> but in reality they were the only ones that were silly enough to only think about work

A lot of people find passion + work align. It's ok not to waste your time watching TV, sports, playing games, art, and all that stuff people do to distract them from life. It is ok for your hobby to be work.

There are just enough people who aren't driven to work, that it bothers them. I can work 10 hours every day, and enjoy working that way on the weekends. Life is boring - if you're in charge of work, it can be fulfilling.

Agree.

The "only" major problem is this space is that you need to be "connected" in ways that the most anonymous mass-market products not.

Also, is easier to get into nasty competition, corruption and all that stuff.

Is not always, and you can get good customers being decent, but are problems more prevalents on the space, and is VERY important you NAIL your contracts.

The first time the gorilla (like government!) come for you, is nerve cracking! And you can't shield behind "social media" to get out!
Terrible suggestion. Full stop.
OP: Do not stop therapy.
Okay yeah, that shit is miserable but SF is pretty unpleasant. I mean, it's 55 F / 13 C in SF right now and 47 F / 8 C up here in Piedmont not that far away. An across the board 18 F / 10 C wouldn't be uncomfortable and San Diego is much nicer for that.

Though, of course, Hawaii is the dream. Pity no one likes to really work there.
Funny enough, I've only seen it at the Gymnasium (secondary level) and not in the University a few years later -- then indeed the usual symbols were the 'slashed' relations like you've described, or the bottom symbol: ⊥ in logic. Maybe it's an idiosyncrasy of a certain subset of math teachers.

SF is cold because they don't seem to insulate or heat any buildings. They build them like they are in San Diego.

I did joke that SF was the "coldest city" I've ever visited. It is 60 degrees outside... and 60 degrees inside, everywhere.

Now that was when I was couchsurfing with friends in their downtrodden Manhattan-level rent apartments. Considering the rents, the lack of insulation and heating by the landlords was of course scandalous if there was ACTUAL cold weather.

... I lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the time. It was probably -20 that day in Minneapolis, an 80 degree F difference.
I agree with the core of what you're saying, but CS has not existed for two millennia. It's fairly new math starting in the late 1800s at the earliest.

English commands are still SVO, but the subject may be omitted when it is able to be inferred. Some verbs do not allow inference, i.e. fetch or get. "Get water" may mean "[you] get [me or us] water", or it could mean you get yourself water. The subject is also not able to be parsed as a subject by putting it [the subject] as the first word of the object as "[you] get 'you' water" would mean the command to get water for yourself instead of "you get [me or us] water". Additionally, the uniform function call syntax does not apply to English: "Get(Water,[context])" is not the same as "Water.Get([context])", which is even more ambiguous that could mean "Get water" - see above - or that the water absorbed something like "Water get [it/salt/fire]". Also, to clarify Latin by "tradition" puts the verb at the end of the sentence.
It’s just a burnout, happens to everyone with the same career.

You need to take time off (just pay for health insurance) and concentrate on health and sport, sleep, hobbies and other not-work-related projects that were lucking due to demand of work. You will fill better very quickly, and maybe will have desire to work again in two-three years. You will know when it comes - you will be excited about some new project. For now concentrate on essentials ^^^.

(I’m at the end of my burnout cycle, so it gets way better eventually)
> An NDA isn't a particularly impressive feat.

I think you're underestimating how bad people are at keeping salacious secrets about celebrities.

Remember when Bear Grylls had to apologize for the "stranded on a desert island" show, after people on Reddit claimed to have worked on his production staff and revealed that he spent the night in a hotel and had help collecting the material for the shelter he built? If Derren has been using stooges throughout his career, it beggars belief that the same thing hasn't happened to him.

> If the show is real the abuse carried out by Derren far surpasses the abuse of other cancelled shows like Jeremy Kyle.

Yes, he has been roundly criticized for many of his hypnosis stunts, e.g. [0]. Are you now suggesting that those people are all stooges too? Do all stage hypnotist acts rely on actors?

> Oh and I wouldn't touch Ketamine... Go trip on acid or do some ecstasy...

Uhh, I wouldn't recommend any of those substances that casually, especially if someone's not mentally at a good state. ESPECIALLY ecstasy - it can easily be neurotoxic if you don't know what you're doing, and leave you with permanent brain damage or death.

Also quick addendum - I'm not at all saying that these substances can't be amazing and helpful in the right situation... That last part is key. If you are well aware of the various risks (hyperthermia leading to death, serotonin syndrome due to interactions with SSRIs/MAOIs, "Suicide Tuesdays") etc then you may be better read and aware, but if these terms are foreign then please don't try such "hard" substances (MDMA is a stimulant after all).

