No, because lifting with your back is totally fine. Actually lifting things off the ground is a whole body movement. "Lifting with your legs" is an ok cue if the person has never lifted anything before but the real cue is that you need to have tightness from hands to toe to pick something up effectively, which includes your back.
It's kind of weird that gaining marketshare in a shrinking market while increasing revenue per sold phone would be a bad thing just because some analist thought it would even sell better.
I can't take this paper seriously; for example, the author takes little care to understand the all of the important physical evidence surrounding the protein folding problem before attempting to claim that quantum fluctuations influence protein folding.
I doubt the top 10% of earners come from these "most states." I presume strong correlation between income and high cost-of-living high state tax states.

Drug use is not a problem in my circle of friends - I have friends who have done LSD, molly, coke, and countless others. They're all productive and mostly well-adjusted. This is mostly a Burning Man, techie set, there are also a fair number of qualified mental health professionals.

Honestly, I don't think a book on white-collar drug use is a good idea - it's too broad a topic.

I would either focus it on unproblematic (and possibly beneficial) drug use or drug abuse - those are too radically different phenomenon, to conflate the two will definitely undermine your credibility.

Based on your past work it looks like you're targeting drug abuse, so I would just stay focused on that, especially what factors differentiate it from general drug use by responsible, informed people.
People tend to disregard statements like this, but they are absolutely 100% true.

Hash is pseudorandom. It amplifies the rounding error of the sine function, as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4275343

The reason I didn't use fragCoord was because I wasn't sure it would be within range, though thinking about it, I can't really see why it wouldn't be since before the engine was using it directly (d'oh). Anyways I did the mod 9 and divide by 10 to ensure it was in the range of [0, 0.8999999...]. The idea there was I got initial the impression (though I didn't really dig) that the hash function generates a point between x and y of the vector. Reviewing, it seems this was a silly notion.

I think you're right, now that I'm looking at it again. Your way of getting h1 and h2 is much more efficient.

Wolfenstein 3DMT
Each pixel represents a block, where each column is 300 blocks. The orange visualizes the number of unspent transaction outputs per block, and the blue visualizes the amount of unspent BTC per block.

How I made it:

1. Precalculated all block heights to snapshot the UTXO stats at (every 1008 blocks)
2. Downloaded the whole blockchain using the Bitcoin Core client
3. Wrote a script that invalidates all blocks to X using the Bitcoin Core’s RPC
4. Saved a snapshot of the UTXO set using the same method as for utxo-stats.com (see source code below)
5. Saved price with each snapshot (from a csv file downloaded from coindesk.com)
6. Repeated step 3 - 5 by invalidating the next 1008 blocks
7. Copied the source code for utxo-stats.com modified it to load these snapshots one by one
8. Recorded the screen using QuickTime
9. Imported the movie into iMovie and sped it up

The guy is in a power relationship with his subordinates, he is definitely not the one to go and prescribe medication. The best thing he could have done is to send you to a doctor.

If a CEO here in NL suggested I take some pills in order to improve my productivity and offered to supply them my first step would be to inform the board in writing and my second would be to resign my position. This is simply not ok, and not acceptable.
yup. There was one published study that basically says that if they are right which is not proven then the worst case scenario is slightly less probable.

But Paris Climate Accord are now dated, 2017 report from IPCC says the 2°C objective has already failed and we're heading for a 3 to 5°C average global temperature increase whatever we do by the end of the century, such a global average increase translate into a 6 to 10°C average continental temperature increase. With a 6 to 10°C temperature increase no known agriculture is possible.

This past year I moved from NYC (Queens) to Central NJ and it's been a positive experience. It's surprising how beautiful this state really is. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), those who's experience with NJ solely consist of driving along the Turnpike, or landing in EWR, really have no idea.
No H&S rep is going to tell you to lift of a soft back though.
8 billion people, 7.9 billion of which are hopelessly ignorant, living day by day and can't even comprehend the issues we discuss on here or even that those issues exist at all. Even most of my neighbors in first-world US are hopelessly ignorant about major issues and this isn't me being elitist--I at least understand the impact the human race has on the world even if I disagree about some of the minutiae or accept that I can't change them.

It isn't going to be pretty when it all comes apart. Mass death following mass environmental degradation.

