Caveat: I'm not a medical professional. But it's something I've spent tons of time wondering about myself. Personally, I think isolation is what kicked it off widespread. Humans are social creatures, always have been. And now we go to work, come home to our AC, watch TV alone or at best with a family member. And many of us don't even get the social interaction of work anymore.

Add to that the stress of work. Then the stress of politics, then the stress of social media, and now, lockdowns and doom/gloom news. It's no wonder people are at wits end.

Isolation is what media and tech companies want, as it means you'll spend more time 'engaging.' Keep checking your feed while watching the 24h news cycle. And in doing so further alienating people from one another.

I have no idea how this is resolved, but it certainly doesn't seem sustainable.

I switched over to using a camcorder with a power switch and electric lens cover. It sits on small tripod behind my monitors, has far better color correction/white balance controls than most webcams out there that I’m aware of. But it makes it quite evident when it’s in use vs not, as the physical lens cover is electronically tied to its power status (automatically shuts when off) and the device is not present to the OS at all when device is powered off. So far zero problems with using it and OBS when flipping its power state back and forth multiple times in a day. Teams/Windows handles the presence/absence gracefully and quickly. It’s also nice to have an IR remote for it, though I rarely use it. I think the only thing to watch out for in this set up - that is potentially inherently worse than a webcam - is latency of video signal. You get what you pay for in cameras, so a cheap camcorder outputting over hdmi may introduce unbearable latency in video signal.

It's a worker's market out here right now and most employers are trying to behave like it's not.

I'm about to make my second move this year. Both moves will be because of terrible work environments that my employers believed they could force me to endure.
I just finished reading the part where the article blames alcoholics for their addiction and claims that they drink because of emotional pain:

> The reason an alcoholic will repeatedly drink — despite the detrimental effects — is because drinking distracts them from their emotional pain.

> There are multiple factors which lead someone to drink but the only person responsible for an alcoholic picking up another drink is them.

I know this isn't central to the argument but it would have been better left out. This seems to be the author's simplistic take on what is actually a very complex issue, and I don't believe is a fair synopsis.

I think that we should be helping Taiwan now and doing whatever it take so that it doesn’t get to that. Defending Taiwan with troops is world war three even if it is the right thing to do.
I dunno, but it sounds like we should get a beer sometime.

Not sure if this resonates also, but the engineers that took over all came from outside healthcare and had a strong "I'm going to apply what I know from Ticketmaster to solve healthcare!" mentality. Those of us that have 15 years of experience in healthcare would, at best, have a 10 minute "knowledge sharing" meeting with the engineering and product managers. And then we'd sit back and watch them make some really naive mistakes. [to be clear, I'm not about gatekeeping people from being involved in health tech, but rather I'm just exhausted at interacting with people with no self-awareness about the amount of things they don't know about a particular domain]

I'm still a bit bummed because I think we were actually just starting to get to some really cool, actually innovative, population health approaches that seemed effective for both improving outcomes and minimizing provider burnout. :(

I think there is no way 996 work culture improves productivity. Working that long only causes burn out which makes developers slower and more prone to mistakes, and with more mistakes leads to more effort devoted towards fixing those mistakes.

Personally, my productivity varies greatly depending on my mental state, days when I am feeling fresh/sharp/motivated I can accomplish more in a few hours than I could over days burnt out, and the resulting code is more resilient and thought out than I anything I could produce burnt out. When I am burn out, my mind is foggy and less able to reason about various branches of the program and I am way less motivated.

IMO like other posters have stated, 996 culture is less about productivity and more keeping up appearances with management. In China/SK/Japan you don't leave until your boss leaves, even if your work is done, so you will see people staying late a work shopping online or playing video games. The more the office becomes your home the less productive of an environment it becomes.

Yes, this approach works best with the "premature optimization is the root of all evil" axiom. When I worked on high-performance servers in C#, we would occasionally find ways to 1) reduce allocations 2) make allocations either very short-lived so they stay in the short-term GC timeframe or very long-lived (object pooling/reuse or creating object-aggregates for pseudo-slab allocation).

I guess that's because "this sort of thing" is really a very special use-case that is the primary focus of flatpak. That said: nothing prevents people from specifying an appropriate portal.

