Not true all the time. There is a state university in the Philippines called Rizal Technological University, located in Boni Avenue, Mandaluyong City. In that university, there's a college called CEIT or College of Engineering and Industrial Technology. One of the courses offered by that college is Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and in that course there is a subject called Advanced Programming. Guess what is taught in the subject called "Advanced Programming"? Ready?... they are teaching HTML. You read it right, HTML or Hypertext Markup Language.

I've come to the conclusion that is because Apple can't release anything that may not look (on paper) as being "ready", since they built their image on attention to detail and polished products - so in other words, a Swift 0.x. would not have seem polished/professional enough for Apple to release into the wild, even if it had all the present functionality.

You inverted the mass ratio of Li-mass to compound-mass in the calculation.

price Li per ton from LiOH:

23.95 [mass of LiOH] / 6.941 [mass of Li] * $14000 [$/ton of LiOH]
$48,310/ton [of Li]

price of Li per ton from Li2CO3

73.89 [mass of Li2CO3] / (2*6.941) [mass of Li] * $10000 [$/ton of Li2CO3]
$53,230/ton [of Li]

How is it moralistic?

We know in the UK that self poisoning is the second most common method of suicide after hanging, strangling and suffocation. (and that's likely to change with the next release of numbers - self poisoning is likely to overtake hanging strangling and suffocation).

the list of meds used in self poisoning is something like

1) Opiates
2) Anti-psychotics
3) Tri-cyclics
4) Paracetamol
5) Paracetamol and opiate combination

> However, physiologically it remains an actual treatment path

But that's the point, it doesn't.

> are actual people with actual suffering involved here, remember that

That's entirely the point! Opiates are not effective for most of those people. Opiates work in the short term, but the patient develops tolerance and needs to take more. Opiates are not suitable for long term use. A patient can very quickly build up to dangerous harmful levels of opiate use, and they're not getting pain relief.

Calling a medication dangerous and ineffective, and pointing out safer more effective alternatives, is not moralising, unlike your "remember there are people suffering" comment.
From https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution

" ... However, C++ itself is a very complex language, and providing good interoperability with C++ is a significant undertaking that is out of scope for Swift 3.0. "
I agree. I've found Go channels to be disappointing in practice. There's lots of PR but little criticism of something so key.

The fact that they are implemented using mutexes is, from my admittedly limited, non-concurrency-expert perspective, inexplicable. The simplest use case, an unbuffered channel, should be trivial to implement using CAS. There's a bunch of research on implementing robust queues using CAS.

Then there are the various ugly edge cases: Closing a closed channel is an error (now you have to implement your own refcounting implementation if you want to hand out a single channel to multiple consumers), receive on nil channel blocks (means you can't use nil as a signal to mean "I've closed the channel"), etc.

I really like GCD's style of enqueueing concurrent tasks, which I think is a concurrency model that often works more naturally than channels. A major difference between GCD and goroutines is that you can specify what queue to use. I'm looking forward to see what they come up with for Swift.
Someone/people really proving the points being made about downvoting and the seriousness of this forum. FWIW, I upvoted because I think the downvotes are abusive (particularly the one you object to here). Did not seem to make any difference though.
Spending on education/tuition is how middle-class Americans ensure the lower class ones stay down there. If spending on schooling was capped the way most things are capped then there would be much more competition for 'white-collar' jobs.

eg. middle class families may spend a little more on food on average but they are not going to spend 'beyond their means' on lavish cuisine in the hope that it will ensure a health advantage, because it obviously won't. The same is largely true of the quality of education available - there's no reason why the outcome (actual learning) should get much better by spending excessively on it. But then you have to factor in the signalling and filtering aspects.
Ouch, but you're right, except for 'continuous'. Meta stuff is off-topic, but there's a tradeoff. After pg stepped back, users asked for more transparency. pg didn't run HN that way because he didn't have time and because it isn't interesting. More transparency means more meta. We try to keep it down. Normally we'd downweight this thread, but here that would have looked like trying to bury a story about our own screwup, and HN would 'see through a cheap ploy like that' whether it was the reason or not.

You're also right that my post above was impenetrable to people who hadn't been following this. Sorry. I didn't have time to write a full description, plus I was scared to, because there would have been a volley of objections no matter how I described it.
AMD are supporting open standards like OpenCL, which is effectively their answer to CUDA. The problem is that Nvidia refuse to keep their drivers up to date with the latest OpenCL capabilities. The latest version nVidia supports is OpenCL 1.1, but its now up to OpenCL 2.2. nVidia are years behind on OpenCL. This is pretty much the primary reason why CUDA seems so far ahead.

nVidia released new features and capabilities on CUDA that later versions of OpenCL also supported, but were not available on nVidia cards due to lack of OpenCL driver support. Hence, lots of people developed libraries and tools for CUDA, with great encouragement and support from nVidia (which attracted developers). These tools were useful and powerful, encouraging others to also use nVidia hardware to take advantage of those tools. CUDA has now taken root.

