I had severe clinical depression in my early 30s, so this comes from experience and is nuanced and effective.

The depression was so bad it profoundly effected my vocabulary and cognitive function.

We're talking a 20 point drop in IQ. I was so deep in the well I no longer had depression but depression had me. I was fortunate to be going to a therapist at the time who recommended I go on anti-depressants and I agreed but I made a deal with him first.

The starting dose he was going to prescribe was something I saw had similar impact to vigorous exercise so I asked if I could try biking every day for the next 4 weeks and if I wasn't better I would start taking anti-depressants.

Because my fathers depression severely negatively and permanently impacted my life I had a pathological talisman to always get out of bed everyday.

I rode a bike every day in the Texas 100 degree heat, a minimum of 16 miles and usually 20, I would drink over a gallon of water on each ride.

I would sing songs from my childhood and pray out loud (I was ~religous at the time) as I rode and talked to myself and about what was happening in my life almost the whole time... while absolutely flogging myself on the bike every day.

There was no affect the first week, no lifting of depression.

On the 8th day I had ~one hour where my mind seemed normal before the veil dropped again.

By the time I went back to the therapist I was myself for all but an hour a day.

If you cannot do such extreme exercise you MUST go on medication (you should almost definitely go on medication, it's nothing to be scared of, many people are on them only short term), regardless you should see a therapist and follow their advice, you must talk through how you got to your current situation and take practical, physical steps to alter your environment. If you try exercise you must make a time gated deal with your therapist then hold yourself strictly to it.

Medication need not be permanent, if you are inside of depression you must get a mental toe hold out through any means necessary so your operating mindset isn't coming from helplessness and emotional poverty.

In addition to medication I would also practice the entire list below:

The one caution I have with medication is that in almost all cases it must accompany working/talking through underlying issues with an engaged therapist, otherwise you're cutting your gains way short. Depression in individuals without clear disorders is like anger, your body and mind are telling you that practical things must change.
Plenty of punks are making and listening to new music. Your nearest major city undoubtedly has a punk scene in which people play shows, record and put out each other's albums, and otherwise build a community very much focused on the present and future. Are they stuck 50 years in the past or is your idea of them?

Yea that is a somewhat common issue with HDMI and audio - if the device passing it through cant keep up then there can be sync issues. Or the source device can also be a problem (or an app on the source device).

I have found toslink and SPDIF to be both very reliable in this though (probably since they are such mature technologies at this point).

Make sure your TV is actually outputting the correct format over Toslink to your soundbar - many times they default to 2.1 instead of 5.1 or the wrong format (Assuming you have a soundbar with more than just 2.1). A lot of TV's also downmix to 2.1 audio if you pass through a source to them and then use the Toslink output of the TV to a receiver (like say if you did Apple TV --> TV --> Receiver)
> Whatever mea culpa that CDC person is going through in that particular interview does not change the facts

> that CDC person

What's with the minimizing language? That "CDC person" is the director of the CDC.

Is there a reason we should listen to the CDC when they prescribe large social and economic changes but not when they critique themselves?

> You are not complaining about what their plan was, just about how it failed, which is clearly outside of what they can affect

I intended to critique the plan itself, not the execution of the plan. That's my fault.

> Try to stick to one opinion

No you're a towel!

> If you want some information about things to criticize...

Will dig into, thanks.

Did you read this part, or are you just going to completely ignore it? "The [modern day] court system puts very strong restrictions on what the government is able to do, regarding speech."

I am not sure how anyone who has read any supreme court opinion in the last 40 years, could come to the conclusion that the government is not strongly prevented from engaging in large speech restrictions.
And also - it's a cliche fucking answer, but make sure you get outside and see some sunlight every day. If you have the time to do it, walk or bike to your destinations instead of taking the car or public transport.

Walking for about an hour a day in the daytime will likely bring you similar mental benefits as strenuous exercise does. And on the plus-side you're not cooped up in a gym like a hamster in a wheel.
Had Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder for many years.

I went through a couple different psychiatrists and multiple combinations of meds before I found something that was mostly effective and without major side effects for me. Along the way I went through times where I was severely overmedicated and couldn't really function but quickly recognized that and worked with my psychiatrist to move onto another treatment. You have to give stuff a shot and see how it goes for you, chances are the first thing you try is not the thing that's going to work.

