Eclipse is fast, but it needs to be configured well and run on a decent system. I guess the same is true for VS. After all both wouldn't be so popular if they wouldn't scale.
Damn it! What a mess! This is some depressing press for the Ruby community.
Thank you for your excellent explanation. There's no way I can comprehend what you're going through, but I have the utmost respect for you. Carry on, you're a champ.
I don't know if it's only a western thing. I'm in Eastern Europe and we still consider this subject a taboo (at least in IT).

edit: To be more clear, you can talk about it with friends but not with your colleagues.
You really can't compare profit margins between a retailer and a software company. Amazon books the full price of the products it sells as revenue, but must pay most of that to its suppliers, whereas the marginal cost of most of Google's products is very near 0.
I view Amazon like I view Square - the value doesn't come just from the profit, but from their market dominance. Square is raising so much funding without reaching a break-even point because international dominance in finance is a highly lucrative position to be in. Likewise, Amazon is still making money - just not much compared to the amount of merchandise they sell. The value comes from the concept - Amazon is redoing supply chain, and with same-day deliveries coming to the USA soon, the value is in Amazon gaining marketshare such that they both increase sales and increase margins.
I can understand it's bad timing, but the reaction seems ad-hoc. AFAIK neither python eggs nor PHPs packagist repository sign their packages, so in theory they're open to the same attack vector [1]. Judging from the docs, composer doesn't even allow signed packages. A better reaction would have been to fix the process: Allow only signed gems or cache and audit the packages you install. You don't need to depend on rubygems.

[1] Even OS package repositories or mirrors were broken into. I faintly remember a break-in where debian(?) had to check all their mirrors.

It might be worth taking a quick glance at those articles again to make sure you're making a meaningful comparison.

The US poverty figures you quote are for an income of $23k/yr, or ~$11/hr. In that chart you quote for China, you notice that even the 71% mark only gets you up to $5/day (so $0.60/hr).
It does feel to me to be one of the cognitive routes into a depressive state. A cluster of problems can overwhelm thinking and mood to such a deep level that it descends beyond reasoning. It's "analysis paralysis" that has worked its way deep into less rational parts of the brain to become a standard mode. Once your brain loses its sense of agency it just kind of collapses in on itself, stewing in an abstract gloop of impossibilities.
Great talk about mental illness on TED http://www.ted.com/talks/ruby_wax_what_s_so_funny_about_ment...
I think we all agree that "non-ordinary" states of consciousness exist. Yay for agreeing.

I'm sure the book with the long title you linked to is a solid psychedelic reference and scientific companion, with a little adventure thrown in.

Castaneda was heavy on the adventure. "A Separate Reality" is hilarious and insightful. Stories can pass knowledge and Castaneda certainly supplied stories. The books are like psychedelic Mexican westerns, an average westerner protagonist on a quest to match the great Sorcerer's tripping skills and make new inorganic friends.

How could you possibly cast a dark shadow over that synopsis? :-)

That some became disciples of the books is no surprise, but Castaneda's words did the heavy lifting.

Romanticizing the word 'Ayahuasca' is annoying. It's just a name for an organic substance. The "mother" thing is SYMBOLIC guys - symbolism was HUGE way back in native times. Symbols and static icons also act as a safety net for the chaotic nature of our own minds under the influence, and the right symbols can turn a bad trip good.

The key here very much being "under the influence". That's chemical influence, on your very sensitive brain, which has a natural chemical balance that you are disrupting. No wonder dream states emerge while you're awake.

Seriously.. it's completely the wrong track to mix belief in intelligent other-worldly ghosts that say hi during your trip, and rigorous scientific psychedelics.

I would like to visit Brazil one day, I'll never say never. Does the Ayahuasca jungle-cafe serve peyote?
Having experienced a couple major depressive episodes, I have no desire to ever go back, and I've built myself a sort of mental fortress to hopefully withstand whatever shocks I'll experience as I keep on living. I'm fortunate in that in both of my cases, I was able to emerge and put the depression behind me. I can't imagine chronically feeling the way I did.

