Try nootropics, a good choline source (alpha-gpc), piracetam and aniracetam. Rather than make your condition a problem they'll help you "go with it" and leverage it. Also although I'm not sure of the exact mechanisms of action, whatever it is that gets "drained" in context switching they seem to supply in abundance and you'll be able to context switch all day long without resulting fatigue. They are not stimulants, so don't expect a coffee "rush" ... the effects are evident with mental work done at the end of the day. Another thing that may help you: get into tDCS and use the "positive" side on the left side of your brain with the negative on the right when you need to "focus sequentially" ... but just make sure to balance that out with the reverse say, on the weekends so as to not overly direct your brain in one direction at the expense of balance. Holosync has worked for me as well although I'm not sure of the reasons why, although there is much technical info that comes with the free e-book from the website. It's a bit expensive, but I believe there is a "trial" version on that site by those guys in IKEA land that have funny replies to law firms threatening legal action for copyright infringement. Also I highly recommend a workflowy subscription as a sort of "brian cache" of your random trains of thought; you will need this especially if you try the nootropic route because you will be able to work for many hours at will pausing only for sleep. Also I would recommend you sample "focus@will" they have an experimental ADD channel (maybe part of the free trial?) and there are actually settings based on type (mostly sounds like Skrillex type music?). Various binaural stuff you can find on YouTube for free and high quality goes a long way. The point is any one of these is good, together they are greater than the sum of the parts and your thing can not only be "managed" but actually developed and directed to your advantage. Learn to use your super power. Also I would highly recommend you meditate on the logic of what used to be a nice niche game for the Mac a decade ago: Serenity. Basically it was a 3D polynomial rendering game where you had to "float" but the more direct and oriented the mouse movement, the worse the controls got. You had to "slow down" your brain and move sloooowly, gradually, with much subtlety to gain success. Then you got calm and sleep and could go to bed. Contrast that with the fast, twitchy nature of modern ... everything - cartoons, video games, movies, commercials, music ... and ask yourself if it contributes to your situation if perhaps your brain is a bit more sensitive to such stimulation. Learn when it's useful and when you need to isolate yourself from such inputs so that they don't "tip you over." Good luck.
You bring up an interesting point, though - Uber could very much suffer from being the first to break through all of these regulations, only for a second comer to step in, debt-unhindered, and destroy their business.

Some combination of Enochian and LISP, no doubt. No, I didn't read the article.
This looks unreal.
Given that it has a single persistent world, I would expect the one best player to take over the entire game. I wonder how they counteract that.

The best botting experiences I've had were in a tournament format. Initially you square off against opponents who you can teach your bot to beat using only very simple heuristics. Then you progress to opponents who require increasingly more sophisticated algorithms. It wouldn't be fun for novices to immediately face the best bot anyone has produced.
Apple demonstrates that it's possible to keep devices up to date, an example which the Android manufacturers could emulate.
the problem seems only half solved - the author does not show how they select (only) the most recent record.

as soon as the app needs to generate a list of f.e. active users, this can get nasty pretty quick. sure, one could use an aggregate like max(version), but once there are joins or lots of records involved, this could become a performance hit...

EDIT: the records are kept in a separate table, so my arguments are moot.
Shameless self promotion of my own blog with a lot of data analysis/visualization resources: http://minimaxir.com

The only thing I really, really want is paginated diffs for pull requests. C'mon. If I have 300 files, don't show me the first 15 and then say "well, this is too big, you'll just have to imagine what the rest of the diff looks like." Does Google return the first page and then say "the rest of the internet isn't available to you because we don't want to paginate things"? No, of course not. Just freaking paginate long diffs.

Gah.

You have to imagine that those with 20 years of experience in the business world inherited their practices from the people above them. This means people are prone to getting trapped in a certain mindset and a way of doing things, because that is just "the way it has always been done". Whether or not SV is improving on these traditional practices is certainly up for debate, but you can't fault them for breaking from the mold and trying something different. That is where innovation comes from.
I never realized how odd it is, etymological, to release a release candidate before.
Not sure of your particular usage case but wouldn't it be just as easy to pick up a cheap (or decent) sound card that would meet or beat anything onboard could do? I personally tend to stick with onboard because it does what I need (sound for music and movies) and I use external sound interfaces when I want to mess with anything requiring more sound performance/options (like recording or making my pitiful attempts at producing music).
I wonder if the author had tried using Delve (https://github.com/derekparker/delve) to see if that is any better/more featured for the problems he was having.
Show HN: A lightweight library in Objective-C for scheduling tasks
The Week in Charts
This is a helper class that allows scheduling and cancelling of one-time/periodically executing tasks for Objective-C, much like the ScheduledFuture interface of Java. Typically, we end up using a NSTimer in this case which takes a strong reference to self, causing painful reference cycles. With this class, you can dispatch any number of blocks for execution without worrying about strong references(except within the block). This class cleans itself up using dealloc, so doesn't require any additional memory management. Finally, it provides an interface to cancel the task at will, or update it's execution period. I have been exclusively using this class instead of NSTimer for quite some, so I wanted to share it with the community. In case you find any issues or have any feedback, please add it on github for easy tracking. Thanks!

afaik, part of the "legacy of the 20th century" includes the eugenics beliefs and experiments carried out throughout the world, including the holocaust.

