As a quick survey, do the people who believe that SSRIs have only a placebo effect also disbelieve any biological source of depression?

Since the plural of anecdote is data, I'll share my story. I struggle with depression. I've kept it at bay for a long time now, but I had a big wave this year. It turns out that was ~1wk after a Rx refill and I realized the pharmacist refilled at half the dosage. Fixing the dosage got me on track in a couple of days.

I know I'm not above a placebo effect. The placebo theory could explain my recovery, but I'm not sure how it could explain regressing when my dosage was messed up.
I have 2 kids and have consciously tried to avoid the helicopter-parent mindset and let them play on their own. But now as they approach adolescence I find myself more interested in how they spend their free time. Not so much hovering but making sure they are busy, gentle encouraging team sports & activities as an alternative to just "hanging out."

I believe the audience here skews younger but for those of you that have raised kids to adulthood, any advice? And for you more recent adolescents, how did you experience parenting at that age? When I look back it seems to me that the smartphone has changed everything.
The point is not everybody has a phone with an advanced amoled or similar deep, pure black display. It may be changing, but the majority of the people still has to look at a mediocre screen at best.
I love amoled displays, but I realize I'm a bit privileged.
AOT isn't for the first 100ms, it's to avoid the 10K invocations required on a method for HotSpot to determine a hot code path and optimize the method - that can take a lot longer than 100ms and why when you see the JVM used in the financial sector, for example, they go through a lot of effort to "warm" the JVM.

Of course without runtime profiling the AOT built code may not be optimized for the hot path correctly, HotSpot will still deoptimize in this case and begin profiling again - so it's not going to be suitable for everything until they allow you to capture profiling details and feed it into the AOT compiler.

Worked in the SE of England as a programmer for 20 years, moved to being a tester ( had 20 years experience of how things could go wrong) then moved away from the rat race commute of London to low-cost of living Michigan and couldn't be happier.

Currently learning how to program mobile apps so that I can test them better
Was wondering the same thing... I know in our environment, unexpected events on a box cause more problems than entire server failures. We design around servers coming in and out; specific processes failing in random ways is harder to design around.
As another commenter pointed out Apply/Google seem to set design trends, as evidence of this take a look at OmniFocus (a professionally built Mac App). It loves to use grey text on white. I used to use this program extensively, but found my eyes grew tired while using the app.

Note, I raised this with the Omni team and their response was to add theming support. Sigh, so now I can customize a better contrast. What about all those other folks that simply don't know why their eyes get tired after using these beautiful displays.
There is a more interesting conclusion we can draw from the data, which is that 90% of people who bought Apple-branded chargers & cables sold on Amazon either:

- didn't care that the products were fake, or

- couldn't tell the difference between the two

I can imagine this going like this:

1. They extradite this guy to USA

2. Accuse him of hacking and offering him a plea and full protection if he says that Putin was the one who sponsored these attacks

3. Guy says whatever they want him to say

4. USA has now "solid" evidence that Putin hacked them

Certainly, but in the US, the gov't is offering a $7,500 tax rebate. Additionally, many states are offering rebates, as well.

Here is one such illustration of cost breakdowns in the state of Colorado:

Part of the problem is that a lot of companies use web developer agencies that deliver 'PDF' static pages of 'design' that is full of lorem-ipsum text in light grey.

This 'design' process is not about how it works, it is purely about how it looks. To designers that means not having to worry about what happens when links are clicked and not having to worry about people who look at the design on anything other than a high end Mac (with its non-standard gamma). Certainly do not take interest in the product, hence the rigid adherence to 'lorem ipsum'. In this world text is just shapes on a page, not something that needs to be right.

A design process should be about getting it to work with a focus on content, then, after that, the kids that only know Photoshop (and not a bit of HTML or SVG or CSS) can be called on to provide a little bit of their artwork. Tragically though the process is far too often wrong, with these static PDF images casting in stone what the website will look like, even if the content is illegible.

Far too many people in design are 'poseurs' rather than true creatives. Consequently they can lack true confidence and merely imitate, hence, if Apple are doing spider-grey text in nano-font sizes on a grey background then that just gets appropriated.

