If u are increwasing the intensity/frequency of workouts and experiencing discomfort/pain, sounds like you should slow down that acceleration of your training.

Easy to overtrain and reduce gains.

In Jack Daniels book of running he talks about increasing workout intensity, you should only increase intensity of one variable of your training every 6 weeks, that way you give your body time to adjust to increased stress levels, you know what is/isnt working.

Rather slowly ramp up than try go too fast, get injured, and spend weeks sitting on the couch waiting to heal.

All of my work programming related queries have been like this, i end up reading their answer which sounds like it makes sense, but it just isnt relevant to the question i asked.

I had a job that wasnt a great for me, about two years into it i paid off all my debt and was hoping to make a career pivot to get into software development.

I just started taking longer lunches, was always polite and civil, but stopping making effort to communicate with directors when we were in the same room together.

Eventually, i was included in the layoff!

I think the natural order of things is chaos rather than peaceful order.

I work on a keyboard all day for about ten years now,

I got into PC gaming again after work, stopped because i didnt want to sit at a PC after work hours/carpal tunnel symptoms started up.

I got into doing pushups with bad form, stopped because i started getting wrist pain/carparal tunnel stuff from my bad form and then working on a keyboard all day.

To try prevent my desk job from turning me into a human potato:

I try walk before the day starts, run 4 miles at some point during the day, and end the workday with a walk to try keep the blood pumping.

I would assume if a drug made you want to eat less, and you had less cravings for sugar -> less cravings for booze

I saw something about people who dont drink alcohol usually indulge in sugary sodas or juices.

Were all just craving sugar! Some more than others

I read an article a while ago that said for high net worth individuals there is a backlog of people waiting for US to process giving up US citizenship, US is under no obligation to hurry processing.

Quick google search shows articles citing "30,000 backlog" of people wanting appointments to cancel.

This reminds me of the insane backlog of FBI background checks for NFA items (suppressors, machine guns, SBRs). Government has no incentive to process these things in a timely matter. People have to contact their congressmen sometimes just to push the sludge along. From what I've read it's not even a different background check than when you buy a gun either, just that the extra steps and the willful laziness to slowdown something the government probably doesn't like doing but has to.

You can buy a gun in 15 minutes at a gun store normally. Want to put a suppressor on it or that gun just happens to be 1" shorter than 16"? You're going to wait 9-24 months longer. Ridiculous doesn't even begin to describe it.

Government as a whole does have an incentive to process these things fast enough to avoid a backlog, since they get $200 for every transfer.

The problem is that government is so large that, in practice, the ATF doesn't care, because that $200 just goes into the US Treasury general fund. If they actually kept most of the tax they collect, I think we'd see much faster processing times, and eFile would have happened many years ago.

Most embassies have been canceling and not scheduling these appointments, since 2019. The wait at a lot of them is still several years. I had to travel to Azerbaijan to get it done in a timely fashion.

Yes it would be more efficient. But we know bad actors would manipulate the process. If i could make a dummy profile, see a question, then create a new profile after having time to prepare i could ace interviews for jobs im not really qualified for. Ive attempted to hire multiple devs over last year that clearly had someone else on a technical interview call so we ended up just cancelling their start date after discussion.

But if company has good relationship with recruiter it works,

I interviewed through a recruiter, company X gave me some questions, answered them correctly, did one or two algo questions correctly. X hiring manager wanted more experience regardless of my decent performance.

Recruiter shared results with company Y, Y hired me and was happy to avoid sitting through an additional 1 hour interview session with me.

Not a research env, but my approach to learning the env at new jobs regardless of industry:

-learning what business processes i need to try understand that will eventualy get converted into code. This is the hard part, requires relying on talking to other devs, any documentation, and learning what they need you to do.

-technical things i dont know but will need to know soon like we will do X written in Y to do Z (if i had never done X Y or Z i would try get familiar with that when time allowed).
