What I think a lot of people are missing is that the entire notion of mental illness is a hack. The basic definition of any mental illness requires that it interferes with ones ability to live a normal life. Resist the urge to deconstruct that for a second, I'll come back to it.

Some people have problems that some type of professional help can enable them to solve. This can range from people who need medication to avoid seeing and hearing things that aren't there to people who need CBT to get out of a self-destructive rut to people who need cosmetic surgery to feel like their body fits their subjective gender. But the United States is full of systems where you need a diagnosis to do anything--bill insurance, prescribe medication, declare someone to have a disability so they can collect income without working. So DSM is a tool for psychologists and psychiatrists to put a code down on a form so the system will let them help people.

This is why there's a stipulation that it's only a mental illness if it prevents you from living a normal life. Lots of people have the symptoms of mental illness, just not to such a degree that it warrants intervention. Having compulsive rituals is perfectly normal--compulsively washing your hands until they bleed is not. A good mental health professional will know the difference and only provide a diagnosis when it's necessary. But ultimately the DSM isn't a bedrock of abnormal psychology, it's just a tool psychologists use to make the system let them help people.
I'm still annoyed that iGoogle is going away. I've tried some alternatives and still haven't found one I like as well. And now it reminds me every day that its going away. Ugh.

It would have been great confirmation of all that he writes about to see some photos from his trip -- specially of the infamous garbage patch.
The linux package managers are significantly better than homebrew/macports. If you're using Debian or a distro based off of Debian (Ubuntu, CrunchBang, ...etc) then you can use apt-get or aptitude.

If you're using redhat or a distro based off of redhat (Centos, ClearOS, Fedora) then you use the yum package manager.

Finally you have arch linux which uses pacman and yaourt (for non-official packages).

are we just being "gaijin" by taking the article at face value.

japanese are particularly good at keeping different segments of their identity separate.
Summary: It's the story of how a student writes "Teach naked" into the evaluation form for a feminism class. Reading this becomes a life-changing event for the evaluated lecturer. 2 stupid words are suddenly multiply by a factor >10,000 (blog posts, comments) + lectures about this event + ... .
This is nonsense. A classic case of mistaking an anecdote for data.

There's lots of year-to-year variation in currents which affect life in the ocean. In turn, the birds which depend on seafood vary tremendously.

For example, two years ago Pelagic Cormorants had tremendous problems with their food source off of Northern California. So the Cormorants moved around seeking food. Santa Clara County, which normally goes years without seeing this species, saw dozens.

If you want to find out if something is actually going on, go talk to the ornithologists who monitor the nesting sites for the seabirds.
Actually, package managers are core to most Linux distributions! That's been the case long before there was ever Homebrew for OS X. You should almost never have to manually install from source if you're installing anything relatively well-known.

If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, you should use the APT package manager. A good tutorial can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto

If you're Fedora or Red Hat, you should use yum, which a tool for the RPM package manager. Here is a list of basic yum commands: http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumCommands

You can find more explanations/tutorials if you search using queries like "apt tutorial ubuntu" or "yum tutorial red hat." Hope you get acquainted quickly!

This might raise the question: Why make Homebrew work on Linux if other package managers exist already and work really well? I can think of a couple reasons: 1) fun experimentation, and 2) the fact that Homebrew formulas are Ruby code, which many people find more approachable to write than APT or RPM packages. My opinion is that it would be fun to see Homebrew on Linux, but it's not necessary given that existing package managers work very well, and many developers are willing to do the work of packaging for the rest of us.
Again: We talk about short term affairs -- both of these cases would be visible in VD statistics.

Also note the additional obvious problems: Other birth control sales, just like condoms, are easy to find statistically -- and environmental factors ought to be obvious among people trying to get kids.
If you really want to build from source, there is always Gentoo as well.

And wade through a forest of false positives.
The Japanese in the article are missing out
on what man/woman love can really mean
and the value it can have.

So there should be not just
'friction' but 'love' (with the
help that Mother Nature provides)
with commitment,
caring, affection, intimacy, passion,
joining of lives, vows, romance,
trust (he doesn't return from a
business trip and discover that
she's drained the checkbook
and savings account, took the
best of the household belongings
and the dog, and is gone),
respect, responsiveness
(they respond to each other),
supportive families (e.g., he gets
a job in her father's business),
collection of activities, memories,
and traditions like, don't want to lose,
can't get anywhere else, and that cause
'lock in',
homes ("where the heart is, where you are
loved even when you are wrong"), and children
("the most rewarding thing we did").

