Was covering the bases as I'm not familiar with the US primary care system - here in Australia a general practitioner can refer you for CBT and start antidepressants themselves, but I'm not sure how that extrapolates around the world.

For what it's worth, antidepressants have a very valid part to play in the treatment of depression, as do various other psychopharmacologies. I've taken medication for performance anxiety in the past and it helped me overcome some real challenges.

That said, talk therapy with a good psychologist is also very useful both alone and in combination with drugs.
Extra dimension were part of string theory right from the start. The idea that everything comes from vibrating strings cannot work if you only consider the four-dimensional relativistic spacetime.

(The maths behind it is awful complex btw, I only have some second-hand knowledge thanks to my SO being a differential geometry geek and reading a bit of Yau's book The Shape of Inner Space)
If you have also tried the Japanese IME on macOS, how does it compare to the Windows version in your opinion?
I too expect a higher standard of honesty, but we still get people being dishonest about their intentions. They couch it in peculiar questions and playing devil's advocate. Then when a light is shined upon their behavior, they feign ignorance.

It is a problem.
>The first is a feeling (or a will). People can vote for or against it. The second is presented as a reasoned argument based on facts, which nobody of the masses can really verify (and none did, before the fact).

It is verifiable though, at least in principle. WMDs either exist or they do not. Feelings have no comparable feature.

Lived in London during and slightly after university: it's not. City's pretty much dominated by cars, there's technically a transit system but it was slow and infrequent, and the way the city is laid out with three major N/S and three major E/W roads makes it hard to get around during constructions season. Downtown is...kind of walkable, but it's bordering on a food desert with only one (expensive) grocery store at the edge of the core.
I can't find "Angel's Glow" in any post/pre war newspapers / academia.

I'm guessing it's a mutation of the original 2000 legend spreading.

It's hard to search on, but glowing wounds comes up blank pre-2000 AFAICS.

It'd be interesting to interview the original kids, pretty sure it's a clever hack.

It's possible having mum in glowing bacteria means they might hear things differently and accidently caused the legend, but still, I'd like to think they were crafty.

It's also a great example how people just don't fact check stuff no matter how out there it is. Science has a long way to go.

The idea is interesting. B2B: I think that historical trends, especially on a seasonal basis might be quite useful for news and travel agencies, real estate offices, and general economic analysis.
Yup, and reassuring them that they didn't do anything wrong.
I was discussing this with my Catalan friend, that from the outside world their declaration of independence looks comical, because Catalonia doesn't act like a real country in any shape or form, unlike Somaliland here.

Now I get it that Catalonia is inside a powerful state and you can't just do "country things", but still.
Antidepressants are a first-line therapy. They're often very helpful in enabling people to make the changes that will help them improve their long-term health. They're excessively stigmatized however, which is incredibly unfortunate.
It's like the academic version of being scolded about running into the street. You surely will not make those mistakes again. I remember my dissertation the same way. They weren't abusive, but they were not going to sugar coat when I was simply wrong. Felt pretty intense to be grilled like that but boy did it teach me a lot.
AntennaGate was way overblown. The GSM iPhone 4 was sold for four years without a redesign. The unreliable keyboard - yeah that's a real issue.
I like how SEO articles like this one are trying so desperately to not seem like SEO scumlording anymore due to everybody realising over the past few years that it's mainly a very grimy/scummy industry full of fraud and grubbers. Go look at the google trend for "SEO" [1] (isn't very statistically rigorous, but y'know...).

Effects of Side effects
Access to low level memory such as registers is always explicitly requested with the volatile keyword. All other memory is implementation details. C is far from being a human readable assembly and has never been, except accidentally.

Even the old language spec from 1989 talks about an "abstract machine with the expressions being evaluated as specified by the semantics". One of the first chapters 1.2 Scope makes this very clear and then 2.1.2.3 Program execution clarifies this even further. Other things to note is that the spec doesn't mention variables being ever stored on the stack, instead it's called automatic storage, see "Storage durations of objects", the word stack is not even mentioned once throughout the whole spec.

