To go on a slight tangent but one I think very relevant here, considering other comments here about the overt politics of late night talk shows, such as another commenter's remark about not recalling previous late night hosts resorting to so many partisan jokes, it seems most people are neither aware of the former FCC's Fairness Doctrine nor its repeal:

>The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was — in the Commission's view — honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC, which was believed to have been under pressure from then President Ronald Reagan, eliminated the Doctrine in 1987. The FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine, in August of 2011.

Quote taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_Doctrine

There used to be a requirement for broadcasting companies to make a good faith effort to present all sides of a topic and to actually accomplish that goal to a reasonable degree. I am not sure of the historical origins of that policy, but I imagine it was put in place in recognition of the ability of media to sway public opinion and therefore to what degree it could be abused by powerful players with an agenda.

I am generally against any governmental regulation of how people communicate, but in this case the regulation was not about content, per se, but about the fairness and integrity of our national information delivery channels. I don't know why this was repealed - I keep meaning to research it - but in any case, the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine is a chief causal factor for the state of American media today.

As much as I appreciate Colbert now, as much as I watched and enjoyed the commentary by Stewart, Colbert, and others as political pundits, it is also very clear to me that part of their success in what they do is due to affirmation of political views they share with their viewers - and that that can be (and, in my opinion, has been) overall very detrimental because it has led people to silo their beliefs and become more close minded to hearing opposing viewpoints. Furthermore, the role of such pundits has become that of trading in-depth analysis for entertainment and laughs.

I generally agree with what seem to be Colbert's views and often think he is very sharp and insightful. However, in the context of what I said above and considering how much influence he has, I think that the complaints and investigation discussed in TFA are well-founded.

To make it slightly more ambiguous you could say "quarter till", but I suppose to know that you'd have to know basically know that the next hour is 5 in your example, although a scenario could exist where you know how much time till the next hour but not what the current time is.
Well, no, it doesn't have privilege isolation. But it does have isolation from a fault tolerance perspective which I admit is only a portion of the purpose of isolation.

But if you're deliberately running malicious code even cgroups/namespaces won't save you from some attacks. Timing and cache attacks can be done without breaking out of the jail.
Managers always seem quick-witted enough to come up with justifications for anything, sometimes even preemptively declaring they don't want to hear about subject X. So why would I point out obvious things? And why not ask the other devs? You have lot more of them. Plus a week is pretty early. You could ask them every month or every other month.
> but it's not at all unusual to install some packages manually

If you're taking about deployments, that's definitely unusual. Outside of deployments, what's a scenario where deterministic builds are important, but it would be considered normal to manually install them anyways?
I understand that's your view. I'm asking about its basis. Because what you're saying doesn't sound true, but the point matters (current context aside), so if you are right, I would like to know.

> it may be permitted to mitigate punishment for humans--but not for corporations

I always find it funny how people overblow the side effects from amphetamines and other performance enhancing drugs. Somehow these are "bad" because they are illegal. Just like how marajuana was "bad" but now its suddenly "okay" because it's legal.

I have ADD - and an adderall prescription helped me get through alot of the bullshit for my bachelors degree. I can concentrate on things that interest me, but universities make you take a ton of unrelated courses and I just lost interest almost instantly on work.

So for one year (my senior year) I had a prescription ranging from 15-30mg XR (30 was too high so I dropped down).

In retrospect, I was able to quit cold turkey with minimal sides after graduating - got my heart scanned out of curiosity and its fine, cholesterol is fine, etc. etc.

I think most drugs are safe if:

1. Used in the right doses for the right duration .

2. Only used on otherwise healthy individuals (this is an important one in the world of "everyone is equal") - I would not take adderall if I was obese since it is a stimulant and does increase BP / HR.
Macron is NOT socialist (he told it himself) (Well, to be fair, he also told that he was (cf youtube link for both)). He's pure and simple right-wing. He believe that we should let the market treat workers as they please. That's what we call "Being liberal" in Europe. Its the opposite of being socialists: the government should protect the workers from the institutions who wants to exploit them.

