You've got several great strategies here along the ETF / Index Fund / Vanguard route, which I would endorse, as well as some subreddits I know too well!

JL Collins's 'Stock Series' is an excellent set of articles / blogs that I've recommended to heaps of people over the years - https://jlcollinsnh.com/stock-series/

It helped me, and in turn my beautiful wife and several friends, properly understand the WHY behind these kind of recommendations. It has expanded over the years - my advice is to read them until they get boring, because the boring ones are probably 2 steps ahead of where you are today. You can return later. Good luck!
How does AGPL can make a company trying to sell a software* as service vulnerable?

*Assuming it's not a memory-store as a service, obviously.
As the article mentioned, adding 2FA is solving the issue.
Ironically the new TSMC plant is being built down the street from a place that uses dynamite for its rock quarry. I live about the same distance from the quarry as TSMC is and I can sometimes feel/hear them when they use explosives. I wonder if they know yet, lol.
A lot of ultralights use an airfoil that is pretty informal, as there are fewer ribs, and the fabric billows a bit. I don't know if that's the case here.

Guess what those 500k/year FANG devs are doing? They piece code together, polish the rough corners a bit and call it a day.

> feeling like a loser

You're right here, the startup owners are exploiting you. You need to develop some social skills and cynism. There are many grim books on this topic, and my top two picks are "gervais principle" and "48 laws of power".

> struggle with LeetCode

LC is a very narrow skills test. There are just a few building blocks you need to learn: binary search, hashmap, priority queue amd so on. Every LC/interview question is a mix of those building blocks: you just try them one after another until something sticks. No creativity needed.

> unable to concentrate, riddled with brain fog

Brain fog is probably poor food choices. Ability to concentrate must be trained. It's a big topic by itself, but the essense of it is you pick a simple thought, a basic shape for beginners, and try to focus all your attention to it. It's like trying to write it into your video memory by sheer will alone.
not worry about $ as much

AFAIK the wages PhD stipends are pittances and make it very difficult for someone without money to survive, especially for non-STEM programs. If anything doing a PhD makes you worry more about money because you can't earn enough to survive
> Why are these two things mutually exclusive?

They aren’t. They are different, and one is actually the “idea behind prices in a market economy”, and the other is an academic argument, observing the fact of price setting in a market economy, for why price setting in a market economy is valuable to others besides the direct participants in the individual exchanges.

> Aren’t they, in fact, mutually dependent?

No, there is a one-way dependency between them. The normative argument depends on the fact, but not vice-versa.
> Pricing adjustment helps if there's a arbitrage on cost to run vs amount charged. There very well could be if mining uses more power and the increased power cost is material.

Ideally, the amount charged would be a sensible reflection of real-world costs, including power usage (perhaps with occasional concessions to provide some measure of pricing stability to customers). Otherwise, it’s no surprise that customers will take advantage of that arbitrage.

> Pricing adjustment doesn't help if cryptocurrency mining is being used to generate income from VMs leased with stolen credit cards. Might be more useful to have a CPU limiter that eases up as the VM (or payment) ages; although if that's not public knowledge, it will lead to support requests.

Then the problem is the use of stolen credit cards, not crypto mining. I could just as easily spin up a botnet, or scammy gambling/warez site, or a spammy email campaign, or a myriad of other things that could negatively impact the business’s finances or reputation. The right way to address this issue is to improve the KYC process so that such cards cannot be so easily used in the first place.
This is more like missing doors/door locks than machine gun fire.
This is all very career-focused, but there's other important facets of your life.

How are your relationships? With your family/friends?

When you walk through a cemetery, you don't see "here lies John Smith, full-stack software engineer who earn $250k". You see "here lies John Smith, beloved husband, son, father, etc".

Try to think about what values are most important to you, and what you can be doing to attend to them.

Is money a value? Probably not. Maybe it's really financial security.

Where does family rank? Do your actions reflect their position in your hierarchy of values?

Love, honesty, faith (if you're religious) are some examples.

Love is a really important one. You mentioned being a "loner". Are you making time to find love? A good partner can be an absolute rock, a bulwark against all the shit out there in the world.

Landing a $250k a year job might be a great ego boost. But if it's at the expense of other areas of your life, that ego boost will be fleeting - trust me.

That's not to say you shouldn't improve your career position. Absolutely, go for it! I'm just saying, make sure your values are in order, so you're focusing on the right things. :)

Honestly, it sounds like you’re a great developer that works hard and cares about doing a good job.
It sounds like you’re judging your abilities based on your ability to do LeetCode problems.

You’re not giving yourself enough credit for what you do. I think you’re a person that most companies would love to have.

