>One is to simply allow it to happen or even try to make the panic worse. Paradoxically, that has been shown to ease the panic attack.

Nope. Not working for me. Though, I might have stronger fight-or-flight reaction than other people.
For example, I can't watch beheadings(but I could do them by myself and I am very sure about that). If I force myself to continue watching, then my mind just shuts my brain off and I lose consciousness.

Similarly I can't watch needle, when nurse is injecting it into my vein. When I am not watching and have my attention fixed on something else - I feel perfectly fine, and even can make myself not to notice anything. So, MBSR and ACT is completely shite to me and I would be really pissed off if someone would have suggested that I should try them.

I think, that johnsmith4739, who mentioned techniques has a point, that this article is basically a crap and has no medical value whatsoever. I think, I start to realize, what op is meaning by ego-depletion technique, as this is exactly what makes me anxious, when everything becomes unreal and where I lose control - that is the thing that makes me most anxious. So, somehow NOTHING that you have written is making sense to me in dealing with my anxiety. Do you actually have some medical background, or have read too much and are here to prove your "expertise" based on what you have read? Which is wrong place to do.

EDIT:
I had not received any help from doctors on my anxiety issues - most of the issues I was complaining about are now gone and I do not need help in dealing with my other anxiety issues - because "fixing" them(with medications?) will rob me of other things, that I enjoy and where anxiety is just part of how my brain works.
I have noticed, that I get really anxious if I am not in control. If I am in control - I feel perfectly fine - in fact I feel more than perfectly fine in such circumstances, where I am in control of everything that affects me and understanding about this relation has come after trying to deal and failing with all the offered techniques. So, I've wasted my time on experiments and failed, so it is time for me to draw the line, cut losses and decide on what is working and I am irritated on touching anything again, that I've tried and that had no effect on me.
I like the cut of your jib, friend.

A lot of things you're espousing, I'd like to see.
The system does everything it can to preserve itself and its power.

I've tried looking into technology that could make a difference, but I didn't get much input from HN. I think the big thing is education. Educating people about their rights, about how the system is supposed to work, about how it actually works (or doesn't), and what resources are available would be a huge step in the right direction. Most of the issues in the system remain unaddressed because people are ignorant. The laws in my state allow for a person to be thrown in jail for up to 90 days and fined $100-500 for their dog escaping their yard. Do you really think the public agrees that throwing someone in jail for a loose dog is just? This law exists because the people don't know about it. There are many activist organizations working on reform, but most people don't know about them (many are state specific).
Or for water contaminated with radioactive materials, for instance, it's routine at La Hague.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Hague_site

Of course the particulars matter quite a lot, I'm have no idea whether the planned release at Fukushima is comparable to the releases at La Hague.
I wouldn't ingest it but do carry around a tritium keyring every day. It's been glowing non-stop for years now and probably has another decade or two left in it.
> How long before people are trading options on risk weighted batch of people?

Lol I actually love this idea. Funding an ETF of people who want to move to SF to start a career in tech, or LA to start a career in acting. Diversify your risk and support some people with potential. Could have an acting school equivilant of ycombinator and you can invest in all each batch and get a return if some succeed.

If we want a metiocracy this could help build it, by giving more capital to those who have potential but are disenfranchised by existing institutions.
The problem with Miami's flooding isn't that the sea is washing over it, it's coming from underneath it due to the porous limestone. Short of raising all the buildings and roads, how do you solve that?
"unlike in tech, where skill alone will usually get you in a decent position"

I guess I have no skill.
It kind of makes you feel ridiculous about the amount of work that we put into securing even systems that are in no way critical and then the world runs on unsecured mailboxes, homes which can be broken into by someone willing to kick hard enough, Social Security cards with no security features whatsoever, funds transfer that only requires your account and routing number to withdraw, and so on.
This fear response is making it worth more. Suppose the pandemic never ends? The engineering only gets easier from here.
this is borderline anti semitic.
Absolutely, I'm almost certain it could be as efficient as a train as most of the security is pointless theater. When I was flying more often I would leave much less time and usually not miss my flight. Sure, something could go wrong and I would miss it but the hours saved not sitting at the airport outweighed a potential occasional missed flight and the extra time that would take to re-book and come back.
The benchmarks showing negligible performance differences also gave it away.
Amtrak mostly runs 1950s train service or worse. Don't use them as an example of anything.
It might be even more efficient to take on a few whales and devote enough energy to hit everyone as hard as possible, jail terms etc.

That might discourage the others a bit more.
Sure, that is one sort of expression. And very typical “it’s you, not me” attitude on both sides.

