I can totally relate to your experiences.

Writting about myself and what seems to have helped me.

Have been on medications for two years (getting off of them now), and in therapy for a year. Likewise, I had (or have) troubles with feeling stagnated/unmotivated after bursts of productivity and motivation.

The key insight was that creativity and productivity does not come without cost. I used to overwork myself and my body. After "feeding" the intellectual part of me, the other parts became "hungry".

The solution for me is to have breaks, even when I am in the state of flow while doing something productive, and use that energy to work on the dull activities that are required to keep me healthy - physically and psychologically. The stream of consciousness style of journaling helps me as well - it helps the root cause of my bad feelings show themselves, sometimes in a subtle way.

What you may want to have a look at is Active Imagination[1], it comes from Jungian analytical psychology. I find it really helpful.

Good luck!

This is what progress looks like. So many places in the world continue to regress despite even being wealthy.
I see taxes simply as the price of civilization. I would obviously prefer to have more wealth, but not at the price of having to create and defend everything myself!
but since we live in a highly interdependent scociety, forcing everyone to stay at home is highly unrealistic.

just think about your life necceseties (food, water, waste, security...) who is gonna care for that?
Some checklists include memory items - things that ought to be done immediately, without delay caused by looking up a checklist. An engine failure scenario is one where you don't want to spend time getting out the checklist.

For the engine checks, you develop a flow from one area of the cockpit to the other, basically touching everything related to the engine. For a Cessna 172 you'd check fuel selector valve, alternate air intake, fuel shutoff valve, throttle, mixture, carb heat (if equipped), engine instruments, ignition switch, magnetos, fuel pump (if equipped).
And don't use shell for writing complex scripts, there are better automation tools and languages.
I presume there were extensive discussions between the two parties about the wording before this statement was published.

What an articulate description of your views. Thank you!

I know it was only a subset of your comment, but I’m very curious how an expiring subcurrency would function in an real economy.

How would you propose regulations work for a food credits “black market”, e.g. I will pay you 150 general-purpose capital credits for your 200 food bucks?

Would non-digital cash be completely done away with? What about objects of value that could be given to others? Would the transfer of expiring assets for non-expiring assets be prohibited? What about favors and more subtle ways of transfer?

How would food credits be legitimately redeemed? Would a small shop that complies with policy be able to instantly convert a food credits profit into capital that they could use to expand their business?
It also means that, often, it will be slower and/or more inconvenient to use the car.

For example, in my city, for distances inside the urban core, bicycle is usually the fastest mode of transport, public transport is about 1.5x - 2x the bicycle (fine if you are feeling lazy), and car is 1.5x - 3x the bicycle depending on time of day and associated traffic levels.

Sure, if the weather is horrible and I am feeling lazy, I might use my car instead of jumping on the bike, but often after reaching my destination I'll realize that it wasn't really worth taking the car.
The goal of every negotiation isn’t to extract the theoretical maximum from the counterparty.

The goal can be to reach a mutually agreeable solution as quickly as possible. In this case, saying “this is what I’ll agree to” up front works towards that goal even if it does leave some meat on the bone.

The European reliance of course. Expecting a KGB agent turned warlord to sell key resource for a good price forever without any strings attached is just crazy.

This would suggest that we are not simply using the wrong dictionaries, but in fact, learning to deploy language inaptly from grade school onward. Students are examined on definitional understanding rather than the "hues" to which the author alludes. Command of language would necessarily include details of how one word is subtly different from another.

How should our system of teaching language be altered?
Really? Fascinating. I’ve not heard anyone call them that in my 20+ years of programming!
Man, I'm so glad that I was able to experience the Internet/Web in those early stages. The epic feeling is just something else compared to what we have today.
well, a a-bomb is very effective at eliminating someone, but it'd be stupid to ignore it's collateral damage.

I was placed on some sort of spam list immediately following a PayPal dispute with a seller and found this thread that helped me tame the spam bombing I’ve experienced ever since: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/89119/how-to-fil...

The majority of the spam came in with emojis in the from or subject line, so this was immediately helpful for that, then I just add a rule whenever I notice certain phrases popping up more often.

I’d be delighted if someone can tell me I’m wrong, but it seems like Gmail filters don’t have built in options for stuff like emojis or regular expressions. Very disappointing that I have to brute force script my own filters.
In the US (and many other countries) as soon as the cryptocurrency is “under your control” tax issues hit. Because of this the taxation and accounting for these transactions is ridiculous:

- Get BTC from customer with X value in USD at time of sale

- Trade to USD with Y value at time of trade

- Track AND report gain/loss between X and Y values

…so in addition to all of the accounting and reporting overhead you get the added benefit of never really knowing what you’re selling anything for in your local currency.

Unless you’re a cryptocurrency maximalist or selling to a cryptocurrency audience this just doesn’t make any sense.
> that's a very poor comparison to the outright falsehoods perpetuated by propaganda.

No it's a very apt one. Millions of people fervently "know" that ample evidence exists implicating Trump in colluding with Putin to hack the election. They've never seen it, but they are sure it must be there. Just the same as this wall.

