But the highest decile is >74 drinks / week so 2 per day really is moderate in comparison... that article is quite the eye-opener!
this is great news. the code below failed to compile in 2.3 but works in 2.4. it was an annoying bummer when working with ADTs in typescript. It's also nice that you can use string enum for the discriminators now. "{ kind: Kind.Ok, value: 'bla' }" feels less stringly.

interface Ok<T> { kind: "ok"; value: T; }
interface Err { kind: "err"; error: string; }
type Result<T> = Ok<T> | Err

const maybeNumbers: Result<number>[] = [
{ kind: "ok", value: 10 },
{ kind: "err", error: 'some error' },
{ kind: "ok", value: 9 },
];

function isOk<T>(thing: Result<T>): thing is Ok<T> {
return thing.kind === "ok";
}

const okNumbers: Ok<number>[] = maybeNumbers.filter(isOk);

> After adjustment for numerous potential confounders, alcohol use was associated with reduced right hippocampal volume in a dose dependent manner; even moderate drinkers (classified as up to 21 units a week for men at the time of the study) were three times more likely to have hippocampal atrophy than abstainers, and very light drinking (1-6 units a week) conferred no protection relative to abstinence. Higher alcohol consumption was also associated with reduced white matter integrity and faster decline in lexical fluency, a test of “executive function.”

Winnuke? That was way before XP, though, I remember it crashed windows 95 and 98 first edition.
Use it as a javascript syntax checker, it's probably the easiest to work with right now. And, when you learn more javascript, you may eventually take a look at actual typescript.
My concern about this study is that it used a large number of different measures: multiple structural brain measures and cognitive tests, then swept the negative ones under the rug and reported only positive correlations. This is like the XKCD jelly bean test https://xkcd.com/882/ There is no reason to accept these types of results without replication.
Do you not think that websites should alert users that they are being tracked?

I suppose the Guardian shouldn't alert people that the NSA listens to their telephone calls, either. (Because every spy agency does it?)
The page that you linked to shows off some features that are not really found in any major programming langauge. Time-traveling search is a big one for me.

Many languages have exceptions, but with shift/reset, you can implement your own exception handling behavior trivially, including things like resumable exceptions.

Some languages have async/await, but almost all of those implementations are state-machine based, which means that they don't compose well when used with more complex language features like generics and higher order functions.

But more than that, in continuation-based asynchronous programming, "async" functions are just normal functions that execute in an async prompt. Here's an example of a multi-user asynchronous TCP echo server in my toy language with tagged delimited continuations:

async {
loop {
let conn = accept_connection("localhost", 9999)
async {
loop {
let data = conn.next_data()
conn.send(data)
}
}
}
}

Where all of those asyncrhonous constructs (including `async` itself) are really short wrappers around delimited continuation machinery.

You'll notice that the nested calls to `async` indicate that there are two asyncrhonous contexts

1. Connection acceptance happen on their own "thread" of control

2. Each connection gets their own context in which everything is internally asyncrhonous
The government worries me more than people/companies for two reasons:

1) The government can track me everywhere with cameras anywhere they want in public; companies would be mostly restricted to when I walk past their franchises in most cases (drones could be an issue, but cross that bridge when we get to it)

2) The government agencies have motivation and a history of suppressing new or bothersome political parties which challenge their budgets. Ether by spreading dirt gathered via other activities or jailing activists such things are at least substantially harder for a company to accomplish.
Facebook monopolized social advertising. Facebook makes your friends want things that they don't need and in doing so is distorting society's values and encouraging mindless consumerism.
I wouldn't be so quick to blame YC. YC actually encourages founders to be smart about their funding money and not spend a premium just to HQ in SF if at all possible. Problem is a lot of founders just feel so inclined to work in SF.
I've written reasonably complicated stuff in awk (like a page or two of code). Probably could have solved those problems more elegantly with another tool, but I never learned perl, and I find awk simple enough that the man page is all I need to refresh my memory. For text manipulation that's a one-off or likely to not need further maintenance, I think it's great.
> If this is indeed a factor, one of the things we collectively as part of the tech industry can do, is to intentionally spread ourselves away from SF, into other areas of the bay area.

Trouble is, the hot young talent often want to live right in SF and walk/bike to work. So it becomes hard to recruit successfully if your company does not have an office in SF, and you are not Apple, Facebook or Google. My company is in Redwood City (about 30 minutes south of SF) and we experience this problem.
Yes, again if you are doing some transactional behavior like two users buying the last concert seat. However, making those apps be offline-first is kinda silly in the first place.

The types of apps that naturally fit with mobile apps, client-facing behavior, are ones that have more append-only data structures (twitter, snapchat, messaging, etc.). Those apps benefit much more from an AP system rather than a CP system, because it makes the end user's (the client) life better/more-available.

Again, the right tool for the job. And CockroachDB is certainly the right choice for the right problem. Well written article, keep it up!

Is this really that infeasible? If we just started somewhere unhealthy, and said In N Out with drone delivery, then the $5/meal isn't that far off from what the current cost is.

If we could eliminate the building, the employees (and all of the overhead that goes along with them), and the expensive location that the buildings are usually in, it seems like the cost of the burger could come down.

