"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer." -- Albert Camus

First of all, I'm sorry that you're suffering. It seems completely normal that you'd be struggling given all you've been through. I know what that sense of despair feels like, and how lonely it can be. I've been there, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I wouldn't say I've "turned my life around", but I'm 40 and in the last few years I've gone through a loss of my faith and a divorce (unrelated to each other), both of which were incredibly traumatic and really shook the foundations of my world. During the darkest days, it was really a crucible, a refining process. It was stripping away so much of what I had built my identity around.

The most transformative and healing things for me have been therapy, psychedelics, meditation, and divorce. I'm not recommending them all to everyone, but they changed me for the better.

And coming out the other side, I have such a better relationship with myself. I barely recognize myself from before. And as a result, I have a better relationship with my daughter, my friends, my family, my work, even with my ex-wife. I feel so much happier and more excited for the second half of my life than I ever have. I'm in a new relationship that feels open and healthy, and I'm planning to switch careers to be a therapist.

If you like to read, two foundational books that helped me:

- Self-Compassion by Kristin Neff

- Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life by James Hollis

Good luck, you can do this!

PS - my email is in my profile, please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need someone to talk to. I was helped through this period by many other kind people, some of them strangers, and I'm always happy to pay it forward and lend an ear and some support to anyone who needs it. That goes for anyone reading this too!
How does taxing wealth work, without eating away at the savings of the middle class? If wealth can't be stored, then won't they be forced to participate in labor, continuously? For example, I have some shares that I'm holding onto for retirement. They should some unsubstantial gains that are a little over inflation, per year. If I'm taxed on those, then the concept of "long term investments" seems to go out the window, requiring shorter term gains. Wouldn't both of these just act as an amplification for, what many perceive as, the shortcomings of capitalism? Or, maybe a progressive tax? Or, do you think a completely different system is required?

If you haven't noticed, I am very uneducated on these types of things, so be gentle. :)

Just speaking to multiple git repositories: could you use submodules for a conglomerated-monorepo?

Otherwise: you can pull in repos as bazel-file-containing additions. I forget the details, but I believe it's something like https://bazel.build/extending/repo . The troubleshooting-while-developing experience is not great though imo, I'd try submodules first.
> That person then boosts a post from another server and they have effectively DDOSed that server. All the other nodes will start querying that server about that post or image.

But that's fixable in several ways - local media cache for an instance, the boost including the preview rather than each client fetching it for themselves, etc.

The problem* with ActivityPub is that it's been designed and developed in a bit of user vacuum and it definitely has issues but they can all be worked on. Much like Twitter going from Rails to Scala, etc., to fix their issues.
Yes, you can easily find a meeting for the same week (maybe same day) in the US. The downside is the better ones are picky about taking insurance (i.e. you might have to pay 40% yourself and then submit the bill to your insurance company to get reimbursed the 60%) because most insurance companies pay really low rates for mental health. From what I've heard Aetna is the best.

I tried MyST recently. All I see is a markup language that slowly become more and more complex over time to support more and more features that LaTeX already supports while at the same time acquiring the same syntax complexity of latex.

What people don't acknowledge is that there is a base level of syntax complexity needed to produce fully general documents. If you do, the natural conclusion is that to fix latex, you need a full rewrite of latex with minor changes to fix all the inconsistencies that have crept into it.

Or, god forbid, protect the general welfare of the population of Yahoo County by having a fire service?

The government has the ability to tax for such services. As a partner who own a piece of a rental property in a ex-urban town, the volunteer fire company levies a tax that amounts to $300/year (based on valuation) which covers 2-3 towns with fire, ems and paramedic services.
Graham Hancock says that it hasn't been truly debunked, but that 'establishment archeologists' are programmed to dispute it, or something.

'Establishment archeologists' say it's a bunch of BS.

Mr. Hancock studied sociology for a while before switching gears to journalism.

It's fun to think about, but as far as him being the modern day Galileo, I'm not personally buying it.
Clearly, the fundamental argument here is about private provision of services vs. public provision of services. Is the optimal fire protection service one based on private subscriber payment to firefighters or a publicly (taxpayer or other government revenue-funded) operated fire department?

The best IMO way to view this is to first clarify whether or not that service falls into the 'natural monopoly' category, at least when it comes to basic provision of services. That category is defined by having a lack of meaningful or feasible competition, i.e. would multiple competing services result in a better outcome than a single state-run service would?

My view is that provision of fire and police services, health care and education services, water, electricity and fiber optic connectivity service, as well as the maintenance of roads, etc. generally fall into the natural monopoly sector, with caveats:

1) People should be able to augment basic services however they wish, to they extent they can afford. One can purchase a fire engine and a water tank and keep it on one's property, for example. Private security guards can be hired to augment police protection. One can hire a home nurse and expensive medical equipment, etc. Private tutors can be hired to augment a child's education.

