Companies normally don't fire a crackerjack but that happened to me back in the 2000's during one of the more vulnerable parts of my life. The vice president who recruited me took a higher paying gig at a competitor. Then my manager went on a weeklong vacation. I showed up to work one day and found that my computer couldn't access the network. I asked the IT guy what happened and with a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead he was like, uhh talk to the new VP. Turns out first day on the job, he decided to can me. When my manager came back from vacation and learned what they'd done, he immediately tendered his resignation. Really unfortunate. But I checked and they're still using my code.

But it doesn't matter, because one goofball VP doesn't shake my faith in myself and the meaningfulness of the work that myself and my colleagues are doing. You might have lost faith but that doesn't mean other people should too. The GP wasn't just musing about his own life. He very explicitly said you and came across as saying your life doesn't matter if work is the thing that matters to you, because your work will never matter unless you're Gates. I don't accept that and I won't empathize with that conclusion. Because it's demoralizing and insulting to everyone who's working hard. If his truth was accepted as everyone's truth, then could you imagine how unpleasant the world would be? The simple fact is that your family matters and your work matters too. Regardless of whatever misfortune or doom and gloom you may have encountered on your journey.

Sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with them. I think they ask about the use case to avoid things like crypto mining and such. I've typically just responded with "graphics rendering" or "gaming" and I get approved within an hour.

To answer your earlier question: yes, the machine state persists. I think I pay $5 per machine per 50GB drive space per month. So it works out around $5 per month, plus the hourly cost of the machine.

I hope you're able to persist and try them out. I've been very impressed when I've needed to use it.

I’ll just mention that I bought my Moccamaster for about $100 on eBay. They’re out there and available.
I use R with Vim. Usually the R script file is open on top and there is a :terminal buffer with R running below. And I use a small vim-plugin [1] for sending commands from the editor to the REPL.

This has a few advantages, major being that you can run any language with a dynamic REPL this way, without changing your setup. Or, you can even have two files, written in two different languages, open side by side with a corresponding REPLs running beneath each of them. The downside of course is that you miss on auto-completion and other integrations like that. These are not impossible, but you would have to torture your Vim setup quite a bit in order to implement them.

You are making some really bold claims and you really might be an expert but I think you should open your mind to the slight possibility that others might also know what they are talking about. The OP specifically started with the premise that fast changing businesses would spend all their time fixing their automation and it might not make sense in that situation. Can’t comprehend how that doesn’t make immediate sense.

Let’s say I have a crawler which automates some data gathering. It’s sources keep changing frequently, robust automation here is probably a research project and simple automation is orders of magnitude more bang for buck.
If you divide two integers, you get an integer. You can then cast it to whatever you want. Or, if you want some other type, you need to cast it before the operation is done.
I am not your age, so perhaps don't have your perapective but if money isn't a big worry, do you plan to make any changes? A friend of mine at about your age took a break from his job and enrolled to the community college for courses to be a mechanic. He doesn't want to be one professionally but just wanted to learn. When I went through my divorce in my early 30s, I wanted to be social and did lot of meetups with people my age then, just trying to create more chances to meet new people, was surprised to see many people that were in a similar place in life and wanted similar things as me.

On the longer timeline, do retirement, grand kids, spending your saved up money on things you find interesting then excite you?
You might be experiencing a mid-life crisis (assuming you are not undergoing depression). Fortunately, I found what I was experiencing by just openly talking about my feelings to my friends (and not spouse/girlfriend).

For me something snapped one day after age 35. I was relatively successful, married and I suddenly lost interest in my work or any kind of work. Even retired for 6-9 months, only to come out extremely bored - pledging that I would never ever take a retirement.
It took me 3 more years to understand what was happening - I felt that at 38 too, and ideally it was still too early to experience a mid life crisis.

