Hey there, if you're listening! I actually dealt with something similar almost a decade ago. I never considered suicide, but during a snowy winter where I also experienced financial pressure and a lot of family strain and changes, I very slowly slipped into a sort of "fog."

I also became very sensitive, both to how people interacted with me, but even to physical things. I remember bumping my shoulder into a door one time and screaming, "OW!" It couldn't have really hurt - my shoulder is plenty strong - I think I just wanted attention. It was a natural overreaction. I would get upset about things that, in retrospect, shouldn't have really bothered me.

I also tended to wake up at 4am, filled with anxiety. I would tell myself to work, but really I would just waste time until morning came. You can't really be productive or focused at 4am.

I never felt sad or happy. I just felt nothing much at all. I was completely unaware of this at the time, of course. Other people around me were very aware of it.

My mood really disabled me, which only made things worse.

I was hesitant and too embarrassed to seek medical help, so instead I privately got a hold of some over the counter treatments: specifically 5-HTP supplements and St. John's Wort, if I recall. Although in retrospect I'm positive it was placebo effect, the instant I took these pills, I felt the fog lift over me. I physically felt something happened to me. I'll never forget it.

Really I think I just felt the relief of turning a corner, of taking some kind of action. I'm a naturally positive person who has childhood experience helping myself out of things, so maybe I was built better to deal with it. In that case, despite my success, I absolutely encourage you to seek medical help. It's no big deal. Don't sweat it. Just take a small step.

Life is short and it is amazing. Not "iPhone amazing" - but truly, absolutely amazing. It's a gift and we have a responsibility to put good things back into the world in return. You never know what good things are around the corner - but even more importantly, you can ACT to influence your life and what happens in it. Don't stress about any one thing, and make sure you are treating others well (by taking care of yourself).

Take care of yourself. You deserve to feel better.
That's extraordinary .. but it does drive home the distinction between "backup" and "online second copy of your data". Proper backups should be offline when not in use.
I agree, i found the UI changes to be a real downgrade to what was a perfectly usable service. Just the other day i was trying to track down an error and it took me about 10 minutes to track down the right page.

It feels like a real mess now.
How about drawing parallels to a similar situation? A child porn ring manages to stay online via using ever-changing URLs and relying on Google's indexing. Prosecutors of course go after the people maintaining the network. But Google still has a moral and legal obligation to stop indexing the network if feasible.

I'd say at the end of the day it's a matter of degree. In both situations, a content provider has been deemed illegal is leveraging Google to stay afloat. But while in one case Google's obligation seems like a no-brainer due to its heinous nature, the other elicits less passion.
1) Custom font isn't loading on my side (iMac, Firefox 31b). At least add some other fonts to your font stack, unless you like Times New Roman? ;)

2) Why should I "grow my reputation"?

3) Wording issues... "Enter topic here" umm... I should enter a topic? What.

4) Still waiting for my login e-mail, and seemingly no way to back out of the "already a member"/"sign up now!" white overlay.
Maybe, but I've just seen a whole reservation take a vote on a name and be ignored by the NCAA. If you can honestly tell me that this came from the tribes and was voted on by their people, I'll believe it is an actual movement. Otherwise, its just more of the loud offended that don't really give a damn about.

Sometimes the problem is that you never identified with that religion (even if you were raised in it), leaving in that case is more of a relief. The transition to the 'real world' is not without bumps, but it in the long term it is the best way for some.
Comes with an SSD build-to-order option, or a fusion drive option, which is a SSD + large HDD with the SSD as a block-level cache.[1]

If it's the same as last year's model[2], it isn't that hard if you are used to working on laptops or mini-itx cases. Just have to be careful about dust, have a few torx bit screwdrivers, and some adhesive strips which you can find for $15-20.

I think these chip layouts are already copyrighted. Sure photos have their own copyrights but you are probably infringing by producing and selling the "copyright" to these. IANAL.

Aside from that, if all you are providing is digital images of them, and the incremental cost of emailing out an image link to a funder is $0, why be stingy with what funders get?

