That feeling inadequate at times is a "syndrome" makes a normal human behavior into something pathological. There's nothing wrong with you. There's no mental illness here.

It does raise the second question though: why are you pushing yourself to be something you seem to not enjoy at all?

This sounds pretty miserable. Are you sure these are the right roles for you to target?

There are all kinds of wild assertions dismissing semantics in describing links that the author seems to just hand wave away. I went back specifically to read the part about parent semantics and the conclusion is that this can be derived from links’ text, without acknowledging that that’s not how link text is typically used. Those kinds of relationships are usually encoded in additional semantic markup or data the links are derived from.

This is an interesting attempt to reduce a problem space, but ultimately I think it ignores a lot of factors either in play where they see success or likely to cause it to falter should such reductionism be pursued. And in evidence is another major use case cited: attempts to replace hierarchical file structures have not been successful, because those hierarchies are meaningful for people who use them. This isn’t for lack of trying! Even the accompanying screenshot shows the detritus of that effort, just noise in the sidebar.
> Calling that R&D is disingenuous. You can learn valuable things on your way to making stupidity, of course, but that's not R&D.

I don’t necessarily disagree with your take,
but for tax accounting, a lot of “stupid” programming counts as R&D.

But more importantly, stupidity is in the eye of the beholder or hindsight, or both.

e.g. I would have called a streaming service for gamers to be watched by adoring fans utter stupidity. Maybe that’s also why I’m not rich.
Yes, and investors of those companies expect constant growth. Bond yields are no where near good enough for these investors. Case in point, P&G and J&J stocks have yielded about 500% and 300% in value respectively since 2000. It’s even higher if you go back further.

Like it or not, that is reality. Ie if people want lower yields, they invest in different industries, companies, or financial instruments.
2000 seems really low. Do you happen to have a source for it?
Try exercising.

> In MDD, larger effects were found for moderate intensity, aerobic exercise, and interventions supervised by exercise professionals. Exercise has a large and significant antidepressant effect in people with depression (including MDD). Previous meta-analyses may have underestimated the benefits of exercise due to publication bias. Our data strongly support the claim that exercise is an evidence-based treatment for depression. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26978184/
> However, I do believe pretty deeply that every app has the potential to be much more powerful if it leverages the internet and I think the terminal is not an exception.

But that’s exactly it. A lot of people on here, including me, do not agree that _every_ app has that potential. In fact many believe that internet connected apps are unnecessary for many things. There is strong evidence against this if you just look at the number of “secure” systems that have been hacked over the decades. While you may capture a large audience with your internet-first terminal “app”, who honestly don’t care about this stuff while at work, you will get pushback from HN and somewhat+ privacy concerned devs.

Perhaps it's changed in the last couple of years, but Plex made the process of not letting it call home extremely difficult, and defaulted to new garbage being turned on as they added new garbage, and re-enabling garbage that they made big changes to.

After multiple internet issues resulted in me not having access to my local Plex server and not being able to fix that, I decided to drop it. Maybe tons of backlash prompted them to fix this? I don't care, I'm a happy Jellyfin user now.

> buy then pirate

I used to do this.

I stopped because too much of a % of what I pay goes to various forms of overhead (distributors/apple/amazon/studio/production company/etc/etc) vs what is going to the actual creatives involved.

I take the money I would have spent instead on streaming services and donate it via patreon to a few creators I enjoy, mostly youtube channels.

Legally? I know I'm doing something completely illegal (but so is buy-then-pirate!)

Morally? I'll live. I don't think what I'm doing is wrong.

I still buy when I know (enough of) the money is going to the people who actually created the content and not some MBAs.
Same reason I bought a bunch of MREs and peanut butter when the pandemic started — I wanted to give myself the feeling that I was in control of my life.
Emeralds from a mine in Zambia, a country that had similar apartheid laws stemming from the fact that they were ruled by the same Britain that ruled South Africa, isn't exactly lying. The OP's details were just a bit fuzzy.

The Musks lived in the biggest house in the richest neighborhood of segregated Pretoria, and Elon was able to avoid the draft from the same apartheid South African military that his father engineered for.

You'd definitely need to have a certain amount of privilege to do that, and to leave adolescence with anecdotes about selling pocketfuls of your dad's emeralds, like this[1]:

> A teenage Elon Musk once walked the streets of New York with emeralds in his pocket. His father, Errol Musk, had a casual attitude towards the family’s considerable wealth, including the stones that came from the Zambian emerald mine in which Errol owned a half share. Elon, by his father’s recollection then probably 16 years old, and his brother Kimbal, decided to sell emeralds to Tiffany & Co. on Fifth Avenue in New York – one of the world's most famous jewellers – as his father lay sleeping. "They just walked into Tiffany’s and said, ‘Do you want to buy some emeralds?’

If you get a good impression done, custom molds are superior to anything for a few reasons.

They fit your ear perfectly and block everything out. That's why most of the really popular touring musicians go custom-molded, usually with UE, Westone, or Jerry Harvey.

They are also VERY comfortable when molded properly. It's like a glove for your ears. You won't feel anything like it with silicone or foam. I can wear my custom plugs all night or for an entire concert, easy. Foam itches after 30 minutes.

