There's that, there's also a better understanding of mental illness, so less if it goes unrecognized, undiagnosed, and unrated.

Growing up, I was an intelligent kid (if a bit shy) who just needed to be more organized.

Today, I'm an AuDHD[1] adult who just needs to have others to have different expectations in some cases, and just benefits from having access to Adderall for some of the others.

In college, I was just a sad kid who thought fantasizing about near-death scenarios were something everyone does.

Today, I am certainly not doing that, in no small part thanks to Sertraline, 100mg, and therapy.

The author presents a good case that this time, there's something different than before. An increase in understanding and rates of reporting does not account for increase in suicide rates, for example.

But the bucket mental illness epidemic in the title (and things like the "TikTok autism/ADHD" epidemic) are partially attributed to that.

Then, there's the COVID pandemic lockdowns which pushed many people to their limits, and resulted in a higher rate of both diagnosis/treatment and consequences of mental illness (or unwellness, if I may).

Then, there's the simple fact that kids in the US are growing up in a world with huge economic uncertainty, little chance of making enough money to become homeowners, the potential of nuclear war being discussed in the media, the potential for civil war being nonzero, ballooning healthcare and education costs, climate chnage not being addressed, and...

And after accounting for all that, we may come to the conclusion that it's not that there's anything wrong with the kids or the modern way of life (with the Internet, cell phones, and all that), but that our entire society is fucked in very traditional ways.

The proper comparison should be to the US circa Great Depression, and even then, the possibility of planetwide environmental collapse or nuclear war was not on the minds of anyone.

Now both are a factor (between Greta Thunberg and Elon Musk, we have pretty much the entire world covered), which is giving an extra push to people who aren't well to begin with.

As a Ukrainian-American Jew, I can absolutely say that the war in Ukraine and Israel has affected every aspect of my life in a major way (helping MIL evacuate from Kyiv being the most direct one, survivor's guilt being one of the hardest ones to deal with).

But I guess that I'm not the only one by far.

And I believe we should not be talking about the "Teen Mental Health Epidemic", but rather about how our fucked up world is fucking up the kids.

It's on us to fix the world, rather than the kids (as the word "epidemic" may suggest).

I don't like the unscientific nature of these articles. It "treats" PTSD but they don't define what PSTD is. Idk how PTSD could be quantified since it seems very personal and relative to what a person considered normal for them.
So now you’re saying a company is not allowed to branch out and have any other applications on their own servers?

Should Microsoft also not be allowed to host online Office on Azure?
That's because it's based on user fees. If you want a drug approved, you need to pay to have it reviewed.

Next you'll be telling me that car owners run the DMV.
A lot of that cultural change in attitudes can be traced back to the Etan Patz kidnapping case in 1979. That case received widespread, prolonged media attention at the time which made many parents more fearful. He was one of the first missing children to be featured on milk cartons which made it impossible to ignore.

HP had their own ProCurve networking and they also bought Aruba.

We don't know what HPE is going to do to Juniper specifically, but in general many acquisitions either raise prices or simplify the product line by canceling some products. In this case HPE may cancel some Aruba products and replace them with Mist equivalents.

The large body of Bach's work for solo keyboard instruments would suggestion otherwise. Or Beethoven's many works for solo piano. Or Mozart's.
This looks really good. I wish docker images were available for easy deployment to a Raspberry Pi server
Github unsubscribe is behind a login. Very annoying. We have an account with a company e-mail that is an alias to admins and it was subscribed to a few issues. One morning I got so annoyed with Thunderbird's not working message filters that I took the time to look up the password, login, unsubscribe and disable all nuisance e-mail communication.
My favorite car theme I've seen is the NyanCat one that literally played the Nyan cat song loop the whole race as a sort of psychological weaponry against the other racers (though I imagine the self-inflicted damage exceeded the external).

Crazy that your first assumption is a conspiracy. Ibogaine would never represent any kind of competition to FDA approved pharmaceuticals, because of its cardiotoxicity: it can cause sudden cardiac arrest and death. There are many case studies of sudden death from ibogaine recorded in the literature.
Exactly. This is why people go to jail for having Benadryl
But Arista is probably half the price of Juniper so that doesn't make much sense.
If you don't use the client library (and never expose the anon key) you're most likely fine. If you do (even if just for Supabase Auth or so) your data is exposed and you need to enable RLS on all affected tables ASAP or an attacker can access the entire database, in a similar fashion in which OP did that with Firebase.
Really, so this whole thing could be a $9.99 app on my existing phone :-). And if it is that good then I can delete all the other apps.

