~15% people with depression see very large benefit from antidepressants, but and the general population does see some benefit. So the drug companies aren’t at fault any more than makers of antibiotic are at fault when someone prescribes them for a viral infection.

The problem is it’s very easy to prescribe something and much harder to verify it’s working. Just look at everyone who genuinely believes in homeopathy etc that are dependent on the placebo effect. You hand out a drug and people say it’s making a difference in their life so you keep prescribing it.
Every evening, owners (who were on antidepressants) would put dog in solitary for the night. They had a special room for this. Dog found it very stressful.

Eventually dog, knowing what horror was coming, would get upset as evening approached.

Owners, on the advice of a dog-psychiatrist, put dog on antidepressants to cure the upsettedness.

It's emblematic of something.

I get your living language counter-argument, but I must say that I enjoyed reading it and taking it under consideration precisely because it was well formulated.

However, I’d say that just because something is “living”, that doesn’t mean that it’s also saved from deterioration.

I have a genuine question.

Why every online password manager (lilke lastpass, 1 pass etc) uses PBKDF2 instead of Argon2id, scrypt, bcrypt, Lyra2?
The integrated toolchain/build system and C/C++ compiler + easy interop is clearly well designed, valuable and practical.

The only grips I have, so far, are some syntax idiosyncrasies.

I am also afraid that their metaprogramming system will not turn out to be as a net positive. It is undeniably powerful (like all systems of this type are) and better designed than previous attempts, and yet this lead to issues about readability/debuggability and inflated compilation time.

The old adage, less is more, is something that should be taken into account with programming language design.

This is a misunderstanding of the research.

Firstly it is making the fallacious assumption that the shift applies via a large improvement in extreme cases rather than a small improvement to each case.

Secondly, there are flaws in the study methodology. Depressive symptoms come and go by nature, and people seeking pharmacological treatment will more often than not be at a lower point in the cycle, so it is only natural that they will improve in time on average. There is also the problems with the fact that depression is assessed via self-reported questionnaires which have a ton of issues.

To say "The research has shown unequivocally that the benefits, such as they are, for the majority of people derive from the placebo effect" is unsupported by the evidence.
ATC can get them back down, but no new flights should start.
> How many projects have you starred and how many have you cloned?

I seldom star, but neither you nor I can be extrapolated to the general community. I have thousands of stars in some repos, and I know a significant number of those users don’t even code, let alone clone repos or copy code, they’re interested in the final product. They have GitHub accounts because it’s the way to report bugs or make feature requests.

The OP made a claim. All I’m looking to understand is if it has data backing it up or it’s just a gut feeling, because if it’s the former I’ll have learned something and made a correction of my mental model of the world. Sharing more anecdotes will leave us stuck in the same situation.

Yes, decade-length timescales are more reasonable than looking at outlier temperatures which occur in a year-by-year basis. One of the two worthwhile citations that Guardian article provides shows changing trends over the course of centuries: https://www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/events/climate-tipp...

On an unrelated note, that Guardian article is so bad, there are like two references to proper peer-reviewed scientific articles and all the other references are to older Guardian articles... and none of the references are properly cited. It's almost as bad as a Crowder article, really shoddy journalism.
Depression is such a generic symptom it's often confused with a disease. I maintain that it is not. There are a ton of things that cause depression, and often psychiatrists just prescribe an anti-depressant and off you go, especially in countries where doctors have an incentive to medicate people instead of curing them.

I've been mildly anxious and depressed all my life, and it's gotten worse in the past few years. Then I learned I might have ADHD, got diagnosed, medicated with a stimulant, and I'm not depressed anymore.

I am pretty sure if I had gone to a psychiatrist instead of investing into long term therapy with a psychologist (that eventually suspected I might have ADHD), I would have probably been given an SSRI and sent on my way. I hate imagining how my life would have turned out, yet the sad stories of undiagnosed ADHD sufferers put on SSRI are very common.

Right, a metastudy where one of the stipulations is:

"We excluded ... trials that ... included 20% or more of participants with ... treatment-resistant depression"

And still the result is:

"46 (9%) of 522 trials were rated as high risk of bias, 380 (73%) trials as moderate, and 96 (18%) as low; and the certainty of evidence was moderate to very low."

And the cognitive bias is towards efficacy. We've raised and taught two generation of people who believe in a thoroughly defunct theory of 'chemical imbalance'. SSRIs are conceived from this idea and presented as evidence of this idea, but it simply does not hold up under scrutiny [1].

Hehe, the tldr was still too long for my time/attention. However...

> It’s much saner to have one car break down and allow 999,999 people to keep on schedule.

Obviously that's very wrong, as we know that one car breaking down on the freeway has a major negative effect on everything behind it. And if it's something bigger than one car... I recall one evening in Dallas when a chemical tanker turned over and created a situation which required all traffic on a major freeway to take an exit, use the access road, and then eventually return to the freeway. Even though it was after evening rush out, the ripple effect eventually spanned to two sequentially related freeways. Basically long road travel in the city stopped for hours.

In my mental fantasy, I see two vertical levels. One is for passengers and operates with more connections and stops, and one is for cargo (where transfers can be fully automated like with a successful airport luggage routing system... or probably some kind of system which Amazon has already perfected at scale).

They two improvements I see over today's public transport realities are:

1. If greenfield is possible, which unfortunately it really is not (unless we are planning a whole new urban environment), there is a physical network design which balances maximum travel time from any point to any point. This would be something elevator designers have already managed for big towers, I would think. But this time, it's in two dimensions.

2. There are novel temporary linkings of different vehicles to allow passengers to transfer from one to another without stopping either vehicle. I suppose in the extreme case, each passenger could be in a small sit/stand capsule, and some plucking and moving of capsules could be done by robotic systems which are aware of everything (including route/dest.)

