I use SMBSync2 (android) to back up my photos daily to a network drive. Then I created a nightly job that mounts an encrypted drive, syncs the photos, then unmounts the drive. Finally, I just created a job that uploads the encrypted drive to the cloud. This way I have an offsite backup of my stuff.

Videos of monks performing self-immolation are enough proof to me.

These monks practice mindfulness meditation for decades, and as a result, they have such control over their minds that they are literally able to "ignore" the pain of being on fire and sit still through the entire duration.
Engaging in mindfulness implies changing what you think about, or, where your focus is. This can be therapeutic to persons who are suffer from anxiety and depression because it interrupts periods where negative thoughts dominate their consciousness and replaces them with periods where their thoughts focused on current circumstances that are generally benign or pleasant.

For persons who don't benefit from such therapy, mindfulness could mean re-focusing away from the abstract thinking that solves problems or invents or creates. Many people deliver their work product or improve their circumstances through this type of thinking. Practicing mindfulness may negatively impact them by reducing the amount of time they spend contemplating in such areas.

I've been gluten free for 10 months. To start with I thought it made a difference - sharper mind, not constantly bloated (and I'm not talking minor, but '8 months pregnant' bloating after any meal).

The mind maybe, but the bloating and sluggishness has come back, along with the apathy, lethargy and a touch of depression. Gluten (I've tried introducing it back this last week) or no gluten, the bloating's the same and sometimes worse when avoiding gluten.

Back to the drawing board, but for those reading, YMMV.

The assumption isn't that the entire blockchain is stored forever, its that users who keep year old coins can 1) receive blocks (either as they are created, or in some batched process where the batch size could be as large as you like up to e.g. 1 year) and 2) store 2k of state per coin. This is weaker assumption than that of a full node in Bitcoin (which stores the entire blockchain)but obviously stronger than an SPV client which doesn't receive blocks.

And remember, this only happens for really old coins. The data from looking at Monero's anonymous Tx's (recall there was a bug that leaked spending history) is that coins are typically spent with in a week. Not just does this mean few users will pay this cost, but the cost will actually be smaller. You don't need the entire block to update the non-memership proof for a given epoch, you only need all the serial numbers from that epoch that were in that block. Thats likely a small fraction of transactions. Zcash serial numbers are 256 bits by the way.

Yes, its a cost. But it is the price you pay for strong privacy. If you can prune transactions, its because you know their outputs have been spent. Which means those outputs don't contribute to your anonymity set.
This is a great heuristic vs tediously defining something more precise. Nice.
I frequently hear an argument against these practices that they're just a placebo. But wouldn't that actually be an argument for it? If the placebo makes you believe that you have less stress and greater stillness, I don't see how that's different from "really" having less stress. Which means it's not a placebo but really works.

Just a food for thought. In any case aside from the endless and consistent anecdotal evidence, there is a science to it

The article makes an opaque reference to "the oft-quoted David Foster Wallace passage on suicide and burning buildings". Here's the actual quote from Infinite Jest for those who have not yet had seen it quoted enough to know by heart:

The so-called ‘psychotically depressed’ person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness’ or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.

And here's a longer excerpt from the book that includes the quote, with some discussion: http://theviewfromhell.blogspot.com/2011/04/elements-of-suic...

Same experiences here.

I've just noticed that sleeping, proper diet, and exercise are things that just keep me in motion. I guess one way to cope is to just build momentum.

At the very least, I can say that I feel satisfied about things that I've accomplished, even if I still don't feel great about myself. And that is at least enough to keep me getting out of bed every morning instead of moping around.
What are you implying? That the fact that Buddhism exists means mindfulness is an effective way of dealing with stress and pain? You could say the same of alcohol or Christianity or depression.

That post in particular was a subject of discussion at CppCon for a hot second and is partially why I mentioned the Rust thing. There are other things as well, but I don't want to rake people if it isn't necessary. I pay attention to the Rust subreddit and I see enough misconceptions about C++ and how it works in various comments that it helped reinforce my choice to include that snarky statement. I do understand why so many C++ programmers at CppCon thought that Rust can be dismissed as a fad because of its community's understanding of C++. That said, this sort of parroting about how C++ works and why it is "bad" is everywhere and you can even see it in the comments on this very submission (such as mention of std::variant and implicit conversion to bool. That specific issue is easily remedied but wasn't part of the specification. It's been noted as a defect and will be fixed "soon"?)

I still chuckle when randos make arguments like "C++ can't be parsed with an LALR parser", or "virtual functions are more expensive than function pointers", as if the former is the end of the world, and the latter is a checkmate that will suddenly make my knees week, arms heavy. There's code in my editor, and it's just spaghetti.
Cmon, tho, they literally built a system to ID cops. It's no wonder people are giving them shit, even if you forgive it all you have to know its terrible optics. It's not really astounding.

And I don't think the blockchain world is any any way over regulated or stifled, 5ish years in and its still basically the wild west. Btce was one of the biggest exchanges until recently, and I doubt whatshisface would have even been arrested had they not vacationed in greece or w/e. And any random jerkoff can still make something just like it. Or implement some funny p2p exchange etc..
Have you considered that they may be people with different opinions than you?

Reddit is one thing, but Hacker News does not allow downvotes until a user earns 500 karma. That's a high bar to cross for a bot.