Today with modern CPUs all this is even more important, if you think you are operating on a global memory array you are doing it wrong.
However, a common lament in these towns is that housing costs are increasing as people move there from the cities.

If they are popular that is a good reason to build more of them.
You could say the same regarding investing and moving back about Mogadishu, where the UN puppet government has its capital and it is not safe. People just have real affection for their home.
> I was bullied, something which I now blame on my lack of normal social defenses.

Don't do that, it's not healthy, I'm speaking from personal experience.
Being bullied often boils down to just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Nothing particular about you was "bully worthy", you were just the supposedly "weakest link" in a social hierarchy constructed by pretty much all young humans: Everybody has people above and under them.

This is the result of people being shitty parents and teaching their children "I can do whatever I want to you because you are a child and I'm an, physically much bigger, adult. I don't need to argue with you, I will just make you do it!"

When kids take this same logic back to social interactions with other kids (I'm bigger than you, that's why I can force you to do things!) it's bound to result in bullying and the "weakest" ending up under the wheels.

This behavior then extends into adulthood where the hierarchy isn't strictly based on physical size/age anymore.

So there's no reason to blame yourself, or bullies, for the person you are today. That's just making excuses for self-pity, a lot of time has passed since then, don't mourn what you might have missed out on, rather realize what you learned instead and make that a new positive feature.
It doesn't really seem to work. The newsmap doesn't have any content.

Also it's a little strange that you're only able to search for streets, not general areas or cities.

It’s interesting that you mentioned underrepresented groups — that wasn’t what I was thinking.

I more meant that in rural / suburban American it can be really hard to have a community if you’re interests or beliefs are not mainstream to that area.

If you’re vegan, you like frisbee, long-form board games, medieval architecture, unusual (in America) world sports, have non-mainstream religious or political views, want to attend tech meetups, etc.

Near large culture hubs, despite the fact that racism or bias exists in cities just like it exists everywhere, you can find a community no matter what itbis that you love or value ir what to try or identify with.

Speaking from experience growing up in small town Midwest and Louisiana, both in rural areas and small cities, and then living in the Midwest as an adult, this is not true unless you’re right in a big city. Sure, there’s the usual superficial politeness granted to you even if you are “weird” relative to the area, but really it’s obvious your mere existence makes people uncomfortable and your hobbies or views or whatever “aren’t right.”

Small communities don’t tolerate wide varieties of weirdness (incidentally, Paul Graham has spoken about how this is a mainfactor that allows a city to develop into a successful tech center).

So, sure. If you “fit in” and all you want in life is the particular set of options that the one small town offers and people mostly see you as One Of Them, then it’s fine.

But this is obviously not scalable to a large group of people, who will have all kinds of conflicting weirdness.
On the "Open Source" issue, they seem to be trying to keep a careful balance. They're doing the ideal thing and fully freeing a decent amount of stuff. But they have VC investors, so they have to pay them off with an exit sometime. And that fact on its own is the compromising thing that means they won't likely do just-enough to keep their own sustainable funding. They need to get profit not just pay all the team well.

I'd like to see them at least become a Benefit Corp or similar to trust more that they won't end up selling out in some worse way that goes against the Open Source values they largely but incompletely embrace.
Hands down: T,W,X,L-ThinkPad-Series from Lenovo are IMO still the sweet spot.

The keyboard is the best, the trackpad is ok but far away from macs, the battery life is meh but good enough with an extended battery.

But what I value most is: it's a sturdy thing.
You will not break it as easily as other laptops.
It will not get hot and burn your legs. Most models can be opened, cleaned and upgraded.
Depends on the Model, but you can get ALL the ports you need!
And, AND the freaking docking station. I have one at home and one at work and I just put the Laptop in the Docking station and I get all the ergonomics of a desktop Computer (because of external screen and so on).
It's true, they are not what IBM used to build. But as I said IMO still the best for people who want to get stuff done and value hipness very little.

