Unfortunately there is no recipe for rapidly re-booting yourself, your motivation or anything about you.

There are some red flags here. The request of your presence in the office, not having a roadmap, missing features / bugs list, etc. What I'd do is to get rid of them asap.

But.. There is zero time to chill-out? There is always time and it is flowing. At this point, it doesn't matter if you sit in front of your computer for 12 hours; it's what you've done on your time. Stop. Take 2-3 days off and tell them to organise in the meanwhile. Tell them about how they are consuming you and when you get back at working you want to do things better.

Go out to the nature on your off time. Go to a swimming pool or swim in the sea if you can, ride bicycle, run, read something you've enjoyed in your childhood. Take the computer out of your sight. Spend time with your family, the ones those make you just happy. The idea here is remembering how it's to be happy and productive. Also some thoughts will occur such as are you doing everything as you should? are you alright with the outcome of the work you've completed so far? etc.

Good luck with it and hope you can overcome this.
That's a utilitarianism, not totalitarianism. Utilitarianism is a philosophical outlook, totalitarianism describes a category of government. I don't think this counts as totalitarian because it was not the government who did the pushing here.

I had the TC1100, was able to pick it up cheap from liquidator of computers.

I had to figure out ways to undervolt the CPU so I could extend the battery. The battery typically lasted maybe 1-2 hours, but by undervolting I had gotten it to about 3. It was incredibly bulky and heavy, and it had no actual touch ability. It would heat up quite a bit.

Now the one good thing about it was it had a very accurate Wacom digitizer and man could it write notes. Shame there was never a good app for it.(OneNote maybe).

I think Microsoft took a cue from the way TC1100 provides a keyboard(not a shitty SurfaceRT one) that you can connect to and it's sturdy. Something I think the Surface is doing.

So overall not a usable device. My only question is that someone like Steve Jobs being around the same time never thought to release an Ipad at the time. I wonder why, did he think that the tech just wasn't ready hence not worth spoiling the user experience.
I hope that the irony of this article being posted on the internet isn't lost on anyone.
The changes required to adapt to these stores ... are minimal

The changes from what, though? I've just looked through both the Chrome Store and Firefox Marketplace sites, and it's still not clear to me what they actually offer to users, or what their business model is, or in Chrome Store's case how developers even get involved (assuming they can figure out what they are getting involved in or why they care).

Both sites seem to be unclear about almost everything, including what they do or why I should care as either a user or a developer. So it's not really surprising that most web developers here aren't targeting them.

Dilbert Creator Reveals The Simple Formula That Will Double Your Odds Of Success
Sounds like the advise is obvious: Change jobs! "Vertical advertising for sports betting" sounds like the definition of useless to society. The management issues don't make things better. No pay is worth working at a job like that.

That being said, if changing jobs is not an option in the near future, here are some tips:

1. Take pride in what you do. Try to write the most beautiful code. Learn new technologies. Make Easter eggs.

2. Remove friction and sources of frustration. For example if you write tests, you don't have that felling that you might have broken something after you made a change.

3. Communicate. Explain people how you fell. Probably, people don't realize they are disturbing your concentration. Maybe they can send an email or make an appointment.

4. Plan a vacation.

5. Accept things the way they are. If some days you are not as productive that's okay and ultimately not your fault.

6. See the positive.

Google doesn't even need experience in building cars.

They can license their technology to UPS and Fedex and make billions. They can license their technology to Uber, ZipCar and taxi companies and make billions. They can license the technology to traditional automakers and make billions.

The self-driving car ecosystem might end up very similar to Android. Google makes the software, and others make the hardware. Or they can just buy an automaker if they want to sell their own cars.

I would probably draw in QuantumGIS and export as shapefile. There are many many ways to draw or otherwise generate spatial data. I think it depends on what you mean by 'effectively'?

Edit: Ok, I just re-thought your comment, and perhaps you mean to 'highlight' the existing road paths if they are also bus-routes. That would be trivial if your roads lines have attribute "bus_route". You can also add the attribute, then in QGIS you can select such paths, edit them and set the attribute as 'true', in TileMill you would then add a style to change color for lines with such attribute. Also, if the streets have names and you have a list of such streets, you can do a CartoCSS selection based on the street names attribute.

The cover certainly can be used for commercial purposes: See the debate around Heino and his Cover-Album of Tote Hosen Songs. In your example the band was allowed to perform it in public (commercial usage here) and they could probably have pressed a recording and sold it. You need a license and need to pay royalties but that license cannot be denied to you (basically registering the cover with the GEMA is sufficient). Note that this applies to strict cover-versions only and only for songs registered with the GEMA - no major edits permitted.

If that still holds true if the cover is used in a documentary is a separate question. Also note that sampling is not covered by that paragraph (see Metall auf Metall).

Douglas Hofstadter is important because most AI work right now focuses either on (1) big-data-style statistical analysis or (2) emulating brain anatomy.

DH is the most well known guy of a small, stubborn group of AI developers who still believe that "human thought" can be reasoned about and can be understood in isolation, and that we can build intelligence without simply reducing it to statistics or to brain anatomy.

I applaud his efforts, and find some of the programs he's written both creative and refreshing.
Show HN: PrimaVista - instantly find sheet music
McDonalds has about about 1.7 Million employee's. For arguments sake lets round that down 10 1.5 Million. Assume none of them work full time, in-fact lets say they work 1/3 of a full time job so about 700 hours a year. That's just over 1 Billion labor hours a year. Now they make about 5 Billion in profit so just how much more pay can they squeeze out of that? Every dollar increase in base pay would shrink profits by 20%.

