There is a lot of suffering and misery in the world, with so many people displaced and torn from a community they can call home. When SSRIs were promoted with big science on the front cover of Scientific American with every doctor prescribing them, the world was still under that cloud of the Cold War. The world was as doomed then as it is now.

This also came with powerlessness and de-industrialisation. Job prospects were fine for the entrepreneur or for those willing to sell their soul, but it was not so easy to find a job where you would be doing positive to the world.

At the same time there was a lot to be cheerful about. For example there was the awesome rave scene that really did bring people together rather than atomise society. Progress in tech was also great. So much else.

The SSRIs were supposed to just dull down the spectrum of allowed emotion and thought. You could not let the state of the world depress you. Hence take the pills, be normal. But this would also turn down the dial at the other end of the scale, you could not live the time of your life, just go through the motions.

Parents could get worried if their teenagers were not taking their pills. They could also call their kids mentally unwell. Yet never have a sensible conversation about how bizarre the world is and why there has to be so much misery. There would also be expectations for the kids to pull themselves up by their bootstraps getting on the housing ladder by working hard and saving up. All of this with no acceptance that times have changed, the population is twice what it was and how property has become a speculative bubble.

Put together, it was one generation who had trashed the planet and let thousands of nuclear weapons proliferate telling the younger generation to shut up and take the pills. The whole thing was one of those society wide lies with very dubious science, even if they used big words for it to make it sound legit in Scientific American.

There are others like it, but this one is mine.
It does. But does it stress it more than charging to 100% then draining it to, say, 10%, then charging it again? Hence, racking up cycles at a faster rate?

I know it's anecdotal, but I mostly keep my battery-powered electronics plugged-in when possible, and their batteries tend to degrade much less over the years compared to a friend's, who tends to unplug them and charge them when needed. And the electronics in question are fairly similar: iPhones and same-gen Macbooks.

Same for my work laptop (hp) which, after 4 years, still has around 80% of its original battery life, when my colleagues', who use them much more often on battery, only last around 50% of their new condition, if they weren't changed because of swelling.

The one kind of battery among mine that seem to have shorter lives are camera batteries. Which, of course, tend to get drained more since I don't have an outlet handy when out in the woods.
Over 10% of the US population uses antidepressants. Numbers are similar for other countries:

Depression is a societal problem. Fixing it at an individual level is treating symptoms, not causes.
I don't think it's possible to tell if your or your partner's acclimatisation period and subsequent improvements were caused by the effect of the antidepressants or by a placebo effect
It just happened to me, where I added a "-word" term to narrow it down and the number of results increased somehow. That means that they're doing something behind the scenes that's not as simple as "remove all results that contain "word".
Yep. We use it self-hosted but the only reason for us to pay would be to import groups (instead of just users) from LDAP. Hate to say that (and basic stuff like enforced approval flows) isn't worth $19/user/month...

Unfortunately, they know this, and as a result they've actually been making more and more user-hostile changes (like bumping features up to higher plans, introducing virtually all of their new features as premium, and just generally ignoring their supposed pricing and monetization strategy in favor of $$$).
A ponzi happens when a return is promised, and then is provided to early investors from funds provided by later investors, rather from productive enterprise.

That’s an almost exact description of most crypto “projects” including the one referenced here, Axie Infinity.
Give me a plan that costs no more than $5/month and you can get some money out of me. I'm not going to pay $19/month.
Correlation does not mean causation-but it does not exclude it. Let's talk
Explanatory power is good if you're trying to understand where depression comes from. It's not helpful as a guide for clinical treatment of a person suffering depression right now.
This is actually my beef with almost all cool looking syntax color themes for sublime, they make comments fade into the background. And imho it should be the opposite, comments should jump out at you.

Shouldn't the solution strategy come after architecture decisions and concepts? I would think these would influence the solution significantly.

Actual defects aside, a lot of people buy Apple for the quality.

Whether those people are right or not, Apple is extremely good at positioning itself as the quality option.
You can't use sizeof in #if, but you can use C11 static_assert instead.

Also this doesn't just apply "in the future" -- integer types larger than intmax_t already exist, C23 just updates the standard to match reality.

I wish that was even close to the worst things about today's internet.
Pinebook Pro meets your criteria but I think you'd find it too slow. So you want an arm64 laptop that's also fast and with a decent amount of memory.

I wonder if we're at the point yet where I can use my phone with a foldable screen and keyboard as a workstation.
If we are speculating why Google is now caring to pay attention to user reports, I strongly feel such things usually precede a wave of user monetization.

I would not be surprised if the ads situation gets worse or some other egregious action takes place, as if to say, "Remember how we fixed search results for you? Well, here's how we plan to pay for it".
Istria is also very touristy.

