Unless you live in a walkable city (the vast minority of cities) in the US (I realize this is a UK article), cycling to work is nearly impossible. I only live 10 miles from work, but the whole stretch is 0% cycling friendly.
Absolutely.

There's one sure way to control an epidemic like this: education. That means educating the populace on just how addictive and dangerous these drugs are, educating law enforcement to treat addicts as people who are sick instead of simply stigmatizing criminality, and educating the medical community so that these drugs aren't handed out so casually, and in cases where they are appropriate, that patients are closely monitored for signs of addiction.

And the latter would benefit greatly from the US restricting drug company advertising and lobbying (this crisis was helped along significantly because of Purdue's marketing of Oxy in the 90s) so that medical decisions are made based on science and not marketing... but we know what the odds are of that happening.

You wouldn't revoke its access on their end, you'd do it on GitHub's end: https://github.com/settings/applications

Otherwise, GH would still have the approval on file (there's no way for them to know you deauthorized on the GitMonkey side) so they'd instantly be able to get a token again.

[quoting myself from quite a while ago]

Once upon a time there were programmers.

Then there were systems programmers and application programmers. Systems programmers wrote operating systems and utilities for them. App programmers wrote apps. There was a lot of crossover.

Then there were operators, systems programmers and application programmers. Operator was a junior position who did physical things (mount tapes, plug in cables) and ran commands to do things on the systems. They usually moved up to being…

Systems administrators, who did some programming in service to the systems, but not too much. The more senior a sysadmin was, the more time they spent programming and the less time they spent doing physical things… unless they wanted to do that.

Sysadmins started to specialize. People who configured switches and routers and talked to telephone companies became “network engineers”. People who spent time working on firewalls and security policies and thinking about that became “security engineers”. Junior people who read scripts to end users became the helpdesk. And so forth.

Then we noticed that a bunch of people were doing things manually when they should be automated. This was especially bad in places where there were no senior sysadmins or systems programmers. But we did have the internet, and senior sysadmins got together and started writing tools to make their lives easier: infrastructure automation.

You probably know the story from there, but I’ll wrap up with one more important point: you know how when writing a business application you need to have a subject matter expert who actually knows what they are doing? Operations is exactly the same way. All the automation in the world won’t help you if you don’t have someone around who knows what they are doing. Some people can outsource this to “the cloud”, but not everyone.

There are a whole host of standards to support interoperability between v4-only->v6, v4/v6->v4, v6-only->v4 addressing. I know it doesn't answer your complaint, but really there is little "backwards compatible" to be done with 32 bits of address + 16 bits of port that doesn't look like another version of NAT, and we all know how much the tech community loves to hate on NAT.

The transition hasn't really been that bad, it's picking up pace precisely because there is increasingly valuable commercial logic in doing so (v4 addresses cost a fortune, as you noted!)

I've been surprised on a number of occasions recently to notice I've been communicating by v6 from public wifi, other peoples' homes, etc. Progress is slow but it is also sure.

In the UK, once BT flick the switch on their home offerings, there will be very few significant sources of v4 traffic left in the UK still awaiting transition

Lynch's Dune shares some names of people and places, and some basic concepts with the book. Very little else. There's a lot of change for change's sake in it and most of that is in illogical ways (some of which are pointed out in the article).

For example it may mean that they're not allowed to put you on the next United flight. It makes the situation even more complicated.

It doesn't shift the blame from United to Republic or vice versa of course.
" People wouldn't overdose if they knew exactly how strong the drugs they injected were"

Opiates are highly unpredictable. The exact same 'homogenized' batch can kill you at any time. One dose you can slam half a syringe, next dose a day or two later, you can do 1/4 that amount and die.
That's not a "tenuous interpretation of the law". That is the right interpretation of the law. Once you have been accepted as a passenger and boarded the plan and been seated, there's no legal reason for the airline to eject you without cause.

I suspect that for some people putting in an application to any highly selective process can produce an 'I cannot believe I am doing this' adrenaline high.

Similar 'high stakes' applications have for me. The risk of rejection is a real risk and the rewards of acceptance are Lego for daydreams. I'm not compulsive about it. If I think I might get something out of the application process, and sometimes I have, then I measure that against the effort required and the distraction involved. I also recognize that at times the process of applying to something for which rejection is pretty much certain provides an alternative to the hard work of executing on the thing I am promoting as a great idea...in other words, my level of interest in some project might only be at an abstract 'I will apply to YC' level and not the 'Damn the torpedoes, I am going to make it happen' that's really required.

Not sure if that helps or hurts.

Good luck.