Joining? For a few hundred years
in Western Civilization, standard marriage
vows started off with "We gather together
to join this man and this women with
the bonds of holy matrimony.", and there
is wisdom there.

Or, for a more direct explanation,
she has two legs. He has two legs. If she breaks a leg, then she is down to one leg to help her broken leg get well. But joined with him with good vows, commitment, etc. they have four legs with three good legs to help her broken leg get well. The three legs are three times better than just the one. Can rattle off 10,000 such cases faster than can say them.

People don't want to be alone. Being alone is scary. Nearly all baby mammals know this. Being joined to someone is much more secure.

This can be great stuff, some of the
best in life, even without children,
and one night stands are nothing like
the same. The article omitted nearly
all the really good stuff.

This is actually a reasonable article, but has been aparently flagged below the top 100 (currently, #105).

That was quick action by the thought police...!
Fortunately once we've sucked the earth dry of it's resources and die out ourselves, it should eventually recover.
Have you tried non-casual sex? The whole point of sex is to make an intimate connection with another person; I'll agree it's kind of pointless without that. But then again so is porn. Hence the original question: it's a very solipsistic attitude that porn is an adequate replacement for sex.
Why have different names based on cpu architecture? Isn't that way too inside baseball?

Even an entire human lifetime is an eyeblink in the ebb and flow of the ocean environment. No matter what experience a person has, his own observations mean nothing, or rather, are insufficient to assign any causality other than natural variability. Most of the species that have ever lived in the oceans (or anywhere else on the planet) are now extinct, and this happened long before humans had any influence.

Mozilla hasn't used PSNR. They've used PSNR-HVS-M, which is more sophisticated.

In test of objective metrics SSIM was one of the best (0.8 spearman correlation with human scores) http://www.ponomarenko.info/tid2008.htm

IHMO the study has been done very well. They've even eliminated potential differences coming from colorspace conversion and chroma subsampling. If anything, this study favors WebP that can't do full-resolution color.
I wonder if a possible solution here is to distribute a Makefile or something that extracts the assets (sprites, music) from a ROM. I think this would make hosting a live version somewhat dubious, but the code should always be able to be distributed.

N.B. I am not a lawyer.
I disagree with the first sentence:

> The linux package managers are significantly better than homebrew/macports

I think homebrew has an infinitely better UI than apt-get (I use both OS X and Ubuntu full-time at work, OS X and Arch at home). Where the Linux package managers are better is stability; homebrew doesn't have rigid enough testing practices to support the aggressiveness in which they update packages. But that falls on the devs and not the tool.

EDIT:

It seems that people think I meant "GUI" when I said UI. I strictly meant User Interface; in this case, the command line is the front-end to the user interface. I feel that homebrew has a better CLI than things like apt-get or pacman.
I use linuxbrew to manage installations under my home directory because I don't have root privilege. And I found that quite useful. But if you have root privilege, there is no reason not to use package manager provided by the distro.
This was the most depressing bit for me:

"But they said they'd calculated that the environmental damage from burning the fuel to do that job would be worse than just leaving the debris there."

I think that's a fairly neat example of a weakness of modern environmentalism: an obsession with CO2 over everything else.
It is bizarre really. Apple managed to keep OSX running even in their transition from PowerPC to Intel, not sure why Microsoft decided to split Windows up quite so badly.
A lot of people are looking at the utter destruction of freedom that raising a family is today, and choosing not to. It's not just the price of real estate, it's inflation too. Roll into that the lack of job security and negative real interest rates and it's no wonder people can't think about a future.

One of the most basic needs when planning for a future is the prospect that the future will be better than the past. It's now very difficult to arrange that independently of constant advancement at work and constant advancement at work requires tremendous amounts of effort.

People are getting squeezed from both sides. I feel this myself, and I'm doing quite well statistically; white, male, educated, highly skilled and gainfully employed.
It's not just CPU architecture; it's also major features like what kinds of software the app can run. One only runs mobile apps, and the other can run stuff going all the way back to MS-DOS.