If nVidia were to start keeping their drivers updated with the latest version of OpenCL, i suspect CUDA's dominance would start to wane. Though the CUDA roots have gone deep, so it may take several years to reverse its dominance. However, its highly unlikely that nVidia will update their drives any time soon. The only thing that would probably force them is AMD gaining market dominance for a few years.
We're focusing on mainstream developer scenarios to start with (esp. Ruby, Java, Python, etc); we'll get to more advanced, esoteric, and exotic technologies later.

Some of the fires in those videos have a strange purplish or blue glow at their edges. Is that flame burning outside the visible spectrum and can it be seen with the naked eye? Example: https://youtu.be/Fym6X-JvEOs?t=1m8s Or just an artifact of the recording technology?

If it's burning outside the visible spectrum, and the same part isn't also emitting visible light too, then that's really scary - it would mean that every time you see a fire like that, it's actually considerably larger than it seems.

I am curious whether you could see hydrogen burning on a camera like these dashcams.

Apparently the woman only said that she was sick until the airplane had returned to the gate and she exited the airplane.

At that point, probably thirty or fourty minutes had already gone by.

Then five minutes to get in touch with an the right law enforcement agent.
Fifteen minutes to get to the plane.
Five minutes talking to the woman.
Five minutes for the pilot to get the man off the plane.
Five minutes of conversation. Five minutes to reboard.
Twenty minutes of checklists.
Fourty minutes of taxing/waiting.

Since that adds up to more than two hours, it means that the actual process must have been faster.

This seems to be another example, particularly on this forum, of "living in the bubble". The bubble in this case is urban living in California, a situation with relatively low ranges of driving with temperate weather.

Again, I'm not saying it won't happen. I'm simply pointing out the obvious: it's got incredibly far to go and there are enormous challenges to overcome such that, at a minimum, it's going to take a long time.

Dominating their niche will be a useful outcome. If light vehicles in cities become predominantly electric, that is a useful outcome and I look forward to it for the reduction in air and noise pollution.
I remember Linus Torvalds talking about this, getting a home in a good school district is difficult and expensive but not getting one has consequences. And when you read this, you really understand the Finnish idea that all school should be equally good, a competition between them will lead to good, better, and bad schools.
Oxycodone is an interesting pharmaceutical in that it is synthesized from thebaine instead of morphine or codeine.

The problem with opiates is that by the time you get to a dosage that's therapeutically effective, you'll end up building massive amounts of tolerance to the drug. I'm sure pharma companies are well aware of this fact. Strange how we as a society use opiates for pain management rather than cannibanoids like CBD or CBN.
Sorry, no. I have been trying to find it myself. It was within the last 6 months.
Why do you assume this woman was bigoted and not just ignorant but acting in good faith?

She got weird vibes from him but at least tried to make conversation with the guy to get a better read on him.

The men who did 9/11 were Arab Muslims. Arab Muslims commit terrorist attacks somewhere in the world every day (though most of their victims are other Muslims). This is actually real, even though it's uncomfortable to acknowledge.

The woman was ignorant and that's on her but also a failure of public education to some extent. See something say something is an extremely valuable tool in preventing terrorist attacks so we should be more careful in considering the motivations of people who see something and say something.

Then why did Edmund's car need FOUR drive units in two years?

http://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-s/2013/long-term-road-tes...

That's the FOURTH drive unit (3rd replacement) their Model S needed.

The fact of the matter is, my Ford Focus (and most people's Toyota Camry from the 90s) has needed less maintenance than than the two-year test Edumnds did on the Model S.

Unless you like paying $90,000+ for a car that dies in the middle of the highway as the drive unit completely craps out, I'm not sure if the Tesla Model S is actually a sign of Tesla's manufacturing prowness.

http://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-s/2013/long-term-road-tes...

http://www.edmunds.com/tesla/model-s/2013/long-term-road-tes...

And considering the widespread reports of issues with the "simple electric" Drive Unit, I'm thinking the electric drive unit is a lot more complex than Tesla's marketing slides indicate.

---------

Worst part is that this isn't anecdotal evidence. MULTIPLE reporters have had their Tesla Model S die on them in the middle of the highway.

