also, in rent controlled apartments leased in earlier decades.

there are plenty of people paying <$1k to rent 2 bedroom apartments in SF. that's why there's such an imbalance on the units that do come up for rent.

Me neither, and not for lack of trying either. I've posted thousands of tweets. It was most interesting during breaking news events. But it never seemed useful enough to justify my time expenditure in it, so I gave up.
Nonexistence doesn't end suffering. You need to live in the moment. Your life is precious. I hope you feel better
Last week, I saw a great post on Hacker News showing off a simple plain text twitter clone. The idea was that you pointed your client at plain text files hosted by your friends. To write a new post, you append a new line to the file on your webserver. To read your friends' posts, you get all their URLs and look for new lines. While it was simple and easy to implement for people hosting their own servers,
it would be a hassle for many people, myself included, to set up.
Forest trails are just a distraction from the real story here:

> When tested on a new, previously unseen trail, the deep neural network was able to find the correct direction in 85% of cases; in comparison, humans faced with the same task guessed correctly 82% of the time.

They made a computer better at identifying trails than a human. That they can manage that and quickly enough to feed a flight control loop with directions is mighty impressive.

I don't know how it is in the Valley, but if someone told me "I'm suffering from extreme anxiety and if I try to force through it I'm worried the quality of my work would suffer, can I take today off?" I doubt I would say no.

Depression sucks, anxiety sucks, having both can be personally and professionally catastrophic.

For programming, words-per-minute typing speed isn't so important. Just typing characters is a small fraction of your input. You're doing all sorts of other operations - moving and pasting expressions and lines, adjusting indentation, switching to another window with documentation. These operations go all over the function keys, navigation keys (home, page down, etc), arrow keys, modified by all sorts of chords (ctrl, alt, apple, etc). None of that is captured by the traditional words-per-minute typing metric.

For programming, a better characterization is actions-per-minute, like in Starcraft. I can navigate my IDE and OS noticeably faster than most other developers I've met. Especially non-technical folks are amazed by the speed that I can compile and tab over to the explorer window to copy the output to a staging server, faster than they even register what they're watching. Actions-per-minute and the accuracy of them does matter for the speed and productivity of a given programmer.
I may get down voted for this but I wonder if this is partly due to the false hype that is associated with being a software developer in Silicon Valley. Young kids with stars in their eyes go out there thinking they are going to hit it big with their startup or working for a hot startup only to discover it is not so easy.

It would be interesting to see stats of suicides or attempted suicides for tech workers in Silicon Valley vs other areas. If much higher in SF to the ratio of workers then that should be something to look at.

A mental illness that is actually dealt with perfectly with the line of medications on the shelves is ADHD, in which you get symptomatic remission as long as it's in your bloodstream.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3568402/

It's not only severe, but will pretty much screw you up(not being able to perceive time and act on time across long distances and all), but hey it works!

Nothing else works as well as what's available for ADHD for other mental disorders.

A distraction where continued use is necessary for your friendships to remain in place. That mediates social status among young people. While they learn how to interact with other people in social situations.

Most of the time its not extreme enough to take a full day off. It just means you run at 50%, or 30% capacity. But you can't really speak up about not having that capacity, and if you take the day off it comes out of your vacation. At the end of the week though, the work is done because you buckle down.

This is why open offices and daily standups and constant micromanagement are terrifying to me - 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.

This is mostly true, but I don't think the evidence is there for videogames. What you might find evidence for w.r.t videogames is that they'll change your behavioral responses under stress, for example having played many shooter games, and given a real gun, then put in a stressful situation, you're more likely to pull the trigger on another human than otherwise.

For mass shooting, absolutely true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PezlFNTGWv4 (Skip to 1:30 if you want an argument from authority.)

I suspect it's true for suicides as well. People underestimate copycat / monkey-see-monkey-do influences.
To avoid confusion read my answer on cognitive science stack exchange. While it is just an opinion, it is quite an informed one. I participated in the study above. Our final challenge was walking on a ski mountain for 2.5 hours -7 degrees celsius with shorts and shoes. You could bring a hat for style points (I did :) ) but no shirt. Once in a lifetime experience: hugging people in ski-suits who were on vacation while I was dressed like I'd go to a summer pool party.

I agree with you on the idea it's not classical conditioning. The WHM has 3 components: cold exposure, breathing technique and the right mindset (mindset is akin to optimism but it is more stereotypical game-shaman like, e.g. "the cold is your friend."). IMO the breathing technique produces the biggest effect, then cold exposure itself and the mindset acts like an amplification of what you learned. In my subjective experience I'd ratio the effects as 41/39/20 (breathing,exposure,mindset).
I have a daughter who is always trying to compete with her older sister. One time she was chatting online with some creepy dudes in private. She saw her older sister chatting with teen friends and thought it was the same thing. I would try to lay some ground rules and keep at it. Being a dad ain't easy on the nerves with girls. Rules get broken, but just make sure your relationship with her isn't. Daddy time is important at any age.
Actually, we'd LOVE to get a bokeh.rb project going! Most of the power of Bokeh is in the BokehJS runtime, and in our M-VM-V-C architecture for visualization. The Python code is just generating a JSON representation of the plot, but it's relatively straightforward to do that from any language. You can see front-end implementations in other languages:

