>The most mentally healthy respondents are those who did not get a phone until their late teens.

The first graph also shows that the oldest people score the best on their mental health test in general.

---

They note that their Mental Health Quotient figure has been decreasing over the years.

They also note that in the age range of 18-24 the earlier that the people were given a smartphone the worse the MHQ figure is. But did they control for age here?

Because 18-24 is a 7 year duration. Their first graph shows that in a 7 year timeframe their MHQ graph drops 25%. We could be seeing an effect that the older part of the range got their smartphones at a later age (because it's new technology) and the correlated MHQ drop by year creates the drop off by age of first smartphone.

Was this accounted for because I couldn't find it on a quick read.

---

You might also be measuring the effect of better mental health awareness. Ie kids who got smartphones earlier might be more aware of mental health issues and are more likely to notice and bring it up.
The biggest misunderstanding I see in these types of discussions is that there is a lossless conversion between binary floating point representation and decimal representation.

Very few values have exact decimal and binary floating point representations.
I downloaded ZED for a quick play-around, but was quite shocked to find out that editing and saving a file runs an auto-formatter on it _by default_...

Whoever thought that was a great idea obviously has never worked with version control, with other people on a project? Sorry, but this is such an obviously wrong default setting, I'm surprised nobody pointed this out before?

Cool project.

That said, I never send the same resume to everyone. I tailor a resume for each job I apply to. This doesn't mean leaving off positions or lying. It does mean taking the work done in a position and giving it a slant toward the target job.

For example, let's say I created a web app that shows a sales dashboard, with stats visualization, from raw daily sales data.

Job 1 (applying for Front-End) - Created monthly sales dashboard web site using React, MaterialUI, SASS, Node, Riak, and D3. Dashboard provided grid-based summary over individual weeks, months, and years. It also provided configurable line graphs and pie charts for various sales metrics. Data pre-processing done with Sci-Kit. Later added sales prediction using Machine Learning.

Job 2 (applying for Data Analysis) - Analyzed raw daily sales data to determine data cleansing needed, and created tool pipeline using Python NumPy, SciKit, and scikit-learn. Integrated pipeline into Riak data source ingest, and then built sales dashboard web site to visualize the data. Provided ML model for sales prediction built with scikit-learn, with XX parameters. Model achieved YY accuracy with only a ZZ mean error.

Same work in both, but I highlight the tasks most relevant to the target job.

Other thoughts are that Latex is a good way to get a well laid out PDF resume (PDF is not the web, you should have two versions of your resume), and I agree with other commenters - the final product needs more polish if it was actually going to be used to produce a resume to send in (I think it's fine as a proof of concept though).
OMg really hope you got 10x jobs that workflow.
What’s your theory?
You might get more than you bargained for on that topic.

Kernighan and Plaugher had written "Software Tools" in RATFOR. Then they wrote "Software Tools in Pascal". And then, in direct response to the experience of writing that, Kernighan wrote a paper titled "Why Pascal Is Not My Favorite Programming Language". (Because writing in Pascal should have been way easier than writing in RATFOR, and it wasn't, and Kernighan gave some thought to why it wasn't.)

It's still an interesting read. You can find it online, for example at https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~evans/cs655/readings/bwk-on-pas...

Note well: This refers to the original standard version of the language. Extensions like Turbo Pascal fixed many of the problems. (Except that, as he said, there was no portability between the extensions. Even that kind of was fixed by Turbo Pascal becoming the "standard" extensions.)

Some companies have discovered happy customers keep paying. They still want your money, and are not your friend - but they will keep you happy so you get paying.

However a lot of companies have discovered keeping customers happy is hard/expensive and so they instead look for ways to trick you into paying more now knowing that either way you won't be back once/if you figure out they don't care to keep you.
.wang it’s last name
The obvious solution though is to fix the product/service so people don't have to talk to customer support (pit of success, yada yada). This is an iterative process and requires people who form a cross-functional team willing to speak up. I don't see how it is possible in an assembly line kind of environment but for small teams, I am sure it is doable?
This is a shallow dismissal. The idea is that the AI has a chance of helping you and that is valuable during a period where you can't get access to a human and otherwise would have no chance of getting help.
That is what everyone dances around in these discussions. It doesn't matter if it is a good second factor because it is an excellent user tracking identifier and that is what they were really after. Twitter and facebook both lied about only using these numbers for security and then almost immediately put them to use for advertising purposes. We only know about it because they were big enough to sue, I'm sure every crappy site that gets the number sells it. As a bonus, it also allows them to dump a lot of the infrastructure and support problems onto some one other than themselves.

The biggest problem with SMS-2FA in my opinion is a lot of places are setup so it isn't even a second factor. I can often reset my password just through email so it just seems like throwing a threadbare blanket marked security over the top of a user tracking scam.

We're actually not going to be doing that for much longer. Lots of users kept querying how it was installed, where, how to remove it, etc.

