I second this approach.

I used to be extremely depressed. If you are low on a single vitamin or mineral it can mess you up.

Most of the food we eat now tends to be lower in key micronutrients. Add stress, caffeine, lack of sun, alcohol, lack of sleep and those micronutrients can get consumed or flushed out of your body fast.

Exercise can also deplete those key nutrients due to sweat.

Now I take a shotgun approach, supplement all vitamins and minerals and then begin trying to add more structure and discipline to my life to control the feeling of helplessness and chaos.

Depression is complicated.
And not only that, Java came with portable standard libraries for pretty much everything: collections, threads, networking, GUI, database interface, etc, which are as much part of Java as the language itself: the Java runtime. C and C++ had some standard libs too, but nowhere near as many. So, it was not only that you could rely on your compiled code to be portable, you could rely on many crucial libs and dependencies being portable too, something which we may take for granted these days.
You could give up trying to change their policies and do an ugly hack: find a tool that will let you programmatically insert metadata into the new format, then kludge up something to go through your account, screen-scraping the metadata, grabbing the video, and calling the metadata-insertion tool. Or since it sounds like you maybe have all the videos already just screen-scrape the metadata, figure out the appropriate file name, and inject the data.

"Above all, remember what we must provide is a pou sto to last the student for 40 years, not a handbook for tomorrow’s employment."

At least around here, this strikes a nerve. Especially 40 years later. All of the colleges in town prep for the local market of tech rather than the fundamentals that may be advantageous overall and potentially financially more so out of market. I know stellar remote and small / mid size shop engineers in this part of the south, but by and large the schools are completely myopic about this and perpetuate the microcosm of low paid enterprise focused sweatshop cubework. I realize to paint it with such language is hyperbole but it's certainly not the exception to the rule.
I assume there are many other places that are also "warm" and have english speakers, so it's presumably not that strange. What else is it you like about those places, that you'd singled them out?

I got very depressed because I actually had undiagnosed Aspergers.

This caused me to get bullied, have problems in school which then turned into depression later. People with Aspergers are incredibly sensitive and blind to emotions making them easy targets.

The root cause for me was the Aspergers. What tipped me over the edge was not knowing I was different and being put into a school environment not suited for someone with all the sensitivities associated with Aspergers.

Yes bad things happened to me that made be depressed, but there was more going on.
Sun spent a whole lot of cash advocating for Java. From some very nice, slick books to their own salespeople. It was the "internet language" with Javascript supposed to be its lesser cousin. I was going to teach a programming class at an out of the way community college in fall of 96 and someone from Sun called me about it. I took it they were a bit serious. It was also billed as a better C++. I don't think anyone since has put that much juice behind a language. The nearest thing is Apple with Swift which is still platform limited.

> Next, strtok is not thread-safe. That's because it uses a static buffer internally. So, you should take care that only one thread in your program calls strtok at a time.

I wonder why strtok() does not use an output parameter similar to scanf() — and return the number of tokens. Something like:

int strtok(char *str, char *delim, char **tokens);

Granted, it would involve dynamic memory allocation and the implementation that immediately comes to mind would be less efficient than the current implementation, but surely it’s worth eliminating the kind of bugs the current strtok() can introduce?

Does anyone here have the historical prospective?

RIP, Tim.

Cypherpunk Movement, leaded by Tim May is an established ideology and movement since the late 80s. At the time, they were the most prominent supporters of individual privacy and digital liberty. It was them, who helped to build the EFF DES cracker to expose the lies of FBI about DES’s security, and forced the U.S government moving to the 128-bit encryption standard. It was them, who successfully stopped the NSA’s plan to install mandatory encryption backdoor on the telephone system. And it was also them, who fought against the regulation of cryptography through various means, and effectively ended it.

They were also the earliest researchers on practical technology to defend privacy. The very idea of an anonymous communication system was purposed by David Chaum in 1981, and implemented as Type I Cypherpunk Anonymous Remailer. By purely coincidence, the syntax used in the control messages allows the user to chain multiple remailers, and hence the concept of Onion Routing was discovered. Cypherpunks also recognized the importance of cash — an anonymous payment system in the past 3000 years, urgently needed a electronic version to stop the enablement of a surveillance state in the digital age. The original vision was also purposed by David Chaum, but it faced various difficulties, especially the problem of consensus and double-spending (Chaum's own centralized payment processor was good, but did not succeed commercially, but check GNU/Taler!), so it was under constant discussion throughout the entire 90s, until Satoshi Nakomoto, presumably a Cypherpunk, purposed a workable, but perhaps less-favorable solution 10 years later. The inventor of computer firewall, Steven Bellovin, and the first developer of a commercial firewall, Marcus Ranum, were also cypherpunks. The entire concept of deniable cryptography was also invented by the cypherpunks, specifically, first implemented in a Linux Full-Disk Encryption program by Julian Assange.

