I don't feel like I have had much or enough help from therapy or drugs and I've been on both of them on and off for more than 12 years now.

Whenever in therapy it seems that I always try to argue against any advice given. Same online, so I guess any advice given to me I would try to oppose it, but I'm still telling about this and hoping for an answer or solution, because what else can I do. My mind only tries to find flaws in what the therapists say. I either say it out loud and keep saying it until I frustrate therapists or I keep it in my head and think those thoughts silently. I don't know how to just accept the advice. Same with social situations where I just keep silent, so I hate them too and try to avoid as much as possible in life. I either zone out or I try to find something wrong with what they are saying, but obviously not mentioning it. Maybe it's because I'm envious of their knowledge so I have to somehow find errors in them so I wouldn't feel bad about my lack of social performance/knowledge/wittiness. A lot of times maybe I purposely misunderstand rather than give benefit of the doubt in my mind, because possibly I really want them to be wrong. So all in all it occurs to me that not only am I less knowledgable than most people, I also have a terrible personality. Once again why I keep quiet, because showing it out would only sabotage my career, life etc.

And whenever I try to follow advice I have never had it work, I'm not sure if it's due to my own negative attitude regarding the advice, maybe I'm not following it properly or maybe it's just brain chemistry. But in a way where currently available anti-depressants won't affect it positively.

For instance, observing your thoughts from distance or trying to reframe them. Observing from distance - how long do I have to do that to make it work? It still doesn't kill the depression, frustration and anxiety. Reframing the thoughts has never worked since I don't ever believe the reframes and this always leads to existential crisis. If therapists suggests a reframe I will keep arguing it until it reaches "meaning of life" point again.

Another thing is sleep. I hate falling asleep. Even if I do it seems like I wake up too early. I feel like I have tried following all the low hanging fruit advice such as exercising every day, use melatonin, hot baths, whatever common tips I have found. I do running (6+ miles), go to gym every other day. I feel like I don't progress a lot, and I'm afraid because of my shitty sleep. If I take Ambien I will wake up in 4 hours, because that's how long it lasts, so it can't just be some shitty sleep hygiene either if I wake too early after falling asleep. I think I just feel disgusted about sleep and it seems that it affects any progress I'm trying to make as well. Probably affects my gym and running results, my cognitive performance - maybe that's a cop out since I'm not happy with my cognitive performance and blaming it on sleep allows me to believe that maybe I'm not cognitively as poor as I seem to perform currently and that I actually have potential.
I can't speak for COPD but I'm very familiar with a different chronic pulmonary disease (Cystic Fibrosis), and it seems to _strangely_ not be a huge risk factor for poor COVID outcomes.

No one really has a good story for why (and it may not hold) but it seems to be consistent with the idea that the most important variable is truly just age.

Tons. Serialization, for one, And plugin systems are commonplace.

Nonsense and worse words. We know how much disk costs. It is a rounding error for the overwhelming majority of people and the overwhelming majority of apps. Prioritize what matters.
Check out a Hitori. It's kind of an "inverse Sudoku". More difficult puzzles always get to a point where you have to guess the state of a certain field and then backtrack if you were wrong.
I have often found it baffling that tech giants, with near unlimited resources to fund all sorts of things, don't establish these kinds of labs. I'm aware that there are many things called something like "{Google, Facebook, Twitter, ...} Labs" but from what I understand they are significantly different from the corporate research labs of old.

In the near future tracking won't be as easy as throwing a script from Facebook into a blog header. I wonder where it's leading. One guess I had is people will be plugging in web service calls to get the info behind the scenes and generate a first party cookie. Not sure if that capability exists yet but it does sound like your first link so I'll have a read, thanks.

Edit: I had a look through that first link, nice hack, but definitely out of reach of most small businesses. That's kind of how these things go, big players have the resources to jump a hurdle without slowing down, everyone else is left behind.
After you.

I didn’t know about the neck and weight thing. This was almost 10 years ago though. The guys I talked to usually already had heart problems or were at high risk.
> Serialization, for one

Surely this is doable statically. What is the advantage of doing this at runtime rather than at compile time?

> Nonsense and worse words. We know how much disk costs. It is a rounding error for the overwhelming majority of people and the overwhelming majority of apps. Prioritize what matters.

Got a citation? Disk space is the only variable that people even know to complain about... Not sure what you're drawing this from but it stinks to high heaven of corporate propaganda.
I don't think you can separate the educational etc structures from the culture.

