Change the variables: you can be unhappy in a town doing a job because you haven't got any friends in that town (e.g. colleagues could be a lot older or at a different stage of life to you and therefore not able to be the friend material you need, e.g. to go out on the town with, no time after work to do anything else).

If you move town for a new job then you can find yourself with some initial difficulties to make friends, but, after a brief settling in period you can have a life outside work with a scene etc. This has a lot to do with where you end up living. Just one or two new friends that welcome you in to whatever they are doing can make all the difference.

It is not necessary to take on a career advancing job for such a move. You can move sideways from programming to helpdesk. There are rewards of job satisfaction if you can help people, you can go home with nothing hanging over you, your shift is done. Plus actual shifts, e.g. an afternoon to evening shift, that might help.

On the helpdesk you are learning and there is promotion if you are good to team lead and that might be enough for you. You can go back to programming with a few more strings to your bow. Compared to your peers you will be much more customer focused due to the helpdesk experience, which would become a retrospectively made positive career choice.

Obviously there are other sideways moves you could make, that depends on you and what you can do. Maybe you have an 'angle', e.g. science, or an industry, to make that easier. If you start over in some new town you will meet some new people to live and work with. There is luck in the draw, but how else are things going to change? You could meet someone in the workplace that mentors you, you could get a housemate that shares a few of your interests and welcomes you into his/her social circle. You might find yourself participating in awesome banter, you might find people appreciate your work, who knows, could happen, and that sort of stuff is probably the best cure for depression.

The above could go wrong, or need to be kept on track. Sometimes a secondary house move might be needed in the new job so look for somewhere temporary that is adequate for initial purposes (e.g. saving money, meeting people, proximity) with a view to moving somewhere else, 'more you', when settled in. You will also have to be very committed to making the new job work, there is no time for depression if you have to do that.

It is actually quite hard logistically to start in a new job in a new town but there is satisfaction in surviving that. You will need to interact with people courteously because you don't have all the things you need when you first get there. If it all goes well then it will be fun and you will wonder how you ever were on that pill taking abyss, desperately seeking advice. Accomplishment + achievement = happiness.

I've read quite a bit about this story so this article doesn't really add much that is new. However, there is an interesting note towards the end that fintech is a $12bn market. They link this Accenture report: http://fsblog.accenture.com/capital-markets/wp-content/uploa...
I was thinking the same, all round their snooze feature misses edge cases often. It's a solid and smart set of defaults, but it could certainly be improved. For one, if I get an email with a schedule (say a train ticket) I have to go to Gmail then add it to the calendar. It'd be way smoother to just snooze until the day mentioned, and they could presumably use the same stuff Gmail uses to extract calendar events to do so.

BTW I think the idea of the current snooze someday is to save it in snooze instead of done without setting a reminder because it's easier to find stuff there. It's lower friction than using a different app but I doubt it'll scale well to many saved things.

Really I just hope Google have a plan to bring these things together, I think the inbox and Google now reminders are linked, but the keep ones aren't? And Gmail makes calendar events instead, it's all a bit messy.
Did you read the article? It largely describes how he went from a small hackathon to a large hackathon to a YC hackathon to being accepted to YC.

Three distinct "hacks" in a row. Do you object to the word "hack" being used to describe the work that occurs at a hackathon, or are you just being argumentative because you prefer a different meaning?
Or they're trying to bolster sales of their warranty initative: Apple Care
My 2011 11" Air (i7) runs 10.10 just fine. I haven't noticed any slowdown over the past 4 years, although I do disable all the unnecessary transparency and animations Apple keeps adding for seemingly no reason.

By the way, my battery health is also around 85% after 500 cycles and being plugged in and charged to 100% whenever possible.
Okay we do the legwork and track him down. He's an Indian national using a stolen or prepaid credit card in Mumbai and using voip.ms or flowroute or whoever just needs a CC to get started. He has long left this service and gone to another by the time you "catch" him. He's made millions of calls since.
Starting a Business Blog: Mistakes Companies Make on Corporate Blogs
To make that a little clearer:

'Bipolar' is a condition with depressive and manic states. Low lows, and high highs.

'Bipolar Type 2' is a condition with depressive and hypomanic states. Low lows, and just feeling particularly good. People who experience hypomania without depression often don't complain about it / see it as a problem.
You're claiming there is a skill set or intuitive understanding that can't be learned once you pass age 21?
We have a monthly hackathon locally and I always get so incredibly frustrated when there are only a few groups hacking and a bunch of people standing around bullshitting. It's even more frustrating when one of those groups win with something they brought from home. :(
I guess the catch-22 came into being because A was at some point bootstrapped from some other system that was since replaced by B or C.

