MOAI does this in Lua already. Maybe the OP just wanted to use a language they liked.
If you are fortunate enough to have a good primary care physician, they should be able to refer you to a psychiatrist and/or psychologist that can help you determine a diagnosis. Sometimes you'll need to a few different clinicians until you find a match. Often times you don't need a referral for seeing a therapist. At least in an HMO, the primary care physician ultimately is responsible for your care, so if you pester them enough, they should help you navigate the system and find the care you need. But navigating the system, while struggling with your health, and life and job is really frustrating and challenging. I wish you the best of luck and I hope things get better for you soon.

Same with flask and django. And the worst is that the flask version is often riddle with security holes (not flask's fault) that would have been prevented for free.

I actually always say that despite the apparent easiness of the micro framwork hello world, you have to actually be very skilled to use them correctly to do anything beyong a few pages. While a full feature framework will make a beginer produce a decent work by default.
> I'm rather surprised I'm getting so much pushback on this here, of all places. I thought it would be pretty obvious to most of the English as first language population here.

I suspect it's not obvious to the overwhelming majority of English speakers that there is some problem with referring to females as females, or describing them as female.

In my observation, claiming that using the word "female" to refer to females is somehow problematic is the fringe view. Not the other way around.
It’s a newspaper not a scientific journal. What makes you think they would have access to any evidence? They are merely summarizing the research that others have done.
Awareness of what's around you is greatly aided by a bit of noise. Given the early failures of self driving cars and what we know about mechanical reliability of normal ones, I don't think I want to pin my life or the life of my children on some automatic stop that might not work. Better to be able to get out of the way sooner.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star-shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
The article makes a fair point which I'm having a hard time agreeing with based on anecdotal evidence.

A lot of my habits and hobbies stemmed from other people giving me advice. This includes the physical activities I do, meditation, certain technologies and ways of learning and so on. I am incredibly grateful to the people who introduced me to those things.

I will gladly give out similar advice to others. Advice from other people rather than summarised data and their personal experience has been invaluable for my personal growth.

I think it's important to acknowledge there are a lot of unknowns and give advice in a personal way "this worked for me" vs. "this is how it should be done". I think that if advice is given from a place of "here's something cool to maybe try" and not "here's what you should do" then it's pretty great - people just tend to like absolutes a lot better since they're simpler.

Edit: Not to mention the "You should check out this programming thing, it's pretty cool" which led to a fulfilling career which I love.
Since the article title says Theory and the described effects happened in the past, what specific evidence would you accept?

Do you expect that evidence to be forthcoming in any eventuality?

Does that mean that this topic should never be discussed?
I read a bit of him in college - what he pushed isn't all that special now nor something that stands out as a "holy crap" like predicting the existence of atoms but he had some influence with theodicy and other catholic foundations. While qualifying that a woman isn't at fault for being raped if she didn't enjoy it is horrifyiny misogynistic it was sadly progressive for his day. One amusing thing he had to argue against was that the Roman Empire fell due to abandoning the old gods and that if God was a real/superior power then they shouldn't have fallen.
Something like this happened to me. I couldn't think of anything else to do, and didn't have much on my resume at the time, so I changed my name to something common enough that there's hardly any chance Google will find me.
> Well, if a car spontaneously bursts into flames. There is no mitigation.

This is what the (literal, in the literal sense) firewall between the engine and the cabin mitigates - the fire stays in the engine compartment, so the passengers have more time to escape the (usually stopped) vehicle.
Somehow I had different experience. 50% of Rails was solving what you said, but the rest got harder because of all the constraints.
The fact that such alleged attacks are reported both in Cuba and in China, which nations have very little history of technical collaboration, makes it more likely that the alleged weapon was actually used by elements of USA bureaucracy. USA diplomats are the common thread here, no matter what purpose is assumed. It will certainly not be the first case of those serving the military-industrial complex being directly victimized by same.

If Russia had just wanted to play with their new toy while victimizing people with no local sympathy, they could have hit e.g. guest workers in Dubai and Western expats in Thailand. Actually they have lots of isolated communities in Siberia they could have observed more easily while staying out of the news completely.

Even if the "what", "where", and "when" ends up conforming to current "journalistic" speculation in these cases, the "how", "why", and "who" will probably never be really known. It's fine to be suspicious when Russian media are blaming USA, because they are "rivals". In the reversed case, why wouldn't one retain that suspicion?
I'm the same generation as you. But I'm not very educated, have never lived in New York, and am familiar with the Village Voice and most of the writers mentioned in the article.

Weird.
I think the screen time-happiness causation might be backwards. When I was a miserable, angsty teen, messing around on the computer was the only time I could focus on something and distract myself from being extremely emotional. Being around my friends generally made me anxious and depressed. I was drawn to the computer because I consciously knew it was relief from unhappiness.
I misunderstood your intentions.
Because it's super interesting? I never heard of this Frey Effect before, nor about the military's "active denial system".
>Wouldn't it be charitable to assume that they're putting forward a sub-optimal version of their argument, ie not the strongest version? (Thus, their argument could be made stronger.)

