You can't claim that sleeping, eating, and exercising are "fixing" chemicals in the bain any more than people can claim chemical imbalance causes mental illness. There is no baseline for what normal chemical levels are.

I'm not forgetting. I'm not even saying that the PRC is within a light year of good. I'm saying that if the comparison is to pure capitalism then it's got even odds of being less brutal because _both_ are spectacularly brutal. That they manage to help people at times is entirely coincidental.

The PRC has black prison sites for political dissidents and the famine from the great leap forward. Capitalism has child slaves working cocoa farms or pharmaceutical companies giving aids tainted medicine to third world countries because it would net them a profit.

The noble savage is just a fictional trope. No one denies that people in past times had materially worse-off lives than we do today. But they probably had more freedom. In medieval times, you might have half of the year off for vacation: http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2013/08/29/why-a-medie.... You could largely do what you wanted, were not surveilled, and could live on your own as long as others around you weren't disturbed. The point isn't that it was a superior way of life, but it evokes a qualitative perspective on life. Would you rather live in perfect health for 100 years in prison, or as a diabetic paraplegic in the outside world for 40? What about 20? What about a prison that was full of your closest friends, versus a world of your enemies? Quality of life defies a mere "but healthcare, science, infrastructure etc. is better today!" metric that everyone on HN seems to stick to. There are profound cultural changes that we can't assess objectively. Culturally, emotionally, we may be worse off today. Our 60 years of wage slavery in windowless offices might seem unconscionable to a medieval peasant drinking mead all day by a stream with his friends, even if he ends up dying at 50.
I have some "invoicing" web apps (I suppose they'd be called "SaaS" now) I wrote in perl starting back in 2001-2002 that are still running. The users love them, they're fast, reliable, and stable.

I have always admired Larry Wall and learned a lot from reading his stuff but I never really did get along too well with the "perl community". I was a member of a few of their mailing list and they all seemed to love telling people who joined and asked a question that they were lazy and dumb and "RTFM" was used there more than anyplace I've seen on the web. They worked hard at chasing away anyone who tried to answer those newbie questions. I finally left them after years of seeing the trolls harass newbies without any rebuttal except mine.

I still use perl for setting up users and emailing and database chores but CPAN has a lot of old modules now that haven't been maintained in years and going through those can be a pain sometimes.

And I still like and use CGI.pm. The perl community loves to crap on it but it's still the easiest way there is to parse form data with Perl and a lot of times that's mainly what I need to do.
It's one of those things that, once it becomes a label, if it meets a certain critical-mass-like criteria, it will attract the very people that are incompatible with the ideas presented. ie. think for yourself.

Quoting from the article:
"millennials with no hope of buying real estate, much less retiring, without stringent saving tactics, as well as families who need to downsize because of lost jobs or divorce."

These are people living beyond their means because they've no concept of the possibility that the future will ever present a worse situation than the present. Borrow, borrow, borrow and damn the future. What are consequences?

"stringent savings strategies" seems to be mentioned almost as an acceptance of failure of your life rather than a requirement of society. Having to downsize due to losing a job or divorce? Minimalism isn't going to save you from that, and neither, necessarily is a stringent savings strategy. Do they not expect any negative effects from losing a job or getting a divorce? Who are these people?

It's great that more people are being exposed to alternatives to 'buy everything so I can photograph myself in front of my extravagance', as a few people may be able to change their lifestyles. But wait a couple of years for articles about 'the failure of minimalism' because it was too hard for the average person / family to cope with. Such is the current culture of entitlement - with not much hope of improvement under Trump, the embodiment of entitlement. But post-Trump, there could be millions of reality checks in the mail.
I'm referring to remote kernel exploits - things that would introduce a new attack vector. Say a bug in a say a network driver or protocol that would already be at ring0 - SELinux does not prevent such an attack. Something that would allow a new way in to a host other than the service in question. If you have ring0 you can just disable SELinux.

If you already broke into the service and can make syscalls, well, there's really not much gain from that under my architecture at least - you can still only access what's already in that one service.
See my other comment for the details, I believe now that the field was actually not set to null, the returned structure has a union which is documented to be able to be of different types. It's surely the type STRRET_CSTR that wasn't covered by Java, the API is then valid before and after the update, returning the structure with STRRET_CSTR and zeroes in the union is valid.

I always wished I was one of those people who loved working out. Some folks comment on how miserable they feel if they don't work out for a few days. I feel AWESOME if I get that much time free to relax and just enjoy myself and not feel obligated to work out :)

I bike commute and also work out before work every day, but I can't say it has a particularly large effect on my mood.

My darkest days were long before I drank; then again, adolescence is a particularly hard time anyway.

