1. Go to a mental health professional and talk about
what's going on. Do so for several months.

My wife and I were talking about this last night. (She's a researcher in a field of psychology.) It is common to see lists like this that start with "get help", but it's incredibly hard to actually do it:

* Insurance may or may not cover it.

* Someone who has never been to a MH professional has no idea what to expect or what they need.

* MH professionals are generally not good at explaining where to start. Resources are few and far between.

* Most MH professionals are specialized in ways a novice doesn't understand.

* Most MH professionals don't have good websites or don't return phone calls.

* MH has a stigma, so a) you're unlikely to know if your friends see someone or b) be willing to ask for a referral.

* MH degrees and credentials are confusing: MSC, MMFT, MSW, MAPC, PhD, MD, LMHC/LCMHC/CMHC, RN, LPCC/LPC/LCPC, etc.

* Medication, if you want to explore that route, is a completely different discipline (psychiatry) and never the twain shall meet.

* Counseling is incredibly dependent on connecting with your MH professional. So if you manage to navigate the above and get an appointment, but don't feel like you can open up, you have to start all over.

Don't get me wrong: you should go to a MH professional and talk about what's going on. Keep pushing until you find someone you like.
To be fair, I think SV has been far too politicized and that's why you see it here.
Awful. There should be a way to force companies that are so clearly in the wrong into compliance.
"He noted that treatment guidelines for every metastatic lung cancer patient worldwide recently changed in the course of one week after a research presentation at a cancer conference."

Isn't this a good thing then that there's a digital assistant to ensure doctors are up-to-date and provide the right treatment plans?

what about aiohttp? Doesn't it fit to the job of flask/django. A complete stack is one cookiecutter away.
It's the same thing all autocrats want which is to consolidate their power while protecting the little people from themselves.

I can see where they are coming from though; I'm pretty sure the investigations of Internet usage that turn up on politicians desks contain pretty disconcerting information about the human condition.

Short Story: The Elephant and the Rope
> For the interviewer for a say intermediate-level enterprise software backend position who needs to quickly sift through 50 applicants, what is the better option by way of code challenges?

Code challenges are a dead end. You can have someone who passes every code challenge imaginable, but is absolutely awful to work with. Software development is more about communication and problem solving than anything else, so focus on those things first. Technical challenges are easier to overcome than personal ones! Here's my strategy:

- Resume smell test to filter out 90% of the applicants (spelling errors, run on sentences, poor formatting, poor experience, etc. If the applicant doesn't care or know enough to fix these on their resume, chances are they will do the same to your code base)

- 20min In person or on-camera interview smell test to filter out another 5% (punctuality, check for communication and personality problems, smoke test of technical knowledge)

- 1 hour+ in person interview to pick your candidate (deep dives into past projects, talk through or whiteboard a common problem in your industry, meet'n'greet with other team members)

- 3 month probation period to fully vet the new candidate and build trust.

There's no way that, out of 50 applicants, all of them are going to be equal, don't treat them that way. You need to fast track ones that are very promising and get them to meet with the team asap.
The Internet was never democratic. When did you get to vote on anything?
Thanks Wink! The background setting isn't me but I hope you like the way it works currently. The module is linked to a git repo which has issues and polls if you'd like to offer feedback on the development

This "dilemma" is great. I'd rather find out my code is garbage and be able to learn and fix it than not know and continue writing garbage code.

Fear of that criticism being public is just an ego thing. If you write something people use you will be criticized, if not for the code then for so everything else. Closed- source doesn't help with that.

Some say the only way out is to kill your ego, but that's pretty difficult to do. I think a smaller step that's easier is to simply stop attaching your self-worth to your code. You wouldn't hate a learning programmer because they're bad at coding. Extend that same feeling to yourself--unless you think you know everything, you're still learning. People might not like what you make, but that's an opportunity to figure out why, so you can do things differently next time.
> How is C-like syntax a plus?

It's the most common syntax pattern of popular languages. Statistically, more developers know a language with a "C-like" syntax than Lisp, Haskell, Erlang..
It's also easier to block if you want to (on the web).

