It could be that you are more wired for anxiety than depression, though. My mother is much like that. She's always been fine on 5-6 hours of sleep. She's also good in stressful situations - as long as there is stuff for her to do. If she's stuck waiting, not so well.

Anxiety is weird in that some of the symptoms overlap with depression.
I've always disliked the idea of using Github/Gitlab pages as it stops you serving over HTTPS. You can put Cloudflare in front to do HTTPS, but I still dislike having a proxy MITM all traffic to my website.
Is this similar to penny stock financing? Did you get many calls for these types of loans?

Would these types of loans aggravate the situation? Are these the companies with super high floats?
I guess I would point to the Yahoo security breach as an example of how poor security can have an adverse financial effect on a company valuation and its CEO's remuneration. The Sony hack also comes to mind as something which damaged it's reputation and had an indirect affect on their financial position.

If hackers could get access to WhatsApp and dump all messages to Wikileaks it would make the company look very bad and a significant number of users would switch to something else. If security is not that important to users, why pretend to add end-to-end encryption at all?
Intel probably intentionally advertises with their weirdo socket names (1156 -> 1155 -> 1150 -> 1151) just to confuse people more. Heck, they probably choose the pin counts in such a strange order just to be more confusing. It's not like they have usable names (Socket H, H2, ...).
Indifference is my mobile protective strategy. Anything I have that's worth anything is located elsewhere and encrypted, so I have the luxury of not caring.

Edit: I guess I never fully drank the mobile kool aid anyway... It's been what 10 years, the gee-whiz-bang effect has worn off, and they're revealed to be little more than a leash/tracking device for humans, with a small shitty interface on which you can't use more than 1 or 2 digits (fingers, son). So that's the foundation of indifference the above indifference comes from.
And why is that number so low?
LinkedIn endorsements are dumb. Here’s the data
A tuple is an instance of the class Tuple, an object by definition. It doesn't matter what a relational or logic programmer would prefer to call it, instances of classes are objects. I can add any behavior I like to those instances via extensions. Your tuple might not have any behavior, you might think of it as pure data, but that's a limitation of your view of things, not the reality. The language provides the ability to extend any class, your reality tunnel isn't the same as others.

> ut to say that tuples are objects is no more true than saying that a user's account is an object, a TCP connection is an object, or a window on screen is an object - it mistakes representation for referent, it confuses the map with the territory.

No, it makes the map useful to navigate the territory by accepting the abstraction of objects as a useful thing; there's a reason to say "everything is an object", it's a powerful ability. I'm a Smalltalk'er, everything literally is an object with methods even if/while/for/foreach statements are modeled with objects.

That you find it confusing or meaningless doesn't matter to me, it's my reality tunnel and it works well.

It's more precise to say "problem" when you mean something bad, and not "issue," which is neutral. I am pretty sure that "issue" is a bureaucratic euphemism.

It seems the higher up you go, the worse language gets:

Technician: "The server is on fire!"
Manager: "Uh . . . the server has a 'problem.'"
Senior Director: "Ahem, the service has an 'issue.'"
Owner: "You mean my server is on fire?"

Actually, maybe it's middle management.
> Lektor is file-based by default, so updating content does not require a cloud server at all but merely access to the root file itself, which can be stored on a service like Dropbox or Google Drive. A developer can use a local server to generate dynamic content and a full-featured site, but the CMS, which is currently a simple Mac app, simply updates the original file.

This. This would be something phenomenal. The problem with WordPress and services like it, is that they take your content, package them into something they can understand and hides them under their pillows.

Inverting the control, like what the OP says -- where the user owns the content, that can be plugged into layers like WordPress, looks like the path towards the future.

I made http://hexopress.com with a similar vision. It is not yet a full blown shape of what I have in mind, but it cuts the concept well.

It doesn't, why would it? That's a pretty niche thing to have.

The return type is recursive with unbounded depth. The typechecker doesn't know the value of `n`, so to it this returns an infinitely recursive type.

Closures are statically dispatched. If you want something like this to work, you should box them as a trait object so that they get dynamically dispatched.

> workarounds

It is not a workaround. Users get one interface which ensures they don't endanger the rest of the world (similar to how in e.g. Germany newbie drivers get limiters in their car engines). Admins get a completely different interface which allows them absolute, complete and granular control.

As someone with the know-how i don't need a workaround. I simply use the interface that was intended to fulfill my needs as a professional with the requisite knowledge and experience.

I sometimes go a whole night without sleep when I'm nervous about something important. I function much better on no sleep than on less than 5 hours of sleep (for one night only that is).

