Maybe have a look at the voting patterns of veterans. Their voting patterns don’t lead me to think they are anti war.
“Chirp chirp” is the common onomatopoeia for cricket sounds, i.e. nobody is there. So it’s funny to me that “chirpss” is used as the name of a product that announces when someone visits your website. You have literal chirps when someone is there, and figurative chirps when no one is.
Me too (diagnosed ADHD, work in tech)! Prior to being medicated, however, I was frequently on the verge of being being disciplined or fired for being incapable of completing some projects.

Medication made it possible to turn it into a reliable career with promotion paths.

That said, "incapable" was a poor word choice. Not entirely inaccurate, however. I know of many people who end up shifting jobs a lot - smart but lazy is how the upper management sees them.

idk re: corporation, but look at the studies assessing unemployment rate of ADHD+ people. it's something ridiculously higher than the normal population.
And that digging-into-questions can be effectively done by writing. :)
I don't think "false information" is the kicker here. Taking a cursory glance at Breitbart and Fox News, there isn't that much that is patently false. Furthermore, my observations of how propaganda works in general is that it doesn't usually rely information that is technically false. It relies on selective distribution of information, editorial spin, and other more subtle methods.

This makes "enforcement" basically impossible because you can't have a news outlet without editorial decisions. A better way to go about it would be to try incentivize media outlets to make a good faith effort at "both sides" journalism, but members of both political sides have been attacking the media for doing just that since the 2016 election season.
Yes. That's the policy goal. Don't start businesses that are inevitably going to hurt people.

There are lots of other profitable businesses you're not allowed to start, like "an agile, disruptive restaurant that cuts costs by never cleaning" or "an investment advisor that front-runs their own customers" or "a healthcare startup that runs on unpatched Windows XP" or "a company that helps you get work visas for nonexistent jobs" or whatever.
I worked on the fastly varnish fork. None of this is accurate. Definitely not "because of phk influence".

Most of the details are obviously secret, but occasionally when we found something architecturally concerning I'd talk it over with phk in IRC and he would make his own fix.

Fastly is a big complex distributed system loosely based on Varnish. There are several fantastic blog posts about Fastly's distributed architectural design, but nothing to my knowledge about anything else. Comparing single-machine scalability is completely inaccurate, mostly because you'll never know what fastly actually did or more importantly why they did it.

In general the "big co's fork of X must be superior" is a trope I'm thoroughly tired of.
After seeing C4[1], everything else doesn't seem tiny at all... and maybe it's just me, but this is another one of those projects where I found the directory layout rather confusing, especially for something that claims to be "small and easy to understand." bin/ is empty, there's only a single nearly-empty file in src/, lib/ is also empty, include/tvm is two levels but one is empty, and all the interesting stuff actually appears to be in libtvm/ .

More importantly, even after going through all the files in libtvm/ , I still haven't managed to find the main instruction execution loop nor the decoding switch. Sorry, but I don't think "small and easy to understand" applies, and I've had experience with VMs and interpreters and the like for many years. Compare with this, for example:

https://github.com/tjmerritt/z80

A rule-of-thumb when investigating the source code of a project for the first time: if I have to go more than 2 directories deep to get to the "meat" of the code, my desire to explore further drops significantly.

unconst can't be the default because there is no way to re-const a value once it's been turned into an unknown. The most "automagic" behavior is to tie branch conditionals to their exit values (there's a helper function called tie-const that does this for the manual case). If the conditional is unknown at compile time, then the continuations that exit the branch will mark their arguments as unknown. That also stops loops from unrolling (they'd typically unroll for i=0, but then stop). But, as I mentioned before, that completely kills constant folding at the exit points, something that is at times desirable.

Another reason loops are unrolling by default is that there are many situations where constexprs have to completely fold at compile time, and you need a guarantee that they do. A common example is handling keyed varargs. You need to be able to iterate through the keys and build local variables from that without any code being generated.

