The battery life is still good, although I switched to a different phone in early 2017 and have only used the Meizu as a secondary handset since then.

It came with Ubuntu pre-installed. I believe that the pre-installed Ubuntu ones have an unlocked bootloader, so you can put whatever you want on it as long as it's compatible. I know that a few people got CyanogenMod working.

I currently have Android Flyme on it, which is the standard Meizu OS that comes with the normal version of the phone. It's really good, but I would say lacking in security. I use it as a 'dirty' phone, for connecting to public Wi-Fi and insecure stuff like that, so I don't have anything confidential or important on there, and I never sign-in to things in the browser or apps.
Thinking about the Bertrand Russell quote: "Drunkenness is temporary suicide", and wondering about the correlation between ~70k drug related deaths per year and this topics ~40k suicides per year. Would suicides increase if the easy access to palliatives would be stopped? Or would they decrease because it may be the drugs themselves that drags people down? I assume that the latter happens, but it seems to me that there's a root cause there before the heavy drugs exacerbates it.
marketing is to find a customer with a problem for the solution that you already developed.

serving the customer happens after they are found, to adapt your solution to the actual problem the customer has.
Sure. And then I would steal all the money back at the first opportunity because they are deliberately offloading their externalities onto everyone else and have been doing so since forever. They should be treated as they have historically treated others.
I want to ship complete code ASAP.

However, I would allow for refactoring that deletes large swaths of code. This keeps the codebase lean and maintenance low — so that you can keep up the fast pace.
I searched the page for proxying and tunneling, neither of which is discussed. I'm sure switching to UDP will have dramatic consequences for these features.
iPads don't have "desktops", so no. That said, if you have two apps open side-by-side, Mission Control (double-tap home/four finger swipe up/drag up from bottom) remembers this and keeps the two apps together until you separate them.

As for keyboards, you can use any Bluetooth keyboard with any iOS device. That said, the keyboards made for the Smart Connector are quite nice — just not the first generation Smart Keyboard because the case is too flexible to use on a lap.
T480s with WQHD display is only available online, or though campus programmes. Retailers only offer less bright FHD display.
I like Clean Architecture. There is a particularly annoying, but powerful piece: the Presenter. While it makes for some awkward code, it does separate concerns.

The controller has a use case, which is the business logic, injected into it. The controller also has the Presenter injected into it. The controller invokes like so: UseCase.execute(input, Presenter).

The use case does its thing. Then calls presenter.present(ResultData). The presenter can be responsible for creating the actual response on the wire. It is also responsible for getting data from the database for lists, and other UI features. Finally, the Presenter invokes whatever machinations are required write update the client. In the case of HTML, the presenter knows which template to invoke. In JSON, just serialize the output.

What's awkward about it is the .present when in failure, which in Go is all the time.

if err != nil {
presenter.present(FailureStruct)
return
}

This is repeated all over the place. That return is important. Since the result is not returned from the UseCase, getting this wrong could lead to failure.

In my code, the Unit of Work is managed by two entities: the controller and the presenter. The controller gets everything warmed up. The presenter knows when all the data calls complete. If the presenter is for an HTML page that needs to get data, the presenter is essentially a micro controller that couples the use case to the view.

All of this is tucked away nicely. The domain gets to drive a lot. Everything is testable since the presenter is

type CreateUserPresenter interface {
present(Output)
}

Interfaces for everyone. Use Case has interfaces for the domain repositories it needs. Controller gets injected, or in my case calls a factory, the use case and presenter.

Things are actually decoupled. No more transaction scripts spread across multiple thinly veiled layers.

It would actually surprise me if any university had the ability to impose an overall bias in one of those directions over the other. There would seem to be too much variation among the individual professors, teachers, students, etc.

Anecdotally, I live in the shadow of a Big Ten university, so I know a lot of academics, and I don't think any of them have expressed a "follow the rules" approach that I was able to discern. Likewise for the people I know who are K-12 teachers, private music teachers, and so forth.

This is not true for all jobs, but for some jobs it’s much easier to find people who are smart, creative, and passionate and teach them some programming skills than the other way around. Also, I had been teaching myself coding since high school, so I had skills.
I assume this won't ever hit the market at the promised performance and cost. In the past decade or so we've been inundated with hundreds of stories, maybe thousands, about new solar breakthroughs and they never come to pass. The same is true of all the battery "breakthroughs". For some reason this stuff is never commercially viable. I wish I understood why.

