When I found out my girlfriend was pregnant, I had just lost my shirt on a startup. I couldn't find a job and often had to resort to the absolute cesspool of the consulting world, just to keep a roof over my head.

I likely understand exactly how you feel. If it's anything like how I felt, I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I'm really sorry. Just putting myself in your shoes gave me a pit in my stomach - the same pit I walked around with for months. My email is in my profile. Feel free to reach out...

I wish I had something amazing to say that would just turn things around. The best pragmatic advice I have is that newborns are really cheap, and you're pretty lucky to have the opportunity to be with your wife throughout the pregnancy.

And finally, for the love of all that is holy, enjoy sleep while you can get it. Having a baby is kind of like being hungover for a whole year...

Be safe, best of luck and seriously bud, Happy Father's Day!!

If money is way too tight, reach out. I'd kiss you on the lips if you'd take all my baby stuff. :)

Ethics, supposedly.
I would highly recommend any Zachtronics game to anyone who enjoys programming as a hobby.

Exapunks this time around was lovely, along the same vein as TIS-100 and Shenzen I/O, less like Spacechem/Opus Magnum/Infinifactory (which I would still highly recommend.) Going back further, I'll add http://www.zachtronics.com/ruckingenur-ii/ and http://www.zachtronics.com/kohctpyktop-engineer-of-the-peopl... as notable Zachtronics games to enjoy.

I regret not listening to people’s advice about this sooner and spending a lot of time looking for the best Haskell IDE / development tools. In the end, everybody else was right and unfortunately, the current state of the available tools is not good enough. The process that most people seem to use, and the one I also adopted is using my favorite text editor with syntax highlighting.

Wonderful. That's like driving a Lamborghini with a school bus steering wheel.

> why should I be fired

I didn't say you should be fired. I said I would be OK with you quitting voluntarily.

Also, we have had much higher incremental tax rates in the past (notably in the 40 years between the end of WWII and Reagan, and the U.S. economy did just fine, so I see no reason that should be any different now.
Congratulations OP, really happy for your improvements. I had my fair share of dark days, but whenever that happens, I believed that it happened to me because I am strong and I can handle that. I am sure whatever happens to you is a prove that you are stronger than you think you are.

I used to live alone on a very low salary. When the money ran out, I started to drink tap water (which arent really drinkable on my region), and just eating cheap biscuits.

It was only few days before my next month payroll, I was sad that it happened to me, I dont want to borrow money, and i felt so alone that time.

I just prayed, and that night someone delivered a food to me as they were celebrating something. Tomorrow and after I also got food, enough until my payday.

Staying positive is the only way for us to defeat depression. Happy days are like sunny days, it is easy to seek the sun. Our down times are dark night, we just need to seek a little harder to see the beauty of the stars.

Hope OP and everyone else is always in good condition and happy.
What it is when people say “Think by heart”
I am not sure is it right place to ask this or not but is there any scientist here which can explain this.

we heard lots of people say "think by hear not brain" in some situation.

but we all know there is no neurons in heart. Is there any scientific explanation about above ?

because it is true that in some situation we have to solution

At the risk of sounding nationalistic, I think companies in the United States and other democratic countries should reconsider any and all business relationships with authoritarian regimes like those in China and Russia. And I say regimes because most "companies" in these countries are really just instruments of the state.

There may be money to be made, but not only are companies like Google tightening these authoritarian regimes' grips on millions and billions of people, but they are undermining the foundations of democracy by strengthening those who choose to crush it in their own countries.

I have no business of my own to withdraw from China or Russia. But if I did, I would look to send my investments to Taiwain, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand instead.

It's not something that would/should explain the difference between USA and, say, Europe - the exact same things you mention as a possible holdover from the great depression of 1920s are also observed elsewhere as a holdover from the generation experiencing food scarcity/rationing/starvation in WW2 and the aftermath of it; UK or Germany had food issues into the 1950s but it doesn't have the same effect on obesity as in USA.
> A student came to him, a beautiful 13-year-old girl, who said she wanted to be part of his theater group performing William Shakespeare’s plays. It would have been an ordinary request, save for the reality that the young girl had advanced cystic fibrosis and had been told she had only a brief time to live.

and then...