Outside the ~4 hours I spent setting up GitLab (for the first time) 3+ years ago, I've spent an average of perhaps 10 minutes per month maintaining it (and the runner on a separate server).

> you just hear a noise. But the noise, it doesn’t sound — you can tell when you hear it, it doesn’t sound like it’s external. You hear it as a sound, it has a clear property, like a noise or a sound, but it doesn’t sound like it’s coming from around you. It’s hard to describe, but it’s real. It’s totally real

Sorry, but the whole story is far more consistent with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia than V2K (Voice-To-sKull?) or any other whacky technologies:

> Major symptoms include hallucinations, ..., paranoia, ...

Those wackos didn't even bother to gather wikipedia-level knowledge on what they're talking about:

Article > Basically, the biggest difference between mental illness and being electronically harassed is, if you have a mental illness it usually shows up throughout your life.

Wikipedia > Symptoms typically develop gradually, begin during young adulthood

How do such ramblings make it to the top of HN?
The responses to this are more interesting than the device itself. It's innovative, it's done by a brand that has a reasonable reputation for reliability and for standing behind their products and it may well fit a niche.

Innovation is always going to be risky, and Asus stands to lose some of their credibility if the device does not hold up over time. So I'll be more than happy to let them do their thing.

As for sustainability: all electronics that contain rechargeable batteries are in principle not sustainable and we all have one or more of those devices. Let the person who has never used a portable battery powered device cast the phirst phone.
I don't think it's in this release, but the Blender thing I'm most excited about is the new realtime compositor[0]. The lack of a decent Free compositor is one of the things that pushed me towards using proprietary software for video stuff, so it'll be great to see that gap plugged.

I have this mindset but the problem with it is that in my current life situation (working from home with 5 kids), the amount of work I have is unbounded. I am bad at taking time for high quality rest when I feel burdened by the chores I could be doing (which are endless and recurring) so I end up wasting time in ways that's not actually fun or restful.

We haven't solved the "bendable glass" problem yet, so foldable displays are made of soft plastic which is extremely easy to damage compared to the toughened glass you're accustomed to. You can put a permanent dent in them with your fingernail if you're not careful.
It's worth reading the article in its entirety because of how much information is summarized in one place.

> They also note that Kirsch’s study lumps all antidepressants together. This isn’t necessarily wrong. But it isn’t necessarily right, either. For example, his study used both Serzone (believed to be a weak antidepressant, rarely used) and Paxil (believed to be a stronger antidepressant, commonly used). And in fact, by his study, Paxil showed an effect size of 0.47, compared to Serzone’s 0.21. But since the difference was not statistically significant, he averaged them together and said that “antidepressants are ineffective”. In fact, his study showed that Paxil was effective, but when you average it together with a very ineffective drug, the effect disappears. He can get away with this because of the arcana of statistical significance, but by the same arcana I can get away with not doing that.

> So. In conclusion, everyone has mapped HAM-D numbers into words like “moderate” in totally contradictory ways, such that one person’s “mild” is another person’s “very severe”. Another person randomly decided that we can only call things “clinically significant” if they go above the nice round number of 0.5, then retracted this. So when people say “the effects of antidepressants are only clinically significant in severe depression”, what they mean is “the effects of antidepressants only reach a totally arbitrary number one guy made up and then retracted, in people whose HAM-D score is above whatever number I make up right now.” Depending on what number you choose and what word you make up to describe it, you can find that antidepressants are useful in moderate depression, or severe depression, or super-duper double-dog-severe depression, or whatever.

That is my issue with so many of Apple's features. Apple fans are so happy to shout "it just works. You just have to double tap, or three finger swipe or hold your mouse in the corner or press harder on the screen"

If the UI doesn't tell me about those hidden methods, then the feature doesn't exist.

This is defined by luminance. This is the 'L' in Lab and OKLab (and in their polar representation: LCH and OKLCH).
Fair enough; I had the mistaken idea that the two terms are interchangeable, but apparently stack smashing is only used for the attack involving the stack:

It's a bit more subtle than that; variables aren't volatile, objects are volatile. A volatile pointer is a hint to the compiler that the object pointed to might be volatile. If it can't disprove that "might" into "definitely not" then it treats it as volatile.
It's weird to me because so many of the commenters seem to take the author's point to be "no discipline ever" when she was actually talking about a very specific set of circumstances in which she considers discipline to be counter-productive. But almost nobody is engaging with that idea!
I would love to see this in combination with mental health. Dopamine, Serotonin and Cortisol are excellent trackers for this purpose.

