I don't know, I mean surely there are some network effects of the more users that are using heroin the more that safe practices are developed, shared, and (socially) enforced. It'd be interesting to see if anyone has studied that. Granted, a counter-argument might be that even if it were safer from greater use it may just be that greater use nearly always leads to greater regulation.

Well they found plenty of issues. The code was unreadable. They didn't find anything that would cause unintended acceleration.
Every package dependency should be installed in /usr/lib by the admin or else vendored in our repo using its canonical import path. It's a mistake for "go get" not to do this by default, because the compiler shouldn't even be aware of the name of the repo we got the code from.

Sure but that alone doesn't mean it's any less suitable on Ubuntu. I'm just trying to understand what the differences are in implementation, reliability, etc.
This is cool and has some overlap with a project I'm working on. https://idyll-lang.github.io/

I don't think it's that easy. There's a time and currency cost to transferring coins between wallets so that's not a good idea.

Instead you'd need to keep large balances in multiple exchanges and then sell coins on the more expensive, buy on the cheaper, and then through the power of algebra, you may make a profit? maybe. Since the direction/stability of the market isn't known you don't know who's the dog and who's the tail. Does it matter? Yes. If the market is genuinely trending and you have the insights to exploit arbitrage, there's better strategies than arbitrage available to you.

But here's a different, more exploitable model. Pretend two exchanges had price X. And you know for a fact you can make one X-1 temporarily and you can make the other X+1 temporarily ... and then they will elastically close back to X in a predictable time Y.

So you "stretch" the exchanges, do the scheme described above, in volume, and all things being equal and nothing else dramatically affecting the market, they will eventually snap back like a rubberband. Since you aren't pushing everything the same direction, you probably won't trigger a trend.

Now you have USD in the +1 account and BTC in the -1 account so you stretch it the other way and repeat.

This is a much better strategy since you are essentially bending the delta back and forth and exploiting it each time.

Also this strategy, which I'll call twanging, is generally strongly knowable. A reliable, repeatable, predictable, strategy with a profit>0 is almost always worthwhile independent of the profit amount because the other factors, risk and predictability, have been reduced to effectively zero.

Also the time to twang is probably on the order of an hour.

So you permute around the markets all day long, picking new tuples in some shuffled sequence and you have a reliable profit machine at scale.

This is all theoretical of course - I'm not actually whaling around with $100mil USD in assets spoofing markets. Like most trading strategies, it's likely nonsense.
You and GP don't cite any commenter in particular, but none of the tweets mentioned in the article strike me as trying to force HR or blackmail anyone to do anything.

They seem to me like they're saying they don't want to work somewhere their teammates think they're biologically inferior, but they're hoping that HR will ensure that people who think so don't stay on the team.
It's a different topic, but related. I was marveling at the diversity of life on Earth, which led me wonder: to what extent does sustained life on Earth depend on that diversity? I.e., what would be required or different for a planet to host and sustain a single species of life?

Given the nature of evolution, and that one subscribes to it, life on Earth started with a single organism that replicated. From that point until a replication modified the organism into a different species, there would have been one species. But was it necessary to have multiple species in order to sustain life?

The article makes a lot of assumptions, I feel that it's intellectually lazy.

What if an employee is under the influence of marijuana? Well gosh, if your employee constantly comes to work drunk, you probably fire them. The article tries to point out that it's harder to test for cannabis intoxication than alcohol intoxication, but few businesses are going to administer a test anyways. They will just fire you if you are inebriated. So why would it be any different? The question is never posed.

And then, the assumption that randomly drug testing employees is somehow normal or OK pops up, with some hand waving about how some companies are shirking their presumed responsibility towards this. In a lot of countries, you're not even allowed to do employee drug testing unless the work is dangerous. I wonder how they are coping?

The article tries to paint a picture of some big complicated problem, but it smells like bullshit to me. HR departments already have ways of dealing with these problems, and the legalization of the substance has little to nothing to do with it.
I decided not to include editing or deleting to encourage users to think a little bit before sending a message.
Squishy Sentience
Does a group of people have an emergent consciousness in its own right that no one person can individually experience?

Perhaps certain parts of the brain too "think" they are conscious but can't individually experience the same consciousness we as people experience.

"Stoned people have a lower baseline stress level."

That really varies widely, depending on how much of which kind of cannabis you use, how you use it, and the individual that uses it.

It's possible to have a very stressful experience if one takes too much or uses cannabis that's too strong. Some people can have panic attacks, effectively "bad trips", or even psychotic breakdowns (if they're prone to schizophrenia.. and you might never really know if you are until you have one).

Many people do in fact get stress relief from using cannabis, but that effect is by no means guaranteed. You might wind up stressing out, and even freaking out, instead.

Hopefully, when people use cannabis at work, they'll be doing so in moderation, but that's not guaranteed either -- some people do all sorts of irresponsible or ill-advised things.

In regards to browser support, you are correct—however, changing preferences can be cumbersome.

If I say "There are clear differences between the performance of black and white people on various cognitive tasks." That's a true statement. If I follow it up with "and that's due to the biological inferiority of the black race", I'm probably a racist, even though my basic premise is not wrong.

The arguments one uses to support a conclusion are as important as the premises one started with.

Great comment. What you are describing is called a 'preference cascade'.

