> Especially if they've went to college

I've been noticing a fair amount of "have went" on Youtube lately. Would you say "have taken" or "have took"? What about "was taken" vs "was took"?
Knowing how small children these days already have phones, why don't they just call their parents and tell them they've been left in the car?

Jokes aside, I think the punishment should depend on if the parent had a history of neglecting their child, child abuse and other specifics.

Under any case, even if the parent was otherwise very loving and caring, at the very least they should do community service.

If they had a history of neglect, more serious punishments should be considered.
If you enjoy cooking, being constrained by time can somewhat frustrating (not just because of the actual process, the supply of fresh ingredients too). Cooking when tired and hungry is also less fun. So I can completely see how getting takeout makes sense on occasion, particularly during the week.

The way I understood it is that it's wrong for it to be considered a "sport" rather than a "meditation", that is, it should be less about competition and more about relaxation.
I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned, I've used it before with great results.

Theoretically yes.

Modern Shader cores are basically Turing Complete, so you should be able to emulate anything, including the Wii U's modern GPU. But it won't run fast enough to help, because you will have to spill some (or even a lot) of the shader's state to the host GPU's main memory.

Ubershaders work well for dolphin because the entire mutable state of the GameCube's pixelshaders fit into the available registers, with plenty of space left over.
I may be wrong, but wouldn't the full "suite" of privacy tools, like uBlock, Privacy Badger, etc actually speed up these connections based on this?

As a number, "6502" was never trademarkable, and what was left of the original manufacturer (MOS) was liquidated in 2001. So there's no trademark rights either.
I thought the barefoot/minimal part was not the focus of what we are doing wrong (I only run in Vibrams, it's plainly much better but you have to start incredibly slow and work up to it).

His point about what we're doing wrong was treating it as a speed based sport or a chore to do to be healthy, with a bunch of gadgets to mediate the experience, when it should be a relaxing, fun meditative practice where you disconnect from everyday stresses. I find that to be a very good point and I'm surprised people didn't find it clear. It explains the treadmill hate as well.

There is a lot going on here.

1. The part about the red-haired and green-haired people is more or less the Sleeping Beauty problem[1]. The LessWrong community (who are Bayesians) has concluded that this problem is under-specified and doesn't say what it's asking, and has two different valid answers.[2]

EDIT: Actually it's a bit different. I wouldn't assume the two problems should have the same answer.

2. The dice room / madman experiment is ill-defined. It only works if you have an infinite population to take people from (if there is a bound on the number of rounds you can do, the effect vanishes), and it implicitly assumes that every person is equally likely to be chosen. This is nonsense, because there is no uniform distribution on the natural numbers.

Taking a closer look, put the die results in a grid, where columns are the total length of the experiment, and there's one row for each round:

len=1 len=2 len=3
round 1 snake
round 2 normal snake
round 3 normal normal snake

Here are the probabilities of these results:

len=1 len=2 len=3
round 1 1/36
round 2 35/36 1/36
round 3 35/36 35/36 1/36

If you take the product of each row, that gives the probability that the experiment ends in that particular round. If you sum up these probabilities, you get 1, as you'd hope. (It converges slowly.)

Here are the number of people involved in each die roll, with a * if they are killed:

len=1 len=2 len=3
round 1 1*
round 2 100 100*
round 3 10000 10000 10000*

The reason this experiment is unintuitive is because you can calculate the probability that someone will die (i) by column, assuming that the length of the experiment is known, or (ii) by row, assuming that the round you were selected in is known, and these give different answers. (Try it.) This is because infinite sums are not commutative.

3. There's no trouble with the doomsday argument, because SIA is correct :-).

Another recently published running book is about "The Raven" a streak runner running 8 miles everyday for over 42 years. 125,000 miles; 5x around the earth; to the moon and back.

I'm lucky enough to live in Miami and run with him sometimes. When he started the streak he went barefoot and later began wearing shoes, if you can call them that, his favorite are NB with about 2,500 miles on them that seem to have more hole(s) than material left.

If you can, do a run with the Raven and get a nickname, if not please get his book:

I think it's hard to imagine in part because it involves such a radical shift in the center of gravity, bringing the body over the knee, so the foot can act as a springy lever, minimizing the impact of your heel on the ground.

