> ECT should be retired from use. I heard once that brain damage causes the brain to increase production of the steroid allopregnanolone. The beneficial effect of the SSRI's seem to also be related to increased allopregnanolone, NOT to boosting serotonin levels.

That's a fascinating insight. Recent medical research implicates neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of depression [0][1]. Steroids generally have anti-inflammatory properties. Allopregnanolone specifically has anti-neuroinflammatory effects [2][3].

It's amazing, inflammation appears to be implicated in all manner of diseases and conditions.

There is a large number of homeless living close to my work in a semi-permanent camp. They wander into the lobby fairly often and I feel bad for the workers and customers stuck in the room with them… but l feel even worse about the homeless folks themselves. Some of them have addiction problems but all of the ones I have had experience with have had profound mental issues.

For all the problems with institutionalization, it seems brutal that these people are just left to fend for themselves on the street.
A .vimrc is literally one file, and we've come up with lots of solutions for moving dotfiles around easily. Some jank, some not. But it is a hundred million miles out of scope for vim to implement some kind of sync. That would require accounts, databases, all kinds of tedious details an OSS project does not have the resources or volunteers to do.
I had ECT and it was absolutely life changing. Only thing that ever worked for me. Mild headaches with each treatment and my memories of the time of my treatment is fuzzy. But I think we probably should be investigating why it works so well.
Most states have provisions for involuntary mental health treatment. Arizona's laws for forced mental health treatment are in ARS Title 36, Chapter 5: https://www.azleg.gov/arsDetail/?title=36

As soon as the doctors got their order for involuntary treatment in November 2015, they cornered my friend and injected her with a time-release version of haloperidol, then released her to her mother's house.

A day and a half later her mom called the psychiatrists, who said to take my friend to a real ER. My friend told the real doctors at the real ER that she was NOT suicidal. She told me how the haloperidol had 'hit her like a truck', and she tried everything she could think of to counteract the agony: alcohol, cocaine, heroin, dextromethorphan (aka cough syrup), etc.

All the anti-dopamine drugs are terrible. Some of the second-generation drugs that are forced on people are much worse than plain old haloperidol. The poor doctors are just implementing their training. Tragic.

My observation is that agony-inducing drugs are not actually helpful for substance abuse.
These second order words convey the precise meaning. They exist for a reason.

Authors ought have the responsibility to think through their message and intent and are free to use the most precise words to convey their thoughts. These words stand justified; for expressing delicate emotions you need their help.

P.S. I had to lookup "decadence" I could guess the meaning. It was worth the effort.
> You can maintain a .ssh/config file with all the port that you used (and backup it)

Once you start distributing config files to all your clients you might as well switch to keypair authentication, which so completely reduces risk of intrusion that leaving sshd on 22 simply does not matter.

> that consumes resources (even if minimal)

I suspect practically immeasurable.
It's like compiling C with clang.
Everything has sugar added. Even sausage has sugar added. I noticed recently products without sugar/corn syrup are labeled as keto. So yogurt without sugar added is keto yogurt.
Kind of moderate. Seems like a thornier moral issue to me than the kind of animal experimentation at issue.

I can see how people can maintain hardline stances on abortion. That's their prerogative. I don't think there would necessarily be anything categorically impermissible about an abortion ban; I would just disagree with such a ban substantively. It's not where I would draw the line. But I don't think it's out of the question or harmful that someone would want to draw the line there.

I think this position is generally consistent with the tack I take above, though open to being wrong--in which case, I would sooner adjust my views on abortion than on animal experimentation haha
The author appears to be mistaken about what's going on here, I think.

It's not that ZFS takes a long time to update free space - it's that it actually doesn't necessarily free the space immediately.

Deletes over a certain size (by default 20480 blocks, so 10/80 MB for 512b/4k sectors, respectively, I believe) dump the thing to be deleted (assuming it's to be freed, dedup refcounting/snapshots/etc might mean it's not actually freed) on an async queue that gets worked through in the background, rather than blocking rm on it.

(Otherwise, if the files are smaller than that, I think it's as the author says, with bundling things into a txg and only updating once they're flushed out. But the example was ~40 files totalling several GB, so I think it's as I describe above.)
Happy for CSS support, disappointed by the choice to go with Markdown-based documentation system instead of Sphinx as the more pythonic choice. Curious why some Python projects go that route when RST is much more extensible and Sphinx integrates so well with Python (including cross-linking to other Python packages docs and other niceties).
Seabed, rocks etc.
Interesting information... it prompted me to do more research.

