> Like, you get depressed when your partner leaves you, or you're fired from a job or death of a loved one. So, i haven't seen anyone getting depressed without any painful emotion. Maybe I am highly wrong in that.

There are normal emotions - such as as grief - that occur after a painful event. If those feelings don't dissipate over time; if they continue to interfere with day to day living; then you might want to call that "reactive depression".

But you do not need a traumatic event to suffer depression and it's more common to not have any one specific event.

> I was just curious about the reason,

That's none of your business. It's voyeuristic and intrusive.
> So, i haven't seen anyone getting depressed without any painful emotion. Maybe I am highly wrong in that.

Yes, you are wrong, though it is slightly confusing. We use the term "depressed" in more than one way. One way is the way you used it, which is more colloquial and means "down in the dumps." The other is clinical depression [1], which is probably what smt88 is talking about.

People often get touchy about depression (as you can see by the downvotes and by smt88's sharp response to your questions) because it is very frustrating to the clinically depressed when non-clinically depressed people tell them to "just cheer up" or look for some easy reason, when such a thing just doesn't exist.

Incidentally, I didn't see anything about depression in the article. Why did you ask in the first place?

Your company is building a business solution, not Pintrest. People are going to live 8 and ten hour workdays in it. Sure there needs to be an "easy button" to help people get onboard. Maybe that is training. Qualifying customers by their willingness to invest in learning to use your product makes sense. Project management is hard enough that investments in tool acquisition pay off.

The wrong customers are worse than no customers because they look like success but arent.
One use:

On https://example.com/ I add:

<script src="//example.onion/x.js"></script>

x.js contains:

alert(
"I notice you can access Tor hidden services. We have"
+ "a hidden service address at example.onion by the way"
);

The only way this would work when you are using SSL on example.com is if you are also using SSL on example.onion.
If you want to create your own complete graphical rendering system you could look into writing a replacement for X11. You could look at the source of tinyx to help you get started. Note that the 'tiny' x source is 5mb of plaintext.

You could also look at building a graphical tool-kit (think GTK/QT) that can be used to render windows and their styling.

Finally, you could look at building a window manager with a bunch of applications which look the way you would like it to. This is probably the most achievable goal, but it also offers you the least flexibility with your rendering.

A couple of other points:
- I would definitely recommend targeting a non-mac *nix environment. My understanding of the situation is that on Mac and Windows their is little support for external renderers and basically none for custom window managers.
- Most people would consider JS is to be a pretty bad language to write one of these systems in. You will be able to use JS as the end user application programming interface if you like (a la Gnome 3), but you will likely have a tough time writing any of the three systems mentioned above in pure JS. HTML and CSS will likely only be useful for the front-end that you expose to the end users.

Finally,

> What would be the shortest/fastest path to me being able to write my own entirely custom UX?

In the field of hobby OS/systems programming the 'shortest and fastest' route is a very bad attitude to take. Building anything in this area takes time and patience, if you skim on either of these you likely won't get far.

I hope this is helpful -- good luck!

It's a slightly different use case - IFTTT and Zapier are good for duplicating data from one app to another, but the idea of Flow XO is that you can do many things in sequence. Each step can use data or make decisions from the step before it.

We also have this feature called 'Forms'. That allows someone to start a workflow when a new person is added to their CRM, send that person a form to check existing info or add new details, and then add that to the record in the CRM. Or even create something else, such as a deal at that stage.

> they should worry about Google Shopping Express and same-day delivery vs. 2-day after it's shipped.

I'm sure they do. And I'm sure something will happen in the US too. Meanwhile in the UK, Amazon has started rolling out their own delivery depots to complement their large warehouses, and leaving partners to do local delivery from their depots instead of the full end-to-end delivery.

Recently they announced that as a part result of this, they've signed a deal with a retail magazine distributor to deliver your packages to local shops etc. for pickup.

Not quite Google Shopping Express - yet - but it means that you can shortly get your packages in ~12 hours nearly UK wide, from an inventory my local stores can't compete with, because they're constrained by the cost of retail space.

> I mean, Amazon's delivery chain is absolutely amazing, but it simply can't compete with local delivery.

Most of what I've ordered from Amazon over the last year isn't available from local shops. A lot of it isn't even available from Amazons UK warehouses, and end up getting drop-shipped from other parts of the world. That's what stops me from going other places: Amazon aggregates a whole lot of sources that extends the products available to me far beyond what a service that aggregates local companies can.

And I bet that following the rollout of their local depots, they'll start predictively moving stock of their best selling products ahead of time to cut times further. Especially since the more they push through those depots, the more flexibility they will have in route scheduling for the last leg delivery to cut delivery times even further.