It's also something I found >literally< impossible to do when I started, because in addition to the lack of knowledge, my tendons and muscles had never performed the motion before. So, please be careful anyone who tries to pick this up, and don't overdo it until you are limber and strong enough in the small stability muscles of your feet. But >do< pick it up. Such a more efficient, and less painful way to run.

My husband grew up in Pulaski, Virginia which out in the depths of nowhere to most people in Virginia, but got Comcast internet (poorly), Verizon (barely), and 251 acres of land for less than $200,000 dollars.

His family moved out there to satisfy his father's dream of being a gentleman farmer. He moved away after university because neither he nor his father are actually very good farmers.

I get a bit wistful about it, since it is beautiful countryside and I'd like to live there but the lack of amenities keep me away. Virginia as a whole has lots of empty land, so simply sitting 1.5 hours (during rush hour) outside of DC is enough plop one down in farmland.
Oh my god Infinite Jest reassured me I wasn't crazy for hating the self-loathing I associate with weed. And in such a funny way. I swear re-reading a chapter or scene in that book is like a real-life dream sequence; I can't help but dissociating. I still didn't understand so much of it after I "finished" it, but that didn't stop me from pulling the same shit I do--jumping over chapters until it's interesting--with his other work, "The Pale King". You will not be disappointed by the candidness and "raw"-ness of the pale king, either. I almost wanted to applaud some parts of it--a familiar reflex for you, too, I'm sure.
My favourite bits:

"Toward the end of his time as secretary of energy, Ernie Moniz suggested that the department, for the first time ever, conduct a serious study of the risks at Hanford. Once the risks were spelled out, perhaps everyone would agree that it was folly to try to turn it into, say, a playground. Maybe the U.S. government should just keep a giant fence around the place and call it a monument to mismanagement. Maybe the people at the labs could figure out how to keep the radioactivity from seeping into the Columbia River and leave it at that. Maybe it shouldn’t be the D.O.E.’s job to deal with the problem, as the problem had no good solution and the political costs of constant failure interfered with the D.O.E.’s ability to address problems it might actually solve.

It turned out no one wanted to make a serious study of the risks at Hanford. Not the contractors who stood to make lots of money from things chugging along as they have. Not the career people inside the D.O.E. who oversaw the project and who feared that an open acknowledgment of all the risks was an invitation to even more lawsuits. Not the citizens of Eastern Washington, who count on the $3 billion a year flowing into their region from the federal government. Only one stakeholder in the place wanted to know what was going on beneath its soil: the tribes. A radioactive ruin does not crumble without consequences, and yet, even now, no one can say what these are.

...

If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is a downside to knowledge. It makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview."
How did they take into account the age of kids? Couples over 45 probably had older and more independent kids, if that's worth anything.
exactly. since that outcome B (well actually the other parties returning the nukes), is batshit insane and completely crazy to even think about. that's why everyone assumed the other option was implied (the protection against the rogue Party).

option C, not doing anything, is equivalent to stealing.
I'll own having missed that as well, or at least overlooking it in my having read the "wrong" as being about the how, and not the why.

I think the gadgets and accessories can be helpful, but absolutely: they're not the point. They, and the speed-sport or health-chore nature he decries aren't relevant to why I run (ran), so I paid them less mind.

Thanks for the perspective!

That's not quite right. Arrays always have a knowable length, and sizeof will give a correct result for variable length arrays as well.

However, arrays that are passed as arguments to functions decay into raw pointers, at which point you lose information about its length.

Nah, on-screen keyboards suck, I'm happy with my non-mobile devices (when possible). Bluetooth is an expensive pain in the ass, though ;-)

I'm used to my desires not meshing well with the way that markets go (and I'll bet that other like-minded techies are too). Out of the specific things I mentioned with voice recognition, most of them will change with technological improvements and shifts in societal norms. Change is inevitable.

Honestly, I'll still find a way to do what I want, even if most other users are happy to have tech go in a different direction. I'm not deluded enough to think that what I want is what anyone else wants.

I kinda get the "evolution-barefoot" hypothesis.

That said, we weren't designed to run on concrete?

When I was younger, I ran toes-to heel, in the 80's. I just thought it made the most sense. I had an accident where I shaved all the skin off my Achilles' tendon. I also shaved off 1/4 of my Achilles' tendon. That ended my running style, along with 20 lbs of fat.

