I'm 33 and I'm in a very similar boat. Actually exactly the same to be completely honest. Several things have helped me cope with those thoughts. First one was force myself not to think about it. Whatever spare time I have, fill it up with something and avoid just sitting/laying down and contemplating. Books, walks, exercising, movies, stupid youtube videos, anything but giving myself the opportunity to think about it. Second one is getting yourself into new hobbies, which is extremely easy. I've never been a car guy or anything but cars generally interest me, so I started following Formula 1 closely. Got myself a 3D printer and started studying 3D modeling. Microcontrollers, sensors and small devices are dirt cheap and making small devices is extremely rewarding. And last but certainly not least, when the pandemic started I got myself a dog to keep me company. A fairly large one and a breed that is notorious for being extremely smart and having an infinite amount of energy. I definitely underestimated both of those things but it has helped me massively.
The closed source core of that tool really makes me go "hmm". It's free, so does that mean my searches are being monetised somehow?

Mixed bag. Meeting girls in another country is fun when you're traveling and you're 18. It can be depressing if they don't understand your culture and you don't communicate well. Sometimes I can't even understand girls from my own country anymore who are ten years younger than me.
Fair enough. Thanks for the input and clarification
I agree. I can never work effectively in LaTeX deal to the global namespace and in general very stateful behavior.

LuaLaTeX is quite fast nowadays though. Unless you need special glyph support, it’s better than XeLaTeX speed wise.

I can read programming books in the top half while taking notes or running code in a repl in the bottom one.

It's also okay coupled with gitpod or github teams (via codespaces) for "entertainment" or light coding.
On any given website, you can create an endless amount of accounts revealing exactly 0 personal information. Whereas with web3 you always need to expose an address that may or may not reveal some payments info

So based on this knowledge, web3 is less private than what we have now

Quoting:

"If a new transatlantic data transfer framework is not adopted and we are unable to continue to rely on SCCs or rely upon other alternative means of data transfers from Europe to the United States, we will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations."

Great piece written by an actual expert on the US bankruptcy code. You don’t own coins deposited with an exchange from the point of view of a court, no matter what the exchange itself says. Well worth reading because some exchange will likely go bankrupt eventually! The situation with an exchange headquartered outside the US may well be much worse. You don’t have any idea prior to consulting a lawyer in that country.

“The big point here is the if you are a customer of a cryptocurrency exchange, you risk being a general unsecured creditor of the exchange if it should file for bankruptcy. It doesn’t matter that the exchange’s contract with you says that you “own” the currency. That’s not determinative of what will happen in bankruptcy. If you’re a cryptocurrency exchange customer you’re actually in a worse position than if you dealt with a traditional financial institution for a bank deposit or security, as the exchange is not regulated for safety-and-soundness and there’s no insurance protecting your assets.”

getting married is about having a life partner to share the best and worse of life together with. money is just something that happens.

> This makes Monero much more bloated than Bitcoin.

Would you call bloat something that is essential for privacy?
I was mostly joking to prove a point, but I appreciate you saying that. I was just trying to cool the debate a bit, not stir the pot. I’ll admit I may have inflamed tensions myself, and for that I apologize. You seem to be arguing in good faith, even if I disagree with your position. You seem like a decent person.

I guess I’m more of a discordian, or a culture jammer type, and I view the kinds of conspiracies you’re talking about as cognito hazards that spontaneously occur when you have a large enough target demographic for them to appeal to. I suppose I just find your cure worse than the disease. I’d rather take the bathwater and the baby than just the baby. Call me crazy, but I think that variety is the spice of life. Some conspiracies are true, and are only theories until proved. I look at them as pathogens that are endemic, yet without them, we would have no EICAR test files for validating legitimate points of view and nothing with which to compare the status quo. Outsider voices have free speech rights too, even if they use them for ends antithetical to our own; that we oppose them doesn’t justify annihilating them, or their views.

If discourse got us into this mess, I can’t see how less of it is going to get us out of it. We need more spaces for productive discussions, and we need more outreach to the fringes. How else will we convince anyone? If all you want is compliance, then the law is a poor tool for that. It only incentivizes circumvention once ratified.
Just turned 35. Suffering very similarly, though minus the savings.

I saw a therapist for 2 years which helped a little and got me to the point where I realised I needed to get out of London, as it felt impossible to build deep relationships.

So I recently moved to a much smaller city and am making new friends and connections here and trying to build these relationships much deeper than I have in the past. I think it's helping but when I'm home, alone, the malaise begins to return.

I've also lost pretty much all my enthusiasm for tech lately, so I've gone down to a 4 day week, though I often feel like I'm "wasting" the extra free day off.

