Good points about dry mouth and grinding. Also I wonder if crack and amphetamines are directly acidic.

Are you sure though that pleasure doesn't affect the immune system? It seems logical that it would from an evolutionary point of view. Pleasure and its anticipation are forms of arousal like stress; downgrading non-essential or non-urgent systems is worth it for a chance at mating or a successful kill during a hunt. It seems to me that levels of inflammation and tooth decay increase in my body after several days of over-indulgence -- including activities like eating cake!
If someone is not a relative or intimate partner, there's no easy way to get a civil restraining order against someone in New York the way you can in domestic cases. There either has to be a criminal prosecution to get a criminal restraining order, or you have to retain a lawyer and file a full-blown lawsuit in a court of general jurisdiction.

It should definitely be enough for police to act if you establish that you demanded that contact cease and and that it continued unabated. In this case it seems that the author may not have clearly established it, perhaps did not understand the best way to frame this, and police were unhelpful and didn't want to be involved unless there were threats or a domestic incident involved (where mandatory arrests come into play).
You were doing so well.

> There is the situation where defending the Constitutional order against a clear threat most effectively demands actions that are questionable impinge on some rule of the Constitution, in that case, its at least arguable that working right up to the limit -- and perhaps even testing the limit -- is demanded.

Which, while technically correct (The Best Kind Of Correct), isn't the sort of thing the FBI runs into very often. Because the FBI is not constitutionally obligated to succeed in apprehending every criminal. If the FBI wanted to embody the principle of letting 10 guilty men go free before convicting one innocent then they would in practice run into a lot fewer prickly constitutional edge cases.
Why do you bring politics into this? This was neither conservative nor liberal bubble. Both sides are guilty, this is central planners vs the market. I saw the bubble for what it was, most of my friends looked at me strangely, thinking I was probably jealous, because I was not interested in buying a $2M shack masquerading as a house.

The first course in differential equations is ordinary differential equations. Facility with that subject is needed before you can tackle more useful topics like control theory and partial differential equations.

To a surprising extent, WHAT you learn about ODEs does not matter as much as developing enough familiarity with them that you can layer more complex stuff on top.

That said the course I took focused on systems of differential equations rather than second order differential equations. There is nothing like trying to do Laplace transforms of matrices of functions to demonstrate how important it is to avoid careless errors...

MIT's Sensor-Laden Masking Tape Gives You Computer by the Foot
I'm a big Angular fan though I've done some React stuff as well. I think a reason to go with Angular 2 is the batteries-included approach (and TypeScript is cool once you get used to it, though certainly not required). With React you do end up having to hunt down libraries for everything beyond the view layer, which can mean a lot of random 3rd party libraries in various states of support. The flipside is the ecosystem is growing so could overcome those challenges and the architecture is simple and elegant. Honestly, I think ng2 is going to be really popular despite the backlash (and lack of HN representation) and so far the response I'm seeing is really positive once people dig in. I don't think you can go wrong with either though.

I'm as strong a supporter of a citizen's right to encryption as anyone, but I actually think that Mr. Comey's testimony was accurate and forthright, and his framing of the issue of encryption as it relates to the capabilities of law enforcement was appropriate and well-reasoned.
We put an explanation here (hope it's OK to post the link):

https://octopus.com/blog/build-your-binaries-once

A real world example of this is that when .NET 4.5 shipped, the compilers in .NET 4.5 for 4.0 code produced different output than the .NET 4.0 compilers would have. So installing a system-level update on Windows on a build server would mean Test and Production got different results:

http://blog.marcgravell.com/2012/09/iterator-blocks-missing-...

Also, releases move through environments at different times:

Monday: 1.0 goes to Test

Tuesday: 1.1 goes to Test

Wednesday: 1.0 goes to Prod

Between 1.0 and 1.1, perhaps you updated Node, or went to Python3 - so your build server had to be updated. Reproducing Monday's build is going to be more difficult the more time that goes by.

As you said, truly reproducible builds are hard. Why not just zip the artifacts and use the same files, instead of rebuilding?
I attended the panel today when this was announced, and regarding the omission of Ralph Merkle, both recipients explicitly acknowledged him by name. Diffie specifically said that they built upon his prior work.

It also occurred to me that Moxie Marlinspike was in the unusual position of being the only one on the panel of five not to have (yet!) received a Turing Award. (He came off very well nonetheless.)

(In addition to Diffie and Hellman, the other two Turing-awarded panelists were Ron Rivest and Adi Shamir.)
Right. More like "chose to not to force faster growth than made sense for the business model".

