In my twenties I had recurring dreams about being in a field of golden wheat during the summer, with a guilty feeling I hurt someone.

They really were weird. Maybe testosterone? Maybe Freudian? Maybe it was due to a stint job I had at the Coroner’s Office in high school? Maybe nothing?

Those dreams ended in my thirties, after a breakdown in grad school.

I pop a gasket (just really bad anxiety), and all those dreams subsided? Crazy?

Life became the nightmare after the breakdown though.
> Now perhaps some ORM's prefer to be thinner, to provide more footguns via a leaky abstraction that mixes implementation details with the object mapping. I don't think those are good implementaations.

To me, it seems like the (hypothetical?) implementation you're talking about is much more leaky and footgun-y than the more straightforward ("thinner", in your words) version. In order for foo.user.id to not execute a new query, foo.user would have to return some sort of proxy object that only fetched the user row when you tried to access a field that hasn't been loaded. That's way more magic than the more obvious solution—which is to load the row when you access the related object—and could easily cause more problems than it solves in the long run when you need to debug very specific queries.

Furthermore, how is going out of your way to hide a field that exists in the database (user_id) not the definition of a leaky abstraction? What purpose does it serve to direct you through an unnecessary layer if all you need is the ID?
This seems like a ridiculously uncharitable explanation to the point of bad faith. A better interpretation that is also accurate would be that the people in power are people with money and influence.
I had to look this up: Android is based on the Linux kernel.
It makes sense to commoditize their complement.
Do they live and die by the success of the company. If the business starts to decline who is terminated first. The founders and executives. The audience for the letter from this quote is taken is not only founders and executives, it is Amazon employees, investors, potential investors and analysts, i.e., the public.
These platforms are too big. A company should be able to ban its users or disable accounts, but that should be an inconvenience and not censorship. Trump lied and promoted insurrection but we can imagine futures where the good guys are the ones being shut off.

I don’t know the solution. Trump could post his 280 characters on whitehouse.gov to his heart’s content. But in comparison to Twitter with millions of followers it’s like talking to an empty room. You’d expect that those millions of followers would still be interested in his 280 characters if they’re not on Twitter, but there’s no frictionless broadcasting. Unlike RSS, every voice is plugged into a monolithic service that can rank and silence stories as it sees fit.
But I'm curious, how many Intel, AMD, Nvidia, or Apple chips?

We have new insight now into how antidepressants interface with specific signaling molecules, making them more effectively permeate the neuron cell membrane.

It's still about chemical balance. It's a highly complex system involving more than serotonin, though.

He mentions serotonin reuptake inhibitors once, but it looks like this finding applies to other substances identified as anti-depressants that aren't necessarily serotonin targeting.
Isn’t “a Catholic lay priest” how you’d best describe the person, in colloquial terms, to a readership that wasn’t familiar with the definition of catechist?
I recently hit this up in Canada with a matched group RRSP which has a heavily restricted panel of options for investment and while contributions are matched and the transfer fees aren't too steep they are there and intended to capture clients within their spread of options.

I would prefer if group retirement plans had more flexibility on in/out flow and had to legitimately compete with the open market.
> for Facebook being a good platform

That's not what OP claimed. OP claimed:

> FB is far and above every other attention based ad platform (in effectiveness, transparency, scale, etc.)

So OP didn't say FB was good in absolute terms, but that it's better than anything else. That's quite different, especially in the context of HN, where we talk a lot about FB, but not so much about other ad platforms.
Sorry, somehow I copied the wrong link. Fixed!
Schizophrenia is impossible to treat. You deal with the symptoms with drugs or a support group.

As I said there's no solid evidence that psychedelics bring anything early or make you develop something that you wouldn't have. It could be argued that they make it easy to manifest a tendency to go into certain mental states that a "typical" person would not go into, but it would be hard to find a case of someone that went schizo on psychedelics by only a few uses and really didn't come back.

