The whole story of Trevor is just heartbreaking to me. I see a lot of my experiences helping someone get proper mental health care in this story, and the fact that between the restrictions that COVID created and how ill-equiped the mental health sector is unless you send someone to a hospital is awful.

From my experience, putting someone in a hospital or other treatment facility is often presented as the only way you can get help for serious conditions, but for most people, the idea of being sent away to a hospital or other facility for an extended period of time can be very damaging, especially in the immediate term. For people who need that level of care, the feeling of being abandoned, or that your friends/family can't deal with you anymore or don't want you around.

You also have the fact that for a lot of people who end up in these facilities, do so because they have been forced in some way, shape or form to be there. Couple that with these places often feeling less like hospitals or places of medicine and treatment, and more like prisons, these environments can make you feel like a criminal or unwanted member of society.

Finally, while I don't want to paint all who work in places like this with the same brush, my experiences have shown me that it is not that uncommon for the doctors and support staff who work in these places to be somewhat uncaring to those in their care. And, while I understand that working in a place like this would obviously have a significant impact on your own mental health and make you jaded, from my experience what a lot of people who end up in these places want more than anything is empathy and compassion.

I'm not saying that we should abolish hospital treatment for mental health, because this kind of treatment in a lot of cases is both necessary and effective. My thoughts here are that for cases like Trevor, there should be some kind of service or help available that provides the right degree of ongoing care without having to upend a persons life in ways that can be damaging.

Every current architecture is a good one, until there's enough support to replace it; it is then, clearly a poor architecture - always has been.

More seriously, creating architectures in a systematic way produces 'good' architectures more often than not. Have a look at the Unified Process[0] for an approach.

Not the OP, but I am personally surprised by many things.

- YouTube's comment system is horrible at dealing with spam
- A tool made by a random person online is able to find and remove so many of these comments, meanwhile YouTube with WAAAAYYYY more resources, data, people, etc... is somehow not
- The fact that the spam problem is so bad that tech YouTubers are seeing tools like this remove around 30% of the comments on their videos is insane.

Overall I barely even look at the comment section on YouTube anymore because of how big of a mess it is. It's refreshing to look at the comments on Linus Tech Tip videos as they are free from most spam due to them making use of this tool. It's super surprising how long this problem has been going on, and just how much it keeps worsening. It just seems crazy how long Google has been letting this problem go unchecked.

Of course you can fight it. But they typically go after those who can't fight it, and if you make it to far they settle so it doesn't go to trial.
Blatant fourth amendment violation.
The fact that most comment threads for this post exist baffels me... it's like... 'lets analyze confrontation and create weird uncanny formulas for what are complex and always spontaneous human interactions' I don't like it at all.
I sort of disagree on two things;

1. Video games, in moderation can be beneficial for focus in much the same way reading a book can. You have to concentrate on a single task for an extended period of time, and lack of concentration is often punished. Obviously playing for 8 hours a day is a problem, but an hour or two here and there is nothing to worry about.

2. I'm a morning person, so getting up early and doing something useful before 8am totally works for me. But a lot of people just can't function that early or don't have the luxury of being able to get up that early (shift workers, for example). I'd suggest instead of targeting 8am specifically, just target the first wakeful hour of your day as the time to get something done by. If that's 8am - great, if that's 6pm - that's cool to.
Lockdowns probably but I fail to see why masks would cause such issues if countries like China and Japan were wearing them relatively often before the pandemic.

From the sound of it (haven't used ChromeOS in ~4 years), "log into" means switching users without powering off the laptop, while "boot into" means to reboot the computer and log in as the other user. For a device that is supposedly built around security, needing to know that the "Switch User" menu shouldn't ever be used to switch the user is something of a footgun.

Well there you go, OpenAI codex has solved your problem: technical help that won't bother warning you when you're about to shoot yourself in the foot, if that's really what you want. :)

> when it's mostly just condescension and or showing off when applied to forum answers.

You might be reading emotion and motivation into text that simple isn't there.

I do wonder if codex improves and asks clarifying questions if you'll attribute condescension to its actions?

> but first answer the question or don't bother participating

Sounds like you might be selfishly confusing other human beings for a coin operated answer vending machine that exists for your personal gratification. Or maybe I'm reading too much into your "just answer or don't participate"? :D

(I don't have any reason to believe it of you-- but I would assume that it's no less true than the windbaggy responders replying that way to show off their skills and mock your lack of them)

In any case... that is the point: If you want a answer vending machine that doesn't care if what you asked for might not be what you want, an actual machine will do a better job of it.