If a compile time unroll takes forever, there's practically no clean way to debug that.
Practically speaking, flask + jinja2 + wget [0] seems like a much more robust and approachable solution.

There is nothing in the definition of a mental disorder that implies that a person requires assistance to interact with society. You can certainly have ADHD while being capable of coping on your own.
Yes, sorry, if that wasn't clear. By victims I mean the people whose data was harvested of course.
i don't buy this argument by hallowell for a second, and here's why:

jobs don't need creativity in the quantities that adhd people muster by default. they need, let's say, 5 units of creativity, not 50000 -- that many leads to being outside of the room when the job only requires you to be near the edge of a box in the room.

thinking "outside the box" is a hindrance. most people can't get on your level, and you can't bring yourself to where your thoughts really make sense to them. the point is that with adhd, it isn't a choice to make. they can't control whether to be inside the box, outside the box, or even in the same building as the (conceptual) box.

if it were a choice to make, it'd just be an advantage.

We've had something similar in the UK for a long time, but it actually works pretty well.

There will always be a few people out to cause trouble with excessive requests, but I don't think we should let that block access to non-sensitive information for things we as the tax payer have paid for.
When I looked at the blockchat example, I didn't feel I have enough time to read the message. It scrolled quite fast. I rewinded only to have the same thing happen. Felt frustrating.

So I thought I'd ask: is the product the .mov playing on the left side, or is that an example to help understand and ultimately get me to download the app, where the action is?
You should ask your psych to look into something like Intuniv if you haven't already tried it. It seems to be a very promising medication - even if it's off label use for adult adhd - where you can even use it as an adjuvant to a low dose stimulant. I know a fair number of folks that have success tackling adhd and comorbid anxiety with certain nonstimulants.
I love Jefferson, but the reality is that half the economy up there is based on destroying the environment, and the other half is based on cleaning it up.

For a few ideas im working on, I could see using a Rythmm channel to communicate to my audience and make announcements to users on updates and latest news. Personally, I'm not very interested in blogging about my product/services, or having a blog serve the need to communicate announcements. Currently, I might feel the need to: 1. Write a post
2. Announce the post on social media.
3. Link to the post in a newsletter
4: repeat over and over...

I could see using Rhythmm to serve all the needs for me to simply 'say stuff', without all the other services and social marketing related work involved.

Note: Im making these observations in relation to an audio based project.
Sure, and that's a good argument that the tradeoff isn't worth it in modern society. But what the previous commenter said was not.

At age 5, testing concluded my oldest did not have ADHD. At age 8 in a different school, a teacher suggested we "put him on Ritalin" so he would sit still in her class. Yeah, let's skip diagnosing the kid and go straight to drugging him for your convenience. Nothing wrong in the slightest with that thought process.

I ultimately homeschooled and I spent a lot of time on various parenting lists. Nutritional supplements actually have a good track record of calming down wild kids, but that isn't a standard recommendation and gets dismissed as woo if you talk about it.

If you are interested in that angle, there's interesting research and discussion related to nutrition and prison populations here:

Over the years, I have seen other articles that suggest that ADHD makes one a better soldier or whatever. I'm not really surprised by the research cited here concerning ADHD genes and things like migration and occupational outcomes.

Once upon a time, we talked about personality differences, saying some people were shy and others gregarious. Now, we diagnose shy people with conditions like selective mutism and we say gregarious people have no filter and diagnose them with conditions like ADHD. I realize some people really suffer. But I think it makes vastly more sense to take a nutritional approach and also consider what people are well suited for and help them find their niche instead of medicalizing and medicating everything under the sun.

To say the least, it's kind of difficult to scientifically prove the skin color of someone from 40,000 years ago. Fossilized bones don't tell you if someone was black or white or whatever. We're not even entirely sure what skin color ancient Egyptians had.