I also have a script to lock my screen every full hour for a break. That has worked less well, since I tend to be in the middle of something and log right back in to finish it "quickly".

Those are all implemented as messy Bash scripts that poll some commands and grep for keywords, but it gets the job done.

Hmmmm. The graphs are interesting, particularly the bar/restaurant line which seems to have been fairly flat until the online line flattened out, and then it had a big rise.

I wonder if that is because more people are actually meeting in bars, or because people are using social media of some sort and "meeting" in a bar/restaurant for the first time and putting that in the survey instead of "online".

I am in a entrepreneur support group with 6 other founders. We have a little health contest going to encourage physical activity. We also have a GroupMe (this group has been together for 6 years).

I used Zapier to create a GroupMe bot (webhooks) to watch for posts reporting activity and logs it to a google docs spreadsheet. It also watches for requests to see the current score and reports the score.

The whole thing is just GroupMe, Zapier (with about 10 lines of JavaScript as one of the steps),and a Google doc.

I find I'm best "in the zone" for development while listening to electro-house or deep house. The genre lends itself to minimal lyrics (some of what I listen to might be in a foreign language, but even that which is in English is usually very 'shallow' and repetitive). Basically lots of deep bass thumping along at a reasonably consistent pace with a 'light' melody on top :)

It's anecdotal, but I've found my cure for depression: it's called Stoicism. I hear it's been useful to people for a couple thousand years, and is pretty much 'confirmed' by modern cognitive psychology.

I experienced depression on and off for about 20 years, between 12ish and 34 (2016). Then shit really hit the fan, the perfect storm so to speak, and I was shattered to the core of my being and my values. Honestly it felt as though dying would pretty much be a non-event (although I'm not suicidal so it wasn't really an option, but survival instincts kicked in at some point and were all that prompted me to feed once in a while each week for a couple months; it took half a year before I even wanted to get better, to cope).

Then I read "The Obstacle Is The Way" by Ryan Holiday. This book pretty much changed my life. I guess it came at just the right time.

I underwent a sort of 'quantum change' as some psychologists call it: a profound, meaningful, lasting and massive change of my core personality and values, even thought processes and emotional responses. I am me, I mean I do recognize myself and so do my friends and family, but I am also a truly different being, it's like my biology has changed and my mind with it, or the other way around, idk. People confirm that I do look different, in the eyes, in what they feel around me. I certainly feel like my old self was flawed beyond salvation and has died on a psychological level. I feel like I salvaged as little as possible and proceeded on reinventing myself. It is still an ongoing process, although slowly stabilizing (it will be a year in December).

Overall I am now able to create from scratch all the joy and motivation I always longed for, to accept reality easily in ways that keep surprising me, and to remain positive (or neutral) in most circumstances. Nothing's perfect and that's good to me. I still have habits to master (dwelling on past circumstances that provoked this major episode last year), but it's night and day with what I used to be.

Considering what I went through before this change, and during it, I consider myself lucky, even blessed on some level (atheist here, with some scientific awe for existence and the cosmos).

Feel free to ask for more details and suggestions, I'd be happy to oblige, otherwise you know the book. Best of hope to everyone.
You can say the same thing about anti-depressants too, especially the part about it making thing MUCH WORSE. I lost a decade of my life before I realized they were just numbing me to my situation and allowing me to not deal with it. There is no right answer when it comes to depression and almost everything that works for someone will be counterproductive for someone else. Having been through it, the absolute wrong approach is to play it safe and be sure that you don't make it worse. We only have one life and I can't imagine anything worse then going through 80 years depressed. Better to risk making it worse, IMHO.
That would line up with the rest of our social development...

I'm not willing to categorically say those people were not suffering from major depression (who am I to judge), but it strikes me as the kind of fix that's not commonly going to help major depression, and to see it almost universally touted here as the cure-all is dismissive at best and counterproductive/condescending at worst. To me, it's not much better than saying "just smile more".

Thankfully it's not an issue for me anymore, but those "fixes" were total crap (for me) when it was.
Asia Dreams in Skyscrapers

Sceptical that this means that there were Muslim Vikings. Arabic script was commonly used throughout medieval Iberia as decoration, often without any meaningful words, just Arabic letters strung together for aesthetic effect. Wouldn’t surprise me if something similar was going on here, where Iranian weavers were simply mass producing cloth for export with Ali and Allah embroidered as decoration. Keep in mind that Viking runes can be found inscribed in the walls of the Hagia Sophia. That doesn’t mean that the Vikings were Christian (or Muslim); it means that our stereotypes about the Middle Ages are totally invented by nineteenth century historians with their own nationalist agendas that didn’t allow for a cosmopolitan, globalized medieval Europe.
I think they are missing an important detail.

