First, you don't know if they were married, of what their vows were.

Second, you have no idea what they've gone through, no understanding of their pain. If you have nothing constructive to say, no empathy, just shut up.
I guess the problem is two fold, could I charge some people a premium for premium information? Absolutely, yes.

Does hiding some information behind a paywall fit with my goal of a better review landscape in the web hosting industry? Sadly, no.

Sure, I would come out financially ahead, but the industry basically wouldn't be any different. I'm not going to rank any better or have my information spread more effectively behind a paywall. The number of folks impacted would also surely go down as many wouldn't pay.

If the goal is simply profit maximization at this point, there are definitely avenues to explore like what you've suggested. That's boring to me honestly, unless it can have impact to along with it. I do appreciate your thoughts on the matter and suggestions.

Personally, if it gets to that point I'd rather sell it off and move on to working on something else. Most of us are software developers and entrepreneurs. I'd rather build something more interesting and with more potential. I can make money doing consulting work any day, after 10 years, the allure of simply trying to profit maximize on what I built by introducing barriers doesn't appeal. That might be part of the reason it hasn't been as successful as it maybe could have been. I suppose that's the hill I may die on - open, honest, transparent review data for everyone.
Listening is everything. Turn off the problem solver part of your brain and just experience their emotions and listen. Ask questions based on what they have said, try not to assume or think 2 steps ahead.

Going through different medications with your partner is rough too. The side effects suck, and some medicine doesnt help or makes things worse. Trintellix helped my partner, after 2 or 3 others failed medications. Those were a tough few months.

My recent 2 cents for partners, try taking a personality test on behalf of your partner. The results, may give you some better understanding of them... Especially if they are reserved and unwilling to open up and whatnot.

I've done this recently and I'm quite surprised by the accuracy of a lot of the content that I read about different personality types. For some in my family, reading descriptions of their personalities has been comically accurate. Maybe reading about their personalities just helps me to think more objectively and clearly about their own emotions, rather than getting it all mixed up in my own emotions.

You can search like "INTJ unhappiness" and read up on their perspective.

Maybe this all sounds dumb to you, but just give it at shot. At the least it'll be kind of fun to take the test on their behalf and see what the results are like.

I start feeling the same way after a week of vacation. It might be due to a lack of a routine? Or maybe my lack of a routine ends up turning boredom into a routine itself.

Wake up, watch TV, scroll through HN/Reddit/Twitter, eat, sleep, repeat. There are literally zero stressors motivating me to do more. The things I already do don't feel as rewarding because I didn't have to go through any hurdles to get them.

I don't know what the right solution is, but creating artificial stressors (isn't that what we're all doing anyway?) has helped me stay sane. One way I do this is by diving deep into questions which I really want the answer to: Who invented X? Why did the Roman Empire fall? What made Islam or Christianity so popular? What is Web 3.0? My mind immediately gets excited as I start scouring the web for answers or even reaching out to a friend who might know more. No longer bored and better informed.

I suspect hobbies and conversations stimulate a similar effect.
In my experience, big and important rewrites only can happen after someone has been maintaining a code base a long time and they can spend many months or years mulling over simplifying architectural changes not just for change. Often for company software at least I was frustrated with the pace that they shuffle you around projects.
Signed in to say this. I built a shed in my backyard as one of my first DIY projects and also used screws. Not even structural screws, just standard 3” construction screws. The thing is solid. No one is walking around on it. It isn’t under the same stresses as a two story house. Like you said, it’s a box!

I did my research, understood that nails provide better strength. I chose screws. So do many other shed builders.
That's a great way of putting things with your explanations.

Not op, but I lived with a bipolar patient and had a relative who was schizoaffective, bipolar subtype. It's pretty common for bipolar patients to be misdiagnosed as having depression because mania or hypomania "feels good" and they don't seek treatment until they crash into a depressive episode. Or sometimes the mania just emerges later in life, as the course of the illness can vary and develop over the years, so maybe in the earlier phase it is more mistakable for unipolar depression. Lastly, antidepressants can trigger a manic episode in bipolar patients.

SeaTunnel, a high-performance distributed data integration platform
You cannot compare a DOS COM program to an ELF binary, though.

