I have struggled with ADHD for my entire life. I don't think you realize how it can affect you.

I started to take medication after nearly failing out of college. It was physically impossible for me to study for more than 40 minutes; I would fall asleep no matter where I was. It was not a matter of motivation or dedication. I was hitting a physical barrier that I could get around any other way.

I agree that there is over-diagnosis is a problem, but especially as a person who came around to medication as a last resort, it is very offensive to say that I don't need it. I avoided it for years, but within a few months I was able to use all of the strategies I had learned, coupled with the meds, to seriously turn my life around. I went from academic probation (GPA in the 2.2 range) to top of my classes with about 15 mg of adderall a day. I've tried placebos, I've tried therapy, but I would not be able to do the work I do today without drugs.
> It's not clear that this ruling would force Brown and others to give W-2s or 1099s

AFAIK, it would not, since status as an "employee" under the NLRA is not necessarily equivalent to status as employee (as opposed to a contractor) for tax purposes, so, insofar as tax status is concerned, this ruling doesn't do anything.
You aren't truly a non-morning person, I think, because it works for you. You might not like mornings, but it isn't wired in as it is in some of us.

Waking before 8-9am seriously affects the very quality of sleep. 8-9am takes a little attention to my sleeping and continued use of an alarm clock, but I can get a decent enough sleep. At 6-7am wakings, it is doable with a great deal of work. I then continually run the risk of oversleeping sporadically (I often don't hear alarm clocks early in the morning). Sometimes I'm just wide awake after midnight even with continued waking. Outside of taking sleeping pills, I'm not sure how to combat that.

I worked exactly one job that started at 4:45am and had to quit due to lateness. I physically couldn't do it. Half the time the alarm wouldn't wake me. I can do this occasionally for a couple days at a time, but it is rough. I'm much better working overnight than early mornings. I used to get told I'd grow out of it, but I'm 38. I don't think I will.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment Ristretto!

The product, engineering, and design folks at Pinterest are very smart and I think we all know that forcing integrations into Pinterest like the ones you're describing would really damage the user experience for end-users.

I've already built Pinterest integration for Instapaper, which you can link like other social accounts at http://instapaper.com/user. You can see how this integration looks on my Pinterest account: https://www.pinterest.com/bthdonohue/instapaper/

I will be a strong advocate against integrations that I would perceive to damage the user experience for Instapaper.

Lastly, thanks for your support over the years. I'm looking forward to continue bringing you the same great service at Pinterest.

Keep in mind that ISPs and large streaming services each take steps to reduce the bandwidth of streaming media via different compression methods. The average video that you download in high quality may be around 500MB, but if you were to stream the same video on Netflix in a good area you would probably only consume 100-400MB of bandwidth.
I'm sure details vary between countries and even universities. But for me, and I think essentially everyone, a fundamental part of being a PhD student is having to work long hours outside the applicable working time regulations. What is the point of promoting a group to employee status when everyone knows this group will be regularly violating the employee rights law (whether US, UK, EU etc.)?
The op did say ignore the "dumb" internet comments. Of course how you can determine which comments are dumb without reading them is an unsolved problem.
>Undergraduates don't have the specialized knowledge required to teach or to contribute substantially to research. Graduate students, however, do both of these jobs.

I don't think grad/undergrad is the right distinction here. I was employed by my undergrad-only liberal arts alma-mater as a teaching assistant and research assistant. And the college employed many of my classmates in other positions. We weren't exploited like many graduated students are, but another institution could have treated us worse.

I found "Don't let their lack of imagination hold you back" amusing because those "hating" on these new companies for being allegedly boring, pedestrian, derivative ideas are criticising a lack of imagination on the founders' part.

Re "The people who have said there is nothing new left to do in the world have been wrong every time.": I must admit I didn't spend terribly long reading the comments myself but again I don't recall 'everything has been done already' being the theme either, rather the companies are not doing anything new themselves.

