the photo of the top is chimp haven, which doens't look like that nice a place--but I suspect that the other options are picturaesque either. And that chimp in the photo--has a cigarette in his mouth. Obviously I don't think its lit up and he's smoking, but is he copying humans?
Thanks for your feedback. I originally wanted to override the img tag (seems obvious right?) but it turns out you cannot get access to the image data for security reasons, even from a class that extends image, even for images from the same domain.

It would be possible to have an external script the post processes img files on the page, but then you lose the nice as-dithered-image encapsulation. It may be a better way to go in practice though.

Using a web worker is certainly something I considered and maybe I will get around to implementing it. Copying data as you suggest is possible but I found that doing it on the main thread was "fast enough" for a reasonable number of images.
1. See a therapist. If only to ask about therapy.

2. A symptom of this condition is distorted perceptions and beliefs. It introduces undetected errors in your rational processes. It can be difficult to think your own way out of it as a result. A professional can help you troubleshoot these errors and patch them out. Can’t recommend this enough. You can totally do it.

3. Pick someone on your insurance or out of the phone book and just go. It will be hard to take the first steps (again, depression fights to defend itself). But you can do it.

4. To answer your question, yes, people make changes in their lives to bring themselves happiness at all ages. It’s sometimes difficult, but as they say, many of the things most worth doing, are. Get a guide. Start small. Keep moving. You can do it!
Of course, the scalability and economics of this technique are nowhere to be found, either in the article or the paper it's based on.

SSN's are not unique, and were never intended to be. They are assigned using an allocation scheme that ensures people of similar age will not have the same SSN, and that allows localities to independently allocate them at birth without creating collisions.
They did. It's called opposition research. Every well run campaign or major party does it. They knew.

> LaTeX also has a much superior word-break/hyphening algorithm to the HTML engines of browsers.

And because the PDF has a fixed layout it's also much easier to prevent "rivers" in paragraphs. Which hence makes it a no-brainer to use justification. To me many print publication using justified text (including LaTeX documents) are a thing of beauty and I do hate how "left align" breaks the flow of reading. I'm taking slightly different spacing between words due to justification every day over horizontal lines of different length, which I find fugly and confusing beyond repair.

More hyphenation controls are coming to CSS and, one can dream, it may be possible one day to programatically detect rivers?

Meanwhile rivers be damned, I override anyway many sites and add "text-align: justify". The nice thing is: because "text-align: left" is the default many sites and minifiers do not bother with text-align at all, so adding "text-align: justify" works for many, many, many sites.

And I only half-buy anyway the justifications (ah!) for left alignment on the Web.

It's basically saying: "We know better than people who've been working in print since decades (or more), left align is easier to read". I don't buy it. Left align breaks my reading flow. And I cannot be the only one.

To me left align is trading potentially ugly looking paragraphs (due to rivers) for certainly ugly looking paragraphs (due to left justification: just look at the right of each paragraph... Such lack of clarity, such chaos cannot be unseen. It's pure fail).

P.S: I've actually typeset books both in LaTeX and QuarkXPress and their were justified, not left-aligned.

Good for them. As the saying goes in boxing - if you want loyalty, buy a dog.
Second that age thing, 43 is not 'too old' for a man, past prime yes but definitely doable if your health is OK in that area. As a person who has 2 young kids (first when 39, second at 41) - in some regards I am much better parent than younger me, the only problem that probably got worse with age (for me) is patience. But parents are required to have endless amount of patience anyway and I've seen even otherwise stellar parents to lose it more than once when pushed enough. If you don't feel up to it anymore, look for single moms and give some proper good into the world, it desperately needs it now more than ever. Don't let (often ancient) social norms of your specific place rule your life, science is on your side.

Tons of other good advices here - if you think you really are suicidal (and not just fleeting emotion in the lowest position), get professional help, even if it means moving away. You owe to yourself as much as to anybody else, including your closest family. Otherwise try to get a job you want and like, AND get into some sports, whatever it is. Being active brutally increases mood, happiness and often integrates you with like-minded people. On top of usual stuff like better sleep, sex, longer better life overall etc.

Do some 'charity' work, helping unknown people with whatever, its extremely rewarding. Attempt in some way to overcome procrastination, attack it from different angles, ie set up appointments that you would feel ashamed to cancel later.
DxO PhotoLab 6 review: A powerful alternative to Adobe's editing suite
A credit card chargeback should be used as the last resort, and for good reason: many service providers will permanently suspend your account if you do one.

There's typically a thread or two per year where some poor sap gets double charged by Google or similar company, uses a chargeback and then gets their entire account suspended. Poof, all your mails are now permanently gone.

So yeah, only do it if you're OK with never using Uber again.
Exactly this, a good therapist will focus the first session or two on fit, they want to make sure you both understand each other.

I will caveat by not knowing what country you are in and the norms there, so this is coming from a US centric approach.

