> Overdiagnosis at that rate means that millions of children are being given amphetamines, when they shouldn't be!

Only if you define overdiagnosis as "diagnosis relative to other countries" and not "diagnosis relative to the percentage of people with the ailment". If you use the first, we probably overdiagnose cancer, since countries like Mali have a much lower diagnosis rate...

> children would normally develop out of the ADHD spectrum with time.

And until they normally develop out, they would be behind in every measurable attribute as what we expect in their growth through school. Avoiding administrating a treatment which works because of our fear of the treatment is measurably bad for those affected. See, again, cancer and chemotherapy.

This is a big concern of mine. One of the grand results of local environmental regulation plus globalization has been to export pollution from first world nations to third world nations.

Pollution (at least Carbon pollution) is a global issue, and tackling it only at the local level has proven to be ineffective. It's a shame that it is politically impossible for the UN to make its own version of the EPA--complete with an enforcement arm that has teeth. Without it dirty manufacturers simply go where the pollution laws are least stringent (or at least poorly enforced) and continue to kill us all slowly.

Despite any implementation problems, I don't believe that someone should have a worse chance of keeping their life in the face of disease just because they are not as wealthy. That alone means that society is considering some people's lives more important than others, which is not a society that I would like to live in.

> They have largely Visigoth ancestry, but are from North Africa.

The berbers do not have "largely visigoth" ancestry. The berbers are descendents of Numidians and Mauri, and they have a north african origin and the majority of north africans (algeria, morocco, tunisia) regardless of language (arabic or berber) can be identified genetically by the "berber marker." Recent population studies prove the despite numerous military conquests of north west africa there was not a population replacement.

I'm not OP, but I'm interested in the fact that you specified C++14. Are there any features specific to C++14 that you use? I have about two university classes worth of experience with low-level software, but I can really only see the deprecation attribute and binary literals being useful? All of the other language additions (added support for type deduction, templates, lambdas, and the mixing of all three to various degrees) seem like they would take up too many resources to be useful.
This article points out a few right things, but also skips over the wrong parts.

Namely, the amortised time complexity of dynamic lists.

Amortised analysis treats operations not as single events but looks at the time complexity over the span of many operations (through something called "Accounting"). An initial "investment" of array over-allocation will be amortised by inserting, but only over time. Inserting into an ArrayList will be in O(1) given enough insert operations.

Essentially, you over-allocate in order to save time. You're trading time complexity for space complexity.

A really good explanation on amortised analysis can be found here on Wikipedia, which explicitly treats ArrayList:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amortized_analysis#Dynamic_Arr...

As always, a look into the source code of your language of choice helps. In Python, a list object over-allocates using a very peculiar, but finely tuned formula: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/09dc3ec1713c677f71ba7...

I think of GRPC as HTTP/JSON with most of the gotchas fixed for me. HTTP2 makes things like concurrent requests easy. Protobuf fixes schema problems (and I think is technically replaceable if you love your JSON). With the GRPC/protobuf definitions you can easily get clients for many languages.

I'm sure it's possible to create the same thing with HTTP/JSON (and swagger?), but I find it to be more work.
Perf is one reason indeed; however the integration with protobuf and the tools to generate stubs for various languages from that interface are also very helpful. gRPC is what SOAP should have been, IMO.

The conclusion of the article is a bit ridiculous. tl;dr healthcare isn't a right because we can only spend a finite amount.

Yeah, ok, but that dismisses priority entirely. Scarcity is still in play, so you treat the immediate needs first. I think we do have capacity in the healthcare system to do it that way. The author of the article basically bucketed a sprained ankle and a stroke in the same category, and concluded, nope, we don't have enough money to treat all that cancer, heart attack, stroke and scrapes and bruises equally, so it can't be a right. I guess, but who's really arguing for the right to get an ace bandage right now? Just because we have to prioritize access doesn't mean healthcare can't be a right. Today we prioritize by medical need and by who can pay. Single payer means everyone can pay, so prioritize by medical need. The right can be subject to objective need.
Hi RubyPinch,

1. Python Plagiarism : I have send message to author who created python tutorial, but have not received any message.Enough time has been given to him/her to act on copied content.

2. About PDO, I just see this message :- https://www.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/4ynd0e/php_data_object... and i have responded accordingly.

