IamNotAtWork

Therapy wasn't for me. I had a hard time opening up myself to complete strangers. Moreover, you need a lot of sessions to make a difference, which equates to a ton of money. So for years I have been taking meds, which general doctors are happy to prescribe.

Recently I got completely off of it. I know my body well enough to know that I can, so I did. I did it because I was unhappy with how many side effects it had, while not really making me happier... just more level I suppose. I still lacked a desire to do things that I used to love while on meds.

I find that two things really shape how well I feel. 1) sleep. Lots of it, and good quality too. 2) exercise. It helps to have exerted a lot of energy so that sleep is better. If I haven't exercised for that day sleep will be hard which makes more more depressed and work less effectively the next day.

Like others have mentioned, you need to find a therapist that clicks with you.

Prioritize your health over your work. Work 8 hours and no more. If project might get delayed then so be it. Your PM will have to allocate more resources or fire you. Have enough money saved up so that even if you get fired you aren't screwed. If your stress isn't caused by work, then something else, but since you are asking on HN I suppose it is related to work, and the isolation that it brings.

Right, I think they said your content isn't monetized unless you have over 10k subscribers and X number of uploaded videos. This makes it hard to make money off of your cat, for example, as people click and share but don't subscribe. It's also harder to have a stream of these viral videos.

It's kind of sad that it went this way but I think it can open opportunities for alternatives to youtube.

Her site is 503 at the moment.

What was the root cause of the problem that motivated this visualization tool?

Are these courses being taught by graduate students? The three main instructors seem like they are students themselves, with an army of under and grad TAs.

Pity that you pay so much money to attend Stanford only to be taught by your peers. Not knocking on Stanford as this is how is being done much everywhere in the undergrad level now.

Can you elaborate on what in CV became obsolete overnight? I took a survey course in CV but I haven't kept up. You still do facial detection, object recognization, camera calibration, image stitching the same way in 2012? Or has it changed because the processing has gotten faster and the results are near real-time?

Hashbase seems to function as one of the nodes in the DAT network, so even if none of the peers are online at least Hashbase is still there. That's what I gathered from a quick scan.

The DAT network seems interesting and is new to me, but like you said, needing a central node to cache the data seems like breaking the p2p story.

I wonder if part of the agreement with Intel, AMD agreed to not bring out Ryzen 7 APU with better graphics to keep that segment competition-free? Currently there are no plans for anything higher than Ryzen 5 in the APU space.

Would that be anti-competitive behavior or just part of business?

Apple probably needs a datacenter of its own anyway. Just think about all of the data they use internally for projects, and other sensitive stuff they would never allow to leave the network. So building a state of the art DC with low PUE makes sense.

However, farming out some of the costs to other cloud providers seems like a good strategy to eliminate single point of failure, or avoid all data being lost if somehow one provider loses data. And maybe then they can focus on adding compute units rather than storage, and backup for the storage units.

In short, despite Apple's user base, I still don't think it is on the scale of AWS or Google.

I really don't like state machines because if you need to add a new event, each of the states need to be updated to handle that event. If you add a new state, you have to figure out how to handle each of the transitions from other states. So as your states grow, the maintenance on the developer's side grows faster than linear.

Additionally, I find that I cannot understand how the program works without actually drawing out the state machine diagram if I come across it the first time, so there is a bit of a learning curve. It's also a nightmare to test because of all of the states that need to be tested.

So in summary, not a fan. Like recursion... if it feels natural then use it, but I don't go and try and turn stuff that isn't a SM into one or turn something that can be done as loops into recursive function for fun.

I thought based on your opening sentence that you were going to say having no understanding of the problem worked out okay. So are you saying you were unproductive at your old job?

There are actually more women in physics and other natural sciences than CS. So, don't despair, your chances are already better than most geeks!

I always go for the staffed lines because they do the job faster than I can do it myself. Especially for things where someone needs to look at your id, like buying alcohol - a cashier is faster than self-checkout.

Funny I never heard of him until today.

Are you just sad that you didn't buy in a year ago? Don't worry, me too. :) Heck, my brother in law who is a lawyer and don't know anything about blockchain bought some and my niece's college education is paid for now. LOL.

> To get the really good ideas, we need to tolerate really bad and wacky ideas too.

part of the problem is demand for applications for theoretical research done at universities. You can't just do research on wacky ideas because the money you need to do the research have deliverables attached.

I just signed up and while it looks like a great resource I really wish they would grade your submissions on pass/fail based on the test cases that are included with each module. I thought it was weird that I submitted something that was not passing but it didn't complain... because if that's the case, why even submit? As a commentator I would like to know if I'm commenting on solutions that are passing or failing first, before writing any comments. Just my thoughts.

Why? Most people just put money they don't need into it, like spare cash. Depending on when you bought, chances of ever going down to that level now is incredibly small.

So can you actually withdraw money from coinbase, if you say had 100 coins (I don't). Everyone said back then that Mt. Gox was safe because it was the biggest. It being based in Japan was a huge red flag, but nobody cared until all of its money disappeared.

Coinbase being based in the US probably won't happen because there could be consequences for them if they disappear with the coins, but having been burned by Mt. Gox fiasco is making me sit out of crypto, but with some sour grapes because each day bitcoin just go up and up. Was $13000 yesterday and it's almost $16000 today. It took a week to go from $10000 to $15000. Insane.

Everytime I get frustrated with my wife I'm just going to keep thinking about how good I have had it.

HOW? Did court order you to pay alimony or something?

What the! There is gotta be some non-compete clause or something.

I have taken MS level econometrics with regression and bunch of other techniques. Is that what AI/ML is?

How do I get onboard the ML/AI bus? Or do I wait for these smart people to figure it out and then I'll just call their API?

I think the rising cost of health care, child care, etc just mean that your business better provide a real service or fill a niche that is badly needed. If the barrier to entry is super low then everyone with a half baked idea would start a business, watch it fail and default on their debt. It's probably not a bad thing to be at least somewhat hard to start a business. That said, most serial entrepreneurs bring their own money and manage to build something as they have the capital. Then after a few years, sell their mediocre company for 20x what they put in. Rinse and repeat. Life is pretty good when you are already rich.

I haven't overcome the virtual env thing. There are a few virtual environment libraries, not sure which one to use. Then it is awkward to have to change your entire environment over by activating it and for it to be global. What if I want to work on two different projects in two different terminals? Why can't I activate an environment by just CDing into a directory with my project?

Then there is the GIL. I still don't know if multithreaded python apps are really MT or just faking it. And yes, I know you can do event driven stuff and that does look very interesting.

Can someone explain the use for cloudflare at the end? I thought you can do the same thing just through your domain registrar?
