I think the 1st of these was "translated" from metric; the latter sounds much more reasonable.

Today I learned, weather varies by location. So one person saying weather is bad in place A will likely produce another person to counter them saying weather in place B is okay.

> A 2-year-old was found unattended after his parents allegedly left home to play Pokémon Go.

As a parent to young children, I would say pretty damn high, actually. Kids do stupid things all the time, and if you aren't there, and they know you aren't there, there is no limit to the stupid things a 2 year old can do. It's a normal part of growing up, but that doesn't make it safe to do it alone in the slightest.

That said, I agree with the gist of the article overall.
uh... who is "we"?

JIT-compiling your C code covers one of the two reasons a Python programmer might write C code (dropping down to C to do some mathematical operation faster).

How do you handle the other reason people write C code-- to bridge Python code to an external native library? In that case, you'd be JIT-compiling the bridge itself, but your native library remains "opaque [insert language here] stuff" that the JIT can't do anything with.
Have you run into any issues from running all of your scrapers off of AWS, or just from sites detecting that you're accessing large numbers of pages in some sort of obvious pattern? I guess I was hoping there would be sites with more interesting ways to screw with web scrapers (rearranging certain page elements or something) than just throwing up a CAPTCHA.
In game dev, it often matters a lot. The difference between code that takes cache performance into account and code that does not is often measured in frames per second.

16 million Americans seems to correlate fairly well with the medical consensus that around 5% of adults have some degree of ADHD. Perhaps it's not as widely over-diagnosed as sometimes claimed?

" But to suggest there's some biochemical reason for this that's cured by amphetamines seems like pseudoscience to me."

A pseudo science that very strongly runs in families.

A pseudo science that's strongly linked with dopamine transmission.

A pseudo science that has some medical evidence pointing to it being an under development of the frontal lobes.

I suggest you google the field a little.
The same is true for terrorism of course. Terrorism catches our attention because it's morally outrageous, not because it's statistically dangerous to people in Western countries.

But if you talk with "regular people", you'll notice that media coverage gives people an unwarranted fear of outlier events: terrorism, mass shootings, plane crashes, etc.

In reality, almost everyone in the US should fear the real killers: obesity, cancer, stroke, etc.
> The example would perhaps be better if instead of Rectangles and Squares it talked about Windows and FixedAspectWindows.

But, here, I think it should be quite clear that the solution is to make clear that independence of the dimensions on the two axes is not a guarantee provided by the Window interface or class. Interdependence of a particular form is guaranteed by FixedAspectWindow, and there might be a similar subtype of FlexibleAspectWindow that guarantees independence, but Window itself should not make any guarantee (and should, if necessary for clarity, expressly disclaim such a guarantee.)

But one thing I think that it is worth highlighting is that the fact that some guarantees of a type are expressable and enforceable through code does not ensure that all are, and the LSP most critically applies to those that are not (since those that are expressed and guaranteed through code won't ever be a problem), but to those that are communicated through other mechanisms, including those communicated implicitly through naming.
Good opportunity to build an OSS alternative? Or even a side-project... in the possible event Instapaper gets sidelined. That always seems to happen. With the exception of maybe Reddit.

There are professional day traders who earn an income over the long run by day trading. This is a true fact. It seems like you are trying to contradict this fact… or do I misunderstand what you are saying?

The model I gave was the simplest model I could think of that would let you test the theory that skill is a factor in day trading. It was an illustration of how someone with mathematical training might think about statistics like "80% of day traders lose money" without jumping to the false conclusion that all traders eventually lose money.
Primarily performance, HTTP HOL[1] kills latencies and wastes a lot of resources, especially with micro services spanning requests recursively to multiple services.

Correct, something that was used already in SPDY and proved to be very handy and convenient so it was kept in HTTP/2.
Now you can get support requests for instapaper too.
It was an awesome phenomena to witness while it lasted. Sadly this is how it is with most games. People get bored if there's no stream of content to keep them engaged. Other games stay on top for so long by continuing to have in-game specials, events, and deals as well as DLC. Everything from Niantic since release has honestly just been catch-up and bug fixes.

7 startup marketing tips that are cost effective
I am kind of disappointed with the people reporting that they have been "suffering" with adhd or add. I was prescribed add/adhd medication from 5th grade until 12th. It wasnt until I started practicing yoga was I able to make myself focus.

I had always, my entire life, HATED taking "my medicine". It changed me, it made me just like everyone else. Now that I am in my later 20's I take pride in the fact that I am "ADD". It is disappointing that people with this gift listen to society and somehow think they are not normal. Take some time and read about benefits of having add/adhd, it will surely put you in a better state of mind.

I will say there are edgecases of people that truly have issues, but I beleive your average add/adhd patient could do without it.

Another thought. We are bashing these kids that have problems conforming to or being a part of our schooling standards. Why do they have to conform, why are more schools not conforming to the add/adhd children? Why must we have to change our natural state of mind? It doesn't make sense to me that we have to take drugs and alter the natural way we were made because we are outspoken in class, or dont want to listen to a teacher lecture.

