Most people who get depressed get through it without any special intervention, while some of us require a period of time on medication and/or counseling. But we still don't know enough about depression to figure out who will respond best with medication vs counseling, or for how long treatment will be required. That's one of the reasons for tapering - to give you time to adjust to the lower dosage, both in terms of letting your body adjust to the biochemical changes, but also give you a chance to gauge how you're doing emotionally and decide whether to continue tapering, stay where you are, or even go back up to a previous dose.

It sounds more like you weren't at a point where you could manage to get off the medication completely, and maybe you should have stayed at either your original dose, or one of the steps along the way for a while.

But - and this is the key - if you are working with your doctor, and you're both comfortable with the plan you've come up with, then that's what you should do.

That CEO to lowest worker comparison is bloody scary!

I remember watching a documetary years ago about a ship manufacturing company on Japan where the CEO was only getting 4-5 times the nase workers salary(if i remember correctly), I honestly thought that wouldnt have changed much. I know different coubtry and all, but damn, the article said something like 440:1 now.

(Side note, asked my wife who works for a very big car manufacturer in Japan, she said the top CEO is paid a huge amount, so i guess that documentary either is very out dated or things have changed a lot haha).
I feel that rich text is sadly something our trade has mostly just given up on. What's in vogue? Still HTML, which is IMO a really really sad state of affairs, since there's basically no way you can cleanly map between HTML and a wysiwyg editor. The simple question of "where is the cursor?" is almost impossible to answer in the general case.

It should be established that tearing things down that looked solid and accepted before is novel and surprising. Because it is. Especially when so many people have worked on top of that.

Once everything that was tearable is teared down, the remaining picture will be much more reliable representation of what is real and what is not.
And it probably makes Fabian Pascal go postal :)
What would be the number you'd consider "flooding"? As soon the significant instability is introduced, it's too much. It depends on the effects, not on the numbers alone.
Programmers, hackers, mathematician, often tend to fall into this trap. It was pretty well illustrated by Swift, in Gulliver's travel. When the protagonist arrive in Laputa, the city of mathematician, they take his measurements to make him a suit. But they only take one measure! Because we can compute all other measures through fancy equations... and that's how everyone in Laputa ends up with suits that are not well-adjusted.
Ditto for math libraries, machine learning libraries + tools, statistics calculations and matrix multiplier kernels.

The salaries discussed in these comments are only valid for San Francisco / Seattle / New York. London has incredibly bad compensation for programmers, relative to the cost of living.
ETFs are just investment funds you can buy and sell in the stock market, with their own symbol and everything just like any other stocks.

Index (passive) funds track an index, instead of trying to outperform the market.

You can have passive funds that are not ETFs (do not appear as a symbol in the stock market, have to go through a bank or whatever to buy shares), and active funds that are ETFs (actively managed).

Last time I worked with Backbone I recall there being a schism in the community regarding the use of JQuery under the hood. The author was presented with performance metrics comparing Backbone to a vanilla JS fork which had made substantial improvements to rendering performance. That might've represented a major turning point in the evolution of the framework, but perhaps one of the reasons it stagnated was little to none of that criticism was taken onboard?

Just out of interest, what were the main challenges you faced when using Celery?

Celery is a task queue. Pika could definitely be used to build a task queue (similarly to how Celery is built on top of Kombu), but I can't think of many good reasons why that would pay off. Unless your use case was not a task queue...
> Would you yourself actually choose SQL Server on Linux for a project?

It will significantly reduce the licensing implications of using SQL Server for a small project. I know people who use MSSQL in their day job but postgres/other for personal projects and one of the reasons is needing to license Windows if a personal project becomes public and needs hosting. This way a small project can use SQL Server Express on Linux just as cost free as progres (or mysql if you must) on Linux.

The choice of OS will no longer dictates the choice of DB, that decision can be entirely made on the needs of the project and its target users.

