Yes, they taper you off. This is to prevent the reactions being potentially SEVERE. In some cases they will still be SEVERE (yours), in other cases they won't (mine). I don't dispute that and I never did. So what are we disagreein

So your bad experience is data, my ok experience is anecdote and is worth less than yours. Gotcha. 'I had no problem' means that bad problems aren't inevitable, which opposed the totally unqualified 'SEVERE' claim -

OK, that's an SSRI which is what I had to come off (prozac), with no major issues. I'm not at all claiming it's a fun ride for everyone, just giving my one data point that it's not inevitably awful for absolutely everyon

I'm not sure what you're saying?

Yep, never taken SNRIs - for me it was straight prozac. Side effects while on it weren't pretty though.

I wonder why you say 'SEVERE' so severely. It doesn't sound like you have any direct experience of this. I had to come off them and it wasn't a problem. My biggest fear, and it was huge, was that the depression would ret

var dom := XMLparse(<some xml doc>); What's the problem? Edit: if you mean be in the extremely rare state of having to write an XML parser, it's very straightforward.

Why have such a thing ad why tolerate it - I mean get rid of it or tell whoever owns it now to fix it. What is the value of these things?

It's some weird mindset of can't-do speaking there. Maybe a sliver of truth but just failure dialling in to HN. They never offer anything useful, just want to feel important in their nihilism. They are a disease.

I don't know. Learning a new language isn't to be taken lightly and while I sort-of like C# I'm constantly aware that it's MS's property and shit is going to change and break. Also it seems Blazor is by MS, so ditto

Was in an uber once, driver told me he did 14 hour days and was very happy with the money he was making. From memory, 4k £ (UK) though maybe I misremember. 14 hour days, eh? I didn't ask if he thought that was safe. Uber should never l

Learning a little haskell a million years ago was a revelation. In my next bit of JS (a large, non-web project) I did lots of FP in it - and for the better, not just because i could. I really cut down on boilerplate, made it more readable a

IT contractor. Much of it DB stuff. The range of work you do goes from 'sit here and scrub data' to being given a free-ish rein when you've proven yourself, and then you can be very creative. It's all business-oriented

There is a problem with {trans, homo, etc}-phobia. But this made a point of this person being trans for some cheesy inclusivity. None of the trans people I know talk about being trans, or wish to talk about it. No-one I've ever worked

This is a good, constructive post, thanks. OK, I know something about handling stuff like this. The first thing you do is escalate it to your MP. The next thing is to publicise it - organisations just hate being embarrassed in public so yo