I can't believe people keep bringing this up. THIS WAS NOT "AT THE GATE". The passenger had already boarded and been seated. The "volunteer at the gate" and "overbooking" situations do NOT apply anymore.
Depends, some who cant migrate will keep living on these, and maybe later switch. Maybe even helping those migrating to do so by ensuring future customers in a while.
A lot of projects my team did at my last company were of the "You've got 2 or 3 weeks to build this awesome thing for a launch event that will have a crushing wave of usage for about 3-7 days".

It was really fun work, because even the 'simple' stuff we built had to address some of the big traffic issues you'd normally have at a much larger scale and the work was usually very high concept or cutting edge. It would've been a nightmare to maintain for longer than a week though.

I think if someone is going to use something like SpaceVim, it would be best to start early and just learn that instead of vanilla vim. The initial cognitive load will be high for learning both anyways.

The other common cause of OD is relapse. 30 day drug programs are not very good at getting people to quit, but they are good at lowering tolerance enough to make their previous doses life-threatening. This is another reason medical supervision of addicts saves lives.

Did Stanley Kubrick have an "interest in SF"? I think as a director you should have an interest in making a good movie that is somehow coherent for the audience that watches it. Which is also the reason why computers are almost always absurd in movies. They're mysteries that need to be represented differently than just their correct technological side.
That's what drives me crazy about 'findings' like these that we're being presented with, every day.

For example when comparing mortality rates of drinkers and non-drinkers, the fact that a lot of non-drinkers are former alcoholics with significant health issues is often ignored.

Being a tmux+vim and acme user, I'd love to see some mouse integration when using tmux+vim:
- right click on a file pattern, say some/path/to/file:line:column to open in the current vim session
- middle click on some selection to execute in a new tmux pane

That would be a nice way to integrate with the surrounding environment without so many plugins, just simple programs that would run in a separate window.

Vim remote can help, neovim-remote might help even further.

If you`ve hit the wall in between multiple container infrastructure orchestration platforms I think the potential this provides is pretty big, and will have a lot to say for Enterprise adoption.

Separating out the shared commodity container stack points towards plug-and-play cross-vendor container stacks based on standardized APIs. Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Azure, AWS, VmWare, Kubernetes, etc etc: todays market is a divergent mess. Being able to mix-and-match configuration tools, clustering tools, and management interfaces will get us to best-of-breed solutions. It should enable plug-and-play components that today, amidst a dizzying array of incompatibility, generally force you onto wholesale stacks.

Props to Docker for investing in the shared eco-system and risking the brand confusion to push the industry towards the next step.

This doesn`t impact users of Docker or containerized app devs, people won`t be setting up a Moby stackexchange site any time soon. This is big news for the devs of container platforms though :)
I wish you get lots of users in your app.

And somewhere in several years it'll grow big.

And Microsoft or Apple will buy it.

And someone will need to move faster to release his to-do, which is much better, of course.
I'm not sure if Neovim directly provides this functionality, though Neovim can be run inside a tmux session, and tmux sessions can run inside the Neovim terminal.
I've found myself getting much better at making testing changes in such a way they can be hotswapped, then batching them up into a change when it's necessary to do a JVM restart. Sometimes I impress myself with how long I can go with just hotswaps, kind of like a code golf, but it's absolutely the biggest time suck of a Java developer's day. Besides meetings.
No, that's common too. Think childNodes traversal.

So you do need something in addition to the linked list to make sure that at least in-order childNodes traversals are O(N), not O(N^2), in common cases.

Memory use is a concern, but not the overriding one. A very large web page (e.g. the HTML spec) has maybe 500k nodes. An extra 4 words of memory per node, on 64-bit, then translates to ~16MB of RAM. If you look at actual memory consumption on that page, you will see that 16MB is not _that_ huge a deal, unfortunately.

The big problem with a doubly linked list is loss of memory locality and the resulting cache misses on traversal. That's something browsers are still working on figuring out, honestly; there is various work around trying to arena-allocate nodes and whatnot, but it has various drawbacks as well (e.g. arenas being kept alive by a single node, which you can fix by making your nodes relocatable in memory, but then you need to use handles instead of pointers, etc, etc).

