You're right. However, the article's list of adverse affects are pretty laughable. You also just pulled numbers out of thin air. There are lots of anecdotes in this thread, and doctors seem pretty ok prescribing an FDA approved medication - so, aside from "it's being overprescribed" what is the downside?

Either these drugs are somehow getting approved without monitoring provisions required, or 1% is much higher than the rate of negative side effects in reality.
The difference in the brain for Adderall v. Vyvanse comes down to the concentration of which enantiomoers are (how much of which mirror image of amphetamine there is). It's all amphetamine, it all affects the same receptors. The real difference comes down to how long it stays available. Vyvanse sticks around in the blood longer than "plain" amphetamine, but amphetamine crosses into the brain much faster. Both of those are because the liver has to first cleave off the extra molecule tacked onto the amphetamine that makes it Vyvanse. That can only happen so fast, and until it does it's too big to cross the blood/brain barrier or get otherwise disposed of.

The problem with the "copy these files" approach, even more than dealing with FTP, is that the upgrade process winds up being "copy these files, but be careful not to overwrite any changes you made". Applications like WordPress or Piwik come with a self-updater, but then you wind up with having to fiddle with the permissions to let the application overwrite itself.

I got fed up with this a few years ago and started building http://bitmash.io (yes, shameless plug) which does some fancy filesystem manipulation to swap out the application's files during upgrades while otherwise looking like a perfectly ordinary PHP hosting provider. While I'm proud of this solution it still seems rather silly to have to jump through these sorts of hoops to handle deploys.
Didn't those use to just be called "the rules"? I think a lot of people's resistance to a CoC is that it's a Dog whistle for a lot of the issues discussed in this post.

Edit: Instead of down voting me, rebuttal the idea. CoC are on their face not bad, but in my experienced are pushed by people with other agendas.
> Also possible that we will see the rise of a data broker, w

That people aren't aware that the digitization this is and has been a very lucrative profession for at least 20 years is testament to how, shalll we say, shadowy they are :)

Besides the moral implications, being a data broker sounds like a cool, cyberpunk-esque gig.
Ok, we'll cut the title's z supply.
I'm sure some people abuse prescription amphetamines to their detriment, but is damages the credibility of the definition of "abuse" to include all the people who game the system for the sake of performance enhancement.
>symptoms you listed seem pretty benign, and affect almost everyone in the human race.

The difference is that for those with ADHD those symptoms are not benign and have a major negative impact on their life. Saying that it's not real or important because everyone feels that way sometimes is like saying there's no such thing as severe allergies because everyone sneezes sometimes.
Exactly. People can be unbelievably obtuse when it comes to remarks the opposition makes while simultaneously showing remarkable skill in finding exculpatory facts for their own side. The media is especially guilty of sensationalizing what would otherwise be mundane statements into controversy. An example of this would be taking the phrase "you people" out of context and turning into a racial/etc issue when the intent was never there to begin with.
Your view on self-driving car is different than mine. I am not sure who came up with the five levels of self-driving car automation, but let me reiterate the last time before I give up trying to convince anyone on this thread.

First, for a computer to be able to navigate safely on the road the computer needs to be able to recongize and understand its surroundings. Checked.

Next, for computers to be able to be good at driving, we need to train the computer both in the real world and in simulations.

Moreover, to ensure we can optimize route, plan ahead we need data about road condition far ahead of us (and sometimes behind us). To be able to make turns on an intersection safely and swiftly, unlike humans who are terrible at making turns and confusing when to turn, computers can coordinate with one another. This requires good network communication. Bluetooth is weak and unstable. In my earlier example, if an ambulance says it is driving heading my direction, my car can coordinate how to empty up a lane for the ambluance to pass. This level of automation is what one sees in a sci-fi movie, which is really what you want besides being able to avoid obstacles like Bat mobile.

My point is, we should explore how to make traffic data accessible. There is so much one can do with such data. It takes a good amount of time to get the government onboard and help them build such infrastructure. To finish off my point, meter data is not available, right now apps use crowd source to determine whether a parking spot is available or not. Instead of driving around which causes
more congestion and sometimes accident, governement should make meter data available, and we can still crowd source by using driver's camera to recongize whether a spot is opened and send back to datastore.

This is essentially the goal of Internet of Things, at rhe city scale. As I mentioned, IBM's SmartCities supposed to do stuff above but I really am not sure if IBM will ever pull off given many of their projects ended up on someoen's desk covering in dust.

Well the third party sellers provide Amazon a lot of value.
They are able to have much larger inventories with much lower risk for one.
And I think maybe a bigger value is the data Amazon is collecting about these third party sellers products and businesses.

Amazon has launched many brands that they own. (Private Label) and I can guarantee they are making the decisions on these new products from data they gather from third party sellers. You likely already know about the Amazon Basics brand, but it is not the only brand that is owned by Amazon.

I don't know if they will ever remove third party sellers. Just due to the inventory benefits they get from them. And also due to competition from Alibaba (like the Aliexpress site). I think Bezos is more worried about Alibaba than Walmart at this point. Aliexpress is all third party sellers (I believe).

