Wow. Assuming much? I work as a linux admin professionally and work with four different distros on a daily basis. Simply, I don't have enough time to fix every fucking issue that happens on my operating system that prevents something f

I wish I had your luck... A lot of fixes on forums constantly suggest to uninstall first. Which sometimes actually fixes issues. Other times it makes things worse. Either way - buying a lottery ticket soon?

Well, for what it's worth, none of the people I talked to went on it expecting it to be the fastest fast, especially with cost considered. Lots of folk there just wanted to reflect on life in some shape or another.

Agreed with rpgmaker. My experience with the law (IANAL) is that it's sometimes just easier to pull up the books, read the relevant portions yourself, then confirm it with your lawyer for some quick answers. This is what I was doing be

Absolutely. There's nothing like a chance to sit back and just code while the world passes by. I highly recommend a laptop/book/sketchpad and a trip on the amtrak over the course of a couple days to relieve a lot of stresses.

Here's another path - a mixture of pride and compassion. One nirvana please.

Eh, I think there's a bit more to that dichotomous statement than you think. In the context of the end result, the motivation doesn't necessarily matter, just so long as the end result is good and is also done without Feel Good ap

Wow. I've been suspecting this more and more, but whenever I bring it up or similar, it ends with an asinine amount of resistance and I'm regarded as an SJW, worse, and even unempathetic. Hell, when I bring up some of the civics w

Yes, I fully agree with you that a lot of the symptoms of mental health issues are often symptoms of larger issues. I see this in myself, and I see it in others. Often times, all that's needed is to take vitamin D, less caffeine, stric

Fair enough! It sounds like you're definitely on an awesome track in the right direction and very similar to the one I'm going down. It's... uh.. dynamic, eh? And again.. sorry if I sounded too harsh there. My gears get groun

I don't mean to come off too harshly. Yes, I'm frustrated, but I think it's justified. From personal experience and from tons of psychology research, talking how you're talking in that post and what I'm assuming yo

Yes, a lot of that vitriolic anger is, in fact, because he's trying to sell a book. Thing is, I agreed with the message very strongly. It's a message that I hold dear and it's something I try to live my life by on a day to da

I honestly can't tell if this is real. My dislike started strong, but his reference to useless MBTI crap and peddling of his book in some annoying non-ironic form turns me even more towards disliking, nearing hatred, to him and those l

It's called CANVAS. I saw some very interesting things in that contract - for example, 20M of that included a subcontract for paper. It's relatively understandable, but it's pretty clear that someone at an obscure, difficult

As I mentioned in another post, I'm perfectly fine with the word "crazy" in its use similar to "out of this world". I use it myself all the time since it's a crazy good word to describe a large class of stuff.

For what it's worth, it actually doesn't. I used it in a quote in a recent post :p

Dude, this is a forum about startups. I'm not going to be academically precise in my arguments for a huge list of number of reasons. I'm not suggesting that this isn't a complicated issue, but that there are many ways to go

Why is citation needed? This is from raw, personal experience that's shared amongst the mentally ill who I've talked to and who I've read from online and other medium. If you want citation, just go to any forum dedicated to m

No, stop that line of thinking. Please. When someone is called crazy, they're making a parallel to a crazy person on a train screaming about how they didn't take their meds. When someone who has legitimate mental health issues is

Sorry for the double post, I just wanted to comment on your last point. Holy shit. Just because someone has a mental health issue doesn't mean they're violent. Everyone I know who has mental health issues are the friendliest peopl

As someone who's called "crazy" because of mental health issues, I use "crazy" all the time to describe things that are colloquially "out of this world". That said, I would never, ever use that word to des

I have bipolar II and definitely see it as a slur. See, I go into hypomanic states and do things that are what you'd typically see from a "crazy" person. Buzzing my head, getting into bad financial situations, intense obsessi

Fair enough. I'll try to keep things more on-topic!

This is a great step in the right direction! I did a request for Chicago's $100M ticketing system's code - written by IBM - and they're acting very, very slowly to further respond. More so than usual. Hopefully this sort of w

Neat. I had lots of issues with S3 about a year ago. If I had any sort of network saturation from, well, uploading files, the connection would die while keeping the files up in s3. I couldn't find any direct way to do any sort of check

I have a seriously hard time reading this comment while knowing what Orson Scott Card is actually like. In the frame of who he really is, everything about Ender's game seems like a reflection of an idea of parody or hyperbole of the pe

Or even closer to home, just look at those with mental health issues.

Thanks for the links! I've been having a lot of frustrations with jupyter and since it's almost impossible to find anything technical on google these days, I haven't been able to find any good alternatives.
