Well, here goes a brief version of my story for giving some background and some advice:

I’ve been a Devops engineer for almost 7 years now. I genuinely love my profession and I am very passionate for what I do.

The burn out came a couple of years ago: I worked in a project with tons of technical debt. The company had a plan of moving the project into a different cloud. Their plan was “lift and shift” but I insisted on the fact that this was a perfect opportunity for doing things well. I presented my plan and they allowed me so I commited to refactor it from top to bottom. I worked for many more hours than agreed by contract and even weekends. Those months feelt like one giant day of work. I did all that not because I wanted to gain more money or respect. I did it because I take the “doing things right if I have the knowledge” as some kind of moral obligation.

It was a huge success. Everyone in the team and in the company was impressed and happy with the results and they saw the benefit. But, despite all the good outcome, I started to feel that something was not right on me. I felt intellectually and even physically exhausted. My mind was cloudy all the time. I started to have insomnia. I struggled to focus and I developed a very low tolerance to stress reacting to it with anxiety and frustration. I lost my good memorisation capacity. I went down into a hole where everything in my life started to be blurry: my technical knowledge, my personal decisions, my plans for the future etc. I felt insecure. I hated myself for not being able to cope with stuff anymore and I hid it for not looking “weak” in front of coworkers, family and friends.

My advice from the lessons learned is:

1 - Communicate your status to your superiors (and she/he will give you advice on how to comunicate it to your team), family and friends. Be open, realistic and clear. What you are feeling is normal so there’s no reason for dramas from anybody.

2 - Be honest with yourself.

3 - Have mercy for yourself.

4 - Accept your limitations. This doesn’t mean you accept you’re weak. This means you are potentially taking the first step to develop a strategy to overcome those limitations.

5 - Break the pattern by moving to a different project/department or even move into a different company.

6 - Take at least a minimum of one month of time off and allow yourself to be plain lazy. Forget about your company and duties during that time off. Enjoy yourself even if that implies to be for 5 hours in a row watching garbage on Netflix eating buckets of popcorn.

7 - Find a hobby: I’ve done from lockpicking, to learn an instrument, to electronics (arduino stuff), to videogames, sport, yoga, reading novels etc. Is gonna be good in the middle/long run not only for resting your mind but also for improving as a computer engineer even if the hobby is not directly related.

And that’s it. I hope you find it useful.
"This is just another "how I installed kubernetes" thing only without any real scale behind it."

It is just a learning project, for me K8S didn't 'click' untill i tried to configure it myself on a few machines.

There is something about doing it om physical real things that aids learning, like you could read all chemistry textbooks in the world but untill you actually try it yourself it's not quite the same

I think it's important to keep you 'precious files/services' and you experiments separate.
Yes, individual cells filled with lifting gas scale nicely (after all that's how rigid airships are made), but the main issue here is "big", not the actual arrangement or architecture. You need BIG to be able to lift HEAVY.
In the medium term I'd say it's more likely you miss out on optimizations by not clearly expressing what you actually wanted here.

The more clarity is available as to what you meant, the more aggressive the optimiser can be in delivering precisely that. If you don't express exactly what is intended, the optimisers end up getting muzzled because the effect is so confusing.
1. Don’t try to be the curator of an information bubble. It will be a lot of work and turning away users is a terrible business model.

2. Instead, build a platform where users can self organize into information bubbles.

3. Read up a little on graph/network theory. This is a deep subject, but even a little reading ought to spark some ideas.

4. Make a few models of your system and run simulations. It’s much easier to experiment with social network architectures in a simulation than in real life
They are expecting a spike in infections as a result, and the rules around self-isolation on positive tests and wearing masks in most contexts remain. But Ireland has had one of the longest lockdowns in Europe, and one of the best vaccination rates. Both have paid off, but not without cost.
any minute now there will be a language that would learn and steal the good parts from elm but with a more open and industrious evolution process. it’s not going to be as good but it’s going to be very-very useful for quite a while, until the next iteration of PL design
> QX9300 Core 2 Quad (socketed CPU!!

Yes, socketed CPU on a laptop! The HP equivalent to the M4400, Elitebook 8530w, even had a slotted GPU (MXM slot), which you could upgrade, wow! I loved doing that kind of upgrade with older workstations.

Sadly, Haswell is the last chip that was socketed on laptops. Anything newer and you get a pre-soldered chip that you can't upgrade.

