(For context I'm a coach who long ago underwent various forms of therapy, and who now works with, is trained by, provides training to, and gets referrals from therapists. No specific vested interest / availability rn but I will share my experiences)

First, sorry to hear about your vicious cycle. Based on what you wrote it sure seems like you owe it to yourself to at least try therapy.

The process is designed to be gentle, so in general it's one of the easier activities to try in the sense of tolerating newcomers. For example if you are more comfortable discussing your "current status" and things you've tried, or might try, but not comfortable getting into your feelings, you can typically be forthright about that and expect a reasonably assuring response.

If you have specific concerns or fears regarding therapy, IMO it's a good idea to write them down and see if they pan out, or share them with your therapist as an objective way of showing that you are bringing your best circumspect self to therapy. They may also help by providing additional context.

In case it's also relevant, my professional area of interest, personality dynamics, involves the ways in which people work together well, or don't, and so I'd also note that it is often a good idea to try multiple therapists and see which pairing (you & them) is working out. People have personas / personalities into which they naturally self-organize, and if that persona is not one you enjoy being open with in a therapeutic setting, it may be time to move along.

Personally, I once had a therapist who was engaged with some clients (particularly those who enjoyed sports) yet he literally fell asleep on others. Another seemed disinterested and burnt out. These things can happen. But I also had another therapist who was fantastic for me--he told really funny jokes, recommended very useful books, and was really brilliant in lots of ways that were relevant to my situation.

Since you're coming from tech AFAIK, one thing I'll mention is that a lot of us tech people also make really good critics. We can sometimes shoot the messenger (therapist in this case) too easily, especially if we start earnestly researching what we think they are trying to do for us, and where they get all their ideas, and so on.

If this may apply to you, it's a good idea to focus on the things you are _trying for yourself_ and what the objective _results_ are. If you can measure those results (scoring your day, etc.) for example, all the better.

Anyway, just some thoughts, hang in there & good luck.

There are minor quakes. When the College of Nanoscale Science built the facility for the now defunct G450C initiative, they poured concrete like 30 feet thick to stabilize the building.

Unfortunately while the physical infrastructure was resilient, the business didn’t survive the university president’s conviction for bid rigging. Iirc like $150M of equipment was written off and sold as scrap.

As someone who works on a sensor platform that connects to a seriously arbitrary list of weird things out in the real world to pull data from them, some of which are so poorly documented the only way to work out what baud they are over UART is by just brute forcing it til it looks right: yeah it's very similar. And I need to go fight with this flow-meter now (which is Modbus, but with some of the weirdest data type encodings across registers I've ever seen), wish me luck :')
If you did a Spring tutorial, I can see that this might be the takeaway. For me, I was thrown at a large project with a couple of large Spring codebases, I concluded that it's about structuring your code around an object graph with independent, testable, loosely coupled components.

I've used AWS for 12+ years. In the old days, we had one jumbo account that we separated by tags for projects and billing. It was a pain.

Then about 5 years ago, AWS suggested that we use the multi-account strategy. I changed jobs and decided to go with Control Tower, AWS Orgs and the multi-account strategy. I spent more time writing automation to supplement and write terraform and python code to build supporting infrastructure to tie accounts together, enable the proper services and networking in all accounts. The automation for build a new account grew and grew and became a behemoth. There's no API for Control Tower and the process of setting up a new account with MFA enabled and all of the bells and whistles enabled is such a pain in the ass that I consider the AWS multi-account strategy not worth it AT ALL anymore I don't care how much it reduces the "blast zone" it's a monumentally stupid idea.

You should try to put all of your eggs into one basket and manage access to your resources inside of IAM instead. Use tags smartly and you'll thank me in the long run.
Also most 4K videos on internet (except your recorded HQ file by camera or latest phone) even below 100Mbps so it's fine. Even in UHD Blu-ray, it's 128Mbps max.

Thanks for the tip about Zooz, they do look nearly identical may have to pick up a few for additional switches.

I have had no need for any additional documentation for all of the GE / Enbrighten switches I have installed in my house. Other than how to wire it and how to get it in pairing mode, what else is there?

