C++11/14 can't be used without upgrading your compilers. Go and Rust use standard toolchains.

Go is also crossplatform, whereas gcc/clang don't like working on Windows, and Microsoft doesn't like implementing the full C++11/14 specs without waiting years after the open source community has already been using the full specs. This results in fragmentation.
Well, derived classes are meant to be drop-in replacement for the base class. In that sense it totally makes sense that you can't have a non-generic child class of a generic base class. Otherwise it encourages design where classes are treated as method dumps.

I've been fighting exhaustion/fatigue, and some degree of depression that seems to always come with exhaustion, for more than 10 years. It's been a journey to put it mildly, but now I know myself better than ever.

From what I've read and learnt during these years, is that exercise seems to be the most effective treatment. This is the only thing I've not tried seriously yet.

Medication has helped a bit. I can say they are no quick fix, you have to give them at least 3-4 months before you stabilize and can start to reason about how you feel and how to proceed. I hesitated before I tried them, and feel that it was quite dumb and a waste of time to not take them earlier.

The last thing I'd like to mention, is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT. It worked really well for me. I managed to do several things I wanted to do for years, and the feeling was incredible to finally get out of the catch-22.

Here in (Nordic Country), CBT is not a crazy sign. I know a lot of people that go and have CBT sessions for things like to reason about how to unstuck their life, solve issues at work.

It's no more weird than having a personal trainer at the gym.

From your wording it seems you really feel you need to do something. I don't think your mental health will get better without you changing or doing something about it.

Perhaps you could take a few CBT sessions for your depression, but officially say it's because you want to accelerate your career? Soften your friend and coworkers by sending them links to articles about becoming more efficient at work via CBT?

It's really unproductive and shameful that mental health issues are so stigmatic.

Thank your for replying to me instead of just drive-by down-voting. I wish you luck finding a solution that fits you.
It is possible! But how you go about doing it would depend on your goals, how much time you would have for it, and how much physics and math you know.

The thing about astronomy is that it changes quickly, but not that quickly. The timescale for major changes in our knowledge of astronomy is perhaps ~10 years or so (that's usually how long it takes a big problem to be solved), so it's not as though it's something you need to keep on top of every day or every week. (Unless you're a professional astronomer and want to be aware of all the new papers coming out.) As a consequence of this, textbooks are a good place to start for background. There are tons, but Carroll & Ostlie is a good general introduction to all aspects of modern astrophysics. Each chapter also has general and technical references so you know where to go to learn more about any subjects that you find interesting.

For discussions of current problems in astronomy, the journal Annual Reviews in Astronomy & Astrophysics is a good place to start. Current articles are paywalled, but most of them appear on arxiv.org, so you can search for them there. They contain summaries of all the recent research on a particular problem. If you're interested in learned more about that particular problem, they're a good place to start because they'll point you to all the important papers on the subject.

Another good resource is ADS. You can search for papers here: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/default_service.html You can search for specific papers, or just search for papers with a particular keyword in the abstract or title. There's a handy feature that lets you sort by citations so that you can easily find the most influential papers.

Finally, you can find the newest papers here: http://arxiv.org/list/astro-ph/new About ~50 new papers appear here every weekday. It's a lot to keep up with even if you're a professional, but it can be useful to skim the titles every now and again and see what looks interesting. The introduction to astronomy papers usually acts as a sort of mini-review article. It'll review the problem that the paper is examining and will reference other papers that have looked at this problem. So from reading introductions you can get some background on the problem and the ways that astronomers have been trying to solve it -- and it's a lot shorter than a full review article!

Some of the problems may seem somewhat opaque if you don't have the necessary physics background, but not all of them are, so don't get discouraged! Or if that inspires you to learn more physics, so much the better!

> Why do you get a composition of functions by applying a functor to individual functions? It seems like a functor is just something you can map over. When a functor is mapped over the end result is another functor. Not a function nor a composition of functions.

A function is a Functor. ;)

If you have a function f and a function g, fmap f g = h, and h is a function. A more common way to write this is function composition of f and g, which can be written: f . g. The dot (.) is function composition. Which means that fmap f g = f . g, which means that fmap = (.).

> When a functor is mapped over the end result is another functor. Not a function nor a composition of functions.

But they was describing the case when the Functor in question is a function.
"I've learned that people's expectations grow faster than their wealth. The country is richer than it's ever been. I don't think it's as happy as it's ever been."

Greater than half the country did not participate in the supposed recovery. Check out the plunge over five years in the labor force, the unemployment rate among teenagers, blacks, hispanics, the use of food stamps, the use of ss disability, etc. Real wages haven't moved in 40 years. It's little wonder it's not an overly happy country, most people have not participated in the Fed's asset inflation party. The rich are richer than they've ever been, the poor are the poorest they've arguably been since the great depression. Not arguing the why's mind you, but there is a very good reason the country doesn't seem very happy.

