Socratic method. If my post was wrong, then it should be equally alienating to both women and men. But if it was merely an uncomfortable truth, then it should only be alienating to men - specifically men who take offense at having the general nature of sexism and their specific toxic reaction pattern to it called out.

As I've said before, "I FEEL PERSONALLY ATTACKED!!" is a redirection, a way of changing the subject and reversing the roles of attacker and victim. Men who understand sexism (including the sexist responses in discussions of sexism) don't feel personally attacked by generalizations and statistical truths. I don't feel attacked.

Let's get Socratic again. Was my comment alienating? Yes, and deliberately so, to a targeted audience. Was it alienating to those who accept the basic truth of it? No. But the real question is... is what I said untrue? As a generalization, are women likely to find this study unsurprising? Are men likely to take a defensive position and make it about themselves? You seem to be agreeing with this - "alienating to men, obviously". It wouldn't be alienating to men if they weren't likely to do the role-reversal defense, and it would be alienating to women if it were untrue.

So we're in a position where my comment is strongly punished by the community for saying true things. And here comes the hemlock. Socratic method is very interesting sometimes.

Except that with utf-16 you still have to give up any hope of O(1) string operations, unless you don't care about accuracy. Only UTF-32 allows O(1) index based operations.

For example, 🧐 (aka face with monocle) needs 2 UTF-16 'characters', since the UTF code point is U+1F9D0, or, in UTF-8: F0 9F A7 90.

And this ignored the point that others have made about combining characters, such as ‍
woman farmer
Unicode: U+1F469 U+1F3FD U+200D U+1F33E, UTF-8: F0 9F 91 A9 F0 9F 8F BD E2 80 8D F0 9F 8C BE

That beast needs 7 UTF-16 or 15 UTF-8 "characters". I.e. 14 bytes vs 15 bytes. And this is still only one displayed character.

This.

Especially in more severe cases, attempting to deal with it yourself is dangerous. Think about it: depression often creates a lack of motivation and a feeling of not being in control. If you try something and it fails, then what? Then you blame yourself for failing, you feel even less motivated and even less in control, and you're possibly worse off then when you started. (Not to mention: you learn the wrong lesson about failure.)

IMHO, the very premise that you can "hack" around depression is flawed. If you tore your rotator cuff, came down with a serious fever, or broke a bone, would you try to "hack" around it? I doubt it, unless you're out in the wilderness and days from care - and at that, you'd likely seek proper care when you get back to civilization. Mental health is no different; we just have a societal problem treating it with the same seriousness and urgency.
Many people struggling with mental health issues need an external reference point along with expert advice / supervision. A good support network of friends / family provides the former. Ideally, doctors provide both; they at least provide the latter, if they're at all half-decent.

Now, it's not at all the same thing, but: I struggled with anxiety - like, full-on debilitating panic attacks - for years, trying to "hack" around it. It would get better, then I'd relapse. In the end, I finally swallowed my pride, went to a doctor, and followed their advice. If I'd done that years ago, I'd have measurably improved my quality of life for years. Now, I'm just happy I didn't wait longer. Yes, I had some measure of success in "hacking" around my mental health issues, and yes, I was probably better off than if I did nothing. That said, why would you not just use the best tools available?

It's like choosing to write your own text editor from scratch just to code - you can do it, and you'll maybe even learn something, and there's a remote chance that you'll create a better tool than was previously available. Most likely, however, you'll spend years going in circles for no particularly good reason. That's why you seek help: not because you absolutely can't do anything about it yourself, but because, quite honestly, life is too short to waste.

Now, once you regain a measure of control - possibly with the help of therapy, SSRIs, etc. - you're in a position to start talking about "how do I help myself manage this?" Here, however, you're not "hacking" around anything: you're applying well-tested methods (exercise regimens, proper sleep, relaxation / meditation techniques, etc.), possibly in conjunction with SSRIs or therapy, to slowly but surely rebuild your sense of control and agency.

Perhaps in 10 or 20 years, we'll better understand neurobiology and have much better tools to help with mental health issues. Right now, this is what we have.

A preacher once told a story when he was sitting next to the bed of a dying from anorexia girl. She had given up. He told her:
- You have two choices. First choice is to be a rotting corpse by tomorrow, making everybody's life miserable. The second choice to get up and fight, and next year you to be sitting next to a girl like you and help her live.

Depression sucks. In order to take your mind off of it, find a goal and pursue it. Helping others is one of the most universal methods. No matter how bad are you, there are people in worse condition than you. These people will see an angel in you if you show some care. "Be the person you needed when you needed someone"
scale() for example uses attributes to hold on to the parameters used for scaling. Most packages that use attributes provide accessor functions so that the useR doesn't need to concern themselves with how the metadata are stored. I'll grant that people do tend to use lists because the access semantics are easier.
Do you think GPs should be prescribing SSRIs after a 15-minute exam?
I think folks who weren't there might not realize how big a deal the original Unicode standard was and how quickly technology vendors raced to adopt it. Windows NT, for example, must have been developed with Unicode in mind even before the standard was official. In those circumstances the broad adoption of UCS-2 was effectively inevitable.

