"Another time our Data Science team told us that they needed an orchestration tool for their data pipelines. I steered the selection process towards Argo Workflows (which runs inside Kubernetes) instead of Prefect (a SaaS offering), which they already used for a PoC. There were all sorts of justifications in my head for this decision. Unfortunately, they were all based on premature optimisations. In the end, our team needed to build a new set of Terraform and Helm charts to automate the deployment of Argo Workflows and integrate it into our SSO etc. I regret this decision. I think we lost weeks or even months shipping something to end-users because of this decision. Premature optimisation!"

There is absolutely NO issue in adopting kubernetes, and then using SAAS for everything possible. In the above case, if you had a data pipeline proficient engineer in the team, you would not spend months to set up one. It comes down to making decisions based on your current situation (business urgency, team skills, future plans).

This is true, unfortunately. There is minimal social safety net in the USA for people like OP. This is partly due to the very independent, self-determination mindset that has pervaded in the US since its founding. US values hard work and perseverance. The moment you cannot work, you are treated poorly and are a second class citizen.

Showing you are willing to work, even if it's slow, is worth a lot. So I certainly echo the sentiments in other comments, start small and stay consistent.
Modern journalism is much more about selling the story rather than listing the facts and citing evidence. He did state that he experienced Altered State of Consciousness and that at least some students in 19 strong study did too. The result is unsurprising to me because that is a known property of meditation. The app itself combined traditional audio meditation techniques with a visual component, so the real question is what visual component adds to the experience. Given that audio stimuli works to help induce meditation, it is highly likely that there is a way to tie in a visual component in a synergistic way.

As someone who dabbles in meditation I would like to see a study with a lot more people split into 3 groups: control group who are put in same environment without anything, group with audio component only, and a group with both audio and video component.

P.S. in additional to audio stimuli there are many other techniques that can induce ASC: concentrating really hard (this one is for flow most of us are familiar with), smells, walking, breathing patterns (including breathing super rapidly and over oxygenating), dancing, yoga/exercise routine, etc.
Don't give them ideas, there's a Godwin cop-out waiting to happen here. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Don't you have to do all of this stuff even if you're not running k8s? Or are you complaining about a re-write/replacement of something that didn't need to be?

I've never had a medical condition that took me out of the workforce. It's sad that you've been dealt a bad hand in life. It's got to be hugely frustrating. You seem to have (correctly in my opinion) concluded that given your current limitations, there is no point in you applying for jobs. Most people who have been out of work for a year never return to the workforce. The majority of them might enjoy a "retired" sort of lifestyle. However, since you describe your life as "absolutely soul sucking", I would recommend that you remedy that by, from 9AM-5PM Mon-Fri, take the following drastic steps: Turn off the TV, video games, and aimless web browsing. It sounds like you are still capable of making money with online "gig" work of some type. Given your medical condition, you may or may not be able to perform the type of work you would enjoy. You should ask yourself what sorts of endeavors you are "world class" at, and then see if there are online gigs that are suitable for you. People who are detail oriented can make money at a wide range of online jobs. You should try to find an online gig type of job that makes you excited to get up in the morning. You need to make money, but you also need a reason to get up in the morning. I realize that the advice I've offered will not be easy. Most people in your situation would prefer to simply relax and take it easy. The easiest thing in life is to do nothing.
Here's a Twitter spaces discussion by Machankura:

https://twitter.com/Machankura8333/status/154359749561126093...

This discussion provided some additional information.

Operated by a South African, who spent under one month from ideation to launch.

The LN Nodes (Core Lightning) run on Raspberry Pi

Due to load shedding by the power utility, but on a schedule, an nginx reverse proxy is used to ensure traffic goes to a node that is expected to have power

The Machankura service charges a 1% fee on transfers (out ?) to cover USSD fees they pay, hopes to reduce that in the future.