> Behavioral econ models depend on getting both econ and human psychology right

This is the important bit. The much criticised "rational expectations revolution" in modern economics was less about popularising a hypothesis that people were on average good at anticipating the future and more a case of arguing that if a proposed policy stopped working if humans started anticipating how it would affect them, it probably wasn't a good policy...
Hi Natan!

Here's from the blog post:
"Instapaper provides a compelling source for news-based content, and we’re excited to take those learnings to Pinterest’s discovery products. We’ll also be experimenting with using our parsing technology for certain Rich Pin types."

Outside of operating Instapaper normally, those are the things we'll be working on with the Pinterest team.

I agree, there are busybodies everywhere and they have always existed. What's new to me, who have lived in two very different countries before coming here to the US, is how often and how easily those busybodies recur to authorities.

Unlike other places I've lived in, here there is a real fear that someone will dislike the way you raise your children and report you, creating much more serious problems for you than they might do elsewhere, at least not with the same ease.

I think it has a lot to do with what @stinkytaco said in his reply. It's a breakdown in communication and the same thing happens in other aspects of our lives, not just the child-rearing. I believe that this is what happens when there's so much emphasis on personal, individual freedom at the expense of larger communities those individuals form part of, all the way to the largest community -- the society itself.
Battery saver mode was added back in recently, FYI. Though it still seems buggy. The app occasionally fails to wake after raising your phone.
They discuss why meals are often bland and unappetizing in this article [1].

> It’s not that the authorities haven’t noticed the blandness. The food lacks strong flavoring and other distinctions by design. To appeal to the widest possible population, spices are added sparingly; even salt is omitted because of some inmates’ dietary restrictions.

However, it's also made to be nutritious and I don't think ramen would quality.

> While jail food is undeniably bland, it is nutritious, at least according to the standards followed by Title 15 regulations based on Section 6030 of the California Penal Code.

Clustering in Node creates isolated child processes, not threads. I needed to have shared queues, in-memory caches, and hashes to coordinate workers and avoid them doing duplicate work.

I'm did consider using clustering and having some master process coordinate everything, and using some shared-memory caching library. But it would not be "easy" to set up, especially compared to something like Java where you get thread pools and synchronized thread-safe collections out of the box.

And Lambda would have been totally impractical. As I said, I had hundred of gigs of data to process. If I'd been uploading this over my puny ADSL upstream every time, I'd still be waiting for a single run to complete.

I'm not trashing Node. I like it. There's a reason I used in the first place, after all. But for this particular use-case, I didn't find it was very good fit.
I was under the impression the administration just follows thousands years old tradition of mandarins and bureaucratic administrators - nothing particularly communistic about that. Although, I'm not an expert on the subject.
Wow, you're a terrible employer then.

I've worked at a lot of IT companies, doing developer, sys admin, dev ops .. I've run the spectrum from health insurance to credit card processors -- very little of the work I've ever done is fulling or contributes to society in any significant way (except maybe the University I worked for briefly).

My personal work matters way more than any of the crap I get paid for. That being said, I write good code. My stuff has solid test cases, good design and readable code. I learn from code reviews and try to give good feedback. I generate good work and get it done in a reasonable amount of time. But I don't do over time. I don't work over 40 hours a week. I will not work on the weekends. If you work at a hospital, I can see how being on-call could be important. Any other job, and it's just money you're losing.

Just become my employer doesn't come first, doesn't make me a bad employee. If anything it makes me a better person because I have a life.
>My smartphone's lock screen is my go-to example: most times it fails to follow my finger, and I barely have anything running on it.

...That doesn't sound like a cache miss. Knowing Android, A cache miss is probably the least of your worries.

>Users may need a second to click or touch a button, but when they do the software should react instantly, and that does not leave you that many cycles.

You raise a good point...

>Most of the dynamic languages are data and instruction cache-miss machines. They chase objects and pointers all around the memory.