It's like if Apple had decided to rebrand iOS as "Mac OS X TP".
This comment is going to get downvoted for meta-ness and probably because everyone disagrees with me but I just have to speak my mind: I'd like a version of hacker news sans the constant hysteria all the time.
Yeah, but how many business was using Google Checkout as only method of payment?
This decision will hurt only those businesses. Rest of businesses using Google Checkout will remove one of payments method. Not a big deal, and we may guess that this method was probably not so popular already.
It's interesting to see the statement that a problem like this can 'probably only be solved by governments' when governments so far have completely failed to solve it, and the proposed non-government solutions (such as removing the limitations on the liability of polluters, and allowing those whose health or livelihood has been injured by pollution to sue, potentially by class action) have never even been attempted. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and inspecting a different result." After a few large polluters went bankrupt after multi-billion dollar payouts to fishermen, beachgoers and such, I imagine industry as a whole would be more wary about pollution. Without limited liability - limited by government, I should add - BP would almost certainly be bankrupt by now. As would whichever company owned the nuclear plant that leaked in Japan.

The title is linkbait, to be sure, but I think that in focusing on the hyperbolic linkbaiting, you miss the ultimate point of the article, which to me is to describe a growing cultural shift in relationships, which is having major social and economic repercussions.
it is obvious they don't take basic security seriously

I would disagree.

For a very actively developed web site, it takes very good focus to not trip up. Having a bounty program is an indication to me that they take security seriously. Fixing a security bug in a matter of hours indicates to me that they take security seriously.
You can't photograph the garbage patch in any meaningful way. It isn't visible. There are more fine plastic particles per cubic meter of water and you are more likely than normal to happen a cross a bit of floating plastic, but a picture doesn't tell the story.

If you have seen pictures of solid garbage on the water, you are probably looking at a large bay in a metropolitan area, say Manila.
And speaking with the sex therapist, who also acknowledges the shift in young peoples' cultural approach to sex? Should we disregard that as well?

Also, while the title is certainly link-baity, I think the point of the article is more about the lack of desire to cultivate meaningful intimate relationships that turn into families.
That's because his post is newer than the announcement that Checkout would close. It was probably in his "Dead products" list.
All of windows is there, including win32. Only MS apps like office can use it though.
Why have one that can run unsigned code and one that can't based on CPU architecture?

Why have both a tablet UI and a desktop?
After using os x for a bit w/homebrew, I'd sum it up like this:

OS X has a design philosophy of simplicity for the average user. Putting commom settings into guis, and having the more complex ones in terminal. Homebrew follows this. Its great for installing, removing, and searching, but if you want to do something complex have fun.

Desktop Linux distros caters to the power user. Its idea is why have lots of GUIs which hide the 'advanced configuration', and instead uses command line. Lots of UX design has gone into these commands to insure that they remain simple enough.

Finally windows on the other hand decided to avoid the terminal at all costs. They decided to put every single setting into a gui with little consideration on what the 'average' user will use.
Actually he did refer to how Chick-fil-a "stepped in deep shit".
The entire notion of mental illness is a hack-Job.

That sounds about right.
Don't forgot about blocks, which were huge. Apple's evolution of ObjC has been very well thought out and quite impressive.

On the topic of Cocoa and ObjC generally, one thing I found strange at first that I've come to love is method names interleaved with the arguments: [someObj doStuffSomething:something frob:aFrob]; So much clearer and harder to accidentally mess up than someObj.doStuff(something, frob)

Enough with that nonsense. You had plenty of notice and a reasonable deprication period: http://googlecommerce.blogspot.com/2013/05/an-update-to-goog... and also a superior replacement in Wallet

If anyone is to depricate anything that is the way to do it.

Yours is the generic reactionary comment for these sorts of submissions. You ignore the motive and thinking behind these actions and resort to FUD.
This probably must sound reasonable, at least for a guy who was taught this things during his whole life. But as for me, any relationships I can imagine with a human being is a painful nightmare. I don't really know if I enjoy loneliness or not, but at least I don't find it painful at all.
There was a survey made by the Japanese Government this year, where they found that about 55% of marriages had been having sex less than 1 time every 3 months.

The OP post here discrediting the situation in Japan claiming cultural differences is not understanding that shit DID went downhill.

(by the way, even before the earthquake, there was already numerous article and blog posts written by western reporters but also japanese women complaining that young japanese women cannot convince grasseaters to fuck them... there was even some people that went to reveal their personal anecdotes of forcing men to sleep naked with them, and the guy just... slept, and no matter how much the women caressed him, he just would not have sex)
This is really important, and the kind of thing that was glaringly missing when people replied to my newbie questions.

