This is lovely. I really like the style of the outputted images.

A totally pointless and unnecessary technical suggestion: it should be possible to use an img tag with an attribute in the HTML src, and do the work using a web worker with an offscreencanvas doing the same work as your canvas is, convert to a blob, and pass that back to the main thread to replace the src of the img. That would push all the work off to a separate thread so you could have loads of them on a page without slowing things down. The only consideration would be whether you can copy from an img tag to an offscreencanvas efficiently. That might be blocked by CORS stuff.
But we only notice that these are the signs to look for once people got hurt from the long term effects. There's suspicions in recent years that seed oils cause cognitive decline and adverse metabolic effects, I don't think it's the consensus yet but the studies are out there.

The culprit is being pinned down as the high concentrations of linoleic acid, but this is all in hindsight, after decades of having people consume these things, there's absolutely no way you'll be able to run a controlled experiment for something like this even with gizmos that measure everything that you, right now, think you should measure.

Heck how are you going to know which of the technological marvels that people are consuming all the time is the one to blame?

It seems that, currently, this is an acceptable tradeoff.

Maybe the story of humanity is just a cycle of jumping from frying pans into progressively bigger fires?
I used TherapyDen to find the only therapist I saw (so I'm no expert). But lots of therapists there have videos so you get a sense of who they are and what they focus on. I did enjoy the therapist I ended up seeing for a year.

I wonder why you wrote "stealing" with quotes. Presumably this is exactly what they did in numerous (majority?) of cases.

> How can I find someone I trust and is actually good? Not like the movies where the clock is up and ok next issue.

In reality, you don't really know the kind of people you'd trust to talk to in the first place, you don't really have an informed opinion. Just jump in feet-first, don't think about. You just need someone to talk to ASAP and any decent therapist is your first step. Just try it, there's nothing to lose whatsoever.
How are you verifying age? The "this is impossible"s are about it being accurate on age not the disabling of chat once you have an accurate age. The point being the law is useless theatre that does nothing to prevent kids from using it but annoys everyone else anyways.
_Earlier IPOs_ out of existence. The traditional explanation for why companies are waiting to be decacorns before IPO was that Sarbox basically made it so burdensome to IPO that you just didn't do it early[0]. The argument for this extra regulation is that it made it hard to lose your shirt to something like Enron, the argument against is that an individual (non accredited) investor now can't get into companies early when they still have steep growth ahead. SPACs seem to have brought back the sketchy early companies to the public markets while high quality companies still stay private longer.

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.

Interesting! I agree with the author that React is overused. Especially for an integration-widget product like Waitlist, where performance and predictability are most important, it makes a ton of sense to just drop straight down into pure HTML/CSS/JS and work directly with the browser API. No more crazy polyfills, ha!
> For example, loading data from an SSD is more than 3 orders of magnitude (more than 1000x) slower than referencing main memory, and a disk seek on a spinning disk is 5 orders of magnitude (100,000x) slower than referencing data that is in memory. The above latencies should make it clear that there is a huge performance advantage to minimizing disk access.

this is the first explanation i've seen that directly links disk latency and data architecture decisions. always felt it intuitively but never did the math.
Because market failures exist and one of the main goals of gov't is to change the incentives to correct them. Right now the failure is in long term planning and a total lack of investment in the longevity and energy efficiency in new home construction that, to me, is the direct result of real purchasing power of the average family dropping and builders having to do their equivalent of shrinkflation.

The correction proposed in this article of gov't requiring that new homes be energy efficient and directly paying for it I think strikes the right balance. I would even go further and put money up for every home to be updated and retrofitted.

