Watch what they do to the boy scouts.
You are making a lot of assumptions about people in that situation. There are plenty of addicts who developed an addiction to opioids without ever taking an illegal substance. Maybe they are prescribed a pain killer after getting into a car accident and that eventually leads to oxycontin which leads to a heroine. Or maybe they experience some traumatic incident that leaves them with PTSD which interferes with their daily life and leads to drug use. No one can guarantee that neither of those situations will ever happen to them.
When I test-drove the Model S, the screen felt like I had to use a 3 year old Android tablet to do things like volume change or AC. I didn't like it. It felt slow to me. I don't mind the non-tactile-ness of it, it just felt old and slow. Definitely not what I was expecting.
Any blanket statement such as this is very off putting. Almost click baity. At some level almost everything sucks.
Your first point is misleading. As birthrates fluctuate (ex: "the baby boom" was a high point), so do the number of people who can potentially be starting college in a given year (at the traditional age).

The next few years of Americans to turn 18 are smaller than the year before them. If the likelihood of Americans to go to college remains similar, domestic student populations will decline for reasons of demography, not malaise.
The science is not on your side for this view. I suggest you read up to get a more informed view, Dr. Russell Barkley is a great resource, has videos all over youtube.

In the meantime, here's a quote from "International Consensus Statement on ADHD" (Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review, Vol. 5, No. 2, June 2002)

> We cannot overemphasize the point that, as a
matter of science, the notion that ADHD does not
exist is simply wrong. All of the major medical as-
sociations and government health agencies recognize
ADHD as a genuine disorder because the scientific
evidence indicating it is so overwhelming.

> Emerging industries can't work like this - someone has to do the work before the universities catch up

Creating something new and teaching people the current state of the art are two separate things. And universities do both of them.

The things invented in Bell Labs in the 1950s are taught in universities today, but the researchers at Bell Labs had college degrees. It's a feedback loop.

> so how do we quantify e.g. how desperate we truly are for programmers?

Median salary is a very strong quantification, especially accounting for sub-specialization. It's possible we need more DBAs but not more web designers.

> I'm sure there's a middle ground between "the risk of training this person and them leaving is small enough compared to the potential return they'd give us since the field is so ripe" and "nah, we're totally good," but how do we find out where in that space we are?

They just don't benefit from it at all.

Suppose you pay $150,000 to train someone with the expectation that you'll pay them $50,000/year for five years and the training will allow them to do the work of an $80,000/year employee, so you'll break even (ignoring time value of money). Except that once they can do the work of an $80,000/year employee, they can immediately quit and get a job paying $80,000/year and you can't retain them by paying $50,000/year.

The alternative is to loan them the money, so if they leave they still have to pay you back for the training. But now you've just reinvented universities and student loans and companies don't get anything out of doing it in house that they wouldn't from hiring graduates from normal schools who borrow money from normal banks.

Companies know that they aren't any better at being a university than a university is and they aren't any better at being a bank than a bank is, so they don't try to be.
This is awesome :) I've been using the em-dash a lot recently, but didn't even know it had a name. It often seems more natural than using semicolons— semicolons often feel more formal and cold.
For dialog, as used by James Joyce, or in typesetting other languages such as Spanish, French and Polish, the em dash (U+2014) is not used, but the quotation dash is (U+2015). The quotation dash is a bit longer. See, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Quotation_dash.

Well said, perl might be the theoretically best match in specifically this problem domain but the thing is there are only so many programming languages one can learn.

If i had to choose only one of ruby/python or perl i would choose the former and it would be able to cover my base both as glue-code and for more programs. Perl would maybe make the glue code a bit easier but instead i would be much less employable and have a much harder time finding other people who can read the glue. I'm not qualified to have an opinion on perls capabilities for other programs but i'm sure there are valid reasons most people prefer other alternatives.

Did you read the article? Or are you adressing a comment I missed?

The article is a letter to an advice columnist wherein a person describes herself as lazy, and the columnist literally says: "Doing the bare minimum at the last minute isn’t lazy. It’s simply a choice, devoid of moral weight. It’s a strategy that’s mostly worked for you, up until this point."

So I'm finding it hard to understand:

> You aren't qualified to condemn every "lazy" person on the planet.

It is. Sure there is a spectrum, like autism is a spectrum, but if you're insinuating that ADHD isn't real you're wrong. The medical field has a pretty good consensus about this one.

> Modern psychiatry has infinitely better cognitive tricks than the moralizing platitudes in motivational essays. If you're really lucky, your physician will guess two-thirds of your symptoms before you describe them, diagnose you with a particular neurochemical deficiency, and prescribe you a medication that, in the space of a week, does more to help you with your problems than you'd managed in your entire life to date.

this is highly contentious
That's just normal, not ADHD (which is way too overdiagnosed at this point and would fit 90% of people I meet).

People are lazy, but they also do not want to completely ruin their life, so they will wait until they realize they cant wait anymore, doing the minimum amount at the last minute to meet the goal.
It's actually the wrong way. Have you picked up a book lately? Apparently not.

> As new nightlies and betas are published, we use the cargobomb tool to test this corpus of Rust code (as of 2017/07/10 over 13,000 crates) against both the stable release and a nightly or beta release, comparing the results for regressions.
There is no USA (only Zuul). The USA is a country of states each with various characters, economic sizes and problems (Miami and Minneapolis are vastly different environments).

No one holds Germany responsible for EU partner Croatia's outcomes, yet USA wide outcomes are - despite massive local variations. In a lot of areas of US policy (excluding defence) local budgets will dictate results much more than federal ones.