The response of "it depends, we probably used your system package manager" was not often well received. Users who know how to use their package manager tended to just do that anyway, and not use the script.
Not JUST correlated with poverty, but likely to a large degree, I agree. Ideally, kids would get a maximum amount of quality time with their parents or siblings instead of being parented by the internet. Wealthier parents parents, I suppose, would be more likely to have the free time (or that of paid help), emotional availability, educated tendancy to read and develop and understand of the importance and structure of shared time, healthy established family norms, and genes. There's a lot going against poor families, and it's not getting easier.
I've found Amazon's customer support bot excellent for teeing up a chat with an actual human support agent. It collects all the context up front so the actual chat is about the substance of the issue. Still need a human for taking follow up actions in most cases though (ie. processing a refund, contacting the seller on your behalf, etc)
I went at night and there was no line, so I saw a general doctor immediately. I've gone in the past and had to wait hours for less critical issues. I was shipped to a larger hospital with a cardiac unit. I was seen for catheter placement the following day.

You seem to be trying to generalise the behaviour of people with "mental health issues" which is rather broad with different outcomes among different individuals. It is almost like a polite way of putting people in the crazy bucket.

Sure, but that's not really the topic, and without discussing the exact details we wouldn't be able to evaluate how easy it exactly is, because there's always things that could go wrong.
This particular article seems to advocate "adapt all the things!!!" using dependency injection to configure your adapters.

I'd not come across onion architecture before but I'm a big fan of hexagonal architecture. The essential difference is that onion architecture wants dependency injection, adapters and a pure core, where pure just means no dependencies of any kind. Hexagonal architecture has the concept of internal and external, and advocates treating everything that is not part of the application as a consumer. In hexagonal architecture, a database may be an internal implementation detail, or it may be something external things expect to use and have a defined schema, etc. In the first case, it doesn't need special abstraction, in the second, it needs to be treated as something to adapt to. Onion architecture would say that it is a dependency and should be externalized from the start.

Interesting how both sibling comments (by sofixa and twic) complain about opposite things: that Elizabeth is not a metro service (i.e. it's fast) and the other that it's not fast, it stops at all stations (i.e. it's a metro).

It's interesting because both are true: outside of central london is a metro service, in central london is a fast service. The parent op explains it pretty well in the last paragraph:

> running a fast long distance service, a metro service and then back to fast long distance.
Probably my "favorite" out direct mail advertising these are home warranty companies. We bought our home and immediately after, started getting letters about home warranties. They take all the info from public record but they always do something to make it look like it's a bill from the government or some other "official" source. Some of my favorites:

- "FINAL NOTICE" printed on the letter (spoiler alert it's not the final notice)

- Use that paper that you have to rip on either side to open.

- Print the name of your mortgage company and other information to make it seem that they have info on you (all public record). Occasionally they will also print a "case number" which I assume is just some random numbers and letters.

I think the first one I got gave me a spook until I looked at the bottom and saw in 5pt print "we are not affiliated with any mortgage company or government agency, we are a home warranty service bla bla bla". Since then it's honestly kind of humorous to get one and see what tricks they tried to pull.
I don’t have any particular point to this post, just tossing out that resveratrol itself seems to be an antagonist of AhR, as it seems to compete with and block agonists.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1155/2019/5847040

Also of note for those curious since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, Dioxins are potent agonists of AhR.

My own interest in AhR is that it seems to play a role in metabolism. Lower levels of exposure to AhR activators seems to kick off a complicated series of effects that seem to ultimately lower metabolism, potentially being a factor in obesity. Higher levels of exposure to dioxins however results in wasting. AhR is poster child for hideously complicated biochemical relationships, so do be careful of simple summaries of exposure/response relationships.

I would be cautious of AhR agonists though, I recall coming across a number of potential negative associations in regards to cardiovascular health.
I won't even agree to 6 months no payments or interest when buying things - sure it is 6 months I don't have to pay and I can invest the money to make interest. However they are looking for ways to make me forget to pay after 6 months.
The chatbot that is used in the OPs conversation likely just does keyword matching and responding with hardcoded messages. It's not even an LLM.

You can't really get much further with this type of thing. LLM can potentially get you further.
Well said, and I mostly agree. The only counterpoint I can think of is that there is also a lot of complexity which comes with cross platform development (especially true if you add mobile to the mix). If you have a specific desktop platform in mind, it can be advantageous to learn a native solution. The key is to just pick something and go with it.
I agree.

If you are selling ANY product, customer experience is part of what you are selling. Apple gets this better than practically anyone else.

BUT, as a small business owner you are forced to make decisions about where to allocate your limited resources. In your case (and in mine) customer service likely created word of mouth referrals, retained customers, and future expansion opportunities.

I guarantee you that there are many businesses where folks somehow think customer service is merely a cost center to be eliminated. For the folks who are already in that boat, AI arguably will likely be better than their outsourced callcenters.

When will they swing back to seeing the bigger picture, and realize their business is only as valuable as the customer relationships they build?

