how I manage panic attacks and public speaking:
public speaking: i pretend everyone in the audience is just 2 or 3 people, and that they are friends of mine. going into it isnt easy but once I get started that helps quite a bit. I teach a class so there is no avoiding public speaking, but I dont find that its much of a problem despite my dislike for it.

for panic attacks, they are really something separate from the anxiety of speaking to a lot of people. so far the only thing that I have as a weapon is to try and thwart them before they start or ride out the storm by distraction - 2048 helps, it really does! after 4 years of no panic attacks I thought they were conquered, but I did have an episode, so its ongoing but managed I guess.

depression: I was depressed for a long time. I was able to put an end to it by putting dark thoughts out of my mind, concentrating on good things, and not talking myself into thinking how bad things were. I consider it safely conquered. it sounds like a platitude "dont think negative things and you will get better" but its not. at first it is hard but then one day you will wake up and everything has changed.

History: I get panic attacks every (so far) only on even years and so far (only between the months of may-august). i dont know why... I can have close calls outside of those time restraints but the full blown the world is ending panic attacks have only happened during those time frames. I really dont have an ability to stop them once they trigger from happening, they can happen at 4am or 3pm at work. distraction and not thinking about them seems to help the most.

depression: I was depressed from 1998 to 2012. from 2010-2012 it was managed, but now I'm like a different person. I have never taken any medication for anything above.
Thanks for this. I tried using Tesseract over the weekend to extract text from a game screenshot and had no luck. The documentation for Tesseract is rather opaque; maybe I'll have better luck with Ocropus.
Doesn't Google depend on them now, due to Gradle being a part of the official Android toolchain? Seems like they should be interested in doing this.
If an extension needs network effects to be useful, you have to market it. As this seems like an experiment, I doubt it will hit critical mass.
Oh, thanks for the heads up!

I'm using HTTPS Everywhere too I just didn't even think it could be remotely responsible for the effect, so I didn't list in on my post.
You can get a marriage visa. Actual citizenship is much more involved, and even for people meeting the difficult criteria I haven't heard of the process succeeding without help from people of influence. One of the criteria is working for a single Thai company continuously for several years, and won't be an option for remote workers. Remote workers can't even get a business visa, and end up in a legal gray area.
In retrospect the second comparison is more like >>>>>>!!!!!!!

Founder conflicts are death.
There are other ways to have an impact with laws than punish the aggressor. Airplanes aren't safe because the pilot or mechanic gets punished when something happens, it's because (very simplified) the airlines and manufacturers do.
Disclosure: I'm working on a video delivery network company called Dendrio (www.dendr.io).

You're pretty spot on about AWS. Storage is super cheap, but data transfer can be really expensive. Also, depending on your users' habits, you'll likely want a CDN to serve your files, especially if you want to serve international markets, and I can tell you that most CDNs are very expensive for video hosting. Third party hosting like Youtube and Vimeo have limits for how you can use them which are easy to go over while full-service video hosting/analytics/monetization like Brightcove and Ooyala will cost you a house.

Shameless self-promotion: you should check us out at dendr.io. We're working on a peer to peer CDN that runs on top of your existing hosting provider (whether you do it yourself, or a CDN) to decrease your costs and give you other benefits. Feel free to email me at "albert@" our domain.
This sounds interesting. I just composed 3 based on the Fountain template and mailed them off (snailmail, since I don't still have access to any university help systems). Wonder what I'll get back?
I can't do that, but this is not purely of historical interest anyway... the techniques are fairly current, given particularly that designing an LZ-based compressor with this property seems like it would be difficult or impossible.
Probably not. I mean, @pmarca can tweet-storm 24/7 and also manage to operate as a head of a major VC firm and nobody questions this.
That is property, the image was not disseminated to you or anyone else by looking at the film. It was developed into a negative and digitized in order to disseminate copies.

You really are apparently neither a lawyer nor a photographer and should consult an experienced one if you are pursing either as a hobby or profession.

Copyright can certainly be abandoned. It does not always require an overt statement. See for example National Comics Pub. v. Fawcett Pub., 191 F.2d 594, 598 [0]

[edit] I was going to discuss abandonware of game content and its use in new works but that is a much longer discussion. You can follow up if you are interested.

I think he means the Bell Labs people were wrong, i.e Robert Morris did not enjoy math, for him it was about the programming. He later mentions that it was tough keeping in touch with the people at bell labs after ignoring their advice about math.

I THINK. You're right, it's a bit unclear.
> The idea that one should ask questions about one's own life (e.g. your "What seems like work...?") and act on the answers was completely alien to me in those days, and I doubt I could have absorbed any wisdom in this department.

