You might need therapy mate... maybe your fear of having a panic attack fuels the panic attack - as if your first panic attack was enough of a traumatic experience, or at at least extremely unpleasant, and you might have anxiety as a trigger for panic attacks.

What helped me the most was:

- recognizing that I'm fine/healthy, like go do a check-up if that's bothering you;

- getting used to physiological discomfort, for example exercise (or yoga I think helps as well). Like the concept that having high heart BPM, and high blood pressure, and shortness of breath, becomes familiar to you to the point you don't even be bothered by it... your body will perceive that as you're fine, and that body condition fades away and you become calm and relaxed after it.

For example: chest and back pain are usually from shallow breathing, which is recruiting auxiliary muscles. On the other hand your neck/back muscles are probably tense.

Basically you need to feel that you're safe in your own body, which is an odd concept the first time you come around it, but in a sense you might be fearful of the reaction of your body to some stressors.

The worst part is that it can't just be rationalized, it's probably very hard to try to just solve this through logic, because your body does his own thing when it comes to reacting to emotions, it releases hormones so there's no thinking through that.

Even if you have a stressful job (which you should consider if it's the best for you, or at least try to change what's stressing about it), and it can be the source of your anxiety, but panic attack doesn't have to be the outcome, even within that scenario.

Above all, if it's has an impact on your day to day, you need to get it checked.

Growing up in Georgia, there was a state law enforcement agency called the GBI (like FBI, but state). There was also a highway patrol. Personally I’d suspect the former would be the one involved in something like this.
Exceptions come naturally from the realization that you mostly have to propagate errors to where they can be suitably handled or logged. And all that propagation code heavily detracts from the meaning of the code when you are writing it or reading it. And messing up the propagation is a common source of issues (historically).

With "exceptional" errors are are only 2 real recovery options: restart the operation or terminate the operation. Neither of these are typically decided on anywhere where an error might occur in the call stack.

In my state (SC), the people I personally know who have been ticketed for a rolling stop have typically been the only vehicle at the intersection (sometimes the only vehicle on the entire road). I suspect this is because the infraction is more visible (it's illegal either way afaik).

> Most Russians very much don't see Ukrainians as brothers after 2014.

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/02/16/we-are-one-people-...

All the Russians I know view Ukrainians as brothers and are against the idea of Slavs fighting Slavs. Anyhow I'm not spending the time to find a comprehensive poll but it's you believing the propaganda that a majority of Russians actually want to fight Ukrainians.

> Russian propaganda works reasonably well.

Yeah right, I've never met a Russian that believes any news, no matter the side lol. Ditto for Ukrainians. Distrust in authority is basically a cornerstone of Slavic culture...
One of the core problems is C++’s design basically requires it: there’s no other way to error from a ctor, and since ctors are used as hooks in many operations the dishonest rejoinder of “just use a factory” doesn’t work in any capacity.

> How do people who write Clojure deal with lack of type checking?

Runtime asserts, typically.

It ends up being somewhat less of an issue in practice than someone coming from Java or Kotlin would assume, I think, because clojure really only has a single datatype: a sprawling, immutable soup of nested maps and vectors. The design of the standard library is such that your standard data manipulation functions will basically always work on every data structure you get passed, so you end up designing your internal APIs so that they take in a blob of data, perform an operation if the soup has the right components (and probably throw an exception if not), and then spit out that changed blob of data.

Is this better (or at minimum no worse) than having a type system? That's a broader question of philosophy and taste that I'm still undecided myself (for instance, I think the type systems in Haskell and Rust are really quite valuable, but the ones in Java and Go don't really pull their weight), but it's not something I really miss on a day-to-day basis writing clojure code--it's just a different way of doing things.

> And auto-complete when it comes to Java library interop?

My experience as both a professional and hobbyist clojure user is that this is not a huge issue in practice:

- Java interop tends to get wrapped in clojure defns so you can get your auto-complete pop-up off the namespace alias.

- At least with my setup (emacs+cider), adding a (:import (...)) clause to a ns form allows me to autocomplete on all method names of classes in scope (and provides type-annotated signatures), so I can still auto-complete when performing interop. I believe IntelliJ+cursive is even better about that sort of thing, and if I were working directly with Java libraries/APIs a lot I would probably consider switching IDEs for that reason.
> A consultant is independent, for example; a contractor is not. The difference is that the client tells a contractor what to do, while a consultant tells the client what they should do.

Huh? The two terms are very often used to mean the same thing.
It feels like some of the more agile publishers reacted to this sentiment some years ago, in that they started publishing 5,000 word articles about EVERYTHING and subsequently even long reads are self-indulgent garbage.

