I don't think depression is especially hard to detect/diagnose. The big problems are more in treatment and in getting health services to give a flying fsck in the first place.
There was a previous discussion about fully distributed teams here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3976819

It sounds as though you're doing a partially distributed team though, which is hard to do correctly. You basically have to treat the remote workers same as a remotely-managed multi-site team, except a site has only 1 worker. You have to worry about any resulting politics and the remote worker(s) getting marginalized and upper management thinking "If they're not present they must not be important to the payroll". That decision made informally during free bagel friday? They haven't heard about it.

One way I've heard it put is that everyone in the office now works in a corporate branded internet cafe, and should assume they're working fully remotely. That means more written artifacts about decisions and design.

From my own experiences, similar timezones work best. If you're in the US and your coworkers 12-13 hour different from you, it's going to be difficult if you're the only person holding everything together without some working hour modifications from either side.

For the technical issues, you need a realtime and asynchronous communication component. Chat and email works fine for this, though you can also do an audio/video chat.

GoF is a (somewhat C++-centric) book about design patterns that's completely unrelated to the discussion at hand, may not be the best resource to learn about design patterns and has nothing to do with CS.

TAoCP is more like an encyclopedia; actually reading through even one chapter takes a significant amount of effort (if you want to get anything out of it). Try it. (Yes, I've worked with it.)

K&R is a 27 years old, thoroughly outdated book about C. There are better options[1].

Reagent 0.5.0 – Minimalistic ClojureScript interface to React.js
If this sort of thing interests you, I suggest you watch the following films (assuming you can find them):

* Hard Grit (http://www.slackjaw.co.uk/climbingfilms/hardgrit.html)
* Committed, Volume II (http://www.hotaches.com/climbing-films/committed-vol-2/)

Committed is especially interesting, as it follows the Whittaker siblings as teenagers, doing cutting edge, dangerous grit climbs in the Peak with the parents holding the ropes. Good stuff.

The reason YouTube exists and that you can upload videos is so said third party can make money. If they weren't monetizing videos, including yours, the service wouldn't exist. In effect, you are using your video as a form fo payment for having the service. Is a single video that much in the grand scheme of things? No; probably a fraction of a penny. But it is still part of the transaction you are paying to use their service.

Why would this context matter when monetizing it the context of how much money is made doesn't matter. Even if operating at a loss, making only pennies for every dollar spent, it still counts as monetizing?
This is true of natural age type failures. When in a RAID every drive is effectively experiencing the same experiences, down to the writes and reads, if the failure is due to the drive's interaction with its environment then one failure almost always predicts more failures.

Natural age failures are pretty rare.

Interesting. A New Yorker story on time perception which I remember being interesting too: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/04/25/the-possibilian

Personal anecdote: I have (according to my medical record; it hasn't been too bad lately but still rears its head from time to time) chronic depression and my time perception is quite screwy but not always in the same direction.

When I was first diagnosed time did drag a bit. Now I sometimes feel like time's on fast-forward, and not in a good way: I get home from work, buy dinner, cook dinner, wash the plates, it's time for bed - repeat. People tell me things that happened a year or 4 years ago were a long time ago and I'm surprised because they feel like only a few months ago to me.

I think, as bnegreve says, I need to fit more new experiences in.
I have no plans to follow him in that regard. My plan is:

Last night on NPR they were talking about the future of malls, and hence talked some about Apple stores. One of the guest mentioned that they thought Apple would have a "by appointment" shopping process that was more of a luxury experience for the high end watches.
Or you could, at a push, simply not speed? That way you won't get caught and won't need to deal with points, courses, fines and the like. Just a thought.
Reminds me of Dunbar in Joseph Heller's Catch-22 :

"Do you know how long a year takes when it's going away?" Dunbar asked Clevinger. "This long." He snapped his fingers. "A second ago you were stepping into college with your lungs full of fresh air. Today you're an old man [...] You're inches away from death every time you go on a mission. How much older can you be at your age? A half minute before that you were stepping into high school, and an unhooked brassiere was as close as you ever hoped to get to Paradise. Only a fifth of a second before that you were a small kid with a ten-week summer vacation that lasted a hundred thousand years and still ended too soon. Zip! They go rocketing by so fast. How the hell else are you ever going to slow time down?" Dunbar was almost angry when he finished.

"Well, maybe it is true," Clevinger conceded unwillingly in a subdued tone. "Maybe a long life does have to be filled with many unpleasant conditions if it's to seem long. But in that event, who wants one?"

"I do," Dunbar told him.

"Why?" Clevinger asked.