Perhaps making a rule that says that the power available to a "bicycle" can only be controlled through the pedals is what is needed. This would allow power-assist type "bicycles", but would not allow for a no-pedaling, hand-operated throttle type. (Those could be classified as "electric vehicles" or something else.)

(Also, maybe the maximum wattage of power assistance should be capped to keep it within the range possible from healthy humans.)

Well actually there is a recipe for getting your motivation back, and TheSmoke has pointed the way.

[1] Take a week-long break from work and do something enjoyable. If you can't take a break, go to step [2].
[2] In the long-term you need to either fix your attitude to your job, or change your job. If it's a contract job, see if you can last until the end of the contract, then take something else.

I suspect you will need to ditch the job. If you do that, make sure you try to take a break before starting the next time, to give yourself time to reboot your motivation.

If you're starting to experience any kind of serious depression or burnout, you really need to quit the job pretty soon before it gets out of hand (I've been there).

Just remember there are always other opportunities out there - you are never as trapped as you think you are.
I understand where you are coming from but when you get on the road you put your fate in not only your own hands but the hands of the drivers around you as well. You have to remember that while you might be an amazing driver with a perfect record there are plenty of other drivers out there that aren't and when it comes down to it they are a bigger threat to you than you are to yourself (provided you are not under the influences or otherwise incapacitated).

Looks quite nice, but I'm not going to try it without a free trial.

Changing email clients is a major chore, and I suspect that there's a good chance I might return to my boring old mail client after the initial delight of the new client wears off... With those odds, paying $10 for software that I probably won't end up using is not appealing.

Also, I feel that the word "beautiful" should be banished from app marketing copy. There are many things in this world that are beautiful, but I hope my threshold for beauty never gets so low that a grid view of email attachments would qualify -- that sounds like a state of mental disorder, experiencing Stendhal syndrome when faced with a GUI.

My biggest problem with maps these days is the data license for commercial use. I dont need very detailed map, usually administrative level 2, but it's hard to find accurate sources that dont make you pay thousands of dollars per small userbase. We create our own app and distribute it, therefore cannot exactly estimate our userbase. Does anybody know of a decent source with good, fairly detailed world maps and liberal license ? Doesn't have to be free.

No, our industry has a blogging problem.

Tech (is that our industry?) is not unique in it's practice of hosting happy hours, especially after conferences.

People like drinking. We could ask more conferences to host 5k jogs as an alternative meeting event, and it would be novel and fun, but it likely wouldn't ever be as inclusive as a happy hour (Also, it's hard to get 5 people in a circle talking while on a jog).

Not everyone drinks or likes drinking, but as a practical matter, it's:

1. convention
2. inexpensive for organizers
3. easy to organize
4. likely to encourage mingling and conversation

Which are important goals for organizers that aren't as easily met by alternate activities.
Here's a point that gets forgotten in a lot of discussions of this issue:

> We’re also underlining that our events are for over-18s, maybe even over-21s, by holding them in licensed premises. Most of us know students or even those who are working professionally in our field long before they are “adult.” Should they be excluded?

I agree - if you are go to school in the US you're exposed to binge drinking on a weekly basis - also - software engineers seem to drink a lot less than other industries like Finance, etc.
Every trade show I've ever been to has some kind of "reception" near the end of the first day, if not the night before the opening. Everyone is finally in one place and there's a bit of socializing going on at this point.

I agree completely that this example is not fully type safe---there is an implicit, partial schema where either Python exceptions or Haskell Nothings imply validation failure, but that's beside the point.

The example written has a lot of type resolution done implicitly by the typeclass mechanism. It ensures that only valid lens-like combinators are applied to the traversal chain... which is only an issue due to how far we can flex the lens library to do other things.

A better example is the somewhat more explicit version of this code

it ^? _JSON . _Array . nth 0
. _Object . key "someObject"
. _Object . key "version"
. _Array . nth 1

Where the _JSON, _Array, nth, _Object, and key declarations must match otherwise its a type error. Furthermore, the `nth` and `key` calls are both just type-restricted aliases for `ix` which help to convey via types what kinds of very general tools should be applied here.

We could also, for instance, throw another _JSON Prism into the chain to do a nested, schema-based validation for any types which have ToJSON/FromJSON instances.

Because the people who wanted to use it, can't. Because it gives out the wrong quotes.

The whole idea that you've asked this question is mind boggling to me.

Random people on the Internet throwing out there suggestions can't be healthy.

This is really just a rant, isn't it? Fine - rant on. But come on - to act as though people won't talk around the water cooler on Monday morning is just head-in-the-sand...
Certainly conferences have a drinking problem. I've been to conferences in many industries: Software, Consumer Products, Consulting, Financial Services... There are very hung over audiences in each.

I think the common theme is you have two audiences: Young people who like to party and overdo it, and old people who have a rare night out and inadvertantly overdo it.

I don't have empirical numbers, but I'd say many (half?) of the folks attending major multi-day conferences will have at least one rough morning.

Hard to pin this on just technology. And many folks don't act this way at home. (With small kids, anything more than 2 drinks can become an issue)
My "old school" brushed motor electric bicycle can do 25mph, without pedal assitance.
