no, your career path can be public unless you're James Bourne.

And, we build our ego around our salary and bonuses. Exposing those numbers is quite embarrassing. And, knowing my salary is none of your business. You can tell me yours, I'd retweet it.
As part of self observation I noticed that depression starts with negative thinking. The thought can be qualified as "negative" or "positive" by the physical bodily sensation it produces. Negative thought essentially produces self-inflicted pain within the body. Consistent negative thinking produces more inner pain and at more intense levels.
This inner pain in turns fuels negative thoughts pattern that continues to inflict more "emotional" pain.
Then it becomes vicious cycle of "beating yourself up".

At deeply depressed stages thought control no longer works and any attempts to "think yourself" out of depression are becoming futile. At these stages depression is fueled by constant intense physical/emotional pain that is constantly present seemingly without any thinking processed.
The more intense the pain - the more unbearable it is - and this drives person to suicide as the last resort to stop suffering.

The actual solution in this case it to guide person to look at the pain directly instead of escaping, avoiding or suppressing it with painkillers. Painkillers may be necessary to maintain sanity though through the practice.
This is ancient practice talked about by pretty much every spiritual teacher - yet widely ignored.
When you feel depressed - locate exact area of painful physical sensations within the body and start observing it.
Watch your sensations, watch your feelings, watch them exactly where they are. Do not try to change them, do not try to kill them, just observe them. At the same time breathe and follow your breathing as well.
Conscious breathing slows down incessant thinking. Direct observation of painful emotions will start dissolving them.

This is very efficient practice that I personally benefited from during very intense emotional downturns and depressive states.

I think it's a little sad that the most "modern" IE Microsoft can put out is still like 2 years behind Chrome in HTML5 features. Chrome 10 had more HTML5 features 2 years ago than IE10 has today, and the Blackberry 10 browser is actually even more ahead, and that's from a company that doesn't usually make browsers:

I know the above comment sounds extremist, but bear in mind that its truth value has nothing to do with that. I mean for instance, the only reason "2 + 2 = 4, and anyone who believe otherwise lacks either a brain or some crucial information" does not sound extremist is because everyone actually agrees with it.

So. Who in her right mind would reject the three assumptions behind Cox's theorem, and for what reason? Assuming we don't reject those axioms, why should we not reject Frequentism at once?

Western Governor's University is completely online and fully accredited. It is also not for profit, quasi-public, and offers flat rate tuition that runs less than $6000 a year for undergraduate degrees. While their College of Information Technology doesn't offer degrees in computer science:

http://www.wgu.edu/online_it_degrees/bachelor_degree_program...

they don't prohibit students from reading Knuth while chasing a degree they offer.

I was wrangled onto the science track from an early age, and chemistry is one among the five majors I declared prior to landing in a philosophy department. I too hated labs but found the ideas fascinating. Of my close friends who graduated with undergraduate science degrees, one is a professor, another is in IT (he got out of asbestos abatement) and the third (the one with a chemistry phd) left the food industry seven years ago to be a stay at home dad.

The real nexus between chemistry and computer science is math. And and a chemistry BS is going to give you a pretty damn good background there. A CS degree? Well mainly that will give you an excuse, or permission, to learn about computers. Know that you can give yourself that permission. Also recognize that you may be at a point in life where you need it to come externally.
IE6? Man... It's 2013.
Your codebase must be very simple, because you can pinpoint the problem to a single file. Imagine you have something as complex as the kernel, a non-trivial breakage, that you can not reproduce but somebody else can, somebody who has no clue about the files where the problem could possibly be. Or some user reports that kernel X works but X+3 doesn't, and there are thousands of commits in between. Good luck pointing to a single file. Those are the situations that git bisect was made for.
Only IE would need something like this and, after the free trial, you have to pay, too.

Funny. For me, I get depressed and turned off when I see too much peace, happiness, and love crap in media. Maybe it's because I'm part of the generation who's grown skeptical of everything in media, but I definitely prefer the darker, sarcastic side of content. A John Lennon style love/peace-fest sounds like an absolute nightmare to me. No thanks.

not all cases of depression can be attributed to unbalanced brain chemistry. sometimes the chemistry is ok, it's just your life is fucked. in this case depression is a normal reaction.

