I can tell this thread is going to be a nightmare but whatever I really want to share my experience in case there are people similar to me that need to hear this: I cannot emphasise enough how much Escitalopram (lexapro) has helped me with issues I didn't even know I had until I started taking it. At which point I realised I was living in a constant state of anxiety up to that point, and I probably should have been on it a long time ago, but I never ever thought I reached the criteria for being "medicated" so fwiw I think it's also possible to underrate your own feelings and think you don't need them when you do.
I like that it also shows the channel the match is being shown on. Looks smart.
I would guess they were spell-checker-corrected, and meant "data" both times: the sentence makes sense with either, though "data" is obviously what makes it make sense in this context :)
IIRC, ICBMs also use starlight navigation.
Diagnosing every child who is bored and not paying attention with ADD and putting them on drugs is trying to shift blame from teachers and the education system to kids.

I didn’t say ADD/ADHD don’t exist. I said it’s over diagnosed. We just like to label kids and tell them they are broken and needs drugs when in reality most kids are bored of the sterile environment of learning with the dumbed down education system that teachers are forced to adhere to because acknowledging that not all kids learn the same way as other kids is too hard.
I work on iSH, which is in a similar product area. The thing is that by all intents and purposes the environment we give you is terrible: you have a software keyboard, and navigating around and typing is pretty bad. But we have plenty of users who love it and use it really heavily. Why? A lot are children who have phones but can’t always access a computer. Some people want to code on the go. They’re really doing it out of necessity when they don’t have another device, not because the experience we provide is good. There’s definitely room for improvement but I doubt using a phone will ever be as pleasant as using a computer. And that’s fine.
I'm a bit nervous about these articles clearly centred on the USA which seems to have an epidemic of private drug companies pushing all kinds of stuff via doctors who may or may not be getting backhanders to push certian drugs.

I'm not saying this isn't partially true in Europe but the USA definitely comes across as choosing drugs as the first resort for many things that you wouldn't in Europe.

Also, as many have found out, Prozac is cheaper than therapy or CBT which is what some people might benefit from to actually help them resolve the vicious circle of depression.
When opening article, I was thinking: hey, maybe they introduced some compile-time checks for this special exception type? Like switching non-exhaustive list of enums and default:ing with UnreachableException... Errm, maybe not.
I'd argue the "tech" part has been the problem.

What I want (and I'm not alone) is a regular car, that's electric, safe and preferably 4wd. I don't want an iPad with wheels which will be dated in the near future. I was more than happy having a phone or tablet cradle in the car.

DirectX is (and as far as I can tell, always has been) free to use by anyone.

Which part of DirectX would you like them to open-source that would improve accessibility?
Thanks very much.

How to check if any word is zero (2021)
Very, very similar to my experience. I'm now approaching my mid-30s and under investigation with my therapist for ADHD.

School was always a breeze, I would get hyperfocused during classes paying attention to instructors and content but could never, ever do homework. Any kind of school work outside of school hours was a struggle. Still managed to be always on top of my classes.

I never actually learned how to learn, studied statistics in university and was hit by a brick wall on how to actually learn things which depended on more than just passively absorbing content...

To this day I don't believe I have a decent strategy for learning, it's a very scattered approach where I dunk into the subject from multiple angles and slowly build a mental model based on the patterns I see repeating from multiple sources. I'll start with an introductory book to gather an overview of the subject and then will jump in between other books and more advanced sections to see earlier concepts already applied and then backtrack to the gaps I see missing in my knowledge.

Somehow this way of learning is much more motivating to me than simply parsing through a linear approach of theory building. Whenever I try to go front-to-back with a textbook I get terribly unfocused.
This seems the perfect use case for letting a secure BitTorrent tracker share the lists, then either implementing the client in the browser, or having it as a system service that syncs the necessary files.
Correct. And let's not forget that the company which owns them would also like to see EasyList die in a fire.
"In fact, for most situations you do not want an AI, because you want to the software to behave predictably" is very good statement that very very often is skipped from discussion.
Thank you.
I think antidepressants are getting the spotlight because some (many) were approved with only a slim <10% improvement over a placebo... I think the same could be said about the congestion medication phenylephrine [1] (edit: added specific drug name. edit 2: added link)

I get the feeling that drug approval laxed for a good while and let these slip through

Interesting... few suggestions, you should op better UI, I can barely see contrast between the images and background on my smartphone.
I appreciated parents comment because it points towards an interesting direction. No one is forcing anyone to use this tool, no one is forcing anyone to steal their food. In terms of individuals acting in line with expectations, the individual poisoning their own food as a trap shouldn't inconvenience anyone if everyone's being civilized.