> She went on to become one Shakespearean heroine after another, each role performed with more emotional depth and strength than the one before. Years have now passed since she played Juliet. Against all expectations and medical prognoses, she has entered college, where she is pursuing a dual degree in medicine and theater, in which she will continue to “pass over” into one role after another.

> That young woman’s exceptional example is not so much about whether the mind and heart can overcome the limitations of the body...

I don't understand this. Is the writer implying that 'advanced cystic fibrosis' is a limitation of the body and not a real disease, and so she was able to 'beat it' by immersing herself in reading and drama?

The 2 statements - "she had only a brief time to live" and "Years have now passed since she played Juliet. Against all expectations and medical prognoses" completely contradict each other. Did she 'beat the disease' (which seems improbable) or was she misdiagnosed in the first place?

They have a nice theory that the spacecraft won't melt when it gets close to the sun, but do they really know for sure? NASA doesn't succeed on every mission. It is possible something will go wrong, and the probe will melt.
> “anyone who has read 'hillbilly elegy' can relate to: in small communities, sometimes there is a cone of silence which is really strong, and quite at odds with what we think of as "the law"”

I both read Hillbilly Elegy and also grew up in a small rural Ohio town near Kentucky, very much in the epicenter of the book’s described culture.

I don’t think the book or rural culture has any type of “cone of silence” like that. People do take the law into their own hands more often, but are usual quite loudmouth about it, especially to outsiders and law enforcement.

If anything, I think this type of culture breeds an entitlement complex where people believe their armchair opinions about local justice ought to be treated as serious matters of policy and law, and are more than happy to run their mouths about it and express anger at local law enforcement using accepted standards in an investigation.
Speaking as someone who has lived through dark days myself...

I want to point out that we know that exercise helps with moods. The data is there. That being said, mood disorders are like autoimmune diseases of the emotions. Feeling blue or anxious or clinically depressed makes it harder to work out.

And if you don't, you can easily beat yourself up for not "fixing yourself."

On the other side of the fence, lots of people self-report that exercise helped them. And it did. But what sometimes gets missed is that they were already starting to get better, and what motivated them to exercise was that they were already feeling better.

So it's not as simple as "correlation does not equal causation," but there can be BOTH correlation and causation at work when you exercise and feel better.

I say all this mainly because some folks have real trouble getting the motivation together to exercise when feeling down. Same with personal hygiene, appearance, eating well, and so forth. If anyone reading this knows intellectually that they ought to exercise, but just can't, please know that you are not unusual, this is what mood disorders do.

But also know that there are many things that can help, so find the thing you can do—be it CBT, anti-depressants, whatever—and you will get yourself to a place where you are better able to do self-care like exercise.

I check it as much as HN. I was very late to HN as no one informed me of its existance and I never noticed slashdot was dying until I saw people on HN say that. I like both since you get different results from a pure upvotes based setup and an editorial board based setup suplemented by upvotes like you see with slashdot.
I beat this last night. It's easier than TIS-100 (no 9 instruction limits!) and Shenzhen I/O, following the general polishing trend of Zachtronics games becoming more beatable. SpaceChem (their first puzzle game) was stupidly difficult [1] [2].

This is opposite of the productive approach. The starting point should be "what diet can you eat that makes you feel satisfied after the appropriate amount of calories for your body/lifestyle".

The proportion of carbs in the diet seems to have a huge effect on appetite for many people. For them, eating fewer carbs means they are satisfied after fewer calories, so they eat less and lose weight.

