Some tips from somebody in a very similar situation (including the dead water)

- Cardio: Going out for a walk, running, walking the little one, preferably while sleeping so it adds no stress to the walking; You have to get the adrenalin out of your system and cardio is the most efficient way to do this

- medical check-up: especially the hormone stuff

- self-monitoring: Leave situations before you meltdown. Do not answer immediately when you see a meltdown coming or feel that you are already there, if nothing else works, just leave the room.

- Talk this through with your family, be transparent on your wish to "get better" again; show commitment. To me it is the biggest motivation that I want to be at least a mediocre parent, not the kind hated by their ex and children.

- Some kind of mentoring/personal trainer/psychology helps, because it adds that sweet third-person perspective. You are asking complete strangers for help already, so think about what kind of assistance you are willing to accept. A friend of mine is in a self-help group, I am quite content with psychoanalysis though it is baby steps and that does not go well with my impatience :-) Not sure if your rejection of psycho* is not already part of the problem, nobody I met in the mental health sector was arrogant, but your milage may vary.

- Think about your job and whether it is worth risking your family. Apply at some other company (but remember that there is no company where all is good) that you can identify with more or just for a change of scenery. Become a carpenter. Do not allow yourself to sulk in some 'I am the victim' mindset even if you are a victim, it will not get you anywhere.

Making your screen all black saves energy.

For many monitors this is not true. For a screen where the resting state of the LCD pixels are open displaying black means the monitor has to switch the diffuser to closed in order to block the light, which uses more energy than displaying white. There are lots of different LCD technologies which affect whether black or white is more efficient. For CRT screens black is always better.

"Your theory that the sun is the centre of the solar system, and the earth is a ball which rotates around it has a very convincing ring to it, Mr. James, but it's wrong. I've got a better theory," said the little old lady.

"And what is that, madam?" inquired James politely.

"That we live on a crust of earth which is on the back of a giant turtle."

Not wishing to demolish this absurd little theory by bringing to bear the masses of scientific evidence he had at his command, James decided to gently dissuade his opponent by making her see some of the inadequacies of her position.

"If your theory is correct, madam," he asked, "what does this turtle stand on?"

"You're a very clever man, Mr. James, and that's a very good question," replied the little old lady, "but I have an answer to it. And it's this: The first turtle stands on the back of a second, far larger, turtle, who stands directly under him."

"But what does this second turtle stand on?" persisted James patiently.

To this, the little old lady crowed triumphantly, "It's no use, Mr. James—it's turtles all the way down."

I can't disagree more.

Static websites are valid and incredibly relevant, no need to prop up the friends at Remix (which is a nice product, just not the end all, be all - we were doing this 20 years ago as well).

You can very well show changes immediately with different strategies - but having a single artifact of what's online is invaluable. Caching dynamic content is fine, but having a log of what changed is nice as well.

A setup I like particularly is to have a real time cms available privately or locally - and a big publish button which build the static website and serve it.

That said, the only positive of today's web is that crossplatform compatibility is mostly a solved problem.

Performance went down the drain to the point that you need a beefy computer to browse multiple websites at once.
Data usage is at all time high. Browsing on a payg phone is pretty expensive.

The development world went batshit crazy (likely driven to resume driven development and cargo culting), which means your average codebase today is massively more un-neededly complicated compared to your average codebase 20 years ago.

Development experience in your average codebase is also way slower with all that transpiling (running on a scripting language with bad performances). My rust feedback loop (not the fastest compiler among backend languages) is faster than my typescript one.

20 years ago I loved creating websites, despite the challenges. Today, I try to avoid it as much as I can and do backend.

