Redis is doing just fine, PostgreSQL is doing just fine. They are both real open source.

The performance improvements are not worth the legal/compliance overhead of adding non-FOSS to my stack. Much less so if the performance improvements are due just to some optimization choice in the underlying system. In the next 5 years, it will be easier to have Redis adding the io_ring optimizations than for this new project to become uniquely better.
Why Reproductions Are Required

Companies that use leetcode in interviews are rarely worth the effort or risk/reward to interview for. Getting into a like FAANG dev team is doable by anyone memorising that stuff, but it's rarely worth it.

Try out talking to a recruiter, and find a job with a senior that can help guide your career. Your self-esteem is pretty low, and a good senior and mentor can guide you out of that rut, and into being a senior yourself in no time with the amount of work you say you're putting in.
Big time... these employers are not going to be there for you when you are a frazzled, empty shell, so this is a bad deal. Only in that sense can OP be considered a "loser", in terms of the fact that the bargain that has been struck here is appallingly bad.

In all other regards, I am confident that OP is a wonderful chap.

I get those quite often. As far as I've been able to tell, they're typically someone else sharing my first and last name, and they're using a Gmail address without the '.' in my usual first.last@gmail.com address. Gmail doesn't care about the period, so firstlast@gmail.com gets to me as well. And only me... You might think that if trying to access utilities, or apply for a job, you might use an address you can actually receive messages on.

At this point you can probably use ChaCha8 (ChaCha20 but with 8 rounds instead of 20) seeded from the system's crng and be fine in most cases. Xorshiro is fine is most cases but is obviously not statistically perfect.

I don’t know, but it almost certainly violates your bank’s terms of service to share your password with Plaid.

If Plaid is every compromised in a way that leads to a loss of your funds in your account (probably unlikely), your bank likely has no legal requirement to make you whole for that, if you shared your password with Plaid.

I just don’t think you should share your bank password with any external entity.

This thread is an amazing distillation of hard earned advice. For me. Do something physically challenging. Do a long distance walk like the Camino de Santiago, climb a mountain, do some cycle sportives. Travel, read philosophy and physics, watch Mike judge films. Live as cheaply as you can. Your brain is telling you it's time to change things.
I can relate to quite a lot to what you said. First of all, you need rest. I am not talking about weeks, but rather months. I once was in similar situation and it took almost 5 months to start working little, another month to start working full time.

I would also recommend therapy. I felt very directionless too, and therapy improved my life significantly. In that time I really gained courage to change things in my life and go my way.

My final piece of advice is to go freelance. A while ago everyone wanted to work in a startup. But the startup life has made me very cynical. It turned out you give so much to a company that is not yours, and owners will really exploit everything you've got while trying to hustle you out of the ownership. In the end you work for their futures and money, not yourself. The only people that were truly happy working for startups I have seen were freelancers. They were paid fairly, had no unpaid overtime and did not have to participate in that shitshow.

I am also bad at networking, but there are ways around it. It looks like you have a lot of experience and a broad skillset. There are freelancer agencies that can help. Usually they screen potential freelancers, have a interview and then they find projects for you (also I am getting best paying jobs through agencies). The main advantage of freelancing for me is that I am paid for every minute I work and not more. As a result, the employers don't abuse your time, because they have to pay for it, and you can control you time and work-life balance way better. Also I earn much more than I used to.

I wish you all the best and would love to hear from you in the future. Let us know how you are doing.

EDIT: Also, you are not a loser, you are human. Everyone in your position would feel the same, everyone learns through experience. I am very happy for you that you are asking these questions at 28. It took me 4 more years to do it myself.
I read that in the Wikipedia page. There is some obvious argument involving repeatedly switching sides and whatnot, and it has some subtle logical flaw. Why bother with that at all.

OK, but let's look at it:

1. Denote by A the amount in the player's selected envelope.

2. The probability that A is the smaller amount is 1/2, and that it is the larger amount is also 1/2.

3. The other envelope may contain either 2A or A/2.

OK, here is where this argument got seduced by the multiplicative thinking. The correct reasoning is: let's call the smaller base amount A and the larger one 2A. One envelope contains A, the other one 2A. That's it.

3. If A is the smaller amount, then the other envelope contains 2A.

4. If A is the larger amount, then the other envelope contains A/2.

Here, the argument is splitting into cases because of the IF, and in these two cases, A has a different meaning.

5. Thus the other envelope contains 2A with probability 1/2 and A/2 with probability 1/2.

6. So the expected value of the money in the other envelope is:

This is wonky. The overall two-envelope situation has an expected value, not the individual envelope.

The correct view is that if this is the richer envelope, it contains X more money. If it is the less endowed one, then it contains X less.

1 1 5
- 2A + - (A/2) = - A
2 2 4

7. This is greater than A so, on average, the person reasons that they stand to gain by swapping.

That calculation is wrong though, by itself. That issue should be attacked directly.