I give climate change activists hell because I already know the solution to that problem is a) fewer people or b) new technology. And b) doesn't buy us tons more time. Over-fishing is an even more critical issue imho and the only solution to it is fewer mouths to feed. Humans are used to abundance but there is an upper limit.
In a way, the way contracts and legal documents are written now are already an antagonistic optimization against humans natural language ability. A typical contract is pretty difficult for a human to parse without experience. Imagine how much more tricky and complex legalese can get if lawyers start battling machines!
We might have known that, but I didn't know that they could be manufactured at scale and then assembled by the lowest common denominator while maintaining acceptable quality.

I'm in my last semester of college as a Computer Science student. I know a ridiculously large number of people who use adderall or vyvanse to gain a competitive edge.
My anecdote: In undergraduate engineering, a lot of the people around me were on ritalin. I never felt disadvantaged because I felt it didn't give anyone a clear advantage in the hardest subjects like mathematics or nonlinear control. From what I saw, it didn't seem to improve intelligence that much; rather it helped the distractable people to not get distracted from studying for example.
I expect that internet traffic will still travel over the network using IP, but encapsulated in the SpaceX protocol. I expect translating the headers to and from IP would not make the protocol "simpler than IPv6", and would not be justifiable complexity to save a few bytes.

I think this "simple" protocol is just to simplify routing, and allow non-IP traffic over the network (in-band control messages; phone calls?).
Yep these facilities require >100MW and require their own substations. Hence one reason why it takes so long to build.
This is an edgy soundbite, but I don’t think it contributes anything substantive to the discussion of a cryptocurrency exchange being acquired by a GS subsidiary. I could have replaced “Goldman Sachs” with “Google” and I’d have received the same amount of insight.
I've been doing software development in a small midwestern town for ~10 years. Most people drink coffee, but only a handful that I've known take other stimulants. In my (completely anecdotal) experience, the people who drink coffee or take drugs feel dependent on them for performance, but don't actually perform better or worse than those who don't.
Clearly the message that Atlanta sends is "you should sit in traffic".

(I'm joking, but I feel like this might be the kernel of something - most notably Atlanta's long-standing problems with segregation and resistance to public transit.)
Not trying to be negative about you, sorry. I actually was prescribed stimulants as a child for ADD, and still take modafinil very occasionally.

My comment was more directed towards some of the sensationalist articles you see about stimulant use sometimes where I always get the impression that the journalist talked to one guy who talked their ear off and gave them a bunch of juicy exaggerated quotes.
The name of a species is fixed to a specific "holotype". Oetzi is the only neanderthal; archeopterix had different names for each of the first specimen found; Carl von Linee is the holotype for Homo Sapiens Sapiens, according to some taxonomists, at least (himself, I guess) ... Exactly because this is a known problem. A single individual is as discrete as it gets.

In linguistics this problem is called the single other hypothesis and rater popular. In programming and math it's the diamond square problem, e.g. for java's inheritance mechanism, which is countered with generics, traits, typeclasses and so on. Abstract Algebra and Category theory have to deal with this and the corollary from my POV is, that it's just really complicated.

Before genetics, phenotype was based on appearance. Genetic genealogy is a rather young field, so it might take a while for deeper insights to trickle down. Also, it's not completely wrong to base a classification on environment, because a protein to synthesis X from Y is useless, if the environment doesn't provide Y.
Same, I've also been doing kettelbell sumo squats/goblet squats to help flexibility and kettlebell deadlifts for hamstrings. Huge improvement to my lower back pain I was experiencing in the past.
I've also done this math -- price per sqft is wayy better in Seattle and you don't necessarily need a car. In any case, a metro card isnt cheap. The cost of groceries/alcohol is also much much higher in nyc and at a lower quality.

I have a postdoc friend who lives in Seattle on slightly less than I do. They have a huge 1br in cap Hill with parking next to the subway with a short committee downtown or to UW. Meanwhile my apartment is the same price with a minifridge, a 40m commute, and no dishwasher/laundry/disposal.

Plus the PNW is just more enjoyable to explore than the northeast in my opinion. You definitely can make more in Nyc but the COL and QoL is just awful compared to the pnw
Should offices be more like kitchens?
A far-out old employer of mine decided that their standard format for alerts, sent by applications to the central monitoring system, would include a field for a URL pointing to some relevant documentation.

