You can submit an editorial to any newspaper in the world anonymously, whether they choose to publish any of the material contained therein would be up to the newspaper and whether they though there was any validity (or more likely, public interest) in the editorial.
So what is it called if you have every single one of these symptoms, except actually being depressed? I find myself not caring at all about what others have to say, how they feel, etc. and you can imagine the hurdles that imposes on someone who has to make a legitimate-feeling human connection to sell a product. Social interactions are a game to me (that I've gotten quite good at) but none of it feels real.

I haven't felt that need to be dead as described, but definitely concluded that death would be neither good nor bad...and what's the point in waiting, right? Isn't it all the same?

And the "everything is hopeless bullshit" attitude i've had many times. I've just concluded that, perhaps...everything IS pointless. But we can enjoy it nonetheless. Enjoy the pointlessness, since it's all we CAN do.

Anyway, is there a name for this besides selfish asshole syndrome? Anyone else like this?

> I've always assumed that the violin and piano are favoured by tiger parents because they are high-status instruments.

Pretty much. There's a concertmaster, and the piano is situated prominently. Harps, cellos, and flutes are also preferred, but less favored.

I'm reasonably sure that my parents picked the piano because they had learned it themselves when young. (My mom still played a little; my dad had lost too much finger flexibility from sports.)
It really was only a matter of time before this came out.

Though by making it $300 they really restrict their clientele to companies or the government, both of whom would be able to cough up the money for investigations. This will almost definitely keep out the riff-raff trying to retrieve that dick-pic or nip-slip.
Show HN: A Yeoman generator for a front-end dev workflow
"While I am as impressed as anyone with 3-D printing technology and I believe it has amazing possibilities," said California state senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco/San Mateo), "we must ensure that it is not used for the wrong purpose with potentially deadly consequences. I plan to introduce legislation that will ensure public safety and stop the manufacturing of guns that are invisible to metal detectors and that can be easily made without a background check."

Wow, what a beautifully written and illustrated piece.

However, I gave up counting the number of times I read about life being "meaningless". The author is more likely suffering from an existential crisis than actually being clincially depressed. He/she is searching for meaning. To feel. Reading some mid 20th century French philosophy might help here.

Clinical depression? Boy, that's another ball game altogether. That type of shyte won't result in a beautifully animated and elegantly worded blog. :-/
Sorry if this sounds sticky, but since you have already done this, could you please share what you have? This sounds useful to me.

Many developers dont even port their console titles to the PC, or do so much later. Porting to Linux does not make any sense financially (yet), so its more or less good-will. You also need to have the resources to do it and many Devs are under heavy time pressure from publishers.

I don't have a 3D printer, and really, really don't care whether or not you can print a gun using one. But try to censor information about it, and I'll mirror it on my seedbox for as long as I can, just to piss you off.

They can't stop the signal.
After most people make their money, they tend to want to enjoy that money. It's very rare that you get a Warren Buffet who keeps focused on his business till his 80s, and it's the same thing in tech. In fact in tech the trend I see is for successful founders to get involved in investing in new companies rather than doing the deed. And mind you this isn't a bad thing either and has helped grow the industry.
I'm clinically depressed, and have been for pretty much all of my adult life. It's much stronger at some times than others. A recent "peak" is when I had a panic attack in downtown San Francisco at a concert last Friday night that lasted 2 hours or so and rendered me unable to function in a room full of people and loud noises. It was awful.

I've heard arguments similar to yours many times. I've tried mid-20th century French philosophy, and do appreciate it. But it doesn't help.

Depression manifests itself differently in different people. There isn't a "correct" form of depression. Telling people that "you're not depressed, you're X, do Y and all will be OK" doesn't help at all.

You probably mean well, but making those sort of comments do everything but what you think they do.
I believe I'm in a similar boat as you. I suspect the difference is of degree.

As for what to call it? I consider myself a fairly melancholy, introspective sort of person. That's what I call it.

Edit: a quick Google reveals "melancholy" is specifically tied to depression! Maybe I am depressed after all. But anyway, I usually use the word to mean the absence of vitality and vigor, rather than the presence of depression. Closer to "pensive" than "depressed".

If your goal is to stop the spread of the data, perhaps... but if you are caught with one of these guns now, you might also be prosecuted under arms control/export laws.
It can't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_format_string:

"In particular, the varargs mechanism allows functions to accept any number of arguments (e.g. printf) by "popping" as many arguments off the call stack as they wish, trusting the early arguments to indicate how many additional arguments are to be popped, and of what types."

NSLog is similar; it has to trust its first argument to be consistent with the number and types of arguments actually passed to it.

If you call NSLog(x), but do not have complete control over the value of x, you cannot guarantee that.
I never thought I could be depressed in any way, but I came to see that hole you were talking about a bit. I think the problem is that when being in depression, one is too much in your head and similar to startups if one can't bounce off their "ideas" from something, they ou commit "idea-incest" and they start getting weird thoughts that are detached to reality. You don't want that and I think as you said, it takes that certain corn to pull you out of that sticky pool of your entangled thoughts. :)

Off campus, 'bullying' is harassment and possibly assault. Or are those not actually crimes when the victim is a child?

Honestly that sounds like depression as well. I've definitely felt like that in the past but I don't have any answers about why or how to change it. Things do have a tendency to change though.