Not me, but my Mother indeed turned her life in a completely different direction in her 40's. Up until then, she was married to a verbally abusive narcissist for 20 years (my father–a decent man and excellent surgeon, but with unaddressed mental health issues). She and my Dad divorced at 40, and she returned to school to get the degree she always wanted. She completed PhD in English Literature and, for the last 20+ years, has been an accomplished English professor and author–writing everything from illustrated children's stories to graduate-level textbooks. She also met another man, and they've now been married longer than she and my father.

Your perspective is out of calibration. You're halfway through your life (ish). Your best days could easily be ahead of you. You need a therapist, and they are available online. Doesn't have to be one in your town. My wife and I have seen a couple's therapist online for 3+ years now, and it's an excellent way to spend our time and money.

Life is hard. It was hard then and it will be hard now, but you can do the things you want. And the second half is coming whether you do them or not, so you may as well get started.
Fascinating article.

"Many paleontologists angrily reject the DNA findings, arguing there must be something wrong with the molecular clocks the geneticists use to date their findings. The geneticists counter that paleontologists just haven't found the right fossils yet."

And that should make clear it is not that clear cut as I (with ZERO background knowledge in either area) thought it was.
That said, TRT also has trade offs. It adds test and limits endogenous hormone production thus doesn’t help with any downstream hormones/metabolites and their effects. It’s not a free lunch that you want to get on if your T levels are still in ref range. We can’t actually give you the full hormonal system profile of a 20yo, just give you test which is only one of many differences between a 20yo and 50yo hormonal system.

Yet TRT tends to be peddled like it’s magic.
Does that make sense?

I totally get what everyone is saying, I just know it will not play out how people think it will. They might allow a handful of troops to surrender at first to condition them into thinking this is a thing. The problem is that Russia are past taking prisoners. The Russians have nothing more to learn from their enemy and have not even learned lessons from this war. Both sides are still using trench warfare. The Russians will just mow down the Ukrainians once enough of them start to surrender.

If people insist on using trenches, they will need to change the methodology to the tunnels used in the Vietnam war.

We're not therapists, but many people don't need therapy: their cry for help doesn't mean they're short on dopamine or have childhood trauma. They're simply destitute. Therapy also isn't a magical bullet: it's not exactly engineering.

What we can give is some experience, and heartfelt advice. Perhaps there's something of value in this thread, if not for poor OP, then for another person that feels the weight of expectations on his/her shoulders.

What about the very limited module capabilities?

What about the limited set of deterministic functions available (e.g. you get base64, yaml, csv, and otherwise GLHF)?

The party that opposed him ran a literal dead person for a house seat in another state, and the dead guy won. It wasn't even unusual - several dead people have won elections. I'm pretty sure I saw a poll that showed that most voters didn't know he was dead. I doubt it would have affected him much if his fraud were exposed.
So, that's undoubtedly bad... but how is this HN material?
> At 43, having kids is harder for women, but usually not for men

Finding a partner becomes hard, especially if you expect her to be 5-10 years younger.

I used to be rather successful with women, was never single, always could find someone easily. I'm 45, in good shape with a good job, but it has became much harder.
I cannot speak to all kids and all contexts, but I have a 4 and 5 year old and something I've learned in the past ~3 years is just how completely wrong I was about this. My kids are completely ready to hear "we don't know, but we think it might be like X or maybe even like Y."

It's actually incredibly empowering, I think, for a specific reason: a conclusive answer shuts the book, an inconclusive one begs imaginative minds to think about the blanks to be filled in. And my kids leap on the opportunity to begin imagining what the answer might be, with such boldness and confidence that most adults seem to have been stripped of somewhere in school.
That makes EVs look even worse.

You are ready for a new chapter in your life. What would you like to do if there were no constraints? You have no obligations, you have no expectations to fulfill. What do you want to do, however unreasonable it seems to be?

If you want a more constrained approach:

> US$25k-equivalent in salary savings from a decade ago

> I am becoming more bitter, angry and disillusioned

Since you don't have to earn income immediately, you can do some volunteer stuff. Helping others should take care of the bitterness and the anger. The emptiness of disillusion will be filled with opportunities. On the days when you don't volunteer, do some sport because you will feel good.

Then, try some job, any job, to earn money and feel the monetary worthiness of your time. It will look good on your CV when you start applying for the jobs that you want.

Math hasn't changed. Brush it up and apply wherever you want.
Not 40 but about to turn 37: I hired a personal trainer that I see twice a week with the goal of getting as strong as possible (not focusing on weight loss which I think is important).

The change in 6 months has been unbelievable. I have put on a ton of muscle, gained a ton of strength, my metabolic health is now PERFECT, and I have a ton of energy and vigor which is spilling over into the rest of my life.

Getting physically strong and fit is an incredible place to start when you're feeling directionless. And with a personal trainer all you have to do is show up for the session and do the work. If you can find someone who has a private studio that's even better (imo) because it takes away the whole gym culture aspect that can be intimidating.
No, don't get me wrong please. I said that it is my personal belief that if someone puts their money where their mouth is, it's a commendable thing. Like, in general. But I haven't said that anyone else should hold this belief or specifically hold it towards Elon.

