In Glasgow, among certain subcultures, 'fuck' or 'fucking' is basically meaningless.

I one took a long taxi trip across Glasgow. The driver was cheery, amiable, very Glaswegian, and almost incomprehensible; and I'm Scottish! I could understand about 50% of everything he said, because 50% of what he said was 'fucking'. He used it as an adjective on (as far as I could tell through his accent) every noun. It seemed to be used as a flavour enhancer --- good things were fucking great; bad things were fucking awful. Rain was fucking wet, the roads were fucking slippery, as it was nighttime it was fucking dark, etc, etc. It certainly wasn't being used in its literal sense.

I'm not part of that subculture, but I didn't find it the slightest bit offensive, merely interesting and rather weird.

It's a good study from high quality researchers, but to be fair there is a study almost every week for the last 50 years saying something like this.
That's why we need mandatory pre-registration and publication for trials: You have to announce in advance when you're doing a trial, and you have to publish the results afterwards, so that you can't cherry-pick the ones you like.
Are you attributing all these wars to this one single guy? I know these wars are related, but putting all the blame just on him seems a bit... unfair.
I'm curious what JOE editor[1] uses. With its syntax highlighting turned off, that program can open really huge files much quicker than vi or emacs.

A quick Google search gives me this from the first result[1]:

"Then, any remaining profits from the company can be distributed to the owners as dividends, which are taxed at a lower rate than income."

Though it doesn't specify what that rate is. Most of the other results indicate that the additional distributions beyond salary simply avoid self-employment tax. So it would appear that distributions beyond salary incur less tax, but are taxed higher than the current capital gains tax rate. It's also important to note that distributions are taxed - if you leave the money in the company, it's not taxed until it's actually distributed to the owners.

Your examples sound more like bugs in the Linux kernel or gdb.
Try "joe". (Force the syntax highlighting off though. I wish they had never added it.)

In fact, most of the cost of train construction is not labor (except in the US). That's why the Egypt, China and India (low labor costs) aren't significantly cheaper than Spain or Korea (high labor costs).

https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/comp...

If only I thought of this - then I might have cited a Spanish construction project in the very comment you replied to, so that no one could cluelessly bring up labor costs.

In any case, even if your claim were true, there is an easy solution. Import Indians to get the job done. The goal is fixing our crumbling infrastructure rather than union featherbedding, right?

"For some, they want editing to have high physical efficiency - using keyboard shortcuts and command keys, maybe the odd time the mouse comes in handy. Others want their editors to be virtually efficient - to make the most out of their resources (RAM, disk space) - or to be "small". "

In 2015, I would think that most (i.e. > 90%) want an editor that's makes them most efficient as developers.

A little side project I have is to create a set of notes on editors I've used, or want to use, so I can compare them, and use each more efficiently.

I don't understand the point of the article. Using optimizations in a compiler is fully voluntary act. You can just compile everything with -O0 and be done with it.

Some of us actually do need them. Soft realtime programs (games as an example) are perfect example where they are crucial. Reaching same level of performance using non optimizing compiler would balloon the development costs up multiple times.

I would understand the complaint if compilers would mess things up and you couldn't get around it.

The effect is probably small

The body is very efficient at turning protein and fat into energy

However the issue with proteins/amino-acids is that the body actually needs them and can't convert carbs or fats into them (you actually need some of the amino-acids).

Maybe the cure is to limit your protein intake but that poses other problems
BizSpark is the way Microsoft encourages side projects/startups to use MS SQL, but yes, this removes a hurdle, and separating the choice of OS from the choice of DB is good.

That said, I use MS SQL both at work and on my personal projects thanks to BizSpark.

Oracle IS the gorilla, but with their recent pricing/licensing moves, more large orgs are exploring moving to SQL Server, especially ones that are already a Microsoft shop. My company is doing just that.
Similarly, "Mutterficker" while a literal translation to German, is not exactly common. I'm guessing if it exists at all it's likely a direct adaptation from English language media (like "verfickt" -- "fucked"/"fucking" -- which seems to be a literal translation merged with "verflixt" which in turn is a minced oath for "verflucht" -- "damn").

I'm also not convinced exclamations like "Gottverdammt!" (similar to the Dutch phrase) and "Verfickte Scheiße!" (closest equivalent to "Fuck!" I can think of) are offensive in the same way. Outside of deeply religious groups the former would mostly be frowned at for being needlessly elaborate ("Verdammt!" would suffice) whereas the latter would be frowned at for simply being obscene -- quantity vs quality basically.

I also can't find anything in the article properly addressing the use of swear words for other things than intentional vulgarity or insult. The "escalation" theory doesn't work for exclamations in reaction to pain/mistakes/mishaps (e.g. dropping something heavy on your foot). It doesn't seem to address the existence of minced oaths either (which from the starting point of actual swearwords actually de-escalate by acknowledging the offensiveness of the unminced oaths).
Very nice! Hopefully it'll support syncing to google user account too.

> It is clear that the cost and bureaucracy of obtaining certificates was forcing many websites to continue with the insecure HTTP protocol

I never realized this so clearly, but it's true. The biggest hindrance to security until LE was that certs were expensive and hard to install. I don't think it was so much the former as the latter. I'd gladly pay 10% more for my cert if it meant my server could renew automatically without me touching it at all.

