Yeah I'm not so sure that this could be a sustainable treatment, even if we assume it has some temporary mood-lifting effect.

Speaking as someone who's now suffered through a series of major depressive episodes over the past year and a half, the only effects 2 nights+ sleep deprivation has had on me are: worse mood, dis-inhibition (sort of like being drunk), and mild auditory hallucinations. No long-term benefits that I've noticed, other than a bit of insight into the nature of (mild) hallucination (difficult to explain, but they're more like 'misinterpreting' things, rather than straight up imagining things that are not there).

EDIT: I really would advise who is suffering from depression, if you're hell-bent on the DIY approach I wouldn't start with this one. Frankly, it could be dangerous. Maybe start with one of the more proven approaches: exercise, diet, mindfulness meditation or regular and sufficient sleep.
In a sense: yes. Heavy, large, and all its mass is near its rim. For a flywheel, it's not _that_ fast, though; only about 125 revolutions/hour.

They got rid of the forces acting on the center of a flywheel that tear apart large fast flywheels by getting rid of the axle and using a rail on the outside of the wheel to counteract the centrifugal forces.

I would guess they want to use maglev as a rail system, as a conventional track may break down too soon at 2000 km/h. On the other hand, it is 'only' 15 km of rails in a controlled environment, and they can use enormous wheels, so it may be possible to lay conventional track a lot smoother than outside.
A while ago, I spent a fair amount of time evaluating JIT frameworks including DynASM. The one I ended up using is something called Xbyak (https://github.com/herumi/xbyak) which I think is a bit of a hidden gem. Unlike DynASM, it doesn't require a preprocessing pass, is better documented and IMHO easier to use.

So if you're in the market for a lightweight JIT engine and target C++/X86, I'd give Xbyak a whirl too and see which one you like better.
Do you have any evidence that all habit methods are bogus? It's quite a big claim to make, so would imagine you'd have something strong to back it up.

Also, do you have any evidence that there are "no shortcuts or hacks for motivation"? I'd be quite surprised if that were true, because motivational speakers seem to be get people motivated in a very short space of time, so I would expect there to be some shortcuts.
1. Build a routine. Set a specific, repeating time when you will do the thing in your calendar. Keep that slot clear, ALWAYS. Never let something interrupt this task.

2. Learn to say no. If someone wants you to do something else during this time slot, say no, and tell them why.

3. Never break the routine. Breaking it once makes it MUCH easier to break the next scheduled time. If you do break it, feel bad about it and get back on the horse IMMEDIATELY.

4. Use the power of accountability to reinforce the routine. If you can find someone who will hold you accountable, do it. Someone who does the routine with you, or a coach who will call you out if you make excuses.

5. One thing at a time. Don't build some huge routine of 15 tasks at once. Ease into it one task at a time.

6. Don't overload yourself. Leave time in your schedule for play. If it gets to be too much, decide CONSCIOUSLY which one you will drop permanently (and not right before the schedule to do it).

Edit: I'll also say this: Overcoming adversity builds discipline. A tough life that forces you to fight for what you want builds this naturally. An easy, carefree life doesn't make you tough. Seek out tough things to toughen yourself up.
I think the original shortcuts come from pretty early windows systems (.lnk files may have been around 95, but .pif files seem basically equivalent and existed by 3, but probably earlier).
Existing FS symlinks? Did FAT support them? .lnk came about in Windows 95.
Definitely what influx does. I feel like I get an email from them at least every week.
Not only that, they ask for your work email address. I'm only using InfluxDB for my home dashboard (raspi, some sensors, etc.) so I just went with "sales@influxdb.com" instead.

3D experiment with flat image
Agreed. Breaking changes can lead to alienation of user base, but I think there's a danger in lulling people into expecting that kind of constancy in software. It creates dependency of another kind. Maybe the trick is to vary features at some rate, getting users used to change and bringing them along.

In retail it used to be the case that you could go to the same store a month later and see the same shirt to buy. The Sears catalog [1] presented that sort of constancy for consumers. Today there's a lot of flux. Some of it actually engineered to prevent people from delaying purchasing decisions. In software we can and do introduce breaking changes for ease of maintenance, and that can be ok as long as people are used to it. It's making the choice to have a living ecosystem.

The frozen 4 dimensional object creates a projection of the other dimensions, including time and relative time. Time is hen a subsystem within the system.

