I think this could be partially solved by changing the pharmacy systems and moving them to robust electronic systems.

In the US, when I'd get an electronic prescription, I'd have to specify which branch of which pharmacy I was picking it up on. They don't allow electronic prescriptions for opiods, however. (I worked at a pharmacy). Other pharmacies, even in the same chain, could not see my prescriptions without the pharmacy transferring it over to the other physical location. If the pharmacist or doctor suspects something, they basically have to keep the patient waiting to investigate - and if they deny, hope they are getting something wrong instead of someone just getting bad luck.

I now live in Norway. The doctor just does the electronic prescription. I can go to any pharmacy in any location to pick it up. Including the things that aren't allowed to be electronic in the US. This makes such things much easier to be noticed - doctors and pharmacists can get access to this information when filling a prescription.

There are a few other clojure focussed companies in Bristol too.
Whiteboard is GREAT for communicating design or technical ideas (e.g, what is consistent hashing, can you show how you'd merge N sorted lists schematically?). And these skills are super important in both big companies and startups. And we should definitely test candidates in these areas using whiteboards.

Making engineers write code on whiteboard is just comical. If we weren't so used to it, we'd probably have laughed at the idea. In 2018, any company still using whiteboards to write anything more than pseudocode is just playing it too safe or being really lazy in changing their process. Just give them a laptop and have them use coderpad/skype interviews or any of the plethora of collaborative code editors out there. Or even, dare I say, an IDE. You can still have the whiteboard in the room to discuss the idea. But write the code on a laptop with internet access.
agreed; there's real (potential) niceness in these ideas.
I ran into a problem following the example

```
$ emacs --batch -q -l src/my-web.el -f org-publish-all
Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, htmlize
```

I tried and succeeded in installing htmlize. But still ran into this issue. How do I resolve this?

> if you want another unambiguous identifier, it's going to cost

Nonsense - my XMPP addresses are free, globally unambiguous, federated, and support 3 types of end-to-end encryption. A phone number is patently unnecessary. The only reason to require a phone number is to tie the encrypted packets to a known identity.
Well the US history in Cambodia is as messy as the one in Vietnam. I don’t recall all the details but the Khmer Rouge was not inevitable without US intervention.
I really hope the final product will support more bands! I’ve been putting off buying an Android phone since I heard about the Librem 5 and this will be a deal breaker.
I prefer the boring way as well and it should stay like this.

My gut feeling would be that otherwise, instead of handling errors locally, you “sprinkle” your code with “try” keywords. Afterwards you want to distinguish between exception types and eventually you end up switching over these types in a big switch higher up.
I'm pretty sure this is generally accepted to be true in the medical/scientific community (and I suspect isn't new, considering how long opium and its derivatives have been in use). Using "opioid long term pain" or "opioid chronic pain" as search terms for Google or Google Scholar should bring up plenty of reviews and meta-studies that elaborate on this concept.
> Exceptions are really not a great way to think about error handling.

Why not? They let programmers concentrate error-handling in specific points of execution while taking care of every single resource cleanup task the programmer sers fit to perform.

Is there any better way to tackle this problem and keep the source code readable?
What is "innovation"? You need people to get things done even if you're doing research on new tech, unless you're Tony Stark inventing fusion reactors in a cave.
C isn't made for JIT because it's static; that's why inclining exists. Objective-C has room to improve because it has dynamic function calls.
No: HTTPS is more secure than HTTP. This is true regardless of the intended audience.

Explaining why may be beyond a particular audience, but that doesn't justify weakening the truth with weasel words.
Well, that's a far more nuanced argument than yours. Frankly, you'd be better off quoting that than making veridical statements such as 'does not' when your own evidence indicates it 'sometimes' does. Certainly opioids are not a front line treatment, and never were, but I would avoid going around saying they 'do not work' when clearly sometimes they do and it's a highly contextual decision. You may want to say instead that there is little evidence supporting their widespread use in long term pain management as a primary strategy. That would be supported by what you've posted and I'd take no issue with that statement.
> It could get absurd, but the moment you let the government control even something small, it just keeps growing until we are quite literally Nazi germany where only “ideal” people are allowed to breed or receive permission to open businesses or get desirable jobs.