PTSD is also a normal reaction (to extreme circumstances) but it's maladaptive.

Still, I disagree with you that actual depression is a "normal reaction". Sadness and anger are normal emotions that normal people feel. Depression is something else.

People tend to conflated depressed mood, which is transient intense sadness, with the disease of depression, which is something else-- much longer lasting and more devastating.

So...where's the examples. If the OP works with a lot of non-commercial entities, how does a data API trump the client just being able to create posts and static pages?

Most humanitarian groups want an easy to use CMS with some features, like donation modules, added in. Is the OP building out the content editors too? How is that not a CMS?

I've yet to work with a humanitarian group for which Wordpress was not more than they could handle on their own. When something breaks in their new-wave architecture, how day is it for them to fix on their own?

Edit: I realize the OP is talking about web apps, not just websites...WP is likely not a great option then. But that's why I'm asking for some examples of what they've done and why it justifies a "farewell" to old web dev

Becoming an ISP is pretty trivial, even in a regulatory nightmare place like NY. What is impossible is stringing your fiber on the utility rights of way.

In most places in the US the telephone poles and utility conduits are generally owned by the telephone or electric company. You need to lease pole space from them, and those leases aren't cheap. There have been several municipal WiFi initiatives that got alot of press, but later died because they couldn't afford to rent the pole access.

In higher-density areas, there are alternatives. For example, in Albany, NY a small telco provider worked with the city to provide municipal wifi and public safety networking using traffic lights, city buildings, and streetlights (which are owned by the city). The problem with that model is that you get good coverage in central business districts and avenues, but nothing on residential blocks.

You have duopolies because the Bell System was the one and only phone company, and the Feds have basically allowed SBC/AT&T and Verizon to bring that back. Phone companies didn't "get" IP networks in the 90's and early 2000's, and decided to just milk the aging out POTS network as long as possible and ask for government handouts later. Cable companies evolved differently from community co-ops (Ars Technica has a few good stories about this) and tend to operate in a model where they get a franchise agreement that gives them a monopoly in a city or town. So now you have highly regulated, dumb telcos and lesser regulated cable companies who negotiate sweetheart deals with dumb municipal governments.
I've yet to see a more egregious and brazen example of a politician refusing to answer a question than Jeremy Paxman's 1997 Newsnight interview with Michael Howard. [1]

"You know, people often ask me how to compare our new models to some of the products that people are already using. They ask me what we've learned from them, as you did. That's great."

"And yes we did learn from them. Not so much about manufacturing, or how to make portable, powerful device that is the hub of your day. We have been doing this for as long as we've been a company, that's in our DNA."

"BUT, what I think we've learned from those other products is the importance of getting things right for the entire user experience, not just the core four or five things you do the most. We've always had the very best messaging platform. We've always had the best security for business. We've always had the best devices for texting and emailing."

"Now we are committed to that excellence in being the device that browses the web. That manages your digital wallet. That helps you navigate from where you were to where you want to be."

"We've learned a lot from the way those other companies do a great job on things that our customers used to tell us were not critical. The bar has been raised, and we think we are still the very best device for messaging plus we are now leapfrogging them to be the best in all the things people are doing with their devices, not just the core things they do the most."
I never thought much about the effect of permanent loss on Bitcoin. Unlike cash, encrypted wallets and the block chain make theft harder than just destruction of the money.

A virus which deletes wallets instead of trying to exfiltrate BTC seems much easier to implement and would be pretty devastating for the currency.
What do you mean? The post is showing a session using the evolve extension (extension available from an external repo).

The extension is experimental, and I'm not sure how many guarantees are given wrt stability (probably best effort).

Now the extension is in the process of getting moved into core (where the behaviour, protocol, file formats will be frozen).
I agree that depression is an illness. I also agree that we need more sympathy and help for those who suffer it, and there needs to be less stigma surrounding it.

Having said that, we should not forget the victim's loved ones left behind, after his/her suicide to grieve and bury the victim. These people are victims too. Sometimes other lives are destroyed by an act of suicide. A young wife left to raise the kids alone. A mother forced to bury an only child; perhaps committed to a life of depression herself.