Then again, for small things, like my home computer that I want to access some stuff on but don't want to pay $10 for, self-signed was fine, so I guess the price was a problem, to a degree.
1. Its useful if you don't want people to have to run stuff to install it, just check it in side by side and they can run it directly from checkout.
Kind of off topic, but wow LEDs have gotten a lot cheaper very quickly. I recently moved and replacing all the incandescent bulbs and a few halogens lights with white-light LEDs was a lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be, judging by my memory of some LEDs I bought during the last move a few years ago... and they're at least as or even more energy efficient for the same lumens. I'm usually part of the crowd that thinks Kurzweil hypes his curves too much and additionally is "curve deterministic" instead of pointing in the right research directions to make things happen sooner/better, but there really are a lot of exponentials (and slightly less impressively power laws) out there if you look for them, and they can shake up expectations quite a bit when you're predicting linearly all the time... The genome project usually comes to mind since Kurzweil mentions a lot that by the halfway point they were only 1% "done", so getting the other 99% in the next 7 years seemed pretty ridiculous if you were a layman extrapolating linearly and didn't read that they actually planned for an order of magnitude decrease in cost (https://books.google.com/books?id=rtq1bS7g-OEC&lpg=PA529&ots...).

Yeah, the bloatloads of javascript are probably the worst offenders of ignoring performance of software other people have to run, sometimes even reimplementing features the browser already has, just slower and worse (Listen Zendesk, my browser has been doing tabs just fine for a decade, implementing them in javascript and entirely hijacking normal browser navigation behavior doesn't make anything better for anyone).

Thinking over it some more, browsers themselves were probably not a good piece of software to call out on performance considering how much optimization is actually done to increase their performance. The horrid things people do on top of them deserve all the blame they get though, and then some.

I think the point your parent comment is making is that "collective memory" implies more than just a common cause causing synchronization. If, as you say, "the pendulums are talking to each other" that would fit my definition of "collective memory", but if the pendulums stay synched just because they started at the same time, that doesn't seem like collective memory.
Just the nagging feeling that this is not really you but a 'drug' induced state. In any case, I'm generally paranoid of medications given the frequency of hidden side effects that aren't revealed/discovered years later and the general evilness of the pharma industry. Down from 100mg to 25mg now, I've constantly been trying to find a way to replace it with more 'natural' things like meditation, reformulation of stressful situations. That being said, the effect of the SSRI's was like day/night for me, and I would recommend anyone who's been suffering for depression to atleast give it a go with the caveats in mind.
So far, driving has become safer in Colorado. Show me an overall bad outcome.

Okay, but this only works for certain swearwords in certain cultures.

It also assumes vigorous sexual intercourse (i.e. "fuck") is gross, which is either extremely prude or childish.

I'd argue that some swearwords actually merely signify intensity and can be entirely neutral to the "tone of the conversation" (in terms of the subject matter and concepts the conversation can address). If you tell someone they did a "fucking great job" the only way that would affect the conversation negatively (sarcasm etc aside) would be if the phrasing offends the other person's sensibilities.

I'm guessing the falls in the same category as the "mock insults" theory (i.e. close friends casually insulting each other to signal their intimacy rather than actually causing offense).
It would if it weren't an overstatement of their results.

The Warburg effect is a metabolic pathway involving anaerobic burning of glucose. When cells consume fats instead of sugar it must be aerobically. Burning glucose aerobically is much more efficient than doing so without O2.

The belief is that this means that low carb diets should be a good preventative for cancers as they remove the metabolic pathway needed by the cancer cells as there isn't enough glucose for them.

As a German I'm routinely confused by Americans referring to "the $initialLetter-word", especially when it's not obvious from context.

I understand avoiding the "n-word" because of America's still ever-present latent racism, and I can kinda understand avoiding the "f-word" because of a schizophrenic attitude to sex based on Puritan "family values", but I'm still at a loss whenever I see all kinds of other letters of the alphabet pop up now and then with no indication what the speaker is actually trying to refer to.

EDIT: Apparently HN ratelimits me whenever I get downvoted. Yay for passive aggressive auto-moderation.
The point is not about what percentage they take. The point was their active involvement to coordinate all major participants in an entire industry into a cartel that conspired from the beginning to raise price, as the purpose. The participants in this illegal cartel all didn't "like" the market price, and so agreed on a collective mutual action that they believed would (and did) allow them to raise prices. The thing is, conspiring with a competitor to raise prices is illegal.

I believe this is the most difficult aspect of working remotely. I've been a remote developer for four years and I absolutely miss and crave phatic communication.

I spend a good portion of my time in coffee shops, but interestingly enough, coffee shops are mostly comprised of people focused on their work or studies or books or friends, and not conducive to friendly conversation. I find the same to be true in shared work spaces.

The tradeoff is that I spend a lot less time commuting and in meetings, and I feel far more relaxed in the mornings. My breaks during the day are real breaks, not just a few minutes away from my cubicle. I can easily read, clean the house, or watch something without worrying about how my break is being perceived.

I believe remote working has allowed me to be a better me and focus more on myself at the cost of feeling a lot more isolated and alone. I eat better, workout more consistently, and have more flexibility to support my wife and her career. But I rarely engage in random conversation -- I can go for hours, sometimes a whole day without talking to anyone -- and it's really easy to get stuck in my routine. Being in an office forces you into situations you wouldn't choose to be in, and I believe there can be value in that.

All that said, I'm not sure I'd go back to an office. I had some bad experiences with folks I really didn't want to be around, and being pulled into daily meetings that had no value, and it really feels great to have more control over my day. There's probably a healthy balance somewhere and I'd certainly consider a change if I found it.

I believe most of these diets promote low carb, high fat, moderate protein. In general consuming more protein than needed for cellular maintenance does little good and gets converted to energy through additional steps; since it's easier to get energy from carbs or fat it makes sense to consume only enough protein, not less, not more.