Every government controls more than something small. Very few of them ever turn into Nazi Germany. So, no, I don't think that slippery slope is a useful guideline for evaluating real world questions.

I have a condition that meant that until my late teens, I was in incredible pain daily. My parents asked about painkillers, but my doctor at the time strongly cautioned against them, citing dependence and eventual ineffectiveness. His decision and my parents bravery to listen, when all signs pointed toward the need for relief, is likely why I am a fully functional adult today. That was an insight he had over two decades ago, which is why I find the opioid crisis so damning toward the prescribers.
If you answer my question, I'll tell you where a bug is in your docs (kidding).

I meant open as in not proprietary. It's a lot easier to migrate an SQL database than a Lotus one, because one is open and people have written code to allow data to be exported.
I have a very simple proposal to insure success in any military campaign: just make all tours of duty accompanied tours, i.e. send families along with the servicemembers, from the highest ranks to the lowest, and also make deployment to a combat zone on the order of a decade or two, not a few months or a year.

I guarantee that any general staff whose wives & children are in the affected area and who will be there for the next decade will figure out how to pacify the region to the level of a Chicago or Detroit.
Sure.

Or Midwestern culture's mix of religosity, conformist individualism and confirmation bias, and the resultant suicide and opioid addiction epidemic.
Reflected light is lost energy. As long as a solar panel looks like a mirror, it is not efficient. When you will see a solar panel that is very dark, then it might be efficient. I think this is what the parent poster is referring to.

I'm not keen on the orange juice analogy either but I do agree with the gist of it.

You ask if a certain task or project can be accomplished and the people who say yes without any hint of a problem are almost certain to be the people who let you down.

The guy who asks for more information and, maybe, presents you with reasons why your project isn't so simple as you thought is much more likely to deliver.
Sorry - I hadn't intended to aim that accusation at you specifically, but at people who are "more of a nation-state target" than Snowden. Poor sentence construction on my part there...

And while I agree with you about animated gifs, I understand WhisperSystems reluctance to try and become the force that turns non-geek non-privacy-activist users (which they and I are hoping will widely adopt Signal) to find WebP or flif or whatever alternatives to giphy or where ever else they're finding their reaction gifs and topical memes and funny cat-riding-a-roomba animations from. That's how a _huge_ percentage of users want to communicate with each other. Moxy is trying to give them a secure way to communicate how they want to, not attempting to force them into new ways of communicating that have boring justifications like "bandwidth saving" or "animation format technical merit" as the only reasons why they can't have vast libraries of funny animations to send their friends... If they can't quickly reply with Ru Paul doing fingersnaps in Signal, they'll go do it on Facebook instead.

For that reason, I'm of the opinion that _not_ supporting animated gifs is significantly more counterproductive, if you're trying to become "the secure messaging mechanism the whole world will use" or if (like me) you'd like more and more personal communication to be exclusively between the participants, and not include advertising networks and data miners and sentiment analysers (and, yeah, law enforcement and government bureaucracy)...

> Vietnam under socialist control turned out to be not anywhere as extreme

Not as extreme as North Korea? No, but even the Soviet Union wasn't as extreme as North Korea. The subjugation of South Vietnam under North Vietnam was pretty brutal though — the Boat People didn't spring from nothing.
I can't read that article.

No, it succeeded in confirming the existence of the Higgs boson. In fact, that's largely the reason Higgs and Englert were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013.
Instead of it being a main fuel source, would only be useful as lubricants, and plastic compounds until hemp is allowed to become popular for manufacturing again.
This is seriously uninformed article with bad assumptions and assertions.

The first assertion author makes is that attacker is resource limited which is a pointless assertion for stack sponsored entities unless cost of attack is astronomical.

The second point author makes is that US elections are highly decentralize for attacks such as hacking electronic systems, making effective attacks very expensive. Again this is completely wrong assumption for two reasons:

(1) attacker doesn't need to hack all of US precincts. Thanks to thin win margins in elections, you just need to flip only few precincts that have been predicted as "middle". Typically these are just 1-5% of total so cost of attack is actually very low and could be targeted with precision for a desired result.

