You are lucky. I had some corrupted and very big photos in my filesystem. Since Google sync couldn't convert it, the software decided to upload the corrupted file to Google Drive as is. Sure I've checked to sync just photos in high res.

Result: the corrupted uploaded files filled my Google Drive, so I couldn't receive emails anymore in Gmail! Lost 7 days of messages till diagnosed the problem.
That's really nice. Google could make the same pledge. They do well enough and will likely be around for a very long time.

I'm 34 now. I have absolutely no expectation that there will be a social security system to speak of in 2049. Quite frankly it seems insane to me to expect that it would still be around.
Maybe I'm projecting, but what this translates for me is "many people hate their jobs". And of course they often try to hide it, because they need the money. Or the reputation, acknowledgment, or whatever.

I've never done well at work that I don't enjoy. Indeed, at work that doesn't show up for me as play. So much so that I've been homeless (or very close to it) at times.

But for stuff that I do enjoy, I've tended to get obsessive and driven. Because it's been so much fun, and/or so much of a challenge, and such a rush when things worked out. In other words, I tend to be a workaholic.

But otherwise, if it wasn't (or was no longer) fun, I've found myself focusing on something else that was fun. And in many cases, that became my next career. At least four times.

For example, I spent several years working as a data geek. But how that started was managing snailmail lists for community groups. In Reflex, an early semi-relational database in DOS. And over a few years, I migrated through Access and eventually SQL Server, and was doing basically forensic accounting on enterprise-scale data. At home ;)

My point is that I've been lucky. But many seem to get stuck doing stuff that they can barely stand. Because they're constrained by obligations to family or whatever. And in any case, there are lots of jobs that need done, which too few people would really consider fun.
I pay 15% to an agency. They get better rates for me and do the legal and billing. Other agencies charge more I hear.

Not to trivialize people with genuine issues, but experiencing "stress, anxiety and low mood" is completely normal and natural. In fact not experiencing these kinds of emotions from time to time would indicate an issue! I do wonder whether the scope of what's deemed "mental illness" is being widened
Probably worth adding disclaimer you work on FaunaDB. :)

I am wondering in what sort of cases users can just hit the DB. Do you mind giving a tl;dr? Does it only work for readonly/non-sensitive data?
I've been contemplating this problem since I first met Greg Baugues at UIUC, when he was giving a talk[1]. The thing is, I feel employers actual would / do care about mental health (generally); at least to a point. We're all humans... It's just an uncomfortable topic for pretty much everyone involved.

As an employer how do you approach the problem? Ideally, you could identify improvement methods, and implement them. This would make employees happier and work harder; while at the same time make employees have a better life (win-win). This makes me think it has likely more to do with the interaction between the people/employees or the lack of long-term strategy of a business.

You can't command youngsters when you don't have authority over them. Asking it in a friendly tone is much more reasonable though it does require an extra keybind (I recommend rebinding caps lock to it).
gotcha. I was writing for terseness and timepressure in the small hn box, so I would say that this is not representative of how one should or even, I generally would have written.

1) I probably should have put an explicit "return" on the lambda statement, since it's unclear with the strange tabbing.

2) foldr is reduce, with an order guarantee (I think reduce might do a binary or parallel reduction if given the chance). I probably should have done reduce.

3) the type-first technique is a C-and-friends thing - found in C, Java, Go. Functional languages Typescript, F# do type-second, as does pascal if we reach far back enough (albeit they do it with the single colon operator) I think type-first contributes to the difficulty of reading C types but i don't have evidence (http://unixwiz.net/techtips/reading-cdecl.html)

4) now that I think about it, julia has a dot broadcast notation which I probably should have used.

This might have been better (but possibly too terse? I don't know)

function matmul_reop(mulop::Function, addop::Function)::Function
return (m::Matrix, v::Vector) -> [ reduce(addop, mulop.(m[row,:], v)) for row in 1:size(m,1) ]
end

I wish julia had a row iterator, (and once wrote one myself) because that would make it even more terse... That is on the issues tracker, so it will probably make the standard library.
On a full flight there's really no need to check at all. If too many people board you'll catch it when the spurious passenger tries to take a paid passenger's seat.

And if identity actually mattered (hint: it doesn't), well it's already been "screened" via the purchase and TSA checkpoint tests.