Even if UTF-8 had been widely known, I don't think the eventual necessity for > 16-bit code points was clear enough to have given it a chance against the relatively easy architectural shift of replacing one fixed-length character encoding with another.
If it's mild, you can do the following:

- Go to sleep and wake up at regular times.

- Make sure you eat sufficiently (dont skip breakfast).

- Make sure you have people to talk to on a regular basis. Isolation makes things worse.

If you are so deep in depression you can hardly function, you probably need to see a specialist ASAP and get professional counsel first before trying to hack anything.
It depends if the age of the kids and what you want to measure as smart.

Kids, when growing, learn stuff, but not in the « same order » as other kids. Some gonna walk early (my sister was 8 1/2 months old), some gonna talk early (my parents told me I was able to discuss with adults at the age of 17 months) etc.. And it’s true for all the abilities. Read soon, draw soon.

It won’t mean that they’ll be good at it later. Just they assimilate it sooner than others.

So some abilities make a kid shines when another might not. Doesn’t mean they won’t be smart later.

There's a great post at Slate Star Codex : http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/06/16/things-that-sometimes-h...

It contains a lot of advice on how to choose a therapist and how to behave with them and what you can otherwise do if you won't go to a therapist.
Useful or creepy!
There aren't really a lot of shortcuts. Start with therapy.
Go and see a doctor. Seriously. Even without this, figure out how to do things you want in life even if you don't feel like it.

I don't know about some of the other advice. Eating habits don't seem to work for me, and following a strict diet makes things worse because I spend a lot of time worrying about food if I do that. Exercise? I've never found any exercise I enjoy when I'm content, let alone trying to get the energy up to actually follow through with it. The only way I can work that in is if I walk as my primary transportation.

Having a structured day helps me a little bit, but this is simply because it doesn't give my brain time to ruminate as much. Meditation seems unbearable if I'm depressed. The sessions themselves aren't so bad, but I obsess with it off and on through the day. Mindfulness just makes me feel anxious because I'm constantly worried that I'm not normal and I can't tell if that is true or not.

Now, the things that have helped keep depression away have been different. I couldn't do this stuff in the depths of depression, but making the changes changed my life outlook. I do get mild depression now, but it doesn't last as long nor feel as bad. I made life changes. I got in a stable, loving relationship after ending a bad one. I moved, which gave me a little more control over myself and how I acted because expectations changed. I did MDMA. Not that this is something for everyone nor actually legal, but it let me parse out some of the things in my head. The weeks after taking were an eye-opener.
> I’ll make a sweeping statement here: all MySQL and MariaDB users who are currently using “utf8” should actually use “utf8mb4”. Nobody should ever use “utf8”.

I completely agree with this sentiment, although I recall being bitten by it in indexes. The article goes on to talk about how big a CHAR(1) is if its utf8 vs utf8mb4. Well, the same applies to varchars and so a varchar(64) is potentially requiring 64, 192 or 384 bytes, depending on the charset. This can bite you because the MySQL query planner limits the longest prefix used for index scans to iirc 767 or so bytes. So I migrated some columns from utf8 to utf8mb4 and suddenly my compound indices stopped being used because the varchar contents could legally exceed that maximum. Something like that.
This is a fascinating tale. But the #1 takeaway by the author is dangerous: "Database systems have subtle bugs and oddities, and you can avoid a lot of bugs by avoiding database systems."

This is correct as far as it goes, but it's poor advice. You may as well say "Software has subtle bugs and oddities, and you can avoid a lot of bugs by avoiding software." True! But not helpful! If you don't need a relational database, then yes, don't use one. But there's nothing specific about databases as a category that deserves a special callout. You can also avoid a lot of bugs by avoiding TLS, containers, threads, coroutines, blocking calls, asynchronous calls, networks, filesystems, operating systems, and computers.

Of additional potential interest to smart folks who like to read is the fact that the author's son is of note as well; he's written a lot of really great long-form journalism, often but not exclusively about aviation as well, both in high-profile magazines and in book form.

That's due to a shorthand added in ES2015 that lets you construct an object where keys are equal to the name of the variable. So that's short for

I also find it interesting, but I'm questioning its (possibly not-so-obvious) meaning: could it be that you should try to distinguish what you really think from what you merely think (in order to avoid saying spurious things maybe)? I find it often surprisingly hard to determine what I really think or feel..
Exercise. CBT. But you should really go see a doctor.
Travel. If you don't have a lot of time, book multiple short trips. Book tickets well in advance, so that when you are depressed all you have to do is take Uber and show up for your flight.