To me this looks like nothing more than a "please fund my hobby" campaign, which I will not support.
Big changes are in general a bad idea when it comes to people struggling with clinical depression. Developing a healthy daily rhythm (sleep, food, exercise), dropping drugs and limiting alcohol intake are the first lifestyle changes a depressed person should make.

And don't forget depression is an illness. Medical help is a must. There's no healing without medical help.
Anyone who has a particularly strong opinion (coupled with strong evidence) is likely full of crap, since it just recently rolled out across the company. By the end of the year it'll be more clear what the long-term effects are.
John McMaster does some amazing stuff. Here's an example of how he took a section of a chip (Williams Special Chip 1, a blitter device used in a lot of video games) and reversed it back down to a pair of gates:

List of observances in the United States by presidential proclamation
They would potentially become more popular, but they wouldn't get the revenue from that popularity, because the knockoff vendors wouldn't pay for the rights to the Redskins IP. Since merchandise is a major revenue stream for sports teams, it seems unlikely, were it to come to that, that the team would tolerate it for too long; they wouldn't really have any choice but to change their name to something that could be trademarked to recover their merchandise revenue.
What's the general feeling here on using only Stripe for recurring/subscriptions vs adding something like ChargeBee on top of Stripe?

Even if the Apache Software Foundation were to lose the trademark on the right to exclusively use that word in the software industry, that does not mean they would necessarily need to give up the domain.

And bear in mind that trademark law does not aim to be a unique name registry. The trademark is issued in the context of the business. For example, the USPTO has trademarks registered for Apache helicopters and Apache skateboards, among others.
It feels like twitter except with "categories" replacing tags. Nothing necessarily wrong with that I guess, but I don't see why I would necessarily join. Besides there not being an english translation of the terms and conditions yet, I mean.

The random topic effect is nice but how can I find a specific topic, or set of related topics, if I'm looking for them? Not having them show up as an easy to guess API makes it all but impossible.
Yes! Dogs are also absolutely fantastic for motivating you to get out of bed and go for walks on a daily basis.

When you're in a low, low, low place you might not care about yourself enough to get out of bed. Or the world might be too painful. Or both things, plus one hundred other things.

But you will not stay in bed when you have that dog depending on you. You will not let the dog go hungry nor unwalked.

That said, a dog is not a magic pill! A dog is a huge commitment, nearly on the level of having a child, and if feeling overwhelmed is one of the causes of your depression, a dog could exacerbate that.
"For most people it started with the 80386 because it allowed running Windows and helped lead to the rise of the Internet."

whaaat.

A) In a vague, popular sense, the x86 series "started" with the 8088 and the IBM PC, obviously.

B) The 386 was contemporary with Windows 2.0 which was hardly popular. It was really used for Windows 3.0 which was a bit better. But the first majorly popular Windows release was 3.1, which was contemporary with the 486 (though it could run on 386s too).

C) The number of Windows 3.x users with direct Internet connections was awfully low. At that point everyone doing consumer-facing networking was on AOL and similar services. Associating "Windows" and the "rise of the Internet" gets you to at least Windows 95, which was a Pentium-era product.

I guess that intro statement doesn't really matter to the project, which does seem kind of cool, but it's also the first thing you read going to the page.
Yeah, I'd really like to see a DAW that incorporates SuperCollider in a transparent way along with traditional audio & MIDI tracks, a bit like how Max is integrated with Ableton.
Oh no I would never use celery for that. It was just comparing the learning curve of celery to django.
I instructed my in-laws to buy the low-end iMac last year. I tried to get them to go for a MacBook, but they had to have a desktop. The SSD would have been tons faster, but for their purposes, this works great.
TempleOS much?
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.

People do have emotions and act on them from time to time. I don't think it requires any assumptions about Cutts's ambitions, but rather about how much effort it would take an annoyed spammer/black-hat to point some of their tools at the highly visible source of their frustrations.

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.