Still, rare and commendable.
I agree in a practical sense. I doubt Mailchimp has a problem with the case I've described.

I just think the wording of their AUP is too vague. If taken at face value, it invalidates a lot of legitimate use cases. That just means all their customers have to bend that rule a bit, and nobody knows just how far they can bend it. It's a shitty place to be as a customer.

"One creates the first version in Node.js/Python as its quick to build and iterate an app."

That's the narrative, but I don't find Python (I have minimal experience with Node) faster to write in any way but library availability, and very painful to refactor without the ability to reach for a type checker.
I've really enjoyed working with PM2 in production for the last 4 months... although our ramp up has been slow.
> all you're looking for is someone's ability to conjure from memory an appropriate approach

So, it's worth mentioning that there are two types of algorithm questions.

You seem to be complaining about the "show me merge sort" style, where the interviewer picks a commonly-taught well-known algorithm. I have, in practice, seen this style exactly once (maybe I'm missing a broader trend, though) and it thus comes off as a strawman.

The other type involves solving problems that most interviewees, by shear numbers, can't possibly have seen before. Here, you're testing for on-the-spot thinking, not memorization. This is what I actually see when I interview.

Because in practice, how many people need to implement merge sort? 99% of them should call `List.sort` and be done. But the algorithm for traversing this strange dual-tree structure or whatever probably isn't in the standard library, and I do need someone who can do that.

Speaking as an occasional author, by the time I've finished the however-many drafts and several rounds of edits, I'm completely blind to the manuscript's mechanical flaws, and need someone else to point out to me the Spoonerisms, unfortunately euphemistic word choices, or even just that I've dedicated my book to "My parents, Ayn Rand and God."

Also, I say again: copyeditors and proofreaders are cheap. Doing that work myself makes about as much sense as doing anything else I could outsource cheaply.

I'm excited to see Mozilla's experiments in the IoT space, but I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the projects being undertaken here. For example, is the software here intended to act as a proxy between connected devices and your access point, possibly via flashing your router?

I'm also curious if Mozilla is building in automatic updates in all of this software from the ground-up, seeing as how that appears to be the fundamental weakness of everything related to the IoT.
My major is computational math, from 15 years ago, from leading Russian university, so it is just anecdata, and by no means should be generalized.

I absolutely love mathematics, for me it is the embodiment of pure beauty. Still, I positively, absolutely hated the sophomore course of ODEs. The way it was taught was extremely abstract: here is the equation, this is integration, this is separation, this is your SLP, now go deal with it.

It was totally pointless and life-sucking. It was not until I got to the 3rd year and learned about specific applications in physics (like heat dissipation, strings, and springs), and later in finance (stochastic calculus) and biology (e.g. Lotka-Volterra) when I realized how many wonderful and extremely useful applications they have.

Have this course started with that, things would be completely different.
It's too late to edit my post, but thank you for pointing it out, I was always perplexed by that.

Leaving aside the secondary markets for a moment---which yes, I agree with you on---do you feel ripped off buying video games online? They are, after all, just really large files.
I generally do that sort of thing(staging/destaging lines and chunks) in my editor. If I could shift the merge tool stuff into my editor quickly I would do that as well.
The reason is that it reduces context switching and difference between environments: sure, I could spend hours making the fonts, colours, and keybindings the same between the git gui and my editor; I could get really good at switching to the window; etc. But even a slightly worse version of it in the editor is going to be way less work.

At least, that's how I see it.

Also, I'm sure there must be a PPA or something for gitg on Ubuntu, if you really like the tool.

> Contrary to popular belief, physical production is NOT the single largest part of a book's cost. In fact, even before ebooks, the cost of paper and ink and shipping was actually a pretty negligible part of the final cost.

Yup. For a typical hardback, the physical costs (printing, shipping, and storing) are about $3.25. Here's an article from a few years ago that looked at the money side of paper books and ebooks: [1]

Professor Fate! (Wait, we're just naming random people who come to mind, right? That's what this thread is about, I gather?)
We see climate change affecting the Middle East as it dries up sources of water and forces people to migrate or move to the populated cities that have a water source.

It has also caused a refugee crisis as people can't get food or water and flee their nation to go some place else to live.

It has also allowed terrorists to rise up in Syria and Iraq and take over weakened cities that had water sources dry up and people left unable to defend those cities from takeover by terrorists.

