Notwithstanding the particulars about serotonin, I'm not disputing that brain chemistry balances might be heritable to some extent, like height. But "depression" is a downstream phenomenon of one's brain chemistry interacting with their ecology.

Here's an analogy: If I took Nordic people and gradually shrank the architecture, chairs, and desks around them across a few generations, such that most would have to unnatural bowing of the head and curvature of the spine, they would experience enormous agony - back pains, neck pains, etc (like "depression"). They would even correctly identify that they are suffering due to a genetically inherited length of their skeleton. Now imagine that in such a world, the "medical solution" is to remove a couple of vertebrae to make them shorter or take some pills that anesthetize the neck muscles. Let's even say all that happens without side effects. Many a patient would be happy for the agony to go away.

And yet, I still think this is completely the wrong approach. I have deep compassion for depressed people. I believe they should be very careful trusting a system that "shrunk the architecture" so to speak and offers a form of brain chemistry interference as a "solution".

In my opinion, depressed people should attempt to remember that it is almost mathematically impossible that they are the descendants of dozens of generations of depressed adults. They would be far better served, in my opinion, to try to recall and recreate the ancestral adaptive environment (the bigger chairs and taller ceilings).
Are you from the US? Never thought anyone would drive them over there because they tend to need repairs quite often and not every shop wants to work on them. And also the thing with the spare parts.

I got a TD5 though, so a bit more modern ;)
Thank you. Any help for insomnia or overeating?
I used to run NoScript back in the day, but way too many websites are just beyond broken without JS. I'm just not going to bother reading bad sites, I am not losing anything of value.
So basically just use Alpine?

Not sure if I understand the ditch systemd part, because more suid binaries lead to a bigger attack surface?
For highly technical terms you can use the exact same strategy that Spanish and Mandarin speakers use, just use the English term like you did in your example sentence. A random Taiwanese speaker will not understand MOSFET, but neither will a Spanish speaker, unless they have that technical knowledge.
BTC is open source, decentralized, and you can mine it. The existing coins were mined. People may use the tool for scams, but that doesn't mean that the tech itself is a scam.

By contrast, many alts were pre-mined or similar and initial coins were sold or given away via airdrops. Thus, the developers had greater control over the network.
I have two daughters, and when I look at history, I am pretty glad they are born in the last couple of years and not 100 or 50 years ago.
>> then we wouldn't have any use for centralized trackers anymore.

So we finally invented emule?

Centralized servers that provide selection, moderation, quality control, information, imdb score etc, is exactly why bittorrent protocol won against all the decentralised protocols.
"It is not expected that most web browsers would support these schemes for generic web use. It would instead be used for particular applications using HTTP such as specific web APIs. These APIs would be defined to require the use of this specification. In this situation, the end user's web browser might not do the SRV lookup when it browsed to the portal web pages, but the HTTP calls that the portal made out to other sites to generate the content would use this mechanism.

As such architectures become more common, DNS SRV would allow many servers that are just providing an API to run on ports other than 80 even though main portal sites may still be running on the well known ports. Eventually, web browsers may end up supporting these SRV lookups, as the implementation is trivial and has very little downside."

My thoughts:

1. This would be very advantageous in cases like a K8s cluster, where if you want to use just DNS for service discovery, you still need an ingress listening on port 80 or 443, with nginx rules defined to route each service to a mapped port. A more general DNS method would eliminate the need of an ingress to route traffic.

2. We should be using this for all requests. It's more than a little ridiculous that it's 2022 and we have 65,535 different ports to use, but we can only use 1 of them (443) because we can't get the industry to fix its old designs.
Yeah I agree regular servicing will have a greater effect and equally the actual quality of the engine probably has an effect. If it was true that larger engines were more reliable though I was hoping to see something in the overall data that supported this!
Yeah, I do quite a lot of road trips and that is always a pain. Thankfully all gas stations even have the bucket of water and the scraper to clean off the bugs.
Sorry, but the difference between "rule" and "control" seems more like a play on words and less like a coherent argument. Also, "divide et impera" might be reasonable if you are in the business of ancient roman foreign policy but I would need to be convinced that it holds true for the inner workings of modern democracies. I don't have the feeling that the people around me are particularly afraid all the time and if they are, it leads to them wanting change instead of being paralyzed.

The connection between
- media producers make money by grabbing attention
- grabbing attention is easier if you create threats and crises
--> the media tends to overblow things

seems so much more straightforward.
Having short tenures (is 2 - 3 years short?) allowed me to be an IC for cool projects, to be CTO at a bootstrapped company, to be CTO of a VC backed company, to work on amazing projects around the world with interesting people, consult in big projects, to learn so many technologies and ways of doing things and on top of this to make so much money doing things I love, and have the autonomy to make my own life decisions.

