Ah, crypto seems so boring now lol
Assuming you make something like 130k CAD you are in the top 5% of earners in Canada and the top 1% in the world. Hacker news and other online communities are extremely biased in terms of representation of income.

It's often hard for people to truly grasp how utterly poor the vast majority of the population is. This also leads the wealthy to be confused as to why tech workers are often so hated and also envied in the general population. Essentially we are the rich, meanwhile we pretend we are somehow "average" simply because we only look at those very few people even richer than us.

For the actual average person these conversations are wealthy people complaining that they are not as wealthy as other wealthy people. I don't blame them for having no sympathy. Then you get articles and comments talking about the "end of in person work" pretending as though the majority of people who will never work from home because their jobs are such that they cannot are somehow simply not even people. It's not a good look.
Thanks for sharing, that situation is not great and you did the right thing. One a side note, is your username a reference to the University of Waterloo?
A day where I’m constantly dealing with incoming random crap that has me context switching all day leaves me exhausted and unhappy.

A day where I can shut that out and focus on a couple things intensely usually leaves me feeling energized and happy and like I actually did something productive.

I think a good manager tries to keep his team mostly in the second camp, but sadly means spending more of their own time in the first.
> The worst one was a manager that would swoop down with heroics, take credit for other people's work, not support reports on ideas you had, played the blame game, etc.

Sounds the type of person that typically gets promoted into those roles.
Implementing Atomic Habits in IT
There is more than just whatever urbanised area you happen to live which gave you this rather myopic view. Even in the Netherlands - where housing is expensive - €300K will give you plenty of choice [1]. In the south of Sweden it will buy you a largish villa while in the north it buys you a large farm.

Supplementation can also work wonders. There is literray almost zero downside to it except wasting money. So if you have some money to waste, start experimenting.

The above advice is solid, but I would add number of others. CoQ10, C in multiple forms, ALCAR, D, Bromelain, concentrated fish oil, etc.
As long as Apple excludes other browsers from iOS, Safari is safe and web devs will work with it. They need iPhone users.

It's probably not helpful to point out that boys are depressed too. I think with the loss of interpersonal connections with people spending so much time on the internet, in vague but unsatisfying online "social connections", & then COVID cutting further ties that connect us, there's a widespread loss of our crucial human connections. I have no solution. Young girls and women face particular pressure from a focus on their appearance and attractiveness of course.
> we should discuss the possibility that choosing to have kids are the ultimate cause of OPs issues

That doesn’t make sense.

Considering OP’s efforts, having kids is presumably an objective in this person’s life. If he wasn’t breathing, he wouldn’t have these problems, so why not discuss the possibility that the ultimate cause of OP’s problems is that he’s breathing?
The daycare my kids go to reduced rates. Maybe it is big enough that the paper work is not a big deal. The new subsidized daycare made things cheaper for everyone I know.

I don't think thats true since you can prompt it a completely novel pattern in the same way the W95 key was described and get correct output.

Except it has some limitation in calculating sums and divisibility, however you can even get around that by telling it the steps more explicitly, like you don't say "must be divisible by 7 with no remainder", instead you tell it how you generate numbers that are step by step so its "thought process" is part of the output. Its like you write a program step by step in natural language.
This makes sense. I think hard in my job, and by the end of the day I end up taking the night east - long dinner, a workout, talk with wife. I have many personal “to dos” I’d like to do, but it has been really challenging for me to consistently set time for them during the work week because I’m so “tired” from work.

Everyone is fat. Traditionally male models of success are being pushed on girls. Boys are backlashing against feminism hard. People aren't growing up in stable homes with both parents around and single mothers are WAY more likely to medicate their kids into submission via medical diagnosis.
It's more complicated than that.

Sun didn't slow down on UltraSPARC or make an Itanium side bet. IBM did (and continues to) place their big hardware bet on Power--Itanium was mostly a cover your bases thing. I don't know what HP would have done--presumably either gone their own way with VLIW or kept PA-RISC going.

Pretty much all the other RISC/Unix players had to go to a standard processor; some were already on x86. Intel mostly recovered from Itanium specifically but it didn't do them any favors.
> Content aggregation in the form of applications like Tik Tok, IG reels, YouTube shorts, and even HN have the ability of providing hours of content and then some by just refreshing the page or scrolling down.

Like over a thousand TV channels? And yet for some reason we were all pretty ready to ditch cable and pursue other entertainment options. Easy isn't enough. (I'm amused by how long this has been going on; Victorians had a similar panic about novels. Though given how I was glued to a book when I was forced away from the digital world, they may not be wrong there either.)

> The internet is novelty manifest. There are single sites alone that can keep someone occupied for days. Content aggregation in the form of applications like Tik Tok, IG reels, YouTube shorts, and even HN have the ability of providing hours of content and then some by just refreshing the page or scrolling down.

