I also went to graduate school for an MBA (I didn’t finish). We had real world case studies to discuss. Why shouldn’t CS do the same?

I taught myself how to program in Applesof Basic in 6th grade because I wanted to write a game. Then I learned assembly and how the interpreter worked, how the extension cards mapped memory, the OS etc.

I offered bank transfers on Instapainting.com but nobody used it. It required logging in with your bank credentials. Other times I’ve seen it you would have to enter your routing and account number, and then wait several business days to verify the transaction from two deposits before they could debit your account.

The user experience is simply not in place by the incjmbent players.

It’s like the adoption of QR codes in China vs US, apple, facebook never baked in native qr code support like they did in WeChat in China. So in China it took off like crazy, but in the US no one used them because no one could (you’d have to find and download a special app).

Apple did this because they were banking on bluetooth beacons instead, but that never took hold either.

Corporate strategy and policies thus are largely to blame for this, and unfortunately it can boil down to a single decision from a C-level that doesn’t know better.

It depends on the purpose of your debugging. If you know exactly where you want to go then, as you say, this has diminished value. but debugging can often be exploratory, in which case this feature could be a real timesaver.
Speaking of Leary, this quote from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas [1] basically sums up my opinion and sentiment above:

> All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped to create...

> ...a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody-or at least some force-is tending the Light at the end of the tunnel...

> ... This is the same cruel and paradoxically benevolent bullshit has kept the Catholic Church going for so many centuries.

I think that HST had the right idea. He was under no illusion that drugs were just a bunch of fun and that life was a carnival. Of course, the man killed himself at 67, so I don't know if he's a great role model. In fact, he's no better than Leary, he just went over the deep end of hedonism instead.

It is funny how long this has been an issue and how I and so many people have given up stepping in and instead jump to the actual user function, set break point, and then step over at the source location, then unset the breakpoint and continue.

Needless to say, this improvement is much welcomed!
This appears merely to test whether being told to take another's perspective, after already reading the other’s words, and having no opportunity to engage with the other or gain new information, helps with "accuracy". Would it be surprising if it didn't help much? The whole point of taking another's perspective is to "get" it and it often involves asking questions.

I generally use a CM Novatouch TKL, which is a keyboard with Topre switches with MX stems (for keycaps).

Sadly it's apparently impossible to buy those switches by themselves (for a custom build) without desoldering from a donor board.
To digress from the main point: the suggestion of writing in (physical) books makes me cringe. Once you do so, they become absolutely worthless to anyone but you. Trying reading a book that someone else has underlined and/or annotated - it's highly distracting and annoying.
An autopsy of the American dream – Steven Brill interview
I have tried and tested many mechanical keyboards, cherry mx blue, brown and black. I feel like I'm disturbing my co-workers with the clicking, and always felt that there is something off with my typing. Sometimes, a bit clunky and nervous, as the keys need to much force and doesn't bottom out.

It's funny that the author compares the expensive mechanical keyboards with the Logitech K120, which I have found to be the best and most comfortable keyboard that I have yet to try.
It's even more funny as it is one cheapest ones you can find (10-15USD), almost makes the keyboard even better!
How to get kids to pay attention

I'd really love lowRISC to produce a cheap board, unfortunately they've been promising something "next year" for about 3 years now. To be fair they do have a reasonable development environment that you can download and write to a cheap-ish FPGA.

They are promising a completely open design. But to achieve that without proprietary IP blocks involves using so-called "minion cores" to handle I/O, where a minion core is a cut down RV32 core hanging off the side of the main RV64 application cores. The minion cores would essentially handle I/O by bitbanging, which sounds OK for slow devices like serial lines and perhaps even fast ethernet, but I'm not sure how well that's going to work for SATA, gigabit ethernet or DDR4 RAM.

How is weed harmful? Any mental and physical effects subside with cessation of use.

My buddy just quit for a month. The only issues he had were having to deal with his terrible IBS without what had effectively become medicine for him.

I smoke for similar reasons and for anti anxiety. It is FAR less harmful than brain melting benzos like xanax and Klonopin.

Wanna talk about harm? When I was prescribed Klonopin, I essentially blacked out for a month of my life. I didn't "wake up" from that until I missed a dose and promptly tossed it in the trash.

If you are so concerned with some nitpicky level of subjective "harm," maybe we should talk about all the harm prescription drugs can cause. When you have chronic illnesses and the medicine only makes you worse, self medication becomes an enticing prospect.

What about kids with severe seizures, etc? We've seen some of the most conservative states allow cbd oil because it is the only thing that works.

If you have an open mind, you should look into the endocannabinoid system that resides in every human being. We have a massive network of receptors that rely on cannabinoids to mediate chronic illnesses and reduce inflammation in our bodies.

It is thought that we have this system and relationship with cannabinoids because humans have been cultivating and consuming marijuana for thousands of years. Weed and humans have developed alongside each other over time in a kind of symbiotic relationship. To simply pretend that weed is some sort of harmful narcotic is so far from the truth.

