I did six infusions at 1.25mg/kg (because I have a high tolerance to.. Everything it seems?) and it lasted a few weeks~a month and a half. I did another batch of sessions 3 months later and the results were the same. I now take it as an intranasal spray at a much lower dose every other day. It makes me mentally exhausted for a few hours afterwards, but at least it provides me some ease on the mental burden I have. I've been in psychotherapy twice a week for nearly ten years, tried literally every drug aside from classic MAOIs and ECT. I've debated TMS/rTMS, but I'm concerned about the memory loss that I've read about and heard first hand accounts of from friends in similar situations.

Obviously everyone is different and YMMV, but for me- ketamine has been the only thing that made a real impact, bonus was the lack of nasty antidepressant side effects (I'm still taking an SSRI, SNRI, and a mood stabilizer and I hate them).

I'm hopeful that some of the new ketamine+___ compounds being created to extend the duration of the 'depression slightly lifted' feeling are successful and come to trial soon.
I think anyone's opinion on what makes something "systems programming" has a lot to do with what it meant when they learned the term. The quotes from Stroustrup and Alexandrescu, for example, very much call out language features.

It would be interesting to put some work into changing that. For example, national popular vote is basically a dead letter because you'd need support from states whose majority party benefits from the status quo (e.g. Texas), which you thereby can't get.

But suppose you throw them a bone and give them something like national popular vote weighted by electoral college delegates. Now you can get them on board because the change doesn't result in electoral math less favorable to their preferred political party, but it still removes swing states like Florida from their privileged position, to the benefit of the people of Texas, California and everywhere else who suddenly need to be paid attention to by both parties again.

Effective Ways to Optimize Your Website for Mobile in 2019
IMO there's a decent probability that's the reason... The treatments cost an arm, a leg, and one kidney.
To be clear, it's the cheap, oral, live virus polio vaccine that's causing the problem.

They don't use that in the US, at all, and we don't have the issue.

We don't need to stop polio vaccination...we need to find a reasonable way to replace the low budget version.
What was Aria Insights and why did they fail?
That's the truly nasty part of this dilemma: we can't stop vaccinating for it. People who haven't been vaccinated are most at risk of being infected due to the polio vaccine, since the vaccine-derived strains spread from person to person just like the wild polio that they almost eliminated and become more dangerous as they do so. In order to keep those infections under control people are being vaccinated on a massive scale, which works in the short term but spreads massive amounts of the vaccine poliovirus which will cause infections further down the line. The injectable polio vaccination might offer a solution since it uses a dead virus that can't cause an actual infection, but there's just not the infrastructure to treat eveyone with it.
You could make that argument about repositories not package managers (which are just software.)

Some do! (Main OS repos (not community ones) do.) But the reality is that this takes man hours, so repositories have been set up without those guarantees in the name of efficiency and expectation of responsibility.

I don’t think these are built because people “want users for their language” but because they were needed. This whole “you shouldn’t do that because it scares users away” thing tends to result in terrible software IMO.
That is not the case, this is at the boundary of software and hardware and real-world concerns dominate. It is quite possible that a library highly optimised to a specific hardware set could have ghastly bugs on hardware it isn't tested on and testing has a cost.

Intel is being reasonable and in a sense prudent by only supporting hardware they understand very well. It isn't like they are sending the lawyers out to sue anyone writing high performance code on AMD chips - that would be unreasonable.
There are over 10 different x86 CPUs, some with very dodgy implementation of basic x86, not mentioning extensions. It could have been just a typical "safe" corporate decision to run optimized code path only on specific Intel CPUs. They use different code paths for different Intel CPUs/generations as well. Now imagine they had to believe that Hygon/SiS/Vortex implement it properly... It's not completely black/white.

Thank you, I like to think so. A lot of how I manage my teams come from my experience as an engineer and seeing all the approaches that demoralised my friends and colleagues.

A lot of it isn't a complex secret, it's really doing what you pointed out - make people feel appreciated, listened to, and actually part of the company as a whole as opposed to just a resource. This can be as simple as being more transparent as to why a feature has been requested, even if it's counter-intuitive to reason, or giving context as to where the roadmap is heading so that they're aware on why they're working on something.
He has a point. If Chinese computer scientists work with the Chinese military and Americans do not, the U.S. military will be disadvantaged. It should be noted that "smart" U.S. weapons may kill fewer civilians than the weapons they replaced, because they are better targeted.