3. And yes, about my terms and condition plagiarism, I actually copied from here :- http://rocky.usercv.com/post/13/terms-condition and that's my product too, but content was written by my friend on usercv who actually is CA , but i literally had no Idea, whatsoever , as those content in usercv was strictly copied from mycv terms and condition page.

That is horrible start for me and i won't blame any one , i should have done myself and Now, i have whole night to fix everything up as quickly as possible, before i see my self in errata list, and i don't belong to those list.

Also, I have started getting feeling of restricting the idea of the w3clan platform to self , as i think, plagiarism is never going to stop in such platform. People will keep on copying content from other source to here.

If any one has better idea on how this can be achieved with out plagiarism, you are heartily welcome, else i am shutting down user registration option forever.

No, it's not done that way - there are more factors than "fidgeting in class" that psychiatrists take into account when diagnosing ADHD.

And frankly, if they're put on Ritalin and stop fidgeting and start paying attention, then it's probably a valid diagnosis in the first place. People without ADHD would end up fidgeting more, not less, if given amphetamines.

To send any message to Apple’s push service, you need to have a certificate.

That same certificate can be used to replace your app on the store, or so on.

Basically, that is your one key to the kingdom.

So, I obviously can’t give everyone who hosts a server for the app that key.

So I have to host a server transmitting all those pings then.

Even ignoring the obvious DDoS risk, and assuming it’s only used in good ways, I end up with having to buy an entire additional server, just for that.

And I still leak metadata, which – as the NSA has shown – can be easily correlated with who is whom if you have enough data.
Ahaha. I agree with one minor modification. There is a fourth type that is much more common outside of of SV, especially in New York: the "PE VC". These are guys that should've been private equity guys, and they don't have operating experience at startups, or tech companies. They have banking backgrounds.

They look at deals through the lens of like "how am I teeing this up to be acquired by who?"

They also retain a vestigial tendency to just look for deal volume, so they're always trying to get one little startup to acquire another one, way to early, in different businesses with different cultures and teams because of the crummiest whiteboard reasoning about strategy or synergy. Like 'this company makes speech-to-text IVR software, this company does food delivery...lets merge the two and have voice-based food delivery.' That's actually not even a bad enough example. But they seriously strongly prefer 'doing bad deals' to 'not doing deals' as if they were still living in a fee-based world.

These are the VCs you avoid.

I agree with most of your saying, but the second rant is by Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js. Often these rants come from people who are very competent and know what they're talking about, but anybody can get burned out by working too much, and the annoyances of flaws can become overwhelming. It's worth remembering that we can always iterate and improve on what we have, even if it's good enough, if nothing else than for the sanity of the people who have to work on cleaning it up later.

What happened to his family? It's great that he achieved enlightenment and all, if that's what actually happened, but it's very curious that an epiphany centered around his failure to uphold his responsibilities to his loved ones resulted in his abandoning said loved ones for the remainder of his life.

I hesitate to say this makes a good example of the essential self-absorption I've observed in a lot of Zen philosophy, but this makes a good example of the essential self-absorption I've observed in a lot of Zen philosophy.

Stalin's Grand Daughter
Here's a question: How often does this matter? No, not that big O can fool you. That always matters.

How often does it matter that non-contigouous memory access is slow? Really. How much do those few useconds really matter? In most apps, I would guess that a CPU cache miss isn't noticable by humans.

Yes, non-contiguous structures are significantly slower, but if you don't need to be as fast as possible, eliminating them for that reason only (assuming that there is any non-perf reason to stick with them) is a premature optimization.

But if you ARE optimizing, yeah, you need to think about how often worst-case occurs. Because big O only tells you about worst-case. NOT the average.

In most cases, notifications might be delayed by several hours, yes.

Or never happen at all.

Or just work normally.

Depending on when the heuristics think you are less likely to use your phone.

There is one way to keep getting notifications, by using proprietary Google services, and sending a ping from your server via Google to the device, or sending the actual notification that way.

Which, for email, means either everyone who does that has to build every app themselves from source, or you have to send that data to a third party server which then sends it to Google
"People need a lot of things. You’ll die without food long before you’ll die without health care, and yet few people say we need to “take the profit motive out of farming”."