However, one of my new friends here is going through a coding bootcamp and talking with them about tech makes me feel enthusiastic again, so I'm considering how to move to some kind of teaching/tutoring role. I've volunteered as a mentor for bootcamp students, to get a taste, but that's not started yet - I shall see!
I've lost a grandma, auntie and am about to lose a father-in-law. All have cancer that was either detected late or was not operable because of there being no IC spaces available.

I have a RAVPOWER 26800mAh with USB PD.

It has 2 USB A (Out) and a USB-C (In/Out), I can charge my Nintendo Switch, phone, wife's phone, tablet, kid's tablet, Earbud case and XPS 13 (@30W) on the go.

I also use it to power my Pinecil when I'm working away from a plug socket.

Very handy when we're out and about without the car.

It's also the max size you can carry on a plane for travel (100Wh is the max in many places) at 99.3Wh.
Yes, pseudonymization is reversible because you keep the PII separate from the rest of the data associated with the user.

The reason you pseudonymize in the first place is that you can delete the PII part, after which the data becomes anonymized, which you can keep.
I echo the earlier comments to use jmh for benchmarking. There's lots of subtle issues that jmh solves.

One thing I notice is that your sieve run doesn't return any values. Java can optimise out code that produces no effect in some circumstances.

EDIT: Although in that case, you'd expect to see it run insanely fast. Anyway, the point stands, there's lots of non obvious issues in benchmarking.
You'd be surprised how much data "cloud" services lose or intentionally delete every year.
To maximize I$ hit rate you'd actually want to disable loop alignment to not inflate code size with padding.

Let me turn that onto yourself. Why do you believe that you are right? And why do you think you (or whoever) gets to decide what is correct or not for the remaining millions? No one is forcing anyone to anything (after all only who wants tunes in to JRE) although I think it is very healthy to have an enquiring mind and to have the habit of questioning and judging everything of importance you come by.
Architecture without Architects – Erik Dörnenburg
I'm not aware of a single CRT TV or monitor that had a brightness limiter circuit or anything like it? CRT TVs never limit brightness, in fact most will quite happily burn themselves out if they suffer from a vertical collapse or such defect. There's an overload circuit, but that's for defects not bright image content. If that existed it would of course also affect all the original consoles.

OG XBox is also an option for hacking. I think the Wii is a great platform as it's relatively cheap, but following the hacking guide correctly (https://wii.guide/) and configuring RetroArch is so complicated you might as well get a more powerful solution. Raspberry Pi + one of the various analog output options with CRTPi or my more minimalist shader solution or MiSTer with the analog board / direct video are really good.
This resonates a lot with me. In my case I think the lack of a relationship for a few years exacerbates everything else. A lot of suggestions from small (go for walks) to big (do some travelling) just make me a little sad that I would be doing those things alone.

I always find it particularly funny when someone says "oh, I totally get feeling lonely. Just the other day I was telling my wife that I was..."

In fairness, OP asked for armchair diagnoses. It's hard to stay away from recommending travel or whatever works for you, but that shows that it's a question that a lot of us (a surprising number of us, from this thread) are struggling with, so everyone wants to test their own theory.

Sometimes it is for historical reasons, sometimes it is out of necessity.

For example, Belgium has an aging nuclear fleet that provides 40% of the electricity supply. 5 of the 7 GW of capacity has to be closed down in the coming years. All political parties, the operator and the nuclear safety watchdog organization are in agreement on those 5 GW, but there is still debate on the remaining 2 GW. Regardless of what happens to the 2 GW, the gap in energy supply of the 5 GW needs to be filled, and this needs to happen very quickly.

There is already a planned tripling of renewables, but it will not get done in time, and it will not come even close to covering the gap. The market also wasn't addressing the coming shortfall due to regulatory uncertainty. Previous governments didn't take steps to replace the nuclear fleet, and now Belgium has run out of time and the current government has just a few years to replace the 5 or 7 GW of nuclear capacity. The only solution that was found to keep the lights on was to offer subsidies to the market for building new capacity, and most of the offers received were for gas plants, because in practice that's the only thing that can be built in time. So in practice Belgium now is forced to subsidize fossil fuels or risk the lights going out.

Ironically the gas subsidies will create windfall profits for the wind operators, because prices are set based on the most expensive energy source in the mix, and even with the subsidies that will be gas. So the gas plants will run with a lower profit margin than the wind farms, and this is why Belgium will not be subsidizing renewables as much.

> I do wonder if there is another way to provide these assurances and comfort without having to put electronics in the thing - it feels like all of this could be solved just with good design in the normal standalone version (particularly as everyone has been practicing on lateral flows for the last few years!).

