This is an excellent comment. Mind you, this article and the comments are all excellent, but this one distills that truth isn't important to most people.

The dynamics of conflict are very complex. For example, consider rationalising with ISIS or a discussion around religion. Sometimes, there is no compromise in a discussion.

Here are two contradictory examples of extreme conflict.
1/ Don't pay the Danegeld.
2/ Don't say no to the Mongols.
Both were equivalent situations, but totally different outcomes. One guaranteed annihilation (as an example).

I would suggest the methods suggested work on small scale but not on a large scale (eg. Religion, Nations).

Great comment. Values, not truths.

how satisfied I should be with the status quo depression

I'd be pretty damn depressed if I were thinking in terms of how satisfied I should be with the status quo. A person needs more than having his/her needs taken care of -- what is it? That search is part of the whole life, and you won't find any answers at all for yourself unless you're harnessing the power of depression. Labelling it as a disease will not get you anywhere but just leaves you as a bystander who unfairly got sick.
Hahaha this is awesome! Unfortunately, Alphabet wasn't a thing back then.
The idea of forcing a comment on downvote is an excellent one, and I for one would like to try that for a little while. (I say this as someone who tries to only downvotes for tone and trolling, never for disagreement.)
How long have you been on here? I've been on here a few months I think, and I'm just a little over 400. I'm still a long way from 1000, and that's just one account. So to me, karma is pretty important; AFAIC, I'm just a second-class citizen here at this point.

I do agree about your comparison to Reddit. Honestly, if my workplace didn't block Reddit, I probably wouldn't spend much time here.
Still, I don't like having a screenshot of people's addresses from a health database on my computer.
Playing with a Cardboard, despite the fact I can't use my glasses with it making it an obnoxious experience, meant that I could see enough to make me want to preorder a PS VR (no PC, so it's the obvious choice).
> Don't let any one interviewer dominate the experience of the interviewee (especially if you may have suspicious that the interviewer may be overly didactic or has difficulty explaining things.)

I think this a common problem. Many companies let a single interviewer has huge influence on hiring decisions. What if the interviewer himself/herself had some bias that s/he wasn't aware of?
I got a chance to try out the Gear VR last week, and I was pretty sold on the whole VR thing. But I was really disappointed to find out the Rift required a $1000+ dedicated gaming rig to support it. IMO if Oculus Rift wants to really take off they need to figure out how to become a standalone piece of hardware.

Thats a good description. I may just be getting hung up on (meaningless?) semantics, but its still not quite the same as money but more like credit -- even though $170 is in play, nobody can actually go and get $170 dollars (well, other people's deposits at the bank notwithstanding). I guess fiat is also credit in a sense; but I wonder if the scenario somewhat conflates credit and money. That is I wonder if the bank "expanding credit" really means anything, or if that's simply the nature of credit itself. Thanks for the comments.

I agree. Other than maybe an giving a subconscious association with wine coolers, it seems less wasteful in addition to being simpler and easier.
I disagree, this is pretty different from depression-is-just-sadness.

The article is not shortcutting to a non-solution, it's pointing out that there can be overlooked root causes beyond the symptom, and this can be a very valuable thing to point out to people, leading to actionable solutions to their problem.

I was diagnosed depressed for many years, and it turned out I simply had the expected affect given I was not socializing enough, exercising enough, or sleeping well enough given an undiagnosed case of sleep apnea and a bit of a spiral from obsessing about trying to stay employed despite that affect.

Talking myself in circles, messing around with serotonin, none of this got me anywhere because it wasn't solving the actual problems. I didn't need any of that, I needed a machine that pushes air into my face at night and another one that pulls a belt below my feet in the morning, but the professionals I visited failed to prescribe these.

People have no basis of comparison when it comes to their direct subjective experience with long-lived habits so someone who exercises regularly can say "if I couch-potato too hard, I'll start to feel gross", but someone who doesn't can't as easily observe "I feel gross all the time because I never exercise enough". Likewise with hygiene, regular social exposure, sleeping properly, eating properly. It's important to think of mood as a complex function with many inputs and a good amount of feedback and delay.

Certainly it can be the case that depression is its own root cause, and one should not reject talk therapy or prescriptions to help with it, but I definitely recommend people search for something they may have overlooked.

Maybe there are good psychiatrists and therapists which will find these kinds of things, but I haven't met any. Patients should be aware they need to consider them.
So if I understand correctly, I would not only need to buy the 200 $ "smart bottle" to drink wine, but could also only use it with specialized "wine cartridges"? Honestly, this sounds more like something that the printer industry would come up with.

