What the heck makes you think psychosis is very rare? Over 3% of the population will experience it in their lifetime[1]. That isn't "very rare" in the slightest. People might not talk about it, because they are ashamed, there is still a big stigma against mental illness.

I've known quite a few people who had/has psychosis, including family members. One person I knew (an acquaintance) spent as much of the time sleeping as possible because it was the only time the voices ever stopped. They always told her to do horrible things, such as light herself on fire and she wanted very bad to escape them. She tried to live as normal of a life as possible out in public, however she often had very bad "breakdowns" in private. For all the author knows he worked so hard because that was his escape from the psychosis and one day the psychosis got out of hand.

I had a friend once who told me about his friend (someone I never met). The only way his friend could tell the difference between real people and the people he hallucinated was his hallucinations didn't have shadows.

I've reached a similar conclusion lately in dealing with burnout. I'm trying to figure out who I really want to be, rather than what I thought I was supposed to be.

It wasn't so much movies,books,etc, but as a 34 yr-old ex-computer geek of the 90's, I'm dealing with my own "expectations" complex.

I spent day and night back then on computers, building them, fixing them, coding, fixing them at schools, local businesses, for parents, friends, friends of my parents, etc, and I heard over and over and over again that I was "a genius" or "the next Bill Gates" and so on.

Well, turns out I'm not "the next Bill Gates". But I sure have spent the last 10 years trying to figure out how to live up to those high expectations.

As a result, I've become relatively successful in my business, but I'm always combating burnout as I wonder if what I'm doing is really what I should actually be doing with my life - or if this is just a response to all the praise I had as a teenager because I had that natural knack for computers back in the day when people still thought CD-ROMs were cup holders (joke).

I'm sure I'm not alone in this HN crowd. Many of you in your 30's must have had a similar experience. At least I know my own friends back then did.

And yes, I do feel that need to be "recognized" for some reason. Why the heck is that?
Close some tabs.
It seems more likely that it was a bad hire rather than a bad marriage (more thought probably went into the marriage decision than the hire decision). Clearly wife and employee didn't get along well, and wife made some unfortunate judgement calls in how to deal with the situation. It still seems possible she just wanted to protect her husband from a toxic employee, and just chose the wrong way of doing so.

Imagine getting a restraining order from an employee of your husbands company. I suppose they should have made a cut way sooner...
That's a definition of feminism and exposes how the term is completely pointless to use to attack people because of how vague the definition is.

It is obvious to some extent, Prius was the badge of honor for many "bleeding green", now the mantle has been taken by Tesla and rightfully so.

Electric cars have many advantages - because the fuel is now electricity which can be produced from multiple sources. If you are motivated customer, you can produce it on your roof (in limited amounts usual max is 10kW plant) and of course if you have land, you can add some small medium wind devices.

But most of the people have to remember a one very green option available to them, that is use your current car till it goes into the grave and while doing so drive sparingly and only on need basis. The biggest problem with carbon footprint reduction is life-style and behavior every thing else is a symptoms of it.
That is quite cool, but you weren't joking about expensive!
Not really. Occam's razor says that it's more likely there was just one 777. Assuming this analysis is correct, that would lead me to suspect that the radar just picked up a different plane, and the accident plane is somewhere else completely. Either it flew for hours with the pilots unconscious, or they managed to land somewhere (gently enough so that the power to the satellite transceiver stayed on).
I don't quite understand what this is for? I get that you can create pipelines, but at a higher level when would one need this functionality?

There are a couple that I can think of that are in the same kind of vein as OneNote:

- Growly Notes, (free) which actually partly emulates how OneNote works: http://growlybird.com/notes/index.html

- Circus Ponies Notebook, (paid, $50) which is very different from OneNote but is a good note taking environment and is quite clean and has some good features

- And if you really need some insane power: Curio, (paid, $100) where the basic concept is to emulate the power of a whiteboard. It includes things like mindmaps, tables, linking between boards, etc. The features list is insane.
There are desks that move up and down with you. Though I've found that a monitor and keyboard stand that slides up and down is a cheaper alternative (http://www.ergotron.com/tabid/65/PRDID/379/language/en-US/de...). It may still be tough finding one with a range of motion large enough for someone as tall as yourself.

