It all depends on your machine model. You're right in that the RAM model doesn't model the performance characteristics of real-world computers very precisely. That's why it's a model :) Other models exist that can be used to analyse various aspects of algorithms, e.g. the External Memory model (which can be applied to any level of the memory hierarchy, e.g. to quantify data transfer between cache and RAM). Or you can count the number of hard-to-predict branches, etc.

We almost always assume that a machine word is large enough to describe the input size n. This usually implies constant-time operations on log(n) bits. Not doing so would clutter up notation and complicate analysis, and the whole point of using models is avoiding that where reasonably possible.

I mean you could take this thinking to the extreme and say that as we live in three-dimensional space, the wire length to access more and more memory has to grow at least with the cube root of the size of the memory, because that memory needs to physically be stored somewhere at the end of the day. That's not helpful for analysing algorithms, though :)

Have you ruled out the inattentive ADHD variant? It generally doesn't come with the impulsive hyperactivity that normal ADHD comes with. People with it are generally able to focus on activities that are highly stimulating for them (often obsessively), but have a hard time focusing attention on less stimulating activities.

Not to mention that a society with more violence/unrest (for whatever reason) may be less likely to have a government with a functioning regulatory system, i.e. unrest may cause gasoline to remain leaded rather than the other way around.
Can things have multi-factor causes?

It seems plausible that high environmental lead levels contribute (with at least a small effect size) to violence and crime.

If a lead-free environment is already violent and insecure, would you expect adding environmental lead to make it less violent, more violent, or the same?

In Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise, Ericsson had chess grandmasters look chess boards of real games, and they could recreate the board in a pretty short fashion.

But when they took chess boards of randomly placed pieces, they could not remember the placement of pieces any better than a random group of people.

The idea is that through practice, you develop the ability pattern match and chunk together the data into more cohesive blocks, and memory fewer of these blocks.

The rough analogy in software is to take a quick look at some code and recognize the design patterns, and remember the design patterns used rather each individual character.

In fact, words are a form of chunking -- we don't remember hundreds of character sequences, but we remember the words instead.

There is one more thing. When RosKomNadzor blocks an IP address, it states the reason for doing that. If you look at IP addresses of Telegram proxies, for example here [1] you'll see that the reason for blocking is not a court decision (which ordered to block Telegram). The stated reason is an order from Prosecutor's Office.

But when the Russian company filed an action against RKN, the Prosecutor's Office representative said that they didin't order to block unrelated IP addresses; it was RKN's own decision [2] [3]. And this is not according to the law. Doing everything according to the law would be too slow.

Dropbox’s IGNITE Engineering Apprentice Program
Ask HN: How do I fix the problem of not wanting to know new people?
I'm in my mid-late 30's and for my age I don't really know a lot of people very well.

While I've worked on-and-off for 11 years in a career, I'm about as capable as a typical new graduate when it comes to relying on my network for jobs. And I'm just as financially dependent as a typical new grad (aside from the fact I have no college debt, I'm thankful for that).

They say networking is key, but after graduation, I have trouble being genuinely invested or interested in meeting people. This seems like a big problem to me. Other software professionals my age are getting by with steady jobs and a network of people to pass the word along, and I don't have that.

I have a small group of close friends, the ones I'd be fine eating out with, drinking or playing video games together. However, they are clueless about the industry I work in (software development) and do not work in fields related to it. They come up empty-handed for referrals or job leads.

Same goes for my entire family. They're mostly a family of first-gen immigrants who don't really know how the white-collar world works.

And the professionals I work with, or find in tech meetups, they know the industry well, but I have trouble being genuinely interested them as people. So of course they'd be annoyed when I message them out of the blue after years of not talking to ask a favor from them.

So it's a frustrating situation... the friends that I am close with, at the same time, are not people that could put my name out there for jobs and vetting me for interviews.

Why am I disinterested in being friendly with professionals? How can I solve this problem so I don't go struggling through life without a professional support group?
I would recommend basing your frontend "investment" around webpack. It's the common denominator that all the frontend frameworks use, and while it's fairly complex, it's complexity that only needs to be learnt once, and unlocks a lot of powerful functionality.

The frameworks themselves aren't that difficult to learn. Since Angular 2, they all work in a pretty similar way...