Not just the Pentagon though. Other government agencies that get the shaft from big tech run the risk of outsourcing their needs to other countries. I don’t understand how contracts for other government agencies work or what rules/limits they have. But if a Palantir type company decides to back out of helping DHS for moral reasons, would it be feasible for DHS to turn to a Palantir based out of Eastern Europe or India if such a company existed? I think that’s a bigger risk to outsource tech to foreign nations to manage our nations government agencies.

All the startups I have worked with in the recent years have had a product person. It was a full time job that was mostly focused on the customers and how to deliver value within the constraints given by engineering and business.

Product development should be done on process I think, not on superstar product engineers.

I think the role is new, misunderstood, but I believe throwing bullet points is maybe not the way.

What I’m arguing against mostly is this focus on the person instead of the process and the push that someone can be a master of all those domains of knowledge (as in this article).

I wrote some (mean) thoughts as I was going through the article which I will answer now to the OP post where he answers my question if you are curious to check it out.
If anything, the amount of shadow work foisted on customers has increased. Somehow it's a norm to have to go through a bunch of bullshit to have errors corrected and often just to get halfway decent service. It's obviously worse in industries without meaningful competition, but society in general seems to put up with it and assume that's just the way it is.
Does she necessarily need to or do you want her to? I notice you're not really refuting her actual argument that motivated this post to begin with?

She presented what I thought was a cogent argument, provided examples, and concluded thoughtfully with sourced counterexamples of her own that she believes fits the underrepresented archetypes relevant to the social groups she belongs to and the topics they discuss.

I for one found it interesting enough that I recognized a couple of the names she listed (bell hooks and Robin Máxkii), and the familiarity with those works was a good motivator for me to look into the others, I'm appreciative for the new sources of knowledge provided here.

Perhaps the author here felt the names and sources she provided as alternative-or maybe more fairly-supplemental readings can provide more insight than her words alone?

What else are you supposed to do? Ignoring the deposit isn't really an option. It can cause a number of problems, and the problem will only get worse with time. For one thing, the tax man will notice a large enough deposit and start asking questions. Which means you'll have to prove they aren't your funds, probably with expenses involved. It could also screw up eligibility for means-tested programs. It also means you can't close the account, since you need to withdraw the funds to do so, but withdrawing those funds would leave you exposed to a charge of theft.

There's unavoidable headaches and potential expenses here.
I am not familiar enough with British slang and legal terms. Not sure whether an unintended bank transfer qualifies as a "credit", let alone a "wrongful credit".

Either way, it's still a civil case at the beginning. Have to go to court with the bank to formally request a return and establish the identity of the holder.

By the way I was thinking of another Act that says you have to return stuff sent to you by mistake, can't seem to find it again.
> numbers are easier to standardize than dates

Is this a joke?

JSON numbers are....I don't know what they even are. JavaScript -- the originator of JSON -- can't support 64-bit integers in JSON. Nor can it support decimal fractions in JSON, despite JSON using decimals. And yet JSON numbers also aren'ty IEEE-754 floating point numbers, as they lack +/-Infinity and NaN.

JSON numbers are ill-defined and unique from every other "number" concept in any language or format.
Non-voting shares are as much of an investment in the value of the company as the voting shares are -- you would hope they increase in value, and they may also pay dividends.

When you invest in ETFs or mutual funds you don't normally get voting rights either -- the fund manager does. Despite that, ETFs and mutual funds are the best type of investment for average people who want to save for retirement.

> The french system normally pays based on a 25 year average pay (inflation adjusted)?Using most recent (highest paid) 6 months is not the same or standard.

I’m not sure “normally” is the right word here. The system in France is rather complicated. SNCF workers aren’t the only ones whose pension uses the last six months of income to determine the amount of the pension payment.

Under the current system:

Private sector salaried workers receive one pension where the calculation is based on their highest earning 25 years (adjusted for inflation). The calculation also takes into account the number of years worked in the private salaried worker sector. These workers may, depending on their job, also receive a second pension where the amount received is based on total points earned over all years worked (AGIRC - ARRCO).

Public sector workers receive a pension where the calculation is based on their last six months of earnings, as well as the number of years they worked in the public sector.

Self-employed workers pay into yet a number of different systems. I’m not familiar with all them, but many are based on total points earned over the years of contribution.

