I used to be very depressed. And then I tried all kinds of different ways to get better. Exercising. Eating different. Sleeping more. Various self help techniques. Volunteering etc.

Then I tried getting a job and that forced me to meet a lot of new people, challenges, develop new skills. And it sucked and I smelled like a kitchen.

Didn’t solve my depression.

I didn’t meet anyone I identified with until I was like 33, when I joined a high tech company where I interacted with a lot of very creative and talented people. Then I realized I was actually very unique and the people I got along with were extremely rare.

Later, I also realized after significant research that I was high on the Asperger’s type spectrum plus ADHD.I learned I have to seek out very complex and varied situations which were challenging and highly stimulating.

Suspect this guy is wasting away because he may be similar and just bored completely out of his mind. Unfortunately, life does not help you much.

If you feel happy programming in isolation or whatever, there is no one to kick you in the ass and make you leave your house and do things you don’t want to do. And maybe accidentally meet new people…maybe.

More and more it feels like you have to create some completely custom lifestyle, maybe travel to conferences, music and events or do something risky.

If you made the mistake of buying a house in some super boring location with nothing going on, and in a location where very creative, intelligent, talented and motivated people hang out - you end up like this guy.

I can’t judge, I have been there several times.

I realized: “you know what, I am not happy because I need to be optimistic or exercise or whatever…my life literally sucks, I have no friends and I have no idea how to fix it.”

If you are in that situation, you might need to spend six months or more getting out of it, move somewhere better, switch careers, get new skills, take risks. No amount of creative writing gets you out of there.
I don't like bezel-less. I have to carefully grasp my phone not to drop it.
Because the pricing isn't predatory, and doing it any other way would cost a thousand times more.
More income will result in higher expectations. Bigger house, more expensive car, branded clothes, eating out in fancier restaurants, etc. Some stuff you can hardly avoid like a mortgage.

I think most single people would have an easier time being frugal, but if you have a partner good luck with that.
And if you have children you are stuck in the ratrace to send them to the most expensive schools and out of school activities.

If you would earn 250k, would you live in a trailer and take the bus to work?

I can hardly blame people. We are constantly bombarded with ads to buy buy buy. Max out your creditcards, invest in crypto, buy a boat, buy a car, fly around the world for holidays.

Before you know it you cannot get out anymore, no matter what your income is.
>I don’t know what the author has against housing regulations but this argument is missing some part.

The missing part is that the Scandinavian countries are high income-countries and have a lower population density, e.g.:

- Sweden: 25.4 inhabitants per km2

- Italy: 206 per Km2

(Both according to Google).
I think I'm the same, I try not to list too much to stop spam. Professionally I do JavaScript/TypeScript and work with React so I write that.

I do like having a 'Familiar' section where I list languages I like to dabble with outside of work, generally where I can create a personal project but don't know the ins and outs. I find these useful to talk over in an interview as I don't want to come across as a very one-dimensional JS developer.
Is this some kind of sick joke I'm too old to understand? Ffs stop gluing together SQL strings! PHP had PDO for decades now, use it!

Oh but PDO doesn't support params in "limit" statement. Than make it support it! Improve PDO's support for "in" parameters as well so that I can pass damn array.

Hack add a "strict mode" to PDO that makes any kind of value in SQL invalid statement.

Running some magic AI than randomly blocks valid SQL is not a solution.
For loading the rag end of a string, the branchiness looks like

while (len-- > 0) { /* load */ }

or

switch (len) { /* 8 cases */ }

In the past we have made cities because of economy of scale effects, and because we are social animals. In the very past we have made them because we do not have had effective quick enough transportation systems, for defense, water proximity etc.

Nowadays at the actual evolution state, at the actual needs the economy of scale effects do not happen in cities anymore but in Rivieras, witch differ from USA suburbs because they are not residential-only areas but a mix of residential and work areas, a bit dense but not too much to have no room for evolution, not too low do have no benefit of density scale. That's is.

In the very past when cities were little and made of rocks and wood changing them was moderately easy and normally happen after a not infrequent catastrophe, now with concrete thing have changed much, we can't "source raw materials where we are, recycling the past mess" and that's another important issue: we know concrete do not last forever and we made big stuff with it with no real plan on what to do when will be time to decommission them. We allow keeping up crappy things because of someone interests against all others and again no plan how to sort the issue out. That's why not USA in particular but essentially all other the world we can't build.

USA have showed and tested why differentiation fails: suburbs fails because they are residential-only, you need a car just to get a bottle of milk. Cities fails because of density. EU give even worse example of dense-cities issues. BUT all other the world we see that Rivieras keep going. Surely they are not universal, we can't made a mining industry with that model. We need some "districts" but some with a single purpose, a single owner, aside that we can a day erasing them and restart over.

Such model is implicit in the Green New Deal, even if people, even UN New Urban Agenda deny it, we can evolve single-family homes with a bit of land around, we can't for tall buildings and dense areas. IMVHO the Green New Deal also tell without telling their "solution": pushing poor in modern cities who happen to be like prisons, of small size to be manageable, and live few wealthy aside. I doubt such model can scale, I doubt such "separation" can work in nature though...