That sounds pretty nuts, but I don't think it's completely impossible at scale.
Transaction fees only need to be high if you are in a hurry. If you can wait a week or two you can go with very small TX fees. As you can see in this graph even very low (5 to 10 Satoshi per byte) fee transaction are confirmed eventually. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#24h

Honestly, if I could just make links easily between notes I'd be pretty set with Notes.app except for the fact that code is kind of hard to write in it. i.e. snippets, etc.

I tried using it because you're right, it's one of the better experiences on iOS/macOS since it's been designed to be well done from the ground up. I should probably try the new iOS 11 one before completely writing it off because I heard on Gruber's latest podcast that the app has gotten way better now with the big iPad productivity push.
Yikes, these headlines then are just different flavors of emotions, no different than ice-cream being chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, etc. And there's a flavor to satisfy everyone's taste.

I highly doubt any of these claims are true on the low end. Maybe if you only go to expensive restaurants.
In the words of another poster, it sounds MS was punished for being very successful!

The thing about anti-trust is that being a monopoly is allowed. What's not allowed is using a monopoly position to get a large advantage in another market.
I had to catch myself from saying "what the fuck" out loud.

I don't want to be rude to you, but I find this to be hilarious:

>Such a service has no real hope of taking the place of someone with actual cooking skills who knows you well and will tweak the recipe to your preferences, possibly without you even having to explicitly ask or remind her.

Sounds like a job for a... maid! Which really puts a delicious spin on the odd, mildly sexist suggestion that "lack of wives" is a problem that needs disruption.

Or, you know, there's another person that "knows you well and will tweak the recipe to your preferences," namely, yourself.
The reason I go with Safari Content blockers and /etc/hosts is because both of those solutions stop network requests before they even attempt to make a network request. uBlock is a good backup solution, but I want my computer to think Facebook doesn't even exist as a url, regardless of context.

For example uBlock won't stop iMessage from trying to load Facebook's inline media content when someone messages me a Facebook link.
Actually I think the bigger threat would be lyft charging $16 and paying the drivers more. But outside of a few big American cities Uber dwarfs lyft so they would need to scale up before they could really threaten

After seeing this I am committed to re-subscribing to National Geographic when I get home. It is pricey, but I would hate to see this publication go out of print. It has inspired so many people for decades. Sure, it could be replaced, but it is one of the great pillars of the publication world. Shame on me for not doing so sooner.
There's something gross about being able to avoid social security contributions as a government provided business incentive. I get it wasn't a Gusto decision (and that they're just enabling claiming the benefit), but it's still unsettling.
I doubt it. We have a price aggregator (skroutz.gr) here in Greece that people prefer because it's actually useful. The above site doesn't look like that.

Of course there are no killings. Mostly they were moved to small/half abandoned villages out of sight.

When society on all levels is really not-welcoming to homeless that may force some people to try much harder not to end-up as bum on the streets.

Of which lawsuit do you speak? From [1]:-

> The European Commission has decided to open an antitrust investigation into allegations that Google Inc. has abused a dominant position in online search, in violation of European Union rules (Article 102 TFEU). The opening of formal proceedings follows complaints by search service providers about unfavourable treatment of their services in Google's unpaid and sponsored search results coupled with an alleged preferential placement of Google's own services. This initiation of proceedings does not imply that the Commission has proof of any infringements. It only signifies that the Commission will conduct an in-depth investigation of the case as a matter of priority.

The Southern Student Organizing Committee sought social change that they saw as good.

OTOH, so did (and do!) the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Opinions rather radically different on which social change is good, so someone who merely tells you that they are seeking social change (whether or not they explicitly specify that it is “good”), but not what specific change they are seeking probably doesn't deserve much credit. Unless you are merely a seeker of chaos, such that any change, regardless of the nature of the change, is, inherently, good in your view.

I'm having good luck with caffeine + l-theanine + l-tyrosine.

I occasionally use nicergoline which I really like, however if I use it too many days and then skip, I get a headache - much like caffeine withdrawal.

At night I sometimes use rutaecarpine to deactivate any late-afternoon caffeine - though after a few days of continued use - it tends to render caffeine ineffective.
Wow, thanks! That means a lot to me. Honestly, I didn't expect this to interest anyone.
I see this opinion brought up a lot but what would the logistics be? You can't just cut or move the full 275M immediately because surely some of those funds are absolutely crucial, i.e. keeping the lights on at shelters or funding hospitals who otherwise would foot large bills.
Say it ain't so
A single shot of hard liquor is explicitly 1 unit. 1 standard serving is 25ml, *40% (standard for whiskey and vodka ) = 10ml = 1 unit. So 14 units is 14 shots.

This is not a coincidence. It's why they call it a "unit", and why the standard "single shot size" is 25ml.

(The other measurements are fine)

Edit: caveat: I'm European. This may be different in the us!
I don't have it in writing or video, but in 2008 at ACM Reflections/Projections at University of Illinois I was involved in a long conversation with Larry Wall and Al Aho. It was largely about the history and lineage of programming languages.

