I wish I could see marriage this way. After being with my girlfriend for almost 7 years, we married. Turns out, a few days before the wedding she started an affair with the leader of her theatre group, whom she invited with the group to our wedding apero, to play some theatre plays for us. Two months later, she spilled the beans, and so much shit has happened since, that I can't look at a couple without thinking which one is cheating the other or if they are cheating their partners together. Living in a country where there is no apparent social consequence for adultery has pushed me to the point where I don't want anything to do with what marriage or relationships represent. I left the country I grew up in to come here for this girl, and I'll be leaving without getting the divorce most people would want. I can't face it, and don't give a rat's ass about all of that anymore. Just getting my life back, and finding some inner peace again is all that matters.

I've also left suicide as an option open, but I've got one plan ahead of that which is just to stand up and walk away, loose ends untied.

My point is, the meaning that most people take for granted from an intimate relationship with someone, for me personally, has died. I'm no longer willing to sacrifice so much for someone else, because it took so much from everyday since. The trauma steals your life because your mind simply isn't capable of thinking of anything else anymore.

The conflict of loving someone and at the same time hating that part of them that destroyed you, is a paradox that makes it impossible to be blind to the reality that you can no longer trust anyone with your life.

I'll be glad to get out of this heartless country and back into the sunshine, where people have the balls to speak their mind and call a bastard a bastard, and a bitch a bitch.
Related: When working out a UI idea, I work REALLY low-fi and REALLY fast. Quick thumbnail sketches of just the overall layout of elements, or the way an interaction works, done in < 2mins.

The trick is to explore the problem space quickly before even getting to the level of sketching the full UI in context.

Here's a good article explaining the process:

As long as you're living someone else's life, not yours, you will feel suffocated and more and more trapped into externalities, and eventually you get depressed and see no point whatsoever in anything.

When you said that it helped when you realized that suicide is a perfectly valid option and you're free to choose it or dismiss it as you see fit, you touched your own life. The one you could continue or end, the one where your choices actually affect yourself only.

I think it's better to contemplate whether to end your own life than to try to live someone else's. Then you're bound to realize that your life will steer towards what you decide and what you think, instead of as if your life was a car that's being chauffeured along a predefined route that you don't particularly like.

This isn't really about prototypal inheritance. If you wrote methods like this in Ruby, you would have the same issue:

Klass.method := lambda { p self }

Also, if JavaScript looked like this, you wouldn't need the fat arrow:

// Let's call this a "prototype function"
Klass.prototype.function method() {
…
}

Together with these rules:

* A function always captures its outer `this`

* The getter of a prototype function (`thing.method`) always returns a binded function (where `this` == `thing`).

Do you want to keep an eye on your staff? Are you worried that your staff passes time on social media and doesn't pay attention on work? Do you want to increase the productivity of your organization? Do your guards not give you proper and reliable information? You should take stern steps and install monitoring devices to notice the activities of your staff.
This is why Google is so keen on the browser market. Once we're able to run beautiful apps through the browser independent of the platforms, standalone apps start to look really un-attractive. IMO who-over dominates the browser market in 5-10 years time, dominates the mobile app market.
A school in New Zealand has made this mandatory for all students. I welcome the change, however many parents won't be able to afford the gadgets. I hope that schools will allow the use of lower-spec, cheaper tablets as well.

418 I'm a teapot (RFC 2324)
Where does it say he made $200k less? The article says he made $200k profit so far, and that this is less, but it doesn't say how much less. It is also numbers 4 days in. Sales don't stop after 4 days.

As for residuals, maybe, but it looks from the post as if he is comparing his (so far) $200k profit to a lump sum payment for the rights, though he's not exactly being explicit about that.
Talking about iPhone and Bluetooth: is there any app that would make it easier to switch BT on and off? BT and WiFi are major power drains, so I always switch them off as soon as I can, but it's a major pain.

By default you have to go to Settings -> General -> Bluetooth -> on/off -- 4 taps, which is ridiculous. It's slightly better for WiFi, "only" 3 taps.

Ideally I'd be able to get buttons on my home screen that will quickly switch these on or off with 1 tap.
There are real semantic differences in CoffeeScript. As listed by jashkenas himself more than a year ago in response to the same accusation:

Leaving features off the table and just talking about semantic cleanups, here's a few:

* Switch statement doesn't fall-through by default.

* Variables don't need to be declared with "var", and can't ever become global accidentally.

* Equality is strict, using `===`, if you want coercive equality, you coerce the object yourself.