I don't think it's really just a question of spending money. IMO, direct student level spending on the average student is far more useful than supporting a large bureaucracy, constant tests, or extreme accommodation of special needs students. There are also regional differences in direct costs.

As a first order approximation around 15k/student in major metro areas and at least 75% on direct classroom spending which is less than NY, but well above CA costs. (AKA band, sports, standardized tests, and super attendant salary’s not in that 75%.)

PS: The highschool graduation rates are rising which is a good sign. But, a lot of students still drop out. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/10/02/u-s-high-sch...
Support networks are pretty important, especially if you are financially vulnerable.
Ok, so I think we basically agree in principle. People can like or dislike people for any reason, when it comes to personal attraction. The reasons can be superficial, or otherwise, but in the end it doesn't matter and it's really no one's business --with perhaps the exception of parents while their progeny are underage, but even then it's questionable. So you think her abhorrence is stupid, fine, we agree she has the right to think her unchoice are ugly and undesirable. I'm sure there are just as many Han women who think whites, blacks, browns, etc., are disgusting, for whatever reason, who cares. They can observe any preference they want.
the comments on this are a fascinating read. who knew programmers had such a deep belief that their ability is rooted in almost magical notions of talent, art, creativity and is not just another skill you can learn.

it is definitely a satisfying notion to think of your activity as a consequence of a god given gift, rather than just a job, but as engineers i think we should do better than relying on anecdotes and beliefs to understand what it is we are doing it.
I guess it is an variant of the age old "live to work vs work to live".
It's specific to programming, but not exclusively to programming; there are a few other areas where "you haven't been doing this since you could walk? Too late to be truly good":

- Mathematics (at the extreme high levels)

- Musical composition

- Classical music performance

- Painting/Visual arts

- Speaking most languages

- Jedi Knight
To be fair, it looks at income, not debt or wealth, so the effects of student loans wouldn't matter (except, perhaps, in indirect ways)
You clearly haven't made any PSTN calls on Skype. If you're looking for higher sample rates, it's relatively easy to use a B channel to transport g.722, or even bond a couple together for 128k AAC/MP3/any other codec you'd like.

Not only do you not have to deal with the problems of internet routing, you aren't stuck with underwater sounding CELP codecs.

Anyway, if you're arguing voip should replace the PSTN, I'd hope you'd at least have something hinting it could be as reliable.
Totally agree.

But I think everyone (including the journalist in the first place) are missing the point again. The problem is, that "digital native" thing is absolutely meaningless. It's basically another ridiculous "ninja-rockstar" thing, in some sense. You can prove I'm not 20 years old, you can prove I am or am not qualified to do the job, you can prove I'm male/female, you can prove I'm white/black/dog/whale, whatever. But you can not prove I am or am not a "digital native". It's absolutely possible, that I never even saw a computer until the last week, and over the last week gained all the knowledge you want me to have, including all the historic background. In fact, without the strict definition what "digital native" is, all this discussion and job announcements containing this word are nonsense, and it seems that if somebody who cares would construct this definition, it would be unverifiable given the current information about the candidate and thus meaningless anyway.
The speech in the video is hardly understandable (at least for me). Is there a transcript anywhere?

Edit: You seriously think a comment asking for a transcript because the voice seems hard to understand deserves being down voted?
So are FB & Twitter & Pinterest, old-timer!
There's a massive difference between topic-centered, article-oriented forums and social-oriented "life walls", in which people are drawn to share their personal life and basically have an "online life hub".

One is centered around the topic, the other is centered around the person.
FWIW, Tim Berners Lee wasn't a "digital native" and he understood the web well enough to invent it.
Suggesting hallucinogenics for someone with a known mental health problem is irresponsible.

Therapeutic uses would be of known doses in tightly controlled situations - neither of which are available to OP.
Part of that is just gender.

Pinterest is aimed almost exclusively at women. You haven't heard of it because you're a dude and it's not marketed to you or your friends.

Hell, I'm enough of a tomboy that I don't really use it. I looked at it a year and a half ago when I first started transitioning to female because I heard that girls are supposed to like it, and I never got into it because it was all about fashion and shit that I have no interest in.