Finally, it’s possible for someone who’s worked at different times as a private salaried worker, a public sector worker, and a self-employed worker, to collect pensions from all the different sources.
For the law. Ethically I do not think this is true.
Have you tried or considered hallucinogens? I'm not suggesting that you do, just interested in your perspective considering how severe and long-lasting your depression seems to be.
It is theft — S3 of the Theft Act 1968 covers the meaning of "appropriates" as follows:

"Any assumption by a person of the rights of an owner amounts to an appropriation, and this includes, where he has come by the property (innocently or not) without stealing it, any later assumption of a right to it by keeping or dealing with it as owner."

In this case, the person innocently came by the money as a result of a mistaken bank transfer. They then proceeded to withdraw it from their account and presumably spend it: thus keeping it and/or dealing with it as the owner would—meaning they appropriated it accordingly.

All other elements seem to be made out here too: A person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it; and “thief” and “steal” shall be construed accordingly.
> Conversely, when such feedback and communication is overlooked or ignored, over and over, engineers often stop giving it even when they are interested.

This is true but I find if I can explain why the feedback was overlooked, that can help diminish the negative feeling. It hasn't happened often in my experience but sometimes when it has, if the idea is feasible and won't detract too much from the critical path, I would push the business team a bit harder to allow it so as to avoid the constant ignoring feeling that can happen.

If one ignores the orthodox propagandizing from economists. You end up with the unremarkable idea that the value of ordinary property is based mostly on the amount of public goods and services tied to it. Which are paid for and maintained by the state. Stands to reason that state should then impose a property tax to pay for all that.

The connection between sales taxes and public goods and services is a lot more tenuous.
I've toyed with the idea of putting up a personal ToS detailing a $50/hr charge for time spent on hold, and then sending invoices to companies which treat me to crappy customer service antipatterns...
Agreed. Most organizations I've been involved in will reward engineers for creating 20k lines of code that don't solve a relevant problem over the Product Engineer who creates 5k lines that solves valuable problems. The Product Engineer Genba'd out of the building to see what was needed and created the right thing, but since engineering management is often myopically focused on metrics disconnected from value the Product Engineer is significantly undervalued.

Combining ability with domain knowledge is extremely valuable, and a significant portion of domain knowledge is gained by stepping away from the keyboard.

Lean borrows the Japanese word Genba to describe this, which means 'actual place' or 'scene of the crime' and this Product Minded Engineer is somebody who is willing to Genba!

I think you're interpreting it differently than the author intended. It's not advice, it's a joke denigrating Google products.

They're comparing Google's services to addictive drugs. In this analogy Larry Wall is the dealer who doesn't use the product, YouTube is the drug, and YouTube users are the addicts.
This actually doesn't accomplish the thing you're hoping it would!

Here in Texas, there is a sales tax of 6.25% when you sell a car. They found that people were doing stuff like saying they sold their car to their neighbor for $100 so that the neighbor would have to pay 6.25% of $100 instead of 6.25% of $2500. And maybe the neighbor agrees to some untraceable off-the-record compensation like painting your house for you. There's an incentive to create this kind of deal because neither party loses money to taxes, benefiting both.

So realizing they were losing out on revenue, the state changed the law and created something called Standard Presumptive Value. Some method exists to look at comparable cars to estimate the value of a car (based on model, mileage, etc.). Now you pay 6.25% on the actual sale price or the SPV, whichever is higher.

Sometimes the car is in worse than average condition (not running, wrecked, etc.), and the SPV is too high, and yes, there's a procedure for that involving a professional appraisal.

It could be fraud by false representation (i.e. falsely representing to the bank that it was a legitimate and intended transfer the account holder was expecting to receive) per S2 of the Fraud Act 2006, but it's typically easier to prove theft under S1 of the Theft Act 1968 since that doesn't require any false statement to be made.
This is why without a technological background or acumen, you’ll never be able to find the investments that succeed based on innovation.

Because there’s no financials to analyze, the companies that succeed this way basically go from making nothing / losing money for many years before all of a sudden becoming exponentially profitable. The signal doesn’t exist on the financial side, which is why so many people in Wall Street often fail so badly when valuing hard technology companies.

It’s why a company like Waymo will in 10 years be valued more than the entirety of Google, yet many in finance won’t even have an inkling of this in the present day.

Also, by the way, this is why I believe the venture capital industry in Silicon Valley was able to uniquely succeed in the beginning due to a heavy concentration in extremely technical investors compared to the rest of the United States and the world in general (i.e. the VC capital of the world is in Silicon Valley and not New York for a reason).