The ELF header alone is 64 bytes while COM files have no header and can fit more than a Hello World program into 64 bytes (uncompressed):

mov ah,9
mov dx,108
int 21
ret
db "Hello world!$"

Using just debug.com (on DOS) this results in a 21 byte COM executable that prints "Hello world!" to the console. This simply isn't possible with formats like ELF, no matter what the linker does.

Since DOS also allows direct access to video memory, just switching to VGA mode (320x200, 8-bit colours, e.g. using mov ax,13h; int 10h) will allow you to create fancy graphics with just a few bytes. In fact, I can get a colour pattern on the screen, wait for a key press, and return to text mode in just 45 bytes (for use with debug.com):

a 100
mov ax,13
int 10
mov ax,a000
mov es,ax
xor di,di
xor ax,ax
mov cx,fa00
mov es:[di],al
inc ax
inc di
dec cx
jnz 111
mov ax,0600
mov dx,ff
int 21
jz 119
mov ax,3
int 10
mov ax,4c00
int 21

n vgademo.com
rbx
0
rcx
2D
w
q

This should work on any DOS machine and in DOSBox (I used VDos to create the COM file since I don't have a DOS assembler installed, and debug.com is included in vDOS) and is smaller than just an ELF header :D

In my experience, "no solution at all" is already the default. When people choke on questions it is because they get stuck trying to guess at what you want, and panic thinking it must be some clever trick they don't recognize. Becasue we've all seen a million tricks and forgotten most of them.

If you're happy with just getting it done quick and dirty, at least as a start, then telling them so is obviously better than not doing so. Beyond that, anything more about what you want will help trigger their thinking in terms of the right approach. Unless of course you really are looking for some clever trick (and I have certainly seen those annoying questions).

This looks like an interesting idea, especially on top of JUL which sucks a bit (but is a standard now). One thing I would recommend is benchmarking on the front page. This looks like something that has some overhead. e.g. the list syntax. I suggest doing several overhead benchmarks to quantify the overhead/saving with various VMs/logging configurations.

I bought this back in ~2019. A very good book, kind of like the old cookbooks, but with more background.
People are working at making data centers more energy efficient rather than less.

https://www.energy.gov/eere/femp/energy-efficiency-data-cent...

https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/opinions/green-data-ce...

From the later article:

> What we do know is this: if the latest efficiency improvements in data center hardware and infrastructure continues apace, it should be possible to accommodate a 60 percent increase in demand for both traditional and hyperscale data center services over the next 12 months, without an accompanying increase in the energy they consume. But in order to achieve this feat, it is imperative that data center operators follow energy-efficient design principles.

https://www.comsoc.org/publications/tcn/2019-nov/energy-effi...

> The report by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has an encouraging conclusion. It states that improved energy is almost canceling out growing capacity. In 2014, data centers in the United States consumed 70 billion kilowatt hours. If energy efficiency levels remained as they were in 2010, the energy consumption by data centers today would be 160 billion kilowatt hours. The surprising reality is that the estimate for 2020 is only 73 billion kilowatt hours.

---

Data center power consumption is a big topic, and a lot of people are talking about it and working on improving its energy efficiency.
Just before my marriage, I knew my wife had depression. Now we have been together for more than 12 years.

She has never recovered from depression thoroughly, so I have accepted this is a lifelong situation. I agree with the point "when they talk, listen." Because in my experience, the talk will become an argument finally. And that will hurt everyone in this family. So let's listen.

My sincere advice is to think twice when you love someone with depression. It will be very hard.

1. As the partner, you will be in a dilemma. You can not force them to see the doctors or take the medicines, as it's irrespective. And you are not willing to do nothing, you want to help.
2. Sometimes it's a competition. Either you will help your partner out or your partner will destroy you. You might feel the only one you can help is yourself.

So think twice. If you still decide to move on, you need to find out a way to take care of yourself. So that you can stay on this hard journey.
It is not a code change per-se as much as a change to how the files are built.

