Matt, I feel for you, I absolutely do, but the painful truth is that your move home will cost you your energy.

If not the dependence of your parents on your, then the negativity will. The drain of the area you are going to will also pull it from you.

You will not do anything without energy.

You want to do know how to avoid this and the painful, guilt-ridden answer is: You don't go back home, you move forward with your life.

You have to do it with a clear mind and a firm commitment. If you cannot move forward without feeling pangs of guilt pulling you backwards, then you aren't ready. If you can make a firm, confident decision that you:

1. Love your parents.

2. Realize you cannot change them or improve their lives FOR them.

3. Want a better life for yourself.

There is no more to discuss or mull over. It is time to hug and kiss them, pack up your bags and move to a city that will spark that fire inside you again and fill you full of hope and joy.

Your parents love you. They are probably adamant for you to NOT come home because they know, deep down, what it will cost you.

I think you know all this already, you sound smart and in-touch with your feelings. You were probably hoping for some alternative information where we suggested ways for you to help them and feel like a great son and get back on your feet and get married and have a family and not have to move back to the middle of no where and and and....

All of that takes energy and you aren't an endless well of it. You MUST pick what you direct it at and it can't be everything.

If it makes it any easier, you being home, feeding into the negative-loop-cycle your parents are in right now and becoming more depressed helps NO ONE. It doesn't help them and it doesn't help you.

You aren't a bad son for wanting happiness in your life and that happiness NOT being from taking care of your parents.

Hug and kiss them. Call them often. Send them cards. Help organize a stop-in assistant twice a week. But do all that from a location that fills your life full of possibility and happiness.

Don't bury yourself in guilt, that is a trap. Move forward. There are great things waiting for you.

EDIT: I just read a lot of fantastic feedback here, some of it the exact opposite of what I wrote, so take everything I said with a grain of salt and go with whatever feels the best to you. Whatever explanation made you feel lighter, free-er and happier when you read it and just "made sense", that is probably the one you should go with.

I am tempted to erase my comment as I feel you have so much good advice here I don't want to just add conflicting noise. Either way I'm rooting for you man, just stay in one piece and keep your head up!

There are still many approaches to teaching mathematics, of varying and debating quality, so many of these concerns still apply. Math teaching is not a commodity we can simply stockpile using contributions from whoever tosses a bit in the kitty.
1. You're right, it's confusing when coming from a Subversion background.
2. It makes sense when you realize that 'switching to a different branch' and 'reverting a file' are both operations that make your working copy (partly) match a branch, be it a different branch or just your current HEAD.
Git is full of stuff like that. Once you get the fundamentals down it all starts to make sense.

I'm an armchair mathematician currently but I have high aspirations for my math career so it's not really important but if you have free time for definite references it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the references so far. I'll look into Cybernetics. I already know of Coq but haven't looked that close, I'll make a note to investigate.
I did notice a specific change in the complexity of my usage of tenses. My ability to reason didn't seem to change much, but I am a mathematician.
The whole point of a Summary video of history, and what is tested in class for most students, is the what and when - not the who and why.

Also, from reading the original scare-mongering article based on a single video viewed by the author, i didn't get the feeling that he was complaining about the lack of 'who and why' but rather libruls like Khan and Gates are taking over the world and throws in a irrelevant point about personalization engines in google and facebook.

Hey, thanks for all your comments.

A few of you said university might be a good route, and I do not disagree - But I'd much rather see how far I get without it, and leave that almost as a last resort.

And I will stick it out! I agree with what all of you have said about finishing a project is still finishing a project, even if it's not something I feel particularly passionate about.

Thanks for the help, everyone :)

I like to think of Mr Khan efforts as something similar to those of the mentor in Sophie's World. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophies_World
He can teach the audience on how to think about subjects, but I doubt he can be deep on all of them. This is very helpful but is not scalable. I wonder how this effort will become mature if it continues to get funded and promoted.

I just want to point out that this guy is also the author of The Gervais Principle[1], a 4-part saga that offers an incisive, brilliant and depressingly accurate analysis of the human psyche as it applies to workers in a corporation. It's probably the most awesome thing I've ever read in blog format, and I'm looking forward to reading this essay.

It looks like the site is supported by donations, which I just did.

I think the breadth first approach is very important, it allows you to see the overall structure and focus your attention on what your interested in. Much like a levels of detail on a map - first you need to know the big geography - where are the oceans/land, or in our case what are the most important events/people/locations/traditions, and then we can zoom until eventually we can see the details.

I think it concentrated more on the aspects of how pleasant each is to use. The analysis was light on the technical side because ladyada targets more hobbyists (like myself :D ) and prototype creation rather than people that want to create a product that will be manufactured, reproduced and distributed on a large scale.

Though I haven't used PIC personally though, I have used AVR before, and found it quite pleasant and flexible, though in all fairness I can't compare it to PIC. I will say though that there seems to be more resources and documentation on PIC than AVR (I bough a really good book on embedded devices that was based on PIC, and though the examples were helpful universally, they were targeting the PIC crowd specifically.)
The carriers are bigger, true, but the missiles are more powerful as well. A single cruise missile carries the effective payload of 3 or 4 kamikaze aircraft.

There's also the fact that you don't have to kill the carrier to render it ineffective. A single missile hit to something like landing deck or the aircraft hangar can result in damage that takes months or years to repair, effectively removing the carrier from the battlefield.
The app and this writeup of it are both awesome.

A friend pointed me at Turntable today and I hung out there all afternoon at work -- it's a great replacement for Pandora for coding music. The human factor keeps it unpredictable and you can jump between rooms to get a different genre or mood when you feel like it.

While I agree mostly, your comment also ignores advances in weaponry. So, sure, they are tough - but the yeild of bombs now as well as the threat of small scale nukes against the ships, even if meant to capsize, is quite different than the equivalant of hurling a ford expidition at them.