If nutrition research was scientific they would have figured this out before a couple authors and random people with blogs did.
How far are we from graphene economy ?
Makes me think of this case from the early 80s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_McElroy

("Over the course of his life, McElroy was accused of dozens of felonies, including assault, child molestation, statutory rape, arson, hog and cattle rustling, and burglary." ... "McElroy was shot to death in broad daylight as he sat with his wife Trena in his pickup truck on Skidmore's main street. He was struck by bullets from at least two different firearms, in front of a crowd of people estimated as between 30 and 46. To date, no one has been charged in connection with McElroy's death.")

The lens doesn’t change stagnant wages, health care and housing being out of reach, and income inequality.

So your position is that anyone should have the right to place any artifact of commerce they want on a public way, so long as it’s novel enough to not be regulated?

Please reconsider what you’re saying from a pragmatic point of view.
In terms of Emacs packages, thoughts about the best lisp parens package?
No, I'm still requesting the A/AAAA records at the normal TTL rate. This doesn't expose useful information, because those queries are sent directly to the domain's nameserver. The domain learns that data point anyway from the TCP SYN packet I'm probably sending immediately after I learn the A/AAAA record.

Separating the requests allows for different cache policies. If you simply delegate the entire recursive resolution work to Google (or whomever), they get to record that you needed "www.example.com" every TTL (5min?). You don't even need to see the domain's NS records in that case, so there isn't an opportunity to choose a cache policy.

> Workaround always exist

Of course. Every system has workarounds.

> People still prefer to pay, as much as possible in cash, to save on that huge registration fees.

For large real-estate companies, like Aparna Constructions in Hyderabad, most of the transaction is with fully accounted money. About 10% of the transaction is with un-accounted for cash.

Cash transactions are happening with smaller builders, but even they are finding it difficult to find buyers with a lot of liquid cash.

Now most of the money is being moved through faceless anonymous companies, and those are a step above unaccounted cash, when it comes to tracking and monitoring cash flow in the economy.

> This demonitization was just a smoke in people's eyes.

Perhaps, but along with the introduction of GST, I now find even traditional traders who usually prefer not to give a bill with a sale (for construction items, cement, steel, electrical wires, equipment, etc) are insisting on a GST bill. It was a really big surprise to me.

Also, this is a political masterstroke. Most of the country is below middle class and hardly every see a 2000 Rs. note. Most of them don't have much liquid cash. Most of them are happy that the rich are finally 'getting it' as in, finally there is someone in power who is not afraid to walk the talk.

Whether this is just smoke and mirrors is a different debate. But for most of the country, most of the poor people in the country, it's a eye-brow raising move, a very big talking point for worker level party operatives.

My personal opinion is that these sorts of actions are required to take the populace from cash to digital transactions. Waiting for natural course of movement to digital transactions will take an un-accptably long time.

With demonitization, many farmers, people in remote villages, even street vendors are using digital transactions. Credit-card use has increased, digital payments from mobile phones has increased.

Most importantly, the concept of digital transactions, virtual cash, in some very remote places, even the concept of bank accounts has entered into the greater public consciousness.

> Those big thugs are still scaming the banks and fleeing the country with billions of Rupees.

This happens in even the most developed countries. Even in the US, Europe, UK etc. The only difference is there the money is transferred to accounts in the Cayman islands, here in India, perhaps some other route.

I think what you're not understanding is it's not Google doing this vs that, it's Google doing what they are told, whatever that may be, or leaving.
The limit is based on your radiators, how much "empty" sky you can point them at, and how hot you can get them. Those are all fairly finite. Space being vacuum, there's no particular "amount of heat" it can hold, when you radiate heat it just goes away. But there is a difference in bodies that can send heat to you.

In space, most of the environment is "cold" in that there's not much energy coming from it, so if you show the distant stars a hot radiator, it'll cool off pretty well, because it's all send and no receive. But nearby bodies are different: Earth is approximately room temperature (and in low Earth orbit takes up quite a bit of the sky); the Sun is pretty hot, for a much smaller portion of the sky (depending on your distance.)

If you're not near a planet, and you can reflect away most sunlight, you get pretty cold. See James Webb Space Telescope or anything else with sun shades, including the PSP.