You have a highly optimistic take on this. I think history generally shows that staying one step ahead of criminals/spammers/up-to-no-gooders is a never-ending struggle that does not tend towards positive resolution.

What "other ranking factors?" If you knew what those were, or even knew for sure they existed, the SEOs would too and they would be exploiting them. It's an entire industry whose sole purpose is to understand and game Google's rankings, and just as all this fuss about negative SEO shows, they're not losing.
This is probably useless to anyone else, but this is an idea that popped into my head once when feeling suicidal: "if these is really the ultimate reality, and not a simulation, and since I have no reasons to believe that reality is not "ultimately" real, then suicide is simply something I'm not allowed to do! even if I reduce anything to pure selfishness, I simply cannot let the ideas in my head die, I am responsible for them! I must help them spread, I must help them develop, because they might completely change the world for the better! and no matter how small the chance of one of my ideas significantly changing the world, and of one of these ideas not being in other people's heads too, this chance simply cannot be taken... I cannot risk killing an idea that could change the future of the entire universe!"

...I know, it's probably one of the most narcissistic things you've ever heard, but as even Dalai Lama said: (paraphrasing) one must be able to love himself in order to be able to love others.
Here is your annual reminder: Use SELinux.

Nothing with a shared kernel is going to be very secure. That's just the nature of the beast. It's why Docker supports SELinux. It's why RHEL and CentOS ship with pre-written SELinux policy for common daemons.

If you intend to have more than zero services on the system, you want SELinux.
I disagree that suicide is illogical. There is nothing logical about a desire to continue existing. Logic simply has no bearing on such decisions.

This is why irrational drives are essential. Down there at the bottom of whatever logical structure you have built sits an irrational longing, desire or passion which keeps you going. For the OP it was a family and a drive for successful reproduction. It can be other things, too. Without a drive like this giving you a purpose, logic won't prevent you from self-destruction.
Probably not. The test for disparagement has two elements: 1) whether the mark singles out an identifiable group; and 2) whether a substantial composite of the group would find the mark disparaging. That is to say, the mark doesn't just have to be offensive to someone somewhere, but rather it has to be perceived as disparaging by a substantial portion of the particular group singled out by the mark.

A good example of this is "Dykes on Bikes," a trademark that was allowed after evidence showing that lesbians did not find the term disparaging: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dykes_on_Bikes#Legal_battle_to_... ("The court found that men had no grounds to be offended by the term. McDermott stated his opposition against any group associated with the annual Dyke March, which he dubbed 'the Annual Illegal San Francisco Dyke Hate Riot' in which he and all men are subject to criminal attacks and civil right violations.")

In this particular case, although many native americans do not mind the term, a sizable portion find it to be akin to the n-word for african americans. Indeed, in the early 1990's a native american group brought cancellation proceedings for the trademark: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Redskins_name_contro.... The USPTO canceled the registration then, but the decision was overturned on appeal for insufficient evidence of disparagement.
I think you're missing the point. The Celery (or any task queue really) particulars are very important here, cause you don't want background workers hammering your database if they don't need to. Cause the workers wan't work with a AMQP implementation, which the database is not. It's like using a fork instead of a hammer, sure you might get a few nails but it's not the right tool for the job.

The systems that use these kinds of tools are usually not structured in a way that they need to wait for something in the database to be stored. By nature they are async tasks and they should be able to run whenever and return sometime in the future, and they will most likely produce some kind of result in the database, so there is no reason to store the job information itself in the database.

Jobs are usually not created as hooks after a database commit, so jobs being persisted with database transactions is not quite relevant and Celery has failure mechanism and ways to recover if it was not able to send a task to the broker (ie. RabbitMQ was down).

Redis and RabbitMQ do have a mechanism of persisting jobs onto disk as well so they don't get lost when the process is restarted. So there is no way that a job get's lost forever as you say, if you handle all these cases correctly.

