Ask HN: Best resources to support a partner with depression?
Not sure if this is a perfect fit for HN but seeing as a lot of people here have some good insight into mental health from time to time, and a lot of people here have struggled. I have done a bunch of googling and I am at a loss to find resources that are more than just surface level. I have my own mental health issues but the depression I've struggled with in the past has always been something I've fixed by improving my life and prospects. So am at a loss as my poor partner is suffering terribly and has been for a while, and I don't think I've been a great help by just trying to fix things in our life and situation as it feels like I'm not really doing all that I can be.
Note: this fire was actually last year when there was a spate of EV fires, but was not reported publicly until today.

The big takeaway from these fires is that proper safety for EVs might soon mean not leaving them in garages, especially those attached/part of residential structures. Expect insurance companies to adjust home insurance policies accordingly to account for EV fire risks.
Which is funny because the same people claim a lot of Covid deaths are from other medical conditions.
I suggest watching this talk:

Or pretty much any other by Chandler to understand why the STL sucks and why you should write better datastructures for your own use cases.
Esoteric programming languages are usually created to bend the boundaries of programming language design or prove something, not to be actually used to write software. It is hacker culture.
This looks so awesome, but there is no way that I am putting this kind of personal data into the cloud (and am particularly not wanting to feed Google's stalker AI).

From the FAQ, when asked if there was an Excel version:

-------------------

Unfortunately not.

For those keeping score at home, you’ll know that I have a preference for excel over Google Sheets. However, I haven’t been able to find a reliable way of getting current and historical stock/ETF price data to import automatically into excel.

While Office 365 has a new “Stocks” feature that lets you import real-time stock prices into excel, this unfortunately doesn’t work for historical prices (yesterday, last month, last year’s price, etc).

This spreadsheet uses historical pricing info to calculate portfolio performance between any two dates, so historical prices are a critical input.

-------------------

I'm finding it hard to believe that finance professionals don't have some kind of programmatic access to "current and historical stock/ETF price data." Does anyone know? I'd be willing to pay a reasonable "individual investor" level fee.
For media formats the support is often dependent on the OS. It's been that way forever (ask anyone deploying video in early html5 and getting it to work cross-os and cross-platform). I guess it's more expected with videos, but images are (usually) handled the same.
The article states, "De Blasio said City Hall is finalizing the regulations, including if children younger than 12 years old with vaccinated parents will be allowed to dine indoors." if does not mean that they are not banned; it also does not provide an expectation from city hall as to their direction on the issue of children.

> We have never required anything like this to go to a restaurant. Or the gym. Or the beach. This is a huge new step.

Indeed, instead there used to be mandatory, involuntary quarantine enforcement, sometimes (typhus, polio) on a per-household basis with the enforcement notice posted prominently on the front door. That restricted not only restaurants and beach visits but all visits of any kind.

"...people who are vaccinated can still transmit the virus "

Well, yes, In the same way an infant may fight Muhammad Ali. Futurama references aside, the vast majority of data shows that vaccinated people are far less likely to spread the virus.
The point is that if a neural network can predict the relationship when labelled with such accuracy it means this information is unavoidably encoded within the image. The result is that even when race is not labeled that the AI might still be racist by automatically (and unknowingly) learning the race.
You're right, and I and you know you're right, but you're also banging your head against a brick wall. The only real thing for sane people to do at this point is to just live our lives and let these people pave the road to hell they'll unhappily run down. These are not rational minds and they get less rational with every day. Time to disconnect from them and live a healthy, happy, positive, non neurotic life tbh.
Good point for sure.
It isn't uncommon for me to find a site that uses it legitimately. Sometimes for telling the user info, sometimes for reporting an error, and sometimes for other goals.
Sure, it'd be better if they did it in a more normal manner (writing their message into an HTML paragraph), but they do use it.
But a lot of these sites are dead (though some aren't) and so it for the most part doesn't matter if you remove it now or after three years. They'll still break or lose functionality.
Just spit out a warning to the dev console when it is used.
I think the horizontal vs vertical memory safety argument needs to be better marketed. Because right now Memory safety PL is quite literally trademarked by Rust in any discussions.
Suggesting that Adults must be vaccinated against viruses that disproportionately harm Adults in order to participate in public life is not irrelevant to the question
Pretty sure it's a different problem - alert() is a true modal dialog that blocks almost all other normal interactions and is very disruptive. Back in the day when apps weren't constantly gaming all user interactions to squeeze on extra ad click out or whatever, it was still abused - but rarely.

Now if you wander down the wrong internet 'alley' you'll get mugged by someone using alert() to almost completely hijack your normal session. Especially for older folks (my grandpa really suffered from this), it becomes impossible - to the point they'll even call someone up and give them their credit card number sometimes so they can 'get to their email'.

Warnings to the dev console won't stop this type of harassment of users - only stopping it from being the modal dialog it is supposed to be (per alert() prior behavior) will.
Looking at the CDC's annual death stats[0], the pandemic would be the number three killer, and that's after all the extreme measures we've taken.

