I learned this week that "occupational burnout" [1] often results in the brain developing a trauma response to the idea of returning to the same job/tasks, which is why people will sometimes entirely switch careers. It absolutely is the brain trying to protect itself.

Not all forms of burnout results in trauma responses, but they all require extended recovery. Burnout is preventable, but once it has been reached, the damage has been done and rest is required. No joke: 3-6 months is the usual recovery time.

Paths to occupational burnout:
- No mental rest from work. "Taking it home with you." Often skipping breaks to keep focused.
- Jobs that require high amounts of mental processing for long periods (customer service, development, troubleshooting, multitasking, urgent-response).

"Brown out" is the stage when you're still capable of functioning in spurts, but your brain/body is sending warning signs (that we have been taught to ignore).

No, it doesn’t. It’s just an example that clearly demonstrates how meritless “this is OK because it was common in the past” is as an argument.
The market (german industrialists in case of Hitler, military-industrial complex in case of USA, East India Company in case of GB if you want to go deeper in history) has its quite significant share. Ignoring that is being willfully ideologically blind.
Throughout human history you had societies that would kill or shame the elderly because they became burdens on society. Simplifying it to just be that 'taking care of one parents was every adults duty' isn't really correct at all. Many it was the duty of the son. In Roman times if you were not of use to society you were considered a burden. Poorer families would leave the elderly to die, richer ones would marry younger women to serve as caregivers.
>> The higher that niceness exists in the social order, the greater its contemporary benefit

Could also be said that the more niceness, the more likely that not-nice actors will violently overthrow the nice ones.

As an example, we have had numerous bee hives at our place. The bees that never mess with us when we come near their hives are more likely to get robbed by another hive and destroyed. The bees that would sting us when we came near were rock solid - they never got robbed or collapsed.

If the US didn't have overtime rules and required health care for full time jobs, people could work just a single job if they needed to work more hours to make ends meet. They would save a lot of time on commuting especially since many poor people use much slower public transportation to get to their jobs. They would also probably have more reliable schedules. Having a society that people only need to work 40hr/wk might be a good idea (hell, why not the 4 hour work week while we are at it) but the current system encouraging that seems to have failed.
People need to understand the difference between lifespan and healthspan.

While some may prioritize extending their life, I personally prioritize improving the quality of my life while I am alive.

Salary is an objective number. Performance is a subjective assessment by someone who may favor or disdain you. "Accomplishments" tends to leave out the effort put in by those around you.

I don't think I know of a single manager I've worked with who would have been as honest in performance reviews if they knew their feedback wasn't going to be confidential.

All of that is to say I wouldn't put much, if any, stock in such information.
I'm a parent to four little kids, and I've spent a ton of time at home with them over the last few years. When I take them to the park, it's often so that I can have a break, because it's a safe place for them to spread out and explore and interact with someone other than me, where I'm not constantly preventing them from breaking things or making a big mess. That's where I can take some time to read, or listen to something, or make a phone call. The other 11 hours of the day when they're awake and we're at home, I don't necessarily have time to do anything for myself on a screen.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I suspect that you're right, in fact. But what's happening at the park might not be the best indicator.

Not knowing too much about sound engineering myself, I tried comparing it to software engineering. At the end of the day what matters is your output and learning along the way. It seems the author has a gripe with people calling themselves producers.

If someone said I can’t call myself a software engineer until I had interned at XYZ company and understood Kubernetes, Docker, Typescript, AWS, Rust, etc. I would say ok and?

Canada?

In an astonishing statement to the New York Times in 2015, Justin Trudeau declared, "There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada," and consequently that "makes us the first post-national state."

I don't know the US situation, but in my city in Europe, there is a factor 2 to 3 for flats in fashionable location compared to my location. I have the same traveling distance to the city center, but my location has less public transport options. Schools are ok, it's even better than in the fashionable district, and I have less criminality.

I've spoken to a few colleagues who just arrived in the city from another region, and they all went into the fashionable district without considering any other locations, because someone from that district told them any other district is bad.
The fact is that if you bought your flat in this fashionable district, it doubled in value over 7 years, whereas in my district, prices went up 50% at most.

For me it is the same as the stock market, people follow the trend and smart folk get out before it goes downhill.
That’s a valid perspective too!

(Hi!) I think I’m seeing it, too. A number of IRL friends I’ve made were originally just known online until I moved out and we began hanging out in person (after we confirmed none of us are secretly human traffickers). I believe that non-virtual connection is always going to remain important. People who are social butterflies use things like Discord, Instagram, datings apps, and Twitter to really just optimize what they already had going for them in real life, and are having more success than they could have had in a past time, imo.
Only one home is deductible:
“ The interest you pay on a mortgage on a home other than your main or second home may be deductible if the proceeds of the loan were used for business, investment, or other deductible purposes. Otherwise, it is considered personal interest and isn't deductible. Main home. You can have only one main home at any one time.”

You're right, but that's because Reddit is a place where people with crippling social anxiety who hate people, tend to hang out online.