That resonates deeply with me. Until my early 20s, I was terrible at absorbing any form of wisdom from anyone. I just went ahead forward into whatever interested me, with no regard for what anyone would have to say about it. I was fortunate enough to be born with a brain that worked fairly well and allowed me to get away with this behavior for the longest time.

It is for this reason that I consider my time in grad school as mostly a failure - I joined at 19 as a PhD student and left 2 years later with a Master's degree, leaving the PhD for startups, and in those 2 years I didn't achieve anything that I'd consider interesting work (completely by my own fault). Even worse, my immaturity resulted in me making very little of the absolutely brilliant advisor I had (the perfect combo: a researcher whose early work pioneered a new field and gave him enormous peer recognition, but who was still early enough in his career that he had plenty of time to devote to his students), who had high hopes for me that ended up completely unfulfilled.

It was only after a few years of working in the real world with some very smart (and some very dumb) people, getting yelled at, seeing friends get fired (I never got fired myself although I came close a few times), and a few other similar experiences that I realized that indeed my life would be much improved if I stopped and recognized that some people do have words of wisdom that hold value for me. Psychedelics and traveling the world+meeting people who had it way worse than me yet achieved way more with what they had also contributed significantly to my maturing - the rewards of it being that I now am starting to enjoy an amount of success, clarity, and reward in my work that would have been unconceivable 6 years ago (although it still feels like most of the road is ahead, as it should).

For those reasons, it feels like advice such as the one given by PG is lost: the people who need it most won't really get the importance of what he means, and the people who will get it can do so because they've already internalized it.

All that being said, I look forward to 5 years from now, when I will say things about my mid-20s similar to what I just said about my early 20s :)
Yeah... No! I don't have an axe to grind here but indeed there are more than one way to compare a product.

Air debit is only one dimension. You can pick arbitrary dimensions to compare products depending on which one you want to (if you would) show preference to.

Did they check also the noise level? The dimensions? How long you can run the thing before changing the filters? Do they have some form of regulator or are they always on? Do they fall apart when you bump on them?

It's like comparing processors by their clock speed. Which one 'is outperformed' by the other?
How much power do you think governments have over central banks? Bitcoin is definancializing money, so those levers lose efficacy with Bitcoin's adoption.
I figured that was why they changed the design?
> Communication with your team is more important than writing check-in rules to prevent bad things from happening.

There's some subtlety here. This is sort of a security vs safety issue.

Some people are just reckless, and that's a human problem that is best dealt with through a stern talking to (or, ultimately, termination) rather than technical measures. You'd require an oppressive amount of check-in rules in place to be even remotely effective at stopping this behaviour, and those would just make life miserable for everybody else.

Some people are new to the team and/or just plain inexperienced, and it takes time for them to absorb all the standard practices so they can innocently cause trouble. Even veterans will make mistakes. Low friction guard rails can help keep those people from getting into too much trouble without being too onerous.
I don't have an issue with people using discord. The issue I see comes with claiming to be working towards a "internet owned by everyone", and then promoting a centralized chat service.
> The JVM offers real threads, and JS not.

How does this make a difference to the Clojure interface to threads?

After all, if you're running your JVM on hardware that doesn't support parallelism, you're not getting parallelism anyway.

> JS has a single type for representing numbers.

The comment you're replying to already covered that:

> For example, the reason Scala.js can provide exact semantics for numerics while maintaining high performance is precisely because it knows what exactly types things are, and can use that information to optimize the generated JS in a semantics-preserving way

> Clojure occasionally offers cross-platform abstractions (e.g. core.async) but it's not its main philosophy.

I can understand providing different libraries for different platforms, but language semantics should remain (as much as is possible), e.g. numerics.
Thanks for posting this. I've actually seen it many years ago but never tried it. I'm not blind but I'm actually interesting in making UIs for blind people and the CLI seems to look perfect for this. Can you confirm that?

BTW, do you know if TUI programs (using curses/ncurses or related) are usable for blind users?
Perfect analogy. From 1998-2006 it was easier to get pirated music than pay for it. Once the music industry realized that the days of people paying $20 per CD that they may only listen to a few times were over, the streamers took over and now 90+% of music is listened to with permission of the centralized gate keepers.

Regulators and other parties will catch up eventually. When there is a 500% tax on homes/cars you purchase with BTC the whole "decentralization/permissionless" idea will fade away.
I’m well aware of the phrase but have never seen it initialized before.
There is odrive that converts most cloud storage to placeholder model.
Last I checked, MTurk still accepted only US credit cards. This puts a dent in the potential size of the ecosystem.

