It's hard to say. People react in very different ways. I've had very close relatives flip out at news like this, to the point of disowning me. Some people see bipolar people as a threat. I wish it weren't that way, and I wish there was no stigma. But there is, and it's very real. Just a word of caution.

I would say... how long have you been there. Maybe you can take a 6 month sabbatical. Either way, take care of your mental health first, even if you have to quit. If you quit now it's on your own terms. If you quit in the middle of a manic episode.... who knows how that will go down. If you try to get help you might be pushed out and marginalized. If you take a break and get your health together, you can bounce back and land on your feet at another job.

One of my earlier memories is my dad going away to GW1. And when it wasn't war it was training or night flying or exchanges or just on standby while we were away. After my dad left the air force he worked in Saudi for 10 years or so, during which I spent much of my time in boarding schools.

Conversely I work from home and see my kids all the time, albeit they're still younger than my own memories. Only last week I had to two days work in London, about 3 hours commute each way, but I came home rather than stay in a hotel. It's rare we don't all sleep under the same roof.

I don't see my dad as having negative masculine attributes though, or myself as being any better. He was often used as a threat by my mother when we were misbehaving, but more often than not we were just pleased to see each other when he came home. I'm proud of him and the decisions he made, he did the best for his family often to his own detriment and the choices I was able to make just weren't available to him. At 6'5 there reverse is also true, or I'd have been doing all I could to follow the same path.

One other important consideration...

By stating that we're sick of experts the author implies that we don't trust them. It's important to recognize that there are two sides to trust.
1) are they competent
2) do they have integrity

Many of the examples in the article are failures of integrity, not failures of competence (Wall Street investors, Facebook, etc.).

This suggests that the core issue may be lack of ethics/morals rather than lack of expertise.

If you work in tech, you're not dealing with typical masculine behavior. Much of the anti-male sentiment in tech is from men (from the perspective of women) getting/internalizing the rewards of being successful without acting like a successful man.

Men normally are able to control their negative emotions, but you're right that women can be dichotomous, especially in tech. You can predict it if you know why and how they got into the industry.
I've struggled with mental health issues at various points in my life, and for the most part I've been able to maintain a reasonable level of productivity when dealing with those issues, but there are times where it's just been too much and I need a break.

I don't normally talk about it with employers unless I am going through a particularly bad episode which is materially affecting my situation, which if I understand correctly is the case for you.

On the relatively rare occasions where this has happened, I've basically said that 1) I'm not handling this well at all, and - most importantly - 2) unless I'm able to take some time off or reduce my workload significantly, I'm going end up in hospital again and/or having to resign, and that having me keep working while ill is going to work out badly for both parties.

It's strange and unfortunate that mental health issues aren't always understood to the same extent as physical ones. I hesitate to give concrete advice on exactly what your best option is as I don't know enough about your relationship with your employer or how critical your involvement is to the company, but if they're understanding people you have a good rapport with I'd be inclined to go ahead and talk about it.

The most important thing above all else is your health. I cannot stress this highly enough; the alternatives aren't pretty. Even in the (probably very unlikely) event it costs you your job, you should put your wellbeing first - you can always find another job later.
I've done this many times and I would say it's only reciprocated around 50% of the time. It's more nuanced than helping them succeed and expecting them to help you.
Why are those bad comments? The first one is a bit ridiculous, but the others are fine. They're comments. They're not discussion points. YouTube isn't a forum or a social network. There's nothing compelling people to leave intelligent or even constructive points. The comment section is for people to note what they think. That's it.

When people say these sorts of things are bad I think it's because their expectations and understanding of a comments section are wrong.

Most of these sorts of cases are too small to be worth it for a lawyer on an individual basis. Losing out on $3000 of commission you are owed and where expecting can be terrible for an individual, but a chance of winning 30% of a $3000 settlement isn't worth getting out of bed for if you're a lawyer. That's why these sorts of cases only make sense as a class action.
Power from combustion seems like a bit of a tough sell in an environment severely lacking in O2. Then you also need to bring some sort of high efficiency engine (probably an LNG turbine) with you too with an appropriately sized generator.