Small projects using Express edition may grow into larger ones needed standard/enterprise features, and people exposed to SQL Server through projects using it on Linux are less likely to dismiss ti later because the know postgres/other only. I'm not sure how much we'll see brand new larger projects use SQL Server on Linux any time soon though, but I imagine "get them in at the ground floor and create familiarity as early as possible" is the intention here much like cheap educational licensing for Windows, Office, & full VS and the availability of VS Express.
I moved from Glasgow to Aberdeen (and stayed there for a decade) and it was noticeable how differently they treat that word. Even in situations where swear words were flying, breaking out "cunt" would put pause to the conversation. It was strange, and amusing.

Women from Glasgow certainly use that word. Just as frequently as men. That's not to say all women, or all men, but in equal proportion.

> "The BBC has police to enforce its subscriptions - a model not easily reproduced by private companies."

If you're going to reply, at least consider the context in which the comments were made. The original point I was responding to was that subscription models only work in state supported media outlets. My assertion was that Sky proves that subscription models are possible outside those restraints.

Furthermore, even if there was a case where a company was not supported by the law, subscription models can still exist. There are examples online of subscription services for illegal content. One could argue that Usenet subscriptions in the broadband era fall into this category, the chances that people are currently paying a monthly fee to access the discussions is somewhat slim.
As I was reading the original post, I was wondering what a similar comparison of Web-based text editors would look like: Ace, CodeMirror, Atom, Monaco… They all feel like they have slightly different performance characteristics, but I've never dug into how each was done. That post is a great start!
How are the clustering options coming along with PostgreSQL? The last time I looked into there weren't any multi-master solutions out of the box, but there were a bunch of separate implementations that mostly seemed to be half-baked.

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Replication,_Clustering,_an...

It's my understanding that the Postgres team has decided to change their historical stance of considering clustering solutions outside the scope of the core project, but I'm unclear exactly how far that has come.

The variety of different 3rd party implementations in various states of maturity make this a bit tedious to sort through.

That said, I always pick PG for my personal projects. I just have a hard time getting sign-off on it from my corporate overlords for anything at work.
> I work on a software product that supports MySQL, PgSQL and SqlServer

"SQL Server on Linux" really means "More developers will be able to offer compatibility with SQL Server" - those who use Mac OS X and Linux as a primary environment.

My software supports PgSQL, MySQL, H2 and Oracle because they can run on my Macbook, or at least in a Linux VM. I explicitly exclude MS SQL because I'm not able to install MS SQL Server to test (at least not with a legal license). It's the same for continuous testing: It's easy to launch a Linux VM on a VPS, it's much less easy to launch and execute automated tests on a Windows machine.

> Serbia was interested in annexing Bosnia

The annexation by the Austro-Hungarian empire is what actually happened. Serbia wasn't interested in any "annexation." To claim that you'd have to cite something relevant.

And to set the record straight, Austro-Hungarian empire was present in Bosnia since 1878 (Congress of Berlin in 1878) but they annexed it in 1908:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina#Austro-...

Even that presence since 1878 was the result of Empire's goals to keep the Slavic people separated:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Convention_of_1877

"For Austria, it was important that Russia did not attempt to create a large Slavic state (großen, kompakten, slawischen Staat) in the Balkans that would create problems with the Slavic nations within the monarchy.[3]"

Expansion was an additional benefit. Keeping the Slavic people divided was important as almost 40% of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy were Slavic people(!)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary

It wasn't a simple situation but Austria actually annexed Bosnia in 1908 and Austria was very eager to fight Serbia in war.

Austrian historians actually discussed this in 2014, and at least some of them claim "Austria surely didn't want the World War, but really wanted the war with Serbia."

That's what I meant with confusion. If the legal situation isn't entirely clear, the kernel team, distros and related companies might very well decide to play it safe.

While I admit it was wrong to claim that all meta-analysis is bad, the main point of my argument has not been refuted. You cannot inspect 100 papers and make a truth claim that is stronger than the quality of the papers, and doing so is a folly. Nobody in maths uses meta-analysis to prove a theorem.

How is it a private gain? The cost to travel to pick up a passenger is built into the price of the trip. Efficiently routing these fairs could be far cheaper than owning a vehicle that's idle most of the time, while also far more convenient than hoping your route criscrosses enough with public transit not to be inconvenient.