Government regulation bad market good is too naive and is a meaningless statement in abstract. You have to look at each case and the real effects market distortions will have.
But they can run DoH on any server, they don't have to use CloudFlare or Google or whatever. So any port 80 connection is suspect. Same for any port 443 connection with DoT. Or any port whatsoever if they run their DNS (on any transport) on a "non-standard" port, which is not unheard of for such devices. DNS works on port 5353 just as well as it does on port 53. Redirecting outbound port 53 to your own servers has never been an effective way to stop devices from using their own DNS. DoH and DoT do make it harder to block (since they're authenticated), but even classic DNS can evade simple port-based redirection.
I believe in the advantages of using language based techniques for dealing with distributed systems, but this is buying into the AWS ideology. This ideology can be summarized that your application is composed of infinitely scalable functions which sounds great until you account for the overhead. Then, you wake up and realize you are being nickle'd and dime'd to death.

Thank you! I wrote your points down. We're still learning how to make it most usable.

We know the start and end timestamps on a word level and we know the current player time. So all we do is set a CSS class on the words that are currently playing. We not only highlight the current word, but also the words that are close in time. This is what generates the effect.

We just released autoscroll, which is something that was requested often.
I've never heard the "splinting" explanation before. I've been told that it's the body's way of prioritizing the routing of plasma and red/white blood cells to the damaged area for cell repair and immune response as well as clearing out damaged tissue. I've also been told that the only bad inflammation is chronic inflammation.

This was from a sports medicine doctor during a conversation about our sports trainers. The doctor was also against the heavy use of cryotherapy by our trainers because, according to her, it prolonged recovery. She actually encouraged applying heat instead of cold for non-injuries (e.g., post-workout, pre-competition, etc.) where your body may not have an inflammatory response to increase blood flow to the areas and that applying cold would just increase the chance of actual injury.
Could you try one of the remote services like Better Help? (I have no idea if they have good therapists, I just see their name a lot lately).
Ah, maybe there is a point so far not mentioned:

For a hint, the work was at the NIF, National Ignition Facility.

Even to start a wood fire, need an ignition facility. Then the fire continues on its own putting out much more energy than was used with the matches or whatever during the ignition. Then the energy from the fire ignites the wood that is not yet burning.

As we now know, once
the nuclear reaction is ignited, the reaction generates more energy than was used with the lasers for the ignition. Then, sure, we can expect that the energy of the reaction should, without more energy from lasers, have the reaction continue.

Right, I'm ignoring a long list of what are sometimes called engineering details, e.g., that this is inertial confinement fusion!

Ah, at one time I worked for KMS, that is the company of Kip M. Siegel, as at Google and Wikipedia:

"KMS Fusion was the first and only private sector company to pursue controlled thermonuclear fusion research through use of laser technology."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_Siegel

The report at the time was that KMS had achieved fusion neutrons.

Hmm ....

I didn't work on fusion but was hired because I knew quite a lot about the fast Fourier transform (FFT).
> I'm a pity case and an example case of how not to throw one's life away.

You may not be envied, but there's nothing wrong with not having a wife and kids. I'm a bit older, had a relationship/marriage for 23 years, with a child, but we divorced. Online dating was depressing for me, so I live alone now (although I do frequently see my daughter), and I'm in peace with that. Currently worried about my elderly mother, though.

You haven't "thrown away your life", that's American movie bullshit. Get a job, feed and clothe yourself and enjoy the simple things in life.
Same here - I think it’s more photosensitivity than anything else that makes Dark mode better for me.

As for astigmatism - I’d say wearing your glasses so you don’t strain / squint and stress your muscles is probably the best way to avoid strain. I have it pretty bad but it’s stabilized over the years with the right prescription and the correct degrees of rotation.
All of that has changed, since they’ve achieved ignition in 2021 and then confirmed the result here.
https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.6.2.2022121...

The way to capture the energy and make it into electricity was studied here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Inertial_Fusion_Energy

But it had been premature before they achieved ignition. You don’t build a boiler before you even have been able to spark a flame.
Yes, fiction works because the layout is simple, consisting of text, and maybe images?

Research papers are far more complex, and have established standards that aid quick reading and parsing. I absolutely don't want to deal with reflowing equations, reflowing figures, or whatever when publishing papers. Precise margins and column widths.
Another feature is that you can now run VS Code inside, so now Emacs finally has a decent text editor:

It's not alternative views that are shadow banned. It's people on a Rust post ranting about the current US president, for example. It's Terry A. Davis (may he rest in peace) throwing insults at Jews and black people during one of his fits on this forum.