* R: https://github.com/bokeh/rbokeh
* Scala: https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh-scala
* Julia: https://github.com/bokeh/Bokeh.jl

The Facebook data science folks even implemented a small Bokeh wrapper in Lua, as part of their iTorch package: https://github.com/facebook/iTorch/blob/master/Plot.lua

So, you can see that you can get started with a basic wrapper, and then build up from there. The Lua wrapper is only ~850 lines. If you want to pop over to the mailing list or on our Github, we'd love to help you out.

A lot of that stuff is known to have a discriminatory effect, but kept in place regardless. Also: open-plan offices.

The fact is that you can't get a sense of a creative worker's capability with a two-week audit cycle. You get noise that stresses people out.

Employers know that people have 2-3 good hours per day (that's neurotypical people). The 9-to-5 workday is just to maximize the likelihood of getting that 2-3 hours. If people could work a 3-hour day, the theory is that the ones who aren't on an inside track for advancement would put their good hours into other projects and give the company their crap hours. I don't think that that's fair or accurate, but it is the thinking.

Then there's the general problem of a white-collar world so bereft of vision that, in most organizations, we have to inflict stupid stresses on people then measure them based on their decline curves... when any robust, sane, humane system would get nowhere near the right side of said curve.
> Aldehydes covalently bond and crosslink the proteins and irreversibly kill all of the fixed cells.

That is the textbook answer, however these bonds are only "irreversible" as a matter of biochemistry. You can actually break any chemical bond by increasing the temperature enough. The problem for our purposes is that this means destroying the structure.

> There is zero hope that this provides a solution to cryopreservation except in the slice it up and look at it under the microscope sense.

The trick to reversing the bond without damaging the structure would be in delivering high enough amounts of energy with high enough precision to have only the intended effects. This may or may not be physically possible. However, to rule out the possibility completely, we would need to consider a wide variety of physical interactions that are well outside the range of biology and wet-solvent chemistry, in addition to the full spectra of potential biomimetic and biological approaches.
Please rewrite it. Maybe hide the menu under some icon I don't understand is the menu. Override the scroll so it jars. Probably a good idea to show a blank page, until I click through to allow about 4-5 external scripts before I can see any text, another 2 scripts to show images, and whilst we are at it, make sure I cannot click any links without allowing another script.

At the moment, the site is too easy to navigate, the text too easy to read. Maybe use more images, big images, a 2mb+ background gif would be good. Oh, I forgot external scripts, throw some of those in, my laptop fan isn't whirring so it is underused.

Many things can help you to overcome feelings of depression. It is not an issue impossible to address. However, what certainly contributes to it, is social isolation. Therefore, the rampant individualization of western/urban society badly exacerbates the problem. Nowadays, many people do not even have something like a wife or a husband. Gone are the days when people would share their lives with someone special to them. They are too immersed in hardcore individualism for that. Another issue contributing to the problem is the lack of spirituality. People often underestimate the therapeutic value of things like religion. Growing levels of atheism and skepticism concerning the meaning of life take away this resource and in that way prematurely terminate lives otherwise worthwhile to live. Medication can obviously do its part to assist with depression, but not on top of the ruins created by hardcore individualization and totalitarian de-spiritualization.

I had heart palps and ear ringing for years - both of which were related to my high blood pressure. The two things I removed from my diet which eliminated the palps and ringing were gluten and stress. I still drink lots of caffeine and take pills for the blood pressure.

Clock skew is a bad enough thing that it's accepted wisdom to not run timing-sensitive authentication authorities (read: Kerberos, mostly) in a hypervisor or VM container.
At the very least, it doesn't help. I currently work remote, and I've definitely had more depressive thoughts being alone so damned much. I've also had plenty of thoughts when working in an office with lots of great people.

Part of me wonders if part of what makes me a good developer also hurts my mental health. I have to focus on the grin realities of a situation. I can't just pretend things are all fuzzy and nice.
Open-plan is actually sold to employers for its discriminatory "benefit". Mostly it's about age, not disability. People like you and me aren't even on their map. We may be a highly productive (in the long term, though short-term volatility is embarrassing) ~4% of the population but "they" don't care either way about us. They do want to keep "the olds" out, though.

Once people have kids, they struggle with open-plan offices. That's because the biologically rooted need to protect someone makes it impossible for you to keep the "you can trust anyone" attitude of college kids and programmers in halfway-house environments.

Open-plan forces you to trust randoms with visibility into how you are working, and that's something that's intolerable for anyone who's ever had a disability, anyone with a less-than-privileged upbringing, and anyone who's ever had a child (among other sets of people).
My guess: it runs on a NodeJS container along with your other "functions".
Google more or less invented the .adz file for that. It's a glorified zip file with a few naming conventions and a few other things. Many of the more common pieces of ad serving software support it.