It's a shame that all those Warm Springs signs went up a month or so ago and will have to be replaced shortly. I think when the new train cars come the lines will be referred to by color rather than destination, which will fix that problem.
It's a good start, but as someone who live in Cupertino, my options are now:

- Drive to Sunnyvale (15min) and then take CalTrain to SF (45-75min)

- Drive to the Great Mall (30 min) and then take BART to SF (60 min)

Would be nice if they let them electrify CalTrail or bring Bart all the way south. I can keep hoping!
Thanks, that helped me understand better. That's really cool!
Pretty much every third party sound library for games implements 3D audio support (commercial ones probably for the last 10 years or more) but in order to use more than just the spatial sound source location/user facing vector requires inputting the material types/locations/sizes/audio properties for everything in the game world (to calculate audio propagation loss/occlusion) and using a certain percentage of cycles per frame to this - not everyone chooses to dedicate this much work to audio or has the extra CPU cycles to do this after graphics/physics. Also they have to be able to support simulating the head transfer function via speaker (many possible configurations) or headphone so that's doubled or tripled the amount of QA for audio sfx instead of relying on a VR headset for a standard setup for VR, in addition to possibly adding some sort of customization for each individuals head transfer function. If your games don't really use it, it's because the developer didn't have the time/money/CPU budget for it because it probably wasn't a key feature.

Not sure what is different about Google's offering in VR space versus tradtional game audio engines here.
And the highest rated TV show of all time (Super Bowl XLIX) only managed to attract 115/330 million people so what's your point. Are you arguing that somehow TV viewers are far more likely to be Democrat? Is there some reason that the same distribution of voters wouldn't apply to TV as well?

The final election results were
Clinton 65,844,610
Trump 62,979,636
If you call the difference significant (2.2%), then what does that make the gross value of 62 million americans that might be turned off by his rant?

Interesting . NZ has had a geothermal plant for decades that is situated in a volcanic area (and right next to tourist hotspots of Rotorua and Taupo). They force cold water down and use the steam to drive turbines. No idea on the efficiency but the fact its been operating for decades would suggest its good enough to be viable.
Agreed. I use incredibly obscure programming languages, devices, hobby spoken languages, games...in almost everything I do outside the norm, not because I'm trying to be different, but that's what I like. The parent comment is just saying the market (most people) have spoken and we're not it. Just like I doubt you're an avid Java fan on HN (you might be, but I doubt it). The market has spoken on that and Taylor Swift...etc.
The Uber operations folks communicated with the drivers to give them suggestions on how to evade the enforcers. If that is obstruction of justice (no lawyer on here has actually asserted this), then Uber ostensibly has conspired.

Personally, I only use hard-coded strings like that for shallow nesting. If I need to index 4 layers deep, something down there is going to be turned into an object, otherwise enumerating all the possible keys to ensure the code is correct becomes a nightmare. And once you do that, you can use dot notation anyway.
I did ERP (Fact ERP from New Zealand company Fact, later acquired by Geac and then Infor) implementation at VTech at the end of the 80's at their HQ in Taipo district in Hongkong. Later bought a Laser 128 from them to play with. Had always wanted an Apple II after learning to code BASIC on one at high-school in late 70s. Great memories reading this article.
I seem to recall reading an email regarding the policy of only using English words for Linux kernel variables etc. Something about avoiding having to deal with stuff that looked like street signs from ryleh.
Downvoter here. First of all, downvoting isn't combativeness. Secondly, if you want fewer drive-by downvotes, you might try making it worth a reader's time to respond--don't post obviously bad ideas (no one wants to explain the obvious); demonstrate that you're thoughtful, well-intentioned, and reasonable (only trolls want to debate an unreasonable person); etc.
But that's not the issue at hand. The watch needs to last a few hundred years or a couple thousand at most, not 5 million. At those timescales the problem is quite deterministic and perfectly solvable, especially when the mechanism is already keeping track of the date and lunar phase.

A mechanism that only works for 28 years shouldn't have been contemplated by a company that literally advertises their products as heirlooms.

All of my post is anecdotal, but it sucks that some people abuse the system just for drugs. With that disclaimer out of the way lets begin:

From what I gather it (Adult ADHD) is also very hard to distinguish from bipolar disorder. It took 18 months of moving around with anti-psychotics and other drugs to treat my "bipolar disorder" before my doctor realized that it was ADHD and we found almost immediate results from the treatment.

It sucks that the diagnosis seems to be so easy to get for some people and they're doing it for the adderall. In my case it helped me significantly, moving up in my career and ultimately bringing me out of an almost decade long depression with myself. I hope that people who actually need help get it, and to put it simply, screw the others who make it hard for people to be properly diagnosed. My diagnosis took so long because of the known abuse to get the drugs, from what I gathered in conversations with my doctor, and she was reluctant to consider that diagnosis until she was absolutely sure of it.
Not sure what you mean here. A competent admin that set a strong password wouldn't have helped with this.

