Well, if you read the results what it basically says is that if you started regular use from adolescence there was a clear IQ decline correlated in proportion with "waves" of diagnoses (iow, they measured a number of times several years apart, and IQ loss correlated with how many times they were diagnosed as cannabis-dependent at measurement so presumably length of time using). If you started as an adult, there was no clear correlation, although looks like at least a small trend towards decline was always observed.

As far as reversal, looks like it stuck pretty hard if you started regular use during adolescence. If you started afterwards, then you bounced back as long as you weren't still using frequently.

If your friends are adults it's probably either damage done already or nothing irreversible, at least to the extent this study is accurate.

One thing that would be interesting would be a breakdown around different standard deviations. We know that drug use is higher in more intelligent people[1,2], and that probably does represent our audience here given subject matter. I'd be curious to know whether the effects are more or less marked once you're a couple of standard deviations out from the norm, given that the population measured seems to be near median-100 (i.e. either a broad cross-section or skewed towards average).

I think you can make up for the lack of a teacher to a certain extent by choosing slower-paced and more verbose source materials. For instance, Hammack's Book of Proof, and the Khan Academy curriculum (both mentioned elsethread) -- as opposed to, say, the dense exposition of Spivak's Calculus. The Spivak problems are incredibly well-composed, but will often stump the student. Not so the straightforward problems of Hammack and Khan.

I definitely agree that human interaction is needed, though (as noted in my other response) -- but it could be either a teacher or other students.

So I am talking about the potential (meaning various capabilities IQ, Social behaviour, Emotional stability (withing the bound of normalcy) etc. I mean, things that are not usually recognized as problems..).

How can you compare the potential of a version of you who never had vaccines with a version of you who had a given set of vaccines. This is particularly relevant with vaccines because you don't have a version of you before having vaccines, since these are usually administrated at a very young age..

There is no clear cut killer feature for Ruby over Python in that context, and viceversa. Both are fairly good compared to the alternatives. The only true killer feature of Ruby is Rails, much better than Django and Web2py I had to work with in the last year, but that's out of the scope of your question. If your team knows Python you're likely to stay there.

I find Ruby to be much easier to read and understand than Python but I have 10 years of customers paying me to write Ruby vs one in Python. I assure you that it would be the other way around if I had worked in Python for 10 years.

I never picked Python for my own projects in all those years because I find many of its design choices weird and painful (I joke saying it's Ruby for the masochist), but that is very subjective. People liking Python consider good even what I find to be objective weaknesses of Python (example: only one line lambdas.) This means that probably both languages are good enough.

Aside from the obvious: code something that solves a real problem, you need someone to go out and sell it. Make him/her a partner/founder. That formula worked for me.
A maybe<T> in a language with halfway decent support for sum types is most likely a tagged pointer to a T, if it is reified at all.

A clever compiler is likely to do the same thing for a pair of (bool, T): represent the bool as a tag in the pointer, store the T. If the value is reified at all.

What new run-time failure modes do you get with optional? Is it just what happens when you blithely ignore the "nothing" possibility and attempt to extract the contained value "on faith" ?
Awesome is right. Would you link your patreon here, please?
> Working within this approach, it's important to break work into digestible PRs (to make it easier to review quickly) and to pipeline other tasks.

Ok, so here's the trade-off. You can do all these things, if you're willing to pipeline your tasks, and pay the context switching costs. It's much simpler to not pipeline when possible, and not context switch.

I do have plenty of things to do, I just prefer to finish one, when possible, before I start another. I don't like keeping track of several different pending patches, and I really don't like having to do the tedious merging that happens when multiple things are in flight around the same places at the same time.

By all means, run your team with 100% reviews; but please accept that not reviewing everything is a valid option for other teams. Just like some people will run screaming from an interview when they hear there are no code reviews, some will run screaming when they hear everything is reviewed.
Yes! I'd love to find out what the cost of manufacturing is. I'm sure the margins on $500+ mattresses is pretty high.