"Why is health care Special"

I tell you why healthcare is special. You cannot buy healthcare at the cost of food. I can buy ramen noodles and survive for cheap. Sure it is not the best but I won't frikin die. But If I get cancer and cannot afford a 100k Bill (yes, I know a family member who got that bill) , I will die. See ?

Again, people are talking about making Healthcare a right in America is mostly due to the fact that it is too expensive and difficult to deal with. If that was not the case and healthcare becomes as cheap as food, I bet people will stop the whole "healthcare is a right" movement. I would.

EDIT: Read this fun fact [0]. The average cost of health insurance is $17,500 PER FAMILY . Now this means that you may get covered for diseases such as Cancer but that does not mean you won't get a huge bill even after insurance. Now imagine you had no insurance and you get cancer.
Compare this to average cost of food [1] for a family of 4

On top of other answers, I see other advantages:

* streaming in any direction (client->server, server->client, both). Not something easily done with a simple HTTP/JSON endpoint, all handled for you

* Arbitrary cancellation from the client or the server
Health care should probably not be a right, but universal heathcare has a lot to recommend it from a social and economic policy perspective.
For example, people who can't afford to see a doctor will eventually end up in the ER, at enormous cost that can't be recouped, and that could likely have been prevented.
Also, having a maximally large healthy working population is something that has a direct economic impact

That's a very good question. Many SaaS companies I know do encrypt their data. As you said though, there's many that don't. I think it might not be mentioned because why the hosting provider might indeed have access to the data, it's usually in their ToS that they do not inspect customer's data unless served a government order.

Maybe then a SaaS company can reasonable say, the hosting company isn't looking at the data thus it's not considered sharing with them. That's my thought behind it anyway. I'm interested in what others might think.
I use a backup over the net provider for all my photos and videos, it costs me about $5 a month.

This is one of the reasons I started my food side project https://bestfoodnearme.com I realized if I shared an amazing dish on a social network, it would get lost in the timeline black hole after a short duration.
>That alone means that society is considering some people's lives more important than others

No it doesn't. Healthcare does not happen through some fictitious consensus of "society". It happens through individuals interacting one with one another and forming a natural order. To claim that healthcare is a "right" ultimately means healthcare providers are slaves.
So your assertion is that the planet is a perfectly steady state, static system?
All the other questions are still relevant. I mean if the latency is acceptable, Amazon S3 could store the file and is probably more reliable for handling replication as a backup strategy than anything most developers could implement themselves on hardware under their control...actually, I'm thinking a 'cloud' approach is probably the most robust generic strategy and a service like AWS provides good documentation and self-help support and has a rich third party ecosystem.

Pay for what you use pricing can be issue, but at a small scale it's often cheaper than alternatives because usage is low and there's no minimum.

Anyway, absent information facilitates absent specificity.

You may find some cheap, easy gains by adding thermostatically controlled fans to your attic's soffet vents. It can get very hot in an attic on hot, sunny days, even if the floors below are held in comfort by A/C.

Has anyone in the Python community thought of doing something similar, e.g. using PyPy to build a C interpreter, maybe re-using front-end components (pre-processor, parser, type-checker, etc.) from an existing C compiler? In fact, it might be useful to build an interpreter for something like LLVM IR, or even x86 machine code, in order to gain access to a bunch of existing languages.

Once access is gained at that low (ABI?) level, abstractions and interfaces can be built to hide the horribleness. The performance would initially be terrible, but some targetted, profiling-guided optimisation might get it down to reasonable levels; in a similar way to a JS interpreter adding specific optimisations to make asm.js code run fast.

I use Mobile Safari on iOS but Chrome on macOS. This means that, as much as I love Safari's Reading List, it's basically "unavailable" to me on the desktop. To put something in the Reading List from Chrome, I have to focus the URL bar, copy the URL, open Safari, paste and go to the URL, and then ⌘⇧D to put it in the list. (I can also right-click on the URL bar in Chrome and use the "Add to Reading List" OS Service, but the mousing involved is actually nearly as much work as the series of keyboard-gestures in the above.)

The fact that there's no way to get anything to actively sync between Chrome and iCloud is maddening. Why has nobody reverse-engineered the iCloud API and made a Chrome extension to talk to it?