Another is that locals would love to know that they can afford a mortgage payment in their own hometown sometime in their adult life.
They do this with some laws. For example, the 1994 assault weapon ban had a 10 year sunset provision.
Such a separation makes sense to me (a non game dev) but the assets need version control too, though, so that doesn't really solve the problem.
Honestly, it's probably cooler there in the summer than Austin due to the elevation. It also gets legitimately cold in Reno with snow that will stick around longer than a day.
I don't think Iran really wants nuclear weapons. It's just the only leverage they have.

Isn't that the whole worse is better thing in action? People complained about C and Unix when they were new, but they picked up so much traction, and people invested enough effort into working around the flaws, that it just achieved critical mass. Same thing with JavaScript; it's never going anywhere.

Certainly higher-level languages have edged out C in many domains though.
To the best of my knowledge, the Neo Geo core has certain chips based on a full decap and implementation in FPGA. Not the entire system though.
Of course the therapist knew. It would be horrible healthcare to do that to someone without a reason.

It is also unethical to do it to with a reason, without explaining the risks first.
Un-Managing Change
I remember watching this on local TV live all afternoon. Crazy.
I don't want to sound like I particularly love the orm pattern when I say this... But his information is about 10 years out of date. Many of the claims simply aren't true anymore or the world has moved past by other means. For instance one of his very specific claims, getters setters must be present, definitely is not true for current versions of every JPA implementation. In the claim about a default noop constructor, you can't possibly be serious unless you are doing true oop and in that case you are awarded no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

The beauty of dependency injection is it did more to make Java a functional language than Java8 with lambda notations. That pretty much eliminates the need for pure OOP, which JPA attempts to imitate. In reality JPA + JTA is a pretty awesome combination and avoids the stupid OOP paradigm.

Again. Argh. I would write a response blogpost, but argh, apathy for the orm pattern.
I have an extremely similar arc with regard to stress and anxiety. I've found exercise helped, but purely because it made my body better able to manage the physical symptoms. In talking things out with my therapist I eventually came to the conclusion that ignoring problems can actually be a very effective solution, despite what everyone tells you.
lolz elder programmerz are most likely to be hired than the freshmeat :Ð
Ubuntu VMs on demand for any workstation
Haha, i don't know right now. but from the point of view that yoga is a systematiztion of techniques that is useful for connecting to energy, correcting the flow of and balancing the energy in the body, and opening the channels in the body to allow it to handle higher bandwidth of different sorts of energies safely, I suppose that perhaps these great saints already knew how to do that on some level even if they weren't following sort of formal practices. Of course that's just a theory we'd have to look back into the past to make sure.

another perspective is maybe they discovered or were taught techniques even more advanced than what's commonly know as yoga. Maybe that helped them somehow attain their heights as you said.

From another point of view I think there's an idea that yoga is probably for the common people, you know, everyone. Maybe there's some exceptional people whose bodies are already highly tuned somehow and they sort of don't need to do that...could be possible. But that would probably be rare like Olympic level athlete rare. And maybe some of those great saints weren't even human. So maybe techniques for the everyperson human form don't apply to them.

Harder to speculate about those things than it is to know that yoga is good for me from experience, and have a theory for why correct yoga would be good for most others as well, especially meditators.

Aside from what i already said, biomedically the long holding, and the precise poses, sooth and calm the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps correctly regulate many other systems, and help massage and promoting flow in the lymphatic system, i think. Even leaving aside the energy perspectives, relaxedly holding poses for a handful of breaths, is a great tune up for your body.
I feel like that might end up with some circular fights.

The judiciary is probably the closest thing to removing laws by invalidating ones that violate rights or other rules. Although it seems they are more inclined to legislate from the bench than actually uphold rule of law.
One of those would be a problem.
Sure, but then you've dramatically reduced the scale at which it can operate, which makes it way less viable than now.
Possibly their corporate structure. Too many personalities working for their own good rather then the good of the whole.
Gut bacteria affects brain, by migrating from guts to brain - IT DOES NOT AFFECT BRAIN, WHEN IT IS IN GUT!

FFS, just, read those articles properly. I've read it as well, but somehow I don't think, that my gut is as smart as my brain...
How is that a problem? The source code for that binary is in the same repository.

I expect developers to know more than one language, especially if one of them is Erlang/Elixir. It's not a stretch to expect a backend/fullstack dev to know Go, Javascript, and/or Python on top of Elixir. It would be more common for them to not know Elixir than the previous 3.

Also 50 LOC is small enough so there is not much complexity. Making that binary grow more than needed should not be validated during code review.

