What I have found through my experiences with depressed people is that the vast majority of them are not insane people in a sane society, but perfectly sane people in an insane society, people who have maladapted to their environment but would otherwise (if they had a better one) be perfectly healthy individuals. Many of them internalize their sadness and helplessness and make it a part of their identity, further reinforcing the common belief among depressed people that they are ill at a biological level (and are not merely healthy people in an unhealthy environment). I don't think the solution to this is ever going to lay in the hands of psychologists, and certainly not psychiatrists (SSRI's and SNRI's work only slightly better than chance in most people, and taking other antidepressant/mood-stabilizing medication is a hellish experience all its own) - it lays in the hands of the people who construct the environment we live in, the people in charge of its development and health, the people who have the most power over society. These are the people who have destroyed it and made the environment we all have to live in such a hellish place, and their successors will certainly be the only people who can fix it.
I don't think this article was meant to be widely shared, especially not in a public space like Hacker News. Alexander has a number of articles about depression grounded in actual established psychiatry and is, unsurprisingly, a big proponent of treating it - I'm not sure how you're getting "doesn't advocate for his patients" from this article. Also, it literally starts with the words "total wild speculation". It certainly looks like it's supposed to start a discussion rather than be informative.
Pandoc? I've never looked into the code (because haskell might be even harder to read than to write), but it's the obvious example of something super useful that was written in Haskell...
I agree with you that the wealth inequality is an issue.

But I also find it amoral for anyone to try to stop someone else from ruling themselves.

It would seem a large part of the problem is the morality of strongly enforcing strong property rights in itself.

In other words, if you see the wealth inequality as sufficiently amoral, then that should not be enough to stop independence, but there might perhaps be worthwhile arguments over what terms to negotiate independence on.

But it is harder to have sympathy when Spain as a whole has not done more to redress that wealth imbalance earlier.
Not true, you can think, as long as you think like everybody else.
tl;dr:
>> Meg Fosque, an organizer at Make the Road New York who testified before New York City Council in 2015, described the laundry industry as one plagued by rampant violations of labor law and exploitation of the largely immigrant workforce by “unscrupulous employers.” Fosque concluded, “the industry as a whole has a disturbing track record and is in need of oversight.”

> The justification for the notch (the new Face ID tech, which lets you unlock the device just by looking at it) could have easily been accomplished with no visual break in the display.

They could've also put the fingerprint reader on the back and do away completely with the Face ID idea. After all, supposedly Apple didn't even consider doing Face ID at first -- they only did it because they couldn't put the fingerprint reader under glass.

But I guess they found the idea of putting the fingerprint reader on the back so repulsive (??) that they instead went on the quest to make a much more secure Face ID (presumably) that also comes with the disadvantage of disrupting the users' screen experience.

So to maintain net neutrality we have to fix democracy first? Makes sense, as that would fix more than NN. The irony is, we need the internet (sans the cats photos and Kardashians) to do that.
If you care about a free and open Internet, you'll work on the next generation of physical layer. One that is not subject to self-serving corporate and government control.

All the rest is just asking for something they've already made clear they don't want to give you. (And won't, using physical force as a last resort.)

I'm not sure that's true. Sweden regularly feature quite far up on these "highest engineering salaries" lists [0]. I think Swedes have adopted sort of a strange outlook these days. Maybe because of avoiding the financial crisis, or at least thinking they did. People attend university for 5+ years, vacation three times a year, get into huge debt 'buying' an apartment or summer home, get a large brand name car and go on long parental leave. Preferably before hitting 30. The result being that private debt is larger than ever and the government has been selling assets like never before to keep the people happy. All great things of course, but unlikely to make one rich (at least by working).

There's no problem getting rich by working in Sweden if you keep your costs in check (which is hard to do these days), don't over educate yourself (also hard with high youth unemployment) and eschew some of the social benefits by working in less comfortable conditions (which is becoming the default anyways).

Doesn't mean you'll be super rich just by working of course, but that's not really true anywhere. At least not if your family isn't already. If it's really a priority one could of course leverage the competitiveness of most Swedes education, attitude and knowledge of languages by going to Zurich, London or (a large city in) the US for a few years.

