> Which newspaper can I subscribe to instead that actually is consistently accurate?

I understand you aren't actually asking this question, so this response isn't directed at you personally:

I often wonder why it rarely occurs to people that they can subscribe or consume multiple sources of information in order to arrive at a more accurate conclusion?

I also wonder if it has anything to do with poor research skills learned in high school (or maybe even college/university), in which when doing a research paper or other similar work, they only look up the subject(s) in an encyclopedia, use that as their bibliographic source, and never go any further with deeper research using other means...?

Likely, it's just laziness and apathy.

> We'll be deciding that for future generations.

I think this is only true for genetic modifications to germ cells or embryos, which is why the recent embryonic gene editing story [1] is so controversial.

As far as I know, gene editing in somatic cells only affects the individual and not their offspring, unless that change somehow propagated itself to the genetic material in the gametes.

Ask HN: Which programming languages do not have corporate branding?
I am interested in getting a list of languages that do not belong to a major corp, like Google Dart and Mozilla's Rust.

C originated from Bell Labs, Javascript originated from Netscape, both are now free in a sense.

Python belongs to the Python Software Foundation. Dlang belongs to the Dlang foundation.

Kotlin belongs to Jetbrains. Hacklang to Facebook, Go to Google.

So, today, which programming languages can you use and not be affiliated with the Big 4 (FB, GOOG, APPL, MSOFT) or other smaller companies?

*edit: Rust apparently has minimal or small affiliation with Mozilla. my mistake.
You should know that "what students like" and "what constitutes effective instruction" can be very different.

https://fnoschese.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/khan-academy-and-...

The simplest description is this: Consider two videos. One is a clear lecture (eg Khan Academy style), while the other is a dialogue between a character who espouses the common misperception, and a teacher who illustrates their mistakes. After watching the videos, you have students evaluate how well they think they know the material, how they feel about the video, and then you test them on how well they learned the concept covered by the video.

The lecture video had the following results:
- Highly rated video clarity
- Increased confidence in knowledge
- zero change in knowledge (tested)

That is to say, students liked the video and thought they learned something, but didn't actually learn anything.

The dialogue video, on the other hand, was almost the opposite:
- video was considered confusing (not at all clear)
- decreased confidence in knowledge
- large positive change in knowledge (tested)

Students, it would seem, don't know enough to be able to evaluate what is good instruction. (cf Dunning & Kruger)

That's a valid complaint, in that the body generally experiences a somewhat rapid slowdown in metabolism around the age of 25-26, but after that it appears to be a relatively slow decline and is definitely no excuse to let yourself go.

To give you another data point, I've started a similar exercise routine around 27 and have kept it up until ~29, and while it has gotten harder to maintain the same weights, I still feel great.

Certainly better than my younger self that did no exercise at all and led a completely sedentary lifestyle.

It follows the tree quote: the best time to start exercising was "x" years ago, the 2nd best time is now.
Actually I don't follow any of these tools closely to know whether they're currently "leading" or not.

It's just that, wording-wise "the leading open source X" exudes marketing-speak, which I find language geeks tend to have robust antibodies against.

This kind of lingo work (sort of) for the market, say, MongoDB is in. But for the users of these tools, I suspect not so much.
I'm a little more hopeful that regard, perhaps misguided. Shkreli is a commonly known name because of his persona and the way the media latched on to it. It was a perfect story. Bad guy, doing bad things to sick people. Hell I even know how to spell his name and he has been in the news for quite a while.

Questcor on the other hand, I've never heard of. Not a very juicy story, and any juiciness is the result of Shkreli. Will it make a difference? There is a lot of money preventing it from making a difference, but it's about to become a political career killer to allow this to go on I believe. At the very least, it's in the public discourse.

Comparatively, Snowden's revelations hasn't really changed squat either. Maybe I shouldn't be so optimistic.

Did the sun get in someone's eyes?
I enjoyed your comment. To respond to a couple points:

> MCATs are taken before medical school

Sorry, that was just a brain malfunction on my part. I meant to write "USMLEs" (residency admission exam for match process). Corrected my comment to state that.

> "but if students do better after the adoption of this new system, aren't they learning better?"

They are not doing better under the system. They are doing the same, or marginally worse. But I believe the students are more stressed, and getting less value per student debt dollar, due to the "active learning" trend. They are also less prepared for the USMLE and less prepared for residency than they would otherwise be. But they are substituting personal effort for their loss of solid foundational instruction.