I really think they have a good thing going in terms of allowing for new products to be sold on a large marketplace. It's really great for entrepreneurs and startups with physical products. But, the issue of knock offs is something that needs to be addressed. Many of the knockoffs are so good (or from the same factory) you can't tell the difference. I guess if enough people cancel their memberships because of this and stop using the site maybe they will do something. But, I think for now the benefits for them are outweighing the problems.

Personally I don't buy name brand stuff on Amazon that is from third party sellers. If you look carefully you can tell if it is sold by Amazon or just being fulfilled by them (unless the third party is the brand owner). So far I haven't had any issues with items that are sold directly from Amazon. Sometimes you have to pay more for the item sold by Amazon vs a third party.

Some what unrelated. My biggest rant about Amazon right now is they are doing their own deliveries and they are always late for me. I even had one package lost. I've been shopping on Amazon for a decade I think and never had anything lost before. If I see the tracking number as an Amazon one I'm thinking well who knows if I'll get it.
>Folks can learn almost anything using the resources of the internet.

This is correct, but it isn't true. I can't tell you how many people I know stuck in the tarpit of "learning to code via the internet", who are being bombarded with flash-in-the-pan.js tutorials and coding tutor websites that don't really lead anywhere.

I think we as software developers look back on learning to code, and only remember the epiphanies, forgetting how infrequent those epiphanies actually were, and what a different climate things were even 10 years ago.
I'm skeptical that good intentions can be legislated. TV today is partisian because entertainment makes more money than journalism.

I'm sure Fox as well as NBC can find a way to satisfy "balance" without sacrificing on their core principal of make money. Fairness is too squishy.

Basically, I don't think there is any top down shortcut we can use to fix our culture. The networks are just giving the people what they want. Change will need to be bottom up. If we create a populace that values journalism and discourse, fair reporting will recover.
> Look at one process I'm sure most of us are familiar with: getting a cute girl's (or guy's) phone number

People still get phone numbers? I just get LINE user names (which you exchange by scanning a QR code). I'm sure in other countries it's WhatsApp or Facebook accounts...
Humidity is a factor also. In drier conditions, nostril hair and mucus are less effective filters.
Faced VB6 professionally, there are viable alternatives, but end users don't buy your software because of what technology you made it with, or originally made it with. They buy it if it works and does what they need. It comes down to viable transitions and the resources needed to make it happen.

Indeed from the last 6 years, companies are more willing to try out new technologies, like node, or even docker! But only places that can truly develop decoupled from the technology already used can jump on board for these things. The transition cost for adding other technology when decoupled is magnitudes lower than migrating an existing functioning production proven product.

I have my own opinion on NodeJS, but I give it credit for the tooling it has outside of production server uses.
The labels on over-the-counter, "adult low dose" aspirin recommend taking up to 48 81mg aspirin tablets (3.9g) per 24 hour period before checking with a doctor to see if that is okay. I was taking up to 1g per day at one point (for pain), thinking that it was a very low dose because of the labels. :/

> Do I basically have your position correct here?

No, obviously not, how would the exact same thing but of a different US political position make it okay? Did you not see my above comment?

I admit I may be expecting too much from expecting basic comprehension from the type of audience who likes to engage in this 24hr news network partisan stuff... all I'm trying to get across to you guys is that this isn't the place for it. You may find /r/politics and /r/worldnews much more welcoming, or the comment sections on the websites of major US news networks (CNN, Fox news, MSNBC, etc).

But as I said I will continue to downvote/flag it here.
Did you report the issue upstream with a patch? The solution to "the standard library is broken" is to fix the standard library, no? It's all free software after all.

There's a big difference. MSFT may take outside opinion into consideration, but they can (in general) kind of just do as they wish.

Isn't it a minor miracle that the JCP gets anything released ever? That the likes of Oracle, IBM, and a number of other mega corps that actively compete against each other in various ways can steer a committee into any agreement whatsoever is more amazing to me than the language itself.
Your comments are being flagged because you overdid the promotion in this thread. Linking to your own stuff is just fine if you do it once, maybe twice if it's especially relevant. More than that and it stops being meaningful conversation and users get awkward spam feelings.

Excellent sitrep
I learned programming through Scratch as a young kid. I was frustrated with the limitations of the syntax, and the lack of structured programming (although I didn't know what I was looking for). However, I loved it and came back to it every single night for the community - uploading new games I made, getting comments and loves from my friends, and not only checking out their games but downloading them and reading the source.

edit, as I keep thinking about this: Remixes were also huge - not only could you download someone's project, you could tweak it and reupload it as a remix. There were also galleries with curators, which motivated me to make better projects.
I think the language's limitations might have encouraged me to think outside the box, actually... simple things were easy, but any complex logic was very difficult. No functions, only event-driven broadcasts and receivers, and the events had to be pre-declared (no dynamic stuff). I remember doing a lot of hacky stuff with lists, like having look-up tables in lists, or having to implement really simple algorithms on my own in this constrained language...
It turns out people with children aren't very open to having their kids exposed to adult material on television. This is not a new thing, either - it's been that way since day 1.

