As I said, Pinterest has cancelled one product (Instaparser) as part of the acquisition which had some customers. They are currently keeping the main product (Instapaper), but we will have to see if that is a long term thing. Pinterest picked some customers to keep and some to cancel.
I had a similar experience where my 3rd grade teacher was pretty much solely responsible for getting me medicated. I took Adderall every day from 3rd grade to about Sophomore year of high school, when I convinced my parents that I was capable of managing myself without it. At the time, I detested it because it subdued my extroverted nature, for instance, I would read books at recess instead of playing kickball or talking with friends. After graduating undergrad just fine and landing a software engineering gig, I looked the medication again, and it's a lot more helpful than I remember giving it credit for. My personal hypothesis is that the dose I had as a kid was a bit too strong, but the one insight I gained from taking it after being off of it for so long is that I don't absolutely need it to function, but it sure makes things a hell of a lot easier for me.

Obviously, this is just anecdotal, but my experience seemed similar enough to yours that I thought I might share a hypothetical answer to your question.

I didn't see the author advocating for making them comfortable. Not being dismissive and snide still allows you to be critical in a constructive way.

By "established powers" I meant the people with enough political power to influence educational and medical policy.

As long as everyone with significant influence is comfortable with the status quo, there's little pressure to search for other options, even if many parents might prefer another option.
The environmental conditions of a 'scorched' Earth aren't themselves that big a problem. The bigger problem is the disparity between how many people are on Earth now, and how many people we can support in those new environmental conditions.

As usual: humanity's primary challenge is humanity.
Introducing DataForm (Beta) for NativeScript
My point was that in the broader scheme of things, a trivial number of people have even heard of Instaparser, let alone those who have heard about it, care about it, have signed up for an account, used it for anything beyond a side project, and are actually paying money for it.

I'm not sure how accurate the data is but the USGS have a GIS map of turbine locations - http://eerscmap.usgs.gov/windfarm/. This website (http://www.awea.org/resources/statefactsheets.aspx?itemnumbe...) also states that "Every state in the United States has either an operational wind energy project, a wind-related manufacturing facility, or both. Approximately 1,000 utility scale wind projects – which represent 74,512 megawatts (MW) and over 48,800 wind turbines – are installed across 40 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico and Guam. There are also more than 500 wind manufacturing facilities spread across 43 states."

Yes, CO2 was into the single-digit parts per thousand for much of the dinosaur era. I have no idea how that affected plant growth, but even if that's the cause, it seems tenuous to look at Mesozoic plant growth and assume modern agricultural crops will imitate them. Certainly far more tenuous than the evidence that climate change is causing damage and will cause more.

I guess that's how Flex is different from a menstrual cup. Not being a woman, I can't say how important those things are. I'd guess that they're not worth the extra $20/month, but maybe they are.

10s of billions of requests per second sounds like it needs a new term compared to 10s of billions of requests per day.
Yes, of course. That's very true. But there's a reason I used the words "common denominator" to explain the situation. I'd also appreciate and thank receiving the email. The social media sharing makes one feel less-valued. I'd rather people individually contact, to show that they care. Social media sharing is a detached sharing. It is a lazy man's ideal situation.

Google Duo Missed the Video Chat Mark?
The mouse scroll override is extremely frustrating with a trackpad. Any site that does that just doesn't care about their users having a terrible experience. Mice and trackpads are already configured to a users preference - why push a custom movement, because the UX designer thought they knew better?
Right, that's a big part of the lag. If climate change causes civilization to collapse, it'll still take decades or centuries for the built-up CO2 to drop back to normal levels. Plus the fact that emissions won't stop right away just because a bunch of people start starving.
We use it heavily on multiple projects across languages, and for the most part it works very well. We've had some pain about sharing proto definitions across languages and keeping them in sync. It's probably a much smaller problem when you've got a company-wide monorepo like Google, but you'll definitely have to be vigilant about your build processes to make sure you have the latest definitions shared.

Some of the language bindings (Ruby) started off feeling experimental quality when we began the project, but overall it's been a huge win for us versus HTTP+JSON. I'm sure a non-zero portion of the benefit has been using protobufs at all, but gRPC gives us a great way to generate clients for every language we use without worrying.
For reference, that's $300,000/person. Alaska's annual state budget is $13.8 billion [0]. $180 million / $13.8 billion = ~0.94% of the annual budget spent on 600 people out of the ~740,000 who live in Alaska [1]. (I'm aware that Alaska is not footing the entire bill.). I'd be interested in how the town came up with that $180 million figure.

Not to mention that that's only $300k per person. If you're building shelter for even half of the population that's going to account for a majority of the $180 million.

