> There was a story on HN with people trying to microdose on LSD, and the alleged benefits - long story short, when they asked peers about their performance, they noticed they're more distracted and not more productive, while those doing the microdosing thought they're on a super productive trip.

This aligns with my experience. Microdosing is good when you have physical tasks to do (i.e. running around town all day, reorganizing / cleaning your house), but focusing on creative tasks is harder.

Tbh, the only thing I'd recommend it for is for people struggling with chronic depression or anxiety - for these two, it can be a life-changingly effective "aspirin" (i.e. not a cure, you still need to fix the underlying causes) without the significant side-effects of traditional medication, and any lack of focus is massively offset by relieving the brain fog of depression/anxiety.
There's been a C dart FFI for years. Communicating with whichever other system shouldn't be any harder than the next language. None of those would be my first choice though. The less platform specific code you write, the fewer platform specific issues you'll be dealing with. Plus xamarin isn't native anywhere.

With Flutter apps using the AOT, performance should already be good. Here's an interesting real world comparison between libsass (a C library) and dartsass.

From the Flutter FAQ

https://flutter.io/faq/#

> How does Flutter run my code on Android?

> The engine’s C/C++ code is compiled with Android’s NDK, and any Dart code is AOT-compiled into native code. The app runs using the native instruction set (no interpreter is involved).

> How does Flutter run my code on iOS?

> The engine’s C/C++ code is compiled with LLVM, and any Dart code is AOT-compiled into native code. The app runs using the native instruction set (no interpreter is involved).

> Can I access platform services and APIs like sensors and local storage?

> Yes. Flutter gives developers out-of-the-box access to some platform-specific services and APIs from the operating system. However, we want to avoid the “lowest common denominator” problem with most cross-platform APIs, so we do not intend to build cross-platform APIs for all native services and APIs.

> A number of platform services and APIs have ready-made packages available in the Pub repository. Using an existing package is easy.

> Finally, we encourage developers to use Flutter’s asynchronous message passing system to create your own integrations with platform and third-party APIs. Developers can expose as much or as little of the platform APIs as they need, and build layers of abstractions that are a best fit for their project.
As the most popular comment here said when Dropbox was announced, "1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software."

Personally, I'm using seafile on a server, it's cheaper than iCloud or Dropbox, with more storage, and more custom functionality. Many NAS nowadays support Nextcloud out of the box.
Maybe. It just seemed to me as a child that I would rather often do things that other kids wouldn't think to do in the first place, and then get mildly made fun of for it.
While that was a wildly off topic flamebait troll, if you boil down the facts of that post I agree. Of the emails I did read, there was some scandolous stuff. She did (or someone did) delete the emails. She also used a non-secure & unsupported device. I don't know about the trolls claim about several or more "lost" devices.

So while it was off topic and pbvious trolling, Hillary was (in my eyes) doing some nefarious shit.

Although you can convert a PDF to Word and back in a few clicks, the layout won't match perfectly (depending on how the PDF was generated). If you're trying to forge a PDF document, you want it to look exactly the same as the original, which probably requires some fiddling with formatting. So it's not unreasonable to delegate that to a trusted henchman.

I've not yet had a chance to look over the code (in case it's already there or infeasible due to architecture), but you may wish to consider caching prior queries and their results - this seems like the type of service that would be likely to have certain paths shared widely, such as the first few top-level comments on this post.
I also found this very weird.

Correct me if i'm wrong but while this blog seems creditable and by a good author it isn't "huge" in any sense which makes it even more confusing that someone shows up that fast to comment on topics relating to Manafort and Gates.

Comment is deleted now sadly but it basically stated that "the US needs to investigate HILLARIOUS CLINTON" etc etc, completely unrelated to the content of the article.
I concur. Main issue I have faced is people down voting questions even when the question is perfectly valid and reasonably well explained(imo). It sometimes looks to me that when a question is about 'under the cover' stuff and not superficial 'how do i get this done/i did this but got this output', it would be down voted.
You are of course correct. Unfortunately, the OPs suggestion that 'big data' is changing science has become the common belief in many fields, particularly the most prestigious. Several groups now operate under the protocol: collect big datasets first; spin a scientific story second. These fields often focus on and reward ever increasingly fancy (and expensive) methods to collect more data at 'better' resolution, with respect to some metric.

