I'm actually a fan of them but I agree that the city didn't install them correctly. Probably the biggest mistake was allowing bicycles the right of way during pedestrian crossing at the 4th and Colorado intersection. That just turns the whole thing into a game of frogger and encourages cyclists to run red lights at full speed at the other Scrambles, where they do not have the right of way.
No, and they've specifically specified it as always available. Just as GCC still supports C89.

However, they also specified this as only affecting translation/desugaring, which makes the additional code minimally invasive.
Don't forget to make it struggle to scroll text at some point in the cycle.
In the Bay Area, the intersections of Franklin St. and Webster St. with 8th St. and 9th St. in Oakland Chinatown are configured this way. You can easily see the markings in aerial photos (e.g. Google Maps satellite view). The streets at these intersections are one-way, by the way.
Running `git describe` will give you the nearest tag. gitk will also show you the tag in a manner similar to how it displays a branch head.
I've kept back pain at bay with a simple 3-point plan. Sleep on an uncomfortable bed with a firm surface and a thin futon for padding. Sit on uncomfortable chairs, mostly the wooden kitchen chair type. Lift free weights, i.e. barbells or kettle bells. No levers and pulley systems. The weight has to be free to fall and hurt you. Just never overdo it so that it never does fall like that.

Works for me, probably because it keeps all the little muscles between the ribs working smoothly. Humans are not built for comfort but paradoxically, avoiding modern comforts will have you sleeping like a baby, avoiding back pain, and give you reserves to climb a mountain when you feel like it.
Ask HN: Take home interview problems: clarity vs. efficiency
I've got a take home interview problem and I've solved it 2 ways.

One is O(n) which I believe is the best performance possible.
The other is O(n log(n)), but the code is much nicer and easier to read.

On the one hand, this is a test of programming skill which ought to test my ability to write efficient code.

On the other hand, the efficiency difference may be completely irrelevant if this is used in certain contexts.

From an engineering standpoint it's impossible to balance efficiency with readability and maintainability without knowing more about the use case.

How do you remedy this in a take home challenge setting?
> Ramin reports that they are impossible to point at on an x-ray, because they don’t exist; a dislocated joint in your spine would be the result of a horrendous injury that sends you to the hospital, she explains, not to a massage table.

The Chiropractor I visit utilizes x-rays & a thermographic scanner to identify the subluxations.

From consistently seeing my x-rays, it's obvious where my subluxations lie. The thermographic scanner analysis also corresponds with what I feel & what my x-rays show. The targeted adjustments increase my range of motions, blood flow, & "good feeling" in the areas of the subluxation; in a progressive way. The spine (especially the neck) is a complex biomechanical system, so it takes iterations to enhance. I've also tried yoga (ashtanga) & exercise in the past, but my back was still messed up.

While it's healthy to be skeptical, it's also healthy to be skeptical of the skeptics.

During the turn of the 20th century, the robber barons (i.e. Rockefellers) financed a campaign to promote the nascent allopathic medicine & to discredit the traditional naturalpathic medicine. They financed universities, including politically maneuvering in allopathic faculty & ostricizing naturalpathic faculty. They also utilized the new science of propaganda (later renamed to public relations) to convince the population of their worldview.

Allopathic medicine tends to be more profitable large companies (monopolies) for a few reasons:

* it has an innate subscription model (i.e. medication)

* it can utilize patents & professional associations to control markets

* by attending to the symptoms & not the root causes, it can create long-term or even lifetime customers who become dependent

* side effects can be masked & non-obvious via bioaccumulation

* masking side effects creates new symptoms to create demand for new medicine

* having a monopoly in practitioners & capital allows companies/markets to control the funding & dissemination of research results

* since it relates to health care, populations demand government subsidies funded by taxpayers & other government funds (i.e. ObamaCare)

* since it's health care, laws can be passed to "ensure the public good". These laws are often written by the lobbyists to restrict competition. For example, in many states, it's a criminal offense to be a Naturalpathic Doctor.

