And then we can take this, but put it on the JVM, and we end up with Jo!

Funny enough, I had gone from ORM to SQL a couple years ago and now I've just recently gone back to ORM. For simple projects, raw SQL can be quite good. But once your model is complex enough that you're doing 3+ way joins relative

Is it? There are plenty of Rails sites, Basecamp included, that have pretty high uptime. GitHub is also based on Rails, and while it could be better, it is substantially more stable than GitLab IMO.

The whole situation around packages was kind of a pain in the ass, so that was a pretty immediate turn off.

Is server-side Swift really that good now? I’m in the market for a new statically typed language, and it was looking like Java still might be my best option...and I’m really not a huge fan of that.

Vapor generally kicks ass in benchmarks FWIW, and it's using this now so clearly Apple is beginning to pay attention to stuff around server side concurrency: https://github.com/apple/swift-nio Although as I mentio

I tried Dart out recently thinking it might make a bit of a comeback thanks to Flutter -- but I honestly just didn't enjoy it. I was doing a small POC project in AngularDart, and the experience I've had working with Angular w&#x2F

The performance improvements aren't exactly because of static typing. Obj-C method calls are slower because it uses dynamic dispatch (literal message passing vs a C style function invocation IIRC), whereas Swift generally only does thi

I believe part of my issue might be that I'm using 1 HDMI port and another mDP to HDMI converter. From what I've read it seems like people tend to have these problems when using converters. So I guess if I were running directly of

It takes a long time to wake from sleep, sometimes over 30 seconds with monitors flickering on and off. Which monitor displays which desktop will change after unplugging and plugging back in, or even after sleeping and waking back up.

Speaking of exceptions to this...they really need to fix their damn multi monitor support. It’s one of the few things Windows is far better at. I get that a small number of Mac users are even affected by this, but man would I appreciate tha

It seems like a stretch to think the N.Y. Senate is really stupid enough to think this is good legislation. Which makes me wonder if some of the unfortunate side effects are actually seen as a feature rather than a bug.

If the site is the only business they have in Europe, it ought to be GDPR compliant. They’re essentially just pulling out of Europe rather than changing their product. It’s not like GDPR says every website on the internet is forced to serve

Not sure where you’re located but where I’m from there’s been a growing heroin problem since the last recession. Crackdowns on prescription opioids (under Obama I believe) seem to have pushed even more people to heroin. No noticeable change

In the article it’s mentioned that Trump has already maintained Obama’s policy on this issue by ordering the DoJ not to prosecute anyone in states where it is legal. It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that he would support this measure as w

Yeah, that’s pretty much been my experience with our “mental health care” system as well. Well, that and pills that don’t work (for me). Maybe it’s just the world that’s sick.

HATEOAS is a great idea. So is CQRS + event sourcing. But the implementation doesn't live up to the idea on paper.

OpenCL didn't seem to be succeeding, so that's not entirely surprising. It is disappointing that they've chosen to deprecate OpenGL and ignore Vulcan in favor of Metal, though. Although I don't know much about this parti

Physiology and “chemical imbalance” aren’t exactly the same thing. Just because you’re physiologically predisposed to depression doesn’t mean that you can fix that by ingesting chemicals, which is usually what’s implied by that phrase.
351.
by jrs95 8y ago
It’s just my opinion based on personal experience, from my own struggles and those of people that I’ve known. It seems to make a lot of sense that we like the chemical imbalance narrative because it allows us as a society to wash our hands

Yup. Just to get rich selling pills that barely make a difference. As someone who’s probably had a prescription for every major anti-depressant, the only difference I never noticed from taking them is that my dick didn’t work. Not saying th

Has anyone done this and had success? As someone who has dealt with suicidal thoughts for years and continues to struggle with it, it wouldn’t do me any good. I’d lie and act like it’s a ridiculous question, and then I’d probably be binge d

The context of those leaked emails pretty much ensures that it would be framed in terms of revenue and potential PR backlash. Even if those individuals have a moral problem with it, they're likely going to frame their argument in that

That's not much better, it's still not an open standard. Plus since this is a Google chat app both it and it's successor will probably have been killed off in favor of yet another chat app within the next 2 years.

This is a good point. I think it’s difficult to argue that gun control doesn’t save lives in these situations or even overall. But then your options for armed resistance against the state are quite limited, which is the entire purpose of th

There’s no reason to use a large number of police to do that. Way too many people are involved and it’s too public.

Psychiatric drugs are too profitable, and sanitariums threatens the constant invention and sale of expensive psychiatric drugs. Although in my opinion nobody should ever be involuntarily committed. They should have to commit a crime, and th

Police entering someone’s home are going to have to be prepared even if there was a very low chance of encountering someone with a gun. If you’re going into a house and you don’t know where someone is, pretty much any kind of lethal weapon

Unless you really need it for a platform like Spark where there aren't many other options, pretty much any other statically typed language is likely to be more productive in the long run, once you account for the costs of Scala's