Al said that if Perl had existed first there wouldn't have been an awk. I pointed out that parts of Perl are inspired by awk and might have otherwise been inspired by SNOBOL or ICON, at which point everyone present seemed to agree means we're thankful for awk. I take it as high praise when Al Aho defers to your tool.

I was just reminiscing with Larry about that discussion last week at The Perl Conference in Arlington. He said he had fond memories of that conversation and that he and Al went for lunch the next day after that conversation, too. I'd have loved to be there for that.
generally people who do meal-kits just aren't good at shopping. it isn't cheaper, healthier or faster to cook than regular food. the only thing it might be better at is faster at preparation, an advantage that is negated if you buy a sufficiently large amount of food each time you purchase and pre-prepare (cutting chicken into slices and freezing them, etc.).

tldr: only lazy people with more time than money would be interested in this.

if anyone disagrees go ahead and post your cooking schedule and workflow. i'll point out the glaring inefficiencies (e.g. buying small amounts of food frequently for preparing and then complaining it takes too long to eat; cooking small amounts of food; not preslicing meat upon purchase, etc)

the one thing i'll give meal kits is that you can get a large variety of food.

Okay, looks like that is true today, but Whole Foods was doing home delivery before Instacart even existed, at least in NYC.

Amazon Fresh outsources their actual delivery, as well, so no points for that one.

> In fact, the sun generates less energy per volume than a compost.

Though the sun can keep it up far longer than a compost can...

> It's all about the scaling of the surface area vs. the volume.

If I understand that statement correctly, would it be easier to create a fusion reactor if we made it bigger?
Once I learned Perl I never used awk or sed again. Even for one liners with the -n -p -a options you can easily write one liners in Perl that are concise as those in Awk.
That's not a monopoly, that's just advertising.
There's room for two approaches in Java really. The JIT can be smart and use SIMD instructions where it can see they are applicable, but there's also room for a small DSL like API that allows library authors and other very experienced users to express a suitable algorithm and have it easily translated into the SIMD instructions available at runtime. Anybody interested in the latter should take a look at the work being done under project Panama.
I think the difference is that the US has abject poverty at levels that call into question its status as a proper first world country. So many of these people probably simply require some basic mental health/rehab services, but they just have too many hoops to jump through to get them (assuming they qualify for Medicaid or other assistance, which isn't necessarily a given). It's not surprising that a country like Britain with reasonably accessible social services has way fewer people in this condition.
To your question about why they've taken over public transit in particular - I think the situation is just that out of hand. Libraries and parks are similarly full of homeless people, probably just due to the fact that they're public.
once you realize that prison mainly just serves to disenfranchise the poor and minorities, the fact executives don't go to prison is obvious.

people will disagree, but you need only look at the facts to see.

His point is not that Coca-cola has _no_effect on you, but their effect on you is pretty much limited to getting you to drink Coke, because that's their goal.

Facebook can, has, and certainly will continue to monitor and influence MOST aspects of peoples lives - social, political, religious, economic, etc. Just ads and subtle filtering of walls and ads alone is provably HUGE impact-wise.
The most stressful professional situations I've ever have been in have been maybe a 4 out of 10 stress-wise, whereas interviews range from 7 to 9 out of 10.

Agree mostly -- just that I guess I've fallen into more abusive environments than I should have allowed myself to over the years, where the stress levels have hit will into the 7-10 range.

But in healthy environments -- even when I really did screw something up (sometimes quite significantly) -- it's never above the 4-5 range.

Interviews aren't ordinary job situations: they are contrived situations where people are making life-changing decisions based on a very short interaction.

And pretending that they can read the tea leaves, and make that kind of assessment as to "whether this guy can handle a medium amount of pressure", to boot.
I share it. What now?
A platform that pays developers to use it is no platform at all.

Yes, there's exceptions to every rule. But I have yet to see this strategy of a platform fund ever succeed.

Better to build (or tap into) a captive audience and then sell that to developers.

I mean, I get what he's saying. I do most of the cooking around our house, and do tweak recipes to suit my woman's tastes. Yes, could've been phrased better but I think he's onto something in terms of the dedicated homemaker in general of either sex becoming a bit of a reach for most households to have.
Algorithm is presorting, cheap third world labour is final sorting.

Cheap third world labour radicalizes with this impression of a corrupt west.

Cheap thirld word labour joins terrorists and produces horrifying pictures/videos - posted to facebook.

Thus the circle is closed.
I'm a former homemaker and full time mom. You have failed in your stated goal of not being rude to me.

I am merely describing the problem space. If people wanted to, you know, tweak it themselves, then there would be no food services of any kind, not restaurants and not take out food and not meal-in-a-box delivery services. We would just all cook for ourselves if everyone just loved doing that and didn't want this somehow magically taken care of by some other means.

Everyone needs to eat. It is a requirement to remain alive. But most people don't want to spend all their time on this vital activity. They want a good meal, but hassle-free or low hassle.

That isn't a criticism. I don't really like cooking either. It is just an observation about reality.
You're ignoring that the GP comment is working on multiple axes. For a given level of healthfulness, these services may well be cheaper and easier. Sometimes cost is not the primary constraint.