They definitely send a signal that success is possible, and even though the advice is (has to be, probably!) quite generic, it's still good to get a distilled overview of what the people who made this journey before us found important in hindsight.

Of course the best overall statement I ever heard from a successful person comes from Notch, who, when asked what advice he would give to someone who wanted to become as successful as him, replied: first of all, don't listen to advice. The deeper wisdom behind this that really hit a chord with me is there is no big secret which successful people can hand down to others so they may reliably replicate that success.

You might learn something, or even a lot, about procedures and attitudes that were essential, but at a fundamental level I don't think a successful person can meaningfully grasp all the factors that were instrumental to their story. A lot of what they think is essential may in fact be superstition, as they lack enough data points.

I found it's still valuable information, but as with anything, you have to weigh it critically. All things being equal, I'd put a lot more weight on advice coming from VCs or people running incubators as compared to the observations of super successful billionaire founders, simply because they have access to more data.
That is already happening to an extent, except the wares being promoted are the ads themselves and they're being sold in sub-second auctions where the bidders are different algorithms operating on behalf of various companies.

As a law-abiding family, we can only ever be victims of crime. And we've have break ins etc and it sucks. There is a really horrid fear for the first glance at the flat's door every time you come home, fear that it'll be ajar. And the fear that the car window will be broken again.

I must admit I agree with you, regarding corporate tax. Although I think it would need to be offset by a significant increase in capital gains/dividends tax, which might be hard to achieve politically.

Regarding sales tax, I don't see why VAT couldn't be manipulated in the same way. I don't know about other countries, but in Slovenia, books and food/non-alcoholic drinks have a lower VAT, and e.g. expensive cars (actually, those that have low mileage) have extra tax. The only advantage that I see of sales tax is that resale is taxed as well. Which would only obviously apply to big items (houses, cars), but people would avoid it by simply having their companies own these items.

If sales tax were to apply to companies as well (i.e. companies selling stuff to companies), I would oppose it, because it effectively penalizes a long supply chain and encourages monolithic, vertically-integrated companies.
"Facebook would treat users as “hacked’ since their location would vary throughout the world. Using the .onion address prevents the lock-out from occurring."

Curious how much people think Go will eat into Erlang? Many of the points made were about Erlang as CSP and that's Go-territory.

Loïc Hogun (author of Cowboy, other projects) said:

For me Erlang is first fault tolerant, then concurrent,
then functional

As Go gains libraries like groupcache will it become more and more go-to for networked and shared systems?

Is Go moving up from concurrent to fault-tolerant in a real way?
Being completely honest (although with a limit) with your team/employees goes a long way.
Let's see:

> I certainly don't expect most people on here to understand the short, medium, and long-term goals of my concept.

Does not expect to be understood by others.

> Like I said, I'm very protective of my IP at this point

Secretive

> it's just somewhat laughable to me because there's so many disparate concepts being put together that the only person who could be this crazy and innovative is me, because it's one of those inventions that only comes from a unique mind.

Self describes as having 'a unique mind'

> Professional Writer, Musician and Intellectual

> The innovation is one of physics

Not schooled in the field in which he's making a 'breakthrough invention'

> Liberal arts majors with a lifetime of aviation industry experience? Much more rare.

Well, obviously, yes, liberal arts majors tend not to have lifetimes of aviation industry experience.

Beware, you're sounding suspiciously like the majority of all crackpot 'researchers' and 'inventors' who are coming up with new ways to make energy/spacecraft/airplanes/AI etc in their garages. I've been pretty active on an alternative energy forum and there were quite a few people there that exhibited most or even all of the symptoms above, I never saw them produce anything.

Word to the wise: if you're serious then don't bother commenting on HN teasing the world with your invention without a show and tell, chances are that your breakthrough has been looked at many times before and has been discarded for good reasons. If you have found something original then more power to you, in that case just go out and build it, don't talk about it at all.
If I read this correctly, these components run on top of open source fork of Solaris, SmartOS?

Or SmartOS is using parts of Illumos, another for of open source Solaris, but it's not really a Solaris with its userland, but a container OS? Like Linux + Docker, but without the OS parts of Linux distribution.

The whole thing sounds very intriguing and really useful for a lot of things. I would like to do a Python Pandas DataFrame on top of Manta objects, for instance.

Hopefully someone could get a Vagrant box or something to try the whole stack on your own hardware. What I'm looking at now, I don't know where would I start building.

