I'd love to see some sort of double-blind study that bears this out, as I have serious doubts as to its veracity as ADHD is a huge spectrum of ambiguous symptoms. No doubt there are some people that have a lot harder time focusing than others, and there's no doubt stimulants help you focus, so in that case someone that has a harder time focusing might find them more beneficial, but the oft-repeated canard that stimulants "relax" you if you have true ADHD seems like more myth than proven theory to me.

Stimulants are useful. I would say upwards of 25% of people I know use/abuse some sort of stimulant on an irregular or regular basis. Everything from adderall to speed paste from the dark net, to the people I know that enjoy a good 3 day long meth binge every few months (yes, there are highly successful and responsible meth users).

Stimulants are also dangerous. They all have varying degrees of what people in the drug community call "more-ishness" -- the urge to redose. Because who the hell wants to come down when being up is so up? Some way more than others (Hi there, meth again!) They certainly tax your system -- I'm sure even the stuent popping two or three adderall to pull an allnighter has felt the next day blah of shitty brain chemicals (pro tip: sleep, eat a lot, exercise, and have sex). As far as long term effects of taking amphetamines every day, especially starting from childhood...well, we're running a population wide experiment on that now

In any case, to reiterate, I believe some people have a lot more trouble than others staying focused. This can help or hinder them, depending on what they are trying to do. No doubt some people find daily amphetamines super indispensable to leading a productive life. But pretending there is some bright line between "normal people" and "people with ADHD" wherein on one side of that line amphetamine use is abuse and other the other side its just a medicine that acts totally differently obscures the murky and muddy truth. And especially keeps us from having a rational discussion about harm reduction, safe stimulant use, etc etc.

And we're just getting started. New stimulants roll onto the streets from pharm labs in China and India nearly every money as research chemicals. Flourinated versions of methamphetamine and methylphenidate, etc etc etc. Some have rather unfortunate dose response curves between stimulation and psychosis for street drugs (see also: flakka) as not too many people carry their milligram scale on them.

In any case, we can keep pretending that stimulants are just good medicine for a vaguely nebulous diagnosis and poison for everyone else, or we can have rational discussions about what stimulants give with one hand, and what they take away with another. Because they do both.

Meanwhile, just out of sight, I assure you there's a lot more people crushing up half an adderall in their bedroom right now that you think.

For long term stays we'd need to dig underground dwellings on Mars anyways, though not nearly as deep, as the radiation that gets through its atmosphere will be very harmful to anyone living on the surface for multi year time spans.
I got the blue HP stream 13 for about $200 and it's remarkably versatile. I was able to get Photoshop and Illustrator and Visual Studio Code running on it, which covers most of my needs for portable computing (only thing it doesn't cover is iOS mobile dev, but there's no cheap throwaway solution for that).

And its memory is all solid state, so I don't have to worry about screwing up hard drives when transporting it like has happened with every single past laptop computer.

We reviewed both and went with Kotlin. Scala is not the obvious choice here in my opinion.

Kotlin is a simpler language which is a huge benefit.

I basically was using the Debug Watchpoint and Trace (DWT) block of the armv7m architecture (the ARMv7-M architecture reference manual specifies it).

DWT includes "comparators" typically used as hardware watch points. My methodology was to use one of the DWT comparators to watch for something reading/writing the last u32 of the current task's stack. Note that this might not be perfect as it could be possible for the stack to somehow skip over the last u32.

Then, install a handler for the Debug Monitor exception (which triggers when a watch point is hit) to disable the DWT comparator, print/store the appropriate info, and finally reset the chip.

Essentially, we're behaving like a simple "debug monitor" which only is capable of setting a single hardware watch point automatically.

Note that DWT is technically an optional component in armv7m, so it may not be functional on every chip. That said, most folks like having debug capabilities (this is the same hardware that jtag debuggers use to set watchpoints), so most seem to include them. On that note: doing this can (to some extent) interfere with external debuggers. To mitigate some of that, I did try to use the last DWT comparator instead of the first, but this will really depend on how your debugger works.
Do you intend to put the code on github? Because I'd love to help out porting it to javascript. Browser-native is the only way to go if you want any kind of engagement :)

Porting would also be a potentially helpful way for me to understand some of the concepts.

Other than for gaming and watching certain kinds of videos, I can't see VR (or AR) being a huge deal. I can think of all kinds of neat things that could be done with it, but the production costs are just too high and the equipment is too clunky.