Another poster mentioned cowboyism, which I think is apt. The US culture reveres the rugged individual ideal, and the structures allow or encourage it.

All the big US tech companies have an origin story with one or two people, often without traditional credentials, who turned a small idea into a big idea and a huge company. Usually not a lot of group glory, unless it's the five or ten people who left after building a big company and made their own bigger companies (see the traitorous eight that formed Fairchild and went onto form others companies; or the many video game companies starting with A formed by Atari employees such as Activision)

You don't get innovation by doing what everyone else is doing. You get it by doing stuff that seems crazy and turning out right.
I'have just posted something like "request for comments" thing, so we could talk and make a proper solution.
I've tried to use PowerShell in Windows, and it was pure pain: the tools, that are written in PS work fine, everything else (like git, InnoSetup, CMake, everything else...) just didn't have autocompletion at all.
Maybe, some tools, like git do have shell plugins (like posh-git), but the problem in general still persists.
Also, I am using Poetry and Werf utilities, that have built-in generator for autocomplete (bash, zsh and fish), but it doesn't work very well and the developers had to write it by themselves.

So, I've tried to make the spec as generic as possible, so it could support current compicated cases, like git (with its infinite number of commands and options), scp (with its remote file listing), some old Windows commands (like "format" for windows95 and so on).

Also, this format could be used with a single-pass recursive generator, because each usage pattern is just a JSON array and all its properties can be defined in-place. So, it would be okay to use it with languages, like C, that have no JSON serializer built-in.
Yeah. Some folks need to grow another mouth to tell themselves what they wanna hear.

Not being status quo is probably a bit too much for them.

The exchange of opinions concept does work well for most though.

The law in France is that the shop has to accept any bill provided that you pay the exact amount.

There is a limit of 3000€ you can pay cash. Above must be card or cheque (or wire transfer).
I found it most useful to follow what people are already used to, which is to say that it follows the principles laid out by Symfony.

The code for the framework is its own composer library which is pulled in to the vendor directory, the code for the application sits within src/{BundleNamespace}.

If there's a service, it's a service, if there's a controller, it's in Controller, etc.

The aim is to maximise ergonomics and familiarity while minimising surprises. If a developer can pick up your microframework and be instantly writing code then you've done your job right.
Yes, this is already a thing in .NET Core 3: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotne...

It's not clear to me how the .NET 5 feature is different.
Th Erosion of Deep Literacy
IIRC Ivy Bridge is almost same CPU core archtecture as Sandy Bridge so almost no IPC improvement. Efficiency and GPU performance is mainly advertised.
As a .NET fan this is one less thing for me to tempted by Go for.

The other large remaining point is start up time for e.g CLIs and AWS Lambdas. .NET Core has been making great progress there but I think a true native executable will always beat it.
I'm having a hard time here, what exactly are you arguing? Resources are finite and I can't control other people.

Should I increase the strain on an already overburdened system because other peoples future descendants might use those resources otherwise? I presume that I am misreading your point because that seems... ill founded.
“having kids is considered a basic human right...so basic as a species”

uh, the very definition of a species is intimately tied to the ability and choice to successfully reproduce..
Typical Azure response, this is such a summary of azure it’s funny.

Chose some metric where you look good and tout that as the deciding factor.

Ignore the fact that the metric is irrelevant, and hope that your reductive (and incorrect) summary gains momentum among the masses who are too intellectually lazy to think for themselves and just want a number to trumpet on the front lines

Also ignore the fact that your incorrect summary only reveals how much you truly have misunderstood the question and discussion.

You work at azure and your contact email is gmail? Why not a Microsoft product? I’ll tell you why : Microsoft is garbage and you know it, that’s why you use gmail.
Fewer humans is a cop out. We need humans who won't pollute the earth to death. We need borderline Authoritarianism that protects the environment. 90 or so percent of humans just want to survive. If society tells them they need a carbon emitting vehicle to survive, they do that. Humans aren't the problem, our society is.
>giving us REPL to interact with the application during trading session

This to me is what the big appeal of Common Lisp for a trading system could be, particularly if it allowed live recovery from errors (dropping somebody into the debugger, rather than just core-dumping), which could save a lot of money by reducing downtime. But as you say it would require redoing everything to make the code fit latency constraints and be cache friendly, which would be a lot of work.
I had a rather mundane but profound moment in my life about a year ago in which I felt like a non-verbal (cerebellum, amygdala, I dont know) part of my brain communicated with the part of me that I know as ‘me’ and talks to myself in my head. Ever since then I feel as though ‘I’ am just the captain of the ship, and that a good portion of my actions are influenced but not fully controlled by that part of me.