A really good study would give students half their topics in lecture style and half in active learning style, and measure time spent and topic on "supplemental" learning outside of class.
Wow...you're right. Thanks for pointing it out out!
> They're used so consumers don't take apart their iPhones. I thought that was pretty obvious.

What is this in response to? That's exactly what we're talking about - the use of proprietary screws to try and prevent users from opening up their devices. Nobody is debating what the choice of screwhead is for.

>Using custom screws is a fairly minor roadblock all things considered. It won't stop anyone who knows what they're doing, but it will prevent the average customer from trying to muck with their device and breaking it.

And yet you also state that the screw is not a real barrier. If someone is determined enough to replace their battery that they're willing to open up their phone to do it, what about the act of buying a special screwdriver online to do it is suddenly too much? It seems to me that the screws don't really help to protect against customers at all.

> Apple devices are not designed with end-user repair in mind

Which is the original point of contention - by designing devices which are not intended to be repaired at home, Apple takes away from the rights of its customers, with the added benefit of lining its own pockets with repair fees and replacements. The excuse of "making your device harder to repair" shouldn't be "we don't want you to repair it", if you're trying to defend on principle the idea that Apple isn't deliberately trying to hamper home repair.

If they are, then there's no point continuing the original discussion - Apple's difficulty of repair doesn't come from its great design, but because they are made to be unrepairable, and Apple is guilty of all the shameful practises they're being accused of in the first place.

Note the bit of GGP I quoted was around the the insulin hypothesis. That supposed connection between insulin from high GI foods causing weight gain (or reducing weight loss), that is what the studies referenced in the article disprove.

"According to the insulin-carbohydrate model, we should have seen an acceleration in the rate of body fat loss when we cut insulin by 50 percent," Hall said. But they didn’t, which he thinks suggests that the regulation of fat tissue storage in the body has to do with more than just insulin levels and their relationship with the carbs we eat.

The new results also echo a previous study of the insulin-carbohydrate model, where Hall found that people who cut fat in their diets have equal or greater body fat loss than those who cut carbs. (Here’s Hall’s new review of the literature on the carb-insulin model of obesity.)

"These studies represent the first rigorous scientific tests of the carb-insulin model in humans," Hall added. "The public needs to understand that this [insulin-carbohydrate] model now has pretty strong evidence against it."
There are a lot of reasons, honestly, and it's great beer conversation, but from a high level: producing a concrete instance that invokes a constructor function with a shiny pristine 'this' to build on is a pretty great pattern. Add the ability to muck about with clever prototype manipulation, and you have pretty enormous power - you can do everything that classic OOP can do (if that's your thing) and a lot more.

Something like 40% of federal appellate work is responding to (often meritless, often incomprehensible) pro se habeas petitions[0].

I hope not, but we should balance this issue and be cautious about chilling less fortunate peoples' access to these basic civil mechanisms.

> When fraud happens those affected don't usually get their money back much less a return on that money.

He defrauded and stole money from the investors in the pharma company to repay the people he defrauded and stole money from in the hedge funds. The one set of victims getting a return only happened by stealing returns belonging to the other set of victims.

> However, it's pretty clear what he did is also fraud (false documents, not returning people's money when they asked for it) even if the fact that investors came out better makes the plaintiffs less sympathetic.

Criminal cases have separate prosecution and victims, but not plaintiffs. It's the victims (well, one of two sets of them) that are potentially less sympathetic for the reason you describe.

Without the right tools, multi language debugging is a nightmare.

A mixed C/C++ callstack is so benign and common that it likely won't even register as being a "multi language" debugging experience. You get a single unified stack display, breakpoints, the works. There's a caveat or two around exceptions - that's about it. Everything just works.

C#/C++ isn't quite as solid, but it's still ahead of Python/C++ IME. Namely, Visual Studio will again show you a single unified callstack. There are more warts - again involving exceptions, as well as crash dumps and after the fact debugging. I've occasionally needed to break out WinDbg to deal with this.

Python/C++ is a bit harder. If you don't have a debug engine that can unify callstacks, however, there's still stuff you can do - dumping out both C++ and Python callstacks (and possibly locals) programmatically on assertions and in crash handlers, for example. I've done this for Java/C++, ActionScript/C++, Squirrel/C++, and probably more that I've forgotten.

"Own scripting language"/C++ is harder still: you must build your own everything. Debug engines are big projects - I haven't even completed my standalone one for brainfuck. If you dump your callstacks, you not only have to use the APIs that let you do so, but write them in the first place.