Online dating doesn't simply connect you to "new" people. It connects you to them privately. It is a setting in which you and you alone need to judge this person and how suitable they are as a partner for you.

I grew up in the Deep South. * I attended public school. I had non-white classmates. I knew guys who were Black or Hispanic who were interested in me.

But, I had no path forward.

In a racist environment, just talking to someone of color in a flirty way will get significant social push back. You have to be willing and able to stand your ground in order to pursue the relationship at all. People don't want to deal with something like that at the curiosity stage. Its very existence helps kill relationships before they can begin. It is just too much drama and makes it too hard to navigate the relationship.

Online dating lets you talk to people without all that. It lets you say "Hi!" and flirt without deciding five minutes after you met them that standing down the entire world is a thing you are up for.

No one in their right mind is up for that just to have coffee. You commit to that at the marriage stage, not at the making eyes at each other stage. If you have to make that decision before you can even chat them up, 99 percent of the time the decision will be to not chat them up to begin with.

Edit: I will add that the privacy angle is likely a large factor in why online dating has been so popular for starting homosexual relationships.

* A long time ago. Hopefully, it's better now.

You/we ARE a part of nature. If 100% of people care about doing certain things (that they actually have control over) in a certain way, that's the same as nature doing it that way. When it's a smaller percentage, that's just that thing happening in different ways.
python3 seems to do much better than either of those for me when using an unbuffered write(1, ...) syscall (plus it prints the correct thing)

$ cat yes3.py
stdout = open(1, 'wb')
while True:
stdout.write(b'y\n')
$ python3 yes3.py | pv -r > /dev/null

$ cat yes2.py

stdout = os.fdopen(1, 'wb')
while True:
stdout.write('y\n')
$ python2 yes2.py | pv -r > /dev/null

I would desire the yes command to be as slow as possible while still performing its basic function of automatically confirming questions that come up during an installation.

This is because I clusterssh into 40 machines and hey I haven't formally accepted them into my known_hosts file yet so I type "yes" to acknowledge them, but whoops I had already accepted two of them so now they are spitting out the letter 'y' as fast as they possibly can and now I have to wait for all of that output to transfer over the wire onto my machine despite pressing ctrl+c a minute ago.

This will be true in almost any public school anywhere.
Empty files remind me of an episode where I worked. We were supposed to provide a set of files for a court case. But there was a missing zero byte file due to a glitch in processing. So just create one, right? NOPE. The client insisted we find and copy the original empty file from the original media.

Well, you'd want to make it a /bit/ more generic, surely? Like, "load this url and send a text to this number if the (page text | diff) matches this regexp"?

Even allow people to create presets that would then be added as a generic thing. You could use it for camping all sorts of intermittent online things (web site specials, online ticket pre-orders, etc.)
Does anyone look at this from an economic standpoint? I think this is just an (unfair) form of taxation for being famous. Someone or something became too famous. People want a "cut" of the fame (in this case, it was literally the cut, ha ha). It's interesting to think how we can redistribute this type of "wealth" among people. I can think of Twitter replies or blog trackbacks as a primitive way to achieve it, but what can the society/government do?

First off, I made no statement about promiscuity. So you're the only one talking about that. Are you sure you're replying to the correct person? Your entire judgement of my post has nothing to do with what I said.

The context was:

>The top percentage of men get the lions share of the dating options and presumably more frequent sex with no reason to commit to the ladies in question while lower tier men suffer disillusionment from their lack of options.

It is explicitly stated that more attractive men have 'no reason to commit'. This seems to be an incredibly sad statement about the possibility of having a connection with another person on levels other than sex.

edit: I don't get what's wrong with what I said here? Can someone explain.
You must miss a lot of meetings and appointments.
Minimalists™ are like certified scrum masters. Minimalism might actually be a decent idea (noting the difference between minimal and less than you have, no matter what), but when left in the hands of "trainers" and "gurus" it either turns into a cult, or it turns into a product.
Hey, I have a Sony. it supports being turned on and to the correct input by a Chromecast using HDMI-CEC. I think, like the other guy said, there may be a setting to enable it on your Samsung. I know someone with a Samsung that it works for (the turning on works for sure, not sure about the changing input and turning off). It may be called something different in your tv settings though... I'm sure you can google it. Good luck!
You just know it's because, if you just made a new zero-byte file, the opposition in the case would claim that you forged the file and that the evidence was then tainted. Stupid, but your goal here isn't to reproduce the file, it's to stop a stupid argument from convincing stupid people to make a stupid decision.