The psychiatrist that I stuck with was the one that suggested I should also see a therapist. My take is you need both. I went through a few different therapists before I found one that worked for me. They helped me develop the tools I needed to break out of the cycle and take control of the anxiety and depression.

Ultimately starting to take care of myself physically was the biggest impact and the thing that really got me off the meds and "graduated" from therapy. But I wouldn't have been able to get started on that without the meds and the therapy.
> Russian budget receives the money in taxes paid by exporters

That is incorrect. The oil and gas companies is owned by a few oligarchies with direct ties to Putin and the Russian government. Based on what secret service and other agencies has leaked, there isn't a major difference between what is the Russian government, what is controlled by Putin, and what is owned by the owners of the oligarchies. To a degree they operate just like a banana republic in this aspect, although a better comparison is likely state owned Chinese companies that get funded, instructed, operated by government personal, given benefits by their secret service, and with party representatives being directly involved in the leader structure and ownership.

And it may indeed take years before the sanctions actually hurt enough for the Russian government to start move to the peace table. American war in Afghanistan took 20 years. Iraq started in 2003 and ended in fully in 2021. Their war in Pakistan took 14 years. Yemen is still ongoing, same in Somalia, and Syria.

6 months would be comparable short, and it is not out of the question that it may take many years. The more funds they get the easier they have in continuing operations. And while Russia produces nearly all of its military equipment, just like the US does, both require a lot of imports to actually do the production. Military equipment require a lot of electronics, much which isn't produced in Russia. Machines, vehicles, technology and tools all depend on international supply chains, and the more isolated the nation is the harder and more money they need to spend on maintaining those critical imports. All while the nations population suffer from the economic downturn. At some point reserves gets low and that is when peace is best pursuit.

That ML and those targeted ads may help identify a depressed teenager and help them get help. A lot of folks who are depressed, especially kids, do not know that they are. And many adults in their lives do not see it either.
Which will probably work fine until there is consolidation, which ironically is what many people are asking for even though it's unlikely to lead to the results they desire.

I was in the same boat.

Don't listen to the haters. Anti-depressants are amazing. Most of the people who 'cured' their depression through some kind of cheap trick turn out to have been self-diagnosed.

Anti-depressants, if dosed and chosen properly, have basically no side effects. The only change is you get to experience life like neurotypical people. So like, exercise is fun, not a form of torture. Emotions are OK, not the harbringers of the apocalypse.

Living with depression is awful, and it almost never goes away. It's also extremely dangerous. Look at the stats: depression is a dangerous medical condition. Anybody telling you to take some herb or read a book is on the level of the people who prescribe smoothies to cancer patients. Get medical advice. Take drugs if they are prescribed. Depression massively increases your risk of death from all causes. Anti-depressants have like, a slight chance of causing dry skin.
rust's rustup planned to add telemetry - they had a config for it (but never ended up doing so). It still affected me and how I viewed the program. These things stick around. I think they are safely without telemetry now (but they "obviously" ping home to look for updates).

This is perhaps slightly orthogonal to the main discussion here on this thread, but I have a question for Zach (and the various engineers posting on this thread):

Did you guys talk to real-world users while building this and before this launch?

This whole blow-up re: your telemetry / open sourcey'ness seems like it could have been avoided. I'm curious if you actually floated these ideas with real world users and a) everyone else is cool with it but the HN crowd is super put off by it, b) everyone is super put off by it but you decided to launch anyway, or c) you didn't actually check with real-world users and hoped for the best.

Sorry if that sounds snarky - it's not my intent. I'm genuinely curious here as a product person / entrepreneur / builder, etc.
Yes, you could start with the second book for the basics of formal language theory and then delve into the first book for the various parsing approaches.
>You can use ctrl-x ctrl-e in most terminals.

Shells, not terminals.
It was tweaked quite a bit. Canvas expansion over time, palette expansion over time, wait time modified to a flat 5 minutes, and a completely different ending come to mind. Of course this time there were also ~5x as many tiles placed per hour as well. If all that counts for is a lazy uninspired move to copy the exact same thing then sign me up for more lazy uninspired events.

