I have a different example of Google not finding a page with "" that ought to be found. Assume I want to find https://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=18685, which is on a ~20 year old phpBB forum that is certainly indexed. The post is from 2012 after all. And I take one sentence from there and search for it, with quotes:

"Hast du besondere s9y eventplugins installiert?"

This leads to https://www.google.de/search?q=%22Hast+du+besondere+s9y+even..., which so far has only one search result, to http://sw-guide.de/2006-11/serendipity-plugins-seitenleisten.... Which by the way does not contain the target sentence, but that might be because the search moved over into non-verbatim mode.

If I search without the quotes I get more results, but I think not the target thread.

Admittedly, this is not "" not working by showing pages that do not contain the target keyword. But it is "" failing by the search not properly searching its own index.

What's going on there? Why is the index of a rather stale 20 year old forum not complete? The site is indexed in general.

Grand. So what you are telling me is that you've not experienced the sort of depression that makes some of this impossible, and you've been lucky enough that poverty hasn't kept you from doing some of these things.

And honestly, folks don't periodically up the dose as a matter of course. They do not always become ineffective. Heck, people don't always stay on them for years.

Yes, folks often have to try more than one - but folks also do this with migraine treatments and allergy medications and insulin (to a point). This isn't because the treatments are necessarily bad, but because we don't understand the reason for this difference and are still learning things about the human body.

We shouldn't wait for a perfect cure or a perfect treatment - imperfect relief is still relief. I'd rather have ibuprofen temporarily take care of menstrual pain rather than have to suffer through it until it can be cured or until there is longer lasting/better relief. Same with other things.

And as far as side effects: Since our cures and treatments are imperfect, we have to weigh side effects to the cure. Often, I'd rather not want to kill myself and I'd rather not be depressed, so some side effects are OK. The same with other things, though. I have MS. All the medications have side effects, sometimes serious ones. But they stop disease activity and make it much more likely that I'll be able to lead a full life with use of my limbs and sight. And folks do have to change medications for various reasons, but the drugs still help. I'll take it. Sure, I'd rather not have side effects but like I said, imperfect relief or help is better than none.
Yes this is actually the problem. In theory, once you have enough you just stop working and enjoy leisure for the rest of your life. This is why Keynes predicted a 15 hour work week, people are so obscenely wealthy they don't care anymore.

In practice, becoming wealthy is alost a social darwinist selection process where you need an extreme adaptation to your environment to end up at the top, anything less and you end up in the upper middle class at best. Once you have structured your entire life around becoming wealthy it is hard to quit.

This is problematic because human wants and needs aren't actually infinite. One workaholic can do the work of four people, making three out of four people redundant, but the workaholic would never give up the wealth he obtained this way, so three people end up unemployed instead of everyone working 10 hours a week. Because of this all or nothing mentality, everyone feels compelled to outdo the workaholic just to stay in their job, not because they actually need all of the money.

The absurd part though is that the workaholic blames others for not doing their share, while he himself insists on doing everything, in fact, he absolutely despises anyone taking his workload off his shoulders. Somehow charity i.e. doing others work for them turned into a one sided relationship where the recipient is now the sinner through no fault of his own. People start hating each other for no reason.
Being constantly charging is actually bad for the battery life. Being around 100% stresses it… so that’s why some Apple devices now try to determine how much charge is needed and keep it at 80% if possible

They reward the high-performers with risk-free, extremely attractive compensation. Very few people would be able to create value on their own.
Blender is the pinnacle of what Open Source software applications can achieve.

It started off with great features, but really difficult to use (for non artists), yet has gotten much better over time.

The number of features grows faster than I can think of uses for them, but it is nice to know they are there.
How to Stake Crypto
What? Smoking indoors is illegal in Germany, yet germans do it outright? This is a blow to the stereotype of the 100%-law-abiding-germans that I grew up with here in only-12%-law-abiding-south-america.
I'm actually being serious. I never thought that germans would smoke indoors if it became illegal. I mean, here in Brazil it's illegal (I think it became illegal in the early 2000's) and nobody does it.
> they can instantly recall Ctrl+R combo and just press it, without glancing down and coordinating between hand and eye to tap the icon

Interesting example, I can imagine something like an Ctrl+R combo to be a bit cumbersome on a software keyboard, would need to test it to be sure though.
Minimizing Gaps of Communication
This kind of comment is not helpful at all, I use Rust today however, yet I cannot sometimes deny, it's better to use C depending on the target and restrictions by hardware compilers.

Every language has downsides/upsides and time. There is a nice quote by Titus Winters: “Engineering is programming integrated over time”[0], this helped me a lot in learning that context matter for tools/languages/frameworks, and you can learn with their mistakes.

See, I've never actually heard about these sort of high rise mini neighborhoods here, I think we only have a handful of buildings that count as skyscrapers at all. Most building are actually 10 story or less and we have a huge amount of small terraced houses for one family.
Security as Code (2021)
It seems like you'd want more than 2 Ethernet ports for a router? WAN + LAN and you might as well use a direct connection.
Exactly, the fundamental assumption that I’m making is that all code should have the same level of emphasis — like a regular text — while maintaining the ability to scan for categories of words.