Oh, good. We should be safe, then.
All of those things you can get by cheating. But cheating is never winning. The whole point of a game or sport is that it ceases to be a game when you go outside the rules.

Yes, many can square this circle in their own heads and convince themselves that anything goes. Some, like Lance Armstrong, will enrich themselves enormously. But none of them will have “won”.

80% of the way through the article you can read what actually happened. It's not that the Feds were incompetent and kept a "seized wallet" thinking only they had the private keys or something like that.

The wallets were simply protected by a passphrase and Larry couldn't be compelled to give the passphrase. The feds even told the judge they didn't have control of the funds and they could be moved to family/friends before it happened.
It appears that chess.com was handling the matter discreetly until Hans made the issue public. It would be unfair if it turned out that the other GM's also challenged chess.com publicly.

The idea that "virtualization" began with Zen in 2004 is rather difficult to read as an early VMware employee. Before QEMU independently discovered it, VMware was JIT'ing unrestricted x86 to a safe x86 subset from 1999 on[1]. Hardware support for trap-and-emulate virtualization came to the market in the early 'aughts after VMware had proven the market demand for it.

I really don't know why people insist on polishing this turd.
A game is defined by its very specific set of rules. This can easily be seen in chess, which has a huge variety of variants. Or how one, minor rule change in baseball and you've got people wondering if the Hall of Fame even make sense anymore.

Once a set of rules are defined, competitions and tournaments within those rules are meant to determine the best people in that game.

When a player cheats, and rationalizes it as "only matters if you get caught", that means the cheater is playing by different sets of rules from his opponent. They are playing literally different games. If the two opponents are playing different games, it completely undermines the purpose of the competition.
How could they possibly have so many underperformers? I thought they did leetcode interviews which find all the A players. Weird.

What is unprecedented is hitting 0% interest rates nearly everywhere worldwide. When things hit this point, economies are forced to deleverage, to which economists refer to as an 'economic deleveraging'. National economies have gone through deleveragings in the past, and has so far played out in 3-4 ways:

-a period of high inflation (which sometimes lead to the collapse of the currency)

-a period of deflation (either via a bear market, or a rapid crash)

-a long period of almost 0 economic growth (stagnation - AKA 'the soft landing').

-some degree and combination of the above 3 scenarios.

Like everything south of 175th Street in Chicagoland is Downstate Illinois. Indianapolis is in the center of Indiana, so they call everything outside the inner ring of suburbs {first half of city name}-tucky, as in a pejorative reference to Kentucky.
I'm in agreement about those examples, and maybe we agree overall to the extent that for me, "way more than formulas" includes working directly with data. I think the ability to interrogate data directly adds to the ability to think quantitatively. It was just not practical to do when I was in school. And the blizzard of formulas is an obstacle to learning for most students.

Thank you. I tried a JetBrains product and Visual Studio but VS was both faster (on my Mini Mac ARM M1) and the visual aesthetics were better--not to mention the overall IDE experience was very comfy, it felt like VS was strictly made for C#.

I do want to branch into F# and FP but i didnt want to miss on the C# train so i tried it and it blew my mind how well the language has been designed (i mean at C# 10, .NET 6). They even made the Java-esque boilerplate thingies become automated so the code reads and feels almost like a better version of Javascript.

I am a new programmer (with only Intermediate Python and tid bits of CS under my belt) but i think choosing C# for a language made sense because of all the things you mentioned, and it also helps that it is aesthetically very beautiful, and worlds apart from C and C++ in many respects.

It’s like ‘seizing’ a copy of digital pictures by a well known photographer (or a hard copy of the camera film reel) without actually being in control of the original pictures.

And being surprised that another person got access to the photos and sold the originals on the market to another buyer.

It didn’t require breaking into the police evidence locker to make copies.

The key difference here in this analogy is that with pictures the cloned digital assets might have some value but not securing the original keys is like not securing the copyright.

It does but you have to go through the maintainers and they have to be in line with the core principles of SQLite and have the necessary code quality etc.

I.e. it's hard to a point you can just say it's impossible for most people.

But what the author of the article fails to mention is that many of the things libsql wants to add to sqlite are in direct conflict with the core principles of sqlite.