* Loops that are used to generate functions close over their index variables, so that all inner functions don't share the final value of the index. This is the same problem that ECMAScript Harmony introduces "let" to solve.

* Splats largely replace use of the "arguments" object, so you don't get bit by "arguments" only being a faux-array.

* Comparisons can be chained, as in Python -- so you can write: "100 > x > 25", and have the answer be correct.

* Multiline strings are valid without having to escape the newline.

* And the big one: everything in CoffeeScript is an expression. Without having to use temporary variables, you can return the result of an if/else from a function, pass a comprehension (loop) directly into a function call, assign the result of a try/catch, and so on.

I have two reactions:

1. it's still PHP

2. why are they still using PHP in a world where things like Python, Ruby and Java exist?
No doubt, if all music and video was released this way, a lot of it would fail.

A lot of music released by major labels fails, too. Movies flop. There are no guarantees.

So, I agree with you that Louis CK's marketing is fantastic. But it's not like only one person can market themselves this way, and there's not just a single audience that will pay for good stuff distributed in a civilized way. I think it's more like a giant overlapping Venn diagram of people.

Kickstarter might be the best place to see how this stuff scales. Everyone on there is doing their own marketing, and a lot of projects are getting funded.

I wasn't planning on buying this bundle either, but not because of the regularity of the bundles, more because of the quality of the content. Some of the previous bundles have contained a little much filler/incomplete games/etc.

They've really stepped up the contents with this pack though, I know myself and a few friends feeling much the same bought it immediately. There's an incredible amount of high quality gaming in this pack.

Is it off topic to wonder how the story of the badly behaved boy and his mother ended? Presumably with the police involved, they got separated and she was "protected" even more, albeit deprived of a livelihood. Maybe in another era, the consensus was that sex work was such a great job that legal penalties were needed to disincentivize it or there wouldn't be enough women left to be wives and housekeepers. In these more enlightened times, we consider it such a horrible job that anyone who would do it must be crazy or coerced, and needs to be shown that there are alternatives, but we retain the legal penalties in case we're not sure.

Property Business Tips Strategies In Year 2012
A random moment of anger/hilarity during a bad bout of depression a few years ago: I tried calling around to a few psychiatrists in the area to get an appointment for depression. After waiting several days without hearing anything, I called one again. "Hello?" "Uh, yeah, I called and left a message a few days ago about seeing someone about depression." "Oh. We aren't accepting new patients." "Um. Okay, can you recommend anyone who is?" She sounded shocked that anyone would ever ask such a question, "no."

So, it has been my experience that mental health care could care less about you unless they're already cashing your checks.

Anyway, on the subject of suicide, you only get one go around on this ride. If you're seriously contemplating suicide, go see your regular doctor about it. There are great drugs out there. Yes, they can have side effects, but let's be rational here: a lack of boners, for example, is well worth it to find value in life again. If you kill yourself, everyone in your family will be devastated, your friends will miss you more than you think, and, to be perfectly honest, you still owe society for educating you and putting up with the ridiculous stuff you did as a teenager. ;-)
In the interest of learning the middle, and upper middle class's vocabulary I respectfully make the correction that you probably meant that you went from the 1st percentile, to the 98th (of income, I believe you imply).

I've seen my parents make a climb in socioeconomic "position" similar to yours, and I've found that much as you found one of the fundamental things that separate the "classes" is awareness of taboos, and even more importantly, when taboos can be violated! My observations seem to indicate that the level of "taboo observance" is distributed in a bell curve over the incomes.
I have no idea who the guy is, but I've just bought it - thanks to HN. I hope I enjoy it. :)

Let me give you a discription of the compiler and then you can tell me if I understand everything correct.

You have a interpreter that for every basic block starts to record a trace. If you walk in to a basic block (or codeblock) the X-time with the same type you compile it for that type and you set a typeguard. Now everytime the interpreter goes trough there again it does a typecheck then either keeps interpreting or jumps into the compiled block. So if you have basic block in a loop you have to typecheck every time you go threw the loop.
I use R for most of my statistical analysis, but have also used Python.

Its an awful lot easier to get started with analysis in R, as its specialised for importing data, running analyses and plotting. It also has methods for everything else one can imagine.

That being said, Python is friendly, intuitive and fun so I really like it as a language, but I don't want to have to re implement all of my R workflow (mostly psychometrics which isn't available in python).

Python is so much better for data manipulation tasks is not even funny. Sure, you can use readlines and reshape in R, but Python really excels at this sort of stuff.

