Bullshit. It has been known for decades that it's not the serotonin levels that matter, rather, the various down/upregulation cascades that follows after elevating serotonin levels for a few weeks. We don't know the specifics, but SSRIs work for a large chunk of people. That's beyond questioning at this point.

Can you attack the root cause by means other than serotonin levels? Possibly, but that's the best we have for now.
I have very fair skin that's prone to burning. A few years ago, I got a mild burn on my shoulders. No blistering or peeling. The burn itself was hardly noticeable. Two or three days later, the itching began. It lasted 2 days.

It was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. It came in waves, every few minutes. There would be a bursting sensation, like something popping beneath my skin, and the itch would spread out from there. It isn't really an "itch". It's like there's acid slowly eating away at your flesh from the inside. You're scratching to rip a hole in the skin and drain this phantom liquid. When it comes, it dominates you. It's impossible to ignore. It was a pure, blinding pain. Each wave triggered this animal response in me. I would attack my shoulders until it passed.

Nothing I did helped, except for extremely hot showers, or slapping the skin hard as soon as the itch began. That also hurt, but the pain of the burning water and sting of the slap was better than the itch.

No one around me could understand what I was experiencing, which was infuriating at the time. I tried explaining it to my doctor, and he just calmly explained that itching is normal with a sunburn, and it would pass. Maybe take some Benadryl and try an aloe vera gel. My family honestly thought I was losing it.

Eventually it just stopped and I was myself again. I am terrified of ever getting burned again. I wear sunscreen every day, long sleeve shirts and jeans in the summer. People still think I'm kind of crazy when I tell this story, or maybe a giant baby who can't handle a little itching. I can't convey how it really was. By the end of the two days, I was seriously thinking about trying to cut the skin on my shoulders with a knife, hoping the pain of that would stop the itch.

How is Comcast worse? Their monthly cap is about 20% higher, and if you are willing to use their modem/router you can get add unlimited for around $11/month.

I'm guessing you are currently using AT&T's modem/router because you mentioned frustration that your router does not support throttling, which if you were using your own you could address by simply buying a router that does.

You do this by getting their XFi Complete plan. It's $25/month on top of your base plan, but it includes both the modem/router rental and unlimited so is only $11/month more than a non-unlimited plan with a modem/router rental ($14/month) on top of the base plan.
It's worse than that even. As soon as a metric becomes a goal it distorts the entire system. People optimize for the metric discarding anything else.

My understanding is that plants with cooling towers don't have this problem. The question is how expensive the towers are to build.

Also, some newer nuclear reactor designs don't have this problem as they would operate at much higher temperatures, therefore making air cooling possible (e.g. liquid salt reactors).
After that realization, I pretty much gave up browsing bookstores, long before bookstores "died".

That's defeatist logic. Sure, scaling with a single person doing it is likely impossible, but all of this reads to me as a bunch of technologists being utterly unable to integrate the human element into their systems. The conclusion is that a human aesthetic sense was needed -- first to filter dickpics and second to put together a gestalt page.

I can imagine ways to scale that, but it hinges on trusting the human element -- something technologists and investors are utterly incapable of.

It took me until the pandemic to find an exercise routine that worked for me. When it all started, I knew that I had to get a healthy routine put in place or the WFH was going to really wreck me. So, I googled around a bit, tried some exercise routines, and found a good one. I've been on it since and look forward to doing it about 3x a week. The key for me was pairing it with a favorite podcast. I can only listen to that podcast when I'm exercising.

The routine is called the 'Deck of Pain': Choose 4 exercises (push-ups, squats, etc). Shuffle a deck of cards and take one from the top. For each suit, you do one of the exercises chosen, the number of pips being the how many of that exercise you do. So, for say, a 2 of clubs, you do 2 push-ups. For a 9 of diamonds, you do 9 squats. Etc. You chose your own workouts. Face and Ace are whatever you'd like, I choose 1 as the Ace, and 10 as the Face cards. Go though as many cards as you can. Do you heard that? That's the sound of your soul leaving your body.

It's real hard at first. I'd only start with a quarter deck and be wasted. It took me ~9 months to be able to get through all 54 cards. After ~2.25 years of it, I can get through a deck in about 45 minutes.

Because you can point your subdomain to whatever support system provider you want on the DNS level and be done with it. No need for rules in the web server config.

- Not all companies care about SEO for their support pages.

- Having thousands of support pages can have negative SEO effects if you want only one single marketing page to be the top result.

Don't get me wrong, climbing can help you build muscle that's very aesthetic - arms, core, shoulders - but the "useless stuff" that people drop is what's useless for climbing, not other sports.

The conventional training wisdom (I learned about it from the Anderson Bros in RCTM, but others advocate it too) is to avoid carrying too much weight on your glutes/quads etc. I.e. skip leg day. So that's probably in conflict with also trying to maximize MTB performance.
We discovered that we were encouraging bad behaviour by providing exceptional customer support for many years. Despite us building a support portal and automating most of the tasks that customers asked us to do, users found that it was easier to just email us instead of searching for an answer or completing a form. This was unsustainable given our business model and pricing structure. As a result, we had to cut down on customer support which lead to a few unhappy customers, and serious bounce back of focus and productivity across the entire team.
> You can't normally hard link directories.

That's only to avoid loops, as far as I understand. Symlinks do allow loops, but require application programmers to handle them. So maybe we just need better APIs/API contracts around loops, rather than two types of links?

> If a file has multiple links, finding them all normally requires scanning the entire file system

Couldn't this pretty easily be solved at the file system level? Just store a back pointer from a file to each of its names.

