> I'm slowly coming to the realization that my baseline anxiety level is way higher than of the average person. For no apparent reason.

One book that may be of interest to you:

Born Anxious, by Daniel P. Keating: discusses epigenetics and how methylation can predispose certain individuals to higher baseline levels of stress and anxiety.

Other books which may not be revelant to you, but would perhaps be of interest to others reading these comments:

The Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel van der Kolk: Talks about the imprints trauma leaves on the mind and the body, and shines a light on how ineffective and misguided many of the mainstream, frontline treatments offered to people with histories of trauma are. (Just because you don't meet the criteria for PTSD, doesn't mean you haven't experienced some form of trauma.)

Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve, by Stanley Rosenberg: I haven't finished this one yet, but it discusses the three fight/flight, social engagement, and freeze/depression states of the nervous system, as described in the Polyvagal Theory put forward by Stephen Porges. I've been told by a clinician with a career in working with trauma survivors that the Polyvagal Theory is a key piece of the puzzle in treating trauma. Even if you're not dealing with the effects of trauma, I think you may still find this book interesting, as it describes how we can get locked into states of anxiety one the one hand, or lethargy on the other, finding it difficult to simply relax and be present for our lives.

Author Gabor Maté - I'm not sure if he has any books concentrating specifically on anxiety, but his work seems interesting. Episode 1869 of The Joe Rogan Experience, where he was the guest, was quite illuminating.

Molecules of Emotion, by Candace B. Pert: I haven't started this one yet, but it talks about how the body and mind/brain/nervous system aren't as separate as many of us may like to think. It sounds interesting.

Some lifestyle changes that may help with anxiety and other mental health conditions, including depression: (completely anecdotal, I am not a doctor, etc.)

* Regular, vigorous aerobic exercise, e.g. running five kilometres three times per week. Can't run five kilometres? Check out 'Couch to 5K.' I find that vigorous exercise seems to help 'burn off' anxiety and stress and make it easier to relax. (as recommended by Keating in Born Anxious.) Additionally, depression often goes hand-in-hand with anxiety, and "the efficacy of exercise in decreasing symptoms of depression has been well established." (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC474733/)

* Yoga: teaches one to listen to and befriend one's body. When one is constantly anxious and on alert, the body can tend to be constantly tense, ready for action.

* Diet: the so-called Mediterranean diet seems to be quite healthy: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7536728/ I'm not sure if eating healthy has been shown to help with anxiety, but can it really hurt?
Couldn't agree more on the experience of developing on serverless. And you're quite on point, about the need for a good architect who can solve most of these issues.

I know a lot of EdTech startups who are primarily serverless at massive scale.

Along with a DevOps team, an Observability tool like KloudMate will go a long way in managing serverless stacks.

It makes a lot of sense, if we think about how the protocol works. Without caching, I assume every client would send every query in it's entirety to the root server, right?

Since a single zone can have multiple labels ({abc.def}.ghi.example - abc.def is a NAME in ghi.example), the server needs to receive the entire requested name in order to properly respond (yeah, root queries usualy optimize this, because all NAMEs there are one label long).
Andor (ongoing) is one of the best scifis of the last 5 years for me.

It’s a slow start though for the first 2 episodes.
They went to court over it and depending on the number of CPUs you use you might be forced to have one or two kids to pay the extra souls.
I recommend confirming. If your heat pump can’t keep up (“The upstairs is struggling to maintain 65 and the heat pump is running 14 hours/day (I track it in home assistant)”), either it’s undersized, your house is leaking conditioned air too quickly, or both. High level, having a heat pump in of itself isn’t the problem. High quality heat pumps (Mitsubishis for example) will happily extract heat from -30F outdoor air.

(I have a 4 ton heat pump and it will get my 2600 sq ft 40 year old house to temp called for in about 15-60 minutes at extreme ambient outdoor temperatures).
> If React or the JavaScript du jour isn’t already your horse in the race,

If only it were up to us simple devs who actually do the work.
But its not. CTOs make the decisions and they bring in tech that "everyone else" is using. That means Java/Node/Python/C#/ and Angular/React is probably 90% of web code out there.
I can try fighting the trend and specifically apply to niche tech jobs but its no fun...been doing that with Ruby for awhile until jobs literally dried up where I live.
If you live in a remote friendly area (big parts of Europe) you can get by .. but I don't.
I found my way into YouTube shorts since I already use YT a lot and it knew what I liked. Realizing it’s a TK ripoff, and seeing funny TKs shared, I figure TikTok must be way better, so I tried it. But I had the same experience as you: it didn’t click. Maybe if I had replicated my YouTube subscriptions (some are on both) it would have worked better, but I tried telling it my interests and hoping “the algorithm” would figure it out. But it didn’t.
There is no way it is faster than Links.
Thanks for letting me know. It's hard to figure out which services support Linux; usually they don't mention it, despite the browser being a so-called OS indepedent platform.
> there are some people so opposed to a government ID that they don't register their births or get social security numbers

How do these people pay taxes?
This is a bit open to interpretation, but I’ll bite and give an answer in terms of investment strategy.