Planes flew for decades without any matching of passengers to tickets, and tickets were frequently resold (especially unused legs) via classified ads and later eBay. The airlines were delighted when the government (without any evidence to justify it) told them to start matching people to tickets.

I can recommend Erich Fromm's "The Pathology of Normalcy" - he's a well-known psychotherapist and author of the 20th century. He argues that we have a systematic problem and that treating mental health problems on an individual level is not going to solve the root problem. Basically, the structures we live in make us sick mentally.

This book is a great read and shows ways to solve this problem.

There is no need to "pan it out" to other countries. If the law passes in Australia then other 5 Eyes countries can send their data to us, have it decrypted, and then have it sent back to the original country (this is one of the primary things that 5 Eyes exists for -- to allow for this sort of bullshit). Which means that even if such tactics are not legal in your home country, they can outsource the reprehensible shit to us.

Am I correct in thinking that what we're missing is an "ALGPL", a version of the AGPL that only requires modifications to be distributed and not everything linking to it? At the moment the AGPL seems to be the only common license that requires modifications behind a corporate firewall to be published but the copy left nature makes it corporate cancer.
The value of any degree is always going to be measured against supply and demand. There has been a huge push to get more people into computer science, thus increasing the supply beyond the rate of demand. Declining wages would be the logical conclusion (and motivation) for this.

The news article (and hence the headline problem description figures) are to market the charity's new site which brings together resources for helping with mental health at work.

> The stock price is the same for the buyer on RobinHood or does RobinHood raise the price in anticipation?

What this article is suggesting is that if you are going to place an order for some stocks and, all else being equal, if you place that order with Robinhood there is a chance that the price for you the buyer is slightly higher (you probably care about this) and/or the price that the otherwise-would-have-been seller receives is slightly lower (you might not care about this).

I like that we're seeing more nuanced evaluations of serverless than the previous hype, but totally agree that there's certain use-cases where serverless shines and cold-start seems negligible in practice.

For example, on the real-time side, busy APIs with functions than execute quickly. If the caller has either a decent timeout + retry configured (or doesn't care), cold start really isn't an issue. User facing web technologies? Serverless has never been that compelling for that given auto-scaling webservers is a pretty solid technique.

But truth be told, not having to deal with servers at all is magical. And if your team is used to it, it does cut down on a lot of worry such as patching stuff. Spectre or Meltdown patches? Ha, zero effort for us.

It isn't. The hypothetical problem was setting a pointer to a stack variable. That's a no-no from the start, and adding hypothetical closures to the mix changes nothing.
This is what happens when you make the definition of mental illness so loose that almost everyone is captured. While it might help those with an axe to grind or a vested interest in ramping the numbers, it doesn’t help those with serious mental illness problems.

The issue in this arrangement is with contributors. Why would contributors want to actually contribute. With AGPL one of two things happen:

1) The contributors give you the right to license the software how you see fit. Thus, they are not able to get commercial benefit from the software, but you are.

2) The contributors don't give you the right to re-license the software. When this happens, you can't sell a commercial license.

The final issue is that a lot of the contributors to open source actually are doing so on the behalf of their companies. Many companies would like to contribute some feature to the open source project that they find useful so they don't have to constantly patch upstream before using a project. With AGPL, you won't get those contributors.

> I wonder how big implementing the equivalent functionality with an x86 PC would be --- my guess is somewhat shorter, because the x86 ISA is denser than 6502.

(grain of salt alert: I don't know a ton about modern PCs at this low a level)

Eh, maybe if a modern PC were just an Apple I with an x86 chip dropped into it - although even then, don't underestimate the 6502 for code density (or overestimate x86) when it comes to simple bit-banging and byte-bashing. And remember, your x86-64 CPU when it starts up isn't much more than a hot-rodded 8086, so we're comparing the 6502 to that - real mode x86 with 16-bit registers and all - rather than something more modern.

But my guess is that the complexity of modern IO would absolutely crush you in terms of complexity. For keyboard and video alone, the absolute bare minimum, you need to speak to the USB controller and across the PCI-E bus to the graphics card, and my intuition tells me this hardware wasn't designed to be easily programmable in a microscopic number of bytes.

(I also don't know how much stuff you strictly need to do to get a stable system, but looking through the pages of Advanced Options in my BIOS concerning things like memory timing and who knows what else makes me think the motherboard itself needs a fair amount of configuration on start up...)

It must be said the influx of mis-information, now over-inflated egoes, greed and terrible mental health of the masses creates a society that is mentally sickening towards others.