Their analogy, aptly for HN, is that of computer code which is in one dimension interpreted amd executed linearly, being able to project something like a 3D game. Think something like minecraft's source code being interpreted and creating an infinite procedurally generated world that constantly evolves with an in game timer despite the source code still being static. Quantum mechanics, the mechanics governing the source code could still make it timeless and indeterministic, but output of the code (the projection), is still bound by the in game physics and timer much like time in general relativity.

Really big challenge keeping the magnets from flying apart. They exert absurd forces on each other.
Because welfare of any kind is seen as a moral failure by many. UBI is just a more streamlined version of moral failure. I don't agree with this sentiment, but many hold it.

As far as alternatives to UBI go, a lot of people have the hope that automation (indirectly) will create new jobs, and society will ultimately adjust to fill those jobs. I don't know if this will always happen. Many people aren't going to buy any pastry or ask for gardeners if only a handful of them can afford these things to begin with.

> I'm assuming you won't find another scapegoat minority to pin all of your problems on.

I fully agree with you. Muslims are just scapegoated, because they are minority. It has nothing to do with all these attacks, rapes, Calais, Rotherham. This is particularly vile having in mind that Muslims always belonged to Europe and Islamic tradition is the root of its culture. They are fully entitled to Europe. Or, if not fully, at least much more than those occupants who have been living for the last 2000 years.

i have a project dating back around maybe ten or 15 years that could read the text format (xml iirc) of dia drawings and execute them.

the main problems included being actually very hard to understand visually, very ugly, and subject to all sorts of edge case errors when running. basically easier to write code then compile uml from that for anyone crazy enough to want it.

the crux of the problems is verbosity. Once systems start to get to a reasonable level of complexity the uml diagrams can cover the walls of a large room.

An offtopicish observation.

The military is often perceived as an inflexible, bureaucratic institution. Unchanging and rigidly top down. In my experience during service, this wasn't the case. Commanders, and even enlisted soldiers were encouraged and supported in coming up with creative solutions, often to deal with a lack of resources or support from that bureaucratic, top down hierarchy. A story like this is always fun to read because it was largely a grassroots effort, some of which I saw come to fruition in the service when on-the-ground solutions were widely adopted.

I doubt there is any 100% reliable way, or any way that works for everyone (cause people are different), so it's partly a case of finding out what works for you.

A useful discovery for me was that emotion is a greater driving force that rationality. Rather than making a list of all the reasons that exercise will be good for you, spend time visualising exactly how wonderful you will feel (in as much detail as possible) when you are fit, and spend time visualising how bad you will feel if you don't get fit.

It might not work for you, but if it does it can be very powerful.
One last point. The RH being true implies F(s) is analytic outside the critical line but within the critical strip. If we take what's called the contrapositive of this statement, then if we could somehow show F(s) is not analytic in this region, then this would disprove the RH.

So what the paper claims to be true is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the RH to be true. Since most think the RH does hold, the paper's claim most likely is true and may even have already been proven elsewhere.

Clearly the key is understanding what the word analytic means in complex function theory. It's basically like saying a real-valued function in Calculus I is differentiable, but now we are talking about what this means for a complex-valued function.
Really depends on where you live. I'm writing this from a 2-room apartment in a modernized WBS 70/5 [1] in East Germany, and I have not noticed any social stigma until now.

Excellent list. I would like to add a couple of things that have worked for me:

1. Ensure sufficient sleep (varies for each individual)

2. Identify and manage sources of stress

3. Practice mindfulness meditation

Doing the above ensures that your willpower is stronger and you are able to stick with new habits.
>I'm soooooo looking forward to the rise of the far right in Europe because I'm soooooo tired of all of this, of all the news, of my girlfriend telling me how she doesn't feel secure walking alone in the city,

It's interesting that even behind a green account, apparently created just to comment here, you're neither willing nor able to mention what city your girlfriend is too scared to walk alone in, for fear of the Muslim hordes.

I don't know what's more disappointing, the low effort in your comment, or how readily people seem to be falling for the bait. We should demand higher standards, even from trolls.
To give this guy some backup: this happens here in The Netherlands as well. Gay couples could feel safe in the public space at the end of last century.

Now they are harassed, sometimes even to the point they decide to leave their neighbourhoods. It is not safe anymore to hold hands or kiss for gay couples in public spaces in Amsterdam.