And it keeps getting better: Using Wifi (!), the bottle sends me information about the wine that I'm about to drink to my smartphone. You mean, like a label? And it also knows when I opened it so that I can rate the wine I'm drinking, again using Wifi?

Probably I'm just getting too old for all this, but I think some things are just fine they way there are and don't need to get any "smarter". A glass bottle with a cork (be it wooden, plastic or glass) is an almost perfect solution for storing wine already: It can be produced at mass and at very low cost, can be kept for decades and can be recycled. It is also easy to transport, hard to break, (reasonably) opaque to UV light and still allows the wine inside to "breathe" (again, depending on the type of cork used).

If you are really worried about your wine starting to oxidize and ferment after opening it, simply put it in the refrigerator, which will slow that process significantly. Alternatively, you could transfer the leftover quantity to a smaller "dumb" bottle (make sure it's compatible with your bottle's interface though ;)), which will minimize the amount of air in the bottle and keep the wine from going bad.
You're not going to be able to "touch screen" a new bottle of wine if you live in any number of states that won't allow wine to be shipped to you from out of state unless the distributor is willing to pay what effectively boils down to a tariff on wine imports.
Amen to this article. As one who myself once believed my depression "came out of nowhere" (but which, in retrospect, was an obvious symptom of my emotionally destructive family and school environment) and who tried for many years to smother those feelings with antidepressants, I feel strongly that this article presents a wiser path.

Evolutionarily speaking, it seems likely that depression/anxiety are there for some purpose, and yet we treat them both like meaningless pain meant only to be banished using drugs. I believe both are signals that something in our environment is not working for us. They indicate emotional or physical needs unmet---needs for safety, autonomy, connection, etc.

Often the individual suffering is fundamentally unaware of their own circumstances. I didn't realize how messed up my family relationships were growing up until much later. There are various reasons for this unawareness, but I believe the depression/anxiety are there to force our conscious self and the people around us to acknowledge that something is wrong.

This isn't just the old nonsense about depressed people needing to cheer up, and that it will pass in a day. This is a completely different paradigm that explains depression and anxiety as meaningful signals of underlying problems rather than as inexplicable suffering to be numbed through prescription medication. I believe it will prove the more robust and also the wiser way of looking at these experiences.
I had also the same impression. I think one of the best approaches is let the best engineers at the company go through same interview process. If they can't get pass through the hiring bar of the company, then maybe that company should re-think their hiring process.
As the author of Rust's regex crate (and various other stringy things), Rust's string handling is easily the best I've ever used. The usage of String/&str completely dwarfs usage of the other string types, which are a bit more specialized.

Oh, I understand that, but I find the video entertaining, and I will say that I often have trouble finding viewpoints from places like Oracle, IBM, and SUN.

Why would they? Do they have shareholders to account to?
Of the hundreds of people I've seen drink wine, never once have I heard this as an issue.
The way I got out of those sorts of issues was by noticing that the medical system is inadequate. It is geared towards hiding symptoms with drugs - to get people back into work, even if those people are a mess inside.

It's all down to personal responsibility. You have to find the drive inside to constantly push. To forget the victim mentality that society encourages. To fix one problem at a time. To fight the hellish mode that your mind has enabled.

A thousand times this! I learned English by playing games by LucasArts and Sierra! (Ok, and also taking classes, but you get the point). Text adventures were particularly good for learning, since the parser encouraged me to find synonyms for verbs it didn't understand... I still remember I learned the word "rub" in Space Quest 2, for the part where you need to rub berries over Roger Wilco's body so that he wouldn't get eaten by a monster.

Games seem like a particularly good way of encouraging young people to learn other languages.

I completely agree, thanks for the insight. A little disappointed to see people dismissing this article right off the bat.
While trying better to
understand someone else
in my family, the
expert advice I got was that anxiety is nearly always genetic, that is, nature and not nurture. And the expert claimed that it is known that psychotherapy, e.g., as suggested in the OP, doesn't work for anxiety or some of its other symptoms, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social phobia, paranoia, hysteria, psychopathic-passive.

For more, there is

David V. Sheehan, M.D.,
The Anxiety Disease.

where he argues that, even
after controlling on various
obvious candidate variables,
anxiety disease is four times
more common in human females than
human males. He conjectures that
the difference is so great that
at some time the disease must
have had some reproductive
advantage.

Or, some people come from just
horrible backgrounds and still
do not suffer from anxiety
disease, while other people
come from apparently ideal
backgrounds and do suffer.

Of course, a child gets from
their parents both nature and
nurture, so we have to suspect
that can be difficult to
separate the two.

Still, IMHO, on this
quite serious subject, the OP is a bit
too simplistic.