Think of it like changing the order around of how you cook a fine meal and putting a few tricks all senior chefs know into the recipe explicitly. No ingredients were added or removed, do poison doesn’t get accidentally added.
Glad to see this, as someone who has almost only been with people with depression, this article was a very aggressive "You're not doing enough, you're doing it wrong, you're not trying hard enough, you should be doing better" which is hypocritical. The post did not come from a place of compassion or support, but entitlement. This article doesn't understand how hard it is to listen to hours, days, months, years of a person you care about constantly speaking of ending their life. "Just Listen" may be good advice for the first 50 hours or so, but after that is absolutely not a productive suggestion.

All of those with depression who I have been with do a combination of:

- Sleep small amounts of absurd hours

- Eat junk foods

- Spend all their time on video games, YouTube, TV shows, social media

- No exercise

- Take substances such as caffeine or other recreational drugs

And it is indeed coddling that has gotten them to this point. The general response may be "It is so easy for you to say and do", but it really isn't easy for anyone.

With an increase in people who either identify as or are diagnosed with depression, they have continued to claw at other aspects to blame, and it's now shifting to blaming "loved ones" for "failing" them.

For anyone who wants to see this data without running the numbers themselves, the CDC has a dashboard showing total weekly deaths per week over the last several years, the trend line, and the obvious significant increases over the last couple years. They update it weekly, but it takes a couple weeks for the data to become accurate (the recent weeks have always been an undercount while reporting catches up).

For interpretation, the orange line is average expected deaths for that week, and you'd expect weekly deaths to cluster around that. Red is the "upper bound threshold", ie deaths over this are way out of the norm.

You can also switch the dashboard to "Excess deaths with and without COVID-19", which shows the same bar chart but with reported covid deaths stacked on top of non-covid reported deaths. It makes it clear that (1) excess deaths line up very well with reported deaths and (2) the US has done an overall good job of reporting covid deaths, outside of some probable undercounting at the very start.

> And it needs to somehow compete with the rest of the world, gone are the days that you are sat in front of a disconnected computer with not much else to do but experiment and learn - it can't wait to be discovered it needs to drag people away from consuming and actively attract them to creating.

This is a good point. Back in the 80s, learning on a BBC Micro for me was a lucky confluence of geek, machine, and time period.

Maybe the "geek" part is the most important part.

I loved the BBC Micro and am grateful to have had the opportunity then, but to be honest, I'd probably have discovered computers some other way anyway, and my life might not have been that different. It's probably similar for today's kids--- if they're programmer types, then they can use today's tools and get the same thing out of it. Maybe this particular dream is indeed accessible only to the geeks?

Isn't this also a problem if the person managing the email list goes rogue? You have to trust someone to host the infrastructure.

Because Email may not be the optimal user interface for handling issues, pull requests, code review, etc.
Where I live (Portland, Oregon) the rules for sheds are actually pretty generous. It can be something like 10 feet high, 200 square feet or less, and I don't think requires any setback, so the shed in the article might comply with similar rules depending on where they are.
Where does this sentiment come from that Linux has come very far when it comes to gaming? When Doom 3 released in 2004 I had to use a hex editor to hand patch the executable to get sound working. Luckily someone did what OP did and posted the instructions on a forum. I've used Linux/Unix for 20+ years but I wouldn't recommend it for gaming unless you enjoy debugging Linux software and want to do more of it. Frankly, you can learn a ton by doing so, it's not a waste of time, but priorities and frustration tolerances change as people get older. Then the demographic that no longer wants to debug their games tends to also be the cohort that has more money and is more willing to spend for a better experience, which means more money is being allocated to the platforms they are on as opposed to Linux.
These unpublished German numbers seem way off, you usually measure CO2eq and not CO2 maybe that explains it? CO2eq takes "all" greenhouse gas polution into account. It's not Germany, but here is some data for nuclear energy from Vattenfall (the operator) in Sweden. [0]
The LCA assessment is done according to the ISO 14025 standard. It's about 3g CO2eq per kWh. From the PDF: "The whole lifecycle of nuclear power has been inventoried hence the full path from mining of natural uranium through production of uranium fuel and generation of electricity at the nuclear power plant to final repository of the spent fuel is included "
[0] https://www.environdec.com/library/epd923

On second thought gCO2/kWh instead of gCO2eq/kWh can't be the explanation since gCO2eq=gCO2+the other gases equivalent.
Why not using unix timestamp though? Is it cause they're MS?
Right.