That same part of others might be the part that’s downvoting you. The reflexive, non-verbal, maybe not even particularly cognitive part of us that run the engine room of our human machine. The part that really likes to reproduce.

One exercise that might help draw the distinction I’m talking about is to pick a part of your body, esp a specific hand or foot or even more specific...select fingers or toes. Then do something totally normal like make some coffee or go brush your teeth. While doing this, pay very close attention to the nuances of motion and coordination of that part, and observe how specific those are vs the rather coarse-grained instruction in your head...if there is one at all. For example, the automatic rolling of the toothpaste cap into your ring finger for storage and the way your pinky is cradling the bottom of the tube while your other fingers close in cadence to squeeze the toothpaste in the right direction. I sometimes wonder if this part of us is responsible for some of that silent hand on the Internet.

Anyway, not sure what this has to do with visibility in Nepal, haha
That's definitely a really common issue. And correcting internal links when that happens is always a painful process - the artificially inflated site traffic figures it creates have likely been celebrated and publicized internally, and correcting the analytics (and the subsequent drop in traffic stats) gets treated as if you actually killed real traffic to the site in the process.
Forced stagnation might be able to effectively eliminate human-caused extinction, but you still have to worry about the external extinction events (like changes in solar output, or asteroids, or supernovae).

But without stagnation, yes, you have the human-caused problems to worry about, but you also have people working to solve those problems, as well as people working to solve the external problems.
I'm not sure who you're replying to with the clown/meme thing? Might have the wrong comment.

Regardless, I'm sorry if people calling you a clown (?) offended you- that's not too productive and doesn't help anything. They shouldn't do that.
Now that companies are moving to remote-first and permanent work from home and there are fewer benefits of living in the city due to social distancing, it seems like this is a natural consequence. Companies will likely give a stipend for home offices instead of paying for food or commuting, then people can will want to move somewhere they can get more space for their money. I know people in their 40s living with roommates in SF paying rent that could be a mortgage payment in a suburb not far away.

The problem is the complete lack of goals. (The meaning of life if you like)

Thus far people with this merit did a wonderful job subjugating the rest of humanity to their will. (I'm no doubt guilty for a wild share of this.)

The best part is where I convince you that I did you a favor! The challenge of it is in trying not to laugh.

So yeah, I have merit and you do not. It means you should trade everything you own and your labor for these mirrors and glass beads. You wont know why but you'll thank me later. You will just have to trust me. I mean, don't I look sophisticated with all this stuff I've traded for the beads from other folk? How could you think they all made the wrong choice? Look how many of them are working in my field?

Why do all of the other animals have such fun and interesting lives without any of those intellectuals? If people are poor enough there are no rent collectors. Dogs can still be fooled into employment. Cats are doing the exact opposite! With luck you can convince them not to do things. I conclude cats have more merit than people.

Now go for the down-vote button!
Well, before even writing anything, I've looked up into PS docs, and noticed Register-ArgumentCompleter cmdlet.
It could definitely be used for autocompletion purposes, but we need something like a database of autocomplete definitions for common utilities to get started, and a tool to read such a database.
So, I propose to create a format for autocomplete definitions and invite everyone to discuss it.
We're consuming much more than we used to:

https://ourworldindata.org/meat-production

"The world now produces more than four times the quantity of meat as it did fifty years ago"

"The average person in the world consumed around 43 kilograms of meat in 2014. This ranges from over 100kg in the US and Australia to only 5kg in India."

"Meat consumption increases as the world is getting richer."

When the earth has finite resources, why not reduce the amount of resources used per person before talking about population control? Even with less people, you have to draw a limit somewhere on resource usage.

> Anyway, i think that it is a crying shame that we're still farming animals instead of growing artificial meat. Once we finally have artificial meat and thus stop killing sentient beings, i think that would result in a great leap in our conscience, empathy, etc. - it will unleash a great deal of human mental development with natural results in social and economic development.

Are there any realistic timelines on when lab grown meat will be available and affordable? How about lab grown steaks, whole ducks and whole salmon? At what stage do you think people who won't switch to alternatives now would switch?