For the record, I have had my own battles with depression. I have had days I was unable to get out of bed. I have also had suicidal thoughts. But the thought of the pain I would inflict on my family, particularly my mom, would never allow me to truly consider it an option. I don't pretend to have felt the pain that would drive one to suicide, because there are degrees and experiences differ. But it helps to know where I'm coming from.

I think there needs to be more of a stigma surrounding suicide and more awareness for the pain of those that are left to grieve. If you're considering ending it all, please try to get help, and please think of the pain you will be inflicting on those you leave behind.

We've considered this before, and the performance gains do not appear worthwhile (we've run much more extensive tests than you have on top websites to evaluate potential gains), it has extra complexity, it is more of a Hampering Eyeballs approach rather than a Happy Eyeballs approach, it has potential web compat issues (many sites will not expect you to connect to the IPs other than the first), etc etc.
AIUI, basically it means that whilst a program written in, say, python, can itself by copyrightable; the python language itself can't be. This means you, or anyone else, can implement your own python interpreter without any fear of being accused of copyright infringment.
For anyone who doesn't realise: That's part of the same case. National courts refer questions about interpretations of EU directives to the CJEU. They give guidance on interpretation, but don't rule on the specifics of the case. So after they do that the case goes back back to the national court for judgment on the actual case, which is what's just happened.
You sound like you are doing a great job man, as someone who has lived through depression, I'd like to say that I'm proud of you.

The Dutch law applies to any company doing business in the Netherlands. So it applies to Facebook and Google as well as local Dutch sites, because they have offices here and accept money from Dutch users/advertisers.

It's almost just like in the real world...

I'd say 'because the market still has confidence in Amazon', which is reflected by their market cap. While market cap has no relation whatsoever to the profitability of a company, it does allow Amazon to keep investing in expanding into all the directions they are expanding in. At current valuations, they only have to add ~5M shares (on a current total of ~450M outstanding) to raise around ~$1B. This is not a free ride though, they _will_ have to be able to jack up their profits somewhere in the future, otherwise the stock will sink and they will have a hard time to keep up their strategy of expansion.

I'm quite surprised they have been able to keep up this game for so long myself, but it's not totally crazy. Online shopping is has been growing like crazy for since Amazon started, the market today is probably at least a 100 times larger than ~10 years ago. Some day though, growth will start to level off, and looking at Amazon's earnings releases over the last 2 years or so, it seems like we're almost there. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens to Amazon when they cannot keep growing any bigger.
See, I think it's odd that some people seem to think stocks should go up on good news and down on bad news, regardless of whether people expected the news.
From the language you quoted above it sounds to my un-trained ear like he's comparing a programming language to a natural language.

I wonder how many of our problems are due to deciding to call them "programming languages" rather than something like "programming notation" instead? There seems to be a conceptual problem, especially among people who don't program, as to just what a programming language actually is.

Disclosure: I have worked in Kindle, so I have insight into what's happening.

Think about Amazon's original market: books. In this case, it makes almost no sense to have a eurozone market.

1. Most countries speak different languages

2. The laws around selling books are CRAZY in Europe. Each country has different laws about how books are priced. FR and DE are fixed price (everyone sells the book for the same price), IT I think is Reseller (normal model, publishers sell to Amazon, Amazon sells to consumer), and UK is Commissionaire (Tax included Agent model, Amazon gets commission for selling books to consumers, but publisher sets price) and Reseller.

3. Each country has different publishers for the marketplace, with different requirements in terms of metadata etc.

"Breaking every single encryption algorithm"

Hardly.

For a start one-time pad (say using XOR) is a perfectly valid encryption algorithm (and its actually used in the wild) and won't be affected a iota by P = NP. Same for Carter-Wegman.

Then:

"If P=NP, you could still have a cipher that decrypts in linear time with the key and n^1000 time without the key. So it's breakable in polynomial time, yet cryptographically secure."

Taken from Schneier:

I don't disagree with the fact that it would be a major discovery but I very much dispute your overgeneralization about the implication regarding cryptography : )

Except the time to first user activity is delayed. Speed is an important criteria to responsiveness.

The architecture problems can be solved without pushing it all to the client. It's a standard service-oriented architecture. Where the processing happens is mostly irrelevant.