Ah already have ChatGPT installed, that'll do :-).
The Robinhood API is of course the API for stock broker Robinhood. Their API, last I used it, probably could have been optimized to provide data in fewer API requests, but aside from that, there are many pieces of data that change constantly, like the current price of a stock. There are pieces of data that change occasionally, like the next earnings report date for a company. Then there are pieces of data that should never change, like a company's CUSIP (essentially the primary key in a database of stocks). When you create an app that relies on data from another API, there is usually a "setup" where all the data your app requires is brought in from the API. I was getting rate-limited during this process (downloading all my watchlists and current holdings, as well as my orders/transactions, metadata about the companies such as the next earnings date, and so forth).

By using Redis and MySQL, I minimized the number of calls the app has to make directly to the Robinhood API. For things like the next earnings date, which changes typically once per 90 days or so, I have Redis store the result of that endpoint from Robinhood for some number of days, probably not 90, but not 1. For things like the current price of a stock, Redis might store that for a minute or two, so that my app can "spam" for the latest prices (maybe I have a refresh button in the app) without triggering a 401 or 403 from the Robinhood API.

TLDR: Since rate limiting prevents my app from pulling all the data it needs at one time - it has to throttle requests - I don't want to have to wait a couple of minutes each time the app is started because it needs to download data from Robinhood, much of which probably hasn't changed since the last time I started the app.
I don't follow. Errors are part of your functional specification. Not even a complete type system can avoid you needing to write tests to document the error conditions. We are not talking about writing tests to stand in where an incomplete type system may be lacking.

Assuming you don't hate other developers, and given the tests you would write in any language, how do you foresee missing an error branch? Again, not specifically trying to test for something that a sufficiently advanced type system would catch, just your regular level documenting that demonstrates to other developers that you don't hate them.

> then you can just as easily forget to add a proper test for that error condition

If an error condition is easily forgotten in the documentation, then who cares about the implementation thereof? It is obviously not important. In fact, it is arguable that your program is incorrect if you do handle the condition in such a case.
Then squarely look at the Ivys. Majority come from there either directly or by lineage.
You just said the exact same thing I said. What part are you confused about? The part about if you keep growing you keep feeling the pain?

Since you mention it — this has nothing to do with fang and was entirely about “paying for” trumps 2017 business tax cut as it was scored by the cbo. As a tax attorney I’m sure you realize the section 174 changes impact business activities beyond what’s allowed under the r&d tax credit.

I’ll be candid, your brevity and snark sort of make you look like an ahole here.
This reads like it was generated by Heritage Foundation GPT.
Thanks for sharing this. We're aware of the challenge and we're considering competing. :)
Agreed, it's difficult not to impart your own preferences on the process but most people appreciate avoiding the rigmarole.
I see this kind of stuff and it makes me feel like I'm the crazy one for asking applicants to show me how they build a birdhouse and judging their merit on how well they do it.
Difficulty = 1 - time in range

Could be something.
Briefly looking at a few other substack sites, I don't see anything like this, so I assume that the author added it.
What you're talking about is the Lifeline program, which was established in 1985 and expanded to include cell phones under the Bush administration. The changes took effect later during the Obama administration, and so it got the nickname "Obama phone" by some. But he didn't have anything to do with it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifeline_(FCC_program)

What you've linked is some unaffiliated site, the official website of the administrator of the program is here: https://www.lifelinesupport.org/
I think this is a huge part of it. Kids need to be able socialize and spend time in their environment without constant supervision. It's not just kids either. What ever happened to parents taking their young children to the local playground? Part of it was for kids, but it was also an avenue for meeting other parents and socializing with them. I think dog parks serve more of a social role than playgrounds these days, and that's pretty sad.
I'm still using Dreamweaver 8 for several web sites. I have to run it under Wine, but it still works.
Hate anything remotely sex-related? Are we talking about Twitch? They have changed their policy a billion times because they seem hell-bent on avoiding censoring sexual content as much as the possibly can. It’s the users that inevitably find a way to push the boundaries so far that they are forced do something, that is usually so half-assed that it doesn’t change much. At this point Twitch is getting closer to a cam site that funnels people to OnlyFans than it is to its gaming roots.