> If you have a reasonable manager

I think your scenario makes sense and is the optimal way this situation could go. I would add a little caution here just to point out that people you think you trust can suddenly take a turn when issues of mental health are thrown into the mix. There is a lot of historical and societal baggage and probably some biological imperative against the mentally ill. Blaming the mentally ill on recent mass shootings doesn't help that. Perfectly reasonable people can suddenly turn distrustful when you tell them about your diagnosis. They can then ostracize you and tell everyone else. This scenario is not at all uncommon, and is one of the few ways you can go from an insider to a pariah overnight.
Going to a trade show, and putting yourself in front of thousands of others, is definitely push. So is building a website, or doing any type of SEO. Even telling your friends or mom about your new cool widget is push... it's all necessary and it's all marketing.

5 (or more) ways to benefit from TypeScript in React projects
Lisps do that distinction because they need it. In R, you can do everything with functions, because arguments can be lazily evaluated, or you can even get the syntax tree used for that argument at call site instead. So in R, a macro is just a function.

And yes, it's easy to break stuff that way. Just as easy as it is with macros (esp. non-hygienic ones).
One of my main issues (as RN plugin developer) is build system being so fragile. Plugins are usually declaring different library versions. Same thing with gradle versions itself. Currently RN is using gradle 2, but some plugins started to use gradle3, which lead to even more incompatibilities.

I also have several suggestion for RN, but have bad experience with ignoring my issues. React team recommends react-native.canny.io for feature request, but those are pretty much ignored too (not seen official response to any of those).

This is very frustrating as plugin developer who really want RN to progress forward and works for free in my free time.
It is important to remember that your manager's and your own goals may not be alligned. In other words, managers may not have your best interests at heart. Always have to look out for yourself.

I suspect that monks can be depressed too.

You say that you tried lamictal. But that alone won't help at all if you're depressed. It may even make you feel worse. It's the modafinil that makes me happy. But not too much, or I start to go manic. Once you're happy and energetic enough, you add lamictal for stability.

> It's strange and unfortunate that mental health issues aren't always understood to the same extent as physical ones.

It's for this reason I often just lie and say it's a physical issue. People understand that an arm hemorrhaging blood needs to be fixed. They don't understand that a brain stuck on an infinite loop also needs to be fixed.
No, if you wanted "fair pricing" you'd have congestion pricing. Hard data caps are just a way of bilking the subscribers for more money.
The reason the base station and your phone need to know their distance is so the phone can transmit at the right time so its signal arrives at the base during the phones time slot and vice versa. That way the base can listen to other phones outside of that slot and the phone can not listen, saving energy, outside of the slot.

It's just super repetitive, and actually good and original comments get buried because they don't match the hivemind.

Of course, it's a question of taste what comments should be more visible. If the community actually prefers reading the same stuff over and over again, then the current state is probably justified, and it's just a moronic community.

Those places should receive government support (as national heritage museums) or like the internet archive, big corporate sponsors (e.g. google and facebook and co can easily afford to keep those places around as a charity)
That's certainly a valid approach, but I've never actually seen those used in practice. I guess, like me, people are lazy and prefer typing just int, which is guaranteed to be at least 16 bits, and is generally the fastest int type (well, excepting some 8-bit archs.. :P).

There are plenty of tools for manipulating pseudo-terminals, but the correct solution here, that people have been pressing for for quite a number of years now and that some kernel people have already implemented, is to simply remove this ioctl() entirely. setsid() is incorrect for the reasons that Karel Zak alluded to in June 2017, and the work to patch the few users of TIOCSTI such as the C shell and mail has already been done by the OpenBSD people.

> (...) why governments let advertising become such a big business (...)

> Nowadays advertising mainly tries to sell things that people don't need. (...)

Free market fundamentalists (I'm not one of them) would tell you that no one can judge better than the individual themselves what they need or don't need, and that if an individual says they're willing to part with their money to buy X, then that's them saying they actually need it.