* there's been a recent epidemic (~60 from 2015-2016) of Naturalpathic & well known critics of the allopathic medicine industry/science with mysterious deaths

I'm sure there are many other strategems that I'm missing; but this shows how allopathic medicine is quite a lucrative business with heavily dependent customers. It's also politically incorrect to call out the state of affairs as it's an involved & emotional topic with massively capitalized special interests who want to keep their golden goose.

I think that such a slave could have many uses. Woman slave could be used for breeding and speed up the process of recovering heard numbers after some catastrophe. Also, it could be skill based - where slaves with unique skills would be traded (like making ropes, sharp objects, bowls), something that would be hard to grasp for ancient people.
There is also a "mule" thing, where slaves would be used for carrying stuff. And of course the last - religious. Could be that group would have a "different looking" person in a heard as a charm/talisman (breeding with it would result in healthy children - thanks to genetic diversity).

But it could be nothing. More research is important for sure.
Same here. Went from being unable to lift even 100 lbs without pain to 495lbs. I don’t recommend going quite that far to everyone, but 315lbs should not be a problem at all for men.
Haha so much for 3T. But I realize that it's not like this is anything but analysis.
Good example: There is no homeschooling allowed in Germany. And private schools and universities are rare. The public education system is full of international socialist propaganda.
The same thing happens to every subreddit. It's good, people like it, it grows very large, the quality of submissions goes down (or the same content gets reposted constantly). People are incentivized by their visible "karma" score to post mass amounts of low-effort content.
Agree that weight/load is an issue. In my experience, a measurable side effect of a daily routine is some weight loss, which if nothing else provides motivation for continuing.
Assuming software development: it's not easy to make 6 figures outside of finance / fintech, in London or Switzerland, unless you contract / consult. You could get there working for an SV firm, more likely if based in London / Switzerland and competing for the same pool of talent.
>So you'd like to have agencies set up to fine every company that gets hacked through 'known vulnerabilities'?

Not exactly, but I do feel that entities recklessly handling PII or possibly in this case their update servers should face consequences.

>Enforcing this arbitrarily after big hacks is hardly an equivalent analogy to enforcing traffic violations. It'd have to be consistent, well defined, and widely enforced to be at all effective.

We definitely agree on this.

>To me this is an emotional reaction that has no regard for cause/effect.

This particular raid? Undoubtedly.

What? MS was all about third party apps and encouraged the vendor lock in they provided. Windows was absolutely spartan compared to what you'd get with a linux distro at the time.

I know the included certain apps that were contentious, like a browser, but Balmer wasn't kidding when he made that "dvelopers, developers, developers" speech.

Except that's not what's happening. There's a massive pile of patients who will try literally anything, they are a price and solution inelastic market, and like they say, there's a sucker born every minute. Except the sucker is a patient that isn't ever allowed, by this particular market, to get a refund for bad advice and procedures. You have to basically be injured by the doctor to have standing to sue.

The idea of health care as a product like a jug of milk is just ignorant, idealist, nonsense.
Yes! This is an idea I've always had, I even started simulating it but never finished it (of course).

It's insane to me to see a car unable to make a right turn in city traffic due to a slow pedestrian. And it's even worse that pedestrians are constantly unsafe crossing in someone's turning lane.

Taking turns will increase latency for some but I imagine it has to also increase bandwidth. With the safety benefits, seems like a no brainier at intersections that are popular for both cars and people.
SVB finally dumped their awful 'UK Services' menu for faster payments. If you've heard rumours of SVB sucking here, that was why, and now it's gone and replaced by something decent. No complaints so far and you can actually speak to people. They're not really a 'bank in app' like Monzo, Starling and Atom but they're decent and have business accounts.

I wonder if TellerAPI has SVB support? You could make your own damn app.
Really? I didn't see that in the slides. I saw "trade classes or grades for other stuff (but still work to or past your limit)" specifically with the references to not sleeping. As a CMU alum that both hit home and depressed me. I can't, and don't want, to do that kind of shit anymore. Why are we encouraging our undergrads to work to the point of harm in order to excel? Excellence can happen without all nighters, and it's more sustainable that way.

