Maybe no one of us will understand your pain completely, but please don't kill yourself.

Start looking around, if you are not satisfied with your life at this moment, then why you don't try something different?

You talked about pull the plug, instead of taking this route, which would be your end. Why not trying something that could be a new start in your life?

Stop with negative thinking, and try to figure out a solution to keep with us.

Matheus.
Are you planning on integrating this with multisite?
I'm not sure how to feel on this one. I doubt my dad (an enrolled member of one of the plains tribes) will be pleased as the Redskins are his favorite NFL team.

If I was the Apache Foundation, I would be looking for another name.
Excellent resource, I remember wrestling with learning celery and how to do some simple things, loved finding Flower to monitor things.

I will say though Celery is probably overkill for a lot of tasks people think to use it for, in my case it was mandated to support scaling for a startup that never launched, partly because they kept looking at new technologies for problems they didn't have yet.
Spammers targeting mattcutts.com doesn't make sense. You are assuming Cutts plays the same SEO-game, and has the same "I have to be number one for my keywords" ambition, which isn't a given. All spammers do by targeting him is giving his spam team more data. mattcutts.com is just bait, no downside if it gets negative-SEO attacked, lots of upside.

The more negative SEO that happens, the more data that gives Google. Overtime, the negative SEO sources will be over-saturated, offering no benefit for either positive or negative SEO.

Driving down the positive and negative value of links makes all SEO link building efforts consequently worthless. Which in turns increases the importance of other ranking factors.

This is a natural evolution, in tiny tiny steps Google is nudging people into playing it's game - producing websites that have content. SEOers are slowly falling into line building private link networks, paying people to write content, afraid to spin/rehash existing content because it might leave a fingerprint Google can detect.

It's fascinating watching.
Apparently those measures have not had an negative effect on productivity in the Netherlands, so I do not see where you are coming from.

And you are also forgetting that this is done to prevent the spread of life-threatening diseases for which we do not have a working treatment yet and the emergence of new diseases of that kind.

Those are hard problems. Hunger in the first world is not (we already overproduce any kind of food) and even if meat would become scarce we could just use a fraction of the resources which are now used to raise livestock to feed ourselves.
You're flailing around moving the goalposts at this point. The Predator/Reaper drones are more generalist platforms than you'd need for a disposable drone built around an air to air missile.
You may confuse the tidings of a bipolar disorder with external effects like co-workers. I think one of the most important part of dealing with depression is stopping to blame external circumstances, other people and even yourself. Come to think of it, stop blaming anything or anyone (like in buddhist phiĺosophy)!

Another part is to objectify suicidal thoughts. They are both extremely real, but caused by the disease and distorting reality. It's very easy to find reasons for suicidal thoughts, but they are hardly ever "true".
Starting with tests is usually a better first step. Mostly functional tests are easiest to write.

If you can find parts to replace into separate services, that is best. So you can slowly migrate the system, whilst gaining the benefits quickly for the new code. That way, if the project takes a year, bug fixes can happen in the new code. Also features can be added to the new code.

Also, if after a year and the old system is still being used, then valid questions may be asked about what use the new system is.

choose one of the poorest country in the world and take a week from your job to visit, it'll open your mind. You will see how people manage to live in difficult times. Don't stay in a hotel room. You will come back and will not have time to even think about suicide.
Go find a therapist. Now. Don't wait. Suicidal thoughts are considered an urgent mental health issue so you will probably be covered by health care.

Even if you weren't suicidal a psychologist is a great place to air your grievances without judgment. Well worth it.
This page fires me up about this project:

http://www.visual6502.org/wiki/index.php?title=6502_-_simula...

For either educational purposes or SoC experiments it fires me up to think of a transistor level FPGA version of a '386, eventually.

This kind of thing is the eventual long term application of this guys project, aside from abstract art.

(I'm in "submitting too fast" punishment mode, so this edit is a reply to theatrus2:

Yes you are correct and inspired by the 6502 project, Peter Monta wrote a GPL utility that converts from transistor netlists to Verilog (or was it VHDL?). You can probably find it on SF or github. As far as I know its in a working state, not just vaporware or something.

So its also a cool project in that it inspires interesting software development.)
The author didn't owe anyone a filesystem encryption program. He still gave one to people for his own reasons. The fact that some people are pissed about the thing he gave them for free says more about those people than it does about him.

He doesn't owe anyone anything.

