Ha! Agreed.

That's not something I'd thought about. I work in a multicultural office too, but we were all raised by the internet, so internet flavored humor is generally universally understood.

Hopefully low. The treatment focused approach works, and so once people see this they'll keep it even after the white suburban community gets over it's heroin problem.

Recovery is hard in tiny communities. All your friends are doing drugs, there are maybe 2 or 3 12-step meetings a week, no outpatient programs that you can attend while working, no sober living facilities, and treatment involves a trip to

Yep, the new face of heroin is white and affluent. While I'm all for the evidence based, treatment focused approach to addiction that this has brought about, isn't it a little telling that we only switched from punishment to trea

So there's a lot of "LOL LOOK AT THIS DUMB PERSON I AM SO MUCH SMARTER THAN HER!" going on here, especially in the reply that he seems to have sent her. Here's what's going on. Her IG account may, in fact have been

Stress and alienation/isolation have been directly implicated in depression, anxiety disorders, and addiction. Perhaps these sometimes result from what might be described as coercion, but I think that to characterize, for example, the

The is very cute! Well executed too. But if you're banned from taking a reddit/HN/tumblr/FB break at work, maybe it's time to look for a job that values what you produce, not how you produce it.

I'm a big fan of Zen and it's ilk, but the Japan fetish in this article is way too strong. I bet the author thinks that samurai swords were way better than their contemporaries in Europe

I did something similar while working for the IT department at the University of Chicago -- we helped a humanities prof build what was essentially a plagiarism detector, with the twist that it was designed to be applied to "great texts

React's learning curve is tiny compared to Angular. With React, you need to understand the component API, which consists of about 5 methods that one uses regularly, and the top level API, which consists of 2 (or just 1 if you use ES

A few thoughts. Drug testing is a great way for an employer to get rid of someone when they have no cause to fire them. For example, a friend of mine had a job throwing luggage at the airport. They had a policy that allowed them to arbitr

This is certainly how most people reach happiness, a conclusion supported by more than a few thinkers (Kierkegaard comes to mind). But is this really the only way? In AA we like to emphasize that there's no such thing as "hitting

I really appreciate your comment -- the last thing I wanted to start was a reddit-style circlejerk. I feel like responding to a few points, though. I think my comment might have come off as being sort of condescending to people who are unw

A few more: Worshiping beauty, and always feeling ugly as a result. Worshiping their own intellect, and always feeling like a fraud. Being crippled with self-doubt and skepticism. Constant anger at the world for wrongs, real or imagined. Be

Faith is extremely good for this. I didn't want to kickstart the perennial HN argument about 12 step programs, but that's how I found mine. I would add that I'm not exactly a Christian, although I find a lot of inspiration in

I'm an addict in long term recovery, and I hang out with lots of addicts trying to get or stay clean. Obviously this crowd has problems! But what's interesting is that as I've been making friends who aren't addicts, the

Frankly, if I were tasked with integrating existing BI tools with MongoDB, I'd immediately start looking at ways to "escape" the anemic Mongo ecosystem to something a bit richer. A Postgres FDW seems like an excellent design

"For many people, when the choice is between giving up the right to go to court or the chance to get a job, it is not a choice at all." Nice that we have luxury tech careers and can tell employers to fuck off. Remember to read yo

Um, blowing smoke or vapor in someones face is and always has been an act that signals aggression. Maybe you just need to hang out with nicer vapers?

Exactly. I switched from smoking to vaping a few months back, and I haven't looked back. My lungs don't hurt when I wake up in the morning, I don't smell like cigarettes all the time, and my landlord has, based on some indus

Interesting. As a developer, I've never had trouble assessing the trustworthiness of packages on github, and I see no reason to implement some kind of trust system for language specific repos (npm, for example). The reason is simply
