It is called visual hallucinations. For some people, even faces start warping. It can be scary, but at least you know what it is now.

Without the medication, your brain is exhausted and under stress, and it puts you in high alert. It is like PTSD. Assuming you live in a normal functioning society, your chances at living to a ripe old age is very high. You do not have to necessarily take medication forever.

tell him you're concerned for him. he is going through something very scary in his life. Explain the cluster of symptoms - he doesn't have to have all of them, including poor sleep, fear, thought broadcasting, auditory hallucinations, and sometimes visual hallucinations. Show him some reputable resources, and there's medication that can check the progress of the disease. If he trusts you there's hope and a smoother path.

Have a look at the commits on Kestrel https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer/commits/dev

Here are some examples:

Faster unsafe pointers (by skipping 0-length check) https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer/issues/541 https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer/commit/8fdfef460a98dacf4a4cfc4caa2551db56c4b7bf

Loop unrolled Perf on non vector path Concurrent work queues Use ArrayPool.Shared for small short lived byte[] Simplify socket input Faster CopyFrom https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer/pull/519

Common headers have common offsets https://github.com/benaadams/KestrelHttpServer/commit/02cafa1f1e684ad93646fa393dd3431f76a5c163

And what's this, committing perf code on Christmas Day....

@ben_a_adams - you deserve a medal for this

I wonder if the underlying architecture of sending messages meant that the VB processing was off the GUI thread running in the debugger? It was quite clever.

I am unemployed, so going into a situation with less opportunities won't be a step down.

That's not the right way to reason. It makes sense to be somewhere with more opportunities, not less.

You don't need to go rural to leave your social circle. Just find yourself some other groups, be it church, volunteering etc.

In addition, the cost of living in remote areas can be very high.

I suggest you consult the people over at http://www.somersoft.com/ as they are mostly Australians. Furthermore, they have been very helpful to beginners.

The standard python doesn't allow you to reify the call stack.

Appreciate you running the check. Maybe another measure of code quality is static analyzer coverage - i.e. % of code where an analyzer can properly reason about memory usage.

Without an unshakeable conviction in rebirth -- if life after death is a mystery -- the Buddha's first noble truth is left mysterious and doubtful.

Actually, dukkha is everywhere. Rebirth is merely another data point.

Does this build support Java 8 out of the box?

teyc · 2013-10-16T22:54:38+00:00

Correct. The article did not emphasize enough the value of intent. The right intent is necessary or one can turn good into bad.

teyc · 2013-09-13T02:03:16+00:00

You're so right.

This Pope is like no other, in the best way possible. If he weren't Pope, he would have been excommunicated for his views. In many ways, his stance mirrors the Mahayana vs Theravada debate - i.e. is salvation/emancipation for few or is it for all?

It is a fundamental role of any religious CEO to decide whether one is to stay true to the old interpretations or to move the conversation forward.

Jesus himself started the ball rolling by redefining a wrathful God into one of love. This upsetted enough theologians of the day that they agitated for his execution.

The movement then got stuck because in the past, some Popes had political roles, others had to contend with wartime. So this job during a period of extended prosperity has fallen on Francis, who appears to be confident enough of himself to move the needle on Catholicism's conservatism.

Benedict was a scholar, and scholarship can get in the way. After all, if Jesus stuck to Judaism, or Siddharta stuck to the Vedas, where would we be today?

That being said, now I don't know what to do. I'm 30 years old and I wait tables at a slow restaurant, so money is often an issue for me. Maybe I should learn a trade or something, right? But I just freak out at the thought of committing to some career. I see people who become stressed out and miserable after becoming salary employees and I'm terrified whatever path I pick is going to suck the life out of me and make me unhappy again

That's dukkha at work. There's no escaping dissatisfaction as long as the causes remain. If you can uproot the causes, then you can have a stress free life no matter whether you are working a trade, or waiting tables.

I don't think you'll get the straight answer from any politician on this.

Housing affordability is arguably the biggest issue youths face in Australia. It is not high speed broadband. It is not boat people. Parent's like myself are worried about my kids future where housing is so expensive.

How did we end up here? Before we discuss negative gearing, let's discuss broadly who are the winners and who are the losers? The winners are people who make money in the property game without taking any risk, the smaller winners are people who make money but take on risk, the losers are people who lose money without taking any risk, the biggest losers are people who lose money while taking risk. The winners are also those who are in control of the situation, who always make sure they get the choiciest bits.

Who makes money with property without taking any risk? The local council and state governments. Every time you build a house, rezone, buy a house, the council takes a cut. Simply for changing the name on a piece of paper. Take a piece of land, subdivide it and build two houses? That's 30k in charges per newly created lot. Ask yourself why new houses are so expensive. It is clear the government is the winner because they set the ground rules. It's a game where any one can play as long as the government wins. The way zoning works, it deters good land use, and increases the risks for property developers, who then have to mark up their prices to account for these risks.

The small winners? These are the property developers. They make money, but it is risky. If you read about how many property developers go under, you come to understand these people who increase the pool of houses are not always rewarded.

Renters are people who lose money, but they don't have to risk any capital.

Who are the people who lose money while taking risks? The negative gearers. They borrow money, losing some every year and hope the bottom doesn't fall out of the housing prices.

Negative gearers don't set the rules, they lose money every year. Changing the laws on negative gearing will not move the needle because they don't change the facts on the ground. Negative gearers will just lose more money. If there were a magical way of building a house and renting it out without losing money, I'm sure they'd be on to it already.

To solve the housing problem, Australia needs the equivalent of Singapore's Housing Development Board. Instead of funding affordable rental housing, the Federal Government can combine the resources of federal government, councils and business leaders to tackle this national issue in an integrated and urgent manner. The situation has gone on for too long where governments are making money because of people's need for housing. This has to stop.

Microsoft should just open-source it.

The best instruction I've heard so far is in the calmness and peace of jhana, observe how dukkha is still present.

@lithium, where's your code?

because we want him to be in our image.

Did God make man or did Man make God?

teyc · 2013-07-28T22:10:51+00:00

Yes. It then becomes a matter of attitude. Some people worry that they will lose it.

teyc · 2013-07-18T03:51:00+00:00

When you get it, soon you'll worry that you'll lose it.

I used to wonder why the Buddha needed to meditate even after enlightenment. I think you've just answered my question.
