For those experiencing everything from mild depression to strong suicidal thoughts, I'd recommend the combination of cognitive behavioural therapy, if you can afford a therapist, and this book:

"Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy" by David Burns.

Depression and suicidal thoughts are often rooted in twisted, invalid logic that we don't recognize as such. For example, say that a stranger unexpectedly smiles at you. It would be logical to smile back, and perhaps even strike up a conversation to ask why they're smiling at you. The reasons are probably good. Maybe they're attracted to you. Maybe they just randomly thought of something funny. The risks of speaking to that person are minimal. A twisted, illogical reaction that many of us naturally have is to assume the person is smiling at our expense and that there's something we don't know. We fear what the person will do or say if we do anything to acknowledge their smile. Instead of smiling back, we retreat inwards, wondering what's wrong with us, why we're so pathetic, anti-social, etc.. Two people can experience the same event in wildly differing ways because of how they process them. For someone who is depressed, events that should be good can easily add to their problems.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on catching those thoughts, identifying them as illogical, and deliberately countering them until the thought pattern in a given circumstance becomes naturally logical. In the situation above, you would need to recognize that you're assuming a lot about what the other person is thinking, recognize that the worst that can happen from striking up a conversation or just smiling back is not very bad, and that the potential gains could be very good. I had a fairly low opinion of most psychology until I came across this. It's actually helpful.

What issues in particular did you have with PDFs on the Kindle? If it was the low resolution for images and such, the Paperwhite and Voyage have higher DPI displays (212 and 300, respectively, versus the original Kindle's 167).

I've had some issues with PDF rendering on my Paperwhite also, but I've usually been able to convert them into a more readable form with Calibre.
"No other business over the past 15 years has died off with the near-totality of the all-American photo shop."

I wonder if any other business has both fallen and risen so quickly. These things were in nearly every strip mall parking lot in the 70s (well, one day shops, not one hour). So in the space of about 40 years they went from non-existent to everywhere back to (practically) non-existent.

A bit of a nit-pick, but what the article speaks of most of all are the one-day shops, not "one hour photo" shops. Article refers to Fotomat, and even pictures a Fotomat, but were one to take photos to a Fotomat they'll be done tomorrow and not an hour. One-hour processing required on-site equipment. Look at the picture of the Fotomat: there's not even a bathroom in there, let alone a photo lab.
A doctor (internist in primary care) friend told me once how he was glad he wasn't a heart surgeon (of some specialty that I don't recall). He said that surgeon in that specialty simply does one type of surgery all the time, as ordered by some other doctors. As far as he could tell, that surgeon did not have to do much mental work, but was rather like a technician.

I wonder when work of doctor (diagnosing a disease) will be handled by a computer. I'd say in 100 years?
I think that this particular issue is very sensitive, and very personal, and very individualized. Indeed, sometimes a reminder of the ties we have to the living world is a good thing at any time. For some, thinking of others and the impact their death might have on those around them is in fact enough to get them through a particularly bad spell.

I think that it's important to note that it's not a feeling of guilt that should be focused on here. It's a feeling of connection. There are people who care and can help if you reach out. There are people who care.

Of course it's not always enough. If it were, people would never commit suicide, would they?

There is a great deal to be said for holding on for others those times you can't hold on for yourself. After all, life is very much a series of highs and lows.. sometimes, you need to latch onto whatever you can to get you through the lows.
That's an interesting concept - testing the tests themselves.
I fell as you guys. I am very excited with technology since I started. There is so much new and interesting things to play and read that I have no time to do it all.

I can clearly that each year more and more interesting things appear. The speed is also increasing, in way I can't digest it all. It's difficult what to choose, to prioritize is the key to deal with it.

I always get myself wondering how much new things I will see next years.

I'm 30 now, and I started with 17.
I applied to full stack positions for mid to senior level. Some do go into technical questions, that's what the brush up is for, however they usually target exactly what was in their job description.

If you're an engineer I'm assuming you can usually fight your way through a problem they give you. A lot of places I interviewed seemed to do the same thing -> (man I have an interview, better google a few questions to ask them).