Separate calculations have to be performed for the two cases: A is the smaller amount and A is the bigger amount. For each of these cases, the expected value from both envelopes has to be calculated.

The way the above formula is doing the expected value calculation is off because it's equivocating on A.

It ends up working with two unrelated quantities: 2A and A/2. 2A is four times bigger than A/2. A is simultaneously denoting the smaller amount and the larger one.

8. After the switch, denote that content by B and reason in exactly the same manner as above.

Yes, and if you do, you will end up with 5/4B. So that can't be right and the whole remaining argument about infinite switching being irrational compared to just opening an envelope is superfluous.

Reading this reminded me of myself so here's what I did (not a doctor so keep in mind that this may or may not apply to you):
A) Kick porn out of your life,
B) Seek a good psychiatrist or psychotherapist.

A) is, imo, most certainly something that you need to get rid, it's way too damaging and you initially don't notice this until many years into it. And yes, it can become an addiction.
I'd also consider C) looking for professional diagnostics targeted at ADHD.

It's manual for now, ROAPI is designed for slowly moving datasets. You just hit the data update API to force a refresh.

I have plan to add automated streaming data update in the background, starting with delta lake tables. It should all be very straight forward to implement.
But the problem is explicitly about swapping before opening any envelope.
Fyi, you can achieve something similar tailored to your own preferences by using a tool like rssmix.com plus the RSS reader of your choice.
When I was 28 I had been bouncing around startups for almost a decade. I had met some smart people and worked on one or two things I was proud-ish of, but I hadn’t really learned much in years, and nothing I had done was very notable. No college degree, kind self-taught web programmer, very little CS knowledge.

The startup I was working for was going under, and I got serious about finding a job where everyone would know more than me. The prospect of unemployment/insolvency didn’t hurt my motivation!

There wasn’t leetcode then, but I hit the books in a big way, having already flunked some big name interviews over the years.

The thing is I had been picking up CS a little at a time, and that time the books were still hard but not hopeless like before.

When I actually did the next round of interviews no one was more surprised than I was that I could avoid getting completely run over in a whiteboard interview.

The thing is the crazy-hard ones are regrettably common, but they say more about the interviewer than the candidate. Leetcode questions routinely involve tricky identities that you just have to know and other stuff that is absurd to ask in 30 minutes on a whiteboard.

There are lots of interviewers at prestigious companies who ask very reasonable (“leetcode easy”) questions. People do pull out the upper-division combinatorics crap, but that’s stupid, not you.

Getting a truly challenging job didn’t fix all the problems in my life, but I learned so much, so quickly that it re-inspired me about my career in a way that never went away.

So: 28 isn’t too late, you don’t need a CMU degree, and if cast a reasonably wide net you can find an interviewer who isn’t a jerk. You’ll still need to know about some CS stuff, but not the upper-division or even graduate stuff that pops up sometimes on leetcode and in some interviews.

If you fail a whiteboard interview and you’re like “damn I should know that”, study a bit more. But if it’s some off-the-wall shit: it’s them, not you.
Even more reason for them to get a decent work life balance. Who do you think makes more trouble for their collegues: a hypothetical mediocre developer who is overworked, or a mediocre developer who works normal hours and has two hobbies which fulfil them?

I'd bet my money on the first producing more trouble. The latter one is not centered around coding alone, so they are more flexible.
Virtually all of this is laughably stupid, but there's one thing buried in there that's true today:

> Mobile will be the only computing people have access to and they'll need to be more aware of data pricing.

For the vast majority of the planet, mobile is already the only computing they ever use.

> There's no reason to think telecoms won't take advantage of their position to increase data prices under the guise of maintenance for the towers.

This, though, is straight up wrong, since in any competitive market data prices becomes a commodity. In India you can get a 1 GB data plan for 15 rupees (~US$0.20) per month. Emphasis on the "competitive" bit there though: as usual, Canadians will be screwed.
Yep 100% pure powder. It is so strong that your post nasal drip is sweet after using it

I mix some into a big jar of whey protein, close it up and mix well. That way i can get my preferred brand of protein with no additives to have just enough sweetness to be palatable when combined with some blueberries and dates.
My 4 cents (of course, all of them are easier to say than done - I'm aware of that but still):

1. Stop working so many hours

2. Take a break from programming, try to do something else in your free time (best if outdoors!)

3. Try to build something for your own from scratch (side-project) - doesn't need to be something marketable, but at least to solve one of your problem (e.g. automating some boring task etc.)

4. If you struggle working with coming up with your own solutions maybe then try refresh your knowledge about basics of programming? Sometimes it might help and you'll never know what "gap" you have that might become your "A-HA!" moment ;)

Good luck!
Yes.

The big problem is that you can't have a uniform distribution on the natural numbers.

(And by extension, you can't have a uniform distribution on the rounded-to-integer version of a distribution on the real numbers.)
Acceptable workaround, though. I don't mind when people XY analyze my problems, often those with experience in a field will be mindful of details that I did not know.