Oh, and all this is not accounting for the risk of getting car/fentanyl cut in your tablet.
A lot has changed in the three weeks since they took their poll, I'd be very surprised if some of these numbers hold true today (for instance, this claims only 47% under 30 believe Russia has intentionally targeted civilians)
The problem with this is that you need expertise in the area of interest to know what’s good or bad research, what’s commonly known, and who generally is doing good work. This is too much to ask for the general public in areas like biology, which is why we have experts to filter the information.

The collapse of trust in expertise only widens the possibility for junk to be pushed through, which will result in a terrible self-actualizing cycle. When you see on social media “I did the research and found…”, all that means is someone put something into google and read something that fit a confirmation bias with zero criticality or training on how to interpret what they read.
Wow, we're about the same age, but by most metrics, you've been so much more successful than I have.

FWIW I've long believed that many people should progress into a mentoring role at some point in their life. I've had that role several times in several different niches, and I love it, and it's extremely fulfilling. You could easily spend 20 years helping to raise and influence future generations.

If you aren't finding a suitable mentoring opportunity at your current role, I'd recommend looking at volunteer organizations. It can take a while to find a good fit, so don't give up if the first one doesn't work out for whatever reason. But, in general, I've found volunteer organizations to be full of passionate, youthful (if not young) people who are really energizing to be around. I ended up volunteering a lot with search and rescue because it fit well with my other interests, but there are myriad volunteer organizations looking for good people from all kinds of backgrounds.
They’re taking what they can. The language isn’t getting the adoption that it would have if it was as good as the small community around it claims that it is. It just comes across as a cult.

I have found that when I feel lost, it's usually an indicator that I'm missing one leg of a three-legged stool:

1) Mastery: I need some skill that I feel like I can work at and improve; ideally at a level just at the edge of my competence to continually stretch myself

2) Autonomy: I need to feel like I have the ability to direct my efforts to a certain degree. With your financial resources, I would think you have this one covered.

3) Purpose: The work needs to provide meaning and align with my personal values.

Note that these don't need to be defined by a vocation. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with using a vocation to fund whatever activity/activities meet the above. Ironically, that helps give even a dead-end job some purpose.
Do you volunteer at all? Teach or coach? It's time to start helping others, service and time is not only extremely rewarding, its always challenging as for there are always new people that learn in different ways. You've achieved and mastered business, time to climb a new mountain.
I hit 34 recently too, if you ever want to talk about pursuits and interests outside of of $DAYJOB hit me up. I'm trying to rediscover the ancient art of pen pals in the age of social media.
44 is pretty old to start having kids, IMO, and I would not advise having kids as a way to try to fix your own mental health at any age.
I've found a lot of joy in dance. It takes a couple months of lessons to get passably good at it, but the combination of music, human connection, and physical activity is a good combination. I can recommend Contra Dance as a good introduction and it's where I started. Accepting communities willing to invest in new dancers (e.g. actually dancing with newcomers as part of the culture, rather than letting them stand on the sidelines, free lessons before the dance starts, etc.), often live music, good snacks (pre-covid).
No no no. Never tell someone you do not know to stop going to therapy. Please be careful
The sale can be forced so long as 75% of shareholders approve and the purchase price is above the sale price during the offer period.

No idea about shorts. I would assume that the short seller would simply have to pay the original owner the end purchase price.
What I see is about the metrics of professional success. I'm not sure if its just the venue you are posting on (a career developer/startup forum) or if you truly encapsulate your life to these old events.

> Was the first person in the history of my university who was both a fulltime student and full time employee.

Okay? Why is that something to brag about. Like when you deconstruct that, is it really something to brag about? Its fine that you wound up having the capacity to excel in that situation, and have external validation that you did, but is the environment that pushed you into that really useful... for you? Congratulations on being able to provide for yourself and others. What are you actually interested in? What would be a better use of that bandwidth if a degree and professional attainment wasn't your goal?

> I’m really only working for the health insurance.

Come on. So half to 100% of the premium is paid by your employer. Okay. Is that really making a difference? You can likely keep the exact same plan without that employer and your investments should be able to cover that as well, if your past successes were really worth it (literally in this case) as described above, deep down you knew that right?

> But I've never been more unhappy and lost.

Back to my original point. Are these really the highlights of your life? That seems to be the primary point. You won the career-necessity game. You beat the wage-slave level.

Do you have other interests? Are you interested in having other interests? Sounds like you need serotonin and dopamine kickstarts.

