I see that you are trying to argue with someone else through me, when I had to explain what they said to you
Hey, I've had this experience almost perfectly. It's brutal, it's called burnout, and it takes a while to recover from. Loosely, it's depression, but specifically within the context of your personal connection with work. I burnt out for the second time in March 2022, and it took about a year to start having the desire to code again, and another 3/4 of a year to find another job. When I get into this state, I almost always get terminated, so you might have that to look forward to, but it's a learning experience.

Step 1) Search "guide to burnout hacker news" and just read the recent or not-so-recent threads.

Step 2) Probably lower your expectations of yourself on a day-to-day basis. Do the absolute bare minimum to stay employed.

Step 3) If you can, see a therapist

Step 4) Forget about the game for now and don't guilt yourself about it. Realistically it probably wasn't going to get off the ground anyway, and consider it a learning experience. If you give it some time and want to come back to it, you'll probably have a renewed enthusiasm, but not if you just look at the source code folder and guilt yourself about it. Detach yourself from this idea—especially for those of us with ADHD—that you'll stay interested in the same things over time, or that you should. Let it happen naturally, explore some other ideas, technical or otherwise, see what does it for you if anything.

Step 5) Take a leave of a month if you can financially (but regardless of if your employer wants you too), and see if that changes things.

Step 6) Spend that month closer to nature

I was just about on the verge of burnout recently, but I just literally got on a plane and left. I risked my job to do that, team didn't like it, but I was risking my career yet again if I didn't do it.
I think solution could be some sort of government loan or subsidy scheme. Aim for some low level of profitability 2-5%. And make it low risk enough.
If we're going to allow magic in this scenario, I suggest that the woman magically give herself a tubal ligation and skip the patronizing medical professionals altogether.

You are a scholar, sir.

I ran the Google Cinema Club for 10 years, and I held up the flag for films like this. I'd rather show a good movie with lousy attendance than a shit movie that everyone likes.

I'm embarrassed to admit we only showed Wild Strawberries out of all those (many other Kurosawa flicks, though). Ran was just too long for a movie that started at 7:00 pm, while people had a last shuttle to catch.
Historically you just do debt reliefs every few hundred years and start fresh. Worked out pretty well so far (I would rather live now than any time before).
I can't speak to GP, but fixing property taxes is critical to solving some of the land price issues in Kentucky.

Currently, in kentucky, if you own a certain acreage (it's something low like 10) your property is taxed on it's agricultural value instead of it's real value. So you build a 2.5 million mcmansion on a 10 acre lot and you pay taxes on 10k in agricultural value instead of taxes on that 2.5 million.

All the huge property speculators own large lots in the big cities and they won't subdivide and sell to individuals because if they subdivided they would have to pay taxes on what it's worth instead of some ridiculous "agricultural" value. One of the big builders here owns a 300 acre plot in the heart of the city. They pay taxes on like 50k agricultural value instead of the millions it's worth and drive up the prices of other lots because of it. They can speculate at no cost.

Mind you, they sell the lots in .2 acre plots when they develop them and the new homeowner pays taxes on the full value of the plot + house.
> Feeling depressed sometimes is just the human condition.

Sure, but when we're talking about Depression it's about consistent behaviours and feelings over at least two weeks.
I mean, sure, I can deal with a day of suicidal-thoughts but having them over a month is not healthy and it certainly is not just "feeling depressed sometimes".
The antidepressants made me numb. I can agree with that. But that numbness was way more preferable than the mental anguish I had to go through.
People should have a voice and do have a voice. But there are guardrails called the Rule of Law. We literally have all of these things. Nobody is being killed for having a voice, everyone has the opportunity to run for office and if people like what’s coming out of their mouth they can donate.

We’ve had grassroots campaign after grassroots campaign for years now that are very successful.

In fairness you haven't ruled out all solutions, only the capitalist ones.
Not really. There is plenty of criticism of the amyloid hypothesis within the field, and even specifically of the oligomer variant thereof that Schrag focused on. You can even read that criticism in the link I provided.

Schrag's investigation did not (in my opinion) discover any fraud in the Lesné paper, even if the paper perhaps over-states its case.

The amyloid hypothesis has several very strong strands of evidence in its favor, specifically that it is (currently) the only way to reconcile the indisputable genetic and pathological evidence for mutations in the genes APP and presenilin both producing early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid is derived from the action of presenilin on APP.

