Of course, in moderation making excuses for others (or rather, putting a positive spin on their actions) can lead for an easier and more stress free life. I have been amazed at times when behaviour from others I have considered unremarkable has been interpreted in any entirely different way by someone else.

For example, a boss I considered to be trying his best is considered by others as an upper management ass-kisser who would back stab any of his team members in a heart beat to get ahead. This is working off the same information as I had. The person holding this view seemed to spend their days in a state of seething resentment, compared to my (blissful) ignorance. They would of course consider me stupidly naive!

I can't understand how Slack became so popular without threading. I find that absolutely crucial for a group chat now that I've got used to it.

Well, it's not all or nothing. If you legalized cannabis for example, you may find that users switch to that from more harmful drugs such as alcohol, or opiates. In particular, by buying from controlled suppliers, rather than the black-market, makes them less likely to be offered worse stuff as alternatives.

By then reducing the size of the black market, you drain it of customers and money, and make it easier to police. But banning stuff that large segments of the population already do, even while suffering legal risk, is a harder policy to enforce.

There's also the fact that horse-riding, backyard pools, gun ownership, rock climbing, not eating well or excercising enough as likely to kill you as some drugs, so a consistent approach to that would be welcome too.
"colloquial sense" ... "or what have you"

This right here is why we don't have a sensible drug policy; many, many people think like this when approaching the subject.
I assume you mean "rational, if your goal is to decrease drug use."

If that is the case, one must also consider all of the costs involved in making the drugs illegal, from paying people to enforce their illegality (DEA, border agents, customs inspections), increased burdens on the legal system, and the funding more prisons, the increase in thefts committed by addicts due to the rise in prices, increased burden on medical services (impure drugs are more hazardous to health)...

If your goal is "decrease drug use at all costs," then I question the rationality of the goal.
I think it's the same reason salaries are low in the games industry: everyone would rather have an interesting job in a creative industry for less money than a boring job at a bank for lots of money.
The rationale is that consumption of drugs is a personal choice and fine.

It's harm from drugs that's bad, and most of it comes from them being illegal, and thus: uncontrolled quality and quantity (overdoses, etc), overpriced (making people steal etc to buy them), black market (thus supporting a mafia that sells them, kills people etc). That, and landing people in jail (where they ruin their live, become actual hardened criminals etc) for simple pocession etc.

Yes of course.

I was hoping for a few "buck your ideas up we can stop this" replies... As I said further down in the comment tree I will definitely be writing to my MP before any Commons readings of this bill.

However, I really can't see how to win this one. Both of our major political parties are seemingly totally committed to erosion of civil liberties, the security services have such a vast control already and I can't see meaningful opposition surviving the tabloid newspaper treatment. Also I know intelligent people who support this bill (and similar laws) and even more people who just don't see it as a priority.

I think that it will take a total change in public opinion for the creeping erosion of civil liberties to be reversed and I don't see that happening with our current media until British people have experienced a Statsi-like situation for themselves.
> There's also the fact that horse-riding, backyard pools, gun ownership, rock climbing, not eating well or excercising enough as likely to kill you as some drugs, so a consistent approach to that would be welcome too.

Unlike the use of drugs, almost all of the things you mentioned fall under category of "exercise", which (correct me if I'm wrong) I believe is medically accepted to have immense benefits, whereas I'm not sure the case is the same with the drugs under consideration here...

I had one of those gems too. I now have a deviated septum.

It was in my thirties, and she was hot.

When I realized she went into situations looking for drama; I finally told her to get lost.

I was drinking pretty heavily when I was dating her. I thought she was this misunderstood goth chick. Well, when I stopped drinking, I saw the sutle cues she was giving out. The little coy looks, while I was getting drinks. Actively stretching her neck in order to hear some idiot say anything remotely sexist.

I think she enjoyed the fights I got in over her. She just needed to know she was pretty enough to fight over?

Well--no one is fighting over her anymore. The labial facial
lines are deep. The gray is comming through the black die. The magic is gone. Her fiery personality is now just angry, and bitter. Age is a leveler of that beauty asset.

I thought I was the least superficial man in the world. I used to laugh at guys who doted over pretty women. I used to tell girlfriends upfront, "I'm not one of those guys who momma will like. I wish I was more like your other boyfriends?" I thought I was in charge. Thought?

Boy, I was wrong. And I have a nasal cavity to prove it. She was an anomaly though. I never had this problem(defending thy maidens honor) with anyone else. She definetly had me fooled, or my drinking blinded me from seeing the person she really was?
I was merely trying to describe a category of drugs so that I can ask a question about it; you can name it whatever you want so that you can answer it, but your condescending tone and lack of an answer isn't exactly helpful in responding to the question. If you don't like my category you can always feel free to ask your own questions about other ones instead of changing mine.
Which is absolutely what the author asked for.
I cant answer your question but I am also intersted in if this is possible.