> Not only was the Trump campaign never exonerated of the collusion accusations,

It was, by the Mueller report.

From https://www.justice.gov/archives/sco/file/1373816/download

Excerpts from p.181-183

"The investigation did not establish that the contacts described in Volume I,
Section IV, supra, amounted to an agreement to commit any substantive violation
of federal criminal law—including foreign-influence and campaign-finance
laws, both of which are discussed further below."

"The investigation did not establish any agreement among Campaign officials—or
between such officials and Russia-linked individuals—to interfere with or
obstruct a lawful function of a government agency during the campaign or
transition period. And, as discussed in Volume I, Section V.A, supra, the
investigation did not identify evidence that any Campaign official or associate
knowingly and intentionally participated in the conspiracy to defraud that the
Office charged, namely, the active-measures conspiracy described in Volume I,
Section II, supra."

"The investigation did not, however, yield evidence sufficient to sustain any
charge that any individual affiliated with the Trump Campaign acted as an
agent of a foreign principal within the meaning of FARA or, in terms of Section
951, subject to the direction or control of the government of Russia, or any
official thereof. In particular, the Office did not find evidence likely to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Campaign officials such as Paul Manafort,
George Papadopoulos, and Carter Page acted as agents of the Russian
government—or at its direction, control, or request during the relevant time
period."

> but several associates were convicted for their dealings with Russia related to the election and investigation:

No Trump associates or campaign personnel were convicted for their dealings with Russia relating to the election.

I managed to install Arch on extremely non-standard hardware while in uni a few years ago, and have never looked back. The Arch community were extremely helpful and kind during that process. Every interaction I have ever had with them has been positive. This interaction strikes me as someone being angered by an obvious attempt at infiltration by another individual (who cares nothing for the community values and only wants things to be vaguely "inclusive")and lashing out aggressively.

Arch doesn't want things inclusive, it wants things done its way. There is nothing wrong with that, Gatekeeping is not a negative term, it's how communities stay internally consistent. Gatekeeping is a community's immune system, and communities who don't do it get sick and die.

>Sorry other Arch users, like it or not, you’ll have to support Manjaro users.

And we do, by providing the wiki. No we are not going to troubleshoot your different distro on our forums, but most issues on Manjaro can be solved by a quick glance at the relevant wiki page. No one will even know you're using Manjaro AND you will have the satisfaction of solving it yourself. Or just use the Manjaro forums. This is an intended workflow, as the Arch wiki links to the Gentoo wiki in the Cron page, since the Gentoo community wrote such a comprehensive guide. That's not Gentoo "supporting Arch users" that's the Arch community acknowledging when really good work has been done, and not duplicating it unnecessarily.

> (Beeminder is primarily based on API integrations)

This strikes me as a significant mischaracterization of Beeminder. I've used Beeminder for 5+ years[0] and I've never used an API integration — Beeminder supports manually entering data for any goal. (And basically none of my goals have been digital; I'm not sure where you got the impression that Beeminder exclusively targets digital goals).

You probably didn't realize, but EIKE is a right-wing climate change denier "think tank", falsely claiming that antrophogenic climate change does not exist[1]. Their claims are widely discredited and considered pseudoscience[2][3].

The linked article is an alarmist piece about the alleged risks of renewables and does not quote any reliable sources. I couldn't find any independent claim that anything unusual or alarming happened on August 14. Load shedding is a normal procedure and almost certainly didn't cause "a lot of damage" - it's industrial customers buying electricity at a discount in exchange for disconnecting from the grid when needed. This is only done for industrial processes that can be safely interrupted (like aluminium processing plants).

If anything, it shows that the mechanism works as intended. There wasn't any notable frequency deviation on Aug 14 in the European grid. All the graphs look normal - there was a ~15 GW deficit in Germany which was compensated[4], well within normal operating parameters.

In spite of the increasing complexity of managing the power grid due to renewables (a real problem which requires significant investments to solve), the German power grid is more reliable than ever[5].

It has the added benefit of generating tax revenue and incentivizing the government to protect copyrights both domestically and internationally.
This exactly. I like comparing the absolute bottom denominator. I would never want to find myself in a US prison. They appear to be some of the worst in the 'developed' world.

I would easily choose a US prison over a North Korean prison, and one could even make a decent case of time in a US prison vs time as an average peasant in North Korea.

My advice to you is to enroll in the All of US cohort by the NIH. You get blood drawn at a hospital and donate your DNA to research. Eventually they will screen it for known risks.

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nihs-all-us-re...

Make sure to read fine print. Most companies are selling a copy of your DNA to pharma, which is how they keep cost approachable.

Also, most risk scores are for northwest europeans.

There can be many reasons for that and most have nothing to do with life choices or "mental models" whatever that means.

* Trauma triggers and unprocessed/unconscious trauma. You'd be surprised how common this is. People who grew up in neglectful or abusive homes tend to believe there's something wrong with them and that their childhood was fine. So when life feels like shit, like there's no point, and it's only suffering every day, that somehow other people manage and they don't, they see no light at the end of the tunnel. It must be their fault, and for some reason they can't "get over it" or "Let it go".

