I think this is a scummy reply because it is purely written to exploit vulnerable people and provide them baseless hope.

You do not say how, what, or why your religion has done to help you and you make a broad sweeping statement that some thing (a god) will magically solve mental illness. If anything this sort of crap will prolong suffering, and or exacerbate the problems associated with mental illness because it's not a solution or treatment.

Tangentially (off topic), I'd argue you were never truly an atheist if you could be "converted." There is no turning back, I won't one day believe in Santa Claus again.
You need a TLS connection to get the NIST beacon, which requires a seeded rng. That seems like a chicken and egg problem.
Yes, maybe, but there's no proof so why assume it and make an article like this which doesn't even has any reserve about it (reread the paragraph I quoted if you doubt my claim) ? There's not even one "maybe" in his whole essay !

>Yes, some people die, but they tend to be the old and weak, just like the flu

Actually they tend to be children. Of the 438k estimated deaths from Malaria in 2015, 75% (306k) were under the age of 5. [1]

But your comparison with influenza is a good one. Despite the estimated 12000 influenza associated deaths in the US in the 2015/16 seasons, there were only ~85 influenza associated pediatric deaths. [2][3]. By comparison, globally from 2000-2015 Pneumonia was responsible for 16% of deaths in children under the age of 5, while Malaria was 5%. [4]

The data suggests that the high impact of Malaria on infant mortality has more to do with inadequate availability of healthcare. Unsurprising given that the under 5 mortality rate in sub-Saharan africa is 14 times that of developed regions. [5]

Meizu Pro 7 Official Teaser and Other Leaked Images
Yeah, except that...

(1) when the car and the ICE advanced so many other places of the world, we didn't have alternative technologies. Now we do,

(2) climate change is already underway, with mid-term scenarios ranging from very worrying to catastrophic,

(3) the population densities and city sizes in those places of the world where ICE cars saw a boom in the last century were nowhere near that of India. A car-centric model in cities over 10M population is a disaster,

(4) for this reason the most comparable example would be China, who is experiencing massive pollution problems in cities, and has already reacted with traffic-restricting laws and the rapid construction of metropolitan mass-transit networks and a high-speed rail network.

I get the argument that it's unfair for the West to deny to others what we already experimented in the past, but I really don't think it's in the interest of India (even ignoring global factors like climate change) to become a massively polluting car-centric society. We know better now, the way forward is not to reenact the West's 80s, it's to take advantage of not having made the West's errors to skip that and embrace newer tech and trends directly (just as landlines were skipped in so many countries).
I would be more inclined to file them if I didn't have to consult an independent third party (open radar) to (hopefully) see what's going on with the radar referenced when one gets closed as a dupe. The more you make it a chore to file or track bugs the less likely I am to bother.

The app evaluated the expected income from Ancillary Service contracts in the UK energy market and subequently reconciled against actual income:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancillary_services_(electric_p...

It comprised a windows server, a web app and a calculation engine.

As well as remorselessly removing boilerplate code using FP techniques the F# solution also allowed us to explore our way, via the REPL, to solving the problems we were faced with and come up with better ways of doing things. The clarity, concision and low ceremony of F# code allowed us to rapidly evaluate and change approaches if necessary.

I find getting into the flow of development much easier in a language that supports this exploratory approach to programming - leads to less rigid thinking.

Not anymore. Since reddit made numerous changes, I don't think I've ever seen one of theirs make the front page. Pretty funny that the site had to change the core of their operation to target them.
I think this is definitely the problem in the United States. In my country they don't just willy nilly prescribe opioids. The best you get is ibuprofen. For example, after a terrible shoulder injury or tooth extraction, that's all you get. It helps with the pain, but doesn't remove it 100%, doesn't get you hooked though. Of course they give IV opioids after surgeries and such, but even then something mild and in small doses, and only for a certain period time. I remember still feeling pain after an appendectomy, but they refused to give me any more tramadol and just switched to IV ibuprofen. It's just not a thing as a prescription medicine. Except maybe for terminal cancer patients or something equally drastic.

Going off on a tangent, what my country might have a problem with, is benzos, however. They're prescribed like psychiatric vitamins.
Somehow I thought this would be about monads and using them to control side effects.

Mildly clickbaity headline since this isn't at all iOS specific - it's any photos with location et al EXIF.

I do agree with his main idea - that iOS could benefit from an extra "...but not metadata" flag for some apps - except then you probably have to get into which metadata people want scrubbing; pretty soon you've got a technical and customer support nightmare.

Better to leave it at app level and educate people about which apps "leak" metadata. Instagram, for example, strips location data from uploaded photos; even ones with a tagged location.
If that's the case, there's a good argument to be made about teaching automation of common tasks using bash or Perl, rather than JavaScript.

I'm going to assume the lion's share of costs in something as routine as a regular delivery of a baby (i.e. no complications) is probably going to be: Hospital expenses and doctor/surgery costs. IMO paying thousands of dollars to surgeons is definitely justified. I have several doctors in the extended fam, some of whom are surgeons. One of my cousins is studying to be one. Its just fucking crazy how much effort is required to be a doctor (not to mention all the costs assosciated with the education itself). So personally, I think the labor costs of surgery are justified.

The hospital charges make sense too as you're under supervision by trained nurses and living in a room built with specialized equipment.

I had an appendectomy recently. Everything included (surgery, hospital charges, drugs etc.) came to ~ $55k. Insurance paid most of it and I was ultimately charged around $5k. With that in mind $130k doesn't sound unreasonable for a delivery of a baby.
Top 7 apps to help you search your dream job
Different. Why?
I use the ternary operator all the time.

result = boolean_flag
? do_this()
: do_that();

I think it's less noisy and nicer to look at then an if-else, provided the statements aren't too long. God forbid multiple side effects though, even in languages with less complicated sequencing rules than C/C++.

