This article is just an opinion piece and junk at that. If they have any data they fail to properly cite it beyond their own economist article which also fails to properly cite sources. I find this so frustrating when reading articles these days. All to often they just write "in a recent study ..." with no mention of what the study is, who did it, or a link for you to read it.

Suicide is a huge problem and very complex topic and this article answers to "Why" are quite flippant.
> FFT requires input data to be sampled with a constant sampling interval.

You can use something like Lomb-Scargle to get a periodogram without needing it to be evenly spaced. This also has the benefit of potentially making the Nyquist limit much softer (depending on how randomly-variating the sample interval is)[1].

> At this point in my life I've started to believe that whenever you talk to someone who is "passionate about technology X and clean architectures" or "wants to work on challenging technical problems" is ultimately doomed to fail when setting out to create a (for-profit, bootstrapped) business

A flight to the Virgin Isles was delayed overnight, so a strapping young man named Richard Branson chartered a plane to the Isles with money he didn't have. His next move was to create a sign that read "Virgin Airline, $29 a ticket", which he showed to his fellow passengers. They all paid up and all flew to the Virgin Isles that night. Was he motivated by a "passion to help people get to their destination"? Hell no, he had a girl waiting for him and more than likely he wanted to get laid.

That is the only attitude that works for an entrepreneur, the ability to identify problems, find solutions, and get people to pay for them. If you say you have a passion fr a technology or a clean architecture, or that you want to work on challenging problems, you belong in an established company, either as a lead, an architect, or in the R&D. Entrepreneurs understand that technology is but a means to an end, and focus more on solving problems than gold plating something or waxing philosophical about software. They use the tools at hand to solve a problem to the best of their ability. They're not motivated by some grand scheme, their passions are more personal.

I believe in zero discrimination and equal opportunity. If numbers in any thing aren't as might be desired by roughly equal outcomes than it's probably time to start looking at other issues.

As a very broad brush, assuming a positive and not-toxic workplace, adequate compensation WITH a proper balance of work/life is probably the next wrong to look at. Multiple branching career paths that don't derail when taking time off for kids is probably another.

However, in general, US (and western) society is bi-modal school/work/being "productive" on one path and kids on the other. It does an astoundingly poor job of building stable communities, particularly as for at least two generations "The American Dream" has been dying/dead.

The first one requires money be spent on every site.

The second one requires that the feature be maintained in major web servers. Which it will be. On a per-site basis, the developer needs to do nothing.
These questions are telling:

* No one will actually use this.
* Will designers really find this useful?
* What if you launch and no one finds it valuable?

Why not do some basic user research and get people to pay for it? This isn't some new ground, there are literally hundreds of internet gurus all saying that if you whip up a prototype, present it to people, and they pay for it, you'll have a higher chance of success.
It's funny how you learn about colors in Kindergarten and think you pretty much go it. Then you go to program with them and instantly get hit with intense math.
Looking at 2017 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_accidents_(2010%E..., I count 10 train passengers (not counting the 6 students on board of a school bus that collided with a train) that died in train accidents that year in Europe.

I think that is a pretty good example of a risk worth accepting. The US seems to have ~6 billion rail passenger miles (~10b km) per year based on https://www.bts.gov/archive/tet/2016/tables/ch1/fig1_16/text

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php... claims that "Based on the latest data available (generally for 2016), there were 401 billion passenger-kilometres travelled on national railway networks in the EU (including 2015 data for Denmark and 2014 data for Hungary; excluding Belgium and the Netherlands). This figure was considerably higher than the 22 billion passenger-kilometres travelled on international journeys (based on the same data availability)"

If a full freight train crashes into a full passenger train at speed, I doubt armoring the cars is going to help much.

What will help is systems that make collisions less likely, and a system that makes passenger rail feasible in the first place (not sure if that's possible in the US, because the typical distances are just so much bigger).

> Is there a point where we collectively step back and acknowledge the great gains women have had in society; so great that they now have a very real advantage over men?

What evidence do you have to support this? Women are still underpaid compared to their male counterparts for doing the exact same work, which SCOTUS recently ruled was perfectly legal.