Of course if you develop an addiction, or abuse them and repeatedly mix and binge them with other drugs in crazy intense environments after those first experiences, they are going to break you. But that downside risk is not exclusive for psychedelic drugs and does not warrant spending inordinate amounts of resources and wasted opportunities by keeping them totally illegal or tightly controlled.

In any case, the reason to make some of this drugs illegal is that they allegedly pose no medicinal use at all and that recreational use is terribly dangerous for society. The first one is totally false, there's even ongoing promising medical research with psychedelics even though they are illegal! The second one is close to what you are arguing about, and honestly the reasons why this may pose a danger to society is more because society sucks and not because the drugs suck. What we should make illegal is abandoning people because they have a mental disease, not drugs.
>They literally started this.

What is it you think "they" started? You're really all over the place with these replies. I don't think anyone here would disagree that it's absurd for Texas politicians to blame issues on GND, but had they not done that, it's not as if Texans would be any better off. I can tell you're not a fan of Cruz, but I think the point myself and the GP are trying to make is that there are lots of situations in American politics which boil down well to Red vs. Blue. Personally I don't think this is one of them.
I’ve always understood the chemical imbalance description of depression (and other mental health conditions) to be a casual way of describing the conditions as being part of the person rather than a choice — and not a way to describe the internal mechanics of the conditions. I’ve found it effective when having conversations about mental health conditions: how would you describe depression without using that phrase, based on what this paper reveals?
The two main reasons I’ve always heard against QT in particular are

1. Non C++ devs don’t want to write C++/participate in the C++ ecosystem at all. While there are plenty of QT binding libraries for other languages, they seem to be of varying and unpredictable quality.

2. QT has potentially difficult licensing: https://www.qt.io/licensing/

Disclaimer: I’ve never used QT.
It's explained a bit in the previous blog post [1]. I expect that comment you are referencing from a Wine developer was just dismissive without giving any thought to possible non-obvious solutions. Now someone has implemented an alternative solution.

I am not a neuro anything, but has that been the a big debate in the antidepressant discussion long? The low level of serotonin? Is that a fallacy or an i missing something?
wow, super constructive comment. You seem very proud of yourself
The whole article was basically the author figuring out how to get a full path error message instead of only getting the first or last component of the error path. Also, how to do it without also crashing the program entirely. Plus of course getting some context about the state of the program when it crashed, and without imposing the full stack trace overhead since this error was supposed to be available even on production builds.

I’m firmly of the belief that Bitcoin (and it’s ilk) should be illegal. There’s many reasons for it - Sometimes because it’s an unregistered security, sometimes because it falls afoul of laws against paying people in scrip, sometimes because it’s outright fraud.

There’s real uses for Merkel trees in finance - Cryptographically secure history is valuable. I’ve yet to see any problems that blockchains solve that merkel trees do not[1]. Finance and interchange works just fine with just Git - Interchange done via simple published balancesheets with countersignatures by both parties, then merged into “head” on the regular by any form of rollup. It doesn’t have the (well overstated) pseudonymity advantages of bitcoin, and that’s a feature in a well regulated financial market.

[1] With one ridiculous exception: In Iain Bank’s “Excession”, a mothballed war-fleet is resurrected by a traitor who presents enough cryptographic signatures of coconspirators to burn the keys of the real C+C chain. Blockchain would make this much harder - But not necessarily enough harder, even if they had to effectively recreate the military history of an entire total-peace (through superior firepower) civilization.

Because the Republican party decided that because Trump was no longer president at the time of his 2nd impeachment trial he couldn't TECHNICALLY be convicted:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fact-check-yes-mccon...

Which, if you paid attention to the trial was extremely well reported, so either you genuinely didn't pay attention at all or you're trying to imply anyone in Congress seriously believed he wasn't culpable.

So to answer your question simply, he wasn't convicted because it wasn't politically expedient to the rest of his political party.
Isn't Chinese surveillance and censorship completely out in the open? Why would there need to be an Edward Snowden? There is already gobs of evidence of total surveillance, so why would someone risk their skin to expose what is already known and established fact?

