Twitter's UI didn't get vastly better with the redesigns, it just looked different, which is an example of a company stagnating IMO.
100% agreed here. If your package manager confuses established tooling and libraries, it's garbage. I recently started working at a company that uses this, and, horrifyingly, uses a monorepo, and their serverless lambdas are all at least 70+mb. I can't even fix it by using the webpack plugin because pnpm breaks webpack. Also worth noting that 90% of the "problems" that yarn and pnpm try to address were addressed by later versions of npm. Node, being very much tied to npm, doesn't need more package managers, it needs consensus and collaboration to improve on that consensus, and without breaking libs.
When this comes up among friends I always ask, "If you had diabetes you'd take insulin right? Why is mental health any different?"

Find a psychiatrist and see them regularly so they can monitor your mood and response to the drugs. And stick with the therapy while doing this.

The combination is key, the meds will make getting through the day easier, and the therapy will help you find coping mechanisms and be more self aware of your emotions in a productive manner. This sounds hard and dumb but will be easier with the meds.

Then as you feel better you can work with both providers to adjust your meds or test removing them if that's something you want.

But at the end of the day, you need to talk with professionals. They're trained to help and will allow you to talk about specifics in ways that could identify triggers. Take it from someone with years of therapy and psychiatrist visits under my belt. It feels like it's not working at first, but you need to keep with it and follow through.

Good luck and I hope you find the help you're looking for.

I paid for Plex. I also paid for the media I accessed through it. I don't mind paying for these things. I do mind losing access to my local library because my internet is down, though. I do mind paying a decent amount of money and still getting garbage shoved in my face and a poor and declining user experience.
I'm not glorifying Dr. Google, but I damn as hell am sure not going to take the "just shut up and listen to your doctor" advice.

Heck, I stated off the bat that antidepressants did help me. I'm not "anti-antidepressant" at all. But I do understand the economic forces at play means that plenty of "medical professionals" are more than happy to charge $200+ for a 20 minute meds management consultation, simply because it's faster/easier than dealing with underlying issues.

As for your "This whole thread should be booted waaaaay off HN" comment, the anger people are responding to is lots of us have had horrible experiences, but we're just told to "shut up and listen to your doctor". How do you think the whole opioid epidemic came about? Huge parts of the medical establishment were more than happy to get their commission, people's well-being be damned.
step 1 - See a professional. It works for lots of people. It can work for you.

for me - I went the medication route and it didn't work for me. It may seem cringe but watching these videos changed my life.

So for me the solution was

* motorcycles

And after hanging out with other bikers I've learned a lot of people are dealing with issues.

Good luck on your journey!
It's not puzzling at all if you think about a couple other Plex "audiences": SmartTV and STB makers, and investors.

What story works better for those two (valid) audiences?

Everyone knows nobody has massive libraries of home movies. These other features offer a more clearly supportable "look, it's not just for (ahem) home video libraries" narrative.
Panic rooms will never get cheap - except in new construction - though.

Unlike cars, houses aren't replaced every 3-10 years. Retrofitting panic rooms will always be expensive - just like retrofitting airbags to a car without them (no one does it).

Similarly, the cost/benefit isn't there to everyone. Every passenger probably has a roughly equal chance of being in an accident, the likelihood that an average person needs a panic room is much lower than the top 0.001% (and probably bottom percentage in the hood would benefit to, but can't afford it, or even giving up the real estate to one, unless it was the primary bedroom).

Airbags were also expensive predominantly because they weren't being installed - and automakers DIDN'T want to install them: https://www.csmonitor.com/1988/0519/abelt.html. I'm not sure cost of production or installation was ever really the significant hurdle to their uptake.
Just focus on the technology and use something like Rails. Most web dev work is mundane, get whoever, just pick a productive technology, scaling is not an issue since you are a SaaS.

