It was hard at times: when you hit a slump you want to stay in that slump - it was hard fighting my way out, but it can be done.

"Stop and smell the roses." Take the time to notice the beauty in things around you: both nature and concrete. I'm talking about the most sublime things. I first noticed it one night when I was driving home - the lights were reflecting off this dirty little dam of no significance, but for some reason I noticed it and for some reason it was beautiful. For a very long time after that I would make a point of noticing that little spot every day on the way home. Out of that habit I then started noticing more and more things. When you become depressed use that happy place as an anchor and hold onto it.

I realized that I used to think the same way as a kid: everything in the world was wondrous and happy - I think everyone forgets how to see the world that way. Re-learn that mindset.

Be very respectful toward alcohol, cannabis and caffeine. Too much of any will set you back.

Finally, something like 80% of the human race has a 5-MTHF deficiency (for genetic reasons, Google it). It presents as vitamin B deficiency and is therefore often misdiagnosed as depression and some learning disabilities (including trouble concentrating). If you can't get it from a chemist (I can't, 3rd world too) check herbal/homeopathy stores (which is how I get it). Speak to your doctor before taking it and ask for advice, you'll need to take it for quite a while before you start noticing a difference - 2 to 4 weeks at least.

Believe in yourself because I believe in you, I know you can do it. If at all possible get meds.
>Then there's also the job stability issue as well; who wants to buy a house or start a family when you don't know you'll be somewhere for years?

I can't help but feel that you're describing some mythical ideal that never really existed for most people. Yes, for a long time, a lot of manufacturing jobs were pretty stable and people worked for IBM for a long time. But, even in that case, even if the jobs were stable, people tended to move around the company a lot. The military, which has always been a large employer, is an even more extreme example of jobs being relatively stable but mobile.

By the way, according to this Economist article from a couple years back, US workforce mobility has actually gone down significantly to a degree not explained by demographics: http://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2012/07/labour-m...

>Also with many family units having two workers, what happens when one doesn't have a job?

And what happened when there was more typically one worker and he (the common case) lost his job?
Well, it's certainly not a sales pitch anymore, given the brilliant customer support on display here.
The opposite has been the case, though, in practice: When using MIT-licensed software that's popular, proprietary software companies have been happy to contribute back upstream, because it reduces their maintenance requirements.

And since when does a for-pay piece of software eclipse the original free version in popularity? If it did happen, then I'd assert that the "proprietary company" must have done a lot of work to make that possible. In that unlikely case, they must have invested a nontrivial amount in the creation of a powerful tool, and they deserve the profits it generates.

A far more likely scenario is that a proprietary company forks an MIT-licensed project, does something creative with it, sells it to a few people, and then the open-source community would copy the cool features and add them to the MIT project. The actual code to a new feature is typically not as hard to create as the design of the feature, which has already been done by our hypothetical proprietary company. Then the company will need to innovate again to stay relevant, and the free project can copy those features as well.

A healthy ecosystem can include some companies that don't share. It's all part of the network effect. If you can cite any situation where a community surrounding a free software library or other product has been killed or even harmed by a piece of proprietary software that is based on the same code, then you might have a point, but I don't think it's happened.

It DOES happen that proprietary software runs circles around the equivalent free software (Adobe Photoshop, for instance), but that's not because the for-pay software is stealing free code. It's because when you have hundreds of full-time developers you can produce a lot more than the same number of people can do in their spare time. And when those full-time paid developers can contribute to open source (as is frequently the case with MIT/BSD licensed projects), those open source projects flourish as well. Again, see LLVM/Clang.

Your argument is circular.

You're saying that we shouldn't talk about pay, because when we talk about pay we get paid like Buffer devs do, which you think is obviously low compared to other salaries, which we can't actually prove because we don't talk about pay.

It's a bit like telling someone that you're giving them $100 in a box, but not to open the box, because if you open it, it'll turn into $20. "You can only have a high salary if you have no way to verify that it's high." Even if true, where does that leave us?
Assuming the folks behind Brassring are remotely competent at software development, they shouldn't be passing plaintext security question answers to the portal admins.
(assuming there's not a link in the email directing you to a much phishier location)

Thinking outside the box a little, have you made critical remarks about the military industrial complex, working under security clearances or the stupidity of the F-35 in front of a friend that might think it was funny to create or sign you up for a "job offer" from Lockheed Martin?

