I suffer from serious depression. I have tried to kill myself. It comes and goes in waves.

I was able to try an experimental ketamine treatment in the hospital.

3 doses administered via IV every-other day. (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)

The first and third were failures for me. Nurses talking in the OR completely distracted me and "stole" my awareness.

But the second one was perfect. I was able to feel nothing. I was able to shut off my mind and enjoy the single most peaceful moment of my life.

As time & work permit I plan on doing this again. Especially now that I know I need to be blindfolded and have ear-plugs in. (this sounds dramatic, but it's what works for me)

It hasn't cured my depression, but it has given me hope. And that's more then I have ever had.
This prompted me to look into what happens when someone goes on strike, and was interested to read about "union strike funds" [1][2]. While I'm sure we all have opinions about unions, it's interesting to see the support they could, in theory, provide to create an environment of collective bargaining. I'm not a software engineer, but wonder if software engineers what that?

>I also disagree that libraries are better. You seem wary of JS, and that’s good, but no libraries are magical and none of them can be trusted to do something for you, unless you look under the hood.

I wouldn't go that far. You use glibc, right? Have you looked under its hood? If you're writing Java, have you really looked inside Spring or Hibernate? In the .Net world, how many people have really looked at the ASP.Net source code? How many Python developers look at the code for Requests? Even in Javascript, I can't remember the last time I had to crack open jQuery and take a look at its internals.
So what you are saying is about 40% of families need 5 seats minimum?

And if you want to be able to transport anyone else (kids have a friend coming over, give someone a ride, etc, etc) you need a 7 passenger vehicle?

How is that "quite small"?

Both sides would be trying to leverage their influence over other nations to adjust the balance so it could be a stalemate if neither side amassed enough support.

And, arguably, the cold war was similar and it seemed to have a net positive impact on research and development for both nations... It was just a matter of who could run the longest.
Is it digitalized or this is just a dumb board?
China may have been the fastest-improving country in the past decades, but in that same timespan, new technologies improved quality of life everywhere. Relatively, not much has changed, but in absolute terms, things are better.
Correct me if I'm wrong:

UTF-16 can be faster if you're iterating through characters, but for parsing iterating through bytes is usually sufficient. It's fine to use something like plain old strchr to search for a { or a < in a UTF-8 string. Characters only get really important when you want to print the string.
Poverty is not a disease. It's not a malady that can be treated or cured. It is a consequence of many factors, but above all it is primarily a consequence, not a cause. What causes poverty? Well like any other widespread social phenomenon, the causes are varied. Crime is an obvious one. Poor decision making is another. For example, a seemingly absurd 70% of windfall recipients go broke[1]. It's evident that the majority of Americans cannot or will not manage their finances prudently. This is largely independent of income too. Plenty of people with relatively low incomes control their spending, save money, and even retire early. Meanwhile plenty of people with high incomes don't save at all and end up broke.

Treating poverty as a disease to be palliated is an observable failure. The US alone has spent trillions of dollars since the won reducing poverty and all we have to show for it is a greater poverty rate than ever. I don't see how a free society can force its citizens to behave prudently, but I'd love to hear some ideas.

For those who are inclined to knee-jerk disagree, please realize none of this means we shouldn't have a social safety net. Sometimes bad things happen, from involuntary unemployment, to disability, or natural disaster. Various forms of effective net cash-flow assistance can be a great help to everyone, financially prudent or not.

Anyhow this problem is older than dirt, there's even an Aesop about it. Any successful approach is going to require a willingness to learn from failure.

Your parent comment is talking about people who feel an inuition about climate trends. Climate trends happen over long time periods. That violates the immiediate feedback condition.
> Why does Western Society have a fixation on only doing things that make sense for the rest of your life?

It's not western society, it's the ethos of the upper-middle class of western society, which emphasizes not only career stability but intergenerational success. And of course it's also concerned with differentiating itself from lower classes, thus the skepticism/condescension.

Poor and working-class Americans don't talk like that because their time horizons are as equally short as Chinese and Russian hustlers/go-getters.

