Just install the ISO, connect two phones (or softphones) and play around with it a bit. It's a lot of fun, and it's useful IRL.

For example, inbound queues (+QueueMetrics for monitoring) are very useful to share work on the basis of "what" instead of "who", even if you have a just a few people on the system.

AGI scripts + Google TTS are a no-brainer to use and get you nice voice messages.

Voicemail to e-mail is simple to set up and you can add transcription as well.

There is a lot you can hack on and everything can be set up as needed.
I normally like your comments.

And, sorry, we don't all know that it isn't a magic bullet. Thus the people who seem personally invested in this stuff like its a conspiracy and the one true thing is being kept down by the man.

Again, I've seen your other comments. You know full well that it's a problem that other systems tackled with language and hardware support. Why is Rust the one true way when there are other approaches that have worked in the past?

Did you see that other comment about using C as "a toxic cesspool that's undermining civilization"? That's a tad much, right? It's a type of technical myopia. Software isn't undermining civilization. We are, by having perverse incentives in multiple areas of life that make it more profitable to prioritize one thing over another.

It's also the same kind of stupid that makes people think they are a freedom fighter because they use Debian.

It's also boring. So, yeah. Thanks.
No one is saying they should have a monopoly. If their logo is going to be on it, though, they should have a say in the quality of the repair. Millions of shitty repairs could do irreparable damage to their brand and business and they should at least have some ability to fight that.

It'd be like me going around telling people that I'm doing things on your behalf and you having no way to keep me from doing that. Individuals have legal protections against that kind of thing. Right now, that hasn't been addressed yet legally in terms of companies.
The US is the target country for most migrants, they don't continue on through to Canada in large numbers. If they did, most would likely get deported, Canada's immigration is highly selective.
This is true in some cases, and false in others.

Lacan is very interesting.

I was suspicious about Freud since being a teenager and was told by two long-term psychiatrists I've had that psychoanalysis is not-even-wrong-bullshit, which it is -- but nevertheless, Lacan is just so interesting.

I heartily recommend Malcolm Bowie's biography titled "Lacan". Bowie engages with Lacan work rather than life-of-lacan trivia and comes across both very skeptical but very impressed of its scope and grandeur too.

I recently wrote this about Lacan: https://asemichorizon.wordpress.com/2019/08/18/jacquess-prom...
When was the last time you've tried? There's plenty of Clojure jobs today. Many Clojure companies (if not the most) are willing to hire remote. Clojure is steadily growing. Clojure conferences popping around the globe - Clojure/South, Clojure/North, Heart Of Clojure, ClojureTRE, Dutch Clojure Days, ClojureX (it feels like every European country has its own Clojure conf now).

I've been using Clojure for almost four years - switched three different jobs, never had a problem with finding a Clojure gig.

There are #jobs and #jobs-discuss channels on Clojurians Slack, watch those, some good job postings happen there.
At some point, it's a better financial move to rent instead of own. That is true in many American cities (much of NYC, for example). Housing bubbles happen. Try not to buy into one.
The Canadian tiers of government are very similar to the US. The one difference (AFAIK) is there is no "county" government or equivalent.

I'm visually transgender because of the abuse experienced in the USA. I find out after moving to Canada with a degree, that Starbucks will cover all surgeries a transgender person needs and only for USA employees. That's awesome but after living in the USA, I would still stick it out here in Canada and even if I end up committing suicide in the following months.

Sure, the first nations people have had awful experiences and it's comparable to African Americans in the USA. The thing is that the first nations people still can get the resources and benefits here in Canada that I listed; unlike what's in the USA.

I don't understand what you're asking. Of course it is. If you just want cheap telephone service in your home, or even a somewhat featureful VOIP PBX for your 1-2 employee small business, then the cloud solutions are best.

If your goal is to learn VOIP, or you have a larger business, you're now looking at $200+/month for 10+ users. That starts being real money.

Even if it's just a personal setup, and it takes you say 4 hours to setup a per-minute voice setup, $10 less per month is $120/year, and a setup like this could easily last 3 years, now you're looking at $360 savings for 4 hours work. Not too bad at an hourly rate, and that's valuing the learning and fun of setting up such a system at $0.
Yes.

Creating a chest fridge from a freezer is actually trivial at least in simple chest freezer units. Just swap out the thermostat for a fridge one and everything works. The freezer thermostats just work on a different temperarure range but they're interchangeable.

I learned this when I was about to hack together a chest fridge with a PID controler and the appliance repair shop where I went to get parts gave me the XY problem question. Once I told them what I was doing they just did the thermostat replacement instead in no time.

Obviously horrific but a major failing of the study is that it doesn't state what percentage of the teens who committed suicide actually watched or were even aware of Netflix's "13 Reasons Why". The conclusions are drawn from very indirect evidence.
Reading yes, executing yes, reading for the sole purpose to upload to a remote server?.... barf and egregious
I agree. All I see here is: "We know any reasonably smooth function can be approximated by a neural net, likewise it can be approximated by a polynomial. So they're the same!" Imagine how it's going to blow their minds when they find out about Fourier transforms or wavelets!

There are lots of ways to approximate functions; the property of NNs that make them attractive for ML isn't the universal approximation theorem. It's that there's a fast, robust method of training then that's easy to implement, easy to vectorize, easy to parallelize, and easy to customize for different applications.
"When researchers analyzed the data by sex, they found the increase in the suicide rate was primarily driven by significant increases in suicide in young males. While suicide rates for females increased after the show’s release, the increase was not statistically significant."

I have watched the series. I wonder why males saw a significant increase in suicides if the show revolved around a female suicide. And, yes, I understand they didn't find direct causation.

There explanation at the end was refreshing.