In addition to many of the other great answers here, I would say cleaning your room/house and rearranging the furniture. One of the best things I've found for combating depression is changing my environment. Usually that means getting outside, but the reality is that life keeps most of us inside and at our homes for a non-trivial amount of time. Rearranging the furniture makes your home environment feel new and fresh. Its the first thing I try if I feel depressed.

I hate to be "that guy" but I have pretty serious problems with the site and your response here. Respectfully, you're admitting that you're not doing the thing the website principally claims. It doesn't matter what you intended - the site is claiming that it aggregates pretrained models.

Not only does it not do that, but it apparently only scrapes third party resources with little to no manual oversight in whether or not the e.g. code repository even contains a pretrained model. But wait: your plan going forward is to offload the moderation onto users?! So instead of being responsible for the content, the users (who ostensibly came to your site because they couldn't find what they were looking for) are now obligated to do due diligence. What's the difference between this and just searching GitHub for paper titles or keywords?

The final issue I have is more meta. I don't really see the value of the site as implemented. Why are you automatically scraping all of these resources? Why don't you curate them yourself and demonstrate that competency to the community? As it stands this is blatantly misleading and seems like a transparent attempt to cash in views for buzzwords, regardless of whether or not the user is ultimately helped by the content.

Sorry for being harsh, but this is kind of brazenly inept. I can understand that automatically scraping these resources gives you a lot of leeway to scale up inclusion to make it more viable. However you really can't just turn on a scraper, direct it at a few keywords and tell your users to sort it out. Users will want this site to make their lives easier instead of wading into the complexity themselves. You're not reducing that complexity, you're just adding another layer of abstraction to it.
Java 1.0 was made back in the days when "65K characters would be enough for anyone!" hence they chose UCS-2. Java only supported UTF-16 as of Java 5. I suspect that if they could turn back time, they would have chosen UTF-8 from the get-go, but, as you say, that was a battle lost long ago.
I think best advice would be to see a doctor. Depression is not a game and not something to take lightly!

While I agree with a lot of the other commenters, it seems like they would be more appropriate in a "Healthy lifeStyle choices for programmers" thread. .02
> Empty tuple acts as a singleton, that is, there is always only one tuple with a length of zero…But that doesn't apply to lists since they can be modified.

Well, you can get this to work with a copy-on-write implementation. I don't know enough about the Python runtime to decide whether that's feasible or not.

> The article shows a different view: total wages dropped as a percentage of GDP from 50% post-WWII to 42% in 2011

The article and I are in agreement on this narrow point. Wages as a fraction of GDP are down. Wages, themselves, are up.

Broadly, I disagree with the assertion that our economy's growth is unusually debt-fueled. Total debt as a fraction of GDP is worryingly high [1]. Strip out financial sector indebtedness, however, and we're where we were in the 80s. Household debt explains a relatively narrow slice of recent GDP growth.

> With utf-16 you can get O(1) string operations at a cost of doing them on code points rather than graphemes.

No you cannot. UTF-16 is a variable-length encoding (up to two 16-bit code units per code point).

> I think a lot of people totally discount the enormous cost that Latin-1 users are paying for CJK (etc) support they don’t use.

If we limit ourselves to Latin 1, UTF-16 requires 100% more memory than UTF-8. How often do you need to randomly access a long string anyway?

I think you're comparing to a fictional version of the civil rights movement, not the actual response it received. Note the past tense; I'm sure you meant "MLK", not the modern civil rights movement. Let's dig into that.

The most recent major civil rights protest is the kneeling protest during NFL games - black (and some white) players taking a knee rather than standing during the national anthem, to protest racism and state violence against black people. And millions of white Americans are furious. Players are being punished for it. The president refuses to meet with a team (that interestingly, had no kneelers before). The vast majority of white Americans disapprove of this protest.

The nature of the protest? Black men, sitting quietly, saying nothing, breaking no laws, for about two minutes. And white America is furious.

Remember that past tense thing? MLK was assassinated a half a century ago. And we're still fighting for civil rights, although white America tends to think of it as a past tense thing where there was no violence and everyone agreed.

Now, take this lesson and apply it to sexism.

I have made my only available mode of transportation to work (which takes me approximately 50 minutes at a fair clip) a bicycle. The regular exercise helps a lot.

Another big one is taking the time to figure out what triggers your depression. If it's seasonal, try some lights. If it's stress-related, try one of the well-established ways of combating that: If you're very energetic some kind of combat sport works well, otherwise something more calm like meditation. Try anything that sounds like it might work, and try not to worry too much if it doesn't. There's plenty of other options.

If you're a worrier, having a reasonably rigid schedule could work well. Go to sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, have lunch at the same time.

Edit: Another thing that works well is setting (very) small goals for yourself and accepting that that can be the only thing you do that day (eg "I'm going to take the laundry out of the hamper and put it in the washer"). If it's really bad, I've found that is literally the only thing that will help.