> I am in no way poor, but if I lost my job and couldn't pay my bills, I'd be in trouble very quickly

Sounds like if you lost your job you could pay the bills. You're running into the difference between what is - for you - a hypothetical and what is for others a reality.

> That's no one's fault but my own

Bu-bu-bu-bullshit! This is completely discounting the role the entire rest of civilization has in producing the context within which you make your choices.

Here's an example: I met a homeless old couple at an encampment once, and they were there because they'd chosen to move out of the Section 8 housing they were in because the building was becoming a drug den. They chose to be homeless but I do not think it is reasonable to say it's "their fault".

I think what you're actually saying is "I don't want any responsibility for other people" which is fine, but realize a) there's a difference between that and someone's situation being their fault, c) a moral judgement by you is inappropriate, and b) "If Everybody Did" then we wouldn't have civilization. Some people need to, do, and should take responsibility for others, and you should disparage neither the needy nor the charitable on those grounds alone.

(Note: If everybody takes all responsibility for everyone else, you get tyranny instead. Balance and diversity!)
that's what my "really" was meant to convey... "they don't compete with each other" would be contra what you said, "they don't really compete with each other" isn't. A different way of saying it is "Trucking is not competitive with trains at certain distances"
It's always a pleasure (in a really, deeply, sordid and masochistic sense) to come across an article that discusses-with a tone of unmitigated shock, appall and horror-the level of taxation we Chicagoans have just come to live with as a way of life as sure as the Blue line to O'Hare is destined to have "significant delays" at 1pm on a Tuesday.

Cook County, Illinois and taxes, name a better duo-as the kids would say.
I know so many folks deeply underwater because they "floated" on credit card debt during lean times. I've been there, even, when I started my first company I ended up racking up tens of thousands of dollars worth of credit card debt, before finding a profitable niche (several years later than I expected...when I quit my first job I had $$36,000 in savings, which at ~25 seemed like a lot of money).

It's pretty dangerous to carry credit card debt, because it is so expensive to carry. Lots of folks get into the minimum payment trap, and the debt just keeps growing.

Purchasing power through real inflation adjusted wages hasn't increased since the 70's, but costs of living have [1]. I don't think "previous generations had it way worse" than us in all regards.

If someone is accused of X, but you "get them" for Y, and the sentencing is based on the fact that they "did" X... you never had a trial that proved that they did X, so anything you think you know about their guilt of X shouldn't be relevant to their sentence for Y. Because you don't really know.

And, even if you know mathematically without a doubt that "they did it" in point-of-fact, and you have all the evidence to back you up such that you're really sure that if you did have a trial, it'd be an open-and-shut case... you still can't assume. Because it's not about whether you see guilt or innocence when you look at the evidence; it's about whether the jury sees guilt or innocence when they look at the evidence.

Jury nullification means a jury can just decide, arbitrarily, that somebody's not guilty of something. And then double-jeopardy means that you can't ask that question again. It's been resolved, permanently: the accused has been declared innocent, in the eyes of the law—however strong your proof was! And any further judgements by the courts have to take, as input, that innocent verdict that came out of the trial; not the proof-of-guilt that went in but didn't survive.

What that implies, to me, is that in the Al Capone example, he should never have been treated as anything other than a regular tax evader, and should only have received a regular tax-evader's sentence.

I'm reminded heavily of the recent p-hacking controversy in science. Imagine a world where we "pre-register" a trial when an investigation is begun, and are then forced to go through with it (and pretend the government has the infinite money required to enable this.) In this world, that trial would likely declare the suspect innocent a lot of the time... and all the evidence gathered to do so would be "used up" by that trial. You couldn't turn around and use the same evidence to prove that "because he's guilty of X, it's more likely that..." anything else. Because, in the eyes of the law, he isn't guilty of X, and anything that proves that, doesn't. The evidence itself was nullified when the verdict was.

In the real world, just to save time and money, we don't bother to prosecute trials we know we'll lose. But shouldn't the effects still be the same as if we did? An optimization shouldn't change the semantics of the system.