(OK, I did start getting into it in the last week or so... but I've mostly kept to the '80s/'90s nostalgia boards, which seems to be a much smaller part of the community than the fashion boards.)
Macbooks have also done this for, like, forever, but more with the top few percent than 10%-60%
Same here. I have no reason to dispute the expert who says Lithium-ion batteries "don't love 100%". Fine, but they don't seem to dislike it too much, either. So far I haven't had any batteries that didn't perform well when they were mostly plugged in, occasionally discharged in mobile use.

I see some similarities to, e.g., medical pronouncements that some particular food increases risk of cancer. It's easy to get alarmed, but there's a big difference between it increasing my likelihood of getting cancer by 0.05% and making cancer, say, (just to illustrate the point) 100 times more likely. The former I would likely ignore and the latter would probably make me give up the food instantly.
The Victorian era had the concept of "retire with competence". basically means building up a portfolio that one could live of the interest/rent/dividends from.

Problem is that it could barely work as long as the nation was a globe spanning empire.
Sure, that's called engineering, and applies to far more than just technology. Engineering is the practical application of science.
I said it hinges on it. There are other factors like defensive purchases (WhatsApp), interest rates, etc. that can also affect market cap. I wasn't talking about the definition of market cap.
Otherwise known as "broken".
Apple charges something like $120 for changing the battery out. Not worth the stress to micromanage that, really not. It’s never about $2000.
If part of the job requirement was being very familiar with AARP, the AARP newsletter would probably be a great place to post the ad.

Right?
I think often then have experience in programming, but in languages that don't map well to the "real world" of programming -- R, octave, matlab, etc. Those languages are also usually loaded with very helpful libraries to avoid having to do any nitty-gritty programming.
Could you clarify how you arrived at 84% battery health? After the command "ioreg -l -n AppleSmartBattery -r" I see DesignCapacity, but where does the other number (5629) come from? I'd like to compute battery health myself...
> vast majority of voip routes tend not to measure up to their circuit switched counterparts

Most VoIP calls are also carried as plain data traffic. Digital voice services, which are basically VoIP (VoLTE, AT&T U-verse, etc), properly differentiate between calls and data, so calls on these networks are going to be much more reliable than simply leasing a SIP trunk. Once reliability is in place, audio quality is certainly going to be better between compatible endpoints.
I understand hindsight is 20/20, but they should have been testing this alternative service, at least internally, with the other divisions, to see how well they could compete, if this thing caught on they could be somewhat ready. It's not that they need to predict the market, they should try for contingencies, what if that iaas does take off? Let's not get caught flat-footed.
How we do it is a little wonky. Our web app calls GET /login which returns a CSRF cookie and an anonymous session cookie and an object that says there's no active session. The app then uses that CSRF token to POST to /login. Once the auth is successful, the anonymous session is destroyed and a new CSRF secret is generated on the authenticated session.

Adding reasons as a label to the citation link in the dependency graph would be very useful.

Even if I didn't care about privacy (I do), I just hate those freaking auto-playing flash ads.

Everyone can appreciate how annoying they are.
I just tried this out on Sandstorm. I have to be honest in that I didn't like the interface. I can only upload one file at a time. I'm looking for an app that can replace G+ photos / posts (but private rather than public). I need to be able to upload thousands of photos and videos.

I also tried out Lychee on Sandstorm as well. Whilst that can upload multiple files at once, you can't organise multiple files at the same time.

OpenPhoto looked like a good option, but I had some real struggles trying to get it to work on a Ubuntu server on Digital Ocean. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I got some really weird errors that I couldn't get to the bottom of.

The best photo / blog app I've come across is embedded in my Synology NAS system. It's awesome, but without a fibre connection you just can't host photos and videos on a residential internet connection (although that would be the perfect solution).
Does this have anything at all to do with the Aleynikov case? A great deal of effort was expended on both sides to establish that he did not merely take "tainted" open source code. Are you considering hypotheticals here, or is this stuff you've actually learned from the facts of the case?
I think it's a mistake to keep harping on Almonds. California produces so much of the world's supply that ceasing production here would be hugely disruptive. Beef and Dairy, on the other hand, are produced in areas with far more available water. California could stop producing livestock and the world (and the state) would, for the most part, shrug and go about their normal business.

Almonds get so much attention, but if you look at the amount of water necessary to produce almond milk vs the amount of water necessary to produce cow's milk, almonds start to look at lot more attractive.
Same issue here.