According to wikipedia, Vitamin B-9 is broken down by our bodies into a family of compounds called "THF", which:

1. Help synthesize DNA,

2. Help repair/modify DNA,

3. Help create the amino acid "Methionine", which is a precursor to other amino acids, and is thus important for the synthesis of many proteins inside the body,

4. Activate Vitamin B12.

A deficiency in Vitamin B-9 can lead to a loss of appetite, weakness, heart palpitations, headaches, irritability, and anemia. Also interesting to note that a deficiency in Vitamin B-12 will cause the body to overcompensate and convert a large portion of Vitamin B-9 into the form that metabolizes Vitamin B12, which leads to a condition that mimics a deficiency of Vitamin B9.

One of these days, when I have enough free time, I want to develop a particle-level simulation of the human body, so that medical students, doctors, and curious laymen can see these processes in action on their personal computers. If I combine that with an affordable at-home blood test/diagnostic system, we will have a mechanism to bring affordable healthcare to every single person in the country. And perhaps a reliable method to find the true cause of a patient's depression, before prescribing them SSRI's or other psychiatric drugs.

Planning for Product-Market Fit
Ok but that’s far away. What’s next, not carrying all the groceries in one trip?
I switched to an iPhone about six months ago and have been shocked by how user-hostile the experience is compared to my old Pixel, primarily because of their ecosystem lock-in. For example, the watch randomly logged me out of Strava and started pushing me towards their random fitness tracking app, and iMessage won't let me click to open addresses because I uninstalled Apple Maps. I suspect (maybe hope) their anticompetitive behavior will start to draw more public scrutiny if they double down on their ad business.
Whenever I go actually have to install an app from the apple store I really really have to pay attention to figure out what is an ad and what is what I actually want. Yeah it says it's an ad one it but it shows up first and the "it's an ad" warning feels deceptively subdued.
You've given us a few paragraphs about the situation. No one here can tell you if he was attempting to disrespect you.

I'll note that you've called this person a friend in your post, so it's likely you know them pretty well. Instead of asking strangers on the internet with only a very reduced understanding of your relationship dynamic and past conversations, why not have a chat with your friend and ask them directly?

If you're considering this person as your cofounder, you're going to need a strong communication foundation. Getting offended by a perceived lack of respect (which could be valid, but it doesn't sound like you're sure they meant offence since you're asking the question here) is not a good place to start any business relationship.
Those are all good reasons but they are not the root cause per se.

The attraction to such foods starts with the normalizing of them (and their eventual result). Human behaviour is very much a function of environment / nature. Our evolution and survival came from observing our neighbors and following suit. When everyone at the supermarket has soda in their carts we naturally assume - without even thinking - it's ok for us too.

Put another way...Availablity is a problem. But acceptability The Problem.

Along the same lines, previous social friction / deterrents are no longer fashionable. Call someone "chubby" and your labeled a bully and instantly marginalized or cancelled. On the other hand it goes unnoticed how calebrities (e.g., Oprah) spent years promoting "love your body"* and now push their own diets / meals. For all intents and purposes for a health perspective sugar is the new cigarettes. Unfortunately, social norms aren't interested in the dangers.

The food is a problem. But people refusing to come to terms with the truth about those foods is ultimately the root problem.

* Promoting love your body is fine. Unfortunately, the health implications are rarely mentioned. That type of deception needs to be denormalizes.
I definitely agree and can sympathize with this sentiment. But to the last part, there are market forces involved. Obviously the value of an employee isn't infinite, but if demand is high, then the wage should reflect that. It is becoming more costly to do computer science. But we're paying for brain power, not machines (something that other engineering jobs have to account for and can too be quite costly. Similarly, having out of date machinery is often a cause for low progress as well as employees jumping ship).

But I do want to know, as a manger do you consider things like yearly wage audits and renormalization. To me this is an important aspect that resolves issues like pay discrepancies, wage bias, etc. I think it also builds high trust with employees because it is a clear signal that you understand that things fall through the gaps but that you are attempting to resolve them.
I'd say risk aversion and boredom aversion go hand-in-hand. Why even consider taking a risk for an unknown amount of baseline satisfaction? It is a lot easier to dopamine surf social media with proven returns on time, even if those returns are meager in comparison to longer-form activities
It was but people want more.

Everyone should be forced to read the Linux mailing lists to see how git is meant to be used.
They were less than $5 before I moved to California, so perhaps time has confounded my perception here.
You will get a lot of condescension for saying this - a lot of people assuming you are naive and don't understand "real" friendship. And I have to confess, my own experience having "friends" online is that many people who seem like they might be friends, end up not being.

But I do find that you can have real friends online, and it's not all that much harder or less common than having real friends in person. And the cameraderie we might have with a lot of people over HN isn't that far removed from real friendship.

My standards for friend are pretty low these days - anyone who can have an interesting, respectful conversation without becoming hateful or condescending over a difference in opinions is an awfully good candidate.
For example: In Go you have `x.Close()` / `err := x.Close()` that returns an error and if someone starts to check/assert those usages in tests which you have ignored in test code. I think they are pushing the limits. No - these do not add value. No new use-cases are being checked, no improvement to coverage etc.

or typo check tests.