Not all ideas are not all equally worthy. The hard problem always is "who decides what is worth and what isn't?", but "everything is worth something" is too simplistic an answer, in my opinion.
Therapy is a must.

You are in Germany, is this correct?

(if not, and if you have the possibility [from your username], actually consider moving back there as access to free mental health care is much easier)

Germany has Krankenkassa-covered access to therapy, and even Krankenkassa-covered clinics specializing in recovery from depression and other conditions - many times no pills, multimodal talk and art therapy approaches.

See any registered family doctor / Hausarzt ASAP: speak about your symptoms and ask about your options. If you are an EU citizen and already living in Germany, you will be covered by the European Health Insurance Card.

If you don't speak German, there are several 'tricks' to make the system work for you nevertheless ;)

PS: Resort only to *licensed*, accredited professionals - accept only what's paid by the Krankenkassa, as they have made the due-diligence. You shouldn't have to pay (almost) anything yourself!

Finally, very important: Make sure you only engage with professionals YOU FEEL comfortable with. The German system allows you to try out a number of different therapists before committing to one - ask the doctor who will prescribe the psychotherapy how this works, or your Krankenkassa directly.
Oh, the dried yeast sometimes fails for me as well. Sometimes partially but not completely, in which case I add two packets (even though one should be enough as per instructions).

But I don't feel like paying for mystery yeast. I found a brand of fresh yeast which never failed for me, and it's worth keeping in the fridge.
But, worse is better!
You can’t blame yourself for the past all you do is keep moving forward. Asking for help is a good first step. Here is my advice:

Step 1. See a Doctor. Even a primary care doctor can prescribe medication. You’ve been through a lot these past few years, and while therapy can help you solve underlying issues, medications can help you until that is an available option.

Step 2. Once you are stabilized figure out what’s most important. Do you want a job, to get married, move to the US? They are all possible but you can’t focus on three #1 priorities. What if you meet a girl who doesn’t want to relocate?

Bottom line, you are depressed. I’ve been there, it sucks. Get your mind right first. That will help you tackle your goals and dreams.

Meanwhile you have family, you have your health, and you still have time. I was 45 when I made my third career change. My email is in my profile and I’m happy to talk
Every dirt-poor nation in Eastern Europe wants to become part of the EU, especially because of the billions in handouts of the so-called "Infrastructure Funds" which are being pilfered and used to finance nepotistic and corrupt anti-democratic political movements in both Hungary and Poland.

Obviously Ukraine wanted a piece of that cake. And so does Belarus and every other former Soviet state al the way to Turkmenistan.

I would not compare euthanasia and abortion.

Euthanasia is a choice you make governing your own life.

Abortion is a choice you make governing another being’s life.

I had a great middle school teacher who would always get us to talk about politics, around the Bush 92 era. She told us about this election being the one where the better looking guy won, because TV existed.

But it sounds like it was mostly an "accident" on both sides, or at least Nixon's, due to not understanding the new medium.

What Bernays did was more sophisticated IMO -- it was intentional "hacking" of public opinion, fueled by money. This includes helping to overthrow a democratically elected government in Guatemala (which BTW people told me about decades ago, but I failed to pay enough attention to)
Actually, there is evidence this is overplayed. In the U.K. there are multiple newspapers owned by Murdoch.

During the Brexit referendum campaign, one came out pro-Remain (The Times), and one pro-Leave (The Sun). Which one did Rupert want to win?

In truth his media has perfected the echo chamber: they echo back to the audience what they already believe.

It’s for this reason a middle class paper and working class paper can be so divided and why his US operational flagship (Fox News) can be vehemently politically opposed to his UK operational flagship (The Times).

He’s not schizophrenic - he knows to play his hand very, very lightly and the rest of it is all based on audience research these days.
Wait, who is it a race to the bottom for?

Well, of late, NS's have been fond of misusing "hallucinate" likewise which means a non-veridical perception. And they're using it to mean a veridical constructed perception.

