I recall Jim Carey saying depression is when you need 'Deep Rest'. It's a play on words since 'Deep Rest' sounds like Depressed.

He also said people get tired of their public persona and need to stop putting on an act all the time, and retreat into themselves.

When I get depressed, I try to switch off my mask and get deep rest too.

What if you have a complex/dynamic query, how do you build it? You said yourself that AR works better than concatenating SQL strings, but AR doesn't even support CTEs atm and building complex queries is not trivial and sometimes even possible without just SQL strings...
Not a recruiter but a current CS undergrad and your skill areas really resonated with me - GPU programming, HPC and scientific programming, and Audio/DSP are all things I wanna explore. Do you have any advice on where I should focus my efforts to get better in these areas? I've been looking into books and resources, and I'm not sure if I can pursue something like DSP on my own time without enrolling in formal college courses because ironically enough I'm a bit scared of math.
Hey, I never actually thought about what I’m doing here as “thinking in public”.

Right. The same goes for other sports. I'm sure one could build a machine that would bowl strikes all day long, and if bowling were part of an industrial manufacturing process, that would be awesome. But it isn't... bowling is a sport. The whole point of sports is the challenge. No challenge, no sport.
I live in a building rather than let nature do whatever it's going to do.

This argument is more along the lines of paying protection racket enforcers.
The oceans are all owned by various parties. They're use is governed by treaties and governments aggressively militarize development there (see how fishing boats are tracked and monitored).

They're very much not a frontier.
Because development jobs pays too damn well, and are too easy to get. Someone famous once said something along the lines of "any idiot can make a thing more complicated, more complex, but it takes the stroke of genius to go in the opposite direction"

Basically, backend dev is so complicated because it's done by fools. When it's not done by fools, it's either not complex or has some very difficult requirements, perhaps sometimes both.

Edit to add, I say this as a foolish backend Dev myself, no offence meant to my own kin, of course!

Good advice, however I find myself quite struggling with the third point.

I recentyl turned fifty, with a decent career up to now: software engineer, sold a company I co-owned some time ago. My daughter spent years figthing cancer, so that was also a big part of my life in the last ten years.

Now things are better and I cannot seem to find decent interest in anything. I still love to code from time to time, but I am more in CTO or managing roles. I exercise on a regular basis, I eat quite well (vegetables a lot, fish, a little bit of meat, everything home made), I try to pursue some hobby like playing music, which I enjoy, but it is quite hard to find the time to do more than half an hour per day. I am also trying to take care of friendships as much as I can.

Despite all this I have a very hard time to find anything that motivates me, and I really wonder how I will go on in my professional life for another 10 years. Clearly I need some peace-bringing meaning, but it is very hard to find, and I do not even know how to start looking for it. So yes I think a meaning is paramount in a good mental health, but it is quite difficult to find!
Heh. So propaganda (or marketing as we now know it) has always worked.

When are we ever going to get hip to that reality?
I don't need a scientific paper to tell me that exercise helps depression. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for exercise. That's not to say it'll work equally well for everyone, but there's enough empirical evidence to suggest that it's one of the best tools available. That said, every doctor I've ever visited (except one), recommended exercise as part of their treatment.
The other element of this is CAT control, which is a serial protocol for tuning the radio (among other capabilities); CAT control for tuning + transmission control for turning on/off transmit + audio abilities (to send and receive) basically makes a radio 100% digitally controllable, which can be helpful for everything from voice traffic to data mesh to scanning/monitoring/etc.
Well, this is a very strong and wrong assumption. There are ordinary people who are using Linux because of various reasons (my dad being one of them), and we want more people to use Linux, too.

If we continue to cater to only technically inclined people, we have no right to criticize Linux for being for the knowledgeable people only. If we want to attract more users from a more diverse community, we need to make some changes to user experience.

There is no buts or ifs. There are plenty of desktop environments. Technically inclined people can tinker with gconf, or install something different (KDE, E17, or any of the TWMs).

Concert ticket sales represents a tiny slice of the total number of paid musicians.

Here are my Python + Pygame projects from 2022. Pygame is a lot more capable than people think it is. I've been using Python and Pygame for game development for 9 years now and it's still my preferred way to make games.

