I've had many discussions and much pain about this topic. Can you tell me what I wrote that was specifically wrong?

If backwards compatibility is guaranteed, turbofish cannot be "fixed". I can't find the link currently, but from my reddit post on this discussion the crucial quote from a language team member was:

> Our bar for doing backwards compatibility breaks has never been soundness fixes. We have in the past done changes given future-compatibility warning with lints and then made such changes without an edition.

The turbofish discussion also contains this quote:

> This RFC technically amounts to a backwards incompatible change without using the edition mechanism. However, as the RFC notes, a crater run was made and the syntax was not encountered at all.
We use Slack in a similar manner and the signal to noise ratio is extremely high. Some of our channels are key components of workflows. It's extremely easy to seek help or share information like links or code snippets. We're also very responsive, since it's always running on our workstations, laptops and phones. We'd probably frown on anyone treating it like a social media platform, though we do use it to let off steam once in a while.

You might “just” be depressed. You may also be in a bad place socially or professionally.

“Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.”

Change your environment and habits if you can. Go outside more, preferably somewhere with greenery and wildlife. Parks are great, places with few people are even better. If you don’t have an exercise habit, try and build one. Do things you enjoy. Hang out with people you like. If you can combine the two. Consider seeing a therapist or getting on SSRIs or done other drug. If you don’t see much of the sun you could just need more sunlight.

Read old philosophy on how to live the good life and apply its lessons as much as you can, whether it’s Seneca, the Enchiridon, Lucretius, Confucius or Xunzi. You are not alone and others have wrestled with these feelings. You can wrestle with them by yourself or you can do so with the help of those long dead, professionals, family or friends.

If your work feels meaningless and you want more meaning seek it out. Do work that means something. 80,000 Hours has a job board for people who want to do things that matter in their life and want to help people, lots of people. If that floats your boat look at their job board.

I think and feel along the same lines. Stoicism helps. As do various forms of escapism. Every time I felt overwhelmed by these feelings, it (in hindsight) turned out to be a symptom of depression.

I really, really, very strongly urge you to go and speak to your doctor for some further assistance. Don't let the black dog pull you down.
Indeed. There are 80+ channels in my workplace of 20 people. Most people are subscribed to just a few relevant to their current projects and there is zero expectation that a non direct message will be read by subscribers until they are next focused on the project. It serves a semi public record of what’s going on and a place for questions, notifications of important updates. It makes it easier for me to focus on work not harder since I can drop out for hours or days and trust that I can come back and be well informed.
Ignorance is a bliss, really. We are badly wired to agonized over the the future. It 's comforting to know generally that the future is pretty much deterministic , in fact it is already there waiting for our timelines to cross it, mechanistically. Thinking of an idealized future on the other hand is quite self-serving . It makes one feel good, but it's not real , it s just a fantasy like any other.

This is not Nature, this is "scientific report", which is not a bad journal but no Nature either.
Certainly more plausible than him not keeping his room tidy.
There have been a number of studies in the past 5 years or so enumerating the benefits of intermittent fasting, and providing quantitative guidance on how to do so effectively and with net physiological benefit.

Equating that to anorexia, a psychological disorder whose eating habits are driven in large part through an inaccurate perception of one's own body mass rather than any quantifiable parameter for food intake or target weight, with a relatively high mortality rate... it's comparing apples to mud pies.

It's a comparison that can only be made if you, like the author Monica Hesse (whose background is ... in writing columns that inflame people), look at these two things at only the most superficial level of "dieting." Congrats WaPo, BuzzFeed isn't alone - you, too, can publish absolute pap!

> Why should I need an account to listen to BBC content?

It doesn't apply to audio of course, but watching BBC video content now requires you to be a licence payer doesn't it? So they need to know who you are. I guess they just extended the system to all content for simplicity.
My experience exactly. The most common observation with Slack is how people praise it as the next big thing in productivity. But this is always during the honeymoon phase, after a few months of working with Slack it usually quickly wears off.
Frankly, the world is hopeless and lost. Physicists don't debate so much that the universe will end someday as how it will end. Each and every one of us is destined to be dust. Ultimately, all creation is ephemeral, but that doesn't make it less valuable.

Suffering is just a part of living and, more importantly, a requirement of growth. Think back and ask yourself if at any point in your life where you grew significantly as a person there wasn't suffering involved. It is the same with humanity as a whole. We have challenges set before us, in order to grow we'll have to deal with them. Think of it as a selection pressure, many paths are attempted and the ones that fail are ultimately trimmed, but they were necessary none the less. We may not succeed. Humanity may ultimately be unable to overcome the challenges presented by this stage of its development, but that's ok, the universe is a big place and it is likely that someone out there will, and even if they don't, well, the end result is the same anyway.

I wish there were a simple model I could give you to work with, but the problem with simple models is that they're inaccurate abstractions. The map is not the territory and all that. Navigating the complexities of what you should and shouldn't do is something you'll have to work on, but let me offer this as a starting point: You're going to die some day, therefore mere survival is a meaningless goal because you've already failed. Knowing this, presumably there is a world in which you would rather not live. Imagine what that world looks like and ask yourself "am I contributing towards creating that world?", and if the answer is "yes, definitely", then maybe you should stop.