In his case, I totally agree that backpedaling hard doesn't really makes him look good. Still, personally, at the time, I was still thinking "well, okay, he paid for it, that's something I can respect, he told some intriguing promises, let's see what he does what he bought", giving him a benefit of doubt.

And then I've said that I fail to see any consistency between his words and actions. Basically, "I used to think he'd try something interesting and I'm disappointed that I don't see it".

That's about it. I most certainly did not mean to endorse him, or anything like that. Just echoed a disappointment and shared an anecdote - what I used to think and what I think today. Sorry if that sounded weird.

O‘Reilly‘s online offer has not only O‘Reilly books, but ones from other publishers as well. Some of them have equations. However, they are often rendered as images.

IEEE explore does a good job rendering equations on phone screens. Therefore, it is possible.

There is no technical reason why equations couldn’t be rendered on a screen just as well as on a PDF. Sure, canvas size constraints might interfere, but this problem exists in principle also on paginated output. Plus, horizontal scrolling is a thing.

I‘m not saying a phone is the ideal platform to read a paper containing free energy-like math, but it can go a long way. Much longer than with the artificial restriction to paginated output like PDF.
I too lost my dad almost 15 years ago, and was quite depressed both leading up and after.

At least for me, what helped was when I started being honest with myself, and I started to accept my limitations and to incorporate that into my planning.

I don't mean that in a "just give up" sort of way, but rather accept the limitations and find ways to work around those.

I also found some Meetup groups and attended free meetings/events. Some technical to learn and network, others like hiking and cycling to counteract the negative thoughts.

I still forget to be honest with myself from time to time, so every now and then I need to have a stern talk with myself to realign.

Regarding the last point, that's shooting pretty low imo. Definitely a range of women out there between 25-35 who might be a catch, you just don't want to be desperate first.
First, let's ditch the idea of "prime of your life." If you assign some magical value to the years you have already spent, then it doesn't matter what you do from now on, those "best years" are always behind you. Poisonous thinking.

Yes, in our 20s and 30s we have lots of capabilities that we begin to lose when we are older. If someone told you that your younger years would be filled with something that it wasn't, then I'm sorry you were misled, but consider then that you have been misled about the limits of an "old man" at the ripe old age of 43.

It sounds like you beat yourself up for not magically teleporting yourself out of your present situation. You can't. You can grow into something new, but it takes patience. A few years is actually quite a long time, and a lot can happen in them. All you have to do is be consistent. I know that sounds hard. For constant procrastinators and self-deceivers like us (or at least like me), consistency is kryptonite!

I was very depressed for quite a while... divorced, unemployed, and alone in an unfamiliar city. I did two things that I credit with helping me find my way out. The first is, I wrote down several aspirational sentences. One was about the career I wanted. Another was about the relationship I wanted with a woman someday. Another was about the kind of dad I want to be. And the last was about the kind of human being I want to be. I wrote these down every single day. I tweaked them over time, and in so doing got a clearer picture of who I really am.

The second thing I did was be honest with myself every day about something I did that helped me get where I wanted to go with any of those things. Early on, I had to teach myself to take credit for what seemed like very small victories. If I wrote even one line of code, I counted it as a win. If I took a walk or otherwise got some exercise, that was a win. Going to places where I might be able to network was a win, even if I didn't actually connect with anyone. If I had even just an interaction with a woman who I found interesting, I counted it as a win.

What I learned was that I had no idea when things would happen, or how. Despite writing my statements down each day, I had a hard time seeing how I could find a partner in my situation. One day, I did. It was most unexpected, and I never saw it coming. But I think if I had not kept reminding myself what I wanted, I would not have gotten it.

My life is definitely not perfect, and there is much I still want to grow into to really live up to those statements. But I can point to some of it and be very proud now, and I can feel myself making progress towards what's missing.

Set your direction, and then learn to be happy with very slow and small steps, and eventually you'll find yourself taking giant ones in rapid succession. Good luck!

Sorry, appreciate the edit about earlier IPO's, its an important word to your point and was accidentally omitted, my bad.

I think we can agree Sarbox has done nothing to slow down IPO's. I have yet to hear a CEO say they'd go public but Sarbox has made it burdensome.

I've gone over this before in nauseating detail. Sarbox just made clear what best practices all companies should be doing, public or not. I have yet to hear any burden that it imposes on companies that would prevent them from going public.

So I think we can skip Sarbox as a reason. unless someone can show a CEO claiming they'd be public now if not for Sarbox.

> The current argument for late IPOing seems to be abundant capital for later rounds but we'll see how that plays out given gesturing around the state of things.

If this is true, we should see a bunch of early stage companies going public now as the free money era is over. I'll wait to see by the end of the year or even the end of next year, but it doesn't look like the free money hypothesis is the full reason here.