Even in gaming, I expect VR games will be only moderately successful.
"Narcotic" stimulants tipped me off.

" I seriously doubt you can describe the patents as "end-to-end crypto""

It doesn't matter what you describe them as. What matters is what you can enforce them on. It's clever that you focus on VPN while ignoring product pertinent to this conversation: iMessage. Virnetx not only thinks they deserve credit for any end-to-end messaging app but also wants to shut them down.

http://btlj.org/2016/04/patent-privateering-virnetx-v-apple/

http://www.medianama.com/2016/05/223-now-virnetx-wants-apple...

Not just Apple's. They're going after any big company that's doing end-to-end encryption plus has money. They're also asking products to be taken off the market. Nobody used their patents or invention to build their products. The state-of-the-art in this space is way ahead of Virnetx's paltry offering that nobody wants. The only results of patents here are (a) anti-competitive behavior, (b) leeching off successful companies, and (c) probably helping NSA defeat widespread crypto easier via BULLRUN program and their partners at SAIC.

"Proves my point in previous post - small players don't have to re-invent the kitchen sink (in this case smartphones) but rather should focus on some small innovation (e.g. a VPN on demand feature - except translate to something of tomorrow - these patents are from 10-15 years ago). Find that 50 LOC"

What are you talking about? You can't sell 50LOC: you have to have whatever is standard or nobody will buy it. That's easy without patent enforcement in effect. Just build it, deploy it, and get first-mover advantage. Now, let's test your little theory on VOIP which Vodaphone has a patent on. How do you create a voice over IP product without infringing a patent that claims to cover any transmission of voice over any data channel? And in courts that rule in favor of patent-holder almost 100% of the time?

Good luck.

"Patents enable the small player to innovate and find success."

Most patents are filed by (a) big companies that sue small players for infringement or (b) Universities that sell patents to big companies that sue small players for infringement. The smaller companies, independent or academic spinoffs, often get acquired by big players that then sue small players for infringement. The big companies also hit outrageous profit margins due to lack of competition. Most studies of effect on patent system shows this to be the case.

Your claim about small businesses is a legend. That is, it's mostly a myth but with occasionally success stories to give it what little truth it has. Patents don't create innovation: corporate competition and often, government-funded research create most innovation. Patents then just restrict competition and drive prices up.

Because 4K at reasonable DPI would be bigger than 15 inches which is too small of a market for Apple to care about and 4K at reasonable size would have pointless and battery-sucking DPI.

I don't share your opinion. The Kernel exposes a collection of primatives (including but not limited to: cgroups, namespaces, and copy-on-write storage[1]) which can be used to create isolated sandboxes. The kernel itself doesn't bind the primatives together because I believe Linus would consider that "User space"...and I would agree.

Instead this is left up to other tools like LXC. Also note, that higher level features such as network support are also left up to the higher level tool.

Docker and LXC have core differences in vision of what a container should be [2]. Also, Docker used to be based on LXC, but have since done their own library libcontainer which handles the interaction with the kernel primatives.

To me, Docker's philosophy and libcontainer implementation is...as you say, fugly, but LXC's approach and implementation is not.

I also don't think of the kernel exposing primatives and letting user space tools bind them together as inherently bad. I actually prefer it this way and think it leaves the kernel cleaner/leaner/better off.

Given what happened with Godus under Peter Molyneux, the terrible mismanagement talked about here is unsurprising to me.

Whirlpool Corporation Launches New Beer System Exclusively Through Indiegogo
It's hard to take this seriously: storage is an excruciatingly hard problem, yet this cheerful description of a nascent and aspirational effort seems blissfully unaware of how difficult it is to even just reliably get bits to and from stable storage, let alone string that into a distributed system that must make CAP tradeoffs. There is not so much of a whisper as to what the data path actually looks like other than "the design includes the ability to support [...] Reed-Solomon error correction in the near future" -- and the fact that such an empty system hails itself as pioneering an unsolved problem in storage is galling in its ignorance of prior work (much of it open source).

Take it from someone who has been involved in both highly durable local filesystems[1] and highly available object storage systems[2][3]: this is such a hard, nasty problem with so many dark, hidden and dire failure modes, that it takes years of running in production to get these systems to the level of reliability and operability that the data path demands. Given that (according to the repo, though not the breathless blog entry) its creators "do not recommend its use in production", Torus is -- in the famous words of Wolfgang Pauli -- not even wrong.