"While compelling, this research had several limitations. For example, the study used a quasi-experimental design, meaning that the researchers cannot make a causal link between the release of “13 Reasons Why” and the observed changes in suicide rates. The researchers cannot, therefore, rule out the possibility that unmeasured events or factors influenced suicide rates during this period."
I'm curious if there's an unusual dip after the spike. In other words, it might have accelerated some suicides, versus adding to the overall rate over a longer time period.

JS tried to add (optional) type hints in the ES4 standard that was never adopted (outside of tangential things like ActionScript 3).

It would be great if Typescript hints could pass right along to the JITs as useful optimization factors, but it currently sounds like TC39 would prefer not to recreate the disasters of ES4 and are staying out of type hints for the forseeable future.

(Well-typed code should prevent most JIT bailouts, at least. Typescript linters could possibly give even better "shape" warnings than they currently do, such as catching the issue the React team recently found of bailouts in the V8 engine due to "shapes" being built with "small integers" being reallocated to doubles at runtime. However, such lint warnings would probably be JIT engine specific, and maybe premature optimization in 90%+ of usages.)

On its face, it sounds like it would be. It definitely gives more choices. It also opens up an entire world for consumers to get fleeced by shitty, shady third-party repair shops that have no accountability for a device/devices that most people are unequipped to deal with.

Providing parts and manuals for car repairs seems like a very pro-consumer move until you look at the reality of the situation and see that people get fleeced by shady mechanics and repair shops so often that there's a stereotype around it. I'm all for accessibility but I think there needs to be some kind of accountability that goes along with it.

Makes sense. But how do we address it? It’s not like we can stop the media from reporting on such things. Perhaps the show could have been rated for adults only?

It seems like teens today do face challenges that weren’t faced by my generation or the ones before that. Social media, internet enabled always on devices seem to have changed the experience of being a teenager. Perhaps there are deeper issues at stake that need addressing?

The scary thing is that both this article and the example you cited are used as reasons to limit constitutional freedoms:

Limit second amendment more to prevent mass shootings.

Limit first amendment more to prevent suicides.

Really though, we should be focusing on the root cause: lonely/sad/broken people. Focus on helping/loving them and I bet suicide/mass shooting rates drop significantly.
The parent comment seems to rely on the all-too-common assumption that the only means by which a software author can be paid is through internet advertising.

With that assumption, the argument against advertising then can be shifted to arguments for or against paying software authors for their work. Of course, this was not the issue that triggered the action or resulting commentary. It was advertising.

It is an evasive shift from one issue to another, a rhetorical trick. There is no debate for or against paying for software. There is a debate against advertising via internet. That debate has existed since the network opened to the public.
This article seems like a good story of bug hunting and resolution.

Males commit suicide more, in general (in western countries). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_differences_in_suicide

Edit - as for why there were more male suicides linked to this show, one reason for male suicides in western countries is the increasing marginalisation of men (whereas in countries with more female suicides or a more equal ratio, women are highly marginalised). If the show glorifies suicide as a way to gain more attention and de-marginalise the individual, it makes sense that more young men would do it.

I think this is super neat!

And I could really see a use case for when bandwidth is a problem for true video calls... next to full video, streaming the avatar info would be next to nothing - so it could turn "video" calls into basically just the audio as far as the internet connection is concerned.

Awesome!
Minor correction; The automated resume reviewer was biased against women according to your reference.
Is there a link to the study?
I don't have much experience with suicide but to add to this, I think attention can go both ways. I once saw a picture of someone who had committed suicide and it was quite distressing. Attention can both lead to glorification or put people off, depending on the way it's done. In most cases it seems to be hidden away and people may not know what actually happens when they do this. One common example now is the jumping off a bridge death into water is still considered a peaceful way to go whereas it's extremely violent and all the organs are ripped out of their positions.
But how many of those students watched the series? Or was it less direct? Maybe the show’s popularity led to a higher number of suicide discussions, insults, references etc?

Something about this is disturbing. Overwhelmed PMs are usually a sign of a larger structural issue regarding executive leadership or directionality. An app helps somewhat increase the volume of things that can be processed in such a rudderless structure is only going to compound the issue. In an organization where PMs aren't overwhelmed, this isn't going to be an issue.

Creating software to solve organizational problems is a dangerously seductive illusion. At worst, it could be used as a surface level token fix to allow leadership to wash their hands of addressing a hard problem.
IIRC males tend to be more successful in their attempts. So the women may have tried more but not successfully enough to tip the scales.
Yeah it's probably not worth it to add types to JS the language, but what if you could ship standard metadata files similar to source-maps that only included type information, which browsers could leverage to speed up compilation?

Potentially OT. Why do people write

>"While suicide rates for females increased after the show’s release, the increase was not statistically significant."

instead of

>"Suicide rates for females did not increase significantly after the show's release."

?

I have seen this quite often and it always seems a bit misleading to me.

Edit: I should have written the 2nd version as "No statistically significant increase in [...] was found". My point is not about the difference between "significance" and "statistical significance" but about mentioning an effect, while also saying the effect is not statistically significant. If it's not statistically significant, why mention it?
Depression is a tough topic. Speaking from experience here, it's healthy to talk about your feelings, etc. But if you look at the communities like # depression on tumblr/reddit etc, I bet it will make healthy people feel a bit depressed.

In kinda a cyclic issue, the problem is that depressed people need to sorrounded them selves with happy people to talk to, consume more positive media,etc.

Otherwise you end up feeding your own depression, producing and consuming more depressive content and comments with others.

To anyone facing depression : Please talk to a therapist, and consider avoiding needlessly negative communities/media. Sorrounding yourself with depressing things won't help.
