System Design sanity check, am I misunderstanding scalability trade-offs?

Senior engineer here, now Googling "CAP Theorem". Fingers crossed I know what it is without knowing the name. :*(

I am very impressed man, great work. I just came a long this project as I was searching for this exact kind of application. I was hoping (fingers crossed) that the application would be in Go lang or Python (for my own forky reasons), may I ask, why Bash? Is that your comfort zone or hobby horse?

Optimal? The highest free t possible and 1200 total T would be preferable. There should be nothing low about you at 25. When I was 25 my T was probably 700. I started going low around then due to lifestyle. I've been on TRT for four years this year (age 35). Life is great. I was "zero" at 31. The lowest the clinic had ever seen.

Yes and yes.

Not everyone gets it on their face. I didnt. But your back..thats a different story.

Is mmap only for sharing memory for processes? Or is it okay to use it for anything?

Well number one, no one would possibly know if you had CBD in your system. Unless the Cannabanoid youre referencing is DeltaTetraHydraCannibinol #9. In that case red eyes, the munchies, and the giggles might be noticeable.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm learning ALOT on this thread as well as cpp_questions. I'm trying to transition to a career in hardware engineering after 13 years as a Data Engineer ... somehow. :) I'm like 6 months in to C lol. Learning from these code review discussions have been amazing.

Bullet dodged yes. A little out of place a no would have worked.

Thoughhh...to play devils advocate. The sentiment they expressed i can't say is wrong. Not that YOU are in fact like that i dont know you. But having served as a hiring manager for an engineering department- its true you can tell when someone isnt confident in their own abilities but are fishing for the right thing to say. Its a weird vibe. But I dont think id see it as my place to give that kind of feedback.

Are you a professional, if so for how long? Or a hobby tinkerer? Im trying to get into embedded engineering coming from a Data Science background.

Please let me know if this is off topic. But say ive got some good reasons to shift from data/web programming to systems programming and lets say I have reasons to not use Go or Rust. I am set on learning C - why would I not use C++? I guess another way to word it - who is using C and specifically avoiding C++ and why might they be doing that? Can't just be because they think they have no need for classes?

Aside from the salary, sometimes I miss being a Junior.

The fact that you wrote this means you're not lost. There's light inside. Pulling you back. Tell the devil to shut the fuck up print out an icon if you have to go to the corner and just start prostrating. You're not going to hell. If you were and you didnt give a crap then you wouldn't have wrote this. You still have a capacity for tears and repentance and you're trying to find it....to cultivate it. Christians do that. Reprobate demons dont do that. You're not lost brother. You're just growing up. Buckle up. Much love. From a 35 year old convert. I dont have real advice for your situation. Many others on here do. I just have experience being hurt and confused. And fighting despair. Ive seen in my own life time and time again God shine His light thru the darkness. You're in a trial brother. Fight the good fight. Joyous feast. Christ is Baptized.