USSD sessions have a 20 second timeout, so commands must be sent promptly. [I'm curious ... how could I type a Lightning Address on a feature phone in 20 seconds?]

Wanted to have support for an additional country (Zimbabwe) but the USSD service provider used, Africa's Talking, does not have USSD support in Zimbabwe.

Work had already been underway by a separate group on an open source SMS based LN-enabled (?) bitcoin wallet (bittext). Machankura is supportive of that as well, since it will provide coverage where USSD may not be either available or allowed.

As a custodial wallet, there may be VASP (virtual asset service provider) regulations in certain countries (e.g., Namibia).

Researching innovations (e.g., Blockstreams's GreenLight) to make non-custodial work as well.

Support for forgotten PIN does not yet exist, will cause user to lose any balance. Not sure yet if that will be added.

When a user loses SIM, they can get a replacement (provisioned with same mobile number) and as long as they know the PIN they don't lose anything.

If lost SIM and cannot replace (e.g., for reasons), user loses any balance.

No insurance on BTC balance. [Something to the effect of best effort to protect funds or something to that effect, I'm not sure what was said.]

Only similar is in Venezuela.
I assume they do that because local news isn't profitable and is always on the risk of failing?
I have a friend that was a doctor for over 25 years. Made great money, but ended up having a career-ending disability.

He had been buying disability insurance, the whole time (he says it was pretty expensive).

It ended up saving his ass. He makes more money from the disability insurance, and SSI (It is possible to get it, if you have doctors. Many lawyers also help -for a percentage), than many folks make, working.
I never found the app buggy. Some of the deals are pretty damn good. Free large fries with $1 minimum order...so of course you get the $1 drink and a burger off the value menu (McDouble, etc). A whole meal for $2.50...

Or if I want a tasty treat I'd get the free McCafe with any purchase and get an apple pie. $1.50 for espresso drink and a dessert?

And all those purchases add up for reward points.

Their deals change all the time and the above mentioned aren't there anymore as exactly mentioned, but there's a 6 piece Nuggets for $1 minimum purchase...

I also know I'm not the only one who does this for "optimal" pricing as one time at the drive through I hit the wrong coupon, the cashier rattled off the price before inputting my code...and had to correct himself when the price came up and looked at me dumbfounded wondering why I didn't optimize my order.

I had increasing difficulty with fatigue for years and it turned out to be Celiac disease. Then, I got type 1 diabetes after going GF to treat Celiac, which was a slow onset which made things very difficult for 1-2 years. My situation isn’t too different than what you describe, actually, even after diagnoses and treatment.

Have you been checked out for celiac? I had all sorts of unexplained health effects but the #1 thing was feeling exhausted all the time and falling asleep after lunch every day.

This is a big oversimplification the same way that the national news is a big oversimplification.

Many of the nation's best public high schools [1] are in the Bay Area - Saratoga (#16), Gunn [Palo Alto] (#18), Lynbrook [San Jose] (#33), Paly [Palo Alto] (#34), Monta Vista [Cupertino] (#46), Lowell [SF] (#59), Los Altos (#85), Mission San Jose [San Jose] (#89), San Ramon (#96), Homestead [Sunnyvale] (#101), Cupertino (#105), Amador Valley [Pleasanton] (#112), Miramonte [Moraga] (#114), Mountain View (#121), Piedmont (#127), Foothill [Pleasanton] (#164), and this is just the top 170 out of 17,000 (1%). That's a huge portion of the region. SF & Oakland get a bad rep because a lot of their schools have legit problems and they're lottery assignment, so there's no way to avoid them other than going private. But outside of lower Manhattan, Silicon Valley probably has the greatest density of top-ranked public schools in the country, beating out even traditional powerhouses like suburban Boston and Westchester County NY.

And yes, the region is a terrible place to live if you are blue collar, but that's because blue collar people can't afford to live in the region.

