>Now, what are the chances of similar 5 teens stop using weed for health/mental problems?

I did. I recognized immediately on the first episode that something was wrong, I had a serious trip at the age of 18 where I was experiencing extremely high paranoia and psychosis to the point where I tried to get to the hospital, made worse by the fact it was illegal at the time so my friends stopped me, increasing the paranoia. It took me another bad experience to realise it was me, not the drug because my friends were fine. I didn't smoke for 20 years and only very carefully started again and now I can, but very very small doses and only when I'm out doing something. I'm a woman and what I went through wasn't so rare for my other friends, women and men. It didn't have any rhyme nor reason who it struck. But most of us stopped eventually, then we went on to our successful lives.

It's between RAM and SSD. Much closer to RAM speeds but data persists after turning off power. Biggest advantage over just being a faster disk is that it's byte-addressable random access like memory, so you don't have to deal with writing pages/blocks to drives.

The throughput and latency is fast enough that many apps can skip using memory and work straight from this. We already see this in some mobile devices that only have solid state and instant boot times because the data is always ready, with no need to shift from disk to ram.

It'll be awhile before OS and applications take advantage but it has potential to be a major shift in how storage works.
It's missing information because the readers don't need to make a decision, and no one involved wants their private lives pried in to any further. It's fine.
The reason is the battery. These devices can be powered off and save state, like an SSD.

I recommend reading this article. The problem he is solving is representing text in ASCII. For example an e with an accent can be replaced with a plain e. But what about languages not using the base Roman alphabet? You get a fascinating tour of Divehi and the final result - the unidecode module - works rather well.

I know exactly how I feel about this: Gross!

Telling someone that's interviewing "you should come to burning man because my wife and I are swingers" is gross and inappropriate (borderline illegal?).

If you're inclined to ask someone who you were interviewing for a job to come do sex to you and your wife, I think it's a very reasonable expectation that you confirm this person is aware they have not gotten the job. Doubly so when you're an executive of one of the largest companies in the world. Seems like this is extremely poor judgement at best, and abuse of his position/the implication of a job at worst.

You can change the text justification too. Every printed book I've seen is full-justified, which is is IMO the worst option. You get uneven spacing between words, no visual cues for vertical position along the right edge, and words unnecessarily split up with hyphens. I much prefer left-justified text.
My answers only reflect my own opinions as a long time Lisper and Scheme user. Other's mileage may differ.

1. Yes, more or less. LISP used to be superior to everything else but modern languages have caught up in most areas. LISP still has a few special tricks like MOP in CL, macros, dynamic loading of code, resumable exceptions, but these are rarely needed in everyday programming.

2. No, not at all. Neither CL nor Racket nor any other mature LISP and Scheme dialects are simple to use and easy to learn. They have long-steep learning curves, especially idiomatic CL. The syntax is somewhat simple if you ignore special reader extensions, but that's irrelevant. CL is a large language, you need to learn both imperative and functional programming techniques, and then there are tons of libraries and conventions to learn.

3. Yes, I would say. LISP is incredibly powerful in the hand of one hacker who really knows the system. You will get awesome results very fast and can do things that would be really hard in other languages. It also encourages high level abstractions like no other language I've ever seen. But the main disadvantage of LISP is maintainability. It may be hard to even understand your own code a year or two later, let alone that by other people. Everybody has his own stile and every larger program will create a DSL you have to learn in order to understand what it does.
Working with kids, I actually see parents purchasing middle schoolers MacBooks over MacBook Airs. As the kids enter high school, they often opt for the MacBook Air over the pros. I suspect as they get into college, they'll end up with the MacBook Pro.
I had to install fonts-ancient-scripts in Debian.
I bought a 9343 XPS 13 on release and it was horrible. Overtime it got better, but on first boot here is a list of issues it had:

* Resume from suspend didn't work and often left machines in an usable state. Relatively simple workaround was to disable suspend but definitely caught you off guard the first couple times.

* Keyboard would insert multiple characters per key press. This made the machine unusable without an external keyboard.

* There was a null pointer issue in the WiFi driver so if you were connected to WiFi but tried to switch networks it would trigger a full blown kernel panic. Workaround was to buy a USB -> Ethernet adapter so you could line in your network.

* Track pad issues to the point that the laptop required an external mouse.

I don't know if I remember all of the issues, but you can dig through the Dell Sputnik forum to find all sorts of old forum posts about issues...here is one from my own post history:

https://www.dell.com/community/Linux-Developer-Systems/Vario...

I spent a lot of time reporting, debugging, fixing, and helping other users try to fix issues in the early days.

In Dell's defense, they upstreamed the fixes so fixing a lot of the issues like resume from suspend and the keyboard was as simple as updating kernels. Additionally, the null pointer WiFi driver bug was fixed in a subsequent driver release.

But these changes didn't get included until several kernel releases later and the only way to unbrick/make the laptop usable was to hotfix/upgrade your kernel to an unstable version. But for a $1500+ laptop to come out of the box in an unusable state was extremely painful for early adopters. And I would say that my experience was far from perfect.

Sounds like they have improved greatly and I am still a tremendous supporter of the Sputnik effort at Dell (and overall fan)...but I (personally) wouldn't dismiss people's comments about it being imperfect.

This isn’t muddy at all. If someone invites me somewhere after an interview, I assume (as a man) it’s work related. Women should be able to make the same assumption. And interviewers should never be sexually propositioning candidates.

That's what car manufacturers are selling.
Why Bolsonaro Won Brazil's Presidency in a Landslide
I had a huge digital audio collection of mp3's and various lossy and lossless formats, but last year I burned the ZFS raid with the collection by accident. After several month of grieving, i decided to rebuild my collection, but this time using physical media - CD's, vinyl records, cassette and reel-to-reel tapes.

It was a revelation. I found it so liberating to be able to listen to music "unplugged". I can get home from work, put on a record or cd and listen to music without having to open the laptop or mess with the phone.

It also changed the way I listen to music - no skipping tracks, listen to the whole album start to finish. I found that I missed out on a lot of music when I just skipped thru an album because I didn't like the first 2 bars.

> They're a nightmare to program because OSes do not have a good abstraction for them (at least not yet).

With DAX[0] linux already has the ability to put a filesystem (currently ext4 and xfs) on NVDIMMS and then let userspace address them through mmap while skipping the page cache indirection. I.e. you're directly byte-addressing them through the memory controller via standard memory-mapped file abstractions. Direct block device mapping of nvdimms without filesystem is also possible.

Very interesting article. In the end, I was a bit confused on how you converted the binomial regression to a single number. I understood that the output was a probability that I know each of the 10,000 items, so then did you need to use some cutoff to decide that I "knew it"?

To clarify, the reason I prefer nodejs (for web apps) over clojure these days is the vast amount of libs and documentation for almost all your needs. Clojure has the java ecosystem, but it was very tedious (more cognitive load) investing lots of time doing interop instead of just focusing on the problem at hand. Interop is both a feature and a curse.

Of course, as a language I find Clojure superior in almost every way compared to JS.