Agree on the definition of an "IoT device" but scoping that way misses most of the market opportunity.

While the embedded/microcontroller tech hasn't changed drastically, the cloud/edge processing & analytics parts of the tech stack are new. The "services" business models are also new.
Given that the poster's email follows the format lastf@sec.gov (f for first initial), this is a consistent email for someone named Peter Comas.

Reproducing Young's experiment at home
Astro HQ | http://www.astro-hq.com | Fulltime | REMOTE or Minneapolis, MN

At Astro HQ we make Astropad, software that turns the iPad into a high-end drawing tablet for the computer. We replace existing dedicated, hardware drawing tablets that are prohibitively expensive, costing thousands of dollars. Astropad is used by creatives of all types, from hobbyists to high-end professionals working on major motion pictures.

To make Astropad possible we had to create our own network protocol and low-latency video codec we call Liquid. We are just getting started with Liquid and we need engineers to help us work on this next generation high quality, low-latency video technology.

We are looking for someone with an interest in low level programming (C, SIMD), graphics, GPU programming and compression to work on our cutting edge Liquid tech. We are also a fully remote company with a small office in Minneapolis, MN. If this sounds interesting to you, e-mail: jobs@astro-hq.com
Excellent demos. One suggestion for the creator/maintainer of the demo pages: It would be nice if the imageDiff demo had two pre-made images to do a diff on. I spent a few minutes taking a shot with my webcam and then another with my had in the scene just to see how the static diff worked. Pre-loading a shot of a background and one with something added to the image would be a nice start to the demo instead of making the user drag/drop their own images.

As a totally unrelated note, if this interests you, you might also get a kick out of coherent change detection (CCD) which works on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images: http://defense-update.com/features/du-2-05/sensor-5.htm. CCD has been used by military intelligence for a while now, and although a lot of the cool stuff is classified, the basics of the technique are unclassified and kind of cool.
I think you're reading it backwards. The coefficients are the exponents that follow the parameters. The large negative one is the housing supply, because prices go down as more housing exists.
Congrats on the relaase! How does this compare to GlusterFS (loved it, was free - I used it before they got acquired by RedHat) and Isilon (expensive but fast and reliable). Is there an upper limit on number of nodes(?) or total size?
I'd also not recommend melatonin, but not for the reason that the other poster gave, which suggest that they are taking melatonin in the amounts that it is formulated at pharmacies, which is usually orders of magnitude that of the recommended dose, and probably too late in the evening (>Don't< take it before going to bed, take it ~3 hours before going to bed)

However, after taking it for several years on most days, I developed heart palpitations and other strange sensations. They disappeared a few weeks after I stopped taking it.

Thanks for writing out this thorough overview of perception versus what we're able to quantifiably identify. I think you touched on a lot of things I was going for, but didn't expound upon, which leads people to think I was being glib or something.

I'm actually genuinely appreciative because while I have a testable, physiological medical condition, I think the ADHD 'testing' without a biological marker that can be seen in a petri dish (so to speak) is wishy-washy. Yes, this goes for Autism too. Yes, I understand these views probably aren't popular, and, in closing, I do feel fine holding this definition distinction in light of people wanting to argue their fuzzy feelings about "What's real" in medical science.

>well, we're running a population wide experiment on that now

I suspect I also get hositility from pointing out a lot of people think their medication is helping them but they really don't know about long term effects, but don't want to hear that they might be, you know, bad.
Get back to me about the cognitive improvements after you are curled up in bed with hot and cold sweats, feeling like life will never be normal again, with a bone crushing fatigue that won't quit.

Note -- I'm a staunch anti-prohibitionist and I agree that stimulants are useful tools, but they are also dangerous tools with a high potential for abuse and some pretty wicked effects if you push them too far (stimulant psychosis in the short term, pretty nasty anhedonia as well as a bunch of other health effects in the long term)

So yes, of course let's decriminalize and legalize - and let's start by acknowledging that lots of well rounded people use amphetamines mostly safely and responsibly (the occasional binge seems inevitable) - but let's also have a rational harm reduction talk about the dangers of stimulant abuse. More than any class of drugs, I think they give with one hand and take away with the other. What goes up must come down after all.
Seems to be resolved now.