Of course I've never had a flight stopped, or anything close to that severe, it's just a general questioning of what my background is or being "randomly" selected for getting swabbed/questioned/whatever nearly every flight.

I believe that it's strongly related to the dashboard software being targeted towards "familiarity" by the doctors / customers and having old GUI-centric software from back in the mid-90s ported to run on Windows over the decades prettied up back when there was nothing really viable for end-user accessible embedded systems besides even more grotesquely expensive custom software with even less capabilities and far worse SDKs than anything under Windows back in, say, 1994. This isn't that different to me than banking software with a COBOL backend with Java middleware and a PHP frontend that's extremely common for retail banking sector.

Given the sheer amount of overhead in enterprise BS medical hardware has (read: sales people likely get the biggest chunk of the absorbed costs) it wouldn't be a surprise to me that the engineering teams amount to a skeleton crew while 70%+ of the personnel involved are non-engineers that override the professional decisions of the engineers.
In technical fields this is usually reliable (someone who went to CMU or MIT and graduated probably put in a pretty high baseline level of work), but in more liberal arts fields school quality correlates much less to a baseline quality level. At my alma mater (Amherst), for example, the easiest course of study would be to take 4 humanities classes / semester, spend 12 hours/week in classes, write 3 papers/semester for each, and then you're done. 50% of the student body does this. The hardest would be to double up on lab sciences (physics + chem, for example, or physics + neuroscience), which entails about 20 hours/week of classes, 30-40 hours/week spent on problem sets, 2 midterms and a final.

I've heard that Harvard is similar: the grade distribution at Harvard is roughly 10% As, 80% Bs, and 10% Cs. Getting an A at Harvard implies that you really did a lot of work, but getting a B could imply everything from "You really did a lot of work but just missed the cutoff" to "You learned basically nothing from your undergraduate education."
I did try it -- and thats what led to my decision not to use it. A reasonable solution to the problem (again IMHO) would be to use permanent IDs and never renumber them. I am comfortable marking task 1654 done. Maybe a manual command you run to renumber them if you're tired of them being high.
Damn, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to edit my earlier post.

That changes some of the numbers substantially. Cost of lithium salts at 2015 prices to sustain full Gigafactory production becomes about $USD 340 million/year, rather than the $USD 20 million/year I initially calculated.

The figures about volume of supply, demand and reserves, stand.

Sometimes I think it would be worth putting in "dummy parameter" units to stop mistakes like this from happening with dimensionless ratios.

Anyway, thanks again for pointing that out.
If we decoupled housing from education as much as possible then at least people wouldn't be forced to buy all sorts of other amenities that they might or might not want along with the educations they do want.

There'd be a lot of winners from such a change, but the big losers would be incumbent homeowners in neighborhoods with "good schools" that have had that circumstance capitalized into the prices of their homes. Unfortunately that's quite a powerful group of people.
Yeah, it's very cool stuff! Would just like to add that VeniceX is actually single-threaded, so it's more safe than Go's. It's similar to libuv in that way, but since it doesn't use callbacks it's much nicer.

>There are actual people with actual suffering involved here, remember that. Don't let your misconceptions of junkies determine public heath policy.

Go to any treatment facility and actually talk to the patients there. Your attitude will change. I used to volunteer at one so I knew a lot of people who went from pain patients to addicts who were still in pain. Amputees, people with disfiguring injuries, chronic diseases. These aren't people who are seeking drugs on the streets - these are doctor prescribed drugs. The effects of the medication are terrible for quality of life and they just plain stop working!

I can't believe how doctors apparently routinely prescribe addictive painkillers in the US. Here in Europe, as far as I know, doctors only prescribe non-opioid painkillers. I don't know anyone who was prescribed an opioid drug outside of an ICU.

Ibuprofen is surprisingly effective for many types of pain, I don't see why doctors immediately prescribe something as dangerous as OxyContin.
That would be a distinction lost on anyone who isnt prone to over analyzing the situation, not a hallmark of schoolyard bullies.
I left grad school in a bit of a surprise move during the great recession, so I missed all of the recruiting opportunities when I left - it took me 2 1/2 years to find a job, but afterwards I've made every effort to stand out on my own merits.

Do you drive, use electricity, refrigeration, or eat meat? Then climate change us just as much your responsibility as a polluter. The oil sands provide the energy you consume and is one of the most environmentally regulated sources of oil in the world. Alberta oil sands also includes incredibly strict employee safety standards regulations and is one of the few major sources of oil not supporting a despotic government.

It's one thing to want to avoid climate change, but be honest in recognizing your complicity in the problem.
