I had major depression for a couple of years and here's how I eventually got out of it:
1) regular exercise. Start small, you're not supposed to break records. But it's very important to do it regularly. You can start with one exercise, like cycling or pushups, and then in later weeks or months add more once you feel you got the hang of it. Also, I think aerobic exercises on fresh air like cycling, jogging or even going for a walk work best.
2) Go for a walk pretty often. Just to see a changing landscape and not the same 4 walls all the time.
3) Friends. Meet them with some regularity. If you don't have, meet people over a hobby and you will eventually make some friends. Friendly faces are nice.
4) Music - especially new and nice - works VERY well for me, but then again I'm sensitive to music and some arts.
5) Herbal pills for depression - hypericum. Supposedly as good as many synthetic meds, but much fewer side effects. Note you want either pills, alcohol or oil extract. The substance that deals with depression and stress (hypericine?) is not water solluble. So common teas don't work. Watch out for photosensitivity (you might get burns or other skin problems from being exposed to sun).
6) Vitamin D, at least 2000IU a day.

Try these things. It really helps, especially once you're used to some exercise. Now I still have anxiety and low stress resistance, but I can act and get stuff accomplished. Also, people say getting a cat or dog is a big help too (I haven't tried it).

Anhedonia - lack of ability to feel pleasure - in my case comes largely from the habit of suppressing emotions. I'm working on it.

Also, I practice meditation (for stress, memory and concentration), 1-2x a day for 15 minutes. I'm not sure how much it helps, but I'll take every help I can get NOT to fall into this black pit again.
Android's "MVC" layer is a joke, and not a very funny one. An argument for React Native, at least as a replacement for native Android, is that it lets you circumvent the nightmare that is Google's Android SDK and toolchain. Javascript and React+Redux is, arguably, it's own special little nightmare too, but still better than the alternative, especially if used with TypeScript.
cute, but the speed is too slow. reminds me of dialup. I liked the typed effect but it could go a lot faster.
With respect to the last point: redux isn’t dying. I’d posit that most articles and blog posts written about front end technology are highly inaccurate marketing pieces designed to get clicks :)
From what I remember, the guy kinda nodded his head a bunch and said that these are the tough questions we need to be asking which is why we hire bright minds.

He also went on to say how employees are treated really well which was kinda misdirecting the conversation.

Another team I chatted with considered themselves the anti-Palantir which was pretty funny.

Palantir was honestly surprised I had even heard of them since apparently no one else had and this was at closing time.
Mind. Blown. Thank you both!
This made me think of the book "checklist manifesto" which argues that surgeons should be forced to follow a checklist to make sure they don't miss anything.

Part of the argument is that often the more junior members of them team know the surgeons are making mistakes, but there's no way for them to point this out without being bullied. Anectodes include the wrong leg being cut off while members of the medical team know it's the wrong one, but darent risk their career to mention it.

I'm not sure how this relates to your comment, except your line about other professions reminded me.
With respect, I don't think that was his complaint.

The problem is pretending to demonstrate by experiment something that involves abstractions to the real world.

It's the same thing with 'demonstrations' that a heavy object will fall at the same speed as a light object where inevitably its 'close enough,' but not actually true (they do in perfect vacuum, but not in a simple experiment).

This happens a lot in demonstrating science, because science is really messy. And even relatively simple physical phenomena we don't understand fully (a recent topical example is we don't properly understand why curling stones curl the way they do).

The problem is pretending the answer is simpler than it is. Which inevitably leads to motivated 'pseudo-experiments'.
Bach is one of my favorite composers if not my most favorite. However, as someone with a formal education in Western classical, it's always bothered me how heroic figures are worshipped in the tradition, often while ignoring other great artists. What I find much more interesting about Bach is the story of how he became famous as a composer, which as far as I know had a lot to do with the reputation and advocacy if his sons after his death. During his lifetime, he was known much more as a virtuosic organist.