This has happened while some people I know have been working on and maintaining the systems they got hired 15 years ago to build. Power to them. But they get paid like shit and I can’t really talk to them about the current technological landscape as they’ve been doing the same thing, in the same way without any disruptions. You’d expect them to be domain / tech-vertical masters, but unfortunately when you’ve been sliding in comfort for a decade, there’s a chance you lost most of your edge.

In my experience, there’s two (relevant to the point) kind of devs; the comfortable ones that you can rely on to basically almost never leave - they might be interested in politics but usually it’s just skimming the surface for that little extra cash or that little promotion; and the ones that need constant simulation, that mostly play politics with themselves and are a flight risk.

Ultimately, as a hiring manager you must make a decision knowing that whatever you choose you leave something on the table.
I stay up late about as often as I wake up early. I think this is far more common than being an "early bird" or a "night owl".

Working from home has taken away most of the pressure of an 8 hour schedule. What's actually important is just getting things done by a due date and being available for meetings. I very strongly prefer it this way.

Results and hours are very loosely correlated. There are times where my mind is so fresh I can do more than a day of work in just a few hours. There are other times where I am so mentally foggy I must work 10 hours straight only to still be behind. In both cases I am just as engaged with my work. Neither should be the expectation. It all evens out by the deadline, as it should.

I guess we haven't had enough with shitty bike/scooter sharing services cluttering sidewalks, now we'll have shitty food delivery services doing that too. Obviously none of them will even interoperate across different providers (how will the founders achieve their monopoly vision otherwise?) so it'll be wasteful both in terms of money, hardware, energy and sidewalk space. Can't wait!
I was being tongue in cheek. My generation literally brought us all the modern things we enjoy/loathe today. There isn’t a single aspect of life today that Gen X did not have an outsized impact in creating. Just like the silent generation’s impact through the 60s and 70s. We just do so quietly and either ignored or scorned. As it has always been.

>Keeping people divided stops them from focusing on the real issues that politicians can't/won't tackle, and it prevents them from uniting against politicians/corporations/etc.

This part however, I don't buy. That's a conspiracy theory. Who exactly is carrying out this nefarious plan? And how do they manage to have that much influence to be able to do that in most countries?

I don’t see how my prompt function or aliases are more fundamental than vim, git or other rc’s.

That is true, but used as an argument for this subject is tangential and overblown. Look at your .bashrc and tell which parts are too fundamental to not be stored elsewhere, if really needed.
Same tests have been run on licence plates. As they have remained in a similar position for decades, aerodynamics is clearly not the major contributing factor.
Sometimes the binary I am trying to debug is nested within several layers of crap. I have written shims before to attach gdb to the running process so that I don't need to try and wrangle gdb through shell scripts.

It is crazy. We hear these stories all the time. We have clear examples of good and bad documentation. Yet in the same breath, we condemn loners who neither solve nor worsen the problem by default, and praise the social butterflies omnipresent in places with these symptoms present.

Nothing is going to substitute throwing a few individuals with zero domain knowledge at your code/docs and seeing if they grasp enough. Certainly not some talking which fades away in 10 minutes.

The purpose could be to keep the family album accessible for a decade or two from a server in your room, it can be to log a temperature sensor in a remote Antarctic location for research purposes powered by solar cells and communicating with satellites once a week or it could be buried in an enemy state monitoring missile activity.

One should consider power failures and recovery from them, temperature fluctuation and what kind of connectivity is needed.

But generally, without giving us details, you are right- probably any server will do.

Growth for the sake of growth has a (in)famous equivalent in biology: cancer.
Not sure if I'm following: are we really applying VC growth demands to childhood education? It seems like it hasn't gone below the early 2000s levels, which is probably the level (or lower) that most people in this thread were on themselves?
They are both claims on future production, exactly as I said. If the future generation produces 50% less, then there will be 50% less for retirees to consume. It does not matter whether retirement is financed with social security or private savings, there will just be 50% less in both cases.

In neither case do claims on future production "help the business grow". Capital markets price claims, they never fund them, so at best you can say that correct pricing of claims helps allocate investment more efficiently, but that only requires marginal participation in capital markets in order to set prices.