(2) There are only few brands and systems of voting machines and other electronic systems are actually in use. Again, you don't have to hack all of them. Just hack one or two and they might be good enough to slip 1-5% margin you desire. The connection to Internet is irrelevant. There are well known methods to hide malware in firmware drivers that could have been planted by a state sponsored hacker who obtained job at one of these companies making these machines. These kind of malware would be impossible to detect without very extensive reverse engineering. Think about this for a minute: For a cost of less than a million dollar (i.e. compensation for single hacker) you can flip election of entire country. It makes a huge economic sense to any adversarial government.

Overall, hacking political system has shown to have ROI of 10,000% or more and it should make a perfect economic sense to businesses and external governments. You can literally donate just $100K to political candidate and he would pass a law for you that makes your company 10s of millions for many many years. It never ends to surprise me that political donations by commercial entities and ultra-rich is not considered a crime in US. In most other countries they are known as "bribe". Even better, just flipping few of the precincts you can flip entire election in to your favor and you can do it all even legally by precision targeted social media. It's just amazing power to behold on one of the largest and most powerful country.
Not GP but I can expand. Over long periods of use the body develops tolerance to opioids and to get the same level of relief the dose must be increased. This seems to go on forever. Last year I had a patient on 10x what would probably be lethal for me (about 200 times a basic starting dose) and they didn't affect him much at all. He had been on the opiate train for about 30 years.
I just learned of this yesterday. Did you post this because you read ohjeez's comment https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=17721389, or is this purely a coincidence ;)?
Steam has everything which is why I call it the lowest common denominator. Yes it has curation channels but you actually have to go out and find curators who don’t generally have great visibility. And there is little incentive for curation. A boutique store on the other hand makes its money as a curator of taste.
Just checked. Also Mac OSX has Sunset to Sunrise based on location.
Where, in the Netherlands? I can't think of a way to say this that doesn't sound rude, so I'll just say it: how informed is your opinion? Roughly how big a company are we talking? Have you managed security, or managed security managers?

I ask because a long time ago I worked at a multinational that had facilities all over Europe. I'd have remembered if we got pushback from local management on this matter, but then I suppose they always could have been lying about their security programs... there isn't really a good way to audit law enforcement outreach - until something goes wrong.
I have no dog in this fight whatsoever and I'm grateful for the work you are doing with WireGuard, but I would like to remark that at the moment the only mudslinging and accusations in this thread seem to come from yourself.

I know you pre-emptively opted out of backing up your accusations but I'm going to ask anyway because otherwise it just seems like you are spreading FUD. What are the standing security issues and interoperability issues? Also, how has the developer been adversarial in his position? I'd genuinely like to know.
Read his comment again, he listed a bunch of great websites to post on.

Show HN: CanSnippetCE Easily manage your repetitive code, phrases and paragraphs
Hi HN,

I am really happy to announce the new version of canSnippetCE (v2.0.0) today. canSnippet Community Edition is a web-based snippet management tool. It allows you to save and share all the precious pieces of code and text that you often refer to. The whole story started during my PhD when I often needed to get the list of all hexamer sequences (4096 sequences of 6 letters) as a Python array. Instead of writing the function every time in different project or creating limited access functions I was simply copy-pasting these few lines of code to all the scripts that needed this information. I then decided to implement a code snippet manager to make my life easier. Today, I use canSnippet for anything from a single hexstring for colors in CSS to complete functions to repetitive text for emails.

canSnippet CE was born in 2013, followed by a little desktop brother in 2017 (https://cansnippet.com) and a completely new version 2.0.0 coming out today. The main advantage of the desktop version is the ability to use keyboard shortcuts to have your snippets always in your hands.

canSnippet CE is a complete content management system for your repetitive code and text. The main features of canSnippet are as follow:
- easily share your snippets with a unique URL
- multiple user accounts
- syntax highliting
- tag support
- copy the snippet to your clipboard with a button
- rating system
- multiple themes

You can follow the whole project via:
- http://cansnippet.org/
- Github: https://github.com/ademcan/canSnippet
- Twitter: https://twitter.com/cansnippet

Feel free to share and let me know your feedback.

canSnippetly yours :)
zsh is quite fun to use tbh and it's worth the pain of not having it on some remote boxes IMO (and I'm working on getting most of those on zsh via Ansible)
> Didn't the Large Electron-Positron Collider fail to detect evidence of the Higgs Boson?

It didn't produce a negative result. In fact, they were seeing some small hints of something around 114 GeV right as they shut down for the LHC construction.

