bmake is very portable and it is available on Debian and Ubuntu. I am not aware of any RPM package but installing from sources is a breeze, I had it running on the newest CentOS as well as on paleontological Solaris editions, without having to tweak a single line of code.

If you look for a more engineered installation solution, give a try to PKGSRC, which is the (portable) ports tree of NetBSD – though I never used it intensively. This even used to work in a (now obsolete) Unix-like environment on windows.

When you'll find time to experiment with the Makefiles, feel free to get in touch (my email is in the source, or with the issue tracker) I will be happy to help.
That's possible because they count both photovoltaic and thermal conversion efficiency. I'm not entirely clear on whether they want to use the heat as heat or always for electricity generation. They claim GaAs solar cells get 40% efficiency, which I'm ready to take at face value. 60% of the energy is then converted to heat. For a total of 80% conversion efficiency we'd need only 66% efficiency for the thermal-to-electricity conversion, which is well within theoretical reach, given they also claim >1000C achieved temperatures.
What do you learn in medical school that makes you, an external person, better at knowing whether someone's thoughts/feelings are aligned with diagnostic criteria?

Take a look at the diagnostic criteria for ADD. There's nothing in them that doesn't involve observing someone's behavior. It's not like you're examining their organs or running tests.
Picking out a few horror stories and ignoring everything else is a bit too easy - it's not all that bad.

How often do people measure, log how much or test potency? Never.

That is simply untrue.

I don't have any numbers of course. But from the people I actually know, including myself, almost everyone who was trying something new for the first time would first check what a normal dosage was and then take like 1/4th, or less depending on what type of drug, of that first just to see what to expect. We even had test kits for XTC pills which would check if they'd actually contain MDMA.

Moreover since a couple of years in the Netherlands there are labs to which you can send your drugs to get test results back about amount of active ingredients and so on.

This all just to illustrate there are in fact sensible drug users out there and not everyone, or everyone in a certain scene, just ingests/snorts whatever you give them.

Every electronic "stage" piano I've owned has had an option to modify the tuning, at minimum allowing you to choose between equal, well, meantone, pythagorean.

I remember one Yamaha I owned even had the option to customise the tuning yourself. Can't remember the model number, it cost a decent-ish chunk of change, around 800 GBP about 15 or so years ago.
I think the point of the article is that if developers were required to do this, they could do it.
> The author says that developers can do these things, but I highly doubt it.

Being able to do something from memory is something we only care about in high school. Take me, for example: did my router support L2TP termination? No. Did DD-WRT support it out of the box? No. What a developer can do is cobble together information in order to find a working solution. So would I, as a non-Dev-Ops be able to set up MPLS over IPSEC, having never done it before? Yes: I have Google and I have a brain between my ears.

Here is information about current Israeli medical research that indicates a physical marker is close to being identified--by involuntary eye movements.

http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/New-Tech/Involuntary-eye-mo...

Given that the condition was described over 2500 years ago by Hippocrates himself, I think you're parroting something that is akin to anti-vaccination theory. No credible science supports you.

I will also add, as I said below:

1) ADHD is more heritable than height. If it were "made up" that couldn't be true. Many parents are getting diagnosed when their kids come in, because those of us in the 70s and 80s were very under diagnosed.

2) ADHD has one of the highest co-morbidities of any mental condition, for the precise reason that we don't look "sick" --like depression or schizophrenia--so people assume things like talking too much, bouncing our legs,forgetting details, messy desks and so on, are signs of a character flaw. From the time we were small children our parents and teachers may have constantly berated us, calling us lazy, or stupid. That can give you a raging case of anxiety and/or depression and the science does show that if you treat for ADHD, the depression and anxiety often lift.

Alternatively, if your faith includes the concept of a soul, imagine a soul being irrevocably destroyed; it didn't go anywhere, it was just lost.

