I'm generally skeptical about SSRI's, but I think this goes too far into conspiracy territory.

The problem with SSRI's, especially in my experience and from my understanding, is that they aim for "mildly beneficial with minimal side effects" and hit somewhere closer to, "mildly beneficial with understated side effects that many patients will be too embarrassed to report". This doesn't mean SSRI's are total junk, but it does mean that they're kind of mediocre.

Ketamine is more of a high-risk high-reward drug, similar to the use of CNS stimulants to treat ADD. There's no question that amphetamines help people focus. There's also, understandably, far more concern about giving people amphetamines in the first place.

Also, it's easier to convince patients to take a boring prescription drug than to sell them on, "I think the real solution to your problem is this really scary-sounding drug that people take at raves; trust me, I'm a psychiatrist."
We could turn it into the worlds longest roller-coaster ride and sell it to Disney and recoup the tax payer money.
The problem with game dev isn't the entry level jobs.

Also a game dev union would probably work more like the film and TV trade/technical unions than SAG. I know people who work in film doing things from lighting to sound to driving. Their working conditions and pay are much better than they would be without the unions.
Because detail is how we bring stories to life. Otherwise all of our statements would be “I did a thing with a person.”

Right, because when you start a job that represents a lifetime obligation for the company to keep you gainfully employed.
The article says "non-game-development areas like publishing." Maybe it's a lie, IDK but people seem to be talking about game devs in here and I'm not sure they were directly impacted.
The US warrants can protect against wrongs in the US, but mean little outside the us. If we look too closely we can probably find some illegality somewhere, but everyone is now in the US and will probably never leave.

But do the same for political or trade reason and yes, they will cry foul.
let queryAll = (q: string): HTMLElement[] => {
let nodes = document.querySelectorAll(q);
return Array.from(nodes).filter(node => (node instanceof HTMLElement)) as HTMLElement[];
}

Will do the same. Note that `Array.from()` is a relatively new method, that you will need to polyfill if you wish to support internet explorer, but `Array.prototype.slice.call()` serves the same purpose and can be used in older browsers.
LA is a LOT better with this, and that's why they're actually building rail out. They've consolidated administration whereas the Bay Area is a fragmented rat's nest with BART being the best example of how toxic and provincial transit politics can be.
My approach to this is to make peace with the fact that I don't need to nor can read every interesting thing out there. So I choose 2-3 articles which seem promising (mostly based on a hunch and how people here react to them), send them to kindle using this website[1] during work and then reading on my way home. Personally, I have noticed, reading a few articles around topics are also better for retention compared to reading just the discussion around the same topics and 10 more. Still haven't figured out how/when to read books, but we'll get there some day :)

This is an anecdote, but I believe relevant.

I studied psychology as a mature student. One of the other adult students on my pre-degree course (kind of equivalent to community college I guess) had been a train driver. After two suicides on trains he was driving he'd developed clinical depression and been treated with ECT. This was around 2002, so it would have been the modern 'safer, targeted form of ECT'.

Ultimately despite an enormous amount of academic support on our programme he had to drop out. His permanent memory issues - a form of anterograde amnesia, were so bad he couldn't function academically, even at the limited level required to pass the course.

Depression is awful, monstrous, indescribably horrific and dehumanising. Losing ones mind, to me that's worse. As Hemingway said after his ECT (right before he committed suicide), "It was a brilliant cure but we lost the patient.”
The world doesn’t change by “getting things across” to CEOs and politicians. If a CEO’s enlightenment gets int the way of his fiduciary responsibilities, he will simple be replaced.

> I don't want some regulator mandating such "features" in my own car.

I hate to tell you this, but unless you bought a pre-1966 vehicle, there are already regulators mandating safety features on your car.

> I'll take responsibility for safe driving on myself, thank you.

As long as someone else is out there who can run into me through no fault of my own, I'd like some assurances that their vehicle has safety features that will protect me.
BART is not a fast train. It tops out at 80 mph, which it a speed it can't reach between most stations. Where it can reach that speed it often didn't because the motors on the older trains suffered from dramatically increased wear at those speeds.

I'm to depressed to look it up again, but there was a Psychologist Dr. Irving Kirsh whom used the Freedom of Information Act to study All the studies on antidepressants.

He found they didn't work better than Placebo.

I looked up the first thing I found on Google.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psych-unseen/201802/...

This is written about Kirsh's study, and it's confusing. Kirsh interpolation of the raw data showed that antidepressants don't work, and work less so for extremely depressed patients.

This doctor claims the opposite?

Pesonally, I find the research on the efficacy of antidepressants very confusing.

To those whom are depressed, I can offer this, it does get better with age.

>[1] And city dwellers in China sure as hell aren't living on a dollar a day. They are living nearly-first-world lifestyles.

This depends tremendously on the city. For Shanghai this may be true-ish, but there's much greater variation between Chinese cities and e.g. US cities.

Now take the lifestyle difference between NYC and Mobile, AL, but double it. Then multiply NYC lifestyle (e.g. income) by like ~0.6 (incomes are like ~0.3, but COL is a fraction of NYC excluding housing so the living standard gap is smaller than implied by incomes) to get Shanghai -- so use that as a baseline, but with the variation from the previous sentence. That's imo roughly what Chinese living standards are like (having been to Chinese cities of varying prosperity).
So use the money to build and LA-SF system. Merced to Bakersfield is insanity.

Yup, we see this pattern a lot. You get the benefits of fewer bytes on the wire, typed APIs, elimination of data fetching code, etc.