2) State-run services should have competitive processes built in - i.e. we may have a public fire department, but the manufacture and sale of fire-fighting equipment is a competitive business and should not be monopolized, etc. Corruption in the form of fire officials giving preferential contracts to sub-par manufacturers in exchange for bribes should be a serious criminal activity, etc.

> The Reuters analysis

The "investigative" part is public data that any of us can view. If there was something remarkable there, crypto bros would have found it without waiting for reuters to "review" things.

Obviously since binance is not based in the US or EU, its users don't expect the same level of transparency that banks have. If reuters wanted more transparency maybe it should ask some country to allow it to base itself there. But given that they have been effectively on the run for most of their existence, it's not strange that they are keeping their secrets to themselves. I think reuters is trying to be sensational but none of the news it reports are.
This is why he wants to step down from Twitter I expect.
I use leechblock. It's pretty great. It's extremely feature rich. The UI is a little ugly but "ugly" in the style that a hackernewser would likely appreciate.

My only complaint is the way it does this thing when you're out of time and it redirects you (either to their block page or a custom page you set up). Not sure how it does it but the original url you tried to reach doesn't get saved in your history. If I try to manually disable the extension it'll also automatically close the page with the leechblock message so it's gone forever. Kind of annoying if it's a link I'd like to revisit after work

Other than it's pretty neat

That is an interesting opinion, but at this point, both a conservative, and then a super-conservative, packed-with-federalist-society SCOTUS has disagreed with you twice on this issue (5-4) and then (7-2). It's about as written-in-stone as you can get in the United States.

The courts think this is above-board, the executive thinks this is above-board, most of the public thinks its above-board, it's safe to say its above-board.

Why would short-term market price fluctuations matter if he were serious? Real corporate acquisitions are based on looking at the target, figuring out how much money could be made by the new owner, and bidding accordingly. If he were buying it for business reasons, a general market decline wouldn't change anything, because it would be years before he might try to IPO again. And if it wasn't for business reasons, market fluctuations matter even less.
Well I can't really, just hearsay. We were just a battalion and most were out on diverse smaller camps or manning checkpoints and the like, so we weren't that many that even could abuse it. And, it's a kind of abuse in essence really, so we can probably reverse my statement.
The issue was very clearly ideological bias. I think there’s a bunch of people twisting the narrative to be about commercial promotion.

Other situations exist in which firefighters don't kill themselves (quite literally) over it. Take fast food joints. First, they're notorious for not cleaning their grease traps, but second, many are self-insured. More interestingly, the fast-food companies tend to scrap a building that has had a fire, have it scraped down to the concrete pad, and build again. Source: was just talking with a fire chief about this.
I think most Americans are familiar with Sugar / Honey Smacks. These are created by placing wheat in a high pressure vessel and cooking the grain under pressure before suddenly releasing the pressure. The result is that the grain becomes "puffed" by expanding in size.

In Asia, there are street merchants who will throw grains into an iron vessel which is then closed and heated to create a similar pressure situation. When they release the pressure, there is an audible boom and the results is puffed grains.
That kind of thing is indeed moving.

I have learned for myself that life, existence, doesn't end at death. Our choices matter, and there is hope for good things to come, depending on our further choices. More at my web site (in profile, nothing for sale, tech-simple site).

Yes that's a good point that people aren't necessarily clued up on the intricacies of the technology they're liberally giving to their children, but that still doesn't negate actual supervision. It's like handing a handsaw to your child and then wandering off.

And my main point that supervision and parenting go hand in hand doesn't require me to be a parent to know that, in the same way that I know that a handsaw can be dangerous yet I am not a carpenter. You don't need to be Parent of the Year or a genius to know that leaving children unsupervised with something can go very badly, like leaving them to play with plug sockets... My parents didn't need to get to their second child to learn that - it's obvious.

I'm not sure how else I could possibly word it to make such an obvious point more palatable, even though I am no expert in parenting. (I do have cats though and I know not to leave ANYTHING out because they wreck it.... That also doesn't take much to work out even if you don't own cats!)
> As my history professor put it, "going to the Holy Land was an incredibly expensive endeavour reserved for a very few. There's no way anyone was going to waste it on young, inexperienced children".

While a Crusade made up primarily of children is not realistic. The 'People's Crusade' was a thing. During the first Crusade 40 thousand or so poor peasants and various religious fanatics including many women and children departed Northern France a couple of months before the 'proper' army left.