The quote is “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” by Richard Feynman, 22 seconds into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ZRLllWgHI

“Science popularizers often use real-world metaphors to bring specialized knowledge to the public. This was not the case with Feynman. When he delivered that famous quote during a conference at Cornell University in 1964, he was trying to convince his listeners not to try to understand his explanation ‘in terms of something familiar.’ Instead, he announced that he would simply describe how nature works, inviting those present to ‘relax and enjoy it.’”.

How could it possibly be only a few bucks to answer questions like this though? A human would have to be doing the research and writing for you. If that human is trying to answer a query a minute to earn a reasonable wage then your results are going to be rushed and poor. If the human takes enough time to find a good answer then the search will need to cost enough to make it worth the time of a skilled researcher.

I could see a "virtual assistant" version of this where you pay fifty dollars and send a request like "Reservations in Vegas for these dates at a hotel with good pool."

The short lived BlackBerry playbook

It runs QNX and you could get a terminal emulator for it, through which you had a functional unix like environment with a text editor, compiler, python, etc. It's not updated and all the root certs (I think I'm using that correctly, not my area) are expired, so it doesn't connect with anything that needs https. Otherwise I think it could be an awesome terminal tablet (it needs a better keyboard too)

I don't remember where I read that but major depression should be treated the most aggressively way possible because each failed attempt makes the next attempt less likely to succeed. This will probably mean a combinationof therapy, exercise and antidepressant.

The cocktails described in Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology: Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications 4th Edition¹ are particularly effective but you absolutely need to be under the care of a psychiatrist to attempt that kind of treatment.

We have excellent physical reasons to think DT fusion will not be practical. The power density will be terrible, so it would be more expensive than fission at boiling water -- and fission isn't competitive these days.
Related: if you enjoy live music, get a pair of custom-fit musician's earplugs. They cost $150 total, which is a lot of money for earplugs, but is not much at all for protecting my hearing. Also, that's not many concert tickets!

Yes, but so rarely does that use case actually happen. It has been fine with a dongle and not ever been a space issue. I carry a USB-C to A dongle with me at all times wherever my laptop goes. It basically lives with the laptop. Works just fine for every use case I have and it’s often the thing taking up my second slot. A bit annoying, but a fact of life. All SD card stuff happens on my desktop - anytime I need an SD card to connect to a computer I’m always at home - I’ve never once had that requirement on the go. External keyboards just don’t get used at all - I paid a bunch of money for a nice keyboard built into my portable machine, in fact one of the reasons I purchased the 2020 MacBook Air was because they got rid of the butterfly keyboard - so I don’t really use external peripherals with it.

I got into Buddhism through books on my dad's bookshelf. My dad became curious about Buddhism and Taoism through the writings of Alan Watts, Gary Snyder, and other people in that crowd, and he became fascinated with those people through the novels of Jack Kerouac. I always knew about this causal chain, but I never knew that Jack Kerouac himself wanted to be a popularizer of Buddhism! In my admittedly skewed perception, the glimpse he gave America into the Beat Generation was far more influential in promoting Buddhism indirectly than his own embrace of it.

Control has been regained. As you were...
You have an unhealthy relationship to medicine if you refuse to even read the advice of other people. I've been treated by hundreds of medical professionals and worked with dozens and I can assure you they do not hold any secret undying truth about human health. Modern medicine is primitive and brutal, we are fumbling buffoons when it comes to the human body and its ills, especially in the realm of mental health. If you don't believe me watch an orthopedic surgeon do his work (if you can stomach the electric saws and the hammers).
Whether or not Kerouac was responsible for bringing Buddhism to the West, the hole in his version of Buddhism certainly resembles that in the usual Western manifestation. The West often perceives Buddhism as endlessly transgressive, "no rules", but Buddhism does in practice usually have rules, and one of the rules that made the list of the five most important rules -- just five -- is "don't get drunk". ("Don't lie" is the really hard one, though!)

Luckily for those of us in the modern day, much more has been translated from the Buddhist literature in the East than was available to the Beat Generation. I can't reasonably criticize someone's knowledge of Buddhism who learned about it in the '50s when I have Google and Wikipedia and Amazon, and there are probably more zen centers now, too.
Most people will know someone who has experienced one.
A pattern of non-communication about high risk security issues to developers that could help mitigate their effects or to customers that will be affected by that lack of mitigation seems like intentionally malicious behavior to me.

