I've used luajit. It's unsupported software. If it works, great. If not, you're screwed. The original Lua may be ten times slower than luajit, but anyone can understand and debug it. That's worth something.

It's a shame luajit never created a community beyond its creator. FFI sure was nice.

Adapted cold shower as a potential treatment for depression (2008)
Sure, the concept of washing feet is a form of reverence in Indian culture. But it was ages ago. To generalize and imply that it is common today is just stereotyping.
Here's a press release from the company: http://asteriasbiotherapeutics.com/asterias-biotherapeutics-... They're doing a dosing study, with escalating number of cells injected. Results are promising, but the study includes no controls, so there is no way to know if the cell-based treatment is better than no treatment.

The current study is open-label (i.e. not blinded) single-arm (no controls). Once they establish the right dose, they will need to do a double-blind randomized controlled study to find out if it works.
Obama and Congress wrestled as to what is middle class when dealing with permenantizing the Bush tax cuts- introduced in 2002 and made permanent in 2011. ACA surcharges start at 200K for individuals and 250K for a couple. The highest income bracket at 400K. We are talking about the top 2%-3% here.

I had a great experience interfacing C++ code with Python using both SWIG and SIP. While latter seems to be a bit more powerful for binding C++ code (as it handles many of the intricacies of operator overloading, polymorphism, virtual functions and class inheritance with ease), SWIG does support other languages besides Python (also I think SIP is modeled after SWIG).

For calling C functions cffi or ctypes is usually easier and incurs less overhead, but for rich C++ interfaces there is just no alternative to using a binding generator, as the required code becomes large very fast.
cffi is awesome! You can even use it to wrap Python code in a dynamic library to use in existing C apps (to create plugins, for example). I gave a talk about how to use cffi and using it for embedding a few months ago. You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5dtiplkCIc
I wrote that article, just found out it was on the front page of HN today.

The machine linked in the article can not even run the unmodified interpreter (or at least it could not at the time) because its CPU does not support the CMOV instruction.

Regarding the bugs: I do think most of them are in the JIT and not the interpreter. Even using a lower optimization level that the default fixes a lot of them.
I'm not trying to be dense, but I still don't see it. Punctuation helps with identifying boundaries of clauses, whether they're dependent or not, whether a sentence is a question. Is this what NLP struggles with? I don't think so. One of the big unsolved problems is understanding the referents of pronouns (and other proforms, like "I will [do so] too"). Style guides and generally prescriptivism does not help that.

Another ambiguity is parse ambiguities like " I saw the girl with the telescope." What does "formal" English say about that?

I am optimistic that many people here retain such a broad definition of middle class- essentially the range between poverty level and one percenters. This shows that most Americans dont want to be indentified as impoverished nor wealthy, despite statistics otherwise. Ironically this flies in the face of media pronouncements the middle class died atbthe end of the 20th century and Trump movement is exploiting to the hilt.

C++ is really hard. I have learned enough about it to understand that there's a lot of idiomatic ways of achieving things that I do not understand, especially with the latest standards.

When someone claims to know C++, especially in a recruitment context, I tend to challenge that, since it's really hard to actually believe these days. Some people claim to know C++, but basically just write everything as if it was C.
Pile foundations are impractical for much of San Francisco founded on bay mud (bedrock hundreds of feet below surface). There're other practical solutions - including soil improvement, micropiles and/or raft foundation - that have been proved capable of supporting highrises.

On a different note, a settlement (even differential) in excess of one foot is expected for a significant fraction of building stock in SF in the event of a "design-level" earthquake.

The tower is reportedly 6" out of plumb. Over its 600ft height, that's 0.08%. For perspective, it is generally accepted that construction tolerances will result in a building 1/500, or 0.2%, out of plumb at the time of erection.

You are making wrong assumption that it's a choice and people just don't want to do "fun" stuff because they hate you or have some other negative personal feeling. It's not so. It's just that stuff is not "fun" for them anymore.

It's hard to understand if you didn't experience it, but something that is fun in one circumstance may be very hard in another.

Imagine eating a cup of ice cream and eating a ton of ice cream. If you already ate all ice cream you wanted, and then all you could, and feel completely bloated and full, and somebody comes to you and says "why don't you eat a little ice cream? I made it myself, it's delicious!" what would be your reaction? What if that person insists, saying "come on, ice cream is fun! Please eat! Do you really hate me that much? Am I that bad a cook? You know, dude, you're really rude!"