Yes, I'm trying to imagine that, and I don't see why it's such a big issue. This seems so contradictory to what people claim their philosophies to be. It's like the environment. People cry about how we're destroying the earth, but they're not actually worried about the earth. They're worried about themselves. It's like how Ian Malcolm comments derisively in The Lost World that humans may not survive, but the earth would be just find. Somewhere some microbes would survive underneath all the dirt blasted everywhere in the apocalypse, and life would start again. I can understand the concept of ceasing to exist. I have not had anyone be able to explain to me why that makes that person so afraid, other than the fact that it just does.

And if you can't imagine an eternity of life interacting with other people in happiness, how exactly do you envision an afterlife?

Hehe, well, I think that's the key point, isn't it? You're talking about interacting with other people in happiness for eternity. I specifically said "forever on this earth", not "forever, period". I don't think you can achieve what you're talking about on this earth. We've had centuries of modern civilization to figure out how to stop both large-scale wars and petty relationship spats, and it's debatable whether we'll reach a level that has no pain. Yes, we've gotten better, especially if you read some of the literature on the topic, but age-old problems remain and I find no reason to think that they'll one day disappear.

Living forever doesn't mean becoming increasingly decrepit. The same processes that create a hard stop at 120 are what make a 100-year-old systematically less healthy than a 25-year-old, and they require the same fixes. Anything that would successfully keep you alive forever must necessarily keep you free of age-related health complications forever.

I actually deal with my worries about this issue in a comment below. I think people go about this subject very selfishly without thinking of the greater consequences.
Did they know how to write a good manual back then. You've got your soldering primer, guides on how to use test equipment... heck, you can probably apply some of the mechanical knowledge to fix your kitchen sink.

This is utter bullshit. This looks like a whitehouse leaked story that is speaking directly to the Chinese saying:

"we could sanction you, and you're economy is pretty shit right now so rein your people in and stop promoting IP theft. Also, with that $180B[0] reduction in your position in t-bonds a few weeks ago, the tables are turning back in our favor"

Look at this quote from the article:

>The sanctions would be a second major shot at China on the issue. In May 2014, the Obama administration secured indictments on economic spying charges against five Chinese military members for hacking into the computer systems of major U.S. steel and other firms.

> The indictments were a strong move, said Rob Knake, a former White House cyber official.

Well, five people isn't that many but it was a show of strength, a strong move if you will, and a definitive stance against the hackers. This all but proves the US is serious about standing up to China.

From the NYT article about that incident:

The move by the Justice Department was almost certainly symbolic since there is virtually no chance that the Chinese would turn over the five People’s Liberation Army members named in the indictment.[1]

Ahh, got it political posturing via the American media doing some public scolding and little else.

EDIT: This is probably the most infuriating part though, snuck in right at the end:

>The sanctions would not be imposed in retaliation for China’s hacks of the Office of Personnel Management databases, which compromised the personal and financial data of more than 22 million current and former government employees and family members. The data heists, which took place last year but were discovered this year, were judged as having been carried out for traditional intelligence purposes — not to benefit Chinese industry.

So, the message we seem to be sending is steal 7% of OUR ENTIRE COUNTRIES PERSONAL DATA, no biggie. Hurt a few companies steel and energy competitive advantage and we will threaten you, then ultimately back down. Why? Because publicly we want to reaffirm our commitment to valuing companies much higher than our own citizens.

> I was just sharing the theory that ADD is a common symptom of many conditions, rather than a true condition in itself

Or that, like many mental conditions, others can mask or appear to be ADD/ADHD. There are plenty of individuals diagnosed with ADD, in which it manifests as a singular facet to an otherwise normal mind. Then there are plenty where it's a manifestation of combinatory factors from other mental illness. It is important to note though, that even as a singular facet, many of the resultant symptoms of ADD overlap with depression, anxiety and Bipolar Disorder (depending on the individual); despite the different effects and regions of the brain targeted. I would actually argue that this is one of the main culprits of its overdiagnosis in the US.