Speaking as someone in the TVA service area: it doesn't get any better. In fact, it gets worse.
Cypherpunks, were also the root of many, if not all, security and cryptography tools and projects used by everyone today. You name it, it’s probably has a cypherpunk personally involved, or derived from a cypherpunk prototypes, or at least some some degrees of involvements. SSH, PGP/OpenPGP/GnuPG, Tor, OTR, OpenSSL/SSL, GNU Radio, Warrant Canary, TrueCrypt, HashCash, WikiLeaks, Linux’s /dev/random, just to name a few. Yeah, these are not just independent project, but they were created by the large Cypherpunk movement.

Yes, the original mailing list was a victim of its own success — it disintegrated in 2000 because the entire fields of privacy, cryptography the movement kickstarted, turned to be too diverse to be contained in a single mailing list.

>“The main reason the list doesn’t seem to have the center of gravity anymore is the topic has gotten so big and gone in so many directions,” Wayner says. “It used to be you could read maybe (the newsgroup) comp.risks and Cypherpunks and you had read all there was. Now there are so many things going on it can’t be the center of gravity, it can’t be the center of all things.”

You don't have to agree Tim May's Anarcho-Capitalist position or everything he has said, but I think we can all agree that the victory of the First Crypto War is our timeless legacy and his largest contributions (as a leader) to the Internet.
its not making stuff up to say that oil is a much more flexible resource than ex solar or wind. That doesent mean its without consequences but you have to weight those up against non mechanical factors.
I don’t get your point.

Maybe they're not making up the difference on the bottom line... maybe they're equivalent to Walmart, running on a lean margin and hoping to make it worthwhile through volume, and the wall street banks are Saks, charging more and earning higher margins.
Human existence have a cost. Why you would be more worried about the wellbeing of future generation than the current one i have no idea. Mass extinction can happen without co2 as we saw with dinosaurs and i would rather have a fighting chance against mother nature than to succumb to her. But each to their own of course.
It was published almost 40 years ago. I think to get the best experience of it, you have to have read it back then, or read it as a precocious 14 year old. If you read it with a graduate or even undergraduate understanding of computer science, you're probably not going to get much out of it on the technical side; and I think a lot of his conjectures about how the mind works didn't really pan out.

If you approach it as an object of art, the book is fun because it embeds into itself many of the techniques and principles it describes (but you'll only notice this if you're paying attention). This is kinda cool on a meta-meta level because the central concept of the book is self-referentiality.
Grokking the System Design Interview [1] is also a useful resource. Good luck in your preps.

Without light (i.e. free moving electromagnetic waves in a straight line) there would be no communication, and all interaction would be local. Particles would only be able to affect, sense and interact with their immediate surrounding particles. I wonder kind of universe that would be?

Selection bias. Photographer primarily captured the unusual/interesting things that stood out to him.

No horses in cities, tons of mostly domestic cars. New sedan was ~$1500-2000 in the eighties/early nineties. Average 1986 wage was $350/year, but by 1992 went up to ~$1500, so the cheapest Polish sedan, Fiat 125P, was 60 to 12 monthly wages. Western sedan would cost >$15000 before 1989 (end of Russian occupation). Officially only a handful of people made enough money to afford a car. You had privileged blue collar jobs like miner, foundry worker, sailors on border crossing ships, airplane crews. Then there was totally separate, protected class - high ranking party officials, directors of state run companies, security apparatus, diplomats etc. Unofficially almost everyone had an angle, smuggling, making moonshine, running unregistered slaughterhouse, farming on a side, stealing from state owned enterprises, taking bribes etc. My father got first car, brand new domestic sedan, as a present from his parents, paid by bribes (undertaker). Crashed it promptly and was forced to start working, we moved to Silesia for a year which made enough money to buy another new car and rent big apartment in the capital city. After that he started smuggling crystal glass, jewelry and furs to Germany/Turkey, making ~100x average official wage, but that ended quickly after communism fell.

