"Remember this while purchasing"

WTF? What is that supposed to mean? Do you believe that guns have some basic, inherent ability to make people want to commit suicide? What planet do you live on?

Anyone who is going to commit suicide using a gun is going to commit suicide by some other means if a gun isn't readily available. Cite: Japan!
A friend of mine, during his PHD defence on some theoretical physics topic that is way beyond me, once used the term "garden variety quantum(something)", to distinguish it from the new crazy theoretical dimensional weirdness he had been researching.

(actually the phrasing was quite a bit funnier in Dutch: "huis- tuin- en keukenquantum")
Actually that is the statistic I was thinking of (I read an article from a formerly-suicidal female doctor).

I assumed that the trend applied to males too but now I am quite curious as to why it does not apply.

Regional statistics would be helpful too- some have thought that Finns and Russians carry a genetic marker for suicidal tendencies.
Anthony was ad close to an idol to me, since his cooking book was the first one I Read, I will surely miss him and his work. I haven’t felt this sad for some public figure since Steve jobs death.

> The problem with web page performance is people believing that by distributing all their (mostly unnecessary) assets over two dozen unrelated origins they speed things up.

Ironically that is exactly what web developers were told to do for years:

I can't deny that a lot of web pages bundle far too much JS, but if you've been using a strict ad blocker for a long time you perhaps don't realise how bad the ad code has gotten. React loads in the blink of an eye compared to the multi-second load times for five-level embedded popover ads.

AMP pages are only potentially perceived as 'fast' when you access them through google's search. When you do that all the AMP links' assets are pre-loaded in the background so it seems fast when you click through. But AMP pages themselves are just the same speed as anything else or slower when access without google's monopoly position pre-load.
I have to agree, Google gives new meaning to "open source". Open source as "we share some source but the actual meat is in closed proprietary codebase that you cannot inspect". I still remember the AOSP maintainer (Google employee) leaving because he couldn't do his work properly because of Google's politics w.r.t. Android.

Or was that the open source that RMS warned us about?
Poe’s law caused you to be downvoted on HN, sir
I feel you. I took it upon myself to build a tool at my current job to increase the quality of life for employees of another department and tried in vain for a year to get their department head to have them try it, only for some mandate to come down from on high to gather certain metrics my tool was well positioned to gather. Tacked on some metric gathering and now everyone uses it... pretty much just to gather the metrics.

I've accidentally participated in making their lives more tedious for the sake of generating numbers people look at but do not use for anything but complaining about the numbers. And now all my development time on that tool is spent rearranging the numbers. We could at least be using that data to make actionable decisions, but no one is interested in that.

It can be a literal chemical imbalance in the brain. Nothing anyone has free will to decide to feel. (Ie they can’t “think it away”)

We need a more inclusive society for this reason. Things like bullying and other ego boosters at the cost of others separate people.

> Datomic is designed for data sets larger than memory

Of course. But you didn't answer my question.

Let's say someone has an application with 100GB of data in Datomic.

What kind of memory usage should he expect for the "peer" process?
Again, shrug. I don’t know that Tesla is wrong. They already have AutoPilot. It is not entirely unreasonable that they believe the gap to full self driving will be filled entirely by software.

You insist on assuming that they are operating in bad faith by making a prediction and you keep giving bad faith examples as metaphors. If I sold you a car and told you that a future update would automatically dim and brighten the headlights based on whether the road was empty, would that be fraud? Assuming your car came with what I believed to be sufficient hardware capabilities to pull this off, this isn’t a bad faith claim unless I do not intend to deliver.
Sometimes an awesome life can actually make it harder.

It's easy to justify being depressed when you have a crappy life. (even though your depression probably doesn't have some cause like that)

"I am depressed because I am living in a bad apartment in a bad part of town, working a bad job. If I get a better job and can afford a better apartment, I'll be happy."