I'd argue that the BBS is the earliest form of social media (or one of the earliest, at least).
I don't have a problem with companies that have a work-for-hire clause, but I do get a little jumpy around ones that have an "anything you do, even at home, still belongs to us" clause.
Science doesn't solve problems in that sense, Darwin didn't solve the evolution question, he proposed a successful theory to explain it and that core idea remains true though modern biologists have gone much further than Darwin ever could as his time was before DNA. To use the word solved just wouldn't be correct in any sense of the word.
a) Half-life of technologies is very short.

b) Instead of 10 years experience, maybe someone has 10x 1-year experience.

c) To learn theory, data structures, etc maybe university/company provides a better environment than your PSTN connection on the internet (at least that's what we had when I was 12).

d) When you get hired in a new environment, almost certainly you will face a codebase that you were not aware of. What mostly matters is your ability to generalize your experience.

Because of at least (a) - (d), the condition in the first part of your if statement, does not necessarily imply the second part.

Regarding exercise, just do something that's slightly more than what you're doing now. You don't have to go running or go to the gym if you don't feel like it.

Start small. Just get up right now and go for a walk around the neighborhood.

Just curious, is this for fun, or is the goal to compete with clojure/scala etc?
I think the point of the statement was to show it was a ability issue because knowledge can be acquired and presumably abilities cannot. So the second time the friend asked for help with the same issues it should not have have happened if missing knowledge were the only issue.

I was not there and my opinion on this issue is complex, so I will just step out now.
You are right about Android and Xerox's GUI.
(There were others who were thinking in a similar direction (Openmoko for one), and I would argue that both of these things would have happened anyway. But Apple definitely moved the state of the world forward.)

However, my larger point is that Apple produces things of only one color -- things that you can exchange over the counter against money. Black box objects that are essentially consumer electronics -- things that die in 2, 4, 7, whatever years.

Contrast that with most other tech companies. Even if I don't care a whit about what they sell (witness IBM, Microsoft, Facebook -- I don't use any of their products directly) -- I (and the world) profit from their research and that gives them greater longevity than Apple.

So to correct what I said -- admired but not long term influential.

Interesting command. IMO not force pushing to master is a good rule of thumb... Changing master's history should definitely not be part of your workflow. (and is going to cause problems.)
Describing Canonicity as a problem that that needs 'hacks' to work around seems a little disingenuous.
This is ideology speaking, not experience. Whether you want to call a person tone-deaf or just 90% tone-deaf is somewhat irrelevant. A whole lot of people will never be able to learn to play an instrument no matter what they do.
It'd be nice if the battery controller/charger had the intelligence to make these optimizations transparent to the end user. So present them with 100% or whatever, but in actuality, the battery is at 90%, most of the time it's plugged in, and so on.
Yosemite is a total mess, but it has gotten slightly better with 10.10.3 (if you are willing to ignore the Photos app, which launches constantly for no reason).

If you are willing to mess with drivers, you may want to try installing Linux. On a 2013 Air, battery life and performance (even graphics!) are surprisingly better with Debian Jessie than with OS X. Of course, it is a newer model than yours, but the drivers will only be more stable and mature with a 2011. Especially if you have 4 GB RAM and you're running into a memory barrier with OS X, you should see a significant improvement.
Me, as I read the article to the bottom: http://gunshowcomic.com/comics/20130109.png
This - that it's extremely rare to even be able to think the right things to produce maintainable code at that age - is why I've long thought that 12-15 is the right age to teach assembly language.

At that age, your code is going to be a mess no matter what tools you use, so you might as well have an excuse.

(Seriously: there's some brain development that doesn't happen until the close of puberty, and I believe that some of that is necessary for most people to plan and write maintainable code)

> You clearly haven't made any PSTN calls on Skype.

I did, and the reason some calls sound horrible, is because Skype is trying to save up some money hiring shitty carriers/providers.

> it's relatively easy to use a B channel to transport g.722

Why would you use an HD codec to transcode to G711? Call on any direction can sound only as good as G711.

> Anyway, if you're arguing voip should replace the PSTN, I'd hope you'd at least have something hinting it could be as reliable.

I agree with most of your arguments. VoIP isn't ready now, but it will be soon. Just remember how the Internet was 10 years ago, and how it is today.
He's just dividing the current battery capacity by the 'new' battery capacity. You can just let a program like Coconut Battery do it for you.
