I think it's very important to understand and accept that what you are feeling is not a normal state. I would say try to think focus your efforts on arriving at the normal state; of being able to feel pleasure and happiness. Depression is well within the range of human emotion, but you must understand the other parts of the range, and work towards them! As it has already been said, it sounds like what you're feeling is chemical, and you should try to address that -- you can't easily rationalize depression away if its in fact chemical.

BTW, I am very happy to hear that you've been helping the needy and being selfless in general :-)!
That was an immediate concern I considered as well. Like, a drug front that sets up a little website that looks like a restaurant or something. Only customers would ever really know about it, but Magic service providers would find it when someone asks for it. Customers place "secret code" orders with Magic. Magic unwittingly delivers drugs (or whatever contraband) throughout the city.

But...then I concluded that surely it's ultimately cheaper and safer to just hire your own drug couriers. Given the slightest risk of discovery, they're less likely to reveal anything about the sender or to know the identity the recipient, unlike Magic.

So yeah, some people will always slip some shady stuff through every now and then. But I don't think Magic is the best solution to any of those illicit problems. No illegal arms dealer is sitting around thinking, "If only I had someone to deliver all these gun orders, I'd be rich!"
It's a #clojurecup hackathon project and our site is for demo only. We wipe all repositories from time to time to free resources for new users because we are using the cheapest hosting. I'm agree with you that it should be integrated but we don't prepare for that right now. btw if you want to help us we could discuss this.
Had some ideas for this as well (would only work for 'file workers' like programmers) and build something basic using Go to cover all desktops. But then decided those basics are to simple to implement (and therefore copy) to actually make good revenues in the long term.

I also wondered if there really is a market as it is not that difficult and still nobody else seems to do this.

But an idea is just a start of a long process. I am curious how you will price it and what features will be added to make it more unique. Good luck !
Have a look at a book published in 1930 by the composer Henry Cowell New Musical Resources. He is imagining a future where composers can realise music directly without performers.

Conlon Nancarrow realised part of Cowell's program by writing piano music note by note with a player roll punch. He was pushing the medium and the resulting compositions are very hard if not impossible for a human pianist to play.

Daphne Oram used a more analogue system of photocells, blank cinema film and black ink to 'draw' music directly - her system specified the amplitude, frequency and harmonic complexity of sounds through time.

RO-BOW is an art work, but it strikes me as sort of like a deliberate use of black and white film in a pin hole camera by a photographer. Quaint, interesting, thought provoking, but quite retro when you can record images in full colour with enormous resolution. This paragraph isn't quite capturing what I'm trying to say so I'll have another think...
And what a useless comment GETBX is.

I've actually already read this before, years ago when I was at my worst.
I'm not sure about you, but it took me until halfway into the reading to figure out that the interview was actually being honest. It may be just bad comprehension on my part, but the phrasing of the circumstances of the interview, as well as the way the interviewer spoke ("ECMAScript 2015"?), made me assume it was going to be some sort of satirical article.

That, as well as the ball of code that was the boilerplate, made me assume that this was some kind of parody of actual interviews. It wasn't until I was reading through the tortoise-and-hare bit that I realized the author was actually being serious.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that that kind of question even comes up in interviews--I think like easily 99% of a startup's tech problems are probably better reflected by "How do we handle rounded corners in legacy browsers" or "How do you provision a server because we can't afford AWS" or "What would you consider three essential libraries for Javascript on the backend, and why?".

These CS questions just seem like underhanded trivia, especially when you dress up straightforward problem with a bunch of extra noise. They'd be fun to work through with an interviewee, as a way of seeing how they think about a problem, but just dropping it on them as sink-or-swim in a hostile environment doesn't seem very nice.
Color me flabbergasted. Props to these guys for launching an MVP and all that, but seriously - what a value proposition: "Why order online when you can get someone else to do that for you adding an undisclosed middleman fee?". First world problems.

I find it amazing (for good) that Nim, a language that was made in obscurity by a handful developers managed to be compared to a high visibility language backed by many organizations and people.
This in itself isn't a bad thing. When I'm porting code, I try to start with a proven code-base and port from there, while iterating the code to make it more idiomatic (e.g. "case OP_LOADK" is not idiomatic Go).

The problem is, if the author has based their code on this library, they seem not to have credited it (At least, I couldn't find it on my cursory look at the file headers).

I find it interesting that so many are disparaging this for not being backwards compatible, etc., when there is simply no need. The title of the post clearly states it's a replacement for ls, so why should it be backwards compatible?

It's not like everything everyone ever makes has to be a perfect fit in every capacity. A guy made a replacement for 'ls' as a fun thing to do in a language he likes. We make toys all the time and if you don't you probably just don't even like programming. The fact that he'd share this with us because he thought other people might be interested is precisely why places like these are good.