The fact that it's possible to break symlinks very easily by deleting the pointed-to file (name) is a problem as well: Wouldn't application developers usually, or at least sometimes, want to know about the fact that they are about to break a link (or conversely, not deleting the final copy of a file and not just a reference to it)?

> So there are more reasons for symlinks than just "hard links are restricted to linking within the same filesystem"

I think this might be the only real (technical/historical) limitation. The rest could probably be worked around, but maybe having two distinct types of links, with these other binary decisions (allowing loops, making deletion explicit vs. a matter of referenc counting) being more or less arbitrarily bucketed into those two types based on what was easier to implement.

The goal of the Zig project isn't to get rid of that work. It's to make it easier.

ReleaseSafe is supposed to be the 'normal' way to compile (the same role O2 takes now albeit with a performance penalty compared to O2), with releasefast or releasesmall for those times performance is unacceptable and where you've satisfied yourself with the level of testing you've done.

The philosophy of the project is to build some of those static analyses and runtime checks that help fuzzing into the compiler and stdlib. And build a culture and toolchain where it's easy to start using the rest as part of the status quo (rather than them being the exotic thing used by weird people). Finally they get rid of some of the most egregious footguns ( ostly relevant to beginners), passing slices is much more ergonomic and less error prone for a beginner, the error handling is best in class, and there are optional types and less use of void pointers.

Of course doing the actual hard work is always going to be hard work. But you can turn it from hard and gruelling work where the majority of people have no idea of the things they should even be doing and where you uave to keep a laundry list of gotchyas in your head into hard but satisfying work that feels fathomable.

It's a different philosophy from rust, but one that is no less valid.
You're getting flak for this, but you have a point.

I wouldn't say it changes very fast. If you look at the language features in the past two releases they're all of the form "allow {existing feature} to do {thing you'd expect to be allowed}", and the library additions are minor.

But it changes often, every six weeks, where e.g. Python releases features only once a year. And it's common practice to install new releases as soon as they come out without waiting for distros to pick them up. That means software starts depending on new features in minor frivolous ways that nevertheless break the build for older Rust versions.

I make an effort to have my libraries support older Rust releases, but I have to go out of my way to check for compatibility. Not everybody does that, and it's unrealistic to expect everyone to—but with a different release schedule that would give fewer issues.
I do not have links handy but there are DLP solutions for enterprise tools like gmail, google docs, etc... They do not need to MiTM connections are the tool has administrative access to the corporate account. Many companies use these tools to check the box in their audits around data integrity and data exfiltration. This only works for corporate accounts. Most corporate enterprise cloud services have an API for DLP monitoring.

Personal accounts would require a going through a process for lawful intercept. I have no idea how formal this process is today or if Google even ask for a copy of the warrant. When I set up monitoring for cell phone conversations in the cellular industry, not at google I always had a copy of the warrant.
But that's the misconception, that car accidents/fatalities are somehow all unique and with a unique solution to be applied individually. In the end almost all of them boil down to the same few root causes: alcohol, speed, no seatbelt, tiredness, bad car maintenance, and a handful of others. So why 1% from 500 things, do you just want to prevent just a few accidents caused by speeding?

You don't need to fix 500 individual incidents but just a bit. You should fix one root cause. If your car won't drive faster than the speed limit for the area or the weather, if it won't drive at all if the driver is inebriated, sleepy, doesn't wear the seat belt properly, etc. then you prevent most of the accidents and fatalities.

So you don't cut 1% from 500 things, you cut all payments for a certain something you don't want.
It's a non-subject really. NPPs are technically very well able to function under such heatwave. Regulations limiting the upstream/downstream water temperature difference and the maximum stream temperature are the limiting factor.

Derogations are in place to allow NPPs bypassing these limitations. And tne allowed temperature increase is... pretty anecdotal. Typically, the max downstream temperature is increased by one (1) degree, and the up/downstream temperature difference limits stay the same, if not decreased [1].

What's sad is that the topic is waved by fear-mongering "ecologists" who are all too happy to showcase nuclear power under a seemingly bad light.

I confess to also getting bugged by the repetitive "speaking only in memes" phenomemon that seems to pop up past a critical mass of community size. Weirdly to me it seems like different ones go through different phases, but I haven't determined whether that's just an illusion created by my becoming attuned to one or another at various times.

One of the last examples I remember is about 18 months ago I noticed everyone, everywhere, as if coordinated by some unseen entity, started replying "oof" to everything. Maybe this really is just a variant of the Bader-Meinhof phenomenon (another one of "those little memes" you mentioned, heh).

> C++ trees are not cache-friendly

Agreed, they should use a B-tree to get cache locality and easy generics, but there is legacy code there.

I was referring to the performance of algorithms. For example `std::unique`, `std::lower_bounds`, etc. Many of these use sorted lists, whereas most other languages' standard libraries utilize hashing for these.

> is also comfortably ahead of something like std::lower_bound on a sorted array

I would be interested to learn more about when that's the case. But, it's also not very flexible. You can put an `int` in it, great. Can you put `std::pair<int, int>` in it? Does it work as well?

> If the majority of miners agree to it then the rest of the network either goes along with it, or they're forced to do a hard fork themselves.

No. This isn't even remotely how the technology works. If the majority of the miners right now decide to start doing something different, they have simply excited the ecosystem. The existing network of users and clients will continue to use the remaining set of miners without having to do any active work to switch to them. In the mean time, the majority of miners that decided to go off in the corner and play their own game are going to start seeing defectors back to the "real" network they left behind as they are no longer making money mining as all of the new Bitcoin they are receiving isn't honored by any of the exchanges or stores or users until they convince people to start switching... a process that, for similar reasons of users wanting their transactions to be honored by other users, can't be done piecemeal. The miners simply don't have the power you claim they do.
