diet is pretty important for me now as i try to watch my weight, i drink water or hot tea only, absolutely no soda, juices, etc, i also try to eat 60-70% capacity per meal as i dont exercise that much, mostly just sit in front of the computer all day, so there isnt a need for all those calories like before when i was lifting weights and playing basketball for 6 hours a day, few to little carbs (bread, rice, pasta), some fruit for snack, and absolutely no junk food. obviously if i exercise, i will have a little more carbs that day. but overall do you need that many calories a day?

you also need to train your stomach, it's like a balloon, eat too much and it stretches out and takes a while to get back into its initial size, so try not to binge eat (binge drink also, i used to olay tennis, could drink ,2 gallons of water in an afternoon), also keep in mind physical pro-portions of food/drink, so dont eat 4 slices of pizza and beer, go with 1 slice, and maybe some salad, some red wine.

i can totally understand your frustrations and this seems to be affecting you personally, but i think you should do some root cause analysis before you jump to conclusions, jumping to conclusions also burns a lot of mental energy. instead, just go have a conversation in private about what you think, not about being interrupted, but about your technical ideas, if he/she's really an asshole and just wants to drown you out, you should be able to tell from a private conversation, my guess is that the person gains more respect for you. if you have trouble articulating your thoughts in real time, write it down, send an email. dont guess what's at play here, find out the truth. if the people suck, switch environments, there are plenty of great companies out there.

the form factor of pcie devices doesn't really play well with rpi, but there's definitely a need for faster, more stable persistent storage. i have heard a lot of issues with microsd cards based on wear leveling and such. it would be really nice if rpi could develop like an m2 interconnect where i could install an nvme ssd within the form factor of an rpi, that would make for a truly incredible little machine.

regarding evernote, i use this religiously, but mainly for personal note taking with sync across devices.

an example use case would be like a set of apps that my family could use for photo sharing, messaging, sending data, links to websites, etc. perhaps another set of apps for my friends, another for my company, or school. the protocols would not require public infrastructure, dns, etc. perhaps tethering of devices would be enough. there would be a need for indexing and search, email, etc.

i'm sure this varies with the level of manager, for example, a vp's requirements versus a first line manager might vary alightly, but these are the generic ones.

i remember the good old days of setting up vms clusters and good old dcl. we had easily 96 node clusters, alphas and vax hw, if my memory serves me correctly.

this should not take away from the importance of the abolition of slavery or the fact that this was a heinous act, or the heroism of the people at the time and to this day, to some extent, of the heroes of our time still fighting racial prejudice.