Providing a service (which you expect others to consume) and then not only deciding to refrain from providing, but "poisoning" the output, is an interesting move. We don't consider them equivalent, but in a case where this application was providing some essential service that is not easily replaced, and physical harm was a result, how do we consider it?
With a line, in the worst case you have to travel 170km.

With a circle, in the worst case you have to travel 85km.

That's it.
Turn right on red kills cyclists and pedestrians. It was always unsafe but the introduced it in the 1970 during the oil crisis with the idea that there would be less idling on red.

In most cases you shouldn't even need traffic lights at all but there is certainty a lot you can do with traffic lights if you optimize them, there are lots of videos on this from the Netherlnads. There they have separate sensors for different transport modes and also multiple levels so the intersection can respond smartly based on lots of info about what is coming from what direction. It can also let people cross half the road to the protect middle in a smart way. Forcing to press a button is horrible design!

But this is just one of many tools. Having flat bicycle and pedestrian ways where cars have to go over bumbs. There are many methods that are used.

The most import one is just slowing cars down cars.

Netherlands deliberately bans cars from some streets to kill certainty routes completely and forcing people to take different longer routes. That means also less cars on that route even in the parts that the car could have taken.
The group by behavior is useful. I wish Postgres did that.
The image has a small mistake. The king of spain did not buy the title. Andreas gifted the title of sucessor to the Crown of Spain, after failing to sell it to anyone on Italy. Spain still owns the letter but has never officially claimed the title, so technically still in hands of the Crown of Spain and not the family that ended up dying. the current Borbon family still owns the title (technically, I guess).

Though through weird buying shenanigans they do have the title of Kings of Jerusalem, they conquered Naples after they had bought the title to the last heir of the kingdom.

Honestly kingdom titles being bought all over medieval europe is kinda hilarious. After centuries of bragging it was god given, you end up with a dude waving a paper saying you can be king by buying it off him.

Like the original selling people a star that is now popular online, a proto nft having the receipt of a kingdom
> Even in the Catholic Church, the longest unbroken chain (i.e., for which records survive) of apostolic succession (i.e., which bishop consecrated each bishop) goes only back to the 1400s

Our (Episcopal) parish used to have a small framed "genealogy" that purported to trace our diocesan bishop's consecration lineage back to St. Peter. I was always a bit skeptical.

Tangent: Some Roman Catholics would flatly deny the validity of any Anglican ordinations post-Henry VIII ....

That's what I meant, it's buried in a config file. Not one of those things that should be surfaced in the UI that opens it up to abuse.
I think this article portrays a lack of understanding of conversational dynamics based on my experience with people.

Interruption isn't black and white and to me there is nothing nice about people who interrupt by default. Still I usually don't don't mind interruptions when in a friendly brainstorming or casual conversation with good people. But the interrupter has to understand that he's interrupting and do it in a good way.

But things like interrupting and going totally off topic, interrupting to argue or interrupting when power dynamics are at play is entirely a different beast. I feel like the first version I mentioned should have a different name than this one.
Is this at all like RDS-TMC?

>Is there really a need to improve (=change) them?

Yes, there is. They offer a specifically degraded perspective into the past - namely, the loss of color. I do appreciate them as they are, and I also think that the effort to use them as inputs for current technology is also very interesting. I think that seeing these photos, the past in color, helps to humanize the subjects of the photo, and see them, and their environment in a more accessible, realistic way.

I'd like to present this collection of real color photographs that date far back - I think they are really interesting to look at, because we're so used to the black and white version of the clothes, technology, buildings from back then.

unless they have changed something, any income of TDF is NOT used for development purposes regardless of what they market. TDF only provides accounting/admin/conference stuff. the bulk of development work is done by volunteers or companies.

So i will ask again, will the corpus available to them be used to pay for actual development work or not?

Triple buffering does not inherently introduce any latency. It's a technique of using more memory to smooth out synchronization issues.

Single buffering: You're drawing pixels directly on screen. Problem: Drawing isn't instant across whole screen, so human eye sees a blend of old and new image (and since screens draw top to bottom, this produces a horizontal "tear" somewhere, thus "screen tearing").

