The problem with ADHD and friends cause is that my brain actually _doesn't_ fire on all cylinders. While I think I feel the same way as everyone else and I have the same cognitive ability, I don't have the energy to structure my work, complete it and keep track of things in ways other classmates/coworkers magically can.

Cannabis certainly has a calming effect that could lower the hyperactivity component, but it doesn't address the attention deficit part.

The reason the most common treatment are stimulants like Ritalin, is because it "wakes us up" and brings us ADHD people to an alertness level similar to what our peers have by default.
Please explain why so many everyday American’s are now repeating Trump’s lies? It’s certainly not for lack of the media pointing them out. There is just much more to it than that.

I also didn’t see anyone making these arguments when YouTube and other platforms said they were going to target content the helps radicalize Muslims.

There needs to be some middle ground where we can protect those being targeted and protect free-speech.
I'm not sure how far this vulnerability will ever get an attacker because most devices will probably continue to use regular quarts oscillators that aren't sensitive to this like MEMS devices. Apple probably only uses them because they're squeezing every ounce of space and their markups can stand the increased cost of the MEMS vs the quartz/ceramic oscillators.
I think sometimes, not a big deal.

The problem is if you do it to excess. When you would rather stay in and get high, than meet up with friends, drop out of school etc. When you are not living up to what you consider successful for yourself. Then you have a problem.
How Human and Deep Learning Perception Are Very Different
You can use Python in R Notebooks. It is not fully integrated with RStudio, but pertaining just the notebooks, it runs fine.
I see this thread has become a point of interest for many. I wish I could offer some wise advice. But the truth is that I have not done anything special or done any special preparation in my career.

The only thing I have done is learn tech and non-tech stuff. I do it everyday. It is easy for me because I like technology. Computers have been my hobby for a long time. I read a lot of books in all kinds of domains. And I read a lot more for my special domain of interest (distributed systems). So I think this naturally makes me equipped for most kinds of interviews. I do not like solving or reading about puzzles that do not have a relation with real world projects, so I am naturally bad at such kind of interviews.

I am myself not a fan of CTCI. But I think CLRS is a good start. Sorry I don't have better advice than this. Someone else in this awesome forum could be of better help to you.
True, but sometimes it might be if repeating the words of that politician would continually fall into that category.
It has a very mid 00s feel to it, I wonder how old the codebase is.
I've tried it while it was unstable and it was excellent (I remember some random forest training that went from a few days down to half an hour). Since everything was unstable at the time, one update was all it took to break everything. Now that 1.0 is out, I'd definitely like to pick it up again. Unfortunately for my current use cases, the ecosystem just doesn't exist like it does with R or Python.
This. "Then" is also capitalized. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this.
A week ago I had the opportunity to visit a rare book library and view some medieval manuscripts.

One of the ones I handled was just as small as these. A few more were much thicker, but smaller in the other two dimensions.

Unlike these books the text still ran in the "normal" directions, the size of font varied greatly between books, but in the small books mentioned it was generally much smaller than this (and in one small book in particular was easily the smallest font I've ever seen, including on students size restricted cheat sheets).

Of course, the place of books in society back then was very different than their place today, so this isn't actually terrible relevant to the article, but I thought it was an interesting anecdote regardless.

As an aside, if you ever get the chance to view medieval manuscripts, take it. The art in them is absolutely amazing, everything you see in books today simply does not compare.
IFrames create security obstacles, additional requests, take up memory, share CPU threads, and are usually the wrong size.

I also worked with him at Vistaprint and, to be honest, found him to be (appropriately) opinionated but not a pain in the ass. He was one of the good ones, so it's interesting to hear his own lower self-estimation of his time here.
I don't really care what the article says. The CPU clock, or timers really, arel not affected by helium, because the timers are not MEMS devices. The MEMS device which is explicitly for keeping wall clock time, is what is affected by helium.
I bought a 2017 MBA for $800 a couple of months back for my wife and, with all its faults, I think it's a better deal than the new 2018 MBA.

Other than the outdated display, performance is perfectly adequate, and battery/trackpad/keyboard/SSD speed/ports are still doing great.

You're right, it's a matter of values.

Banal: Overeating/overdrinking/overconsuming, sitting around, reading reddit/HN for hours, playing video games or twitch.

Not banal: Challenging yourself to new activities or hobbies that require skill. Seeing the world, interacting with other people IRL. Learning (new topics, reading, etc). Building things. Getting out of your comfort zone.

Essentially, being passive/not learning/not engaging vs. learning/challenging oneself and trying to be more than you are.

Heavy taxing and regulation will be (and is) a boon to the cannabis black market. In my state (MA), cannabis was legalized, but individual towns are preventing recreational shops from opening. The result? A booming, home-grown cannabis market.
Not getting 8 cores (or more) for that price is ridiculous.
One of the things that makes research "basic research" is that there isn't an obvious financial incentive for it. IBM, AT&T and Xerox at the height if their monopolies could afford to do some, but in general it's a financial loss on the timescale of a human or a corporation.

