On: Ask HN: I Have Cancer. What Should I Do?

[sirspazzolot]

Others in this thread have first-hand experience with cancer and have offered better advice than I could try to, and I don't have anything else substantial to contribute. I just want to wish you good luck with your new job if you proceed there, and many years of happiness with your soon-to-be wife!

This is basically what weev found out about AT&T that got him put in jail.

"DRAFT - Not for redistribution" haha

Very interested in seeing where Haskell is headed in the future. Major props to Intel for the disclaimer that this isn't a definitive study.

I think a support network for depressed hackers is a great idea, and I'd love to help out in some way (though I'm sort of lacking in technical skill).

That said, I also agree with what dandrews says: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5348693 Don't overexert yourself trying to help. If you think helping others will help you, then sure, go right ahead! But please be focused on your own recovery. We'll need a stable leader if we want to do this right ;)

It only showed me a "submit response" button and no questions. So I clicked it and now I can't redo it.

Yeah, same problem yesterday for me. I don't know if this will lower the chance to get in the beta, but I sure hope it doesn't.

Contact support?

[sirspazzolot → mintplant]

I did, though there isn't really a spot for it. I doubt they'll do anything, but oh well. No big deal.
