Love the idea of this. I've tried to use something similar (at least in function), called Cryptomator. However, Cryptomator would always choke on larger files or directories with thousands of items (e.g. my Google Photos gallery). Will be interested to see if this or another solution is what I'm looking for.
Serious question - what does detaching a thread in HN do? Because I still see it show up in the main comment section.
I could write an essay about my battle with sleep. I'm in my 30's and I finally think it's solved.
Sleeping meds, sleep studies, CBT-I, you name it - I've done it.
My ultimate solution ended up being:
- Earplugs
- Exercise
- Waking up the same time every single day, no matter how late I stay up. CBT-I had me wake up at 6:30 am every morning, and go to bed at 1 am. After a week of exhaustion, I started falling asleep like a rock. Then my therapist gradually had me go to sleep earlier and earlier until my time-to-sleep was still short and I had few awakenings during the night, but felt refreshed the next day. Turned out to be just around 6.5 hours a night
- No coffee after 3 pm
There are still nights where I have an active mind and have trouble sleeping, but I'll just let it happen without constantly worrying "oh no, I'm not gonna get ___ hours of sleep tonight". Because the minute you try to force yourself to sleep, it's over.
I was coming from academia with no real competitive background in machine learning/predictive analytics/statistics when I started applying for data science positions. I was coming from a post doc in computational neuroscience, and had done ML/your run-of-the-academic-mill stats as part of my thesis, but never had formal training in it. I landed a lot of interviews (and applied for an ENORMOUS amount of positions), but it took me a while to land a really solid offer. So just keep at it.
Once I got that offer and 'data scientist' was listed as a position on my resume, I've had at least one or two recruiters reach out to me each week. Not just your 'bulk tech recruiter', but individual hiring managers/team leads from companies who had no interest in me prior to the title change.
Hell, I had a manager I had already interviewed with from another company (and got rejected) reach out to me TWICE to come back in. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure he remembered that I had interviewed there only a month earlier.
All after I had the title change on my resume. What I'm getting at, is for me, the title change really opened up doors. I figure 'data science' is such a huge buzzword now, recruiters look more for that buzz word than they do for the actual content of what you've done on your resume. I'm sure it will die down at some point.
This may be more prominent outside of silicon valley where I am, and (in my opinion without any facts to back it up), where I feel more weight is given for the title than the substance.