Really, these are just lame solutions based on our current understanding of nature. Teleportation is the best answer ;).

> I fear that allowing private/venture capital to intervene will further solidify existing discrimination issues in the long term, even if it may show quick improvements short term

South Africa's discrimination issues are largely due to the state and not private capital or the private sector.

The private sector on the whole would be happy to hire and provide services to any race or ethnicity, but the state has always aggressively intervened in favor of certain ethnic groups. During Apartheid it was intervening in favor of white people, today it's in favor of black Africans.

Many of the current discrimination issues are a result of the (Apartheid) state actively impeding the economic development of black people.

The current electricity crisis is in no small part due to the current state actively discriminating against skilled white employees (forcing them into early retirement, hiring based on race and not skills, forcing Eskom to procure from black-owned companies who are often just middle-men adding huge markups due to their regulatory capture).

Unfortunately this is a fairly shortsighted and superficial article which results in severely reducing the pool of people you can work with to a native speaker heavy demographic. The core of the problem is that it assumed care for detail in a domain the writer of the article is comfortable with, translates to care for detail in every other domain. I find this to be a particular self centric view of the world. It is self evidently false, particularly when you are talking about non native speakers who require significantly more time and effort to achieve parity in English expressiveness.
This is unfortunate and is a reflection of parts of corporate America that confuse form for substance. It’s where long performative meetings, low signal to noise PowerPoint presentations, and dress to impress culture originated in the corporate world. Fortunately not all companies think this way, and say what you will about the tech sector, it has significantly moved away from performative corporate America behavior. It has brought other problems to the world, but performative corporate antics was not one of them.

If I print the NOTAMs for a 600nm flight, they're going to typically go 4+ pages of NOTAMs that are fairly specific to my flight (just for departure, along route, and destination airports) and 15+ pages if I print all available NOTAMs in a fairly small font.
Something like this maybe:

typedef int (*unsetenv_prototype)(const char *name);
static unsetenv_prototype real_unsetenv = NULL;

int unsetenv(const char *name)
{
if (!real_unsetenv) {
*(void **) &real_unsetenv = dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "unsetenv");
msg = dlerror();
if (msg) {
fprintf(stderr, "Failed to override unsetenv(): %s\n", msg);
fflush(stderr);
real_unsetenv = NULL;
return -1;
}
}
if (strcmp(name, "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH") == 0) /* suppress sanitizing this */
return 0;
return real_unsetenv(name);
}

Assuming unsetenv() is what is used to do the sanitizing. Might be more likely execve() is what needs to be intercepted though, and by then, it's too late, (unless you just need to jam in a constant value known ahead of time).

Edit: another idea. If it only sanitizes certain variables, but not random ones, override setenv() and getenv(), and when passed DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, instead set/get "MY_SPECIAL_LIBRARY_PATH", which isn't sanitized, and just set that instead of DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

> Do they all have major depressive disorder?

Given that women have to bear an utter majority of the workload summarized as "care work", anything from raising children over household chores to caring for elderly relatives, on top of female-specific health issues like painful periods or endometriosis (10% of women [1], and that is before under-diagnosis or late diagnosis comes into play [2]), it makes sense that a lot of women end up with depression-related symptoms. Other societal factors that increase load on women (like the drug crisis, absent fathers, rampant sexism and misogyny in society, the recent barrage of threats to womens' lives and reproductive health) also come as an additional risk factor.

Additionally, as women have entered the work force over the last decades for a number of reasons, it also makes sense they now have rising rates of work-related mental health issues like burnout and depression.

And what also must not be forgotten is a severe under-diagnosis for mental health in men. Barely half the men that self-report symptoms of depression or other mental health issues actually seek out help [3], my personal guess is that this is to a large degree because the historic image of "male-ness" outright ignores mental health issues and labels men that seek help for these as "weak", which has been shown for PTSD in var veterans. Women have it "easier" from social expectations, which may help to hide the fact that, were men equally invested in their mental health, they'd end up at the same ratio of depression!

Sigh. No mention of the trade-offs. There's simpler ways to do all these things. Celery is a big complex beast and it always pains me to see it as the default suggestion for simple tasks.
I have a very good friend who is in tech recruiting. I feel for them a lot.

But I also can’t justify this ratio. When times are good they ramp up to support wild hiring.

Even if times are still good you hit some critical mass where the recruiter count just doesn’t make sense.

As much as they can be annoying at times, recruiters do get used and abused.

I finally realized what actually bothers me about shopping physically vs online these days is (a) the lack of "sort by price, ascending" & (b) the lack of ability to get a reference or "fair" price for similar items.

Similar, with video the key missing feature is deep search.

It's mind bogglingly sad YouTube didn't focus more on improving this after being acquired: they have all the components to build a solution! And it's a natural outgrowth of Google's dead tree book digitization efforts!

I assume it was harder than just relying on contextual signals (links and comment text) to classify for ad targeting purposes. Also probably why they also incentivized ~10 min videos over longer/shorter.

Which is sufficient for advertisers, but utterly useless for viewers.

It makes me cry that we're missing a future where I could actually get deep links to the portion of all videos that reference potatoes (or whatever).

It's a diversity shakedown. Extortion racket.
Part of the reason for the disparity is that people's genetics can drastically influence what effect particular drugs have. Switching drugs is a pain as one is supposed to taper off the old one, then switch to the new one and wait 4-12 weeks for the new one to take effect. If one drug works "good enough" then you're unlikely to want to even try a different one.

I finally took a DNA test last year after reading about it (a "pharmacodynamics" one that your doctor has to order). Reading the results showed that all of the antidepressants that I had tried in the past were ones that I either had a gene to metabolize too fast or another gene that said they'd be ineffective for me.
