The idea that there is one "mainstream psychiatry" is somewhat naive. It varies quite a bit from country to country, and the US does it somewhat horribly.

Don't take my word for it, the man who chaired the committee for the DSM-V thinks so (nd he wrote a book about it called "Saving Normal". Regardless of what you think about psychiatry from a theoretical perspective (e.g. what studies show), there is a MASSIVE gap between what practicing psychiatrists do and what happens in studies. As a country we are over-diagnosed (the DSM says x% of the population will have a given condition based on clinical research, yet somehow a massively larger # of people will be prescribed pills for it due to incompetent doctors and drug company advertising..

On top of that we have almost no idea what the mechanism of action is for any of these drugs. We take people, let's look at veterans for example, who have gone through traumatic events and say: "I guess going through that war there messed up some chemicals, take these!". It turns out there is a lot more in the way of treatment than just pills. At the same time these people are living in the streets and have no connection to community or family. There are more dimensions to mental illness than just chemicals in the brain. Here's an interesting non-pill related approach that's apparently helped some vets who were beyond treatment from pills ( http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/magazine/what-does-a-parro... ).

Here's another example, in convenient peer-review form "The findings, from by far the most rigorous trial to date conducted in the United States, concluded that schizophrenia patients who received a program intended to keep dosages of antipsychotic medication as low as possible and emphasize one-on-one talk therapy and family support made greater strides in recovery over the first two years of treatment than patients who got the usual drug-focused care." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/20/health/talk-therapy-found-...

Unfortunately I can only open the door here, the material is complex and voluminous. I do encourage you to research and read on your own. The foundations of mainstream psych in American are shaky, and drug companies truly have an undue amount of influence in shaping research and policy.

In my experience (7 years of NSW State Emergency Service)

(a) People are very often on the trail. An initial report of "lost" typically means "didn't report in on time". Many times that means that they're just slow, or injured, or walking in the wrong direction on a poorly marked trail.

They get found, no one makes a big deal of it, it never gets on the news, so it doesn't register in our consciousnesses, but it's fairly frequent.

(b) The first step in a co-ordinated search effort is to search the paths. If the search area is large (e.g. we know where they parked their car, but not which path they took) then you can need to arrange a fair number of searchers to cover all the paths. That's slow. Not just to do the searching, but also to get a team mobilised and coordinated. If drones can do that job (even just a first pass) it saves a lot of time and frees up a lot of searchers.

(c) There's "trails" and then there's trails. In Australian bush, a "trail" might not actually be created by humans. It could easily be a kangaroo path, and walkers sometimes stumble on to them and end up in places the searchers didn't expect. The drones might be better at searching those paths.

(d) It's not uncommon for someone who gets lost to eventually stumble upon a trail and not know where it is, where it leads, or which way to go. Just because they're on a trail now, doesn't mean it's the one they started on.

(e) For people who want to be found, there's likely to be a fairly high success rate in drones that move along all discoverable trails, emitting out emergency messages and listening for responses. Most human search teams aren't doing much more than that.

I don't understand many of the leaps you make in your argument. From what I can see, you're defending that Redlock is "good enough" in cases where you don't care about your computers hating you. This is not a good environment for distributed systems when you need strong correctness properties.

Reading through the original description of Redlock[1] and your "rebuttal" is interesting. The algorithm described in the spec isn't safe if a GC pause or process pause happens between <checking how long it took to acquire a majority> and <doing work and releasing the lock>. You don't even touch this argument (pretending to not understand which step is the problem and defending that everything before the gap I just described is safe).

You claim that fenced tokens require linearizablity. I don't know if this is true, but even if it is all you've proven is that the solution offered isn't good enough. The fact that something that tries to fix your system doesn't fix it properly doesn't mean that your system isn't broken.
I don't suppose this finally allows sorting in tree view, does it? That's been a feature I've been wanting forever.
That's true, in practical uses a sufficiently high res raster is indistinguishable from a vector image. Still, it would be nice to have that option.

How do you know they have traction if they won't share numbers.

It is fine to not share everything. Numbers are scary and can be used out of context to make people very fearful. A 10% drop in revenue from month to month could look really scary but actually just be natural business variation. I would say you should trust the team, and that trust should lead to their sharing their vision and numbers to support that vision, but you should not have to have constant access to company financials necessarily.
Also usually costs several orders of magnitude more than the data.