> I told my therapist that I feel like I've hit my mid-life crisis, though not your typical one as I'm not going out and buying a muscle car to cruise high schools.

Not like other guys(tm). You're not special and your prior professional accomplishments have delayed you from accepting this earlier in life. Maybe you do need to buy the muscle car and see what you were missing. You might find that you like it.
Wikipedia mentions "5 deaths (1 from gunshot, 1 from drug overdose, 3 from natural causes)".
I'm 29 and lost, give advice. I feel old.
Ignore the other commenters this is good advice to give a man in a tough spot. If you find it yourself you'll be stronger. That's it. Life is tough and not fair, sometimes the people you rely on won't be there. The less dependent you are on others to get yourself out of a hole the better off you are.
If you can't find files, are you saying they're disappearing? I'm having a hard time understanding what the problem has to do with Drive specifically.

If people just forgot where they put something, it seems like you need to develop and practice some organization. I work with lots of clients and use Drive and organize things into folders named for each client, and then into separate categories based on what the file is. It's relatively easy to find things.

If I happen to forget, then I've found the search works well. I use the cloudsearch page at cloudsearch.google.com
I'm coming to the realization that I spent all of my young years working and it kinda pisses me off. There isn't anything I can really do about it now and I've kinda come to grips with it. I had my midlife crisis in my late 30s and got into motorcycle riding. I realized how dangerous that really is so I got over that after a few years without any serious injury.

I suggest finding a hobby that is hard. I like shooting. It's dangerous enough to be exciting and difficult enough to not easily master (if ever), and it's deep enough to keep my mind occupied. I try to go every weekend, spend an hour at the range and feel better on the way home. It also gives me something to look forward to every week. We have a few outdoor ranges in the area so I get fresh air and more outside time too.

You can go deeper by learning how to break them completely down and cleaning them, making your own ammo, or even some minor gunsmithing. There's also a lot of categories. There is target shooting, speed shooting, shooting skeet/trap, long range rifle shooting, lots of stuff.

Shooting might not be for you, but try different things and see if anything piques your interest.
Here's another dictionary (https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/amazing):

1. Causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing.
1.1 [informal] Startlingly impressive

Did pointedly ignoring common usage add anything here?
I think in any rate there's something to be said for just taking a proper break for an entire year if needed. Why not take a year to just focus on raising the kids, sleeping in if you can, taking it slow and easy. The energy should come back if you give yourself time.

I also agree that lifting weights is a very good idea, but don't stop seeing your therapist.
A lot of comments have said "stay in therapy" or "quit therapy", but my immediate reaction is that maybe you have the wrong (ineffective) therapist and need to switch.

My spidey sense went up when you mentioned what "you told your therapist", full stop. I was at least expecting "what my therapist responded" or "what my therapist told me that didn't work". That really (spidey sense, no evidence really) implies that your therapist is having low impact.

I've had half a dozen therapists in my life. What I realized is there's a huge difference between most therapists and good ones. With a typical therapist, not much happens, you phone it in and they don't notice or call you on it. A good therapist somehow has a way of listening and then catching you properly off guard at least once or twice a session. They can stare into your soul and see through your bullshit, even when you don't notice the bullshit you're saying. If you don't feel that incisiveness, perhaps it's time to start shopping for a new therapist.

Therapy really is a 100x profession.
Usually the public facing keys are restricted in a number of ways to help prevent abuse. E.g. they'll have strict rate limiting, fine-tunable scopes, domain restricted, can only be used in conjunction with a server-side secret.

E.g. Stripe has a publishable key and a secret key. The publishable key links the checkout session to a particular Stripe account, but you can't actually initiate a checkout session without setting a session ID from the server (which requires the secret key). If the 2 keys don't belong to the same account then the checkout session will fail.

Yes, with some services you can proxy requests via your own service. But how is this more secure? If anything you've just increased the potential attack surface.
What country doesn't regulate free speech?
Everyone currently holding $TWTR believes that the true value is greater than the current price.

To make a successful hostile bid, you need to pay not just "more than the current price", but "more than the holders of 50% of current shares believe the company to be worth". Usually bidders use analyst price targets to guess at the distribution of holders' internal price targets.

This is what makes it so difficult, and why this bid is very likely to be rejected.

(This is easier to explain with a white board, tbh.)
The only way it would be too low is if the stock price went up above that.

Reality is it's under that - signaling that it is in fact not too low.
Selfish question to sharing such intimately: what are you doing to meet new people?
Continued inflammation over time has some connections to cancer, but it must happen over a long period of time in order to initiate a cell mutation.