I'm curious about why you would want (or, expect) an institution to resolve a cultural or interpersonal phenomenon. Maybe I've misunderstood your meaning or intent. It strikes me that this is a behavior, and if it's common, the best way to address it is by changing the norm through positive examples and gentle feedback.

Off the cuff, looking to an institution to shape some behaviors has not generally gone well for humanity. I'm sure that we can think of counter-examples, but this seems to be contrary to what makes Western culture successful.
There are too many questions to make any absolute statements. You hint at a couple here.

Specialization of requests reduces data transport, but increases testing surface area and drastically reduces caching options - including within the database. Years ago we discovered that our bottleneck in Oracle was being caused by query cache evictions (worse, in 9i only queries currently in the cache could run, so new queries were blocking in the query planner. I'm not sure if this was ever fixed.)

One of the important uses of etags within your infrastructure is to allow you to incorporate data manipulation into your caches. If your functions are deterministic you can store the results of a calculation, instead of the source data for that calculation. Cache hits then don't just save bandwidth, they also save computation, which reduces the sequential parts of the response, fighting Amdahl's Law.
This is why we have different pricing for different hours. Only those that actually need the capacity will use the expensive power from 16-20.

Others will use dirt-cheap night time electricity.

And with Vehicle to Grid smart people can sell the extra energy in their car battery during peak hours and use the credits from that to charge their car overnight.

None of this is some kind of magical tech that's hard to use. Gridio (https://www.gridio.io) already exists and works directly with multiple EV brands.
Great then we should be able to provide food for everyone who needs it right?

Well, it's not a question of "if I were the winner" , that's a pretty dumb argument (excuse my French). Reestablishing fairness would still be the same issue with simply the roles reversed.

It's a question of being humane and restablishing fairness of opportunities amongst human beings.

The status quo might be appealing but it can feed needless conflicts between people, sometimes on the sole basis of skin complexion.

I understand that burying one's head in the sand can be appealing but that still shows a lack of accountability and a reluctance to improve Humanity imho.

The former is probably the biggest factor, with the latter taking care of the rest. All-season tires might be less-than-optimal tires in either summer or winter (though the higher-end ones have gotten much better), but the perceived convenience factor is a big enough selling point for most. And when their performance isn't sufficient in winter, people probably aren't going to immediately blame their all-season tires for a loss of traction. They'll just blame the weather and assume that "it is what it is," even with AWD.

If you've never driven on proper winter tires when the weather goes to shit, you don't even know what you're missing. But more than that, I think there's a huge segment of the car-buying public that doesn't give their tires any thought beyond "are they still good?"

Hell, my sister bought a Mercedes a couple years ago that happened to come from the factory with high-performance summer tires and no mention of that fact on the build sheet or window sticker (nor was it spec'd with large wheels with low-profile tires, where it'd at least some sense). Had I not looked at the sidewall when I was with her after the tire pressure sensor went off, she'd have been in for one hell of a dangerous surprise when the first winter storms hit a couple weeks later. Even the dealer was surprised by it.

Ever since then, I've always wondered just how many cars drive around in winter weather with the wrong tires and a blissfully unaware driver.

Is this sufficient to call it a "complete fabrication"? Climbing concert revenue is plausibly consistent with a disappearance of lower-overhead non-ticketed live music, like at a bar. In fact, those two are very compatible with each other: where I live now, it 's harder to see live music casually, so my bar for whether I want to go to a ticketed concert is lower.
Cons: coworkers, friends, romantic partners, family may find your half baked, low quality content and judge you accordingly.

It really depends on the diet. I eat mostly vegetables, rice sometimes, and almost never drink water (I just force myself with mouthwashes before sleeping, with some dilluted and clean seawater it's even better), never feel thristy because my diet is extremely low in sodium (maybe too much even) and ultra rich in fiber

>That's a pretty glib dismissal of a peer-reviewed and heavily cited study with a ton of data.

I explained why regardless of study quality, the study can't support the point you want it to. You're not addressing my point, just making a vague appeal to authority.

>Calling any of these interventions a social sledgehammer is laughably hyperbolic.

What interventions are you referring to? You yourself referred to wokeness as "flawed and overly bandwagoned".

>How does any of what I said really on racism being simple?