XPS are cool and all but for me it's more for people who value the hip parts of a mac, like shiny and cool, but fundamentally they only got the better looks.
Even to think that it's a matter of a shopping list of elements is reductive. Architecture is holistic. While it's obviously great to be made aware of and be able to analyse various standard components and their relationships, components/patterns are not the story. It's not engineering.
6 person team.

Based on what I previously learnt at Big Internet Company, I created a slack channel to log all meeting decisions so that we could quickly refer back to it. Only works for stuff up to about a month old but is good enough for sprint retrospectives, planning and OKRs. (and then a few months later I realised we were still using the free version... but anyway).

More rigid stuff like coding style guides, design patterns, API docs, design specs were saved in a SaaS that's basically a Basecamp-clone.

Previously I would have tasks, bugs and feature requests, TODOs and FIXMEs, etc. written up as a repo issue (GitHub/Bitbucket) till I realised no one bothered reading them. So I moved them to the Basecamp-clone backlog instead so at least the project manager might glance at them.

No but this is such a pattern in human history. Don't fight war, sell the weapons. Don't mine bitcoin, sell the cards. Don't start a startup, start a meta-startup (startup about startups). Easy $$$! Basically be the parasitic side-liner supplying to the often-fruitless follies of mankind.

Who was going to come out with an iPhone like device?

Microsoft - they were invested in making a Windows based phone.

Google - the first concept of Android was a BlackBerry like device.

RIM - RIM was poo pooing the idea of a touch screen phone two or three years after the iPhone was out.

The App Store wasn't really that much of an innovation. The carriers had app stores selling downloadable J2ME apps before the iPhone came out. I was on Sprint back then.

You didn't submit the link though. When a journalist does a quick search of their email to see what correspondence there's been before they won't see you. They'll see Eggradients, and whatever Eggradients put in that initial submission. That might be something great. Equally it might be terrible. Imagine if it said "Eggradients client ACME STARTUP is really good. Please contact Eggradients if you would like to know more!" Do you really want that to be the first contact your startup has with the media?

>We can't let our children out of our sights in modern cities they're so dangerous. That's madness!

That has nothing to do with cars and everything to do with culture. I grew up roaming freely on streets filled with cars in the 70s/80s.

Banning cars won't fix helicopter parenting.
I mean, they do not illustrate when qubits have become entangled. You can't see that. I'm sure we can do better.

I'm the same, when I look at some of the comments here it sounds rather joyless.
He's not an average help-desk guy, but he's not a first rate researcher either. He produced some good lattice qft work in the late 70s/early 80s, then worked unsuccessfully on Chern-Simons theory for a while. Since then he hasn't produced any papers. For a PhD researcher, this is basically 'failure to launch'. (And to be fair, this is probably the most common outcome for STEM PhDs.)
But the linked startup is about SEO, i.e. spamming/abusing these communities to generate links, by offering a paid service for it.

EDIT: I understand your comment now, yes it is. How this startup got funded I have no idea, it's a decade-old SEO "sh*tlording" technique :/

Do not waste 2 minutes on this, because those problems are no reflection on your abilities.

Please try to understand this. People who invented these algorithms, took years to arrive at working solutions with several years of academic career behind them.

You and I are not going to crack the solutions to these algorithms in hours.

Those who do, build upon memorized patterns. If you consider this algorithm ability you might as well start handing fields medal prize to every joe who has memorized multiplication tables.
Meh, probably I didn't save it.
The existence of Somaliland tends to come up in any in-depth article discussing Somalia's problems. Somalian piracy flared up around 2005 and more or less completely died off around 2013. Similarly, al-Shabab peaked around 2012. This means that Somalia has kept out of the news for half a decade, which reduces the opportunities to find out about Somaliland and Puntland [the region of Somalia next to Somaliland that has a stable, functioning government but doesn't claim independence].

