My experience with oncologists is that they are not in it for the money. There are much less stressful ways of raking in the big bucks in medicine than having to tell a significant proportion of your patients that they are going to die.

Note also that if your theory were true, chemotherapy would always be the treatment of choice over radiation. Maybe you have another theory about Big Isotope you'd like to share?
Well, there's another aspect

Exercise, proper diet and losing weight helps with a lot of conditions (high blood pressure, blood sugar levels, sleep apnea, etc)

But of course it's easier to prescribe the latest (and non-generic available pills).
Ugh. Please no.

Maybe but using a Linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint or similar is more like using an Office package.
It's not quite a magic bullet... because flipping genetic switches may have unintended consequences. Plus, in my reading of the article, I wasn't clear on whether or not flipping this switch would cause body weight to return to a "normal", all other things remaining the same. i.e. with the same consumption and exercise patterns.
You've repeatedly gotten the definition of introversion wrong in this thread. I personally think it's just another way us humans have invented to categorize eachother but basically introversion has nothing to do with confidence or shyness and everything to do with how you "recharge."
No.

The schools provide laptops to the kids. And then make them "kid accounts". Then the school process all of those reports and punishes based on them... or sells them to advertising firms.
Yes, your body will let you know when you are thirsty. But I think it's still important to remind people to drink when they are thirsty (you'd be surprised at how often people try to hydrate by eating instead), and to drink water when they are thirsty (not soda or fruit juice or coffee).
You're making a distinction that I wasn't; what I've said applies to courting just as well.
KDE is the closest to windows. Start with Chakra[1] or KaOS [2] if you want it to "just work" (both are Arch-based). If you want to tinker, go Manjaro KDE.

If you want to have to earn back every single piece of hardware in your computer, and end up becoming a Linux superhero when you're done, install Gentoo.

If you're concerned about privacy or rights, avoid Ubuntu and Redhat distros, as they have a history of exploiting both users and the free software licenses they purport to honor.

The most software-compatible is Debian, but games/steamOS run on all x86-based distributions.

How widespeard of a belief is this in the teaching community? I happen to completely agree with it, but I've also heard the opposite -- suggestions that dropping kids into professional coding environments would give them the feeling they were doing something "for real" and help motivate them. I feel that the cognitive load of these kinds of environments is so high, and the possibility to click something that breaks everything unexplainably so great, that introducing kids to programming using systems whose environment they could completely comprehend seemed like a no-brainer. Was wondering if there was evidence to this intution (or contrary to it).

The school where I work at is incidentally piloting a intro to computer programming course that uses Blender and Python for completely green 10yr olds. I don't see this turning out well; how doesn't it just devolve into a CTRL-C/CTRL-V bonanza?
Ah. Fair enough; I misunderstood the original post. I will admit to not having paid any attention to the 401k policy while I was at Amazon other than ensuring my employee contribution maxed out each year. Also the parent's assertion that you might be vested after as little as two years seems completely off base.

I didn't really care much as Amazon's match didn't amount to very much money (particularly compared to my current immediately vesting 50% match up to 100% of salary or the 18k limit). Regardless, it still feels like a good way to protect their downside losses by conditioning expected compensation payouts against probability of someone actually sticking around that long.

edit: Oh, I see, if you join exactly mid year you might be able to accomplish this. Wow, what a pile of horseshit.
Misleading? Satisfaction is correlated with sexting, in some demographics. Nothing about relationship quality but that.
A portable laptop means a kid can take it home with them for homework and the like, and for older kids, means they can take it between classes. Computing's pretty ingrained in a lot of modern teaching techniques, including things like turning in homework, so anything bolted down just isn't going to work.

Alcohol is a diuretic (unlike coffee apparently). So in the context of the discussion about water, yes alcohol is unhealthy in that it causes dehydration.

If there are health benefits to alcohol (and there may well be), I'm sure that adding rum to your coke won't suddenly make the drink healthy.

ESR has always been self promoting but wow, this takes the cake. I can think of many many people who are far more deserving of patronage than Eric. Has he written a networking stack? A VM system? A file system? In terms of system stuff he's not done much that I've seen.