Until an alternate way of reconciling this observation is found, the amyloid hypothesis will always have supporters.

> I would wipe my ass with my own hand

That's probably not the best of ideas, however the toilet paper frenzy is indeed extremely strange. If it was that crucial, humanity would collectively explode from all the stuff they could not push out of their asses before toilet paper was invented. Many times over. And it would stink to hell and back, too.
Sure there's an argument to tax real property, but the argument doesn't seem to attach to the policy goals of making housing available for ownership by prospective occupants.
> Also, I have ADHD. This is probably relevant, but I haven't quite figured out how

I was going to suggest it but you already know it.

I’m in the exact same spot as you and I I have yet to find solutions.

Anyway the first step you must take is to seek for professional help.
Pretty sure this is going to solve itself due to a lack of population (workers) in the near future, unless your country is mass immigrating to keep up with the decline.

There aren’t enough future kids for this scenario.
I think it really depends on the type of data and how it's used. Making an informed decision is helpful, but isn't a new idea. Using algorithms in my personal experience isn't always helpful, because assigning values to factors to consider, and how to combine those values, is often the most difficult thing. There's often factors we underestimate or overestimate the value we attach to them, and factors we might not be conscious of at all. Sometimes the algorithms can clarify things on our minds, and how we are approaching something, and why or why not our overall feeling about a decision might or might not correspond to the factors we're weighing. But in the end it seems like it often comes down to intuition and subconscious evaluations.

Sometimes I think there's too much focus on how to come to a big decision, and not enough on why some big decisions feel big and others not. That is, why are some decisions hard to decide and others not? It doesn't always correspond to what you'd think, and sometimes that uncertainty can say a lot. The cliche "not making a decision is a decision" is true, but I think it can be true in many ways that aren't appreciated. Appreciating the reasons why we have difficulty with some decisions can sometimes really get you far in coming to a decision.
> You'd think there'd be some similar studies done of the original result but that doesn't seem to have been the case or this fraud would've been discovered already.

As Derek Lowe says, this did happen:

> I could be wrong about this, but from this vantage point the original Lesné paper and its numerous follow-ups have largely just given people in the field something to point at when asked about the evidence for amyloid oligomers directly affecting memory. I’m not sure how many groups tried to replicate the findings, although (as just mentioned) when people did it looks like they indeed couldn’t find the 56 oligomer. And judging from the number of faked Westerns, that’s probably because it doesn’t exist in the first place. But my impression is that a lot of labs that were interested in the general idea of beta-amyloid oligomers just took the earlier papers as validation for that interest, and kept on doing their own research into the area without really jumping directly onto the 56 story itself. The bewildering nature of the amyloid-oligomer situation in live cells has given everyone plenty of opportunities for that! The expressions in the literature about the failure to find *56 (as in the Selkoe lab’s papers) did not de-validate the general idea for anyone - indeed, Selkoe’s lab has been working on amyloid oligomers the whole time and continues to do so. Just not Lesné’s oligomer.

In other words, the result was tried to be replicated a few times, and no one could replicate it. But the groups working in this space were already pursuing similar paths before this paper, and the results were taken not as a "target this one specific thing and you'll be golden" but rather "here's more evidence that targeting this class of thing is useful in this place."

I'll also point out that by the time you're talking dosage questions, you're generally tackling clinical trials (phase II trials are meant to establish the dosing regime), which is far downstream of work that gets published academically.
Car extras always existed, and they will always keep existing. If someone doesn't want to pay for heated seats, right now, the car manufacturer will ensure that the hardware just isn't there or is somehow disabled, even if it costs them more to ensure that you don't have access that extra.

As a second-hand owner, or just the owner who changed their mind later down the line, there is an obvious benefit to being able to purchase an extra without going to a dealership or a mechanic and incurring in extra costs in replacing the whole part – you really wouldn't bother for something like heated seats.

What the car manufacturer is saying here is that they would prefer to ship the extra part in all the cars because it doesn't cost them that much and letting the owner (or next owner) change their mind is an obvious benefit, but that if they're not allowed to charge extra for a part that they already shipped, then they will keep on ripping out or damaging the part before it gets sold.
> No more $2k cars that'll semi-reliably get you … to the 50-miles-away grocery store or Wal-Mart for your "big shopping" once every couple weeks, for the rural poor.