Some tips based on my experience:

1. Take very good care of your health. Regularly exercise (including at least some resistance training) and mostly healthy food. Measure health parameters.
2. Rule out any medical illness and/or deficiencies. Get a full body checkup done (including a detailed blood/urine tests). Do not cut corners here, but if not recommended, you could skip tests involving radiation.
3. For a month or two - take less stress (don't overperform or even try to overperform) and find periods of emptiness. After some time fill in those times with some activity that you love to do - doesn't matter how illogical it sounds. Let your intuition guide you. Make notes weekly.
4. On the work side, try to get into a management role. My situation was a little different, I was not an employee.

I do not know whether I am out of the woods(at early 40s), or just got used to the new reality. But I do feel quite better and may have made significant progress - only time will tell.
But why were you wearing a mask outside?
As an alternative to the sibling comment's suggestion, you could try playing some non-grindy games. There's this general expectation that one doesn't get good value out of a game unless there's at least 60 hours of content and probably an ever-challenging multiplayer mode, but dump those AAA expectations and focus on just having a good time.

Pick an indie game or two with a well-defined end point, one that plays in under 20 or even 10 hours. See the sense of finishing and never going back to it makes you feel any differently.

If it doesn't work, you can still leave games by the wayside. I took several years of a break because I just wasn't feeling it, and ended up coming back to video games with a different perspective. It's all good either way, you don't have to force it.
I love his animations, I wonder what programs he is using. He can do animations and calculations at the same time and it's all visually appealing. Most of his videos are amazing and fun to watch.

>>A Split on the Domestic Front

When taking office for his second term – which coincidentally took place during the Hårsfjärden incident – Prime Minister Olof Palme appointed Lennart Bodström as foreign minister in his government. Bodström, previously a trade union chairman, was rather inexperienced in foreign policy, leaving Palme, no doubt, with the most important aspects of foreign policy. In 1985, Bodström attended a dinner arranged by Swedish journalists at one of Sweden’s largest daily newspapers, the liberal Dagens Nyheter. The journalists represented several different right-wing newspapers. According to the journalists, during a question-and-answer session, Bodström made it clear that he “did not believe we had any submarine incursions, and if we did, they were not Soviet ones.”[4] When Bodström’s opinion was made public in newspapers, the center-right party leaders in the Swedish Parliament demanded the foreign minister’s resignation. Palme, however, defended Bodström at least through that autumn’s election, and, after a short period as minister of education, he was appointed ambassador to neighboring Norway.

I love this take. Most AI results provoke a torrent of articles listing pratfalls that prove it's not AGI. Of course it's not AGI! But it is as unexpected as a talking dog. Take a second to be amazed, at least amused. Then read how they did it and think about how to do better.

The OpenBeer database seems to be out of date. it only lists Aass fro Drammen, Norway but there are at least four more.

It's a pity that there seems to be no indication of when the data for any given area was updated.

It sounds like early version of typical midlife crisis.

Many of us have been there, done that. It almost doesn't matter how "successful" you are. (after all, look at Bezos, he seems to be hit really hard with it).

35 is nothing. I remember "feeling old" when I turned 17. Then feeling old when I turned 25, wishing I were 17. Then again every couple of years. From some point I now keep telling myself "you are 5 years younger than you will be in 5 years, and 10 years younger than you will be in 10 years" :D

Not sure if this will help, but "giving back" or supporting those around you are some of the core ideas of having kids.

Obviously I'm not going to be making copies of it to report because then I can get done for making illegal porn, that is the way the laws are written. Here is an example using whatsapp.
https://www.theregister.com/2014/08/05/whatsapp_smut_convict...

Two blokes in a Whatsapp group, someone sent some animal porn and because they were part of the group they got convicted of downloading.

I accept I can be done for downloading animal and child porn from Reddit's front page, but I think its the legislators way of facilitating animal and child porn distribution whilst convicting those who spoke out to report it.

Thats why I sometimes think criminals are running the world in plain sight masquerading as good guys!

The laws are not fit for purpose.

For most men, the life structure of the late twenties is fragmented and unstable. They’re unsure if they chose the right career path. The possibility of marriage becomes a more pressing concern. They feel aimless if they don’t already have a solid relationship, home base, and career path.