But what we see sometimes (alternative energy, drug research, e.g.) is government funding of applied research, and that isn't good for the market or the science, and should be called out.
To clarify, I mean that the old wisdom that you can only buy if you can put 20% down does not apply in the same sense that it is voices.

50% down is wonderful! But it's likely most engineers would be unable to manage that. The same is true of all-cash.

5% or 10% down is workable, and finding loans compatible with that will not be difficult if you are willing to work lenders familiar with local market conditions. PMI will generally be required, but it isn't likely to be nearly as expensive as people might expect (think 0.5%-1% of total loan amount). Further, odds are against our hypothetical engineer being able to work up a 20% downpayment on a property they want in a short enough timeframe that it does not appreciate out of reach. Finally, the people resting their dreams of homeownership on a major property price crash in the Bay to afford a 20% downpayment should not be emulated, as they are banking on an unlikely event and assuming they will be correctly positioned to take advantage.

In short, high recurring cashflow can reasonably be used to make up for a comparatively low amount of liquid cash, and this is often preferable to the other options people might choose to pursue.

Knowing what people put down with any certainty is not something I am able to do. I can just say that the old wisdom is sufficiently dated that it should be ignored by prospective homebuyers in the Bay.
This is how I know it from Germany but in the US most contractors seem to make less than employees.
I agree that that quote is giving way too broad a description of reddit at any point in time, but I'm surprised you've been able to use reddit for so long and avoid any brush-ins with its nasty underbelly. The r/FatPeopleHate banning and subsequent hounding of Ellen Pao was only the most recent fracas I remember. And this is coming from someone who uses reddit as you do: an aggregator of niche interest discussion with some neat image/video subs sprinkled in.

Even going back to the violentacrez/JB scandal, reddit dragged its feet for quite a long time on removing the most offensive content & subreddits from the platform. Today they're a bit more responsive to this, likely due to reddit's more mainstream popularity and media coverage. Still, there's quite a lot of hate that festers on the platform. Whether or not reddit wants to be more active about it is of course up to them, and will take balancing of their leadership's philosophy with what their advertisers and users expect. At the very least, there is some evidence that banning the problem sections of the website reduces hate speech on the platform.

Hey! Thanks for responding to this thread. Because you have moved from Principal Engineer to Dev Manager position I want to know how the experience has been.

I have remained in Principal Engineer role and do not want to climb the ladder further because I don't think I can take the meeting load of management role.

What do you think about your role? Do you enjoy being Dev Manager more than Principal Engineer? Does it provide faster growth (designation and money wise)?
Exactly!

My study strategy in college was to review my notes for about an hour, take a bong hit, and watch a movie. Then I would get a great night sleep.

Otherwise, test anxiety would keep me awake and do more harm than good.

The best engineers are likely not using that. Most of them get burned, and you're mostly left with engineers that are reallly good at marketing. I could be wrong. I tried it for a few months. I only got one question, and I basically helped a guy understand docker for free during the evaluation. I guess someone needs to start an upwork for serious people.
Good luck finding a single person on a developed country who fits this description. If anything, people with incredible drive lean on government assistance the most (e.g. Elon Musk and his two heavily-subsidized companies), because they know how to find leverage to accomplish their goals.
Indeed. Since Apple controls the full hardware and software stack, it's not surprising that they are making their own security chip without any of the ugly downsides of TPM (TPM has more complex interfaces and logic that try to cover a broader set of use cases than what Apple support). As another upside, they are also not reliant on any supplier code for the chip.
Why waste human time on what can be done by a machine?
>There are some books that are, in my opinion, best read in physical format -- generally old books, because there's more than just the words to add to the story (feel, smell, etc).

So those books were worse when they were published because they didn't have that old book smell and feel?

I run my unit and integration tests with every build, and they reproducibly pass if my code is working. If you have code, it doesn't take much to make it able to run again and get the same result, and it's frustrating to see Jupyter users mess it up.
This brings to my mind Isaac Arthur's lecture "Civilizations at the End of Time: Iron Stars" [1]. He posits that a Kardashev Scale 3 civilization might use a galactic black hole to survive 10^100 entropic years of what he calls the "Black Hole Epoch". Hearing about this possible giant blob of plasma orbiting our galactic black hole makes me wonder if he and his team can come up with plausible explanations that the plasma is actually some construct of such a civilization, like perhaps a "construction site generator" as they're building their "bunker against entropic time" amongst the black hole.

The really neat part of the lecture is towards the end, in his description of time winding down into thermodynamic equilibirum, a Boltzmann Brain fluctuating out of the equilibrium's randomness, and restarting the universe with another Big Bang. That's fascinatingly close to universe origin stories in Abrahamic religions, and echoes Hindu religious cosmological cyclicality. One aspect I didn't see touched upon is the possibility that our universe and we are simulations inside that Boltzmann Brain. And then there are the arguments that we do not want Boltzmann Brains [2].

Now if only the religious adherents in all our nations duking it out against other humans for not having the "right" religion could turn their cognitive surplus (poured into their religion) outwards to helping illuminate more upon these near-metaphysical physics challenges, we might actually get somewhere. After all, our best guess at the moment is we're halfway out of time in the universe.