> I was calm and just enjoyed the time while I was looking for a new job. I have money saved. For a lot of people that will have been an extremely stressful situation. That kind of stress is related to bad-decision taking

Without that phenomenon (the "must get a job very soon / now" mindset), loads of low paid / unskilled positions would just never be filled.

No-one would work crap jobs.

It feels to me like the economy is fundamentally structured around that concept, that most people don't have "FU money" and can't just sit around waiting for better employment situations.

To me, it feels like the alternative, even if you could fix it, would result in eliminating swathes of currently provided services.

Take food delivery as an example - the economics don't work out, because the driver and restauranteur would be paid about as well as the person ordering, or perhaps even more (because it's less desirable work) and it'd be hilariously expensive as a result.

Can we fix it?
Unfortunately, it's still copyrighted and so cannot be legally displayed or distributed by the internet archive for another ~65 years (95 years from publication for copyright to expire). Many of us won't be alive to see this code legally.

The copyright period could also increase again if the law retroactively increases it again.
I just wanted to point out that racism like that is on its last leg. I used to live in a rural, very conservative, upper class area. While they do watch fox news, they are not racist. Its close minded to call fox news racist or cnn socialist.
This makes sense. I'm at work 8+ hours a day, and I live alone with my significant other across the country, so the majority of my interactions take place at work. If I love what I do and who I do it with, why wouldn't I be happy?

Tabulator comes with 8 built in themes, two of witch use only the most minimal markup for the table to make the columns and rows distinguishable.

It also comes with a number of themes to help match other UI frameworks. See the themeing examples here:
http://tabulator.info/examples/4.1#theming

As well as built in themes it comes with extensive documentation on the CSS classes as well as overrideable SASS variables for all themes to make customising as easy as possible, more information can be found in the styling documentation:

In obesity rankings, Pacific island nations tend to top the list. I think Mexico is fatter than the US, as well as the the petrostates in the Middle East.

Your comment that "Ford Fusion and Focus are on global platforms" may explain why the Ford cars were so tiny when I looked at them last year. I felt like buying a Ford, but none of the cars had enough room for my head. I'm sure it helps fuel economy and knocks 1% off the price, and few people will care in South America or Asia, but it was a deal killer for me.
That reinforces my point. This developer didn't add any functionality. Functionality implies value. It implies that the software is functional towards a business goal. So, in my view, this developer added a bunch of code without generating any new functionality, increasing your liabilities while leaving your assets the same.

And yes, I've seen this same behavior as well, at other large firms. The best way to get a promotion is often to launch something, so people launch, and don't worry about whether the thing they've launched adds any new functionality, or is yet another reimplementation of an existing framework that will make some junior developer miserable.

Hrm....he says he hasn't tested it, but there was a remake of the game, and Lowe supposedly worked with them on it. You'd think they'd have jumped to at least examine the original source. Or maybe they explicitly decided not to check if the IP rights were owned by a different company than the one that owned the copyright for the code itself.

> That kind of stress is related to bad-decision taking and reduced life expectancy.

I can't tell if you're really meaning to say that people down on their luck are there because they deserve it. It's just not that black-and-white.

EDIT: I read this wrong. I agree with what you're saying, "related to" would have made more sense as "leads to".

> Nowadays they depend more and more on credits and increase the amount borrowed from their loans.

Why is this a problem if they can afford to take on the debt? Are you suggesting that debt is evil?

Amazon has performance targets that sellers should meet. Last time I saw them, the Pre-fulfillment Cancel Rate target is under 2.5% and the Late Shipment Rate is under 4%. (I'm not sure if they're different for different types of sellers on Amazon or if those are blanket targets for everyone, though.) If you end up on the wrong side of those targets, Amazon sends a warning, but you're not immediately suspended. It's unclear to me exactly at what point you do get suspended... I've seen it happen only when one of those rates gets up to 10% or so, but I've also seen it happen when one of those rates just goes about 1% higher than the target, so I suspect there are a lot of factors behind the scene that are considered (by an algorithm) before suspension/loss of selling privileges like negative feedback rates and other data Amazon measures for each seller.

