So, basically this[0] and this[1]. If the author just needed to vent and sympathetic ears, then the columnist's 2000+ words platitude is fine. However, if she really wants out of the situation, then a more pragmatic[2] -- tldr; treat finding a SO like a job; she already professed that she's found no fulfillment on her current job, so might as well -- approach would be more useful.

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. ... If you don't have the time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write.”

PSA: If you have ADHD symptoms, the first thing you should do is see if getting enough sleep makes them go away. I'm not saying all ADHD is sleep related, but bad sleep spawns ADHD in otherwise non ADHD people.
A system of ethics and moral rules that is evolved over time with no relation to how things are in themselves is simply so much legacy code, to be replaced by the stronger man at a time convenient to him.

If, on the other hand, moral rules and ethics are due to the natures of things then there must be someone who intended things to exist in the manner they are intended to exist. That being must be a person because of the principle of sufficient cause (since we exist). Faith is the response to communication from this person. It does not require abandoning of reason, but simply picks up where reason cannot ascend to because of its lack of perspective.
FiveThirtyEight ran an article on ADHD prescriptions [1]. It's getting pretty silly. If people don't know ADHD was not recognized as a disorder until 1968. And the popularity of drugging people for it didn't really take off until the 90s when a pharmaceutical industry astroturfing group called CHADD (Children and Adults with Attention Deficit) started marketing ritalin hard. Since then the use of using various pharmaceutical stimulants has become extremely widespread - jumping up by multiple orders of magnitude.

I'm unsure what the latest numbers are but they offer the data to 2013. And just between 2008 and 2013 adult usage of ADHD medication doubled. It was at 2.8% and has likely continued to rapidly increase. That's completed dwarfed by what we're now doing to kids and particularly boys. In 2013 we were up to 9.8% of all boys 12-18 years taking ADHD drugs. And those numbers again were, and presumably still are, rapidly increasing.

I have this likely decreasingly controversial view that history is not going to look back so kindly on psychology and our decision to start pretending we can create a pill for everything. I mean what could possibly go wrong getting 10%+ of boys setup with stimulants, and increasingly often other sorts of psychotropics as well, from their earliest and most critical developmental years?

Of course I'm sure people will now respond with how these drugs saved their life and without them they'd be homeless, in prison, etc. To these people I have a simple logical question. Let's assume this is true that you would indeed be homeless, in prison, etc without these drugs. We now see these drugs numbers are absolutely skyrocketing to the point that sizable chunks of our entire population are on them. So if we go back in time, why don't we see skyrocketing prison/homelessness/etc as a consequence of people not being able to have these drugs? Given the exponential increase in prescribing rates you don't need to go back far. We should be able to see huge and causably linked differences just over the last decade or two.

As of yesterday, lambda only provided a way to specify a function handler. The input to that function, and the response value from that function, needs to be deserialized and serialized (and implicitly, construct a runtime in which the concept of a function exists). Previously, a runtime for each supported language handled deserializing the wire protocol into a runtime object, invoking the specified function, routing stdout and stderr to cloudwatch, serializing the function's return value, and transforming runtime exceptions into response exceptions.

The lambda team is now letting you write that runtime, and presumably providing more documentation on the responsibilities of the runtime.

Check out the example C++ and Rust runtimes to understand why each language needed to have it's own custom runtime.

Part of the problem, yes. I also find people unwilling to put in even the basic effort to make and maintain friendships, offline. It is easier to text than email, it is easier to email than call, it is easier to call than meet in person and so on...

Things are bad for men than women, from what little I see around me. Broadly, I find people are more willing to help women than men, all else being equal. Maybe this is why men's lifespans are shorter than women's? Men are expected to "man up and shut up", whatever that means. So they don't seek out friends, don't speak up...
They don't really talk about the harm that could be done by "overtreating". Between treatment options being quite safe and there being a continuum of maturity/impulse control I would guess it is relatively low. Especially compared to the consequences of ADHD not being treated (lower academic success, lower social abilities, more violence, maybe even addictions later on).

Trying to prove your theory. Help me out.

The Houston metro area:

* Population: 6.3 million
* Land Area: 10,000 sq. miles
* Average wage: $25.87/hr
* Average 1 bed rental rate: $967/mo
* Wage/rent ratio: 22% monthly income.

The Bay Area:

* Population: 8 million
* Land Area: 7000 sq. miles
* Average wage: $37.19/hr
* Average 1 bed rental rate: $2500/mo
* Wage/rent ratio: 39% monthly income.

Why is Houston so much more livable than the Bay Area? If income inequality were the driver you would think a low-tax, pro-business, anti-regulation state like Texas would be very attractive to the elites of the world.
No one alive now would have noticed. We are comparing the life expectancies of the present day to those of 1762. At 38, Kant would have already outlived most of his contemporaries.

I have written the 'contextio' package that may be useful to you. It provides io.Reader and io.Writer wrappers that handle context cancellation. This allows to transparently add optinal context cancellation awareness to routines that work with I/O without injecting context as argument.

