The Virus has been sequenced to death. Gene editing technology leaves traces. Hard to explain, but it's partly because of the technology and partly because evolution erodes statistical anomalies in a certain way.

There is no plausible way to "gain of function" your way into a pandemic Virus. Researchers can make a Virus gain a function. Usually by making it lose a few others. There is also no plausible way that an unmodified Virus collected from labs just happens to be the next hot shit on the pandemic scene. If there is a Virus with that potential, you wouldn't need researchers and a leak from a BSL-3 lab to make it go viral, it would just happen on its own.

Russian railway on verge of collapse as bearings run low
I was in burnout pretty bad while working for a big bank in my country. The work was very stressful, lots of office politics even though they paid pretty well, and my boss were nice (with a lot of pressure lol). I just thought I was not a good employee because I was tired all the time, then I started my company. My gosh, the work was (and still is!) 1000 times longer, harder, everything is so so bad and need addressing all the time YET I am no longer feel burnout for a few years now (since I started my company). For me, the burnout is not related to the workload or the complexity of the work--you need to ask yourself a question: why are you doing what you are doing? Is it what you want? Otherwise you will always in burnout until you find your mission in life.
I think it would be really good for most people.

Oddly enough, it probably wouldn't be that hard, or even trivial if you are already a contractor
Why not adopt? I have several friends who were adopted by slightly older couples and it was the greatest thing that happened to their life. They see their supportive parents as their "real" parents and are really grateful they were adopted.

As a SW Engineer I have to say that this would not really work without some healthy dose of abuse.

Mangers at one of my previous workplaces were very vocal with "everything is running with slacks" so whenever I gave them an estimate on how long a feature would take to implement or a bug to be fixed (bugfix estimates are BS to begin with but...) they took it and multiplied it by 0.75 at most. Then bitched about it when it was over the time they assigned. Guess what happened.

Exactly this would happen with a cost-cutting incentive as well - if managers told us "reduce cost by 30% to the end of the year" then the cost would creep up to begin with. Incompetent management making stupid rules and stupid incentives is what drives me nuts :) .

The devil really is in the detail: "you need to give the agent some of the incentive so their interests are aligned with yours". The vast majority of employers don't pay SW Engineers enough and don't incentivise them enough so they give a shit. This really has to be a company culture, not forced but lived especially by managers, then it would work with engineers as well.

I was burned out in 2015, and abandoned the entire field in favor of a move into law enforcement. That didn't end up working out, which is for the best, in retrospect, because what I wanted wasn't a job with less thanks and more danger, but a job that I felt was worth getting up in the morning to do.

What eventually worked for me, was switching from operations to infosec, and switching to a new (to me) company, where I was able to pre-vet my chain of command, making sure I wasn't going to run into the previous problem, that of working for someone or someones who have squandered their chance to earn my respect for various reasons. Thus far, it has been highly successful. Not only do I not feel burned out, I am relatively excited to start working when I wake up, and kind of have to restrain myself in order to maintain personal life boundaries. At night, I'll spend time thinking of new ways to solve work problems, because it's fun, not because I'm stressed out or obsessed with completing a given project or task.
Completely agree with your assessment.

Let's discuss language first then.

I do not think every weakness is a vulnerability. Were it so, then all things are vulnerabilities to some agent or entity in some sense, since weakness is often defined in relative terms.

If another system is easier to use for say, signup. Then of course the system I propose will have to leverage its strengths to make up for the fact that it is harder to join. But there are plenty of nightclubs and restaurants that one can just simply not get into unless they know someone. They're often the most acclaimed.

If the system I propose leads to a celebrity's ouster then the mechanisms and business orientation of the system would need to leverage that ouster to its benefit after, of course, making sure that the system as designed only ousts truly irritable people.

One may say, "but if a given celebrity attracts many people and their ouster would lead many of them off of the platform how can this be used to our benefit?"

But it is precisely this dynamic that the system that I advocate for has as its chief strength! Those that would leave merely at the call of a scorned leader despite having a more fruitful and productive conversation on the platform are those that are most probably least likely to positively engage with the platform in the first place.

Additionally, Netflix falls into one category of website DHH writes about: unpredictable, significant bursts of traffic. When they publish Tiger King during the pandemic there’s a spike in streaming no one could have predicted. When people finish the show it goes away. The arrival time of the next breakout show is likely uncertain, even if it can be modeled using a statistical distribution.

As a parent with grown children, my greatest joys are when they come and visit us. I am very happy to know that as we grow older, our children and grandchildren will be a part of our lives. I can't imagine how lonely I would feel if I knew I was getting older with no children.

Being a young parent with young children can be extremely difficult, but it's the most effective way to overcome egoism and selfishness that I've ever experienced. And the joy and slow anguish that comes from watching your children grow into capable, interesting people is indescribable.
Many if not most WiFi clients send a list of SSIDs they would want to connect in cleartext in their directed probe request frames in the active scanning mode. I expect there are attackers automatically advertising these networks to lure in devices.