Your memory of 2017 seems to be more nostalgia than reality as much of the same occurred in regards to both good sentiment and bad during it - it was only looking back that everything seemed perfect. Many people hated rainbowroad, thebluecorner, flags, and similar groups just the same in 2017. Bots weren't the invention of the last 5 years either. If you look at the 2022 canvas and the only genuine interaction you see is the Ukrainian flag then you're simply ignoring the good parts to leave focus on the bad. If I had to focus on the biggest difference between 2017 and 2022 I'd actually say it was the amount of attention large streamers drove to it all. There were plenty of streamers in 2017 but in 2022 pretty much all major view count streamers were treating it as a multi-day content event between each other instead of really being tied to what was being coordinated from Reddit communities interacting.

I hope they do another one in another 5 years. My favorite part of this year was seeing placestart manage to get the XP start menu in after the final expansion. It was my favorite part of the first one and it was good to see it get some tweaks as well.
Not sure if it helps you, since you seem like you already tried a lot. I was confused about the different ways to do this, so I wrote down the ways I found: https://makandracards.com/darktable/477993-remove-chromatic-...
Thank you. Im dual booting osx and linux right now so those will both come in handy.
Here I am on my free-as-in-freedom operating system, making commits with my free DVCS tool in my free text editor, building it with my free language toolchain, using my free terminal multiplexer with my free UNIX shell.

There is absolutely zero chance that I'm going to do all of this using a proprietary closed-source telemetry-sending terminal emulator no matter what visual niceties or fancy UI frameworks it may offer.
> I said "we don't hear about him nearly as much as when he had a twitter

He didn't stop getting wall-to-wall coverage in all media when he was banned for Twitter.

It did start fading shortly after he left office.

I mean, it could be coincidence, but it does seem to suggest an obvious alternative explanation for why attention to him dropped.
You do understand that developers use the terminal with very sensitive information? Things like SSH keys, proprietary code (for vim users), Bitcoin private keys, etc...

These cover both professional (company) and personal stuff. No one should use a terminal that has telemetry (unless they are out of their mind).
Ditto. Second data point here.
You were probably seeing the amiga too late in its life - it was only really impressive in the 80s, but it was really impressive in the 80s (especially when it was competing with 286, EGA & PC-speaker).
When I had depression, I had similar symptoms like you. I had same deep pit in the morning and unable to sleep at night.

I tried exercise, read Feeling Good book, took different vitamins etc. None of this really helped.

What finally worked was giving into my depression. I would come back from work, listen to sad songs, cry like a child, pray, and drink until I passed out. Within a few days, I would wake up without pit in my stomach. Hangover was another story. Within a couple of weeks, I was not depressed. Depression turned into anxiety. And anxiety was a lot easier to deal with than depression.

Once depression was mostly gone, then I was able to use CBT methods to deal with my anxiety.

It is really hard for people who never experienced depression to understand what it feels like. It is worse than hell. I am sorry you are going through it. Just take one day at a time.
Twitter Building Edit Feature
Lots of CLI tools phone home unfortunately. I mean, snap has a cli.. :) Maybe that's low hanging fruit.
It's exactly what the problem is. Jobs may be growing because so many were cut due to covid, that doesn't mean it's a healthy economy, because it's not by any stretch. Most created wealth is going to the top 10% of employees.
seems odd to write such a mathy question on stackexchange when the literature and popular introductions on how this is done are copious. Further, while there is a lot that algorithms can help with, often times just knowing a bit of domain structural knowledge can be invaluable (for example, using rflps for determining relatedness rather than comparing whole genomes). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imputation_(genetics)
What if it’s accompanied with a history feature that shows all the tweet edits?
No argument with the wisdom in those words. Be vigilant in protecting your choices. Events and misunderstandings will arise at inopportune times, mistakes will be made. Moments will test our resolve, try to confuse us, to throw us off-balance. Move aside, then regain the course.
The author's perspective is one that I find very relatable. I am often able to see when people are trying to take advantage of me from a distance, but I choose to "give them the benefit of the doubt", even though I may know that there is a very slim chance that they actually deserve it. I do this because I am curious. When your experience suggests that you can accurately read people's intentions and motivations, talking to bad faith actors becomes a fun game of figuring out what they're up to and learning about their world. A risky one, certainly, but I like playing.

> Both "mainstream" and "moderate" are relative terms with respect to some population.

Correct. Which attribute of the population though? Their height? Their skin color? Their weight? No, their ideology.

> Different groups have different Overton windows.