With respect to the chronic pain, I'd suggest some kind of embodied mindfulness practice to help alleviate the symptoms. I assume Western medicine has not been able to help you much on that front.

There are tons of techniques out there, some of which have been proven by scientists to help reduce the symptoms of chronic pain. I'd suggest you find someone qualified teacher, since doing some of these on your own might be dangerous.

If you are willing to go for something more out there, I'd recommend reading this book https://www.amazon.com/Meditation-Saved-My-Life-Tibetan/dp/1... (it's free on libgen). It's the story of a Tibetan monk which was tortured in a Chinese jail and developed gangrene in one of his ankles, which progressed to the point of almost killing him and destroyed his joint. Doctors kept pressuring
to have his foot amputated, but he sensed it'd be the wrong choice. Eventually, he went into retreat in his apartment and practiced some techniques for healing he had been taught in Tibet. Within a year, his foot was mostly healed, and eventually his body somehow managed to grow a new ankle joint.

The book is not explicit about what he did, but the two main practices he alludes to are called "tsa lung" (moving energy through the body) and reciting the "Medicine Buddha" mantra. I think you'll need an instructor if you want to practice "Tsa Lung" (the monk in the book teaches it, but he moved to France). But Medicine Buddha mostly involves reciting mantras and should be safe.

I don't have a lot of personal experience with the Medicine Buddha mantra, but reciting another mantra ("om mani padme hum") and similar practices cured a chronic depression that lasted more than five years. Saying "cure" is a bit of an understatement, because my outlook on life has radically changed. My external circumstances have not changed a lot, but most of the internal turmoil has mostly subsided. So on the base of that, I am willing to consider the possibility that a monk might regrow a joint by reciting a mantra.

You don't have to believe in cosmic blue Buddhas (in fact, the official position is that they don't inherently exist, just like you and me). I think of these practices as a technology developed by a culture that put the mind at the front and center of their inquiry into the nature of reality.

Here's some references:
- Medicine Buddha mantra (so you hear what it sounds like): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoGmifZperY
- A more involved practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on7kiQawZJ0

This second one is a more traditional presentation, so it might not be your cup of tea. But I am including it anyway just so you can get an explanation from someone qualified. Again, sorry if this is too out there. But again, I doubt you posted here because you wanted to hear the same answers you get anywhere else.

I think the parent's question may be insensitive, but not inappropriate. The core problem OP seems to be facing is a mismatch between their incoming and outgoing cash flows. If we take it as given that they cannot work, e.g. that their incoming flows are fixed, then I think it's a natural step to examine ways to decrease their outgoing flows.

Of course, that oversimplifies the problem somewhat, since any changes could worsen the situation overall, e.g. decreased mental health. Sitting in a bare room paid for by someone else and watching the wallpaper peel away has very little out of pocket cost, after all.

The counterargument is that homelessness and loss of medication would probably be far worse -- for example, it could be wiser to sell the car and live an ascetic lifestyle for 16-24 months until the disability appeals are processed, at which point the OP could return to an equilibrium. Stretching out the runway, so to speak.

Forming any actionable advice in this vein is impossible without a better understanding of the OP's costs, however.
> If you haven't already, I'd also suggest learning C.

Learning a new language is not something to take lightly. Should I take 6 months in order to get more solid foundations before moving to Rust? 1 year? N years?

My biggest hurdle has been ownership ("borrow checking", which is the common problem) in the broad sense (which includes: learning to design a whole program considering ownership). This is something that C/++ programmers are surely familiar with, so it absolutely helps, but I don't think it's efficient to learn C/++ in order to step up to Rust.
I regret finding myself in another one of those pointless internet debates but this is a subject I could write essays about so here we go I guess ...