If someone disagrees with that assumption, the palette will not work for them.

> This latest research looked at 17 studies and found people with depression didn't appear to have different levels of serotonin in their brains to those without.

I think we are going no to look back in this and laugh and cry at how big of a mistake SSRIs were..

I think the body will find homeostasis. Artificially changing serotonin levels may have an effect for a while - but with continued administration the body will just create less naturally and become dependent on the drug for the remaining amount. So then after a while - everything went back to normal and in effect the only clinical result was a placebo effect, like the research suggests it’s efficacy is comparable to.

If there is some effect it is probably short term, which as the article points out, drug companies only like to study the short term effects (which still have debatable efficacy compared to placebo)

And what would this mean for the industry. They spent decades giving us the equivalent of sugar pills making billions of dollars. While we have already been in health care crisis.
I would argue that choosing a closed platform like GitHub where users must sign their data and more over to and which (a) has absolutely no provision for contributing in any way without signing up (and thus giving them a wider "user base"), (b) is an entirely proprietary, for-profit platform built on the backs of open-source, and (c) is owned by a company with such a long history of ill will towards open-source; is worse.

(Not that I think GitLab - at least in its cloud form - is much better, but alas.)
If your code is open source and matters at all, people put it on GitHub anyway. I refused to self-host any of my stuff on GitHub, but there are a ton of forks and mirrors of old versions there anyway (and then people get confused being unable to find the real copy because there seriously are asshats out there searching for code repositories exclusively on GitHub instead of Google).
If you make a personal post any response that disagrees or is critical can be framed as a personal attack and your admonition to either say something that agrees with the post or go somewhere else is against the rules as well.

Maybe the problem this person is having is that everyone around them is telling them what they want to hear?

What exactly don’t you like? Your comment doesn’t even make any criticisms. Do you not like I suggested that someone try being introspective rather than blame everyone else but themselves for their problem?
oh, I didn't see that byteswap wasn't in there. I googled the "stdc_" part and saw a paper that included byteswap. I guess that was an older draft.

Damn, so close. Well I hope it's included next time.
Brilliant, it even has GORILLAS.BAS and NIBBLES.BAS :)
I'm sorry, but then I don't understand the point of the original comment. As we agree, you can already buy a lightweight two-seater track car with very good performance for quite cheap. I understood the point of your original comment to be that with active aero devices we could now have something far more practical, like a Nissan Leaf, but still having very good track performance. If that was not the point, then what is the new thing you think is going to be enabled by active aero?
Why am I conditioned that anytime I see google post about something they’re doing for users, that it’s really something that benefits them behind the scenes.
> This means companies are being pushed to build more efficient things.

No, this means companies are being pushed to build the least expensive things, efficiency is just coincidental in some cases.

> Humans will fix sustainability issues automatically.

That depends, if you mean "eventually" I can somewhat agree with the argument but that's just a wishful thinking thought exercise. Eventually sustainability issues will be fixed because if not everyone will eventually die from the lack of resources, doesn't mean that the fixes are timely or with the least suffering that we as a species could be capable of.
Did you forget the touchbar or the “low travel keys” that break after a few months?

I feel apple lost the edge on innovation on the desktop space a long time ago.
To be fair, they don't just "reap the benefits". They are working hard at improving new technology until it is really a product. They have many prototypes long before the first product, but don't end up selling those prototypes.

I’m pretty sure other studies do find differences between SSRIs and placebo.

I trust Scott Alexander’s take on this: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/ssris-much-more-than-y... but the one-sentence answer definitely seems to be “it’s complicated”

One good quote:

> some people have decided that antidepressants’ effect size of 0.3 means they are “clinically insignificant”.

> (please note that “clinically insignificant” is very different from “statistically insignificant” aka “has a p-value less than 0.05.” Nearly everyone agrees antidepressants have a statistically significant effect – they do something. The dispute is over whether they have a clinically significant effect – the something they do is enough to make a real difference to real people)
Not sure you've spent time in too many suburbs but traffic tends to be minimal and the ubiquitous nature of kids means most drivers take some reasonable care.

No different than when I was growing up. Don't play in the street unless it's a quiet part (cul-de-sac's are great), or block it off with stuff you can move when cars come by.

I had great memories of living in the suburbs. I would rarely be indoors and had half a dozen friends within a minute or two bike ride. We'd hang out in parks, in front of people's houses, spend our quarters at the store buying snacks, doing kid stuff.

Old pre MS Skype was pretty amazing for its day.

In mid 2000s Skype was dominant. Pretty much all chat/talk flowed through Skype with corresponding interest in monitoring from pretty much any government.

There is a plausible conspiracy theory that part of why Microsoft bought Skype was to have everything centralized on US servers. Sort of devil's bargain.

I remember reading Microsoft's defense of centralization here on HN some years ago and it was extremely unconvincing.
We're talking about function inputs, not system inputs.
If you haven’t read about them, you might find evolutionary approaches to depression interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_approaches_to_dep...