The last bit is funny since it's basically the same thing for people with impostor syndrome (which seems pretty common in the industry) but those people may or may not subjectively feel like they're trying their best regardless. A trick I think helps in either case is to compare with others -- are you obviously at the bottom of the pack by your own standards (which are probably too high)? If no, stop stressing. (For some reason this doesn't develop into an ego thing for me, or a devaluation of other coworkers whose work I think is less stellar than my own even though I'm not putting in 100%... But if that happened that would be a whole new problem.) At one job seeing a 95th percentile commit count per month that was less than 12 (with an average of about 4-5) made me worry a lot less about not committing anything for over a week. The job before that I was used to committing something every day or sometimes every other day.
Ask HN: In Bay Area, starving, homeless and in search of work
Hello, I have been having very bad luck in the past few months. I am in the Bay Area looking for work as a front-end engineer and I haven't had a lot of luck. I have been very nervous in interviews, told my experience wasn't enough despite working on large projects for name brand companies. I am on the edge of life, I am even struggling to find a low wage job to support myself. I have no money at all, just a monthly pass for Muni (thankfully), a membership to a local gym where I can shower and groom everyday, and one more month of cell phone service (Google voice number just in case it goes out). I am homeless and hungry, looking for some help in my job search, either rehearsing interviewing, coding interview practice, reviewing my resume or even just tell me if I should completely give up (and find something else) because I am no good at what I do. My portfolio is lacking because the work I did at my previous company was short term websites. I have a hard time moving foward with any personal projects that might help me get a position, I struggle daily to eat, get enough sleep and stay sane as it is.

Regarding my situation, staying with family is not an option, they do not care, are in multiple other states, and are tapped for cash, and I've already asked for a lot from friends. I really need help getting on my feet and I hope the community here can point me in the right direction. Any tips, jobs you know of or resources, free meetups, etc., will really help and I appreciate it.

Edit:
Regarding skills: Experienced with universal JavaScript (client & NodeJS), built great websites with React and Redux, worked with ES2015, ES2016 and Stage 1-4 proposed features. Built SPA apps with AJAX. Wrote automated tests using Jest, Mocha and Chai. Built responsive websites, animated with JS and CSS key frame animations. Well versed in HTML and CSS (I think this one is a given being a front end and all).
Tree view is sorted by pid only, sorry. I'm afraid moving entire subtrees based on other criteria (such as CPU%) would make the screen unbearably jumpy.
> everyone is VERY happy with my work output and I'm considered an A player, but if you watched me on an hour by hour basis you'd have a much different opinion of me

Same here, actually.

I've had days where I knocked out "estimated 4 hour" tickets in 20 minutes. I also have days where I can't focus for the first and last 4 hours worth a damn.
I still don't know how to use Facebook... Neither Snapchat or whatever social thing. I only need a text messaging app, which today is WhatsApp, and i'm fine.
My understanding is that the system literally works by buying out your own ads, as if you were an advertiser targeting specifically yourself with ads that have no content. The effect is thus that you pay what advertisers would otherwise have paid. But if some advertiser bids $100 for one ad (this actually happens!), then Google is going to show that ad.

As such, the pricing structure, while maybe overcomplicated, is perfectly fair. Theoretically, in an ad-free world, this is the price you would need to pay to consume the same content. If you feel it is too high, then what you're saying is that, for you, ads are worth the annoyance. (Or, alternately, you're saying that you'd rather pay less and get lower-quality content.)

Personally, I think $10/month is an extremely reasonable price to pay for the web content I consume, and I'd certainly rather pay it than see the ads.

EDIT: That said, as a matter of product design, I think this pricing structure sucks. They really ought to offer a flat price that removes all ads. However, I suspect that would require strong-arming all AdSense sites to agree to new terms (since it would affect how much those sites are getting paid), and as we've seen when YouTube did this in order to create YouTube Red, it tends to create a huge PR backlash.
I think Firefox's top-of-page notification is just for Flash content that is not large enough for the inline "click to play" UI. It's pretty annoying, though, because it causes the whole page to shift down. Chrome's address bar icon sounds like a good alternative.

> increasing the interest rate tends to decrease the inflation rate.

But the problem is exactly that this correlation doesn't seem to apply in the opposite direction today: decreasing interest rates are not generating inflation across the board, quite the opposite. You can debate why that is the case, but that's what we see: central banks keep cutting rates expecting economic activity to get hot and generate inflation, but this is not happening. The Japanese experience would seem to indicate this is "the new normal", where monetary policy is simply a brake and not an engine; which means we have to find alternative engines.