I too feel that rehabilitation, not vengeance, should be the goal of the justice system but in this case, I think it's a moot point. This is an individual with the means and clear history of organizing and wielding violent armed groups which (I hypothesize) requires a level of emotional intelligence that justice systems are not equipped to rehabilitate by design. The ones that try to rehabilitate offenders naturally err towards giving people the benefit of the doubt in order to make the process fairer for the falsely accused which is very easily exploitable, especially for the well resourced.

I think this individual presents a clear cut case where public safety is more important than the individual's right to rehabilitation post-conviction, in a way that even the worst civilian criminals like serial killers do not. There is just no way to reintegrate him to like a POW of an opposing nation in war or a rebel soldier who joined a movement - he was a primary instigator in the conflict and his enemy was the system he'd be rehabilitated into.
Because productive farms require lots of expensive maintenance/equipment. A vertical farm lets you optimize for that use case since its the only use of the infrastructure and you can align everything towards maximum use of those scarce resources.

Random roofs don't optimize for that usage pattern, and so you need to use them in an application where the primary cost is the install cost rather than an upkeep cost. Solar panels are a perfect fit. Farms are a terrible fit.
Arguably it's life experiences and environmental stimuli that actually play a role in depression et al - it's just these neurotransmitters you speak of are the communicators. E.g. Self-protective mechanism from trauma (physical and/or emotional) to "close ones heart" or develop defensive behaviours - and then being locked into that state, indoctrinated into it - without the ability to disconnect from that pattern until say dramatically changing the chemical supply of transmitters - say either MDMA flooding the brain with serotonin, more than the brain naturally can at once, or say through ketamine or Ayahuasca or other psychedelics that give the opportunity for a perception change outside of the indoctrinated state(s) and behaviours.

I imagine the vast majority of people who's circumstances aren't due to a chemical issue, more so the lack of adequate support for them and/or any element of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs not being met during rapid and crucial childhood development.
Oh this is very interesting to me. Currently working on adding proper cubic bézier primitives to a geometry engine I'm working on, and curve offsetting is an operation I haven't implemented yet. Skimmed the essay, and will have to sit down and read it properly next week.
Has Amazon Ruined the Name Alexa?
I am not a biologist by any stretch, but I will try.

A common mechanism of action may have been found across antidepressants where none was found before. This common mechanism between both Prozac and Ketamine has some impacts on how cholesterol is used in the brain and BDNF (neuron survival and growth regulator).
This statement imply that you cant run a Windows without a GUI which is false.
Windows can run fine with 256MB RAM with no display support.
Just to give a different perspective, it is unlikely they will do anything. You may talk to a lawyer but I would not stress too much about it.
How antidepressants work (this article) and what causes depression (your postulate) are two completely different things.
For VM management I agree with you. For other things cockpit is mostly fine.
> programming for distributed environments as if you had one giant single-thread computer, and function calls could arbitrarily happen over IO or not

Ex-Amazon SDE here. Message-passing libs like 0mq tried to push this idea.

They never became very popular internally because passing data between green threads vs OS threads vs processes vs hosts vs datacenters is never the same thing.

Latencies, bandwidths and probability of loss are incredibly different. Also the variance of such dimensions. (Not to mention security and legal requirements)

Furthermore, you cannot have LARGE applications autonomously move across networks without risks of cascading failures due to bottlenecks taking down whole datacenters.

Often you want to control how your application behaves on a network. This is also a reason why OTP (in Erlang or implemented in other languages) is not popular internally.

I think the short summary is we are coming to understand circumstances where an individual has lost their agency. In which cases the nature of justice changes.

if we can't understand how someone could have done that thing...

If we are not aware of a reason they did not posses agency, then we must assume they still had it.
You can subpoena a third party, but the third party can oppose it.

Assuming that the challenge to the subpoena is rejected, courts will generally require the litigant to reimburse the third party for costs incurred in responding to the subpoena. While federal courts technically require the responding party to shoulder the costs, as a practical matter only governmental third parties are still required to respond to subpoenas out of pocket.

