If you're seeing a mental health professional it's an interesting conversation to talk about labels for illness, and how people ideate around them. If this label doesn't work for you, you don't have to wear it.

If you aren't seeing a mental health professional, given the stresses in your life, it's worth at least thinking about. I value time spent talking to somebody dispassionate, but interested in my mental welfare for a number of reasons. It only has upsides, as far as I am concerned.
It doesn't help that Windows /never/ (still hasn't) developed an actual standard library abstraction of what the filesystem is. In the Unix world your standard library either handles all supported filesystems for you, or more often, just provides a working abstraction of that via the kernel's own VFS abstraction of the supported filesystems.

Literally, in the UNIX/POSIX world there is exactly one way to open a file for a normal application, irrespective of the storage backing for that file and what filesystem might contain it.

(IIRC, it's been a while) On Windows the closest a programmer can get to this is opening up a file via calls specific to NTFS (since it's now the predominant filesystem), FAT (most flash drives), eXFAT (other flash drives), ISO9660(etc)/UDF for optical media, or something else for SMB/CIFS mounts.

For many years I've thought MS should just make a VFS that presents everything as (virtually) NTFS, and use that as the standard library abstraction.

Which of course has very little relation to actually tagging/organizing/search/recall files in a more human way. The biggest hurdle there is probably getting humans to tag/file things correctly and verbosely enough. MOST humans simply can't do a good job at this. For at least 60%, maybe as high as 80 or 90% of the population, it is /literally/ beyond their technical capability to do a good job (at least without a lot of help).

That can work for small communities, but you wouldn't ever be able to accomplish large scale tasks with that limited scale of organization. And not just big buildings and bridges (which one could argue are unnecessary), but projects like research in medicine and agriculture which benefit everyone, but require a large centralization of resources, leadership, and lots of time to create. That doesn't seem like something that could emerge from a anarchist society.
Attn. vaporware naysayers: Some smart people think this is worth pursuing. Miguel Cepero has been doing this forever with Voxel Farm. Sony almost made an Everquest with it. John Carmack once believed a future id engine would be voxel-based. It hasn't been proven yet with a big hit, but there is probably something here worth noting.

There are a number of individuals who will downvote meta comments like this. I, for example, almost always blindly downvote any comment complaining about down votes. The reason is usually fairly simple: it's usually not a worthwhile discussion and off-topic, and I want to strongly discourage that sort of behavior. If you don't think something should be on HN, flag it and leave it at that.
this is a gross misrepresentation of quite a well defined school of thought.
> If you go back and try to clean up your account, do it multiple times. Keep doing it until Facebook can't find anything more to show you. I assume this is a technical optimization, but it means that there is no reliable to see everything you've posted (from the web UI).

SF's street environment is unlike any other city I've ever visited. It's like a quantum superposition of dangerous ghetto and unattainably expensive luxury enclave.
His opinion "I wonder why the EU is an afterthought when you need to spend millions on compliance for every new feature" is not backed up by any facts.
If he had said that meeting the legal requirements in 28 different independent and sovereign countries adds too much cost then he would be correct.

Remember the EU Single Market and Custom Union does not cover every aspect of commerce and industry across all 28 member states.

Having said that, the Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) which applies to Stripe, will remove any remaining barriers and costs that still exist between member states when applied to the provision of electronic payments. If one was to add in the eIDAS directive then meeting compliance for identity, fraud, etc will soon be irrelevant.
Is not a major part of the reason for the high SF salaries because of the high cost of living? As much as I hate to say it, I might want a SF salary, but unless I'm paying a SF-level of rent, a SF-level salary's probably going to be harder to justify.

You'd be relying on undefined behavior by the ECMAScript spec, but sure. Whether it works is implementation dependent, and you'd have no grounds for complaint if it changed at any time.

Playing around with it in Chrome 65.0.*...

const buffer = new ArrayBuffer(12);
const uint8s = new Uint8Array(buffer);
const floats = new Float32Array(buffer);

floats[0] = NaN, floats[1] = NaN; //127.192.0.0, 127.192.0.0, 0.0.0.0
uint8s[0] = 104, uint8s[1] = 105; //127.192.104.105, 127.192.0.0, 0.0.0.0
floats[2] = floats[0] + floats[1]; //127.192.104.105, 127.192.0.0, 127.192.104.105

console.log(String.fromCharCode(uint8s[8]) + String.fromCharCode(uint8s[9]));
I think this is fundamentally NOT how humans remembers things - I think we are masters in "geospatial" memory compared to abstract unrelated concepts, and "geospatial" memory is probably organised in hierarchies.

Worse, it's next to impossible to efficiently explore a large tag-cloud compared to a hierarchical structure, which means it's much harder to learn about things organised in a tag-cloud compared to hierarchical tree, or a graph that is mostly tree-like.