No, I'm sorry, that's not how things work.

You can say the license isn't "open source." The term has a well-defined meaning provided by the OSI, and they arguably have the right to define what it means and which licenses meet the definition, being the ones who pretty much invented the term.

You DO NOT, however, get to also define the meaning of the word "proprietary." The English language is not your plaything, and you have not been given dictatorial rights to re-define words as you wish. "Proprietary" does not suddenly mean "restricts any of the four freedoms" just because you said so. When antt calls this instance a misuse of the word, [s]he is relying on the common English meaning of the term, which very much supports their point. Your rebuttal is pretty much "nuh-uh because we're now using a different definition."

> "Could you explain the feeling of severe intoxication to someone who's never experienced it?" Would they truly understand?

Hm, good thought experiment. My first thought: foggy headed like after getting only a few hours of sleep, but actually feeling generally happy rather than grumpy.

Depression is harder. Take your groggiest, most unmotivated feeling, remove the grogginess and add incredible frustration and helplessness over the fact that you have no reason to feel that way and seemingly no influence on it.
I think his point: "If it asks you for a solution that doesn't exist, It's a Riddle" is a perfectly valid point and your comment was a bit "overreactive", in my opinion.
Growth at any cost was not the capitalistic model of Adam Smith. Modern capitalism is the Anti thesis of what Adam Smith dreamed. Any unchecked growth is just cancer.

But West alone cannot be blamed, It is not that people in the East are any different despite having all the ancient wisdom of . Two big torch bearer of Eastern values India and China are aping the west. I come from India so have experienced this change in values personally.

On the other-hand when I arrived in West a decade ago, I was in awe of luxuries. Slowly I realized how wasteful and inefficient this model is.
I don't think the single combat warrior is the right analogy for the article. Instead, to me it felt more like a "The Emperor's New Clothes" kind of situation, in which a naive [1] youngster inadvertently exposed the dysfunction of the organisation. Judging by the author's description, nothing that could have solved the performance problem – not even a simple config parameter – would have gone over well in the war between the two factions.

[1] "Naive" as in unaware of the ongoing office politics.
The article gives the answer early on - the company is still in a phase of change from selling GE Capital - for 20 years they were used to using Capital as a source of excess cash to paper over other temporary market issues elsewhere in the company - they no longer have that ability - so now the cyclical nature of normal business will show directly on their balance sheets and statements.

GE will probably be just fine - in a decade.
I completely believe you - but think about how absurd that is. Why did any of them want to write any rust a month ago? Were all rust users really naive/dumb to think that rust 1.29 was any good at all? Only 2 months later they never want to write Rust 1.29 ever again!

I can be quite productive with C and Python from 10 years ago. Most Go I programs I write happen to be compatible with Go-1.7 from 2016, but I could go back to Go-1.4 from 2014 without much trouble if I had a reason to. Coincidentally, you can build the latest Go toolchain with Go-1.4, which was the last version written in C. I guess the Golang authors are just superhuman engineers, huh ...

Tokamak fusion plants 10 times the output of the biggest power plants today are likely to work, but no one would want such huge plants on the grid. When it needs to shut down for maintenance, that amount of power cannot be easily replaced. If it was used only for hydrocarbon synthesis, hydrogen generation, or seawater desalination, this could work, but not for electricity generation.
I'm not suggesting "the memories may be false or distorted" and I agree with your sentiment expressed above.

What I'm saying is that your theory - "I believe past trauma is the root cause and I doubt people have depression if they haven't had some type of experience they would classify as trauma" was proven false in the study I cited.

It found that one in four depression sufferers had no childhood trauma to speak of.

Your (apparent?) explanation for this - that 1 in 4 depression suffers have simply suppressed their trauma memories - has no scientific basis.

It all gives the appearance that you're projecting your own personal experience without providing evidence.
As someone who took Latin in high school, the stepping stone argument always felt a bit disingenuous. There seemed to be a component of not wanting to admit it was being taught primarily because it was part of a traditional Classics education among Western upper classes. As opposed to a useful skill of some sort.

I have absolutely nothing against traditional Classics though I’m not sure how good a fit they are with typical US public high schools today. However I’m pretty skeptical that a few years of Latin—as opposed to Spanish, German, or French (which I also took) or something else entirely—is a uniquely good use of time.
