I found strangers online to be more effective than doctors, simply because they read to much on the matter, then they interact too much with you.

I basically got diagnosed online by 2 different people about 2 different issues, one is biological, and the other is mental. And they were right. This is nerds out there who read about topics constantly, way more than the average doctor, not even close. So a stranger can help.

Also depends on where you are located, doctors can be dogmatic, there is countries that give antibiotics before extracting teeth, and there is those who don't. Countries who believe ADHD can stay into adulthood and go undiagnosed, and others who believe it is impossible to have ADHD as an adult.

In the ADHD case, depends on who what countries are right, some group might be living a lie taking meds for an illness that doesn't exist, or the other group is suffering being undiagnosed with ADHD despite seeking help, the doctor just tell them its not possible to have ADHD.

I would rather research and try to solve my issues over hand my situation to the medical zeitgeist of my country. Also I am sure if I give myself days of research, thinking, talking to people, comparing situations over some doctor talking to me for 15 minutes then giving me the two meds given to everyone who enter that door (SSRIs and benzos), I might probably be up into something.

I will never stop researching my medical issues, I will never trust my doctors fully, I will always google, research, ask, ask second opinions. Some doctors care more than others, some doctors are capable more than others, you have no idea which ones the RNG gave you.
This is mostly ring / hiccup, just a layer on top to make it easier for beginners.

I would say if you’re not new to clojure, roll your own.
>Starting with 10% says nothing about the difficulty of the program. You don't even know that they were the best 10% of engineering material, just that they were the top 10% of what the school thought were picks as candidates. Selectivity does not confer difficulty. High (50%+)success rate of your selective cohort does not confer low (25%-) success rate of the non-selected group.

It does. Like I said the the smarter kids the tougher the courses. Because smarter kids normalize easiness. The difficulty of the program is set by the kids who attend. The school absolutely cannot fail the entire class, they have to set the hardness so that a certain amount pass. It is absolutely a factor especially if most schools grade on a curve. So if any Tom Dick or Jane can join the curve however steep it is, will reflect the quality of those who join.

"Best engineering material" is a misnomer. the smartest kids from other schools correlate with best engineering material. I already stated that sure you can have some miracle kid that succeeds at engineering but bombs at school, but this is rare. Kids who do well in school tend to do well in engineering. Any other thing you see is likely to be an anomaly.

You're basing your argument off the erroneous notion that engineering talent in school is completely separate from all other subjects and therefore selectivity is completely irrelevant. That doesn't make any sense. I'm saying it's not completely separate at all. There is a strong correlation that if you graduated top of the class in your high school you have a higher likelihood of better performance in engineering at a top school. It's not always the case but the correlation exists.

>It seems we have the same amount of experience with top 10 schools, where N=1 for both. I have been to a 'lower tier' school but not for engineering so I didn't even bother to mention it, and yeah I agree it was a joke comparatively.

Sure it's N=1. But read my paragraph above. That's a common sense figure. Person A gets all F's in your classes and Person B gets straight As and takes a bunch of AP courses... by probability person B will be the better engineer. Common sense. We can make a good estimate based off of common sense logic without the need for statistically rigorous data. So based off of that logic, my reasoning goes beyond a N=1 sample size as we can use common sense induction to arrive at a broader conclusion.
Not all drugs are created equal.

I've been on Welbutrin for about four years now; absolutely life-changing; not an SSRI, so really minimal side effects. 10/10, will take again.

Welbutrin is really special. It's not an SSRI, it's not a TCA. It's an NDRI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norepinephrine%E2%80%93dopamin... and there aren't a whole lot of others like it.
If a metal key that could be duplicated was sufficient for someone to gain access to my company's entire source repository, then yes, I'd say that I shouldn't trust a metal key to be sufficient access control. If that was the best available then I might grudgingly accept it, but in the analogous case here we definitely have something better in the form of hardware-backed asymmetric keys.

Here's an example scenario. One of my users runs Github Desktop and clicks "Sign in". This process involves them performing extra authentication in order to gain access to our enterprise organisation, which is handled by my identity provider. I can hook into that authentication process in order to verify device identity and state, and I can issue a short-lived token. Github will then happily take this short-lived token and provide a long-lived token to the Github Desktop app which will grant access to my organisation's source code without any further authentication, and which is not bound to the device in any way.

