Of course you have to understand HTML/CSS very well to do good. But it's not going to be efficient to start from that. Luckily Photoshop has a working javascript engine and it's relatively easy to completely automate HTML/CSS/sprites generation and iterate very quickly. Or even better, switch to Inkscape and generate everything from an SVG XML file. We are moving towards all SVGs websites anyway.
"Addiction" is a very tricky concept... Wikipedia defines it as "compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences". But what if the person engaging in the behavior doesn't mind the adverse consequences? What if the only adverse consequence is a slight decrease in life expectancy? How bad do the consequences have to be before a behavior becomes pathological? The line we draw here seems rooted in personal values, not an objective standard.

What if someone uses amphetamines daily and really doesn't want to give them up. Are they addicted? What if they later learn they have ADHD and they've just been self-medicating? What if they don't have ADHD but the drug just improves their life? What if their name happens to be Paul Erdős?

If someone suffers depression from opiate withdrawal, we call them an addict. If someone suffers depression from going through a breakup, it's just par for the course. And yet both scenarios are withdrawal from a pleasurable stimulus. Why is one acceptable and the other not?
Now it's out there, though. This can be the V1.0 of the story and although it won't be breaking news if written professionally, it can be a great investigative piece still!

Without getting into details, I completely disagree. Being apolitical is not supporting "default politics". I support LGBT rights and equality for all, but this is the sort of BS that is making me and many others switch political allegiances.
You might want to quote hiring velocity along with that statistic. Interesting that the companies with the lowest turnover are non-growth companies. Should I post the quote about statistics and lies, or does everyone know it?
What a fun system. I've added it to my notebook with the German 'hydraulic rock' (http://heindl-energy.com/) system. The latter doesn't need a hill.

What I like about the train system is that it should be cost effective and can be built without water. Cost effective because steel and concrete seem to be the bulk of the cost. The lack of water makes it more useful in places like the desert where water tends to evaporate over time and is hard to come by. It would interesting to understand the maintenance burden relative to the renewable energy source it is paired with.

Another, less talked about, issue is replacing peaker plants. Here is an article from 2015 on why that is a good idea (http://www.aiche.org/chenected/2015/04/battery-storage-takes...) using batteries. Even a "small" ARES system it would seem could address some of this need. The challenge being its hard to build something like that in an urban area.
95% of the article explains how addiction isn't just a disease of the brain. The conclusion is a non-sequitur claiming that people only have compassion for addicts because they view addiction as a "brain disease". Am I misunderstanding this?

For reference, he's the NPR article on the SG's report on addiction[0]. All the Surgeon General is trying to do it to shift addiction from an issue of personal blame that's widespread in the culture ("he's just an alcoholic!") and make people view it as a complex pathology that we need to address. The SG also proposes school programs to teach about substance misuse, and stress-management, as stress obviously contributes to addiction. What's unreasonable about any of this? The article in OP seems impossibly nitpicky.

> No, but it sure as hell keeps it at bay.

I would avoid this attitude. Assume there are areas where you can improve in this dimension. The fact that you're being defensive on this point here with us is not a good signal. It makes me think that maybe you are being defensive at work as well.

The correct response to this is, "I'll keep that in mind and look for ways to improve." There is zero room for making statements about how good you are on this point or any other, except through action. There is no way talking up your own qualities can help.

> Edit: From your perspective how can I solve it?

Personally, I'd go the direct conversation route. Schedule a one-on-one, say, "I've gotten the impression that our relationship doesn't have the professional trust I would like it to. I'd like to understand what I can do better." Take radical steps to demonstrate good faith. Never complain, never defend.

I was actually in this situation lately, but on the other side of the table. I had a person under my leadership who had been disgruntled and unsatisfied, and I had to go to them and basically say, I'm sorry I've been a bad lead, but I want to repair this. We had a long conversation where I basically took responsibility for every bad thing that had happened, and pledged to improve. Since then, there's been a night and day improvement in our professional relationship.

If it were a peer, I might suggest something different, because bullying in this case might be a way for the peer to assert extra-organizational power over you. But this individual already has organizational power over you -- what you perceive as bullying is probably not about obtaining more power.

Or it could be a rare case where the other individual has some sort of sociopathic tendencies. In which case there is probably not much you can do. But nine times out of ten this is not the situation.

Ways to Submit Confidential Tips to the NYT
And? Since E17, E has pretty much been a DE in its own right. Fueled in large part because Rasterman ran afoul Gnome and RH office politics during his stay at RH labs.

