It may help in the moment, but any action that reinforces the (faulty) belief that your obsessive thoughts are relevant and worth paying attention to will worsen OCD over time.

The right approach is to teach yourself to be OK with the uncertainty of the door being locked or not. This is what behavioral therapy for OCD, specifically ERP, aims to do.
I agree with your latter two points, but I must take issue with your first point about mental health. I've posted some links below for your further reading which can explain the stressors better than I can, but graduate school is a breeding ground for mental health problems -- you have constant pressure to always be working (often up to 80-100 hours a week), constantly comparing yourself intellectually to other graduate students, and dealing with the overbearing reminder that you need to take a candidacy exam and defend your thesis. As a poster above said, 30% is absolutely not normal for society as a whole. Most articles point out the dearth of students who seek help, which I don't think is uncommon, but what is uncommon is the additional stressors.

I don't know if you've been through a PhD program, but as someone who has, it's really difficult to explain the pressures and stress that you encounter during it to someone who hasn't.

You certainly raise interesting points that I agree with, but "I" am definitely not a 100% representation of my brain.

"I", in the sense of my ego and my perception of myself, will want things that my brain doesn't want.

A morbid example of this is holding your breath. I don't think there's ever been a documented case of someone able to hold their breath beyond the point where their brain forces their airway to open!

Anyone got data? Prices change over time.

The best I could do in 5 minutes googling was newspapers complaining that, on average, men still pay more... because they drive (on average) further, in more expensive cars.

And rumours that they are setting the rates for different professions as a way to get around the rule... huge differences like this:

Dental Nurse Less than 1pc male £840
Solicitor 59pc male £848
Sports and leisure assistants 56pc male £880
Civil engineer 92pc male £910
Social worker 21pc male £920
Plasterer 98pc male £950

I had an idea that retirement annuities etc, which are a much bigger deal, were much more regulated & could only price based on a few numbers. But I don't have a link.

I'm in the process of building a Philips Hue-compatible light therapy LED strip that goes above my bed, and I chose 500 nm cyan LEDs due to this concern. The goal is to have the lights gradually wake me up every morning and help align my sleep cycles, as I suffer from Delayed Phase Sleep Disorder.

Figure 3[0] in the paper seems to show that 500 nm is safe, and that melanopsin has high absorption at 500nm, which has important effects on circadian rhythm[1].

Anyone more knowledgable than me know if this setup is safe?

> "It is true that people chase citations, but only because they are a surrogate for impact."

I think the author would agree, although he is making the distinction between impact in academic circles vs impact in society. His claim is that impact in academic circles has become out of touch with impact in society.

> If anything, when I meet people in industry they often think non-practical research isn't worth doing even if it might have long-term value.

Is there a way to measure how much non-practical research ends up having long-term value? Intuitively, the marginal utility of a 115th definition of a circular economy doesn't seem worth the academic man power yet that is what the author is being incentivized to work on because citation culture in academia.

"When the public discovers they can vote themselves money from the public treasury, the [American] experiment will be over"-Tocqueville 1838
The risk-of-death is actually quite well understood. If a user gets too much insulin, and doesn't feel when their blood sugar is low and doesn't get a low-blood-sugar alarm or doesn't respond to the alarm, then they could die. So if the closed-loop system incorrectly commands too high a dose of insulin, that could be fatal.

But the alternative isn't that too-high doses of insulin never happen. The alternative is that all insulin doses are selected by a human, and subject to human error. And having a low blood sugar event due to too much insulin is not a rare occurrence for T1 diabetics at all.

Ask HN: Do you cover the camera/mic on your computer/phone?
I know a lot of people who cover the camera on their laptop, but I don't know anyone who takes steps to disable the microphone, or who disables the camera/mic on their phones.

I understand that cameras on computers could capture lots of sensitive/embarrassing/incriminating information, but it seems like microphones would actually be worse in many cases. Also, since we carry our phones with us more than we carry our computers, the sensors on these devices are probably potential targets as well.

Do people block these other sensors and I just don't know about it? Or is it just too difficult from a practical perspective to block these sensors?

Well, most migraine triggers are basically oxidative stress (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/head.12725), and it is impossible to avoid oxidative stress since even simply burning glucose contributes to it.
The article you link is severely wrong about both numba and Cython. I frequently use Cython to quickly wrap calls to other C++ implementations of tools I want to try and have a working Python module in a matter of minutes, and I have almost no knowledge of C++.

Modern numba can also do a lot more for huge scale projects than what the article suggests.

Julia docs also seem very smugly proud of multiple dispatch and autogenerating implementations for multiple types or signatures.

But Cython fused types allow the exact same polymorphic multiple dispatch. Here’s an example pedagogical project illustrating that point.

< https://github.com/spearsem/buffersort >

This pattern is quite easy and offers a lot of generic strategies in Cython, especially if you just want a bunch of overload options in a pure C backend with a thin entrypoint to Python.
Interesting; when I got 2 new pair of eyeglasses last month, again I fell for the usual "buy all the coatings" spiel. I didn't much understand what they were, but I was told one causes refractions that bother some people.

I absolutely notice a blue refraction from car headlights when driving at night. I keep thinking I'm seeing a police light from somewhere. It's fine, just interesting. Well, after looking at a few lens coating websites, and realizing my lenses reflect blue light back at me if I have a light source to reflect, they're obviously blocking blue light -- cool!

I've never been much for f.lux style color shifting, I HATE the obviously inaccurate colors. I also wonder if we'll find that some of these technologies don't work nearly as well as a blue filter, and that perhaps the light just LOOKS less blue.