But it leaves a lot on the table. The bigger wins come when new features can draw from all your data (in unanticipated combinations) without new API or services development, when you can make new data available for every team's use just by plugging it into the central graph, and when you have a birds-eye view of exactly how all your data is being used so you know where to make further investments.
> If you want people to spend money on your game, preventing that by requiring they first buy a $1500 PC seems sub-optmial when everyone does in fact have a phone.

This is a strange way to look at it considering that Blizzard is primarily a PC game developer, and the extreme majority of their customers are PC gamers. They will already have the PC.

Blizzard is a AAA developer. Mobile games don't exactly have a reputation for being AAA quality. PC gamers often scoff at mobile gaming, and the Blizzard fan base has been hoping for a Diablo 4, so for them to announce a mobile Diablo feels like a slap in the face. It feels like they're abandoning their core audience in favor of the mobile world, which is frequently ridden with microtransactions.

California high speed rail is a great idea if they commit to it and deliver the full product. If that would be prohibitively expensive, take a step back, figure out why this country can't build things anymore, and address the blockers you can while swallowing the cost of the blockers you can't address. Either that, or give up. There's no damn point building a multi-billion-dollar monument to the decline of American civilization.

The only thing that could get a proper subway/el built in SF is $30B and a brutal, authoritarian government to do so. With today’s governance it would be 2049 before it’s complete and I’d be skeptical that all the lawsuits allowing construction would be settled before 2030.

You could use the same argument for Oxycontin surely. Heroin was always out there on the street, but it's only when opioids were prescribed to the masses via doctors that it reached ecedemic proportions.

Isn't it kind of selfish to think "I love the Diablo franchise" and then get mad when Blizzard tries to bring the franchise to the widest possible audience? Now billions of people have the opportunity to have as much fun as you did. Phones are the new PC. PCs are for hardcore gamers or specialized professions (nobody is going to do CAD on their phone). It doesn't matter how this makes you feel, that's the reality. People do not have home computers anymore. 33% of all HTTP traffic on the Internet is from mobile Safari!

No mention of StarCraft. This makes me sad. While I don‘t play video games anymore StarCraft was a big part of my childhood and it had a big influence on gaming and e-sports. I don‘t think Twitch and streaming would be as big if it weren‘t for StarCraft and the amazing people around it. Something about this game attracted driven people with great personalities.

there's more software jobs than just game dev or CRUD apps. sorry people, but it's called work for a reason. not every job is going to be a dream job. sometimes it's a job.
The major cost is land acquisition and infrastructure. Land is not cheap, and the US requires fair market compensation for such acquisition. And high speed rail and other infrastructure projects of this kind tend to need land in areas that are typically more expensive (urban areas, developed areas around existing transport networks, etc.)

Elevated railways still need land purchasing for the land you're building on top of. Tunnels are way too expensive to be an alternative to surface construction even with land acquisition considered. And you need to punch through two mountain ranges, to get from SF to the Central Valley and then back to LA.

IIRC JR and TGV both expressed interest in a privately funded CAHSR, but balked at the Central Valley alignment.

Here's some additional context for these layoffs:

As of June 2018 Blizzard employeed around 9,800 people[1]. So this layoff represents a turnover of ~8% of staff. Depending on Blizzard's base turnover rate, which I couldn't find, they may be better or worse overall than the industry turnover rate of ~15% [2]

Blizzard was considered one of the best companies to work for in 2018, at least by Forbes, though you can absolutely find examples of poor working conditions and unreasonable expectations as is the unfortunate par for the course in the games industry.

The 78 person studio mentioned in the article (Z2Live) was a second degree acquisition (acquired by King who was then acquired by Blizzard), with their last release being in 2012[3].

China is a lot more powerful every day. That’s not the same as saying they can expect to win if they challenge the US to battle.

I think you're misunderstanding my point. It's not that people will go to doctors and use it recreationally instead of getting off the black market. I'm sure that will happen to a certain degree but as you say it's not a huge driver to restricting treatments.

It's that millions of people will be taking it when they never would have before from a doctor, and it is definitely addictive. Drug companies have an insane incentive to down play/hide studies that show it is addictive.

> So assuming what we did wasn't good, what is a way you might make this work? Do you have a single code base like we did and just be more disciplined? Do you have a project whose job is to stitch together other schemas and pull in submodules? A monorepo for the entire company? Do you actually limit what the idea of the company is at some point to limit what the scope is that this should cover?

I think these are great questions. One approach that looks promising is the idea of modular schemas that can be stitched together into a larger graph. Quite a few large organizations are doing this now. I recommend watching a recent talk by Martijn Walraven for more on this idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFT9bSv3aYA
AUDIO: What Morgan Creek said to get public pensions to invest in crypto
Generally real-time systems are realtime at every level. The idea is that you don't have a situation where you need to send a terminate event, because the program would have already terminated.

The point of a realtime OS is not to make your programs run in real-time, but to make it possible for your programs to run in real-time. This is simply not possible on a general OS like Linux, because the kernel can always to do something else while your program is running.

Consider the software that drives the printhead in your printer. The timing here is critical. If a command gets sent too early or too late, the print will not come out right.

You probably don't want the OS to be what tells you to send a command every hundred millisecond. Getting this timing right is a core feature of your application, all you need from the OS is to not get in the way of your getting the timing right.

If you are in a state where you need to send a partial result then the program computing the result is likely not really realtime.