Recently I saw a video on YouTube about an impoverished depopulated Eastern European town where instead of having a fixed local grocery store, there was a truck that visited weekly. On the one hand, it’s sad to think of people being so remote yet dependent, but on the other it actually seems like an innovative solution to the problem.

> All I really look forward to these days is getting high and playing video games or watching Seinfeld reruns each weekend.

I'm not a therapist, but getting high might be interfering with your enjoyment of other things, since it increases your serotonin and dopamine levels to a point where enjoying other less rewarding activities (in comparison) can be challenging.
Another way to phrase that: marketing convinces you you have a problem so they can sell you the solution.

This is what I have issue with. Energy use benefits humanity. Full stop.

If you said civilization needs bananas to survive and flourish, then some good samaritan came along and said "I will always buy any leftover bananas you can't sell no matter where or when you grow them", you would get many more banana farms, people experimenting with new banana growing/harvesting technology, etc. It's an undeniable benefit if your goal is to produce more bananas.

That never stops being true, but we still make decisions and then work within the consequences.

Another issue I see is that many "regular" people have a lot of their money tied in their house, via mortgages. If housing suddenly becomes cheaper for whatever reason, so will their properties. I can see why the owners wouldn't want that.
Is this really a housing problem, or an income problem? I suppose a little of both, but I doubt we can build our way out of stagnating incomes over the past few decades. They have to be in equilibrium.
Is it colonialism when Mexicans come to America? Personally I'm happy our neighbors are here and I hope to see even more intermingling of Mexicans to America as we share a lot of cultural values and I see the Hispanic community as a source of enrichment to our nation. Mexico allows foreigners to buy property, and with a special bank trust even border property. Even going into ghetto areas of border towns I have been treated very well by the Mexican locals and they never treated me like they felt I was ruining their community by experiencing it with them.

Seriously, go to a border town and find a run down neighborhood, sit at the bar and have an abuela serve you up a cerveza. Then report back whether you are treated well or as a ruiner of the community. My experience in latin america is you'll be treated by how you act as an individual.

weed, adhd meds, you are scrambling and desensitizing the already compromised executive function center of your brain.

for weaning yourself off THC my strategy is to buy high-end CBD flower (online mail order in the US) and then taper my usage. At this point I am consuming about 1g of CBD flower every morning and loving it. Some vendors I like are holy city farms, beleafer and flow gardens.

Yes, the actual problem exists, and ignoring/discarding reality (i.e. the "science" in computer science) will just cause further problems. If you and your modern stack of code can't handle the leap second, it's simply not production code.

I see a rut as an ebb in this life, but it's important to ride it even though the way you ride it will be different than normal. It's also important to note that tons of folks feel this way because it seems like we're all just hoping for some precedented times...

Small changes in a few different areas, and at the same time, could spark something. New routine (sleep/wake time), a t-break (stepping away for a few weeks always helps me), a new hobby (a bike and some time to ride it), and even something as menial as cooking yourself a few meals can drive some fulfillment. Hopefully it can spark some creativity elsewhere like your game and your job. If anything, it will create a fun sort of experiment that you can move through and pick up small wins.

"Where do you even begin to have a conversation when you don't share the most basic of beliefs or values?"

We can share it with the tens of thousands of educated Russian opposing the 'special operation', with the thousands of Russians in jail for protesting. Even with the silent millions who doubt all the bullshit they hear but perhaps aren't going to die on a hill over it. They all grew up with the same foundational myths as the irredentists, they just chose to look further.

It's a mistake to essentialise a country as diverse as Russia but we can agree that it's also a mistake to assume almost everyone wants the best for everyone else.
While it is true that anyone saying at 22 that they know for sure definitely that they will never have children might change their mind, it doesn't matter.

We let people make all sorts of regrettable, life-altering decisions at 22.

At 22, you can be 4 years into your service contract with the armed forces. You could have already died or have been permanently disabled due to these choices.

At 22, you can be a few years into a college education in a major you now know you hate.

At 22, you can be 4 years into a marriage to an abusive partner. Or just an asshole.

These are just a few of the choices you can come to regret later in life. Choices that you cannot change. Choices you will have to live with for the rest of your life. That fundamentally alter all of the choices available to you later in life.

So why should potential regret stay our hand here? Yes, she may regret getting her tubes tied and making conception for her impossible. Oh well. Actions have consequences.
