I have seen them doing an ultra marathon on the second night of no sleep. It's weird how you brain fills so much detail in. The creatures I could see were like gollum from LoTR but with reptilian skin..they were either smoking pipes or playing elaborate music on instruments I have never seen before..
The non-fiction book "Why people believe weird things" begins with the author's recounting of his own meeting with aliens, during a coast-to-coast cycle race where he had gone without sleep.
In reality it was his crew trying to get him off his bike before he fell asleep and fell off
I think its more about priorities to be honest. I work from home and I am currently getting towards the end of a training plan that will have me running an ultra marathon. Working from home has been a huge plus in achieving that, as time I would have spent commuting, has instead been spent running.
> Hardest challenge for me was staying in shape, because I lacked self-discipline to workout and eat healthy, but funny enough work didn't suffer and it was the most productive period in my life.
How do you expect that will be fixed by spending more time in the morning and at the end of the day commuting to work?
More freedom requires more self-discipline. When you are doing things like everyone else the systems are built for you. When you aren't you have to build those systems yourself, which can be harder than people think.
One thing that I feel will be the key is that I won't have to worry about missing out on something before 9am or after 5pm once I leave the office, it will help me "containerize" work.
The supply of tulips isn't fixed which is the key difference. The whole Tulip bubble came about from a large follow through spike in tulip production flooding the market, until supply inevitably outstripped demand, thereby setting the stage for a market crash. That's can happen to bitcoin, as its a fixed supply.
I really don't worry about this as a 46 year old engineer. For me I still feel young and I still love tech and my age just does not factor , and for anyone who it would factor, I don't want to work for. I have always had quite a good positive opinion of my talents / knowledge (but not to the point that I am a narcissist arsehole) and that has carried me well.
> It's OT but how many people actually use RHEL? Or CentOS (more likely).
A majority of Telcos, Banking, Military, Stock Exchanges, Medical and large commercial enterprises
Why?
Because when a system starts having issues at 4am dealing with x amount of transactions per second and the shit is going to hit the fan, they want top class support on hand and not to be awaiting on someone replying on a irc channel / mailing list.
I personally am an Arch user on my home machine and work laptop, yet servers that run commercial workloads and have SLAs tied to them will always run RHEL for the reasons above.
Awful advice to try and pull that one. Most managers will shake your hand right there or they are going to have in mind that you were previously looking for work and considering another offer, so are not a candidate they can build plans around. If hard times hit and companies have hiring freeze, followed by a head count reduction, you will be one of the first out of the door.