It wasn't pretty. Along the way they murdered thousands of Jews, sacked or attempted to sack multiple cities and most of those who survived the journey were eventually massacred by the Turks (according to some that's one of the reasons why the Turks were so ill prepared when the actual Crusader army arrived, they expected that all westerners were poorly armed, disorganized and had no understanding or proper warfare... )

I've seen this tried before. My thoughts:

First, no language model (or human judgement) will ever be perfect. Therefore you will eventually have a false positive, and a respectful contributor will be banned.

Now you must either:

a) Provide an appeals process—which takes time and effort, and will surely be abused to the maximum extent possible by the maniacally aggrieved.

b) Or, if the judgement is final, you have implemented undisputable algorithmic perma-bans (Google's much-hated approach).

So you're not really solving the original issue, which is the amount of time and resources that disturbed individuals can consume when confronted.

Second, this approach does nothing to prevent external issues like legal harassment, doxxing, real-life staking, and so forth.
The parent is right; not every single one the author tests is a whole grain, and they even talk about it in the article in the section about Arborio rice, for example.
> Because lifecycle management, access controls, auditing, monitoring, delegation/federation, budgeting, capacity planning - all of these other things together, which these tools may or may not help you with - are still far less important than troubleshooting.

I think you're right here and it's going to be something that's really hard to get right. I think prioritising the developer experience is the only way to get this right - even at the expense of other things you want to optimise for like costs.

In Life, there is no participation trophy in the end (Dan Koe). The idea is to find a purpose in life. Your situation has a bit of similarity to mine.

I went back to in 2000 and eventually graduated with a Ph.D. in Social Welfare in 2016 (62). The Ph.D. was to fulfill my bucket list. Now that I am retired at 68, I was lost without a life purpose.

I have been searching all my life for my destiny, my major purpose of existence to no avail. (The Gem Goddess) a pack-a-card psychic helped me discover my mission yesterday. I know this sounds delusional; however, she stated that my life purpose is to have fun and to follow my curiosity wherever I desire to go. I will constantly change my “life mission” but eventually, I will achieve it before I pass.

Maybe your life purpose is similar to mine. My current curiosity to is to become a Creator on social media. Your MEng degree, work experience, life experiences would provide a wealth of knowledge for many individuals searching for solutions.

I found you (this thread) through Twitter via a post today. If you are interested in pursuing a social media presence, I suggest you research Dan Koe’s website. He has many free materials to get started, which is the current path of my journey.

I hope this post has helped guide you to a possible bright future!

So if the likes Obama or Stephen King want to move over to Mastodon their barrier of entry would be to complete this laundry list [1] or find a service that does this for them? Given that they own the instance, they would also need to provide moderation for it.

I don't disagree that there are solutions to the scale problem. What I have trouble seeing are solutions that are viable. That's the thing about a centralized service--you have a company that handles all of this so your users don't have to.

For sure. I moved from setup with an i7-6700k and a gtx 1070 to one with a 5900x and an rx 6900xt, and in games the upgrade wasn't really as strong as you might expect.

Code compilation, hashing, rendering were all markedly faster though. That old PC became a perfectly serviceable hand me down after 5 years of service, and I hope to get another 5 out of this rig. Pretty cool that we're seeing longevity and some progress at the same time.

They are welcome to base themselves in any jurisdiction however they would rather not because they have no interest in complying with the kinds of financial regulations that underpin a modern and functional economy.

Why on earth would we want to compromise on these regulations and onshore these bucket shops? Just look what happens when you let them do as they will.
“The Guild of Firefighters had been outlawed by the Patrician the previous year after many complaints. The point was that, if you bought a contract from the Guild, your house would be protected against fire.

Unfortunately, the general Ankh-Morpork ethos quickly came to the fore and fire fighters would tend to go to prospective clients’ houses in groups, making loud comments like ‘Very inflammable looking place, this’ and ‘Probably go up like a firework with just one carelessly-dropped match, know what I mean?’”

That feels to me like a straw man.

Poverty rate in Sweden is, like in most of Western Europe, low. [1] whilst the cost of living is lower than in the USA as an example. [2] At the same time schools, university, healthcare, social services, is accessible to everyone. There is a shortage of housing, only 0.8% of rental properties are availbe for rent[3] but it isn’t necessarily only a failure of government as the housing market is largely commercial, only 19% of housing is owned by the government [4].

I learned it as HELM: Heat, Exercise [the the appendage or body part through its range of motion], Lower [the appendage or body part] and Massage.

Basically the opposite of RICE, all 4 were focused on maximizing blood flow to the soft tissue injury. And anecdotally, I can confirm it works way better than RICE or the alternatives. I used to be out for 2-3 weeks after running issues when I used RICE, etc. After I switched to HELM I was back on the pavement the next morning.

The issue with HELM is that it can be significantly more painful than RICE, etc., as you must avoid using anti-inflammatories and painkillers.