That said, a family member did give me a mattress a while back and wow, is it ever nice. They had spent close to $3000 on it. It was king size (which allow is great when you have a partner), but it was also foam over coil springs. Super comfortable. Before I would have said there was no difference in mattress quality when you get much over $500, but I take that back. Now whether the added quality is worth it, I'm not sure. No matter how comfortable this mattress is, there is no way I would spend $3000 on it.
First the spy/action movies are epitomized by the Bond series, and Kingsman has little to do with Bond. Sure it has gadgets, a megalomaniacal villain with a world destroying plan, and British agents. But Bond isn't a street urchin, never has a family, let alone family problems, never goes thru a recruitment or training process, rarely ever works on a team, and is entirely a governmental employee.

And it's even farther away from Mission Impossible, and the Bourne Identity series. So it can only be a parody of Bond, and not only is it far from Bond, it's not even funny. How can you parody something without being funny? It really smells like they had an idea that was more serious, then realized they couldn't make it work midway through, and pivoted to a not very funny parody.
It's always going to end up in a lawsuit. To a company that's running an actively user-hostile web presence, no amount of non-lawsuit complaints will get them to change, which means it's going to end up in court no matter what.

This is how the infamous McDonald's coffee lawsuit got started, for example; the plaintiff (who, for those unfamiliar with the story, had suffered second and third degree burns from the spilled coffee -- not exactly a case of "duh, it's hot" and more a case of "demonstrably not fit for human consumption") originally just wrote to them to complain. And they were, predictably, assholes to her, which led to research into how many people had suffered severe burns, which in turn led to the lawsuit.

So either you want to make a change that won't change anything (require some number of "notices" or non-lawsuit "complaints" before going to court), or you want to make a change that will literally undo the ADA (disallow going to court, period). Since neither of those is viable, the right of everyone to have equal access to businesses which are open to the public -- and to have that enforced by courts -- is going to outweigh your fevered nightmares of a lawsuit apocalypse.
Lowest hanging fruit would suggest James Bond? The insane gadgetry, the dedication to Britishness, the utterly bonkers plot of the villain and "getting the girl" at the end were all mainstays of that type of film. Albeit turned up to 11 and taken in, as mentioned above, farcical directions.
How, exactly, would it hurt? Perhaps by... discouraging use from companies that want to keep their changes private? I am completely fine with that. Proprietary code should not be allowed anywhere near the kernel or hardware support. Would it hurt in any other way?

As a concluding remark, I'll just repost what I posted elsewhere in this thread:

>Consider what happens if you're wrong. What happens if the GPL actually is the reason why Linux has such wide open-source hardware support? Then say goodbye to hacking on Fuschia on your own hardware...

>I'm not willing to take that risk.

Those are not breaking changes. Existing byte code will continue to work.

My understanding of generic type erasure is that it is more of a language issue than a VM issue. Nothing in the VM prevents reified generics, but when generics were introduced in Java 5 they decided to use type erasure in order to avoid having to produce a whole new collections standard library or break compatibility with existing code.
> If exceptions are so great, why Rust and Swift aren't using them?

Technically speaking, Rust does have exceptions with its unwinding feature. The panic! macro throws an exception, and catch_panic allows you to catch it. It is implemented exactly the same way as C++ exceptions, with the accompanying code bloat and performance pessimization, and you have to think about exception safety exactly the same way when writing unsafe code.
> (If you've never read it, i suggest you go read the various threads where linus, etc explain that in practice, the only approach that works is carrot, not stick) [...]

> If you (or others here) dream is of an ecosystem where everyone is forced, under pain of death, to follow the GPL, it's pretty unrealistic. It's not what happens now, it will never happen.