At my previous job at a startup on a team of 3 developers, I accounted for 75% of the commits over a 6 month period. Many of these were big multi-week projects (one- and two-way integration with EMRs, or scraping the ones that didn't have an API).

I was the first one they "indefinitely furloughed" when their investor tightened the belt.
The stance of monetary policy can't be assessed by looking at the level of interest rate (or the amount QE) -- otherwise you'd conclude that inflationary basket case Argentina has much tighter monetary policy than deflationary basket case Eurozone.

I'm not inventing this, this is from Milton Friedman.

You judge monetary policy by its result: where are the variables you are targeting vs your targets?

The Fed's target is "low inflation and full employment". Since over the past decade we've had very little inflation and high unemployment, we can conclude that Fed monetary policy was tight.

You might blame the less-than-specific target that the policy makers have chosen for this and you'd be right, it's way too vague and not that useful.

A much better target would be the level of average nominal wage per capita, or highly related but simpler: level of nominal GDP.

Based on these targets, monetary policy has been very tight over the past few years, particularly in the Eurozone.

Monetary policy is neutral if nominal GDP remains on a 5%/year growth path. Big drops in NGDP is basically equivalent to the central bank punching the economy in the stomach.
That is a completely different argument to the one you made originally - "some parts of the internet weren't sexist" vs "people weren't sexist because they couldn't figure out your gender" (which is the one I disagreed with")
I myself now know that I self selected for software development _because_ of my anxiety, and I think anxious people might be over-represented in the profession.

As we all know programming is complicated, and even the simplest algorithm can produce wildly unexpected results. Anxiety makes you better at detecting danger, and in the realm of software the danger is bugs and bad interactions and so on.

We all approach programming differently, there are some deliberative types, some who wing it etc, but I expect that anxious people may be a big sub-population.

(Also if someone is anxious, it doesn't necessarily mean they are socially anxious or shy. I myself seem 'normal' and can be gregarious and give talks, but I do have trait anxiety.)

To clarify, Futures is required for bokeh server as an extra dependency on Python 2.7 since it's not a battery included like for Python > 3.2.. if you conda install Bokeh it should be installed already for you. You can find more info about the bokeh server features here: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/server.htm... and here: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/cli.html#m...

Flexx, on other hand, is not required by bokeh server itself but instead to define python functions to handle interactivity that runs on the browser (no need of bokeh server). Flexx is used to convert python to JS. You can find more info here: http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/interactio...

Suppose your claim is true. Suppose in other words that it would be impossible to sell all the FB shares at the current closing price. How would that be an argument against the usefulness of comparing Twitter's market cap to FB's?

No one has ever bought a company whose market cap is as big as FB's currently is -- let alone bought one for cash. But publicly-traded companies with caps in the billions have been bought in all-cash transactions, and the experience there is that the buyer usually ends up paying more than the market cap right before the investing public starts to become aware of the attempt to buy the company. But even if that were not true, what relevance would it have for whether or not it is a good idea to use market-cap data to compare publicly-traded companies and their products and strategies?

Does market cap not remain a good estimate of the future expected earnings of the company?
Yes, they really are.

Rather the opposite. If the keep her Yahoo will be dead. While existing problems were legion when she arrived, she hasn't made much progress.

Sure, this will never be a 100% alternative to electron. People who derive pleasure from writing HTML, Javascript, and CSS whenever possible will never stray from that kind of framework. As you say, some also choose these frameworks because of the extensive browser API features. However, some people who don't particularly appreciate these languages and API still use electron because it allows them to target browser and native with a single code base. This is where things might change.

The sad fact is that most electron applications only use a small fraction of the massive featureset provided by a full browser, and whenever a tiny GUI application gets forcibly bundled with 70+MB of browser runtime, a cute fluffy animal dies. I think this new kind of framework has the potential to save some cute fluffy animals in the long term, though certainly not all of them.

I'm not very up on CNN/RNN models yet, beyond the basics, but I do a fair amount of signals analysis. Is your truth data in git? I'd love to work with it.

I'd like to use LogDNA, but we'd require syslog support, I think. We use Rsyslog to spool logs off to a central server, and we're not about to trust a third-party vendor to keep our data (ie., we want our own copy). Rsyslog can forward to any other syslog server and supports TLS.

Edit: Rsyslog can pipe data to a command-line program via the "omprog" plugin, which might be an easier option for you.