If the update is:

set -e -u -o pipefail

(dos-make-addr-conf | tee config.toml) && dosctr set template_vars config.toml

well....

`tee config.toml` will still produce a empty config.toml

(set -e - u -o pipefail;false | tee config.toml) && cat config.toml

But you can use the '>' operator, that will create the file only if the command runs successful:

dos-make-addr-conf > config.toml && dosctr set template_vars config.toml
Here is a little meditation I wrote a while ago on my depression and my medication that still rings true for me.

https://dhubris.livejournal.com/14447.html

I don't know about your part of the world, but in Australia you may find a good GP (doctor who is a general practitioner) who can handle the medication process with you, or see a psychiatrist who usually has more expertise in this area.

Either way it can be a bit of a trial and error process until you find what works for you (which may be different than what works for me or others). Usually four to six weeks before medication reaches full effectiveness. If the medical professional writes you out a prescription without organising a follow up to see how well it is working, tear up the script and find another doc. Don't stop a medication cold turkey. Ramp down dosage under medical guidance.

Good luck!
Xerox licensed it to them. They had no other path to market since nothing at PARC had to do with selling printer paper or whatever it is they did in the 70s.
I think they were probably responding to this part of the parent comment:

I could see LaTeX but with tweaking in Inkscape being useful for posters and flyers.
+1 for Bupropion; completely life-changing for me; after doing some research I've come to understand that it's completely different from other "anti-depressants" and gets bunched with them for their "bad side effects" or whatever.
I think it’ll be widowed down in prestige like all things. Graduating high school, who cares. Getting a loan to goto college, and graduating - guess what, who cares? The more unsubstantial ideas getting millions and petering out, over time, will create the ‘who cares?’ effect.

Saturation is the mother of all mediocrity.

On the other hand, systems, which inevitably become entrenched, are built on saturation. It becomes a mediocre way of life.

Must every conversation about depression devolve into yelling? There’s not even any new information here.

No one with depression is going to read this and go “Oh, you’re right.” It’s self gratification disguised as help.

Everyone knows they really ought to see a doctor. There are plenty of reasons to be scared to. An untimely hospital visit bankrupted me thanks to no health insurance. My sleep doctor had to cut me a deal of only $50 per visit instead of the usual $150, and she really cared about me. I was part of a lucky few.

I think what rubs me wrong about your advice is that it’s positioned at the expense of all other advice. No one’s allowed to have an opinion except yours. Smart people like OP see right through such things, and it tends to push them away. Which is particularly troublesome when the advice is good, like yours is here.
This type of thing happened to me all the time back in college, except the "cult" was Christianity. It was sorta common on campus, though. But I think I got it a little more because I was a bit of a loner. So many over-friendly dudes wanted to save my soul.

Youngs, is this still a thing on college campuses?
Do you remember what explosion it was that you heard 80km away? Because I seriously doubt any of the weaponry Russia has dropped so far can be heard anywhere close to that far.
Honestly, my problem is: I don't want to write low-level code, I want a game engine where I can focus the majority of my time on implementing the actual game mechanics. I don't want to have to deal with manually redrawing the screen every time, I want a sprite graph.

I also don't want to have to use slow and clunky UIs like Unity, I just want to spend the majority of my time writing code in text files, and making assets in other tools like Tiled or photoshop or whatever.

It really surprises me how few engines there are in that category. Only ones I've found were: PhaserJS and HaxeFlixel, and unfortunately no 3D ones.

Your gut reaction is not wrong. That being said, I think it's wise to pick the right time to leverage this capability. Our resources are extremely limited at the moment in comparison to one of the most aggressively litigious entities in our space.

I *do* pay for plex. I would gladly pay much more to have a simple server that works and for which I can have support when it can't classify things. Also the vast majority of media I serve from plex are my own drum practice videos for my own review. It has other uses besides commercial content.

Strange post when Russia is currently committing genocides, something I don't think Tesla has ever done!
Neuromancer has dot matrix printers. Just like the airports!
> Not surprising, I see so many downtown areas still closed in the SJ area.