Assuming you have some hope for that happening, that can keep you going. At the very least, you have something you think is a cause and things are easier to deal with when we at least think we know why they're happening.

"I have everything I could ever want, and I'm still depressed." Pretty easy to let that spiral you into thinking you're never going to get better and that there isn't any hope.
Microsoft had an advertising campaign for Windows Vista called the Mojave Experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_Experiment
There are two employees. One rarely presents a piece of work with any errors in. One regularly makes errors which need fixing.

Which employee best demonstrates the ability to thoroughly review their own work? Which would you want as a senior reviewing other peoples work before sending/presenting it to clients?

They're not training a specific activity, they're training an attitude towards mistakes in all cases.
Vacation / Sick time is a bit different than needing to run errands till 10am, either shifting the working day round a bit or spreading the time out over the next days or week etc.

Doesn't hurt to check in when you're available again as a courtesy but the benefit is NOT having to get permission to do something like this up front.

If you're remote as an employee then presumably the company has process around holidays and stuff that would be followed. If you're a freelancer then part of what stops you, and your client, from being fined by HMRC (in Britain) is setting your own working hours and days.
Hell you could even create backdated fake commits if you wanted to.

Except circular dependencies. I work on an app where a circular dependency failure happens depending on what order spring finds our annotated classes. It made writing a faster bean scanner a little tricky because I had to replicate Springs ordering method.
Any system relying on Truffle depends on Graal. While it may end up being the future JVM JIT compiler, it's not field tested at all in production. I wouldn't yet bet everything on it.
Interestingly enough the house single-payer bill H.R. 676 [1] (and supposedly the Senate bill S. 1804, although I couldn't find any specific language on it) has provisions for "retraining, job placement and employment transition" to account for any "jobs eliminated due to reduced clerical and administrative work".

Yes, benchmarks can give a misleading impression of a database's performance.

So what? Somehow PostgreSQL is doing fine despite that.

Which is worse publicity for Cognitect: people publishing bad benchmarks or Cognitect forbidding benchmarks Oracle style?
My last startup failed and I was actively seeking some remote work so I could have some time to work on personal projects and pay my bills. Even after one month I never got any offers, mostly because people couldn't trust me(had no blog, no social media. just an old GitHub profile).

I applied for several fixed-price jobs from UpWork and Freelancer(mostly preferred UpWork). Clients were generally happy with my work but hated the tiring process.

Luckily one of the projects did really well and I took up the offer to work with the client full time. I still work with the same client, love the work, the pay is really good(considering my PPP-India) and I get enough time to work on my side projects.

Soon after UpWork decided to suspend my account, never fought back even though I knew I did nothing wrong.

Now when I say I have previous remote work experience I generally get a good response.
That is an interesting take and I will need to watch some of his shows again. But I always thought he had a joy about experiencing things and explaining it.
By many accounts we have already passed the limit.
Free as in freedom and not free beer indeed. I mean I don't mind some proprietary uses of Open Source (how else will you fund the project!) but there should be limits to how you do this. I prefer extra paid features / paid support. Google could of made Android a proper Linux distro and charged manufacturers for OS package releases / updates or something of the sort, something reasonable. I wish Android was more Linux like where I can install w/e I want without being forced anything specifically. Replace the UI completely as I so desire as well.
Depends. For a Central European farmer without cattle, there is not much work in winter. You can maintain machines and buildings and such.

Farmers with cattle are more constantly busy. My parents got rid of the few cows they had based on economic calculations and, frankly, a desire to have vacations sometimes. Some old farmers thought they were crazy (it was a few decades ago). Of course, it went just fine.

Been playing with Godot since version 3 came out this year. It is a massive update but it is worth being aware that it doesn't feel complete. It was released because it is good enough to get people started on projects and the port them to 3.1 (which is what this editor is for)

3.1 seems more like the real release:
* Massive cleanup of the UI (as people other people here complained about)
* Full C# support
* GLES v2 support (more hardware support)

I'm developing with 3 and looking forward to 3.1
"...only makes it worse..."