And in response, see Bradley Kuhn's talk at LibrePlanet this year: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/understanding-... or the LWN writeup at https://lwn.net/Articles/719610/

Kuhn's argument is that the actual world has involved the stick and not (just) the carrot: GPL enforcement lawsuits have actually existed, and we can't really distinguish people who claim to believe in the carrot from people who would totally have ignored the GPL if it weren't for the realistic threat of lawsuits.

We do live in a world where people are forced under pain of copyright infringement lawsuits to follow the GPL. It is literally what happens now. As you yourself pointed out upthread, Google is quite conscientious about following the GPL, to the point of rewriting proprietary drivers. Even Debian doesn't do that (Nvidia, Broadcom, etc. drivers are available in non-free). Do you think that's because Google thinks the GPL is a great idea? No! Google knows that losing their license to use the Linux kernel is a real possibility under GPLv2 section 4, and would in fact be death for the company.
Your forgetting an important one. The default is a bsd-3 like license. Google prefers to release everything under that single license unless there are strongly compelling reasons to do otherwise, and "it can't hurt", even if it we're true, is not strongly compelling.
VC funds typically require that the general partners put in 1% of the value of the fund. This isn't too dissimilar.

I did a ton of research on mattresses when getting a new bed two years ago. Casper was my first choice since I heard so much about it from my startup friends. I wanted one that was biodegradable with no off-gassing. I took a deep dive into Casper's safety claims and it opened up a whole can of worms.

I've never seen an industry with so much greenwashing. The organizations that certify the mattresses as being safe are comprised of the suppliers themselves. They are basically chemical companies pushing cheap non-biodegradable foam with crazy markups under exotic brand names. Casper just sells this cheap foam with questionable safety standards like everyone else. The only standard I found not to be shady was GOTS [1].

I ended up making my own mattress from slabs of organic latex. It was cheaper and more comfortable than the Casper anyway. Now when I have guests over I can easily remove a layer and have another temporary mattress. They ship compressed and rolled up in boxes which were way smaller than the Casper one. (Btw, the box advertised in Casper ads and in their showroom is nowhere near the size of the actual delivered box. It's massive). If you don't want to make your own, here's a good one: https://sleeponlatex.com/products/natural-latex-mattress.

If it is on non-work time, without using any company resources, then they will have a hell of a time proving that they own it.

Microsoft, surprisingly, seems to have a rather friendly written moon-lighting policy, excluding situations where you sit on the board of directors of a for-profit company. The main stipulation is to avoid competing with Microsoft, having a conflict of interest, or using any confidential/proprietary/secret information (including what the employee in question and their colleagues are working on).

Google's policy is very open source friendly but they want to own it (e.g. you add Google copyright notices) rather than spend lawyer time determining whether or not it is safe for Google to disclaim ownership.
I wasn't aware of that option. I'll look into it.
If your adversary finds the password on the post-it on your display, you are also screwed, none of this has any bearing on the OP's question.

That said, I'm sure a project like Decaffeinate has brought a lot of beloved Coffeescript projects into the hands of ES6 developers who wanted to contribute.

Is Reddit a Startup?
We actually tried the "Reddit for products" model about a year before PH and failed. They did a much better job cultivating a community and their site looked much better, so I'm not surprised they had better success than us. We also allowed anyone to submit.

Anyway long story short, about 90% of what was submitted was objectively terrible, to the point that it made the entire site feel dumpy. Much more so than your standard terrible content because it had the added negative of trying to sell something. I don't know if PH started that way or not, but if we had continued it was clear that a high level of curation was needed.

It's far closer to Austin Powers. You can't parody suave James Bond with a no class street thug who spends most of the film in training, which Bond has never done on film. Or moping about his mom, Bond doesn't even have have a mom. Bond works for the British government, and he works alone.

I do infrastructure engineering for a small startup and really I think with any of these managed systems you need to step back and evaluate them within the context of TCO, lock-in, security, reliability, performance and flexibility/customizability. I've heard ES isn't that much of a PITA to manage on its own, but on the flip-side I'd never sign up a small team to run PgSQL at scale.