Imagine being so emotionally hurt that it feels like physical pain, long after you were able to mentally process what initially upset you. Like a pain so chronic and awful that you're willing to do just about anything to make it stop. Imagine how frustrating it is to want to be over something and to think you are mentally past it, but the emotional side of your brain (i.e. most of it) just won't budge. And then on top of it, you feel guilty for being such a drag on people around you. And you also feel paranoid that even when you're not dumping on them, you're alienating them in some way. So you mostly just suffer in silence. It's terribly debilitating.

A friend of mine who undoubtedly would be reading HN today if he were still around evidently felt this way pretty much his entire life. I don't think I would have been able to take it either.

Figure 10 days PTO and holidays, 40 $/h * 40 h/wk * 50 wk/yr = 80 K$/yr. You made the same amount. OK, maybe you work more than 40 hours a week, but if you're salaried you don't account for that anyway.
Quite the contrary. If an engineer asks for considerably less than they're worth, that goes into the "may be out of touch with his profession" column.

With the exception of starters and a few semi-autistic outliers, engineers that have no idea what they're worth generally aren't the best of engineers. Not asking for it however is a different matter.
Sure the margins are lower in online retail, but even then Amazon is performing abysmally, and the trend in almost all their numbers is downwards. The only reason they are still around in the first place, is sheer size. Smaller retailers would never survive on the profit margins Amazon is producing.

The thing that sticks out most from their earnings release is that the trend is clearly downward. The profit margins and net cash flow are sinking, while operating costs, number of employees, etc are rising. Added to that, their market cap/stock valuation is truly insane, which IMO is a ticking time bomb.

What this all means is that Amazon is going to get in a shitload of trouble somewhere down the road. Remember that they only made about $5 billion in profit over their complete lifetime, of which only about $1.5 billion is left after deducting losses, so in terms of cash Amazon is more or less on life support of their investors. All it takes is some relatively minor event (more focused competition, lower consumer spending, some kind of bad media attention) and their stock will tank, and the whole constellation could go down like a house of cards.

No matter how much you like Amazon and its services, it's hardly an example of a solid business if you ask me.

Au contraire, if it is related to Scientology, give it a very wide berth.
it's what I've told others too, it's like living behind a filter, and every thought and every idea is focused on the negative and false. and the thing is, that I've had it for so long, a decade maybe? probably was there before I even recognized what it was.

but for me it comes and goes, and when it comes I've learned to see the filter, it's just harder to remember what things look like in reality.

but I'm doing well, I dont have it quite as bad as some, and it goes away and I've learned to cope and figure out and get past it, but...

it's never going to stop coming back, and I also know it brings back a kind of brightness and sharpness when it leaves, something I actually do enjoy. I'm sometimes dysfunctional because of it, but mostly... I'm just me, I do alright and I'd rather not change me just yet, so for now I'll deal with it, because it helps me help others.

Farewell to Regular Web Development Approaches
We need more compassion in general - not just for the outlier cases - but society in general can be a pretty mean entity.

I've been thinking lately how sad it is that so many of the younger hackers in my local scene (metalab.at) are not as familiar with John Lennons' World Peace movement as they should be. That light was snuffed out, but John (and Yoko, and many, many others) were really trying hard to get a world peace movement established, that would bring more love to the world.

If you turn on the TV today, you don't see much love. Most "comedies" are little more than 30-minutes-ridicule+laughtrack. In fact, remove the laugh-track from most TV shows and you have a banal hate festival.

I think depression being treated poorly, in general, by society is symptomatic of a larger maladay - which is that we humans simply don't trust our neighbors. We don't communicate freely and honestly with each other. You can't smile at a stranger in Vienna, for instance, just for the sake of the happiness - there always has to be the inference of an alternative, sinister, motive. Why is that?

Its because, fundamentally our cultural veigns - the mass communications networks of PR, Advertising, News, TV - don't profit from happiness and good times. They profit from the "black blood cell" of intrigue, controversy, synthesis/anti-synthesis. All we really see on TV is conflict this and that, and if there is some sort of consolation, its usually couched as "irony" or some such emotion.