They can be overclocked substantially, partly thanks to FIVR (VRMs on-die, Haswell exclusive, very hot - literally), often outperforming Skylake and even newer chips lol

Only solution nowadays if you want a laptop is to get one of the rare ones using a desktop CPU. They're surprisingly not as huge as you'd imagine, about the same as the article's Elitebook. Still, a pain in the ass.
Parents also vary a lot in how they feel about having kids around. Spending a two-week vacation with my kids and their cousins/friends is something that I personally would find really fun! And I know many parents that wouldn't feel that way.

To extend your excellent summary of office automation, you can think of most government functions as a manually operated AI. There are piles of rules and regulations to administer, and that is ripe for automation. However, can you imagine the horror of, say, a machine efficient IRS? The only thing that makes a lot of the regulatory regime survivable is the inefficiency of the bureaucracy. A hyper efficient bureaucracy would be suffocating.
Any reference to the ryf certification?
The article explains how they accomplished it without overwhelming their health care system like elsewhere: vaccines, including boosters.
Or here is a neat trick lawyers don’t want you to know: just don’t get married. Why are you involving the government in your love and sex life? Why complicate your financial situation so? If you want to publicly declare your love and commitment for your partner you can still have a ceremony and a party. Model it after hand-fasting ceremonies of old where you commit to each other for a year and a day. Then you can have a renewal party once a year. But soon as you sign a marriage license you are on the hook.

Now sure some will say that there are benefits for marriage such as tax breaks, etc. But the expectation value is against you: what you save on taxes for a few years you will lose in divorce to the lawyers. Ending a romantic relationship is hard. Don’t complicate with marriage/divorce.

> So that's 411k m3 with only half that as gas capacity ! Interesting.

Not sure how you reached 411, 245 x 41 would be 323k for a straight cylinder, which the hindenburg was nowhere near[0]. And the envelope was larger than the useful gas volume owing to the internal scaffolding, and the internal volume being subdivided into 16 cells separated by structural rings[1].

And the 232t useful lift was pure lift, before taking in account the 215t of the airship itself (at basic empty weight). The useful lift (payload) was 40 crew, 50 passengers, their luggage, and 10t cargo.

The integration with LLDB here seems really neat and makes me think about what other LLDB scripts could be made to improve debugging of common structures and data. It’s be neat to be able to visualize a tree, etc. in LLDB.
i don't work for fly so i'm not exactly an authority but as someone with quite a bit of cli experience i can get something done 50x quicker than with a webui. there's added bonuses too, you can use cli programs in ci build tasks.
It's such a good idea that they made a special cast that does just that in C++20: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/bit_cast
So the USA sucks --- but people still want to work here.

In other words, as used here, "pillaging" is really "offering more opportunity".
At this point, you’re either vaccinated, have been sick or are dead, so all good.

With Omicron beating out Delta and not causing as many hospitalizations - sure, why not.
I am always impressed how hard is for developers (sorry for the vague generalization) to understand that not-a-single user cares for the error codes but is looking for the solution. - it is always hassle to go tru that conversation with very little good examples in wide used products… do you know any software/product/service that offers solutions instead of code naming the error?

I wish that people who say things like "learn to live with it" actually meant it. We do indeed need to learn from the past two years, and that will result in something quite different from pretending that we're still in 2019.
Thank you! It’s really one of those things macOS should’ve shipped with.

I hope for thorough consideration of the totality of the evidence by voters and some careful thought regarding the last two years.

Good to know. This 8760w runs at reasonable temps but I will keep an eye on it.
It is not clear to me that low incremental death rates are due to lockdowns (or, for that matter vaccination rates). Balkans had low rates with no lockdowns (and vaccination rates of under 35% throughout last summer).

I am not claiming that your statement is wrong, just that the causal relationship is not at all clear to me. It is probably much easier to show for vax rates, but lockdowns -- I have not seen a convincing proof.

Hmm, I would never price a game at $5, that sounds insanely low. I've sold a decent % of my copies in Oceania so I'm confident my pricing isn't off, it's been working for the last six/seven years in any case. From the looks of it the Australian Dollar price is just one or two US dollars more than the US price. There's always a bit of fluctuation over time though.
Diffraction grating (separates light by wavelength)
I'm quite sure it will be much more like 2019 than you think. People will learn to live with the deaths if it continues as it was in 2020/21. Prolong the lock downs more and most of the population will go crazy.
And it could do so while still giving the owner tamper-evident control. Yet that never seems to happen - security is too good of an excuse for expanding vendor control at the expense of consumers.
This seems like good progress but not sure the headline is consistent with reality. You’re still required to wear a mask 100% of the time while in stores for example.
Have fun going to the ER for something non COVID related!
I apologize in advance, I'm about to be somewhat pedantic.