I'm not saying he has no value but if you viewed this as an investment in systems software I predict the ROI is going to disappoint. If you want to support him for some other reason, go for it.

He's done some stuff, one thing I still use is his rewrite of the pic manual, we share a love for that little language. And he's done lots of little Unix like tools for fairly obscure problems.

But systems programming? That's my wheelhouse and he's never been considered a part of that crowd by the systems people I know. Systems people benchmark themselves against the original unix people (if you are old enough) or Linus or Cantrill or someone similar. In my opinion, ESR is definitely not a peer of those people. Doesn't make him not useful but it's a big stretch for him to be claiming to be a systems programmer. Have to wonder what Linus would say if

I've only been to Germany once and I noticed that I couldn't get painkillers I use in the US over the counter. Some are apparently prescription onlyc (at least in typical doses/bottle in the US), but of course homeopathic junk was on display and ready for sale. I suspect if they liberalized their laws then people would just buy Tylenol or whatever and not some herbal remedy. There's a real egg > chicken problem you're ignoring.

edit: I was in a supermarket where selling drugs is illegal not a pharmacy, where it is legal. Still my point stands, if you're in pain you'll go with whats easier. Putting up barriers to access is a problem. Tylenol should be at the grocery store, not homeopathic junk.

edit2: HN wont let me reply to some comments:

I never understood this knee-jerk defense of the nanny state. Most nations don't have a problem with this, but Germany does and that encourages homeopathic nonsense in that culture, to the point of government funding of it. Lets stop making excuses for failed policymakers.

Observing user requests (including deletes) has been a requirement of the API for as long time. The only thing that I'm surprised by is that it took Twitter this long to crack down. This doesn't mean these Tweets from public officials shouldn't or can't be preserved, it just means that doing so in this manner was always a misuse of Twitter's API.
I say that because society changes and as I changes our needs change. We used to need gigantic factory mills, now we don't. We used to want intertwined road networks, now we're rethinking that.

also this works only in this special case of array being one sized.

an index is an offset to a pointer in memory, shifted by the size of the structure it points to. there is no other way around, no magic tricks about index being between elements.

of course people never exposed from c miss out all of this, and then are left to made up bullshit about how stuff actually works

array index are offset to a memory location, plain and simple; if that requires more explaining than this, then there is the need to get back to tech the basic underpinning on how computer memory and addressing works
Hey there, this post came from our experience building Partyline, a Slack integration to manage project management tools.

If anyone has any questions about how we approached building it let us know, we've learned some things along the way, adopting a pattern to make future integrations with GitHub, Trello etc. follow a similar interface. Building for Slack is awesome.

Is anyone else currently building Slack integrations? For local development have you used a secure tunnel service?(ngrok or other) It would be interesting to hear about other peoples dev workflows with Slack.

Partyline is all JS with Hapi.js, using ngrok to help in local dev.

> Why do some people's bodies burn off excess calories through things like non-exercise activity thermogenesis and other store it as fat?

There is a very limited degree to which this can happen. The way some people eat, if it all burned by thermogenesis, they would die of overheating (hyperthermia).

Fat storage is saving them from cooking in their own juices.

I don't know anyone who has ever had a positive interaction with a recruiter.
The role you were hired FOR, the languages used, the industry, and the company stage are all important details.

Some recruiting firms are very specialized and can charge a premium because of it.
True. But I'm not so worried about unintended consequences. Nature flips bits all the time, randomly. We're in no more danger than average, trying it ourselves. Most bits are there so they can be flipped, and that helps in at least some environments.

Probably this bit will just make you tend to burn fat more often. Which is pretty significant!

Out of curiosity, what manner of saving them would you suggest instead? I'm not sure it's possible in an automated way without technically violating their TOS.
Not defending this particular library, but there are some good reasons to use React abstractions even for simple things like a button. Some examples:

* If the form deals with state and validation, then <Button> (as opposed to <button>) can automatically disable itself if the form's input isn't valid.

* It can incorporate useful features like preventing redundant clicks (to prevent duplicate submits) and showing submit progress (eg., replace button label with a spinner while it's pending).

