Being consistent, healthy, and regular with a number of things.

Attending professional talk therapy and taking prescribed dosage of psychiatric medication.

In therapy they will probably mention the following as well:

Sleep schedule (same bedtime and wake up time each day, long enough, restful, no screens in bed)

Exercise (helps with sleep and stress management, almost any routine aerobic or strength done to exhaustion will work if done multiple times a week)

Socializing (hanging out with a group of close friends at least once a week socially is the goal)

Diet (veggies, whole fruits, possibly vitamin B supplements)

Moderation or abstinence from legal recreational drugs. Abstinence from illegal recreational drugs.

Meditation and other forms of metacognition aka thinking about what you are thinking, often right in the moment when you are thinking the original thought to help manage your emotion response to internal or external stress.

Moderation or abstinence from social media, news, and most ad driven media

Stating that a headline doesn't match an article is a different claims from stating that an article fails to be convincing.

One can disagree with the case they're making. But the headline was (now changed here): "Comcast disabled throttling system, proving data cap is just a money grab." The article covers both the fact that Comcast has disabled their throttling system, and why the writer thinks the remaining data cap is a money-grab.

Whether you agree that the data caps are money-grabs or not is completely irrelevant to whether the headline is (was) appropriate. Your argument seems to be with the article, not the headline.

The headline is like the label on box, and your argument seems to be with the contents of the box.
The real danger of going through this process is that you will get so enamored with this acquisition that the normal drudge of plugging away becomes uninteresting in comparison. They drag you along, you stop shipping, you stop growing and then they can offer you whatever they want or nothing at all. In the end, I don't think many people are very happy post acquisition, so if you feel good about your product and team, you might want to just stop talking to them and go back to work.

Like Adamantcheese says, if you're the one running it, whatever complexity may be beyond them you can handle.

D&D 5th Edition does streamline a lot of things compared to 3rd and 4th edition. It also brings D&D (to some extent) back to its roots (your characters aren't veritable superheroes out the gate like a lot of them seem to be in 4th, for instance, and you aren't selecting from tons of classes across the various splat books like in 3rd).

Castles & Crusades is a D&D-like system that's fairly light and meant to call back to 1st and 2nd edition. No skills, no feats. No THAC0-like complexity in the rules. You have a target number to hit based on your primary stats, and modifiers based on the situation and abilities. A fair number of published modules of decent to good quality and if you have experience with making your own it won't take you long to come up with new adventures for them.

Fiasco (though you'll want to use different playsets than the book contains) is a very light but fun story-focused system. The main playsets are not at all kid appropriate, better ones for that age range are available online. It also has a stronger focus on imagination and storytelling versus mechanics (really, the mechanics only exist to set up the scenario and resolve a few things at two points in the play).

http://fiascoplaysets.com/genre:kid-friendly - I have no experience with any of these, so I can't comment on quality and actual kid-friendliness.

Dread is technically a horror game. But the mechanics are ludicrously simple. As the game master you talk to the kids and help them develop characters, and relationships between the characters. Then you put them in a situation. Whenever they do something challenging, they pull from a Jenga tower (7-8, this may be more difficult for them to do well, but there are other variations). If the tower falls, the character is out of play (in most Dread games this means dead, catatonic, severely wounded; with kids you may want to bring them back in but have the character unable to do much for a few rounds). Kids would probably have fun with it as the tension rises with the tower.

Both Dread and Fiasco can be used for any genre, fantasy, contemporary, horror, scifi. Just steal the mechanics and fit the experience to the kids interests.

> it can’t possibly cost anywhere near $10k per subscriber to build out fiber normally, even in small cities, can it?

I don't know, because I don't possess any expertise in the matter. What I do have is a history of watching public works projects budgets balloon completely out of control. It seems far more likely, given history, that this estimate is low.
I mean this in support of your business-building quest, not as a slight: the worst businessman I know is a Professor at the Wharton School of business. Your market, competition, and execution are orders of magnitude more significant than your in-classroom education. Keep pushing, you'll get there!

Not just Crossrail, even the new tube lines, such as the Northern Line Extension to Battersea are dug much wider than the old tunnels they connect up to. Obviously they carry the same trains as the rest of the line.

The narrowness of the old tunnels is a constant hurdle to improving the tube.
Great points made here. We went through something similar not too long ago. From that experience, I recommend you discuss at least the ball park of what they're willing to offer up front (and what you're willing to accept), before going through any further diligence. This way you can avoid going through an extremely distracting process and then only find out at the end that the offer isn't a compelling one.
As far as I understand it:

A background subshell is started that waits 10 seconds and then runs a program with the input "id". That program uses ioctl to send characters to the current TTY.

Since the user exited back to the root shell before the program executed, the `id` command is typed and executed on the root shell.

I agree with you, but governments will ask: is it better to back an expensive technology, or a cheaper one like wireless? Is it the government's responsibility to provide the state-of-the-art. or the minimum viable?

I'd prefer it if us Americans would believe in the former, but unfortunately I think our culture expects the government to do the latter (or nothing at all).