For what its worth, I've got at least 23 (service --status-all) daemons already running on this desktop. So leaving things running in the background until they are needed has precedent.

- A quotation comes to mind, ~"for math you only need pencil and paper". Indeed, Hungary is not the most resourceful nation, but sciences (and sports) that didn't need big upfront investment did/do well. Maybe for football, all you need(ed), was a ball. Nowadays it might be more industrialized, so competition is higher. But in sports that attract not much media, like canoeing and fencing, I heard we are still near top.

- Hungary is geographically at intersection of cultures - not west, but not completely east either. It was often partitioned, either physically or mentally, between camps - Turks vs Austro-Hungary, Austrians vs Hungary, Soviet Union vs Hungary. This might evolve people who can cope with ambiguous situations. Not sure if this can translate directly to scientific mindset... but more practically, maybe lets some minds with great insights to escape to the West during troublesome times, giving them opportunity to show themselves. On a related note, maybe success needs not only academic excellence, but also navigating delicate politics?

- We have Ulti (not so popular today) - https://www.pagat.com/marriage/ulti.html. Said to be a card game greatly challenging for the mind. Ok, more trolling here, probably various nations have their akin games as well.

- Jewish focus on education. IANAJ, but read that the culture fosters prioritizing education of children above others. While some people might spend a fortune buying a fancy car, Jews would invest into personal tutoring of children etc. Read that the Polgár's lived in a stock concrete flat under not flourishing financials, but still got a full chess book library for the daughters, personal trainers etc. And not all, but many of the emigrants seem to be of Jewish origin.

This.

I have seen eager but untalented persons build their skills and their portfolio over a couple years. To the point that had I been told this at the beginning, I would not have believed it. In a particular case, the person - at the time a low qualified technician - embarked at 26 to become an engineer, and by 38 is one of the most sought after engineers in his field.

Self confidence and willpower are factors that can overcome innate talent to a very large degree.
Thank you Alex. I'm configuring that now.
Would you recommend this over sports?
Yeah, I missed that they were the sole engineer. That changes things dramatically.

Yes, there is a way to guess better than 50%. But it's a bit weird:

You pick an arbitrary threshold, if your envelope is below the threshold, you switch.

(You can add randomness as necessary.)

The Monty Hall problem is easily resolved by imagining there are a million doors instead of just three. The host opens 9,999,998 doors, revealing goats behind each. You'd obviously switch doors to the one the host left closed, and the reasoning you followed will be just as valid for any number of doors including 3.

This problem is completely different, since the number of degrees of freedom remains fixed throughout the decision process. As someone else pointed out, it is trivially resolvable by realizing that no matter how many times you switch envelopes, you're really only making one choice, and doing so with 50-50 odds of picking the more profitable envelope. The offer to switch amounts to meaningless magician's patter, whether the offer is made once or a million times.
No, I didn't mean that I cheat, and therefore everyone else cheats. I meant that the one time he got to see what's going on, he found that nearly everyone cheats. Unless he has some evidence to the contrary, a reasonable conclusion is that cheating is near-universal.

Evidence to the contrary could be, for example, that this class was very different from a typical class in some way, etc.

The difference is that you can always redeem UST for LUNA, which directly results in minting additional LUNA (the total amount of LUNA in circulation increases when UST is destroyed), while the same does not happen for debt-based stablecoins.

In the case of DAI and other debt-based stablecoins, there is no minting of additional collateral when liquidations occur or when debt is repaid (the total amount of the underlying collateral in circulation does not increase when DAI is destroyed).

This is the main difference between so-called "algorithmic stablecoins" (e.g. UST, FRAX, USDN), which rely on internal collateral (whose supply can be arbitrarily expanded/contracted by the controlling entity) and "overcollateralized debt-based stablecoins", which usually rely on external collateral (whose supply cannot be arbitrarily expanded/contracted).

Treating these two different things as if they are the same is not particularly insightful.
I am a 65 French and I agree this is hypocrisy.

The quality of spoken French goes lower years after years. The generation before me spoke a much better French than my generation even if we are supposed to be better educated. The same goes for the generations after mine.

Most speakers on TV, most journalists and even school teachers are using a small vocabulary (to be better understood?) and they make gross errors. Commonly they are using the wrong gender ("le porte", "le vis"). Most of the time they discuss in a "meta language" that has no meaning ("la météo va s'intensifier", "les prix augmentent à cause de l'inflation").

Many school teachers have not a good understanding of French grammar.

The article you linked to says the result of the war was Finland ceded land to the USSR. It's a strange war that ends with the Victor ceding land to the defeated.

It's also a strange idea that a fully mobilized Soviet Union in 1945 could push the German army back to Berlin, but would be incapable of taking over Finland. Finland was there for the taking for the Soviet Union in 1945, but the USSR did not see any threat outside Karelia so did not pursue this. This would not have been much disputed at all back then.