Coincidences happen as well... I once had to make sales calls to a firm which turned out to be run by the only living person I'm aware of that shares my name. I get sporadic emails informing me that my takeaway order will be delivered soon to somebody living in the same area and having similar tastes in takeaway food to my late grandparents too.
Not going to non-standard site ? I never ever go to site which its developer put ads every where he/she liked.

I have very restricted list of sites which I think are good enough my attention and time.

p.s. and I spend 7 8 hour a day sitting and reading material and documents from net.

p.s-2. And I am okey with standard ads.Site owners has right to make living to, and I think using ads-blocker is selfish act.

If white people want to use that word in that (or, basically, any) context, maybe they should start working towards systematically dismantling the apparatus of racism in this country and then check back in twenty years.
As I understand it this will log all passwords anyone enters -- even correct ones. This seems like a terrible idea, or at the very least should be used only after careful consideration. Even logging incorrect passwords is a bad idea, due to slight typos by legitimate users.
Get enough sleep and physical activity.

In my experience the brain follows the body. An active mind is generated by an active body. Likewise a sleepy and listless mind can be created easily.
I really appreciate your feedback and of course we have studied a lot of what worked (and mostly, didn't work) in systems biology over the past decade, but the field has shifted dramatically since 2004. A lot more data is available, and experiments are designed much more carefully nowadays. In fact, the thing we worry about most is that the field still isn't rigorous enough and the quality of the data still isn't good enough to translate into druggable targets. And we don't intend to belittle the work of scientists who really laid the foundation for what we are trying to do today, but surprisingly few of the big pharma companies we talked to have active systems biology programs for neurological diseases (we have also learned about others, like at Janssen, that are just getting started). I think it's not a question of if systems biology will lead to new therapies, but rather when the methods and field are mature enough.

Also regarding articles, please email me at jason@vergegenomics.com and I will send you PDF versions to read.

A1. First, if you are from Russia — run ASAP. It will never get better. I did 4 years ago, never had anything resembling depression since that.

A2. If your country is OK (e.g. suicide rate there is less than 15 per 100000 people per year), I think you need to search for the intersection between things you have passion for, and things that are paid well. After you will find that intersection, I think you will get better. You see, when you was a kid, just following your passion was enough for happiness. In the adult world, however, you also need some financial independence for that.

A3. There are other things, like alcoholism or herbal medicine, but I generally do not recommend those to young people.
Yeah, I know what you're saying here, and I don't disagree. I only disagree with the comment that they aren't "doing something new". It's sufficient to do some old thing better in some way that matters to existing customers -- and that's an implementation detail that will never come out of a TechCrunch press release.
A few years ago, I was quite surprised by the number of younger co-workers who lived in the city instead of the burbs.

Anyway, it didn't last. In every case except one (confirmed bachelor), they moved out to the burbs as soon as they our spouse got mugged or were going to have kids and realized they needed to be in a district with decent schools.
As great as Edge is in the benchmarks, the engine beneath seems to be solid, the browser is shipping in a half-completed state. The lack of support for extensions I think is going to do more harm than good. I don't get the rush to release Edge, wouldn't it have been better for Microsoft to just hold off a couple of more months until the browser was ready feature wise?

I haven't been using the Windows 10 development builds, so I have yet to use Edge. As a front-end developer, I am excited we are getting a browser that seemingly supports all of the essentials (and prefixless too).

Yes - School quality and mass transportation were the defining variables in my apartment acquisition. Had I not had to worry about schooling, there are plenty of lively "bad" places where I would have been very happy for much less money - and the potential for speculative gain would have been greater.
If you are certain that you can go back to uni anytime and finish your degree then I don't really see why you shouldn't go for the job. Degrees matter if you don't have a lot of experience (something like less than 5 years) in the industry you are trying to work for. degrees might look like they don't matter much at the moment (because software engineers are in high demand) - but that can change quickly.
The difference between success and failure in biotech lead generation is finding a good lead.