Most of IHP is available open source and free. Like 99% of it. The IHP Pro features are mostly targeted at people making money with IHP (e.g. companies and freelancers). The idea is that the Pro plan provides a longterm incentive for maintaining the framework. When we make a great framework that creates a lot of value for developers, we will have a lot of paying customers. When we have a lot of paying customers, we can be sure that IHP will be actively developed far into the future.

Market Prices of Important Means of Production in Circulation, June 11-20, 2022
Looks a bit like the 'Netbook' form factor that was popular 10-15 years ago. One thing makes me skeptical when looking at the design: it seems like quite a lot of the hardware is packed into the 'display' rather than the 'keyboard' part (can't tell where the battery is from the pictures), which might make the base a bit unstable.
Do you expect 100% presence or are 2-3 days per week from home ok for you? I'd also never go fully remote but have found a hybrid model to be really productive.
> since you need both hands free to push the wheels

My niece was born without legs, and only one arm. She has a wheelchair that can be operated with one hand. It has the 2 metal push bars fitted to one side of the chair. The left bar is connected to the left wheel, the right bar to the right wheel. You can grab both with one hand. By moving both at the same time you go straight, or grab one ring to steer. It works really intuitively.

I believe this one-hand option was custom designed for her use-case (which would be about 30 years ago now), but since then many other people that have both arms tried her chair, and immediately contacted the manufacturer to order a chair with the one-hand option. AFAIK the manufacturer now offers the one-hand option on all their chairs.
Not exactly all capital cities. Renting (and buying) in Bucharest is very cheap for tech workers, while renting in Berlin and Rome and expensive even for tech workers.

And the issue with Berlin isn't that renting is expensive, it's that you can't find anything decent at all. Properties disappear off websites within minutes due to over demand, and then, once you finally manage find something, you have to do a visit with 200 other people with a folder in hand with a lot of your private information, and pray to your lucky star that you'll be that one in 200 people to get it.

Presumably also the Numenoreans had it. The description of latter-day Numenor reads like they were technologically very advanced. The question is how far, but it seems fair to assume there was a sharp drop after the Fall because of the colonies not being self-sufficient enough to maintain their tech level. If we consider the stories in the Silmarillon to be handed down orally, the most advanced technologies could have simply been left out or summarized as "magic". No point detailing them if there's nothing in the daily lives of your audience that is comparable.

I used it primarily as a great ssh terminal, better than any Android app I used so far (but ConnectBot is good). I worked on a Rails and on a Node app on there, fixed a server for a customer when in a hotel on the other side of the world.

I'd rather reverse the setup. Linux first with phone calls and SMSes, an Android emulator or whatever for the apps that nobody will ever develop for Linux (banking OTPs, etc.) But I don't feel optimistic. I think that the only reasonable chance is that today's hardware (which is good enough even for mid level phones) will get so cheap and firmware so available (FOSS or supported) that somebody will use it to make a decently sized and light phone with Linux.
> is it still subject to the database rights

Someone is creating a phone book as a service to companies.

Elsewhere, these companies are publishing their phone numbers to get more customers.

Then the phone book creators demand license fees anywhere these phone numbers appear in lists.

It's very dubious "database rights" come into play at all.
From the GP:

Moment Health solves hormones and health.

Keeping a balance of our hormones is such a critical component to our health and wellbeing.
Our Hormones function as messengers between body systems helping to regulate so many functions in the body from our physiology and behavior, digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sleep, stress, reproduction and even our moods. Everyone can experience a hormonal imbalance at some point in their lifetime. Disrupted hormones can cause weight gain, menstrual cycle disturbances, skin related issues, mental health issues and overall leave you feeling a poor quality of life. If you are experiencing hormone fluctuations, it may be time to look into hormone testing. It's important to note that all things in the body are connected. When dealing with an imbalance in the body a multifaceted approach is vital for the body to work in harmony with itself.

If you’re experiencing hormone fluctuations, it’s time to look into hormone testing. At Moment, our
experts guide and support you on this journey towards a healthier you. Hormones regulate everything in the body. Now it’s time to offer some TLC to your hormones.
Okay, but you specifically said:

Honestly you're lucky if anyone reads your CV. Standard practice for the technical interviews, i.e. where someone on a team somewhere is taking time away from real work to interview you, is for them to maybe spend 90 seconds, just 5 minutes before the start of the interview, to give it a skim

> or independent hosting, which both hurt a projects discoverability and ease to contribute

Yet it is the only real solution to not have a megacroporation control the public square for open source development. I hope that efforts to federate source forges succeed because moving to the next hosted forge with generous plans for open source developers is only a temporary solution until the owners decide that they need a return on their investment.
> lower birth rate in the numenorians who obviously have reproductive issues as mentioned in the books

I wonder if Elden Ring's lore took a bit of inspiration from this:

> The Numen are a race of beings descended from otherworldly travelers. Long lived and seldom born, Queen Marika the Eternal is the primary member of this race.
The original interpretation is, quite frankly, largely irrelevant, because the entire BoR was written in the context where the chief concern was guarding the rights of states against the federal government. With 2A, they wanted to make sure that the feds couldn't suppress state militias, as the British tried to do. When it came to the rights of citizens against their respective state governments, that was what the state constitutions were supposed to protect.

