  • It's difficult to say, really. It's a form of acceptance. Accepting that you are who you are, taking things at face value rather than second-guessing everything you hear. I've got a decent head on my shoulders and feel more confident in my own abilities.

    It wasn't until I decided to call in sick from work last September. It was not a great winter to get through and taking a long, hard look at myself, my environment and my past was a very painful process.

    I've been pretty aware of the fact that I was in need of psychological help since somewhere around 2018. Since then I've taken one step, in 2018, but didn't follow through. I muddled my way through my last year of college, graduated, worked at a small publisher for about 3 years before moving to my current employer, moved, had a lot of personal stuff going on...

    The step I took last September, to basically hit the brakes, was a turning point for me. But it took until the end of February to actually feel like I was on my way back up.

    So in short: it's pretty much all about confidence. Once you've accepted yourself for who you are, you'll no longer feel like a burden to others. You'll most likely also realize that people don't often judge you without telling you stuff. After you've had an interaction, there is no need to wonder 'oh I wonder what they'll think of me, what will they think of me saying this or that'. Your overthinking will slow down a bit.

    Couple of caveats:

    • I am very aware of the priviliges I have gotten along my life and I understand not everyone can just call in sick for a year and get full medical support from their jobs, or be able to just freewheel through college;
    • I am still a long ways from where I need to be and I'm starting both therapy with a psychologist and something called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in group form.
  • I have a colleague who actually behaves in a way that I recognized right away. It is something I used to do a lot; talking like I was a burden on others, like the time people spent with me was time lost for them.

    It takes finding out a root cause to stop this. Me, I'm a perfectionist. This manifests through me being a people pleaser: I hold myself to really high social standards and expect others to also set the bar high for me. I really don't like it when people are disappointed by my actions, so that causes me to apologize more than necessary.

    I've taken stock of my life the last six months and made a lot of progress on this front.

    The best thing she can do to change her behavior is acknowledging she has an issue to begin with. As long is she is happy with her current behavior and you are not, the only thing you can do is explore why she feels the need to be like this and see if she can alter her behavior without distancing herself from who she is.

  • Meh Nederland is al behoorlijk veramerikaniseerd. Ik denk dat er voldoende struisvogelpolitiek wordt toegepast hier.

    Daarnaast is Nederland nooit echt een land geweest dat op haar principes gaat staan als het er zelf niet beter van wordt. Ik vermoed dat het een flinke geste van de VS gaat kosten om eens stil te staan bij onze afhankelijkheden.

    Ik heb wel geïnventariseerd wat ik allemaal aan VS-spul en -dienst gebruik. Naast het onvermijdelijke (Windows, Android, Hollywood-series en -films) is er vrij veel Azië en Europa aanwezig op techgebied.

    Nederland zal op het moment inzetten op een Trump-impeachment en verbetering vanaf 2028. In het geval dat dat niet gebeurt, gaan we vanzelf achter Frankrijk of Duitsland aan wandelen.

  • Not bad but it's interesting how Vietnam and Nepal are on par with continents. I feel like this might have been drawn by someone from East Asia or South America, considering how it is positioned. Also noting Asia itself is not mentioned. There is no Middle East.

  • Wouldn't the Google TV Streamer be plenty for you? I think it's quite a bit cheaper than the Shield too. However, you're gonna be hard pressed to find a device more powerful than the Shield so if it's sluggish there might be something wrong with it.

  • They have been omitted and registered as technical debt but they went ahead with the release anyway since the CFO's assistant only needs about half these anyway. For the coming three sprints, we will hire an external dev to finalize the card while it is in production. Any other developments on this will go to the backlog until the release is done.

    • IPC
    • Instruction set
    • Levels 1 through 3 cache
    • Performance per watt, usually measured by benchmarking, gives you an idea of efficiency

    Generally, you can assume that a newer CPU with a the same thread count as an older CPU will outperform it.

    However, you'd have to keep in mind a CPU is a very complex entity comprised of its cores, its cache, its bridges, its controllers and whatever I'm missing. Intel, for instance, would not make any huge changes to architecture every other generational skip. It's what they called tick-tock. The tick would be a new concept, the tock would be a refined version.

    But redesigning the entire chip, ie its lithography, the layout of what is positioned where, all the way down the to smallest detail, will have some effect on performance. It's difficult to quantify, hence the need for benchmarking tools like Geekbench.

  • Ik krijg een beetje de kriebels als ik lees dat een regime onder Trump een 'loophole' in de WTO-reglementen weet te vinden. Over het algemeen praten ze alsof ze een nieuwe fiets hebben en dat dat ze de de facto populairste jongen in groep 5 maakt, ook al moeten ze om de week nablijven omdat ze hun Rekenen-huiswerk niet hebben gemaakt.

    Dan is óf de regelgeving van de WTO te laks, óf zijn er toch nog Trumpets met de hersencapaciteit van twee of meer amoeba.