I still create frontend for my own websites and it's overall as great as 20 years ago - but I don't use the slow mainstream tools which I'm forced to use when working with clients.
Why do federal agencies use closed source software? They are the best placed to know ho insecure that is.
I used to be excited about building websites ~10 years ago when it was about building web pages (you know, the thing HTML and friends were designed for). I "rage quit" after people started (ab)using web development to build approximations of apps. The reality that in the end the majority of people don't care about "use the right tool for the job" hit me hard. I would have never imagined that big companies with good enough budgets would still build applications with HTML just because "everyone knows JavaScript". It is all so demotivating -.-

These days I just try to find niches where people still care about using the right tool for the job and writing efficient GUI software. Lets see how long these continue to exist.
Where has the German government banned cookie banner providers?
The do-not-track header is just another bit for fingerprinting you, I don't believe any ad-company actually honors it. Also, why trust that they do, when there's a solution that doesn't need trust?
Another major python release (i.e. Python 4) would lead to widespread rioting, massive overloading of mental health services and numerous cases of spontaneous human combustion.
So it will be cryptocurrency in name only. We are truly living through a bubble of stupid money. I have no idea where it's headed but I hope anyone getting hurt can take it.

There's something about Tailwind (which I use, love, and evangelize to all who will listen and many who won't) that makes me think of the phrase "You can't fire me, I quit!"
I kind of agree with the author that Tailwind is the best thing to happen to CSS. But yeah he definitely oversteps when he says that CSS is solved.

It most certainly is not a solved problem lol. UI still feels way fucking harder than it should, in all kinds of ways.
But how does this reduce over time?
Masking does not prevent the spread of covid, for the result is not perfect. It does slow the spread, which is helpful to allow vaccine development, and reduce hospitals strain.

Current vaccines do not stop the spread of covid.

Thus, eventually, everyone will have had covid, and all its variants.

We're pretty much there, I'd think.

So that said, eventually masks and social distancing will lose relevance, as case numbers will drop, and the real goal of masks and social distancing, reducing hospital overloads, will go away.
It's time to stop hero worshiping the tech billionaires
I disagree with both (longer) replies — but sure appreciate the style of debate.

The reason to allow data transfer to the US for (arguably) trivial data is that a private entity might choose Akamai as their subjectively best option. Restricting data flow for (arguably) no good reason puts restrictions on other who can invoke their own fundamental rights. Leaving aside that it’s also not great to force the technologically inferior solution for (arguably) moot policy reasons.

As to the argument of informed consent, I think that’s another severe misconception. In my opinion, consent is only one option to legalise data processing. The fact that GDPR (and older German legislation) lists legitimate interest is important. We should — in my opinion — not fall for the fallacy that data is a whole different universe that can be split off from everything else. For most of our lives, data just flows with contracts, relationships, torts and whatnot.

I do acknowledge that in the case, the university is Public and does not have (relevant) fundamental rights. Also that web analytics is likely one of the consent only scenarios. But we’re drifting into theory anyway.
I hereby publicly announce that I use Arch Linux. I really do so for more than five years now, and I'm not thinking about switching. OK, maybe to OpenBSD for a change now and then.

PS: Did I mention, that I use Arch Linux?

PPS: Did I mention, that I'm thinking of switching to OpenBSD?

PPPS: OK, back to Arch Linux, I'm not tough enough for OpenBSD.

PPPPS: Did I mention that I'm back at running Arch Linux, by the way?

This is a (very) short story imagining a future where our current practices of factory farming and meat-eating are regarded with the same horror as we currently regard slavery.

To be fair, recent tech has eroded that a lot. People are still not happy about all of it, but the resistance has been dropping - usage of Facebook and Google products is now pretty widespread and people (especially young ones) seem to be far more lenient in that regard.
a person re-writes full featured and working library in rust. tells everyone.
Its not that sharp, its a tube of brushed aluminium around, around 2cm in diameter, the walls ca. 1 mm thick. It's tapered at the top (which can be seen in the image). I put tea in there and coudldn't get it out after it had swollen in the hot water. I opened the bottom, put the handle of a wooden cooking spoon in, hold the cooking spoon with both hands and pushed the tea tube against a wall. The tea suddenly gave loose, and the tea tube shot down the cooking spoon to where my hand was holding it. It only hurt after the shock of seeing a groove in my fingertip was over, and it seemed like and eternity until there was blood (but then lots of it).
Shame on you, all the world must know.
I run Arch btw.
> Rust tries its best to make GC-less development as productive as programming in ordinary GC languages

I think it is generally impossible. While first draft version of the program may have similar velocity, later maintaining will necessarily hit those leaked lower level detail which is simply not a problem with managed languages.

