This is a good little post, but you actually are branded in the US if you seek paid treatment for depression. See this: http://behavioral.kaiserpapers.org/prozacharm.html

I've never had Riak crash on me. If you are having trouble ask any of the Riak guys and they will bend over backwards to help you. If you have found a crasher bug, I bet they want it fixed more than you do.

How exactly are you calculating muscle loss? My lean mass weight percentage has remained the same or has risen while my body fat has fallen. And yes, exercising with a diet like that is a recipe for failure if you don't plan for exercise, you need glycogen stores etc to be able to work-out without hurting yourself.

I think weight gain has lots to do with diet and little to do with exercise. I started dieting this year, I've lost 60 pounds so far. If you want to loose weight and stay healthy, stop eating crap. You don't have to resort to crazy desks to be healthy. To lose weight, eat as few carbs as you can (under 20g per day). To maintain it, try not to eat as much bread, grain, sweets, etc. Also, don't sit on your ass all day, get up and walk about the building for a few minutes at least every hour!

There are rumors that his death was self-inflicted, which is quite sad. Every time we see a young smart kid die like this, it should remind us to remember others as we go through our lives. Too often we ignore other peoples feelings, and then something like this happens. Take a moment to talk to the people you love to make sure something like this doesn't happen to them.

(If it turns out this is inaccurate, please excuse the speculation, but I still think this is important.)

These are all good tips, but you should also watch out for sleep apnea. Its incidence increases the more overweight you are, and it's a silent killer.

Sometimes it takes an actual person who has actually experienced this to tell you for it to actually click, I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense to you.

You're 20? You have your whole life ahead of you, get back on the grind and make it happen! It may feel hopeless now, but I assure you it's not. I'd bet you have skills that other people would love to have, you just need to figure out how to better apply them.

Don't give up, hard work pays off, I was in your exact situation or worse when I was your age :) (I'm 23 now and have turned it around)

Oh, and parents say things like that, ignore or fight them, it doesn't matter, just don't let it get to you. If you have friends that make fun of you, you are either misinterpreting what they are saying or they are not actually your friends. In the latter case, get rid of these people, they are harmful to your psyche.

Get in touch if you need more help, talk to the people around you too, people care more than you expect

Maybe they could apply this technology to Flash, so that video streaming on YouTube isn't so blurry :)

Compete.

I'll believe it when I see it. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like Duke Nukem Forever did. Also, I really sincerely hope that they'll open source the 1.x version, although if they do ever release 2.0 it might make that more unlikely.

Ah yes, the "Maximum PC" CRT pick many times in a row. :) Brings back good memories.

Looks good! Hope it supports AirPlay :)

Back in the 90s the US Government prohibited export of SSL stronger than 40 bits. I believe this is what they're referring to.

I would LOVE this for PDFs. A API would be super for this too, so we could integrate diffs into our applications.

Firing customers/clients is fine, but not like this.

Thanks for the extra info. I wasn't aware that hardware drivers used it, I just remember back in the day Mesa meant no Soldier of Fortune demo and Beryl :)

Mesa is a software 3D driver. It uses the CPU instead of your GPU. I've never had an intel igp on Linux, but it should probably be using intel drivers for 3d, not Mesa.

If I can ever get off of TextMate, it will NOT be to another closed source editor. TextMate is dying a slow painful death due to lack of attention from it's creator and owner. If it were an open source piece of software, the community would be adding new features and fixing bugs, not letting it stagnate while working on a ghost project.

The comments on this page are pure gold. So many people jumping on the bandwagon without a clue as to the actual security issues/solutions. Like this one:

  I personally think that delivering a quick update with MD5 encryption would be a fast patch for the moment.

Have you used it recently? It was really buggy/slow a few months ago, but has improved drastically.

In angers me slightly when I get an expired link, but I like getting expired links rather than items from other pages that I've already seen, like reddit. That is truly maddening.

People that get angry about things like this should really just chill. Google's probably created much more happiness than sorrow with this feature, by reminding kids to call their dads.

I think their concern is that the hardware drivers have bugs in them that could lead to remote compromise, not that access to the GPU. Microsoft knows something about this, as the execution of untrusted/unsigned shader code allowed the Xbox 360 to run unsigned code back in the day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free60

I've never used Fink, but the main problem I had with MacPorts is that it pulls down so much stuff and takes forever to compile things, since it doesn't use the built-in stuff.

I can understand your trepidation when using XCode to build things, but in reality I've never had any trouble using Homebrew. The packages are updated often, and if you want to contribute something, it's super easy (I've done it myself), since they're on Github.

Ever hear of Macports or Homebrew? They have almost everything I need, usually with the most up to date version. No 2 year old stale packages like Debian.

Edit: Don't presume this for everyone.

Most of their job postings still mention Ruby, so I suspect a big portion is Ruby/Rails based.

Yeah it's all great until that point :)

This is excellent! You can really easily play "Ode to Joy" with it.
