   My 2c from personal experience (n=1): 1) Burnout is acute exhaustion caused by successive days of lack of sleep, successive weekends of working late with long delays in launch, feedback or project completion. 2) Depression (not the clinical

   Not just that but mostly because we (humans) are the cause of their disappearance. So we ought to care.

   I began my programming career in 1997 with the IBM AS/400 and a Windows version of a 5250 terminal emulator. Setting up an intelligent colour scheme was considered a talking point at water towers. COBOL and RPG were the only two busine

   Interesting read. Thank you very much for posting. I also read about a Hubble Extreme Deep Field image in December last year. I am still left flabbergasted that that image exposes only the space of the night sky covered by your thumbnail if

   I admit that it does sound crackpotish [sic] - I am the OP. Is this better? -> The common understanding of T2DM is that it is a problem of sugar and therefore diet. That's only half of the equation of the physiology leading to T2DM.

   I am not a doctor. This is what I have learned so far (there are no references here - sorry, I will need to dig up the material to substantiate this if you ask): The upshot: Managing diet is not sufficient (for type 2) remission. The damag

    Allow me please to ingratiate myself with pity. I know exactly what sort of (negative) energy I have pent up in me. Resentment. I get triggered for being short-changed a penny just as much as being robbed of of hundreds. I boil to illogic,

    I took it to mean that it’s more akin to organized religion than it is to the isolated idea of meditation and its benefits. I could be wrong.

    I was going to say the same thing. We really need a HN hall of fame for many of these types of comments. Pure gold. Made my Sunday.

    This is all well and good if the grind is about next level “material things”. A bigger house, another car, private schooling for the kids, that holiday etc. But there’s a huge proportion of humanity that has to grind just to keep their hea

    I think you’re right. I’m going to leave my embarrassment unedited for all of internet history. (If anyone knows Douglas Rain’s voice type, I’d appreciate some education.)

    The deactivation of HAL 9000, a scene that took over 6 minutes of running time, is one of the most indelible cinematic memories from my teenager years. I have never felt more conflicted with empathy for and gripped by fear of an electronic

    “ETL” also involves data modeling. This is a thinking role beyond many people’s understanding. Quite often the “Thinkers” demand data but have very little understanding how to structure it when you get temporal aspects (slow changing dimens

    Thank you for this. I was bruising reading the article. I also agree with your point about vacuums in supply chains closing quickly.

    I believe it is. OECD considers this under the broad heading "intergenerational transmission of disadvantage". In a crude way, it is equivalent to saying that poverty is largely hereditary (sic). This, if the factors at play to br

    Thanks for this. I was imagining how cool the presentation would have been with overlays of beginning of life & species. You've done it - and ended it with good humour! Thanks.

    Point well made. I could never put my energies behind something I knew to be false, dangerous, unhelpful or something I myself didn't believe in. Does it mean you have to be somewhat ethically and morally "flexible" to get go

    This is a good thing you're going through. Yes, really. It's time to trust your instincts and remove the shyte, the cruft and unnecessary burdens from your life. "This shit life, we gotta chuck some things," said Michael