If you’re looking to not do the LeetCode grind and start to find companies that care about more than how fast you can solve a LeetCode hard problem, I’d recommend taking a look at www.NoWhiteboard.org. There’s a bunch of companies on there not using LeetCode to find developers and the interviews are not limited to take-home only. There’s a good few that will do conversation-based interviews, and want to interview you in a way that will let you show off your strengths.

Please don’t judge your self-worth by your ability to get a new job, or by how much others are doing. I believe you can still have (and already do have) a very fulfilling career in tech. If you didn’t care, you would not have created this post.

Disclaimer: I made www.NoWhiteboard.org. Let me know if there are certain interview formats you’re interested in, and I can do my best to find companies that will align with your interests.
I've been so much more productive since I scaled back my hours from 60-70 to never more than 40.

Rose. Don't be so down on yourself. Maybe you're just on the brink of blossoming.

You just need to do it! It's not the models and theories of phase change— it's the phase change. And perhaps you shouldn't be pursuing all the things you think you lack. Do you feel the work you have done is meaningful? It's not yet having the impact you'd like??

Abraham attracted many followers but they were not all inheritors of his mantle and his mission. They were not all loyal to the mission he passed down. Does that mean that he was not successful? Of course not, he's the most successful of the patriarchs because his success includes Yitzchak's and Yaakov's success.

Your post does not seem to consider the creation of money which is a contemporary issue: cuz #crypto.

Maybe you should be making money. Literally creating money instead of trying to "make money".

If you're familiar with the process of titration and the cornucopia of similar processes it must build up and up until the process reaches the point of phase change — and then: the titrating step.

It's obvious why people give up along the way.

But for those who stay and do not sway: night can turn to day.

EDIT: maybe the key is to intensify, like when striking a match— to light a fire. Intensify into a spark, you have ample kindling!
We can't even use Photoshop, even if we wanted to: other than a few outlier macs used by iOS developers, 90% of our computers is running Ubuntu, and surely we aren't that addicted to do run Photoshop under Wine.

Exactly - the grandparent is asking “can a true copy left / Free Software license protect a young startup from Amazon reselling their software”, and my assertion is no, it cant.
When GPT-3 came out it was very hard to coax even with prompts. Then OpenAI made Instruct GPT-3 and it suddenly became malleable and much better at taking a hint. I bet prompting is going to become even easier with time, so it won't be a skill one has to learn over years of practice anymore.
I applaud those efforts, and think it was high time we turn our attention to objectively measurable criteria for efficacy. Maybe I also hope focusing on energy consumption can lead us out of our current eternal-september situation with browser apps and frameworks we have to create and use working as IT freelancer/staff giving me a sense of cognitive dissonance.

Step 3 (and thus also 1 and 2 on reflection) stands out to me immediately as describing two different situations for the entire game.

Not really. It’s become a design trend to send a confirmation email but then not require it. Part of reducing user signup friction. Then later you might prompt or push the user to confirm or mark users with unconfirmed emails as a higher abuse risk.

If the cost to entry is lower, but the costs to maintain is higher, to the point where it’s a wash or worse (according to some comments on this thread from people managing education tech), why wouldn’t you use the de facto standard?

We should almost certainly phase out Diablo Canyon. However, only because we supplant it by bringing on more newer and safer plants in more seismically stable locations to replace it. Replacing it without a plan just increases fossil fuel usage or results in outages. In the interim there should be very good plans to shut off the plant in case of a natural disaster.

> Is this guy the standard bearer for decency? Going into full on personal attack mode when someone disagrees with you.

In this context "human decency" is a more like a euphemism meaning "on board with our political program."

Though I suppose this could also be a case where someone is so deluded think the only way to be decent it to be on board with their political program.

The term "hate" can also frequently be read similarly.

Greetings neighbor and fellow traveler.
Here's a few ideas.

* Do nothing. "Doing nothing often leads to the very best of something." - Winnie the pooh

* Stop going to work. "I don't like my job and I don't think I'm gonna go anymore." Peter from Office space.

* Let it all play out. My uncle Coydog used to say, "You got to let the river take its course." Well, what does that mean? I don't know. I used to ask him the same thing. He said, "We all in that river, boy." "And the river know right where it's going." Ptolemy Grey

* Be content. "Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you." Lao Tzu

* Get into Philosophy. "Philosophy molds and builds the personality, orders one's life, regulates one's conduct, shows one what one should do and what one should leave undone, sits at the helm and keeps one on the correct course as one is tossed about in perilous seas. Without it no one can lead a life free of fear or worry. Every hour of the day countless situations arise that call for advice, and for that advice we have to look to philosophy." - Seneca
Yubihsm can do that. Not sure about yubikey. It’s called export wrapped. Here wrapped means the export is encrypted by another key first. The only catch (feature) is that the key must be created with this capability on its initial creation, you can’t export a key that disallows exporting.

> the US government subsidizes the overproduction of food so that we do not experience famine in the event that a significant portion of the food supply gets taken out (e.g. bad harvest, drought, etc).