That's a huge micro-optimization. For a trivial example of a class having the attributes "a", "b" and "c", and a dict of the same,

In [4]: %timeit d['b'] # dict
10000000 loops, best of 3: 42.7 ns per loop

In [6]: %timeit f.b # class using __slots__
The slowest run took 30.10 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
10000000 loops, best of 3: 44 ns per loop

In [9]: %timeit b.b # class using __dict__
10000000 loops, best of 3: 48.1 ns per loop

You're talking <6ns per access; except in the very exceptional case where you know you need this, in Python of all languages, it's an over optimization. The maintainability of having the stupid-simple class vastly outweighs the speed.

>> ...there's a reason why texting while driving is a problem now everyone has a touchscreen keyboard than back when we all had T9 and real buttons.

This. Texting while driving is still a risk any way you slice it, but my experience is that it's a manageable one, akin to eating a burger on the road.

I habitually text and drive. It's at least a 45 minute drive to the office on the best traffic-free days. To this day (knock on wood), I have neither been in a texting-induced collision nor can I recall being in any close calls as a consequence of texting. I've never owned a phone which didn't have a physical keypad either, thanks to the market offerings of Palm (if that's any indication of longevity) and BlackBerry. My current phone is a Priv. I feel the most dangerous part of texting on the road with it is the second I have to look down to press send on the touchscreen...it's always at the same position on the screen, but I have to move my right hand out of texting position to reliably touch it, which means I need to look.

Much of the time, ADHD is a medical term that simply means: "I don't like to pay attention to things that I find boring."
>What would any of you think when 500 people from a far away country were placed near your house? You would experience it as a some kind of problem.

What a pathetic attempt at a dog-whistle. If you want to start writing anti-immigrant comments just do it, don't doll it up in this bullshit pseudo pragmatism. Not like other people are letting it stop them.
Right, but this one is easy to push back on. If only men work, and most men need to support a family then the wages that all men are willing to accept is higher. Once families have two breadwinners, both men and women are willing to accept lower wages. The average household income is $55k but the average two income household makes $100k which I would hypothesize is the real growth area. The 'middle class factory worker' making $80-90k lifestyle now takes two people to realize.

Huh. Family with a history of ADHD. My father, me, son. Medication for my son makes an unbelievable difference. For me with a moderate therapeutic dose, huge difference as an adult. Took meds in school as well. Dad, ended up addicted to meth and alcohol and never did much with his life. They didn't know about ADHD when he was young.

The difference in knowing the enemy and practicing against it is a big deal. To get ADHD meds as an adult I had to spend a lot of time with a psychiatrist and I did machine based testing that is very difficult to fake. Some doctors don't care and just write scripts. It is increasingly risky for doctors to do so though, so most refer you to a psych first.

I will note, at the low to moderate therapeutic doses I use (often skipping several days) it is far from some sort of epidemic of abuse like what the author portrayed. And honestly, even if you don't have ADHD, so, what. It is safer than meth. Alcohol is way, way worse than therapeutic doses of amphetamines. (Therapeutic means relatively low and controlled dosing)

I think I would honestly rather see amphetamines a little overprescribed than have true ADHD sufferers go without treatment. Of all the drugs psychiatrist prescribe, amphetamines for ADHD sufferers have the largest observable therapeutic effect, bar none. We aren't talking just among ADHD. Of all mental illness amphetamines for ADHD sufferers produces a huge clinical effect unlike any other drugs like anti depressants. For those of us that it really helps it is not a game. This article read like scaremongering with no real talk of the actual impact of prescription amphetamine use and abuse. There is no real data to back it up. There is no doubt most people who think they ha e ADHD as an adult don't have it, but at the same time there is no evidence presented that 1.) It is causing harm at any scale and 2.) How overdiagnosed it actually is, but by god we need to do something about this amphetamines...

Kids addicted alcohol in college probably don't graduate. Kids scrounging a few addy probably just write the most interesting papers about neoclassical bullshit the history of humanity ever witnessed.

Edit: Just want to add that people with ADHD are hugely overrepresented within alcoholics and drug abusers. When we don't get the advice and help we need many self medicate. ADHD is a mental illness, just like depression, and other mental illnesses. With addictive personalities being common among ADHD suffered due to how our brains manage dopamine, it is no surprise. It is a huge waste of human potential.