Doc: https://godoc.org/github.com/dolmen-go/contextio
Example: https://godoc.org/github.com/dolmen-go/contextio#example-pac...
Context and use case are important to help determine this. If you have an existing RESTful backend, think carefully through how complex your front end data may be per page/view. If you’re requiring multiple API calls or creation of custom routes to stitch data together GraphQL can be an ideal technology choice. Definitely would recommend checking out Apollo as well as Airbnb’s Blog Posts on integrating GraphQL/Apollo into their applications.
When I read "repairability and freedom" and yet the site wants to upcharge me $70 to go from 1x4GB to 1x8GB RAM, I get kind of dubious.
The first thing you should do if you see symptoms of virtually any disease/syndrome/disorder is to see a doctor ;-)
The existing site's "rust by example" is extremely valuable. It's up front and centre. In the new site it's very buried, which is a shame. Much easier to get started, perhaps, but much less easy to see whether I'd want to in the first place.

The getting started stuff is good, though.
The only tools I've found with decent support for Python and other languages are all emacs based. Same goes for the Clojure and CL ones, actually. It's no surprise, I suppose, because this style of programming is so natural to an emacs user.

But it's difficult with Python as soon as you try to do anything beyond a single module. CL and Clojure have proper packages and namespaces so it works fine. But in Python you're limited to working on the context of a single module. If you modify a module that was imported then you have to restart the REPL because you can't reload modules. It just doesn't work.

In CL I would just load the entire system then eval whatever part I want to. From that point I would never not have the current version of the system completely loaded into the running image. Much the same with emacs itself. It is a running image of your emacs lisp system and you can just modify it and eval as-you-go. Does any other language even come close to this?
Me too, basically. I had Gold status (30 nights) with lounge access, which was super-useful. Now that got shifted to Platinum (50 nights), Marriott is a much tougher sell.

But there are credit cards that will (as of 2019) give you 15 elite qualifying nights per year so Platinum will be "only" 35 nights... not that much different.

The SPG Gold status was about the last useful benefit I got from Amex platinum though so that card is probably dead to me now.
For programming veterans who have at least some frontend experience and just want to pick up React (i.e. me) the React docs and scattered tutorials/stack overflow sites was sufficient. But I wouldn't remotely recommend this path for someone relatively new to programming.
Yeah, sounds crazy. It only worked for C for 40+ years...
I feel the same way. By the time Go2 releases, I hope Rust has solidified its async/await syntax, and Rocket can build on stable.
Just pre-ordered!
Agreed. If one wants to stop oneself copy-pasting, one should have a little willpower.

If one wants to stop someone else copy-pasting, like for a student's test in a school environment, there might be some utility here — though I would say a system-wide utility might be more useful.
That would be lovely! I do a lot of image processing using unix pipes, and when I forget the "|display" at the end it breaks everything.

Notice that you do not even need to use sixels in your case. Since you control the rendering, you can simply put the pixels of the image on a rectangle (that allows paning and zooming, for example), and move the cursor below it.
Because it's kind of right, in the way that it's not technically accurate, but a bit of an approximation that's reasonable for a beginner-level introduction.
Socialism without morality leads to Stalinism. Socialism with morality requires strict (e. g. sworn) obedience to a higher authority (see the monasteries of Catholicism which are strictly speaking socialist).

It's like building in special handling for a string type, exactly one instead of a catalog of library options.

I'd say that would fit in quite well with the brand of minimalism that Go is representing, keep the language simple and provide builtins where more convenience is needed. The opposite kind of "minimalism" would be providing tools to allow libraries to define what other languages can only support as special builtins. C++ and Scala went down that road, they minimize builtins by empowering libraries to replace them. That's also a form of minimalism, but not the one chosen by Go.

Tangent: now I wonder wether Scala has inerited special handling for the (not special, but specially handled) string type it inherited from Java or if just reimplements those syntax extras in the standard library using implicits.
1) Not true. GraphQL can work with GET and you can have cached queries (to avoid the query string length).

This means, you can cache and you can do whatever you want with caching rules (source: We are running it in production for a long time)

2) This is largely up to you. You can have it as a thin skin or you can rely more on your server side logic.

For us, we chose to have the frontend only handle presentation logic, the rest is handled on the server side.

For example, a lot of our stuff relied heavily on ACL, the frontend needs to expect to NOT get any data on specific fields, that's the only responsible for it. The rest is on the server side.

I’ll also bite and say it should not be that controversial to oppose housing development that comes without a transportation/education/garbage/power/water plan. You can’t just shovel thousands of people into a neighborhood designed to support hundreds and declare the housing problem solved. “Just add housing” is a simplistic and insufficient solution.

Layers sounds like a great solution to sharing code/libraries. If anyone at AWS is here, will there be a way to pull them down for local testing? At the minute it's trivial because you're forced to pull all your dependencies into a single place you can zip them, and you can test them at that point - but will you still have to do that if you want to test locally with layers?
Based on my own anecdotal evidence, I would agree with this.