That's something that is strongly influenced by luck. I can point to famous researchers who have made entire careers out of this sort of momentary serendipity, actually.
They are, and many cities have rules requiring restaurants to maintain publicly accessible bathrooms.
Rational wiki points out that it is vaugly possible they do work, although not by the mechanism claimed. if they were heavily coated with chemicals they might work... while possibly poisoning the pet they are being used on.
That line of reasoning the mother used isn't uncommon. I can date it back to at least '96 and know that line of reasoning existed well before then. [0]

My doctor (in the UK) strongly recommended 4 before 1 for several friends. I think only one used medication in the end.
The company I work for makes all salaries and bonuses visible to anyone in the firm.

Salaries are simple, there are only 3 bands of salaries.

Bonuses are based on the firm's and employee's performance as well as a multiplier based on how much salary they took. Smaller salary, larger bonus multiplier and visa versa.

The system works pretty well and I haven't noticed any negative consequences from having this information internally visible.

Maybe if we get above 100 people at some point this will break down?

Serious question to others... What's the downside of having your fellow team member's know your salary?
> The same people who don't want parents reading to their children because it gives that child an advantage over children who's parents don't have time to read to the child.

Er, the WND article you cite to support the existence of such people greatly distorts the ABC source article [0] it cites, where the quote it takes out of context is not supporting an argument that parents shouldn't read to the their children as it presents it (and, in fact, is a joke -- a "quip", in the words of the source -- made by the speaker before being followed by: "We should accept that lots of stuff that goes on in healthy families—and that our theory defends—will confer unfair advantage".)

The philosopher isn't arguing against parents reading to their children, he's discussing work he and a colleague are doing to construct a principled philosophical theory in favor of the family, including the particular activity that WND wants to miscast the article as presenting him as opposed to.

Its always a good idea to have some skepticism when reviewing a news report, and to follow through and check sources (especially when they are linked so it is nearly zero-effort to do so.)

Perhaps particularly with a site with as strong an ideological bent as WND posting something that fits so neatly into an ideological stereotype as that article.

Great, let's take 3 cases from the same company and use that to extrapolate how H1Bs are treated in the US.

I was an H1B too, and I was very well paid, it doesn't change the fact that the majority of H1Bs are used to underpay foreigners who won't complain by fear of being let go and sent back home in 24 hours.
We have been actively validating targets, and in fact Alice's PhD work was centered on performing the in vitro and in vivo validation experiments for computational drug leads. We aren't asking for people to believe in magic, and ultimately we hope that our preclinical experiments will reveal whether or not we have something.

I would not under estimate transportation costs.

Metro Vancouver recently did a study comparing affordability combining both housing and transportation costs. Once transportation was considered, Vancouver City proper dropped to one of the 3 most affordable Metro Vancouver cities, whereas outlying suburbs rose to least affordable. The gap in transportation costs between the cheapest and most expensive areas was several thousand dollars a year, possibly as high as $12k a year.

There often are multiple CAN buses (though there is a push to a single high speed bus) and the ECU (or BCM and so on) are supposed to make sure the commands are safe. In practice they often communicate with one another (manufactures want to sell features like remote start or use cheaper system such as electric parking brake) and the module does not do as much verification as it should.
I wouldn't be so fast about getting medicated. There are well known side effects. I don't think that is the solution, at least right now. I'm not sure about this obsession with getting medicated for every problem, honestly. If I got medicated for every issue I've had in my life, I would be in debt.

To answer to the original question, one of the easiest and potentially best solutions is to pick up an sport if you don't practice one and to spend more time with other things besides programming. Forget about programming for a few weeks. Do your college duties and don't spend more time than that. Go do other stuff. I've gone (and still do sometimes) through the exact same thing.
No worries, I was feeling a bit puckish.
Meditation has helped me more than anything else, maybe even therapy. For years I did it "wrong." You can meditate to train focus, and you can meditate to dive through the layers of the mind. What helped me is the latter. The former helps you get work done, but it actually either makes the depression worse, or cuts you off from the world.

I don't know what the quality and breadth of instruction is, where you are in the world, so YMMV.
As someone who always writes unit tests before any production code, I don't know how I would have the time to not write tests. It drives the design and reduces time debugging by a ridiculous amount. I work with information systems though, might be different for other fields.
> Surely there's a way to make this information read-only.

There absolutely is a way. Just off the top of my head you could relay the information from the high-sec CAN bus to a low-sec one with a micro-controller. So the low-sec bus can only receive messages from the high-sec one.