But I don’t think that this is a problem in any way or shape.
I thought that was a weird statement. Tailwind solves (kind of, to me) the problem of organizing CSS. I mean, you still have to pick the right rules to write.
Sadly I found this to be poorly written. Perhaps it's because he had nothing to say, short of name dropping and self promotion. He seems to have a very high opinion of himself.
The only issue is that glass bottles are too cheap and heavy.

They should at least have a 25 cent deposit as well. Right now no homeless person picks those up, because it's just not worth it.

Even with 25 cents there would still be a disincentive due to the weight, but I also don't want to incentivize bottle makers to produce more plastic, for them to lower the price at the counter.

You learn everything that is relevant on the job.

It can be useful to have a high-level idea of what people do so that you can show you understand what's asked of you and you can more easily find the right role.
What, weekly for 2.5 years?
> sounded wildly different depending on the capabilities of the sound card.

Always wondered if you could ever know with Midi what the original music creators ever intended since it varied wildly based on hardware.
Also, confirming what you wrote: students who excelled at my courses, usually took some courses, like online, before that. Those who were great at maths in the university, said their parents were mathematicians, and they were exposed to advanced maths, like quadratic or trigonometric equations already at the age of 7-9.
While I see your point about how to solve this problem, why is this even a problem "worth" solving? Going back to the nuts and bolts: are the bottles and cans any different between countries? What is exactly protected from accepting "foreign" recyclable materials? In a free market, if people start dropping over the border to recycle, local price would quickly match up to avoid people having to make the trip (somebody would make a business out of it, and then original deposit price would soon match up with where it's more expensive).

It rather seems to be the other way around: it's easier to devise a system where you go by something unique and country-specific like a bar-code (to avoid counterfeiting business), so that's why it's like that (of course, there's also living standard difference between countries).

Still, even if there was an incentive discrepancy, it's easy for all the countries to match upward since this is basically just "loaning" bottles/cans out, and you only need to pay out "once" for your regular supply of whatever drinks you like to get, and after that, you are just re-starting the "loan".

FWIW, it's been like that in Serbia since forever, but only for the same product where the producer cared (you'd get an entire beer case, and then once you are through it, you bring it back to the store, and pick up another one): this allowed them to keep the price down and get more turnaround for their drinks.

I sure prefer the legal framework that allows returning it regardless of the specifics (producer or such).
The big problem with our society is that somehow there apparently are laws that would protect these companies from adversarial interoperability, so these threats actually have teeth. I kinda wish to see one of such cases brought to a court to see it ruled in favor of the developer.
You need to hang out with some stakeholders, those animals will easily come up with a feature that requires a crafted solution.

My shoeshine tells me it’s headed to the moon!
Yes. The true test of a CSS framework is how easily you can change it without breaking shit. I haven’t found a better solution than Tailwind in that regard. Emotion comes close but it also encourages you to componentize everything, which can cause change issues. In Tailwind I found my components disappear because I didn’t need them.
Reactionary is a political label first and foremost and using it in this context tries to equate not-cryptocurrency-advocates to political reactionaries at large. Also, you've contributed to various cryptocurrency repositories, so trying to claim you're not some kind of cryptocurrency advocate/shill/memer or invested in it (pick whichever you like best) might take some convincing.
Scholastic had a mash-up between choose your own adventure and programming in the 80s. They were awesome. In one chapter the program decided your fate. There were "two" outcomes. You were prompted to enter a number and then a countdown appeared. Reading the code, if the input was even, X happened. If the input was odd, Y happened. The trick was to realize the code allowed you to input 0 which was the desired path forward.

Kind of reminds me of how tight beam communications are used in The Expanse universe.
The case is about a German public university, owned by and located in the state of Hessia, that uses a Danish service provider to manage cookies on their website, which in turn uses Akamai. That by the way is the reason this whole thing is tried at the administrative court - the defendant is the state itself.

The author has done very well here. Half the audience seem to think that the piece is a damning indictment of modern culinary habits, and the other that it's a wonderful takedown of modern iconoclasm.