>But they were a clear victim in WWII; the amount of blood they shed was absolutely unreal.

If I've understood your intent correctly, you probably want "...the amount of their blood that was shed...". My understanding of "blood they shed was absolutely unreal" would be that they were killing others in massive amounts.
Lol find me one place in the United States where there are “lockdowns”.
Most of us have been giving it careful thought all along. Something about your phrasing suggests to me that your views are outside the mainstream? (In which direction I don't know because you seem cagey about actually stating your view)
I like this idea. At the very least, I believe couples should be required to negotiate the terms of their marriage in a legally binding way.

My current model is I think of marriage as a partnership and I accept the assets I brought to the partnership should be distributed equally. What I find unnerving is alimony. For example, what if I was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. Could my spouse divorce me and then demand alimony when my earning potential might have peaked?

I think requiring a legal contract for marriage that forces couples to confront these kinds of questions makes sense.
95% of their adult population are double vaccinated. In that sense, yes I agree, other countries should follow their lead.
Here in London people seem to have largely stop caring. Many have already been vaxed and got COVID. (I have)

Lot's of people are ignoring the mask mandates and going with out a mask, even on the public transportation.
UK is pretty much doing it, Especially England. The Omicron peak is over, hospitalisations never reached the numbers feared, indeed there were more people who tested positive that were hospitalised for other reasons -- something miles away from reality in earlier waves.

In this wave, case:hospitalisation ratio about 1:80. Last year it was about 1:13
Strange timing, with Omicron going through the population like wildfire. Maybe they are accepting they can’t fight Omicron?

In any case, this experiment will inform other countries on how to proceed further. I sincerely hope the results will be good, both for Ireland and the rest of the world.

If you want to follow the Covid data for Ireland, here’s the official site:

It pushes out new nuclear because the levelized cost of new nuclear is much higher than the levelized cost of wind/solar. And with highly dispatchable demand, levelized cost is what matters.

Why should someone who wants hydrogen buy expensive nuclear electricity when they can use much cheaper renewable electricity?
Frankly about time given that Omicron peaks are preceding peak number of booster shots. The magical broken product we can't sue over strikes again.

It's still not understood what pressures led to Omicron favouring lower lethality so I'll be curious if that's ever explained over the normal "that's what viruses do _shrug_"...
Dev I know working there has said the pubs were closing really early, with the result that people simply moved the party back home afterwards.

As a policy to stop groups getting COVID, it seems it encouraged the thing it was trying to prevent.

Anyway, kudos to them for going back to something like normalcy, I must go back there on vacation!
If anything, the insanity just got worse: https://github.com/elm/compiler/issues/1773#issuecomment-418...

There's an open bug re: negative literals, and accusations of bad faith towards the reporter.
Lockdowns seem to be very dependent on how they are enforced and culture.
The article is clearly about drinking alcohol -- not trace amount of alcohol in your mouth.
One lesson learnt is, shutting down the borders does not help. It can at most delay the inevitable by a few weeks. If you don't have a vaccine ready to be administered to all your population in 3-4 weeks, shutting down the borders is pointless.

Another one, politicians need to stop using science for propaganda. The mistrust in scientists has cost us dearly.
Educators often assume implicit knowledge.

I fondly remember my first day at IT school.

We went into the PC room and everyone should do some basic research on the C programming language. We didn't even had to program anything.

And a guy sat next to me on the PC and asked me how to switch it on. Then he asked how he even would find, let alone use a search engine.

Math and programming books are prone to such issues.

Especially math books assume, you still know everything you learned in school.
Most COVID restrictions at this point are just medical theatre. We are at a point where people can be responsible for their own decisions and proceed into the world at their own risk. Most places with bountiful vaccine availability should just drop restrictions. I have not worn a mask since last year after being vaccinated and have suffered no ill effects, despite being around a lot of people and going to parties and nightclubs. I can’t see how rational people can tolerate such imaginary sanitation rituals.
You could probably reproduce before cancer gets you, so unlikely.
Am I fucking crazy for not knowing what's going on any more?

US hospitalizations are at an all time high, 2000 people are still dying every day, and it feels like everybody is just okay with that now. What happened?

I get that everybody is tired of it, I am too, but it feels like we wasted two years of everybody's life just the take the bullet anyway.
Operating a blimp on Venus would be a bit tougher than on Earth, partly because the density of Venus atmosphere is only 95 % of our air (less lift per lifting gas volume), and also because of the incredibly violent 100 m/s winds, 93 bar pressure and a temperature of 470 °C.