If the purpose is dirt-cheap labor, they should open up the door to markets where $cents matter.
Poor conditions and substandard medical care are also on the inmates’ list of demands.

Somehow I doubt that..
Stack exchange recently got a huge cash investment and now they have to justify getting all the money with a growing user base. However most new stack exchange sites that I've looked at are pretty dead and empty, so to me it looks like they are cannibalizing Stack Overflow to try to seed Stack Exchange sites with content so they can show positive numbers to their investors.
It's the only Yahoo service I've used in years, and I use it every day. <sigh>
I'd like an English to English add on so I can get dictionary definitions of words using the 'pause' feature. This would also make visiting URLs in print extremely easy!
To be fair, I've been beta testing the device and it is very bad ass. It works extremely well, is very comfortable, and offers a lot more than any competitors at a much better price.

EDIT: I should also mention that I own the sleeptracker watch and it doesn't even come close to what the wakemate offers.
Google Translate is not word-to-word though.
Thats what I was aiming at: you can't get people to exercise, we have tried telling it to them in five hundred different ways, a million different slogans and insane amount of dollars have been wasted.

Where would we have been if that amount of money had instead been used for "exercise in a pill" research? Would we have it? Unlikely. Would we be able to get some of the benefits? Absolutely.
Can we clarify: is it just the Uber Pop service (normal people's cars, irregular costs) which is suspended, not the standard Uber taxi service (licensed booked hire by authorized driver) ?

Does Uber operate in Spain using it's other services?
We have no code to show yet because the main focus of our product is on the hardware. It only makes sense to make code public as soon as people can play with the hardware.

I am sorry, now I know I posted too early.
I've never had an arch update brick my system. It's really pretty hard to brick a 'nix.

When I ran arch (and I ran it for quite a while) I had the occasional breakage, but I don't recall ever having a break that I needed to boot into a live environment to fix, let alone require a re-install.

Granted, it might be quicker to re-install if you haven't fermented in linux-land for long enough to know how to figure out what's borked and what you need to do to fix it, particularly if you would need to boot a live usb or something, but I'm struggling to think of things that would actually brick a linux system these days that aren't either hardware failures, some really crazy filesystem corruption, literally rm -rf / for way too long, or being installed on a machine with no alt-boot method.

On the bright side, reinstalling isn't too bad unless you don't use separate partitions.

All that said, there is a pretty hefty active maintenance cost to running Arch. At least they're explicit about it.
The random number every time you reload the page for "194 Users Signed Up Today" makes me think all the rest of the given numbers are also fake.
I'd be totally on board with a flat connection fee per month plus by-the-megabyte metering. I've advocated for it many times before.

But in lieu of that, charging a 600 MB a month user one fee, and a 1.4 TB a month user a higher fee seems entirely legitimate to me.
Speaking for myself, I've never seen a campus with all of: A full grocery store. Elementary, middle, or high schools (with associated sports facilities). Jails. Courthouses. Hospitals (not basic medical services, fully featured hospitals with Ambulance support). Police forces (not half a dozen campus cops, or loaned police officers)... and so forth.

And remember, we're discussing building cities like campuses - there is no "just off campus" space available for competition.

We're discussing campuses the size of Manhattan Island, without most of the roads (which will hugely impact the ability to deliver goods and take away waste; just see how New York is taken over by these two activities at night). Also, without suburbs, so the housing (and all of the support necessary for that population) needs to be that much more dense (and affordable).
In general, slowing frequency is an indicator of a heavily loaded grid. I don't have an appreciation how much the frequency can practically be off the nominal 50 Hz (in Europe) before it indicates grid failure.
> RVO are guaranteed as of C++17 and mentioned in your cppreference link.

Yes, but other instances of copy-elision are still at the discretion of the compiler, right?
Thomas Jefferson said it best:

"The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water… (But) between society and society, or generation and generation there is no municipal obligation, no umpire but the law of nature. We seem not to have perceived that, by the law of nature, one generation is to another as one independant nation to another… On similar ground it may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation… Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19. years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right."
The thing is $850m isn't actually that much money. The big exchanges made on the order of several billion dollars profit during the last bubble; presumably they are also making that much in this one.
Hmm... Slightly confusing name, I initially thought of privacy during Corona "lockdowns".

How is this tracking protection more trustworthy than that of Firefox Focus? However, their "VPN with Proof of Privacy" seems interesting: https://openlyoperated.org/report/confirmedvpn
AFAIK the issue is that the service is pulling in PI of other people without their consent.