In a JSON world post colons are normal :-) and we've been living there for ages. Ruby added x: y as a short form for :x => y
Yeah, but when you're sending files around, you've already sort of lost the UX battle.

The suggestion of a data: URI might be a way to get guarantees similar to that of a static file, but in a URL.
IMO this whole thread suffers badly from differing definitions of 'framework'.

The 'framework' of your app is a collection of patterns and interfaces that allow you to implement your actual features as easily as possible. Whether you get that by importing 2M loc from the same source, piecing together tiny libraries that do one thing well, or write the entire thing from scratch, it's the same result.

I'd agree with you if I was using the definition everyone else is, which seems to only cover the fist case (importing a shitload of code from one place).

Using any pre-made library is a trade-off where you incur some technical debt in return for up-front speed. This is obvious if you look at the extremes (i.e if you have infinite time then I'm 100% sure that using Django isn't the optimal way to build your app, and if you're writing your own framework then by definition you're spending a bunch of time writing code that doesn't directly implement features. Everything else is somewhere in-between).

If you've written a framework that you can just sub in across multiple projects, then it falls victim to the same trade-off you'd have to take with an existing framework. Unless there's something about your framework that's straight up better for the general use case than existing frameworks (in which case well done, but "just build something better than Django/React/Whatever" isn't really advice that's useful for the average dev).

I think it's far more realistic to have familiarity with a set of patterns and small libraries for solving specific problems, and when starting a new project, port over the parts which are relevant to it. I've written tons of this kind of code in my career, and I don't see any point whatsoever in releasing my own open source framework. Instead, whenever I implement something that I think is interesting or might be useful later, I build a minimal gist that implements the concept in-case I need to refer to it later and re-use the code.

I think if I had my own framework that was robust enough to just copy wholesale between projects, and I had to train all of the devs on my team to use it each time, it'd just be the worst of both worlds. I'd much rather either use something that's reasonably standardized, or piece together the right set of tools for the job and educate and familiarise everyone else with it as I go.
With the right flags you can get Hello World down to about 2MB of managed assemblies. You will still have about 16 MB of native:

https://github.com/AustinWise/IlLinkerExample

You basically have to directly fiddle with the flags to the IL linker to really get the size down. It's a pain. They are working on designs to make it better:

https://github.com/dotnet/designs/pull/123

I think these changes can make self contained .NET apps compare more favorably to Go apps, at least for larger applications. It would probably take something more like CoreRT to get app size to be competitive with Rust and C.
Where and when? If I had installed qmail on a 64 bit machine in 2004, how would I have known that it was remotely exploitable?
Most western countries have substantially higher emissions per capita[1] than most of the developing world. Hence, the concern about the effects of Africa/India/others standards of living increasing since it is likely to correspond with an increase in emissions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...
Another point to balance the "how much environmental damage seems to be recovering":

CO2 in the atmosphere has a long inertia. The (reduction of) emissions in the past few months will not have any effect on the global warming for a few decades.

Basically in the short/mid-term, CO2 emissions are accumulated to previous emissions, not replacing them
Working from home makes great economic sense for companies that can remain productive in that environment. It decreases burn due to real estate, and reduces commute times which can help with employee retention (especially for certain geos or demographics, such as parents). Worries about pandemic liability will also be a blocker for reopening many offices.

Covid has forced many companies to run the previously-risky experiment of whether they can thrive while remote, and it's unsurprising that those that can remain productive will use it to evolve + reduce costs.
Yes, it can contain the .NET runtime like a Go executable. You can already (mostly) do this today with .NET Core 3/3.1 (I say "mostly" just because it simply unzips the runtime on first run). I deploy to Linux with everything in a single file and it's been perfect - headache-less deploys. You can read more at https://github.com/dotnet/designs/blob/master/accepted/2020/... and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-pu.... I haven't had any problems with it at all. The size is a bit bigger, but I don't really care about that and then I can just run it like anything else without worrying about making sure that the .NET runtime is on my deploy system and kept up to date.

You can also use the PublishReadyToRun flag to do AOT compilation so that startup times are faster (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/whats-new/dotne...). It still keeps the IL (intermediate language) around for certain things so the file sizes can be a bit larger, but if startup times are a concern, it's an option.
Somehow I never found that. thanks lol
To be fair, rent in SF is basically a mortgage payment in SF, when you compare apples to apples. It's accumulating the down payment and a buffer that's hard.
