Ask HN: Admitting this is beyond what I can understand in this lifetime

Hi,

I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of new things I need to learn. Today it happened again when I tried to understand what happens here (https://github.com/levskaya/jslinux-deobfuscated/blob/master/cpux86-ta.js): http://bellard.org/jslinux/.

I sometimes feel that so much knowledge is something that I will never be able to grasp no matter how much I study. I think I'm a good developer... but this is certainly not something I can do and it makes me feel minuscule.

How do I stay on track ?