The main reason that most countries refuse to recognize Somaliland is that the current thinking is that letting it be independent would harm the process of putting Somalia back together again after it fell apart in 1991.

How to Pass the CBAP Exam Using BABOK and an Exam Simulator?
As the owner of a whole house fan + evaporative cooler, and someone who lives in a city where hundreds of thousands of people own and operate them, I invite Mr. Kaufman to visit Albuquerque, to watch them in everyday operation, where we've been swamping it up for over 50 years. It's a bit bizarre to read about it as if it's a brand new theory.

Let me clear up a few misconceptions:
You put the fan on the inlet next to the "pad" where the water soaks in (nowadays usually located at a central point on the roof). This works a lot better than a single outlet point for a number of reasons, not least of which the source of air can be made to have reduced dust. (Imagine a leaf blower or old diesel next to a window on a structure with negative pressure).

There are never circumstances where a whole-house fan is made less effective with humidification. It may be no more effective, but for those 100% humid nights where it's cool enough to cool down the house, the swamp still runs. In humid environments, it may warm up the house at night (due to temperatures, not humidity), which is why swamps don't get used in most places.

The Loneliness Epidemic and How to Make Friends as an Adult
I quickly audited all the courses a few months ago, I find OSSU to be much easier to grasp than teachyourselfcs.com because it doesn't always use modern day MOOC's which makes learning things way quicker

You can learn things by a book sure. But if you go on a udemy or coursea or whatever course, there's always Q/A comments with other people working on the same course and that insight is extremely invaluable so this is why I prefer OSSU over teachyourselfcs.com. I prefer MOOC's because there's also some level of accountability as well, you can go for the certificates too but I don't really care too much about them.

OSSU does have way too many topics just pick 80% of them and you should be okay, depending on what your weaknesses are.

Some course overlap in both so you should focus on those first and foremost. These include things like nand2tetris, 3blue1brown's linear algebra, data structures & algorithms (various choices, sedgewick, skienna, etc).

Do your homework on reddit threads as well before picking one or the other.

I like OSSU because it also tells you what the prereqs are clearly as well.

Currently doing nand2tetris because I have a lack of hardware knowledge and the course is fantastic. Also doing a lot of math courses so I can do mathmatical proofs much easier to understand why one algorithm is better than another, or how to derive it based on whoever invented it etc. I prefer a traditional book for math though, but everything else I prefer MOOC's.

i find it disheartening to know that so many autistic women end up in the sex industry or related fields. the problem is that girls are given too much room to do whatever they please because the expectation still is that they will become hired just to talk to people. but since autistics are bad at this, this is not going to happen. because autistics being undisciplined by nature on top of this their chances of learning a trade by themselves are low. so this is how they end up. maybe they also like this better than normal women, however the fact is that it remains shitty work.
Some types of company see penalties (or cleanup cost) as a cost of doing business. If they make > $10k to incur $10k in costs, then it works out.

It's a faulty way of seeing things, but businesses like that tend to have a fog around them. They don't see the icebergs coming.

How are such cache-timing attacks an issue in statically-compiled chunks of code, given that there is good isolation between the kernel and separate processes?

I was fascinated to learn about Western Sahara when I drove through.

It was at one point a fully-fledged country, now it's listed by the UN as an "occupied territory". i.e. Morocco invaded and have taken over. They're adamant it's simply Morocco, and they get really mean to anyone that says otherwise, or even if you have a map that shows it as a separate country.

Driving through it's just like you never left Morocco, except there are military roadblocks every 100km, there is a lot of new construction, and gas is noticeably cheaper than the rest of Morocco (i.e. Morocco attempting to spur development and help "claim" it)

It's fascinating to me a country can be invaded and occupied by their neighbor and the world does nothing about it.