This is almost certainly the definition they are using as it is the standard definition when dealing with psychological illness in any serious context
Patterns of Network Architecture by John Day is a pretty good too if you want to learn the why of how networks are the way they are today.
Does fig.io have this feature?
Their algorithms very likely look at (I hope so, at least) spam marking rates. I would bet that users mark promotional emails at a order of magnitude higher rate than transactional emails.
Much easier said than done. A million camgirls all trying to boost their engagement are going to find ways to game your algorithm faster than you are going to find ways to de-boost them. It’s the same fundamental reason Google is overrun with SEO spam and content farms that they can’t simply “de-boost”.
Show HN: Use Python to Generate Wikitables for US Census Data
This is just a little side project I built to help myself quickly generate US census data for updating population tables on Wikipedia place articles.

Hope this finds some others who find this interesting or have advice. I do not plan to turn this into a bot, but other than that would be curious what others think.

NOTE: the US Census API service does not seem to work anymore outside the US, a VPN can resolve this issue.
If someone steals your laptop and breaks in I think you have many problems equal to, or more severe, than your shell history.
Reclaimed building materials are in high demand. Homes from the 1970s and older usually have excellent lumber, more often than not sourced from old-growth timber. My former home from 1949 sat on a 40-foot 12x12 solid cedar beam, for instance.

The only other stuff in the walls is either in demand (copper, plumbing metals) or we just throw it out (drywall, insulation).

So if these engineered materials are sturdy enough, I would give favorable odds to them being reclaimed.
Quite awesome. I have to appreciate any writer willing to lampoon themselves.

It is perhaps scarier than any horror or psychological thriller when a work of comedy successfully predicts the future (grim or otherwise).
Is the UK not going to sunset 2G? Here in the states the last 2G towers are disappearing here in a couple of months, and much of the network has been gone for years.
Hussein Nasser covers a lot of this on YouTube and has a networking course on Udemy. I love his content.
I'm eagerly waiting for the first electric aerial vehicle that has either autorotation or a glide scope.

I would never fly with something that can't (possibly) land on an engine failure.
> They affect those around you" point a bit because often the drug use is a symptom, the consequences of hopelessness, neglect, depression, abuse etc is whats actually making its presence felt, and even teetotalers have bad life outcomes when they're carrying that around.

Except, they can cause these problems in the first place. I agree that when those problems exist, drugs can make them worse too.
Aviation is in a rut. Boeing isn't all of aviation. Rut busting generally happens from something new. Electric aviation has all the hallmarks of that thing. Basically, everything about designing and operating an electric aircraft is at a lift-off point (pun only partially intended). We are nearing break-even at short distances and likely within a few years long distance aircraft will be possible. When that happens jet engines will die, quickly, and the entire economic structure of every part of aviation will change. (Don't bet on big airports and massive cattle car planes in that new world) This is a recipe for rut busting if I ever heard one. But I can (easily) be wrong and the change may come from other places. I highly doubt however that the change will come from Boeing. They aren't implementing the strategies needed to bust ruts in their practices so they aren't likely to be the source of the change and quite possibly will fail as a company when that change hits.
If you’re sending transactional emails like password resets or MFA, then the emails will have close to a 100% open rate. This is (likely) an important factor that Google uses to judge whether email is transactional, or more generally whether it is desired by recipients, alongside other factors like having a very low complaint rate.
Do we have research on how teen mental health in Asia compares to teen mental health elsewhere?
The semiconductor industry is split into two key components:

- fabs

- engineering design centers

Broadcom is hardly a semi company anymore after all its high-margin software acquisitions (see: VMWare, Computer Associates/"CA Technologies", etc).

Qualcomm doesn't operate any fabs that ship to customers.

Nvidia doesn't make anything.

Many of the others in your list have found profitable niches at scale that are huge value-adds to their customers. The semi space is known for consolidation and many of these players are the last survivor in their field, which lends itself to profitable operations that don't have competitors due to the costs of entry.
Hi, architect here. Wikihouse has been chasing many of the dragons we've been collectively chasing in AEC[0] for... a long time. Seriously I wish I had time to reply to every single comment here because there are a lot of excellent critiques (not just of WH). It shows what kind of communication problem we have in AEC that even the critiques that HAVE good answers within their weelhouse aren't adequately addressed by WH.

In the US nothing is EVER going to beat light gauge wood framing on cost. That's why you see even large (but not tall) complexes build from it.[1] It's been reduced to the 0th degree of expense because of the profit motive. That said, this is only when the "unskilled" labor of rough framing is cheap. But this doesn't necessarily hold for other economies.

The early WH work seemed cartoonishly idealistic (they were literal kids so I don't really fault them). But that foundation never changed and a lot of what they built on that has seemed like solution in search of a problem. Especially when you consider you don't even have to leave the UK to find a better model for self-build[2] and automated modular small scale construction is a really active space right now.