Much of what we know about pre-history is educated guesses based on a tiny amount of evidence and a lot of critical thinking.
That's my project, and it seems to be surprisingly popular, yet something I've never really received any feedback on.

At the time I wrote it I was modeling the opcodes on the Z80, but I guess I simplified once I'd got it working enough to make myself happy. (Lots of toy-virtual machines, of which this definitely is one, don't implement labels or "decompilers".)
I remember my undergrad classes where the types of software engineering diagrams were presented. There were some very informative useful data transformation diagrams that were just glossed over in order to reach the useless UML shit.

I took a very important lesson from those classes, but not the one the professor was trying to explain.
> The real cost is borne by the taxpayer, who has to pay higher taxes elsewhere to make up for the loss.

Even using your logic, your basically admitting its the business owner screwing the general population by creating an incentive structure that encourages tax evasion.

The externality this creates (taxpayers pay more, tax enforcement costs more) which means you are crewing the government out of enough money the customers stop benefiting from the "lower price" since they all have to pay it back in higher taxes to make up the shortfall + increased enforcement costs.
The nature of the entry of Indo-Aryan speakers into India has been discussed in more nuanced ways, but the relation of Sanskrit et al. to European languages (and the unrelatedness of Indo-Aryan to Dravidian and Munda and so) is all well established and not under debate. Either Indo-Aryan speakers migrated into India from outside, or all of the other Indo-European groups migrated out of India. The latter, while not completely out of the question, is much less likely than the former.
Ask HN: What would you build on top of a supermarket API?
I'm thinking of a grocery delivery API in particular as something that doesn't exist but I wish it did. What would you build if supermarkets had extensive APIs?
But that isn't a limitation of lru_cache, for example the same higher order function when used in Clojure i.e. memoize with recur for tail recursion will not cause stack overflow. The stack build up is because python doesn't support tail call optimization, not a limitation of lru_cache, just wanted to make it clear because you can use similar higher order functions in other languages which support tail call optimization without any limitations. Deep recursion in Python without sys.setrecursionlimit() is probably not a good idea, memoization can't help you in that. My point was geared towards presenting this pattern of memoization using a higher order function + recursion as an alternative to dynamic programming and in languages with tco and immutable data structures it works beautifully :)
This sort of thing shows how scarily centralized electronics production is. If a disruption at one plant can take out 3.5% of global production, how many of these plants are there? On the order of 30? Imagine a terrorist group decides to bomb them all simultaneously; there goes the production of every device that uses these chips, potentially for years. Are they needed for something critical? How many products do we rely on that all come from the same dozen or so places?
Yup -- that's just an example. We have landing pages for all of our chats. See our response to plx. Keep in mind that our web experience is lacking :). On the mobile app you can read at your own pace.
Not likely. I don't believe Samsung makes their own bare wafers and I know of no fab that makes wafers on site. I don't think the demand model would work to make that vertically integrated. A couple crucibles can easily supply a Fab and the bulk cycles of crucibles is uite different from the more unitized fab production.

I'm not saying vitamin D isn't involved; I'm just wondering whether it's the whole story. Is this single nucleotide change in SLC24A5 really the only way to decrease melanin production without having other harmful side effects? Naively I would expect lots of ways to have a loss-of-function mutation; why is this one so common? Sexual selection could be a factor, but that is not politically correct to say.

Not the poster you replied to, but the keyboard is ridiculously slow sometimes. It can take a second or so for letters to echo until the keyboard code warms up its cache, or whatever it’s doing immediately after it is displayed.

I’ve also noticed that I sometimes have to click the fingerprint sensor 4-5 times to get the pin screen to display. Clicking works reliably once the phone is unlocked.

They definitely broke the touch screen on iPhone X, at least during winter weather. They had a point release of iOS where that was one of the headline bug fixes.