I've done whiteboard only interviews, as well as shared doc/coderpad only, and I find both limiting. When thinking about the problem, it's great to have a whiteboard to sketch examples etc, but writing code is much easier with a text editor.

Recently I interviewed at Google, and they had no problem fulfilling my request to do both: sketch the solution approach on whiteboard and then write the code with a laptop.
LEP[1] did no such thing, you're talking about the LHC.

Ignoring even that, in the end when he was caught/executed, it was in Pakistan by a small team of operatives.

So in hindsight, why was there an army in Afghanistan? 15/19 of the terrorists involved were former Saudi nationals, so it isn't like the Afghans were obviously churning out radicals.

Whole thing was bizarre.
You keep posting this article, but it has no evidence in it. It links to several papers that tangentially support your claim. Let's look at a different paper that somewhat refutes it:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4032801/

Here's the raw data on prescriptions and outcomes summarized in that paper, built from claims data for 2000–2005:

Opioid Dose and Days Supply
total addiction
No opioid use 371,371 150 (0.04%)
Low dose, acute 90,415 111 (0.12%)
Low dose, chronic 6,902 50 (0.72%)
Medium dose, acute 83,542 101 (0.12%)
Medium dose, chronic 3,654 47 (1.3%)
High dose, acute 12,378 15 (0.12%)
High dose, chronic 378 23 (6%)

So acute opioid doses 3x your risk of addiction, no matter the strength. And long term dosing will 18x to 150x your risk, depending on the strength. Relatively few people are receiving chronic (90+ days) opioid doses, but those that are have a significant risk of addiction.

I'm not the right person to do this analysis properly, but I'd hardly call this "thoroughly debunked"
I love tobacco. It smells wonderful (no, not cigarettes: tobacco itself, as anyone who's ever smelt pipe smoke will confirm). It tastes delicious (albeit not as good as it smells). It feels wonderful. It even cuts down on appetite, which is a plus in this day and age!

I quit smoking for love, but I miss it every time I think of it. Nonsmokers have no idea what they're missing. It's sheer bliss. The sooner we can figure out how to have noncarcinogenic smoke, the better.
Fair point, there's a pretty strong association in pop culture between that kind of science-lab-stock-photo type place and morally questionable scientific experiments.
The only use case I can think of is an extremely constrained environment where bash is the only way of interfacing with it. I tried making a really basic router do some more complicated processing once because I couldn't figure out how to get any other programming environment on it; but later realized it was worth just buying better routers that could be modified... or figuring out how to anyways.

It would be nice if someone could compare these commercially available APIs with Yahoo's open_nsfw model in terms of accuracy: https://github.com/yahoo/open_nsfw

I'm currently building an API wrapper around it and running it on a Hetzner server with a GTX 1080 - prediction takes about 0.25 seconds and while I haven't optimised it for parallel execution, I think it should be able to handle at least +10 images/sec comfortably. I'm also testing video moderation by using ffmpeg to slice the video into screenshots and predicting the min/avg/high scores.

Moderating 25 million explicit images using Google Cloud Vision would cost around $19,500/mo vs €99/mo on Hetzner.
That’s just interviews.

Nope. There was a great submission a few years ago about a guy who applied to two categories of jobs: management and software development.

In the SD roles, everything was oriented toward rejecting him. Any possible "red flag".

In the management roles, the interview was focused on finding areas where he could contribute to the company.

Whiteboard interviews are a problem in and of themselves, and the propagate terrible attitudes into the rest of the interviewing process.
Singapore also hangs first-time drugs offenders, as I recall. I don't know that I'd suggest emulating their laws with respect to a substance.

No the LHC is a Large Hadron Collider, the previous collider was LEP a Large Electron Proton collider. They plan to build a linear electron proton collider similar to SLAC at some point.
> It's a really bad idea to do stock picking, or any other risky investment strategy, with your retirement account, and a really bad idea to promote it. One company goes bust and suddenly you lost your retirement savings. Or your parents did and you'll have to explain them why they'll have to continue working in their 70s and 80s.

Quite bad idea to have all eggs in one account, but with proper diversification the risks are lower.
Obviously, I didn't mean that. Just from a white boarding perspective, that should be enough. Give the applicant a computer and have her implement it.