I simply sell all equity immediately upon vesting and have a monthly direct debit setup for investing in some global diversified ETFs (roughly VWRL). For fun I keep 10% of my portfolio in handpicked individual tech stocks that I like (which has gone extremely bad for me recently).

This is a great topic to discuss though, in my experience I think financial literacy for tech workers is poor. My company IPOd a few years back and the value has fluctuated dramatically. Sadly I’ve seen a lot of people run into avoidable issues, two common problems are

1) they get burned for income tax because they didn’t sell immediately and the stock dropped, but they didn’t realise they owe tax on the initial vested amount

2) they didn’t sell their equity at all and became over leveraged in the company that employs them. They didn’t diversify, so when the stock dropped their net worth plummeted. This seems to be a common bias, I think it’s useful to reframe any equity vesting as “if I were to receive this money in cash, would I invest this amount in my company”.
Piracy's gotten harder, or maybe I just have less time to find quality sources. And curating a library isn't something everybody enjoys, either.

Except [0] has been demonstrated to actually be more useful for average users, as it hides parts of the url that are not actually relevant. I don't know what google's current UI for it is, but in safari by default https:// is not shown. Instead if you visit a http: site you get a completely different UI "not secure - example.com".

The reason for these UI changes is very simple: signaling secure vs insecure via a single character in a string that is meaningless to most people makes it essentially useless. Similarly making "secure" websites get a padlock is not helpful - it's essentially the same as a car engine light, except the engine light is surrounded by a dozen other lights, and it turns off when there's a problem. Unending amounts of research show that that kind of design means people will not notice problems.

This is not to say Google is a shining example of privacy engineering (see their core business model), but you're being incredibly dismissive of the work that their chrome and browser privacy engineering teams do.

>...What really amazes me about the whole thing is that after celcius and now ftx, tether manages to have peoples' trust...

I've never held/used Tether, and that won't change. There's no reason to use it. However, it's worth pointing out that Tether DID go through what FTX is going through right now. They handled it surprisingly well.

This article says they had $10 billion redemptions in May:
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/17/tether-usdt-redemptions-fuel...

This article says they had $1.6 billion redemptions in June:
https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2022/06/15/tether-sees-new-...

There are rumors that FTX was/is missing as much as $5 billion of customer deposits. That's what lead to their withdrawal issues.

>while it should at least be mentioned or discussed in here, even tho it has no direct relation

It's a stable coin, not a centralized exchange. No comparison. Though, both should be able to honor 100% of withdraws at any moment.

You are likely to label me as an apologist. Again, I don't trust it. I couldn't care less if it stops existing tomorrow. I just haven't seen any concrete evidence it can't honor redemptions. The opposite was proven in May and June.
Yes, but from the point of view of an office (lowercase o) worker Access is that thing that, in decreasing order of importance

1) it's not clear what it does

2) it doesn't show them all the data at once all the time

3) it doesn't let them write formulas to work on the data

4) the few that saw Access in action say that they have to call a programmer to do what any Joe can do in Excel

So whatever Access is doing Excel does it better and they can't understand why Microsoft developed a crippled version of Excel to manage tables of data. At this point I almost don't understand it myself anymore despite having seen all the years of Access and Excel ;-)
By all reasonable accounts, tanks are here to stay. The Russians are failing at operating shovels, let alone tanks.

The main point seems to be that it is not about vulnerabilities. It is about capabilities.

No current system can do what a tank can. A pickup full of Javelins can’t roll over, take, and hold ground. An infantryman is about as vulnerable it gets. And yet, humans continue to run about and will do so for a long, long time.
I didn't "understand" anything incorrectly -- I made zero attempt to understand the feature. How many times do I have to quote the word "assume"? I ASSUMED the worst without knowing anything about the feature, based on my prior experience with "protecting the user" features and the way megacorps treat their users. I thought "probably sends my stuff to their servers" and unchecked the box. Again, for the nth time, I have made no concrete assertion as to the actual functioning of the feature. The only misinformation here has been your repeated misrepresentation of what I communicated.
> If anybody has any tips about how to get a better feed, I'm willing to give it another go.