The important part is that you look at their job description, you will usually cover 75% of the interview preparing like that.

I read an article recently that said something to the effect that most people stop listening to new music at age 33. I kinda feel the same about programming. There are a lot of people still doing it, but not as many that are truly excited about learning new things.

When we bring on young people they have a ton of energy and are excited to try every new thing which, don't get me wrong, is awesome. But they do occasionally criticize me for moving too cautiously, even though I am plenty excited about trying new things. I always think to myself, call me back in about 15 years and we'll see whether you evolve into the rockstar that you envision yourself to be, or else if you stagnate, burn out, move onto something else, etc. I always hope they do become the rockstar.
This seems like a company destined to fail:

1) Massive premium for compute

2) They're at the mercy of Apple, a single completely unpredictable vendor.

3) Apple changes it's form-factors to the latest "design" way to frequently

4) Apple sucks to manage in mass

Given all of the effort spent to use Quartz's graphics operations, I was curious as to how they actually performed. I opened an account and tried out the upsampling, and was a bit disappointed.

http://chen.imgix.net/rose.png?w=560

What other upsamplers look like: https://github.com/haasn/mpvhq-upscalers/blob/master/Rose.md

Looking at the other operations available, I fail to see what is done better by Quartz than just by imagemagick.
There's also local storage. The SuperMicro box can host a lot more storage locally than the Mac Pros can do easily (you'd need external Thunderbolt2 drives), and it can make sense to run RAID-10 or something to get more speed.

What's wrong with wealth redistribution? Money is essentially a man-made concept anyway. We want to keep people alive, so this constraint is very well captured by giving a basic income to everyone, a social safety net.

Libertarian free market economics don't capture these constraints.
What about the thoughts of how much better people's lives would be without you. I've have too many nights where I've just sat there in the dark thinking how much better life would be for everyone around me if I wasn't here. I've gotten over it though medication and therapy and still chug along, cause frankly, I've got too much stuff _I_ want to accomplish before death. I guess this is why I don't have or want but a select few people that are close to me in my life.
The problem is that the flames are real and unavoidable, while the metaphorical flames of those commiting suicide could be some BS easily overcome and forgotten later, like the bad grades in TFA (a lot of the people commiting suicide do it starting with similar BS reasons, not because they are "medically depressed").

Besides, Wallace wouldn't be the best advisor on the matter.
I have some insight into how not to do it. :)

A few thoughts:

People don't move in and out of a city en-masse, so there are always old-timers who know the way around.

Two, even if you got a wiki version of this, most people would not read it. And it would be politicized -newcomers vs longtime residents.

Still, nice idea, I'd like it, I'd use it if I moved to a new city. But it'd be nice if the content had quality and some structure which one could expect from city to city.

Hope the post inspires someone to begin something like that.

The History of Sleep
OK so if you're from Google and you say Goigle is listening, here's a question I've never heard and answer to: how come Google has such terrible support for Python 3?
> Where does this $33 million magically come from (and reliably appear every single year)?

Let's be serious here. There's no magic about it.

Red Hat has 7300 employees (as of 2015) [1] and made $0.024 million per employee in 2014. Multiply by 1000 and you get $24.4 million. Maybe these scientists have a patent that does well and it covers the extra $9 million to get $30k per year. (Sidenote: that seems low for Red Hat. Wiki says Google does $0.25 million/employee, an order of magnitude higher.)

Edit: Actually, those figures are based on profit, not revenue... Revenue/employee at Google is ~$1.2 million.

Don't confuse basic income with not working.

When people don't have to think about survival they are free to think about the flying car. If anything, there should be a net increase in the rate of value creation.

I worked as a C and then C++ dev for a few years and then I started a Ph.D writing a C++ code base.

I remember the day that I got java 0.7 running on my spark 20. I would never touch the STL again, never have to worry about malloc and #def overwrites. No more gdb.