From the next paragraph:

In other experiments, however, they used an ordinary digital camera. Because of a quirk in the design of most cameras’ sensors, the researchers were able to infer information about high-frequency vibrations even from video recorded at a standard 60 frames per second.

Experienced the same, and these services just kept hoping through the teams.

And why is it so hard in Amazon to know if someone is using a service? At one point our manager asked us to shut down a service to see if someone was using it.

Author/creator here, happy to answer any questions.
Well, same can be said about watching television, playing games or staring at your phone.

Now, if there is no adverse health issue other than making you a little dumber, shouldn't we also ban a host of other habits that cause just a bit of harm to you? What about eating sweets that may give you a bit of pleasure but are also unhealthy if ingested regularly? What about driving car to cinema when you could watch the movie in safety of your home without causing pollution or risking getting your kids in an accident?

Or maybe, just maybe, the freedom is value in itself and we should allow people to make decisions even if they are not optimal for themselves and for others who may have to chip in to pay for somebody elses mistakes?
This is typical. Company does something dangerous, makes $X in profit. Pays 1% of $X in fines or legal. Certain politicians call for tort reform. Then the company does it again.

It being an app, downloaded from a moderated app store (albeit not a very well moderated one) rules out an entire class of attacks (phishing), which make up a large portion of online banking attacks.

This alone is probably a decent competitive edge over traditional banks.
"Everyone I know"

Can we just ... not? Everyone I know who consumes cannabis on a regular basis is very successful, smart and thoughtful ... now what?
So then actually you're just talking about the average, right? If that's the case, then I think it's a bit harder to justify that cannabis use is the cause of those symptoms and not an effect of them.

This is not even a close comparison. In one case the owner is providing a space at no cost to users where they have many choices.

In the other, a company is proving you a connection to the network and nothing more, but in exchange for payment and often with no other choices.
I think the tension here is that Lua also wants to be a low-overhead-implementation scripting language to interface with the innards of binary applications, much like its role in Wireshark. And for that role, 1-based indexing was a disastrously bad choice.

I can't understand why people still bother with physical books anymore, other than not having a good enough device or the book isn't available digitally.

We spend a lot of our time reading long-form content online already; there's no reason books should be any different. People come up with reasoning based on the feel of pages turning and the like, but I don't buy it.

This move feels like a gimmick to me.

I imagine physical books will become completely obsolete and go out of style within the next decade or two.
These are the kind of honest explanations for drugs that we need more of. Most people that do heroin don't become prostitutes to fund the habit. But once you've done it, no matter what happens in your life, it's not as good as that time you did heroin in your friends basement. And that's really sad.

edit: I'm being rightfully called out. I haven't done heroin and didn't mean to authoritatively say that there is only one realistic outcome. I only meant that painting the picture of drugs completely ruining your entire life isn't accurate, we all know very successful people that regularly do drugs.
That seems a little hyperbolic. Jazelle DBX is an example of "optimized for X language".

This instruction disproportionately helps dynamic languages that convert between int and float (of which JS is definitely most popular), but basically every program that does casting from float to int stands to benefit. That's much better design in my opinion.

>Technically speaking, Amazon’s shareholders are people too

This is a vacuous truth. Technically, everything is people, governments are people, repressive megacorps are people, oil sheiks are people. Obviously that's not what the grandparent meant.
I've set my parents up with a Fire Stick with Netflix, Sling, Prime, etc.. But the internet in their area isn't that good and the streams cut out frequently. I live 3 hours away and have FIOS, so I typically don't run into issues on my end and can't easily drop by to troubleshoot. It's a hard sell when they are used to always being able to turn on the TV and have something to watch without the frustrations of network issues.

Out of curiosity and a bit of jealousy :-) What is the programming field companies are willing to give MM of RSU to programmers? Do you really make a difference to their top line? I had the impression that it’s more the project management and business development that can justify that compensation.
"Permanent" implies that you'd have to look at people who did pot a while ago and then stopped. This data (and any data on current users) is consistent with the alternative hypothesis that the changes are temporary and will revert after ceasing use.
That's true, the least significant bits of a png encoding of a photograph could be effectively random (if the photo had high noise) and could be replaced with random looking data.
Are you sure about that? I could swear when I was running Arch the DE was using my Intel GPU. I used either optirun or primusrun to use the Nvidia GPU. Granted, it was a pain to setup and I never could figure out why HDMI connected to a monitor would not work but was fine with a TV.
> Pediatric neurology and neurology are different specialties in medicine because developing brains are very different from adult brains.

One example is in cholonergic neurons in the pre-frontal cortex. Pre-puberty, they are inhibitory, and post-puberty they are excitatory; it's a fair bit of a change in a very complicated system. Though I can't find that citation right now, there is a good-ish overview of the changes in the pre and post-pubescent neuroanatomy here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5283387/

There is some evidence, in terms of THC, of effects on the growth of mossy climbing fiber neurons and retardation of climbing onset in adolescents. Again, though, I can't find that citation right now. Maybe I need more of the stimulant caffeine? ;)
