Well, the way I deal with it is I know someone on twitter who shares the half witted insigths he shares with his two kids and think to myself, thank god that's not me.
I got married at 45, I now have 6 children. But children , just like having a spouse - as wonderful as they are -don’t make a life.
Others have pointed out trying to have children, or adopting, fostering - but you can also invest time in mentoring and supporting. Lots of busy families would love to have a couple give them a date night. Lots of kids would love to have a mentor - really high quality time without a lot of the hardship of responsibility. I know people who are unable to have children who have invested in others and have very rich relationships. It is not the same as having your own, but it can be amazing and deeply fulfilling
>From talking to friends, I feel this is a very controversial opinion to have and I don't really get why. Any help to make me understand would be greatly appreciated

Answering with only my perspectives:

Working from the office is a tilt in favor of the employer because they dictate the location.
WFO is the historical norm, so until WFH is equally normalized, calls to WFO feel troubling.
Given the two points, any employee support (perhaps rightly) can and has been used by employers to justify returns to office and limitations on WFH.

But ultimately, these conversations are good to have.
Useful tip, thanks. I never enable JS on my machine, starting up a VM as I type.

Hmm, is it me or does the 440Hz sound seem higher pitched than it should? I'm not a musician at all but the 330Hz sounds closer to what I'd expect.

If you're calling "secret chats" the default, then you should ask around or try to use telegram on desktop or just open telegram and see how much stuff is actually encrypted.
Well yes. But in that case a password is security through obscurity.

I struggle to think of any security scheme that doesn't rely on knowing something the attacker doesn't.

So unless you want to write everything off as STO you need to introduce some nuance into the conversation. IA seems to me to be a useful nuance.
> My life is now dominated by regret every day. I just can't get over that feeling. I've tried many things like therapy, counseling ect. It only helps for a little bit but I am still doing therapy. Some nights I wake up with panic and stay up all night with shallow breathing and high heart rate.

I deal with it as follows:

* Everyone is my child, I may have not birthed them, but I can have a parental feeling to just about anyone (person, animal, group etc.) in general. When a chance presents itself to give/contribute, do it.
IMHO Reservations in AWS are good if you have a US Bank Account.
Why? Because there is a secondary market (run by AWS) where you can buy and sell reservations.

If you have a 1-year project that will have a 1-year extension, then get a 3-year reservation (with some amount upfront) that you can sell.

Your second best option is a Savings Plan.
Don't forget 2FA from shitty European companies! And pizza delivery notifications!

Jokes aside, I see SMS as a useless protocol; because it cannot be used for identification, and neither can anything be encrypted nor verified without another communication channel.

It's also not in the power of the end user to decide whether or not their number gets reassigned, blocked, or does work at all. Most US people seem to think that it's normal to have "one" number for years on end. For the rest of the world, it's not true.

For example: If I don't use my SIM card to make phone calls (which get billed) for 6 months, it's gone and reallocated to a different person.
Fantastic comment, totally matches my perspective as a father of three. Not letting your old self go leads to all sorts of problems, severes your relationship with both your child and your spouse, and is a sure way to remain unhappy. I see a lot of this in new parent families around.

Original post mentions staying in touch with other parents who are in the same situation as yourself, and it indeed helps a lot — eventually everyone start chatting about things like children’s sleep problems, chickenpox, school fees, car seat brands, or whatever, which helps normalizing the difficulty you’re going through.

Trying hard to hang out with your old childless friends, on the other hand (if you can afford their schedule), is a road to hell.
True, but what if life demands? :_(
There's also always second order effects or externalities which this incentivizes engineers to hide or play ignorant about. To ensure group cohesion other engineers also have an implicit incentive to not bring them to light. So they get their bonus and in three months the cost savings is undone as those come to light.
Either-or obviously desktop. But why either-or not both and an iphone as well. The form factor is so different. And if you develop with lots of internet and book/pdf to reference.

You can ask me to choose TV or ipad or even in reading novel kindle or … obviously not job setting but it is just different tools.
I really hope SMS keeps on going - it's as a solid of a protocol as email is - no matter where you are, as long as there is a mobile network, you can send a text message.
I guess that varies from country to country. In Spain, it's WhatsApp for everybody with Telegram recently making inroads for specific topic groups.

SMS is used by companies to send notifications and asking for confirmation, even (ouch!) banks. I haven't sent one in more than a decade.
Adding to the above: Biological children with your spouse is not the only option. Adoption or fostering are two other. But again, it sounds like this is projection more than anything else and your mental issues are not actually caused by you not having had children.

It sounds very likely that even if you magically had a baby with your SO tomorrow, this would not be the "solution" you are looking for. Maybe it wouldn't be long until you feel the same level of regret over having had a kid, only now with an additional level of guilt.