I don't see Prius and Tesla as comparable products. The Prius is a low-performance econobox but it does have unlimited range due to being a hybrid and is practical for most everyday transportation needs. The Tesla is a high performance, expensive, limited-range specialty vehicle, impractical for many uses.
Yeah... I reduced the image sizes..

>If they wanted to get rid of these guys stealthily this is not the way. //

Isn't it a "hidden in plain site" sort of stealth though.

Everyone assumes that the plane was lost naturally and so there is no-one looking to find those you've taken. Meanwhile you can have the plane melted down, dispose of bodies and cargo and keep whatever it was you wanted without any one (or country) knowing you've got it.

Stealthy.

Is there proof that that kind of behavior actually brings about good results? I think it might just be a myth. The quote is from a rant about some written application where the applicant sounded too full of himself. But I think such things can also backfire. It isn't at all obvious to me that who boasts the most is the most likely to get the job.

Although I admit there are studies that show in groups people tend to trust the people who claim they know the most.

It makes me slightly sad that the median routine just sorts the data, and looks at the middle. I was hoping for quickselect, which uses 4N comparisons in the average case.

or maybe Blum, Floyd, Pratt, Rivest, and Tarjan if you're being fancy, which is 24N comparisons in the worst case (but more than 4N for the average case).

You're an idiot, but here goes. If you are in the West, 8.8.8.8 is not hosted thousands of kilometers away, it's hosted at your ISP like most other google services. If you had looked into it, which clearly you have not (because as we know, you are an idiot) you would find that 8.8.8.8 is faster, more reliable, and more accurate than most people's ISP DNS servers. ISPs and captive portals like hotels and coffee shops like to hijack NXDOMAIN to serve ads, which 8.8.8.8 never does.

If you are in China or Africa or India or Russia, 8.8.8.8 might not be faster but it's also not hosted by your local totalitarian junta.

If one applies the typical standards of high school English to this article, asking "What is it trying to communicate?" "What is someone trying to tell me?" etc., one will be left very empty. It's a puff piece, inflating a corporate celebrity. All of the text is designed to persuade you that "yes, indeed, this man surely is impressive. Yes, this company is impressive."

With all that gleaming prose, it's easy to forget all the things one might want to know, such as, "How can I do this, too?" or "Are there any pitfalls or problems with this?" "Are these appropriations of resources worth it or is this a Dutch tulip fiasco playing out in slow-motion?" "Why are people so starved for quality in other parts of their lives that they demand quality in their digital appliances?"

But none of that really matters, b/c Time is a dying, over-inflated magazine, so they'll just put "Apple" and "Design" in a headline, mollify people with fascinating details with no hint of self-reflection and call it a day.

In short, this an article for sheep, not people trying to figure out how to make the world good.

But I don't want things delivered to my doorstep, and I doubt I am the only one.

I am rarely home during the day (I work) and I don't like having expensive items sitting on my porch in the weather where anyone can swipe it.

I'd rather stop by a 24-hour (drive through) facility where I can swipe my credit card and get my package when I am ready. It's more convenient for me and it saves last-mile shipping costs.
Some interesting looking companies there. Might be merit in running a more local session, e.g. for folks in Scotland's own main cities that might not be aware of their options?

it is not about that specific fuck up about to go down, but about all the many proposition coming from the commission. Propositions which couldn't be introduced in a normal parliament, because they would be discussed and citizens would be at alert.
E.g. the data retention laws.

The EU distanced itself so far from it's citizens, most topics things don't reach the people here and this "regulation" is the best example.

The EU is not democratic at all. The parliament members can't even propose new legislations and EU laws are not always compatible with nation constitutions which renders it's purpose close to illegitimate.

Instead we have a far away bunch of "politicians" or better "soldiers" ready to legitimate everything with enough money and power.

F# is definitely a nice language. I haven't done any large scale projects in it, but what I have done has been very nice. Check out type providers if you haven't already. They're really interesting and handy. I switched over to F# as my side/fun language from Clojure when my day-job became .NET. It's not that I'd say they're equivalent languages, but the way of thinking about most things was similar enough that it felt right. On top of that, it was nice having a fairly strong type system to back things up. It meshed more with how I think about things.

Hah, I probably should have assumed LINQ would top the list of a linq post. I remember before I knew what LINQ was about. Once I started using it, it quickly became one of my favorite parts of the language/ecosystem.