E.g. SQLite: Max portability by depending on a _extreme_ small set of C-Standard C-Functions. libSQL: lets add io-uring a Linux specific functionality more complex then all the C-Standard C-Functions Sqlite depends on together.

E.g. SQLite: Strongly focused on simplicity and avoidance of race conditions by having a serialized & snapshot isolation level without fork-the-world semantics (i.e. globally exclusive write lock). libSql: Lets make it distributed (which is fundamental in conflict with the transaction model, if you want to make it work well).

E.g. SQLite: Small compact code base. libSql: Lets include a WASM runtime (which also is in conflict with max portability, and simplicity/project focus).

> (Your cite makes no mention of 2008/2009.)

Incorrect: "One may look to politicians’ statements. Even in the Obama-era “stimulus” spending, the administration emphasized promises of eventual debt reduction. " And I have more to say on it later.

My cite is from a world-class economist, not from some random person on the Internet.

> One one hand, we have thousands of years of history with what causes inflation.
> On the other hand, we have one instance.

Again, you are assuming facts not in evidence, you assume your version of reality is correct, likely because that is what economics text books taught you, because they also assumed it to be the case, these assumptions do not make it true.

Perhaps those thousands of years of history actually agree with my version also. We don't know what people were thinking across those thousands of years of inflation history, it's possible they were thinking our governments(such as they were) were not trusted to pay it back, as generally speaking, governments that go on large spending sprees tend to not pay it back very well. It's hard to be disciplined with money when there is very little incentive to politicians while in office.

There is no rigorous proof of what causes inflation. There are many well-educated guesses and your perspective was the common wisdom for a long time. That doesn't make it true, no matter how much you want it to be.

I'm pretty sure my version is also wrong, but it's at least an interesting perspective rather than "money printers go brrr inflation then always happens".

> Recall my other post here about how making loans creates money, and paying the loans back destroys it.

I don't agree with the second part of this sentence. I completely agree that the banks create money out of thin air when they decide to loan you $100k. But if you pay it back, more money is created as part of the interest payments on that $100k. If you don't pay it back:

> Bankruptcy destroys money.

True.

> I wonder if all the bankruptcies, defaults, haircuts and writedowns removed a vast amount of money from circulation, and the deficit spending simply filled that hole rather than creating more inflation.

The US government made money on it[0]. I'm almost positive there is essentially a zero percent chance of making any of the trillions we spent in 2020 back. We have to pay all that borrowing off somehow, either we raise taxes or we inflate it away. It seems like we are on the inflation train version for now at least.

Though perhaps your comment is also partially true, there was some bankruptcies(one might argue not enough). A quick web search didn't turn up any good data on the amount(s) though and I'm to lazy to do more research on it, but if you have done some, I'd be interested.

> Cheating is only a problem if you're caught.

I don't agree with blanket statements like that but I think there's a kernel of truth in your mindset that many people are oblivious to.

Chess, as a competitive game with meaningful stakes, is obsolete. It became obsolete when the first computer outplayed the reigning human champion, and it's been gradually becoming more obvious. Recent events have started to demonstrate precisely why: people are becoming better at cheating at chess way faster than they're getting better at playing chess.

Several absorption peaks for water lie within the microwave range, and while it is true that these peaks are caused by quantization of molecular energy levels corresponding to a single frequency, water absorbs radiation across the entire microwave spectrum.
>Uber turned off $100m of advertising and found no meaningful change to its installation growth

This is misleading. Ad networks were defrauding Uber by generating fake clicks so such that organic installs of Uber would be attributed to these ad networks despite the install not being from an ad.

> Khrushchev’s mistake

This is a Russian / Kremlin talking point.

No, its worse than that. Elon Musk has adopted the language of the Russian side entirely with that tweet. "Khrushchev’s mistake" is not a Western talking point from any legitimate person. It is exclusively a Russian idea and Russian concept.

It'd be as if some Western official started defending Hitler's Lebensraum. There are words and meanings that specific sides use. Elon used an incredibly wrong one yesterday.

This isn't "Chamberlain" level of mistake. This is closer to Nazi sympathizer or German-American Bund level kind of talking here if you want a WW2 era example.