Women are still underrepresented in managerial and executive roles across the Fortune 500 and beyond, and have only begun making real gains in high-level US gov positions.

How exactly is the increasing rate of women in university contributing to the problem of poorly-educated white men committing suicide at a higher rate?
My experience has been that they do care, but not in the way you’d think: they will voice their concerns as the app breaking something they expected to work, it being slow or laggy, or “not looking right”. They don’t know what’s going in the background but they can usually figure out the effects that it has on their experience.

I'm touched by your optimistic conclusion, but the idea we'll see science-based policy does not resonate with as likely. I don't think facts or reasoning were so frowned-upon since medieval times.
Hm. I will have to retry. You're right that this is my work laptop and sometimes Sophos does weird crap. Sorry for alarming you without checking downforeveryoneorjustme first.

I have read the source; indeed reading the source of redux-thunk was necessary for me to conclude it was pointless. I like everyone else thought that it was doing something more than `go = fn => fn()` does.

The code that I wrote you is logic which needs access to `dispatch` and `getState` when it runs, but it is not bound to specific references of `dispatch` and `getState`. It does not use your hack of importing a store from a global location, so it does not have problems with (A) or (B).

You cannot avoid grabbing that reference to props.dispatch either way. The crux of the argument that redux-thunk is just syntactic sugar, is that dispatch is already in scope whenever it is used and can be passed as an argument or a closure.

I agree somewhat with refactoring async logic into its own component when one wants to reuse it and make it portable. The question is just, should you pass `dispatch` and/or `getState` as an argument to that function? Or should you curry that dependency to a subfunction and pass that function as an argument to `dispatch`?

I opine that the latter is objectively worse than the former. You have `dispatch`: hand it directly to the function, let people know that this function is not an actual action but an asynchronous process. We are talking about a syntactic sugar, in other words, that doesn't make anything sweeter.

I'm actually refreshed to be reminded that the Redux store is a closure, I had forgotten since I first read the Redux code several months ago. So then it's even easier; one never has to bind anything.

I will try to ping you on Discord later tonight; there is a specific reason that I am preferring asynchronous messaging systems at the moment.
>> Airbnb's decision to abandon RN is clearly due to engineering blunders and political nonsense internal to Airbnb

I could be wrong here, but from what I understood the cost of maintaining a hybrid RN + fully-native apps > full-native apps. I.e. What airbnb would gain by not having to code both android/iOS was lost by having to deal with all the RN non-sense (third-party libraries being deprecated, very fast non-backward compatible changes, etc.) but also having to always bridge the gap between what was RN and what was truly-native. At the end of the day, you look at your time and you realize that you spend more time trying to make it work with RN to "save time" rather than just coding it on both platform.

But then, most people using RN don't have to deal with this issue because they don't have an existing non-RN code base to bridge with RN.
So, ultimately, we're all inclined to hate each other for selfish reasons, isolate ourselves, and lob smug animated GIF potshots and 140 character zingers from self aggrandizing user profiles on social media websites, in an effort to puff up our egos, and seem superior through the lens of a user avatar?

The exact same thing is done in traditional generation. You don't use a nuclear plant t for a TV pickup for instance, you wouldn't use solar for the whole grid.

Balancing the way you generate reduces the amount of over-capacity required (and subsequently the cost), exactly as is done now in traditional generation.

Thanks so much for writing this out, and to everyone else who responded to this thread!

Seems like whether we call it ADHD or not, productivity and focus is a real problem.

And you mention "being your own life coach" - especially for people who work from home, I think that's almost a necessity. But, you can also hire other people to be your life coach too!

I have a personal trainer who makes sure I go to the gym.
I have a therapist I see regularly who helps me a lot lot.
I am about to get a psychiatrist to talk about medicine but I imagine he'll have more ideas too.
I hired a business coach for 8 months and though expensive it was the best investment I've ever made for my career.
I'm currently playing around with Boss as a Service. It did in fact help me get started today!
I'm a part of 3 different mastermind groups. We meet for an hour every other week and talk about business and also life.