Raising a child should be about the child first and foremost, not about you trying to resolve your existential crisis.
That's first person plural, not second person btw.
Huh?! These days you are perfectly capable of having kids at your age. In fact, it's not just these days, my grandfather and grandmother were in their mid-40s when they had my aunt. If you really don't believe me then I would recommend having a conversation with a doctor.
Huh, how cheap is that? I’m almost always in wifi range, so I got the cheapest plan I could find in Germany (4€/month, so 48€/year), and even that still includes 1 GB of data (I do need the data, to sync my shopping list for example, but I’m curious how low one can go :D).
> This was the single worst decision I've ever made in my whole life.

Trust me, you don't have any idea. You can't tell that until both you and your kids are dead.

Starting from the moment when your wife gets pregnant, when something strange shows up during the examination, through the trauma of birth, then colics, the first major illness when you have to spend nights with your kid in a hospital. If you are lucky, you never have to deal with anything more grave. But this is a random game. There is no guarantee your kid won't become the cause of your biggest worries in your life.
It is also misused in color printers which leave a repeating pattern of small yellow dots encoding model, serial number, and so on, so your newly printed money will provide a nice paper trail back to you.

Also, yes, handling of colors and color combinations is a very old topic, just that this knowledge isn't given to us by birth, but through learning. Which means there will always be someone stumbling over this and make another post delving into (some of) the details. As long as it brings others up to speed, I count this as a net win. One can just hope that the history isn't lost entirely eventually ...
What you mean is it's extremely difficult not to produce shit software with a setup like this, even though paradoxically the theory is that this should produce higher quality software.

The reason for this is something called tacit knowledge. The only way for a developer to be successful is if they have the same level of understanding that product does. Since they don't, product needs to be the one implementing. Since neither happens, you get shit software.

The solution is either product starts implementing or software developers stop being treated as line workers.

product used to be three roles that worked together. software dev, business analyst, and marketing. And depending on the size of the company, business analyst and marketing often means working directly with business because that's who collaborates between those two.

There is no value-add in product, the theory has proven out to be untrue.

Give it another 10-20 years and we'll be reading articles about how the "smart" companies are doing away with product and giving it back to the other roles and asking them to do something crazy like talk to each other.
In my experience, I've developed closer chemistry and more socialization with my team while we've been fully remote, than when we were in person. There is a generation right behind you that is raised on socializing online, that may find it more rewarding than you're willing to.

I was amazed to learn, a few days ago, that you can send/receive SMS via Signal. It's like being able to send faxes from google hangouts; unencrypted paid messages just seems completely opposite to what the project stands for.

Which is not to say that I can't see the rationale, but I didn't know and it surprised me.

The next thing I wondered is how much work it is to maintain two entirely separate messaging systems in one app. How much did this drag them down over the years? I agree with you and hope that it can finally get Signal moving forward, there are so many missing features compared to Wire and, especially, Telegram that it is currently a pretty tough sell to move anyone away from Telegram.

@OP : Sorry to hear that you are suffering.
To give you a bit of perspective - I think couples who have kids will regret some bit of it. There are things that are inconvenient , there will be missed opportunities either way. So don't think that the feelings you have of regret will go away if you have kids.

It's a conscious choice: You can use IVF / adoption other means to have kid(s) but be aware that once you take the decision of having kid(s), you can't really go back even if you feel helpless,anxious etc:)

I saw a Swedish "dream house" TV series where someone installed something like that, it cost a small fortune and I don't see the big benefit in it compared to "normal" mechanical ventilation, maybe with heat recovery.
It’s not random chance to be hacked then have your emails woven into malicious conspiracies. It’s a crime.

The DNC favored the Democrat over the independent. That’s to be expected. The voters picked Hillary. The conspiracy that it was stolen from Bernie was pushed by Russia. It’s literally public record in the Mueller report. I don’t recall if Russia started it but that’s irrelevant. A large organized foreign propaganda machine can seize on something like that and push it far. Russian agents still run many Bernie Reddit and Facebook groups. Just follow r/ActiveMeasures.

Increasing Hillary’s dislike and distrust was very clearly a goal of foreign operatives. It worked.

You cannot point to any one thing and know for sure it was the difference maker. Trump barely won. Any one of 6 things that served to suppress the vote may have made the difference.
Different jurisdiction to what? :)

My UK-based employer seems nonchalant about expecting me to agree to be subject to the laws and courts of California in order to receive internal company newsletters delivered via a 3rd party.

While I agree this is harmful to the user (or unpatriotic, if you prefer), it's extremely common thanks to the state of the global economy since the 1980s.

I'd wager that 99% of people in the UK would now be unable to contact their friends and family without relying on at least 1 large U.S. company.
Absolutely keep going with therapy. The healing journey might take years, but that's perfectly ok. The worse your mental health issues, the longer that journey takes.

Also, consider adoption. Chances are there are MANY unfortunate kids out there who need a loving home. Just don't think of your adopted kid as the child of a stranger. It will be your own child in every conceivable way.
You're talking about mistreating some children for the benefit of others. These are people, not an algebra problem. Do you hear yourself?