Is it, though? It's novelty manifest compared to the pre-Web (and pre social media) days. But that was 30 years ago, and the Internet sure looks a lot less novel when you compare it to the Internet in 2010. You think the iPad babies are going to find anything novel in TikTok? Of course not.

Novelty requires constant change, or else it stops being novel. Not just in the content, but also in the delivery mechanism. Being raised on digital content consumption, I use TikTok but after being glued to it for 3-4 months, I picked out enough of the similarities in content that it started being boring. Another weakness of the current social media landscape that shows up the longer the audience has engaged is recycled content. For example, TT has figured out that I like history content. It has not figured out that I've been looking for stupid fun history tidbits for decades and I already know what it's showing me. "Did you know...?" YES. YES, I DID. It's informational blue balls. I spend too much time on TikTok, but I also spent too much time on LiveJournal, IRC, Usenet, Tumblr, and Reddit. Showing me something new is way harder than a random 13 year old.

Another example is the phenomenon of how people who are porn addicts usually end up seeking out new and novel stimuli because eventually the same old gets boring. That still applies to TikTok: The people who want thirst traps will eventually stop being tickled by the 50th one because it's too similar and their dopamine receptors demand an upping of the ante.

I basically have hope because the human organism requires change. And because human adolescents really like doing the opposite of what the last generation did. We're due for another Great Awakening and shit is going to get weird. If Millennials and Gen Z are obsessed with content consumption, our grandkids are going to rebel pretty hard. I expect some very strong social/cultural taboos around entertainment and content use will show up in a few decades.
It would be much more useful if you could save / restore checkpoints. And because it gets wiped on every reboot it means you can never test software that needs to restart the machine (to install services and whatnot).
No one probably wants to hear this but my partner's grandmother was in hospice. Her grandmother had so much anxiety about dying (she was in her late 90s) that the hospice just kept her doped up with morphine 24/7 (this is a lot more common than you'd imagine). When she was sober enough to realize what was happening she'd just scream.

Anyway, that really did a number on me for the next few months. Seeing someone so distraught having reached the end of their life, clearly unhappy with everything that had led up to that point, unable to really accept that this was the end. Was profoundly depressing but also extremely motivating to not waste my time on things I'm not happy with.
> Very frequently updated laws everywhere (multiple orders of magnitude faster than today)

Democracy is inherently a poor choice whenever expertise is needed. It's better to let experts do their thing and then hold them accountable for the results.
I don't think any of those are a tall ask for powerusers in 2023
> By eschewing domain names, you've already killed any chance of a mainstream audience for the site. That's fine, but it's also not particularly complicated for the users to support an alternative protocol where you don't need TLS if it's already so niche.

These are very different. If need to convince your audience to get and install some alternate client with an alternate protocol, now you audience it at best only a few techies who can do that for themselves.

Whereas sending anyone an URL they can click on with any client, even if it identified by an IP address instead of a hostname, is as easy at it gets.
In other news, physics is the basis for human intelligence.

There are also interesting sub cases of this: exercising self control or will power fatigues the ability to exercise self control.

Making important decisions (as in by a judge judging) fatigues the ability to make important decisions.

“Religions of the World” speculates that one of the keys to Buddhas long and productive life was partially a result of his taking time each day for quiet non-action, each week , and for a portion of each year (the rainy season).

High productive humans are in it for the long haul and plan for that.

Short term, high productive corporations are good at making people feel that everything is a life or death emergency and when the humans burn out, they hire more.

Thanks so much for crafting and sharing this, lot3oo. I've been archiving Calendar.app events via icalBuddy[1,2] like so[3], but there's no telling how much longer it will work (last update was a decade ago). Having a straightforward shell script that can convert ICS to CSV should work well for a long time to come (so long as Apple doesn't pull support for exporting to ICS, of course). Thanks again!

He wasn’t sentenced for it, but rather it was mentioned as the reason for the maximum punishment being doled out for the nonviolent crimes he was convicted of. Which, yes, is still extremely suspect because he never got his day in court to address that allegation, and I think his appeals are based more on altering that prejudicial sentencing rather than the conviction itself.
This is what I experienced in college!

A stressful gauntlet of trying my hardest, only to be met with failure, which generated self-loathing and hopelessness, eventually resulted in an emotional "snap". It wasn't gradual; I think I felt it the minute it happened. It was sudden. It was, "Oh, suddenly I can't bring myself to care anymore." It was like dropping a heavy load onto the ground and finally being free.