Carriers are amazing amazing ships - I eould love a game solely focused on a war where an ultra vast ocean world made it such that all wars were carrier based and had vast submarine based support fleets.

It would be great to have physics sims that allowed us armchair admirals to test carrier strengths against such traps as nuke icbm and cruise missles.

I've programmed both, though, not a PIC for many years now... PICs are just weird.

The AVR is a pretty typical Harvard RISC: 32 registers, memory load/store, direct/indirect jumps, stack pointer pointing at ram, etc. It's still 8/16 bit, so some pairs of 8 bit registers work like 16 bit registers.

The PIC has one accumulator register; ram is a set of (manually selected) register banks. Instructions operate on the accumulator and an operand in the selected bank. The stack is totally separate from other RAM, so it's fixed size (8 maybe?) and can only be used with call/return.

I don't want to be judgmental; there's certainly some strange virtues to PIC, like the lack of any real state to save/restore on ISR entry/exit; but they really just don't fit my mental concept of a CPU.

Exercise for the reader: Given the stack and register bank selection, which one of these has better C compilers?

(Still, if you're learning something new, gamble is right: ARM is the future.)
Wikindu.com - The Startup Daily
> How is Saving Private Ryan different from the US schools interpretation of 2nd World War?

Simple. It throws out a lot of the context and details of how we got to the meat grinder in the first place. It's traded for eye candy and emotion. All an individual with little background in the subject would know is that - these are the good guys over here and the bad guys over there.

> I knew of 2nd world war before I had history,

That's no surprise. Almost every kid enjoys anything with guns and bullets.

Having superficial knowledge of something is very different from getting a decent understanding of it. It's like knowing that Martin Luther was some guy who nailed a piece of paper to a door because he was angry with Catholicism, without understanding the details and background to how he got to the point and its future implications on the world.
Dude, it's renting.

Capitalism is held together because of this notion called private ownership of property. The notion of private property is very important and there is no gray area - you either own something and it's your property, or you don't.

Except for copyright (which should really be reinvented because it's no longer relevant in its current form), you own copies of dead-tree books, with which you can do anything you want, including reading it 30 years later, lending it to others, sell it for huge sums of money (if you can find a buyer) or set it on fire in protest :)

And I'm all for content authors to be properly rewarded, but using "buy" as if you're going to own that book is more deceiving than ever, and people have a right to know what they are getting into.
Completely agree, ARM is where it's at.

Recipe for an open source, GCC-based ARM toolchain:

-GCC

-Newlib (an implementation of the C standard library aimed at embedded systems)

-Binutils

-GDB (optional; great if you pick up a jtag debugger and openOCD)

I pushed out a cross-compiler via this recipe that survived an entire semester of usage in labs along with an ARM Cortex-M3 board.

No limitations on RAM usage, full optimizations available. As far as I've seen, GCC does a nice job using the ARM thumb2 instruction set when you enable optimizations.

I felt compelled to put together my own linker script; one of the more painful parts. I'm not sure if the default linker script will work or not.

I've been meaning to put this toolchain recipe online somewhere, along with a tool I put together for flashing the GCC-produced executables to the Cortex-M3 via USB DFU.
Ask HN: Better to market yourself by technology, industry or system type?
Hi guys,

In starting a small software consultancy and figuring out how to market and present ourselves to the world...

Does anyone have any experience as to whether it is best to market yourself based on:

- the technology you have experience with e.g. .NET

- the industries you have experience and knowledge of e.g. Finance, Insurance etc

- or the type of systems you have experience building e.g. trading systems, ERP, CRM etc

Which is the more effective way to sell yourself as a developer?

No it's not. A few senators are pressing the issue. The founder of BC is scheduled to give talks at the CIA, if they were going to bust him, they would have been more upfront then about the issue.

Like all organisations they stand and fall by the actions of individuals. If ONE Apple reviewer rejects an app the headlines will not read "One Apple reviewer rejects an app" and nobody will clamour for them to. Why is this different?
This reasoning seems neither well thought out nor well written. I'm not even sure where to begin. First, if you know two variables go in to a score and you know one variable, you can make a pretty good guess of the second variable based on the result. Second, a page with only one comment (or just a few) is probably not important enough to serve as a data point.
Talented people tend to get misjudged a lot. Lots of scientists have big egos, but that can go a few was. A big ego can make you humble and accepting of others (if you reserve your harshest criticism for yourself) or a real prick.

Some people want to be liked, some people want to be respected, and some people just want to be left alone.
That's it, I'm filing a patent for the patent process. Since clearly no one in the patent office has any idea what they are doing, I feel confident I will be granted this patent.
One drawback to the various forms of invisible bans is that they aren't visible to the rest of the community. The HN "showdead" feature allows the banned comments to be seen, but relatively few people (I assume) use that feature.

One good way for community members to learn what is or isn't acceptable is by example.

Approaches like disemvoweling (and like HN's graying of down-voted comments) have the advantage that the offending post is still available as an example to other members of the community, quite clearly saying "don't be like this".

Another distinction is that disemvoweling is an action taken against comments, not users. Ideally, a user's first offensive post is disemvoweled, but they're allowed to come back and make a second attempt at civil conversation.

Of course, you still need a way to deal with the persistent offenders who refuse to learn from their experiences. For them, banning of whatever flavor seems perfectly reasonable to me.

On http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/, where I've seen the most use of disemvoweling (and several discussions of it and other techniques for defending community and rational conversation), disemvoweling of a comment is often followed by a moderator's brief explanation to fellow community members what about the comment was objectionable. There's also often an invitation to the commenter to try alternative approaches to the discussion, or to join in other conversations on the site that might be easier to discuss politely.