Personally, I'm grateful when someone backs me out of a niche I've reasoned myself into ... and I don't mind having to spend more time on my questions to qualify that I've already tried the obvious. I've probably solved more of my own problems just by stepping back to explain what I'm trying to do and what and then noticing the error on my own, than by any other means.

But even if I did mind-- even if the people responding really were just showing off-- if that's the price of free help it still seems like a good deal. I'd much rather get help from someone with a chance of warning me that my whole approach might be confused, in my view that's 95% of the value of learning from another mind as opposed to mashing buttons until the tests pass.

Overwatch has more mechanics than either of the games you mentioned, if you don't get that then you're not a good enough player to have discovered them, which is fine.

And you failed to comprehend my comment: the player base mostly doesn't want the community part over the immediate feedback of comp.

People don't want clan servers, they want to queue up, win or lose, then queue up again.

After all, nothing stops OW from supporting clans. Unlike say Warzone that needs 40 something people for a private match, OW will let your team play another team with no problem.

But people still overwhelmingly go it alone, because they want that immediate feedback loop of solo queue.
I'm a man and I'm a chronic apologiser, and I think it probably at least partially originates from being physically abused as a child. It's easy to get in a habit of just apologising immediately for any sort of negative reaction so that you (hopefully) don't get severely beaten

I'm working on it and have improved a lot, but I used to do things like apologise to people whenever they expressed any sort of displeasure or discomfort, even if I had absolutely nothing to do with it and they couldn't possibly think I did... I used to regularly apologise to people when they complained about the weather for example.
I'm guessing this is for those "our key contact went on vacation / died / quit years ago" scenarios. Unfortunate that you can't bypass it by acknowledging that risk.
Oh no, there's no way the school system didn't know they were installing monitoring software. It would be fairly reasonable for them to require that in the context of students logging in to access and use school resources (i.e. lessons) and to keep them from just goofing off.

What is not reasonable is the very real possibility that they might have overstepped and made these policies active for all logins on the device, or that they failed to properly disclose what exactly happens when the user uses the domain login. That would then make what's been installed very worthy of the term "spyware" and would probably make both GoGuardian and Google upset with them because it's unnecessarily heavy-handed and pretty much guaranteed to bring bad press.

Part of the reason these things are so locked down is so that management policies can be applied to ONLY the logins that require them without impacting the entire device all the time. If someone tries to sidestep that by grabbing root access and messing with the trusted environment, when the user logs into the managed domain the machine is going to report that its environment has been tampered with and that should pretty immediately bring use of any domain-managed accounts to a halt. You wind up actually jumping through the same hoops (although more discretely and without involving logging/reporting of browser history) when you use your bank's banking app or have Microsoft Teams/Outlook installed on your phone. Both of these things absolutely require their data be kept separate from the rest of the user's data, and very carefully protected from the other apps on the device.
Right. Might open the poster up to libel litigation too, which AFAIK means you'd have to prove the accusation's truth.

I think it's something along the lines of the latter--men are more likely to use violent means that are more effective where women are more likely to use means such as pills, which are less effective (but can still lead to permanent damage). Additionally, violent means lead to instant death more often so there's less opportunity to back out or for someone else to intervene.

So there are certainly gender differences, but it's not clear that it's a difference of intent.
No. No one can explain how it doesn't.
I was recently watching one video where the state basically outlawed civil forfeiture. But the fed hasn't. And the feds will share the profit with all agencies involved. So police in that state will still sieze money and turn it over to the feds and get a cut back.
You mean like good design?

I think the best way is unfortunately just experience. Design patterns are just that, patterns, and you learn and sort of internalize them when you work on real projects.

You can also look at open-source projects with good architectures like LLVM, lichess, etc. (there are other threads with a list of these).

The most important thing to understand IMO is that there’s no one-size-fits-all architecture, and a great architecture vs a “better” architecture isn’t that different and not worth wasting too much time. A small project will burnout using Google’s practices and a Google-sized project will fall apart using small-company practices. If you plan on making your own app, definitely sketch out an idea of the architecture before you start building it, but don’t spend too much time or worry too much because it’s more important that you actually start.
The difference is are you sacrificing, or are you forcing others to sacrifice?

How is it virtuous to make somebody else bear the cost of your dreams?

Note that organizing neighbors to pick up trash is a purely voluntary task by you and your neighbors.

I know that politicians routinely offer you virtue by voting for them to make someone else pay. But I hope you can see it's a false virtue.
It isn't - both can kill you. DC results in a continuous muscle contraction, where AC makes for many contractions; DC 'let go' current is higher than AC; lethal AC current is also lower than DC. But we're talking mA here - house current will kill either way if it goes through the heart. source: https://www.brighthubengineering.com/power-plants/89792-ac-a...

