I automated a lot of my eBay trawling.

Created an app that does repeatable searches which scrapes eBay to download all the results - filters out stuff from a kill word list, filters out items from yesterday's list and a bunch of other things.

Maybe I'm the weird one here, but I use everything I buy. The only time something I own goes unused is when somebody else buys it for me.

Right now I'm looking to move about 700km. Sure, what little I own is a bit of trouble to move, but it is almost all useful. I'm at the point where having less stuff would mean doing fewer things.

It's a fair question. The mathematician Ted Kaczynski proposed depression to be largely a modern construct (emphasis mine):

> Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society. It is well known that the rate of clinical depression had been greatly increasing in recent decades. We believe that this is due to disruption of the power process, as explained in paragraphs 59-76. But even if we are wrong, the increasing rate of depression is certainly the result of SOME conditions that exist in today's society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable. (Yes, we know that depression is often of purely genetic origin. We are referring here to those cases in which environment plays the predominant role.)

If the population count of your species drops below the sustainable level in your immediate vicinity (within a reasonable distance for members of the species to meet & mate) then that pocket of individuals dies out. And then there's genetic diversity - the number I have heard quoted for humans is 40,000.

Which is how many people Elon Musk & Jeff Bezos would have to get to Mars or the Moon to create a genetically stable population.

Why should it be one? Wouldn't you pay less to be in a functional building instead? I know that choice means that SF will never be a Chicago, but that ship has long sailed, no?
Before I left San Francisco for Asia, I had a studio apartment completely packed with stuff -- three giant suitcases full of clothes, an entire standing bookshelf full of books that I never read, IKEA furniture, and tons of electronics junk that I just never used (Xbox 360, MS Surface Tablet, old PC laptops).

I threw it all away. I must have thrown away $10,000 worth of stuff (well, mostly sold, recycled, gave away, and/or put in Schrodinger's "storage").

My digital footprint is much larger than the physical junk that I had. Now all of my belongings fit into one suitcase.

It was a very relaxing feeling getting rid of all of that junk. I haven't missed any of it.

It's not some hidden agenda that these Minimalists are pushing that they WANT you to be happy with less even though you actually are happier when you have more; I've found that I actually _am_ happier with less (after adopting the right mindset). In massively consumerist cities like SF, there is a ton of social pressure to show off that you have more trendy things than all of your neighbors and to drive that German car, etc. and you just have to use your willpower to not succumb to that pressure.
that's interesting. i open and close the mac slack app 5 times to defrost my lunch.
We live in the far western Chicago suburbs. When we moved here we got our water from a community well (operated by our town.) The water was very hard and in addition had a lot of sulfur and iron. (A water heater would change the sulfur compounds so they smelled like rotten eggs.) IIRC the hardness was about 450 ppm. I installed an ion exchange water softener that fed the hot water heater and cold water to the laundry. We continued to drink hard water and use it for cooking.

Some years later we were switched to a supply that was piped from Lake Michigan. That was about 135 ppm hardness and did not have the sulfur and iron content. Didn't need the water softener any more but we still use a water filter pitcher to remove chlorine and bad flavors from the water. (The filtering activity of zebra mussels clarified Lake Michigan and allowed algae to grow at the depths where the water intakes were located. The algae left a musty taste in the water at times of the year when it flourished.)

Even in the same location, water chemistry can vary a lot.

For better comparison with my numbers, I ran your scripts on my machine:

$ python3 yes3.py | pv -r > /dev/null
[18.4MiB/s]
$ python2 yes2.py | pv -r > /dev/null
[10.2MiB/s]

In both cases, a 4KiB buffer is used by python. That's still way slower than the equivalent rust code with a 4KiB buffer (use BufWriter::with_capacity(4096, stdout.lock()) instead of BufWriter::new(stdout.lock())).
Sure, and functions are just sugar over goto's.
Side project checklist?

https://www.sideprojectchecklist.com/marketing-checklist/
Are you asking about using RX itself? You don't have to maintain any state, its declarative. You could use this on the backend. Its not a queue or a messaging system. Imagine you had to implement a triple click event. RX would be useful for that. Its a way to say "give me all click events that occur within X milliseconds of each other". Or a way to say give me all the mouse drag events that happened after a mouse down but before a mouse up.