That's a very good observation. I grew up on the line (in Topeka). I believe it is roughly where Western expansion had reached at the time the transcontinental railroad was finished. I don't know if correlation equals causation there. It's also a line where water starts to be less available in Kansas and areas south.
> We have nearly a century of usage which suggests these drugs are incredibly safe.

Non-industry funded long term study (30+ years) citation needed.

> We medicate a lot of problems which are caused/worsened by society. We need a solution: Either we fundamentally restructure society, or we medicate.

I think this is a false dichotomy, not backed by any credible research and is a clever way for the pharmacy industry to sell drugs instead of society expending effort on alternative solutions.

edit (To clarify): Specifically you are jumping from "lot of problems which are caused/worsened by society" to a polarized choice of "medicate" or "fundamentally restructure society". But it should be clear that there is a whole field of available approaches which aren't "fundamental restructuring" which can attempt to alleviate such problems and unless research has enumerated and depleted all other available gradual options, this again, is a bogus dichotomy.

asm.js has valid, correctly-behaving integers, and asm.js works correctly on non-asm.js-aware implementations, so the lack of a native integer doesn't seem like a problem.

The emitted code might have lots of "|0"s in it, but I don't see many people complaining about the beauty of their C compiler's generated object code and the lack of native anything-other-than-integers.
that's because Stepanov named and shamed standard library and compilers implementors whose standard library wasn't compliant/fast enough.
> If it takes some amount of core-competence to simply hello world in a given language, then a code-base that uses that language automatically signals higher general aptitude of the programmer.

There is a competing force though: if a language is flat out difficult to use, then much of the programmer's ability will be spent getting the damned thing to work.

Passing the ACID3 test suite with a browser written by hand entirely in Brainfuck is a clear indication of a highly skilled programmer. That doesn't mean you should build a business on Brainfuck though :)

Any plans for rust lang bindings? (would prefer to avoid FFI to c++)
I looked, and it seems to be about double (though figures disagree). And I wonder if this isn't simply a difference in educational systems and expectations of children.

I'm in Norway, and children play quite a bit, even in school. They take frequent breaks, have outdoor recess (in nearly all weather), and have no homework. The general attitude is that kids should be kids and not have to worry about stuff. Sure, there is more pressure as the child grows up, but it isn't comparable. School days are shorter as well. Far cry from what I remember as a kid in the US or what I see now. Little in the way of recess, homework starts early. I had a few hours every night at age 11. Sit still, be quiet for hours, do all the worksheets.

I'm guessing there are kids with ADHD that might not need medication, merely time to learn and develop coping mechanisms. Perhaps some children wouldn't have such a problem in the one system whereas in the other would be quite a disruption.

I have nothing to back this up, just a theory.
Yeah, still have my Be CDs stored somewhere.

However regarding Microsoft, I actually think that vendors were as guilty as Microsoft.

They could have chosen not to take Microsoft's discount and try to sell alternative OSes, even if it meant having to face a few challenges.

The one that takes is as guilty as the one that gives.
You can make that argument for most if not all mental disorders (cf. Erving Goffman). The fact is that persons with ADHD face significant difficulties functioning in modern society and suffer as a result, which is our best criteria for treating a mental issue as a disease.

Wow there is a lot misinformation around here. You mention Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, but you forget to mention the the indigenous population of North Africa, the Berbers. We're still here people we've been here since before the Phoenicians and Romans. Northwest africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) is to this day majority berber (amazigh). Romans occupied north Africa, Byzantines, Vandals, Arabs and Turks, and eventually the French, but there was not a population replacement. Recent genetic population studies of the Maghreb have proved this (try google). Romanization and then eventually Arabization was a cultural process. The majority population of North Africa is still Berber and about 40-50% continue to speak Berber.

These results are not a surprise as North African kingdoms were very well integrated into the Roman and Byzantine empires. The Romans used to call us the Numidians in the east (eastern Algeria) and the Mauri in the west (west of Algiers to Morocco). The word Moor is derived from Mauri.. The daughter of queen Cleopatra and Mark Antony was married to one of our kings (Juba). Also the oldest medieval skeleton recovered in the south of france is of berber stock, there was even a Roman emperor of North African origin (Septimius Severus).

Anyway, we didn't go anywhere, we're still here, but the way we identify has changed for some of us. Just as the Italians no longer call themselves Romans.
"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."
Under conditions of increased CO2 availability, plants tend to decrease waster usage and sequester more carbon. Growth rates are faster, but require increased mineral availability. Unfortunately, nitrogen levels in plants decrease in high-atmospheric CO2 conditions, which leads to lower protein concentrations. As a result, consumption crops provide less energy and nutrition when consumed.