I do not reject these PRs. I review these and merge but I feel annoyed.

This non-sense started somewhere around start of 2022. Before that I rarely ever see PRs like that.

>Section 1
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

>Section 2
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

The above is the exact text of the 13th amendment outlawing slavery. It allows for a single exception to this, allowing slave labor when it is a punishment for a convicted criminal. Calling it anything other than slave labor seems to the inaccurate description to me. I find most Americans are squeamish to call it what it is because we've developed this national narrative that slavery is one of the worst things a society can allow(which I agree with) and that we fought a war to abolish it entirely(which I do not agree with).

>...the inmates are paying off a debt to the society that they wronged.

The imprisonment is paying off a debt to society. If they were entirely focused on infrastructure work, I could consider it paying off a debt to society. Producing all these consumer and luxury items for sale at profit does not fit under "paying a debt to society".[1]

I'm not sure what you mean by "automatically" but there's no reason you can't put your configs in a remote git repo and git clone/git pull if you have a new home directory or if you want to update your config, respectively.
Sorry. On rereading your comment I think you are saying you have PMF, and just giving your own example? Maybe I misread you, but it is not clear that you are saying you have PMF. Or are you just saying you have a little? Having customers is not necessarily PMF.

My misreading was mostly that your comment began on the topic of your first customer. One customer would not usually be called a market? Oddly, you then did a similar thing in your reply “our customer” and “that Market (the school)”.

I mostly wanted to play with the metaphor: “PMF is when your product is pushed by a crowd of customers, a herd, almost uncontrollable. Sometimes going with the crowd is surprising and productive, and sometimes you have to try your hardest to go your own desired direction against the flow”.

“Orthogonal” meant going off on a tangent to the core topic - maybe “peripheral” as a synonym (odd that my chosen words also have STEM meanings). Your comment feels a bit like a self-promotion. To reply to the core topic of the article would be to discuss “chasing the boulder”. This comment has also drifted along another different dimension, sorry.
That was a nice touch to include the gradient title bar. I always thought that was a fun feature. Too bad they removed it with Windows 10 / 11 by default.
<<I thought I was pretty clear. At best, those are regional powers. And clearly fell into the "subordinate dictator" mindset. When Iraq stopped being a proxy-war launching pad with USSR backed Iran, it quickly was removed from even being a major regional power.

I accept the argument. I missed the "major power" part. SA is definitely a regional power. Sorry for the sloppy reading on my part.

<<That point was about EU economic power. China has clearly influenced many economic activities. Look at the removal of Taiwan's flag in the new Top Gun or the way John Cena apologized in Chinese as examples of the movie industry being pushed around.

Yes, but China does it ( not completely unlike US ) with the implied threats of a power that has an army at its disposal. If I were to compare the situation to anything it would be to of a local mafia soldier coming over for payment of protection money. He is not threatening you. He merely discusses economic impact that lack of protection would bring, but the owner knows full well that the conversation has more than one level. To its credit ( and supporting your point ), I am not aware of China overtly flaunting its military power.

<<The EU could pass laws that really mess with the US, but they don't seem to.

Globalism does cut both ways. My argument is that EU does not do it not because it is noble or right, but because it effectively cannot at this time. At certain point, economic arguments have to be supported by something.

<<I can tell you are strongly on one side,

No worries. It is not relevant here and I am sure this topic will pop up on HN soon enough though:)
I did submit those rebates, and was paid back all of them. They weren't scams. You had to be very meticulous about cutting out the correct UPC bar codes and scanning and retaining copies of receipts etc. The hoops were elaborate, but if you jumped through them - you got your money back.

The musician Townes Van Zandt underwent ECT and the loss of his memory haunted him his whole (very tragic) life. It's well-known how deep of an impact that had on him, and not for the better.

As if the often pleasant, often interesting, often terrifying yet short term and proven harmless side-effects of Ketamine can even compare to the ECT! I would like to see how _much_ better ECT is, given all the factors. Additionally, one can do quick, repeat treatments with ketamine. I'm sure doctors would caution repeatedly getting hooked up to an ECT machine.
They are immediate casualties. This means they died immediately. Hundreds of millions if not billions would die over the next few weeks, depending on the number and size of the nukes.

A bit of searching suggests that finding the current txg (transaction group) id might be helpful? https://www.delphix.com/blog/delphix-engineering/zfs-fundame...

A bit more turns up `zdb -e mainpool -ul` (or maybe without the -e?) that includes a bunch of txg ids along with tons of other stuff. I'd think there ought to be a less noisy way to find that, but I don't know where to start looking.