The corona will change this a little, because it's a somewhat denser plasma than usual, but not by much. It'll still be a question of radiator size and heat, which is fairy easy to calculate.

Its interesting that graphene does have superconducting behavior, but its still does not occur until very low temperature[0]. This is a brand new discovery, so it will be exciting to see how it advances. There are more degrees of freedom to be explored: doping, twist angle, multiple layers, etc.

[0] "The graphene sheets still required temperatures around 1.7 degrees above absolute zero, -456.6 F, to demonstrate superconductivity."
Solomonoff's article is available here: http://www.raysolomonoff.com/publications/alp-theory-and-app....

This is also a good guide: https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0703024.pdf.

There is nothing in that link that I can apply to a problem. It is all too general and abstract.

Algorithmic probability is a framework for general prediction, so it has applications in reinforcement learning (see AIXI), grammar discovery in linguistics, text compression, continuation of integer sequences, etc. See http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Applications_of_algorith....

I am certain that to calculate the probability they need to define/derive a model of the phenomenon being modeled to use as the likelihood... I am sure I would find that the probability calculation requires a model

Yes, and that model is a universal computer, as stated in the articles I linked to.
The Myth of 'I'm Bad at Math'
We had tremendous difficulty convincing Dr. Comer that using an experimental/nightly toolchain to compile an experimental compiler variant to use experimental libraries in an experimental language was worth it.

It took us quite some time to get everything up in a way that would work on most Purdue systems and our own personal ones and from there even translating the limited codebase we were using unsafe code blocks for nearly everything (and ASM blocks) and some internal code for multicore/ACPI-related things/Galileo boards we haven't made publicly available yet, AFAIK.

At the end of the day, Xinu was small enough and very concisely written and maintained for several decades that switching to a language like Rust wasn't warranted. Similar to sqlite, I suppose. You can email me at avaidyam@purdue.edu if you'd like to know more details/talk to Dr. Comer about Xinu things.
Really pleased to hear you're doing well. As someone who has faced a similar situation in the past I can attest as to how hard it can be to pull yourself out of that downward spiral.

I went through your previous thread and was really impressed by some of the advice/comments you were given.

I was wondering if anyone with some time on their hands on here could possibly prepare a repository of all the good advice in this thread (and the OP's previous thread, and one's like it) as a resource for people who face similar circumstances. (I have no doubt there are a lot of us out there).
> You are mangling the word "choice" to fit your argument. Solitude is (for instance) me deciding to have a day or a week for myself to hike a trail alone. Loneliness is not having anybody that would do the hike with me if I invited them.

Consumers are blasted with manipulative ad but still they've a choice, it's no more different than a suicide.
Honestly, the censored stuff is crap anyways. Reading the censored stuff is what leads people to devote their lives to "politics", "activism", and "social justice", and away from the really good stuff such as math, science, and philosophy, which the Chinese government never blocked. Any time spent on the activism stuff is time you are not spending on genuinely meaningful and personally fulfilling pursuits. In a sense, political activity is like playing video games and doing drugs, except more dangerous because you don't tend to feel as guilty for spending a lot of time on it. I think it's a good thing that drugs are generally banned, but there are also such things as "drugs of the mind" such as video games and political agitations and I don't see why reasons for banning the former shouldn't generalize to at least some of the latter
It is amazing how persistently common the 'oven logic' silliness is with medicine despite the fact that laypeople should really know better by now let alone scientists. If adequate doses of Vitamin C are good for you then megadoses must prevent cancer! Oh wait they actually increase your risk of cancer. Biological systems aren't that simple - otherwise we'd already see great results from the outliers and we don't.

It brings to mind the irony of trial lawyers becoming addicted to huge lawsuits thanks to the tobacco industry. Despite the obvious merits and misconduct of the defendants making it justified it seems to have had a harmful side effect of causing many lawyers to start looking for 'the next tobacco' case with no care to the underlying merit.