But what of true Peace, where people are getting along great? There is a lot of that in the world, and it goes under-reported, and just not noticed by the majority. Its possible that depression is a social disease, and is contagious.

But, so is happiness.

We need more overt acknolwedgement of the good times, too, in my opinion - the truly good times, real progress. The aversion of the average citizen towards sharing good news and good times needs to be overcome.

We miss you, John Lennon.
How far into the future? They've been saying that for 17 years.
I do agree with all of your advice, but there is something more to this.

If it was a simple package intercept alone, there would be no way for them to link the suspect to SR, let alone link him to a certain SR profile, let alone getting access to private information on that profile (his transaction history, which I assume was given as evidence of the 11 alleged importations).

Either he gave up that information somehow (as the TOR browser doesn't save credentials), used a username he is "known" to use on the clearnet, or the more nefarious possibility:

It could be likely that Aussie feds set up a fake NL vendor account in order to set up a "deal" with that target. This would give them his real name and address (thus linking him to the SR profile) and ultimately establish PC for the raid. By sending him small amounts to establish trust (giving the feds evidence of the 11 "importations") they probably got him with a much larger importation charge then he otherwise would have gotten.
I'd like to see external citations for the list of claimed achievements on that second page.

Everything old is new again. I remember considering using Sybase IQ Multiplex (columnar engine) back in 2000 in my startup. Just like "nosql" was all the rage a few years ago, bringing memory of the Pick databases of yore.
A lot of uniformed people in this thread. You can't generalise as much as you all do.

You have to understand that people experience life in very different ways. I have experienced depression [0] but I can't speak for anybody else other than to say I know it's hard and keep on.

The real problem with depression is that everybody wants to wash their hands of it. "There are doctors that we can pass these sick people to. The system will sort everything out. That guy's a real downer, I hope he get's help... from somebody else..." I understand that it can be a mood-ruiner and people feel ashamed of it even by association but where is the strength in ignoring things? Compassion would truly be helpful and if you can give it, give it.

Go for CBT and you'll find it largely amounts to filling out forms on your mental state with tickboxes that don't really apply to you, while somebody tries to find out ways that your thinking is twisted. But you can be rational, successful, positive and still feel awful. Do you want to medicate the hell out of the high-functioning, positive guy that wants to change the world [1]? The term 'chemical imbalance' sometimes gets thrown around, and honestly it's probably wrong but there is a truth to it -- often the people that say they have a chemical imbalance are thinking quite rationally but facing terrible emotions that they know they shouldn't have to (from trauma, or an unhealthy subconscious.)

edit; If you're going to downvote me it would be nice if you would mention why. Do you actually have experience of any of this? I'm trying to give my honest experience on this, and I'm trying to point out that a guy like Aaron Swartz doesn't really fit the neat definitions required by most treatments; and that compassion beyond telling others to 'go to a doctor' is worthwhile.
I would think they took into account cleaning (multiple times per day), maintenance, vandalism and loss of seating to come up with that number.

Especially the latter, since this isn't the first time they've done something insane for a few extra seats.

Putting the air intakes at the bottom of new trains (instead of on top as was the original manufacturers design) comes to mind, which lead to dozens of trains becoming unusable and needing weeks of repairs after a bit of snowfall...
None of these are scapped i suppose. It's all user submitted stuff
I am said to suffer depression myself, which BTW I would deny as I would say its "realism", but I really have an issue with it being described as an "illness".

It seems to be that this definition is more about giving depression PR parity with actual illnesses, rather than a correct label. Its like the public will accept an "illness" as real, but a psychological issues as not real. There for making the public see depression as "illness" helps get support. See what I mean?

From what I can make out, depression is a state of mind. Its a psychological thing. Ie, its a sort of loop people get themselves in to. That, to me, is not an illness. Not more so than arrogance, confidence or anger. Its an emotion. Is love an illness too? I realise that can be debated, but I don't think its helpful to redefine things for PR reasons. To me that cheapens it.

I'm not saying depression is there for less valid, clearly its as debilitating as what I would think of as real "illness", if not more so, but I do roll my eyes and switch off every time I hear the word "illness" appropriated for things that aren't really "illnesses". As I say, the lack of the word illness doesn't, to me, make it less serious. To me, using that word is not necessary, it just blurs the lines and can put people off caring. It make it sound exaggerated or a bit "me too".