This is from the perspective of the person who is uploading the ad, of course, not from the perspective of the browser that is downloading the ad later.
Yes, that idiocy. Of course, Graham himself looks clean because he leans on his attack dogs.
>A lot of devs actually understand needing to take random days off here and there even without having underlying issues.

Yeah a good manager should let people blow off a day or two once in a while. Especially since these days you are likely to get a text message at any time of the evening or even at night for you to fix something.

This reminds me of a time in 7th grade.

In that class we had these desks where you could flip up the top to access your books.

I was sitting next to Elissa who had a huge collection of wacky packages. [1]

You know how everything is funnier when you aren't supposed to laugh? Elissa and I both lifted up our desks, pretending to rummage around in there, and she would show me cards to make me laugh.

We both laughed uncontrollably and thought we were getting away with it too.

In reality there was no way the teacher didn't know we were goofing off, but since we rarely made trouble he just let us blow off some steam.

Each of us makes surplus value for the owners of the companies we work for. Humans need unstructured time, slack, to goof off, call it whatever you want, and not that fake nerf gun levity that tries to pass for it in most startups.

The one shortcoming of these approaches is that they are well-suited for local APIs but less so for network APIs, especially as you start to wire them together. For example, with network APIs you need to worry about stuff like rate limiting, and there's no way to express them.

That said, if you're trying to document a bunch of REST APIs, it's a very helpful thing to do. Just not a total solution :)

This wouldn't prevent the computer from booting into a new key-stealing bootloader newly installed on the hard disk. You probably wouldn't even notice that the computer wasn't actually booting from the USB drive.
I like stuff like TFA that pulls in concepts from numerous sources even if all the pieces don't fit together perfectly. For instance, I doubt Leonard Richardson would be thrilled with the "Ramses Maturity Model" (we couldn't even coin a different initialism?) and the "Level 2.5" idea. Eschewing links runs counter to Richardson's (and Fielding's) vision, period. If one must know the form of representations ahead of time, one cannot consume them in a completely maintainable way. One wouldn't notice this within the organization, but rather at the edges where it must work with other organizations.

That said, Ramses and what it's described as doing is impressive.
Yep, as a Python dev that's used to Python looking a certain way, this is very offputting. This is a great project, and I would hate for it to look "off" by something as trivial as Javascriptish whitespace and formatting conventions.

The way in which you phrase the question illustrates a lack of sophistication. Your decision should depend on whether or not YOU are provided the revenue info. During your interview you ought to have discussed the issue. You could have taken the opportunity to explain that you understand that this info is confidential, and that while it makes little sense to disseminate such across the organization, it is important that you are apprised of such.
I can't provide you the rationale why it is important. You have to establish that yourself.
Finally, if you are saying that revenue figures are shared with investors, but not with any employees other than c-suite execs, then no you do not want to work there. However, I don't think this is your question.
Yes. They were short-term however; 18 months or less, if I recall.
Swivel: Google's successor to word2vec [pdf]
I agree with you as to the language (I just like Python a whole lot better than JS), but I always feel dirty writing in a non-native language, not to mention the pretty big commitment one makes when choosing a transpiler.

In Transcrypt's case, the commitment probably isn't that big, since the JS source is pretty readable (and so I can just migrate to that relatively easily if I want to), but it's still a bit of a hack.

That said, it looks like a great project, and I'll definitely give it a try and hopefully use it more widely.
> public key

The word public is just a name for a kind of key defined in the field of cryptography and doesn't necessary hold the same connotation in application protocols that use public key cryptography. One example would be ephemeral public key that would have to be kept private to be able to retain forward secrecy (although in such schemes DH is usually used).

Consider as well this situation that is closer to SSH. Suppose that you are MS dev working on NT kernel that by night also want to anonymously contribute to Linux. Obviously both camps would not like you to do that for fear of copyright infringement but OpenSSH shouldn't betray you anonymity that could be reasonably expected. It's imaginable that only one public crypto key pair would be needed to authenticate the server if password authentication is used for the client. The user doesn't expect the client software to silently generate key pair, much less that the same pair is used for every domain because the pair is not strictly needed. Although the user should inform himself how the software works a good software similarly shouldn't work in ways that are reasonably unexpected to people that are familiar with the domain. Ideally, if OpenSSH developers can't really foresee it working any other way OpenSSH should at least explicitly inform the user which public key will be used in connection before it is established in order to not assume the consent of poorly informed users.

That's not even the full Win32/16 style. That first line should be:

static LRESULT WINAPI MCIWndProc16(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

And even then MS couldn't decide whether to use message (MSG struct), Msg (SendMessage), uMsg (WindowProc) for the second variable name. Sometimes they would use hwnd as well. I remember it all being very, very confusing when I was learning to program because it was inconsistent in so many ways.

In a semi-related note, Raymond Chen's blog (1) is great for diving into the history of the Windows API and its many quirks and gotchas.