It felt exactly like "a defense mechanism has been installed in my brain preventing me from hurting myself like that again". From then on, I had much more self-compassion, regardless of how things turned out, and I felt emotionally decoupled from my performance or self-perceived intelligence. (Disappointing people still hurts when it hinges on those things due to the personal connection, but impersonal metrics like grades or money or whatever ceased having an effect.) I couldn't work or focus as hard as I did before, when I self-flagellated myself to with shame and insecurity. That seemed like a potent fuel source, like coal or gasoline: powerful but dirty/unhealthy long-term. ;p

I don't feel like I have that anymore. I can't really "push through" using it. But I'd say I'm only debuffed like 10 or 20% -- not by a HUGE amount, and what motivation I marshal now feels a lot more sustainable and grounded in my actual, day-to-day well-being. I think learning and striving from a place of self-security and self-compassion feels a LOT better, even with that debuff. (Compared to from a place of "OH GOD I GOTTA DO THIS OR I'M NOT AS GOOD AS THAT PERSON OR GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS OH GOD OH FUCK[0]".)

So, oddly, for me, it felt (and feels) great.

>When I have to think hard about something for work I have to push past that and then I feel an intense dissociation while I do.

I don't even feel capable of pushing too far past beyond my boundaries. I simply don't. It's kind of a like high-functioning depression for me, where the "can't get out of bed" factor kicks in at like "175% of your typical day's workload". I still "work hard" on things, and people regularly say I do or say that I'm working all the time, but I only hit like 150% max.

For me, it's also been several years while only a year for you, however. Maybe that changes things!

Also, the "coal" and "gasoline" of insecurity were probably coming from ego. I think that's what broke: my ego. If your starting point wasn't "I have to do this because my ego tells me I should be able to so my self-image is completely wrapped up in it", like mine was, that might also change things.

yes absolutely, 'Italian' is Florentine right?

Same with modern French, which is basically Parisian, modern Spanish essentially Castillian. There is never an neutral language, it is linguistic supremacism one over the other. I absolutely respect Sicilians (and other regional groups) for resisting 'Florentine cultural imperialism'

If a Tesla Semi carrying 11 Jersey barriers on a flatbed weighs 82,000 pounds then their absolutely is a reduced payload. There HAS to be a reduced payload because lithium ion batteries have a MUCH lower energy density by mass than diesel fuel.

$247 billion in improper payments in fiscal 2022

"At least" $35 billion in pandemic relief money
- $29 billion was in the Pandemic Protection Program
- $6.9 billion was in the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program

IRS has 975 tax and money laundering cases related to pandemic fraud with a total of $3.2 billion in alleged fraud. 236 already sentenced for avg. 37 months in prison. ~100% conviction rate.

From: https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-23-105523.pdf "the lower bound of this fraud rate (7.6 percent) extrapolated to total spending across all Unemployment Insurance (UI) programs ... suggest over $60 billion in fraudulent UI payments."
- Cases of Proven Fraud: "currently $4.3 billion dollars of fraud based on formal determinations"

From: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-22-104397 and https://www.asas.org/taking-stock/blog-post/taking-stock/202...
- Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) provided producers $31.0 billion for various commodities ... half of the producers that GAO reviewed did not provide full support for their payments. The payments are therefore potentially improper.
- USDA’s Business Center 2021 payment integrity review for CFAP estimated that CFAP had a significant improper payment rate for the fiscal year 2020 ... estimated that that $450M were improper.

Compared to current expenditure and human resources spent on treating and understanding cancer, what would constitute a real "decision to cure cancer" for you? Twice as much, ten times as much?

Do billionaires and powerful politicians (or their loved ones) deliberately die of cancer because they collectively decided not to find a cure for cancer?

Are you willing to entertain the idea that we don't yet fully understand cancer or even our own biology, and that said understanding may not be a "simple" function of money and brains, but requires a bit of luck as well?

Most historical breakthroughs in science weren't an outcome of bruteforcing the problem with shitloads of money and manpower. People tend to fixate on the Manhattan Project too much; it is not a great analogy, because by 1940, the understanding of the fundamentals was basically complete.

We don't understand cancer nearly as well as we understood nuclear fission at that time. Hell, we don't understand aging very well yet, and cancer is a typical disease of old age.

Meh. I've made my own layout and have been using Linux and Vim for the last 15 years or so. The context switching is barely noticeable and I think you're vastly overestimating the effort this kind of setup demands of you once you get comfortable. It all feels so natural to me.

People who don’t have kids won’t have the specific problem of paying for their kids’ expenses and being as constrained for time during working hours.

But for those, this conversation does not apply.

You can make a different argument that working in office prevents you from exceeding being a wage space, because you can’t run a side business or live on a beach as you always wanted.

The essence of the article is the alternative code of working in an office, you seem to make it about whether one should have kids, as if the cost was a deciding factor for those who consider to have kids at all. Which it supposedly is for some, but not all.
Of course you can proof the safety of a chemical compound for human consumption (at least to the best of current technical abilities and within an acceptable margin of error). This is done for i.e. drugs thousands of times each year. Yes it costs money and time, but that is about the only serious objection. You could also go to a risk based model, where the burden of proof for groups of chemical compounds shifts based on experience with similar compounds, potential environmental impact, local and global measurements, etc.