From here, men enter what Levinson terms the “Age Thirty Transition.” In the late twenties, men realize that if they are going to make a change, they must do it soon, otherwise it will be too late.

This change could be about their careers, what city to live in, whether to fully commit to their romantic relationship or pursue other partners, and so on.

Levinson writes that this transition is often stressful. He calls it an “Age Thirty Crisis.”

This happens when a man’s current life structure is intolerable, but for whatever reason, they are unable to form a better one. A moderate or severe crisis is common during this period.

The Age Thirty Transition often begins with a vague uneasiness, a feeling that something is missing or wrong in your life. At this point, men sense that they must either find a new direction and make new choices or strengthen their commitment to the choices they’ve already made.

For some men, the process is smooth. By 30, they feel their lives are reasonably complete. Still, it’s possible that they are not acknowledging flaws in their lives, which “often surface at a later time, when they exact a heavier cost.”

62 percent of the men interviewed in the book went through a moderate or severe age thirty crisis.

Levinson concludes:

“A stressful Age Thirty Transition was more the rule than the exception in our study...Many young adults as they pass 30 have serious doubts about the value and viability of our society and about the possibility of forming a life structure worth having. Perhaps every generation feels that its life problems are unique in character and severity—and each of them may be right.”
The thing is, I'm spoiled. There are so many great vector applications out there. We're in an age, where we're able to run awesome vector applications in a browser. How cool is that!

I'm just saying, that Inkscape needs to massively improve to stay relevant. For example, I realized that I'm completely going crazy when an app just crashes on me. I'm not used to that anymore.

Well, I understand, that Inkscape can be usable as long as you're doing simple stuff and as long as you're staying on the happy path.

But a graphic application needs to get out of its way for the user, who just wants to be creative. And as I was using inkscape, I used more time fighting it than creating.

In my opinion it needs to completely revamp the UI and streamline everything. Similar to what Blender did. But right now, I have a harder time using Inkscape than Blender, which us not a good place for Inkscape to be in.

The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City has a fantastic collection of barbed wire strands- well over a thousand different styles. I can't remember if it goes very deep into the fences serving as telephone networks, but seeing the variety of types and their evolution into a wire that could be cheaply mass-produced is fascinating and impressive.
We spent the last two decades watching the rise of surveillance capitalism, which financializes our behavior via advertisement. What web3 enables is the financialization of our behavior via financial derivatives. Private corporations will extract value from every transaction on the blockchain by betting on those transactions and repackaging those bets into new primitives to bet on. It is like the mortgage crisis, but for everything.

This isn't a move towards socialism. It is a move towards additional hypercapitalism accelerated by almost entirely unchecked automation controlled by technologists who have access to absolutely insane amounts of investment because they got lucky as early adopters of the coin du jour.
Other countries should probably follow suit. Where I live the levels of Russian financed misinformation is intense and surreal. I don't mean just social media trolls which FB is awash with but also paid operatives working on the ground and in communities and instigating against vaccines, NATO, EU and other topics key to Kremlin backed propaganda.
I usually find it's the opposite to be honest. Most people that I know that have a good understanding of how the technology works are far more sanguine about what it can and cannot do. Whereas those friends and acquaintances who understand the technology the least tend to be far more zealous in its potential.
I have found Datadog pretty nice
That would be less centralized, yes. The fact that one organization, the fed, has the unilateral and exclusive authority to create more money (essentially unlimited) would still be a very important point of centralization though.

> And what about a smart contract that requires participants to make a deposit with the smart contract itself?

What do you mean "requires"? Is there forced participation? Presumably anybody could make a competitor to this smart contract. I think I'd need a more specific example to understand exactly what you mean here.

It also depends on the contract itself. A contract that has an owner encoded into it who can make unilateral decisions is more centralized than an ownerless / immutable one.

Thank you for chiming in; I don't have the energy to compose my own top-level.

The OP is nowhere to be seen from my vantage point in achievements, but rather, I'm a stone's throw away from that one submitter last year whose circumstances and outlook were so crushingly bleak and who had absolutely nothing to their name.

