DEA's primary objective is justifying its existence, so it's a bit surprising it didn't happen already. Terrible decision.

Obama signed the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act into law a few weeks ago, which has a $900MM budget over a few years. I'd wager a lot of that money will go to makers/marketers of Narcan and other suboptimal solutions.

Kratom leaf has never killed anyone. Extracts have never killed anyone (there are few companies that do a supercritical CO2 extraction of mitragynine and 7-OHM). There were a few O-DSMT deaths misattributed to kratom, and IIRC a few more cases of people having kratom in their system while they died from something else. Because you can't OD on kratom, it's a tremendously powerful tool in harm reduction for recovering heroin addicts. This ban is a terrible decision that could easily lead to the death of those who turn back to the substances that kratom helped them kick.

The most telling thing in this whole story is that salvia is still legal. Why? Because it's not competing with big pharma.

Tangental but interesting bit of trivia: the American Kratom Association's executive director is Nancy Pelosi's son.

We work closely with clients to determine the exact qualifications and skill set needed in a potential candidate as well as interview candidates extensively to ensure their experience and needs are appropriate for the job and culture offered by our clients.visit @ http://goo.gl/R480wS
Shaping the specification I would certainly not have a problem with, but because I do not have a direct communication channel with the client, I must rely on my manager to be a good, accurate "translator" between me and the client and the other way around.

Often however, the manager takes a bit too much "artistic liberty" in relying what I said to the client, usually announcing features as done when that's not remotely the case or worse still, selling features as done which I don't even know about yet.

I've also learnt that when a client asks "How long?", the manager seems eager to give an eagerly short date, usually around two weeks, for even complex feature, before consulting the engineers and has the whole "I know what I am talking about here.", attitude.
Nice idea, however now I am starring the download and I see PiBaekry.Setup.exe 1.0GB? Just to generate couple of scripts, which is basically what I would need!?
Programming with Monads, e.g. the IO Monad, is pure functional programming. It is a common misconception that it isn't. You have full referential transparency and sound composition, since no effects are actually performed until the computation is run/interpreted.
You'd be taking a big risk once a watermarked release gets you. Perhaps you could blame it on a rogue employee and get away with it. Still, big risk.

> for someone you're paying well into 6 figures for

My first programming job was $32k/year out of college(this was in 2011).
I had a similar problem to yours where I would eventually forget to use the application, or just not remember to check it after finishing my current task. That lead to some fun times. My solution; at least for my work todo list, was to create a Python script and use it with the $PERIODIC callback feature of ZSH to show me my task list every 15 minutes in my shell. Since I'm working in a terminal all day long anyway, this in my face approach helped me create a habit of using my todo list (TaskWarrior) for managing my work tasks.

Though I'm still in search of something that helps in the same way for my personal life; phone and personal computer.

P.S: For the interested in how I implement the periodic call back with TaskWarrior, you can find the relevant files on my Github dotfile (https://github.com/theonejb/dotfiles/tree/master/taskwarrior)

You're wondering what serverless means while I'm trying to work how how a central file-store is "decentralized".
I'd rather do it the other way around. Find people with money to spend and let them pay me (and other developers) for implementing it.
I find it amusing that after all these decades people are still willing to have cultural artefacts being distributed at the whim of corporations rather than passionate archivists who actually care for the work.

So many movies are only available commercially in their objectively worst version (pan and scan, poor subtitles, no subtitles just dubbing, missing scenes, censored scenes, poor audio or poor picture), people who actually care for the film more than the copyright holders go out of their way to combine several awful versions into a version better than commercially available because they actually care about what they're distributing because it's for passion not profit..

How does Flutter compare to Weex[0] on performance?

Weex is based on Vue.js[1], which I find a pleasure to work with on the web, but haven't paid much attention to Weex as it isn't "officially" related to Vue -- which is frustrating especially as Vue enters 2.0.

You shouldn't choose what you believe, you should accept what is.

Otherwise you should be believing in Gods (however mutually exclusive they may be) since:

1) If you believe in God and it doesn't exist, no harm.

2) If you do not believe in God and it does exist, you go straight to Hell.
>That aside, Jeepneys are horrendous vehicles for anything other than their primary use: going from stop to stop on flat ground, while carrying human cargo with a high turnover rate.

Agreed, but that's sort of the point. It's a cheap local solution perfectly suited to local requirements. Similar solutions exist for transporting cargo both on land and sea. It's also produced domestically, which benefits both the price, maintainability, and local economy.