What the parent means is that we should treat what they say as if they meant the "strongest possible version".

So, parent doesn't mean "assume what they said was the strongest possible version" but "assume the strongest possible version of what they said".
I was an intern at Microsoft the day that ChromeOS was announced. Conveniently, a few days later the head of Windows was giving a talk to all the interns. Overall, spoke well, but during Q&A someone asked him what he thought about ChromeOS.

He laughed. He said it was a joke. He made it very clear that he didn't understand what Google was even thinking. And that stuck such a sour chord on me. Here's a company well known to be hiring the brightest people in the world, and they've announced a direct competitor to what you're doing... and you're laughing? It was like seeing an experienced chess player playing against a rumored-to-be-brilliant child prodigy and laughing at the stupid move the child was making.

I spent the next summer working on the ChromeOS team.
It was a dictatorship before, but the US was supportive then. Only some dictatorships are bad.
Choosing is much harder than it seems, and much more resource consumming. Then you have to integrate them. And of course test, maintain, document and update said integration.

All people I worked with that had your philosophy didn't so that last part, and it had important consequences for the whole project duration.

I’ve experimented with intermittent fasting, carb cycling, and a variety of other methods.

Intermittent fasting’s benefits for me are primarily the lack of distraction and fluctuations in my blood glucose level. I found that consuming protein or fats in the morning does not affect the latter benefit. It seems to me that it’s more about a diet that’s easy to stick to than dramatically altering one’s metabolism.

Lately, I’ve become more serious about strength training and have given up on it because my caloric needs have skyrocketed (I found myself losing weight at over 3000 calories a day.) and I need to eat frequently to recover.

However, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who isn’t an athlete, and to the latter I’d still suggest experimenting.
The United States has supported dictatorships let alone allowed them to exist. Like Batista. In... Cuba.
Thanks for explaining the subtle difference. I always thought alone & lonely were synonyms!
The US has installed or supported more than a few dictators... Do you really think that American intervention has anything to do with democracy?

Hiring developers to maintain a core OSS project that your company depends on is actually a really good idea! Besides securing the future of that OSS, you now have a "insider" on your team that knows the ins and outs of that software. Having some performance problems? Sue compiles the code everyday and can take a look. Need a special filesystem hook? Jane knows the code inside and out and can make it happen. Genius!
You're mistaken. Python 2.7 will still be here in a decade, and people might even still write code against it.

I don't think zealotry or being pushy is productive. Software doesn't rust, and 2.7 is a perfectly fine choice.
So in this thread we have mrtksn calling this lousy journalism, and madeuptemcappt saying it’s a well-researched and cited article.

I'm baffled by this bit:

> "Different things are true for different people" (which is simply false).

I mean, "English is the easiest language to understand" is clearly true for me and untrue for others. I suppose one could couch it in terms of the specific point of view but that seems to be finesseing away the counter argument.

I presume I'm missing something. What's the author getting at here?

Sinatra is frustratingly limited in some ways. I would describe it as easy, but not simple. It’s easy to use it to bang out any use case the authors foresaw. But now I’m going back and reading the code all the time to figure out how to accomplish certain things. And that reading is difficult, because like some other Ruby things it’s more focused on providing a pretty DSL for the user. How-to docs for basic things are easy to find, but reference docs aren’t, and often just list methods without any description of what they do.

I believe the issue it that many questions are too directive: I want you to say "blah blah blah", please say "blah blah blah".

So yes, if the moderator just had a list of open questions, it would probably have worked better.
People that have the skills to pull off a complex site __correctly__ with just a micro framework are rare and expensive.

But people that can do it and make it easy for the team to scale are unicorns.

I've yet to meet one that stays on this kind of missions for long because they get a better offer, leaving the custom project to people without the skill to manage it.

And if you think all that is easy, you are not that unicorn because you don't have a perspective going beyong your code files.

For reference since you've been gone a while, the best casual format (by far) is Commander (EDH). Buy him a couple cheap duel decks to learn the basics (phases, stack, etc). Then buy one of the prebuilt Commander decks (the 4 color ones would be best) to get started All that together is around $60 ($100 if you want a second Commander deck to play with him). Not a bad deal for the tabletop experience.

Commander is a Singleton format (only one of any card that isn't a basic land), so buying the occasional pack can mix things up a little. Cards that are unplayable in constructed are often great in Commander (and only having one isn't a disadvantage). A 4 color deck (if you have just one) or having all five colors across both decks increases the chances of being able to use whatever you open.

Note: if you're going for raw power, buy singles from a dealer instead of packs, but packs are great for casual (or drafting of course).