It depends. The Mexican restaurants did really well. (They went to outside seating in tents that was much larger than what they had before and are packed.)
The Asian restaurants, not so much.

It might be a downtown thing more than an Asian/Mexican thing.

San Jose has spent hundreds of millions of dollars over the decades trying to create a downtown that is barely self-sustaining during the best of times. It was limping (which is about as good as it gets) before Covid and then, wham.

I suspect that downtown SJ redevelopment actually a pay-off to developers.

I’d like to use this as an opportunity to highlight an under-appreciated bit of Kerouac’s work and in my opinion one of his more important releases.
Jack Kerouac - Blues and Haikus

This is a full album from Kerouac featuring poetry readings from him, being able to hear the voice behind the writing adds a distinct dimension to the experience of appreciating the art.

Heat is energy, so I find it surprising that it can't be harnessed. Is it really not possible to take some of the energy out of a system and use it for something?

Neat, but I find the fact that menu bar items open dialogs instead of menus very off-putting. If you're going to do something that appears like classic-style UI, feels a bit odd to make it act differently than it appears.

Well, Twitter's stock price has already gone up, so in a way he hasn't spent anything. Getting the cash to buy the shares in the first place probably involved a lot of capital gains though.
I think this is exactly why Google's search has become trash. They don't need it. Even when their goals changed from "making searching the internet better" to "Making money and collecting data on everyone" they still depended on search to see what people were doing both online and offline.

Now they have millions of cell phones collecting data and the GPS location of everyone offline, they run extremely popular DNS servers to see what websites people go to, most websites (including educational and government websites) include google's trackers so on most websites every page loaded will ping at least one of google servers. They've got people uploading their personal and work documents to their cloud. They are swimming in data collected from sources outside of web search. Between that and the lack of actual competition it's no surprise they aren't investing in making searching the internet better for people. In some ways they profit from search results being terrible. If anything beyond the first few results on the first page is filled with spam and irrelevant websites the top few results to any search become even more valuable.
Zach, this telemetry approach is fine for Google Docs retail users but Warp's target customers are some of the tech savviest people on the planet. They are going to hold Warp to much higher standards of security and privacy.

Second, your user onboarding has too much friction with mandatory Github logins. You need an advisor / product manager who can guide you better when making these "human" decisions.
Hey! So first off I’m not a doctor and am talking from my own experience, and note SSRIs are incredibly independent and personal in how effective they are and what side effects you can get.

I’ve been on Sertraline for around two years. It was the first drug I was given - normally you try a couple till you find one that works - and it did it’s job. I started to come off them last Friday which involves a fairly lengthy multiple-month tapering process. Obviously slightly anxious that my anxieties will come back once I’m off them but they’ve gotten me out of whatever hole I was in and out the other side for the last year or so. Altogether I feel 10x better than at my lowest. I’ve also made lifestyle changes that helped - I cut drinking down to only holidays, I exercise frequently (just did a half hour swim and hour cycle), and I make sure to listen to my body more to try and avoid stress. However I doubt I could have made these changes without the jumpstart sertraline offered me.

Regarding side effects - I had nausea when I started and on any dose increase. I’m more prone to napping. And I put on maybe 30lbs, which I’m starting to shift now (I’m 6ft3 and male so this isnt as big a percentage change as it might sound). I’ve yet to have any side effects tapering down.

Whatever you choose, I wish you the best. Just don’t let stigma or your anxieties get in the way of getting better through meds.

And if you feel suicidal remember to call 911/999 straight away, or any other helpline, because that feeling will pass but the alternative won’t.
It's not a question of "depending on" Tik Tok. The Russians on the other side of the boarder can definitely go online and search for news they want to read.

But that requires an active desire to go find the truth. Such people already know the truth of the war.

But plenty of Russian citizens are just following the state propaganda right now, and are consuming zero information outside of it. If such people saw the reality of the war while casually scrolling through Tik Tok, that might make it harder for such people to deny what's going on.
I got "recruited" into a Christian church just a few years ago when I was in college. I was doing an internship over the summer so most of my friends were out of state and I was a bit lonely. I met a group of friendly people on campus, and we had a conversation similar to those described in the article, a lot of deep and personal topics.