So, all in all, the downsides outweigh the upsides -- faster growth, lower nutrition, more aggressive soil depletion, and increased water runoff. On the bright side, carbon sequestration increases up to 40%, so the efficacy of planting forests as a sequestration measure will increase.

As for biodiversity -- well, dieoffs are already outpacing speciation. Unless you believe in abiogenesis, the trendline is moving sharply downward.
I think the point is that access to clean water wont just be a problem for the poorest.
I wonder if they're going to go in the direction of requiring those big home battery systems with every personal PV install? It would drive the install price up a fair bit, but could theoretically smooth out the demand on the power grid to avoid these problems. In fact it could be a better situation than we have today for a place like Hawaii. The battery backed solar homes would start needing grid power in the middle of the night, roughly the time demand is otherwise at its lowest.
It seems to me this is only going to handle the most trivial kind of technical debt. This kind of tool can't manage the way you organized your codebase, for instance. There's more to refactoring than find-and-replace.
The answer will probably be complex and unpleasant: We'll get serious climate disruptions before people get serious. We'll need to choose to deliberately forego energy sources, and energy is tightly linked to economic growth. The nuclear proponents will have to demonstrate that nuclear power can be economical and safe. If it is not economical, as it has not been so far, it is useless.

If we are past the point of preventing large scale calamity, geoengineering will probably have to be part of the solution. It's very risky, not least because it will lead to complacency if it works at all.
That's the plan. No breaking API changes for a long time. We'll have additive stuff in the 1.x point releases. Tentative plan is to cut 1.1 two months after 1.0 with patch releases in the interim for any necessary bug fixes.

It's not necessarily an all-or-nothing solution.

Consumers value accurate information about drug safety, so there is abundant incentive for a wide variety of different groups to offer a list of safe drugs.

Since most Americans also interface with a private health insurance company and often private medical groups or hospitals, it's not just the individual who determines which safe list to trust.

For example:

Ronald's cardiologist might trust a safe list produced by a professional organization of cardiologists. Ronald's wife may be from the UK and trust the UK's trusted list. Ronald may be a customer of Aetna which may use its own list.

If Ronald is prescribed a particular drug, he can verify that it's listed on any lists he cares about. Perhaps he's recently gotten interested in Anti-Vaxer lore, and the drug is blacklisted by his group. He can go back to his doc and request another option. The same would happen if Aetna hasn't added the drug to its formulary (for whatever reason).

Ronald may also be cost conscious and may also have a safe list of highly economical drugs, and may ask his doctor about the implications of choosing a far less expensive option that was popular in the 1970s. This drug may have been removed from Aetna's list due to influence from the pharma industry, but Ronald and his doctor can look at the available information and make an informed decision.

With pharmaceuticals we're talking about a very simple blacklisting or whitelisting scheme. Most well-known drugs are quite well understood. The "important" area for making the white listing (or blacklisting) decision lies mostly with brand new drugs. It's silly to think that a single entity can somehow merge the interests of young and old and derive a safe period of time for a drug to stay off the market. It's also important to recognize the intense pressure on regulators not to pull a drug that has already been approved and whose side effects may be a bit worse than initially understood (such as Vioxx).

So in a broad sense, the key is decentralization, to make corruption more costly, and focusing our trust at the local level to the docs who we trust with our care who can make an informed decision guided by whitelist/blacklist offerings from a variety of sources.
I absolutely agree, but not everyone is gifted with good taste. Try the Instapapr Text bookmarklet!
You may not know their own personal preference when writing code. But you can know what will make their job easier. Strong typing for instance will make refactoring easier. Good perf tooling will make analyzing performance easier and so on.

> The hyperbole in every criticism of Node must be there for a reason. I think it is more a reflection on the state of mind of the critic rather than the language.

"It's telling that none of the posts defending Node.js are talking about it's technical merits. They're all saying:

> JS is a safe, long-term bet. It's tentacles have made it into every platform and use case out there. Backend, frontend, embedded, mobile, desktop, etc.

By that argument, Java is a better language than JavaScript.

There are a lot of established languages that aren't going anywhere. And certainly with WebAssembly in the works, I'm not as confident that JS will be popular in two decades as you are.

Former Cython developer here.

To get some perspective to this, consider the alternatives for a scientific programmer: MATLAB, R, FORTRAN, Mathematica, or if you're hip, Julia -- all specifically made for scientific programming with 0% general purpose/web/etc. development going on.

So I would say that the scientific Python community has been doing extremely well in terms of even using a language that isn't designed ground up for scientific computing.

I could write a lot about why that is (and how some of the CS and IT crowd doesn't "get" scientific computing..) -- I'll refrain, I just wanted to say that were you see something and get frustrated, I see the same picture and think it's actually an incredible success, to bring so many scientists onto at least the same ball park as other programmers, even if they are still playing their own game.