If you have more of your stack in Python, then it probably looks like a better choice, and the ecosystem for general programming is much larger, but around statistical analysis R is where its at.

Most of the problems people are having with R (slow, single threaded) are not going to be greatly improved by moving to Python, while the advantages of R is that one can get people who know some statistical analysis to use this as a foundation to learn programming. I started with R, and now have completely gotten the programming bug. So maybe that's another advantage for R.
Compared to multi-platform development for OS X,
iOS, Android, Symbian, WinMo 6, WinMo 7, Windows 7,
Windows 8, Blackberry, Samsung Bada, Linux ; it's
heaven like.

You make this sound much worse than it actually is. iOS is where the money is and Android is up and coming. All the others can be either ignored and served with a (funnily enough) web site.

Then there are libraries / frameworks that abstract all these platforms away or allow you to use a language that you're experienced in: MonoTouch, PhoneGap, Unity, etc.

Now, libraries don't fix all the problems and sometimes you will have to deal with the platform but they do take care of a whole lot.

To elaborate, Lua has special syntax for defining and calling methods vs unbound functions. In Lua,

function woot:donk() ... end
woot:donk()

is equivalent to

woot.donk = function(self) ... end
woot.donk(woot)

and when you define a function normally e.g.

function() ... end

there is no self parameter, thus the one from the parent scope is captured. The flaw with JS, really, is that it forces every function to be a method, and doesn't let you express whether you are defining one or the other.

(think I got this right, my Lua is a bit rusty)

Biographical Essay Biography Essays How to Write
Here is a four step solution for writing biographical essays, now write biography essays with the help of the

guideline given in the article.
Once the responsibilities have been carried out, consider the option of just walking away, if it's an option, instead of offing yourself. It's just one of many options. I wrote a post a bit further down. Probably my situation is similar but also very different, but it has also dragged me down far enough that I was short before doing the same as you several times already.

I've struggled at work for two years, just trying to survive. Days go by where I'm totally useless and am unable to produce anything (days add up to months, etc). It's an added stress knowing that the personal problems you are having might lose you your job if you don't somehow fight and pull through.

I'm fortunate that I have the option, which I intend to use, of in a reasonably short amount of time (3-4 months), can cancel everything and leave the country to return back home.

I've also recognised the things I enjoy doing, even if I'm incapable of doing them at the moment, I'm fighting for the day when I'll be free of the mindfuck going on right now, and will be able to focus on those things again.

If it ever gets moments before killing myself again, I'm going to buy a plane ticket back home with my credit card, and leave everything behind. I'll face the consequences later when I'm mentally healthy again. Right now, I'm fighting through those things that I need to do, so that I can leave without too many loose ends. I can't tie them all up, but most.

Well, I suppose it's one step up from embedding ANSI escape sequences in your output. Various crappy Ruby tools do this and it makes Windows development SUCH a joy.

Free clue: the world is not a 1960s UNIX terminal. If you don't want to support Windows, that's fine - don't. I'll use something else or write my own. If you DO claim to "work" on Windows, read the goddamn docs and don't just blindly emit escape sequences on std(out|err) because it DOES NOT WORK.

It's not that hard to support Windows console IO, and it's well documented. I've previously written a (commercial) Java native library to provide curses-style character-at-a-time support for Java running in a terminal, using curses on UNIXalikes and a choice of Win32 console or Cygwin curses on Windows, although Cygwin curses at the time didn't correctly recognise Ctrl-Space (makes supporting Emacs keybindings a non-starter). Win32 has a considerably saner console implementation IMO.

Web app discoverability is much worse

This is especially one of the glaring holes with web apps in relation to their native counterparts. There just isn't a central destination for users to easily assess and access them. If web developers can come together and make this happen on a greater and more open scale than what the App Store, Chrome Store, or any other restricted app directory is currently offering, then the web has a chance at reengaging those native app users. Until then, the web is a jungle.

"you can see photons moving through space..." I think of this statement and cant help but think it is fundamentally flawed. One cant see the photon moving through space. You might be able to see an electron moving through space because e can emit a photon. But photons cannot emit photons while moving. In essence one only sees the photon when it hits the detector. Physics majors feel free to correct if i am mistaken.
I doubt that's really the case in proportion to lines of code. Three error conditions handled by one and the same handler doesn't seem unusual at all. Even 10 to 1 or more wouldn't be unusual I believe.

In my view, all attempts at making a distinction between recoverable and non recoverable errors inevitably fail simply because it is a non local distinction that cannot be made for any particular piece of code in isolation.
And getting upvoted? Such a pointless post.