A hypothetical honest reviewer would genuinely be recommending products to buy, and if affiliate links pay, then why not?

I chime with this sentiment. The biggest issue in non-fiction books that I have is this - lack of a progress indicator. If it's a biography or an autobiography for example - I intuitively know the progress and this builds some sort of a curiosity to complete the book. In fiction, this is simulated by the story telling. You are almost always eager to find out what next.

In non fiction however, the lack of progress indicator combined with fillers totally takes away the what next phenomenon. On top of this, most non-fiction books try to convey the core of the meaning in repetitive language. Probably there is some science to this. The more you find repeated words sprinkled across, the more they tend to stick in your head. Apparently something that advertisers and marketers use all the time. So may be that's what drives this repetition and filler materials. I've seen this pattern in quite a few non-fiction books. Hooked, Deep Work, Grit etc.

Which is why I think, it's incredibly hard to pick a reading habit if you start with non fiction books. Also I don't think developing a reading habit with fiction will lead to a non fiction reading habit. Personal anecdote, I used to devour fiction as a teenager and in my early 20s. I remember reading Partner by John Grisham in one sitting, without even getting up to eat. Now I can hardly muster the energy to finish a book. I mean, I can but it's no longer that easy.

Really cool. A potential use I can see for this is to help people go from raw data to visuals really quickly. I'm guessing that's the intended use.

You said something that I have experienced as well:

> I don’t think my problems are ever going away. It’s been years, and every aspect of my life is way better than when this all started. Except my mental health. I still feel just as shitty as I did 6 years ago.

I became very aware that my mental health was in very bad shape about 6 years ago. Ever since then I have been on a journey to try and understand why, because, as you stated, every aspect of my life (for the most part), expect my mental health, was better than when I became very aware of the problems.

I don't know if this will apply to you, but, on the chance that it does or that it applies to someone else, I wanted to share some articles and videos that helped me better understand what I have been going through:

1. http://www.ocdspecialists.com/real-event-ocd/

2. That same website has a handful of other articles I found helpful: http://www.ocdspecialists.com/blog/

3. Therapist Answers: "What is Congruent Depression?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDhqTf5eJH4

Take care everyone.
Sometimes I search a big chunk of lyrics from some fairly popular song that I hear in several radio stations and cannot find it... This wasn't the case a few years ago.
You are right to some extent.

Except in very specific context, shaving bytes is pointless, and a few kilobytes are barely relevant.

But in the real world we're often talking about several orders of magnitude differences.

I would still accept a Hello World that is around 100Kbytes, but not an order of magnitude more.

And I am talking about statically linked app, this is an other subject but I tend to think that dynamically linking is way overused and rarely justified.
> Out of interest, how does this work? In my ignorance, I'd have imagined a number of different chemicals with similar properties DMT that would also dissolve in the naptha.

Sure, that's right. The extraction step ... converting alkaloid salts to free base, mobilizing to nonpolar fracton... would indeed give you a mix of chemicals; DMT is not unique in its electrical properties in this regard.

The following step (crystallization) dramatically bumps up the purity of your sample.
There are two points that I've made a couple times that are perhaps getting lost:

1. It's about blocking your logic flow, not about how the system is actually executing it or what the machine code resolves to. If a subsequent call is blocked on a previous one, then it's blocking. Spawning an async function or creating a new thread etc can be blocking, whereas what runs on it isn't (for your current thread).

2. Being blocking or not is independent of performance. A blocking function call can be near instant, it may get inlined, it may take a year to run. Similarly an async or non blocking call can also have the same time complexity. The issue is that if the spec doesn't say it returns instantly, or you don't know for sure that it does, you can't guarantee that the blocking time will be short enough to be acceptable. So while getpid or close will almost always return instantly, it's still blocking. And if the spec doesn't say it's guaranteed, then the performance acceptability in the hot path can change.

End of the day it's all just (often pedantic) semantics to let people describe the execution nature of things so devs can make the best decisions for their performance needs.