I personally believe the future consists of transport networks that allow you to enter your expected trip, either the present moment or planned in the future, and an autonomous system will translate your request into transit based on the price you're willing to pay (and desired level of predictable reliability). So if you travel to work around the same time every day, you can probably achieve a fairly low price with high reliability. Uber is the beginning of such a network, and if self-driving cars existed, the model would take off to a whole new level. Imagine if the vehicles were capable enough to deliver freight and packages between businesses and residences overnight while not in use (or less in use) for passengers.

> “Showing the source code in no way reveals the magic encryption keys generated by the source code and maintained in secret on people’s individual devices.”

No, but it does tend to give one ideas on how to obtain those magic encryption keys from a running system. Especially when said system is closed source and may not have had as much scrutiny as it should.

You should use an ad blocker because it gives you control over your browsing experience. You need that control because advertisers have made the web an unpleasant place. The thing is, we all need adverts. Think of all the products you've bought, that you wouldn't have known about without advertising. The issue isn't 'To block or not to block'. Everyone should block ads until advertisers learn to behave. As advertisers are unlikely to learn to behave voluntarily, it's up to ad-blockers, bloggers and news sites to start pushing advertisers in the right direction. Annoying ads, slow downloads and tracking all need to go. Bloggers should avoid the main offenders and work with advertisers that offer true unobtrusive ads, minimum downloads and that don't track. We need adverts, but more importantly, we need advertisers to play nice.

I don't think this gets to the heart of how words can become taboo in the first place. It's because they evoke associations and imagery in the listener's mind which are gross (e.g. bad smells, STDs, jealousy).

Moreover, the listener is complicit in this grossness because it's the listener's mind which generates the imagery. Gratuitous swearing isn't merely ugly: it actively lowers the tone of a conversation. Sometimes the tone needs to be lowered. But now it's harder for sensitive listeners to think, so we risk losing the benefit of their wisdom.

Well, that example doesn't use catch, so it doesn't really tip the scales on catchable vs uncatchable exceptions. It does show that you have to be extra careful when making function calls from unsafe blocks, and that destructors are especially error prone. I agree with all that :-)
> Really? I'm pleading ignorance here but, for example, how could Apple's actions be considered collusion with Amazon

They colluded with Amazon's suppliers. To use your soda example: it's as if 7-11 were growing tired of Walmart door-busting with 1-dime sodas. So they collude with Coke and Pepsi and change the contract for all soda retailers to say "you can't sell soda at a price that you (the retailer) wants. You will sell the soda on our behalf at a price we want"

Doesn't the timeline coincide with women entering the workforce (increasingly after WW2) and massive immigration to the US (after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965)? Basically, a large influx of (at least potential) workers increased the supply and lowered the price (in wages and benefits employees could demand) of labour.

There are other effects, like specialization, which make consultants much more effective at certain tasks with which regular employees don't have a chance to build experience. However, like lowered transaction costs, I don't think this is crucial.
I cannot think of any word my friends or me would find offensive which is why I have to take care not to say the wrong things when in other countries. I was raised in the Netherlands in schools where we had plenty of religious discourse and we all (my friend group) became atheist, so anything using the lord's name in vain wouldn't bother me at all; it doesn't even register most of the time. And then most of our parents didn't want to shield us much from the big-bad-world, so swearing US humor and UK humor were normal as well. I really didn't know until I met my aunt from Canada for the first time when I was 9 or 10 that 'fuck' is not normal in some circles. Note this was the early 80s; no internet, very limited communication besides few BBS's + magazines + tv + local (Dutch, no foreigners) events. I don't see anything wrong with it; some words are just 'stop words' but to respect other people's feelings I try not to use anything that I know is considered 'bad' in those circles.

It always amazes me that rich/educated people swear a lot and poor/uneducated people swear a lot but in between (middle-class) everyone is ultra polite. At least that is what I found from the limited (as one person of course experiences cannot be very broad) set of meetings in NL/UK/US.