There's not much nice for c/c++ devs, pity them.
The point isn't that you can insulate yourself from the fads; the point is that you should spend your career-building time on fundamental skills acquisition, and pick up faddish frameworks and languages on a JIT basis. People who can write compilers generally aren't too intimidated by compile-to-JS languages.
Forget graphics card support, HDMI 2.0 cannot even support 4K at higher than 60FPS. Considering how important pushing higher frame rates is to reducing latency, that seems like a nonstarter.

Northern Virginia, yes they sometimes do. I got more of the language specific questions though. "In C# what's the difference between static and const."

When I interviewed google, they wanted me to code something up for them. In California, again I had mostly language specific questions. I did get more logic questions though. It varies from company to company.

Most engineers I talk with though, don't struggle with the problem solving. It's the soft skills and being able to confidently respond to typical questions that they had a hard time with. Easy fix if you do what I suggested.
Not that I condone treachery, but growing up my father used to have a famous line "Old age and treachery will beat out youth and enthusiasm any day". And although he wasn't a programmer, but rather an investigative thinker, his subtle manner of obtaining voluntary compliance seemed to win the day. Whilst not treachery in the blatant sense, there was allot to learn from this wisdom which is only gained from life experience. Would I have hired Doug, probably, but I think maybe I would have been better self-served being HIRED by Doug. My age - 43 and irrelevant IMO.
Don't most people on HN already do this? I do use Windows but my Lenovo machines always run some variant of Linux.
My co-host Venkat and I have been thinking about starting this for awhile. We often work as technical advisors to non-technical founders and have to answer many of the same questions over and over. Instead, we imagined a world where we could give these people the absolute best expert opinions on the things they really need to know to run a software business.

If you have any topics to suggest or advice on how to refine our questions, we're all ears! We've found it pretty challenging to bridge the technical/non-technical divide sometimes.
I am in the middle of these two groups. Often "Stay current", "It's different with modern ideas/methods", etc... Expressions commonly used by people who want to ignore the lessons that other people had to learn the hard way. Ironically claiming they claim the old person is out of touch. When in reality they are trying to prevent newbies from repeating the past.
Some information is hidden away in supplemental table 6, which points out candidate drugs to affect different biological pathways for different mutations.

You could also skim

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v406/n6797/full/406747a...

for more information about genomic classification of breast cancer.

From a treatment prespective, I would say that just glancing at http://ww5.komen.org/BreastCancer/SubtypesofBreastCancer.htm...

would provide information on treatment decisions generally made by finding appropriate subtype classifications.

I think that it is pretty clear that genomic sequencing of patient normal and tumor tissue to find mutations is going to be standard-of-care sooner rather than later, but it is fair to point out that genomic sequencing is not currently standard-of-care. However, I know of studies currently underway that look at variant calls and the possibility of taking action on those calls in ways the involve specifically adding those results back into the patient medical record.

I am struggling a bit with how to phrase this, but I don't think you can argue against (1) different subtypes of breast cancer are separate diseases and can be classified by genomic sequencing and (2) treatments for these separate diseases are different and have different efficacies.

I'm more surprised that they can use functional programming creatively at all, particularly in realtime. Although to be fair I have the same reaction to Processing.
It was not a statement about my personal feelings, but rather what I think the common perception is.
Also the world of genomics has done fantastic work on compression and if you can compress it further you will probably win a decent award with a ceremony and free booze.
I think the point is that it helped him. It might not work for you in your situation but it was the major trigger that stopped him doing it.
This might depend on country, but in most countries that have some consumer protection, replacing a hard disk and similar reasonable operations are considered to be normal use of the machine, and the consumer law says that the consumer may not be prevented from doing this.

When the customer is not a consumer but a company, then things might be different (companies may be able to give away their rights in a way that consumers may not).

In EU countries, a manufacturer may offer a warranty, but this is just supposed to be an extra service; the seller is at least required to provide defect liability (i.e. a device must fixed if broken when it is sold and it must last for a reasonable time in reasonable use).