Not so easy when it's baked into the OS and software you use.
By today's standards they would probably mark Reagan as leftie. And most of Europe has dropped off the spectrum completely.

In addition to the usual copyedit tweaks, headlines are the thing that editors are more likely to go in and make more attention-grabbing, even if they become less neutrally factual in the process. This isn't really anything new although of course historically it was done before the issue actually went to press.
A large number of clothes dryers in Europe (save for the UK, which still uses a lot of hotboxes) are condensation dryers. Some countries (Sweden I believe) actually don't allow vented hotbox dryers for new construction due to building codes explicitly barring them. Heat pump dryers have been around for about 3-4 years now, but condensation dryers have been around for decades.

In the US, but have been running Bosch condensation dryers for over a decade. Previous rental had one and the immediate difference I noticed was how much longer my clothes lasted from the cooler temps, so when I moved I bought my own W/D. No regrets.
Then the issue isn't with the tests necessarily, it's with employers using a test of Skillset A to screen candidates for a job that is 80% Skillset B and 20% Skillset C. That doesn't make the tests ageist (which I suspect was included mostly as click bait), it just makes the hiring managers at these companies bad at their jobs.

Raise your hand if hiring managers being bad at screening technical candidates for highly technical roles is surprising to you.

Mostly virtue signaling. The piece finally address labor at the very last graphic: most entrepreneurs think labor unions should have less influence. The NYT painting this as “far-left” is a sign of how far to the right the US has come.

Kids are smarter than we give them credit for. I think maybe we need to just give them the space to figure shit out on their own.
> Ah, there's the "they're only joking" trope we know and love.

It's not like that. I don't want to trivialize the death of the girl in Charlotte either, it's a domestic terror incident.

There's a constant background hum of political violent extremism throughout Europe and America. The key indicator for which species is ascendant is whether the popular media narrative is leaning one way or the other. The validation of these group's concerns seem to give them the entitlement they need to turn rhetoric into activity.

There's already been an attempt on one Congressman's life so imagine what will happen if something similar succeeds.

> I know where this is going. I say "Oh, but communists aren't as bad as Nazis, that would never happen" and you bring up that wikipedia page showing that more people died under communism than nazism and we all mark you down as a "whataboutism" sympathiser and the world is a little bit shittier.

I see you've been here before. We can always hold a truce and declare both groups unworthy.

>> Have you any idea how many protests feature the flag with the hammer & sickle?

> Oh, there's the whataboutism.

It does bug me. One gets consternation. The other "meh".
Once I was asked to start working on an app in a new domain, I had never worked in that domain and without good enough knowledge, working on that app would be crazy. The first 2 days in it and I realized, there has to be some systematic way of going about it.

I brought it up in the next weekly meeting, asked for a resource (book, session by colleague, video anything) from the team already working on it. They recommended a book and I explained that I need to work through the book while correlating the app with the book and working on bugs/features, all the same time while explicitly stating that I need some time/guidance to be up and running.

That was taken very positively and in a few weeks, I was productive as per/more than the expectations, while following the steps outlined.

Don't worry, be pro-active, ask, make a plan with the team and follow it. The more you do nothing about it, the worse it might get. Best.
Ask HN: Has anyone used a HURD-based system before?
I'm just curious, maybe someone tried it for development purposes, or just to mess around?

Honestly, if Arch/Hurd was ready, I'd have tried it myself.
The most usable distro is probably Debian/HURD, has anyone used that, and if yes - is there an immediately noticeable difference in how the system performs/feels?

And is it really that big of a deal that it's only 32 bit at the moment? (Yeah it limits the
maximum usable RAM, but otherwise?)
I evaluated it in early 2011. At that time all NoSQL dbs were new in market.

For me, their restriction on usage in cluster mode, very less support for all languages and lack of file storing abilities like GridFS of Mongo made it unattractive.

