> A severely depressed friend needs professional assistance from a psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker or another medical professional.

This is an example of a troubling pattern often seen when talking about "depression". Depressed mood can be a symptom of numerous medical conditions. That means you need to write down all observed symptoms and see a doctor to diagnose or rule out those conditions. It's a bad idea to jump straight to psychology or psychiatry just because your most distressing symptoms are psychological. It's an especially bad idea to get committed to a psychiatric hospital with an undiagnosed chronic condition that psychiatrists don't specialize in treating.
> You should find yourself being able to build a query that delves 4+ relations deep without much trouble.

How is that a good thing from the server’s point of view?

As mentioned elsewhere, almost no one talks avout the server shen talking about GraphQL.

When you can construct an ad-hoc query 4+ relations deep on the client, how can anyone efficiently handle this on the server? You can’t even properly cache GraphQL requests.

I join in the argument that labor is coerced into participating in the free market in the US. The agent/subject that you're missing is the government and their enforcement of laws pertaining to property.

I would argue that labor is only as free as the social net for unemployed is strong. The coercion comes from the fact that your landlord can have the sheriff evict you (or your bank can foreclose and do the same) and the place where you help yourself to food without paying can have the police arrest you. Likewise if you try to oppose that physically, or, say, gain employment by selling illicit drugs, there's a system already in place to confine you to a jail or prison.

Forward the calls to a number that can handle many simultaneous channels and set up an IVR on that. The IVR would tie up the malicious calls, while forwarding the legitimate ones through to yet another number (your mobile?).

Also, start planning for the future and don’t depend on a single, antiquated technology to acquire customers. Consider this incident like a wake up call.
I make these tradeoffs a lot. Automating is fun but time consuming. Doing things manually is tedious. However, automating has one benefit: you make things easier for the next time you do something similar because you learn something. Usually requests for tedious things are not isolated incidents. So I have a bunch of commandline stuff that I know how to glue together like csvkit, jq, xargs, and a simple bash script that adds functions to do rest against our api server. Using that I can do easy bulk operations against our db without investing in product features, ui, etc.

smart phones where a radical innovation, but how is making batteries, electric cars, or reusing rockets radical?

From my understanding Musk is investing in tough challenges for prestige. The innovation, if any, comes from his engineers.
It could be a viable way to catch potential customers' eyes as a B2B startup. "Hey everyone my company definitely makes $50k/month so lots of other folks trust us and you should too!"

I'm glad someone is experimenting with new interfaces, but for me this is kind of a gimmick, like the MacBook touchbar or the big touch-sensitive screens in cars. Any interface that requires looking at it will slow me down/distract me. There's huge value in the keyboard keys all being in the same place and in not shifting your gaze in order to move the mouse pointer.

"Reset" usually implies a return to a previous state or a zero state or a correct state.

None of those apply, except that some people want such a catastrophic event to occur, so might consider it a 'correct state'.

Similarity, I think it would be wrong to characterize the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event as a "reset".

What's wrong with "a catastrophic event"?

I think the "singularity" you refer to is the one described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity , most broadly interpreted as "Some writers use "the singularity" in a broader way to refer to any radical changes in our society brought about by new technologies such as molecular nanotechnology"

I don't see how it can be applied to 'religious end-of-days types' or 'Trump people'.
The makers have a new game called Contraption Maker, which I have yet to download, as I feared it will consume me like TIM series did when I was growing up. These are some of my favorite games of all time.

A couple things that helped me when I was severely depressed and suicidal:

1) I can kill myself, at any time, if I want to. I'm in control and nobody can take that away. Paradoxically, understanding that made me feel better, because if I know I can do it at any time, why do it now? May as well wait a little while.

2) Make a checklist of essential tasks and get into a habit of doing those things no matter what. Some examples: shower, brush teeth, floss, use mouthwash, clip nails, walk 10k steps, do dishes, make bed etc. Check them off. It doesn't matter what's on the list, but it is important to check off 100% of the items each day. Put every small task you can think of on this list and you'll feel good when you check each of them off.

3) Take a good multivitamin + vitamin D

4) Eat healthier. Fresh steamed spinach and wild salmon always made me feel a little better for whatever reason.

5) Get out of the house! Walk! This is really important.

6) Go to the gym. Aim for at least a couple minutes of sprints per day (I like the rowing machine for this). Sprints are holy time in that suicidal thoughts will completely disappear, if only for those few minutes.

7) Walk through a dangerous part of town. Nothing gets rid of depressive thoughts faster than rising blood pressure and a fast heartbeat.