Excess is the issue. A person who let's weed run their life is no different than someone that overeats or procrastinates constantly. If you have bad habits and no self control you can take anything to excess.
This is a bad bill. The PTO is notorious for issuing bad patents; examiners don't have the time or the information necessary to do a good job. Giving the PTO a chance to re-evaluate bad patents saves literally billions of dollars; the courts are far more expensive.
We, for example, have lots of classes and structures that are designed to the interfaces provided by the STD containers. Mix that with actual STD containers and you can spend several hours trying to find the problem. Just My Code eliminates much of that since almost always the STD is not the cause for the problem.
7 Mistakes to Avoid in Forming a New Venture Board
There is the idea of universal human rights that persists outside of the nation state. Trade is a major lever and failing that war. This is why NK wants nukes because then we can’t invade on concern over human rights. But yes there is a more ethical and moral path and some nations are more ethical/moral than others. Some argue that we have a duty to interfere and others follow the Star Trek prime directive as the guiding principal. A compromise in Brazil would be for the tribes to give the children up for adoption or to the State.
I don't really understand your concept of narrative here. Without turning it into a history of CS lesson how do you cover something (which I assume it's basic in CS) like the halting problem or Church-Turing hypothesis. Don't you need a formal, abstract, mathematically rigorous approach; isn't that rather at odds to the concept of narration?

Surely in CS you're covering stuff that doesn't have ready implementations - like say a programming class would cover various common sorting algos??

I'm sure you can tell I'm not a Comp.Sci person, I've dive done maths, computing, programming, logic, etc. on the periphery though. It's the general concept I'm interested in, I've the feeling I'd have found fractal geometry or QFT maddening with (extraneous) narrative.
At least be honest that you are implicitly stating an opinion that abortion at 9-15 weeks is equivalent to infanticide.

This is a great analysis of Nietzsche. It's rare to find people who really understand what he's trying to say. Many people interpret him in inaccurate ways.

Essentially, Nietzsche is a person who touches very sensitive parts of being human after he analyzed society. He is a person who asked uncomfortable questions about existence in his quest to describe nihilism. Nihilism is the consequence of the loss of morality and the total annihilation of ones values and belief system - and the loss of morality stems from the "death of god" which means that we got to the point (in science) where there were exceedingly small areas of unknowns. Many questions - also about right and wrong - were suddenly more informed due to increasing knowledge.

What makes Nietzsche great is his ability to foresee what this leads to. It's like he knew what will happen in the future. And he tried to give us a solution using "will to power". I'm not necessarily a fan of his solution, but I appreciate it. He's a man who had a positive attitude towards people and society. He wanted to help society. This deep empathy based on insane levels of self-awareness and profundity is what I like about him. Unfortunately, his ideas were not understood properly and used by fascists (the "master race" of the Nazis is built on the definition of ubermensch a.k.a. superman). Which is the reason I really appreciate your comment.

I think that "will to power" is one of many possible solutions. But everyone has to find a solution for the big deep hole of emptiness in their existence. Failing to find a solution leads to nihilism which is a very painful and unpleasant place to be (although it has the advantage that you don't have to take responsibilities - for some people this can feel better than dealing with their emptiness). If we as a society fail to help to give people different solutions for this emptiness, it will lead to a society full of unhappy people who are in quiet despair. We can see that this is already happening.

So Nietzsche talked about a question that hit us hard 100 years after his death. Sometimes we acknowledge when sci-fi authors were able to predict the future. I would like to acknowledge that Nietzsche was able to anticipate our reality based on his knowledge of human nature. In the same realm I would like to thank Sigmund Freud - both shared similar thoughts about the human nature which shows that Nietzsche was also a type of psychologist (before it was a distinct research field). Sigmund Freud once articulated his admiration for Nietzsches work and said that Nietzsches thoughts were amazing in that they captured many thoughts that Freud thought to be true due to his works in psychoanalysis.
What do you like about the K120? (The price on Taobao is apparently 42RMB delivered domestically within China which is only USD$6.35.) Personally I grew up with Model M's but have not used one in decades. I do feel the keyboards on most laptops are crap... side-shifting / imprecise travel, weird noises, stuck keys, etc. That's OK with me, I type less these days anyway!

"What if a large class of algorithms used today -- from the algorithms that help us avoid traffic to the algorithms that identify new drug molecules -- worked exponentially faster?" -- these problems used as example in the opening line are only tangentially related to the problem of submodular maximisation that the paper it is talking about is tackling. I also don't think submodular maximisation is widely used today for identifying new drug molecules or avoiding traffic.
I always felt he was extremely articulate, and it is the typical readers preconceived filters preventing them from understanding Nietzsche sentence by sentence.