There's an entire industry of highly compensated people built around the idea that you can pick investment winners.

Banks have commercial lending departments that fill this function. Doesn't help with startup capital, but I doubt that is the limiting factor preventing most people from starting a successful business.

I agree with your rational conclusion, India should continue to invest in science, technology and space. It's the way to go, more players in space the better.

That said, the sentiment isn't unique to India, and NASA is questioned the same since forever. "Will not tolerate" isn't something that one should feel or write against an opinion, even when presented in a sarcastic way. Make fun of it, argue against it, or ignore it, after all India isn't going to stop its space program because someone in NYT published a cartoon.

Ask HN: What percentage of time are you wearing headphones/earbuds?
Ever since noise-cancelling headphones became popular and affordable, I've noticed myself becoming pretty incessantly attached to them. Probably 75% of my awake time I am wearing them and/or listening to something, and while I don't think this is terribly abnormal, I'm almost certain it's been terrible for my mental capacity.

Beyond that I have running theory that noise cancelling contributes to my depression by further enforcing a sort of isolation.

Curious if anyone else has felt the same effects.
A decent reason to have rooftop solar is that it reduces daytime distribution node demand which reduces wholesale commodity prices and takes pressure of the electricity delivery infrastructure (wires, transformers, etc). These are real costs we all pay in terms of capacity and distribution.
I've bought the 3 Pro a while back as well, and only did the recommended upgrades at the start (bed springs, metal extruder, filament guide) and it's been printing flawlessly since. I haven't needed to even level the bed at all (though I'll need to replace it soon as it's all worn out by now lol).

But the old Ender 3 is infamous for being hit and miss in setup, the point is that they now have the V2 and other lines which apparently just work out of the box because they're almost fully assembled, much like the old Prusas. Their head start in that area is gone.
You got downvoted for this comment, but you have a good point. I'm sure plenty of people would have loved to take care of their parents in their old age rather than have them pass away at a relatively young age.

"Putting your life on hold" is a pretty cold view of things. I'm not sure I'd call the effort to take care of your family "putting your life on hold". It is life itself. Life is more than your career and the money you have in the bank.

Family gets old, family get sick, family die. It's not easy and yeah, you may need to sacrifice some things you want because of it. It's just the human condition.
Great, those checks can stay in "serious" code, and those of us who don't want them can take the UB. C++ 20 actually ended up specifying that all ints are twos complement, removing this from the category of "UB," but a lot more weird stuff is programmed in C.

Not Prusa anyway. I spent weeks building it from the kit. I spent days calibrating it. I printed few parts. Never got perfect first layer, but it works more or less. Then I updated firmware month later and tried to recalibrate it. It crushed printing head into the table. I'm afraid to turn it on now. It's going to take another few days to remember what's it's all about, to read all the manuals and watch all the videos, to grease rods and so on. May be I'll do it one day.

I guess that some "industrial"-grade printers like Ultimaker should be better in that regard, but I'm not sure about that.

Not every 2D printer is good either. I have Epson printer which refused to print stuff after few months of downtime. I managed to recover it by doing some "cleaning nozzle" procedure, but I don't think it was guaranteed to work. Though it was my failure because I was hooked on this promise "buy ink not proprietary cartridge with chip". I'd better buy ordinary HP laser jet with proprietary cartridge instead, those inkjet printers are not well suited for my use-case (printing few pages once a year).
> It's not the monsters (except for stuff present everywhere like dragons).

And Trolls that regenerate except when hit by fire or acid. And giant Golems made out of various magic metals.

And evil priests/clerics who follow under Gods of chaos (Rezo the Red Priest)

> It's not the spells (except for stuff present everywhere like fireballs). It's not the classes.

The Priestess/Cleric Sylphiel does healing spells. Lina, the sorcerer cannot heal as per the rules of DnD. Gourry is strictly a fighter with a magic weapon.

Lina not only has access to the DnD spell fireball, but also regularly casts Levetate (which is locked to the sorcerer class)

Clerics like Sylphiel have healing, scrying, flame "arrow" (likely a custom spell based off of Flame Strike + Japanese Miko-archer archetype?).

> It's not the power scaling.

Magical artifacts like the Philosophers stone that have literal connections with the gods is exactly the kind of adventure that DnD was designed to be about.

--------

The year is 1990. There are very few tabletops that have been translated to Japanese. And we here have a novel about trolls, dragons, magic weapons, sorcerors vs clerics and different spell lists for them that line up with DnD spell lists. The party of Lina, Goury, and Amelia/Sylphiel line up with the original DnD 1st edition (1974) Wizard, Fighter, Cleric (Rogue wasn't invented yet). This also happens to be the edition that was translated into Japanese in 1985.

Most of these concepts (trolls, western dragons, fireball spells, philosopher stone) are Western lore and have no history in Japanese folklore.