The hypothesis is often a forgotten tool.

Climate change can't be fixed by small changes on an individual level. It requires sweeping regulations from nation states and in particular, the military (which accounts for huge quantities of carbon emissions).
I suspect the exact speedup depends a lot on the workload, but the last time I supported scientists on HPC, they reported pretty substantial performance gains with ifort over gfortran as well. But then Intel has deeper pockets to pay for this kind of thing than the FSF.

I think I also recall something about gfortran deliberately choosing some more conservative optimization strategies, which could also explain some differences. Or I could be misremembering absolutely everything :-)

I've been running into a similar conundrum lately with learning an instrument. You kind of need the instrument and associated equipment. Same goes for athletic equipment and sports. I think it's necessary to make the compromise for things that do enrich your life even if they make moving difficult or your footprint greater than desired.

Some interests such as learning a new language require remarkably little things. A few apps, netflix, some books (could be electronic) and people to converse with.
To some extend. Neurotypical people do this without effort or thinking, it happens "automaticaly". You might even be unaware of the process, you just sorta kinda feel weird or bad after doing whatever caused negative reaction previously. Autistic have to think about situation and memorize it the same way as normal people memorize writers and their books for school.

Awesome! Looking forward to see what you come up with - I like this idea of "yoga pants inspired clothing for men".

The idea of 5-minute deep stretch breaks (that is, going to do some serious stretching without needing to change pants) is very exciting :)
This is like a common core math problem. Poorly worded to the point of obscuring any real math talent that could be applied in finding a “correct” result, and instead we get to debate what the question means.

A more interesting question, I think, is given a POW algorithm which adjusts difficultly to target a 10 minute block rate, and assuming network hash rate is constant and propagation is instant, what percentage of blocks take 20 minutes to solve? 60 minutes? And what’s the odds of solving two blocks in <= 60 seconds?

Yes, but this is very much out of fashion at the moment (just as NNs were out of fashion for about three decades). Look at the work of Gary Marcus at NYU or Michael Whitbrock at IBM.

(We are also, and think we're farther along than anyone else but aren't talking about it publicly yet so no need to believe me. There are a few others in a similar state)
My attempt at temporal anti-aliasing:

1) Add the editor tab for "Buffer A"; move all code with the getColor modification above to this editor; use the following mainImage method:

#define SCALE_FACTOR 1.0
#define BLUR_FACTOR 0.95

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord ) {
float sum = floor(fragCoord.x / SCALE_FACTOR) + floor(fragCoord.y / SCALE_FACTOR);
bool evenSum = mod(sum, 2.0) < 0.0001;
bool evenFrame = (iFrame % 2) == 0;

vec2 texCoord = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
vec3 texColor = texture(iChannel0, texCoord).rgb;

if (evenSum == evenFrame) {
fragColor = vec4(mix(texColor, getColor(fragCoord), BLUR_FACTOR), 1.0);
} else {
fragColor = vec4(texColor * BLUR_FACTOR, 1.0);
}
}

2) The "Image" tab should only render the contents of iChannel0 on the display:

void mainImage( out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord )
{
vec2 texCoord = fragCoord.xy / iResolution.xy;
fragColor = texture(iChannel0, texCoord);
}

3) Assign Buffer A as the input/output for iChannel0.

This should do the ray-casting part at effectively half resolution in an alternating checkerboard pattern, blending the previous contents of the buffer with the current output.
How much of developers do not know what a state machine is?
I have no idea why they did it, but I have argued for quite some time that const has very little practical value, because its effect is always lexical and local.

To demonstrate that this is so, I suggest that we can write a processor that converts all lets to consts where possible. I also demonstrate that this is so by asking, "What bug will const catch that our tests will not catch?"