We might as well just start disparaging every posted project for not being a solution to starvation around the world if we're going to condemn everything that isn't an immediate step 'forward'. Let people make things they think are neat and try to see the positive side of things instead.

If someone's selling you a product I can see this behaviour being warranted, but when someone is trying to show you something they made because they think it's neat, you don't jump on it as if he's trying to change the world with it.
It's important that you are not alone with these thoughts. You need someone to talk with you, the person that would understand how you feel and be willing to listen. Then they can share their views with you as well. As previously mentioned, it doesn't have to be a professional - could be a friend, a family member.

If you feel there is no-one or you need more people - I am willing to give you my contact info.

This sounds exactly like my situation to a T.

I'll be straightforward: I'd love to chat -- anonymously of course -- in the hope that we both might benefit. I cooked up a GMail account just for that reason, which you can find in my profile.

I'll monitor it for the next day or so if you'd accept the offer.

Dear OP, your second user account (an_tye_h3ro) is getting auto-killed, which you won't notice while logged in, so only people with showdead enabled can see comments from that account. I've sent an email to HN about it but they're probably fast asleep right now. Maybe see if you can post on the original throwaway again?

Additionally, there's a dead comment from streetwiseherc you might want to read which will show up if you enable showdead in your profile

Hope you feel better soon

edit: I see you noticed just before I commented and posted asking why you've been shadowbanned - FYI, it's an automatic thing if HN detects a new account from the Tor network. Mods will normally undo the ban once they notice, if they think it isn't deserved.

I'm also from a country without great access to health care(Ukraine) :)

My experience is about remembering the moment in my life where I was lying on the floor, then saying in rattling voice "I've decided to live" and getting on my feet. Not sure what was the reason to live before that :)

Now it's probably more about things to look forward to. Mine thing is hanging out with children(they're so energetic!). If you're on hacker news, you probably know some programming, if so maybe volunteering as a teacher for an orphanage can be a nice thing to do?
I wonder if this might be the push that functional programming + formal verification needs to hit the mainstream.

Compare Erlang, for example, which must have seemed needlessly complex and theoretical outside of modern super-horizontal-scale computing.

I understand that NASA, the #1 in "if this code breaks we all lose our jobs" driven development, are big into formal methods. I think applying that same rigor to smart microwaves wouldn't be such a bad thing.

That's a brilliant comment!

I've noticed that Go seems to be fairly popular for emulators / simple VMs as well. I'm currently working on a SID emulator in Go, and I'm finding it quite fun! (unfortunately, it means that I then need to write a proof of concept synth-like API to the SID, then a proof of concept sequencer to control the synth...)

Damn rabbit holes.
If you are amenable to reading a short non-fiction book, Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl discusses this topic exactly. He recounts his struggles with the same question while trying to survive the Holocaust. As an added dimension, the author was a highly respected psychologist.

As someone who suffers from mental health disorders, I found it immensely helpful.

I hate to be running to the government for this, but... the FCC has regulations that require some level of testing for devices that are going to use certain parts of the spectrum. Some parts have been declared "free zones" and I believe that's where the wifi systems tend to operate.

Perhaps we need the FCC to step in there and mandate some basic security certification for connected devices. At the very least the certifications should check that:

* The device always uses some form of encrypted communications if at all possible based on what it's communicating with

* If the device implements some form of remote control, that remote control includes both sufficiently secure authentication and authorisation mechanisms to ensure that at least it will take some effort to break into

* The device does not leak personal data to unauthorised or unauthenticated requesters, and provides a clear list of what data will be willingly communicated to whom (software should do that too...)

And so on...

The certification process could/should be implemented by high-reputation security companies like Kasperski or Matasano...

Until/unless some barrier to entry is erected, I think it's inevitable that everything that can be connected will be, and that this will mostly be insecure. In the meantime, I guess the solution is to only buy potentially connected devices from premium technology companies (e.g. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, Nest, etc) - but then, of course, those companies don't sell everything (e.g. no microwaves, car washes, etc) so that would limit the range of things you can safely purchase, for now...

On that note, given how corrupt and broken the US system is, perhaps this needs to start in Europe, where there is already a general mindset of consumer and personal data protection...

So how would the expected answer look like?

1. Create an array of visited squares

2. Return false if square has been visited before, add current square to visited

3. Return true

Would this be correct?