I think Clojure is especially well suited for creative programming because the REPL-based workflow is very interactive and the language itself is so easy to mold and shape as you're exploring the problem domain. Composable functions plus macros means it's super easy to build custom abstractions and DSLs for what you're trying to do. Of course there are other languages that also support this to different extents, but Clojure and Lisp/Scheme family languages in general seem particularly well-suited for exploratory and creative programming because of the REPL, homoiconicity and macro system.
Does the rest of the article seem to resemble a state machine to you, or do you see an obvious way that the classes he wrote could be used to create a state machine? Because I do not.
I honestly apologize, in retrospect I think my analysis of the facts is spot on but I was a overly harsh and judgmental in commenting on those specific observations. For example I was absolutely correct in identifying them as part of "participation trophy culture" but I was absolutely incorrect about making fun of them for it. If they're having fun doing their thing and I'm having fun doing my thing thats OK. I'm generally very libertarian (small L) and that was pretty far out of character for me.

The extremely small number of game creators can result in restricted choices and frustration. I guess I've always got the indies, at least, even if dominant AAA style holds little appeal to me.
The software product was called MacCaption (http://www.cpcweb.com/download/MacCaptionBetaVerInfo.htm).

A process would drop a video file and a text file in a directory, and then a script would execute the MacCaption binary for each file with a list of parameters to get the result we wanted. A captioned video file, as well as a WebVTT caption file, would be the results of the process. Those were then put into another workflow for dissemination.

Straightforward, although MacCaption was a terrible product to work with. They're owned by Telestream now (www.telestream.net/captioning/compare.htm).

I was looking at some of the code for one of his projects that is a little node http server. I don't really know JS or node at all, but can someone explain this to me:

function secondsSince (when) {
var now = new Date ();
when = new Date (when);
return ((now - when) / 1000);
}

I'm assuming now returns seconds since some fixed point in time ( epoch ) when when someone passes in the 'when' argument, it must already be formatted a certain way, or node/js somehow managed to figure out the input? How would it deal with 5/8/2015 vs 8/5/2015

Or this is just a very case specific function and the input is already sanitized in a way that is prepared for this function?

Homebrew and pretty much anything else that lets the *NIX of OS X shine through.

Check out Github's tools as they seem to use OS X heavily.

Homebrew - http://brew.sh/

Also the ~/.osx dotfiles in this repo (https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles) are quite handy especially space order locking. That used to drive me mad.

Finally Amethyst (https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst) is still a lil buggy but so nice to have. If you want to go the 'more OS X route' check out BetterTouchTool instead.
Frontier was amazing. Outliner, language, IDE, object database, system and inter-application scripting. If I recall correctly, it was the first OSA scripting environment, even before AppleScript. Early to adapt to the web, Frontier became web server and provided the first through the web content management system I every used.

I'm someone who does not appear to be biologically predisposed to depression. I have attempted suicide (at age 17), I have been hospitalized for being suicidal (in my twenties) and I do still sometimes become suddenly suicidal.

I have a medical condition that sometimes suddenly and dramatically negatively impacts my brain chemistry. I also have a great many very serious problems that are hard to overcome. They aren't "easily overcome BS."

For some people, the metaphorical flames are a very serious matter. Not everyone has a cushy life where a bad grade is their biggest fear.
> (one reason why guns are a worse threat than other forms of suicide)

I come from a family of avid hunters and gun owners. I don't personally own a gun. Not because of any political reason but because I don't want the ability to pull the trigger when I'm in my darkest of moods. At least without that I have to think about it long enough to hopefully snap out of it. There are a handful of times if you would have handed me I gun I think I would have pulled the trigger... Then when I look back it seems silly but the cycle repeats. One time I simply couldn't find my car keys and almost rage quite life. The car was in the shop.
Just have to say how encouraging this thread has been. I'm 37 and have been thinking about what my career looks like when I'm "old" :-) Thanks for giving us relative rookies some hope.
I'm a great fan of Welles and I think politics took one of the great creative geniuses from us. As for workaholism, if you love what you are doing, you wouldn't want to do anything else. It's a global minima as opposed to being a local manima and one needs effort to move from there.