Rant is over.

Haha, yes - a link to Tumblr with a comment 'Up next' by the username 'overcast' in a discussion about Instapaper.
This is what I have noticed in just my friend circle.

I was never an active Pokemon Go player, but few of my friends were really into the game. Every Friday we would go out for a walk, in near by park and they will have their phone out and be catching Pokemons. I guess it was just how much more I can catch thing. They always wanted to get the rares ones. Who doesn't right? Last 2 weekends I have noticed 2 of my friends didn't care much. And, slowly, the interest faded away. Now we all going for paint ball.

I don't know if it's Ninatic not coming up with good updates or its just a common thing with every mobile game. Angry birds, Candy crush and now Pokemon Go?

I don't think we can make that judgement without more data about how the house was set up, how close help was, and how far away the parents went.

For example, going outside and down the street half-a-block for five minutes while your child is watching their favorite show is quite a bit different than leaving them working in the kitchen with knives laying around.
From what I could tell, some tech (front end developers and data people), as well as product designers, and some engineering management. I'm not connected to the company, but that's what I could tell from the public info (articles and LinkedIn).
Neat idea.

As a general aside, when publishing documents that start off as LaTeX, putting them on Github (or some other Git hosting service) would potentially allow others to contribute corrections. There are a bunch of typos in the paper that would be trivial to correct, but of course there's no easy way to submit corrections to a PDF.
They do have a self-hosted version but it's probably not what you have in mind since it's quite expensive and is aimed at enterprises. It's called GitHub Enterprise. It's a black box virtual appliance since actually installing and maintaining all of the various services GitHub runs on independently would be a tough sell for a lot of companies.
BTW, recent data shows that Firefox does (on median) about 8 requests per HTTP/2 connection, up from slightly more than 1 on HTTP/1.1

I could see that. A two year old could easily run out into traffic. A 7 or 8 year old, not so much.

I remember years ago about a women who had the police escort a kid to her house because she'd let him bicycle to school (wearing a helmet and it was < 2 miles). That is kinda crazy. When I went to elementary school (early 90s), there was a whole group of kids who walked to school. Sometimes the teacher in charge of the gate would forgot to unlock it and we'd see them all pile up while in homeroom (huge fence, took like 15 min to walk around so most kids would just wait).
VCs' content marketing posts are the bleating edge of technology.

That said, there are some good ones. They are usually written by long-time operators who flipped to investing. Or from VCs with a real sense for data analysis, combined with real-world experience.

One problem VC posts have, for a founder audience, is their level of abstraction. Because VCs are exposed to so many startups, they do see patterns within and across sectors, but that point of view and level of generality aren't usually shared by people in the industry. Also, while the operators may not be exposed the same breadth of businesses, their understanding is much more granular and the VCs' broad theses can ring false, given their very specific conditions.
Have you ever gotten distracted and started thinking about some random bullshit during sex, after only a few minites, despite being very attracted to and in love with your sexual partner? Imagine if that happened every time and how it would affect your relationship. What would your partner say? Now imagine it happened again while you and your partner were discussing the issue.
The research actually looks kind of cool, but this headline and the whole framing of the issue sounds like it was written by an alien. Uh, why?

We judge everything on the basis of perception, not reality. That's just... how this works.

And this is far from the most worrying thing Americans have a dramatically detatched perception of danger about, right now. If you want to really address this issue, and a few others besides, I'd stop worrying about how people relate to kids or parents and start worrying about how they relate to reality.

Cross-Training for Software Engineers – Disclaimer: No Exercise Required
It really, really depends on the kid. With my first, I genuinely wondered why they made childproof cabinet locks and foam corner guards for tables -- she would much rather read a book or play quietly than try to get into the drawers.

Then I had another kid. He'll turn the drawers into stairs and have climbed halfway to the counter in the time it takes you to run to the mailbox.

Point being, kids are all very different from one another, even within the same family. Something that's risky to your kid might not be risky to mine, and vice-versa. Some things are globally risky (pools, hot cars) but you might be surprised at the range of risk any particular child has.

Yes, so what? My son had a bladder infection, and I certainly endorsed the use of drugs to treat that. If there is a real and identifiable condition interfering with a child's quality of life for which there is concrete reason to think that a drug is an effective and remedy for which the risk of other side effects is mild compared to the expected benefit, why shouldn't responsible adults endorse drugging children in that circumstance?

That's exactly what offensive means.

adjective
1. causing resentful displeasure; highly irritating, angering, or annoying:
offensive television commercials.
2. unpleasant or disagreeable to the sense:
an offensive odor.
3. repugnant to the moral sense, good taste, or the like; insulting:
The characterization of the adversary here being some malicious third party, though traditional, is something of a bogeyman as far as actual risk is concerned. Institutions running large mesh networks are in a privileged position to track users in this way.