Other competitors[3] actually have online configurators that work well to arrange these kinds of elements. But they've realized that's where the value is and are holding their systems closer so they can maintain quality and monetize the expertise they brought to bear.

And yet other systems have been using industrial scale and logics to great effect for a long, long time.[4]

TBH the "open source" aspect is really kind of a gimmick. Their designs are useless without the overall system and the system is useless without some way of arranging it all properly. Plus - what are you going to do - buy and learn to run a mill, work your own ply with an extremely slow machine, assemble it in this (ridiculously) finicky way, source and install the insulation properly yourself, and still be confronted with the nontrivial tasks of... everything that's not structure and insulation? Not to mention approvals. In the end you'd need an architect to do all this for you. And... doesn't that defeat the point? It's very generous that they've assembled all the guides they have but there are cheaper and more flexible construction systems (light gauge wood, block, SIPS, ICF, etc) that are much more mature, non-proprietary (except ICF), much better documented, and much easier to train a helper or two for assistance.

I really do appreciate what they're -trying- to do. But again, I just think it's a solution in search of a problem.

Depends on how you define 'technology'. When the government needs you to fill out a form, you can go to their office and they provide the printed form and a pen. Paper and printing are human inventions, therefor I would consider them 'technology' for purposes of this debate.

That said, I know it's a bit of a leap from paper to internet access. In my country at least, I can say confidently that there is a law mandating free access to government services. At least such services that you are required by law to interact with.
No one ever shows what these should and could actually be used for - incredibly boring and repetitive tasks. "Hey rabbit, respond to the support ticket you just told me about with XYZ". "Hey rabbit, find all of the sales meetings I had last week, cross reference the emails of the attendees with existing emails threads, and then generate follow ups for each. Keep them short, to the point, and read them back to me before you send"

Like where is this? This is what I want. Not some voice assisted way of booking an Uber or some shit.
Yeah the Marco Arment approach of "I'm one guy, please don't ask me to spend my time on support instead of development" is clearly the correct one at that scale.

Like absolutely you want to accept bug reports and feedback, but your users should not expect active help with normal usage.
The recent pandemic had minimal impact on US life expectancy. Opioid poisoning and motor vehicle crashes have been a larger factor since before 2019 because they typically kill much younger people. This magnifies the impact on life expectancy.

I'd recommend a loose autox day. Basically a car handling clinic on a course with no real rules except to run the course as many times as you like for the day at various speeds and such. Great way to learn how much grip your tires have, when you'll start to spin out, and how to recover.

Some orgs do this, like SpeedSF in the Bay Area.

I'd recommend an HPDE after that if it's something someone would like to try (basically a track day with a coach who rides along with you every session to give advice and instruction).
Being always online wasn’t quite so shitty til the last 10-15 years. Many people did it and were just fine for a long time. To me this feels like blaming food poisoning on the fact you have to eat food. Maybe the food is just bad.

the current state of online is the food. it just really sucks.
Then every software company should have every software engineer recorded at all times, as everything we work on is composed together in ways that hold dramatic sway over others lives.

I'd like to point out that one thing the tech industry is bad about is figuring out which technology to definitely not build. In fact, we've collectively resisted any attempt at so doing.
Unfortunately, door 1 is maybe $200 bounty and weeks or months of back and forth (if the corp doesn't have a clear bounty program) whereas door 2 has infinite upside. Honestly, it might make sense for a gov group to run a standardized bounty program for exploits with notable financial / privacy impact.
What about the public influence campaigns that are ran openly on television? How well have we managed to quantify the effect that has on the public?

They also take place without any oversight.
In Belgium, most (big) banks are downscaling physical servicepoints so much it sometimes is almost impossible for people to choose to do business in person.

In think in 10 years you will have almost no real bank tellers anymore. That's no problem for most of the people, but I don't think that the right thing to do in the broader sense. There are lots of (technology) illiterate people that needs some kind of physical service.
I still remember the IPs for the DNS servers at a place I worked at in the 1990s. If you don’t end up remembering IPs at least for a while you aren’t really getting your hands dirty.

But yeah all those seem like good learning opportunities. If you don’t actually need email that much, running your own mail servers and DNS servers is also good, altho in the modern day some large providers will probably regard your outgoing mail as spam. (E.g. I can’t email my wife on ATT.net, and from time to time I have been blocked by gmail and office 365).