There are VC firms that can help you work on an H1B, or even make you an employee in the short term. There's also programs in MA where an university can employ you on an H1B and let you work on your startup. I believe UMass Boston's VDC program is one. OPT is a completely valid option too (source: know a ton of people who have used this and have extensively spoken to attorneys about it)
But for instance in a world where horizontal scalability is almost a given, we have to allow that the cost of sending a message between 2 arbitrary servers is going to be at least log(n) time, because if you build a star topology your entire server room would be wires.

So if you're doing a distributed hash, the base cost of fetching two values to compare them is not only nothing to sneeze at, it is probably fundamental to how you solve the problem.

That sounds like a failure of a language to me. When you have to create long ugly hacks to work around the language's limitations, then it's not working for you but against you. I've been writing in Objective-C ever since abandoning Swift 2 and so far I've only really ever heard people say they're having this or that major difficulty with Swift, so it makes me feel like it was the right thing to do to avoid getting heavily invested in Swift.
Exactly. It’s JS and not HTML.

Because in JS that attribute/property is `className`. Because `class` is a reserved name in JS.

Same goes for `htmlFor`, for example. So now you will have a situation where all props directly correspond to DOM APIs, and one prop that isn’t. A strange choice given how the stated goal is to be more consistent with DOM APIs.
Sounds like it's time for the next development paradigm, blitzing. It's like agile, except instead of standup there's spinup, where everyone has to pedal as fast as they can on a stationary bike while giving a status update.

I don't think you really need Helm explicitly for this (though you could make use of it if you're using it for other things).

The standard Emacs function for prompting for data with autocomplete is completing-read. You could build an elisp function that prompts for the name of a wiki file with completing-read, and then visits it. The autocompletion will be provided by whatever package you have configured globally - be it Helm, or Ivy, or something else.

A quick example how I started using this feature - I have my half-done invoicing system (for turning time clocked on org-mode tasks into PDF invoices). An entry point to invoicing a customer may look like this:

(defun invoice-customer (customer-name)
(interactive (customers--completing-read-customer))
;; TODO Create an org document containing the invoice table and link.
(message "Invoicing %s" customer-name))

Note that the "interactive" declaration has a function call in it. Now the completing-read call:

(defun customers--completing-read-customer ()
"To be used as a value of `INTERACTIVE' declaration for functions that need to read a customer value."
(list (completing-read "Customer: " (mapcar #'car *customers/customers*) nil t nil nil *customers/current-customer*)))

There's a bunch of parameters to completing-read, but at a glance you can see the prompt ("Customer: "), code generating a list of entries (I'm doing a mapcar over customer database; you might want to do a mapcar over a call to directory-files), and an optional default value.

Or, instead of all that, you can do what I actually do for the wiki - bookmark the wiki folder itself (with C-x r m in a dired buffer), and use C-x r b foldername to jump to it, and use incremental search in the resulting dired buffer to find the entry you need.
I went back to school when I was 28 and graduated when I turned 30. The cost of school is insane now, but otherwise I have no regrets. I actually could have conversations with my professors based on my professional experience, so it felt a bit more engaging to me.

But I also always felt like I was behind, because it was kind of assumed that I still had knowledge from when I took classes years ago fresh in my head, and that was far from the case, so I generally felt like I was playing catch-up the whole time.

This was undergrad by the way. Due to not being willing to take student loans I dropped out of college after my first couple of years because I couldn't afford to keep going. If I knew now what I knew then, I would have just taken the loans. Tuition shot up like crazy after 8 years away.
> Does it also bother you that the hysteria over Russia’s “guilt” is shamefully hypocritical and misleading?

No. I don't like US imperialism and am ashamed of much of its actions. I also don't like your condescending and leading manner.

> Even if Russia is guilty of everything the hysterical and disingenuous Russiagate crowd alleges

What is alleged is that the President of the United States and the GOP is effectively owned by Putin. We don't have all the evidence in front of us, but what has been laid out is compelling to those that are willing to consider the known facts.

No. There's plenty more there but you seem to be bent on distraction rather than dialogue.

Yes, it's very disconcerting to be dealing with the possible coup of the my country and be told "you lost, get over it". It's beyond insulting and I won't waste your time further in making you read something you have no intention of hearing.
It’s definitely the only reason leaded fuel is still being burned.