What does FOB mean to you people? In the UK military a FOB is a little base with maybe twenty to a hundred people in, planted in an area surrounded by the enemy, designed for you to patrol out from it and dominate the ground. Sleepy wasn't how I'd describe it. Sleep-less more like. I worked 16 hour days for seven months and dealt with people being killed and maimed daily.

Yes, per https://mobile.twitter.com/alexstamos/status/975044091393187... this (headline) seems like quite a sensationalisation. Nonetheless good to repeatedly raise people’s awareness of what they agreed/are agreeing to.
Some types of cheese and yogurt have greatly reduced amounts of lactose compared to plain milk. Many people who can't tolerate plain milk can still tolerate some types of cheese and yogurt.
That's a really good analogy to use, and resonates with me a lot (ADHD-PI). Thanks for this, I'm going to use it.
Hmm,

Scanning the syntax, is there an operation for addressing memory? I see an operation for moving one value to another and that's it. I don't see any method of addressing a variable position in memory (or a variable position in an array if one wants to be more managed about it).

I suppose you could handle all operations from the stack.

But I think a lot of things require memory reads and writes, at least to do efficiently.

It’s really easy: you pass laws.

Look at health records. HIPAA is rather successful at keeping your health data narrowly confined to those that need it. There is nothing that prevents similar laws to work for financial data, location data, etc.

The only roadblock is people saying they “don’t personally think legislation is the answer”. Because there is literally nothing but law that can have an effect.
Sure. If they keep working for winning candidates in the future, then maybe I'll be convinced that they aren't just BS?

I fear being hit by cars as a pedestrian, not cyclists.

The "thirty second dropoff" is going to block at least one travel lane regardless. Why not just stay in the vehicle lane?

Do you think double parking for 30 seconds deserves a ticket?

If you think the bike lane deserves to be blocked because you "rarely see bikes obey traffic laws at all," surely the pervasive speeding, rolling stops, and failure to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks among drivers makes them even more deserving of having their travel lane blocked?

Or is that not what you meant? If not, why bring up cyclists' supposed failure to follow traffic laws when we're discussing drivers blocking travel lanes?
I was referring to this comment in the grandparent post:

>We had a mail-list thread this past week about an employee who felt lonely.
You don't need to hack into voter databases - most people register for the party they vote for and that is public information(along with their home address, phone number, and whether they voted in past elections).
I have found that many older folks who reminisce about the good old days when everything lasted forever and was repairable, have conveniently forgotten one little detail: cost.

For example, a bog standard plain white washing machine in 1962 would run you about $200. An equivalent no-frills washing machine today will be about $300. So yes, of course things back then lasted longer -- you were paying about ten times more for them. If there were a market for it, a manufacturer today could easily make a $2500 basic washing machine that would last 50 years with relatively little maintenance and make it inexpensive to repair if it does break.
It requires a lot of talent to figure out what children need developmentally, the kinds of things they’re going through and how to turn that into calming entertainment, talent to be a puppeteer and a song writer, talent to be a host and have a consistent vision, and a lot of raw drive to keep it going for decades.

I don’t think just anyone could do it.
As a walker in NYC I've been hit by cars twice and once by a bike. All three incidents happened while crossing legally, in a pedestrian crosswalk with a walk signal. The biggest difference is how the operators of the vehicles acted. The car drivers were worried, polite, stopped and got out to make sure I was okay. The cyclist (who was running a red light) cursed me and rode off with a raised middle finger.

It's a small sample set, obviously.

When I see cyclists approaching a red light, I generally assume they will run it. I'm not judging this one way or the other; it's just what I've come to expect by observation. Usually they're polite and attentive enough to aim behind crossing pedestrians, but it seems that many feel they have an overriding right-of-way regardless of signage or signals.

The cyclists I've spoken to about this shrug it off as a necessary evil -- biking in NYC is difficult and dangerous, and meticulously following the traffic rules makes it more so not less so. And once you're accustomed to breaking the rules for safety's sake, you begin to do it for convenience's sake as well.