EDIT Fox must have good lawyers because I couldn't find Comic Book Guy complaining about how Itchy & Scratchy owe him because they've given him hundreds of hours of entertainment for free.
And you consider this a proper answer? Have you actually read the whole email? My personal opinion remains the same, but maybe let's just agree to disagree?
Out of blatant curiosity I'd like to know how you came about leaving your birth religion. Any Jehovah's Witnesses I've met seem to be so ideologically committed to that religion that I have a hard time imagining how anyone could reach a place where they stopped identifying with it. Care to shed some light on this? Also, thanks for sharing!
> You're a terrible person, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

That's not a great thing to say to a person either. Suicidal or not.
"all that experience and confidence will lull you into a false sense of safety"

I've noticed that that happens with many different things in a similar way.

You get confident, you slip up, you work faster, you make mistakes.

When you start out boating (with a new boat) you are oh so very careful.

Then you gain confidence and you start to take more chances. All the sudden things that you could never imagine yourself doing when you start you do. An example might be getting caught in an inlet with a boat during a period when larger boats are all trying to go in or out at the same time and you are tossed left and right.

Programming as well. Say doing a rm -fr foo * in stead of rm -fr foo* and not catching it because you hit return to fast instead of making sure the statement was correct. [1]

[1] I got into the habit of doing for i in foo* ; echo $i ; done and then inserting the rm -fr statement (by using uparrow) just as a precaution to slow me down.
How increasing the price of your products can result in more sales
It's completely obvious to me. Because I have morals, I may feel sorry for homeless/sick/poor/other people/animals/countries, but it's illogical to me to give my money/care/efforts to any other than those that rely on me.
Found an article on that here: http://nypost.com/2013/06/30/he-jumped-off-the-golden-gate-b...
Where are you getting your numbers?

IE is at ~60% of desktop browsers and sites that report combined numbers for multiple device types sometimes reduce their desktop numbers.
But Slingshot might well qualify under the toothbrush rule. Never underestimate the bounds of people's vanity.
not just gnome, iterm as well. it appears as if watch doesn't support terminal color escaping correctly.
I think it's a great thing to say to someone who agitates a suicidal person, personally.
Indeed. I get a little depressed thinking about the hours I've wasted on the tonymac forums looking up solutions to the problems I've having and trying random things to see if it worked.

Time I could've spent much more productively.
Elon Musk: I'll put HUMANS on MARS by 2026
Thank you for being so completely transparent about things like this, I wished this attitude was more common in the IT world.
My grandpa wondered about $200 dungerees. Going into the Apple store and walking out with a box is an experience people will pay for. So is looking at one's desk and remembering that experience via gazing at an artifact or suggesting that experience in conversation.

There's more to it than that of course, just as with $200 pants - they're often nicer to wear rather than good enough. So long as they fit. But they aren't usually cut for all body shapes. It's ok to say 'Not for me' and move on by which I mean that assuming this is an alternative to a Mini has already ruled out all those people who don't consider Mini's in the first place.
Intel used to release good-sized posters of those chips (I might have one) with enough detail to sorta make out transistors. I lamented later chips as they were so complex the details all blurred into a metallic grey, even at poster sizes.
Called it last week when SolarWinds started posting lots of Linux Admin jobs.
The UI refresh was a bit of a disaster. Pingdom didn't need significant changes because it worked well at what it did. I just wanted to know when my servers went down and when they came back up.

Now with their UI change I can't even change the SMS provider to use, which means one of our devops staff doesn't get the SMSes he's supposed to. He also gets changed from the US country code to Afghanistan's. I've got a trouble ticket open with them that keeps getting auto-closed after 120 hours of "inactivity" because they said "yep, that looks like a bug, we'll let you know when fixed".
Which database? A JDBC one?
Apache is not a derogatory name for an American Indian.

'"Redskin" is a term for Native Americans. Its connotations are a subject of debate,[1] although the term is defined in current dictionaries of American English as "usually offensive",[2] "disparaging",[3][4] "insulting",[5] and "taboo." [6]'

My life has gone along pretty similar lines. It's always good when you see there are others who made it! Congratulations!

In case you're serious, it's because "do not be a crybaby" is not an appropriate response to someone suffering from mental issues.

If you said to me "Hey, I cut my hand really badly, and I'm bleeding quite seriously. What should I do?" it wouldn't be correct to say "do not be a crybaby." The right answer is "Go to the hospital and get some stitches."