> In short, average people behave the way they think they ought to, even though that behavior might not reflect their own personal feelings. Given a sufficient "A-HA!" moment when they discover that their personal feelings are shared by a large portion of the population their behavior may change dramatically. An example of this is the British colonists before and after publication of Thomas Paine's Common Sense. A year before the Declaration of Independence, America was full of patriotic British convinced that things could be worked out with King George, but on July 4, 1776 the colonies were full of Americans determined that they needed independence. Another is the relatively recent "Arab Spring."

That was Ed Nelson, at Ford Scientific Research Labs. He did that work in the late 1970s and early 1980s, not the 1960s.

Pascal-F extended Pascal with fixed-point arithmetic, monitors, and interrupt handling.
The "pasv" repository contains the front end of the compiler, which generates byte code. The back end generated code for the Intel 8061, the Ford EEC IV engine control processor. The back end was proprietary to Ford. There was a summer hire trying to write an interpreter for the byte code for test purposes, but he didn't finish it.

I've been trying to revive "pasv", but I'm stuck on a bug in the rule handling in the Oppen-Nelson (Greg Nelson, not Ed Nelson) theorem prover. It's in Franz Lisp, and I'm trying to make it work in GNU Common LISP, which has slightly different semantics for some of the same constructs.
The system cannot be trusted to recognise a road sign that has been very specifically adjusted to fool it, just like a person running into the road at night dressed in black is hard to see.

My impression was that gtk has pretty reasonable tutorials, at least for those languages with official bindings.
Once you go through tutorial, you can examine gtk-widget-factory app and gtk-demo app for further ideas how to implement common stuff.
Or just take a peek at source code of an application that does something that you would like to replicate, even if it is written in a different language the knowledge is easily transferable.
Can we bring the lost art of calligraphy
Calligraphy Masters is the first online magazine in the world for Calligraphy, Hand Lettering and Sign Painting. The site contained lots of interesting articles, tutorials, interviews & helpful information about hand made letters.

The site crushed down around 6 months ago when the servers couldn't handle anymore the traffic of people visiting and I couldn't afford upgrading the servers any more. It's scheduled to be launched on my birthday, but if you people help it will be back even faster and you will be supporting the resurrection of the lost art of calligraphy

I have a few friends who work as project managers and engineers on railways (two for a metro system, one for the long-distance trains).

They're all subject to random drug tests, under the same policy as the train drivers. I think it's done to be fair to all staff, whether their current work is in a potentially dangerous position or not.
Thank you, I will. I also wonder, does your API take context into account? For instance, depending on WHO is talking, and WHAT they've recently talked about in the recording, one transcription may be preferable to another. People often recognize other people by the types of things they talk about, characteristic phrases, etc.
Its probably a mixture of these things:

1) The people who built the site initially are gone. Even the people who hired them to do it are likely gone now.

2) The person paid to "maintain" the site is just a technology "manager" who doesn't really know all that much about how it works.

3) There is nobody at the company who can tell if the "audits" they are paying for are snake-oil or not, but they're expensive so they must be good.

4) Even if the threat is real, they don't even know where to start in assessing it so they just fall back on their expensive "audit".

This leaves them unable to tell well intention-ed do-gooders from Nigerian princes so their initial response of just blocking them might not be that far fetched. It does start to look increasingly bad when it becomes clear that there is a real problem at hand. The quality of management can be measured by how quickly they identify the blind spot.

Yes. Evolution is actually its own evidence. Biological evolution evolved out of necessity. Without constantly changing evolutionary pressures exerted by an organism's external environment there would be no need for evolution and it therefore wouldn't have evolved.

> Behavior can be influenced by others, but will isn't superceded by a crowd.

It often is by governments though. Also judging by polling on small sample sets, which often match whole population elections they do coherently aggregate; and then those governments make laws which incarcerate or penalize going against them.

Also isn't that the nature of science to provide coherent aggregation of knowledge that is agreed upon (though testable hypothesizes). Which is generally different from government policy, which usually doesn't use evidence based decision making in the scientific sense.

yep - have been using Vuforia since it came out. Fantastic for scanning in models and the usability is great. That said, I keep coming back to the fact that the install base of iOS11 is what intrigues me the most. By no means is ARkit the magic bullet, but its enough and it can tempt developers the same.

I take your point, but if we are going to measure how likely it is for an activity to lead to death then total deaths and total participants (or 'participant-time') are what we will look at.

Most people would agree that driving has become a safer activity if you could show them that the number of injuries or fatalities per driver or distance travelled has been falling. The same is true for cycling.
Consider that trains cannot stop quickly or turn and safety consists almost entirely of making sure people get out of the way. And yet, lots of people (even kids) would walk along tracks, etc. And yet there are still urban areas with active train tracks running along surface streets, for example near Jack London Square in Oakland.

Before cars, people routinely walked in the middle of streets. "Jaywalking" wasn't a concept. It was entirely up to early cars to stop in time, and they didn't have good brakes. Fortunately they weren't very fast.

Also, early pilots, besides the obvious risks, were sometimes daredevils who would do things like buzz houses.

I think the main point here is that society's attitude towards risk has changed; we take small risks much more seriously than they used to when earlier forms of transportation were introduced. Accidents involving driverless cars make the national news and manufacturers are being very cautious. With earlier attitudes towards risk, I expect they'd be in widespread use by now.