_Immutable Data_, on the other hand, is marvellous. Immutability has nonlocal effects, and it is not something that can be trivially verified.
Yep, totally. I usually use the wording "I'm not sure", or, better, "I can't be sure", since "I don't know" is often not entirely truthful.
> I'm astonished at how much fishing is going on around Europe.

Why would that surprise you? Europe has a long tradition of fishing. And europe's population is 800 million strong. They even had a brief "war" in the north atlantic over fish.

http://britishseafishing.co.uk/the-cod-wars/

Japan and China are targeted in many fearmongering articles about fishing/whaling/etc because stories about them get traction/reaction. Maybe because of ethnic/racial tension. Who knows.

Try "Japan is killing whales" vs "Norway/Iceland is killing whales".

or

"China is overfishing" vs "Europe is overfishing".

The former gets the most reaction/clicks even though the latter outwhales and outfishes the former.

The biggest culprit is europe, then us, and then the japanese and then the chinese. It's primarily the europeans and us that are destroying fisheries. Not only that, europe's fishing reach is global due to their colonial heritage.

There is a very strong fishing tradition in europe. Nearly wiped out the whales in the 1800s. Wiped out the fish/tuna/etc in the mediterranean and the north atlantic. Then moved over to the US and wiped out our fisheries along our atlantic and alaska. And the regions destroying fisheries along africa are not the chinese, as you see on the news, but it's the europeans by a long shot.

One very simple thing they could do that might be helpful is provide an easy to understand guidebook for understanding the quality of various healthcare providers. Sort of a Michelin guidebook for healthcare

Currently, patients don't have the resources or information to assess the quality of their providers. Hospitals with fancy marble lobbies are more likely to be rated as high quality than hospitals with better quality scores but dingier interiors. People think that if care costs more, it must be better

Insurance companies have tried to build narrow networks that exclude high cost hospitals that nonetheless are publicly perceived as high quality, but public backlash, however misinformed, can quash these efforts. One example is UCLA vs BSCA a few years ago
Yeah. I have had fallen arches as a kid too, and had issues exacerbated by a bad sprain.

I looked up Youtube videos on how to do it. There is something involving a pencil and a penny to know where to "push" down to the floor without collapsing the arches. Then it is a matter of practicing walking and moving with those feelings until it can be done without thinking. I chose to practice this during martial art practice, hiking, and day-to-day walking.
these options seem like practical alternatives to attending grad school. What are some reasons one would be opposed to this?

The only downside seems to be that they are difficult to get into.

it seems these are common attitudes:

> [heroin's] effects are fundamentally incompatible with the "head space" geeks need to be in 24x7 to be even remotely capable of doing the work they do.

> It's difficult for me to imagine downers or opiates being at all compatible with technical work

> Meth, crack and heroin are hugely frowned upon, it's a failure to be a user of these

it depends. as a heroin addict, I need the heroin (well, methadone now, as well) to be physically and mentally well enough to work. without them, i'd be a wreck. now, if i took a large shot of heroin, i'd nod out and couldn't work, but i have had a morning injection every day for years to get going. of course, i do feel like heroin has made me slightly less intelligent, i guess the equivalent of ~10+ iq points lost, maybe. but i can certainly produce good quality technical work, and have been recognised for this by peers, so it's possible, just not advisable ;) and of course, i'm selling myself short, since i'm probably capable of much more or better, at least i hope i will be once i am properly clean - maybe this year will be the one?

interestingly, i've not met any other heroin using it professionals in real life, but probably for the obvious reason they don't want to make it known. i could probably tell if i checked, e.g. pinned, tiny pupils, that sort of thing, but i'm just not looking for it in the work environment. a consequence of trying to blend in is that it imposes a high cognitive load that takes away from other thinking i might be doing - i generally have to lie about non-work activities or be vague and non-committal, and so on.

I've took everything under the sun... Now I don't touch anything but cannabis due to experiencing mental health issues myself and seeing a lot of my peers, who also took drugs, have similar issues. I've had more than a few peers who were upstanding, intelligent and well presented members of society, end up in a mental hospital for the rest of their lives or in a grave.