Sure you can do it with imperative programming, without RX. You can also filter an array with a for loop instead of using .filter(), but the latter is often more desirable. Just like the array .filter() method, you have to stop & learn something you already maybe know how to do with a loop, but the benefit is writing less code to do it. Heck you don't even need the loop, you could use goto statements to filter an array.... but there are reasons to work at higher abstraction levels.

Another example is an auto-complete, traditionally each key up event / input event would trigger an ajax request, and requests may finish out of order causing race conditions. RXJS has a way (switchMap I think) to declaratively say "give me the results in the correct order", another operator declaratively says only give me the latest event.

This is not new in any way, big companies like Microsoft & Apple have been doing reactive functional programming since like the 70s, I think. Its just new to Javascript is all. Just like other programming paradigms, its also not the answer for everything, just another tool to use. I believe in Angular 4, all http requests return observable now. Vue.js (v3) will also switch from object.defineProperty to observable pattern. GraphQL subscriptions / Apollo Client uses observables....

An observable is like a promise, but nothing executes until you call .subscribe(), so they are lazy. You can describe what will happen in response to an input event, such as making an ajax request, without actually kicking off any ajax requests until those events happen. This isn't possible with a promise, which starts its async action as soon as its defined.

They can be cancelled before you call .subscribe(), and they are multi-valued. They can finish after emitting multiple values, or even a single value. Or they could finish without emitting any values (think like a promise, but with cancellation)

Also like a promise, it makes composing callback based code simpler.

In the auto-complete example, you can think of the program like a stream. Input events get turned into ajax requests which get turned into stuff displayed on the screen. Its a stream, and RXJS is how you setup the plumbing. Then data flows through that stream at run-time, without having to maintain any state. For a lot of use cases, this will result in more confusing code than doing it imperative. For other use cases, it will eliminate a lot of race conditions & create succinct easy to debug code. Its a trade off. The trade off is a higher learning curve, but the benefit is more declarative async code.

Very much agreed on the exercise.

I've been writing an article in the past few days that explain why movement is so critical to fighting depression.

Still, this author's experience resonates with me in the sense that I get that taking drugs is a way to fix the depression problem.

When depression is that crippling and intense, it just doesn't seem like any one thing can help. Like you said, it's baby steps, and if drugs and therapy are on the menu along with exercise and nutrition, then all the better.

At some point, I'll be exploring the really hard causes of depression, those that come from society's own anguish.

In any case, being personally fit will add immeasurably to your mental fortitude, and events that would otherwise bowl you over won't.

So, I've recently been evaluating AWX for my workplace. Thus, making sure it's secure is definitely important to me.

That said, I'm having a hard time seeing how a compromised browser access AWX could give anyone full access to everything. Attackers could effect anything a playbook has access to, but considering how varied playbooks are, it would be really hard to guess the right values to pass into a job to get what you want.

Can someone elaborate on how an attacker could do real damage using a browser based attack?
What has this got to do with YC?

You don't need to take a 7% investment from YC to learn from other founders management styles. You could learn the same lessons by having a mentor or a good network of advisors. The study does not investigate or draw any conclusions about YC or about the scale of the investments they make in companies.

Seems like you put YC in the title as clickbait. Not cool man. Not cool.

Except that when you take into account the externalities, mass transit pays for itself, while suburbs don't.

So mass transit should be partially publicly-funded. Suburbs should not.

Mass transit reduces congestion, reduces land usage, reduces environmental damage, reduces poverty, reduces pollution, increases quality of life and is usable by the vast majority of the population.

Suburbia infrastructure only serves those living in suburbs and has the opposite effect of each metric listed above.
> even though we all have bigger/high-res screens with more real estate than ever.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but is this perhaps the reason why this is happening? If we have so much more space, we've got room for extra big bars. If we get higher resolutions, smaller fonts are (possibly) harder to read, so we make them bigger.

Maybe I'm just making stuff up, though.

Yes, take a look at the Oculus Santa Cruz. It's still in development, but it has I think 4 very wide angle global shutter cameras on it.

I spent several years paralyzed with depression, it got to the point that all I could do was stare at the ceiling - wasn't even worth the effort to commit suicide I might as well just wait until I die.

Self destruction is a natural thing, a part of the growing process, you just have to channel it somewhere. Some do tattoos or something, I like yoga, but whatever works I guess.