Do you have any citation for that? I would like to learn more about how that works.
Taking this as a metaphor, there are times at work where I want to be asocial and work on a project alone. However, my company's culture is to be collaborative and do things in groups. While I can see their goal is to strengthen interpersonal bonds, I find it can be a waste of resources. This can happen mostly in cases where we're solving a new problem as opposed to maintaining a legacy system. When multiple employees are working in a realm where their knowledge is limited, but growing, it can cause wheel-spinning because of other commitments. Sometimes going solo allows you to back out of dead ends more quickly and make progress that you can eventually share with others.
I take it you take issue with my writing "one person" because you think it is usually multiple people? If so, I agree with you. That is simply poorly written. I should have written "a group of people". Sorry.

Outstanding. It seems like they attacked an identified problem with an engineered solutions instead of political one. Shame that it never had the chance to be.

No ISP is going to stop rural Montanaians from looking up Yelp reviews or visiting obscure ferret jousting fan pages. No one is even going to throttle video streaming, unless the ISP can demonstrate that the bandwidth consumed times some small per Gigabyte fee is worth far more than the postage and accounting costs (which for a handful of >0.1%-total-traffic-volume sites like Netflix, it will be).

Your prediction is like a Terry Gilliam movie (which I love!), but it's not actually going to happen that way.
I can't find the actual article, but i was reading that the rise of instagram or just selfie cameras has lead to an increased amount of face surgery.

Just the fact that people spend all their days looking at the imperfections of their own body and compare it to perfect ones(the photoshoped) will lead to surgery.

I think adding a photoshoped disclaimer is a step up, but it is not the ultimate solution. At some point we will end up with a mandatory 200by200 picture of a failed surgery plastered on every doctored photo.

>It'd be like if a country banned all voice processing software when singing (which has become ubiquitous today).

I actually don't get it and don't give and fcuk if voice was tuned or real. I like [subjectively] good music, and find bans on some techniques of sound production as weirdo club decisions. Let's ban electric guitars, synthesizers and much more just because one can't play the same tunes on a violin.

Of course there are contests where bare voice is evaluated, but these are not the only way to sing a song or make the music. If people don't like tuning anyway, then why ban? If they do, then what the hell?
Is there any research which shows that Haskell is superior in terms of information theoretic complexity.?

I'm not familiar with the term. The only thing I can find it in reference to Haskell is this:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Algorithm_complexity

which isn't really related to this:

That is favoring the reader/maintainer of code over the writer.

What material is there which shows that Haskell is simple in terms of information theoretic complexity and superior to other languages (not?) designed for that?

You're right. I wrote the comment without having read the article, which is why I wasn't able to put it in context. After having read the article, I agree, I think he makes a good point.

Although I still think telling a person that you consider he or she to be either overweight or skinny is quite meaningless. If they ask you for your opinion, it makes sense to answer, but I have a really hard time believing that an over/underweight person wouldn't have noticed this already while looking in the mirror.

It's a bit like telling a cigarette smoker that smoking is unhealthy and that they should quit. The chance that they didn't know this already is practically zero, which means you're not offering any help.

It is a caricature and not exactly how we act in Norway. I work in the Norwegian tech sector and don't really see this as the problem.

The problem is more about getting investors to novel ideas. It is much easier to get investors to back crazy ideas in the US than in Norway.

Other than that I think Norway has many strengths. It has an efficient government where it is easy and quick to start a company. Unlike the US starting a company is low risk because you got covered with public health care regardless. You got good unemployment benefits you can use for a year while getting your company up and running.

I honestly never felt there was a shirtage of ideas and talent in Norway. The problem is on the business side of things. We are poor at marketing ourselves and think in terms of how to profit from innovations.

But it is in no way impossibe to make it in Norway. Most of our billionaires are self made. In fact we have more billionaires prr capita than the US and more social mobility.

I got a little pushback (not a lot) from my optometrist when I first requested an FD set at laptop distance. However it has made a huge quality of life difference for me.

I also gave up on progressives and now have two pairs: readers and drivers. My current correction is insanely good for reading and for driving. In fact, my opto said it was quite a bit better than 20/20 with no eye strain. Well, there was some eye strain when I adapted to the new prescription. That lasted about a month.

So I strongly recommend that you educate yourself (nerd out) about your choices before going to you optometrist or optician. They can’t educate you and they need to make a buck.