What I've noticed is that without sleep, some of my abilities are stronger, but everything memory-related is much weaker. I notice everything extremely fast, think quickly and react much faster than normally. My focus is pretty crazy. But, I can't remember some things I know, and detailed memories of that day after a sleepless night are usually gone by the next day. I think it might be some sort of survival mode.
It would make a nice screen clock if it actually showed the time most of the time. Instead most times when you look at it to see what time it is you have to wait. At that point you're pulling your phone out of your pocket and next thing you know you're reading HN and wasting time.

This is completely wrong. The more eyes you have on something, the more hackers attacking something combined with more pen testers and coders working on it, the more secure it is.

You know what is insecure and makes for a great target..software developed by few people, updated infrequently by people who don't care. The exact opposite of WordPress.
Wordpress isn't just a thing that people use. It's a gravity well of humanity's non-technical web authoring aspirations; matter keeps accreting there in the form of plugins and feature additions. Escaping it at this point is going to be difficult for most people, similar to how sending satellites into orbit is infeasible for most small businesses.

I recently started freelancing after moving out from Bay Area to a different continent. I used to network a lot in Bay Area and thus I have had good luck finding people who would be interested in my services. However, I have needed to turn down potential clients because they have essentially said that they would like to hire me as an employee. I am young and it seems like most companies are looking to hire me in order to comb me into something useful for them.

Most people here tend to be parallel entrepreneurs rather than serial ones -- they have a half of a dozen projects going on at the same time. For this reason, I would not want to commit to a project to which even the CEO does not seem to have much time for. Some companies also seem to lack the much-spoken thing in Bay Area of product and/or market focus, which would make my role ubiquitous, which is not what I want. Although, because of my young age and mainly software expertise, I don't want to directly say that I think their way of running the business is bad. I do think that most of the companies are able to make it into a profitable business, but for me to engage into payroll positions, I would want something riskier than that.

Have you found the same kind of struggles early into your service firm? Would you have any tips on how to pitch these companies into buying what they want as contract work instead of hiring me as an employee? Any nice way to tell these people that I don't believe in the way they are running the business?
Great informative answer. Question: is the x axis linear scale?
You are assuming the mining electricity comes predominately from fossil fuels which couldn't be further from reality. In reality the cheapest power is often in areas where hydroelectric is the dominate power source and miners choose their location based on availability of cheap power. Look at Washington State for example. It's a major producer of hydropower, has the cheapest electric rates in the US, and has a large number of Bitcoin mining facilities. Even in China it holds true that many mining facilities are in areas supplied by hydro electric power.
I never understand why people care what number it is on a wall when the sun is anywhere.

I go even further with this and say the whole world should be on the same clock. Who cares if it says 03:00 when you eat dinner or 17:00 when you eat breakfast - and think how much easier it will be to plan anything that spans timezones!

Your anecdotal experience is far from uncommon. For the article to even imply this as any sort of cure for depression, though, massively misinterprets the small amount of research on this.

I can well understand the health benefits of pedaling a regular bicycle or a stationary bike. And maybe "spinning classes" provide people with the structure and extra social benefits that will help motivate them to stick with it. But my reaction to the Peloton commercial that has been shown so frequently on US TV in recent months has been WTF???

I just don't get it.
My goodness, when I first started in 2010 I got calls or emails just about every day around 6-7am PST for a year. These guys represent toxic credit lines/loans aka convertible notes/debt or the death spiral, not the better kind found among private startups today e.g. SAFEs. Never accept money from someone that calls you if your a small cap unless you know someone that knows them and they are clean. I was taught that early on by the guy that first invested in MySpace because he had a public co which he used to make that deal through a small NYSE issue I remember.

The way to handle those guys is with some basic Sun Tzu stuff. Most guys would ignore them, but they are so fun to talk to for the lulz.

You have to be real careful because even if smart money gets wind that you have talked to these guys, you might be looking at owning a roach motel by the end of the year. These guys also have the ability to naked short your stock til the cows come home. Something you've got to track. They will sometimes do things like try to book a call through someone partner or shareholder and get an intro, then blab to some subnet of people that you're going to take the deal and mess things up for you while they still short your stock knowing it's going to take a hit just because their dirty asses got near you. They know exactly how dirty gloved they are. Avoiding people like them during trips to NY is also fun and games.

One more point, this is also the main way companies looking to raise money screw their cap table up because, it absolutely ruins their float - this due to the fact that 99% of the time they have to reissue more and more and more of their stock to these death spiral guys to pay them back on the loans after 6mos. The reason its named a death spiral is because the model of most of these crooks follows includes knowing that these fledgling companies are going to have a hard time raising combined with a model that is purely based on shorting these kinds of deals. Amazingly close to absolute fraud.