You argued, without any supporting evidence, that it couldn't be the case that efforts to reduce racism could make it worse. If racism is complex then we shouldn't be surprised by counterintuitive results like that.

>The name on the resume is obviously a symptom of a larger problem and only one of many ways someone's race shows up in any number of consequential situations far more difficult to spot, like in neural network derived decisions.

I didn't claim that removing names from resumes was a complete solution, but it's suspicious that there seems to be so little interest in it, given that it could be very impactful.

Additionally, reducing hiring discrimination should have positive downstream effects: As Black people get better jobs, they move up in social class and that reduces stereotyping.

I think the fact that you aren't interested in an incremental solution should make you wonder if you're part of the flawed woke bandwagon you referred to. Remember, lots of incremental solutions can add up to a complete solution.

>No I don't blame crime fighting for the increased resistance to crime fighting because the actions taken by cops that people are actually mad about are crimes and opposing them is crime fighting.

By the same token, many people who claim to advance social progress may actually be advancing social regress.

I consider abolishing the police to be political extremism. See this article: "Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/opinion/sunday/floyd-abol...

We had a second fairly soon after but we were in our early-mid 30s. By 50 your natural energy levels are probably much lower already. It can be grueling but they get easier in my mind every day. At 4 years old my older kid is quite independent and funny. I can just ask her to play and have a snack and go to the bathroom while I clean my office or whatever. Daycare also means you will have actual alone time.

But it is best to accept that you are a parent first now. Not an introvert, engineer, whatever other nonsense you thought you were. You’ll have more time to yourself eventually but the first two years are tough!

I used to blog, and to be honest, I am embarrassed of about 90% of my posts. I trimmed 90% of the posts that annoyed me a year later, and the 'cream' or the golden crop remain, the ones I am proud of, and had the most impact on people.

My blog is in archive mode now. (BTW: Not linking to it here for privacy reasons).

I am thinking of blogging again, only this time I might use a pseudonym so my ideas are not forever tied to my legal name.

I will also be very careful about what I publish. I am thinking of having a delay of 6 months before I publish so I can edit parts that will inevitably annoy me.

For some reason, after hitting 'Publish' that's when I see the mistakes, even after previewing the draft several times and deemed it 'perfect'.

Things will go wrong.
This kinda fits with my small-town / rural / tourist-economy real estate market... the people who are selling right now are those who have an incentive to sell (need to move for life reasons) rather than opportunistic sellers. The buyers I'm seeing at the moment are first-time buyers - yes interest rates are higher now, but they aren't competing against ten other cash buyers like they were in the past year+.

We are seeing new construction sitting in some cases - but I'd argue it's because of greed and stupidity. We have some new developments in the area that are grossly overpriced for their locations, poorly built, and the developments themselves were poorly designed - even in a hot market they were having trouble moving, and now that the market has cooled, they look even more ridiculous. Alternatively, the new construction that is fairly priced and actually meets buyers expectations are still moving - albeit at the slower pace of the rest of the market.

When spring rolls around, I'm fully expecting a rebound. Maybe not to the same competitive level and pricing as a year ago, but that's a-ok - better to have a more balanced market anyway.

It it is an interesting conversation to me even if it moves into a philosophical realm, where I have little to no experience. Why would we think of ourselves as the representatives of the universe, whereas we are closer to resembling atoms at the scales involved ( and even that seems to embellish our relative size ). Does having feelings, hopes and dreams bestows the status of an envoy? Nihilists do not see things as meaningless, which may carry negative connotations ( 'the cancer part' ). Rather, things are devoid of meaning. Nihilists recognize that meaning is not inherent, but rather ascribed by the person experiencing the feeling.

I will admit that I chuckled at the cancer comparison. How does the universe consider, which cells are 'good'?
Because if it's not a default, and it has toggle, they will take it away eventually. Second thing is, many people leave it on default, so if I sit down at anyone's, they will have it in the center.

At the end of the day, I don't care about it the slightest. The reason I mention it is because it's a small thing in a long chain of abuse that Microsoft inflicts on the people via its product. A reminder that you're not the boss, things will change, and you'll suck it up, because you won't have alternatives. And I really hate this reminder. I actually stopped using it as my main driver ages ago, and they can still relight the hatred in me so easily with things like this.