I recently initiated a suicide intervention for a loved one.

I would like to know what would make it better. Or at least what not to do.

I am relentlessly optimistic (cancer survivor, a learned skill). I definitely feel like my efforts here ("talking someone off the ledge") had mixed results at best. Good stuff for other cancer victims. Not so good for depression, suicidal tendencies.

Sure, I took careful notes of conversations with the various care providers, professionals. But I don't feel any better equipped to handle the next flare up.

PS- RIP Anthony Bourdain. Kitchen Confidential deeply influenced me. My first exposure to his ideas, worldview was a "Trial By Fire" profile on his management style in HBR (?). I loved how he accepted everyone to work in his kitchen, so long as they didn't miss a shift. How it was his crew versus the world, every night.

If you actually put the content of the messages on the blockchain itself it'll become ridiculously expensive really fast. Furthermore if you actually wait until a message gets mined to be accepted it's not going to be exactly "instant" messaging.

What would be the point anyway? A dedicated peer-to-peer messaging network that doesn't need to keep track of the entire history of everything seems much more appropriate. IRC comes close to that with its federated architecture, although I suppose a completely seemless bittorent-like peer-to-peer chat using public key cryptography for message authentication could be pretty great.
AMP crossed over into monopolistic territory when Google search engine decided to rank them better. In fact as a user, I always found Google Assistant opening a news article as AMP annoying, because, I couldn't read the comments about the article. Worse still, there was no link to the original article in AMP. So, when the search engine ranks them better, I wonder what the criteria is? Do users actually want the AMP articles instead of original ones, which is not true in my case? If that's the case with everyone, then it is of no one's interest except Google [1].

Has anyone done this and had success? As someone who has dealt with suicidal thoughts for years and continues to struggle with it, it wouldn’t do me any good. I’d lie and act like it’s a ridiculous question, and then I’d probably be binge drinking for the next week from the stress and paranoia from being “found out”.

Sorry if my comments haven't been helpful. But I don't think the problem you're trying to solve is tractable. I'd be very interested to hear of a solution that doesn't rely on locking and is immune to conflicts.

You might fake it (and meet your stated goals) by maintaining a true master behind the scenes and syncing to two public slaves... (ie, forks you treat as peers, each with a "master" branch) but that still leaves neither of them truly "canonical" -- a designation of authority that would apply to the place where you'd resolve conflicts given simultaneous commits.

Overconfidence: The Silent Killer of an Entrepreneur’s Dreams
Everybody has a right to remain silent.

But when the government manages to plug a leak that happened to hand things to the media (compared to leaks that handed things to, say, foreign governments), people are surprised that the Constructionally guaranteed freedom of the press doesn’t actually include a right for the media to keep sources confidential. That’s why Judith Miller ended up in jail (and the story I heard was that her first legal team thought she had a right to keep sources confidential, which is why she spent so long in jail).
I used to work at google about 5 years ago. While I was there it was clear that Google employed some of the most morally conscience people I've ever worked with. It's why I still trust them to this day with data that I would never trust anyone else with. As long as Google employees continue to have a voice in the company I'll continue to trust them.
That whole "chemical imbalance" thing is a myth.
IMO the idea of micro services makes sense when you have a bunch of services and they don't call each other. If they do call each other then they are coupled and that bring whole slew of problems and they are not independent anymore. Soon your system will looks like a messy graph.
Maybe, depending on what you mean. Do you mean it's hard to measure individual developers' contributions in monetary terms? I agree. But they average out. If you can afford to pay two people sitting in your office equal amounts on the assumption that they contribute equally, you can also afford the same if one of them sits elsewhere instead.

Which affects shareholders more? The potential negative PR or the potential government contracts?

If it were so cut and dry, I don't think they'd have a policy at all, and I think this policy is the output of a calculated risk assessment where Google determined that the effect of the PR would be greater than the cash.