Being an introvert I had a tendency to isolate myself but my quality of life and business success has improved immensely by expanding my network.

This _combined_ with lots of little tricks and environmental changes have helped too. Things like having a physical checklist for my morning routine gets me out of bed. Having only a few staple foods helps me eat healthier. Going to coffee shops helps me work more. Etc etc etc.

It's a continual process that can always be optimized but as far as I can tell, the key is to keep trying things until you find things that work for you.

If anyone in here wants to talk more about ADHD and focus and productivity, happy to chat over email: david@lessboring.com. Cheers!
I think we are going off-topic, but: 1) a lot of old art was commissioned with religious themes, regardless of artists' feelings, because that was the socially-acceptable thing to do; artists simply illustrated stories, giving it a personal spin. They are more akin to, say, illustrations for a modern movie production, than to a Warhol or a Duchamp. You might be responding to that. 2) if your parameters of greatness include "life-likeness", anything since the invention of photography will be disappointing, because artists stopped trying (they obviously couldn't compete); and 3) democracy freed artists from having to convey The Message, be it God, Nation, Progress or whatnot. Left free to choose topics, artists moved in other directions. Contemporary art is very cerebral and polemic, all the fun and sentiment is in pop.
In other words, if we can become less dependant on oil / natural gas (i.e. pipelines for them) we'll have more money for mass transportation. The irony is, our love of personal transportation is foregoing our transition to trains and such.
Note that the truth is more complicated than that "Skia is the graphics engine for Mozilla Firefox". Firefox does use Skia on many platforms right now, but on Windows (by far the most popular platform) Direct2D is mostly used instead.

This means guns. And that is why right now this post is full of mean spirited comments. It is a shame that cannot be a sincere discussion about guns even when it relates to suicide and the lives it could save.

This article is about how male suicide is on the rise in the US. That is evidence. I also linked to male incarceration rates vs. female.

Your understanding that you can't prove yourself but which you take on faith from a politicized system of academic grants and government loans to fraudulent businesses like Solyndra is "scientific fact" and my skepticism is merely a "political belief".

Is that death for a protocol? Or success?

I get why Google, which controls a great deal of the software on both ends of a very large number of connections, finds a settled standard inconvenient.

But from my perspective, as somebody who uses Google software but does a lot of other things too, I like when we have standards that are implemented by many different people and aren't controlled by a single vendor that is eager to maintain or extend their large market shares in many areas. Can that be slow to change? Sure. But the speed is proportional to how much the change benefits people besides Google.

Personally, I hope that QUIC is a first step toward taking the lessons learned and implementing them widely, rather than something that will evolve at a rapid pace precisely as long as Google needs it to and then stop.
Costco's website is terrible too. I think they could sell a lot more product if they had high resolution images. Ya, images (plural). They only have one image for each product! They're very low resolution. There is very limited information for each product. They're doing themselves a disservice since they have good prices.
I don't understand why Facebook is being singled out here.

Because the underlying issue is time spent on the internet as a whole. Each of the negatives that can be attributed to Facebook apply equally to sites like Youtube, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter etc. And ultimately Facebook is just a website that exposes humanities's neuroses and problems to itself.

And I still love the hypocrisy of this coming from Buzzfeed whose entire existence centres around driving traffic through jealousy, fake news, clickbait etc.

Though I do agree to a great extent - I also think Linux was made (iterated, improved upon, invested in by so many) with pragmatism and 'customer' (i.e. users) satisfaction in mind - it just happens to be free. Meaning, a great deal of the same 'outcome orientation' without being so overtly commercial.

The nytimes summary (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/23/climate/us-climate-report...) claims the report talks about a 10% hit to US GDP in 2100 (note: I can't actually find such language in the report).

If you are in America, that type of hit is hardly on the level of life destroying, though I'll admit a) there's tail-probabilities of much worse happening, b) people in developing countries will be hurt far more, c) if you care about the outdoors, you'll be a lot less happy.

Nim's `multisync` macro is another cool approach to this. It allows the function to be called isomorphically regardless of synchronicity, determining the latter using the type system.