* A person repressing stuff, which at some point reaches breaking point or saturation.

* Combination of (unlucky) factors - e.g. winter/less sun, less people around for some reason, had to sacrifice exercise for extra work, (...).

* Chemicals in the brain indeed, change from one day to another. And maybe the day they feel depressed is when they are seeing things more realistically and crash with that realization.

I don't buy this idea that it's part of the human condition that we're bound to have depression sometimes and that it's chemical imbalance. If we look at human history of psychiatry you'll see how coldly we've been treating patients. You'd be horrified at how we treated mentally ill people in the past. Why would you think we're doing any different now, just in a more mODeRn way - "They're sad because their brain is wrong. Give them a pill."
It was the new way of thinking. Concrete buildings were modern, old stuff was just old stuff. There was no real insight in what highways would mean, it was all new. In Zwolle similar stuff happened. They tore down an old church for a square concrete building (V & D) and there were plans to have the highway run through the historic centre, which was seen as good for the shops. Luckily that highway was diverted to 100m next to the historic centre. That mayor is now known as the "sloopburgemeester" or "tear down mayor".

It is hard to predict the future, but luckily there is now more thought put into which buildings to preserve. But even then I wonder what whill happen to the ugly buildings of the 1960s, will they all be torn apart, or are there some that we already can see as valuable.
I said PATHs, not PATH. There are at least four I use on a regular basis.

Super not interested in a pedantic debate. It’s easy to armchair analyze. I found flaws in 55 codebases at Matasao, and yours is no exception.

e makes it super annoying to pass a variable number of args to a script, since shift will fail and cause an exit.

I do usually turn it on after, but you seem like the type to fail a code review if a script doesn’t start with it. I don’t think that’s a productive attitude.
If even the author cannot value the product, even after the initial 10 years, the it should fall to public domain.
Hmmm, now that you mention it:

Yes, we have a number of doctors, lawyers, a number of farmers including many active ones, pilots, lots of programmers, sysadmins, a few kids (I think) and from time to time some homeless here on HN but I cannot remember a single person admitting they are a dentist.
I'm actually cautiously optimistic for once, the MP ("Greens") rage-quit out of the administration opened up for S to skip the MP imposed blockade of the long-term storage decision. If that finally gets done it at least removes some uncertainty if any company wants to start making plans for a new plant (Yes, it's almost idealistically hopeful but the blockade did impose a lot of uncertainty).
or perhaps you meant how they (sport betting sites) find what i am doing, well not sure i assume once you make some decent money its not relevant how you did it, they just wont allow it further..

Yeah but you don't need to go through a web worker to use any other database product. Seems like with absurd you'd have to create a separate worker for each query and write your CRUD stuff in a potentially clunky, asynchronous style by passing messages to/from those workers. Sounds painful to me.

The Tetris Company doesn't have any rights to the game, as Tetris isn't patented. They tend to claim they have "trade dress" rights, but the elements they claim as such in the Tetris Holding, LLC v. Xio Interactive[1] case aren't actually protectable.
They're all either technical elements of the game (like the movement of the pieces, or the shape of the board), or visual elements of the game that do not have any recognizability (as in, if you removed them, people will still recognize it as Tetris, like the colors of the pieces). In the end, the only thing that makes people recognize Tetris as such, is the shape of the pieces, potentially the fact they fall down. Those are all technical elements, so they can't fall under trade dress.
Trade dress is meant to protect things like the design of Coca-Cola bottles (curvy bottle, red label, white text), where said design language is very meaningful (you recognize the Coca-Cola section from far away just by the design), non-technical (any other bottle would work equally well, the product stays the exact same), and confusing if copied (if you picked one up but it turned out to be Pepsi, you would be well confused). Trade dress is not meant to act as a stand-in for a patent.
Sadly, DMCA is very anti-developer in this regard. A small developer who relies on a publisher (like Steam, or the App Store) to publish and monetize their game, can have their game taken down in minutes with a (fraudulent!) DMCA claim, with no real way to appeal. If you do try to appeal, like in said Xio case, you won't actually have any money to deal with the following court case (which TTC will happily stretch as far as possible to bleed you dry), since while you are under DMCA claim, you have no audience, and no way to monetize. Due to that, you will have to pretty much withdraw from the case, which is what happened in this case. Had there been enough pushback from Xio Interactive in this case (which, would cost them a LOT of money), they could have won. It's a very skewed system.

To prevent this, TETR.IO is self-published (not on Steam, etc.) and has many pillars it stands on. This makes it nigh-impossible to take down with a simple DMCA request. To take down TETR.IO, you would need to start a court case. And then, the developer can keep their game up in the meantime, as then, the game is innocent until proven guilty, instead.
The Tetris Company has not sent any legal message to TETR.IO, and I personally doubt they ever will. It's important to remember that if TTC loses such a case, they would go out of business. The only business TTC has is selling their (snakeoil) Tetris License. Such a license would become nearly worthless if it was proven the trade dress isn't real.
So, they would probably rather just keep an eye on me. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd rather sell a license to me, as that would be far, far less risky for them, unlike sending an email to Steam.