Young women without their hair covered are considered fair game by muslim youth and are less safe than before. Some students are actually starting to cover their hair in the evening to prevent getting harassed.

Amsterdam past a 'law' last week to try to counter this harassment but it has no teeth, will be unenforceable.

Not talking about problems do not make them go away.
You could say that work is already done. Generate a rails API app and then use whatever front end you want.
Definitely. If it wasn't Muslim youths blowing themselves up, castrating people in the Bataclan, and running over people in trucks, it'd be Protestant and Roman Catholic youths. Or maybe atheists. Atheists are usually pretty angry.

We should bring in more Muslims, to make the Muslims who are already here feel more comfortable, so they don't blow up as much.
It looks like they want to make a User interface on top of it. It is very difficult to make a user interface that reads and writes from a regular programming language as there are multiple ways to write the same expression (with space, without space, with new line etc).

Interesting perspective on the terms (in your last paragraph). I've long thought it's odd how this language has changed over the years. A long time ago a disabled person might have been called "retarded" -- that's probably the most offensive term of all now, but the literal meaning of the word itself is least offensive, simply meaning "slowed down". Then came "handicapped", which isn't used much anymore, but literally just means having some kind of restriction. Now we are much more enlightened and say "disabled" -- it's the least offensive term now, but if you take it literally that word is quite horrible, meaning "not working" or "incapacitated" or "turned off" or "unable to be used", as in "the bomb squad disabled the bomb". Why did we settle on a word that means "not working" for someone who has a handicap?
Got some fun, thank you

>By the way, though I hate the clunkiness of terminology like "people with disabilities", I think it's justified in this case. For me, the word "disabled", particularly in the context of employment, has the connotation of being unable to be productive. Some people's disabilities are severe enough that that's true of them, but that's not all of us, not by a long shot. Maybe I'm being over-sensitive about that, but I'm just telling you how I see it, for what it's worth.

*This is not aimed at the OP

I'm just going to go off on a tangent with you here 100%! I hate it when people say that I'm "wheelchair-bound" and I'm TOTALLY oversensitive to it, and I'm probably oversensitive to because the whole world is aggressively designed to make my life difficult. Not intentionally, there (probably) isn't some anti-disabled cabal going around making pavements uneven but when you live in a world that is hostile to you it's very easy to get sensitive to the language people use. Words have meanings. And I don't really care, I think we should band together and bann the word disabled. I think we should disable it.

By the way, the Germans have a great saying, they use "wheelchair driver". Now that I like.
No, they did not.

There are 1+ billion Muslims worldwide. There are over 5 million in France alone. If all Muslims actually supported the vile, disgusting acts that you speak of, Europe would be in pure chaos! Just imagine if 5 million "terrorists" went on a rampage in France. The fact that such terrible incidents are few and far in between is proof that the vast majority of Muslims have nothing to do with it.

Ironically, most of the perpetrators of the recent terrorist attacks in Europe were quite assimilated into local culture. They drank, did not pray, and didn't actually know the basics of Islam in general! I believe that they were easy targets for recruiters because of their lack of knowledge. Moreover, I'm not sure how you can call someone who doesn't know how to practice a religion a follower of said religion.

> It's not finished, though, and honestly I'm pretty sure that borrow checking isn't even that hard compared to all the other stuff a Rust compiler has to do, like generic/trait resolurion.

You can implement basic trait resolution via name mangling and a global map. I did this as an experiment a number of years ago to implement type class-like overloading in C. I'm not sure how far you could take that technique though. I don't think it would work for higher-kinded types, but Rust doesn't have those.

I'll dig into the article, but out front there is something I don't understand. What is this second, trusted compiler? How did we get that? Why not just use that and its results, rather than vetting foreign compilers...? EDIT: Reading, but I think I'm having more questions, not less. The compiler source could introduces optimizations into the compiler binary's output that could be used to recompile the source again and get a _better_ binary right? The article speaks of compiling the source once with the the foreign compiler and then again with its results; but, on the trusted side it seems to be saying you just do one compilation and you don't compile the source again with the result of that compilation. Seems like you'd have to use the same measures on both sides before comparing binaries?
That should be getting changed to have a dismiss x on the upper right. TBH I thought it had been done already. Overly aggressive marketing department...