For me personally, these models offer much more explanatory power. We don’t have to always view depression as a mental illness.
I also don't watch ad supported TV. T-Mobile has a promotion where you can get free Paramount+ with ads. I tried the free offering for 2 hours and I said forget it and upgraded to the ad free tier.

The only time that ads don't really bother me are the rare occasions I watch sports. The breaks are more natural.
> if you have a mental illness it usually shows up throughout your life

That's rubbish. Psychotic illness (and these mind-control delusions are suggestive of nothing so much as psychosis) generally kicks in in the early 20s. Sometimes it's triggered later in life by some traumatic event.
> You know what would be fucking incredible? If he had taken the opposite stance and put his money where his mouth is.

That is one thing I really enjoyed about George Lucas v Marin County.

Lucas bought Grady Ranch to build an extension of the nearby Lucas film studio. Following the backlash he decided to develop the property (zoned as residential) as low-income housing, paying for it out of pocket (after 3 years getting the runaround from housing grants and regulatory boards).

Sadly a decade later the project is still blocked by Marin NIMBY.
Given that weird platforms are so dependent on C and since we release versions so infrequent, we try to get it right the first time. Often even defining what is excluded becomes complicated.

Interesting.

I'd be all up for a low-cost, IKEA style house (in my locale the cost of the building is a small fraction of total cost of property in a city anyway). If nothing else, construction work is such a gamble, the variance of outcome of quality is enormous.

The thing that hampers it, as far as I know, is generally quality constraints. Pre-fab houses just tend to be low quality. This is in part self-selecting, there is a stigma to a "pre-fab" or "portable" home, but in part also that somehow building prefab houses to a good standard is hard. I don't just mean colour and feel, but just basics like "not leaking".

The staple of Eastern European bleak suburbs, the high-rise apartment buildings, were all built out of prefab components. These were built in central locations ("home factories"), transported and only assembled on site. These were certainly not created equal, and customer satisfaction wasn't high on the requirements list, but they generally suffered from this kind of problems (leaks, poor quality plumbing / gas connections etc.).

I wonder how this company would tackle these problems.
It isn't the same though, since trying to move the cursor down moves your finger off the touch screen. You can only move it down one line at most, and not reliable.
I feel like depression is the result of some people's life situation. They work a lot, have little to no friends or family, come home to a depressing little apartment and play video games, etc. Of course life is going to be unmotivating. I think the disparity between the "antidepressants work" and "don't work" crowd may be explained by this. Some percentage have a chemical imbalance, the others just have a life that is depressing.

They will give you antidepressants if your spouse dies, but can you really say that person is mentally ill beacuse they are sad? You'd be mentally ill if you weren't sad.

The market for buying small companies like Right Stuff Inc. is small and very particular and peculiar.

To sell it to anyone else but a large or giant company like Sony/Crunchyroll is going to be hard as I said. For what we as consumers would like you'd need to find another otaku or group of them who are wealthy and/or trustworthy enough to pay in installments out of ongoing gross profits, and you'd have to trust their business sense.

You'd want someone like my father to do some of the footwork and all of deal making to avoid distractions from running the business and lowering its value. Or you have to find an interested big player of which there just aren't very many. And here this clearly fits in with Sony's previous actions in America like buying Funimation and Crunchyroll, but unfortunately they're likely one of the worst case buyers.

From the viewpoint of the owners, Wikipedia says Shawne Kleckner who's still with it is 50 and the company was founded in 1987, 35 years is a long time to be running a company. Wven if it started out as a shell to buy and resell telescopes, pretty soon they started bringing the classic Astro Boy to the direct to home market and in due course became a competitive general mail order reseller as well as localizer. When TokyoPop nuked their reselling arm after Y2K they became the highest profile one as far as I know, not counting increasingly untrustworthy Amazon. Which Right Stuff regularly also uses as a platform while doing their own fulfillment.

Just get a Thinkpad. They have all the features you want. They're not going to be as thing and light, but their keyboards are better than anything out there. The touchpad is iffy, but if you're using Linux (I use it too), your touchpad experience is going to be subpar anyway.

SSRIs (lexapro) saved my life. 6 years of depression effectively gone in 2 weeks of starting. Literally night and day and I tried every non-medicinal intervention that you could imagine before taking the plunge.

I don’t care how it works but I will never stop taking it.
I have a lot of projects from >10 years ago which are mature, stable, used, and the only time they see active development is if there's a breaking change elsewhere (a lot of them interact with other tools).

I also have some amount of open science stuff. I count on github / gitlab being archival for things like archiving how I process data in some piece of research.

Literally all I really need of a git host is to support the git protocol, and to keep stuff around for me forever. I appreciate having pull requests, conversations, and what-not, but the #1 requirement is having my stuff there, reliably stored, and available to the world.

I'll mention: I don't blame gitlab for a decision they didn't make. If you've ever worked in a corporation, you'll know a lot of stupid decisions ALMOST get made all the time. gitlab tends to be more open than other organizations, so we see the inner workings. I've always seen them pull back when a decision is particularly numbskull.