The reason for my comparison was to challenge the points in the article that seem to suggest that the developing world is crying out for a solution like this at this price point. It certainly looks like a decent product, but I can't see it being a game changer in any way.
I work at a product company that works in a very flat way. We accomplish our goals by having a product owner who doesn't actually have any direct authority over the technical team. The technical team is managed by a member embedded within who handles HR-style questions and otherwise works like a peer.

Technical decisions are made by majority vote.

The team handles uninteresting work like documentation, bug fixing, broken builds, and training with full-time promiscuous pair-programming.

This means that attitude and maturity are our most important attributes, as technical skill quickly will be taught while doing regular work. Several times in my career we've had to say to someone, "perhaps this isn't a good fit for you, why don't you start looking..." because they hate the exposure and boring work required to build a massive Enterprise system.

We almost always fix bugs and broken builds immediately, followed by product work. We spend 25% of our time fixing technical debt (this is typically the least fun work!).

Through all this we are able to ship release after release on time, adding in new features and regulatory standards with ease. It's given me hope it _can_ be done, but also that the circumstances to maintain it are almost impossible to force. It requires all the right people in all the right places to change a typical hierarchy into something like this.
This is a great idea. It strikes me that more of the Raspbian configuration ought to be done in this manner.
It does, because of stalemate. In normal chess that is a draw, in chess-with-king-capturing it's usually a loss.

And stalemate is huge, e.g. many K+pawn vs K endgames are drawn because of stalemate, without stalemate a one pawn advantage would be much more significant.
I think that there's two distinct ideas here, and they're fused together. One of them (IMO) is valid, the other is not.

"Programmers spend too much time attention-seeking, or debating online, instead of actually writing code" is a valid topic to debate over; I can see arguments on both sides, but it's certainly a thing that could be argued. The work we do is more important than all the meta-stuff surrounding that work.

"Programmers are too pampered and we should just give them all shitty old computers in shitty offices without perks", though... workspaces are important, as are the tools. A large monitor means I can have more stuff open at once, and I know that I'm more productive when I have an external monitor than when I don't, and I need to cmd-tab a bunch between editor, terminal, and browser.

Companies don't offer good equipment and perks because they're charitable, they do it because it produces results (more often than not).

I'm not sure Snow Crash is really a satire on cyberpunk per se. It's classic SF over-extrapolation of current trends in a funhouse mirror to shed light on things. The first of which is over-privatisation: everything in Snow Crash is a "franchise", including core parts of the government. When YT is arrested she's given a choice of privatised jail providers and justice systems, straight out of the libertarian playbook. The "burbclaves" are what happens when a HOA and gated community upgrades to an armed microstate. And so on.

The other of which is weaponised memes: if these things can be said to be "viral", can you produce a meme or image that's actually an exploit against human wetware?

The review criticises the book for "missing" Google, which I think says more about the reviewer's position in the world. Yes, the world of SC is not dominated by SV companies, but that's not important. The book does contain a souped-up realtime Google Earth, and a "gargoyle" who's a human version of the streetview car.

(Stross takes "weaponised ideas" in a different direction in the Laundry Files, which are essentially Yes Minister/Lovecraft crossover fiction)
Interesting, but if they used extracted keys from other devices, it doesn't change what I said.
Perhaps machine learning can also disrupt economists and politicians and come up with better theories, models and solutions how to best re-allocate labour, capital and education for common good :)

Societies in general are quite adaptive, but with robotics/ML one issue is that the shift will potentially happen within one generation - it's harder to retrain/adjust adults.

No. We could take a snapshot of some artist's bank account, ask her not to make or receive any payments for a short periods of while. During that while, I run a loop that downloads or makes a few million copies of some song or movie or whatever. Then we peek at her account again and look, the number is exactly as before. And again we have peace of mind in knowing that merely shuffling bits and bytes around a hard drive or even across a network link has no bearing on what happens in someone else's bank account.

Twitch Engineering: An Introduction and Overview
TL; DR: buying a Macbook tricked me into going through a "dark" phase. It was worth all the money.

This isn't necessarily true all the time, although it is in many contexts. For example millions of people are eagerly awaiting the new, shiny, same-as-before-but-slightly-more-expensive-and-with-a-couple-new-features, iPhone 7 but the number of people who get excited when there's a breakthrough in a particular scientific or technological field can be counted on one hand (and multiplied by 10^[2-4]). The explanation is pretty simple: I can get the iPhone 7 when it comes out but it's hard to get excited knowing I might go to Mars in 2060.