It's not depression - just as not wanting more ice cream doesn't mean person hates ice cream in general or is sick or didn't enjoy the ice cream they had before. It's just that they had enough and don't want it anymore. Maybe they'd want more tomorrow. But not right now.
Code review: Why are we doing it?
Yea, that's just one step down the path to a world where meaningless and unscientific personality tests (which is all of them) are used to dictate who is allowed to do what, all in the name of safety. I would much rather have the liberty rather than the illusion of safety.

Another way to look at it is that, to quote Heinlein, ignorance is it's own death penalty. In principle the people dumb enough to drive while texting will kill themselves faster than people who aren't so dumb. On the other hand the risk of collateral damage is pretty high, so it could be ineffective. Having the police issue citations for it is not very effective, but probably worth it. Not an easy problem to solve, and one that's only going to get worse.

I think that the only technical solution that might fix it would be truly self-driving cars, and you have to expect that to be pretty far off. Even if they were available right now it would take at least a decade to get good enough market penetration to really reduce the risk.

If one heads over to GitHub to check some recently closed issues and recent commits one will discover that there are people who can understand and debug LuaJIT issues.

LuaJIT is not magic, it's a software. Very neat and tightly written but it's still just a bunch of C/assembly/Lua code.

150 years ago this sounds like NewYork City or London.
I think people want to know why there's no longer an easier way. It seems people 50 years ago didn't have to dedicate their waking hours from 6 to 18 years old constructing an impressive enough resume to give them the luxury of then dumping a hundred thousand dollars on an employable education.

Software has an obscenely low bar for getting experience, you're right. Software comprises enough job vacancies to employ the country?

The simple fact is that the system is obviously broken, and it should be just as obvious that it wasn't broke by the people who weren't yet born when it fell apart.

I'll tell you, I'm a pretty hard worker. I work nowhere near as hard as the laborers down the street who go day in day out being told this incoherent narrative of "just work harder and it'll pay off!" There's no reason to believe that it will. Why wouldn't they just do bare minimum and go home and play video games?
It isn't that the conversation is boring - it is more similar to the sensation of not having slept for 36h and struggling to keep my eyelids open. If I was rested I'd find it easy to concentrate, and I'd probably actually find the conversation very interesting.

"We" should be replaced with Americans. This is just one more of those nutty things which are particular to America but which doesn't really generally happen in the rest of the west.

This is a much broader issue. America is simply developing a very dysfunctional way of dealing with children. America is the only developed country I know of (maybe only country period) where police is routinely used to deal with school discipline issues. Even parents in the US call police to discipline their kids for silly stuff like drinking alcohol. I am actually surprised by how normal this is in the US even among intelligent and seemingly normal families.

With the extensive killing of blacks it is clear that the US has a general police dysfunction. The police is seen as a solution to almost every issue in society.

America needs a serious re-evaluation of what role police and punishment should play in society. Police and the justice system can't become a substitute for parents and teachers.

If the economists in the article are to be believed, these aren't simply "people that don't want to work." They're people who ordinary have always worked, but are now being actively persuaded not to by this new force known as video games. So it's not analogous to alcoholics being alcoholics. It's better compared to the introduction of a wholly new drug into society, which has subsequently altered the behavior of a heretofore normal, hard-working, non-addicted segment.

Secondly, while it may seem appropriate to deride these people as useless and lazy ne'er-do-wells, that characterization isn't apt. It's not as if they're living lives of misery, unable to overcome some base desire to pull themselves out of it. Quite the contrary: they're happier than the rest of us. They're looking at the options that society has presented them with, and making a perfectly logical choice to spend their days engaged in meaningful, rewarding, social, challenging, and fulfilling activity -- in a fantasy world. Why would they go to work at dead end jobs if they have the option not to?
This bit is almost certainly made up somewhere in the information chain of this article.

I grew up in an Indian village, not so well off. So were most of my relatives in the neighboring villages. I never witnessed or heard of such a thing.

In some places (covering around 5-10% population of India) there is a tradition of washing the feet of your elders on some ceremonial occasions but that water is never consumed. It mostly goes to some sacred tree or as an offering to some local deity, meaning that it is thrown around the deity in symbolism.

What you are saying is true to a large extent. What is also true is that a significant percentage of westerners continuously look for the next big shocking thing out of India to "enrich" their experience of life. That is also quite exploitative of the unfortunate people who are the subject of all this drama. There is this thing called "poverty tourism" in Europe. One of my acquaintances in Western Europe didn't think that it was worth visiting India cause he has seen it all in China. At that point I had no idea of what to make of that.

> It's unsupported software. If it works, great. If not, you're screwed.