There is none, because the "assurances" are there to explain why is the device needed. The whole point of them is to explain to you that you might be confused by non-electronic test and therefore you need to buy this device instead.

Otherwise said, it is not about reassuring you nor about showing you how to read the test. It is meant to make you doubt your ability to read the traditional test correctly.
How long have you had it?
My least favourite things about R is its desire to keep on running when it should have errored on something about 50 lines before and happily spitting out some nonsense result - maybe with a warning, often not.

One of my previous jobs basically turned into an in-house R consultant for a department in a pharmaceutical company, and I caught so many bugs when investigating some other issue which meant the results people were reporting were completely wrong. A really common one is multiplying 2 vectors of unequal length where broadcasting shouldn't be possible and it just recycles the shorter vector - but hey, it ran without error and there's an output so many researchers don't notice.

Not to mention trying to handle errors is pretty miserable, if you want to catch a specific error you have to match the error string, unfortunately the error message changes depending on the locale the R session is running in.
On Building a Better Web
I urge everybody who thinks these tests are always easy to read to look at this page where women are indeed seeking help on interpreting their tests: https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test-gallery/...

The comments are very interesting and you should take a peek. Helpful commenters are using image editing tools to check out whether the second line is actually there or just imagined.

A second stripe means a life-altering situation and with regards to access to terminations, time is very much of the essence.
The difference between assigning variables via "=" versus "<-" is not mentioned. That would be confusing to someone learning R.

> If the stimulus creates economic activity yielding revenues in excess of the stimulus itself then it can be 'free.'

In a growing economy (where more tangible goods and services are delivered to customers) this can be true, yes.

Kind of off-topic: I very much doubt this concept/aspiration/narrative/foundation or principle of planning/budgeting worldwide economy/expenses will remain viable for more than 20 years from now.

Why? Because humankind would be well advised to regard consumption of fossil energy as peak value, from where it continuously needs to decrease (rapidly so). The one driver of economic growth - energy, key to any human activity - ought to better have a lid on for decades to come.
Not a good outlook for growth (of said tangible goods and services).

> Especially women in shitty situation do do those tests in secret in badly lit environments.

Not that I'm not sympathetic but many problems in the US that common people face seem to be either a result of continuation of either hyper-local governance that seems to be a relic of "settling the continent" era OR an extreme form of capitalism that seems to be a relic of the "robber baron" era.

Personally, I think the second day ("second" day as in the one allowed by the UI, not the "real" second day as sillysaurusx outlined) is much more interesting (https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2007-02-20) as it also features "Why we made this site (ycombinator.com)" (https://web.archive.org/web/20070305045009/https://ycombinat... - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=189) but when I made that submission, it got no traction (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21206516) so happy to see that people care more about the "first" day :)
I don’t see why the determinations of government officials and the public that they represent aren’t reason enough to justify the regulatory actions that they are taking. It may not seem fair to you or to Apple if those regulations were to pass, but the status quo already is, and has been for some time now, similarly unfair to everyone in the world living under the Apple/Google smartphone duopoly.

These super-cheap headband/earphones

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09NPL7V7R/

The sound quality is surprisingly OK, they are more than good enough for Audible & podcasts, and you can comfortably lie on your side.

I bought them on a whim after considering options that cost 10x the price.

I've tried listening to speakers (can't hear when lying on my side), my phone (falls between pillows, gets tangled in my limbs), regular headphones (can't lie on my side, wake up with them being squashed beneath me). These stay put, are comfortable and actually work.

I won't wear them in public (for, hopefully, obvious reasons) but in the privacy of my own bedroom they've been a game-changer.

Did I mention they were only £17?
Also, WTF is wrong with bars? Bars are great.

I can't remember what book it was, maybe something by Douglas Coupland (?) He talks about how there was probably some guy just like him in 200 AD, in the Roman Empire, going through exactly what he's going through now. Forgotten to history, all his thoughts. And he's just that guy all over again.

Compared to beating the shit out of yourself for not being Mohammed or Ghengis Khan, Bars are just fine.
This would be my first go-to as well. See if you are retiring less instructions, and if yes, see if the counters tell what the CPU is stalling on vs the faster runs.

Considering dynamic search results and content
I'm not a huge enthusiast for home automation (we don't use any voice assistants), but we have a few Mirabella IoT light globes that can turn on/off on a schedule or in response to weather conditions.

Mainly I just have lights turn on before sunset, which works fine, but one of the programs I set up was for some indoor lights to turn on when it rains, as it usually gets quite gloomy here during rain.

It's quite common for that program to activate and turn the lights on when it's hot and sunny with no rain or clouds anywhere nearby.

I gather it must be because they're using this kind of weather forecast data and not doing any live/recent updating.
