imho, CT is horribly looking car with absolute disregard to any aesthetics. everything else is secondary. it has vibes of Aztec. one of the worst selling car ever.
I’m still shocked that the CT went into production.
I’m convinced that the CT could’ve become a legend if they had just done a limited run of like 500-1,000. At that level, nobody would care if it was poorly built or worked well as a truck. It’d just be a crazy collector item that would go to car shows.
>A glass of wine with dinner is unlikely to significantly disrupt your sleep
it will and it does. anybody who owns a smart watch with heart rate monitor can observe it. the proverbial glass is very visible as a spike of resting heart rate and especially horrible on HRV.
besides, there are "glasses" which can take full 750ml bottle. may be most people don't go such extreme but still very good to fool themselves about alcohol volume consumption
I would guess this is the same reason why one can't change git repo history without affecting people working with the repo. Merkle tree all over the store.
It wasn't restricted per se. Just it didn't exist or produced as a civil appliance, so you won't be able to buy it. But civil defense kits usually had the counter, so if you really wanted one you probably could get it. My dad got one right after Chernobyl disaster.
A bit unorthodox advice, start lifting weights. Heavy. Aim to build strength, not muscles or look. 40s is a great age to do this, better than 50s for sure.
For men, physical strength gives more confidence, and problems which you perceive hard will look less so when you are able to deadlift 500lb. And yeah, don't quit your current job without getting new one. Bad idea. And don't give away anything for free to your employer.If they want to fire you, make them sweat (in some places it is not easy process).
ps: speaking of taking 3-6-12 months off advises. Irrelevant of your situation, I think we are living through interesting part of the "hockey stick" curve when being out for one year could mean end of the tech career. Things move way too fast, and gaining velocity.
re your last paragraph, I'm not sure (another commenter told me to be more positive so here we go!)
In my ~20 year career, a huge amount of tech has just been: servers, frontend, backend, databases, queues, caches, auth etc. The big shifts have been gradual and evolutionary (eg NoSQL, OAuth, React, SaaS, Cloud)
Big fads that were going to disrupt tech work as we know it have not entirely lived up to their hype (at least from my perspective): No Code, Blockchain, Serverless, GraphQL, Big Data.
Tech is a lot of big companies who move very slow. Particularly outside of SV/US where there is less VC hype.
But, it could be different this time. It's of course something to keep an eye on, particular if I feel I need to ride the hype train to get back into things
>it's about money, corporate takeover, money, "efficiency," money, green, money, safety third, money, because fuck them that's why, money, $$$, money...
let me rephrase a bit. It is all about shareholders and how to make more money for them. Every single quarter. and if the CEO is not aligned with these values she will be replaced by new one. Not all CEOs are greedy bastards but the whole system is designed to eliminate every single person who cares about something else except short term returns for the shareholders. So good CEOs are out and bad CEOs are in. Survival of the fittest as it is.
nitpick: I wonder how TSP became NP complete. It would require to polynomial time algorithm to validate the solution. I doubt such algorithm does exist.
Strictly speaking, the only problems in NP are decision problems, so when we say "TSP is in NP", we're talking about the "decision version of TSP": given a graph G, does there exist a Hamiltonian circuit with total length <= K?
And it's straightforward to show that this problem is in NP, because if the answer is "yes", then simply exhibiting such a tour is enough to provide a polynomial-time-verifiable proof of the answer's correctness.
(Note that it is not known whether TSP is in co-NP, so it is not known whether one can produce a polynomial-time-verifiable proof of a "no" answer.)
But note that if it were to turn out that the decision version of TSP was solvable in polynomial time, then the optimization version would also be in P, because you can just binary-search on all of the possible values of K. This results in at most a polynomial slowdown.
As far as I remember Far was always extremely popular. As far as I remember before "free license" there were various cracks readily available. At some point the author gave up and said something along the line, I won't make money from "russians" anyway so please use this "license" and may be you will stop to produce those cracks!
When on Windows, Far becomes tool to go if you are developer. Powerful file browser with shell and quick viewer and editor, also with ability to create shortcuts to dirs and commands. All together it creates this mouse-free flow which many devs like.
