, anti-masks campaigns from republican politicians.

This helped for me and it's
a phased approach. It assumes good to perfect general sleep hygiene. It works for me, I don't know if it will work for you.

Basically I have a sleep disorder, my entire family going back multiple generations are night owls but I inherited the most extreme form of it because the sleep disorder pairs disastrously with my particular strain of neuro diversity and my profession.

Melatonin changed my life at 18. It was the first time I ever felt "drowsy", ever, but it wasn't sufficient alone. If I had any work in progress in my life my mind would still work on problems and I wouldn't fall asleep. It's pretty well established that melatonin helps with particular sleep disorders and may only as well as placebo in many people.

The next step of sleep hygiene was using an OLED smartphone turned all the way down with dark amber text and FBReader to read mildly mentally engaging books that I had already read before, harry potter and other fiction books with a relatively low reading level. This kept involuntary mind racing from overwhelming the effects of the melatonin. This had a high level of success but it still required a lot of intentionality and would fail occasionally and usually when I had the most going on.

In my mid 30s I started vaping weed about 30 mins before bed, this works very well but I don't recommend it except in careful moderation, it negatively effects my REM sleep and lowers my naturally high creativity as a result, it puts an almost complete stop to my over night problem solving skills and dreaming which I rely on professionally due to aphantasia. I've found that by vaping no more than two consecutive nights in a row I can stay ahead of sleep deprivation without significantly damaging my mental acuity and I can function normally without having to sleep all day on weekends to catch up (poorly) on the weeks accumulated deficit.
Illinois here and we are all weird:).

Regarding the enthusiastic individuals and believers in technology in general, I want to run something by you that I heard somewhere, and I think it is applicable here. I think it was a salesguy pitch, but the argument went ( based on the lyrics of:

"The sun'll come out tomorrow
So you got to hang on
till' tomorrow, come what may!
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
You're only a day away!")

that Americans are super optimistic. I remember buying into that description since I was internally comparing it to the old country and basic response to everything being doom and gloom. There is some value to hope, but I agree that blind faith can be counterproductive here.

I hear you on the family front. It has been a very weird experience overall. My extended family and social circles tend on the conservative side with some outliers. As far as I know, all are vaccinated too. As expected, the reactions were all over the place. We have one family unit that locked itself in with their kid and has not seen anyone for months initially and is only now relaxing their protocols somewhat. I do think it is a little over the top, but it really is their choice.. for better or for worse. We have one that is regularly roaming the countryside.

All this is happening, while my wife is still going full time to work at a doctor's office. We have a baby too, but we are going for the middle ground. It probably helps that we are home bodies. In all probability, we will eventually get covid just based on her exposure alone.

Overall, I agree with you -- we all missed out on some memories.

But all this talk about vitamin D reminded me I have to schedule an annual check up. Heavens know I did not move much in 2021.

Anyway, stay healthy.
What do you mean? I spotted this at the front page when I first saw it.
Went to most of the article, and it seemed to boil down to this kind of reflection:

> But as time progresses, it’s only natural that a well-trained object-oriented developer will seek to leverage inheritance in the object system, and seek ways to do the same in the relational model.

Basically, things are not perfect, and people try to blindly apply layers upon layers, thus getting deeper and deeper into a quagmire.

But the proposed solution of applying no automated layer doesn’t compute. If he can restrain himself from using any ORM at all, why can’t he restrain himself from adding inheritance in ORM models or other “let’s OOP this to death” blind approach ?

This feels like the “I sometimes get drunk so I’ll build a whole support structure to stop me from drinking”, and at no point someone steps in to say “just be moderate and it will be fine”