Not entirely sure how you got to that conclusion. Afaik there are no know bugs. All issues on https://github.com/LuaJIT/LuaJIT/issues are related to adding further optimizations or otherwise improve LuaJIT. In the last year bugs have been fixed almost instantly after they have been posted to the LuaJIT mailing list. So while I'm still a bit sad that Mike is on his way out, I wouldn't call LuaJIT unsupported. It's still a great choice.

As appealing as LuaJIT was and is, I could never bring myself to write much code for it. Even setting aside the possibility of Mike Pall giving up on the project (which turned out to be correct) the lack of a community around the language meant there would be difficulty getting questions answered and few third party LuaJIT packages. Bugs in particular were a major concern: if Mike Pall didn't find my bug report important, I'd be out of luck.

And as interesting as it is to have a small scripting language be able to run code so quickly, there are new languages that deliver the same benefits. Nothing really stands out about LuaJIT to make me feel it is a language I should use.

" Octopus sports two helicopter[2] pads on the top deck, a twin pad and hangars at the stern and a single pad on the bow; and a 63-foot (19 m) tender docked in the transom. There are a total of seven tenders aboard. The yacht also has a pool, located aft on one of its upper decks[citation needed], and two submarines (one of them operated by remote control for studying the bottom of the ocean).[citation needed] Side hatches at the water line form a dock for jet skis.

C++ is not one language... there are many styles, for example:

- 'C with objects'.

- 'Everything is a template'.

- 'Embedded C++' (its a real standard, google it).

- functional.

- 'modern'.

(thats not a complete list either).

Each one of those is technically the same language, but they're all using a different subset of features and are almost unrecognisable from the rest.
>They seem incapable of understanding any different culture at all. I find it more pitiful (betrays their intellect) than offensive though.

Yes, all of Hollywood(and those evil Americans in general) is composed of stupid racists that simply can't understand other cultures, how pitiful...

Perhaps you shouldn't take the portrayal of a culture in every context as intending to be a completely accurate depiction; It is not as if American culture when depicted portrays the US accurately.
I couldn't agree more. Force yourself to fake it. The conversation won't last forever and you'll leave a good impression which will be a) a social benefit for you in future meetings, and b) possibly helpful to the other person (imagine if they are thinking "oh man, people usually find me so boring but this person is really listening to me"...)

From a 2006 study [1]:
Using only data from FARS to assess child restraint system effectiveness in reducing risk for death in passenger vehicle crashes implicitly assumes that surviving children in fatal accidents have restraint practices that are similar to those of children in other serious crashes that do not result in fatalities. If child restraint systems are highly effective in reducing risk for death relative to seat belts, children in crashes who survived because they were restrained in a child restraint system rather than a seat belt will not be included in the FARS database unless someone else in the crash died. This will lead to a potential underrepresentation of child restraint system use among surviving children and a consequent underestimation of the effectiveness of child restraint systems in reducing risk for fatal injury if only FARS data are used.

In my case at least, I absolutely believe the ability to "get over" bad social experiences can turn someone into an introvert or extrovert over their lifetimes.

For example, no amount of conscious effort allows me to let go of bad social encounters, so instead I have a treasure chest of repressed memories over several years (my brain likes to pull one out at random late at night just to torture me sometimes).

Further social interaction always puts me at risk of accumulating more bad experiences that can't be let go, so as a result I have to work extra hard whenever I talk to strangers or acquaintances to overcome the anxiety and "perform well". Around close family where I can be myself, social interaction is not exhausting and I feel like an extrovert.

In other words, perhaps inability to "get over it" leads to social anxiety which leads to taxing social interactions which leads to introversion (...which leads to suffering).

Doesn't necessarily explain introversion for all people, though.
> It's a psychological motif, even if its not the economic reality.

Absolutely, although it does get a bit silly. At 220k income from salary alone, you're squarely in the top 3% household earners in one of the richest countries on the planet.

Hell, take the rental to price ratio ranging from around 6 (Detroit), to 45 (SF), more realistically 16 (Dallas) to New York (35), let's say the average is 25. That $64k annual household income alone would put you in a bracket where 65% of US households earn less than you, without even having to earn a salary.

I mean, can you imagine walking into a room of 10 people including yourself, and finding you have a magic necklace (two $800k homes generating rent) that earns you more monthly income than 7 of the other people who likely work quite hard, without barely having to do anything... and on top, if you walk into a room of 100, the income including your actual salaried work earns you more than about 98 of the other people... and still feel'middle' anything?

That does sound super silly, until one realizes your point: such people don't mingle deeply in the aforementioned groups of 10 or 100 economically uniformly distributed Americans. They mingle in groups of the top 5%, and feel quite 'middle' there.
