Thanks for your service, Daniel.

I think there is a cycle to these things. You start by getting excited by an idea, and work night and day on it. If it's useful, you attract attention and users, and it slowly stops being either exciting or your project. You start to grudge all the work people expect you do to add their ideas to the project, and eventually someone is rude enough to make you call it a day.

The beauty of open source means that this isn't the end of the project. If it's still usefull, someone will get excited by it and start working night and day...
Animal antibiotics are not the same as human antibiotics. LA-200, for instance, will kill a human but is quite effective in treating sick cattle.

I've not had to do anything distributed with ATS that involved sharing data. I mostly used zeromq to send information around and controlled access to resources via processes.

It's a fairly steep learning curve for people new to types. Given exposure to SML it's not too hard to just use that side of things plus linear types. Dependent types and proofs add complexity but hopefully you can avoid it while learning.
I agree - it is quite the hissy fit for what appears to be a minor and resolvable (amongst adults, i.e.) difference in opinion. Imagine if every ER doctor quit because some patient or her relative in the ER questioned her judgment.
To do that you first need to have a way of extending JavaScript with C and/or Fortran. No way numpy can be implemented in pure js or python without being excruciatingly slow.
This is probably offtopic, but the state of Minecraft modding is really bad

* One dude is maintaining Forge/MinecraftCodersPack/Fernflower, which powers pretty much every mod

* Ad-infested forums and adfly links are the preferred way of distributing mods

* The last moddable client version is 1.8.0, 1.9 is out.

* Getting a mod started is really difficult, and it's not clear what should/shouldn't be in source control.

Props to the author for finding a way around all of this.

I don't entirely agree but I can see the appeal of forcing decisions on ignorant people. Someone might want their browser as wide as possible while favoring sites with narrowed content and not even realize why they like the content in a narrow format.
I interviewed there this summer, and as the recruiter was giving me a tour, I pretty much decided I wasn't interested. It was just desks as far as the eye could see. It just looked like the SV version of a sweat shop.

Quite the contrary really. I've done contract and full time work for several (5) SV companies as well as countless interviews with 10s of others. My experiences have been fairly consistent.

Oh agreed, Bootstrap and concise markup are pretty much mutually exclusive, but for admin/business functionality apps I don't think that's a huge issue.

Another factor I'm considering is that a packaged/sold product(s) that use Bootstrap for the UI means that someone purchasing/using the product(s) can make use of a "bootstrap theme" to apply a new basic appearance (fonts, colour scheme, possibly icon set, spacings, etc) pretty much just by loading in a new theme.css file

Not being able to pass functions as values is a show stopper - it's arguably the single most important tenet of functional languages.
The problem is there's also a third category: indiscriminate therapeutic use, or more accurately, indiscriminate prophylactic use.

I have a hearing loss. It takes a little while for people to notice, and I generally do very well in face-to-face, one-on-one interactions, so during interviews, I never bring it up. Back when I was dating, I struggled with whether to bring it up on the first date. On the one hand, it shouldn't matter. But on the other, I would find it deceptive if someone I went on a date with held back information like that (e.g., "I have a kid" or "I have cancer"). It's not necessarily a deal breaker, but I would totally understand if the other person walked away. Fortunately, I found someone, so I don't have to deal with this any more on the dating front.

But for business? It's none of their business. If I get the job, I'll bring it up with my immediate team on Day 1, but otherwise, I don't say anything. For cancer, it's really just none of their business whatsoever.
The saying "Form follows function." is well ingrained among industrial designers, UI designers ought consider it as well.

I just finished reading Flash Boys by Michael Lewis, it was an incredibly enlightening read. To answer your questions:

1) I think it's 350mcs across the board except in the case of firms which conduct suspect activity (canceling orders frequently for example). Adding the delay institutes a level playing field across anyone trading on the exchange. The basis of HFT is leveraging faster connection speeds to gain insight into other's trading strategies and exploiting those strategies, all before the other firm's trade reach the exchange. This is a HIGHLY simplistic explanation dealing with one form of arbitrage and given for brevity on the subject.

2) EDIT: the other guy explained this better!

To your point about 350mcs being absurd to argue over, HFT firms manage regular trading speeds in NANOSECONDS. Look at 350mcs in those terms (350,000 nanoseconds) and it's not such a small number anymore.
Setting aside your opinion on the transitive property of criminality, refugees probably do have some sorts of probationary legal status.. until they become citizens. It is apparently possible to be denaturalized[0], but it's not taken lightly.

I guess you could argue for a new half-citizen class for refugees, or that refugees shouldn't be granted citizenship, but those would be too late to affect how this family has a legal right to be treated.

How much do you sleep per night and how much caffeine do you drink?

I used to nap like that too, until I reduced my caffeine (one cup of coffee in the morning now) and started consistently getting 8-10 hours of sleep per night. I'm much happier and more productive than I ever was when I felt like I was constantly battling exhaustion with afternoon naps and coffees.

Don't mess with complex systems we don't understand. Whether it is GMOS, global climate or administering antibiotics to animals.

It should be incumbent upon those tinkering with complex systems to provide proof of non-harm. Right now, its the other way around, where those who are harmed have to provide proof of harm.