I ended up going to their church a few times, but I felt weird about it considering I'm an athiest
I mean… aren’t their investors also guilty of some incredible malfeasance? It was pretty obvious from the outside Fast was kind of a joke: you couldn’t find their product in the wild even if you tried. What did those investors think was going on?
Mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the author might be alluding to the quickly-aging Mono implementation as that's common in game engines with C# support (e.g. Unity and Godot).
There's another one when you go to uninstall the application on Chrome - it asks "were you able to subscribe?"
I looked at a bunch of grid libraries a few months ago and ended up settling on revogrid. give it a look, it's fairly similar to ag grid, though I don't know much about its large dataset performance (my use case was getting a good user friendly editing experience for a smallish number of rows, at most a few hundred)
1. Yes; compared to ANC they will block out way more ambient highs, and maybe a bit less lows.

2. Some custom IEMs have an option to replace the driver with a passive frequency-neutral filter; I didn't see one on campfire's website. I'd ask customer service before getting the molds made.

BabylonBee is a recent example, and apparently Musk had a call with them prior to him making the free speech poll/twitter purchase: https://twitter.com/SethDillon/status/1511325246967660547 (Note: Musk has been on their podcast).

Likely BabylonBee still can't tweet (?), the offending tweet is still down: https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1505288002746175494, also this one is word-for-word the same and up: https://twitter.com/TheBabylonBee/status/1503825449285300228.

Hm. My dad is a US citizen, born in the US, but grew up in france before he came to live in the US and I think most people would consider him foreign. But I see your point.
I don't think so. He is bemoaning the lack of mutual authentication. Once the token is handed out the server has no guarantee on later uses it's dealing with the thing it's handed to, and in some ways worse on later uses the user has no guarantee it's dealing with the server than gave it to him.

Bearer tokens are no different to a password in that way. Netflix is currently battling shared passwords, and people regularly have their passwords stolen by a site impersonating the other end.

Invalidation is only useful if you know the bearer token has been stolen or compromised so it doesn't solve them problem. It's no different to demanding your users change their passwords after a leak has been publicised. And besides - it's already possible to keep a registry of invalid tokens, just a it's possible to set a "password must be changed at next login" flag, so invalidation is possible now.

But - the article seems to totally ignore the improvement short lived tokens makes to the situation. If the token only live for 15 minutes, the damage it can do is presumably limited. Still, the point remains - if you could replace a bearer token with something that did mutual authentication on every exchange it be much more secure.

Conceptually, it's not even that difficult. IPSec effectively does it now for every packet sent. You "just" need to build IPSec like mechanisms into every exchange. Actually it's not that hard - with a standardised protocol app developers could use it without much change. But there doesn't appear to be much movement in that direction.

Somewhat harder is "mutually authenticate with what". If the threat model is "someone hacks your computer, and steals the credentials", then it has to be tied to something unhackable that needs to be physically stolen to get any improvement. IPSec doesn't address the problem. Sure, you can authenticate against a certificate, but unless someone has going to the trouble of using a HSM that certificate is really just another long lived bearer token that can be stolen.

That can be fixed. One can imagine a person using a FIDO2 key to authenticate themselves, but all the FIDO2 key does is authorised the TPM in their device to act on their behalf for a while, and the TPM establishes a trust relationship with the servers HSM and somehow tying that all together so every packet exchanges is authenticated with that trust relationship. But now we are talking real complex multilayer protocols.

Such protocols would be far better than what we have now security wise, but it's a huge job. If mjg59 wants that world he would probably be better off doing some social engineering and collecting together a group to write a spec everyone can stomach, not whining about it on the internet.
Why does anyone think they deserve a right to privacy for their aircraft in flight? That is a ridiculous invasion of public space.

for context
Profit motive means that even if they do that now, they're incentivized to collect data in the future. From the standpoint of investors, leaving that revenue stream on the table would be dumb, considering every other company in tech spaces draws revenue from collecting their customers' data.

If a company is committed to never spying, then they'd have no problem making such terms contractually binding on their end. Companies that say they're against spying, but leave the option to collect their users' data open for the future, aren't really committed to not spying.