I think that the ternary operator should only be used for side-effect free code.

So:

auto result = boolean_flag ?
compute_property() :
compute_another_property();

if (boolean_flag) {
do_this();
} else {
do_that();
}
Me again - I really like the idea. I wish I had something like that at a previous job, where queries ran against some 10-level nested views, involving tons of unnecessary joins, projections, unions, sorts, distincts, and what not.

I'm pretty sure that Oracle figured it out all correctly, so the excessive SQL wasn't causing performance issues, but from a maintainability perspective, it would have been nice to have a tool that was able to reduce arbitrary SQL to a more minimal, semantically equivalent alternative.

Then you're blessed with good fortune! Unfortunately I remember getting my lunch milk carton already sticky and wet from other damaged cartons in the elementary school cafeteria many times. Only the inside was waxed, so once one carton sprung a leak, the rest would weaken from the leakage, and sometimes when you'd go to pick yours up, it would tear and spill. Yuck.

Introduce them to the concept of static single assignment form, and how it is an intermediate form that enables a tonne of downstream optimisations. Most of those "wasteful extra variables" would be introduced by the compiler anyway, so it's not a problem.

Alternatively, just ask them to prove it. If it's faster, they can benchmark before and after, and prove that it's faster? No proof means you're full of shit. This is the Right Answer in that it's what you should be doing anyhow to avoid performance regressions, but it's way more combative and can cause problems within the team, so must be done tactfully.
A programmer once believed in the God of Spaces. But they were never quite sure how many spaces were the One True Number. They grew up with Four. Younger believers told them Two. They even tried Three in their wilderness years, but that made them feel odd.

Then a stranger asked, "Why do you worry so with your counting? Do you ever expect to find the right number? Just use a tab, my friend, and the number will always be One."

In that moment, the programmer was enlightened.

But in their previous days, was this programmer not a true Believer of Spaces?
Obviously all EVM programs halt, otherwise the Ethereum network would be completely ruined immediately. You already know why they halt: there's a gas limit.

Ethereum programs aren't Turing complete. They always halt. Turing complete programs don't generally halt. That's the definition.

You should demonstrate your understanding by using these terms correctly!

This whole argument about Turing completeness is a huge red herring.

The Parity multisig attack was an extremely simple programming error that has nothing to do with Turing completeness.

That people put their trust in such a contract despite its source code being obviously wrong points to the real problem.

The real problem right now is the lack of convenient tools and established practices for formal verification. If you think formal verification is impossible for EVM, you're wrong and you fundamentally misunderstand computation.

I've seen this criticism over and over again on internet forums: "EVM is so stupid, it can't be formally verified because it's Turing complete."

It's totally wrong: EVM isn't Turing complete, and it doesn't matter.

Look at "The Art of Computer Programming." It's full of Knuth's proofs of the correctness of algorithms written in assembler and imperative code. Look at any proof of correctness of a sorting algorithm.

OBVIOUSLY you can prove the correctness of programs written in Turing complete languages. You just look at the specification of the language, formulate a specification of your program's intended behavior, and then prove that the code matches the specification. This is how formal verification works, regardless of Turing-completeness.

To clarify, what is the impact of Turing completeness on formal verification? It means that for some ARBITRARY program, you cannot ALWAYS prove that it halts.

But even with some non-Turing complete formalism, you obviously cannot automatically prove the correctness of an arbitrary program; that's just nonsense. You could be certain that the program halts, sure, but how valuable is that? Ethereum already guarantees that all programs halt using the very simple gas mechanism.

Came here to quote the same sentence and post a similar reply. I've been using Firefox forever, esp. b/c of some of the extensions, but it just isn't stable, reliable, or performance-oriented anymore. Chrome is more stable, snappier, and smoother.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Firefox, but the reality is that Firefox's engineering is inferior when compared to Chrome or Safari IMO. To deny this is perhaps illustrative of why Mozilla's browser is suffering. It crashes, it leaks, it sputters, it freezes. It's shameful and embarrassing.
Why Most Startups Fail and How To Avoid The Same Fate

http://www.brianhonigman.com/why-startups-fail/
It's sad that Ola, the big competitor in India, is also cutting drivers wages according to this article. It reminds me of how I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart back around 2009, even realizing at the time that Target, Kroger and other stores have often incorporated the same tactics that Wal-Mart has with their supply chains just to stay competitive.

I still try to use Lyft when I can/have to, but I realize they're wages can't be that much different to compete in this new market.

I'd like to see comparisons, not between Uber/Lyft/Ola, but instead between these services and normal taxi drivers (preferably before Uber came onto the scene, both original and inflation adjusted numbers). I knew Uber drivers back in 2013 who use to be cab drivers and said they made significantly more with Uber. Today there are few ride share drivers that started off in Taxis, and I wonder if those former Taxi/now Uber drivers are still being paid above their old Taxi wages.

Say what you want about the corrupt taxi systems in many cities with their medallion programs, made up scarcity and regulations that benefit monopolies, at least there was some attempt to give those drivers a living wage.

> ..$5 for a cup of coffee in a coffee shop. They are buying the experience more than the coffee.

Slightly OT but for me it's the reverse. If I go to a really good gourmet café then yes it may be expensive and yes, a component of the price is the experience (usually these cafés are nice places to hang out in) but most of it is the coffee itself. I cannot buy a coffee that good for less money in another place, hence I am willing to pay the price they are charging.