There is a whole "big-picture" aspect that is glossed over by experts, especially experts that were guided throughout in internships and first-jobs.

I would say that the obstacle for an average joe to get his ideas up in the web on some capacity is not HTML/CSS/JS/Backbone programming knowledge, but deployment. People who say Heroku is braindead simple are not seeing the bigger picture (although it is great).

I'm not sure about you, but the fact that 45% of Japanese women had "no interest or despised sex" was quite news to me, and is definitely worth reporting, and honestly not far from the thesis of the headline.
Well, we seem to be talking about kindness in regards to how it makes you feel.

Kindness does not work if it is forced. You can force people to do "kind" things, but that won't make them happy. Likewise, when we have unkindness built into systems, it doesn't necessarily make people feel bad, because they're being forced to do it (or at least, not as bad).
So I have an opinion on why these types of game kickstarters fail:

You're trying to sell me a game, not a story.

There are thousands of games I could buy and most of them cost very little. But I don't. You have to figure out why I don't buy these games and then why I would put money on the line for yours.

The only game I supported on kickstarter so far was Doublefine Adventure. Why? Because I knew I would get high quality entertainment in the form of following the story through the excellent 2PP documentary. I'm not even that invested in traditional point&click adventures and don't have that much geek craze for Tim Schafer. But I know a good story when I see one. Right from the start, that was what I wanted. I don't even know whether I will actually play the game in the end, but I know there are some guys halfway across the globe who are having a great time and sharing it through the project I supported.

Read the list of 0 A.D. and you will see that the only things it mentions are game related points. I should support this because I care about gaming - sorry, I don't. It tells me I should care about software freedom and I do, but that doesn't make me support this. Because software freedom is useless if it's wasted on people who cannot deal with it. So I would need to know these people - but I don't get to know them apart from a couple of run of the mill headshot descriptions that could apply to dozens of other programmers as well. The entire trailer is basically about how they aspire to deliver the a great game: Graphics! Depth! Gameplay! Open Source! Professional Soundtrack!

But no matter how awesome your technology is or how committed your team is and whatnot. If you don't have a story that I can follow, I won't give you my money.
Relatedly, here is an excellent article on ocean acidification by the Seattle Times:

Have you used synaptic?
Exactly. But those services are typically provided to entire families by BigCo - padded margins sound like this is a space where a cost-focused company could stand to make quite a bit of money.
Microsoft should get their act together, really. I recently bought Windows 8 from Microsoft Store online for $150 and installed it on my iMac. Turns out, after installation, that it's just an update package and can't be properly activated with the included activation code (the ISO is full Windows). Now, I can't even activate it because it has 'bricked itself' in an boot/update loop of some sort. What is this nonsense Microsoft?
We have a failure to communicate. God talks. You don't want to fuck with Moses.

I basically have authority over Obama and Congress. We put God in front of scientists equipment. God talks. Everybody obeys.

It will probably play-out like Moses and Pharaoh. Pharaoh fought through all the plagues and Moses finally went around him.
They're aware of that as a startup they fund asked them to look at WebP again because it worked so well for their use-case of icons with alpha. I believe that is why they reopened the bug.

It's not covered by this study though.
What I really like is that hr.js isn't built on Backbone, it rather is highly-inspired by it. That's a BIG advantage over things like Marionette/Chaplin/etc, because Backbone has certain holes/assumptions (see my comment elsewhere) which cannot be completely negated in an elegant/simple way, or even at all. Overriding the heck out of everything, or adding a gazillion new classes/sub-classes, or tossing the original component is not simple and elegant when done on a grand scale, imho.

This is to say that hr.js seems to be offering more out-of-the-box solutions and flexibility than Marionette/Chaplin/etc, while being a lot cleaner and more straightforward as well. Good on you hr.js :)
That regexp fails with fields containing '"':s, but I guess you can grep for embedded double quotes ("") first.

Are there multiple variants of coding '"' in CSV fields? I don't know -- but some people who do know are those who write the CSV libs I use!

Edit: And as your link notes, it fails for embedded \n:s. Imnsho, awk needs csv (and json, etc) builtin, preferable as a plugin architecture. But then, why not just use the Perl superset?
portage also supports custom packages in additional port trees similar to homebrew.