I would recommend reading into Russell Barkley's work. He's one of, if not the, preeminent experts on the Attention Deficit scope of disorders and studied their effects on the brain and really defined the modern idea of what ADD/ADHD are.
> that must be learned by critical analysis of actual code

I agree fully, and won't ever deny that many students simply either never do this or never do it effectively.

There are courses which teach this however (such as OS), and many of them are required for a degree. I feel that the likelihood that someone with a CS degree has had these good practices ingrained in them is higher than someone with no background in CS. In other words, it's a safer bet.
Me too. I used Consolas, but I absolutely love Roboto Mono now.
Setting up a remote digital workspace
I've been using a proportional font since the beginning of the year. It took one week to adjust (things look weird for a few days).

I tried the Input font time ago and didn't like the way it looked, but maybe I have to fiddle with its settings and find a way to make it look nicer. I'm using DejaVu Sans inside emacs now. The only shortcomings with the font are that l (lowercase el) and I (uppercase I) to be indistinguishable, but it's rare that they cause trouble. Uppercase o and zero are distinguishable (zero is narrower), but maybe a marker inside the zero would be handy. Not sure about that. Context usually is enough to make them apart.

Overall a page of code formatted proportionally is much nicer to look at than a monospaced one, so I'm not going back.

It would be nice for editors to support alignment with proportional fonts inside lines (see http://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/). Maybe this is not going to play with Python and similar languages but automatic transformation of spaces into tabs and vice versa has been around for years and we have more CPU cycles than we need now.

> It isn't quite as selective as the author makes it out to be, in that someone with the traditional medical definition of ADHD would not be able to focus on anything for 16 hours straight as you are able to.

"Hyperfocus" (perseveration, really) is a very real aspect of ADD, however it's not the blessing some make it out to be. In fact, Russell Barkley addresses it directly in one of his seminars [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1IEv9CA2vA]. Other things the author said also made me think he had been wrongly diagnosed or has a minor form of ADD, but definitely the "choice of focus" point he makes and how amphetamines affect him.
For me winter arnt bad, snow 4-5 months a year, Jan-feb can be -20 C for periods, average around -10:ish. I love skiing and being outdoor any time of year so I think its great to have seasons.
Elections are already rigged by design because you only get to chose between candidates which have access to money to support a campaign. You only have a choice between candidates that won't upset the status quo. Even worse, not even taking into account the fact that those elected are not legally-bound to do what they were elected for, you elect someone who has a whole program of measures inspired by an ideology with it's irrational traditions and beliefs. Elections are an oligarchic scam. Democracy is when the people vote the laws and control the civil servants.

How is google any different from other media owned by capitalists which are then at the very least able to curate it's content to influence opinion accordingly with their interest?
I took the $300k (2013)
"Every few days I get bored and can't focus, I have ADD". No...that's called being bored.

ADD is wanting to focus on something, but just having no capability of doing so...let alone being able to do so on the shit that bores you.

Do you genuinely believe that metabolism doesn't vary across individuals, or for an individual over time?

It differs a bit. Therefore, the problem is to find out a particular individual's calorie requirements, which is achieved by carefully tracking calories and weight. I.e. if the weight is stable, we found this person's calorie requirements.

Do you think the bodies of all individuals have precisely the same ability to both absorb calories from ingested food, as well as produce motion with the exact same efficiency?

For weight loss purposes it is not so important. There is a top limit on energy to be absorbed, i.e 9 cal from a gram of fat. If a person only absorbs 8, good for him, but there is no way he will absorb 10.

Do you believe enzymes present in the digestive system have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the calories in / calories out calculations?

Again, there is a hard limit on how many calories can be extracted from a unit of food.

Do you think every calorie you put into your body is converted into energy?