Full marks! Science fiction done right.
This is my issue also. I'm guilty of being a 2x'er, not because I believe I'll absorb more information faster, but because I find most narrators/podcast hosts tend to slow down their speech significantly when recording something for consumption. Be it because their reading speed is worse than their talking speed, or that they think they need to for effect like some 1940's Trans-Atlantic radio host, I find it painful to listen to most of the time.
So far no one really could use cryptocurrencies as currencies because of this, they remain an asset class, in truth a Ponzi scheme. Circumventing governments, banks and payment processors seems alluring until you realize that there is a reason for every single regulation. Once you learn all the lessons you are back to fiat money and centralized banking systems despite their imperfections.

It's like those hippies in that South Park episode.

Man 2: Right now we're proving we don't need corporations. We don't need money. This can become a commune where everyone just helps each other.

That was conjecture and unrelated to this, I removed it.
Same in Germany, there is also the "Pfand gehört daneben" (Deposit [bottles] belong next [to the trashcan]) campaign, often with bottle holder on the trash can.

The whole deposit system is extremely convenient when you are drinking in the park or beach, where you usually don't want to bring all the bottles back again, but you'll get people coming by and ask if you have any deposit bottles to give to them.
Okay, updated results (cleared all the caches and restarted shell/terminal between runs):

"time command ls -lR --color=always": 12.31 secs

"time command exa -lgR --icons": 11.32 secs

Still, no performance difference on my system. In fact exa seems to be slightly faster (I did the test multiple times and it was alwasy ~1 second faster). This is on a physical HDD and I could hear it churning equivalently on both of the runs.
The problem is that both the client and the server is controlled in large part by Google and they like to optimize the user experience into whatever allows them to sell ads.

Lynx is about the only browser that still notifies you and has you accept each cookie manually.

Where do you think you are, dude?
I would tend to agree with the advice given so far that you should bail on the well-known company, but you also need to tell them directly why it is that you are no longer interested in their offer. It is possible, but unlikely, that they will adjust the offer, but they need to know that they made a mistake so that they can correct in the future.
Because author chose to make it the main point of the article. And the fact that half of the article has nothing to do with the main point just shows that it's badly written.

You'll be surprised to know that a cryptocurrency transaction is a record on a ledger of a transfer of some value. Whether it happens "off-chain" or not does not discount it being a crypto-currency transaction. What the poster above is referring to are "level 2" solutions, for example [1] the Lightning Network for Bitcoin. In short, the crypto is being transacted on one network, then that record is finalized along with others on the Bitcoin ledger.

Walk, walk, walk. Whenever something goes to your head, just go out for a 30 minutes stroll and let your body/mind relax. It will not solve any of your problems, but improve your attitude for sure, which is a step in the right direction.
It is not a meme, Go ask a question like "How I install xyz in Debian and an Arch dude will tell you to switch to Arch and then install the package from the AUR". Also Arch has a lot of fanboys that will deny that Arch rolling system has flaws(internet is evidence of people having problems) and it is not blindly update and 100% works.(they will forget to mention until is too late that it works 100% only if you first read the news page, not use certain hardware, don't install random stuff from AUR that some random dude said you should.

My advice would be for the community to

1 be honest, there are caviats, there are better tools for some jobs, there are problematic hardware configurations and problematic packages

2 try to slap the idiots that suggest switching to Arch on unrelated topics like "How the fuck do I fix GNOME stutter on DistroX",

Edit: I was responding to a comment below but the user deleted it... so Sorry if I made you considering not answering questions, please continue helping people with good advice like

- how to troubleshoot

- how to read logs

- how to search a bug tracker

- how to report a bug

- how to edit config file

- remind people that new version of xyz also contains fixes but new bugs too and sometimes will remove features, so if an upgrade of a package is suggested there should be a caution raised and maybe a way suggested to downgrade.

And if you really thing Arch would soemhow fix this bug because of Arch's magic code explain what exactly is this magic and maybe suggest this person try it a VM or live iso to confirm it actually works and there are no other new bugs.

What people hate is "it works for me on Arch so by Arch
fanboy logic the issue is your distro"
I'm saying it in jest, but also as an observation. The TFA writer takes it for granted, but then again, so do many (most?) today.
Yup, arrogance is a symptom of incompetency. People are loudest about the things they are unsure about. We see it all the time in our line of work - beginners are the most arrogant. But it applies to doctors, lawyers, and psychotherapists too.