Eventually Mongo seemed good choice because it was completely free for any kind of use with amazing features and lots of libraries. I am glad I made that decision :)
I've read estimates of smallpox outbreak at 20-50% mortality across the continent. Some areas in New England are estimated to have a 96% mortality rate. Pretty crazy.
I won't speak for Oracle because it's always been a "if you have the money you can get a custom patch for the behavior you want" game.

But for Postgres, you contact the developers. If your problems are costing you so much money why wouldn't you just hire a core developer on the Postgres team or hire EnterpriseDB on contract to work on your issues? They'll fix the bug, upstream the fix, and roll you updated packages you can push out to your servers. Not entirely different than working with Oracle, except you are working in the open source world.

Hints are bad. Next time you upgrade your database you may end up with worse performance due to other changes in the query planner. Once your data crosses a certain size threshold it may also start performing worse. They are unpredictable. You will never know when they could break. Using them is the wrong solution.
I think there's also a serious risk of infringing on fair use/fair dealing and even remixes and so on here. An algorithm can't tell whether you're using content for piracy or for criticism. As you point out, YouTube's Content ID system has given us a fantastic preview of the potential problems here.
This is primarily a problem for people who are older but not yet eligible for Medicare (government health care that becomes available at age 65). Basically, don't lose your job between age 50 and 65, unless you have literally hundreds of thousands of dollars saved just to pay for huge individual market insurance premiums.
I find the 20 minute on/5 minutes off Pomodoro cycle is great for getting me started into a problem. After 1 or 2 of these cycles I find I'm skipping the breaks and sustaining focused work for longer.
I used to be like this and began to realize that it was limiting me professionally as well as in general growth as a person. I started forcing my perspective to be this instead, "Can I do this more elegantly than those that came before me?" It pushed me to learn about problems and really foster a depth of understanding that I never would have reached due to the "If I'm not the first..." mentality. Now I find a deeper self-esteem boost in gaining understanding and subsequently teaching others the knowledge I've gained.
May have been the one that "helpfully" deleted your music, and replaced it by compressed version, even if you didn't bought it via iTunes. Or deleted your files period, if it detected a not so "equivalent" version you could download.

Supposedly to save local disk space.

I recall an accounting of a composer losing his work file that way —they got compressed behind his back. Thank goodness he had a backup.
Unfortunately X 509 doesn't support multiple signatures. But your model is very similar to HPKP, just the details on what exactly is signed are different.
I wonder if it's even really about the editing process. It seems possible to me that they intentionally start with a more provocative headline to get more early traction for an article, and then switch to the more neutral title as an article gains views. I could even imagine it being A/B tested early to see which headline will get them the most shares.

It hasn't been mentioned before, but I find that socializing - especially with friends - relieve you of stress. It doesn't have to involve deep conversions but just being around friends have a strengthening and calming effect. Take time to cultivate your friendships.

Universities rush to add Data Science majors as demand explodes
Lots of IBM where I work too, can't say a single good thing either.. honestly Watson being a bust is not very surprising! The people who pay the bills get taken to fancy parties and dinners by IBM, they give us free "trainings"(sales pitches) where they try to convince us to use something that management has already bought into... Honestly it's all very terrible :(

My sentiment of IBM these days is they sell software which is purposely made bad...and people buy it because, well no one ever got fired for going with IBM.
I have a story for young HNers: if you want to learn about burnout, I propose to you a dangerous thing to try out (note: I did warn you). I did it myself (note: I did warn you twice).

What I tried out was studying as much as possible for the longest period of time on university. Do this as long until you either (1) cry yourself to sleep at night from exhaustion or (2) start to feel emotionally numb. This has to be combined with the condition that you see yourself having a reduced output/productivity.

I expected to get (1) but instead I got (2). I then went to the wikipedia page on burnout and looked at the checklist [1] and saw I had almost all of them, except for the most severe ones. I took on half the amount of study work (which was still more than most students would do) and since it was the end of the second semester, the summer holidays arrived. The next
academic year I was fine.

