Traveling internationally with hundreds of pounds of gold wouldn't be that hard for a CIA senior official on "official" business. A diplomatic passport and access to the State Department or War Department's fleet of aircraft would get you pretty far.

You will no longer be scare when either you do not enjoy work enough at the current comfort level, or you have something better to go to. Since the first seems unlikely, explore the second. Start side projects, unrelated hobbies, volunteering - anything that makes you excited for work to end.

If work is just so-so, find something that isn't, inside or outside your daily 9-5.

/hogs reminds me of the earlier (mid Eighties) /nightowl and nightowl group. Davie Curry and others were taking up precious disk space on utilities of dubious necessity. One example was dog, a version of cat that displayed the file to screen using curses to randomly paint the letters in the correct location. Students found them, and began hogging too much cpu cycles using them, so George migrated them to /nightowl, and only members of nightowl group could execute.

Sounds like I met George only a little later - Fall 1980. By then, EE's had two Vaxes to abuse - EE and ED. The ADMs were supplemented with ADDS Regent-20s. Students had strong opinions about which was better. LSi purists looked down on the "Reject-20s".

No, the bottom of the page says they subcontract production. So it's an infomercial for a company that markets sweaters they may or may not design. And they disclose that in the article, if very subtly.

Not at these prices :-) $150 - $200 for a sweater is not cheap. I think of fast fashion in terms of "how many times do I have to wear it to get my money's worth?" If the answer is less than the number of times I'd wear it in a year, it's fast fashion. Of course, if you're a thrift shop shopper, most fashion is fast fashion.

What a thoroughly modern world we live in. My first reaction was to check if this was an April Fool's blog post.

Nice idea, but "small composable programs" includes R scripts? That's great if you're already using R, a bit much to install if you're not.

You could simplify things by cribbing from the Hacker's Diet (https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/) and using an exponentially weighted moving average as your filter. 10% of today's weight + 90% yesterday's EWMA. That's almost a one-liner in awk or perl, or a simple function in bash.

Copilot suggests: awk 'BEGIN{alpha=0.1} NF>=2 { date=$1; w=$2; if (NR==1) ewma=w; else ewma=alpha*w + (1-alpha)*ewma; printf "%s\t%g\t%.6f\n", date, w, ewma }' input.txt

Off the top of my head:

Chair

Standing Desk

Redundant Network Connection / VPN / Better Home Network

Noise cancelling headphones / earbuds

Cheap laser printer

Power protection

Thunderbolt dock.

Enough charger ports so everything can charge at the same time overnight.

UPS if needed. Sized to cover your network gear also, unless you're going to tether to your phone during an outage. Personally, if my neighborhood lost power and I had to work, I'd head to a cowork spot or coffee shop.

Sound deadening if you have roommates, young children, or loud pets. It's not just for telemeetings if you are easily distracted.

PC-related:

Mouse, Keyboard, Dual Monitors.