From my point of view, since we are not native speakers we are still loosing some points.

As #bebraw mentioned below,it‘s worth to hire or at least cooperate with some native speaker or skikled translator. They can help you correct grammar and give you valuable insight how to in more native manner. Question might be a cost of this cooperation.

One point from my experience. I am publishing via established publisher who has own verified and skilled translators. So i can and they also require to write manuscript in my native language and they will translate it to final language in which books will bevpublished. Even my and 'destination' language are very close and we can understand each other without any issues. Reason of trnaslation is pure business. Second language has better revenue than mine.
Using non open source tools is Harlech ever a problem. Yes the support can disappear, but so can one for FLOSS software. I am working on a tool which is based on a graveyard of abandonned open source libraries and taking them over is absolutely not an option. The only thing you can do is to slowly move to an alternative and hope that it will get maintained. With tools the choice is usually very easy because you can switch to other tools any time.

I agree, it is kind of obvious, wherever human appear, megafauna disappear, from Europe to South America. Oh must be climate change.

It could be climate change, but that doesnt explain anything, since its so far reaching and general.

Maybe this latest global warming/climate change, is not the first time humans had an impact on climate? Its certainly not the first time any species had an impact on climate, looking at you cyanobacteria.
In Paine's time, this theory of income was intended to stimulate expansion and conquest of virgin lands in the hopes of acquiring enough resources to offset and even contend against European powers to right certain ideological wrongs.

Ironically, when this theory was practiced by America (via American-printed currency not bounded by metallic limitations) the credit expansion created a mechanism to conquer more and more virgin land to pay off the interest on the loan, which resulted in the elimination of Paine's ideal Native American strawman utopia.
> almost all

Unless they all are, you don't really have a point. But, for the sake of argument, pretend the list was "gun ownership, not eating well, not exercising enough" - i.e. 3 out of the original 6 (which, apparently, is "almost all"). Feel free to add any of the many, many activities which aren't "exercise" but are more likely to decrease your life expectancy such as driving, sitting, crossing the road, ...

This is a common misconception.

Only 20% of state and federal prisoners (those serving more than a one year sentence) have drug crimes as their most serious conviction.

80% of prisoners are serving time for violent (47.7%), property (17.1%), or public order crimes (13.8%) that no one would argue are victimless.

While some of the other crime is related to drugs, the point is that 80% of the prisoners in the US have grievously victimized our fellow citizens and residents and are not innocent "[people removed] from society in order to address the 'drug problem'" as the parent comment stated.

I don't know about the people in the US, but I can tell you why I want to completely legalize drugs. I see only benefits (less organized crime) with no downsides (I don't think drug usage will increase, as drugs are extremely easy to get even now). Note that the prices don't need to drop - the government could still tax drugs even higher than they tax alcohol and tobacco now - so there's no economical argument why the demand would increase.
I think the underlying issue is that the technical conditions guaranteeing for existence and uniqueness for ODEs (the Picard-Lindelof theorem) are so easy to satisfy (which is what guarantees that different numerical algorithms will give the same answer) that they're something most students are unlikely to encounter in practice.

That said, I do think there is some pedagogical value in teaching existence/uniqueness even though the result may not be so interesting because it shows students that it's possible to get information about solutions directly from the equation even without explicit formulas available. It also introduces them to the sort of abstract arguments at the core of modern mathematics.
Presumably because smaller players don't have such elaborate security. Those can always argue that the government should use one of the well-known exploits.

I also could imagine that Apple would aid such a case anyways.

I thought the comment on exterior differential forms was interesting. I always wanted to delve into those and better understand what a dx all by itself was when separated from dy/dx by simple manipulation.

rewriting the differential equation,' or some equally atrocious lie."

Presumably, at least some proportion of that 80% is related to the legal status of drugs. E.g. robbery to support payment of inflated black-market prices, protection of production operations, etc.
>the stereotypical homeless person is basically not a real thing in the UK. They do it because they either choose to do so or have other mental or social problems that prevent them from seeking free help.

I don't know what fantasy world you're living in, but in London homelessness is very real and very present. Go take a walk through the city at night, it's eye-opening.

I've noticed it has become considerably worse (by number of homeless) over the past year or so.

Top Six Reasons to Use API Keys (2012)
Ah the good old "national socialism". It worked good for Nazis for a short while. But I don't think we have no long term data? Francoist Spain suffered from trade restrictions and Baathist countries used to benefit "unfairly" from oil.