Now my sister was just running around a baseball diamond when her achilles tendon snapped. She told me she was mimicking my running style. She just heard a pop, and felt no pain until she got up.

My point is I don't know if they have definitively figured out the best running footware, or even technique. I will say this, gaining weight was the worst thing I ever did for my runnng. Just a few pounds, really ended my running.

(On a plus, when I walk now, I'm carrying around a sack of potatoes. I still get that running high. I do need to walk up hills though. )
I'm not sure that is true re: me not knowing about the picture, the cigarettes are hardly the main point of this picture, perhaps a minor bullet point at best.
Agreed.

Bit of a rant, but I came from South America to Canada 10 years ago, and was super impressed by how independent people my age were. They cooked for themselves, they moved around using public transit, they had part-time jobs, etc. People in my HS just lived luxurious lives while they prepared for luxurious jobs.

I couldn't wait to see Peru, where most wealthy families have one or multiple live-in servants, drivers, and maids, develop along those lines. I was hearing stories that the availability of good jobs meant that young "high society" families were finding it super hard to find people to clean their toilets and rear their children for them.

Little did I know that shortly thereafter the "sharing economy" would start to boom in North America, and wealthy white-collar workers everywhere would start to gush about cheap cabs, an ability to hire maids and people to do their laundry and cooks, people renting their houses out to them, etc.

It feels like a total regression to me. I once heard Silicon Valley described "an assisted-living community for people in their 20s funded by venture capital", and it felt quite apt. I hope the craze ends sooner rather than later.

I regret publishing some ideas I had as an open source project. Once it got other people's attention I had so much work trying to document, answer issues and maintain the project that in the end I got tired of it all and had to stop. I really loved the project, but open source is a lot of work, and most of it is not development, but choosing who to give attention, trust, etc, you must be prepared for that. If I kept it for myself I would probably still be working on it and would be using it in my work related projects.

I'm astonished to see many comments here on HN (albeit heavily downvoted) saying that if you're a "good parent" then it's easy—just don't forget your child in the car!

It's like saying that if you're a "good engineer" then it's easy not to drop your production database instead of the development one—just don't ssh to the wrong host!

I thought we were done with this way of thinking. Apparently not. Or maybe people think that there's this "parent magic" that kicks in and somehow makes you infallible whenever your kids are involved? This sounds so unbelievable I'm not even sure where to start.

My wife and I have a kid on the way and you can be sure we'll have at least a basic process in place to reduce the risk of this happening.
I was responding to your point that "by and large they survive". I agree they survive but how they turn out is related to how they are brought up and so I dont think that we should be setting the bar as low as "they survive".
Logical in a sense that it's a reasonable initial premise in the absence of other evidence. Not saying that it's true, but if you don't know if it's true or not, and you know that smoking other things does give you cancer, that's the side I'd err on.

> there is no reason why sex should be discussed in the office.

real life people work there and they might want to discuss it. that doesn't mean they can ignore the fact that they might be causing discomfort to others, and since it's a workspace where people go to work, other people's comfort in those cases trumps their desire to dicuss whatever.

> I can guarantee there are lines of sexual discussion that you might find disgusting that others might find acceptable.

yes, no surpirse there, but part of working with others involves being able to signal to them what's not okay to you, and it involves (on their part) the unquestioning acceptance.
I've read that most DuckDuckGo employees work remotely. Not to increase productivity, but because DuckDuckGo recruits members of the community and they tend to be from all around the world.

The people they recruit often can't move to near their offices right away or at all, so they simply work remotely.

> No it doesn't mean a business impact at all, unless it is proven by accounting.

You're not understanding me. I'm saying that if the work would have this good business impact with the original language, then doing the same thing with better productivity (with the same worker) is better.

I'm not saying that improved productivity is guaranteed to mean business impact. Just that it either makes a good thing better, or it takes a bad thing and doesn't make it worse. If someone is doing the wrong work, their rate of production is not to blame.

> Now how has the project money spent impacted the overall project costs, compared with the solution that everyone else is using, including the training costs for the rest of team, setting up a new build infrastructure, possible extra tooling support, salary rates for new hires?

Other than 'salary rate', all of that falls under productivity. If all those costs are going up enough to drop productivity, then the entire premise goes out the window! The premise was secretly using a different language to increase productivity. Secretly using a different language to decrease productivity is so obviously a bad idea that it's not worth discussing.