Plus, there was a chunk of their staff that threatened to leave the company if they went through with their pentagon drone project [0]. I imagine it would be hard to explain that to Wall st.

Because then every time you ask for help, people tell you

"You should really have someone better than you doing this."

Try asking the internet a database or encryption question. Many times people wont even nudge you into a google search, they just shut the question down.

To program means learning advanced IMO. I have a hard time considering these 'software engineers' who have been doing Android Testing for 6 years 'programmers'.

On the flip side, you get some random 20 some year old kid with no formal training that builds the next gen blockchain.

You can do lots of stuff as an average programmer, but they cannot do anything alone.

I struggled with mental health issues my entire adult life.

Psychosis, Schizophrenia, Biploar, Anxiety, Suicidal Depression, Panic Attacks.

It wasn’t until I changed my relationship to all emotions and then sought out a variety of support to safely go deeply into my experience that I was able to find relief.

1 session of MDMA therapy lifted a decade of suicidal thoughts; session 2 a year later largely freed me of anxiety and paranoia; combined with a NARM therapist to help me heal developmental and shock trauma, yoga, holotropic Breathwork and a loving stable romantic relationship. And a lot of grace.

No meds, no longer a prisoner, and my life is vibrant and alive and the past feels like nothing more than a straight jacket I wriggled out of.

The often unspoken truth is that Trauma (developmental, shock, generational) underpins most all mental health issues (save issues of malnutrition, poisoning,tumors and TBI).

This is on the radar of few practioners who instead offer very limited tools to suppress symptoms.

And because mental health is actually a context, folks typically are surrounded by others who don’t have a very deep capacity to honor our expeirences and would rather try to “cheer us up” or change what we feel. The actual need is to have people who help us feel more of what we feel (that leads to deeper relief).

The Suicidal Impulse is a an impulse for the pain of our default mode network to stop. When we have unprocessed traumas, we are in a state of fight or flight and this activation is painful. It also leads to addiction.

Ego (default mode network) death and rebirth is possible without killing the body. It requires a safe context to release the old trauma and form new pathways in the incresed plasticity.

Know that there are actual solutions, it’s not your fault, and there are people here to help — but you will need to take responsibility for healing this as our current society is doing a terrible job thus far.
All the money and fame in the world doesn't do much protecting at all: it can lock you in the depths of your mind. Imagine a situation where every interaction you have with other people is fawning or fraudulent. Where all day, every day, someone is either kissing your ass or wiping your ass. Nothing is genuine. Nothing can be trusted. Everyone wants to use you to their own ends.

Fame and the life it brings seems desirable, but there's ample evidence that would indicate otherwise.

If you think about it, it's no wonder so many famous people are depressed, dysfunctional, or disgusting - their self worth and ability to self-evaluate are completely distorted. And the pressure of maintaining that fame, that score that many believe determines how important you are to society, is crushing.

If you're not happy, not content, not satisfied with yourself when you're a "nobody", becoming a "somebody" won't change that. Whatever issues you brought to the table before you got fame and power won't be improved once fame and/or power is acquired. The Good Book says something along those lines a few thousand years ago:

"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. - Luke 16:10
> I think this is a form of branding, it "feels" like a better product when you have a video with expensive production values.

I'm only familiar with Air New Zealand's productions, but they are totally marketing / patriotism / more marketing. In that sense they form a very important function: they do some crazy video that gets them in the news again, reminding people they exist and solidifying the idea that they are a fun airline you should totally pay slightly more than the competition to fly with.

(full disclosure, I am a New Zealander who will fly AirNZ if given the opportunity, so clearly it worked on me!)
I was reading about the Hong Kong episode for Parts Unknown just yesterday where his girlfriend directed it and they used a famous cinematographer too that Anthony always wanted to work with.

The question boils down to marketing. If a company spends more money on marketing, every rival company will do so too. They are creating jobs, that would cancel each other out.