A few mental tricks I've mentioned here before that help me:

1. I once heard Sam Harris talking about this process. Most people sort of are their thoughts. That is -- this is tough to describe plainly -- their thoughts and feelings are primary, driving their actions as if mechanically linked. But you can in a certain sense become aware of your thoughts and view them as an outsider, as something that's happening independent of you, that you can see and choose how you react to. It's not just about self-assessment (although it is about that). It works during acute "attacks" too.

It's crazy, but hearing him say that made a huge impact on an anxiety problem that had been getting worse for me. Thinking of it this way has without exaggeration changed my life.

2. A second sort of ridiculous trick that works for me, for some reason:

There may be a billion universes in which I die this week, but it can’t be this one, because I am subjectively alive and experiencing this one. I can only experience the timeline in which I live. There may be other timelines, but I wouldn’t know about them, because I’m alive in this one. I can only experience living.

I don’t experience the timelines where I do/did die, by definition. I can only enjoy the one in which I don’t/didn’t.
It's new. I also believe the "staring down the bull" location is not a permanent location.

It was created to advertise an index fund.

The bull statue is not located in front of the NY Stock Exchange building; it's located at Bowling Green Park ~2 block away.

The sculptor of the bull statue is extremely opposed to the "staring down the bull" location; he believes it corrupts the meaning of his statue and exploits his work for profit. Which, IMO, is a fair position to take even if you are 100% in favor of gender parity.

BONUS fun fact: The charging bull statue was originally unsanctioned guerrilla art.
Do you have a reference for that number? That sounds really high.
As there are many causes of depression it's probably a bit much to say that there are no hacks. There are plenty of lifestyle changes that will possibly have a positive effect - exercise, diet and sleep being three obvious ones. Even if they don't lift depression they are going to be beneficial to health.

I cut out refined sugar from my diet and started taking turmeric in the form of golden paste (as a natural cure for tendinitis) a couple f months back. I noticed an improvement in my mood and outlook as a pleasant side effect.
This is so cart before the horse though. All of those things can keep you out of depression, but they don't address the underlying problems if other things are going on.

It seems like the advice is "just be healthy and do healthy habits". None of them are hacks - they're just what everyone tells you to do. If they worked and this was the advice that was needed, we wouldn't have an epidemic.

>There is merit to this reorg. Unfortch, we’re not the U.K. so we can’t just decide this overnight. It would be monumental and it would never happen.

I agree completely. But it's costing us dearly. Just look at how bad public transit is in the DC area with the Metro system: this is caused by it being under the control of 3 states (counting DC as a state here). Having metro areas split over state boundaries causes massive problems like this, increases costs enormously, and makes the country uncompetitive. Eventually it's going to result in America not being the strongest economy in the world, and maybe even a not-so-important has-been like Britain. The politics in this country are fundamentally broken, and the long-term results of this are not going to be good.
Android P Beta vs. iOS 12 Beta: Which Looks Most Promising?
For those unaware, ioctl(TIOCSTI) allows injecting characters back into the tty, where they will be read by the next process to read from the terminal. In this case, that process is the root shell that execed su.
if you're all excited about the fiber, then better question is what jobs are available that pay enough to live inside the city limits?

property isn't as expensive as SF, but the pay isn't SF either. a sibling comment mentions all the university/government positions, but starting salaries there don't pay to live in boulder. of all my fulltime coworkers at the university, i was the only one with a boulder address, and i still wasn't inside the city. (the students were usually inside the city, since they were paying for it with loans, and living in shithole apartments.)

Google, Amazon and Uber recruiters in the area are all pestering me. Twitter, Intel, Cray and nVidia are here. Microsoft seems to come and go? Lockheed, Ball, Oracle, NetApp, Workday, Workiva, and The Trade Desk always have job openings.
Later on in the series he also turned to referencing other series in a way I'm sure he thought was clever, similar to how he wrote himself into his own book. I didn't care for it. He also had the annoying habit of using cultural references as a crutch for world and character building. Oh, see this thing, it's just like a light saber from star wars! Or those flying objects, they're sneetches from harry potter! Well, that's one way to write a book. The DT was a sweeping, intricate, wild ride to nowhere. I'd put it in the same box as LOST. I don't regret either. I enjoyed them both immensely. But they weren't leading anywhere, and I didn't need to reprimanded by King at the end for wanting a satisfying ending.
I don't necessarily disagree with all that; however, I do think it would have been good for Google to disambiguate in their announcement and documentation that they don't mean standards-track QUIC here, or more generally, what version of QUIC they mean.

At least with SPDY it was clearer that SPDY was something different from HTTP 2.
Reading the article reveals that you have fundamentally misunderstood the issue here. The first paragraph of the article states:

> More than a third of American adults are taking prescription drugs, including hormones for contraception, blood pressure medications and medicines for heartburn, that carry a potential risk of depression, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Not on "happy pills," but on medicines that may lead to depression as a side effect.

nbviewer is a handy tool but it doesn't actually host your notebooks for you - you have to link from somewhere else (like Github). Binder hosts the Jupyter environments but has no publishing feature.

What we've tried to do is combine the features of Github (notebook hosting) and Medium so you can publish professional-looking blogs from directly within the Jupyter environment. We also support Jupyterlab, Jupyter's next-gen UI.