The similarities are uncanny. It's clearly not just inspired by 'some tabletop system's
, but by DnD itself. Yeah, there's custom spells like Dragon Slave or whatever. But custom spells and custom magic items were part of DnD from the start.
Things have improved, for sure.
Chinese panels are cheap because they use slave labor to produce them.

20k comment karma since 2019 seems like a lot of time on HN to me.
Soooo tired of people with their eyeballs too close together scolding others about this based on an idealized postcard-picture idea of what a typical family is. “Strong family ties are a good thing” — you know what? In a good family, they’re good; in a bad family, they’re evil. So much of what people call the disintegration of family ties in the past century is really the exposing of outright exploitation, abuse and subjugation inflicted on children by parents with traditional family structures and dependencies as their main lever. It’s decades past time for people to stop talking about blood family ties as if they’re a sacred, unmitigated good. The lived experience of people all around you ought to be a clue.
I like that it looks like a starship dreamed up in the 1950's.
That might be clear (perhaps even tautological) for wealth inequality; as others are discussing, it’s much less “clear” for poverty.

You can certainly draw connections - wealth inequality leading to housing inequality leading to homelessness, but that’s a bit more complicated.

Sakamoto must have died with a bitter taste in his mouth, watching the government try to restart the nuclear plants under the pretext of power shortage. He had always been a vocal opponent of nuclear power, a rare voice in a country that seemed to have forgotten the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He had a sharp wit and a playful style, but also a deep sense of justice and compassion. He would have hated to see his beloved country go down this path of self-destruction.

Thermonuclear burnout is a medium weight depression Episode
Good point. Based on this paper from HHS back in 2000, the Wealth Gini in Sweden in 2000 was around 0.790 [0]. Btw this wealth Gini disparity between the 2000 and 2008 numbers is because the NBER's 2008 model used PPP I believe while HHS and Credit Suisse used nominal.

That said, even in 2000 there was a recognition that there is an intergenerational wealth transfer competent via foundations and families.

And clearly, the big picture takeaway that has been open knowledge in the economics world is that Sweden has consistently had extremely uneven asset ownership - at a level comparable to the United States and Netherlands, two other first world countries dealing with extreme amounts of instability due to asset ownership inequality. And at the end of the day, assets matter more than income.

This is a popular yet awful take
I really don’t blame them. The problem is poverty is extremely expensive to deal with. People in poverty barely have anything, and whatever the government does never seems to be enough. It’s like a black hole where money goes to die.
I'm pretty right wing. The way I see it, most left wing "solutions" to poverty seem to be sticking plasters rather than actual fixes.

We should build enough normal houses in areas people want to live such that 90%+ can afford them, make owning and operating a car affordable, and make raising a family affordable.

I don't think any of this is about spending money. It's more about defining the problem. As I see it the problem is that a ton of people are in a super precarious position, renting their lives with no real stability.
Sounds very hard, but good for you and your family for doing your best.
The more charitable take is they just meant norms change.
Wrong. Google and Facebook would be Ad Tech companies if they sold the ad tech. Instead they use the ad tech to sell ads. So I think it’s more accurate to call them ad companies.

The ways in which MITM attacks are dangerous are not limited to sites running JavaScript. The big one is that MITM can change what you see on sites.

>Venting on the internet that the country you voluntarily moved to doesn't give you the special treatment you were expecting, is just laughable and pointless.

Yes, and unrolling the red white and black in defence of the Reich online is also quite laughable, especially as you claim to not even be German. In the end we are both wasting our time, but I'd rather be on the internet trying to seriously discuss something than aping this strange ultranationalist performance piece of yours. Better still would be to not engage at all.
In America, we don’t believe you are unable to work until you bring a lawsuit in front of a judge with evidence. Any social programs to give money to needy citizens is held up in bureaucratic red tape so they can get higher salaries (paid from funds allocated to the program) and waste more money. My son is autistic and is unable to work and it took four court appearances to get his social security benefits approved.
Nuclear is economically viable where and when regulations are sane. Nobody wants to fund a project that could get shut down on a whim by government after years of work and billions already invested.

You can choose to live really healthily and still end up with a long-lasting degenerative disease. Life is not fair that way.
My family is in a similar boat, and I'm glad for this article because I think people who are shouldering this work don't feel like they have societal licensure to talk about how it is difficult work.

Death, no matter how far we advance medicine or technology or scientific understanding, is ugly. People don't want public conversations about the emotions caregivers wrestle with, I think, because they don't want to acknowledge how much of the labor is fending off the inevitable or how one feels guilty for not literally preventing the impossible. "She could have had one more day if only I" is real guilt. I spoke to a therapist about this, and her advice to me was that that is the first thing in my journey that I needed to come to terms with... But she couldn't hand me an answer because everybody finds their own answer to that issue.

I think Western moral and societal philosophy encourages us to seek our own answer to that issue, but it does a damn poor job of giving us tools to find it or even warning us that it's coming until it's staring us in the face.

I can't kill death so I can't fix it. I can empathize with you and tell you you're not alone in the struggle, for what that is worth.