Edit: I didn't think about 9 year old hands, but you can play 60-70 card Commander so he can shuffle easier.
I still love Sinatra for back office and API stuff where you don't need to worry quite so much about authentication, exploits, web assets, permission hierarchies/matrices etc.

At the company I used to work for we built our invoicing system's API with it and it was fantastic, plain succinct Ruby with Sinatra, Sequel and not much else.

For public-facing apps that require signup, clever routing, image uploads and other non-trivial functionality, Rails definitely makes more sense.
I disagree. I think his way of having a debate is very dysfunctional. Many of his essays makes themselves hard to argue with rhetorically. He doesn't leave much room in the text itself nor in the medium for people to share their own opinion about it. And when people despite that still do write e.g. blog posts his response isn't to their argument, but that they have misunderstood what he meant. The way to make pedantry meaningless is to have a substantial debate. I also think there is as much presumption of malice on his part as anyone else. You can even find that in many of his essays where he talks about other people either being with or against him. I could find you some examples where I think he did an especially bad job, but what is the point? If you like his essays do that, but base that on substance and not some sort of universal truth on Hacker News.
Water filters are cheap and effective and make the water taste better anyway. I think most people's exposure is from eating lead paint and breathing fumes and particulates (also from paint -previously from gasoline engines). None the less, the US is visibly decaying enough I always drink filtered water (google "big berkey").
Also, if a startup solves this for me (hobby and habit matching for an individual) I will pay $1000 for it or use a subscription service.

These things are very time consuming and there has to be a better way to match people with ideas.

>Unfortunately, an extreme fringe position from a few people with decently wide media reach can be sufficient to establish something as "offensive". Once some people have said it's offensive, people who are more concerned with respectability will probably avoid saying it, which means the people left saying it will, relatively speaking, be less concerned with respectability, and therefore will try less and probably succeed less at being seen as respectable; the word will therefore acquire less respectable connotations due to who uses it, which will provide a stronger motivator for respectability-concerned people to avoid it, and thus the statement "that word is offensive" becomes a self-fulfilling proclamation. I believe a recent, strong example of this was when some people with very wide media reach announced that Pepe the frog was a white nationalist symbol.

Well stated. And that's why the busybodies and the bullies who are constantly dictating new rules of acceptable speech for the rest of society to follow must be resisted at every turn. I will not concede one ounce of moral authority to these power-hungry bullies. It's particularly gratifying when one of them attempts to "correct" my speech in person, and I can respond to them right to their smug faces.
How a specific form of government somewhere outside of US is a problem for US? Why exactly would they like to change it?
These requirements don't need to be part of the outsourcing contract. Sure, there can and probably will be some restrictions, but the reasons why a government agency doesn't employ (even former) drug users don't necessarily apply to contractors hired by the government even for national security projects.

Someone needs to invent an expanding foam that you spray in your ear and it solidifies in a few moments to form a perfect seal. It needs to somehow not go too deep and cause problems, and be easy to pull out and discard afterwards, ie, you can sell it forever like razor blades. Bonus points if it's biodegradable and can go in the compost.

You want Webpack bundled with your backend framework?

...Why?
That reminds me of a TED talk I saw where the speaker was saying that something he's noticed with a lot of academics and tech types is that they only care about flexing their mental muscles; their bodies are only useful for moving their brain from one place to another, so a lot of what they build is done to make it so they have to use their bodies less.

However, companies need not be constrained to the local maxima you describe.

They can switch hardware platforms. In fact, Apple is the obvious successful example of this, where the Mac line has moved from Motorola to PowerPC to x86/x84. Not to mention, the introduction of an historically successful new product line on ARM.

The general problem with hardware platforms is that they have very high fixed start-up costs. This is exacerbated by the fact that they are moving quickly so that these start-up costs are incurred again and again for products on the forefront. The way to deal with this economically is have large scale. Usually that scale is achieved though a market in which multiple companies are the buyers. But in Apple's case they are apparently large enough to achieve that scale by themselves for the iOS lines so are able to bring that in-house and then get the additional advantage of control over the hardware.

Now, of cours, Apple's A-series SOCs may well reach a maxima at some point in the future, and then get bypassed by some other hardware technology (though it's not like the A-series is sitting still). That doesn't mean Apple can't or won't adopt that new platform. And if they don't, that has nothing to do with whether their old platform was in-house or out-of-house.)

In general, this is about gaining control over key technologies they rely on due to their scale and strategic planning, which is generally a good thing. Of course, they also need to execute, but that's true entirely aside from "going vertical".
> Is this normal?

Completely!

Have you tried meditation? It sounds like you are over identifying with your thoughts & emotions. Putting some distance between them and the observer (the third eye, so to speak) has allowed me to recognize something as being anxiety inducing, but not have a panic attack over it. Also, try to reframe things that terrify you as challenges. It changes the narrative from victim to hero.

I also enjoyed reading "the war of art" and still find solace in its musings when I am faced with resistance.