"squandered [..] the opportunity of being the royalty-free ISA"

Last time I checked, IBM was a business. I don't think losing an "opportunity" to give away the ISA for free sounds like a loss to them.

This is inaccurate and misleading.

The calculator assumes that there's no cost to integrating with your system. It also assumes that the developer is salaried, which is almost never the case when it's a single-person shop.

The amount of effort required to learn your system, to do the integration, to test and to support it is absolutely on par with the time it would take to make a simple licensing framework from scratch. Except that the latter doesn't create an external dependency for a critical part of customers' experience.

This is all from a perspective of desktop software vendor. Perhaps things are different when your service is used for WP plug-ins or web apps, but for desktop apps - IMNSHO - the value of it is fairly low.
This is based on a lot of assumptions. First that there are children. Second, that one of the parties actually put forth effort to raise the children.

> "She took my money"

You realize gender is irrelevant now, right? My friend is a VP at a medical device manufacturer and had my situation in reverse. It doesn't just affect men.
This man needs some help managing his emotions, not 20 years in prison, and everyone applauding that should think again. Yeah he's a dumbass, but the adults handling him should know better, this feels like beating a child.
It always bothered me growing up, the lack of elbow-operable doorknobs and other measures for what would seem to be basic hygiene in public spaces. Cities are disease kettles, it never was appropriate to design them with the same low hygiene standards as our homes.
But to follow your analogy, 'keeping the partnership amicable' was traditionally seen as falling more to the person not out bringing money into the business. Divorce was much rarer when single-income arrangements were the norm, there may be some uncertainty as to causality but the two went hand in hand. If it's in someone's job description to keep the family together and they fail to do that - well granted, sometimes they were up against impossible odds, but it seems like the stay-at-home partner is getting the best of two eras, modern responsibility for keeping the marriage together and earlier responsibility for contributing financially.
Why do you mention the US when the article is about Ireland?
I thought the website was more engineery than slick, but more specifically, the up to 250 tonnes appears to mean, we can envision building one of a sufficient size to deal with that. They have mockups of a 2, 25 and 250 tonnes, and the scale of the big one does seem very large:

https://www.skylifter.eu/air-crane/

So is this reaction just getting caught up on combining images of the small model, with the load capacity of the (theoretical) biggest model? There's lots of things, like cranes, that have a fairly standard size and a few mega sized examples used for very specific tasks.
It is mostly unvaccinated people choosing to not get vaccinated, which people have lost patience for, and I cannot blame them.
Lots of places outside the US. Nobody said a word about the US.
"They are expecting a spike in infections as a result"

Can you show where they said this? This is what will happen but I haven't heard it be stated as a official strategy.
A book should do both.

Hold your hand with all concepts it offers, but also supply you with chapters and exercises that challenge you.

If you fail to implement an example, there should be obvious places you can go back to and read about it again.
> Indeed, the Hindenburg could lift over 200tons however it’s useful lift (lifting capacity minus its own weight and structural limitations) was only about 10 tons…

TBF it was 10t cargo on top of crew (40), passengers (50), and luggage. So probably closer to 15~20 useful lift.

> Strange timing, with Omicron going through the population like wildfire. Maybe they are accepting they can’t fight Omicron?

It's having very little impact on our hospitalization rates, despite massive jumps in overall case numbers. The main aim of the restrictions was to prevent the health service from becoming overrun (especially over christmas when they were already strained), and it's been deemed no longer necessary.
I use Note 3 as well. 8 years old and still kicking. Sometimes drops wifi or gps and NFC is not working for payments, but overall I don't complain. Android 11 with frequent security updates. I doubt that the next phone would last so long.
Different strokes I suppose, but my wife and I went all in when we married, with combined bank accounts, credit, car and home titles, etc. Our marriage feels stronger for that by signalling the commitment. (Married >20 years)
RYF allows various "tricks" of hiding blobs, so it is not what I'd use as the benchmark here. Raptor's standards are likely higher than what RYF would require...
So? My father in law runs a family farm that is over 4 square miles and his neighbor runs one that is over 40. The neighboring Hutterite colony is even bigger. All are very heavily industrialized.
I had to deal with a family member not being able to get a place in the hospital this week, even though they would have otherwise(covid unrelated) - taking care of them at home is nearly impossible.

No one cares until it affects them.
Yes I've considered leaving many times. I only have alimony, not child support(no kids), so failing to pay isn't serious enough to revoke my passport. Depending on how things work out, I may have to retire overseas.
The state of affairs is that Mac users are more willing to pay for software than Windows users, but not by a factor of 10, which is the Windows/Mac desktop market share ratio.