I'm drinking my second Diet Coke (with Splenda®) of the day right now. I find it to be a nice way to get a continual, low-dose of caffeine. More importantly, the flavor and fizz is very refreshing and has good mouth-feel.

Swift seems like a nice lang, but I'm surprised that proprietary, single platform language is getting so much traction on HN.

Is it because ObjectiveC is as shitty as it seems at first sight (for C like langs dev) ?
I find it kind of magical that 3D models can be ripped out of game ROMs and then manipulated like they were any old document.
Still, I look at the Swift with a low-level colored glasses: I don't care if this or that category theory aspect is covered or not. I don't care if you can imagine some nicer syntax for something (everybody can). I really care how good and how often Swift can be used instead of C, not being slower and not using more resources.

I know, <your-favorite-language-almost-nobody-uses> is nicer. But for me, if it has GC, it's a no go. I see Swift as something where I win when I can use it instead of writing C, not as something where I lose since the most of problems I solve by writing software I can't solve by writing in <some other language>.

Swift is impressive language for v0.1, very pragmatic in aspects I care about. So you see that there's chance it will probably be even more expressive in some other version. Nice. Even as it is, it's much nicer than any other options for the purposes for which it was designed.

This makes sense - Apple's philosophy is "Everything Apple" and so they have a vested interest in designing a language that gets things moving on their platform, rather than being the best language it can be right now.

If, and this is a big if, Apple is actually interested in Swift in the long term, then they will open up the language to community development so that these sorts of things can be added by the community.

My suspicion is, though, that Swift will be improved by Apple alone and that it will be pragmatically discarded when the time is appropriate. Which doesn't mean it won't have a long life, just an undignified exit.

you're right I mispoke. The article didn't promote self-diagnosis but I felt that what Osmos said subtly did, that's why I replied about it.

I think that one can end up promoting self-diagnosis and over-diagnosis simply by using the term "mildly depressed" to refer to the general idea of "being upset" or "being in a bad mood" which is becoming increasingly common in our vernacular. I would argue that it's becoming increasing common because commercial interests set out to promote it's use in that way.

Can someone explain to me why 90% women graduating in healthcare is not considered a gender gap but 90% men graduating in compsci is?

Why isn't anyone pushing to have more men go into K-12 education, nursing, etc.? And if you're considering the argument "because men tend to be less kind than women, and more likely to be child-molesters", do you also consider the argument "because women tend to want to interact more with other humans than computers" when asked why there are fewer women than men graduating compsci?

I've learned that there is no reason to take everything you read as gospel.
From the article -

"Going back to Computer Science, we see a rather sad story unfold. The computer scientists of today find themselves in the same disposition as the computer scientists of the 1970s: Only ~15% of the CS degrees were conferred to women. Then the late 1970s and early 1980s finally looked promising: With a peak at 37% of all CS degrees in 1983, it seemed as though Computer Science might join the rest of the majors with a more even gender distribution. But 1984 saw fewer women graduating with a CS degree, and the trend has followed a downward spiral ever since. What was it about the 1970s and early 1980s that made Computer Science more welcoming to women? And what changed?"

I want the answer to this question too!

I was assuming these comcast modems were 2.4GHz. But you have a point, if you're using a 5GHz router this problem is avoided.

That depends on where you live. At my house there are only 2 wireless networks near enough to matter and I moved my network to a non-overlapping channel. Also I use 2.4GHZ because 5GHz doesn't cover my entire house.

"When you are up to your neck in shit, start singing"[0].

This is from a very popular commencement speech this year at UT. Im curious to HN's opinion of this attitude in the light of the OP. I think that the scenarios are different, as the SEALs training is specifically against something, but the founder's depression arises from the against yourself. Possibly some of the lessons in the struggle for a good life and doing a good job that the SEALs have can be used to the benefit of founders and other tech workers. I think the quote I had there is a great one. When you are really in the dumps, go out and sing as a reflex.

Possibly a good way to overcome the depression that many feel is to develop a better sense of yourself, so as to recognize when to just reflexively start singing.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, especially if you can't be bothered to look.

For both teaching and nursing, there is an acute concern about the lack of men, as role models for boys in school, and in basically any healthcare profession besides "Doctor".

It should be noted however that unlike the common experience of women in CS, men in nursing frequently report that despite being a distinct minority, their opinions and ideas are often given more weight than they should be because of their gender.
There are managed services for simple stuff. I'm not saying that self-hosting is impossible, I'm just saying that many are starting to run supercomputers with gigabit connections and aren't paying any attention to security "because it's Linux and that can't be hacked". Might sound stupid but a lot of people stumble onto Ask Ubuntu spouting things like that.

I'm not sure "never needs updating" is ever going to be achievable. As long as it's connected and there could be a vulnerability, it could be exploited.
The graph is potentially misleading in that there is no weight for the various majors. This can be misleading just like Simpson's Paradox ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox ). Perhaps more men entered the field while the number of women rose as well, but more slowly, for example. The graph implies visually that the majors are of equal size and have been over time, which is not the case. (but it's hard to visualize everything together of course)