So while capital markets play an important role in setting relative prices of investments, and thus of allocating money away from lower return and toward higher return investments, they play no role in absolute quantity of investment made. For that, just as loans create deposits, so investments create savings - not the other way around. If you are a farmer deciding to buy a new tractor, I guarantee you that you will never be waiting for someone to skip a meal and save in order for you to be able to finance the purchase of your tractor. Rather, an increase demand for consumption goods is required to increase investment and make the bank approve your tractor loan. That tractor investment is never funded by individuals choosing to "save". Rather, the purchase of the tractor is what causes aggregate savings to go up ex post, and whether pensions are funded with transfers or with capital markets has no bearing on whether it makes financial sense for you to take out the tractor loan and thus on aggregate savings.
Because CPython code is extremely slow there is an active cottage industry of extensions for making things very fast.

This of course creates the somewhat strange outcome that writing really fast Python code is all about writing your code in anything but Python but the syntax and ecosystem are obviously worth it to people.
Isn't the losing of information by digitising sound a particularly bad example? The Nyquist–Shannon theorem states that you can get perfect reconstruction of the wave if the sampling rate is high enough.

This reminds me of how the best spam prevention methods involve making your site's registration system different enough from everyone else's that bots can't fill in the forms automatically. Yeah, it's useless against a dedicated attacker that can write a program specifically to attack your site, but it makes common automated systems useless, and (if done by enough people overall) makes the act of posting spam more expensive overall.

You could probably say the same thing here. Yeah it won't work against an attacker who knows what they're doing, and no, it'll never work as your only or main line of security.

But it'd probably slow down or stop attacks by random script kiddies using bots bought from dodgy internet forums or what not. And those are a decent percentage of attacks a site or service receives now.
Unless someone has plenty of inheritance or won a lottery... That's leeching.

In my corner of EU (and I believe in many other parts too), workforce (including actively looking for work), students and pensioners are automatically insured. If you want to receive state-paid services, you'll have to present your ID and staff will check your insurance status while checking you in and checking out medical history. If you're insured in another EU country, you'll have to present a proof of that.

Emergency care won't be refused for obvious reasons but you'll be billed. But non-emergency care will be refused if you got no coverage by public or private insurance. Paying out of pocket is an option in private sector and for some procedures in public hospitals.

There're plenty of organisations who work with homeless and try to convert them to good citizens. Helping to get paperwork, housing and education opportunities. Which gives health insurance as well.

However, hardcore homeless who have mental issues fall under long-term patients who would get insurance once their mental illness is confirmed.

But if you're unemployed, out of school and on your „sabbatical“ or whatever you call it.. Pay base rate for your insurance. State health insurance is 7% of a salary, thus base rate works out to €600/year based on current minimum wage.
Energy problems is just one of ways in which our societies can get into a decline. There's also loss of arable land (industrial farming is slowly but surely destroying the soil across the world), destruction of biodiversification, leading to freak incidents (one pest/disease wiping out lots of crops, forests, farm animals, or humans for that matter), depletion of minerals in the Earth (who knows if even right now there's even enough lithium available for widespread deployment of electric cars etc.
"They urge caution: gamification can steer the behavior of software developers in unexpected and unwanted directions"

What do you mean unexpected and unwanted? It is the stated purpose of gamification to steer the behavior of the user. And I'm sure that in Github they worked very hard to create the incentives for exactly the type of behaviors they found.
Yeah. We are not that far away from the point where the BMC will require its own chip to handle startup. Because they require so much memory they often use DDR3 Ram and this causes issue, soon BMC will require DDR4 and starting that up is quite tricky.

It's smart to keep it maintained for safety reasons, but that doesn't explain the full story - there's bound to be plenty of unkempt grassland and whatnot further away from the road where insect populations SHOULD be thriving.

I believe the motive is more ethnonationalist than is admitted to in polite circles. "Culture" or "jobs" is the euphemistic front, but the true reasons are fear of crime/terrorism, and fear of becoming a racial minority and the consequences that will have on their voting power and racial supremacy.

Anti-immigration that comes from fear of crime is collective guilt and collective punishment. Only a small minority of individuals will be criminals, but the entire collective is punished all the same. Anti-immigration that comes from fear of racial diversity or fear of cultural change, is also a collectivist motive, it's a more nationalistic and nativist iteration of collectivism than fear of crime.

If the earnest reason is jobs protectionism, I'd still argue that protectionism isn't individualist. It's not explicitly collectivist, but it's a suppression of individual rights for cynical reasons. At least, it's anti-individualist, if not collectivist.
I recently went back to my hometown in the USA after a couple of decades away. I was struck by how there we're almost none of the fireflies, grasshoppers and assorted other bugs I'd chased as a kid. I chalked it up to being a nostalgic old man, but I've never shaken that feeling that something is definitely not right.