So I imagine back during the Ice Age, people moved around as well as struggled to survive. Some lost their food and water sources and turned to warfare on other tribes to survive. People who hung out in southern Europe where the climate was not too bad had a better chance of survival than people who lived on ice sheets up north.

> The free perks are great, but are not the core reason that make Google's work environment compelling

> they don't offer unlimited time off, although I know you don't mean that literally

My comment wasn't limited to just Google. It was aimed at the all the software companies where often young employees rave about food or other benefits (some of which are listed as literally unlimited holiday time) and are often very quiet about the actual work itself.

I had a colleague who worked on-site for a client that is a reasonably well known game company. He (and his gf, then wife) moved from Australia to LA for this project, and then I spent a few weeks onsite on a different project for the same client.

I heard about all the 'perks' employees (and to some extent long term contractors like himself) got, and it paints a rosy picture. This company even expected all staff to spend a % of their day playing the company's own game. (To the point that they arranged for us to play while on-site, and no amount of "No thanks, I'm not really into computer games" would be heard.)

Then I went and actually worked with some of their people on one of their projects. Then I asked him about something technical to do with the work or what he was doing.

It was literally as I expressed earlier - the actual work was a fucking nightmare of bad technical debt, shitty internal politics and ridiculous priorities.

Maybe this is all an American concept - the "I made an app to help us choose what to have to lunch together" thing on HN a few months ago gave me the same idea. I have never taken or left a job because of the 'perks'. I've absolutely left jobs because the work didn't interest me, or I wanted to do something else.

Honestly it's also hard to see how those sort of places will continue in the future as remote working becomes more common place.

So there's no hope for his rehabilitation? I hardly think so. You also seem to believe that prisons exist merely to punish rather than deter and/or rehabilitate - which, incidentally, reveals the most cursory of understandings of the penal system.
Actually, most of my experience is from the science fiction/fantasy genre. Genre buyers are willing to tolerate sub-par production---and let's be honest, the pulp paperbacks of yesteryear were not exactly going to give Edward Tufte a designgasm, so this isn't a new trend, just an old trend which has found new life in a new medium.

That said, the market for freelance book production people is actually much better than it was a few years ago, for precisely the reason that there's just more money in the market now.
"Don't message me SO MUCH or I will BLOCK YOU" sounds exactly like "I told my cyber stalker that if he didn't ease up on how much he was messaging me - my phone was beeping multiple times per day, bothering me at all hours - he could forget about breakfast in the morning from here on out - the next time he showed up at my apartment, I'd send him home with the night bus as soon as we were done having sex." (not a quote, I'm making fun here.)

Like, seriously. They're still facebook friends through all this?

The woman in the article says "When I got a Facebook account in 2006 he found me again and, not wanting to be rude, I accepted his friend request. He often sent me rambling accounts of his day-to-day life. I usually didn’t respond, but sometimes I messaged back if I was bored or lonely."

Oh really? Sometimes you messaged back if you were bored or lonely?

This is how you end up in a happy marriage with the guy twenty years later after you've finished your studies and want to start settling down.

The guy's behavior is COMPLETELY BATSHIT INSANE and there is ZERO excuse for ANY of what is described.

At the same time, he's not a stalker until she unequivocally tells him that she would not like any further contact and asking him to move on. I cannot believe that she is a writer, yet this bad at communication.

What is so hard about saying, "I don't want this. Leave me alone." Jesus H. Christ. I hope I never, ever have anything to do with a woman like this one, because who knows if she really consented when I make out with her in my or her bedroom?

Does she have an inability to open her mouth and communicate what is going on? Jesus.

All that said, (I only glanced through the article) the guy's behavior completely surpasses anything even remotely justifiable. He's in the wrong. She's in the wrong for not telling him.
I think the bigger issue here is that Node is blocking while a computationally intensive algorithm is running whereas Go can have multiple goroutines still serving requests while running the algorithm.
And, you know, the multitude of peer-reviewed studies on the effects of this conditioning (causation is harder to measure, of course).

In case people get ideas from this and are unaware, California and several other states are the "other" ones that forbid this without consent from both parties in certain circumstances.

That is really, really hard to believe. I can't say that I remember any discussion of applications in my differential equations course (also at a Big Ten school), but I'm positive the professor could have provided them.

I didn't have a particular need for examples in a course, as differential equations were held up as the holy grail of math by my father, an optical engineer -- he used them at work fairly often, and frequently they were what made him better able to solve a problem than an engineer who wasn't comfortable using them.
