Strangely, I think this is a case of "this is something that is going to be done eventually by someone somewhere, so it might as well us".

I think "negative life events" are more of a symptom than a cause. Temporary grief over loss or other genuinely bad things happening in life is normal in healthy people. What's so different about depression is that the patient seems to feel bad without a clear cause. You hear them going on about things that to a healthy person don't seem like such a big deal, or easy to fix, or so long ago a healthy person would have been over it by now. It's more a sign of the depressed brain trying to rationalize why it feels bad, and looking for outside causes to blame.

> but the complexity of C++ is troubling.

It's a multipurpose, statically compiled and standardized language. I don't think its complexity is a problem. Simplicity in a industrial level language like C++ can't really be expected.

I'd say C++ is a for a multitude of uses, it allows to do things precisely and well, but it has a cost, the one of learning how to use it.

1) There are many other alternatives than C++ that will cover a lot of use-cases. You don't always "need" to use C++, unless you have precise needs all the time, or don't want to have another language interact with your code.

2) You can still use C++ and avoid complex features, or just use C.

3) The language keeps evolving, and I think it's great that companies are working towards an ISO standard. Few languages have that. Maybe the language will be a little easier to use in the future.

> Is there ad blocker that only blocks the annoying ads, not the ones that we deem "OK?" Or do we just use the actions of the few to punish all ad-supported platforms?

That is one of the many personal project ideas that I hope to one day have time to try implement, though from a slightly different direction: a browser ad-on that doesn't block the bad behaviour itself but instead warns me about it beforehand so I can make an informed choice between clicking that link, making a little effort to find the same information elsewhere (for some content like news this is very easy, some content is genuinely unique to a given site though), or just not bothering because it would have been a reflex click anyway and the half second thinking is enough to decide I've got better things to be getting on with.

The thought came to me in a discussion with a contact who used some iffy practices on his site. "If you don't want my adverts and pop-unders, don't come to my site" he said, and I thought that was rather a good idea!

It would warn about a range of things, configurable per-user as some are more sensitive than I and some are more easily irritated: starting with obvious malicious content (like drive-by install attempts), pop-unders, pop-ups, pop-overs, pay-walls, ... I could always still click the link of course, but it would be an informed choice.

Of course there are significant things to deal with in such a venture: to populate the database of stuff to warn about it would either have to enlist the public userbase as informers or perform some form of pro-active scanning & indexing (or both) - this would be prone to both abuse and technical difficulties - and the warning would need to be both unobtrusive (not breaking the pages containing links to thinks it want to warn about) yet still visible.

Nitrious is the great solution to work with unix box, using it for months now and it really hides the pain of managing and setting the environment for Rails app development.

Yes, sounds like the advertisement but I am comparing to literally days spent on setting up the environment for Rails development on Windows and Ubuntu and my experience with Nitrious where it was like just minutes to get up and running.

Many countries (including Israel, where I live) have tax treaties with the US. You still need to file US taxes every year, but any money you pay toward your country of residence counts toward your American taxes, up to a certain ceiling.

The fact that US income tax is lower than those in most other countries means that such people will almost never paying any actual tax -- and, believe it or not, are even entitled to a tax refund from the US government.

So yes, it's a pain that the US makes me file tax forms every year. Or more realistically, the US makes me pay an accountant to handle this for me. But the odds of my having to pay income tax to the US are pretty slim, until/unless I'm making a ton of money, in which case I'm sure that my accountant will think of new clever ways to avoid doing so.

For comparison, when asked in the UK Parliament, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs gave an estimate for the number of British nationals living abroad of around 13 million people. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/v...

Which given the UK population of 64 million, is a massive diaspora and completely dwarfs the 7.5 million foreign-born residents in the UK.

edit - these figures led me to the sobering conclusion that here in the UK we should really be keeping quiet about immigration and hope nobody notices

I think the objection is that b may get passed throughout the program such that it's no longer local to a. Then you have 'const Foo& a' that you expect will never change, but your function reading from that calls something that mutates a 'Foo* b' that aliases the object (probably through a member variable), and suddenly you have some very hard to track down bugs. If you're multi-threaded, you have a data race.

You either need to be very strict about creating non-const references to objects, or you need to enforce immutability at the class level. Unfortunately the latter has all sorts of other practical problems, often including efficiency trade-offs or awkward APIs.

FWIW, Modula-2 and Oberon had quite a following on the Amiga back in the day.

There were whole Public Domain disk collections that only consisted of programs done in those languages. Most notably the AMOK disks (Amiga Modula-2 and Oberon Klub).

I think those languages also didn't catch on was partly because they weren't part of any major OS development standard. On Unix or Linux, C was dominant, for historical and cultural reasons, and on Windows, although there was and is a small but vocal Pascal community, most developers are focused on Microsoft's own programming languages.

Most of the time `const` is only needed for the caller to ensure that the object won't get changed when passed to another function.

In addition, to enforce immutability in C++, you have to disable copy/move constructors and assignment operators, which removes much benefit of using values instead of references.
That's often true within dynamically typed languages, but statically typed languages definitely don't feel Lispy. Moreover, messing with static type systems involves much more maths than hacking.

Actually book writing is booming business these days as long as books are meant for general audience. Tim Ferriss, for example, has made more than $3M from his books. E L James reportedly made $100 million from Fifty Shades of Grey. There are many other authors in the millionair list purely from writing books. The reason this is happening now more than before is because of cheap electronic version of book that can be downloaded on phones and tablets on more than 150M devices in US alone. Previously carrying around hard copies meant you need to be serious book lover. Now all the friction and weight is gone and books are more in line with TV entertainment instead of something meant for people wearing glasses. In addition publishers and authors are figuring out how to make books viral. If your book indeed gets viral, you can bet 1% of this population to buy it which immediately translates to $1M-3M. Adding translated editions and international markets would double your revenues.

However this generally doesn't apply to tech books because number of programmers are just around 10 million and if you estimate 1% will buy your book (best case) you will still top out $300K range @ 10% royalty. Even worse, technology will change in next 2-3 years and your royalties would dry up quickly. Most "full time" tech book writers run training consulting business and do conferences as main source of income.

problem with this soln can be seen in exchanges' auction sessions: sessions of several minutes/hours during which orders only net at the end. with visible orderbook this does not avoid the problem of spoofing or eliminate the value of speed. with invisible orderbook there is still benefit in placing trades right at the last moment before the netting because you continue to accrue micromkt information from continuously trading markets and economic info from the real world throughout the netting session. and if you want to make all exchanges in all locations of the world net at the same exact moment, this is a Hard Problem.

> The serotonin hypothesis is probably wrong

The serotonin is one possible cause. It sounds like you are suggesting that SSRIs are incorrectly used as a universal treatment, which I'd agree with completely.

I think it's important to distinguish between depression and sadness. I've noticed a very sharp increase in the amount of people (especially youth) who claim to be depressed. They go to a doctor, get a SSRI prescription and next thing you know their brain has a dependency on SSRIs to maintain normal serotonin levels (they are now actually depressed). This is why this is important:

> talking therapy or a talking therapy and a medication combined.

I was clinically depressed for the longest time. Turns out it wasn't caused by serotonin but instead a genetic mutation[1] that something like 80% of human samples have. It can results in a condition is called homocystinuria. In layman terms your body is unable to activate (turn into usable form) one of the forms of Vitamin B. Unsurprisingly the symptoms 5-MTHF (the activated Vitamin B) deficiency can be strikingly similar to depression.

My fix for depression is to simply take a vitamin for the rest of my life. I'm just lucky that the doctors I went to cared enough to not default to the SSRI prescription.