I had a similar experience myself. As a human being I'm naturally inclined to, sometimes, consider short-term rewards more valuable than long-term rewards. They say the quickest way to change your lifestyle is to change the environment around you. In the case of software developers that environment is often their gear/tools. In my case it was my laptop. When I was still a student I was using the not-so-crappy-but-still-kind-of-crappy laptop provided by my university. The problem was not the laptop, of course, but the fact that I was doing something I didn't enjoy.

One day, frustrated by the fact that a few Chrome tabs and PyCharm would literally devour RAM and swap alike, I started considering buying a laptop of my own. Fast forward to a couple of months later, and on the edge of a serious depression, I bought a shiny Macbook Pro with 16 GB of RAM. I started getting more into web development (I was doing research in a very specific field of cybersecurity), studied machine learning (and used it for my thesis project), found a very good job (where EVERYBODY was using Apple hardware) and slowly transitioned to doing web development full time.

The Macbook acted as a trigger. I might have gotten the same results by moving to another country, changing house, changing friends, maybe by dropping college altogether, but that shallow, nonetheless very useful, purchase (I'd go as far as to call it an "investment") did the trick. I got my degree, I'm still working, and enjoying what I do, I even moved to another country eventually. Could I have experienced the same thing doing something else? Probably. But it's easy to say so afterwards. :)
As written above:

> ...nuclear plants? Solar systems?

More seriously, it's very important to consider that centralization of electricity production, even from coal or oil, allows a lot more pollution control than a hundred million vehicles each carrying a mini-combustion engine on the roads. Cars get lighter, and the factory can get efficient re-burners, soot filters, emit pollution outside cities, and benefit from future tech like CO2 burial. Heck, the country can even decide to shut down coal plants, go nuclear, hydroelectric or 100% renewable. Which is impossible if it's a matter of replacing 50 million cars.

So, yes, an electric car in a country that produces 100% of its energy from coal is still much more ecologic than a combustion engine. The keyword is: centralization of energy production.

Elon Musk is no fool. He beat 9 competitors with a total of $461bn market cap, because he got that before we did.
...and in case my prior is insufficiently clear, what I mean by it is that, if people had come after me the way they went after her, I'd get the hell out of the industry, too. That she did so is a grave loss to our field. That she had reason to do so is an indictment.

Besides, horses are great. Huge and kind of inherently a little bonkers and occasionally mean as dirt, but they're also powerful, beautiful creatures. I can imagine finding a lot of solace there.
A lot of the physical side effects are inherent to MAOIs - they have crazy interactions with all kinds of stuff present in most people's bodies. (Hence the psychedelic interactions with DMT that produce the "ayahuasca" effects, and hence the long and hard-to-follow list of things to avoid for 1 or more weeks pre-trip.)

There's a reason why MAO inhibitors are so rarely used in psychiatry. High efficacy, but the side effects are nasty to deal with.
Exactly, all these things are tools of the trade - tradesmen spend money on the right tools for the job because that (and experience) is what separates them from the DIY-ers
Most management (current company excepted) all management does is request new features and down prioritize the previous "urgent" feature requests.
Yes, it was absolutely horrible and to this day I don't consider using it because of how horrible it was back then.

From the other comments, I see that they actually stopped this horrible practice 2 years ago, and that this news is just out of date. But my thought is that I still wouldn't trust them with my DNS handling after making such a horrible move back then. It was such a major mistake that I have to worry they'll make other bone-headed decisions, too, and I just can't trust them with something that important.

What is Flat V8?

Yes, that one is quite hard to get right for normal chess engines too, and it usually isn't done.

E.g. if both sides have only a bishop left, then if the two bishops are on squares of the same color checkmate isn't possible, but if they are on different colors then checkmate is possible in a corner. Or pawn formations in the middle of the board that prevent breakthroughs.

Most online chess sites only consider the obvious case of king + bishop or knight vs king to be a draw under that rule (and king v king, obviously).
-- edit -- In case it's not clear I really, really agree with this article, I was having a rant about people I've worked with who make things needlessly complex, not the link, which is great advice!

Just use /dev/urandom

I can't believe how many crappy engineers I've encountered who are resistant to this advice. The onpy coherent objection I've ever heard is that "It never blocs therefore it can provide random numbers with insufficient entropy", which has been adequately refuted many times now.

But still I encounter experienced, senior guys doing all sorts of Heath-Robinson crap with reading tons of entropy from TPM chips, feeding it to openssl or other systems as a seed and using those instead. It's completely unnecessary adds complexity (which in turn decreases security) and just...

What's really frustrating is people being convinced that random numbers are hard and therefore that they really need to do all this 'hard' stuff. I guess it flatters their egos.