In essence, I agree with you but I don't think the slides do.
Found a company, register a trademark in the same name in all relevant jurisdictions, hire a legal team that are trawling the internet and the world in general for trademark abuse so the trademark is defended. Hope that some registrar or internet body do not change a policy of some sort or another. Did I miss something?
In my experience in the US you are much more likely to be 'sold' on unneeded medication and services vs getting an accurate meaningful diagnosis and course of treatment, when it comes to a whole host of problems but esp w.r.t physical injuries, rehab etc.

90% of the doctors you see will have no clue about treatments you can find in a 5min search on youtube. I don't mean hack treatments or miracle cures but basic physiotherapy, prevention etc.

Overprescription and unnecessary procedures are the norm. Patients are milked for money rather than being treated. The fear of litigation and desire to make a profit are the primary factors, not patient health.

I've suffered multiple sports related injuries. Consulted a number of doctors, out of pocket and covered by insurance. The physiotherapy they recommend is almost always the most basic and didn't do much. Doctors refuse to discuss other options or refer you outside their 'network'.

The whole system positively reeks.
I thought this community would be more scientific...instead of anecdotes I'd rather see links to rigorous studies e.g. showing acupuncture or chiropractors work especially since these two forms of intervention have been subjected to decades of research already, have no plausible scientific basis and claim to treat many more things besides back pain. They should be held to the same standards as other medicine.
I've never eaten breakfast, even when I was a child. Just not something my family has ever done. I somewhat often accidentally forget to eat for 24 hours. I wonder why I find this comparatively easy compared to what others have expressed?
Doctors in the U.S. are paid per procedure. They are not salaried. And they aren't paid to make you better. They're paid to try (via the procedure). No refunds.

If the same behavior (including debating consciousness in internet threads!) could be reproduced by a more efficient program that isn't conscious, how do you know you are conscious?

Not much sympathy here; if you want your personal address to be noreply, get your own mail domain.

Although it's not listed by RFC 2142 as a special alias, it de facto is.

For instance, in my SMTP setup, I reject messages that are from noreply@<any-domain>. (A small white-list of exceptions applies.)

A noreply address is a rude indication meaning "I want to talk to you, but I don't want to hear from you". Yeah, well, likewise here then: while I have your TCP connection, which does accept datagrams from me, let me tell you what I think with my RST segment.
Counterpoint: hundreds of effective medical treatments for a variety of problems exist. Even in the joint pain market, compare today with 30 years ago. What would be career-ending injuries in the 80s are now resolved in time to return for next year. And these treatments are available to normal people too.

So, all I have to do to impose my will on you is to insist, backed by little to no evidence, that highly-regulated taxis "benefit society" more than less-regulated rideshare services do. Correct?

It seems that the people who determine what does and does not "benefit society" have a significant amount of unwarranted power. If this weren't true, we wouldn't be seeing cases like this one where the people -- the same ones that supposedly make up the democracy in question -- insist on using unauthorized/illegal rideshare services.

If your response to my reasoning is, "Well, it's a democracy after all, they're getting what they voted for," then the contradiction is too obvious to bother pointing out.
No, you went on to say:

> But if you think of sugar, etc. as necessary and natural then you're more or less doomed, as you deserve to be.

Which, apart from being wildly unnecessary color commentary, is the equivalent of saying the earth is flat. Sugar is literally one of the core building blocks of aerobic life, which is over 99.9999999% of multicellular organisms.
Go read old IRC logs, it's pretty "meh". You can join mailing lists where there mostly "old schoolers", which is also pretty "meh". The people or the conversations where never that exciting. It was all about the context of being exposed to something emerging. You were chatting with people from the other side of the world while most people had barely read a foreign newspaper. I'm sure one could have similar experiences today, but it's unlikely to be in a text interface among adults with $3000 laptops.

The end result will likely result in more companies wasting time of useless theatrics like PCI compliance to protect themselves from legal liability rather than meaningfully protecting users data and preventing their systems from being launch points for bigger attacks.

This is why I'm highly doubtful about the ROI of burdening companies, courts, and law enforcement with this 'solution'.

