Yes, but what's not logical is cheating by means that seem so blatant as to be sure to be discovered and potentially vaporizing all the gains you made by cheating in the first place.
I love the way they used color and plain English to describe that function. It would be awesome if a general app for this sort of color coded simple translation were available to help kids learn about mathematics. It'd have to be more inclusive for people with dichromacy and anamalous trichromacy, but there could be settings in the app to compensate for that.

Also worth mentioning, a port of the Django REST Framework browser to Flask - http://www.flaskapi.org/ - which doesn't do as much as DJRF, but it's nice to have the same browser, which is great.

I actually like Django's querysets a little better than SQLAlchemy's, but most other things better in Flask. I may be a heretic.

The declarative API in SQLAlchemy requires much more work to set up relations, and the Django way of being able to chain relations in a query with "__" is pretty friendly in ways that I like.
A thing with this study is that they measure survival mostly in an age bracket with relatively low chance of death, but also in a bracket where chances of death by accidents due to lifestyle are relatively high.

A base death rate of 2.2 per 10k years is one per 4500 years. Since you live about 80 years, the sample is skewed towards the not-so-likely to die. Perfectly acceptable btw, but it makes inferences to what happens to the life expectancy Curve harder.

My prior would be: the cumulative survival curve for ADHD is markedly lower in the ages 5-30s (one dies more often when at risk due to accidents), and then converging to the curve UNLESS the medicines are harmful as well.

My point in other words: aMRR is a fine measure, but you really want to identify causes to shifts in (parts of) the survival function. For now it's a finding that just confirms prior beliefs.

[edit] Confirmation by the same author [1]. All that would be cool now is estimates of survival functions. They must have some people in their dataset dying of old age.

"Children with ADHD had an increased risk of injuries compared with other children. Treatment with ADHD drugs reduced the risk of injuries by up to 43% and emergency ward visits by up to 45% in children with ADHD. Taken together with previous findings of accidents being the most common cause of death in individuals with ADHD, these results are of major public health importance."

I agree with you. This is not communism at all. Two of the most defining characteristics of Communism are power centralization and common ownership while modern FOSS fortunately don't possess of these qualities.

IMO, FOSS is more leaning to the socialist/anarchist/libertarian side of the political spectrum with decentralization, resources sharing and distribution and disdain for authority at its core.

I tried every variation I could get to work including tornado, asyncio, and pypy. In my simple "how many websockets can I open" tests python would start erroring by 10,000 (no Django, just an empty websocket) while node hit 40,000 and was still climbing. Eventually I concluded it was a case of "with sufficient thrust pigs fly just fine". I still like python; just doesn't seem to be worth the effort to try to adapt blocking libraries into a non-blocking use case.
I think in Ancient Rome this was a tradition. That those on the Senate would have some of their own lead the armies into battle (like in the Third Punic War).
I was thinking along the opposite lines: the F-35 has been a giant shitshow designed to get foreign militaries to waste efforts trying to "duplicate" it.

It'd be even more hilarious if the Chinese stole the plans to the F-35 and produced it verbatim. They'd realize they would have wasted a great deal of espionage and manufacturing effort on producing the lamest fighter ever.
Do you think that those design decisions are not backed by data demonstrating better engagement levels versus other interface layouts? I'm not saying that their interface is perfect, but I don't see how you can make sweeping claims about their data science capabilities based on your one data point of disliking their interface.
> I'd rather see a language become the best $LANGUAGE it can possibly be, for whatever that $LANGUAGE is, than try to bolt things on that pull it away from its core focus.

On the other hand, there are instances where types are useful, even in dynamically typed languages. One of them is optimizations. The job of a compiler gets much easier if it can assume that a given variable will always be, say, an integer and nothing else.
True that article ignores passengers using only tubes or trains.
But I think the article suggests global congestion may be improved by slowing down certain parts of a system.

Even considering only people using just the tube, the tube station can switch only a finite number of passengers in and out of tubes. If a system has two bottlenecks, improving the narrower bottleneck will result global improvement only until that bottleneck is no longer the narrowest.

It is possible that increasing tube throughput would increase arrival rates at the destination stations.
And if we consider congestion as nonlinear to number of passengers arriving at the station, then this might decrease the throughput at that station (beyond some threshold arrival rate); (I think this transition is similar to a phase change).
That would mean the second bottleneck would effectively becoming slightly narrower in capacity, and thus the global throughput decreases.