I have sat down with an unbelievably large number of people studying Nietzsche, as I was a teaching assistant for an undergraduate class on his work. Time and time again, I would be pointing out the basic, fundamental misunderstandings; The world view of the typical American Christian cloud their ability to think clearly about the basic nature of Nietzsche's perspective. They literally can't think logically straight, and bend meaning word by word with personal emotional criticism interlaced with "fear for their soul". They are intellectually handicapped, their thoughts are so interlaced with variations of fear.
On your second question about real-time support, I think the answer is (probably) yes although it depends a bit on precisely what you mean by "real time". I'm assuming you mean as a hard real time microcontroller.

First off there is an Intel SMM-like layer (M mode) running under the operating system. Unlike Intel it's all open source. So if you find that something in M mode is taking too long and disturbing your real time guarantees, you at least have a hope of fixing it.

Obviously Linux is no use for hard real time, but in the HiFive Unleashed board there is a separate RV32 core on the side which actually does nothing except spinning in M mode. It literally runs this loop:

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-pk/blob/600ff370c65ba99d2103a...

You could have this spare core do anything you want while running Linux on the application cores. I believe it has full access to RAM and GPIO pins.

Secondly there is a 96Boards compatible expansion header with some but not very many GPIO pins, see section 8.2 here:

https://static.dev.sifive.com/HiFive-Unleashed-Getting-Start...

Thirdly the clock currently runs at a constant speed (but settable), so there's no power management, both a good and a bad thing, but probably good for real-time.
After so many hours gaming, I can no longer use keyboards without the left ctrl key under my left palm. It feels so foreign I can barely type. I recently discovered this playing around with some older keyboards with the larger bezels.

How can you know what a sociopath is without being one?
Every time I change keyboards (particularly to/from Mac, but also new laptops on a given platform generally have slightly different layouts) I feel like I go through the 'readjust to key position' thing. It's not a biggy these days, having done it perhaps 30+ times.

Right now my biggest whinge is there are too many meta keys. Ctrl+Fn+Win+Alt+Shift is just overkill. Bring back home and end (switching to Mac years ago this was my biggest gripe), down with the Windows key, larger space bars for all! Often I find myself trying weird meta combos to get the functionality I need, I feel like I use so much different software on so many platforms it's basically easier to brute force search the meta-space than remember the damn platform-specific hotkeys half the time :)

PTSD weed smoker here. Not the case whatsoever. If I don't smoke I don't suddenly have intense nightmares about my near death experience nor do I have a physical impetus to keep smoking. If I run out of weed I don't slip into the worst stages of PTSD.

It seems that there ate a ton of people speaking on behalf of both actual smokers and people with chronic illnesses and disorders.

If you don't have PTSD, you can't comprehend it, nor should you try to.

Top commenters issue is that they lack self control. Their "addiction" to weed is self imposed and akin to overeating or being addicted to masturbation.

When you stop smoking, you don't have withdrawals. You simply begin experiencing the chronic illnesses that you have been self medicating against.

I'd also like to add that for mental issues like anxiety, PTSD, and depression, weed acts like a mild antidepressant that is extremely manageable compared to the prescription options that typically make people even more unstable. Every antidepressant in America comes with a warning that it can increase suicidal tendencies, and I can tell you from experience that it is very true.

Those kinds of "medicines" work by making you numb, not treating the actual problems. You don't feel normal at all; you don't care about anything, become very reckless and unstable, and many kids end up killing themselves because of this mental state when they had taken the medicine to quell suicidal thoughts in the first place.
This comment is funny on a lot of levels, especially because it contradicts the standard stereotypes about drug use. People have said many things about the I'll impact of using drugs but making people ruthlessly competing for resources so they can have more fun while high is not one of them. On the other hand a drug like cocaine has been associated with this type of stereotype and could be seen as a factor fueling the conspicuous consumption of resources by the ultra-rich.

Marijuana and psychedelics in general tend to have been associated with influencing people to be less obsessed with materialistic ambitions. But really drugs in and of themselves are heavily influenced by the culture surrounding them and the experiences through which people engage in them. The marijuana capitalists could certainly attempt to market weed in such a way that people feel like they haven't really lived unless theyve done X while high but that is just an echo of the booze laden bikini beer commercials etc that the alcohol industry pushes.

At some point I could see certain environments having social norms that push people to try drugs that would otherwise not just like it can be difficult to hang out in a bar without drinking if you otherwise don't have a personal prohibition against drinking alcohol. But weighing the damage caused by prohibition which is ultimately could been seen as being abused as an easy way to control minority communities through repression by the hands of the police and also facilitating the lucrative and oftentimes violent drug trade. If you look at Nixon's rational for creating the war on drugs it was very much about social control and repression and very little about health concerns.

I think that even Timothy Leary advocated at one time for something akin to a pilots license to get legal access to powerful psychedelics. They are not toys and the way it is now the stigma and black market make it far more likely for them to be misused than in a world where they were treated with an appropriate level of respect in terms of their potential uses. Very few cultures that utilize altered states of consciousness do so without a certain level of ritual and cultural respect for their power.