It's the same with mental issues. They're a wound like any other.
Findings I found interesting:

1. No correlation between build frequency and build failure ratio. 2. No correlation between build time and build frequency. 3. No correlation between experience and build failure ratio.
That's so obvious now you mention it :-)
Any spammy link created now should simply be discarded, it either is an attack or it is a fool. Either way ignore
Not sure 'apache' is quite the same as 'redskins'.

This is also a good reason to not use a Mac at all and instead use an OS that does not lock you into a single line of hardware.
I disagree with the characterization in #1 (although I can't speak to the Celery particulars). I feel like if you have a job that is critical to your business process, the job should be persisted to your database and created within the same database transaction as whatever is kicking off the job.

Consider how background jobs are typically managed with RabbitMQ, Redis, etc. They are usually created in an "after commit" hook from whatever gets persisted to your relational database. In this scenario, there is a gap between the database transaction being committed and the job being sent to and persisted by RabbitMQ or Redis; during this gap the only record of that task is being held in a process's memory.

If this process gets killed suddenly during this gap, that background job will be lost forever. It sounds unlikely, but if RabbitMQ or Redis is down and the process has to sit and retry, waiting for them to come back online, the gap can be sizable.
That's a shame. I built one for fun and it works perfectly. There were a couple of tweaks I had to make to get dual monitors working, the sound working, etc, but it didn't take longer than a few hours.
Yes, exactly. With the cut-off date being the panda roll-out.
As a heavy Ableton user and coder I would like to have a coding environment that also has powerful gui libraries so I can quickly implement faders and knobs and stuff when needed but also be able to change code on the fly. Kind of get the best of both worlds for the ultimate hacking music environment.
This is something similar and very interesting but for visual stuff based on openFrameworks:

Show HN: Topic
Since Spout never really existed as a working Minecraft server and SpoutCraft was a vanilla client mod I'll assume you mean they were doing selling while being vanilla mods. In that case, the most likely reason they got away with it isn't because it was a loophole but because it was so under the radar Mojang didn't notice or care.
Or that people continue to bother him/her with bombarding emails, public cynical skepticism, baseless speculation, and more.

How about we stop bothering the poor developer(s) and let them be. They have already contributed more to the world than most of us here - time for them to get the well deserved rest they seek.

It wouldn't surprise me to see in the future fundraisings like this for security purposes.

btw does anyone knows if this is considered reverse engineering by law?
Mainly because the checksum is a very good source of truth. Not every file you get is named correctly, or the same as originally intended.

Regardless of the checking method, will there be an API to add episodes to a personal list, regardless of check sum or filname checking?

Next feature: notification of new episodes, particular by collecting group?

These are pretty much the 2 killer features I personally use AniDB for. The back end code for me is less important, because everything I need it to do, is being done. :)
they might be nsa guys :) who knows.
Britain's Greatest Codebreaker
Why do you think CryptoSeal failed? What are some lessons learned from running a YC startup for the past 3 years? It would be very interesting to see a postmortem.
A subset is already covered by the http://knowyourmeme.com site.
Adrenaline can do that to you. Unfortunately, it passes.

I try very hard to not make big, life-changing decisions when I'm happy and energetic, because it's usually jumping (if you'll excuse the pun) feet first into commitments that I'm not going to be able to keep when I go back to normal, level attitude--or even worse--my low periods, when failing at my commitments is not only a foregone conclusion, but I know it, and it makes me feel worse.

I can't tell you how many times I've resolved "this time, I'm going to ride my bike every day" or "this time, I'm going to work a normal schedule and not procrastinate". Yes, it's about willpower, but willpower is a function of energy. No energy, no willpower.

That's one of the insidious things about depression as a disease: it works to keep itself in place. Depression (saps|is-caused-by-a-sap-of) energy. It's like a lead blanket, holding you down in the chair, keeping you from the exercise and healthful food and water and sunlight you need to get out of it. I know it's not an animate object, but it helps me to think of it as so. I won't let "it" consume me, "it" win.
Well, Apache is the name of a group of tribes and they might decide they want the website back.

And I take a bit of an offense at you telling me or my Dad what you think Redskin means versus what he grew up with and myself growing up on a reservation with the slang "skins" being used often and not in anyway like your dictionary definition probably written by someone who had never set foot on a reservation.
oh, yeah!

This part made me curious:

> it is about getting into the VPN business.

