One thing that helps me is this: whenever I'm in a situation that makes me nervous, I think about even more stressful situations in the past that I went through unscathed. For example, if I get nervous before speaking to a group of 10 people, I would recall events where I managed to present to a larger group of people. I was nervous then, but I "survived" it, no reason to think I wouldn't survive this one either.
It is like this. And I correlate it to tooth pain when biting into sweet candy with a cavity. It hurts like hell but by the time you notice, it’s gone and you’ve survived. Rejection is very painful but it’s important to remember to have a successful life that rejection is a fleeting moment and it can eventually become a passive experience that you can choose to notice and learn from or not and importantly move on from. This should give you the confidence to be “yourself” in any situation. (As you can tell I’ve been to a few classes)
Alright, since this is not the first time I see this: what the deal about people from Austin trying to shoo people away? As if Austin was really that great and everybody wanted to come there? And isn't it the case that the more tech people go live in the Austin, the better the tech scene and thus benefit tech people like you (I assume you're in tech)?
I had lived in the Bay Area, moved to Austin just to move to another place within a year. Austin has many nice things, but definitely not one of the top US cities I would consider building a family in. I can list out tons of things about Austin that would be deal breakers for many people and there are better cities out there in many aspects.
I'm truly puzzled by this sentiment from Austin people.
Most people came from CA are too liberal that is out of touch with reality, they ruined CA then came to TX for its next victim. I suggest them moving to North Korea directly instead. Without them Austin will be a much better place for sane people.
I can not wait for CA to become independent from the states.
The data I put in Google is MY property, I want that data protected and don't care less about servers just as I do not claim ownership to the school locker.
If you want it protected, don't leave it in clear text in the custody of someone else who may or may not choose to hand it over to the authorities without your permission.
In other news: you can't invoke the 4th amendment if you stash boxes of weed at a friend's house and he hands them over to the government when asked.
You are consistently morphing the issue and providing bad analogies.
There are privacy policies and terms of service that cover what a service provider will share with whom and under what conditions. This represents an agreement between the user and the service.
However, that is wholly different from the rights held by the government (IRS) to compel the service provider to provide information at the government's demand.
Your analogy with the "boxes of weed" are similarly misguided and completely unrelated. The more relevant analogy would be that the government forced your friend's landlord to unlock his door without a warrant, entered, discovered the boxes of weed with your name on it, then arrested you.
And, to put your analogy back into the subject e-mail context, if you e-mailed something incriminating to your friend and your friend opted to turn you in to the authorities, that is entirely different from the government gaining access to your e-mail of its own volition, and without a warrant.
So if I send a letter via USPS do I have the right to expect that someone will not intercept and open that letter without getting the correct permission?
Mail theft was a pretty serious crime in USA I am led to believe, regardless of whether it is sent in encrypted form or not...
bs. This makes it sound like these companies like Apple are harming the Chinese. I came from a developing country and I can tell you right now many people have to do much worse jobs to carve out some food for themselves and many others die from the lack of it. The moment you pull out jobs made possible by Apple and the likes, many will suffer.
Why would I prefer to plug and play (and toss away) micro, modular libraries/frameworks designed to interop or to be independently used instead of using a monolithic technology that pushes to my throat ObjJ, Cocoa and a other contraints that follow (like IE8+ only)? That needs an explanation?
What a hypocrite. You can joke dirty publicly, but when it comes to 2 friends making private jokes with one another, you become Joan of Arc, a heroine, an activist. Well "calculated" though, I have to say.
Don't know about Rails, but I'm building a MVP using Node.JS and hosting a free dyno. Can handle 250 reqs/s for dynamic requests (i.e. full stack, Postgres, Redis, Jade, Express etc.) and 1500+ reqs/s for static contents. I do use cluster with 3 workers though. Pretty happy with the result so far.
> Within a single request, Node can async its dealing with outside services (databases, api's, etc), but it is still only processing one request at a time. There is no 'synchronized' keyword in javascript. ;-)
This is as wrong as it can get. Multiple requests are processed "concurrently", in the sense that a request gets served as soon as an existing request awaits on async calls. It is different from thread-based concurrency and thus there is no need for things like "synchronized" keyword.
I think we are saying the same thing. When I say 'it is still only processing one request at a time', I'm referring to my code execution, not the async stuff or anything else within Node.