That's the first time I've heard that reasoning, and not that the farm lobby had enough power to obtain subsidies. What evidence is there that the subsidies (from taxpayers to the farms, many run by large companies) are driven by some kind of famine protection?
A no-config Emacs has a rapid startup time - it's instant on my PC.

> or an acceptance of “fit your workflow around Emacs” than it is truly a solution, which would be to reduce startup times.

I don't see a problem with this. Emacs is a general purpose platform, and it's silly to expect really fast startup times if you're using it as a general purpose platform. People aren't expecting Linux to have an instant startup time if you have a large number of services running - why expect it from Emacs?

Constant overtime is a clear failure of management.

You are a cog in the system. The next level up in the system plays with the cogs they have influence over, including you. If you are ever working beyond your contract, then your boss has failed their job.

It may be that your immediate boss has been put into an impossible position by the next level up (and so on) but that is NOT your issue, it is theirs.

As a human being, you might be inclined to forgive another humans failure. I know I do. And this is good for society in limited amounts as no human is perfect.

However at the point of constant overtime of even 1 minute - every week for months on end - it is clearly abuse. Get out now.
While I enjoyed some of this video, I felt it was, at least, 20 minutes too long. It covered too much of his other projects, and it's title, perhaps, should be charged to note that.
Interestingly, mentalist performers often hone their skills with a nearly identical sort of game, and use elements of it in their routines. You've probably seen a mentalist have their spectator think up a word, and it happens to be written on a billet sitting face down on the table in front of them all along. There are several methods for doing this, but the most impromptu "prop free" method is all about verbal tricks.

If you want to look into it, the term you want is "verbal force" or "psychological force" which just means forcing a word or idea through verbal and psychological means. Kinda like that "elephant in Denmark" trick, but more organic and conversational. Derren Brown and Peter Turner are two of the best for this technique, and Derren being (by far) the more famous one.

This is effective for mosquitoes for two reasons

First, because they lay eggs in standing water. Second, because mosquitos are relatively weak flyers compared to other flies. They often only travel a few hundred yards from where they were born during their lifetime.

So removing standing water is an excellent way to keep mosquitos at bay. If you can't, applying BTI spores to the standing water can target their larva.
You asked for directions.

In this order:

1. Write a resume and publish a professional profile site. Just you being honest, in your voice, describing the hard work you've put in, the achievements you're most proud of, and what you wish for your career. 95% of networking is putting on a public face and making it public. Last 5% is asking for stuff, like jobs.

2. Talk to your boss. Show him your resume and site. Ask for a raise and less work hours. Tell him you're burning out.

3. Depression will creep on you, and it will happen before burnout. But depression will have you thinking negative thoughts, fog your brain, and drain your energy. Diet, sleep, and exercise will help immediately. Not being lonely also (dating successfully/being in a relationship with someone who is healing). That being said, depression and your life are completely separate. You could be 10x better, richer, better looking, and still be depressed. So try to keep your depression separate from your ego and your professional struggles. Depression is its own problem. Treat it on its own terms.

Everyone successful in life that I know do all of the above ALL THE TIME.

This is a checklist only the first time you do them. But from there, they need to be routine. Always be searching for jobs, always be negotiating with your boss, and always stay on top of your mind and body and keep them happy also.

That'll provide new constant tailwind, and new direction. And as you keep at it, your site will improve, your relationship with your boss/es will improve, and you'll begin to feel a heck of a lot better about absolutely everything.

One last tip on negative talk. Your post is extremely negative, just based on the word count of sadder, more negative words (stuck, unable, loser, wasted).

A healthy exercise would be to write the same thing without those words.

"I've been working hard for 10 years and am still patiently waiting for a big break. I work extremely hard, and never complain. I work at a startup and have been handling all of their programming from the day I started work."

That's saying the same thing. That's someone struggling all the same.

Now, most realists/literalists can only see the world and write about it one way. Optimism is but a point of view. But here's how to skip this debate entirely with others (like me) and yourself.

Just make it a point to do positive. Make a positive difference.

Let your negative mind speak, but don't act on any negative impulses.

So to go full circle, do something on the list of three things above to make a positive difference each day.

Look for positive, do positive, and be the positive difference. Your words and attitude will follow.

Lots of great advice in the responses. I'll say also start diversifying your life so you draw meaning and connection outside of work too.

You might want to start small, pick some activity / hobby that meets periodically for some small number of hours and don't ever let yourself be persuaded to skip a turn.

Start there and you might have to rotate until you find your niche - sports, book clubs, non profits - but don't give up on that. A couple of hours in a week to start with should be very doable - unless you are encumbered by a ton of family responsibilities.

Gradually you'll gain perspective and the ability to make bigger leaps. Good luck!