> Even WW2 was largely won by infantry and artillery, tanks and aircraft are way overrated.

You may wish to read Engineers of Victory: The Making of the War Machine That Defeated the Nazis by Paul Kennedy:

> Kennedy recounts the inside stories of the invention of the cavity magnetron, a miniature radar “as small as a soup plate,” and the Hedgehog, a multi-headed grenade launcher that allowed the Allies to overcome the threat to their convoys crossing the Atlantic; the critical decision by engineers to install a super-charged Rolls-Royce engine in the P-51 Mustang, creating a fighter plane more powerful than the Luftwaffe’s; and the innovative use of pontoon bridges (made from rafts strung together) to help Russian troops cross rivers and elude the Nazi blitzkrieg. He takes readers behind the scenes, unveiling exactly how thousands of individual Allied planes and fighting ships were choreographed to collectively pull off the invasion of Normandy, and illuminating how crew chiefs perfected the high-flying and inaccessible B-29 Superfortress that would drop the atomic bombs on Japan.

Certainly you need (to use the probably over-used phrase) "boots on the ground". But air supremacy helped a lot in European campaign, as did many other Allied innovations, and the technologists that put those developments into field:

TL;DR: Bump it to #638046.

- text is black, #000000.

- background is #4A662E.

- tone/L* of text is 0

- tone/L* of background is 40

- elements smaller than 18 pts should have a contrast ratio of 4.5 or more

- difference in tone for 4.5 contrast ratio is 50

- take background at T40, adjusted to T50: #4A662E
turns to #638046

Ok. But you can make civil asset forfeiture illegal. Now they may so seize your property, but it would be a more straightforward fourth amendment battle
No, it should only be the district's device while the district student's login is being used. There's still very much a legally-enforceable expectation of privacy for the other possible users of the machine.

That the user is the actual owner of the equipment makes it pretty important that someone at the school system defined the MDM policies properly so as not to violate other user's privacy rights. ...but considering the way most of them are staffed, they probably screwed up and need to be shown the right way to do it before they land themselves in court.
It may be the case that if we do this, the universe in the long term will become increasingly hostile to our inhabitation.

Maybe our wants, pleasures, ideas of how the universe should be, don't make any sense in the context of physical reality, just like moving at 1 billion m/s relative to a stationary observer doesn't make any sense in the context of physical reality.
I suppose that might be true if you're using a 60hz clock speed.

There are english literature works from before the 19th century which use stile in this meaning, not just to refer to a gate through a fence.

"Stile Antico" from the Italian (?) for a form of music, but I think it was also used during a time spelling was more fluid.

ITT: people swearing its impossible to use a laptop because some marginal differences, and because a mechanical keyboard 10x your productivity.

I use both a laptop and a desktop, but I mainly work on my laptop, because I can have my work there with me, and I can work from everywhere, I don't feel like it? I go to a cafe and work from there. I have to visit my sister today and I wasn't planning to? ohh nice, I am taking my laptop with me.

People act like programming is data entry, and that's it all about actions per minute. "My button clicking speed lineary correlate with my code output", doesn't work like that.
That's why forced collective action does very poorly compared with voluntary cooperation. People don't like being forced.

Microsoft, SpaceX, the free market in general, etc., do not rely on forcible cooperation. Yet it's very successful.

2nd year physics, my first lecture was one of the professors rambling away about quarks and other tiny particles. During that lecture I saw my future life:

1. Highly unlikely best case scenario : Academic treadmill and all that implies, PhD, Postdoc, applying for grants, tenuous employment forevermore etc. The rest of society view me as a crackpot even if my fellow physicists like my ideas. I mean even if you have a Nobel it's not like society in general would value you as much as say Linus.

2. Highly Likely scenario I fail or find something else interesting to do, at some point - all that effort and agony and knowledge of quarks and tiny particles is of very little use in my day to day life.

So, like you, "What's the point?"

I chose option 2. - go do something else. I walked away and never came back. Studying computers was relevant to my daily decisions every day of my life - even if I were to have a career not directly in IT.
Well put. Not to mention that once the platform and business support ads, it's a slippery slope. No ads on the top tier quickly becomes "We'll just show limited ads to the top tier to make up this quarter's shortfall," and so on from there.
> But the real story of WWI (IMHO) was artillery. Here's a story I heard: at the start of WWI, Russia produced 35,000 artillery shells per month and was using 25,000 a day. By 1917, there were battles on the Western Front where between both sides over a million artillery shells were fired in a matter of hours.

Meanwhile more tonnes of oats and hay for horses were shipped from the UK to France than munitions.