No they cannot, at least in Europe. The outer dimension of trucks are regulated, such that street planners know what to plan for and truckers know they can pass a street.
What is "a local box"? It sounds like GP was performing a regular web search. Surely you don't mean you ignore quotes just because I put the name of a city as a search term.
I think this is too shallow a dismissal of innovation in an area so large that it spans 35% of the globe, and there are quite literally numerous existence proofs that it isn't correct.

The idea that all innovation happens in the United States and Europe is fairly ridiculous, innovation happens on all levels of product development, both deep in the guts of products as well further up as well as sometimes entirely new classes of products.

I think you should consider taking a page out of the book of Wordle and threemagicwords.app and at least mark correctly placed letters, even though the entire word is not yet correct. That would provide some kind of incremental progress, eg in the situation where I'm trying to guess "*ea*", which has the possibility of being tear, fear, teat, rear, read, lead, mead etc etc. As long as a correct dictionary word is provided, the user should receive some kind of reward.

That is the thing, I won't. Only a 2-4 months out of the year are hot here, the rest of the time it is colder. So in order to "get used to it" I would need to be year around, and to keep my home at 80 degrees' year round would be much more impactful to the climate than keeping my home a comfortable 70 in the summer, and then 65 in winter, spring, and fall

I work for Google Search. Yes, totally agree, it's weird when the count goes up. It's something I hope we can fix. But it's not because we ignored the - symbol. It's because the counts are very fast, rough estimates. And when you go into additional pages, we start to refine them. IE: we actually found more than the count displayed on the first page.
Micro-USB plugs are supposed to be designed for a minimum rated lifetime of 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal. My experience has not had one last even 2,000 cycles before becoming unreliable, even for cables that have always been used in ideal circumstances (gently plugged in, resting on a table). As for ones where the device gets used while plugged in, moved around, occasional lateral forces on the plug, well, they’re generally just about completely useless before 2,000 cycles.

USB-C plugs are supposed to be 10,000 cycles too. The A–to–C cable that came with my PinePhone was dead at the C plug end within four months of daily usage with occasional somewhat-stronger-than-ideal-but-not-all-that-excessive forces being applied. A couple of other cables haven’t had issues so far.

When they say 30,000 here, I’d be surprised to get 3,000 before significant problems are apparent, and wouldn’t be surprised if I failed to get 300. I like the idea and want it to work, but don’t expect it to just yet. I wish they’d focus their effort on having two separate screens with a small gap between them rather than trying to straddle the hinge, because that would be somewhere between almost as good and slightly better, and much more likely to be reliable.

This is still early tech. Early generations of mechanically-difficult things are generally terrible. I can speak to the unreliability of the Surface Book hinge: I had four units (19 months with moderate issues by the end (mild battery pillowage, screen yellowing, several split keycaps) that led to warranty replacement; 8 months then battery 2 spontaneously died; roughly DOA; two years before battery 1 died and it was out of warranty and after only a little more use it’s now pretty much a brick, can’t even stay powered on and significant pillowage on both batteries), and their base/clipboard, base/power and clipboard/power connections (which were basically the same interface) always became not completely reliable well within a year, though they weren’t particularly troublesome until maybe fifteen or eighteen months. I do acknowledge that I used this hardware fairly hard, but it was consistently well under a thousand cycles before at least minor issues in the connection were apparent, and these OLED hinges are probably even more demanding.
Spotify can not and will not ever offer DJ sets. SoundCloud is amazing for DJ sets.

Some artists offer their live sets on YouTube, and some artists stream on twitch, but nearly every set gets put on SoundCloud. The only other similar offering I can think of is MixCloud which never got off the ground in a similar way.

SoundCloud also similarly excels in allowing remixes without the red tape. I never had any goals of becoming a famous artist, but I did enjoy making some songs back in college. I even got good enough to have a few songs played in clubs. But they were all remixes of very famous songs that I never would have gotten clearance for or would have been impossible expensive for a student.

Huge artists like Jay-Z have talked about amazing songs they've had to leave unreleased due to in ability to get sample clearance. I attribute not really knowing or liking The Beatles very much because their music is avoided like the plague because they almost never get clearance to sample their music.
"Dr. Theo Schetters, a vaccinologist based in the Netherlands who has played a leading role in the development of a number of vaccines, has analysed the official data from the Dutch Government and found a very close correlation between when fourth vaccine doses were administered in the country and the number of excess deaths, as shown in the chart below. Importantly, in the Netherlands the booster rollout in different regions was staggered over a number of weeks allowing an analysis by region, which confirms the effect."

They also mention ADR (architecture decision records). Even if it’s yet another fad, most companies I’ve worked for really needed a framework like this.

I have only skimmed it so far but I’ll definitely talk to the managers and architects at my company about it. Any kind of formalization on this topic is greatly needed.