I really do feel that the things you've mentioned do make it a much cleaner and more consistent language than Java. I've got a friend who switched from full time Java to C# recently. I'll have to see what he thinks as well.

Very nice, OneNote is a pretty fantastic program that I never really found a good replacement for. I used it mostly for college course lecturing, and it was great. Although I don't teach anymore, it would still be really handy for workshops and things like that.

Your theory explains half the story , atleast in my case. Programming is getting increasingly competitive and so some of the anxiety is motivated by worries about my future job security.

There has never been a better time to be born as a driven and prodigious individual. There are lots of young kids today leveraging technology produce music, code , draw and animate all through the power of the internet. Eg: Today I was amazed to learn that EDM producer Madeon is only 19 years old.

People might be burning themselves out by falling for the "hero" meme , but on the other hand , I feel that in a few years this will lead to an explosion of quality and output in every field as more prodigies are created.

Just imagine , there are 10 and 12 year olds browsing HN right now and they're being exposed to levels of ambition and mastery that they could never even imagine if they were restricted to their local peer group. So it starts young but on the other hand we might start seeing more progress than ever before.
I use it because every ISP i've used in North America hijacks shit and feeds it through their own search portal, driving me nuts in the process.

So basically the issue Google is trying to solve, is that in the US where the telecom market is completely failed, there aren't any ISPs which has DNS servers complying to the actual DNS spec or RFC 1035?

Why don't everyone just jump out and say so then? Why does Google and you guys here talk about everything else instead of that? That's by no means an obvious thing to someone coming from the outside.

Does everyone here actually assume that all ISP's on the planet fail to deliver proper DNS with their internet services? What sort of insane assumption is that?

Threads like this is a nice reminder to myself (and maybe others, hint hint) that the cultural gap on the internet is always bigger than you think, even in "small" circles like this.

And everyone: Thanks for the highly enlightening downvotes for asking a IMO very valid question. It's appreciated, informative and certainly constructive.
My cause and effect was definitely editorial, but I think the process of becoming educated is a process of assimilating into the status quo, and thereby the middle class. As such, I think it's largely selecting people who do what they're told.

Educated people are not necessarily benefiting at all from the status quo before they become educated. They may have worked their way through all kinds of adversity to achieve that education. That they now benefit from the status quo (that they invested in) would be why those people would want to preserve it, not because they always benefited from it.

I agree with you that it's totally rational.
This is hilarious! I think I might actually be doing better than the numbered version. Great creative work!
Don't forget that the conversation on tickets is forced to be linear. Nested replies are not possible.
I don't think there's much in that car manufacturers can not do to be far more competitive with lower margins. Look at today's mid-upper range from say Hyundai, they tend to have a lot of features that would be in a 2-4 year old Buick or Mercedes for 1/2 to 1/4 the price.

I had a 2009 Hyudai Sonata 4-dr with the v6 before my current car, and liked it a lot. It was about 1/2 the price of the car I have now. To be honest, I can't even really get the most out of my V8 for day to day driving, and mostly got the new car for coolness factor (2012 Challenger R/T). There's times I also miss my pickup truck.

I also accept that for the most part, I'm not most people. Just the same, I have no doubt that Hyundai or Kia could match Mercedes, BMW, Catillac and the like for a significantly lower price. The rules of economics still apply though. The image of a "lesser" brand would not be offset by higher quality to increase demand/price. Why do you think Toyota sells their high end under the Lexus brand?

Beyond all this, there's nothing wrong with selling a product for as much as you can get.
I think it's easier to raise/lower a chair that has only one thing in it--my butt--than to raise/lower a desk that has many, many things on it, some of which teeter around a bit. When I had a standing desk, I occasionally used a stool that had foot rests built into it.
When I was considering a similar scenario, I looked at the airports around there and found Kota Bharu to be much closer. The runway may not be similar in length, but if your plane is on fire, you would not be picky.

It is at least 200km closer than Langkawi. The flight path was also close to Kota Bharu, so one theory does not exclude the other.

Maybe somebody with more knowledge of an autopilot can offer some insight: what happens is you overshoot your programmed target? With it go in a holding pattern? Would the autopilot disengage? Or will the plane continue on its course?