8) Get rid of as much decision-making as possible in your life. Turn decisions into mechanical rules. e.g. don't think "do i want to brush my teeth today?" You need to brush your teeth in order to cross it off your list.

9) Sleep will naturally improve on its own, over time, if you exercise, move around, and eat healthier, so don't worry if you currently have trouble sleeping.

10) This book is pretty good, but only read after you've eaten healthy, gone outside, and exercised: https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Good-Life-Ancient-Stoic/dp/0195...

What didn't work for me was: thinking about all the people i'd hurt, calling a hotline, any decision-making that wasn't mechanical and required reasoning, insight, or motivation.

If you're suicidal right now, start by putting some shoes on, going outside, and sprinting until you can't breathe anymore. Do this 3 times.

Seriously, I think it's a positive evolution. I wish they had the same laptop at 13" though.
I'm not taking a wider position here but, in my personal experience, the statement "everyone already knows the risks" doesn't seem to be very true at all. A number of people I've come across have attempted highly hazardous removal projects on their own. When I ask them why they did it, they just sort of shrug it off claiming either (1) getting mesothelioma in 15-30 years is "too far in the future" to care about, or (2) the "whole asbestos thing" is a scam.

It seems to me that these incidents can only rise with the growing popularity of do-it-yourself home renovation (and the countless TV shows on the topic), not to mention the terribly incorrect advice I find on the web about how to do this safely...

It's sad to see people cause long-term contamination of their homes during renovation, only to raise their children in them or sell them off to some unsuspecting buyer. I can't really see how this won't end up costing lives...

(just my 2¢)
I think the point of the article wasn't to argue which desktop env is the bestest, but rather that as far as canonical is concerned the desktop can go DIAF (except as a gateway drug for their server/iot stuff). They are focusing on cloud / iot.

So they dumped their own thing. Since unity was partially based on gnome, they used gnome before, and somebody else (rh) keeps pumping resources into it, it seems like a natural choice.
The five eyes IC apparatus has invested in Tor relays and mitm attacks of Tor exit traffic so much so that I personally think using Tor endangers you [1]. They were doing this ~10 years ago (public info - [2]).

As for the surveillance state,I keep pondering other aspects of society. Like how public restrooms are intentionally designed to lack privacy,how in the military and prison you're expected to be comfortable with being completely naked around others and how it is completely acceptable for an arrested citizen to be forced to undress in front of other prisoners and possibly undergo a full on body cavity search all without the chance to defend his accusation in court. I could go on,but you get the point.

I am not so sure the people want privacy. Or maybe they think so lowly of their freedoms,short term safety is always more preferable.

From the intelligence community's perspective, it's all about information control. They do this in other countries. They topple regimes and adjust public opinion in the inteterests of western security and economical goals. If I was in their shoes, I can see myself using fear of other countries doing the same thing against us and use that as an excuse to "beat them to the punch" and take control of information flow in the west.

They simply don't have the clear consent of the people to use the means they use by which they justify the end goal: national security. Regardless of how oblivious and clueless the people may be, the very foundation of a democratic republic is consent. An agent or officer of any democratic republic who persistently acts in subversion of the people's consent is a traitor even if no particular law is broken.

How I completed my first web dev challenge
The effect disappears when tithing is excluded from consideration.

There are many ways to slice that, but in any case, it's NOT symmetric. To the extent that religious people "donate" more, it's only because one of their primary outlets for self-expression happens to be considered a charity!

My previous church expected full members to tithe (not required, but strong social pressure). And that counted as "charity" even though the vast majority of that money only benefited us (worship space and a pastor eats up a huge percentage of funds). I'm sober-minded about the fact that this space was really for ourselves, no matter how charitable the intent.

However, membership dues in my local hackerspace (where we also do some charity, but where again the vast majority of funds go towards infrastructure for ourselves) aren't considered donations. Those are dues, not tithes (aka donations).

In any case, as someone who tithed for years, IMO maybe 10% of tithing goes to truly charitable causes. Maybe.

So when I hear "Christians donate more to charity!" and then read "but effect disappears with tithing is excluded", what I really hear is "we spend lots of money maintaining our clubhouses". Not because I'm judgemental or anything,
but because I've seen both church and other non-profit entities finances. It's just the reality of most community-organized non-profits that don't have explicit charitable goals as their primary intent.

So, to be clear, there's nothing wrong with funding a space and your pastor's salary (or, for that matter, paying to lodge for out-of-town hackers/lecturers). But the asymmetry in how those are accounted comes with hopefully clear entailments about any purported higher moral ground for one over the other.
How long until there’s a system dashboard running on that thing. That’d be really cool spot for it on a laptop. Especially if the touchpad works as usual and you can just glance at it for system updates.
Wow, TIL. Thanks, did not know about this expression :)
I might be able to help. What’s the best email to reach you?
Why? As far as visuals go, the Touch Bar (which dislike) is at least in line of sight and you hands are not over it all the time.