Adria Richards made it very public. Whoever those developers were, they kept very quiet and Hank apologized and didn't assign any blame to Adria. That's the real difference.
Like Jim Barksdale used to say - there are two ways of making money, you can bundle or unbundle. Magic is clearly a very clever bundling play.
I think it's quite conceivable that both examples would never happen. And then if it did, is it that big a problem?
Yes, I think that it is important to make this point around as docker gains popularity: security is not part of their original design. The problem they apparently wanted to solve initially is the ability for a linux binary to run, whatever its dependencies are, on any system.

It does try to keep containers separated but it does not enforce thatthrough a particularly strong mechanism.

Bettering yourself, by constantly learning and experiencing new things, can be a great part of life.

Read some of the great books that exist in the world. They contain amazing thoughts that might change your entire mindset.
Curiosity really. Things will happen in the next 50 years that I'd like to learn/know/see/do, and something (life) is better than nothing (death). Even if I knew in that all the broader goals of my life I would fail and be miserable, I'd still derive some pleasure from reading and learning and just observing humanity as a whole. Allie Brosh wrote two excellent blogs about depression that you may enjoy (or at least relate to, my partner swore this was the best explanation for her depression): http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/adventures-...

This is neat. I like the simple execution, and I'm working on something metaphorically similar in that I'm using Stripe and other separate Bitcoin APIs in a similar "amalgamated" way to create a well-rounded application that does a simple service really well. This gives me the confidence that a "mashup"-like concept isn't necessarily the downfall of a service, so long as it provides real value to the end-user.

I wish the Magic team the best!
> basically I had all of my dreams in life shattered [...]. The long-term stress robbed me of any self-confidence.

The following might apply to you or not - you have to decide yourself: You might have connected your self-confidence to your goals or dreams or success and are possibly also comparing yourself to others (jealousy). You need to let go of all that, since love for life is at the very bottom of everything, and does not come by struggling for it. There are countless reasons to live, as you have surely experienced before - you just can't see them right now. This will change eventually, and it's worth to stick around to get to see it. So that's one thing. The other thing is the situation you find yourself in, which you still might want to improve. To do that without becoming depressed, try to reserve a fixed amount of time to work toward any goals, without becoming attached to them. Just put in the effort every day for a fixed amount of time. If the things you want to change can't be changed by working towards them, you need to let them go, too.

Does this ring a bell? If not, each depression is different - and I hope some of the other comments help you.
I've struggled with the same question and seemingly just to add to my despair I find I cannot answer the question satisfactorily.

The only reason I do keep living is that I find I can't answer the opposite question either:

Why not keep living?

At least for that variant many reasons do surface, and whilst none seem overwhelmingly strong they do allow the question to evolve into:

Why not keep living a little while longer?

A deferred decision as I've found no strong answers either way.

I suspect that living a long life is to just not have strong answers either way and to discover that time has passed and now you're old.

I don't buy the argument that suicide isn't an option, of course it is. When despair is all you have, and the future is bleak, it sometimes can appear to be the only option. Somehow though, a short time later, decision not made, I've always found myself in some place in which I'm glad I didn't. In which I've found some peace, some bliss, some joy from life... and doing so has driven the despair away.

I have no answer for "Why keep living?", but if you are willing to consider changing things in your life (to get away from the things that bring you despair) then you can find some answers of varying merit to the opposite question.

I won't diminish your feelings by claiming this is a total solution, but getting regular exercise has really helped me come back from the place of despair I was in a few months ago. You don't need to be fit; I definitely wasn't. Something as simple as walking for an hour or two a day is free and has huge benefits; it'll get you up and outside of your normal environment, shake up your routine/rut, improve your sleep and hopefully help get you some of those feel-good chemicals pumping again. Any weight loss or fitness gains are a nice self-esteem boosting cherry on top.

I enjoy listening to audiobooks and podcasts while I'm out doing my daily 6 miles. Is there a book you really like, or one you've been really wanting to read? Get the audiobook and commit to a walking experiment for the 10-20 hours it takes to listen through that one book.
Most of what was worth saying has been said already, so I'll just add a simple stone to the growing pile of rocks/comments that symbolise the fact that we care and want you to get better. This strange state of mind you're in will pass, one way or another. There are people around the world who, without even knowing you personally, empathise deeply and genuinely care about your continued existence.

You're not alone, though it may feel like that some time.

Every day that you continue to exist is a victory for all of us.
I've noticed that too, but I don't really know if that is a common practice.

It made me wonder what this Carpenter would do if he was not aware of possible questions or he was given something he was not prepared for.
Feeling anxious and depressed for no discernible reason is the definition of clinical depression/anxiety. Please understand that, just as if you had a foot cut off and was bleeding profusely, you are acutely sick. Hence you need professional help. Nothing shameful about that, just like there's no shame in asking for a doctor to put your broken leg back together.

You would be surprised how common this is, even among "successful" valley founders.