Every time someone with clarity and genuine intent points that out, society points a finger back, saying nothing is wrong with society. Something is wrong with your attitude. Therein lies the reason for this degrading mental health of the masses.

I only use open source libs that's apache, mit, or BSD licensed. To use anything else you must be crazy (as this article proves). I'd rather write my own code if it's not available under one of those licenses.

I am more flexible with the software as it doesn't really matter (like databases).
Mental illnesses have psychological (eg issues from childhood), chemical (eg neurotransmitter balance) and yes social (communication and meaning) aspects.

It's easy to pay attention to only one (a definition shift would be social/communication), but all three matter.

These illnesses are failure modes at a mid level in the most complex information processing device in the universe. There's a lot going on - it's not so much definition shift, as this is complex, and yes it is a communal cry for help in part.
Very interesting! It would be very educational to see a Github repository of the code for this. Could you? Would you?

I maintain the perl compiler which is used in 70% of the world hosted websites. It enables you to write in a very high level language with tons of libraries, and reduces resources by a factor of 10-20%. Without using the optimizing compiler yet.

The current focus is on improving the underlying VM, cperl, a fork of perl5, to enable most traditional optimizations, such as types, compile-time classes, inlining, loop unrolling, lazy parsing, type tracing, ... The optimized compiler or jit would then be about 4x faster, while still keeping the memory resources down. Recent efforts with static perfect hashes for const unicode data brought down memory by factor 10.

But money is not flowing, on the contrary, it was taken away, so we will see. The dynamic language communities are very hostile to compile-time optimizations. only recently type hints got adopted. but there's so much more to do.

- I get to spend most of the time in R working on cash flow modeling;

- We get to use a lot of data which makes for interesting challenges;

- I get a say in how we solve problems IT wise;

- We need to understand the business to do our own modeling correctly;

- Pay isn’t that great.

That's a useful perspective, I think. I mean, isn't it useful to distinguish between "poor fit for job" and "mental health issues"? Would we expect mentally healthy people to do well, and be happy with, any arbitrary sort of job?

My hot take: This is "patriarchy" at work in an unchecked fashion.

Studies of primate groups suggest male leaders protect the group from external threats, such as carnivores or war with other groups. Female leaders protect the group from internal threats.

As a woman who is probably some kind of alpha female, I couldn't find any role models that worked for me. I was a full time wife and mom for years and all our leadership models are male models that we expect women to somehow emulate and I could never make sense of it.

Reading up on the role of alpha females in primate groups helped me feel functional and not crazy or broken. It gave me a model I could relate to.

Women with careers tend to learn male -- or yang -- leadership models. YC claims it is so successful because Jessica was maternal and nurturing and they had sit down dinners like an extended family.

And I sometimes think that's what's lacking out in the world of work, that feminine influence that says you need to take care of your people to be successful and not just run them into the ground.

/things I expect to regret stupidly voicing
At a level that needs OS cooperation to detect, there are packets with invalid ports or invalid sequence numbers for TCP. On top of that, the requests themselves have a 16-bit ID that acts as a random cookie. If we could extend DNS to make the ID bigger that would solve the problem by itself. There have been attempts to use rAnDOm CAsE to make spoofing harder, but it only works on some DNS servers.

For attacks like this, there are thousands to billions of spoofed responses coming in. It's not subtle at all, or very hard to keep track of the domains under fire.

Edit: Oh wait, the queries themselves? That's a very different problem and there's no good solution. Harass more ISPs into implementing filters that drop spoofed IPs from their users.

Two things.

1- It's amazing that Java has the fastest cold start time! Faster than Nodejs.[1] That's exactly the opposite of what I've heard before.

2- I am so tired of hearing about cold start times for dormant apps as if that is the only cold start scenario. It is arguably a worse problem to have cold starts when scaling!

What do I mean by cold starts when scaling? You adopt serverless. Things go great. Your app is never dormant. You're not serverless because you want to shave costs for infrequently unused apps. You're serverless so you have infinite scale and pay by the millisecond and minimal devops and so on. But whenever you have a burst of scale and Lambda needs to spin up more instances... some of your unlucky users are going to hit that cold start. And this hack of keeping an instance warm would do nothing to solve that.

I mean, do they? Do we know? It's possible that AWS warms up instances before throwing traffic at them but.. has anyone looked at this?