And E has a long history of supporting just about anything under the sun. You could even run its terminal "emulator" as an alternative tty on top of the Linux framebuffer if you so wanted.
All right. I'll be honest, I forgot what thread we were on, I was just in awe at all of the sites you run. My next thought was, "man, I wish I could use some guy like him, but he is just too expensive."

One thing is for sure: there are definitely, 100%, no-questions about it, over 1 people who can be reached and who, at least for a few months, would take over 15,000 pages and 154+ sites. (An early 20s hacker). For under $30,000.

That excludes nearly everybody: but not everybody. There is 1 person you can find who can do it.

However, that one person is not going to be over 50. Over 50 people "aren't stupid" and are not going to do that for you for $30,000 and no other compensation.

You can say under twenty people will be "stupid enough" that you can find someone to do it. But more accurately, they have different motivations. There's nothing stupid about working for $30,000 doing a job that's worth half a million, when your friends are earning $20,000 as barristas at starbucks. People's lives change over time. . . .

I used to think the CS-y whiteboard interview stuff was a complete waste of time. But now I look at it as a way to prove objectively you have a computer science skill/knowledge-set. Which is nice because it evens out the playing field because many who have the degree don't have the skills and many who don't could acquire them. So its like a bar exam.

There is still an issue though because computer science base knowledge generally lags behind industry-relevant practical knowledge. For example, algorithms and data structures generally accepted as core knowledge do not take enough advantage of today's relatively high RAM availability. And there is not enough emphasis on higher-level components.

You could argue that everyone has to know that old-fashioned basic stuff well and then layer on newer knowlege or perspectives, but I think some of what is considered computer-science core knowledge should be replaced with newer practical things like understanding components and modules and being able to use contemporary tools.

So maybe less emphasis on optimizing algorithms at the procedure level for starters. It might be more important for most engineers to be good with profiling tools and understand the order-of-magnitude differences between memory/CPU/network latency etc. than do be able to do a third-degree low-memory optimization of a function.

I was in a similar position once.

What I did was kept my head down, performed the work without any personal, emotional investment and started looking for a new job. It took several months but it worked out for the better for me. I was so happy when it was time to submit my two weeks notice. I took three hours to craft my notice email. If you're good at what you do and your skill set is in demand, this may work for you.

Good luck.
This is so true. There are coaching centres here in India, pulling in millions each year to prepare kids for the premier engineering institutes here. Hundreds of thousands of kids join these, but I am still to see even 10% of them working on interesting problems. Like another comment here notes, most of them are becoming a commodity.

> it's very clear that the world is tilting back towards power politics rather than multilateralism and cooperation.

We never had multilateralism and cooperation. It seemed that way to the US, in the narrow window between the fall of the Soviet Union and the rise of China and Putin. The world seems very cooperative when you're the only superpower standing. We're not seeing a fundamental change in the nature of global politics, just the diminishing power of the US.
True, it could be an advantage under $CIRCUMSTANCES, but there'd have to be some evidence other than "it hasn't been selected out of the gene pool" :).
The same people who pay for it now, the consumers.

Electricity grids have massive 'problems' with balancing themselves as demand varies throughout the day. Currently there are e.g. open cycle gas turbines on standby - they are paid a retainer in return for always being available, plus are price per MWh when they are generating. For the UK you can see them http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk, also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grid_Reserve_Service
That's because this analogy misses the point. We are in a thread about the difficulty explaining a problem I suppose.

Discriminating based on the type of traffic is arguably a good thing so long as it's done in good faith. Real time connections like VOIP and streaming ought to get higher priority.

It's the destination that really matters. Since UPS owns the roads and partners with Amazon, shipments from Jet.com are limited to 15mph while trucks carrying Amazon packages can go 60mph.

Or if you want something that's more like actual shipping a better example might be only UPS is allowed to deliver packages on the roads they own (like last mile ISPs), and because of their partnership with Amazon, only packages from them can have next-day shipping.

I never said that Lisp macros were anything like assembly macros. I was referring to a macro assembly language as a list of opcodes (function calls) and macros. I am quite a fan of Lisp macros which are much more flexible as you can create code at compile time from a Lisp program.

I also know that Lisp or assembler can do anything/everything. I don't like polish notation or the lack of structure in Lisp programs. Everything is a function (with only a couple of exceptions).
At least in my case most games crash, though it is likely due to using Bumblebee (Nvidia Optimus) and switching between Integrated Graphics and Dedicated Graphics.