What is an Overton window if not a measure of ideology?

> No, it doesn't matter what my ideology is, it matters what context we're talking about. That context is often implicit, but that doesn't mean the notion of "moderate" is ideological.

That's exactly what ideology is, "implicit context".
Very interesting - I know NASA has also been studying using plants for air filtration in space (many are especially good at filtering out certain gasses like Toulene or Benzene and whatnot). Plus of course they produce oxygen and give a psychological benefit to the astronauts up there.

I always thought it was mind blowing that there are some trees where you can let them grow to a certain size, completely dig them out, flip them upside down, and then the roots will start growing leaves. Plants are amazingly adaptable and robust.
Maybe it was Action Button who put it best when he said Cyberpunk 2077 is the gamer chair of cyberpunk, and I'm paraphrasing.

Somehow I missed when RawTherapee added the feature for bulk editing. Thanks for pointing that out in your article. Maybe I should give RawTherapee a new try :)
I frankly don't care. Whenever I hear someone complain about how "the algorithm" is trying to feed them liberal/centrist/conservative propaganda, I just sip my drink and let them tire themselves out trying to explain how awful this purported all-seeing AI is. More often than not, it becomes apparent that their repeated interaction with posts they despise is what drives their unhealthy recommendation loop.
If you think about it, the quantities of helium that will be produced by fusion reactors are necessarily extremely small. E=mc^2 and all that.

>Er, isn’t the whole point of Google tracking you and knowing your mothers blood type so they can give you better search results tailored to you ?

AFAICT, quality personalized search results isn't the goal for Google here.

I think the point of all that is generating revenue via advertising sales.

And while providing high quality search results might once upon a time have been a goal, both as a goal in itself and a tool to drive user adoption/engagement, that's no longer necessary as they have a (relatively) captive audience and a (relatively) captive customer base (advertisers). As such, quality search results are no longer all that important.

I'm not a Googler, IMHO, YMMV, etc.
R&D is not useless.
An amusing factoid is that they always come in two's, so one of them can squeal on the other if they go off script.

i know what you're saying, but this isn't exactly a triviality
with its linking strategy, pnpm allows for multiple versions of the same package.

I wish there was something like that in PHP's Composer, where I have repeatedly hit situations where different packages have a dependency that was pinned to a different version (such as one package using Guzzle 6 and another Guzzle 7), and therefore my composer.json was un-buildable.

(I have less experience with NPM so I don't know if they have a different solution for this.)
I want to like this, and clearly a lot of work went into it, but the existing tooling here has gotten so good lately, without losing any of the power user affordances.

WezTerm is crazy fast with GPU-accelerated ligatures, mcfly has an NN in it that startles me, fzf, rg, bat. Everything has bash/zag/fish autocomplete in it now. tmux customization has become a high art form, VSCode has forced all the best language tooling features in vi and emacs.

There’s definitely a renaissance of the terminal happening, I just think it’s fueled more by the Rust community having found its first killer use case/thin end of the wedge into all our lives by pimping our ride on the terminal experience than corporate backing.

Best of luck to these folks, but I hope they’re aware of Lucid and have its outcome incorporated into their plan. They did great stuff but a bunch of GNU people with something to prove built it in the bazaar.
To answer the last question: all companies are in competitive markets. For example - if you can get customers for your saas product at a cost of $25,000 per customer and that customer is worth $100,000 to your business over the lifetime, and you can acquire 10,000 of them over the next 18 months - you probably should take all the money required and go get them.

If you don't, some other company with a similar product will.

To be clear though - most companies do exactly as you are saying. You just never hear much from them unless you are their target market.
Most open source projects have a woeful lack of community resources and documentation though, so that’s not really saying much.

Ultimately documentation doesn’t solve usability problems it just makes note of them.
Mhm, of course.

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition. The pope is infallible. And the cardinal surely knows best. Ours is not to question why.

You see, every two bit authoritarian is always so very sure that they are correctly interpreting and enforcing the rules. Strong sense of justice, all for the greater good.

And every two bit dictator learns to capitalize on these proclivities. All one has to do is create a rotten atmosphere of guilt, after all, who isn't guilty of something? And then just crown yourself enforcer-in-chief.

If anybody questions you just assert that they are morally inferior, insensitive or just don't get it and goose-step away in a huff.