A while back I damaged my gut. I experimented with many methods found on thousands of websites that talk about probiotics, fish oil, manuka honey, etc... All of those things just irritated my gut more and prevented healing. The fish oil did the most damage. It is a blood thinner and anti-coagulant. The manuka honey also did a bit of damage when it reacted and pushed many small bubbles into the blood stream in the leaky gut/brain barrier.

In the end, culling some of the bacteria with mastic gum and keeping it off the gut lining with diet cranberry juice was all that really worked. I also took K2-MK4 and K2-MK7 to keep the calcium in my blood from binding to the oxalate in the cranberry juice which can lead to kidney stones. Diet cranberry juice is my new best friend. Ginger root and aged garlic extract helped with the candida.

Sure... my spouse is a Japanese citizen, so that made getting a visa trivial in my case.

The company I work for has offices in the U.S. and Japan. They were able to transfer me to Japan and let me work remote with my team in the U.S. They probably would have been able to get me a work visa, too, though it wasn't necessary in my case since the spousal visa was much simpler to obtain. Since my company has a presence in Japan, all of typical payroll, benefits, insurance stuff is handled through the Japan HR dept.

For anyone looking to spend time living abroad, I think this approach of working for a large multinational and asking to be transferred is a viable option. Of course it requires that you have a tremendous level of trust with your manager, and you need to be senior enough that it is worth the hassle for them. Also - if there is no business justification for the transfer, don't expect them to help out with relocation costs, and if you are moving to an area with a lower cost of living they may give you a negative cost of living adjustment, too.

I should make it clear that this move wasn't easy to make by any means. It took years of planning and even a job change to find a team I was confident enough I could make it worth with. While getting the visa was simple enough in my case, actually moving to Japan and buying a house, opening up bank accounts, getting a drivers license, etc were all enormously time consuming and at times very frustrating.

So it can be done, and I feel it is worth it, but it does require a fairly large amount of effort.
Windows admins have been running heuristics with File Server Resource Manager for a few years. We had users disabled and SMB access immediately denied for users that created certain file types, and email alerts get sent. It was surprisingly effective.
Probably not, because the benefits and side effects of appropriate ADHD drug treatments are completely reversible and the scientific evidence for treatment being positive is extremely strong.
When I send an email, it goes to the group I sent it to, every one, every time.

When I post to Facebook, it goes to some percentage of my friends, some of the time, different every time, totally unpredictably. Plus Facebook sends them all sorts of content they didn't ask for, like recommendations, ads, an article some friend "liked", etc.

Facebook practices censorship as a business model. It's not a neutral communications platform; it hasn't been since they started running the timeline with an algorithm. It's a publishing operation.

No government made them do that. The point of these government hearings is to make them acknowledge and be accountable for the censorship and promotional decisions they are already making.
Not saying all cops are overpaid, but probably a healthy mix of the two:

Some seem to believe NYC is one of the most progressive places in the country, but may not realize it's also known for most corrupt politicians and public servants.
I agree that radiator is wrong to say “no hope”. You’d only need to find one example of a couple who met and had kids after 35 to disprove that, and I’m sure there are plenty.

But I think both you and the parent commenter are deliberately missing the point. The amount of “hope” is severely diminished, and it gets smaller every day.

The woman is faced with the task of finding a guy who wants kids as much (and as quickly) as she does, without the chance to first bond and grow together in a relaxed and unhurried relationship. She’ll have to reassure him that no, she isn’t settling just because she wants a baby, even though the same thought sometimes crosses her mind.

Plus she’s broke, so this guy will have to love her enough to make a considerable financial sacrifice and then continue to support her through motherhood. (NB this applies whether or not they stay together).

So sure, there’s hope, but you’re being disingenuous if you pretend that there’s a lot of it.

Generally, the older the city, the more outdated and archaic laws they have on the books. Here are some interesting ones/quotes:

> “It’s easy to pass laws regulating people’s behavior,” he said. “It is very difficult to repeal those laws.”[1]

> A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline[1]

> it is illegal to walk around on Sunday with an ice cream in your pocket.[2]

> it is illegal to have two or more people gather together in public while each wearing any sort of disguise or mask[2]

> A man cannot go in public wearing non-matching pants and jacket.[2]

I'd certainly advocate a high level of skepticism.

Even in the article Ram Dass is saying that he gave LSD to the Harvard undergraduate at least in part because he found him attractive. It makes me wonder what else happened in that encounter, but it's certainly a large abuse of power to have a professor giving undergraduate kids LSD.

I also think any discussion about these sorts of western gurus must also include dialogues about race, class, and privilege. If he could afford a Cessna, a Mercedes, a sailboat, and multiple apartments, it certainly was not from just a professor's salary. It's a whole lot easier to take a bunch of drugs then go practice asana and pranayama in India with the sort of safety net it sounded like he had.