Regarding your particular circumstances, is it because sequencing centers are slow to upgrade to the newest sequencing technology (probably because the investment in the last-generation is so large)?
Of course it was the first thing I thought of when I originally heard the name -- what else could it possibly mean? I assume they changed the name because somebody finally pointed out the first definition of docker on urbandictionary. But what was so dirty about my phrasing, other than saying the name of the project itself? (And it's only a myth that it's dirty, unless you never bathe.) Shouldn't any mention of that name be flagged, not just my message? Leave it to the prudes to shoot the messenger... ;)
One of the power plays in those turned base games was to take your turn just before midnight and then take another one right away when then day ticked over.

it really depends on what you are doing. A large data set shouldn't be limited to longitudinal analysis. If you're storing every log record or every stock bid/ask, there may be times that you need to understand the specifics of what exactly was going on. There may be a lot of filtering on the underlying corpus for these sorts of exact match queries, but data set sizes continue to grow.
Tmux is a great program, especially when trying to edit on a remote server. But I think it's worth pointing out that for most purposes, Tmux is basically just a Tiling Window Manager that only works on your terminals.

Tiling Window Managers are awesome, and I totally see why people who can't use one would choose to use Tmux, but if you have the option, I would totally recommend just going with the TWM and skipping Tmux.
>Some people for example would say the same things of motorcycles, yet there is no shortage of people who recognize and take the risk to ride out there.

This is not an equivalent analogy there are no health benefits from motorcycles, people do it purely for fun. If you are getting someone sort of thrill biking around heavy vehicles then, by all means, go for it .

I am talking about people choosing biking for their supposed health benefits.

> many cities have a plethora of bike paths that network through them and lanes set aside for bikes. That combined with high-visibility gear and recognizing those pain points to avoid or tread carefully mitigates a great amount of the risk you take.

I only have experience with chicago lanes. There are very few of them and almost none of them are actually protected from the traffic. For example, a car making a right turn has no option but to go into the bike lane, almost no one is trained to watch out for bikes and cars mirrors are not designed to accommodate bikers. There are many many issues like this.

But as you said it would be much safer if bikers knew what they were doing but biking on street requires no tests, anyone with a bike can get on the streets with 18 wheelers. Some of these people have never driven a car and are just guessing what needs to be done. They don't think general traffic rules apply to them, like zooming past stop signs , running red lights ect. I see this on a daily basis.

Why do we allow this to happen is beyond me.
I think most people know heroin is dangerous. They start taking it because they don't have an incentive not to. A lot of people in places hit worst by the opioid epidemic don't have much of a reason to get up in the morning, whether that be for lack of job opportunities, a weak social network, or some more general malaise. If there life is already disappointing, there's no reason to not take heroin. The worst that can happen is that there life becomes bad, but it already is.
Lynch's Dune is so weird – It's deeply, irredeemably flawed, from the perspective of someone who started with the rich world of the novels. But it's paradoxically beautiful and I can't help but enjoy it.

Babyboomers cut out of wills as wealth goes straight to grandchildren
all of those things are more like "space fantasy" than sci-fi.
Look, I'm a big fan of the original Dune series (not of the mess Frank Herbert's son did after his death in order to make money out of his father vision - those books actually ruined a bit of the originals for me, I actually suggest that you don't read those).

Anyway, first time I saw Lynch's Dune I didn't really liked it because it was too different from the books. But after some years (and reading the all series from Frank Herbert) I actually started to like the film.

See, for me, Lynch's film, was the best possible one. A lot of Dune is about thoughts, mental plans, counter plans. A mental chess game that goes on the mind of all the main characters and I don't think you can actually put all that on screen (at lest not without extending the film for several hours).

Sure you could have a grander vision of the books with better SciFi and a lot more money, but other than visually for an higher budget, I don't think any director can really do much better than Lynch.

Well, it's my take at least. I might be wrong (and would like to be proven wrong by a new Dune movie that exceeds my expectations) but until I see a movie that does better, I actually vouch for Lynch's Dune.
We're spying on you for your own protection, says NSA, FBI
Any and all of these don't make an SF. It's debatable whether Dune is SF or Fantasy. Star Wars, for example, is an action fantasy with an SF theme (more or less). I've found a definition of what makes an SF recently and this is it:

Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas which are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method, but are not facts of the author’s contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically “think” rather than “shoot” their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author’s imagination.

At its core, SF is putting characters into far psychological extremes and thought experiments.
> Faced with an excessively harsh criminal justice system and a legal industry that carelessly causes drug epidemics, I have come down somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.

But the middle is where we are now. Opioids are highly regulated. It is illegal to possess them without a doctor's prescription. The regulatory regime is so strict that some doctors are afraid to prescribe them at all [1]. And yet, here we are.

The free-market answer is to allow civil suits against drug manufacturers for damages caused by overdoses. That's not a perfect solution either, but it's a hell of a lot better than what we have now. At least it doesn't produce perverse incentives the way all other proposed solutions do.