One more thing, Python's database drivers don't work quite as you've described. Namely they don't (by design) make use of the autocommit feature of the database engine, rather they wrap every sql statement in a transaction, so either way each statement get's executed separately in it's own transaction. This would not guarantee, let's say a db record being added and the job being saved as well. You would have to use explicit atomic blocks (something a kin to what Django >= 1.6 has) to get both things or none to be persisted.

As mentioned in the article, that works if you can identify every spammy link. Without a penalty, you can make a million spammy links, let the filter catch 95% of them, and reap the benefits from the ones that get past.

That system isn't exploitable to sabotage another site's rank, but it also doesn't work at preventing link farms (as evidenced by most Google results before the recent change).
If it is important to the news publisher, there will be more and more writers that are capable of this every day. A great writer who is capable of writing 'dynamic' articles will stand out among his/her peers and be in demand until, over time, everybody writes that way for news publications.

Good to see your comment here :) I was very excited when I saw your project and blog post. Many thanks for this great job.
I interviewed with a company and during the "cultural fit" interview with the VP of Engineering, I asked why they used an open-plan office. I mentioned that there seemed to be a lot of concern in the literature and online about developer productivity in such offices. He said he "wasn't familiar" with the discussion, but he didn't think it was a problem.

I was offered a contract-to-hire situation, instead of the employment I was seeking, and was explicitly told that the reason was because I seemed to be concerned about the open office. So be careful about bringing up "science" with people who aren't interested in it.
Hey, you need to get treatment for depression. Been there, done that.

You obviously have a lot of things going for yourself, so you're absolutely right about anything else being illogical. It will pass. All the best!

Yes, because sabotaging your competitors with shady spamdexing practices fits most people's definition of "professional."

Ask HN: Freelance web developer advice
I'm a young 22 year old guy I work at a warehouse by my house which pays $12/hr and feels like slavery work. Honestly I want something better than this I was in college for 2 years but I wasn't sure what I wanted to major in or my passion so I took time to work at this labor warehouse.

I'm the type of guy who likes to stay home and play video games I guess the lazy type. Is freelancing the right choice for me as a career? I've thought about it and it sounds like something I would enjoy but I have no clue where to begin and I have questions.

What is the pay I can expect as a freelancer?
What language will land me projects and clients soon?
Where do I begin my career as a freelancer?

there are many native americans who support the use of this name. it honors them. it's perhaps the most "american" team in pro-football, next to their rivals, the cowboys. the name may genuinely offend some of native american origins. i doubt these folks happen to be fans of the team. not sure if that matters, just sayin.

edit: want to add i am totally in favor of renaming the team. it would be cool to keep the spirit..perhaps the "native americans"?
I'll look this problem. Thanks for your report.
Some placeholder text got left in:
"Remember, keep it concise, yet personal. Ask yourself: if someone stopped reading here would they be ready to make a contribution?"
Yes. That's so important to note.

Pets can go both ways. I've been in depressed states where my pets were the only thing keeping me going. I didn't want to live any more, but who would take care of my pets? I had to force myself to function so that the pets didn't starve or live in their own feces. That constant, gentle kick in the ass was what I needed a lot of the time.

Like you say, it can unfortunately cut the other way as well. Dogs are an especially high-risk proposition because they are a big time and money commitment, and if a person is feeling overwhelmed already... that could be trouble.

Possible compromise: volunteer at an animal shelter?
I've been there. You can and will get through this. Make a commitment to getting better, starting now. Take small steps and don't beat yourself up if you fall back a little sometimes. My best to you!

US doesn't want an arms race in the region so they limited South Korea to 800km range ballistic missiles with a limited payload.

So they started developing the Hyunmoo series. The Hyunmoo-3c has a range of 1500km, it is domestically built unlike the previous Hyunmoo missiles which were actually old Nike missiles from 1950s. It's interesting that South Korean engineers added a slot for carrying nuclear warheads (possibly had plans to develop nuclear weapons at some point in the 1970s).

Cruise missiles don't give the same power projection like a ballistic missile tipped with nuclear warhead. It can be intercepted which limits it's reach.