I'm not going to pretend there isn't an ounce of "oh, poor me" here, but I think seeing it is crucial to understanding my outlook. I am the same age as OP, just weeks out from hitting 35. What they have in savings, I have less than a % in net worth. Also single, with no serious relationship for years (save for the fact that I've been talking to someone for the last some-odd months, we'll see where that goes). I have held jobs in small and big warehouses for mostly for 1-2 years each, for minimum wage.

No wife, kids, or residence to call my own.

Back at 30, I felt I had no future. How do I survive and live on?

Bearing in mind that question, something hit me (I don't know what exactly) when I then also asked myself: what if I pass on tomorrow?

I then started volunteering at the local women's center weekly (and have not been lately only because I finally have my first "real" job now as of a few months ago).

I'm reasonably fit, so I rose up the ranks (albeit still a temp in title) and ran the production lines at my warehouse jobs, sharing not only my sharpness through training people as oversee-ees but also all the warmth I have bottled up with each one of them as fellows I worked side-by-side with. Suddenly, it sucked a lot less to be stuck in my dead-end jobs. It wasn't hard to win people over when almost all the bosses and managers were being a bunch o' armchair dicks.

If I pass on tomorrow, I have already touched so many people and in turn enjoyed the blessings of having been touched back by every one of them.
Yes, you are right that conceptually it is the same problem both with reflections and transmissions. The key difference is that in typical scenes indirect/bounce lighting tends to have comparatively subtle effect whereas translucency, especially when colored, can be easily quite apparent. Colored mirrors are pretty rare but colored transparent objects are very common.
I spent more than I should have for a pair of ErgoDox Infinity keyboards ... they've made a tremendous difference in the health of my hands, wrists and elbows!
I don't see anything unsubstantive and/or flamebait in that comment, that future will come at some point. And the desire to secure/improve supply chain through automation is something everyone wants!
So this is the problem with censorship it's just that you don't like my comment not that there's problems with it.

To be fair, batteries for Logitech wireless keyboard (K270, non-fancy one, without backlight) last for years. Same for their Marathon mouse. Battery is not the reason to skip these devices. Connectivity might be, I had some interference with multiple sets nearby. But if you're solo they work very reliably.
I started getting pains in my fingers and after some time I realised they were caused by the keyboard. I bought a keychron and never had a problem with my fingers again. Really good devices for the price.
I turn 50 in 2 months. (I'm as surprised as anyone.)

I just had my first kid, a son, 7 months ago. He is amazing. But also, I'll be 70 when he turns 21 and that is terrifying. I'm hoping he keeps me young :)

A few years ago I ditched Ruby and went into Elixir. It's been amazing. I don't know what kind of self-limiting BS you're telling yourself but you sound like you're just in a rut and need to change your surroundings. Plus, 2 years of COVID is a drag on anyone's psyche.

I love gaming. Gaming's been better than it has ever been.

I also love EDM. Same story, the fact that recommendation engines know my taste SO well means I don't have to lose touch. I'm still listening to songs that came out a week ago on a regular basis.

I too have some money saved, and some early startup work has started to pay off. So I'm currently working on a business plan (very hard as I have some ADHD) to start a business, I think I have enough industry time to pull it off and I'd love mentoring people.

Find your thrill, sleep well, exercise, etc. etc. Make sure you don't have seasonal affective disorder. Good luck
A Mac Pro (2019) - I was/am using the 2019 Macbook Pro, but under heavy load (compiling rust/flutter mostly) the machine would get slower and slower as it became more and more heat saturated, and worse, when driving an external monitor the GPU would get hot as well and the whole UI becomes slow.

The mac pro is ~2.5x as fast in compilation but more importantly it doesn't lose responsiveness when the CPU is fully loaded, so I can still browse the web while waiting :D

EDIT: I said 2016 MacBook but it's the 2019 16" (2.3 GHz/8Core/i9) and to be clear, I know the 8-core Mac Pro on paper, has faster clocks, but it's surprising how much of a difference the thermal headroom makes to responsiveness and productivity