For the purpose of weight loss, not so important. You digest only half of what you put in your body - good news, you can eat more and still lose weight. You digest everything - also no big deal. It's just that you cannot magically eat 1g of fat and suddednly gain 100g bodyweight from it.

in controlled lab tests, would all subjects lose weight precisely as predicted by a formula that considered their diet and physical activity

http://examine.com/faq/what-should-i-eat-for-weight-loss/

This page has links to 20 controlled studies, and the calories in - calories out hold. It is when people are allowed to self report, the problems begin.

Sure, everyone's caloric requirements are different, but everyone will lose weight if in caloric deficit. It is just the question of figuring out what will be deficit for this particular person.
You're confusing 'needs a deep knowledge of how components work' with 'needs a deep of knowledge debugging'. A suitably senior developer should definitely be able to deduce where a problem is most likely to be happening, and figure out a way to test it.

In the case you're alluding to, it'd be much more useful to know general information about why any monitoring service might think any IaaS provider is not responding, and have the skills to test that. Knowing details about the components you're using (eg AWS and Pingdom) is much less useful.

No, he is right. In particle physics standard deviation from the normal distribution of results is used to show that a result is significant and new (i.e. a previously unknown partcle) rather than just random noise.[1][2] The 'sigma' notation is then used to show how many standard deviations away the result is, such as in the Higgs discobery, when a '5 sigma' standard was used to confirm discovery. [3]

The references linked probably explain this a lot better than I have.

Is it actually impossible to follow best practices for SVG in Angular
It seems like every tutorial on SVG's in Angular is incomplete, and many people using SVG's in Angular are finding hacky solutions.

First off it seems you must use the image tag if you include an SVG, meaning you cannot color using CSS.

Second you have strange support with how ng-href passes its value to xlink:href

What bothers me the most is the level of disinformation, nobody is outright saying Angular has chosen to not support SVG's.

So am I totally wrong? Please tell me so.

No, it's the other way around. Anti-aliasing is a hack to make low-res displays slightly more palatable. Once the resolution gets good enough, there's no point in anti-aliasing your fonts anymore, and bitmaps start making a lot more sense.
While I think it is possible that the US is engaged in economic spying for profit, there isn't as much info about them providing data to companies directly for profit, and certainly not in that link.

You raise an interesting question - 1) did researchers just not see the feathers until there was the idea that they might be seeing feathers? But I can think of a few other interpretations. 2) Researcher don't systematically review everything that they see in amber but instead systematically search for specific features and ignore others (which is only slightly different than #1), 3) feathers are rare enough that it required a searching an extensive collection, which previously wasn't available, and 4) there are very people in the field.

Quoting from http://www.wired.com/2011/09/dinosaur-feathers-amber/ :

> When study co-author Ryan McKellar first looked at the amber, the University of Alberta paleontologist wasn't even interested in feathers. He was interested in insects. It was only when he and Wolfe noticed odd, hair-like structures that they wondered if something other than bugs might be preserved.

I think that gives weight towards your #1, since it shows that (at least some) researchers will notice things other than what they are looking for, which is my #2.

Then again, this Atlantic article says:

> What originally got me interested in this project was a single feather fragment trapped in a spider web that had been given to Dr. Brian Chatterton. ... As part of this project I was able to go through the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology collection of 3,000 or so inclusions in great detail. After finding a lot of feather fragments in this collection, I had the good fortune of meeting the Leuck family, amateur collectors in southern Alberta, who donated a pair of additional specimens to the University of Alberta.

Wikipedia reports that "Only 11 specimens are currently known", so 8 feathers were found in a set of 3,000 pieces of amber with inclusions. I wonder when Chatterton identified that feather. And when the Leuck family recognized that they might have feathers.

These factors give more weight towards #3 and #4.

I can't figure the balance between the different factors, and the primary paper (at http://www.sciencemag.org/content/333/6049/1619.abstract#aff... ) is behind a paywall. But I am leaning towards your hypothesis.