That's the real challenge for the USA, how to cope with inequality that is as much a factor of geography as politics.

Actually this Tesla 3 review article, is pretty well written and seems more objective than most other. It lists a lot of pros and cons.

Have you even read it??

Apparently paid corporate drones and stock holders heavily comment & moderate here.

Is listing a fair articulated con not compatible with your world view? The Tesla S features the manual knobs of the a Mercedes S class, the reviewer mentioned as con that the Tesla 3 has an inferior knob to control the lane-assistant/autopilot and a less ideal (bad UI) smaller touch screen.

Shame on you "commenters" here, so disgusting!

In my opinion, laziness is not a character flaw, it's rather a fundamental characteristic of any living being. Therefore saying that you're lazy is tautological, obviously true therefore not worth pointing out, and not a reasoning for a perceived difference between you and others, because they're all lazy in their heart, too.
This is why I develop on Sourcetree for Github/Travis/Heroku inside a Dropbox folder. It gives another layer of flexibility and redundancy. If Dropbox fails, all I lose is filesystem sync - and one type of restoration - for a short while. (Bluntly, Github and Dropbox provide very similar services for synchronizing code between computers.)

Having a redundant array of independent cloud providers seems the ideal state. This is the most effective way to provide a single source of truth without it becoming a single point of failure.

what's interesting to me about this paper is how many different things they had to worry about. Disable scheduling, pin to a single core, page coloring, no huge pages, disable hyperthreading, disabling frequency scaling, and lastly the lazy cleanup (I think that's all?). it's a pretty long list of kernel modifications and configuration, and I doubt these will ever be defaults.

I always preferred Mint for desktop Linux. I knew they had a poor security record due to their HTTP downloads at one time, but no kernel security updates is news to me.

Yes on the former (works just like you'd expect); to make a decorator take parameters, to do something like:

@decorator_with_params("Some string")
def my_function():
pass

you have to make 'decorator_with_params' a function that returns a decorator; i.e.

def decorator_with_params(param):
def real_decorator(function):
def inner(*args, **kwargs):
print(param)
function(*args, **kwargs)
return inner
return real_decorator

(You can also do something similar with callable objects, but that's ickier IMO.)

I really want to disagree and write a scathing rebuke, but I'm afraid you're right on the money.

Still it seems that we haven't beaten it into nearly enough peoples' heads that we all live on the same planet, that resources are finite, and that those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. What, if not education – of the liberal arts kind – to fix that, and quick?
In fact, in this case, it's more probably immune because it's less mature. Only with advanced prefetching and speculative execution do you hit the Spectre of data that could have been.

On the legal front I'm less concerned about punishment than I am about convenience. I don't really care to get into growing mushrooms just to have one dose every year or two, just wish I could easily purchase them ready to go.

I actually don't know if psilocybin works better. I was unclear when I said it was the only effective treatment, I just meant psychedelics in general. I actually prefer LSD, but at the time I could only get mushrooms.

There are many transpiled languages working on-top of js. As many things in JS world, they tend to end up as an abandonware.

This all make long-term mainainability of large JS + "featurelang" projects hard.

The liveliest JS add-on lang today is typescript, but even it gets seen less and less, despite Microsoft's backing.

It had initial burst of interest, but seem to be waning now.

My insistence on no featurelangs in my projects has paid off massively whenever I took post-delivery maintenance and support contracts.
Actually it's easy. Just take maternal deaths. The US is pretty straightforward in maternal deaths and baby deaths.

If an infant is born alive, and dies, it is an infant death in the US. Even if it is completely nonviable (e.g. no heart). In the Netherlands any baby that dies in < 2 weeks after birth is not an infant death. If a child dies < 5 years it is not counted in life expectancy calculations. I'm not sure what the situation in the US is. But frankly, any time a number sounds extreme (and this one does) your first thought should frankly be "how have governments faked this number". Just like for private companies, if a number sounds too good to be true, it almost always is.

So the numbers aren't as comparable as people claim. There is obviously a difference, but it's not as dramatic as advertised.

You can do it. Unless you have an editor, nobody is going to stop you. It just looks awkward and pretentious to anyone with knowledge of typographic conventions (as in pretending hard to be fancy while revealing your ignorance of standard practice.) It’s like using obscure words in an ungrammatical or unidiomatic way; again nobody but your editor is going to stop you, but anyone who knows the way those words are typically used will find it awkward.

And don't forget, faking the numbers to hide hundreds of millions people forced to live in misery, prevented from leaving (almost to the point of slavery). Then have government publish numbers that give these people comparable outcomes to American medical outcomes and expect people to believe them.

But let's be sane here : the situation in China is far, far worse than in the US. Just talk to a few recent immigrants, it's not like they're hard to find. A few of their stories should cure you of the notion that US health care, even for the poorest of the poor, is bad. But the numbers tell a different story.

But no worries, if a country has a oppressed population, it can rapidly end the use of plastic grocery bags, and therefore progressive get enamored with it.

And faking it ... well we accidentally got shown what US politicians meant by recycling, didn't we ?
For a rotation angle of x° the probability of failure for each check+rotate when a bomb is present is sin(x°)^2. It takes 90°/x° repetitions of a rotation by x° to get a useful effect in the safe case.

So the overall failure rate is 1-(1 - sin(x°)^2)^(90°/x°) or equivalently 1-cos(x°)^(180°/x°).

Compute the limit as x goes to 0 and you'll find the limit equals 1. Making x smaller increases the chance of success arbitrarily close to unity.