I'd say that the actual, scientific development of "nature vs. nurture" carries on healthily in academic spheres, while online you find plenty of hardcore zealots for either camp, from otherkin to racists talking about "human biodiversity" and advocating for gender roles.

Socialism has a "branding" problem in the U.S. It's been successfully portrayed by some to mean Soviet style communism, but then when you ask the average person who doesn't like socialism if that means they want to give up Social Security and Medicare they get confused.
Your math suggests that it will take at least 9 years to be profitable again.
I guess you misunderstand what I mean by an explanatory model.

It would be something like:

sleep deprivation=(x*RF intensity)+A Constant.

Without x, we have no idea how relevant the 10^18 is to the problem.

So I'm not demanding a theory demonstrating that RF can influence biology, just pointing out that the magnitude of the change in RF is insufficient information to draw a conclusion from.
I guess you could work around that by having null in the version column for the active/latest row. Then your queries become 'where version is null' if you want to skip superseded rows. You could then use partial indexes (where version is null) to handle unique constraints etc.

EDIT I hadn't finished reading the article, so I didn't see that they were using triggers and the history table. Using the approach I outlined you could keep everything in the same table (if you were that way inclined).
> De Novo charters are available, but in very limited supply.

Is it limited supply or limited demand? While I've seen some articles pointing to higher FDIC standards, I've seen others indicating that the market conditions that are historically linked to high levels of de novo applications simply haven't existed since the crash, though there are some signs conditions are edging toward them.

> Prior to 2008, 100's were issued annually.

Prior to 2008, those new banks were almost without exception chasing the then-booming real estate loan market, whose collapse was a central element of the crash. Those hundreds annually in the years just before the crash were a symptom of the bubble that was about to burst.
I have a theory that the talent level at most companies has almost nothing to do with ridiculous HR policies, but rather two things:

1) Project/Field
2) Name brand recognition

The game industry has a lot of overqualified people on very poor salaries in poor conditions because games are sexy. Google has both sexy projects and name brand recognition, which allows them to recruit top level talent despite the fact that their interview process is absurd and frankly, pretty insulting to qualified professionals (can you imagine doctors or lawyers going through similar processes?). Reason being, having google on your resume opens a lot of doors, and there's a chance you get to work on something really cool.

So I don't know anyone that works at Netflix, but I would believe they have mostly above average engineers not because of this bizarre practice of firing "average" people, but because they have enough recognition to find above average people in the first place.
Why? They're modifying the main table, which isn't growing with each update. The changes are simply tracked in the history table.
Can we start calling this Transintermediation instead?
If you care about spending an extra $30 on a CPU cooler, I'd say Skylake is definitely not for you.

If you're getting Skylake for gaming you should probably be planning to drop $400 (or more for a bigger size) on an Intel 750 SSD.

> At this point, piracy is the only ethical solution to obtaining such content, as giving these companies money is immoral and supports people who threaten and ruin people's lives for profit.

I don't understand this rationale at all. Surely the solution to an industry whose business practices you don't like is to stop using their products.

Indeed, your rationale is one reason why Hollywood has so much power. Piracy eviscerates the criticism against these legal measures by strengthening the idea that people don't really care about freedom, they just want a popular product for free. Every time you pirate a Hollywood movie instead of simply forgoing watching it, you just validate the value and importance of the products Hollywood produces. You just reinforce the idea that these products are so important, it's worth undertaking these extreme measures to protect the companies that produce them.
Don't know about the quality of the support†, or what "decent" onboard sound is, but Supermicro sells a bunch of boards that support 1 or 2 Xeons (and generally also support consumer chips), ECC and have onboard sound. E.g. for the low, low price of $289 this board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182... will support two processors, up to a half terabyte of memory, and has a Realtek ALC888 for 7.1 channels of sound.

†I'm using a one processor chip X9SAE to type this with, with HDMI output with sound included to my receiver and then monitor.
Maybe. But still, that's not evidence that the agency is unchecked so much as a complaint that it takes too much effort in some cases to check it.

And more importantly, this was not exactly a case where the agency was running amok in blatant violation of the law. It was a genuinely controversial legal proposition whether personal property was covered by the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment until this case was decided. Most legal checks on agency action do not require enunciation of new principles of Constitutional law by the Supreme Court, so this is not a great example.
How do you deal with future developers acting on the table? Triggers ensure that later on I don't develop some new code and forget to update the history (and does all your code deal with inconsistent/damaged history).

Perhaps if you're using some sort of abstraction layer then you can make sure that only developers who've read the docs and are aware of semantic links between tables which aren't enforced by the database then this can be mitigated?
I love to use tuples for rapid prototyping too. But when I need the same tuple again on some another place I do refactor my code to use Class instead of tuple.
The Intel 750 is officially speaking a consumer product, but it's pretty out there. M.2 is far more popular and is doing a pretty good job of supplanting mSATA and effectively prevented SATA Express from being adopted. U.2 is brand new and is only going to show up on the most expensive consumer products, but M.2 can be found on a lot of motherboards under $100.