But, conversely, the very notion that the federal government would even be able to ban state citizens individually from possessing arms would be just as alien to the authors - the constitution simply didn't grant that kind of power to it back then, not even close.

OTOH the notion that the right to keep and bear arms was widely perceived as individual by the American society as a whole has solid historical basis. Here's one simple thing anyone can do to verify this: go look up the list of 2A-like clauses in state constitutions, along with dates they were adopted:

https://gun-control.procon.org/state-constitutional-right-to...

You might notice that the earliest examples often specifically talk about individual rights, e.g.:

“The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned” (Pennsylvania, 1790; Kentucky, 1792)

Such language becomes rarer over time, though, until we get to the end of the last century.

The Sony Xperia 10 III with Sailfish meets all of these requirements except eSIM. If you wait ~1yr, the next Sailfish phone should support eSIM. The Sony Xperia 10 III Lite is the first Xperia to support eSIM, so it seems likely that more models of the next generation will support it. Note that if you want eSIM because you really want dual SIMs, there is a dual-SIM version of the Sony Xperia 10 III.

An employer forcing employees to be vaccinated is nothing else as people may be dependent on the income. This is not an argument against abortion, it is an argument against "my body my choice" line. In the vaccination case that would be true but the discussion around abortion is the premise that there are two competing interests which the argument neglects.

The amazing thing is how well JPEG performs for something that is pretty simple and worked (although very slowly) on 1992 hardware. (I don't mind restart markers, BTW, but stuffing definitely was a mistake.) Look at the state of the art in video codecs in 1992 versus today, then consider that we still make new image formats that can beat JPEG only on PSNR (not perceived quality), or in very narrow niches like super-low bit rates. As the quote goes, “it's like alien technology from the future”.

JPEG XL appears to finally be getting there, with a meaningful improvement. But still nothing like 3x. Also perhaps AVIF, but current encoders have problems with rough texture on high bitrates.
I think a reasonable argument can be made that I should have taken that into account before doing something that destroyed their kidneys.

We are not, because he could also have had contact with particularly hot sauce, or an allergy, or an influenza infection, or covid, or early stages of worse things. There is a reason why we train medical doctors for years before they start diagnosing people.
Yes, sorry, that would be correct.

> When a person, or persons, decide to break the social contract, there's no telling to what degree they will exceed the boundaries of the law.

I disagree. if the above was true the mailbox baseball (remember, a federal offense) to mass murderer pipeline would be much better documented. Also, the vast majority of burglars are non-violent offenders, not blood thirsty home invading rapists.

> A criminal has already demonstrated that they are unwilling to be bound by the rules of civil society.

I think it's more that they're willing to bend the rules of civil society to meet a personal want or need, and they would most likely evaluate that as a risk/reward proposition like any other person does when entering into a risky activity.

>Are you willing to bet your children's life that their criminal behavior will be limited to that which you deem to be a nuisance, rather than your families' lives?

>I'm not.

Interestingly this is the exact conclusion that was presented to me the last time I had this discussion. And my response is the same now as it was then.

Statistically speaking you are much more likely to have a family member die from that firearm in your home you claim is there for protection when compared to the threat of the hypothetical burglar you are protecting your family against.
I also have the feeling (not SF) that traffic has returned to pre pandemic levels, but rush hour is much less severe. Probably because people also sometimes spend half days at the office or travel for leisure instead of work (e.g. leaving on a Thursday and working Friday remotely from a vacation home).
> It’s hard to take comments from someone who doesn’t believe in the Web or Web Apps seriously.

Ad hominem is not as good as argument as you want it to be.

If you start with ascribing thoughts and words to your opponent that your opponent never thought or said, you're not arguing in good faith.

> OWA was formed to ensure that mobile Web Apps become viable, if you disagree with that as the premise, all the best.

That is literally not what I said. However, you can't even see beyond Google's propaganda to understand what I wrote.
This was really good! I love it when someone looks at the status quo, and just goes "that's how it works, for this and this reason, but it's still not good enough!". Following that up with a trivial re-implementation of a core feature (the C assert() macro) that fixes the problem is icing on the cake, really.

It would be cool to add a feature to GDB to make the stock assert() work better, something like a "streamline-assert-trace" option that automatically strips the stack trace back down to the program's source. Doesn't sound completely impossible though I know nothing of GDB's internals.
Have you considered using "optional"? I feel that this would be a more natural syntax for joins. It could default to "left join", which is probably more frequently used than a right join.

from employees
join optional positions [id==employee_id]
--> LEFT JOIN

from employees
join positions [id==employee_id]
--> JOIN

Then you'd use "optional right" or something similar for the "right join" case