Self hosting in my experience can be very reliable if you over provision redundant enterprise grade hardware, once it’s running you can get 6-10 years of usable service life. The hardware cost itself is negligible even more so when amortized over a long life cycle.
Similar for me, I noticed that the thing that lead to burnout was the politics around work, not the work itself. I changed companies and was happy till I got myself in the same political nightmare. If you find yourself in the same position, change the project/company, it will make a big difference for a while. Try to find a company with a healthy management/culture for a long term fix (if you want to spend more than 2-3y in one place), this is very hard thing to come by.

I’m on a slow upswing from a long burnout after (over)working a similar timeframe.

I tried everything I could imagine and read about, no matter what I did the two most important ingredients were “time” and “therapy”.

I guess “exploring other things that I enjoy” would be a third ingredient. E.g. I started playing music again for the first time since college. Music eventually led to (necessary) MIDI hacking which got me programming again.

A lot of it is managing the air barriers (not vapor barriers!) and sealing the house to prevent air leaks.

But if you're concerned about air quality there are some major things you can attack first - water heater being electric or forced-vent, furnace being forced vent, etc.

The US should not pay their bills: they have plenty of money and don't do their own work. They beat migrant workers (for blasphemy and other illegal oppressive offenses), take their money, jack up the oil price (by as a cartel lowering not price but production rate), and then US soldiers guard their state company's oil fields.

Then: "Thou shalt not blaspheme the false, slaving God."

US/you: Let's provide free military support services to them.

When did they start using noninvasive BCI on US citizens?

If they do not respect the rights of all people - per the UNDHR - they should not receive military support from the US.
I send maybe one SMS per year, not every year, when I think a person could be offline or in low signal areas. SMSes get where data don't.

I receive dozens of SMSes from banks with one time passwords for 2FA and payments notifications, from delivery companies to notify me about progresses in my orders plus some spam. It's easier for them to use SMS than anything else because every phone receives SMS right out of the box.
I think working 5 days a week, 8h a day on the same topic is insane. I can't think of anything I would want to do for so many hours a day, almost every day.

For me, switching to 4 days a week was a huge improvement in my quality of life. Now I've switched to 3, and have a completely different second job 2 days a week. And two days of rest.

I love both, for different reasons, but could never go back to a full week of IT, or switch to a full week of my new job. They balance fine, but I don't think they can exist on their own.

After going through 7 different jobs in 12 years, I realize the only thing that keeps me happy is the team itself. Great team? Great job. Bad team? Bad job. Your mileage may vary, but if you're in a rut, maybe try finding a better, more humane team.

And by all means, scale back to 4 days a week. You'll have way less disposable income (especially because some costs are fixed: rent, food, health...), but you'll have more time.

Essentially, you're trading time against money. What's most valuable to you?

In my free time I guess I found other things more appealing than coding when I was still employed as a coder. I did a lot of woodworking, some electronics, some art.

I dabbled occasionally in code – learned Javascript because I wanted to write a web-solitaire game. But it was pretty infrequent. I wish I had more mental energy to code in off-hours because I learned a lot being exposed to Javascript, have learned even more after retirement by learning Python....

My job had consisted of Objective-C and Swift almost exclusively (picked up some SQL as well, parsed a lot of file formats and learned those). So it was refreshing to learn other languages have some cool libraries, interesting ways of doing things. I see now where a lot of Swift borrowed from.
You could have at least used embedding layers for the categorical features. Stacking dense layers with AutoML doesn't do much. So the comparison ends up being "good baseline vs something nobody ever does".
> Use sanitizers

You don't need CMake for this. You just add the relevant flags onto the specific compiler you're using, and CMake doesn't really help you with that.

> Compile for several operating systems, even some later you might need to port to.

Have you tried using it with Windows, especially with Clang / Clang-CL? I've tried it for several days and gave up (the final reason I ditched CMake and went on building my own).

> Debug / Release / Minsize builds

> Disable / Enable warnings as errors

Again, add the relevant flags to your compiler? Don't see how CMake helps this.

> Run test suites

I personally use doctest for this, and you just need to compile your test executable with the header-only library. Again, no need for CMake. I really don't see how CTest really helps, maybe it's a teeny bit cleaner.

> Install stuff

> Consume external libraries

I really don't like how Fetch_ContentDeclare works, I prefer having my dependencies being explicitly inside my repo (instead of needing to download from the Internet) whether it be in source or as a git submodule.

And anyways, you need an external package manager other than CMake if you really want to manage this stuff properly in a more NPM/Cargo-esque way.

> choose a nested common nested dependency for the same version for a lib, and, transitively, do it for all subdependencies

I don't know if I have understood your sentence right... but CMake doesn't really like having different versions of the same library inside one project (because of CMake lacking any proper modules / namespaces), I remember struggling with this issue before.

> DLL import/export and symbol exposure

> Compile static/dynamic PIE/PIC libraries

> custom compilation flags to distribute your lib god-does-not-know-where-yet

Again, compiler flags.

Overall, CMake might be nice if you are just using other people's libraries, don't really have that many customizations needed, and have relatively simple build processes (no complex custom code generation / compiler needed to be run). But if you are anywhere outside of that then prepare for a hell-like experience struggling with all the archaic under-documented options and searching for obscure StackOverflow questions. Like, the whole experience of using CMake feels so ad-hoc, up to the point that it seems better to make your own that fits for your specific use-case.
You should be intelligent enough to make the right assumption of what I'm referencing.