You can't place every drug in the same category, no, but excessive use of anything leads to negative consequences, especially for males under 25 who haven't fully matured.

I'd say in the UK, in those professions, most people are middle class and have not seen the damage that various drugs and alcohol can do. Most people in these professions can afford the habit and it does not affect their lives.

From growing up in a poor area I have seen the damage that drugs can do, but even then it was never something that never really entered my mind when deciding what drugs to take or how excessively I was going to take them until I had a scare myself and lost close friends.

I still have a weed habit though, consumption has increased along with my wage, but I haven't touched anything else for years and have no intention of doing so. Before I used to really want to take hard drugs, now I really don't.
> I had a professor some years ago who summed up Atlanta perfectly for me - "[...] it's the biggest small town in America".

Also, for people I have a ton of oddball connections with, "Dallas is the world's biggest small town, and it's all [name]'s fault".
I found a googleable meta study about it that concluded that BPD traits were associated with women, but also that women who don’t express gender normal behavior are perceived as BPD by men. Although men scored higher in individual BPD behaviors, they were not perceived as BPD by themselves or others unless they behaved outside of gender normal behavior (acted more “feminine”). There’s a genetic component by a twin study, but it’s unknown it’s causative effect to gender. There’s studies that women score higher in neuroticism(anxiety, depression, etc) as a personality trait. It is also known child trauma has a causative effect, and may be related to how women are sexually assaulted as children at higher rates than men. Basically, a complex mix of social expectations, social bias, how women are treated in society, and biological aspects of women’s personalities may contribute to an overall significantly higher rate of BPD diagnosis being a female diagnosis. Interestingly, a disorder on the same axis (antisocial personality disorder) has an exact opposite gender disparity (3:1 men over women) and that is also investigated in other studies.

Ohhhhh, yeah that changes things. I didn't realize the pagelinks database you mentioned was not generated by you based on the master Wiki dump that they keep available for download. In that case, yes this seems unsolvable without 1) petitioning them to update the code on their side to adjust for this and exclude these erroneous links or 2) deciding to create your own pagelink database based on the master wiki download and updating this database periodically (I forget how often Wiki updates the master downloads). While 1) is clearly the preferable option, it is unlikely to occur, unless maybe they are willing to add some columns to provide more details about the links and what sections, tags, classes, etc. they are a part of. That might be more palatable for Wiki to provide as it is just a code change on their end to supply more information rather than something possibly affecting many users by excluding the links altogether.
It’s not a joke in the weight lifting world, it might have a funny/vaguely offensive name but as far as any serious weight lifter is concerned, if you cant third world squat and hold it for a while you should really get your a low bar back squat form checked before going to appreciable loads.

For those struggling getting in to this position I have two bits of advice:

1. Use a door frame to support yourself initially and really sit back on your heels and hang on the door. It will burn in your adductors so go easy initially. Once you feel comfortable with holding yourself up with the door frame, start to brace and then let go of the door, even for just a second and catch yourself before falling back, to get a feel for balancing yourself. After a few weeks you won’t need the door frame.
2. Stretch your calves, poor dorsiflexion (closing the angle between your shin and the top of your foot) is common and a pain. Everyone should be able to have their toes about 4 inches from a wall and touch the wall with their knee without lifting their heel. Start at one inch and hold it for 30 seconds on each leg once a day, after a week move to 2 inches. I’ve gone from 2 inches to 6 in about a year and has done wonders for my squat.

Finally, when you see people in this squat position in Asia etc you will notice that their spine is rarely flat if they are fully down in the squat. This is generally fine so long as the spine is not loaded. The aim of the deep ass to grass third world squat is not to hold it with a perfectly straight back, the point is to stretch out the positerior chain and, in the cases of people actively using it day to day, to give a comfortable position to work on things low down without forcing their spine to take the weight and job of supporting their bent over action, the aim is to transition that load into the glutes.