Even though I don't buy this view because the world is more complicated than the binary cause-attribution that it implies, I do think it brings up the question of who decides who needs what. If I believe Axe deodorant will get me "the hottest babes" and I decide really need it, would you have the government override my decision?
Would hallucinated images be accepted in court though? I hope not.
> Edit: also, decoupling. If your Lambdas are calling each other directly, consider putting a queue or SNS topic in between. Makes it easier to test each unit independently, can manage timeout / retry issues on your behalf, and gives you a convenient observation point for inter-service traffic

i recall someone giving a talk (offline at a functional programming meetup?) about something like this. it wasn't in the context of AWS services, or serverless, and probably wasn't even in the context of a distributed system --- but the crux of the suggestion was that they re-architected some system to jam queues between everything, which gave them great traceability and the ability to do things like capture messages then replay them later or what have you. once they had the queues in place they realised it would be trivial to add a bunch of other features leveraging the queues (such as "undo", clearly this would depend upon what side effects your system has -- this was a functional programming meetup so perhaps their system didnt have many/any). might be good for enabling recording of execution for export and playback in a debugging environment or for construction of automated regression tests.
> Beware, simple frameworks like this might not capture the whole picture.

I would describe it more like a model. And yeah, those never capture the whole picture, and don't need to to be useful.

> heavy marketing of the new iPad as a content creation device for schools and creative people.

You can do creation of stuff on iPads, of course. I use it a lot as a very-portable writing machine. But still, I think that marketing was just... marketing. Every one wants to think of themselves as creators, and their kids to be doing things rather than watching YouTube, but still iPads are mostly used for consumption and are much better at it than at creation, except for a few jobs/hobbies.

A better counter argument, for me, would be to just watch a non-technical person use a Windows PC. Many would be better served by a safer, simpler iOS on a 20-inch screen with an ok keyboard.

We wouldn't, because we want a more-than-just-ok keyboard, and many windows, and bash, and a many-core CPU that is great at virtualization, and...
Disagree as well. How is Rails legacy? It's probably being developed by more people than ever before.
Just because it hasn't completely overhauled it's architecture doesn't make it legacy.
What will stop you from calling Pheonix legacy in 8 years? There will be at least 2-3 new frameworks/languages that are cooler by then.
It's pull from customer's point of view. I go to a trade show explicitly to seek out offerings. I have no choice with advertising invading all spaces I'm in and all media I consume. This is the difference - putting yourself out there to be found by those who seek, vs. shouting at everyone to pay attention to you.
I’m sure that if I went back to my old habits it would not be long until I experienced massive mood swings, so I don’t consider myself cured in that way. I don’t take any medication for it, but I’m also on a strict diet that would likely be intolerable to most.

Perhaps a better analog would be to say, like, I used to be an addict, and I’m now in remission...

Fixing the billion dollar mistake in Go by borrowing from Rust
I've just finished doing something similar. My mac mini was from 2011 and the harddisk had just died. It was an awkward year in that an SSD can be fitted to replace the mechanical drive, but it would be limited to half-speed on the controller.

The replacement is a NUC from last year (NUC7i5BNK), but there did not seem to be any point installing macos on it - over the years Apple seem to have crammed in a lot of stuff that I don't like and made it much worse as a small cheap unix workstation.

It's running FreeBSD instead and the difference in size / performance / efficiency is remarkable. It's sad that Apple have let the mac mini line die such a slow protracted death, but unless you are determined to be walled inside Apple's ecosystem there is very little reason to get one.

It's hard to concieve a case were you could be liable for anything by simply putting up code online (except for cases where you don't have the rights, e.g. copyright, to do that in the first case or including a death threat in the code) but I hope there is no place that allows you to simply state "I am not liable" to absolve you of your wrongdoings. Usually you are not liable for what other people do with your code.

The German case of nor allowing to give up all your rights has another intention: In the past creators were pressured to give up certain rights which was deemed unfair. To protect the weaker party in negotiations you can't sign away some rights, e.g. allowing defecament of your work, the right to not have someone else's named as an author, or remuneration for a novel not yet envisionable use of the work.