Lack of transparency is inexcusable for a business with such an overwhelmingly prolific ecosystem that has such a broad impact on derivative technologies and the businesses that use it.
I highly doubt anyone reads that. I think the only way to be up-front about it is to have an annoying pop-up that with a button that says "OK YOU CAN SEND TELEMETRY" that must be clicked before proceeding.

To be fair, I think HN is a collection of outliers when it comes to caring about network activity caused by running programs. Most devs will probably just be happy that the tool provides a lot of value.
Thanks, for the remark, I fixed it. In the future, a slider with a range of weights might be more fun, and limiting the animals to cows only, just waiting on a scale to measure all their weights.
The past two years opened a ton of eyes regarding the fallibility of the medical community.

Turns out most doctors prescribe what is recommended by the professional organization they’re a member or the CDC.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve been at my daughter’s pediatrician’s office and the doctor either hands me a print out of the CDC website or actively googles something in front of me during a visit.

Sometimes I’ll ask her “what do you think about…” and she’ll parrot back “well the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends…”

And guess what? These clowns are fine with it. They jump through ridiculous hoops in school to get cushy high paying jobs, and their professional organizations work very hard to keep any competition out.

My brother just got prescribed anti-depressants this week. All the doctor did was give him the standard DSM “are you depressed” test. His score was barely on the depressed spectrum and so the doctor gave the standard dose. “See you a month from now, call me if you feel like killing yourself.”

No probing questions about why he might be depressed. No questions about past his past experiences with seasonal depression in Michigan where he lives. No other alternative remedies. Just a prescription, next patient please.

These doctors are just very highly credentialed monkies. They have vast knowledge of when to prescribe what and at the recommended dose. But ask them any kind of thought provoking question and inevitably you’ll get “the [trade organization I belong to] recommends…”

When my wife was in labor with my firstborn, the doctor and I were hanging out chatting. I asked him what the machine that printed out the intensity of her contractions was measuring. I kid you not: “well… it measures… it’s like how tight her uterus is… like, the intensity of her contractions.” No doc, what physical phenomenon is it measuring. It sits on her belly. What is it doing? Crickets. Guy couldn’t even tell me what the units were on the chart.

Try it sometime. Ask them a knowledge check question. Something simple, like “why do you administer this vaccine at four months old instead of, say, six months old?” or “what do these SSRIs do to my brain chemistry that helps manage my depression symptoms?” Watch them squirm.

Almost as interesting is the fact that none of them have ever admitted “you know, that’s a great question, I’m not sure, let me go research it and get back with you,” a completely valid answer. The hubris among these folks is something.

I’ll warn you though, if you try this you’re going to lose a lot respect for these medical “professionals”, I guarantee it.
Even more amazingly, it's likely a marketing thing, using the 万 (man) character, which looks like someone walking and happens to be 10,000.
Former Netflix employee here (left back in 2013 so their stance might have changed).

At the time, Netflix was very opposed to what we called "meta search" (e.g. having Netflix titles available to look up outside the Netflix interface). The idea was that we wanted people to "consciously choose Netflix" as opposed to just choosing what they want to watch and getting it on whatever service happened to have it or was randomly chosen. I've always assumed they maintained this perspective (though, I'm somewhat surprised if they do considering the landscape today with every service leveraging their original/exclusive content more than their generic licensed library).
In a house with drywall interior walls over wooden or metal studs, a framing hammer will make a reinforced door completely irrelevant. Somebody that wants to get to you can just come through the wall in a few seconds.
It must be tough to find someone even weaker than a leader who fired subordinates by text message, or by CNN announcement rather than face-to-face. Or who just made it hard on his Attorney General in hopes that said AG would just quit, and that leader wouldn't have to actually fire someone.