* You can more easily add features that you would have to manually wire with an HTML <button>: For example, let it take a "tooltip" prop that will automatically show a tooltip on hover.

As an aside, I should add that I wouldn't code up a "form with submit and cancel" like this. I would have the form component itself render the submit and cancel buttons, and call it something like SubmittableForm. This way, it can be in control of the UI (eg., validation, button placement, etc.) and submit logic.

As for that htmlFor thing, I don't know why this library does it that way. There's no reason it couldn't correctly wire up a "for" attribute itself on the HTML label element.

I know a lot of people who believe this stuff, and it's never about the money, except in a vague "big pharma wants to make big profits by killing us" sort of way.

They genuinely believe that mainstream medicine is outright harmful, and that the alternative stuff is better. This remains true even when the mainstream medicine is highly affordable, or even when the person in question has good health insurance.

I saw an interesting case recently. Somebody stepped on a rusty nail (I didn't know that was something that actually happened!) and of course they weren't up to date on their tetanus shot, since vaccines are deadly poison. They asked friends what to do and got a variety of answers, most being some variation on "whatever you do don't get the shot, it will kill you," with various crazy alternative cures proposed. Ultimately they went to an urgent care clinic and got the vaccine. This was described after the fact in a sort of "I know I shouldn't but I didn't have the willpower," the way a normal person might describe how they broke down and ate a tub of ice cream even though they're trying to lose weight. It seems that people still understand on some deeper level that traditional medicine really does work, even if they believe it's "bad" otherwise.

It ultimately looks to me like a variation on religion, where traditional medicine is seen as being sinful and alternatives are seen as righteous. You might come up with rationalizations about why, say, eating ham is bad for you, but ultimately a religious person with a pork prohibition will avoid it because it's just not right. And someone who believes eating pork is sinful can still easily end up wanting it, so it ends up being a weird internal struggle.

On another note, at least among the people I know there is vast overlap between people who use alternative medical treatments and people who believe in stuff like chemtrails. I'm pretty sure there's no financial basis for that one!

_It used to be popular, and still is in some circles, to debate whether programming languages ought start array indexing at 0 or 1_

this is an exemplary case of citation needed if I ever saw one. maybe it's a valid debate for programming languages that doesn't allow people to do pointer arithmetic, which already restrict the field a lot, but even then that's sound as part of the 4GL bullshit that never really took off, and for good reasons
This doesn't pass a cursory glance at reality. Poor countries like India and China are building western-style hospitals as fast as they can, not ayurvedic clinics and temples. And very affluent areas of this country (USA) are the places where you find vaccine denial and demand for alternative medicine.
I think you're not thinking critically enough in interpreting what he had said.

More or less, he had said 'I felt it was unhealthy 7 years in advance'. The actual 'prediction' was only a year or two from the event in question; 'the market didn't make sense' and reacting to that.
> thus stimulating hunger.

Then go hungry every now and then once you know the causal link. It's not like it's an irresistible force to which you have no choice but to succumb.

> Pitting will-power against metabotically driven hunger ends, in the long-term, with biology winning every time.

In my experience [sample size: 1] it's entirely possible to ignore hunger for quite some time.

Additionally there are options such as adding filler ingredients that help with reaching satiety with fewer calories. Carbohydrates with a low glycemic index which get absorbed more slowly, thus avoiding a boom-bust cycle as far as your blood sugar levels are concerned are also something you can adjust. This also helps staving off the next hunger for more hours.

It's certainly not an inevitable "I'm hungry, therefore I must eat and grow fat" link that can't be broken.

Job System 2.0: Lock-Free Work Stealing – Part 1: Basics
Matlab does quite well?
I've had good experiences with smaller recruiters. Generally, if a recruiter calls you and asks for an SSN to apply for a job then just hang up because it will be a waste of time to talk to them.

If, however, they want to meet in person, that's a sign that they're likely to match you with jobs that you have a reasonable chance of getting.
The Spotify client on linux is a beta application made by some developers for themselves because they wanted it. Spotify released it because they are a fairly decent company and why not?