My use case is as follow: I need an implementation of the iCalendar RFC. The current Elixir implementation does not implement the full RFC, especially features that I need. Implementing this myself would be far more complex than 50 LOC in another language, relying on a fully implemented and well tested library.
Population in the US is not uniform. Out east we are as dense as Europe. Even the Midwest isn't much less dense than France for selected areas the size of France. Then there is the vast amount of nothing out west.
While the second part of this is true, don't count on anyone helping you fix bugs unless you pay them. The average number of contributors to GitHub projects is 1. All the big projects have paid people from FAANGs or non-profits who pay devs for open source bug fixes.
Graal has incomplete support for Java. Last time I tried a few months ago, ObjectOutputStream was not supported (I think it is now?), which was a critical part of a library I was using, forcing me to abandon Graal.

Dealing with reflection is pretty awful, you have to comb through your entire dependency graph.

Targeting the compiler for a different OS/architecture than the host is difficult, to say the least.

There are so many great languages and runtimes to pick from these days...I can't imagine why anyone would willingly choose a technology like that.

(Don't get me wrong, Graal is a fascinating technology, and I hope that one day it is able to seamlessly compile Java code to native executables...but it's not there yet.)
Yoga is only very recently regarded as mostly physical exercise. Of the 8 limbs of yoga only one is Asana (postures)

If you read Patanjali (the foundational text) there is very little or no mention at all of posture.
Video calls too. I just got back from visiting my in laws since everyone is now vaccinated and one of my projects while I was there was running ethernet lines to their work areas. They're both on daily video calls now and poor wifi performance was driving them crazy.
Idk, that's why I need to read into this further. Many seriously think Adam is Satoshi though, so what he wants could get outsized support, regardless if there is explicit coercion or not.
It was being worked on at one point. I forget who was doing it. They showed off mockups on smoke monsters streams, but I havent seen much of it in over a year.
Telomere length and epigenetic age acceleration in adolescents with anxiety
I can't speak for folks moving in VMware's most exalted circles, but from my personal perspective the aura and reflected glamour are valuable in itself. Spring's reach and influence in enterprise programming is enormous.

Put another way: I don't think Spring makes money. It makes making money easier.
What a shame, I thought at least Samsung have their DeX albeit with special hardware. So no more DeX? I presume some new Android phones at least support mirroring through USB-C.
That’s the problem with all the idiotic blockchain projects around at the moment. I was only ninety percent sure it was a joke until about halfway through when the performance chart confirmed it but it is only slightly more ridiculous than several “legitimate” projects.
I had my first panic/anxiety attack in my mid-20s, and then more frequently in my late 30s. It sucks, and especially the first couple of times you really may have no idea what hit you.

There were a couple of things that ultimately worked for me, although I think it's important to note they may not work for everyone since people are different. What helped was a combination of CBT and Buddha breathing and mindful breathing-focsed meditation. I also became (with the help of my counselor) more self-aware, so I could realize when I was starting to become anxious and use breathing techniques to intervene before it became a full-blown attack.

I don't do it as much now but for quite a while I had a serious journaling habit (I'd go through a Moleskine-sized hardbound notebook every couple of months) and that turned out to be surprisingly helpful; I could get the things that were stressing me out or depressing me written down on paper and out of my head. For me, at least, it worked.

All that said, for someone who's dealing with anxiety, I think the best thing is to talk to a professional.

As for me, things have gotten better; I don't get these attacks so much anymore and a lot of the time I'm able to keep them from escalating into a full blown one just by focusing on breathing for a while.
Detectable amounts of Fukushima radiation have already washed up on the shore of Washington State. After the Chernobyl disaster, detectable levels were in the air over the US.

Although they were detectable, the amounts were insignificant and posed no danger. After all, we're bombarded with background radiation every day.

The carbon 14 in all organic material is radioactive. That's why radiocarbon dating works.
Rise of the 10x Class
Life is a long term game. Don't box yourself with status and compare yourself with others. Take a step back and assess what you want out of life and what you like to do. Go behind experience rather than money. Money will follow you when you have gained experience. There is no end to learning in this life. Think Long term always. 35 is an age where we are no junior or seniors. You have lot of options to chose from, so take your time to choose.
Nice. I've been in the industry and in the same company for 9 years. I'm a midlevel dev. They've had me switch stacks 4 times. Every time it becomes much more difficult to learn the new stack. I think part of it is lack of motivation - why try my hardest if the knowledge will be thrown away in a year or two? (And they don't follow their own policies, to my detriment)
Cool!

We did some work on DARPA's RAM REPLAY program, and there was a consortium trying that for "tagging" memories: they'd pair something to be memorized with a sound during (awake) study sessions, and then play the sound to a sleeping participant to reactivate that memory during sleep.

