I have discovered better music in my 30s and 40s and sort of regret my musical decisions in my teens and 20s.
Music to me is linked to my emotional state and like I’ve matured I’d like to think my music tastes have too…
but then I remember I’ve stopped listening to silly music of Fugazi and replaced it with the artistic stylings of Taylor Swift and I’m right back in my pit of despair knowing my musical sophistication is still out of reach.
Just happened to listen to Steady Diet of Nothing the other day. Maybe the first time in almost 30 years. That music is as good as ever. And could Reclamation be a more relevant song in 2024?
Yeah but none of this music slaps as hard as it did in my 20s. Don't get me wrong I appreciate it the same I'm sure, there's just such a thing as youth and emotion and I wouldn't trade that exploratory musical phase for anything.
I’m fairly confused by some comments here claiming Covid or vaccines were the cause as the article clearly points out the uptick in deaths started in 2012.
I tend to think it might be the uptick in use of amphetamines. Millineials and late genx were the first to use them in wide scale with a 2.5 increase and a second derivative maxima in 2012, the same time heart failures began dramatically increasing.
The increase from 2019-2021 (+2 years) was higher than the increase from 2012-2019 (+7 years). I wouldn't want to make any specific claims about the cause, but clearly the pandemic or the response to the pandemic was involved somehow.
Not necessarily. The CDC reported a sharp increase of stimulant prescriptions at the same time. Adjusted for population it’s not as dramatic as 2012 but still. Amphetamines are incredibly dangerous and cause heart failure and were being prescribed at an alarming rate until the last year.
Amphetamine usage steadily increased over decades while heart failure rates were decreasing. The article itself suggests that maybe opioid overdoses are being marked as heart failure rather than cardiac arrest which would make way more sense considering how relatively rare amphetamine overdoses are.
It is, but at some point several dependencies might not be updated successfully for whatever reason, and I would like Renovate to retry to PRs or just close them in favour of running other dependency updates and then trying again.
Hm, we have it setup to do all dependency updates on the same branch/MR. We’ve had broken builds but it’s typically because of a breaking api change in a dep. We’ve never really had issues but we’ve only used it for node/golang that has pretty good dependency management systems.
Certs expiring is a common occurrence and a source of many RCAs. Not keeping definitions of your configuration separate from running servers (and no baseline) is a big issue. Not keeping secrets in a secret storage and syncing them is another red flag.
Thing is, none of these are kubernetes issues. They’re poor practices, these aren’t lessons of running kubernetes they’re poor management of a system.
Every large organization is going to have competing interests and ideas. Whether it’s a difference in priority or project approach or perhaps an entire product.
Knowing how to navigate conflict is essential to any relationship including professional one. In addition knowing how to well communicate (e.g., sell) your ideas (or youself) is also needed.
I get there’s toxic individuals to take this to a dark place as they would anything. But at its core I don’t see anything inherently evil about it, perhaps just that it can make manipulative people become more public.
Well said. It does follow the network effect of propagating through systems. It requires important nodes to not spread further down and the close collaboration of other supporting nodes.
Anyone slightly higher in the hierarchy can have an effect.
Pros: Skiing. "The greatest snow on earth" is not just a marketing slogan.
Cons: Air pollution. It's a valley, and all the pollution gets trapped in the valley and can stay there for days.
Cons: It's less Mormon than the rest of Utah, but still Mormon enough that, if you're not Mormon, you can find it kind of stifling. (But pro to the con, or credit where due - it's part of why it's such a safe city for it's size.)
That bottom link says Salt Lake is below the national average in violent crimes, but higher in property crimes. Well, for "dangerous", I think of violence, not property crimes.
I've been taking Adderall for a very long time. Prior to it I had a very difficult time motivating myself and simply being able to block out a thousand other thoughts and stimulus. I developed techniques to cope prior to taking it but once I started it was like night and day. It doesn't at all make me smarter but allows me to decide what I want to do rather than some sub-cognitive part of me. Should people take it to make them smarter? In my experience it helps focus, not intelligence.
It gets cold in the desert. People head out to southern Utah to camp in October and November and are met with 40/30 degree weather and have to head back. Deserts can get really cold at night.