I think this was mostly pushed through by sysadmins annoyed at getting alerts from new applications that didn't mean anything to them.
Center the controls then apply rudder opposite to the direction of spin.
...As a topical follow-up, I just confirmed with my wife her Seattle bus experiences, and discovered a few points:

* She has seen issues, but "only" had a few herself. "I'm not pretty enough to be harassed" is a crushing one sentence summary of the existence of harassment, the objectification of women, and what we've done to womens' self-confidence.

* She reminded me of an issue I was present for - a guy was loudly declaring how horrible women (he used a number of other terms too) were. For me it was just extremely awkward, and I never registered how a woman would feel about her safety in the future after seeing that. My wife said that she wasn't afraid at the time, because I was present and several other men on the bus were telling him to sit down and shut up, but that she would definitely be influenced by this if she were boarding a bus that was only lightly occupied. This tells me how much men miss about the atmosphere for women even when present.

* She mentioned that she usually doesn't take the bus downtown when traveling alone anymore because of regularly feeling too tense when she did. I hadn't really registered that. (in my partial defense, doing this when alone meant I wasn't around to see it, but it still seems a huge thing for me to miss).

* She validates that some routes are more problematic than others. Heading to Harborview is worse than heading to Convention Place, as an example.
Introduction to Time Series
> it feels like people tend to overestimate other's ability. I'm sure all those anecdotes are true but the evaluation of said individual to be 10xer may be overstated without a sensible metric

It's incredibly hard to estimate anyone's relative abilities in knowledge fields - and this includes yourself (probably worst of all - estimating your own ability is remarkably wrong much of the time).

How much of someone else's ability came down to an "aha! moment"? How much was because of what they've done before. How much was because of what they heard someone say about the problem that no one else caught? How much was seeing three other teammate's efforts, and noticing they're reproducing work, and can cut some of their workloads? How much was because they kept everyone else excited and motivated to finish the project and do well?

Some things are easy to compare - times to run a 5K, how many biscuits you can roll in an hour, how many bricks you can carry at once. Most things aren't that simple.

Analyzing the relative ability multiplier for any given contributor can really only be done after the fact (often well after), if at all.
I moved to NYC 3 years ago with no job and have managed to make it through freelancing, contract and regular part time work, but it has certainly been harder than I thought it would to find full time work.

The city is expensive and there is a lot of competition from recent graduates as well as talented people attracted to the magnetic island at the center of the world.

It does feel like a constant race, but the city is full of art and inspiration and I have learned and grown a lot here and recommend coming for the experience, even if you decide to leave afterwards.

I loved the performance and battery life of the phone, but I finally gave up on the form factor. Apple and developers now support the screen size as an afterthought and I'd become increasingly frustrated by new version of apps that squish their 5.5" UI into 4, so I finally had it and switched to a compact Android device. Apple could have avoided this by maintaining the size of the phone and reducing bezels, but it seems clear that they consider smaller phones a niche market that isn't interesting.
SF Bay Area: Are you worried that it’s a bit tone deaf to be writing a book on drug use among well-paid programmers and other tech sector workers when they are living among a sea of homeless people living in squalor under bridges with high levels of heroin and alcohol abuse and mental illness?
The time, effort, and stress of commuting easily offsets any gains from living outside of NYC. Any city with decent neighborhoods will be at least a 60 minute commute door to door, plus you have to budget another 30 minutes for delays and whatnot because the public transit is terrible.

It's very difficult to plan anything on work days if you're commuting into NYC, and you get to pay super high rents and property taxes for states with huge deficits and infrastructure debt which means the situation won't get any better. Seattle offers better food, recreational activities, growing future, and no income tax. I'd say the weather is better too, but some people really miss the sun, but you can easily fly to a beach resort for multiple weekends of the year with the savings of not living in the NYC area.
I'm of the same opinion, I'd be happy to kick $2-$3 a month for 100GB of storage to Dropbox.

However I don't think storage is really their concern, their product is the syncing capability, the apps on all devices, Dropbox Paper etc.