I'm not a dropshipper, btw. Just someone who's been in charge of a book store's online sales (including on Amazon) for a while. Dropshippers actually drive me crazy because they're usually really bad customers. Many of them make lots of demands of the seller like emailing the tracking number separately (even though Amazon emails it automatically), and removing any pricing info from packing slips, or removing my store's name from packing slips. One drop shipper even asked that I put their store's name onto our packing slip and remove my store's name. All these demands that dropshippers have really slow down our order processing, since almost every single other order we get has no special demands.

Additionally, since they're not the end recipient of the shipments, if the end recipient has a question or issue they have to pass it along to us, and they often do so very poorly. They're often rude, frequently muddle the question, and sometimes make additional, outlandish demands, like "my customer thinks it's taking too long. send another book via overnight shipping or I'll leave a negative review!" I try to report as many of the worst offenders as possible to Amazon, but that takes time out of what I should be working on instead, and often Amazon doesn't care because Amazon Support can be almost as bad.

This may surprise you, but many people have high limit credit cards with APRs well below 20%, some even well below 10%. If you have great credit then you can get loans and credit pretty cheap.
I'm always fascinated by all the economists who write articles detailing the cost of protectionism to the American economy but I've never seen an article discussing how much Chinese economic policy costs them. Maybe I'm reading the wrong journals.
No, it's the other way around.

People fail, and then there's a downward spiral, because if you're poor you eat bad food and have no time and can't _think_.

That is to say, there wasn't necessarily 'choice' involved (beyond in some cases an initial choice which was made without full vision of the future).
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, you're totally correct, especially about the food scene stuff, some of the best Indian spots in Murray Hill are disappearing because the rent is on the rise.
For the nested markup and styling it sounds like a perfect fit for creating a web component no?

The virtual DOM, while very impressive, isn't necessary as well. Really depends on what problem you are solving there and what level of support you need for browsers. What problem are you solving? Many entries? Minimal cell mutation control?
Amazon does keep track of many seller performance metrics, including cancellation rate. I don't know what the softer penalties are, but they can and do freeze accounts, which is obviously horrible if it is your primary income.

They don't care whether you actually have the item in hand as long as you ship it in a timely fashion.

Business value requires functionality which requires code.

I don't think business value necessarily requires functionality. Business value is generated by code operating inside a specific business process. Only part of that process is software; the rest of it exists in the minds and the actions of the people interacting with the software. In some cases, it's easier to change the business process than it is to change the software.

Thank you.

Is that different from how Slack conversations or Twitter conversations have permalinks, in an interesting way? What starts a new conversation?
Google is terrible at this. They have no credible replacement for Hangouts, do they? I used and loved the old Google Talk. Then they shuttered it and pushed everyone to Hangouts, which is...the same? Not better, not worse, just a very similar experience, with maybe better voice/video support. So, now they're killing this one, too?

Is there a turf battle among teams over chat within Google? I can't think of any other reason for them to keep killing products that work and have millions of users with nearly identical products that have no users. So much wasted energy. How many times do they think people will switch platforms before switching to something else made by a company that won't kill the product every few years?
Allo, which is already being abandoned itself, never having gained the traction of Hangouts. Ultimately, it looks like Google is giving up in favor of RCS (the rich SMS protocol).
Hey Don,

on the whole the key is to stick to vanilla JS and avoid trying to use to forcible a design paradigm that could conflict with other frameworks.

Removing dependencies on other libraries was key to making it interoperable.

Everything in Tabulator is built to be extensible so where an incompatibility exists it is easy to build a solution for a particular framework.

Tabulator still has one hangup in the way it works, in that it dosnt use reactive data (changing the array you passed into the table, does not automatically update the table, unlike react and view, you have to bind watchers at the moment) but this will be coming in the next release. at which point they should all work harmoniously

The biggest challenge is to ensure that things are drawn correctly at the correct time. Because Tabulator uses a virtual DOM it makes it a since to redraw parts of the table when needed
Intellectual "Property" no longer is to promote progress of science and useful arts, it is a form of rent seeking. If the patent no longer promotes science and useful arts, then the 1st amendment applies and I view patents and copyright as unconstitutional in their current form. Patents inhibit the progress of science and copyright has no limit.