What I've started to realize is that we hold on to our ego with all our might until nothing else is left. However, embracing new perspectives is a prerequisite to growth and whether you do that through religion, drugs, therapy or meditation the fact is when you're suicidal you desperately need a new perspective.

Letting go of your past self to become the next version is a metaphorical death and sometimes it can be confused with the desire for actual death. This is what I mean by channeling the self destruction, maybe you do it in a way that leaves a scar so you can be reminded of your older self. That may be necessary if you've been completely conquered by your ego.. but for most 'normal' people it's enough to "take action" so to speak and start behaving differently (exercise, food, socializing, etc.)

Just never ever ever let yourself feel self pity. Self pity is a feedback loop and the worst thing you can do to yourself, if you can just stop that one thing you will eventually fix things on your own.

Edit: That first step getting out of depression is difficult, you may need a nudge but be sure not to let yourself go back there!! You need to keep "self destructing" constructively or you will sink again, there is no cure-all that lasts forever. You need to keep living cause the living never give up - that choice isn't going anywhere, it's called death.
That doesn't refute my point; most French Canadians can also speak English, and yet French Canadian retains its own distinct subculture, so distinct that Quebec has repeatedly voted to secede from Canada. Language is merely one very obvious indicator of cultural heterogeneity, and the point remains that China is not nearly as culturally unified as the typical Westerner understands (which should not be so hard to believe; it's a country with a freaking billion people!).

I used to do the same with my DSL connection. I noticed that the connection would drop or degrade when it rained sometimes. I started scraping the modem's status page with curl (the status page didn't require logging in), and graphing the SNR and data rates with gnuplot. Then I added temperature and precipitation data scraped from Weather Underground with a Python script to a separate CSV file.

I did confirm that the SNR varied with temperature, with both daily and long-term cycles, assuming from thermal expansion/contraction in the lines and connections. I also observed dropouts when it rained.

The strangest thing was that there was also a hard 12-hour cycle: every morning and evening, at the same times, the SNR would suddenly drop (in the morning) and go up (in the evening) by several dB. I never figured out what it was, but I always guessed it was some equipment turning on or off that caused interference on the line.

One of the coolest parts actually was simply using GNU `date` to parse dates in natural language, so I could run something like `plotmodem 2 months ago to 1 month ago` to graph the data from the previous month, or `plotmodem 2 weeks` to see the last 2 weeks of data. I used `date` to convert natural-language dates to a standard format which I then parsed out of the CSV files with grep.
While I did not mention this in that original contribution, here is a 200 page essay I wrote in 2008 on re-envisioning another university I attended as a post-scarcity institution -- hopefully one which countered depression and other pathologies with positive psychology, healthy action, and hope:
"Post-Scarcity Princeton, or, Reading between the lines of PAW for prospective Princeton students, or, the Health Risks of Heart Disease"
http://pdfernhout.net/reading-between-the-lines.html

From the introduction: "With Princeton-praising articles titled "Jumping From the Ivory Tower", it seems like PAW [Princeton Alumni Weekly] is not helping answer these deep questions. If anything, PAW is helping bury them under inappropriate humor. This essay is not intended in any way to condone violence or the abdication of personal responsibility. But it is intended to help understand some of these issues of suicide and alienation in a university context, and to make suggestions for improvements to the social part of these issues. It even tries to use humor in relation to suicide and morbid themes a bit more appropriately (satirically about PU in this case, discussing options like its voluntary peaceful self-dissolution to help a billion poor children get an education, or its metaphorical death and rebirth as an agent of global economic transcendence to a post-scarcity society of abundance for all). It is always easier to destroy than to create, so this essay includes some specific suggestions for improving the situation at Princeton University, which is a mythologically-troubled institution (even as it is filled with many wonderful and caring people)."

One issue I explore is that the virtues of elitism, competition, and excellence that Princeton University celebrates all have shadow sides like alienation, destructiveness, and perfectionism which can lead to depression, anxiety, and a host of other illnesses from extremism (including heart disease possibly from an extreme fat-free diet which killed a classmate at an early age), such as when I wrote: "I can also hope that many of these issues at PU continue to slowly change. There is some hopeful news now and then in PAW (like more profiles of alternative alumni careers), even as the deep issues about "elitism" (alienation?), "competition" (destructiveness?), and "excellence" (dissatisfaction? perfectionism? excessive self-criticism?) usually remain unspoken."