But I'm sure glad to have glasses that now block some blue light. Also, it validates my desire to keep the blinds open at work; I have LOTS of light coming into my cubicle area. Sometimes it's even a bit annoying but keeping my pupils small should help.
They have curation, which is something Steam explicitly lacks, and that makes it pretty bad for discovering new games (or so people say - I've always had on-point recommendations from Steam). I honestly expected to read that Discord is partnering with Steam to allow you to buy games on Steam on their client while also curating the list of games you can buy. Though obviously that way they don't get the same share from each sell, but it would have simplified things a lot for them.

They may not be able to build a better game store platform than Steam, but they might fit into building a better curated store.

Every faculty member I spoke to in undergrad told me very clearly that a PhD was bad for my career, enormously stressful and risky, and led to a faculty job search that was likely to fail. I was told not to pursue it unless I desperately wanted to be a faculty member. The most common advice I got was "don't do it".

This wasn't because I was a shitty candidate. I was accepted to four of the top five schools.

It's a mixed bag whether you will get good advice I guess.
The TCP congestion control algorithm depends on dropped packets to calculate bandwidth. TCP will send more and more packets per second until they start dropping, then it will back off.

If there is a huge buffer, it will take a while for packets to start dropping, so the congestion control algorithm won't function optimally--it won't respond fast enough and lower the rate it sends packets until the buffer is full and packets start dropping. Once the buffer is full, packets have to wait in line in the buffer until they can be sent along so they take longer to get to their destination.

Eventually the buffer empties, but then the TCP congestion control algorithm starts increasing the rate it's sending packets and starts the problem over again. You end up with a very variable latency--depending on where in the cycle you are.

Be warned! Type 1 diabetics, after they are first diagnosed and treated, have a "honeymoon period" in which their body is able to produce insulin and everything is fine. But you are NOT cured, and you will need insulin again in the future.

> I never bought a NES or these ROMs and I can still play them in this webpage.

That is no argument. This website would be entirely above-board with one simple change: it buys N copies of each game, and ensures that only N people are playing at a time. That makes it, legally, a library. Libraries already make "digital loans"; and libraries already loan out game discs. This would just combine the two.

> hypocrites who would be the first defensors of IP concept if the object of debate was their own IP

No, this debate comes from people like 4am, who has de-protected 40-year-old abandonware games by defunct companies (https://archive.org/details/apple_ii_library_4am&tab=about) for the sake of allowing people to play them at all in the future, because if nothing is done, the disks will soon rot and no copies will be left in existence.

The developers and publishers of these games frequently come to 4am and thank him for de-protecting these games. Because they never thought they'd see them again. That is not the stance of someone who resents having "their IP" shared with the world.
It's a journey. :) Do not expect "one grand tool" but as you've noted, all of these things are pointed in the same direction.
The real problem is that if 80% of your audience is in the walled garden, and no more than 10% of your audience is on any one of the many other alternatives, you're kind of stuck if you want to reach as many of them as possible easily.
It's a far bigger problem for satellite internet. The base RTT on satellite connections is far higher; think 500ms instead of 20ms. This means that any packet loss takes longer to recover from, which in turn means that there's a big incentive for the satellite provider to always buffer packets and never to drop them. Satellite internet also tends to be relatively slow compared to fixed line. It's a lot easier to trigger massive levels of bufferbloat on a 1Mbps connection than a 50Mbps one.

(I used to work on TCP acceleration boxes that among other things eliminated bufferbloat in satellite networks. But it's a far easier problem to solve when you're on the correct side of the bottleneck link.)

A binary package will be available in CRAN for a given platform/version only if it works (it passes all the tests). It seems that Julia lets you install a non-working package without any warning (you will probably get errors when you run it, but I guess it may also fail silently which is worse).

Nightscout absolutely would not get through FDA approvals today if for nothing other than catastrophic failures. I love the features and think it's way more robust than what is provided by Dexcom, but at the end of the day, I switched back to Dexcom's receiver and app because it doesn't crash.

OpenAPS is great, but requires a level of research and effort than many patients aren't capable of. Then on top of this OpenAPS has this nice disclaimer as an opener, "By proceeding to use these tools or any openaps repositories, you agree to abide by the copyright agreement and release any contributors from any liability."

Now I understand why that statement is there, but when someone dies using this "product" that hasn't been approved by the FDA; well let's just say I hope all parties involved have really good umbrella policies, because I'm not too sure that's going to hold up in a court of law.

This is definitely not normal in the humanities. Want to continue working next year? Win this annual contest for your subfield that 800 other people are also applying for. It will cover your costs for 5 months if you win, after you spend an entire month preparing your submission for it. Didn't win this time? I guess you'll have to spend 20 hours per week every week on course prep readings and grading essays for the next six months. Good luck getting your research done at the same time.

Humanities PhDs also on average take significantly longer than STEM PhDs. 7 years post BA is normal in the humanities. 5 years post BS is normal in STEM. Guess where all that extra time goes.

Does cannabis actually prevent migraines or help after they started? I would be interested in reading the peer reviewed studies on the effectiveness of cannabis in preventing migraines.

I am skeptical of anecdote because half of my family is Mexican and the grandmothers on that side of the family are convinced that being cold causes colds or that homeopathy actually works. But in reality it’s just quite literally old wives tales not backed by any reputable, reproducible studies.

To be clear, I am not disputing that cannabis could have some beneficial effects, but the science should be there before we start suggesting that government is up to some conspiracy to boost pharma profits.

Am marijuana is still illegal in most EU countries — so don’t blame pharma for not manufacturing and testing cannabis medications, blame the democratically elected EU governments for trying to “protect” people from making their own decisions about what to ingest.