I agree to some extent, but if the virus mutates among the unvaccinated and breaks through all current vaccines, small businesses profitability will be a small part of a much larger catastrophe.
I don't want to go through a bunch of training to learn how to write good software. It would be great if a website just told me which buttons to press on the keyboard.
Did you do the exercise as well? There is a lot more evidence that exercise lowers your cholesterol than that eating eggs raises it.

Not only is your anecdote N=1, but you also probably changed severak variables with controlling any of them.
I just visited my grandmother's sister's family in the villages. They're not vaccinated at all, because they think that the vaccine is more dangerous than the Delta variant.

I was much more sad than angry, especially not at them: the political system confused people too much. I think we should all do what we can for unvaccinated people, but at this time it's all their personal responsability even if the misinformation was created on purpuse.
Thanks for pointing this out. I’ll add a fallback using the “picture” element (TIL).

I also use some javascript to delay rendering until the browser window stays on an image. That could very well be introducing some wonkiness.
What do you do when you’re an API SaaS, and it’s your clients’ apps that are making thundering-herd requests?

Imagine you’re a service like Feedly, and one of your “direct customer” API clients — some feed-reader mobile client — has coded their apps such that all of their connected clients will re-request the specific user’s unique feed at exact, crontab-like 5-minute offsets from the start of the hour. So every five minutes, you get a huge burst of traffic, from all these clients—and it’s all different traffic, with nothing coalescesable.

You don’t control the client in this case, but nor can you simply ban them—they’re your paying customers! (Yes, you can “fire your customer”, but this would be most of your customers…)

And certainly, you can try to teach the devs of your client how to write their own jitter logic—but that rarely works out, as often it’s junior frontend devs who wrote the client-side code, and it’s hard to have a non-intermediated conversation with them.
It’s not a strawman. We already require a variety of vaccinations so the “requiring people to consume a medical product is wrong” argument is bunk. The only differentiation is that this vaccine has yet to receive full approval. I’m simply focusing on the only relevant part of the argument that is being made here, and pointing out that in 6 weeks it won’t hold any water anymore.

What is the death rate of covid? like .01%. If you don't get the vax, your likelihood of dying is just so low, so why all the fearmongering?

Edit - .054% chance of dying. 4.25M deaths worldwide out of 7.8 billion people.
It usually goes something like this:

We need software to do X.

Call IT, they give you software that sort of does part of X, but it's some enterprise garbage where you quit your job if you have to use it.

Call IT and tell them that's not a good solution. We have this other realistic solution instead.

IT, not wanting to be bothered, laughs and hangs up the phone. Sometimes they'll throw in an excuse that everyone knows doesn't make any sense.

The workers that need to do their job pay for an actually working solution out of other funds (or use their personal software).

Things go wrong and they call you. It's the ineffectiveness of IT to help people get their work done that's the source of the problem.
I'm so glad she said this:

“there’s a long history” in the United States of people “needing to show their papers”

Now maybe we can get rid of drivers licenses, and passports, and Social Security Cards, and car insurance cards, and health insurance cards, and birth certificates, and high school diplomas, and college diploma's, and license plates, and car registrations.

Instead we should all just work together as a community.
High vaccination rates will only exert selection pressure on the virus causing new mutation strains to become dominant.

How is this not understood?

Vaccines should only be used for targeted at-risk population. Everyone else should strive for natural immunity.
Sorry I think it was leaning the other way when I wrote the comment. At least the top section I read through. Good news. I’ll leave my comment up.
I don’t feel like the lawsuit really changed salaries either

A couple years ago I talked to a few of my friends in the 2d animation industry and they were like "all the studios are constantly trying to stretch the job descriptions to get more work out of what's already a punishing workload". It's a brutal business all around, even in their side of things where they actually have a union. There's a lot of people willing to work for peanuts because they get to be part of the magic, including me twenty years ago.

I look from outside and I really dunno if I feel like the broad cg/vfx/animation industry's sustainable. Everything costs so damn much and the field's increasingly crowded, despite it all slowly turning into divisions of Disney competing with itself.
There is no easy policy win re kids. Sure, we can be like fuck it all, children are mostly safe from covid, but then its almost guaranteed parents and everybody else in household will get it. I know for 100% we both did get it from our son who brought it from kindergarden. We were super careful for almost a year and it worked well. We got covid while my wife was pregnant. Not a nice situation to say at least.

How do you set that restrictions to adults are OK because we want to protect them, but for kids aren't? Those restrictions then kind of become pointless, don't they? Older people also want to see their grandkids desperately, I think that's a simple fact of life.

So unless I am reading it wrong, folks are annoyed because suddenly they have to take care of their kids for 2 weeks. I know I had a rough week+something when I was WFH and caring for our son whose kindergarden got closed due to covid (and he brought it home as we found almost a week later). But fuck, I've managed and it brought me closer to my son, juggling tons of conf calls and so can almost everybody else for few weeks. Its just a work, on all calls in past year there have been kids yelling in the background, sometimes mine too. It is actually properly cool to hear how those voices have their lives running in the background.