I do. Don't waste time by trying to find the stuff you want by explicitly searching for specific tags (aside from maybe for the purpose of the initial seeding, but that's not a must at all). That would indeed bring up just tons of kinda trashy content that seems like it is tailored to either teenagers or the lowest common denominator. Instead, try using the main feed.

Simply scroll past videos you don't find interesting/appealing to you, hit "like" (double tap) on the kind of videos you like, etc. You've mentioned you've already found some creators you like, that's great. Hit "like" on some of their videos that you actually like . Don't try to trick the algorithm by forcing some unnatural behaviors, just use the feed normally. To clarify, when I say "feed", I mean "For You" feed aka the main feed, not "Following" feed.

First 30 mins or so of that will be meh. But the more you use it that way (doesn't need to be in one sitting at all, that part doesn't matter), the better the content will be tailored to your tastes.

I can almost guarantee that you will not only find what you wanted that way, but also discover things that you didn't realize you liked/wanted to see. I checked out feeds on my friends' phones before, and it is kinda wild how different our feeds are. A friend of mine who is very seriously into bodybuilding gets some crazy useful (according to him) exercise technique/regimen videos that are very far from the mainstream "exercise routine/fitness advice" videos. Another friend of mine who is into building/fixing cars gets a lot of great build project videos. I get a solid mix of a particular type of dark comedy that appeals to me, sound synthesis videos, and some cool electronics projects that I would actually want to attempt myself.

Just don't rush it, don't expect some instant magic to happen, and let it naturally adapt to your tastes.
A bit of a tangent, but YouTube had sucked me into hours of economic doomscrolling a day. I even purchased the premium tier to avoid ads. Then suddenly two months ago they changed some algo and all the good videos are gone, along with most of my engagement.

The lesson I learned: Even if I find magic, magic can quickly disappear with a new production release.

The article is phrasing it badly, but it does say so:

“The pounds you shed are essentially the byproducts of that process. They are excreted in the form of water—when you sweat and pee—and carbon dioxide, when you exhale. In fact, the lungs are the primary excretory organ for fat.”

The linked-to article (https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/26/health/lose-weight-where-...) is way clearer:

“The correct answer is that fat is converted to carbon dioxide and water. You exhale the carbon dioxide and the water mixes into your circulation until it's lost as urine or sweat.

If you lose 10 pounds of fat, precisely 8.4 pounds comes out through your lungs and the remaining 1.6 pounds turns into water. In other words, nearly all the weight we lose is exhaled.”

FACE À FACE are high-quality glasses and I'm happy to pay the premium. They are not owned by Luxottica.
I had the same experience. I've given TikTok several chances, each time it ends with me deleting the app after "the algo" and I disagree about what I actually want to watch. Yes, I paused for longer on the weird videos, but that doesn't mean I liked them. Yet the algo took this as strong signal to give me more of them.
I also prefer glass lenses. The tradeoffs seem to be weight (glass weighs more) and durability (glass can be cleaned with cloth or a towel without scratching, plastic lenses need to be babied with a microcloth or else you get little swirly scratches that will eventually ruin the lenses).

I'd rather have my glasses weigh a bit more if the lenses are more durable.
Things certainly get overcomplicated! But when you encounter a system you think is overcomplicated, it's rarely as simple as that system's designer doing something wrong. More likely their hand was forced by context. Context and path dependence. It's an emergent phenomenon. Big companies have particular infrastructure, platforms, libraries, standards, expectations. Lots of it. Most of it reasonable when considered in its own context. But the way it interacts with any one systems designer's "simple" task can get weird.

At the benign end of the scale, you might need to use a more heavyweight tool than you'd like, because the company also has more intense problems and prefers to standardize on one tool. At the other end there's cruelty and farce. Elaborate workarounds for things that ought to be easy. Mind-bending debug sessions for what never should have been possible.

No one wants this to happen! The career incentive is to ship. We're tearing our hair out over it - honestly a big reason people have side projects is the catharsis of just doing everything the sane way. Overcomplication is a dysfunction that plagues engineering organizations. But the solutions are more subtle than "just say no" - it's about the quality of the company's platforms, degrees of NIH syndrome in the platform group, tradeoffs made between freedom and consistency in system design culture, wisdom and foresight in anticipating how different things will interact, etc.

Also underrated: at the time the company needed an X, Y was not around yet, so we adopted X. Yes everyone now agrees Y is better. We are migrating to it, but that takes time. No you can't have your own instance ahead of schedule. so you need to make do with X, even though it is worse and more complicated.
Andor is not trash. Shehulk, Jessica etc are pukeworthy though.
You don't understand the industry. You are thinking in the context of nice academic labs with thick budgets.