Double buffering: You're drawing pixels on a hidden screen while the previous image is displayed, then flip screens. This flip action is so fast it's practically instant, so tearing is solved. However, screens can only flip at set intervals (refresh rate). Problem: What if your drawing finishes even a little bit late, just after refresh rate sync? Now your program has to wait for the next opportunity to flip, which just makes everything hang.

Triple buffering: 3 is the magic number to fix all these problems. You always have two virtual screens to flip between, and a third one you can draw to regardless of flipping.

That has been true for as long as I have been programming. But:

Similar statements have been made about high level programming languages. Nowadays most devs don’t understand how the CPU works, but write on the top of a tower of abstractions and nobody bats an eye. Many of those abstractions are quite complex!

I can imagine that the same could apply to certain kinds of network activities. Look at how ppl use http as a magical secure and robust inter process communication channel with no understanding of how it works at all.

Lambda is a half a baby step in this direction.

Another problem is tollbooths. The phone system uses a lot of bandwidth simply to charge the customer money. My phone company charges me overseas rates if I make a phone call outside the country, even if both endpoints are using WiFi, not the cellular network! I’m afraid of the same with fine-grained and abstract distributed computing, but perhaps the magical hand wave abstractions I posit above can help.

This tollbooth nightmare btw is the dream of the web3 bros.
If you were trying to get something done you probably just didn't pay enough attention to what you were doing, and you forgot about it. It could have been years ago. I don't think it's all that strange: can you remember everything you ate in April?
Me too! I used to be anxious about everything going on in my life. When I started Lexapro and it finally started working, I realized, "Wow, is that what normalcy feels like?" It's been a lifesaver.

I think you misunderstood what parent was referring to. The idea was to poison the block list so that any browser matching their criteria (user agent belonging to DDOSing browser) would block everything.
Then you flog mercilessly people in your organization who write code like this. When I was coming up, the greybeards were bastards, but they taught me the right way to go about things.
Of course it makes military sense. Attacking supply lines and civilian infrastructure is one of the oldest military tactics that exist.

The line of argument against that is obviously "but Hitler tried it in Britain and it didn't work", but for the majority of history it did work.

When electricity is disabled, civilian life takes a massive hit. As the OP shows in his post, modern cities don't work all that well without electricity. And remember: Food for the soldiers, heating in their army base, etc, all run on it. So with winter approaching it will most likely be very uncomfortable, as the heating requirements are obviously magnified.

Of course, there is an option to mitigate it: oil/gas/coal. Where will the civil society get this oil/gas? Fossil fuels are probably the one thing that NATO cannot supply this winter(remember that Ukraine was until recently exporting energy to Europe, namely Poland), given how horrible the markets are in general. And remember that any oil that is used to heat something could have been used to fuel a tank.

To summarize, there are very real reasons to bomb civilian infrastructure for a military goal. The civilian society is the one that supports the war effort and provides the army with a lot of stuff they need to fight, and in the modern world civilian society needs electricity to run. Given that Putin is now resorting to such tactics, the next step for him would be openly bombing electricity lines and railroads.

NATO has to take these attacks very seriously, in a military context. Don't know how they will do it but they need to figure out how to get Ukraine electricity this winter.
I guess he is trying to say: use existent gas stations and/or we might be able to capture all the CO2 therein. But I am not gp, obviously.
Agree with other responses. Maté's book, as his other works, resonates intuively - a humanistic shout in this cold and sick world.

Things are however more complex. He gets a lot of publicity, eg with recent Joe Rogan interview clips on the topic being spammed to me by YouTube's rec engines. Mental health issues are something that many people take intellectually lazy stances, to one direction or another, and this is somewhat worrying.

This book is 20 years old. I'd imagine the scientific & clinical understanding of ADHD has progressed since. Opposing views are of course important for progression, but I'd like to understand his thinking in wider context of psychiatry. Would be interesting to see a dissection of his ADHD points, carried out in a rigorous way.
Testing and counseling for Tay-Sachs is not the same thing as attempting to breed abstract desirable traits, like general intelligence.

Again: there is no major controversy over things like the former, and that’s not what’s popularly understood as eugenics. So it’s not clear how it rebuts the objection to what we’re actually talking about, which is the West matching the (potential) reactionary eugenics of China.
Why can't our programs be dead but our tools alive? Having a static and full world view allows your tools to do a lot more. An alive and very dynamic program allows you to run fine-grained strands of control flow, a dead and static one allows you to run coarse but large amounts of strands of control flow. Let me ask more complex queries, don't give me this hand-rolled LSP crap.