Also, foam muddies audio by sacrificing some high end and bloating mids/low-end. If you care about audio reproduction, foam is usually a sacrifice for IEMs, and you usually have to EQ your gear to get the losses back.

The impressions have to be really good, though, and the turnaround time from the vendor needs to be fast. Custom molds are terrible when they don't fit right. I hate the turnaround time; waiting is the worst part. Ear impressioning is still kind-of stone age, IMO. The audiologist stuffs your ear with a curing paste, and you can't move for the five minutes it takes to cure. However, some people have really flexible ear canals that cause earplugs to lose their seal when you chew or smile, so you might need to do a block-bite impression to account for that. Moving your head at all can invalidate the entire impression. It's annoying. I wish audiologists did an impression panel so that manufacturers could send a sample of buds and have you trial them all within a return period (or charge you if you really want to keep them all). Oh well; a man can dream.

For most people, custom mold earbuds for music listening is way unnecessary, especially with IEMs getting incredibly good at noise cancelling. If you hate foam plugs or just want a set of buds that are really yours, custom is your only route though.

However, I will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS recommend custom earplugs for sleep and for loud environments, like hunting or concerts. They last forever, are super comfortable, and can make a loud environment tolerable (i.e. if your partner snores) and actually better-sounding, all while preserving your hearing (which from what I've heard SUCKS to lose).

This is the biggest issue - many small businesses are small margin businesses. Force a shutdown for a month or two and you've wiped out profit for an entire year.

Not surprising in the least that after two years of uncertainty, business owners just hung up their hat and decided to do something else.
Also same reason when a large institutional investor picks up a large number of shares of your favourite growth stock and the price pops. It signals to the market that there is confidence in that company.
I'm confused. I downloaded UE5. Created starter fpp project. Built it and ran it as standalone onn dx12. Switched to fullscreen, showed fps counter (120fps on 120hz oled tv) but the "game" doesn't feel like 120fps. It feels like at most 60. And before I turned off motion blur it was really smudgy and after I turned if it's really choppy.

Do you have further recommendations on brands for both custom sleep earplugs and IEM’s? I have a pretty significant case of TMJ and no bespoke in-ear audio product will ever fit me perfectly because one canal is pretty different than the other.

Worldcoin Promised Free Crypto If They Scanned Their Eyeballs with “The Orb”
Some of the most depressing experiences I have had was to look for a therapist when I was really depressed. I went to several and never felt that they understood me or even cared about what I was thinking. I honestly think they made me worse.

I have learned way more useful info on online forums from people who were going through the same experience. Yes you have to be discerning but the advice “go to a professional” is thoughtless. There are a lot of incompetent people working in mental health. I am sure it’s easier if you have tons of money or just lucky to run into a good therapist. But already being down and then being disappointed by the professionals is devastating. At least it was for me.
Anyone else feel like this is just a giant publicity stunt with Elon Musk?
Medication helped me and probably saved my life.

I’ll put it this way: You’re already miserable, you don’t have much to lose.

People have horror stories and people have success stories it’s true, but even some of the people I’ve known with horror stories still found the end result to be positive/worthwhile.

Nothing is going to change if you do nothing and you’ll stay miserable. Alternatively you can do something and you may just improve your life.

I was at a colossal low point when I finally began to receive the mental healthcare I needed. It was worth it even though it took time to get the right medications for me.

Maybe you still feel like you have something more to lose than gain but I didn’t.

Actually you do not need nuclear for this. The problem is not nuclear here but to that Germany messed up setting up a fiscal mechanism trying to boost renewables (by introducing the so called EEG Umlage). The problem is that electricity (even green) was more expensive than it needs to be (particularly compared to gas) and the incentives were fading to invest into renewables. Nuclear power is no option in German simply because we could not reach any national consensus about the waste which would be a prerequisite.

I didn't say that the author didn't much too much or too little energy into the exchange, but I do firmly believe they chose to continue with those people out of a misplaced need to prove that they could talk to strangers. Those are exactly the kinds of people who fall victim to these tricks.

As someone who used to work in financial services and has interacted with many of these kinds of people before, it struck me as odd that at the beginning of the story, the author doesn't even list "they want me to give them money" as a possible reason for the approach, even though that's the single most common reason strangers approach folks like this. He really thought that these strangers might want to have sex though? Ok.

The whole piece has a really naive tone to it, trying to intellectualize people that were most likely just trying to bilk the author out of money, which the author isn't even convinced of at the end.

> So why did they do it? Maybe they were totally cynical, and just thought I looked like a gullible fish they could exploit for money. But I doubt it.

> Most likely, they thought they were doing something good. (For me? For their organization? For the world?) How is it possible to convince yourself that being this manipulative and this misleading is a good thing? It makes me re-evaluate what people are capable of.