As an example; it totally breaks the xkcd techsupport cheat sheet - you end up in the "click one at random" branch basically all the time. https://xkcd.com/627/

Obviously, tagging things is good too, but file systems and computers should emphasise the tree (a better one than the Windows file strucutre though)- rather than inventing a confusing cloud/fog of unrelated things.
On a typewriter from around the time of the first Macs, the return key normally moves back to the beginning and moves down a line, so that's probably why they picked it. They also called the key "return" rather than "enter."
Because there's no market. For physical transactioms EMV does everything they do, and in a more convenient package. For online transactions, they're not more convenient than the incumbents.

Small nimble companies will have a (relatively) easy time supporting GDPR. I work at a small european tech company with lots of personal information.

Sure, there is some hassle but we’ll be able to adjust with a few weeks of work. Larger companies with more legacy stuff will have a harder time.

Also, the law is easy to read and quite sensible. Plus it’s great for consumers!
There are now algorithms for screen space reflections and screen space shadows, so perhaps that is what they are using.

What makes you think math papers wouldn’t benefit from having interactive bits in the middle? Obviously isn’t relevant for all math papers, but often would be extremely helpful. I read a lot of technical papers, and it is quite frequent that I will need to spend an hour or two decoding some formal mathematical statements whose basic idea/intuition could be more clearly conveyed pictorially in a few minutes.

Of course, making interactive diagrams often takes dramatically more work than sketching pictures with a pen (or just writing down equations), and mathematicians are not typically trained to do it, so it would be an uphill slog for many. But I would love it if there was more funding/prestige/etc. available for mathematicians to make their papers more accessible by adding better visuals.
I expect training & testing to make use of emulators & ROMs - wouldn't Sega potentially have a problem with this or is it considered fair use?

Any luck if we weren't quite running test charges yet? Just wanted to use the subscription abilities.
Fair enough.

I failed to understand your stance from your reply to cgore. I took your response to be "agreeing while pulling back a bit on cgore's position.

I am interested in your thoughts on how to address "taking money from people by force of law (gunpoint)" You pointed out the parallel between cgore's point the BI is no different than rent on land.

It appears you're against inflationary policies and pouring gas (BI) onto the situation adds to it (unless money is taken out of supply via taxes, however the symptom of inflation is still likely to appear: an overall increase in prices.). Inflation of prices is a symptom of inflation of the money supply. But an overall increase in prices does not necessarily mean there is inflation (of the money supply).

I am also interested in your thoughts on how should we pay for the civilized framework (government) that sorts out disputes?
I remember being shocked at walking down Kendall and seeing the cancer research building named the "Koch Institute".

How commonly accepted of a best practice is it to only shadow delete items in a DB. Will GDPR in Europe stop this? As a US user, I always fear that the internet is 100% written in ink. Either because of some caching mechanism, archiving protocol, or general reluctance to delete.

Hey Dictum - we're free for non-basic usage, basic usage, and everything in-between. I explained a lot of why this is the case in the blog post link below (when we went all in for free), but it really comes down to the following:

PHILOSOPHICAL
1. In software (and the subscription economy) we're moving away from function based pricing to outcome based pricing. Putting this simply in the context of analytics/reporting means that if I just take your data and put it into a bunch of graphs, it's helpful, but not valuable, even if they are the right graphs (and most of the time they aren't the right graphs, at least in most BI/analytics products).

2. Based on this, we believe in outcome based pricing. We make money by selling products like Retain, Price Intelligently, etc. that all have a specific number we can point to (in your free ProfitWell account :)) that we helped move in the right direction. For some of these products we then only perfectly charge based on our performance. Others where we can't measure this precisely, we still price on a value metric axis.

ANALYTICAL
1. Metrics/analytics are a terrible business from a willingness to pay and unit economics perspective. People don't really appreciate how much work goes into 100% accuracy (that's our thing compared to our competitors fwiw). It took years to be perfect and even now we're still finding edge cases of edge cases. Multiply this by the number of billing systems and it takes a lot of work to support this free product.

Here's the thing though - back to that lack of appreciation - when measuring the willingness to pay for analytics/metrics, people just aren't willing to pay that much. We measured this well ahead of going all in on free and found that our unit economics, especially in a market that's weak in number of logos (subscription market is much smaller than people think). As a result, most BI/analytics companies go up market. We're upmarket and do have an enterprise plan for all the fun enterprise fixings people need, but we don't want to waste massive amounts of CAC fighting for $50/month or even $150/month. Creating a phenomenal user experience (we're not there yet) is so much valuable. Plus, we're able to show our customers they have a problem that we can then sell an add-on for.