Or perhaps you can build a decent application platform instead of torturing a very useful hyperlinked document platform into doing something it wasn’t built for.
Yes it is atypical. Have you tried looking through the github issues on the subject? There seem to be a number of possibilities, depending on your environment.
It is literally the opposite of naive. This is why people sit back and watch the world burn, because instead of helping us make it better people like you are out there attacking people like me.

I am on the right side of this, and most other fights, but you are killing me. When I am dead I hope you enjoy the hell that you will burn in.
This is going to sound awful because it is. But I want to articulate how important first impressions are because we all have biases.

>Obviously it will have less quality than a FLAC/CDDA original but not less than MP3 (unless you actually set the bitrate too low).

This is incorrect. Lossy-to-lossy transcodes always incur a quality loss. It is known
> If every piece of software should get an exception to the rule, we don't have a distribution anymore.

And from what i can tell, quite a bit of upstream would see that as a good thing. They just want to stuff their thing into a container and call it a day, distros be damned.

To me that is like going back to the DOS days of software, or even close to the present day of Windows software, where everything is dangling off in their own sub-dir with all their snowflake variants of dependencies.

Damn it, go back a few years and Microsoft go burned by this when they discovered that there was a vulnerability in the VC++ redistributable dlls. All they could do was issue updates for their own software, a tool for scanning the drive for vulnerable copies of the dlls, and a wish that customers would badger their software providers for updated versions of affected software.

Management really shouldn't even be participating in any of the scrum meetings other than the sprint review. All of the other meetings are supposed to be just for the team itself.
For me that's the equivalent of disliking Muddy Waters or the Rolling Stones but rocking to Air Supply or Foreigner :-)
They look more and more like a consulting firm each day. My previous employer spent £40m with them, only to get nowhere close to the expected project deliverables. We did get a nice looking dashboard though...
Well time should better be spent working on another document language.

I'm curious what the alternative to HTML/CSS would be. If such a new language could be made more readable for humans, just like json and yaml are more readable than XML. Maybe even some stylized markdown or textile might offer a partial solution.

I guess this would not incur such a big cost, since HTTP is still fine. I mean the elephant in the room is that HTML was never designed for web applications in mind, yet you cannot deny that smartphone browsers have a hard time dealing with html web apps, for the simple reason that it's a nightmare to build and run, which is why android apps have to be made.

I guess what I'm saying makes sense, I'm not sure if I'm throwing a pave in the pond... But those things are the reasons I prefer working with languages like C++ instead of HTML.

Indeed. In theory we all love bitcoin, but in practice we started to hate it once the investors came, started to speculate with it and destroy our planet with absurd energy consumptions. Feels like the Paperclip maximizer gone mad.

I think you simply have to borrow money, or pay of debts with inflation. From what I've read the much maligned inflation policy of the weimar republic was actually fairly successful, despite the imagery of people buying bread with buckets of money.

Greece could not do this because they were in the Euro area, and had not control over their own money. It seems Iceland which controlled their own currency handled the economic problems much better. Although it is hard to compare as Iceland is a pretty well run country, while Greece struggles with basic stuff like simply collecting taxes.

The best is of course to have the discipline to save a lot of money in good years to spend in bad years. For my native Norway this was the situation which is why we basically didn't feel the 2008 downturn at all. We had save a lot of oil money over many years and just spent more of it.

The US too weathered the storm not too badly through the expansionary policies of Obama. While the austerity measures in Europe totally screwed up several economies.

How much does it cost to launch 4 of these 1/4 u satellites? Wikipedia says $100k per cubesat, other sources say a little less. Just think, that's within the reach of thousands of us software engineers - at least a few launches. It's like one year's mortgage payment in the bay area (I kid a little). But regardless, that's incredible! it could be your retirement hobby - you pay someone for a 'standard' cubestate, you program it, you put some cameras and other sensors on it, you will pass over anything in the world, your own photos of area 51 or whatever. Actually, would it be legal to take your own photos from space? Maybe to work around this issue you'd have to set up an llc in mexico or the bahamas. Still, I have to keep reminding myself, someone who was a young teenage when cosmos came out, I am living in the world of tomorrow!
I'm pretty sure you are reading a lot more into the replies than anyone intended. Your reply to me has a lot of nuance that wasn't in your original comment, where all you said was:

> What about the fact that everyone in the world who can receive your signal will hear and understand what you're saying?