You're asking leading questions but they don't really...seem to lead anywhere.

You suggested x86 assembly was more useful to learn than ARM or AVR ("AVR or ARM assembly are far less handy to know than x86"), but provided no justification for that claim - and yet seem to be extremely demanding on similar claims of others.

So what's your situation? Are you claiming that it's typical?

The logic of: "desktop CPUs are rarely coded in assembly, embedded CPUs are absolutely everywhere and often coded in assembly, the latter assembly languages are more useful to know" is extremely obvious and straightforward. I can't make sense of your opposition to it, especially since you've given absolutely no substance to back up your contrarian position.

So, I've only used react indirectly via Clojurescript and https://github.com/tonsky/rum for a personal project... I don't spend much time in the front-end otherwise, but every time I read something about using React from JS as one would regularly it feels much, much more complicated. I.e. I just write functions that return hiccup-html lists, and @decorate a cursor into my immutable state structure for reactive updates, and that's pretty much all there is to it, apart from a few event handlers and decorations to do special DOM pre/post wrangling for odd cases.

Could someone having experience with Rum or other Clojurescript React bindings, but a better understanding of React coming from more JS like languages chime in with their experience?
In linguistics, there's a classic principle "You shall know a word by the company it keeps" (Firth, J. R. 1957) - colocations (a sequence of words or terms that co-occur more often than would be expected by chance) are very informative about what a word means.
A wide variety of factors contributed to the decline in crime. The world is complicated. The interesting thing about the lead theory is that research has found effects far larger than anyone would have expected intuitively.

There is an episode of Chef's Table on Netflix dealing with the same effect on Russia's cuisine, and how this chef was trying to resurrect all sorts of traditional Russian dishes which had in effect been lost for 80 years because they were seen as too bourgeoisie. It incidentally also went into how the Western sanctions against Russia had only strengthened his project, because it led to an ersatz locavore movement and forced him to use Russian-available ingredients. For example, he tries to use only honey instead of sugar, because the latter wasn't really present historically in Russia.

I find it quite interesting how much of the public face of React that Dan Abramov has become. I really like the openness with which he speaks via his blog, but it feels like all the important React announcements come through him and I'm sure there must be some other very senior FB developers who created React before he arrived who might not be so happy.
It's not necessarily independent thinking. He hates the DNC (as a progressive, I don't like them either).

The way Greenwald has framed it as "The DNC is corrupt and they're looking for scapegoats" -- it dismisses the possibility without showing any reason to do so.

Self-publishing is ridiculously uncommon, and it's just silly to argue that the small amount of large works that succeeded through self-publishing somehow diminishes the immense power and size of large publishing houses (for movies and books -- there is more self-published music these days). I can't even think of a recent example of a popular book or movie that was self-published ('The Martian' was written in public independently but the books were obviously printed by a single publisher).

> I specifically said my lifetime. An average work might be covered for two generations. Not a big deal.

The average lifetime is more like 5-6 generations (each generation being maybe 15 years). I disagree it isn't a big deal, and I also very much disagree that it's fine if Shakespeare didn't exist because his works were derivative.

> 50 Shades of Gray started as Twilight fan-fiction.

The work '50 Shades of Gray' has absolutely nothing in common with 'Twilight', despite it's history. Not to mention that the author probably got permission of some sort. Shakespeare's plays were far more significant mash-ups of previous stories and works (with changes obviously, but nowhere near as many changes as the two works you mentioned).

> At no point did I ever say or imply anything of the sort!

Yes you did. From your original comment:

> If I create original work, I want to profit off it for my life.

If you have a guaranteed profit source for the rest of your life, what reasonable person would ever find a need to make more works (there's no point in getting more money if you already have whatever you need)? The point of copyright is to incentivise the creation of new works -- which is the precise reason why it is limited in every country on Earth (and was even more limited in the Statute of Anne). Having a limit to any reasonable person is equivalent to unlimited (since once your dead, there's no profit motive any more) has the same effect of removing the incentive for more works.

If you don't believe that the purpose of copyright is to incentise new works, read the US constitution (I imagine you're in the US) or whatever copyright law is applicable in your country.