Long story short, this business and space requires a scalpel, not a sledgehammer for growth. Hope that's helpful. Always up for answering questions.

Here's the blog post we wrote up with some of the data, too: https://www.profitwell.com/blog/why-we-released-a-better-pro...
Well, this is a thing about which local newspapers write, whom present Nurali as "an esteemed 20-years-old property magnate super duper smart wunder kinder", heck, even his own Instagram him posing in front and in that building.

There is no use for me in anonymity here. Dozens of people here and in YC known me in person. Even if I were to say that under a different acc, who I am would be instantly clear.

You see, their believe in Western politicians and bureaucrats being their playthings is so strong, that they don't even mind bragging of their London estates in the public. Heck, one of the biggest London and NYC property owner Avramovich literally said on live TV "yes, I killed that guy, what will you do?", and his London mansion still stand inviolable to UK law enforcement; UK police have not lifted a finger to do anything about him even after that.
How many blockchains aren't using proof of work? There are large mining operations everywhere for various cryptocurrencies (the largest most popular ones!) taking large amounts of power and greatly contributing to climate change.

The graphics card shortages proves my point here.
I added basic bitcoin functionality to our store a few years back. About 1% of customers chose it, and nobody really paid attention to it.

Then, payments would just stop getting through unless customers were willing to spend $40 (on a $60 purchase). That ended our little experiment. I couldn't care less about credit card companies' unwillingness to deal in child porn and Nazi propaganda. For us, they simply work.

The decentralised nature of Bitcoin has also been proven to be mythological anyway. You can't use it (or any other cryptocurrency) without access to centralised services for exchange and other services. And those companies will adopt the same policies as CC companies and banks as they grow larger, professionalize, and draw scrutiny.

The only positive was the small fortune that had accrued in the meantime. The earliest orders had exchange rates of around $100:1BC. We didn't care about it December or so, and got lucky again in that the problems with transaction costs both coincided with BC's peak and were the reason for us to cash out.

"By 1982, Stallman's aversion to passwords and secrecy had become so well known that users outside the AI Laboratory were using his account as a stepping stone to the ARPAnet, the research-funded computer network that would serve as a foundation for today's Internet.

...

"[When] passwords first appeared at the MIT AI Lab I [decided] to follow my belief that there should be no passwords," Stallman would later say. "Because I don't believe that it's really desirable to have security on a computer, I shouldn't be willing to help uphold the security regime.""

This may also apply to construction areas. My relative hit a temporary metal plate (after construction hours) commuting home from work and it destroyed a tire and dented a rim. Filed a claim through the local municipality which eventually got forwarded to the contracted construction company which fully reimbursed repair costs.
Nice! I just tried out the demo and it seemed to work (hopefully I don't have a charge on my credit card tomorrow, though!). One thing that I saw was that it took a while to do processing, though; something like 30 seconds. I'm not sure if this could be improved.

I would have trouble trusting produce selection. Don't think the average bag/box of fruit/vegetables at Costco is acceptable, for extended periods even in California one has to carefully inspect leafy vegetables/berries to make sure the stuff hasn't started wilting/molding already, otherwise much of the savings in quantity buying is gone by wasteage.
I'm a big believer in tags. I tried to make a tag-based tool that merely relies on directory names as tags, so ~/t/.tag1/.tag2/tag3/your-file-or-directory and moves your files around so that the tag directories are always organized by tag counts.

I had the idea there would be a series of tmv tcd tls commands that work with the tag directory structure.

https://github.com/foucist/tagmv

Warning - The regexp I'm using is likely broken, I suspect directories with .git/ or other dot-directories in them causes issues. It sometimes causes the .git/ innards to be moved out into the project directory or something like that. I never got around to fixing it.
Yes, the 95th %-ile of time-to-resolution would be a far better metric, although you would need to correct for the fact that open unresolved cases are right-censored.

Do you have any idea of the scale and complexity and risk of the code they have deployed? This shit understandably happens. There is no "more people means mistakes don't happen" in any organization on the planet.

There is no "whether or not who should morally be able to roll back a trade". There is a "hey, we are a customer of your business, we do a lot of business together and I make you a lot of money. We had a once in a blue moon mistake in our billions of lines of code, can you help us out. Other banks are watching and there are plenty of other exchanges to do business with"

Farming in general is a dangerous occupation, even in the USA where machinery tends to be reasonably modern and well guarded:

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cfoi.pdf

I wasn't able to find a source but my understanding is that being a farmer is many times more dangerous on a percentage basis than being a police officer, and that's only counting fatal accidents. I would bet good money that the rate of disfiguring/crippling injury is way higher.
Extremely common but definitely not best practice. Many companies don't even have life cycle management.
