> Reading biographies of great people, seeing what people are actually doing and building makes me feel miserable, incompetent and good at nothing.
Wow, that's something I totally have as well. At the same time, I want to be (and am, many times) inspired by other people who are already more successful than me. After all, they did struggle, maybe with other things, but their success proves that it is possible to reach it / to achieve something awesome.
The struggle with a feeling of worthlessness is such a mystery. Why do I have it? Why so many people in general? What is the cause, what can be done? I try many things, fall flat on my nose, and then try to get up again. Sometimes, it's a hellish nightmare.
Hello Mohamed. I'd be very interested to hear about your journey starting today, whatever you end up doing, whether you persevere (what I hope) or not, no matter.
Would you start a blog someplace and post a link here so we can be part of your adventure?
It could, but there are many existing technologies (apps, libraries, languages) that are easier (and more consistently) turned into a container than into a static binary.
It kinda bugs me when time-sensitive articles (like those about software) are published without a date on them. The article does not mention a date when it was written, I assume it was recently. It mentions "2014-09-09 FreeBSD advisory", and the date today is 2014-09-28, so September 2014 is a good bet.
My 2 cents Jonathan - I've done this, and it might help, but I don't know you (yet) so maybe not:
There's people who make you feel better, and others who make you feel worse. Spend more time with the former, and less time with the latter. One by one, more people like Michael will help you realize you that you belong.
Yes for screaming! There was a super-dark time in my life where I literally did not know where to go. I was in my car, on some off road, being totally crazy and screaming and crying out loud. Did I have a choice? Actually no, it was unbearable. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't have a safe place to go wild in this way. After this, I was glad to know someone to call then.
Re SW 2 and 4: You might want to base this on http://named-data.net/ that builds an information-based alternative to the host-based IP protocol. AFAIK this work was started by Van Jacobson at PARC who is a central figure in the TCP/IP stack.
I actually hope OP will change the service by preventing abuse to prevent *.ngrok.org getting blacklisted. I can see some legitimate use cases for hacking my own cheap cloud service running on my Raspberry Pi at home.