Additionally I'd be really interested in knowing what % of paying customers actually use their 1TB allowance, or even half of it. This is probably where the majority subsidise the cost of the "whales", like at an all you can eat buffet
Backblaze only has one data center. The latency is high if you are too far away from it. Which is fine for a backup solution. If that data center gets hit by a meteor -- you're toast. Again that's fine for a backup, especially if you actually implement the 3-2-1 back up strategy that they are always recommending.
This. So much this. One big problem with AI/ML as is currently eating the world is that it's just a really fancy averaging engine. It memorizes (incredibly, beautifully, superhumanly) but it doesn't really actually understand. There's a whole spate of "lets trick the AI" in image processing, I have to believe that there are easy ways to do the same with text.

That said, one counterargument could be that obfuscating an AI will lead to more confusing contracts which could actually end up making them harder to enforce. So perhaps in this case there's a counter-force.

Beautiful story WhaleSalad! God bless you man.
I've made a throwaway account to comment on this, and I've not scanned down through all the comments so you may already have similar stories.

I am a software developer based in London, UK who uses several stimulants / drugs in my day-to-day work, I also understand that I am the exception to the rule and whilst I do use a number of substances for many reasons, there are very few of my colleagues that do the same - in fact I have very few colleagues that I work closely with anyway.

To give you some context - I work for a financial group and mostly work on software to aid their day to day workflows. The simplest terms I can put it in is that I give a lot of rich city boys the tools to make them a lot of money and in return they pay me what I consider to be an obscene salary. I spend most of my days in the basement of one of those buildings in the city, in a small office, pretty much alone with headphones on and sometimes going days without actually talking to people. I like it.

I am diagnosed with ADHD which is not as commonly diagnosed in adults in the UK ( but becoming more commonly reconsised ) - for that I take methylphenidate ( commonly known as Ritalin in the US ) and that helps immensely with focus. I also vape cannabis regularly that also helps with the focus as my dose wears off. Sometimes, for those long weekend sessions of coding, I will use LSD.

The effects are - I dont have to loathe myself whilst doing my job. In all honesty, I hate my job and the people I work for, but at the same time, I got bills to pay and want to retire at a younger age than most. I also find that the drugs make me zone-in on a task and I am just able to get it done quicker. I write significantly better code high, than not.

I'd love to have a story for you, but in all honesty my life is pretty boring beyond the fact that some of the stuff I have to do is questionable, especially for those people who might be using online trading software.

Other than that, picture a guy, standing ( yeah, im one of those standing desk people ) in a small, fairly dimly lit office in the basement of a multi-billion pound financial bohemoth, with headphones on blasting some music whilst bashing away at a keyboard and thats pretty much my life.
Also consider Adrafinil. It metabolizes into Modafinil, but Adrafinil can be purchased legally from just about anywhere (Amazon has a few listings).
Not just white collar, but white people. I crossed a border once with thousands of dollars in drugs with a pretty white girl (we worked in finance). No one thought twice. I get the 3rd degree whenever I cross though.

If you're not experiencing variety of culture and thought in New York City then, frankly, you're doing something very wrong.

The OP's statement wasn't limited to software developers, who I agree still tend to be a relatively homogenous group even in NYC. But you really ought to stop outside your professional circle once in a while. If you go to a bar in SV it's nothing but people in tech, talking about tech. If you go to a bar in NYC you don't see it anywhere near as much.
To add to this,I keep the weight low until I feel really confident I can maintain proper form moving up in weight even when fatigued. For example if I can do 10 sets of 10 reps of swing at a weight without compromising form, I would look to increase weight.
And, to an extent we only know that alchemy is "non scientific " because a lot of people like him worked hard on it and figured that out. Until then it was scientific. So too can religious research be scientific even if it turns out there isn't really a supernatural being.

Having lived in Portugal for 25 years this comment didn't ring true:

https://imgur.com/a/R5PRt

If we ignore Portugal (and Iceland which consumes a lot more per capita but is not in the EU), Spain is indeed the top consumer per capita in the European Union, but nowhere near 3x most European countries.

Only 50% more than France/Italy and about twice of UK/Belgium/Finland/Denmark/Netherlands.

Unless by "other European countries" you meant to refer to Germany, the ratio is way off.