"What else is there?"
Without knowing a lot about how much time you have to put into this, I’d say writing your own engine for The Awesomest Game Ever and have it in a polished state for a summer release seems like you’re asking a lot from yourself.

Find out what you really want to build and find out what you can ditch or reuse so you can spend more time on what you’d actually enjoy doing. If you want to build a game engine, consider scoping your game so you spend more time on writing the engine and less on story, mechanics, balancing, etc. On the other hand if you just want to worry about the player’s experience then I’d suggest using an existing engine. But you can also decide to extend the deadline and go crazy on building on your own engine with the kind of gameplay and lore you’d want.

I don't understand why you support your linked article but not Djangocon's statement.

When I file my French taxes, my income justification is based on my Adjusted Gross Income on my US tax return since I don't make any money from French-EU companies.

Hibernate CascadeType.LOCK gotchas
There aren't many instances of actual fines, but this is the most prominent one: The FAA tried to fine drone pilot Raphael Pirker $10,000 [1] for being paid by the University of Virginia Medical Center to film a promo video with a drone. Pirker challenged the fine and won. The FAA changed its rules after that decision and Pirker eventually settled for $1,100.

This article totally misses the mark. The MPH and non-technical Health IT folks get super excited over FHIR, but its probably DOA. Its been mired in committee for years and makes a ton of compromises. If you look at the demo code, it isn't terrible per se[1], but ordering back to the EHR through FHIR is locked into order sets. Order sets for those not in the industry amount to pre set lists of procedure/medication/whatever orders defined on a per hospital basis. Trying to order a specific thing off order set for an individual patient is a be messier.

And honestly, the APIs at Allscripts, EPIC, et al are getting a lot better. The APIs avoid a lot of the free text nonsense that floatrock mentioned. They aren't great, especially around allergies and immunizations, but I think they have legs.

Is the game more important than the journey?

Writing your own engine for your game means your game will take a lot longer to create. That's not necessarily bad. You might enjoy the process, revel in the things you will learn. If you want to make your game, and focus solely on why it will be "The Most Awesome Game Ever", you may get frustrated seeing little movement in development because you're too busy trying to get the engine to work.

> The 'statute of limitations' for a crime needs to be much longer than the crime's potential maximum sentence.

So if someone leaves Sweden for (more than?) the length of their sentence, that is comparable to carrying out their sentence?
The problem is that Vista specs required a new machine so users didn't upgrade, then 7 fixed the spec issues, but MS didn't support a direct software upgrade path from XP to 7. Their official recommendation is back up your shit and do a clean install. I suspect that for a lot of XP users, XP was peak compute and they didn't feel a need to upgrade while their computer still worked. These are Luddites and you shouldn't simply dismiss them. This is compounded by the fact that XP users buying a computer today will get Windows 8, which will completely confuse them. MS dug their own grave.
Made me smile. Humor doesn't go down well here.
I hope they use the money to ditch the code and do a clean start because last time I checked the system was not safe, transparent,secret or auditable

I believe that Apple has probably better information that you have. The world is tremendously big. I have been with Chinese oligarchs with several hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth, the puppet oligarchs in Ukraine and Saudi Arabia supported by the US or Russia,Africa leaders,Brazil wealthy, the owners of fortune 500 companies. These people could spend 10.000 dollars with the blink of an eye. In day to day decisions they risk millions.

I don't like this, but not liking it does not make part of the reality banish.

Around 10 years ago, I heard about Facebook for the first time and bought facebook.[cTLD] on a whim, not having the faintest idea what to do with it.

After Facebook took off in my country, I'd get a few calls a week from people who wanted me to take down other peoples posts as well as from friendly but clueless law enforcement officers investigating Facebook-related complaints.

(I handed over the domain to Facebook for a bit of swag, it wasn't like I had anything meaningful to do with it)
That is why I mentioned acquiring responsibly produced pot. The issue with buying it in an anonymous online black market is that it is really hard to verify who it is coming from.
I am not sure Ruby On Rails stuff is the optimal choice if you want to work in Switzerland (for the local company). You either work at Google in Zürich or at some bank or manufacture. Hence you'd better look at Java Enterprize, IBM solutions, learn German / French, get some credibility (degree). With RoR / no degree / no proficiency in local language you'll have more chances at startups, international tech companies. It means Berlin, Amsterdam, cities in England.
I've used Entity Framework in .NET extensively, and since moving to NodeJS back ends, have used Bookshelf.JS a bit, and researched numerous others.

In my opinion, an ORM is only worth using if it is very mature. I'm talking third major version mature. My biggest pain point in using an ORM isn't a lack of features, but the inability to easily drop-down a level, and skip the abstraction in order to get something unique done.