...and this is part of my point. If you look at a problem and think, "A high-level language is fast enough," then you are implicitly saying that the latency of a cache miss is acceptable. And IME, in most cases that's true. I mean, heck, I'm using Scheme, so while I may have pointer chases like the Amazon has trees, but I CAN optimize them into array lookups, and my code is compiled: not great, but better than most HLLs.

It's the same argument as always: perf vs. development speed. You can be in the C and FP loop, or the Lisp and JS loop.

These "cost accounting" transactions where schools both charge you and pay you and then net it out are kind of silly. IMO only the net should matter.

If a school "costs" $70k/year but 95% of students get a $50k/year scholarship, are the students really making $50k/year of income? Of course not. The school costs $20k/year; $70 and $50 are both pure fiction.

We should be looking at who actually ends up writing the check and who ends up depositing it, not the stories they tell along the way.

They don't even need to do that. They just cheerfully agree to not scrape you, and wait for you to come back and beg to be re-instated when your search traffic plummets.
Regardless of whether that would be reasonable, is it actually true? I know that the United States has specific rules for "public accommodations," which are private properties that are generally accessible to the public, like retail businesses. Property owners in this case don't have complete control over who enters their property. The obvious example is refusal of service due to membership of a protected class like race or religion.

So I'm not so sure that police will escort you out of a Walmart because they caught you taking a picture of the parking lot with your smartphone.

He didn't say that all criticism is bad. From the article: "some criticism is useful, and that you should pay attention to, but that's not normally what gets people down"

> Most people have highly adaptable bodies and can train themselves to be a "morning person".

I disagree. If it were that simple (with some work, obviously), more would easily be able to train themselves to be "night people" to work overnight shifts. And my experience working nights disagreed. Some folks just cannot handle the sleep and waking times of the shift, others get to a point that they have trouble being productive. A few find it unsafe to drive home afterwards.

I think we are flexible and adaptable to a point, but there is a limit before you find health and sleep suffers a bit too much. For most, nights would push the envelope, but the early mornings do it for a few of us.

Perhaps you have a point. But in most cases when medication is prescribed it's because the condition is debilitating. I can speak from experience that when a child is incapable of sustained play, overwhelmed by the interactions, and has trouble with going to the bathroom that we aren't talking about a narrow band of acceptability. Your comment, like so many others here, demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the real problem.

I've seen the absolutely amazing affects of non-stimulant ADD medication and it's not chemical enforcement of normal, it is treatment of a disease.

In the last couple years of the PhD, the only class I take is dissertation credit, which is in essence just doing research for my advisor.

"Tuition" in this case is arguably just an administrative device by which the university siphons some money off of my advisor's grants in exchange for the right to employ me as a research assistant.

I guess the other side of the argument is that tuition represents the value of access to my advisor (which apparently fluctuates seasonally, cratering to zero during the summer...), and my advisor('s grant) pays me for my labor, and I (my advisor's grant...) pay(s) the university for access to for my advisor.
Losing a critical customer and following up to get feedback as to why it happened seems like something you should listen to that also gets you down. Not mutually exclusive.

I think the main reason is CAtlList class encapsulates its own memory pool. It allocates RAM in batches. The default batch size for CAtlList is 10 elements/batch, user-adjustable in constructor, but I kept the default value 10.

The elements are created directly adjacent to each other. This makes iteration faster because RAM locality despite the pointer-based data structure.
Your math is wrong, because you assume a household consumes 2500 watts 24/7. That's a pretty insane figure. The only things running constantly in our house are the fridge and the modem. Even if you add computer, laptop, lights it's still an order of magnitude less than 2500w.
ah, overlapping use of the word 'service' here. I meant the internal server service/process (e.g: uwsgi) if it doesn't watch for changes.

I think restarting an entire container for such small-scale changes is a bit much. Personally, I often resort to using a development server on the active project most of the time, it's a dirty solution with the consequence being that I've negated some of the advantages of my setup - if your server software is fast at restarting, you could throw in some sort of watcher.