I suspect the problem is the same. Your indicators get skewed if you accept them as goals. Bit like if you go to school, not for learning, but for getting good grades. It's going to kick you sooner or later, but at latest in academia.
> In a strict language, a lazy thunk can be represented as a single mutable cell. In ML, thanks to type abstraction, the mutation is confined to the module that implements laziness, and, in the rest of the program, there's no way to tell that anything impure is happening.

Unfortunately, the general story isn't quite so nice, due to thread-safety.

Immutable data structures are great for thread-safety, as there's no problems with data races or generally invalidating things, because there's no writes... but laziness introduces secret writes, among other problems. This means a type providing laziness either can't be used across multiple threads simultaneously, or is forced to have extra overhead (e.g. atomic operations, blocking & registering for being woken up when trying to force a thunk that another thread is already forcing), and users of a library definitely need to know if a module is using mutation in the former way, and may want to know about the latter.

Of course, if shared-memory concurrency/parallelism is forgone, this isn't a problem, but that omission has its own downsides. And... I would suspect the overhead of just implementing it in a thread-safe way can be considered negligible in many cases, especially if data is guaranteed to be pointer-sized (or less).

(Concurrency/parallelism are sometimes described as "abstraction breaking" for this sort of reason.)
This. I think Slack is going a new territory with voice/video. It will compete now with MS Lync and Cisco Spark. Both are eating market shares in collaboration and Slack will be affected. The two giants are investing a lot of money in their cloud based collaboration tools and might want to buy slack in the future, if it becomes a real threat.
What about people that are involved in illegal drug industry after legalizing drugs? Most of them know only how to deal drugs, know only crime, they will need to find new way to make money and probably it will not be a legal one.

Unitools – A suite of tools for working with Unicode in the browser
Quote the readme: "B-trees were originally invented in the 1970s as a data structure for slow external storage devices. As such, they are strongly optimized for locality of reference: they prefer to keep data in long contiguous buffers and they keep pointer derefencing to a minimum. (Dereferencing a pointer in a B-tree usually meant reading another block of data from the spinning hard drive, which is a glacially slow device compared to the main memory.)"

Sounds like it could be pretty cache friendly. Besides, a B-tree can be used to implement a hash/dict/map.
I didn't notice, but my NoScript blocked the web font and the default font is more legible with that color. In both cases changing the color from rgb(100, 100, 121) to rgb(80, 80, 100) is enough to improve the readability of the text. font-weight: 600 seems a little extreme.
Screener's video/audio/screen-sharing tech with Slack's UX will be a good marriage, and when I heard about the acquisition I was expecting good things.

Thanks!

I'm envisioning a github/gitlab alike source hosting service, but with the UI and UX tuned towards enabling discussion and collaboration. Sort of trying to get to Github's original motto of "Social Coding". Put more emphasis on the social and human aspect than on tweaking the product for enterprise sales.

The basic idea would be to have a reddit-style threaded discussion available from any point in the repository: the repo itself, a commit, a branch, a tag, and to have easy hyper-linking between those objects. Good search would help too.

Will keep experimenting.

Of course. The list of scheduled substances is arbitrary, and must be constantly expanded as new neuroreceptor ligands are invented.

When I consider subparagraph A of the Federal Analog Act, I sometimes wonder if what is actually desired by drug-control advocates is to make certain states of mind illegal. That there could be legislation defining legal and illegal patterns of brain activity is quite a trip in itself. I thought cyberpunk was dead.
The drug problem was studied years ago by the RAND corporation and the US Military - a pure cost-benefit analysis. They found that treatment and education are the most cost effective way to deal with the drug problem, and that prohibition was the most costly and ineffective means of dealing with it.

Therefore the government understands that the war on drugs is likely to be unsuccessful, and we have to ask ourselves, why do they persist with it? A few reasons present themselves: Ideological motivations, they just don't like the drugs. The fact that if you terrify the population you can use that as means for greater political control and discipline. And the fact that Tobacco and Alcohol companies would likely suffer as a result of drug legalisation, like cannabis.

Lastly the CIA has been found to be involved in the drug trade on a vast scale. This is not a conspiracy, there are many well-documented books on this. They need large sums of untraceable money for clandestine operations, and drugs are an ideal source of this.

What other platforms embed a subset of a language into the templating one? I've only seen this done in HTML. Even "back then" I opted to use pure PHP for templates rather that trying to use some comment magic based DSL that does little more than variable replacement and a for loop. The templates in Angular for example are a good example of what is wrong with stuffing code into templates rather than going the other way around.