Regardless, why not just improve on using one's phone the way you can already with some 3rd party apps... since almost the first day touch screen phones were available? It can at least be positioned anywhere that works for you.

You'd also save the world a cycle of e-waste for the sake of “we too” 2nd hand innovation.

Imagine Microsoft would have actually worked with them to salvage and re-purpose the millions of Windows phones (now in dumpsters and land fills), as detachable touch pads.

I find IH to still be incredibly valuable. Sure, the interviews/podcast are still the best part but, despite being relegated to the footer, they're hardly hidden! It's not like they've gone anywhere.

One of the more surprising things about ML is that it can look like it's working, even when there are horrible bugs.

This makes testing even more important than usual, but testing ML systems is even harder than testing normal software, so you're in a shitty place either way.

ML ends up being this sort of bimodal level of difficulty, either it's super easy and everything works without much effort (it happens sometimes), or it doesn't work quite how well you need it to and you should probably be ready to sinks many months into it.

I would suggest Ruby on Rails. I am not familiar with other frameworks, so it might be that others have the same advantages as I will describe below.

For me the first and most important aspect is that for a new idea/project I just create a new Rails project, add Devise (authentication gem) and in very short time I can have login/signup and a welcome page. All of them with a decent level of security so that I don't need to think a lot about CSFR, XSS, SQL Injection (if you will follow Active Record guidelines) and many other things.

In Rails you can create your frontend directly in HTML/CSS/Javascript without the need to learn also React or Vue. And this "old" way of doing things will allow you to focus on the product and not on learning two frameworks (Rails + Frontend Framework). At least for me this is what it brings.

Also it is very easy to make your webapp expose an API and thus connect to the backend business logic from a Mobile App or some other client. This way you can re-write later your backend incrementally without loosing any downtime.

There is a healthy community of functionality packed as Gems and if you need a feature that is pretty common it might be that someone created a gem for it. Please be aware that not all gems are equal.

Also I like the language - Ruby - because for me it was very easy to pick it up and in the beginning I did not need to understand everything to have a prototype running.

I will add to this that the community is very supportive. I suggest RubyonRails.link Slack community where you can really address your questions and in general someone will help you with it.
Do you hate the systemic racism, military-industrial complex, environmental abuse, corruption, and overreaching government surveillance present in the US? Yes? Anyone not intentionally being dense can see all those problems are far worse in China. Then consider fact that the Chinese government is actively trying to make those things worse. It fucking infuriates me that anti-American sentiment is so trendy now that people (even as a joke) propose that China might be a better world police.

You're completely wrong. Most diesel locomotives are in fact diesel electrics. I.e. diesel engine, generator, electric motors. Most of those cannot use external power sources (although a few can, e.g. class 73 in the UK).

Certainly in the UK: the most common locomotives such as class 66, 60, 58, 67, 47 - they're all diesel electric.

In the US, same story: for passengers the GE Genesis is pretty big, things like SD90MAC and AC6000CW are big for freight.
I was listening to some interview or podcast about a year ago and the line that really struck me, in the "I've always known this but didn't have the words" sort of way, was this:

How ages faster than Why.

Many of the tools we use are trying to wrestle with the same set of problems we've been dealing with since at least the early 90s. Physics and Information Theory don't change just because you found a new syntax for a programming language. Most of the 'novel' concurrency models people plow into their new framework were all documented by Tony Hoare over a five year period in the 70's.

And all of these libraries, with rare exceptions, are building over the same set of wire protocols and OS abstractions.

The challenge for any of us is staying committed to the work. You can get their by learning perseverance, or trick yourself into it with zeal. Amp yourself up with regrettable levels of excitement and dive in head first. But if you take that option, you're going to spend your whole career running from one thing to the next, until you get some perspective or get out.

Zeal is made uncomfortable by ambivalence, and it hates dissent.

The hard part is not learning the new way to do the same thing. Chesterton's Fence has your back. The hard part is telling an interviewer that what they're doing isn't all that novel without them getting offended or labeling you a wet blanket. But how else do you convince them you can come in 'cold', as they see it, and contribute, because it's not cold. The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.

I have a million things I want to get done that I only rarely get to work on because we're so busy dealing with distractions. I don't need buzzwords to do any of it, but I do need progress, and that's hard to find when everyone is running in circles.