Unlike mobile providers, broadcast companies didn't pay for the spectrum they use. It's a public resource that is licensed to them, and part of that license involves restrictions on language and also depictions of gore and sex.
CyanogenMod/Lineage Android roms have a nice feature called privacy guard. I always use it on all social media apps because I know they pull my contacts and upload them.

The feature basically just gives back empty results when the app tries to access, I wish it just fed it back garbage made up accounts.
No matter the climate change is due to human or nature. The fact is the temperature is getting higher and it is the problem.
Can you please provide links to one specific instance of this?

(I will mention that shifting unsafe to libstd is a good thing, this way you have more eyeballs on it and it's reusable, with less chance of people messing it up elsewhere. This is why a large fraction of what's in libstd is unsafe stuff so that people don't end up implementing their own.)
I'd disagree and say "you people" is a pretty blatant one. It communicates pretty clearly an intent to paint with a really really wide brush.

Personally I disagree that it would discredit it. These people are, in effect, taking advantage of a system to use medication for personal gain and not towards treating an actual mental illness. I would think that is abuse. They're causing an already broken system to be further legislated and controlled for people who need it.

I agree that it may be the wrong word to use but since it personally affected me my opinion will be skewed.
Not from scratch! We use lots and lots of open source (<3 ROS), in addition to secret sauce we've developed over the past year.
I understand. I have another motivation which is getting JSON and wanting a OOP object to mainpluate with. Take AWS' boto3 response. Well documented but the nested response structure gives me a chill and I wish there's a direct object out of the JSON. I instead had to write my own class for the conversion. If I could mainpluate dict like mainpluatig attribute in a class then I could just write my function's contract "input is a response object from X APi" instead of "dict of this form."

Quite annoying and I know some people considered what I wish is a bad practice.

Isn't your reaction to his complaint that switching to unisex restrooms is a deliberate political signal, and not about welcoming to trans folk part of what this post is talking about? If we can't discuss how others feel about this, if the motivation for the switch to unisex bathrooms is an overt political signal or a genuine one to marginalized groups, are we really behaving civil? Specifically because bathrooms are something that's banged into most peoples heads as gendered thing and the opposite sex in them might make them uncomfortable, for no overtly sexist, homophobic, transphobic, &c reason; it's something they've been taught very strongly, and transitions do take time.

Remember, the complaint is not that unisex bathrooms are bad, but that they're being used as a political signal to tell people who aren't comfortable with them that they aren't welcome, regardless of the reason for the uncomfort.
I'll just add as a reference that for the french presidential election most campaigns are costing around 5 millions euros ( it's a side effect of a system which fixes this as a max limit for campaign costs refunds, but I guess they can't spend way more)

First off any medical advice from Huffpost is bullshit. Second the author here and the doc cited are pompous idiots. ADHD is real in children and adults and evidence of it can be seen with brain imaging (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/02/170216105919.h...). Maybe they should conduct their work with some hard science/evidence instead of a checklist based on opinion? Ooooh.... and cry me a river, some big pharma company paid for a vacation for you and then took something you said and bent it to sell some drugs. Wake up! They sell drugs and so do you doc! I have ADHD and meds are the difference between total personal ruin and successfully running a company for me... and many other people. Every one of these clickbait bullshit articles that descend into moral arguments about ADHD do real harm to actual people with a quantifiable disability. Rule 1 of being kind that you teach a child is not to pick on people for things they can't change. I can't change that I have ADHD, other people with it cannot change that. We live in a world made by people with what the book "Delivered from Distraction" called "Attention Surplus Disorder." Supposedly the people who aren't sick are the ones who can sit still at a desk and then a cubicle their whole life doing what they are told. If that's being well I'm so glad I'm "sick."

That's an interesting idea. I've been on calorie restricting diets non-stop for over a year with good results. My latest experiment is a kind of limited alternate day caloric restriction. I was having great results with full ADF (toggling food intake at 4pm each day), but I started to feel strange after a week or two, so the new diet is a little less extreme. I might try something like your schedule, if the current plan doesn't produce results.

If anyone is experimenting with calorie restriction or intermittent fasting near Berkeley, send me a message via my profile. I'm working on some self-tracking experiments with a group of people.

Hey, I'm a vet who went back first to a coding bootcamp and then to a CC before 'real' university. The hardest part for me (especially because I feel like I'm a pretty ok programmer) was being willing to do the very basic Freshman/Sophomore material. Also, humanities. I really wish there was an option to just take Math and CS. I imagine this is what was originally imagined with Associates degrees.

I was extremely lucky because I already enjoyed math and coding on my own. How much Trig do you remember? I'm not trying to be a smart ass, but for a vet who has a lot of real world experience - going back to high school math can be a real challenge in unexpected ways.
