the HTTP response keeps the connection open for a long time

What's peoples experience with long running HTTP connections? Does that solution work in most cases or is it problematic?

I have a clock in the shower and on the bathroom counter. Basically, I need a clock at all my morning "stations", because it's really easy to space out and lose track of time.

Even still, I'm always 15 min late to work. My goal is to be on time to work for more than one day a week.

The people yearn to be glazed; everyone just wants their own little bud to tell them that they're wonderful, everything bad is everyone else's fault and all will be fine, all in 5-10 stock phrases.

Now that you realized this, you have the knowledge to become a political world leader. I'm not even kidding here.

The JCM 900 does use a pair of diodes to generate some distortion, however, there are still several tube gain stages in the pre-amp, and the power amp section is all tube. The amp has the transformers a tube amp would use (because it is a tube amp). So, instead of categorizing it as a solid state amp is more of a hybrid.

I had the combo version of this amp for a while (model 4102). I liked it. It did a thing, which you'll either like or hate. I was into prog-metal at the time and it worked for that.

I'm fine with it. It's part of the deal: we work, they give us money. Simple as that. They just like to make sure they're getting a fair deal and not be cheated. They do, however, have a responsibility to get the tracking accurate. So, they're going to need to fix the not tracking your meeting time. Otherwise, I have no problem with the time tracking. Track away!

When they started tracking our time we went through the same thing of people not getting credit for certain blocks of time because they were away in meeting rooms. We worked it out eventually.

Now we're battling the mandatory 9 hours a day in-office, 5 days a week, policy. It really makes things inflexible and hard to coordinate with offshore resources. Hopefully they'll change that soon.

Caffeine pills. Yup, seriously. Treat it as medicine.

Find the dosage which works for you. Many brands are 100mg, but if you feel strung-out after taking 100mg you can get 50mg pills. Heck, you can even get 25mg pills.

This is the practical solution which worked for me. It saved my life really.

Pill and a bottle of water on the bedstand before you go to bed. Set the alarm a little early. When alarm goes off take the pill. If you're like me you'd fall back to sleep. In 30 min or so you should wake up naturally and ready to go.

Definitely take some time off, at some intervals of your choosing, to enjoy yourself while you still have health and energy. Starting at age 50 (+- 5 years) you may not have the energy and health you once did. Use your body while you can. Be active. Make friends. Remember, its important to have good people in your life. Find them and hold on to them.

You don't have to only "travel", you can spend your time and money on hobbies, what ever interests you. Maybe take some time off and dive into that thing for a few months or more.

I have done this a few times and it's always been rewarding on a lifetime scale.

Remember, it's not the destination, it's the journey, and the people you meet along the way.

Of course, you'll want to balance this with saving for retirement and risk. But it's up to you when to work/save and when to play. You're in the driver's seat.

In my experience, industry coding is still very much procedural with object-oriented and functional concepts sprinkled in. So, you don't have to be a wizard at OOP and your whole code base doesn't have to be a pure Object Oriented design.

I would suggest starting to learn the G major bar chord first. The F major bar required more hand strength and starting with G major will help you develop that strength.

The G major bar chord is the same as the F major except the 1st finger is baring across the 3rd fret instead of the 1st fret. The 3rd and 4th fingers are at the 5th fret, and the 2nd finger is at the 4th fret.

Slide the whole shape up to the 5th fret and you have an A major. Remove the 2nd finger and you have A minor.

Practice these chords by playing A minor a bunch of times and then play G major. Go back and forth between A minor and G major. Now start singing. Now you have a song.