What's really funny is that 2d blueprints of the m16 and others exist and are readily accessible. Also, the army has published in the past various handbooks for insurrection. The "improvised munitions handbook" comes to mind.
JDK 8 implements lambda using features in JDK 7 like Invokedynamic. However, they could be implemented as syntactic sugar on top of anonymous inner classes — they just wouldn't be as efficient.
I cannot believe this even has to be said: I was blown away when I saw how many apps, good apps, like full blown honest-to-goodness-useful apps were being sold for pennies on the app store,

I couldn't believe that apple would short change it's developers that way and I couldn't believe that devs were playing along and willing to make nickels and dimes for applications that they'd spent real time on and if not for the artificial world of the AppStore would be charging way more!

And you thought that the MPAA tracking torrents was bad... now not only are you seeding potential copyright infringement (I don't know what the license actually is), but you might now also be circumventing arms control laws. That is a whole level of legal hurt that I'd rather avoid.

Sociopath?

> I find myself not caring at all about what others have to say, how they feel, etc. and you can imagine the hurdles that imposes on someone who has to make a legitimate-feeling human connection to sell a product. Social interactions are a game to me (that I've gotten quite good at) but none of it feels real.

I'm having a hard finding reputable medical information online, but my impression was that sociopathy fit your lack of caring, difficulty emulating social interactions and feelings, and treatment of such interactions as games with goals.
In the case of parenting, certainly. You cannot reason with a child as with an adult. Thus you make them do certain things because you know better.

Personal anecdote: when I was young I resented my parents for making me do all this "pointless crap". I even told my dad I hated him. He very calmly told me back "That's OK. You can hate me for this now. You will not hate me however when you're 22". He was right.
Because noone can order anyone at Google to work on anything except what he likes to?
If your system can stand to be down or unresponsive until the IT guy shows up to fix it, then sure.

They're liars, but they're good at it. Because they know you, because they are you.

This, I found, is one of the worst aspects of depression. You begin (if you're lucky) to realize you cannot trust what your own brain is telling you.

It's insidious.

"Folks, lets have us a book burnin!" said Obama. Fortunately, it's not 1960 and the information they seek to control is already out and cannot be controlled.

> The author is more likely suffering from an existential crisis than actually being clincially depressed.

Could you please further explain what distinction you are trying to draw here?

Because it sounds an awful lot like you're trying to downplay how the author feels, which is in fact exactly what she has gone to some pains to express.
It's worth pointing out that there are many non-psychopathic conditions that are associated with a dearth of emotions. If you're worried (or curious), talk to someone with training.
> However, I gave up counting the number of times I read about life being "meaningless". The author is more likely suffering from an existential crisis than actually being clincially depressed.

The post sums up the author's last 2 years, the author's previous post on the subject was http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.be/2011/10/adventures-in-d..., the author posted this because the author has managed to start the process of dealing with the problem and because the author's fans, readers and online friends have been worrying about the author.

And you're an asshole, I urge you to go fuck yourself post-haste.
I believe it's legal to manufacture guns (that would normally be legal) for personal use in the United States without any permit or license or anything.

Also they're not saying the data is illegal, it just may be illegal to "export".
Do exactly what I tell my teens to do. Figure out what you want to do. Go hang out with those who already do it. Its not about spending money or age; it is about being useful to those who need passionate people in their field. Time is your greatest asset in this regard. Be known, be available, and good things will happen.

There are some big problems with that plan. If I want to sell 100 shares, but I think that you also want to sell 100 shares but there is only 150 shares of demand then I'm incented to put in an order to sell 200 shares so that I capture 2/3rds of the demand.

But you're incented to do the same thing! So if you're going to put in an order for 200 maybe I should put in an order for 400? You can see where this is going...

People worry about HFT destabilizing the market. It seems to me that would be a much greater risk if you're incentivizing people to put in crazy orders that they don't actually want to do just to grab the percentage of demand that they desire.
Definitely agree.
But I wonder what happens when your parent(s) do both those things but in different ways for different things?

Yeah, God says, "I'll make your enemies footstools," but it's just sweet nothing love from a parent. He does, actually, do stuff like punish you, sometimes. Not so much punish enemies. He's just like a parent.

God says...

16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD: 16:36 Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness
discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the
idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which
thou didst give unto them; 16:37 Behold, therefore I will gather all
thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou
hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather
them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto
them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

16:38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed
blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

16:39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw
down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they
shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels,
and leave thee naked and bare.

Author here. This is my first attempt at open sourcing code!

Some background: I work at Pollen Digital in Sydney, Australia. We regularly get web-based projects to develop and release. My manager encouraged me to package up my workflow and send it out into the world. So here it is.

The workflow created by this generator utilises the following tools:

Grunt as the task runner

Bower as the package manager for web libraries/frameworks

Jade

CoffeeScript

LESS

I also wrote a little utility that amends css/js/image references in Jade and LESS files with their corresponding md5 checksums (first 8 characters to be specific) as a means for cache busting. This is included in gruntutils/index.coffee under the generated project's root.

You know why I'm going to download this? Because I never played the game and when I finally downloaded it to play, there were major graphics engine or driver issues that made it dirt slow and unplayable on my m11x R2.

What a silly reason. But true. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Linux beta was more bug free in my experience than the Windows version...

1. Tiger moms in America are far more permissive, they swing back and forth - providing an unstable and inconsistent environment for their children. 2.

Problem is: its just a malfunction of the brain.
If somebody has bad eyes you don't request that the person just should make an extra effort to see better and think it is the persons own fault if the amateur 'advise' doesn't help. You give him glasses. If a brain function is affected we are still in the state of hocuspocus, making patients and families suffer more then needed, even make them feel guilty about it. Maybe we just may not have the knowledge for a correct medication, until then the "healthy" people should learn to respect and really listen and take the depressive person serious.Its just a malfunction. It is as it is.