Even though it feels good to punish a faceless corporation for making a seemingly obvious mistake.
If these businesses are "constantly harassed" why has there never been published a recording of these harassing calls? There are 38 states in which either party can record a call without the consent of the other party.
I think a medical license is a total joke. Now instead of quacks peddling snake oil, we get extremely expensive quacks with diplomas peddling snake oil. My wife has back pain and we paid for a $1000 injection the doctor recommended that did nothing.
Yeah it seems that people like the memes, image macros, and one liners. It's throwaway entertainment so people don't have to think (of course, there are people who do want to think and have intelligent discourse too). Like someone else wrote in this thread, what happened was that people came, people who didn't grow up using the Internet in the days when it was run by academics, government, and hobbyists.

I think the solution (as much as there can be one) is to just stick to your own communities where you find the discourse that you enjoy. For me, it's Hacker News, certain subreddits, and some forums.

I believe that for him personal freedom was not about the contents of a bag or even the journey of thousands and thousands of steps. Freedom for him was the ability to cast off the trappings that most in society allow to define them. For him, personal freedom was the ability to lie down at night and know that he had done exactly what he wanted to do that day and he did it to the best of his ability. Freedom meant he could think great thoughts or he could just be; he dreamed; he appreciated the beauty of the world around him as the rest of us did what was required of us rather than what enriched us; he formed a relationship with his God; rather than just having faith, he lived his faith. Freedom is different for each of us but maybe it was what Shakespeare was saying when he said "To thine own self be true."

We all seek personal freedom, I just define it as dreaming, creating, building, nourishing, challenging, changing and pursuing...freedom is not the ability to do these things, but actually in doing them.

I also sincerely doubt that it's "highly unlikely" that most people have tasted real vanilla in their lifetimes. We are in total agreement here because I never said "lifetime" I meant highly unlikely that people have tasted real vanilla in the vanilla product that they buy from the super market. I thought the 99% statistic made that clear... Apologies for not being more detailed, but please don't put words in my mouth, I never said "lifetime."

Also thanks for specifying the price of individual beans. If you calculate the price per pound you will see that it fluctuates,.. last I heard they were $600 per pound. Just to let you know, when people go shopping for vanilla beans, most people don't buy one bean at a time, they buy it by weight because each bean can have a different weight, FYI.

Don't worry. I'm in the process of solving this.

The solution was in front of us all this time. It's the semantic web. What was missing is an accessible client, and it will be available soon.

Imagine one giant unified semantic decentralized database of everything. Add smart contracts, quantified self, intent inferring, and binary input (à la Tinder or Akinator). Organize this on a timeline, so that your OS becomes a task management system. That's it.

Unfortunately, my strategy is to target kids that haven't yet be corrupted by current communication paradigms. I think 5 to 12 year old is the sweet spot. Older people will be able to use it, but I don't know if they'll be able to grasp the full potential. Only time will tell.
>>Acupuncture should, ideally, be tested separately for effectiveness for each individual condition for which it has been proposed (like so many other forms of alternative medicine, that is a very large number). Good quality trials have not been done for all of them, but results suggest strongly that it is unlikely that acupuncture works for rheumatoid arthritis, stopping smoking, irritable bowel syndrome, or for losing weight. There is also no good reason to think it works for addictions, asthma, chronic pain, depression, insomnia, neck pain, shoulder pain or frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis of the knee, sciatica, stroke or tinnitus, and many other conditions.18<<

The key part of that paragraph being "Good quality trials have not been done for all of them".

It's a shame that Western science seems so intent on dismissing non-western treatments and techniques, rather than committing to running the same detailed trials that they do on profitable drugs.

Hehe. I think it's Open Source at play: X publishes an innovative method, Y iterates with a cleaner version benefiting from lessons-learnt, X says "awesome, let's join forces!" and they live together happily thereafter. Inferno passed over to another lead who's pushing it forward.

IMO this is a good outcome: there is some marginal value in yet another "React-like but faster" library, but the same energy could help a lot more people if applied directly to the source of the madness.