Strong leaders fire subordinates when they need to, and they do it face-to-face.
Granted everyone's case is different, but my doctor went forward with medications only as part of a comprehensive plan to deal with my mental health which included seeing a therapist and committing to an exercise program (it sounded silly to be before, but exercise can be for some people can be nature's antidepressant). I'm on a 6 week to 3-month schedule of follow-up visits with my doctor to keep track of where I'm at mentally. Yes, there are absolutely doctors out there that will toss pills to people and send them on their way, but I don't think it's the majority. I also vet doctors the same way I would a mechanic or anyone else who is going to be doing important work for me. It can be hard, but there are doctors who care about doing the right thing out there.
You can get custom made concert earplugs, they run ~$200 and are absolutely worth it if you go to a lot of concerts. I see 75+ shows a year and it pays for itself very quickly.

You can go to an audiologist or look into ACS[0] (who will take your molds for free if you're in NYC).

I'm skeptical of anyone who claims they have zero effect on the music, but the reality is they are quite unobtrusive and the manipulation is minimal. I find they reduce the fuzziness and reverb of shows, whether that sound is intentional by the artist or not, leading to a crisper sound (again, sometimes maybe to the slight detriment of the experience). If a concert is very loud they will greatly improve your enjoyment of the music. If you see concerts regularly, do it yesterday.

But there are excellent reasons to think DT fusion (which is what these people are trying to do, as well as most fusion efforts) is a nonstarter. And these reasons have been known since at least the 1980s. We skeptics get annoyed at vacuous optimism that just ignores these real arguments.
There's a lot of dangerous advice in these comments.
Of the people I've known who have done SSRIs, they all spoke negatively of them.

Also just wanted to address a point I'm seeing repeated in this swarm of replies: from what I know not all professionals go the SSRI route. I think many of them are aware of the lack of trust in the pharmaceutical industry.

A professional who doesn't suck will take your concerns over SSRIs seriously. A lot of people here are essentially saying "the professional is right because they are a professional"; I call BS. The professional is right in so far as they show themselves to be right over time

At the same time, it's important to not wait or delay getting help if you're in a downward spiral. Just make sure it's from someone who's trustworthy and respectful of your concerns for your own well being

Same. But boy to people really like tools "written in Rust".
This is a great answer. Thank you!
Remember that a lot of people's issue with antidepressant medications stems from how widely they're prescribed. For somebody going through a fairly minor and "normal" depressive episode, the cure might be worse than the poison. A lot of doctors crank out antidepressant prescriptions, and for somebody whose condition would subside with fairly minor lifestyle changes or time, they can definitely be worse off for it. This is what you hear a lot of on the internet. I'm not your doctor, but this does not sound like you.

I've had one bout of anxiety that I went on medication for. Normally I have other ways to cope with depressive/anxious times, but in this case, there was nothing to cope with; everything was going well for me by every metric. When it started to seriously interfere with my life, I decided to give SSRIs a try. For the first week, I woke up a few times in the middle of the night, but other than that, I didn't experience any side effects. It addressed my anxiety and I was on them for about 5 months. The side effects could have been quite a bit worse and it still would have been better for my health than the constant anxiety. I know people that have had issues with antidepressants, but nobody I know has ended up completely fried because of them.

Talk to a doctor about what's best for you, but don't write off medication because of the possible (they are not guaranteed) side effects. If you are depressed to the point you are struggling to function in absence of anything actually going wrong in your life, the risks of continuing with that could very well be worse than the side effects of medication.
What would Mel Gibson think?
I've experienced four or five, and most people in my inner circle have experienced at least one. Anecdotal only, but I'd contest the claim that "most people will not experience one" at least within places that have mandated airbags in new cars for the last X years.

Ironically, and somewhat supportive of the airbags analogy, none of the accidents I had were in cars that had airbags, or those that were, the airbags didn't / needn't deploy. There was one, however, where seatbelts were critical.
Absolutely nothing, although when management is opposed to the takeover they have techniques to make it very costly for the attacker. In this case, the requirements are conditions for a seat on the board – if Elon wanted, he could resign and buy as much stock as he pleases.