It took one set of interactions with cult/scam/whatever kind of recruiters these were to make the author re-evaluate what people are capable of? Really? We've lived through decades of senseless war, a declining standard of living and a future that feels less and less certain by the day, but this is what wakes the author up? That sounds like a pretty sheltered life to me.
PNPM’s primary feature, even if it gets lost in all the optimization, is make it work, make it right. With an emphasis on the former serving the latter as the goal. FS links are an implementation detail. The thing it gets right is resolving only the dependencies you specify, unless you very clearly say otherwise. The way it does so just also happens to be efficient. If it’s confusing any other tools, they’re doing something wrong too. Links aren’t some wild new concept.
That's an interesting price analysis!

The conclusion I draw from this is that Xanadu is quite a different usage model than the web. The first webpage I remember reading (over dial-up connection to university server) was physics experiments for beginners. The first webpage I made (in the end of 1990's) was to publish plays from the drama club. Those would be be totally infeasible under "every published document must earn money" model.

I wonder if Xanadu could ever get completed, who would have used it? It will be probably be a Serious Place full of Professional Authors writing Real Books.

I honestly have no idea because I haven't done (nor do I plan to do as I don't live in California anymore) enough research to have an informed opinion on the topic.

However, I think it is generally valid to say that if you are explicitly trying to address how a system (CA math education) is failing a certain group of people (black students), it would be useful to consult with members of that group or people who work closely with members of that group.

Again, I'm not taking a strong stance here and I'm sure there could hypothetically be some world where this may not be true and the X truly most qualified people to tackle this issue are all not Black. But even from a completely cynical, practical standpoint you can see how the optics look bad when the state of California admits to failing its Black students yet tasks a committee of professors to solve the issue without any representation from the groups it has failed.
There are risks with taking any medication, so your concerns have merit. I take medications for depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I consider myself very lucky to have a very patient and supportive doctor. As I come on and off medications, we always talk about the risks and potential benefits. The choice that I have to make for myself is if the benefits outweigh the risks.

Another thing to consider is that while medications can improve your quality of life, they're only part of the solution. I see a therapist weekly and a coach for ADHD on and off throughout the year. I have to exercise regularly or else my anxiety and depression become unbearable. It's hard work, but I know that consequences of not doing those things are far worse. In my case, my medications don't solve my depression and anxiety. What they do is bring me up enough that I can keep moving forward and keep improving, with the hope that one day I will untangle the mess of emotions and I may not need them anymore.

You mentioned that you've tried therapy. Did you stop because you felt better or because you didn't have a good rapport with your therapist? This is just my experience, but it took 2-3 years before my therapist and I were able to tear down all of the defenses I put up for decades. I'm at year 7 and I'm finally starting to push through some of my own behaviors and stories I tell myself to make progress and take back control of parts of my life I thought I had no control over.

I can't tell you what you should do. What I will say with absolutely certainty is that it is not weakness to want help. It is not weak to want to live a productive life. I would talk to your doctor about what you're experiencing to have another opinion about your situation. Medication for some people is the complete answer, but that's not always the case. I would strongly encourage you to find a therapist that you have a good rapport with and stay with them. Once again, at least in my case, the medications balanced me enough to deal with my mental health issues. Dealing with depression takes a lot of time and energy, but now I know the issues I'm really fighting, I don't feel helpless anymore. Take care of yourself. You are worthy of having a good life.

It’s not surprising that it is online again. For one, it is still hard to predict infection rates so far out and a new variant could pop up.

Regardless of Covid, Apple has found that it is less stressful on their teams who had to take time off to prepare and attend the events. Developers seem to like the virtual Q&A sessions as they are easier to manage and much less costly than trying to travel to the Bay Area and stay for several days.

I see that they are hosting a smaller live event with press and students and that seems more manageable. That may be a model for a hybrid event in coming years.
I have a friend who's had lifelong depression and had very good results from CBD after a couple of weeks of use. It was someone who hates meds and who I've been trying to get to take antidepressants for decades so it was quite a surprise to see them completely transformed by it.

Personally I've been depressed for as long as I remember and I've had incredible results from (medical) Ketamine. It was pretty much an overnight cure that lasted about 6 months. On the other hand CBD doesn't seem to be doing anything for me.

The thing to understand with heavy depression, and anti-depressants if you haven't taken them before, is that when your depression is chemically treated, it's like a veil is lifted from your mind. You suddenly are lucid, everything is no longer miserable and you didn't realize how truly miserable it was before. I would highly recommend you at least try something if it's been going on for as long as you remember and nothing else works. It's normal to be scared but give yourself a chance. It is transformative in ways you can't imagine.

If you seek medical advice, as would be wise, don't trust a single doctor, seek multiple opinions and take them with a large grain of salt, not as absolutes.

Given that Musk has said himself that his titles don't mean anything[1], and the fact that he chose to give himself the title of Chief Engineer in response to people on Twitter making fun of him, it makes me believe that his self-appointed title as Chief Engineer is about as meaningful as his title of Technoking at Tesla.

Musk isn't an engineer, he has no engineer credentials and isn't licensed to engineer in any country. Moreover, Musk has never engineered anything.

Given the fact that both companies hire hordes of real, licensed and credentialed engineers, says that, yes, the engineers at both companies are responsible for the hard engineering work.

I prefer to stick with actual facts and not feelings or insults. I'm not sure why stating the basic fact that Musk is not an engineer would upset you so much.