I guess the intersection of people that a) want to run a network package capture program that for even for "normal" use requires root privileges or privilege escalation and b) want to run said app as a distro-independent software is rather small.

Since the aim of flatpak is to provide easy sandboxing out of the box, I guess that running applications without sandboxing is not rally high priority for the developers.

> Frankly that's pretty ridiculous and makes the flatpak nigh-useless.

Not really. There are plenty of use-cases where flatpak shines.
For some reason, it's hilarious to anthropomorphize the virus.

I wonder how many of the people that wouldn’t support it understand just how critical Taiwan’s semiconductor industry is. Not only critical to our national interest, but to their day-to-day lives.

Look at what the current semiconductor shortage is doing to our internal manufacturing industry. I don’t think many Americans would be OK with a genocidal dictatorship holding a switch that could literally turn our economy off and on at will.
No need to even go up to this point. Numbers that are too different are enough 1e300 + 1 will be equal to 1e300. And it would still be even if 1 was added 1e300 times.
> If the "team" that came up with this whole package got a cut of the WoW gold that the vendor received for their wares, that would provide an incentive to this team to make their content compelling.

There's have to be careful thought as to how this works, as the incentives might work out to a lopsided amount of content that maximized the thing that resulted in designer compensation.

Since the resources used aren't really an internalized cost in most cases, the NPC needs to be balanced against an idealized cost/value system that is often judgement based, meaning that a lot of work is required assessing if the designed asset is good for the system or not.

The simple example would be an NPC that if you walk up to grants you ten minutes of immunity for 1% of your wealth. Not only will something like that be extremely popular on it's own, if the designers get a percentage of the received gold, they are incentivized to make it always used. Maybe that means making it easily available almost all the time, and only taking 0.1% of wealth, so people use it even more often. But the real question is, does that break the game? The designers can be entirely motivated by profit, and not care about overall game function and health. The only way to combat this is to either carefully align incentives such as game health to function which is tricky (everyone might love the immunity boon for the first week and always profess to like it but end up playing less because of less challenge and engagement) or to have the game runners carefully assess and tweak all submitted proposals, at which point what you're getting from the public may not be worth it.

Maybe it would work if it was more just a nice kickback for contributing though. Design a module or something and submit to be accepted into core, and if it's accepted into the core you get a set amount of game currency which is predefined at certain amounts based on contribution, and a one time payout. Then the monetary incentive is to appease the game runners and provide something useful for the game, which aligns with any altruistic incentive to improve the game you're playing.
Ok, name them. But remember Russia has never involved itself where it does not have deep cultural ties. Or where it's actually been invited, like Syria.
We could go on for a decade about this without convincing each other. Probably not productive.

So I'll just say that if the situation were inverted -- if e.g. Russia was sitting in Mexico "promoting democracy" -- we'd be engaging in "multiple unprovoked invasions" too. Reagan and NATO told Gorbachev pre-collapse that there'd be no NATO expansion in the future. They lied. We've forgotten that. You think the Russians have? Should they?

Furthermore, the situation was inverted -- look at the Cuban missile crisis. Does anyone say that the US shouldn't have threatened to vaporize the island to get the Russians out of there? It's our backyard! Surely we were justified in feeling threatened.

I don't care for the Russian regime whatsoever, and Putin's a little Napoleon-complex turd. A weak, insecure little man. But I'm sorry pal, we're the ones threatening these people in their neck of the woods. NATO should've disbanded the day the hammer and sickle stopped flying over the Kremlin.

My claim is that you'd behave in the exact same way.

I had lost weight without counting calories. CICO works, but it didn't work in the long term for me.

My method of losing weight and eventual weight maintenance, is intermittent fasting.

It just means that I don't eat for long periods of time. Every week, I undergo a 48 hours fast and for the rest of time, I effectively only eat one meal a day.
Close to 5€ per month for my virtual server. Almost half the total cost. I’m still paying them because I’m not sure people could still contact my web server (and when I used it my mail server) if it was IPv6 only.

Thank you! It doesn't take a lot of maintenance, mostly side income at this point. But I have put in a LOT of hours on it over the years. I will work on it in bursts, and take a few weeks and work on it 3-5 hours a day, and then not work on it at all for a while. I do need to keep the image library fresh, but that is pretty easy. To be honest, if I worked a bit more on it, I think it could do a lot better.
Your point is that food deserts are evidence of preference? That doesn’t make a lot of sense: privation is defined by the absence of actual choice.