It sounds exactly like more of the kind of Aristotelean masturbation that has defined theoretical physics for the last 20 years or so since String Theorists decided that some abstract notion of "elegance" was more important than scientific rigour.

But there are more here and there if you hunt for them.

I think for things where they are sort of similar, Go will definitely be the more successful language because it looks so much more familiar and because it's moving faster with more momentum, at this point.

I'm using Erlang for a semi-embedded thing at the moment, though, where stability is more important.

Something we could do without, and that doesn't make any murdered person alive again. I'll go even further and say someone who kills a person and then saves the lives of 10 is still a murderer. This stuff is not up for calculation, really. But even if it was: did they also invent microwaves, or do you think there is just a tiny chance that the microwave oven would have been invented either way, at some point or another?
I reckon the main issue is reliability. In your example of car delivery, if one driver is unavailable, there's gonna be a replacement. You could argue that if one datacenter goes down there'll be another, but those too can fail - see also the Amazon outage last year or whenever it was. And unlike a car delivery, these 3rd party suppliers (like AWS) will severely impact your business if they fail.

Of course, so would a power outage. So IDK, there's pros and cons, as with everything.
Upcoming (www.upcoming.nl) - Amsterdam, The Netherlands (No remote, but we'll relocate you) - Full Stack Software Engineer

===== About us =====

Upcoming is a Dutch 'listicle' website (a listicle is an article consisting of a list of funny/informational/sentimental/whatever stuff). We've been growing continuously since we launched last year, already reaching 10% of the Dutch population with zero € spent on marketing. We’re (an independent) part of Telegraaf Media Groep, one of the biggest publishers of The Netherlands.

===== Abour our tech stack =====

We use python in the backend (Flask, Celery+RabbitMQ), and manage the frontend with Jinja2, jQuery, LESS and Grunt; persistence is done with MySQL and Redis. The deployments are automated, in a Continuous Integration environment. Our backend is developed in-house, with state-of-the-art publishing related features such as:

- Monitoring of 1000's of rss feeds from news websites, in order to detect trending articles all around the globe.

- Advanced analysis of our own articles' metrics, for automatically promoting them among our publication channels (this is aimed at maximizing virality).

- (Bayesian) Headline and thumbnail A/B testing

- Highly scalable click-through-rate optimizer, presented in a workshop of the ACM Recommender Systems conference in Hong Kong last year.

Since we're part of a big media group, some of these tools are now being used by other teams, reaching tens of millions of users every day.

===== What we're looking for =====

- CS degree and/or relevant web experience

- Ideally, someone who has spent some time across the whole stack, but we will consider people who consider themselves “just” a frontend or backend developer.

- Pragmatism

- Python experience not mandatory - just show us that you’d be willing to learn and that you’re smart :)

===== What we offer =====

- A perfect balance between working on innovation projects and “regular” web development, both with short and iterative development cycles.

- The flexibility and dynamism of working in a startup, with the strong stability of being part of a big company.

- An international environment, with people from all over the world (UK, Italy, Romania, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, and more)

- Thorough relocation assistance, regardless of where you’re coming from

- A competitive salary

- 25 vacation days

- Amsterdam! You’ll be living in one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

I think Go has a long way to (forgive the pun) go before it can really start to compete with the entire Erlang ecosystem. Only having a modest knowledge it both, Erlang is still built around stability. Hot code patching, an extremely instrumentable VM, the whole OTP framework, simple networked Actors. Erlang was built with telecom in mind.

That's not to say they can't inhabit a lot of the same areas, but Go's area of interests will probably remain somewhat separate from Erlang.
You forgot your irony tags...
In 2005, I worked in software development for 6 months before abandoning it for another field.

In my new job, I was given the task of writing a server for a messaging application - which would allow users to send a "hand-drawn" message from our own proprietary handheld device to Windows phones. I was told to learn Erlang and get it done - the company was barely 30 people and had no formal training programs. While I have a degree in theoretical computer science, I didn't do much functional programming before - learnt some Haskell in 2001 in college (just the basics, equivalent of first 6 chapters of LYAH, no monads). I remember learning Erlang over the weekend and delivering it in the first week of my job. Obviously, the code was neither great nor scalable - but I write this not to boast but to tell people that Erlang was so beautiful and easy that even an average intelligence person like me could use to produce functional software in a week. Today, my only regret is that I am not a programmer.
SmartOS is a fork of Illumos.

I have run this stack on my laptop, it requires a lot of ram (think 8GB+) and is not easy to set up, especially Manta, even when setting up from binaries. Maybe the setup part has become easier during the year I haven't touched it though.