Banks routinely handle identification via phone to access your account and transact.
>> Subscriptions should be able to be paid by invoices - you receive an invoice before next billing period and if you don't pay, account is locked,

>Why should the service provider hope for your compliance to pay for an already rendered service?

1. No one implied that they have to provide you a service first before you pay. OP said "invoice before next billing period". I.e. if you don't pay before the next period starts, you don't get access to the service. I don't see why this is that hard. This purely serves the provider offering the service which somehow wants to put you in some sort of contractual month to month contract as opposed to "pay before you get access" model.

2. You could turn it around: "Why should the payer hope for the service that's already been paid for?" There are contracts and norms for starters. The "subscription arrangement" makes it entirely the payer's problem to cancel the service, or to keep track of it's lack of usage (the Gym membership model). One can definitely argue that it's predatory, and certainly so if it's combined with how difficult it sometimes is to cancel subscriptions.

>"What do you mean by "basically"? You write a mail."

This is never that simple, your hypothetical "they're reasonable and respond to reasonable email requests" is not how it works in practice. Past a certain growth size of the provider, there isn't even an email address you can email that's actively monitored and actioned.
Masterclass now has an AI "teaching assistant" and its the worse chatbot I've seen, because it doesn't have any knowledge of the class. I assume its just GPT4 with some custom prompt. What would be useful is if its had the transcript of the course on hand, and could summarize, or answer questions about what that term was used in the last lecture and did Steve Martin mention it connected to this or something.

But instead it was no knowledge of the course besides its description and can offer general information that may in fact be in opposition to the things covered in the lesson.

There would actually be a way to make this useful. Especially if the course were meatier then most masterclasses are. Just summaries and term definitions and such can sometimes be very useful. But no, it's just generic chat interface that has a course description.
Some interesting quotes around there:

> The following alignment situations can cause LCP stalls to trigger twice:

> · An instruction is encoded with a MODR/M and SIB byte, and the fetch line boundary crossing is between the MODR/M and the SIB bytes.

> · An instruction starts at offset 13 of a fetch line references a memory location using register and immediate byte offset addressing mode.

So that's the order of funkiness to be expected, fun.

> False LCP stalls occur when (a) instructions with LCP that are encoded using the F7 opcodes, and (b) are located at offset 14 of a fetch line. These instructions are: not, neg, div, idiv, mul, and imul. False LCP experiences delay because the instruction length decoder can not determine the length of the instruction before the next fetch line, which holds the exact opcode of the instruction in its MODR/M byte.

The "true" LCP stall for the F7 opcodes would be "test r16,imm16", but due to the split opcode info across the initial byte & ModR/M, the other F7's suffer too.
SQLite has its own decisions, to keep itself embeddable and low-footprint. There are many choices on the server but little on embedded devices like mobile phones. I have faced many problems that arise when using SQLite in a cross-platform mobile app, such as corruption and deadlock. However, there are almost no proven alternatives to SQLite.
> […] an architectural style that screams "pax americana" and is really rooted in a culture of imperial grandeur.

It's amusing you mention America given that the author comes from Canada (and was born in the UK):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witold_Rybczynski

And the style that is picture at the top of the article is the Federal style in the US, but is a variant of Georgian, which is used—yes—in grand buildings like court houses, libraries, etc, but also for townhouses and row housing:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_architecture#Gallery

The article/architect mentions Kligerman and his creativity in blending traditional designs with the modern, and looking at his oeuvre it hardly looks "pax americana":

* https://kligermanad.com

> I want people to go back to beautiful medieval village architecture. That is much more organic and unpretentious than the "classical" stuff they're trying to shill here.

The author is arguing to going back to what works instead of trying to be completely original all the time:

> Ignoring the past often means ignoring the good ideas of one’s immediate predecessors. In the past, copying masters was a valuable part of architectural design—Andrea Palladio copied Bramante, Inigo Jones copied Palladio, Christopher Wren copied Jones. Now copying is taboo. For example, the work of early Scandinavian modernists such as Sigurd Lewerentz and Alvar Aalto, who humanized their stripped-down modern designs with interesting handcrafted details, was ignored by later generations. Similarly, when Louis Kahn produced the sublime skylit vaults of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, his ingenious solution was highly praised, but it was never repeated. As a result, instead of a considered evolution, modern architecture has been marked by a succession of fresh starts, some real and many false.

And more than that, it is to understand the why behind a building's design and construction and the underlying theory that was used, e.g., Golden ratio:

Even people who try build in a certain style mess things up because they don't understand the details that are necessary for things to work properly:

I feel like the author is perhaps making a valid criticism of Common Lisp that was only valid in ancient history. In the 1980s I felt like I was all alone sometimes developing on my Lisp Machine - I often would write utilities that I wished I didn’t have to write myself.

With the advent of Quicklisp, many repos on public services like GitHub, etc., it is now easy to find and use good libraries for Common Lisp.

Of course there is a network effect: a language like Python is much more popular so there are many more libraries available. That said Common Lisp, Racket, and other Lisps all have good ecosystems and are fun and productive to use.