It never ceases to amaze me who we in the west have ended up allied with. SA makes Iran look like rational secular friendly people.
I see this as a strong reason for:

(1) becoming a domain expert who is fine at coding rather than a coding wizard who doesn't know much about the business/ domain.

(2) working at a small company with little process/ few middle managers rather than at a larger corps with many departments and clear role separation between feature requirements and engineering.

Don't want to jinx it, but even if my employer were to move some engineering to eastern Europe, odds are pretty low that I'd be affected. I might code less and spend more time Jira more, though.
I also work in Berlin and are making it a habit to go back to the office more. Yesterday was a specially good day because of some incentives our office was half full again. It was such an awesome change from working away on your own at home with perfect silence to a more buzzing and clicky workspace. I could speak to people about issues directly by simply nudging them and have answers right away (I dislike video calls and calls in general and in our team we generally try to solve problems on our own first). Both is not healthy yes but it was a great experience. Coming from a person that generally dislikes social contacts because these are very hard for me.

HTTPS isn't always needed, and the idea that it is needs to die. Most use cases it does make sense to use HTTPS indeed, but there is a small number of use cases where it doesn't make sense.

You want your website to work on vintage computers where they run super old browsers? Then you probably need a HTTP version of the website without TLS/SSL as it's not gonna be accessible otherwise.

Running a software/package repository/registry where every package is signed and verified locally? No need for TLS/SSL and it would just slow down downloading 1000s of packages as handshaking does add latency to requests.

But again, probably 99% of cases it's better to have HTTPS than not. But sometimes not having HTTPS is indeed a positive thing.
And yet... if you don't have fun, it will never get done: https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/10.1177/0146167216676480

I definitely perceive partial truth to what you're saying but I wouldn't want people to confuse 'being disciplined' with what you're talking about. 'Being disciplined' just leads to burnout eventually, it's a way of the cortical (planning, future goals, losing weight) lying (foregoing good tasting food) to the thalamus ("give me good tasting food, feeling full, with the least amount of energy expenditure, NOW!") which will not succeed in the long run.

The trick is to research how to make healthy food taste better than junk food, and take less energy to make. Since you will always go for the best ratio of cost-benefit, you will lose weight without struggle.

I would rewrite the article as "If it's not a hard yes (in terms of BOTH immediate and long-term pleasure), it's a hard no"
Well sure. But how could this number actually be wrong once you think about it?
You don't see the reason because you think like a computer scientist. Having two NPM packages whose versions interfere with each other is often called "dependency hell". But it is way worse for proteins in a Virus.

In order to make a pandemic Virus the components must be finely tuned to each other. That is only possible through massively parallel evolution. A lab can't do that. When a lab combines Viruses, it's mostly to learn the individual contributions of the proteins. These Viruses are way less "fit" overall.
This advice is going to be hated by a lot of people but.. care less.

You’re in an industry that values your skills and seems to always have demand. Whether or not that’s true in the future, it certainly is today, so the best thing you can do is put yourself first and worry less about work
as a whole. Especially if it’s not your own company.

Spend more time on you, on activities with friends and family, on hobbies. If you don’t have particularly healthy hobbies, maybe start some. Getting away from your work more and more will make it all the more bearable.

These days work is close to the bottom of my list of concerns, which sounds really bad - BUT - I find I’m more productive than I’ve been in years because I’m not worrying if something takes longer than expected or is bigger than I realised. I can just enjoy the problem solving and shipping without the stress.

If you’re burned out this badly I’d suggest it’s your soul’s way of telling yourself “hey this isn’t working for me”. As someone who has been to some pretty messed up depths with the anxiety monster, I’d heed that voice. Life isn’t long enough to stay stuck in a rut like this for any amount of time at all.
If your spouse of the same opinion, that she wants kids than there are many options. If she doesn't want kids than this is a tougher problem to solve and I won't be able to advise on it. But let's assume she does.

1. Talk to a doctor and see if your wife would be able to bear a child. If doctor approves and your wife is ok with it, give it a shot. If you wife is not ok with having to go through a pregnancy in that age (which is totally understandable), then try #2.

2. If you are stuck on an idea of biological children you could try finding a surrogate mother who will bear your child for you. As far as I understand it is your sperm and your spouse's eggs are used, so the child will have your genes. This might be expensive, but is a good solution. Again, talk to a doctor about this possibility. Perhaps during the same visit as #1.

3. If for whatever reason, #2 is not an option, there is another option, which I honestly think should go as #2. Adoption. There are a lot of kids that have been abandoned by there parents. It is always heartbreaking to think about their lives. There are of course a lot of things to consider, but in the end I think it will be a win-win situation for all parties involved.

I'm sure there are more options that I didn't think about, so don't think that life is over. Kids or no kids, you will find a way to add meaning to your life. There is no need to leave your wife or get bad diseases, regardless of the outcome.

Just remember that everything will be fine.