You can not store my name/phone number etc without my consent - even if you got that data from one of your user's contact list.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. IANAL.
>It makes me reflect on my own media consumption. What messages am I receiving? How are processing those messages affecting my view of the world?

One day about 5 years ago, I swore in disgust that I would henceforth watch or listen to no more news media. Up to that point, I was a regular listener to NPR and also watched various news shows.

Other than occasional (and usually tech related) news articles on HN, I've kept my promise. And I've been stunned at how my politics and perceptions of the world have changed in just 5 years.
There is exactly zero reason for bringing up gender in this thread, unless you're the kind of person who wants to turn every discussion into a gender problem.

If my service targets general population and I'm using only men in UX testing, I'm not being sexist - I'm just being an idiot, missing out on feedback that could be relevant to 50% of my audience.
If the underlying interface (JavaScript or POSIX as the case may be) is using NULL's up the wazoo, then you need a way to represent that. You can try to represent it as optionals, but that creates impedance, which ultimately may cost you more complexity (and performance).
Sun Tzu talked about this 2500 years ago in the Art of War:

""" What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.

Hence his victories bring him neither reputation for wisdom nor credit for courage. """
If you need evidence of Apple's ability to acquire and senselessly destroy viable products, look no further than Shake.

If you need evidence of Apple's ability to acquire companies while keeping product lines independent, look no further than Beats.

If you need evidence of Apple's ability to acquire industry leading technology to ensure exclusive advantage, look no further than AuthenTec (Touch ID).

If you need evidence of Apple's ability to sincerely invest in open source for the benefit of all, look no further than CUPS. Or LLVM. Or WebKit.

Apple has no pattern.
This is what Red is aiming to be... a full stack programming language - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_%28programming_language%29
"Limerence" specifically refers to infatuation with a person. "Cathexis" is a broader term which also applies to objects or ideas.

Emacs is not very popular and is losing popularity as the years pass on: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=emacs%2C%20vim%2C%20s...

I also believe there's a correlation between beard length and emacs usage.
Failed stealth fighter programs are quite useless.

You actually make a great point, even if the money has to go to defense and not other purposes, it should still be useful for the purpose of defense.
I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

First when you take our extremely complicated political situation and shove it into a 1d box it comes off as both condescending and paternalistic. The situation is complicated and difficult, I am not denying there is a problem.

Second - I am volunteering in organizations like GSG, I am not for the west bank settlements and I vote left. That’s mostly irrelevant though - since I am not “Israel”, like the OP I am just one human living my life out trying to be better.

Third - the “complicated politics” in this case does not refer to West Bank settlements. It refers to my inability to hire, mentor, collaborate and befriend Gaza engineers easily.

I am a hacker, I am not trying to solve “peace in the Middle East” and I think I am entitled to feel frustrated by this :)
GTA virtual world does not contain GTA and yet carjackings keep happening.
Wait is Emacs lying about its age again?
I never made the argument that crypto was good. About the global internet coverage, I think Starlink will mostly solve that.
Yes and then ban people when they move on to robbing.
> The fact that this legislator seriously proposed this, much less entertained the idea, proves we've got some seriously incompetent people running the government.

Hillary Clinton also tried to make GTA illegal, which is a large part of why Trump became president.
They have problems with all sorts of violence and theft, so your solution is to ban the most notable item targeted for theft? I hope you're joking, because this proposal is just as bad as the one in the article.
Duping someone young and impressionable to think he's getting something out of a deal is not the same as actually offering something.

Especially if you drop them like dead-weight when they grow a little, and want to have a family et al and 80 hour per week doesn't seem that enticing anymore, and working on a game is not "the be all end all" a 15-year old thinks but just work.
This doesn't solve any trust problems, there is still no guarantee that the ratings can't be covertly skewed. I don't need even more things messing with my text app and don't want anyone parsing my texts looking for restaurant names. My friends opinions of restaurants are not generally useful. I can't see if they have happy hour, wifi, or take credit cards with just 5 stars. Many restaurants have the same name. Restaurants are location dependent.

Ironically this would be most useful if it clicking on the rating took you to the yelp page so you could see the details, photos, menu, read reviews, and confirm that it is the actual restaurant you're talking about.
DRM is inherently bad, because there is no such thing as perfect DRM and whenever you construct an argument for DRM you have to add the sort of "it's just that"s you've just written.

If you are given content to play, you should be given it in a 'perfect' format. Anything else is idiocy, because at some point it'll be played in that format anyway.