In effect, your entire data science workflow can be conducted on one central platform.

Ayahuasca worked very well for me. I was in a pretty bad state when I started working with this plant... But after some time it really cured my depression and my anxiety.

If anyone decides to do it I would recommend finding a center with good reviews in Peru, and booking before you go. Don't just buy a ticket to Iquitos and hope to find a retreat or a shaman. Do some proper research and be prepared.

> Second, we already have a perfectly fine train to O'Hare!

People who don't like or use transit love to talk about trains to the airport. It reveals a lot about how they view transit. To wit: it's a novelty, for special situations, for when you couldn't otherwise use your car to get where you're going.

It's not real transportation, in other words. It's a shuttle for the exceptions in your life.
TIOCSTI ioctl

Two sources that are missing:

opendatanetwork.com: this is effectively a Google for public Socrata data portals, and for me, the best way to discover datasets across different municipalities. For example, when I was interested in trying to replicate the NYT's "Do ‘Fast and Furious’ Movies Cause a Rise in Speeding?" [0] article, it was pretty easy to find a bunch of other traffic/motor vehicle violation datasets with opendatanetwork's search.

Enigma public (https://public.enigma.com): a huge collection of scraped public datasets, including flattened versions of data that originally comes in annoying-to-parse, such as U.S. lobbying disclosures [1]

[1] https://public.enigma.com/datasets/lobbying-disclosures-lobb...
Another variant of using TIOCSTI with poor permissions. FWIW this exact same bug impacted Docker and LXC at various points. In the case of lxc-attach, when stdio is connected to a TTY, it creates a new pty within the container and multiplexes between them to avoid the issue. I don't think there is a single legitimate use for that ioctl.. it should just die already

tl;dr passing a TTY with stopped privileged jobs reading from it (like an interactive root shell) into an unprivileged location is deadly, as the unprivileged location can use TIOCSTI to load up the TTY's input buffer and then exit, causing the stopped jobs to read that input when they're resumed

Sometimes depression comes because we're suppressing other emotions. That has been my experience. I used to seriously suffer from depression, but now that I've learned to recognize and deal directly with the underlying emotions, my depression has disappeared.

I'm not implying at all that this is the cause of all depression, merely that it was in my case.
If you have been feeling depressed for a long time, I recommend consulting a professional.

I think I entered depression a few months ago after a hard breakup and a difficult personal, professional situation. I could not do my daily activities, I just wanted to stay in the corner of a room and cry out my pain. It was physically painful, too. I am still recovering and it takes a lot of time to.

One thing that helped me is to read self-development books. I read two, it has literally saved me from sinking. If you like philosophy, I highly recommend it.

$ (sleep 10; /tmp/a.out id) &

$ -> the end of the prompt of a "normal" (i. e. non-root) user

() -> run everything inside in a forked subshell of the current shell

sleep 10 -> "block"/sleep for 10 seconds via the `sleep` executable in your $PATH

; -> after the left-hand side terminates, proceed with the next command on the right-hand side

/tmp/a.out id -> fork and exec the program located at /tmp/a.out with the literal byte sequence "id" on its argument vector

& -> run this command (the whole subshell that () requests) as a background job

When the user exits the shell that spawned the subshell, the whole process group will receive SIGHUP. The backgrounded subshell will still continue running, and after its `sleep` child process terminates, go on to run `/tmp/a.out`.
Haha, fair enough. The other day I was getting this bizarre mismatch of versions of a dependency and I couldn't figure out how it could even matter. Like, who cares if they're two minor versions apart? Neither of them were global so there was no conflict for their parent modules. _That_ is the kind of stuff that kills me about npm. It can be really reeeaally hard to figure out what to do in those situations.

Also, package.json is arguably a pretty gnarly way to organize... Well, everything? It's the kitchen sink of configuration, but it's supposed to be for managing packages. But no, you can also configure your packages in there, configure scripts for your application, etc. It's nuts.

Even so, both of them are miles ahead of what we had 10 years ago!
Done, what now?

Where would these unique IDs be stored? In Python, variables are just references to objects (as are entries in lists, dictionaries, etc.). So you would need some sort of intermediate object that kept the id and reference to the underlying list; the underlying list would be shared but there would be a separate stub object for every (distinct) variable. In the case of an empty list, this probably wouldn't be any smaller than the current system of having a totally separate list.

Copy-on-write might make a difference in the case of large non-empty lists, but then there's another problem: you would need to trigger the copy even if something contained nested within the list changed e.g. if `x=[[1,2],3]` and you change `x[0][0]`. One way around this would be to only allow copy on write for lists of immutable things (excluding immutable things containing mutable things e.g. `x=[([1, 2], 3), 4]`). This is all a really significant change from the current object model.
You haven't been working with scientists very long, have you? I'm guessing you're also only a very recent CS grad. You're criticizing a language based on the behavior of certain people who use the language, rather than criticizing the language itself.

For many years before you mounted your high horse, scientists were writing equally shitty code in Perl. When they've moved on from R, they'll write shitty code in some other language.