Self-evident truths don't need to be based on anything because drum roll they are self-evident. You may reject that whole concept - that's fine, but don't ask me about your type of empirical evidence because it is not needed in this paradigm. I know self-evident truths aren't fancied anymore these days because they often lead to some uncomfortable conclusions that have politically been deemed unacceptable. "Absurd!", you say. Well consider the latest example, the Olympics: I would call it self-evident that males are physically stronger than females and thus should not compete against each other in most sports. I don't need scienctific research for that. Yet here we are letting trans-women (physical males) compete against women in the Olympics. Now isn't that absurd! All the "scientific studies" didn't help prevent such idiocy.

Now this example is easy to follow because everything physical we can see with our own eyes. With psychology it's a little more subtle but analogous self-evident facts hold!

Just like the male peacock or lizard or bell bird or whatever, which doesn't conduct or refer to empirical research when it comes to finding a mate, so do I as a male specimen of my species just inherently know what is generally (EMPHASIS!) attractive in and to females even beyond personal preferences and beyond myself as an individual - and do not require any scientific exercise for that SHOCK - JAWS DROPPING - WHERE IS THE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE!? Again, the predictive performance of that knowledge as well as general observations and experience only validate this fact.

P.S: Sorry for the "pseudo-intellectual" but it's not meant personally, I'm referring to the scientiVIST approach of (IMO) over-eagerly applying the scientific method to every aspect of life especially in the context of personal advice (involving psychology (a soft science)) which is what this thread is all about.

In training academic Pedagogist here: It may be worthwhile to take a two or day three reading of Rousseau's classic, "Emile; or On Education." It gives tremendous insight into how it is that adults can have positive relationships with the children that they might be governing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emile%2C_or_On_Education

Rousseau recommends: Night games, obstacle courses, Natural Method (Parkour), but in short the idea is to let the child be self-directing in their activities. In Rousseau's words, "to gain time by losing it." ie. don't try to direct their activities. Do what is necessary and dutiful in your own regard and teach through example and necessity; never through imposition unless absolutely necessary.
To me, it's probably good enough.

I mean any sophisticated adversary will use the traditional methods of bribery and coercion with violence to obtain intelligence and influence the course of events.

They're cheaper, more widely available, and more reliable than monkeying around with code, e.g. https://xkcd.com/538/

Yes it doesn't handle an edge case in the same way body armor doesn't handle a 20mm depleted uranium chain gun, but it probably handles the likely threats well enough.

And it is available at a price the city council is willing to pay when facing a we-must-do-something-this-is-something-therefore-we-must-do-it in an area where it lacks expertise and the money to buy expertise...good cybersecurity has a diminishing value for dollar curve.
This has nothing to do with capitalism, it is about engineers being overridden. You can find all kinds of similar hideous stories under communism, and more, with its fixation on central planning. Any system which decouples decision-making from local ground-truth wisdom will run into this kind of error.
> But any random individual asked for help in a city is likely to go well beyond their duty and be quite helpful.

Fortunately yes, though I think I'd still give the edge to small towns for this. In cities, people are a lot more wary of being scammed, since it happens more often in areas with more people.
Doctors checked me out for various things and then sent me to a psychologist who declared I had “health anxiety” when I was developing adult-onset type 1 diabetes. I had been in pain for months, every day, and lost tons of weight, then turned it around with a very specific diet (coincidentally low carb) and they acted like I was just being paranoid about food. It’s maddening how some doctors, for one reason or another, disregard almost anything a patient says.
I have been very successful in replacing a JS browser application with Rust. It has been great, because Rust is much easier to change, and since the application is complex, I need to change it a lot.

But I wouldn't recommend it in general, because JS (and for slightly more complex things, TS) is much easier to create because of all the old Rust features that surface every time you mention it. And most GUI code is simple enough that you only have to write once, maybe fix a few details, and forget about it.

Wasm would be much more compelling if it was target by higher level languages.

Good advice unless you’re a single parent, like me. I’ve resorted to allowing my 4 year old to sleep in my bed. Otherwise, I don’t get enough sleep and, as it accumulates each night, life becomes very difficult.