Where do you think the fentanyl people are getting their ingredients from? Asia. You can easily get most industrial/pharmaceutical chemistry pre-cursors and analogues/isomers for the semi-legal/regulated substances. Whether it can clear customs is another story but for kitchen chemistry the internet is more than sufficient.

Go to an aggregator like "Alibaba" and do a search. You will be surprised at what you can find.
Most of the content on youtube is trash, but some of it isn't. On youtube you can find lectures and talks, historic films, documentaries and instructional videos. Tiktok's short-video format does not support any of that. The videos purporting to be educational are vapid shallow trash, necessarily, because of the short-video format.

> Because the Chinese government has regulations against it.

The same government, convinced such content is harmful, happily allows Bytedance to export it. They view it as revenge for the Opium Wars; they're deliberately exporting poison.
At least where I am, this isn't true.

It's actually a great strategy to get promoted, and in fact, past a certain point, it's pretty much impossible to get promoted by trying to focus on your self-achievement rather than making your org (and surrounding orgs) as successful as you can by helping them.
Japanese brands are slowly starting to make inroads overseas too. Owndays (cheap) and 999.9 (expensive but great service and very high quality) are now available in Australia and many Asian countries, Zoff has made its way to Singapore and Hong Kong.
Hey drcongo long time no speak! But I can’t say that is the way to do it anymore.

Often you have to make sure that there is not multiple things going on down there, so you high pass a lot of the elements in a track. Then the sub of a Kick can’t be out of phase with a sub bass. You can duck one of them so they dont occur at the same time (probably still the way a lot of people do it), or you automate a high pass eq in relation to the other sound which can cause other phase issue but tends to work really well and is easy. Or you align the waveforms of the kick and the bass to match in phase and control the ducking more manually.

It also depends on the playback medium to some extent - vinyl has a slightly different set of challenges to digital.

I'll agree here, the algo has changed, but maybe not for the worse. I am doomscrolling less, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can't be healthy to constantly be doomscrolling.
Something more than they're paying now, which is zero. Figure the cost to build and maintain bike lanes, divide that cost by the number of bikes sold in a municipality. Assess a tax on each bicycle sale in that municipality equal to whatever that number comes out to.

Or better yet, make cyclists go through the same process that vehicles go through to get tags. Any cyclist using a bike lane without a valid tag affixed to it should get a ticket, just like a driver would receive when driving an unregistered vehicle, or a vehicle found on the road containing dyed farm fuel.

It's amazing I have to keep pointing this out: bike lanes and infrastructure are NOT free. It doesn't matter how little damage they do to the pavement: the pavement was built and maintained using funds paid for by drivers. They are usually created by expropriating infrastructure from drivers, or by using funds designed to support new infrastructure for vehicles.

Cyclists who drive pay taxes on fuel and on their vehicle, so I'm not sure why it would matter if a cyclist is also a driver. By definition, if they're driving a car legally, they've paid to use the roads, unlike when they use their bicycle in the bike lane.

> The model I've been trying recently is to make DNS changes in three parts. First: change existing DNS entry TTL from 1hr to 1s. Wait 1hr as the caches clear. Update entry to the new address, keeping 1s TTL. Wait, test, and monitor for a while. Finally, increase the TTL back to 1hr. It takes more planning, but I avoid a 1hr partial outage if I mess up the address.

This is my preferred way of doing it, especially for MX records.
I am a MA of art and an avid consumer of it. I work at an art school.

What you say can happen, but it must not happen. I have seen 70 year old artists doing more modern and interesting works than graduates. And this is not rare, which you would definitly agree to if you are an avid visitor of art exhibitions.

Also modern or high art is something different to animation which our poster here wants to go for. I don't see why age would matter there — and even if it would OP is 20. We have many people who start to study art at that age. The average age might be 19 to 20.

It is true, that not everybody is made to transition into art, especially if they did not do any art their whole life, but that has nothing to do with the Zeitgeist and everything to do with the time it takes to develope the eyes needed to see what needs to be seen.
Why does it have to be a new programming language? Why not a library/framework for an existing language?

The mathematics of radios are a lot more difficult than the basic boolean logic and discrete math for intro to programming. Radios and circuits are in differential equations territory.

I believe the rise of AI art has shown, more than anything, that many of us here in our tech bubble have no idea what professional artists actually do.

I don't doubt that ai art will have a significant impact but come on....the job involves way more. And ai is not as close to this job as the ads suggest. You only have to take a minute to learn about the average workday of a professional artist.

Surely the industry will find more ways to make the life of artists more miserable with this.