The replies to that comment merely pointed out that this is how amateur radio works, that it is by design public communication. I don't see any indication that anyone interpreted your comment to mean "Ham radio utterly sucks, I hate it, and it needs to stop existing."

A long time ago I took a course in effective communication. I don't think of myself as a great communicator, and I don't remember much of the course. But one thing stuck in my mind: If you feel that people are failing to understand what you are trying to say, don't blame them for misunderstanding you. Instead, look to see how you can communicate more clearly so you will not be misunderstood.

I think profits sourced from direct labor are clearly close to wages.

It's important to remember that in places like the UK, there are very different ways to offer that labour. In particular, as an employee, you have considerably more protection and are entitled to considerably more in other benefits than a freelancer or contractor who operates independently.

As a reference point, you might expect an independent professional to charge roughly 150-200% of the equivalent salaried position in fees to compensate for the uncertainty, loss of benefits, overheads and other downsides that an employer takes care of for its employees. (This is of course ignoring the whole issue of now dealing with clients on a B2B basis instead of an employer-employee relationship, and therefore potentially pricing according to value rather than time, as often discussed elsewhere on HN.)

Treating the income from dividends as if it were equivalent to a salary just means that either it's not cost-effective to go independent or clients have to bear the extra cost. Either way, someone is paying the difference if the work is still getting done at all, and like any activity that is taxed, that is an economic barrier that is not necessarily helpful if you're trying to promote a business environment where there is a flexible supply of labour through freelancers and where new businesses can start and grow.
Decoding an MP3 and then encoding the data to OPUS of course incurs generational loss and will sound worse than the original MP3. You should encode from the original or losslessly compressed data.

FWIW, here's an anecdote from someone with an auto-immune disorder. I've had MS (multiple sclerosis) for 20 years. In that time, I've lived in 7 different climates for a year or longer each. I didn't get my first symptoms until I moved to northern Europe during the winter. The times that I've had no disease progression, I was closer to the equator. For example, I had no issues at all in the 5 years I lived in central Texas. The times I've had disease progression, I've been further north (above the 37th parallel). Since I'm currently living in the 47th parallel, I take 10,000 I.U. of Vitamin D a day. The one time I've had a serious increase in disease activity while living here, I tried taking a year off the Vitamin D supplements because I thought my medication was sufficient.

The same kind of loss as caused by using cheap audio cables instead of golden cables perhaps... (sarcasm)

It would make sense to speak about quality loss if it was about FLAC originals but not if the originals are already MP3. You can't save what is not there.
> Goes to show we definitely need some good studies examining long-term Vitamin D intake.

Goes to show that the recommended level of it are about right.

Yes, land subsidies are a key engine. I'm aware of the moral problems that creates. But if I assume that within democracies a tendency persists to have some sort of social welfare, then I think it is more constructive to engage in how to organize this redistribution. Supporting co-ops seems like a very lean and non-harmful way (compared to government housing or state ordered quotas on free enterprises).
I never understood why Apple always hides functionality beneath undiscoverable gestures.

Especially on iOS where once I had a friend complain that they cannot see the time that a message was sent or received. I had to show them to hold and swipe so they can see the hidden column of times.

I guess they don’t want to clutter up at the interface with things like labels and options.

The isoated particles will, according to accepted physics, do everything that MV says we are doing. The discrete branches are a textbook illustration; it's really more of a continuous thing. There's still only one wavefunction, it just behaves in a way that can be compared to branching.

In a nutshell the idea of multiverse is that the entire universe evolves as an isolated system, without any wavefunction collapse.

The amount of negativity in this thread is crazy. With Microsoft pushing VR & AR right into the operating system, and headsets < $300 becoming commonplace, not to mention the iPhone X being built around the AR tech, you'd think people might get the hint that things have changed.

While we're onto German, I always thought that eventually is the most confusing English word for a German speaker; an evil twin, so to speak.

While the German eventuell means possibly, the English word means that something will happen definitely, but at a later, unspecified time.