At this point I just go in and say I want single vision Trivex on Marchon 623s. I'm up in the air on coatings, tints, polarized and photochromic. I don't need free form given how good my correction is but if you have a difficult prescription that might be a quality of life thing for you.

You cannot depend on optometrists+opticians to make the right choice for you. You need to educate yourself on the available choices.

BTW, I think the same can be said for contacts. Know your choices.

Bogdanovich retells the story in his spot on Cary Grant impression, explaining that when they approached the ticket taker Grant said, "I'm terribly sorry, I forgot my ticket. May I get in please?" As the ticket taker was looking for his name, Grant says, "It's Cary Grant." "You don't look like Cary Grant," said the ticket taker. And Bogdanovich remembers that Grant, "as quick as wink" said, "I know, nobody does."

I like Haskell a lot, but it has one aspect that has only bothered me. A lot of incidental complexity is added due to the prevalence of custom functions/operators with arbitrary associativity and fixity, on top of normal precedence rules. Perhaps it is because I got spoiled by writing lisp (Clojure) where such concerns never exist in such a uniform language. But writing Haskell can lead you to make lines of code that don't always read in the order you'd expect. I was always having to lookup the fixity and associativity of things to know what was going on just in a single otherwise straightforward line of code.

What were these limits? What did the Constitutions allow the nobility do against the will of the king, assuming a king that wanted to uphold them?

It's not like there was an independent judiciary branch with the power to enforce that against the nobles or the king. Case in point: the king decided to eliminate them and he just went and did it.

Still works for the common usage of “antisocial” if you think of it as “against personally engaging in social activity” instead of “against society.”
Yes, because when entities compete, consumers typically win.

The government in the U.S. has already regulated ISPs to the point that an enormous artificial barrier has arisen to market entry.

We need deregulation. Approval for the major carriers in the U.S. is low enough[0] that someone could probably disrupt the entire industry, except it is next to impossible to enter.

You're also aware of regulatory capture, right? This regulation was premature, and, as is typical of government, overreaching.

Imagine even further expanding the power of the last three administrations, especially with the disaster that is the patriot act. Regulations are bad for business and bad for innovation, outside of monopoly laws, and those give me pause as well.

Hmm that an interesting point of view for those schools to take. I'm sure they have a reason for it, I just haven't quite figured it :-)

Putting it into something I'm more familiar with(eg formally trained), if I had a chef who had just finished his degree I'd certainly expect them to understand how flavours combine, every single standard cooking technique, basic soups, stocks and sauces, as well as able to prepare all standard western food from purchasing, through preparing from the full carcass (for meats) up to presentation.

Which for me I had assumed can degrees would do for programming.

Well the more you learn I guess :-)

Regarding other languages out there, I'm gradually starting to appreciate what has been accomplished with Swift. I did not like it at first, and the new version 4 of the language is much improved over the first a few years ago. But the algebraic data types that are pervasive in the language, and the versatile and type-checked pattern matching, and the familiar functional toolset with first class functions, map, filter, etc, and the widespread use of value types over object references, there are a lot of things there that come from other languages, and most importantly, it's a highly practical language for getting real work done on billions of devices. I'd like to see Swift adopted elsewhere other than just Linux and Apple platforms, as I think it has a lot to offer, some great compromises.
Yup, I own a few Benchmades and aside from one with a physical lock[1](which happens to be a "spring loaded, assisted knife", which is not illegal) all of them could be considered gravity knives by nature of their locking mechanism. However things like Kershaw's SpeedSafe[2] and other assisted knives are totally legal and exempt, it's crazy.

The general wisdom in the knife community is to not make a scene or rock the boat if you've got any pocket knife on you and UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES use a pocket knife to defend yourself(even under thread of life or limb). There's a metric ton of laws about using knives and weapons(even in self defense, largely tied to gang enforcement) and prosecutors tend to aggressively pursue them. In a lot of cases you'd be under less legal jeopardy drawing a pistol with a CCW than a small pocket knife.

Knife laws are also enforced on a per-city basis(aside from the assisted knives which are generally state-level). So one town might have a length limit of 3" where the next town over might be 3.5". It's almost impossible to not run afoul of some local ordinance.