Should add that I do understand that there are different types of depression. Perhaps using the single word depression to cover all cases is more the problem that the word "illness".

I'm by no means unsympathetic, I know how it can effect people. I've seen the results of suicide. Hell, my mum's other half had to cut the bloke down while the wife screamed in the street. But I worry that re-defining things puts the general population off.

No idea if these definitions are different each side of the Atlantic. Heh, no idea if its just me who thinks this either!!!

It is built in in stable (at least it seems to be in the stable version in the Arch repos), you just have to enable it in about:config. If I remember correctly 'browser.preferences.inContent' has to be set to true and 'pdfjs.disabled' has to be set to false.

- What most devs want is to be in a quiet place to be in the zone.

Instead of coding till 3am and already be exhausted because of the day you had to make, get up at 5 and code directly out of the bed.

Get your shit done before others get to work.
Then there is no reason to stay up late any more, and you can go to sleep around 10pm. The alarm clock will not be a pain any more.

I am still in transition but find this awesome.
Sorry no offense, but you don't get depression. There are people who may have a "positive outlook" on life, appear to be happy go lucky and one fine day not be able to get out of bed due a to crippling overwhelming feeling of despair. This is not just an "extension of being sad.". You can't just shake a person who is depressed or throw a bunch of balloons or bring a bunch of relatives around this person and make them feel happy. Sometimes, a person who is depressed can't even explain why they are being depressed. Sadness doesn't work like that.

Hello,

we're planning to launch our app at the end of February. It's a mobile social network targeted to a specific niche. It's already in our plans to turn it into a marketplace as well, so users can buy and sell within the app.

Does it make sense in your opinion to first release the social part to build the community and then release all the marketplace function? Or it would be better to hold on till the marketplace is developed and then release the full app?

My idea is to release the social part and via press release, website and video teaser warn that there will be a marketplace soon.

Best,
Filippo

Sorry my english might not be perfect!
Hm, do you mean something like this (but without the header and footer)?

> I am said to suffer depression myself, which BTW I would deny as I would say its "realism", but I really have an issue with it being described as an "illness".

There's a difference between being cynical, and being depressed. Clinical depression crosses through to the other side, where everything seems unreasonably bad.
It's not a taboo thing. In my contracts I've had always clause that all the information are confidential, including salary amount. And I can be sued by company if I break the agreement.
Again, all you've done is repeat the same explanation for the Great Firewall and censorship of news as soon as it starts to appear to be capable of "fomenting dissent". It's worth noting that many in China do not share your view, and we have the weibo messages to prove it. While there is certainly a good bit of animosity aimed at the US (both well-sourced and born of invented stories), it's ridiculous to claim that even a large portion of the populace believes that they need to be protected from revolution brought about by american psyops in the news.

Assuming that of them certainly sells the people of China short, not to mention the complete lack of agency you seem to believe the people that actually live in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, etc had in deciding to revolt in the first place. It's not clear what your personal belief is here (you're only reporting on the "context", after all), but you've repeated the libya arms thing enough that I'll assuage your fears: look back through history. Nation building by rebel proxy does not work as intended. You only have to look at your so called new "US-controlled democracies" to dispel any idea of US control.

Meanwhile, the new york times reported on corruption in those around Wen Jiabao, and the Chinese government hacked into their systems apparently so they could find out who provided information to the reporters and how they got the information that they did. It's a silly strawman to suppose that "without this context Americans just don't understand why the Chinese military would get involved on a negative story about a leader." No, it's extremely clear, and I think few here were very surprised.

This is wrong, wrong, wrong. Sometimes people get down or get "the blues" but this is something very much different from major clinical depression. Depression has many aspects but one of the most important is a chemical imbalance in the brain. It's not just a feeling or an emotion, it's a fundamental change to the way your brain works. And episodes of major depression can last for years, even decades.
Read the top comment that started this whole conversation. It's foundational to the whole thread. There is no thread without that claim.