There is no user testing in this far too common dev process, it is just whether the guy paying the bills likes the PDF files, then some developers have to deliver this vision without questioning it.
Yes. People imposing costs through pollution or whatever without paying for that matters. (It also matters that they may be doing irreversible damage, irreparable at any cost.)

It's just not called a subsidy and is irrelevant to the point that putting electricity in your car versus gas looks good from a pure "cost to my monthly bottom line" point of view partly because of residential rate subsidies that allow poor people to turn the lights on.

You're not getting gasoline from Big Oil Co below what it costs to produce.

You're getting residential power below production cost from Local Power Co. For now. That loophole will likely be closed, at least partially, as EV's become ubiquitous.

Yep, saw that happen with at least one company. When the lease was about to expire at the office the CEO wanted to relocate the office to the far south suburbs, where he lives, even though it meant 2x-3x longer commute for all but a couple of the employees there, and people were already driving 30-45 minutes to get there.

I can see how working for Google, there is no issue using their cloud infrastructure... For other companies I don't see the benefit esp since Google is an enormous data broker to the US government and security infrastructure. Microsoft used a similar, yet relatively benign tactic, of copying works created in their dev environment and then pushing out the competition simply through free or cheaper prices.

It just can't be ignored that promising or lucrative businesses, workflows, models using SV infrastructure provided by Google et al, will just be passed off to those passing through the revolving door as "rewards", etc.

If you are willing to share, I'd be curious to hear more about your situation. I've seen salary plateau at certain career levels and ages (40s usually), but saying salary goes down at all (let alone sharply) is something that I expect is not a general truth about the market at large. My anecdotal data comes from ~20 years in recruiting engineers.

There are several reasons you could see a salary drop (stagnating skill set no longer in demand, move to company that pays less, move to industry that values programmers less, etc.), but age alone isn't likely to be one of them.
This was my thought. I would love to use it, but I am not going to give up my SPG card from American Express. It gives me 1 point per purchase, but by saving those points for first class tickets, I have been netting out at 25 cents per point.

For instance, I just took a first class, round trip flight to Tokyo with my wife. The cost for each one way flight was a bit over $15k. So thats almost $60,000 in flights that I booked for 240k SPG points (transferred to AA with bonus, which then booked with Japan Airlines and Singapore Air). If I had used Final's 1% cashback program, I would have only received $2400.

Seems like a no brainer to skip out on the cooler features to get 25% more value from my purchases.
Uhh, TAOCP predates Erlang by quite a bit. Shouldn't the headline be, "Erlang uses a Donald Knuth-like notation"?
That was my general reaction too, followed by wondering if I should start backing away slowly - this was an actual situation I got an unexpected view of yesterday as a result of a whole bunch of Clinton supporters latching onto some dubious claims and refusing to let go, no-one on that side being willing to challenge it, and their claims spilling over slightly into the HN comments. This election is pretty well post-truth.
While I agree that we're not talking about huge write volume in the grand scheme of things, and I definitely agree with you that Bedrock should pay aphyr to run this through Jepsen (particularly with their new replication strategy--see some of my concerns below), Expensify's overall transaction volume is probably close to the limit of what 95% of businesses are ever going to see, they have contractual latency and availability requirements they have to fulfill that are also probably more stringent than 95% of businesses are ever going to see, and they've been doing it with a single master database (no partitioning) and a single writer on that master. I think it's useful information that SQLite works for them, because it means SQLite would work fine for most people and (as is evidenced by this thread) a lot of people don't think SQLite can work for a site like Expensify.

And seeing actual numbers are important, too. People often act like in terms of write volume you're either shared hosting fodder, or you're Facebook, but there's a lot of room in between, and a lot of HA workloads are very read-dominated. It's very hard to find information about the businesses fall in the middle of that spectrum because usually no technology company talks about its traffic unless it's bragging about it (and then will release only vague information that could be spun in lots of different ways--for instance, not to call you out, I have no clue what "HA" means in your context, whether you need distributed transactions, whether the writes are cleanly partitionable, what isolation level you need, what your latency requirements are, or what the read:write ratio looks like). So I'd rather encourage people to release their numbers than poo-poo them because they aren't as big as whatever the biggest system you've worked on is.

The popular idea is that "it's your responsibility to vote", and that we should get as many people as possible to do so.

