You asked what I was wondering except I was thinking of the [Multi-Account Containers](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...)

I think Cookie Protection does solve the problem that I used the containers for. I wasn't really using it to keep accounts separate, per se, but more to keep companies like Google from snooping and sneaking peeks at my other cookies.

The cynic in me is thinking they just didn't pay this man enough to be able to retire.

I'm right there with you. It feels much better to me to be able to have the mouse more in-front of me than off to the side, especially when gaming.

I tried to go 60%(?) with a Pok3r but I like having the arrow keys available without having to use a modifier key.

Honestly, I love articles like these. I feel like so much of the time we think in terms of frameworks as opposed to the problems they're there to solve.

I've been in situations where, for reasons I won't get into, I wasn't able to use large tool chains or have tons of dependencies. I had to distill things to the basic problem(s) that I needed to solve and come up with maintainable ways to solve them.

Being depressed and depression aren't the same thing though.

I feel like OP just used described how he fixed a problem that had him down.

Depression can occur without any real problems or issues. It's not something you can "just fix" by paying your bills.

I've used https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv#.Vi6Bz2SrReU in the past for my wife. I haven't really looked at any other apps but I like how I can just export PDF directly and not having to deal with exporting/creating the PDF on my own.

I'd like to learn LaTeX at some point but at this point, CVs are the only thing I use it for...

I use one of these for work and always wondered how it'd fair with Linux. Do you use a docking station with it?

I've been running an (ancient) T420S with Manjaro for quite a while. Never had an issue.

I thought it was just me...

A lot of great points. I've worked with a lot of people that know one language well but are almost willfully ignorant to others... even when the skills are needed on the current projects. I've gotten to where when I interview applicants I worry less if they know the answer to esoteric questions about rarely used features of certain languages and spend more time on architecture, testing/debugging and deployments. It's amazing how many people interview with 15 years of Java but no experience with Continuous Integration and testing techniques beyond JUnit.

Maybe a vacation or sabbatical?

Or if you have spare time and some other type of work piques your interest work some on a different project. I've worked in groups where when it's a down cycle, it's really really down... like boring me to tears down. So I started trying to learn stuff that I never deal with at work, even when it is busy. When I would go back to the regular gig it was nice to look at the same code with a "new set of glasses".

I think that as I become more familiar with a language I get used to 'thinking' in the language I'm currently using. Up until a few years ago I was only really comfortable with Java and always tended to think back to how I would do it in Java and try to translate it. But as I get more comfortable with other languages it's gotten a lot easier. Especially with languages like Javascript and Python. I always laugh a little bit though when I go back to Java and wonder why a line with a String threw an error only to realize I'm using single ticks instead of double quotes.