If I remember correctly, CryptoSeal for consumers was shut down after concerns about the security/privacy of VPNs in general. Is Cloudflare in a better position to offer a secure VPN in the US? Maybe they have some better lawyers or infrastructure?
OS tools such as WP, Drupal, et al aren't even remotely in the same class of app as Scoop, or those built by various other online pubs (exa: Salon), nor are they "new", some have roots going back five and ten plus years in the respective org.

The conclusion is way off base and ill informed; early digital pubs recognized immediately that OS CMS systems and blogware weren't going to cut it and brewed their own tech (a few of which were subjected to attempted productization, which inevitably failed, exa: vignette storyserver), and nothing's really changed in that regard.

know your history before you declare a renaissance, mm-kay
Jeez... nobody says he owes anything to anyone. Nobody said that people are pissed (maybe you are?) I think people are just disappointed because he destroyed something really valuable and he clearly hampers any attempts to recover that damage.
Please stop pretending I'm advocating JS crypto. I did no such thing, and you are being extremely disingenious and rude for suggesting that.
So you think polling is the most effective solution, it is perhaps the case.

I was thinking whether using something like gevent or Tornado, a bit like nodejs, would enable the webserver to keep the socket open without blocking while the computation is made in a worker, then return the result simply to the socket, thus avoiding having to write a more complex websocket-based or polling-based system, but rather using AJAX transparently :)
Seems like you're saying the benefits of the new spam detection outweigh the negatives. I disagree.

With the old system, a site could be scummy, and spammy, and get themselves to the top of Google by using questionable practices. This is still possible today (though only slightly more difficult than it was before), but it also gives a website the power to destroy a completely unrelated website's ranking.

In attempting to better control spam, Google has created a brand new weapon to use. One I feel has the potential to be even worse than spamming and link boosting.
The Apache group of tribes probably have a much stronger case with an WPO or trademark claim now to get the name and website (apache.org).

I believe it, that Google Wallet is geared towards mobile app developers. It's almost implied that Google Wallet is for mobile by the way they describe what Google Wallet is on their website: "Google Wallet is a free digital wallet that securely stores your credit cards, debit cards, loyalty cards offers and more. With Google Wallet, you can shop in stores, buy online, and send money."[1] The only part of this I see as not necessarily mobile is "buy online", but even that can be mobile and/or on the desktop/laptop.

Don't make happiness in life conditional on other people's behavior. You cannot control other people. Even if you do everything right, your wife might leave you and your kids might turn out to be serial killers. They have their own agency and can make their own choices. You can't control other people.

Unfortunately humans are incredibly hard-wired to seek happiness in other people. Even the well-balanced professionals who don't care about money indicate that the #1 thing they desire is the admiration of their colleagues. Most hackers like us definitely fit in that mold.

I don't have any solutions to that. Maybe if I identify the problem someone else can come up with an answer. Dunno.

EDIT: We should make sure admiration is not a zero-sum game. Don't tell people on HN that there are only a certain number of ways to succeed. I've probably violated this rule many times, like complaining about people making yet another framework, which forks my attention.
It would make more sense if you said "calling something a crime is...".

I disagree with this comment due to the level of colloquial discussion. Illegal is (colloquially) whatever you can't do because of the law. (Just about the only exception is a contract, which you might be forced to follow because of the law, but we don't view as part of the law in a colloquial sense.)

Regarding "nothing will happen, you don't even have to feel bad." That is a very narrow view and I disagree that this is the correct way to view all civil torts.

Indeed, the whole idea of a tort is that you have wronged someone. You are literally saying that you don't ever have to feel bad for wronging someone, because they would have to sue you and prove their case, even though an entire field of law has been enacted to give them the possibility of making them whole again.

On a very literal level, you are saying "you don't have to feel bad for wronging your neighbor." (Which is the definition of a tort.)

Look, I even argue for a new form of a tort (civil liability) here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7910112

precisely because of how damaging it is to someone. The terms I use is that it shoudl "be illegal", and I compare it with libel and slander, which are both torts.

Basically, your view is no different from saying that you are innocent until you are proven guilty of a crime. Well, yes and no.
It could be the user sending a computation to the server and wanting its interface to be updated as soon as the computation is done, it is feasible by regularly polling the backend after launching a worker process, but this adds complexity compared to simply opening a non-blocking socket a la nodejs & waiting for the worker to finish its job & sending the result back to the browser