I also don't see where I subscribed to any "whataboutisms." My point is that you shouldn't attribute to botnets what can be adequately explained by the existence of people who disagree with you.
But we can blame a person with perfectly functioning legs if they pretend to have a limp and e.g. cause a congestion in a subway station. The line should be between "having trouble walking" and "being able to walk just fine", not somewhere on the spectrum between a limp and a missing leg. Same with intelligence, there should be a line above which a person should be able to act normally (as opposed to stupidly). I'm not trying to make a distinction according to the severity of mental disabilities, but between having one and not having one; between purposefully or negligently acting "stupid", and having no other choice. Which, again, can never be done without error; so some people will be unfairly blamed or the other way around. But the alternative is to just accept any kind of stupid behaviour, even from people who have the option to behave better.

>Why do we blame dumb people for their dumbness, but only if they're not too dumb?

Adding to what I wrote above: Ideally we shouldn't blame "dumb" people at all, just relatively smart, or normal, people who act dumb. I will agree though that we (myself included) often do exactly what you described, blaming dumb people, which is wrong in my opinion. "Dumb people" should be understood, educated and/or supported, not blamed.
How can you compare the Pocket thing with Facebook? The good kid messed up this time. And you can simply ignore it, don't have to use it. Yes like you can decide not to use Facebook, but then all your friends and family use it, or use Instagram of Whatsapp and force you to use it. That includes uploading your complete contact list two or three times.

Do you have to use Firefox because your family uses it? I don't think so.

How do those two compare?
That's fair, but Ansible culture is to do everything as sudo, and traditionally it was pretty painful to execute only portions of a playbook as the sudo. Though it looks like that's gotten better in more recent times: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/become.html

Most of your statements are addressed in it so hopefully it helps you clear the confusion.
I mostly agree, but there is some reasonable logic to encouraging home ownership, as it aligns incentives, albeit imperfectly. When people own property where they live, then a big chunk of their net worth is tied up in something whose value correlates with (capitalized) general quality of life, which will lead them to be better stewards of the area.
Careful with that advice. It might have been good for you, it might be good for a lot of depressive people, but definitely not for all. Before I turned twenty I met two people my age who took your advice and exercised until ambulances had to pick them up (literally). Whatever you do to counter your depression, have a trustworthy, knowledgeable aid at your side: a therapist.
Isn't the idea of VR to be immersive so that is seems like a large real world?
Yes, I was quite annoyed by them calling out, and seeming to try to shame, the advice of going for a run. Mental stuff can be pretty bad my way, and these days sticking to a good workout routine is doing wonders for keeping me grounded. Depressed people should try going for a run.
"An object in motion stays in motion" definitely fits here.

I 100% agree. But I want to highlight problem solving is so key to this.

Like most things in life there is no silver bullet. Just running / working out won't fix everything. But it's a good start so that it's not adding to the issues going on. And if you are getting good results you can make it the foundation.

That seems to me like little more than an appeal to tradition. I suppose the argument goes “if Buddhists didn't benefit from their mindfulness, Buddhism wouldn't have lasted so long” ? That hardly seems falsifiable because it relies on historical evolution of communities correlated to a one-parameter model of individuals. Other factors could play a bigger role in the correlation.
and it has more interesting weather :)
In the keynote, one of the developers said that they've done exactly this for some of the dev team. Specifically, they are using Visual Studio, in VR, as their primary development environment.

Could be hyperbole for marketing purposes, but even if so, I think we'll get there soon enough. They explicitly said that replacing monitors is one of their [long term] goals for VR.
Thanks! Unfortunately I can only add support for things I have access to (bank accounts and such) and I do plan on adding a few more.

To work around this I tried to make it as developer-friendly as I could so we'll see!
Just an hour ago I was on a call, helping someone else find a file she had just uploaded, but wasn't visible in the S3 Web Console. Because it doesn't bring back ALL files in the folder, just the current 300. And they aren't sorted, so the file she had just uploaded was 2 pages back from a lot of other files which were uploaded today. It's nonsensical.
And the most depressing thing about this is that people with depressions don't wanna hear that their solution is so simple as diet, exercises and lifestyle. Depression comes with existencial crisis and (ironically) excess of entitlement so people think their situation is different, is biological, pathological, spiritual...

We had a similar system. The problem wasn't in the classes filling up (though that happened too) but that the system was built for steady-state load and not peak load: if you weren't in and out within 10 seconds of registration starting, you were in for minutes of panic as the registration pages failed to load again and again while the classes you wanted were filled by those luckier than you.

Instead I made an autohotkey script to input my chosen course IDs and submit. Just pasting in a value, <TAB>, pasting in a value, <TAB>, etc.

All done in less time than even the savvy registrants who would copy/paste as fast as they could. An earlier iteration used a programmable keyboard macro: AHK wasn't on the lab computers for my first year.
At that GDP, also take away vaccines, antibiotics, refrigeration, sanitation...and you are living like them with high mortality. Almost every person living in a modern country is living better than all the kings, nobles, emperors, etc in all of history. There are still plenty of poor people who we should help, but "poor" is relative historically.

It's like asking whether color movies will replace black and white.

Depth literally adds another dimension. It's literally 2d to 3d. In the same way you wouldn't want to go from movies back to still images, or color movies to black and white. Why would you want to look at a flat image in front of you when you could have a device that can replicate that flat image OR show you a 3d model.
I feel like you're dehumanizing the people actually doing the work for you.
I automated applying for jobs a few years back. I wrote a scraper and a classifier that took a look at each job posting, determined if it required skills for technologies I wasn't familiar with, and if not, and it was also a strong enough candidate for requiring skills I'm strong with, it would send one of several appropriate resumes depending on which sort of job it was.
Ex-depressed people that got out of it with exercises are a better reference than this "studies". Even more when you compare with depressed people currently taking drugs.