This can be confusing even to people who are well versed in both languages.

No matter what distro I use, I end up falling back on the Arch wiki and Gentoo wiki.

> without decent mobile support or multi-master syncing, it's hard to adopt it as my main productivity tool.

I find that for a true productivity tool, I'm fine relying on my desktop & laptop. I'm actually dialling back what I use my phone for, simply because I can't trust either of the major mobile OSes to respect me & my privacy. It would be awesome to have all of org available on a phone though; you're not wrong at all there.

I would kill for an emacs which makes sense on mobile, but I've not given enough thought to it to imagine what would make sense. Emacs without the key chords would be still powerful but also odd.
I never claimed systemd is the only init that doesn't use shell scripts.

I simply gave an example of how it's an improvement over e.g. sysvinit.
The "multiverse" would be one big wavefunction (quite physical), and each "universe" would be a partition of the wavefunction in phase space. In this sense "multiverse" and "universe" would just be names for different parts of the wavefunction, like "The Rocky Mountains," and "Kona," would be names for features on a topo map.
Its stupid to think these companies are anything less than evil. Look at Palantir's mission statement. gawd. lol.
I don't have side by side comparison, but I'm adept at command line and I still use Magit even when I have command line or other IDE available.

Magit is my go to tool, I only use command line to quickly switch branches sometimes or for non-standard things.

Things I love about Magit:

- CHUNKING .. staging chunks or unstaging chunks is so easy (my favorite feature)

- General overview of information

- diffs, rebases, etc

- It's really fast when you learn the key chords

Other thing I use for Git:

- Command line (if I'm in command line and need to change a branch, might as well do it there)

- Tig (Log is fine in Magit too, just old habbits)
> The problem is pretending to demonstrate by experiment something that involves abstractions to the real world.

Not quite. My complaint is pretending that the result of an experiment was something other than what it clearly was and saying, implicitly, "despite the fact that you could plainly see that the result of this experiment was NOT what I said it would be, you should nonetheless believe what I tell you about the laws of physics because I'm the professor and you are the student and I know what's what and you don't. Pay no attention to the actual outcome of the experiment that you saw with your own eyes and instead trust my authoritah."

> This happens a lot in demonstrating science, because science is really messy.

That's no excuse here IMO. In this case the demo was simply very poorly designed. It's just not that hard to construct a friction and moment-of-inertia demo that actually shows what it is intended to show.
>between mothers of Somali origin with or without a child with autism

"increasing chances" and "necessarily leading to" are 2 different things. Consider for example smoking and cancer - among people who smoke the same amount of tobacco some will get cancer, some will not. That doesn't falsify the fact that smoking increases the chances of the cancer.

You link is actually enough here. From your link :

"Results:  Between 12 and 17 mothers from the different groups accepted to participate, both groups of mothers of Somali origin had significantly lower values of 25-hydroxyvitamin D compared with Swedish mothers. "

So, i'm not sure what of the 2 well established facts you are arguing against :

1. Somalis in Sweden have very low D

2. Somali children born in Sweden have much higher autism rate.

Of course correlation isn't necessarily causation, yet the correlation (both - between populations as well as inside the Somali mothers population) is clearly stated in your link (have you read it yourself?) :

"Conclusion:  Our findings of low vitamin D levels in Somali women entail considerable consequences in a public health perspective. The observed tendency, i.e. the lowest values in mothers of Somali origin with a child with autism was in the predicted direction, supporting the need for further research of vitamin D levels in larger samples of Somali mothers of children with and without autism."
The extra load doesn't seem that much. It's a few more subscribers, but the data rates should be quite low. And if you have a swarm of drones, you could use a couple as hotspots for the others.
I wanted to solve this very problem, and use !iTunes to play audio files on the Mac.

First, I went with VLC. It's quite capable.

It turns out there's a native Mac app called 'afplay' and it'll do the trick as well. "afplay foo.mp3" and it'll play that MP3. No frills, no controls. Just plays the file.

I would cd to a directory with the songs I wanted to play, and use a for loop to play them all.