You’re missing my point, or you’re reading GP in a way that I am not. Paying up front for expected energy usage does not place the risk (future price variation) on the bank. It’s just a lump sum. There’s nothing for the bank to hedge.
There is fake it till you make it (which is what you are suggesting) and ignoring reality.

Privacy part, sure if true. I'd argue it doesn't make sense to charge them more than what Google paid, which used the data for ads. Epic I'd imagine uses the data more for tracking dau and less nasty reasons.

For the second part of tricking millions of players into making unintended purchases, idk about this one. In Fortnite for example, it's pretty transparent when you are paying real money. You either buy v-bucks to then purchase skins. Or you buy the season pass once and it's clear real money is involved. Anytime I talk with kids, it seems like they are fully aware it takes real money to buy them and they are either saving up or asking their parents for b-day/Christmas to get v-bucks or the season pass.
As others mentioned i would seek professional advice.

But here's my anecdotal advice, whenever i feel self pity and overwhelmed to the level where i don't know where to start, i try to get back to basics and focus on small picture stuff that are within my control.
Anything that you'd be happy with doing for the day, that depends on only yourself and not other's approval.

Start with trying to improve your mental health and mood, wether its a small level of exercise, better diet, saying yes to any social occasion, change of scenery ...

Once my mental outlook improves, the rest of my approach to life improves.

P.S the fact that you took steps to reach out for help is a good sign
The irony is that the people I find to be most toxic in video games are the children. To the point that in a lot of "Looking for Group" Discord channels you see people saying "18+ only".
As a general rule, I don't think we should blame the victims. If someone got scammed, we shouldn't go "well if they were smart enough they wouldn't have fallen for it".

However in the case of pump and dumps, I would like to point out that the victims were trying to be successful pumpanddumpers themselves, but failed. These people didn't have a problem with putting their money on the line to try and sell to a great fool. For this reason I can't empathize much with these people (though of course it's still fraud and the fraudsters should still go to jail).

I find it interesting to note that at least one of the victims there was aware of this to some degree. He's the guy who put I think 7k into it and says "I just wanted to hatch the eggs and play in the ecosystem". Someone who just wants to play in the ecosystem will spend $50 and buy call of duty, not $7k for pictures of eggs. No, this guy is perfectly aware that he was trying to be a fraudster himself, and now they it turns out he's the victim he feels the need to point out that he just wanted to play, I guess out of embarrassment. Yeah, right.
This is not, thankfully, news of ug99 making its way to Europe.
I had the same thing happen in my city. After I had been waiting for 20-30 minutes, I was attacked by a stranger and left unconscious and bloody in a nearby alleyway. After explaining this to Uber, they informed me that the 'no-show' fee I was charged would stand. It wasn't their fault I was attacked, but I will never use Uber again.
Indeed. I typically point companies to the aptly named https://www.privacypolicies.com which I’ve found to be configurable enough for most. There are productized legal consultations available, too.

As someone who also understands the challenges of guiding a business through implementing finely tailored privacy policies, you’re in a position to read between the lines and empathize when you a see a business that collects and uses data more minimally than their policy claims.
Got married at 45, moved to the US at 49 and have had a great 10 years here and life is good. Before then I was not in a good place, same for my future wife, we got lucky and found each other and then made it work.
Some luck/work was involved - met my wife as we were both running websites for our respective daughters soccer teams, got my job in the US because I was active in the online s/w tester community and saw a posting for a job in Michigan which turned out to be the best move I ever made.

The main disadvantage of having a custom language, for a user is, having to learn a bespoke language for a single tool. Very few are willing to do this. As a company, it is generally a distraction from delivering value. Engineers like it because it is interesting work to write a language.

Most should not use HCL as an argument for forcing bespoke languages on users. (1) HCL is not a programming language, more of a config language. (2) It was the right time and place, but has shown rough edges as it has aged, it feels more hacky now.

I think the coolest thing about this tool that I haven't seen mentioned yet is randomizing homework and tests for students on pen and paper without an expensive web platform.