The trick would be to improve the narrowest bottleneck; but not too much, that it would cause such phase transitions at other points in the network. At which point, we need to start looking at other bottlenecks.
Yes, I've read that paper, and I read 23&Me's blog post on the trait from 2008 (http://blog.23andme.com/23andme-and-you/tackling-tongue-curl...). They both agree in saying that tongue rolling is not a Mendelian trait, and they both agree there appears to be a heritable component which affects several tongue-shaping traits.

I'm asking because the 23&Me reports don't really include the contextual information to appreciate the subtlety of non-Mendelian traits. If people see this and come to the false conclusion, then they're likely to come to similar false conclusions abotu the parts of the report that touch on actual health-related issues.
I'm pretty comfortable in SQL but I've found myself lazily reaching for SQLA recently to run queries that I would normally do in SQL. For example

session.query(Thing1).join(Thing2).join(Thing3).filter(Thing3.name.like('%easy%'))

I'll be in the middle of firing up psql and then I'll think about writing out my joins and laziness wins out. For more complex stuff I normally go back to SQL, but mostly because I'm less familiar with constructing some of the more complex queries in SQLA (though I'm slowly pushing myself to learn more).

I think the Bookout v. Toyota case is a pretty good example of how culpability alone is an insufficient motivator and how an add process (e.g. external audit) could have prevented a tragedy.

Michael Barr's review of Toyota's ECU code (http://www.safetyresearch.net/Library/BarrSlides_FINAL_SCRUB...) showed numerous compliance issues with established industry best practices (80,000 violations of MISRA-C) and failure to even follow Toyota's much laxer internal coding standards (32% rule violation). Toyota shipped uncertified versions of their code and the design and behavior of that code prevented defect detection.

> "It is important to be self-aware about what loneliness does to your brain — that it primes it to be hypervigilant to threats and go into self-preservation mode. Feeling lonely might mean you need to reinterpret your view of your social interactions, says Dr. Cacioppo. For example, if you feel a friend has slighted you, ask yourself if you were actually hostile and in an isolation mode first and your friend is reacting to your behavior. “You need to understand that you may be responsible,” says Dr. Cacioppo."

Interesting. This suggestion sounds very similar to advice given to those diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (a condition that's thus far resisted all attempts at being renamed "emotional dysregulation disorder"). Recent research seems to indicate that the defining features of BPD are: 1) the presence of emotions that are disproportionately negative and intense for the situations that caused them and 2) an inability to subdue those negative emotions and alleviate anxiety.

In other words, if a family member routinely says "I love you" at the end of every phone call but forgets to say it one time, then there's a decent chance that someone with BPD would start wondering if their relative hates them for some reason.

No, "you" can't wing them in any generalizable manner (why isn't everyone doing it, then?). For high paying gigs (not merely well-paid ones), you need a reputation. There are several ways to build a reputation, and contributing to a popular OSS project is one such way.

An interesting, tangential point is that OSS is probably the most pure meritocratic way to build a reputation -- it does not rely on gaining access to a powerful network (which relies on gaining access to a slightly less powerful network, which relies on ...) or other variations of more-or-less controlled luck.

Ask HN: Softwar Developpement Certificate, what to expect?
I'm an aerospace engineer, been working for 10 years now and not liking it mainly because of the lack of creativity in this field, big industry, old school mentality, too big to fail (like banking) and extremely inefficient.

I don't think I have the energy to learn software on my own. I feel I need the structure of academia. I signed up for a certificate in software developpement, hoping that these tools will allow me to apply my math/logic skills to solve problems in a creative/efficient way. I don't really have a specific goal with this certificate, it's for fun and to take a break from work. Where can this take me? Does it seem like the right thing to do? What potential interesting outcomes do you see for my career profile? I'm taking a shot in the dark...

Clojure core.typed is not there yet, but aims to support exactly same thing (like type racket).
Howdy, folks! I'm the founder of Devprovement. I'll be around for a while this morning and this afternoon to answer any questions you might have.

I love to learn new things and I think one of the most important things someone can do to continue to improve in their careers is learn new skills and improve existing ones.

So, I created Devprovement to help software developers learn new skills and earn more money because of it. Software development and engineering seems like one of the clearest examples of an industry where as people learn more and gain more experience, they get paid more too. So, I want to provide developers with the best resources for learning new skills at huge discounts (50% to 90% off the normal price).
It's an interesting thought exercise IMO. Keep in mind that QM is widely regarded as "counterintuitive" even by scientists, and as far as we can tell, it's the intuitions that are wrong. I.e. it's not QM that's crazy. QM is normal. We are crazy.