Hyper-capitalist companies (naturally) make the most money and therefore often offer the best compensation, but compensation isn't everything. Life isn't about achieving the high-score, because you still die in the end and eventually you'll be forgotten. You are ephemeral, just like everything else. Why subject yourself to the misery of knowing you're helping make the world a worse place? You can find another job. You likely won't be compensated as well, and as a result will have a less comfortable life, you may even be mocked by your peers for not being as successful, but so what? You don't have to win. No one is handing out medals at the end of all this.
My mistake. Yeah, people easing over from the left lane going slower than you or just in front of you is annoying. The only real way to combat this is to make them commit to going faster than you by speeding up, or going slower than you by keeping them boxed in. All in all, sounds possible like not great cruise conditions, which is pretty much all the time in most metro areas now.
All screws here are metric, except for PC computer cases, harddrives etc. And screens, as mentioned. Everywhere the US influences global technology, the imperial units show up.
Yes they are and information is useful, but do you think all shorts are informative? and do you think these shorts are? I think these shorts are opportunistic and seek an advantage not an informed position. The longs by and large in Tesla believe about an industrial transformation.

I think musk is a very flawed capitalist, but I think Tesla is interesting as a company. Panasonic is huge. Their decision to invest in the battery plant speaks to me more than the shorts do. Likewise the Chinese decision to invest in the gigafactory. These are not short positions, they are major long-term capital investment which is continuing.

There are things in this world you cannot control. In fact there is probably just one thing you CAN control, and that is yourself and how you react to everything else around you. Focus on that. Everything else is out of your control anyway.

Step away from "news" and read Better Angels of our Nature by Stephen Pinker: https://www.amazon.com/Better-Angels-Our-Nature-Violence/dp/...

Not only is the world better than ever, it is getting better faster than ever, and it's accelerating.

The news is getting more negative as the world gets better. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1461670X.2018.1...

This is happening because as subscription revenue dries up, the media is incentivized toward click-bait, and the human brain is biased toward negativity. As a hunter-gatherer, a negative incident can have much worse consequences than can a positive one, so we've evolved toward a negative bias for survival reasons.
It's not on this page, but Zarf's System's Twilight is a fantastic puzzle game, one of my favorites. It was the first shareware game I paid for, way way back in the day (early 90s). (https://www.eblong.com/zarf/twilight/index.html)
Get a bike.

Fixing your own life is usually the cure for worrying too much about the world and everyone else. Give it a try, go see a therapist and find out what the root issue is. A minor depression isn't something to be ashamed of, wasting your life without identifying and getting rid of it, might be.
To me, this can be taken as an argument against the post's premise. Could there be any e-communication tool more asynchronous than email? (Except for notifications, which you can turn off). I am not blaming Knuth, he must really dislike distraction of any sort.

However, having lived pre- and post-Slack period, I can't say that Slack has worsened the situation. When there wasn't Slack, I had people coming to my desk to ask the question (vastly more distracting). We had meetings for tiny questions and they stretched far too long. The culture of company that is far more responsible than any single tool.
Correct. TV licenses apply to TV content.

We don't have radio licenses any more. You don't need a TV license to listen to radio.

> I guess they just extended the system to all content for simplicity.

The 'iPlayer' app (web and native) is entirely different to the 'iPlayer Radio' and 'Sounds' apps. It's not simple to add auth to apps totally unrelated to TV.
What do you mean by "demands"? You can react to a notification or not. You can reduce the notifications. Slack itself doesn't force you to do anything.

The following areas are pretty though when building a new database:

- transactions
- proper paging
- indexes
- query engine
- and more ...

However, if they use postgresql as a base.. it significantly improves the stability and feature completeness. Especially if it is only a different frontend (query language and schema).
Especially when 30 seconds of following links shows the author is almost certainly not a native speaker of English. That the only problem was substituting "at" for "in" should have been a clue.

What? There are tonnes of critics and conspiracy theorists. Look up 'TV licensing' on YouTube. I am not one of those.

I am very grateful that we have Radio 3, 4 and various podcasts. The news is generally balanced and generally of high quality. I think that's reasonable contextualization for the comment.
I can't help but eyeroll at that dumb trope of people unwilling to accept the genetic link as someone actually autistic but it brings to mind a socratically trolling joke.

"Doesn't this imply that being neurotypical is the actual disease and we have the means to deploy a cure for it?" Not a serious position but one to hopefully get people thinking about norms.
If we want to be pedantic about it, then it is enough that a person who lives in a area where weed is legal and they consider to visit a area where it is not legal and don't explicitly declare that they intend to leave the weed at home. You don't need to add the "massive amount" aspect, as it would be a crime if they made the trip, which then makes it a conspiracy.

But that is not how the law get enforced, and people don't get extradited for crimes like that. They don't even get extradited when you have evidence of committed crimes like speeding, which maximum punishment is longer than cracking a password.
Shift just shut down, apparently. So that’s at least one difference. From their website:

Two practical suggestions:

1. Avoid reading bad, sensationalist news about things you have no control over. Staying informed is good, but if it makes you sick you have to reduce your information intake.