> looked for general knowledge over specific knowledge

This is one commonly thrown BS regarding interviews. At the end of the day it is all about one-dimensional usual algorithmic questions.

Regarding LRU cache, I think this is one of less crazy interview questions. In one phone interview, I had to solve a DP problem, code it perfectly and pass all the test-cases on HackerRank in less than twenty minutes. I am not certain how many developers out there can pass such interviews without months of preparation in such situations. Tech interviews are basically programming contests. I am not against programming contests or algorithmic questions. But it seems the interview questions are getting crazier day by day.

I don't really understand how any part of what you said refutes the article.

> There are days that I feel like I am the luckiest man in the world, technically speaking

The reality is that each person's needs are different, and just because you are the luckiest man in the world based off society's values doesn't mean your individual needs are being met.

I sympathize with the fact that you have depression but I don't really see how the article is dangerous. If anything I would think that it's good to try and find/fix any underlying issues which cause the depression if possible rather than just hoping medication will make everything go away.

We still don't have a good understanding of the brain and psychological disorders..

They have these in larger supermarkets in the UK. Usually 1/4 of a shelf compared to the 20 odd shelves of normal wine.

Interesting. This mitigates the problem somewhat (by making it not binary) but not entirely.
I don't think depression is just one thing, certainly not the way they are prescribing SSRIs these days.
The real "solution" is for wine producers to sell half-bottles. It's something that most others food producers have adapted to, but somehow the upmarket wine sector is stuck on wasteful multi-person formats.

Is it really appropriate as a "Show HN" though, or should it really have been a more general submission?

Feels like a link to a 'paid only' project goes against the spirit.
I'm not sure why you are calling this a new paradigm. Don't most, if not all, therapists deal with depression as a symptom for necessary changes in life circumstance? Yes, every particular case is different, but in general, therapy is meant to motivate you to make a change---either in perspective, or practice or upon external sources of angst.
Why would I care more?

There is no such thing as "reasoning from first principle" for most of our engineering situations that can be described in an interview, regardless of whether it's hard or not. Because everything is based on tradeoff and very very specific scenarios.

I will reason from first principles if the interviewer provide me with a 200 pages detail on the budget, timeframe, use cases, target users and all deployment constrains. Otherwise we all worked based on assumptions and experience we got, even if the interviewer don't want to acknowledge that.

Yeah, it's sort of historic. I like to joke that renaming String to StrBuf is my only wish for Rust 2.0.

That said, if anything, it would be StrBuf and str, because str is a primitive type, hence the lower case. It almost wasn't a primitive type, but there were drawbacks, so we kept it as one.

> If you're a commercial bank, you don't have to get another loan.

Yes, you do. They borrow more money from the Fed, at the current Fed rate. This may not go through all the hoops a regular lendor requires, but it is a loan. That's why bank loan rates closely follow Fed rates. It's not money for free, it's very easy loans.

> No; but we are discussing "benefits of working at scale" that aren't really due to working at scale, but to special privileges that commercial banks have that private individuals don't.

Individuals also don't have to match the regulatory burden of the banks. Any individual could match those burdens (which may require a minimum loan amount, and a minimum amount of money on-hand) and try to get themselves certified as a bank, and then they could. They would need to meet the regulatory requirements too at that point though. You could argue that banks don't have enough regulatory hurdles in place to make up for the sweet deal they are getting from the Fed, but that's not the argument I've seen put forth.

> But when one looks at the history of how the Fed came into existence, it's hard to shake the feeling that it was the real purpose

Well, I don't see it that way, so it's it's not that hard for me. In order to try to control the economy, some regulations and incentives were put in place. Those are always able to be gamed, so you can either try to reduce the gaming to increasingly hard edge cases, or do away with the regulation. I think the regulation has a net positive effect, so I'm in favor of the former.

In other words, no matter what alternative you propose, if it was adopted it would be easy to look at it, look at the proponents that gained from it, and conclude the real purpose was to benefit those individuals. There's always winners and losers in any controlled situation, as the control always suits some better than others.
Thanks for the perspective, and ditto. It sounds condescending, and obviously physical brain damage (e.g. CTE) can cause depression completely separately from life circumstances, but I would venture that for a majority of people who say "My life is just fine but I am depressed anyway", their life is not actually fine.

It's not even that they are lying, but we humans are very good at hiding truths, even from ourselves. It can be very hard to truly admit that one is unhappy about one's life, and frankly many people have never really experienced a true sense of fulfillment, peace, belonging, purpose and happiness, and don't know what it would feel like or understand how lacking the feeling is in their lives.

"My life is fine" generally means "I've checked the right boxes: 'success', 'friends', a relationship, but I still feel empty." Don't use drugs to numb that feeling. Listen to it.