I personally would extend this article in today's world to be more like "scan the headlines every 2-3 days and go read books instead". That way you know "what" is largely happening, e.g. geopolitics, floods, murder trial, but you don't waste time consuming a few thousand words of garbage from somebody who knows no more than you do.

A friend of mine started doing this way before me and a take of his was that any sufficiently big news will make its way through to you via social circles anyway, use people who don't value their time as your filter.

As someone who just stepped back into pop culture after being in prison for years (so might as well been on the moon) my first shock was just how horrible it all is now. There is no news worth watching. Cable news is just a pile of filth excremented by a Labrador Retriever that solely eats baby diapers. I thought I will watch Bloomberg since if real money is involved it can't be too manipulative. Nope, wrong. The internet is just a fireheap. Let's check Reddit. Oh god close the browser window immediately. WTF? Slashdot? Um, what is this, someone wearing a Slashdot skin suit? How about the sites by supposedly rational academics on each side of the political persuasion to get some balance. WTF? Just hate and anger and toxicity on a crazy level otherizing any opinion not their own. People are once thought great intellectual insides making incredibly uncharitable frankly hate filled comments and self isolating in echo chambers. Google Discovery app... "here's some blog posts summarizing relationship posts made on Reddit". Huh? Why would anyone want to read this let alone have it further aggregated for them? Seriously, modern American discourse has less humanity, compassion, depth, and recognition of nuance THAN PRISON. Or maybe prison just made me less patient of bull crap and able to immediate horrible people by their mannerisms. Seriously this site is the only place I have found still sane and enlightening.

There is actual peer-reviewed research about what makes a good software engineer which you can find easily with the right tools. This 2015 paper using a sample set of 59 Microsoft engineers across different divisions is one such study: https://faculty.washington.edu/ajko/papers/Li2015GreatEngine...

My experience in the industry is that no one in charge of either hiring or promotion is aware of the research, and have chosen to structure the systems that support them without data and prone to biases. The most bizarre aspect of our industry is that there is a high emphasis on work output, whether that be measured in LOC, number of PRs, number of releases, number of "story points," etc. or another measure, and yet low value of those same metrics in promotion processes.

I don't actually think those are great metrics to base career advancement on, but the contradiction is egregious.
I run into the same struggles at work with anxiety and expectations.

Telling myself I can quit, get fired, ect didnt help.

What did help was bringing more honesty into my job and letting go of ego.
I felt like I was making the project success personal, suppressing and internalizing the stress, and holding myself to an impossible expectation.

My recommendation would be to just bite the bullet and give an honest update to your manager, tell them where you are, and ask if they have any additional ideas. Healthy organizations actually want this. If your manager blames you, you have a different problem to deal with, but at least you are one step towards getting out of your personal hell.
Mainstream news is worthless if you want to be ahead of the curve at all. Covid is a great example, I was stockpiled by mid January because plenty of places were talking about issues with suppliers in China in December 2019. Mainstream news was downplaying it until the first week of March

I realize I'm likely in the minority, but my property value has gone up almost 100% since 2019, and I don't like it one bit. I'm going to be burned by property tax increases like everyone else.

Indeed, good point. There's no shortage of coverage on presidential candidates long before you enter the ballot box.
> Ideally, those who want to work from an office could, while others on the same team could work from home, and everyone would be considerate enough to make it work.

Again, this is putting the personal preferences of one group above those of another group. What you describe is only ideal if the office people don't mind working with the at-home people and vice versa. You don't have to be considerate of someone else's preferences if you're willing to leave for another job.

Personally, the next job I have will be office only with 0 off-site employees. It's my preference and hopefully I'll find a company whose preference aligns with my own.

Every decision a company makes treats people differently. The goal should be treating everyone fairly. If a person disagrees that they are being treated fairly, they can make their case and try to get something to change or they can get a new job.
In many U.S. states "highway patrol" is simply the name of the state police agency, sometimes informally and sometimes formally.
We are so weird about this. We already have national "identifier" - the social security number. Pretty much everyone must use it because of both social security and taxes, but also due to private use cases. We should just admit this is the case and manage it better. The man-in-woods scenarios where one can opt-out are just not very realistic.

Now as a matter of authentication - verifying the identifier, we have left this up to the states in the past, with opt-in federal IDs for various purposes. Though with RealID this is being standardized. Login.gov is a way to have a digital equivalent.
And there are answers that are still correct after many years, if Python2 to Python3 transition is an issue then make sure to google "python3" or something.