What does historical volatility have to do with it? If Elon can basically manipulate his investment into a 22% return why on earth wouldn't he do that? A single person able to pressure a single commodity to the tune of 22% is bonkers.

I'm not debating whether that will happen, just contending your first statement.
The chain goes Heat -> Inflammation -> Cancer. It is well known that inflammation causes cancer. It is one of the biggest and often underlooked causes of cancer in obese individuals.

Memes are a new type of language, a development supported by technology that is in some ways comparable to the rise of remixing music.

I don't think they will be ridiculed to the same level as I hope our current social media behavior will be. They will more likely evolve to new levels, when the methods of remixing media expand and they become even easier to create.
Sounds great, but most drugs fail before Phase III.
I haven't bothered with Windows' built in search (explorer, and god forbid the Start menu search) for finding files since discovering Everything

https://www.voidtools.com

I keep it pinned as the first item in my bottom row of programs so I can hit Win+1 to fire off an instantaneous file search whenever I want. It's great!
> - Can't manually type in a path

As a Windows user, recently I found myself within a new Ubuntu install. I wanted to view `/opt/` in file manager, but I couldn't find howto enter a path. A function that is really easy and intuitive in Windows Explorer. The first answer on Google was `CTRL+L`, which worked. But the stark difference of the ease of use between these two applications still baffles me.
Yes, I tried it just before writing the post (and multiple purchases over last few weeks). That's how I knew what the filter for newegg checkbox was called.

It's not that simple. For example. I went to my local auto store for a new air filter. Their system reported they had 1 in stock. Went to shelf. It is not there. What happened? Well, it could have been stolen. Easy item to steal. It could have been picked up by a customer and dropped elsewhere in the large air filter aisle and would show up next time a general inventory was done.
It could have been randomly dropped by a customer anywhere else in the store, or moved to a special display section then not moved back. It could have been purchased, returned immediately undamaged, then not moved back to the shelf... Physical stores are hard.

And Target has a far larger inventory.
I just picked this up, thank you for the recommendation.
You're totally right, it depends on the application. I was thinking of oil drain plug washers, which can be reheated and reused many times, basically until they are too thin to do the job.

That sounds like conspiracy theory nonsense. Is there any evidence for this beyond anecdotes that are probably Baader-Meinhof effects?

If it was happening, hundreds of people would be working on those systems, and at least one of them would have talked.
"Seeing this come from someone in the legal profession is deeply concerning, although I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a "Biglaw first year" is in favor of restrictions on speech that would elevate their corporate clients' interests over the public's."

Pretty dumb ad hominem, and demonstrates you know few young lawyers (lawyers on the whole tend to actually be pretty left, and young lawyers in biglaw tend often to be pretty far-left compared to the general population). The corporations are not too harmed either way, in any event, at least far as I can tell.

Personally, one of my main motivations to go to law school was to sort of shore up the center. I wasn't surprised people were stupid enough to vote for Trump, but I came to realize that this stupidity and the often blind hatred for "the establishment" on both political fringes posed an actual threat to society. My classmates/peers tend to be more staunchly on the progressive side of things.

Even conceding you know more about the history of mass communication than I do, I don't see how what you're saying supports either side of this. But this is useful context, so thanks, I'm happy to be corrected (see this is actually good speech because you're lending knowledge to the situation).
Personally I've failed with Emacs years ago, just tried it and decide that's a heavy and horrid mess, I re-tried it few years ago when I see it in action and was at that point in time that I realize it's power.

Emacs is one-tool one-job BUT the tool is just a function and functions can be combined like unix commands in pipes but in far more powerful manner and with far less overhead. Try seeing this: https://youtu.be/B6jfrrwR10k or this https://youtu.be/dljNabciEGg the real issue when starting without a friend of video-tutorials is that Emacs defaults are barebone and really old, the juicy things come only when you discover them.

The power of Emacs is not much Emacs itself but the classic desktop paradigm: anything is integrated so anything can be combined. You type some math in a mail? Why not have it rendered by LaTeX, since your system do have LaTeX support installed and why not solve the ode you are typing since you have a CAS? Why being tied on GUIs to cut&paste as the sole IPC? That's is. Is extremely powerful but so different than actual environments that most users fail to comprehend without seeing it in action...
True enough. Somehow bluetooth audio manages these issues.

I for one would accept latency and the audio going silent (or better, an audio indicator) if the connection isn't up-to-snuff but I don't know if other people would.