> These are ineffective because of people's refusal to cooperate.

In what sense is this not an unfalsifiable hypothesis? Are cases exploding in Japan because of the 1% of people who don't wear masks in public there? Are Australia and New Zealand trapped in dystopian house arrest because there are just boatloads of degenerates who won't follow the rules?

What the hell good is a public health intervention if it requires an impossibly perfect 100% level of compliance to even work? And crumbles to pieces the second you relax the restriction?
> we should be helping Taiwan now and doing whatever it take so that it doesn’t get to that

If you look at the questions asked, the most support is for these measures. Signing a free-trade agreement, recognizing Taiwan and supporting its international recognition, et cetera.

At the point we get to even selling arms to Taiwan, the split become even, mirroring the support for sending troops. (In defence of that divergence, sending troops would presumably be in response to a Chinese offensive. Sending arms is a provocation in itself.)

Um...yes. And that is a very good thing. Because if there is anything the human brain is good at, it's pattern matching. Especially on visual data.

And there is a lot of value in that.
How much money is "enough" is the problem. Companies seem to always choose "all the money" but I'm not sure that is always wise.

Artificial sweeteners haven't had the effect of making people thinner in the real world because it affects your sense of taste and the microbiome in your digestive system.

> Dr. Robert Lustig, an obesity expert and professor emeritus at the University of California, San Francisco, said that artificial sweeteners confuse the body: Their sweet flavors send a signal to the brain and the digestive system to brace for a flood of sugar. But when those calories never arrive, it can send hormones like insulin out of whack, over time leading to metabolic dysfunction, he said.
> “The short answer is that artificial sweeteners are probably better than sugar, but not by much,” Dr. Lustig said.

It's not propaganda to quote what the meaning of the phrase was. He didnt say, "fascism is the police giving businesses information", he said the /opposite/. The quote is expressed in a language which is here grossly misinterpreted.

The idea that any *dictatorial* state of ww2 era had "unbounded free markets" is pretty insane, and reveals that it is your agenda to associate modern political movemnets you dislike with a totalised military state of the 1940s; in which every citizen was consripted into the military.

I dont know why anyone today things a totalised military state has anything to do with modern politics; it doesnt.
"Given up" is an interesting way of putting it.
Given up on what or whom? Do fat people want me to save and educate them?
You're acting like I should be doing something personally about other people being fat.

I think it should be treated just like any other chronic condition, you try to be as healthy as possible within the paradigm. If you want to lose weight, great, but people starting to lose weight need to understand that the habits they are using will likely have to be permanent fixtures for the rest of their life. Returning to a "normal" lifestyle is how the weight was gained in the first place after all.

Irresponsible to whom?
You are the one advocating for this exact kind of analysis, not me, I merely obliged you.

Your stated solutions below are 'ban food' and 'education'.

If you know anything about how fat people are treated at doctor's offices, 'stop being fat, eat less' is probably the first and last thing they hear at any checkup.

It's not working. '
Ban food' is intriguing, but I don't believe it's practical for, I hope, obvious reasons.

I wrote a little on this last year, mostly still valid: https://raphlinus.github.io/rust/druid/2020/09/28/rust-2021....

I think there are approximately five viable Rust toolkits: Iced, Makepad, sixtyfps, egui, and Druid (in no particular order). Any of these five could evolve to being a real solution, with enough investment. Of course, it's possible another could arise, or that I've given short shrift to one of the other contenders (areweguiyet has a list, but that resource is not super well maintained).

There are some things easier to do in Iced than Druid (especially integration with 3D, which is something we currently don't do at all). On the other hand, we're pushing pretty hard on infrastructure: proper text handling, input methods, subwindows, etc. Currently, Druid relies on platform capabilities for 2D drawing, but my main work right now is a new GPU renderer. And we hope to work with 'mwcampbell on accessibility in the next year (integrating AccessKit).

We've got a great community, but tend not to toot our horn very loudly, so people might not be as aware of the progress we're making. By contrast, sixtyfps is a commercial product (in addition to a GPL release) and has weekly updates.