Take a closer read at what you posted.

> 1.2 CPAP is only recommended as a treatment option for adults with mild OSAHS if:

I can't see the definitions of mild and severe, but clearly this is not recommending CPAP only "after lifestyle interventions have been tried" for the entire population.
"Under the contractor model, Lee says, the leaders at Luxe hadn’t been able to schedule workers for unpopular hours like late nights on Friday and Saturday; they could only bribe them to come online with higher rates of pay, as Uber does with surge pricing."

That's not bribery; that's simple supply and demand.
I suppose that's true.
Reddit is a zero dollar company without users. The software platform is value-less and easy to recreate. Reddit pays for hosting, and if your business model is "we pay for hosting," your business is fragile.

yes, the experiment is key ...and means a hypothesis and means to test and measure results is also required.

From what I can tell, moving from my i5-2400 (Sandy Bridge) to the i7 6700K (Skylake) would apparently buy me about a 70% performance boost. But then moving to a 4790K (Haswell) gets me a 69% boost. And I could get a 40% boost by buying a 3770K (Ivy Bridge), and then I wouldn't even need a new motherboard, RAM etc....
>So when growth stops, profit happens almost by default.

That's a pretty bubblicious thing to say. Your model depends on the nature of the costs. Expansion costs aren't 100% and operational costs aren't 0%. I realize it was just a quick example, but profit will depend on how their costs are actually distributed. Certainly not automatic.
> The American media routinely criticize the government

That's another difference between the U.S. and China: the U.S. use elected politicians as media decoys in addition to foreign countries a lot more than China, leaving unexamined the real groups that run the countries, which in the U.S. includes the corporations that pay money to advertise on TV or in the news.

too bad I'm in NYC...
Hey sorry for the late reply. I applied at a time when I was unhappy with my job and was unsure of my prospects. During the time I applied I was out doing interviews as well. I got a job at a company I love and am really excited about it. That excitement has more to do with why I declined to go to grad school in the end.
There was a very interesting presentation this year at PGConf New York with something similar [1], but where the history table has the same name as the normal table, but lives in a separate history schema. Also there is a timetravel schema whose tables again have the same name, but are views of the history schema, with an extra WHERE filter to only show rows that were active at a given time. So by changing your schema_search_path and setting the "current_time" setting you can easily query the whole database as if it were some other time! I haven't tried this out yet, but it looks to be very compatible with an ORM like ActiveRecord. This is something I've been looking for for a long time.

It depends on your target market. For example if you're making an app for early adopters you'd want to go with a high end model, but if you're doing something for the mass market you might want to look at what's popular.

It might also depend on what country your market is in since say the most popular Android phone in China won't be the most popular Android phone in Europe.

Something else to keep in mind about the Android market is how fragmented it is in terms things like screen size. So with that in mind in an ideal world you may want to have several phones to test on.
Good suggestion, angersock — though it might take a bit more than an afternoon to get it done ;)
It shouldn't have needed the Supreme Court to rule that the government can't take arbitrary amounts of a farmer's crop without payment.
Github is a remote host for Git repositories - if you don't know how to use git then you're going to need to learn. If you do, great. Since your profile says you're trying to become a programmer and want to work for Google, it's a necessary skill.)

Github pages is a way to host sites from a Github hosted repository: https://pages.github.com/

There are other ways to host a site as well, typically involving an account with some service (Godaddy and Hostgator are two popular ones but there are hundreds of options) and registering a domain name, and uploading the files (usually by FTP though modern services deploy by git as well) to the remote server. Then the domain name points to the files on that server.

Yes, second what the other poster said - don't take it personally. You went out on a limb and shared some personal experiences; though it may seem anecdotal, a bit of research backs up a lot of what you said even though it may not work the same for all people with all ADD types; I for one was surprised at the resulting calm I felt when I just drank basically water with about a tablespoon of pink salt mixed in; then I suddenly realized about every psychiatric drug on the market has "sodium" as part of its makeup and am starting to wonder if the drug companies are not just selling people high-priced salt with some narcotics mixed in for the price justification. But in conclusion, this is a forum on the net, don't try to understand let alone predict people's reactions - you should focus only on what you can control, which is planting the seeds.

If you take the earth away the moon would still be orbiting the sun.

So sure, the moon is far from the earth, but that just means it takes ~28 days to orbit the earth.

Manitobans are the worst offfenders on the "bag"/"bayg" meter. If anything, it's the trademark of their accent. It isn't until I point it out do they hear it. anything that Americans (californians especially) say with the short A sound that ends with a hard consonant is liable to be mangled by a manitoban. If you aren't hearing it, it's because your accent is getting in the way (the one you probably swear you don't have).

Ontario residents mangle their A sounds a little different. when you have an "ar" combination in a word, they pronounce it like "air", but as if you're simultaneously having a mild stroke. "Marnie had an Enlarged Heart" is always fun to hear one say.