Entity Framework has been around a long time, and is the standard in the .NET world, probably in the same way ActiveRecord is for Rails. EF not only provides well thought out and proven abstractions, but also makes it easy to just write a complex SQL query when necessary. Bookshelf.JS lacks that maturity. It was helpful at the prototyping stage, but has gotten in the way as things became more complex.

Unless there is a clear best practice for your stack, I would stick with a simple library to build parameterized SQL queries (we use Knex for NodeJS), and build a data access layer. If you layer and abstract things well, you can always start with an ORM and move away from it if/when it gets in the way.

All that said, if you're just doing CRUD, an ORM will save you time. Just know that nearly every app idea is "just CRUD" in the beginning, but tends away from that as time goes on.
I read it as that too, and I applaud that sentiment, but I agree that the "or understanding other people's" seems a bit harsh in context.

I'd even agree that in my own early 20s I was quite bad at appreciating the perspectives and life experiences of people from different backgrounds, but it's not the best way to gain the trust of people who might benefit from the service!

I suppose they mentioned it to suggest that you may not feel comfortable opening up to your colleagues and/or social group, especially if they are young men who are traditionally expected to put on a front of everything being fine and may not be open to emotional/personal discussions, which is a valid concern; but it's a shame it sounds like it's questioning the empathy of many of its readers.

Forgot to say: this is a really nice idea, I hope it works well.

They're just so rare that the difference between ~6h rebuilds with 4T spindles versus 15h rebuilds with 10T spindles simply doesn't matter. Any homeopathic advantage of slightly faster rebuilds is dwarfed by the benefits of higher density (less hardware per capacity).

Burnout and exhaustion are a mental health issues?

I though they were more of a problem with prioritizing things in your life.

Edit: I have suffered from both of these things myself, and I never considered myself to have mental health problems. In my case it was (still is) a case of taking a step back and re-prioritizing things. Apparently I shouldn't tell myself that?
More palatable to investors, probably. It's harder to turn around and sell out when you've just been offering "open source" rather than truly free software.

They rather miss the point though, if they're concerned about democracy and politics.

Taste is very subjective. It's about the manifestation of taste. You might like the feel of a silver plated, rhodium-coated Varius carbon Caran d'Arche. You might love the graceful swirls and curves it can produce. With brown ink from Montblanc.

Game Changer
Programs = Data Structures + Algorithms, and it is often the case that there are deep relationships between the data structures and the algorithms.

For example, any linear recursive algorithm that deals with the head of a list and the tail/rest/butHead of a list is optimized for a linked list implementation. So... to understand a linked list, you really need to be familiar with algorithms that bisect list sin this manner, and the reverse: To understand algorithms that bisect lists in this manner, you have to be familiar with a linked list.

So... Yes it’s a data structure, but it’s joined at the hip to the algorithms that operate best on it.

>The 'statute of limitations' for a crime needs to be much longer than the crime's potential maximum sentence.

No, they need to be set based on how far back the evidence can hold and how well someone can make a reasonable defense. Especially in cases that have begun leaning towards guilty until proven innocent.

I met the SQLite architect's parents a few years ago. My wife was a member of their church many years ago, and they had invited us to a function at their house right before we married. I didn't know who they were at the time, but in a conversation over dinner the father was asked what his son did for a living, and he said something like "You know that cellphone you carry? My son wrote an important program that manages the databases it runs on." I asked if he was talking about SQLite and he said that yes, that was the program. Turned out there were a few other people there who knew about SQLite so we had a bit of a geek out for the rest of the night, discussing FOSS, SQL, mobile development, and so on.

Information is pretty much freely available to everyone already. The value of that information, however, has dropped to near-zero from the point of view of uninitiated - as various groups with agendas publish lies which then get regurgitated by clueless people, we have enough freely available information on any topic to confirm any biases you started with.

So for example, you love GMOs because they're cool and futuristic. So here, read that study on this new plant that is safe and abundant in vitamins and can save a million of children a year from blindness. Or maybe, you hate GMOs because they're unnatural and a product of humans messing up with what God has perfectly made - ok, here, have those 10 papers that have words "GMO", "rats" and "cancer" in them.

What we need is a system that doesn't incentivize people to lie and cheat as much as the current does.
I guess you didn't read the part about "have problems understanding other people's"? It seems like we need more awareness of mental health because (young) men are too emotionally stunted to relate to other people's problems.

Yes, it's also nice that they acknowledge that men sometimes have issues that they don't feel like they can tell other people about.

EDIT: Though strictly speaking there is a difference between "not being good at acknowledging your own problems" and "not being able to acknowledge your own problems because of societal factors". So I'm still not totally sure what they mean.