So when http://www.adn.com/article/20100401/study-homeless-teens-she... report about the number of homeless rural teens in Alaska, who go to the city to find a job but don't have high school diploma or equivalency.

Vicious cold? Check. Impoverished? Check. Rural? Check. And yet there is homelessness.

http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stat... is titled "States Struggle With 'Hidden' Rural Homelessness"

> But in Fredericksburg, as in other small towns, suburbs and rural corners of the country, the homeless are often hidden, out of sight and mind, hard to reach and hard to help, say people who work with the homeless. ...

> But rural areas are more likely to be poor, with limited transportation, making it that much harder for the homeless to get to a center that can provide counseling, a housing voucher or medical care.

http://www.endhomelessness.org/pages/rural says :

> Many people think of homelessness as strictly an urban phenomenon because homeless people are greater in number and more visible in urban areas, but homelessness is also pervasive in rural areas.

> Rates of homelessness among rural areas vary widely. According to the Alliance’s Geography of Homelessness report, there are approximately 14 homeless people on average for every 10,000 people in rural areas, compared with 29 homeless people out of every 10,000 in urban areas.

All this suggests that you simply didn't see the homelessness that was there when you were a child.
> is that sample size is extremely small (19 individuals)

This is not meaningful. I'm not sure why this keeps getting repeated, but it's entirely possible to get significant results from small sample sizes. No comment on the rest of the study, but I just don't think sample sizes are worth mentioning, and I wouldn't even call that "extremely small". This is what significance testing is for, after all.

With regards to self-reporting, I read a very nice defence on this in a book on the scientific study of consciousness [1], which basically says that we need to let go of this idea that self-reporting is somehow "unscientific", because some phenomena only exist as experiences (and I'd think loneliness is one of them), and therefore the scientific study of these experiences has to incorporate self-reporting on some level. You can't get a blood test for loneliness.

I usually watch shows in a similar way, which is also why I try to wait until all of the first season is available on-demand before starting a show. I'm also fairly cautious with shows and waiting until the full season has run allows a lot of critical opinion to have already surfaced.

Regarding the Wire, I've watched the series three times now and I'm still not sure the first episode is a good hook, or I even started to get hooked. What was a big surprise to me the third time through is how I still get transfixed on season 4.

One case where I was hooked by the third episode but ultimately gave up on is Orange is the New Black. I found most of the first season fairly compelling, but by the end, it was apparent the show was going down a road that I wasn't interested in. I would have preferred to keep the series relatively realistic, run a season or two in prison and then focus the end on the transition back. Instead, they kept the main character in prison, seemingly indefinitely, and started putting a lot more focus on the other characters. I skipped around season three a little bit and was deeply disappointed at how it treated meaty topics like private prison profiteering so flippantly. I suppose The Wire did set the bar unreasonably high for dealing with those sorts of topics.
Also I don't see HP.
How does SQLAlchemy compare to the Django ORM (if it would be a stand-alone package, which it sadly isn't)?

Yes, that's important to control in a properly performed experiment. I don't have the access to the whole paper, maybe somebody who does will write here with more details.

> doesn't seem to have a clue what loneliness is like, nor having no friends. All the suggestions assume you have time and money to spend too; perhaps that's right for a WSJ audience. "Accept social invitations, even if you don’t feel like going out." seems quite clueless

It seems you are the one who reads that as "time and money." I read this only as, if somebody calls you to come out and play, don't say "thanks I'll rather play with myself." (heh) And typically we have more opportunities to do something than we accept or even recognize as such. Yes, it's hard to do anything but the work if our work week is 80 work hours, but it's also something that we have to care about and not use as an excuse for doing nothing but the work and as the only purpose of our lives. The article also mentions "get your calendar out and map out your social life."

Honest question, have you ever worked for a bank? Many still run on AS/400 mainframes in the backends. Knowing what I know, that comment actually couldn't be further from the truth. Banks are insanely risk adverse, and rightfully so. If it works perfectly, they absolutely will not change it, even if the newer shinier tech has real benefits.

Things that I've used in sqlalchemy that(by a quick search) aren't in django (as far as I know):

composite primary keys
complex indexes (functional etc)
arrays + json(these are in django, but I think only recently and before that in contrib)
server side cursors
the non-orm part(the lower layer)
sqlalchemy-alembic (also in django, but only recently I think, still probably less features)
server_default (define a default value for a column that will be applied to the sql-schema and not just model.field)
more customization to the lower level db driver(psycopg2, maybe this is also supported in django)
Use the models + library outside of your web app (ex: in several non-request-serving processes )

There are alot more features that I haven't used/don't know/didn't need.
