It's difficult to say what is a choice and what isn't. Is anything my choice? Perhaps the world is deterministic, so nothing is anyone's choice. But also, I have seen people who seemingly choose to wallow in their grief.
Also what is depression? I'm very sad that my partner died. I miss her. Some people have a chemical imbalance in their body. These are entirely different things. Perhaps I shouldn't have used that word, which has so many different meanings as to lose meaning altogether.
When you have a kid and don't want to get out of bed the whole day, eventually the kid is hungry enough to start screaming, and it will keep screaming until you get out of bed and feed it. It really is in everyone's mutual interest, depression or not. It's harder to stay depressed when you have to do things. It's easier to stay depressed when you can lie in bed the whole day.
Thanks for restating, I get where you're coming from.
Also your reply to another comment made me realize this is also a language mixup on my side. I didn't realize there is a depression (mood) in English. My native language has the major depressive disorder as depression, not sure if there is a term for the mood. Sorry for not checking this assumption before but I guess my perception of suggesting 'have you tried not being depressed?' just didn't sit well with me.
It is never a choice and it is always a choice because it is fundamentally an internal psychological battle.
I personally think that viewing it as a choice is the more productive of the two. That is to say, people have the choice to persevere, keep trying to improve, and trying to recover. Nothing will change without intent.
Wikipedia says "Depression is a mental state of low mood and aversion to activity" - that's what I meant.
Mental illness is I think a different thing. Depression doesn't imply mental illness, nor does mental illness imply depression. I understand and agree that many people let mental illness come between them and whatever. It's a problem. It's just a different problem.
Not for students.
CS6 single product was up to $250, CS6 DS $350, CS6 MC $800 compared to CC 1st year $240 increasing to $360.
If you only needed a single product you were off worse after one year. Even doing a bachelors which required all products would have been less expensive with the one time fee if you had the money.
Back in the day (a decade ago) you would go to the lab which had Autodesk/Solidworks/Matlab/Adobe/$expensive-software installed instead of buying it for your personal (and probably underpowered) device. It was one of the few things that your tuition actually paid for.
And you'd have to learn time management to make sure you could get your project done on time instead of crunching at the last minute, because the lab would be filled with people who didn't.
Our lab used to let you remote desktop in for that stuff, but it was unreliable at best (especially during project crunch times) because anyone physically at the lab could kick you off your computer by unplugging it. Was still really nice to have if you were letting a rendering run overnight.
On the Autodesk side, they give out free access to student accounts, so I had that stuff both in the lab and on my home computer.
Not at all! It's like porting a program which expects there to be a TCP stack to a system which doesn't have one, and wiring up a component which responds to all HTTP requests with 404 instead of letting it hang on an infinite loop or crash. Say it uses a browser for rendering, but in the original you can also fetch websites, and the assumption is deeply baked into the code.
If your choice is between playing whack-a-mole with all parts of the system which might call out, or just issuing a 404 (after all, if there's no Internet, you're not going to find a web page on it), that's a reasonable way to solve the problem.
No, it means you may potentially have all of those but there is no guarantee. Neither is there a guarantee that a publicly insured person wouldn't receive the same treatment.
E.g. if there aren't any free "better/worse" rooms what are they supposed to do? Many of these are nowadays covered by employers as a benefit or for cheap (~5€) out of pocket if you want.
Private insurance matters most for specialists that don't (aren't allowed to) have (or want) a public insurance license.
Haven’t watched the video but this makes a lot of sense.
I assume there are quite a lot of Leetcode solution repositories containing exact problem descriptions and LeetCode naming on GitHub.
So essentially it‘s copy and pasting from these solutions.