Stephen Simons was the lead from Teledyne; there were also folks from UCR and Endonovo Therapeutics, I think. It sorta seemed to work (here's the paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2018.0002...) , though I remember they ended up needing to build a fancy system to optimize the cue volume so it was loud but not so loud that it woke the participants up.
So this will come in handy the day you get robbed after forgetting to charge your phone and decide you'd rather carry on with your afternoon rather than go to the police and then back home.

In all seriousness, I forget my wallet more often than someone my age should. Keeping an extra couple of twenties in my car has stopped that from ever once being a problem. I've never felt the need to have a payment option on my phone or smartwatch, let alone implanted in my arm. What happens when you decide to change banks?
The movie is not set in the U.S. It's set in Belgium and was fictional. The described scene occurred as part of the criminal justice system, not outside of it.
This is true. Most of these comparisons are between a well-used system with a brand-new one. “Of course Firefox feels snappier than Chrome, you haven’t installed your 20 extensions yet.” A so on.
Is this non-implementation language of thought documented somewhere, so that people can learn it and think with it? And does this language have mutable cons cells, with lists terminated by nil, which is a self-evaluating symbol that also denotes false? Are there interned symbols, quote and all that?

Well, he's only CEO because the previous one decided to donate some of his own money in private to a mainstream political campaign. I guess the most important thing is how woke this CEO is.
i seem to meet more and more people who have experienced acute anxiety / panic attacks than ever. it leads me to wonder if it's just more understood and easier to talk about now, or is there some phenomenon where the incidence is actually increasing?
I misread part of the study. The “each” part was for each household, so you’d have to cut those numbers in half for the $163k and $256k statement above
Who talked about "resume builder"?

I could not care less about a resume for 2 reasons,

First, I'm trying to decide if Elixir would be a viable option for my business, based on its ecosystem.

Secondly, the skills I look for in a resume are:

- methodology (design patterns)
- data structures knowledge (algorithmic)
- debugging

Because those are the skills that matter, not the number of language you know. Those skills are needed in ANY language.

The language is just a syntax to express those skills, it can be learned.
About the things I think that may help at least one peroson in the world
That would kill what Google Flights call Hacker Fare (& many others too before Google). Essentially you buy a local leg ticket, & another leg ticket, international in your example. Both airlines does not know about other legs (although thus not responsible for any delay or missing nezt leg).
Small nitpick, if you're diligent with the paperwork and aren't a victim of some of the recent loan servicing scandals then the (federal) loan will eventually be forgiven so long as you pay a percentage of your income (which can be as low as $0). Functionally student loans are a lot like a typical ISA with a longer period (and comparable max total payments) which can't be discharged.
The problem is hub-and-spoke approach of many national carriers (Air France included). Covid travel restrictions aside, one can buy an air itinerary that gets them from NYC to Bordeaux (or Nice, or Nantes, or Toulouse, or Marseille, or Lyon, or Strasbourg) all via CDG.

That airport train station is set up to transport the passengers from the airport to the city center, not inter-city travel.

Air France is right to complaint - banning all those short flights just shifts the juiciest international city pairs to a nearby hub, and what used to be NYC-CDG-BOD will become NYC-LHR-BOD or NYC-MAD-BOD, served by a different airline.
Seems like it was used earlier than 2016? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_money

> The name "helicopter money" was first coined by Milton Friedman in 1969, when he wrote a parable of dropping money from a helicopter to illustrate the effects of monetary expansion. The concept was revived by economists as a monetary policy proposal in the early 2000s following Japan's Lost Decade. In November 2002, Ben Bernanke, then Federal Reserve Board governor, and later chairman suggested that helicopter money could always be used to prevent deflation.
i went to a qualcomm presentation at CES a decade ago where they demoed surround sound with basic cheap stereo cans and it was impressive as hell. i was always surprised it never seemed to take off as a general thing.
If you want low density, don't let employers move in and create lots of jobs.

But if you do allow job creation, while not creating housing for the people working those jobs, that absolutely is rent seeking.

An interesting read. I hadn't heard of the competitors popping up.

> And it’s easy to leave. Unlike on Facebook or Twitter, Substack writers can simply take their email lists and direct connections to their readers with them.

Surely those who got contracts have obligations to stay.

I'm guessing if you left a centralised platform over others opinions you are in for a really rough time on a decentralised one where anyone can host their servers under the same brand. Not sure if they've thought this through, Mastadon failed hilariously to keep Gab away, who now run the largest fediverse node out there.