IMO a professional developer should be at least competent enough to detect if an answer is for an outdated version of the language, library or framework, we should not delete or hide old answers just because n% of developers jumped to latest version yesterday or implement some policy that works for XLang globally so XLang users don't copy paste like ... invalid code that won't compile without a minor change.

> the federal government absolutely shouldn't have to need a "National ID."

But every state has an ID system, and they're all known to each other, and tied to your SSN which is a national id number. We already essentially have all the parts, just messier.

Same. Probably same for lots of people.

It's been about 8 years since I've completely stopped watching tv news or reading newspapers but this post made me realize that I still browse reddit and r/worldnews sometimes.

This is just to say that quitting everything might be close to impossible considering that in some cases we even get news reports via unsolicited SMS messages but we can still reduce input and have a more focused, calmer state of mind.

Currently testing all kinds of tracking / ticketing software.
This one looks really good, I love the simplicity. The design is superb. Congratulations!

For my use case, list views are a must-have. You commented that such feature is on your roadmap. Are you planning to include configurable sorting, like:
- list all items per user
- list all items per label
- list all prio 1 items

Also I could'nt find a way to prioritize tickets.

Are you planning to make the tickets searchable (eg. list all tickets which include the word 'onboarding')?

Will there be a "language add-on"? Some of our customers would need to have access, but rather would like to navigate in their native langauge.
The more I read this thread I’m not sure healthcare is such a bad deal…
Especially when we already have social security numbers, which are used for nefarious purposes by non-government entities all the time. And if you're over ~25, odds are your SSN is out in the wild thanks to Equifax.

Replacing SSNs with an alternative built on public-key cryptography seems like the best way forward. I do not understand the opposition to this. Having citizens sign their tax returns, loan applications, etc. with their private key instead of just writing their SSN on it would eliminate most SSN-related identity theft and fraud.

I'd like to know too...
I always want to push back against the narrative that people's natural state is to want a single family home. Out of control zoning makes single family detached homes the only possibility apart from some specially designated urban cores, so it can easily seem like people only want detached homes. It's easy to look at our current housing stock and think it's what people want, but it's the work of a small group of people enforcing their choices across decades of zoning. There are plenty of people who want a single family home and that's fine. What I'm not fine with is their choice being encoded into city law as the only choice.

There is also a knee-jerk reaction across north america to any density beyond single family homes automatically being glass and steel high rises that block the sun. What we really need is missing middle properties, like tri- and quad-plexes. Low and mid rise apartment buildings with plenty of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units. A lot more density than we have in suburbs now, but not crowded or packed.

Montreal is one of the few cities in north america that actually has that missing middle housing. It's also the only metro region in Canada that has both mostly contained sprawl and been relatively unaffected by the housing crisis. This is not a coincidence since people have all sorts of choices about what type of housing to live in that fits their budget and lifestyle instead of ones forced by extremely limited zoning options.

It's not about discipline, it's about cultivating the ability to find your own north star of sorts, follow that, and ignore the noise.

In my example: I consulted in 2010-2012 doing Rails and hated it (despite having a great client). Decided I was not compatible with the webdev culture of shipping fast and breaking things, so I started self-studying compilers. Landed a job at an R&D firm in 2012 working on LLVM stuff, then have hung out in the research-y space ever since.

I'd always set that as my career endpoint, but lately I'm not as sure. I think my next step is working towards being able to work for myself creating products on the side, and working for others part time eventually. I realized I like working on other people's problems, but I have a lot of skill and vision in programming that I can use in other ways, such as product design. The idea of learning how to be more independent is very exciting to me, including learning about marketing, UI design, talking to users, etc.

After that? Who knows! Maybe I will teach part time, or write ebooks, or give trainings, or write games with friends. Computing is a big world and I feel very grateful to be able to move around in it as I get older.
Heh, I wrote a VAD from scratch when I was working at Sonos. Wasn't that different from any of these implementations.

You can add some basic spectral analysis and make it even better, with minimal latency implications. "Cepstrum" and "spectral entropy" are some valuable search terms to apply to this.
If you need any sort of numerical programming, C++ is basically unmatched. It's fast and efficient (have total control over memory and heap allocations), while able to create complex math abstractions thanks to its template system and operator overloading.

For example, Eigen is the only library (not in C++, but in the entire programming space) that can optimize your math expressions at compile-time. You can also perform techniques like auto-differentiation by using templates. Meanwhile, Rust still doesn't have full const generics, which are needed to create a math library that's both efficient and easy to use (nalgebra still depends on typenum, which is much uglier than even the most esoteric C++ template stuff you can find!)