Thank god Mike Rowe, somewhat of an opinion leader, is showing how dumb that is. For democracy to work, we need educated, we'll-informed voters. If you're voting on a whim, without having invested the time necessary to understand the issues thoroughly, then you're part of the problem.

If voter ID restrictions serve to weed out people who aren't willing to make an investment in being a good voter, then I'm all in favor of it.

You're spot on. I haven't purchased anything on Amazon besides Kindle books for a long time now. I used to buy from Amazon because the buying experience was easy and I could be fairly confident I was getting something close to the best price. Now the experience is terrible and pricing often mediocre. I might as well hit up B&H, NewEgg, Target, Micro Center, or whoever else instead, and buy from whoever has the best offer there.

For a long time I could not understand why anonymous closures were not implemented in c/c++, and even had arguments on forums, but then realized that people just do not think in that terms. You can provide lambdas, but they will use these for iterators or similar bs. And there is no better technique or framework for the case you described, they just don't do that at all.

I had wonky, comes-and-goes knee pain which cleared up when I hit the gym and started doing squats.

If you have a body pain problem, "see if lifting doesn't help" is good advice, but you have to be careful, i.e., don't be a dumb gymbro and load on more weight than you know you can hamdle with good form.
That wasn't the argument.
I saw a BBC report suggesting the dangers of this product being counterfeit which made me think. Then I compared online images to the product and the thing that convinced me was there is a missing registered symbol on the logo. The logo looked a little out of alignment as well. Then after buying a store brought version I compared them side by side and you can tell all the differences really easily then. It was a very, very good copy though.

I had early access to this but passed on it after I read more about it, specifically:

Annual Fee: $0 intro for the first year, $49 per year thereafter

And

Earn 1% cash back on all purchases

So you have to spend $5000 on this card just to break even and then I'm still only getting 1% back. As someone who has never really had an issues with my CC which averages me 2% back and is free and I can't start to justify this. I use Simple Bank and love the UI (mobile/web) and this UI looks nice but with Simple I didn't have to leave money on the table to switch over to it (or at least not how I use it).
Bank of America's interface sort of sucks. It takes:

1. logging in

2. clicking on your credit card's account

3. scrolling way down on the right hand side

4. knowing that "ShopSafe" is thing to click on

5. waiting for the little ShopSafe interface to load (it typically takes 10+ seconds)

6. clicking on either "Create a new number" or "Create a new number for recurring payment"

7. entering the security code from the actual physical card (probably a reasonable step)

8. actually filling out the details of the virtual number

That's just to create a number. And if you want to generate a number for something like Netflix or Github (fixed-cost, recurring) and not have to change it every 12 months, too bad -- BofA won't let you generate a recurring payment number that is valid for more than 12 months.

It may have been done before, but that doesn't mean it was done well. I think there's plenty of room for improvement in this area, whether it's done by BofA (who has apparently had 16 years to make something useful), or a new entrant like Final.

I find that people who consider remapping capslock to anything else are people who don't know how to touch type. If you are in that camp I would strongly recommend spending the time to retrain yourself to learn how to touch type with home row position. You'll find that the capslock becomes a much more valuable key. You'll also find that your wrists are happier. It's an annoying time investment,but it's a valuable one. I combined it with switching to Dvorak... which really hampered my typing speed for a couple weeks but also helped improve my wrist happiness.
> Over the past year I've gotten increasingly frustrated with the overall Quality of the Amazon shopping "experience."

Me too, and I can add:

6. Spend time figuring out if the product is available locally for the same (or better) price. I feel like sucker buying from Amazon and waiting a minimum of 2 days to get something I could have gotten locally in 20 minutes for the same/cheaper price.

7. Deal with Amazon's new, terrible delivery service. Using untrained, un-unformed randos to deliver packages in their personal vehicles means my deliveries get screwed up much, much more frequently. I've had these people fail follow my package delivery instructions that are posted on my door (deliver to the apartment office, rather than leaving at the door), even after I've talked to them personally. No other delivery service has this problem. I blame Amazon for this experience far more than the drivers.

It's gotten to the point where I only go to Amazon for less-common long-tail stuff. If it's an item that may be reasonably available at a retailer, I just shop locally.
Just like we are able to stop now, as the CO2 levels are life-threateningly high, right?