Why did I do this? Simple: I recognize that I am a person who wants to work hard. So I knew I'd get a burnout sooner or later in my life. It's better then to be acquainted with it, so that I can see the warning signals. Also, it's easier to experiment with this on university than in a working environment, since it's easier to take uni a bit less seriously than work -- for me at least. Also, I prefer to make deliberate mistakes as young as possible when I know there's a high likelihood I'll make them down the line anyway.

Note: I did warn you thrice. It is a dangerous experiment, but so is any experiment where you want to look up your limits. Knowing your limits, however, can be very beneficial.

It's a pretty rough estimation for sure but I considered how much on average is made by the Fiverr's top quote image content gigs and did a quick analysis of how many packages could be sold on the verticals not covered by the Fiverr's gigs.

Let's see how it goes though.
one additional reason not to feed that clickbait machine
It could be worse than "post now, edit later".

The author could propose a list of a few possible headlines, say 10, each more or less urging/click-baity/informative. Then let an algorithm choose the most click-baity headline as visitors click on the headlines in ads or in Google news (using AB tests or multi-arn bandit algorithms).

I don't know if any news site does this yet, but it could explain the increase of click-baity or uninformative headlines in Google news.
Closer to idomatic Ruby:

state = behavior.respond_to? :init ? behavior.init : {}

Asking an object if something is "callable" in Ruby is probably unnecesarily verbose, as you are most likely dealing with a method for any attribute access.
What strikes me as incredible is that 44% of Democrats agreed with the original statement. I'm not an American, but isn't that totally incompatible with the party's ideals?

EDIT: The fact that the vast majority of them agreed with the two options that are for redistribution of wealth kind of confirm that, in my opinion.
I feel like having cron, by default, lock out the next iteration of a program or at least some kind of spawn limit would be ideal.

I see this a LOT with wordpress & PHP "developers" deployed on shared hosting (where they often don't observe the runtime and such of these things). They end up having one script step over the next and the next and eventually combined they are generating so much load on the database or some other service that none of them ever finish. Fun fun...

I wonder if systemd timers can do that?
For this reason the article seems at least a little alarmist.

It wouldn't be news that Estonian politics is delving into censorship/surveillance; tacking on "EU Presidency" just ads faux-gravitas.
> Doubly so if your dog is more than 30 lbs (really a large cat).

Maybe if you have a cougar for a pet. Large housecats are 15-18#. When they get to 30# they can't see their feet anymore because they are shaped like beach balls at that point.
Gold is peculiar in this sense, but generally speaking I think it’s worth separating value from price

If we doubled oil supply tomorrow, the price would drop drastically, probably to less than half. The total price of all the oil would be less than yesterday. But, that doesn’t mean we’re deriving less value from the oil. We’ll have more energy and materials, that’s more value. It probably isn’t twice the value (we’d probably be less energy efficient, for example) but it would definitely be more value.
Part of the problem is that the discipline is very wide, and there's different mixes of skills needed:

+-----------+
|\ business | - excel macros
| \ + |
| \ users | - web dev
| \ |
| \ | - back end dev
| \ |
| \ | - framework dev
| \ |
| \ | - tooling
| \ |
| coding \| - OS / compiler / database dev
+-----------+

There's no simple cutoff that can mark someone out simply as a developer. And the diagram above doesn't reflect the fact that within each slice of the coding wedge, there's a different mix of technologies, different rates of technology turnover, requiring a different mix of e.g. aptitude to pick up new technologies quickly, vs depth of experience in existing technologies, quite apart from what the specific technologies are.
We aren't having much luck here. :).

At first blush, sounds like these folks are generally liberal as a result of their upbringing and higher education, and then they run into a spot in entrepreneurship where liberal ideology restricts business growth (ideologically to the benefit of the consumer). Reconciling high ideals with how they might restrict your business is always a struggle. Some may use those ideals to their advantage, some may embrace the cognitive dissonance, some may turn on their ideals altogether.

What do you mean "find support" ? This is open source software. Your sysadmins are your first line of support. If they can't debug issues, work with the open source community, and write basic patches in C you have the wrong staff.