At Brown University, complete connection logs for each wireless access point have been kept for no less than two years. A group of students last year were given this data and produced a (historical) map of student movement. There is no reason to believe that the University could not or is not rendering such a map in real-time.
This idea of "positive" rights is a dangerous, illiberal notion. Who incurred an obligation to provide healthcare to others? The answer is no one -- not individually or collectively.

Healthcare is a service, like any other service performed by human beings in society with one another. If it isn't performed as charity, then it is performed when the parties involved strike a deal. The alternative is that one person's "positive right" is another's positive slavery.
Or you just move to a locale where scraping is legal, and any contractual terms saying otherwise are null and void.

You're conflating "not medicating" with "not treating", which is exactly the sort of thing that feeds the criticism that U.S. overdiagnosis rates are being driven by the pharmaceutical industry. Behavioral therapy is also effective, and avoids some of the negative impacts of medication. There are studies that compare medicated ADHD patients to untreated ADHD patients over the course of adolescence; but people who are skeptical over the over-prescription of ADHD drugs aren't actually advocating for non-treatment and non-intervention. Almost no one doubts that ADHD is a real problem for some children that requires medication. The question really is about the extent of overdiagnosis in the US, and the long-term use of medication for children, especially very young children. Stimulant drugs are not recommended for children under 6, and yet still something like 1% of US children under 6 are taking them. Both ADHD diagnoses and pharmaceutical treatment is far, far more prevalent in the US than other developed countries, and it is certainly a good question as to why. Parents naturally have a lot of anxiety about their children's schooling, and the marketing of ADHD plays upon and exacerbates that anxiety (to the extent that if you mention any hiccups in your child's adjustment to school, people immediately begin talking about ADHD). It is also true that kindergarten is the new first grade in terms of literacy expectations, which means more long, boring desk work for young children who are frequently seeing their exercise time reduced or eliminated. Those are problems also.
There is no such thing as "perceived but unreal risk". A risk is some sort of estimate that harm will occur: a likelihood. No risk is real; it is always perceived. There is only the question of how rationally founded is that estimate. Some risks can be established via measurement. If the statistics give some risk as 0.1%, but you perceive it subjectively as 30%, then there is a degree to which your perception of risk is unrealistically inflated. Neither the 0.1% nor the 30% are 'real' though; both are just a tool for guessing about the future.

We judge people when their behavior hints at a risk estimate which differs from ours. Anyone who estimates a risk lower than you do is reckless; anyone who estimates it higher is a wimp.

Sometimes, estimates of risk are just culturally enshrined B.S., not founded in anything. If you don't protect yourself from a certain risk in a certain culturally endorsed, widely practiced manner, then you're an ignorant or crazy cultural outsider. Likewise if you go too far in protecting yourself from something.
This seems dishonest. Everything you said happens regardless of language. Being a go developer doesn't mean you know more about how goroutines are handles on your operating system. The very same techniques you use to expose performance metrics and analytics happen in go, java, ruby, python et all that happen in node and i'd wager that node/javascript has an abundance of profiling and performance tooling for people to embrace.

Sure.. some developers may not understand the implications of everything they do, but if the app has implication that impact their performance they will discover them.

Not everything needs to be over optimized, over engineered or overly complex.

As an Ops dude i find it infinitely easier to scale/manage nodejs apps than i do java.. For instance i can solve some issues by scaling out node wider across more machines than having big optimized single machine and an implication of going wider means if some things crash, the others handle it and because i go far/wide i've chosen to optimize on availability/performance in different ways than you.

I may know that a node app crashes after x days for leaky memory and deal with it because i have mesos/marathon watching alive pages and killing/restarting the container and redeploying the app or autoscaling it up and down as need be.

Replace node with anything else and you have the same problems.. we see 100's of jvms released a year.. many versions of go.. many point releases of ruby.. python.. its a never ending battle that has to be fought a lot more deeply than any one person or one developer ever can.

and lets be honest, even the best node app is building something to build the best front end so letting front end developers focus on being front end engineers and helping them solve any issues thereof to fill in the blanks is not a bad way to do business.

Expecting everyone to over optimize and over engineer and over theorize about how things should be is a huge waste of time.

Everything in Alaska is expensive. It all comes from far away into a very spread out area with difficult terrain and weather conditions. Many places can be reached only by air (quick but expensive) or, in some reasons, barge or ice bridge. In the bigger cities (Anchorage, Fairbanks), things are pricey, but the smaller villages are eye-wateringly expensive. My brother and I paid $4.50 for a single warm can of Shasta Root Beer in a small village in Southwest Alaska. We saw a bag of Toastitos going for ~$15.

At these prices, even the boxes and packing tape are going to hurt a bit.
Interesting research. Looks like a cognitive bias related to the reverse-Halo Effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect ). The mother left for some morally bad reason, so the predicted events receive bad associations (larger risk).

Sounds easily exploitable too. Want to advertise something dangerous? Just show people doing it in morally good situations.