2. Get checked for clinical depression.

Weltschmerz isn't a bad thing as long as it doesn't paralyze you. I my experience, as long as I have something positive to contribute I'm good. My family, my job and my hobbies demand so much attention from me that I actually miss basking in sadness like a teenager sometimes.

Also, be thankful that other people's suffering makes you feel strong emotions. As I said, tune out for some time if you feel like you can't take it anymore.

You forgot about RocketLabs in Auckland. (I know they're no where near to SpaceX/BlueOrigin, but I know people who work there, so it kinda has a special place in my heart).

I have to minimize Slack throughout the day in order to get work done, and I try to only pay attention to it when I hear the alert noise when someone @'s me, which unfortunately I mis-hear all the time.

My brain thinks it hears that alert noise beneath the music I have playing, or if I go to the other room it thinks it hears it from afar, so I run back to my desk to see if someone is messaging me.

I hate that I have been conditioned this way, but I don't foresee it changing in my workplace any time soon. Some people I work with are on Slack all day chatting, and I really question if they are ever doing anything else.
I absolutely love hearing stories from astronauts about how quickly they adapt to microgravity and how easy it is to forget when they come back.

Things like stories of them suddenly letting go of stuff they are holding on earth and expecting it to float there, or reaching out to grab on to a wall to stop themselves while walking down a hallway.

I've tried using the current version of Sheets App Script for some advanced business functionality, but it's horrendously slow - taking over 10 seconds to loop over just 5000 rows. And they're using an ancient version of js, making development annoying.

I really hope that this announcement would herald a renewed interest on their side in improving Sheets as a whole.
Yup, I just don't participate. I miss out on some things but it's worth it for avoiding the distraction IMO. If anyone needs me they can email, Skype or god forbid speak to me in person.
Are you saying 85dB is "pleasurable"?
I love RocketLabs. But lets be real, that's a tiny launcher. It really not in the same market as SpaceX, BO, ESA, ULA and so on.

There are quite a few tiny launchers coming and RocketLabs is ahead of everybody. They did a great job, major probs.

Can I copy a module from an old project into a new crate and it will always work without adjustments?

What about code examples from StackOverflow, or Github issues? Will these work without adjustments in my local project?

Will a future syntax highlighter always be able to highlight the code in my old Rust articles?

Will future tooling always be able to read my current code?

Can I make editor macros and snippets that will keep working in every version of Rust?

If I can write code in one crate and it will compile, but then write it again in another, newer crate and it doesn't, then it isn't backwards compatible. Plus, as noted above, "code will keep compiling" isn't even a guarantee that the language team gives you.
That’s all in Google Knowledge Graph. They dropped it because it makes finding information too easy. And hence, competitor search engines could get info out of it super cheaply.
There are degrees of this. If you compare science reporting against the mainstream financial news it is like chalk and cheese. If the numbers represent money, technical jargon is everywhere, if the subject is scientific, even the numbers are considered scary, never mind a technical discussion around them.
It's an interesting issue with the fairings, and I'm interested to see what (or if) they're going to solve the issue with the saltwater contaminated fairings.

Being a SpaceX launcher, as the article indicates, means they can accept higher risks, but in turn has a greater financial risk to the company. It's times like this where I'm glad SpaceX is a private company.
Regarding the migrations, any more information on that?
Hi preya2k,

I know what you wanna say, and I think its only a "point of view"...

So for example: Murder
You think there is more and more of "murdering" going on? Well, that's a subjective point of view. In fact, the murder rate is going downwards https://ourworldindata.org/homicides#usa

Also, just looking at the dark side is not helping much ... take a look at the dark side AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

ALSO: Have a look at the bright side: Life Expectancy is climbing year by year in almost all countries. Dying of cancer is also declining https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cancer-death-rates-by-typ...

I'm not saying that all these bad things are not terrible itself, but it is YOUR subjective point of view that leads to a pessimistic or optimistic world. This means, you can choose your point of view and you personally can change the world. It does not matter if it was you directly changing the world, it's enough if you once meet someone and change his point of view, which in turn might change the world 10, 20 years later on.

About climate change: Currently it looks like we are directly heading into hell. But again, its your point of view AND your personal action to do something about your concerns. Don't use a car, just use a bike. I think this would be enough to change the world. If everybody choose to do this, there would be no more problems with climate change.

To say if differently: There are no alternatives to being optimistic!

Best wishes for the future,

Chris
It would be a good start if you can work that inspires you. You can do some part time stuff or volunteering on weekends, these activities will recharge you and make you feel less overwhelmed by this dystopian scenarios. May be these small gestures of you, will make a better place for someone else.
> In the real world, there is zero reward for mentoring.

In my experience, it can result in a life long friendship, and getting the project to alpha level in time.

> Moreover, if you do it, you might get fired and be replaced by the now cheaper mentee.

Strangely enough, that too happened. While it was cold comfort to me, it did kill the company because the mentee hadn't yet learned enough to cover all the areas I was expert in, and he didn't want to work in a place like that.