I understand her point to be about passing called functions. Surely passing functions as values (partials, etc) is fine?

"If you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program." --Linus
> Someone smart, somewhere, at some time, did a study which concluded that the human brain can easily hold six or seven items in short-term memory with little trouble, but beyond that, it becomes taxing. This applies nicely to lines of code in a function. Amazingly, after all the above guidelines have been followed, bringing a function’s lines-of-code count down to a maximum of seven is surprisingly easy to do.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magical_Number_Seven,_Plus...

This has got to place as one of the most misapplied research findings in history. If you have an aesthetic preference for 7 as a limit to the number of lines of code in a function, then, sure, do that, but don't pretend there is science behind it (or at least not this particular science.)

Wikipedia quotes the rules from a book written between 265 and 420 AD:

Method of play: Two people sit facing each other over a board, and the board is divided into twelve paths, with two ends, and an area called the "water" in the middle. Twelve game pieces are used, which according to the ancient rules are six white and six black. There are also two "fish" pieces, which are placed in the water. The throwing of the dice is done with a jade. The two players take turns to throw the dice and move their pieces. When a piece has been moved to a certain place it is stood up on end, and called an "owl (梟or驍) ". Thereupon it can enter the water and eat a fish, which is also called "pulling a fish". Every time a player pulls a fish he gets two tokens, and if he pulls two fish in a row he gets three tokens [for the second fish]. If a player has already pulled two fish but does not win it is called double-pulling a pair of fish. When one player wins six tokens the game is won.

> I don't have ADHD in real life, but when I'm hacking, I can't wait that long, so I'll alt-tab and look at HN or whatever for "5-10secs"

You have created a problem for yourself that should not exist: do not task switch to Hacker News, task switch back to your text editor to re-read the code you just added or to work on the next part of the problem; or you could be working on two parts of the project at once and keep rapidly flipping back and forth between them. Your issue is not that you don't have the patience to wait for five seconds: it is that during those five seconds you are doing something useless instead of something else important.

In all seriousness, once you stop thinking of "patience" as "I need to be able to sit on my hands and wait" and instead think of it as "I now have the opportunity to do something else for the next period of time that I should try to make as productive as I can", I don't think ADHD is the problem anymore: the issue is making sure you always have a fun productive side task. You might find yourself accidentally doing things you realize later had low value for the time, but at least you got something done, right?

Put another way, you should embrace ADHD, not fight it: once you get into the habit of distracting yourself with just another task, the 5-10 seconds of compile time no longer matters, as you routinely switch to another task for five minutes every time you compile and it doesn't matter how long the compile took. You can do this with everything: I deal with delays in my web page e-mail client by having two or more clients open at the same time where I am working on two different search and reply tasks.

I work remotely for a SV startup. And no one on the team works stupidly crazy hours. That's why anecdata is so misleading.
Actually I recalled I played with nim about a month ago. Really only created a three liner (print "what's your name", read a string, print "Hello" + string_read). The generated C code was a couple hundred lines. Honestly that turned me off.

I'm looking for a high level language that generates really succint human-readable code. Essentially, what a human would do to create the exact program in C. And doing what I did in nim in 3 lines, really only takes less than 10 lines in C.

It's mostly interesting biologically - it relates specifically to how synapses' vicinity to the main cell body affects their action, or more generally how the spatial configuration of a neuron's connections affects its computational function.

The gist seems to be that more distant synapses can't initiate an action potential, or firing of the neuron, but can prime the neuron to fire in reaction to synapses closer to the cell body. This means that outer synapses can provide 'context', e.g. indicate that prior steps in a sequence have been recognised, while inner synapses can cause firing if the context is fulfilled, i.e. context + necessary condition (recognition of the most recent step in the sequence) = action potential.

It's not computationally surprising, but it is a specific cellular mechanism.

I find my self going trough many new posts to find something more interesting or relevant then even on front page some days. Thank you for your help!
Very interesting series of threads. I'm sad to see this happen. I switched to Debian from RH as my personal choice back at Potato and have used the live build a couple times that were a real help. Some of the thoughts I had while reading this were 'Wow, I never want to get involved with anything to do with package maintaining' and 'It seems like Ubuntu is pretty much just running the whole show now'. Maybe that's an oversimplification but I really don't like the entire direction that Ubuntu is going in which is why I stopped using it as my default desktop OS. Now I kind of feel like I don't have a 'home base' distro anymore. Sigh.

Could you, or anyone, cite the USC on this one - that video images only are allowed in public spaces and/or that audio recording is specifically not allowed?

Just curious what the workarounds are really. If the wiretap style "one party" rules were applied then it seems you could just make sure that you get your own audio on there too; or with audiovisual recording you could sit in the shot somewhere and record people so long as you also captured your own voice. It would seem intent primarily to record others (as opposed to it being incidental to the recording you made) would be close to impossible to prove under such circumstances.

(2) France has something they label the 'force de frappe', which, though vastly reduced could turn a relatively large area of desert into a parking lot overnight, so even if they are part of NATO they don't actually need it to respond on an extremely high casualty level if the French get pissed off enough. Fortunately, France is one of the more levelheaded nuclear powers and has - to date - not even put that option on the table. But I would not take that as a given or forever.
