Seems like a game of whack-a-mole. A person might get Reddit and Pushshift to delete their comments, but surely there are other less well-known companies mirroring Reddit. Maybe even clandestinely.

I think you're being facetious here, but HN does have a more than passing resemblance to early Reddit.

I remember reading Joel Spolsky's blog when he promoted Reddit. I jumped over for look and stayed. Threads and discussion were heavily tech focused. The format was a nice departure from slashdot, and there was a lack of digital "turf" wars. (Subreddits came along years later.)

16(?) years on - Reddit has metastisized into something different. I still enjoy parts of it, but it's definitely not the same beast it was in the beginning.

I am pretty sure I burned out in 2017. It has been a slow crawl back to normalcy.

The real trouble is that there is no end to the demands that a business will make on a person. A business can't halt and wait for your burnout to subside. A business needs to push the next widget out - and if you can't help with that then someone else will.

This is directly at odds with recovery. There's never enough time to feel proud and connected to your work. Just the next task.

C++ on Windows. It's an old codebase that has been used to run custom test hardware.

We also target Linux with the same codebase, but the environment is a bit different. On Linux we're using a system slice and we're not doing minidumps.

I agree. However, in our case, that pain has proven to be less than not having those minidumps.

It's still done. I did the code review for the guy who wrote it for our server. If we're crashing due to an OOM situation we still have enough memory to write out a minidump.

I'm old enough to remember a time before every TV station had a logo/watermark at the bottom right. In my mind, the logos coincided with the early 80s when VCRs became more commonplace. I suppose stations that licensed shows/movies, didn't enjoy the fact that people could record that content and reuse it. So... logos.

When I tried this two months ago it was great:

I think there are Firefox and Chrome add-ons/extensions that do similar things.