There were a few reasons why I chose to say 'This product is not yet available yet' rather than sell it. First, I was going to do a full product launch and didn't want to release the product into the wild yet. Second, as comments stated below, if one person bought it at $100 and realized someone else bought it at $5, they would be angry. They would ask for their money back. If I were going to eventually charge $50 for the product (which I did), the people who bought it for more would be pissed.

What should we do if the president is a liar?
I generally disagree with most of the arguments here, but the last part of this article makes a good point that the business owner (person buying website) usually doesn't make the decisions about the technology that gets used. This is especially true for SMBs (I'm excluding the DIY/hacker-types here).

I built a WordPress plugin inside of HubSpot called Leadin (it's now their HubSpot Marketing Free product). The idea was to build light weight marketing automation for Very Small Businesses. We started on WordPress because most small businesses use it. We incorrectly assumed in the beginning the business owners would be the decision makers on whether or not to use our product. We quickly found out it was usually the web development agency/consultant they worked with who would install it for them, then explain the value of the product. We eventually shifted our marketing to focus heavily on agencies which became our main acquisition source.

Agencies like to use WordPress because it's customizable enough to easily build what their clients need, is the same interface across every site and has a huge ecosystem of the add-ons that their clients what. Until you can replicate the WordPress 3rd party developer ecosystem it will remain the dominant player. Also, static sites can't do all the things WordPress does, like polling, comments, shopping carts, etc. you'd have to rely on a third party for those components and when you add up all those, I'd think that would be more than $100/year in subscriptions. It's easier and cheaper to have it all centralized in WordPress which is why agencies choose to use it. If you can charge a retainer too, the holy grail for agencies because it's reoccurring, predictable revenue, you're essentially getting paid to just keep things updated and make sure they don't break or get hacked.

Being a lazy niggard who wants to save $6 a month and 1h set-up is not a sound attitude for anybody in the long run.

Great post! I started using Hugo instead of WordPress in 2015 and haven't looked back. We grew tired of manually updating sites so we built a CMS (shameless plug). https://forestry.io/. We're going to be rolling out some interesting things in the coming months.

Loneliness, isolation and pressure: the inner demons of elite swimming
I can not overstate how broken the NYC culture was in the 1980's and how normal this all would have felt. You would be a sucker if you ran a business without an angle. The angle is what made business fun, it was the clever part, your moat. Also getting paid, especially at a young age, made you feel incredible (I was 14 when I started "Screwy Louie's" an electronic biz since I admired Crazy Eddie). In those days money === status. Status was more important than people. And being labeled a "snitch" or "rat" was a sure way to destroy your status.

If you ever find yourself in a bad culture, you simply need to leave, especially if you are young. Culture has a powerful momentum but that momentum reduces with each person who opts out.

Very simple: if you make waves, they fire you. Then you are damaged goods. No one will hire you. You know that you are the honest party, but someone who doesn't already know and trust you has no basis for deciding whether you are honest or if you are lying about your former employer's dishonesty because you have an axe to grind. Also, even honest employers don't really want to hire someone honest enough to blow the whistle because some day they might want to bend the rules a little bit too, and then they will want everyone to be a "team player."
For me as well. Sometimes I go through periods where I stay up too late, and I almost always end up feeling depressed after a few days of it.

> Mood yes. Ask the kids who rave all night.

I'm not sure if you're joking or not, but I think it's pretty safe to say there are bigger things contributing to "ravers" euphoria than sleep deprivation. Like the music, alcohol. Or in many popular European clubs, the recreational drugs.

That's not to say I'm suggesting people need to on something to be having a good time, but your "raver" example is a pretty poor one if it's not meant as a joke.
Not really. Sometimes you hear about the WordPress security vulnerabilities that are patched, but still exploited, and this is mostly a problem with people not keeping an eye on security updates.

Combine that with the popularity that WordPress has drawing in people who know enough to program themes and plugins, but not enough to program said themes and plugins securely (avoiding simple SQLi and XSS) and you get the perception of an insecure system that WordPress has.

From my own experience: do not build a product until you find someone to pay for it. Unless you are really cashed up but even then you need a customer to drive it.

Take everything you can at the beginning and occasionally charge in beer for small things that took 20 minutes. Some of my biggest jobs came from some of those customers.

If you get along well with your colleague then partner up. You'll help each other out when going gets hard.

Don't be afraid to make drastic changes, like abandoning a product that doesn't sell.