Well, that seems to be what is going on, judging from the messages I get from older and younger relatives.
I'm not sure what you mean about a reassigned number? Do you mean that people risk getting a new number, whether they want it or not? Because that shouldn't be an issue - I believe all of Europe (at least EU) demands that the customer can transfer their number to a new provider or whatever, whenever they want. So maybe you mean something else?
Ghidra has function id databases, but only ships with signatures for relatively modern visual studio.

You can create your own signature databases, although i have been unsuccessful in my brief attempts.

The algorithm is different from flirt though.

Its roughly, mask a bunch of stuff (relocations, etc), and hash whats left. There is some parent/child analysis for ambiguous calls i believe.

My recollection is flirt also masks its version of a bunch of stuff, but builds a trie of the first xx bytes with some provision for needed values past that, and some parent child analysis. They have a paper on the algorithm you can google.

Ida ships with more signatures out of the box, In my experience.
Although i havent seen them listed anywhere.
I wouldn't say Elixir is really close to Ruby syntax. I see Elixir more like the "Scala of BEAM VM" (but that doesn't really do Elixir justice).

Interesting, here in Germany, almost everyone I know has Signal and WhatsApp with some people using only one of them. Telegram I encountered from one US American living here, and from people into conspiracy theories.

chips are critical for so many things, each "zone" of the world should have its own capabilities to build leading-edge chips, and probably with international collaboration on R&D (like ITER).

I don't think the global economy can "fund" properly more than the current number of actors of this industry, namely each of those zones would have to consider what would be its "local" leading-edge chip manufacturing as a "military defence"-thingy: making money out of it would be optional.

Interesting article. I had the same realisation which I coined the phrase ”everything is not for you”.

It’s the idea that even things termed as good might not be good for you; especially in the long term. Our time on earth is finite.

It involves choosing a focus and cultivating the attention to stay on track. It also involves being comfortable looking wrong in the short term.

> It will be years before Ghidra

Can you elaborate? I would really like to see what the HexRay decompiler does better (or worse) than Ghidra, but I am too poor to buy it (and dogbolt.org is not interactive, so I cannot edit function signatures to "help" the decompiler etc.).

Is it better in general, for a specific programming language or platform (e.g. C++, Windows), or for a specific use case (e.g. obfuscated code)? I heard about their cloud-based stuff, although I don't know what they are exactly doing there. Maybe ML trained on source code? Function signatures of the latest malware?

After several hundred hours with Ghidra, I think it certainly would need some polishing, in particular:

- UI. Too many frequently-used dialogs are not optimized for keyboard usage.
- Decompiler too stubborn sometimes, ignoring user input (e.g. manually specified types).
- Decompiler needs better heuristics for the treatment of some common cases (e.g., often doesn't recognize for-loops and array accesses)
- Quite dangerous: Sometimes the decompiler gets lost, especially if a function contains handwritten assembly code with unusual control flows. Okay, can happen. But instead of displaying a warning it just shows you the part it could decompile and you have to figure out by yourself that something is missing.

But most of the above issues are fixable. Instead, I would be interested in learning about more fundamental differences between the two decompilers.
I was 41 when I had my son, and my wife was nearly 45. It's certainly not too late.

I'm not clear if your wife definitely can't have kids, or if she doesn't want them.

This was mostly properly scaling down things that didn’t need to be up all the time (as far as I understand it, I wasn’t part of the effort). We do already have a system that shuts down services when they’re not needed (based on tags, so presumably sort of the same thing).

There is a possibility we don't know enough about parent's medical history. I was also surprised. Based on my current understanding, upper limit has been 45 for women ( for men it was always way higher bar a medical issue ).
Kind of makes me anxious about having kids but I have also heard, on the other end, senior people expressing how gloomy it feels to not have kids. And unlike the tiredness of having kids, that anxiety only grows forever till the day you die and all you leave behind is a nice car.

Signal having SMS is the only reason for me to use it. The decision was specifically made to insist on people using their phone numbers it's rubbish to demand that and then yank this functionality.

If it doesn't support SMS I have zero reasons to use it I may as well use anything else that had less friction.

I liked your application enough to pay a reoccurring subscription, removing this functionality means I've cancelled my subscription.

I recently had a boss tell me that the two hours I used to spend standing on a packed train being coughed on by other commuters was "your time." I must conclude that the parent poster either has a similar worldview to that boss, or has someone who takes care of the chores for them so they have more time available for wakeboarding.

The 1-3 hours that I have to spend being fucking fried and incapacitated after concluding another packed, overly-long workday are, likewise, "my time." Such a blessing.
People are different. Some like remote more than office, some other way around.

Having said that, as someone who really enjoyed the startup scene + offices (in Tel Aviv) I now enjoy a lot more my work being remote. I feel I have enough social circles I need to maintain as of now, and I don't need more people to have deep connections with. I can now be effective at my work, while spending the extra time I have with the existing connections (family, close friends) instead of commuting, going to an office which binds me to new social circles which can be awesome, but it means less time for existing ones.