The plus side is that I can log into using either Wayland or Xorg. So switching between the two is almost seamless.
To be fair to ANTLR I think it might have actually wanted a CharSequence, which is a bit more pragmatic, and I could probably have wrapped my byte[] in an object implementing that interface.

The real problem I should mentioned was that I seemed to be using very little of the real ANTLR parsing algorithm, as there was so much logic in actions to parse a real language like Ruby. These languages aren't designed with a formal grammar model in mind. They just do what they do and it's your problem if ANTLR isn't designed for what they want.

Actions are the grammar equivalent of unsafe blocks in languages like Rust or Haskell. If you are using them in an application it's a red flag, and I never managed to write an ANTLR grammar without them. That then makes the red flag on ANTLR, not on my programming skills.

However, people usually see any non-positive comment about a cultural minority as racist (e.g. "Black people eat a lot of chicken.").

I've heard a lot of references to the amount of fried chicken eaten by African-Americans, and their apparent taste for that particular dish. Not a single time have I heard it mentioned casually in passing as you describe. No, it's usually the punch line to a joke.

Given the demographics of the neighborhoods in which I see a Church's or a Popeye's, such a casual note-in-passing might (and I emphasize might) merit some discussion of the dietary tastes of various cultures. "Man, the Japanese are big on fish, huh?" "Well, sure, when you have relatively small amounts of farmland and you're surrounded by ocean, makes sense that they'd eat more fish than beef." "Oh. Duh. Makes sense." I've had that conversation, don't see a problem with it. The only discussions I've heard about the dietary tastes of African-Americans have been a lead-in to the derogatory remark the speaker wished to make. (Disclaimer: I grew up in an area where the water fountains still had the faint outlines of the letters spelling "whites only" and "colored" above them, having only recently been removed. Your conversations on the dietary tastes of racial groups might have varied.)

> I can hyperfocus and do great amounts of work or assimilate great quantities of information

As someone who has been medicated on and off, I can tell you that hyperfocus is not something that medication will switch off entirely.

It is merely that if you want to stop, you can, and you can train yourself not to hyperfocus on irrelevant things like video games, clicking through Reddit, writing blog articles that don't get posted, etc.

ADHD is all about being unable to properly tune your attention without taking what to other people would be considered heroic levels of effort.

I assume that when the hardware becomes available to run an open source GSM baseband, the software will follow shortly afterwards. (Or if qualcomm ever releases docs for their closed hardware).

The FCC will require signed builds on radio hardware shortly after that.

Best outcome is to have a vetted open source baseband project with reproducible builds so we can verify our signed binaries.

Who's to say they didn't?

Perhaps the VCs who reached out were reaching out so that their technical experts could learn about the product. If you can't find information about a startup anywhere, asking them is a great way to find out. Yet the implied attitude of the article and some comments here is that when VCs are missing a critical piece of information, they should just give up, rather than reaching out to gather that critical information. Am I missing something? Reaching out to a startup to gather more information sounds like typical VC hustle.

I think as people who know things about AI that other people don't, we need to be careful about using our knowledge to trick others and then feel smugly arrogant about their ignorance. My opinion, at least.

> But what if the person engaging in the behavior doesn't mind the adverse consequences?

Addiction is by definition not something that is indulged in voluntarily by carefully weighing the consequences. I recommend you familiarize yourself with the Jellinek Curve, which accurately describes the guilt and shame that results from addiction.

> What if the only adverse consequence is a slight decrease in life expectancy?

Addiction itself not only has much worse consequences than that, but you're omitting the fact that addiction is present for a reason. Addiction is self-medication of excessive pain, and that excessive pain has deep, significant adverse effects. There is a reason that addiction is often comorbid with family dysfunction; addiction is a response to pain, not just a cause of pain. "Curing" an addiction involves reducing this pain to remove the need for self-medication.

> The line we draw here seems rooted in personal values, not an objective standard. We need to recognize that subjectivity when we discuss addiction.

The line is very clear. If you compulsively use, in a way that harms you, to relieve inner pain, it's addiction. Treating addiction as a "subjective" thing just ignores the pain-dimension which drives people to addiction in the first place, to run away from their pain.

Society's focus should be on becoming more nurturing and cohesive, which'll hopefully result in fewer people being in so much pain that they'll destroy their lives and relationships just to feel remotely human.
Wayland (or more "correctly" the support plumbing that will surround it, but developed by the same team) will likely support all that, in time.