Here are some things that I've done/found out manually that I want my IDE to do for me:

1. General inter-procedural analysis queries:
- Does anyone pass in null?
- Is X set in each path that can be taken?
- Take a theory, for example numerical ranges, what can you tell me about this function?
- Is this probably a hot function?
- Are any of these sum type ctrs unused?

2. Show me counter-examples of things I believe about the code, don't force me to find them myself.

3. Predictable, but non-standard (not pre-rolled by IDE), refactoring. I had to grep and do an Emacs macro that went through the list of matches, one execution at a time. Why can't the IDE record my actions, show me the AST transformation that I did, and let me apply them for some qualifying criteria across the whole codebase?

4. Let me apply semantically equivalent code refactorings within a function by picking cost-based heuristics. For example, "flatten indentation levels".

5. Do coarse-grained semantic analysis for me, "are these the same on a type-level? OK, now apply this theory, still the same? Aah, I'm about to go for lunch, just run the whole analysis".

6. Let me save any thing I've done, so that I can use it in the future

Something like that, that'd be great. I have 128GB of RAM and like 64 CPU cores and I'm using my brain on this 1M+LoC codebase while they sit idle. Lazy bums, I tell ya!

It’s not clear what your story has to do with anything?
It can on one hand be argued antidepressants aren't necessary for anyone. You can argue that and be correct. This is because antidepressants don't actually cure depression, but lessen the symptoms and enable severe depression to be cured through behavioral changes.

It's a line of reasoning that is technically true but really sort of missing the point.

The problem with treating depressed people is to get them to actually do the things that will help them. That can be incredibly difficult without medication.
Same here! I was like “wow, this is what it’s like to not be so cynical and defensive and anxious all the time!”

I lived like that for 15 years :(
I intuitively believe that free will is incompatible with determinism. This seems to be a very divisive issue - many people seem to strongly believe that free will is either an illusion or readily compatible with determinism.
Or you of train lines have opposite ends being disconnected. Why is that a problem?
Pretty short article, this quote sums it up: "When the results of all trials submitted to America’s medicines regulator between 1979 and 2016 were scrutinised by independent scientists, it turned out that antidepressants had a substantial benefit beyond a placebo effect in only 15% of patients."

It's unclear what paper they refer to, as it is not linked. This article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK361016/) has many citations to papers that cover this stuff. I think the important take away is in "Antidepressant drug effects and depression severity: a patient-level meta-analysis" (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20051569/):

"Results: Medication vs placebo differences varied substantially as a function of baseline severity. Among patients with HDRS scores below 23, Cohen d effect sizes for the difference between medication and placebo were estimated to be less than 0.20 (a standard definition of a small effect). Estimates of the magnitude of the superiority of medication over placebo increased with increases in baseline depression severity and crossed the threshold defined by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence for a clinically significant difference at a baseline HDRS score of 25.

Conclusions: The magnitude of benefit of antidepressant medication compared with placebo increases with severity of depression symptoms and may be minimal or nonexistent, on average, in patients with mild or moderate symptoms. For patients with very severe depression, the benefit of medications over placebo is substantial. "

Short version: if your depression is mild, antidepressants may not work better than a placebo (though placebos are not exactly nothing). If it's severe, there is more of a chance it'll really help,

From my personal experience, I can definitely attest to them helping, though they are not by any means a magic bullet.
I think that the filters, HDR, or the guesswork restorations of old media are similarly life's imperfections - just that the life is more current, compared to the original date of taking these photos.
I'm originally from Brazil and can attest to that: Brasilia as envisioned is a failed project.

It moved the capital far away from any population centre making the disconnection between central government and the people much larger. The city was designed with a vision of each city block providing all the basic amenities needed to live in the block: shops, office spaces, apartments, etc. This plan was scrapped by the military dictatorship ending with the city having pretty massive blocks where you need to travel long distances to do anything, it became a nightmare of traffic as it wasn't planned that people would require traveling all the time.

Like you mention, the only real reason there's a big population there is due to being the capital, all the bureaucracies of the State reside there and the cascade of employment created by that is basically its whole economy. As a Brazilian there is no reason to visit Brasilia except if you are dealing with the government (or feel like you need to see the capital's architecture for its own sake).