Its true that those who physically have to be present at work (like my wife, doctor) had tougher times if kindergardens locked down and no solution in sight. But the amount of couples where both parents were in same situation is properly miniscule, mostly folks that complain don't fall there. Its folks who had their convenient busy lives suddenly messed up a bit and had to fully focus on their closest ones and found out proper parenting 24/7 is hard.

Society doesn't have an easy coping mechanism for this since we don't have robot nannies immune to viruses. That sucks, and will suck. Minor obstacle that builds character and family bonds I'd say.

Many years ago my uncle told me eggs were bad because cholesterol. So naturally, I ate 6-8 eggs a day for a few weeks, then went for a lipid panel. My HDL went from 50 to 60 and my LDL went from 80 to 70. I think I had two ramen noodles right before that too. Granted, the initial readings were from a year before, so maybe it wasn't the eggs.

They were never forgotten. Even the earliest 1977 BBC account "Still Secret" in "The Secret War" series credited them greatly.

I think the idea is that if the night comes soon after the oxygen is produced, it can be reabsorbed quickly. If the day is longer the oxygen has more time to diffuse out of where it was produced, such that it's gone by the time the night comes.
If we're only considering the energy required to brew the coffee, perhaps. But we cannot neglect the energy required to get to the coffee. It makes no sense to have people go out of their way to get a cup of coffee from a shop when they can brew pots of it at home without ever needing to turn on their car (except to get more beans or grounds, typically done with a grocery run so the energy cost is very small in comparison to shops).

It could maybe make sense for commuters who have shops on their way to their place of work and who only want one cup of coffee at the start of their work day. But this completely neglects everyone who:

1. Works from home (or doesn't work)

2. Doesn't have a shop that's on their way to their workplace

3. Wants more than one cup of coffee

Oh my. This person didn't even get Ubuntu working properly and simply gave up to... use Windows? Instead of macOS? Because they couldn't get their setup straight on Linux?

I don't know what's more frustrating: Reading through this nonsense or seeing it got upvotes.

Even the hardware selection makes no sense at all, with no component but the non-functional GPU benefiting from the X570. The selected SSD is Gen3 and the CPU is a lower-end Ryzen where there's practically no difference between e.g. a X470 mainboard compared to the X570, when overclocked. Also overclocking is probably not what the author intended to do anyway, since there's no info on the cooling whatsoever, making statements like this even appear even more uneducated:

> While portability is definitely a problem with desktops, they also have some cool advantages like:
>
> - They don’t overheat

Clearly the author followed an "let me get the flashiest stuff that is available on Amazon right now"-approach and didn't actually take the time and effort to put together components that actually make sense.

For example, it would have taken literally a single quick search on the search engine of your choice to find at least one Phoronix post about a more recent AMD Radeon RX model that runs perfectly fine under Linux. Not to mention that "StarCraft II, Tomb Raider, Diablo III, etc" (titles that were release ~2010) don't even need a dedicated GPU and would run just fine (>30fps) on a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G APU. In fact, this whole computer could have been a $700 AMD NUC (see "Aspen") and would have been perfectly fine for the workload described by the author and actually run a smooth Linux experience.

Linux is not bad at hardware, it's you that's bad at planning and implementing a solution!

Let me tell you about this car called the Spark EV. Being EV doesn't make it not a Spark...

Don't get me wrong, these cars are fine cars and go from A to B just like the rest of them but the HN class of consumer who generally poo-poos anything that isn't Toyota Honda, Volvo or Tesla will find reasons to dislike them.

I've also see shadow IT be the only part of the IT operation which is safe because it was run by people with security expertise, the cloud provider has a stronger security foundation than on-premise (not uncommon), and central IT's security group was primarily a compliance shop which had lots of Word documents and not much in the way of technical skills.

The way I read shadow IT is as the requirements analysis central IT hasn't done. People aren't taking on all of that extra expense because they want two jobs, they're doing it because central IT is making it hard to do their jobs. When security policies conflict with productivity, it has a direct cost from inefficiency but often a greater one by training people to think of central IT as an obstacle to be bypassed rather than an ally. That inevitably causes other problems and takes a considerable amount of work to improve.
This is throwing a big wrench into the idea that EVs could help stabilize the grid in the era of relatively unreliable renewable energy sources.

At least for now until better battery tech will emerge. Hopefully insurance will keep track of this and update their policies regularly.

Once upon a time there was town called Statisticsville with a population of 1000 people. Every year around 8 people die. Sometimes 7, sometimes 9. One year, a new infectious disease came along and killed 2 additional people (both elderly). The population nearly had a civil war over these additional 2 deaths because some people thought the additional 2 deaths could have been prevented with better enforced public health practices while the other group thought it wasn't worth the social/economic costs. Looking forward to the next year, the people were still divided into two groups - those who were worried that the infectious disease might kill another person, and those that didn't really care much. The discord and contention between the groups escalated with each side increasingly rigid and unable to empathize with the other side until violence broke out and Statisticsville descended into anarchy.

The End