In this case, Apple sought tons of confidential trade secret information (basically, sales, revenue, and traffic data for every product ever sold on the Steam store for the past 6 years, plus advertising and other revenue related to Steam, plus other side channel revenue), and is it likely that most of the subpoena will be quashed, considering that Valve did respond to the reasonable portion of Apple's subpoena.
Is this really such a problem? I guess this is my first time hearing of it, but I believe OSM allows you to mark areas where public wifi (or private wifi, in the case of businesses that provide wifi to customers), is available. Wifi access is not a tangible, physical thing (even though of course the physical layer is), but OSM provides a framework to map it because it's tied to a location, and the information might be useful to some people.
I always think about that thing John carmack said that when working on quake he could rewrite the whole thing from memory. My memory is terrible. I think to be really good takes an excellent memory. :(
He also explicitly told everyone to "fight like hell". I mean, if he's using double speak I can't help that but one part of what he said triggered a percentage of the people to try to find and kill US Congress people, steal computer equipment and other office supplies, and kill police officers.

You're asking everyone who watched the capitol riots to ignore what they saw with their own eyes.
Tech Tuesdays: Bob Ross and Data Science – A Statistical Analysis
These limits are because the ones you're thinking of are research projects, not in fact betting markets (even though as an individual you can treat them as betting markets just fine). This makes them accessible (legally) to US residents.

Betfair is a British gambling firm, and isn't a research project, when Betfair's "Did Donald Trump win the US presidential election?" and "Did Joe Biden win the US presidential election?" closed it had hundreds of millions of pounds of bets across those two questions.

I got paid, as in I put cash in and a couple of weeks later more cash was paid out to my bank account when BetFair closed it, for knowing that Donald Trump did not win that election in December.

It was even possible (though of course risky) to buy the lows and sell the highs as MAGA rallied when they thought the Kraken had been released, or when Rudy was going to prove everyone wrong, or whatever other nonsense.

I was actually underwater for more than 50% of the two weeks between placing my "bet" and the cash returned, because MAGA were bidding up the "Donald Trump won" position even as it became increasingly obvious that they'd lose everything.

Having lived in Chicago and SF, one big difference is how the problem areas are distributed geographically. In Chicago, the high foot-traffic areas (eg the Loop, Logan Square, Wicker Park) where tourists are likely to end up are very nice; you only end up in problem territory if you go wandering off into the Westside or Southside. In SF, the problem areas are the high foot-traffic areas where tourists are generally going: Union Square, anywhere touching Market, etc.

In the past, I probably would have still felt safer walking around eg the Tenderloin than some areas of Chicago's South/Westside. But beginning a few months after the pandemic began, the streets in SOMA/FiDi/Union Square emptied out (no more tourists or commuters) and SF has started to feel much, much less safe in those areas. In the last few months, my partner has been attacked on the street twice, and I narrowly avoided being mugged with a screwdriver in Union Square itself. That is much worse than anything I ever experienced in the Southside of Chicago.

Phel is a compiler, because its output is code. PHP is an interpreter, because its "output" is the effects of executing code.

(edit: to the GP's point, PHP does contain a compiler within it, because it translates source to bytecode as part of execution, but that's an implementation detail. As a product it is strictly an interpreter)

The majority of retail is dog-fooding AWS, but a lot of code was written before AWS existed or before it provided many of the required services.
At D-Wave, our cloud-accessible QPUs are entirely available to one user at a time, in the form of "problems" that are submitted to a "solver" stack to load onto the QPU and sample in order to get an answer. This ends up being much like having a single-threaded CPU and a traditional OS handling multitasking; we have a scheduler higher up the stack responsible for determining which user problem to run next. The result is realtime performance for users while ensuring that the QPU sits idle as little as possible.

For the most part, there aren't enough qubits yet even on our 5000+ qubit machines that anyone would want to share the QPU with someone else during an execution cycle. In fact, this is the reason why we have a Hybrid Solver that combines classical and quantum technologies - people want to work on much, much bigger problems than fit onto the working graph of the QPU.