Not enabling firmware loading over CAN on the relay is a must as well for obvious reasons, but the key is the code on the relay microcontroller can be kept very simple (easier to audit/secure).
The fact that board members are also themselves either executives in the same or other firms, or likely to be employed as such in the future, means that board members also have a self-interest in the trend of rising executive salaries.
Interesting (to me) was that revenues for the same quarter in 2014 were $23.4 billion, or 5% higher. I don't follow MSFT that closely - read: almost not at all - but isn't it unusual for their revenues to fall?

What a bunch of hooey. Just 'deciding to be happy' is nonsense for someone with major depressive disorder (the medically accepted name of the disorder, as opposed to the term 'clinical depression', which people without experience tend to use...) I'm glad things worked out for you but this is not helpful advice for someone who is actually depressed. It's like telling someone who's short to just decide to be taller.
Sweet killbot!
I'm a 24 year old UI/UX designer who just left my non-trivial income. Think about it in these terms, you have 8 weeks to try something with YC or not. Maybe more maybe less. You'll probably easily find a job right after with the same amount of compensation and something new to add to your portfolio.

Many big companies also are fine if you take a non paid leave of absence. And you can come back later with the same compensation. This was offered at my company (although I didn't take it) and perhaps something you can work out with Facebook. Perhaps ask a trusted advisor, all my managers were thrilled that I wanted to work on something on my own. And that it was "the best reason to leave a company."
Cool. Well these are very basic samples. Would love to see how it handles bigger apps.

And as someone else asked, only OS X? is a windows or linux port on the roadmap sometimes soon?
Some of those Amazon reviews suggest that the tags only work when "fresh", which might support that theory. Still I expect confirmation bias is more likely.
For me it got to breaking point at my job. I quit and moved to a cheap country for a few months. Ditched the laptop and smartphone and just relaxed, exeecised, read and cooked. Diet and exercise played a huge part, but I couldn't have got them in order while being depressed and stressed out. Being stressed meant always taking on a bit more than I could unload, and that feeling of being at max capacity constantly lead to neglecting day to day tasks such as eating well, shaving, exercising, socialising. This feeds back into the stress and it all can get out of control so quickly.

I'd like to say that's the end of the story but I ran out of money and moved home and got another software job. At first I tried not to work too hard but stress slowly accumulated again. Soon after I felt that deflated feeling in my stomach every morning. I do yoga, run and cycle which is a huge help but it goes through phases and is really the prevention, not the cure. I'm convinced now that I need a radical permanent change to stop slipping into burnout and depression. I love programming but 40 hours a week kills me. Your circumstances may differ but its good to examine if prolonged stress is at the core.

I'm not sure how they are scoring but FPS is the wrong measure for perf in WebGL. The browser locks the refresh rate to the monitor refresh rate, usually 60hz. Rather than FPS you need to measure the amount of work you can do before the framerate drops.
Yes, there have been numerous times when security researchers show video and then the peanut gallery argues if it was staged or not. There is just no way to be sure otherwise.
YC doesn't provide advice about this in a systematic way, but we have been trying to learn how to engage the lay public mostly from talking to other YC founders. It's hard to communicate the exact details that we want to share, but I hope that the spirit of our ideas comes across clearly.
The value of the stuff in your house is almost certainly in the same band as everyone else on the block.
Yeah...for me, unit tests are the gift that you give to the developer who will be maintaining and improving the code 6 months from the time you write it. Beyond documentation, it gives him/her the ability to refactor the code without fear of it breaking horribly and tells that developer which behavior of the application is intentional and which was accidental. And before you say, "Screw 'em...I've got a code freeze to meet," consider that the person maintaining the code 6 months from now is probably you.
i wish they would make databases and webservers and cacheing proxies and clustering tools and distributed filesystems or something like that. the ux on android, windows phones , symbian, etc are all plenty good already.
There's definitely a place for medication, but for the majority of people, it's probably not number 1.
Running against a local mysql instance running on a ramdisk and emptying the DB tables between tests yields "fast enough" performance while avoiding test pollution: ~300 full-stack scenarios in ~5sec start to finish.
When I saw this derivation during a course Theoretical Astrophysics it was indeed very enlightening, what is interesting is that it easily generalises to magneto hydrodynamics and other more complicated situations (mixture of multiple different fluids, fluids that react with each other etc.). I believe Landau Lifshitz contains some of them.
i have found exercise to be extremely useful when battling depression. diet also, but not nearly as much.