Thanks for the links. The RAND paper is really good; the Reuters article less so. While your summary seems true, I think a better summary might be "despite many studies, none have found evidence for a full substitution effect". That is, in studies that show a drop in firearm suicides, there is almost always a drop in overall suicide rates as well. The degree to which changing from an existing lax gun control regime to a stricter one results in a lower firearm suicide rate is harder to establish, but in at least some cases for some populations it's probably a positive effect.

Ask HN: Whitepaper v Academic Paper: What’s the best way to share breakthroughs?
Hey HN,

I’m a graduate student and I’ve been working on an interesting side project: building brain inspired modular neural nets. I’m not doing this under the purview of a professor, but there are some interesting preliminary results.

Generally, is it the sort of thing I should just share as a White paper or try to formally publish. Or should I just share a blog post about it
I really think the US should require all college grads to spend a year overseas in a country that speaks a different language.

First off, note that Lisp OSes were made before modern cybersecurity was a concept.

Since everything was Lisp all the way down, and Lisp is a very dynamic language, all calls that comprise the OS are available as plain function calls visible to the interactive REPL, introspection, and modification. They were very developer-oriented and had lots of ways to have live displays of objects, to reuse or interact with them, and very deep debugger and documentation integration, since all code was at the same "level".

Since it's a high level language that does not expose low level memory (although certainly there are obscure implementation-specific Lisp operations for doing so used deep in the guts), corruption of memory at a low crashy level isn't generally a thing. Protections between applications/processes aren't as necessary and it can all remain plain running threads & functions interacting with each other & the OS.
Don't forget political will to disregard the consequences and externalities of such drilling practices.
A computer science degree really doesn't teach any deep systems knowledge. It's a rather broad survey of operating systems, data structures, algorithms, machine architectures, and programming languages. An undergrad with a CS degree will have a lot to learn about developing software. A CS degree is probably most useful to identify people who are interested enough in computers and software to have stuck with it for 4 years.
Indeed, because the barrier becomes lower. It's common in interaction design to purposefully guard a certain action with more clicks/steps in order to reduce the likelihood of the action being overused or abused. It appears to work for websites, for example HN makes you click the timestamp if you want to flag a comment, which likely deters knee-jerk flags.
It's pretty awesome, but it's lacking a few very important things. The first I noticed was that it has no support for saving and loading shared object libraries (SOL's), which are what pretty much every flash game used to save data between sessions. They're pretty much 'Flash cookies.'

Also, it, like pretty much every other project except lightspark, doesn't seem to implement much of AVM2/ActionScript 3, which the "last generation" of flashes mostly used.
Lightspark supports more of it, but still has severe rendering issues.
> I've honestly never heard anyone say that outside of movies and tv.

I think that's part of the problem: Most of the people I'm talking to aren't doing a serious pro/con or staking out their future earnings based on their majors[1], or doing a serious evaluation of whether or not they come from a background that can afford such a posh take. Yet they are still repeating things they've essentially heard on movies and TV, probably to their detriment.

> most people are going to college nowadays for a better career, not to be a renaissance man/woman

I think you may be too optimistic or personally realistic when others are not so. It is much worse: Most people are going because movies/TV/peer pressure tell them they should go. They might say they're doing it for a better career, but they haven't thought that far ahead, not really. If they had, total US student debt would look very different.

[1] Lots of psych and communications. The people I talked to who are doing serious "is this worth it" calculations are doing nursing, or when I was in an engineering school, obviously that.
You don't even need a windows clone for that since Adobe is still releasing linux binaries. Just use a relatively recent debian/ubuntu distro.
This is a hopeful direction but it sounds like the jury is out of this can really scale to anywhere the amount we need. But it’s cheap and it helps with the oceans so seems like it’s part of a solution matrix. Also seems lower risk than spraying stuff into the atmosphere so I hope we can get moving on it.
This is different to what I was talking about -- your link is about running Emacs as pid1 on Linux (cool, but not particularly innovative -- if you run Emacs in a Docker container that is effectively what you're doing). I was talking about booting from UEFI into Emacs, without the Linux kernel at all. Given that there is a glibc port for UEFI that uses just BootServices it would be very possible to do this.
"Just lose weight" is not that simple and it's unhelpful and cruel to imply that it is.

I personally haven't been seriously obese - moderately overweight at worst - but even then I've experienced how difficult/impossible it is to get down to an ideal weight when also dealing with health complications like auto-immunity, stress/trauma/anxiety/depression, or hormonal issues.

I do know others who struggle with more serious obesity, along with some combination of the aforementioned issues, which when you pay attention turns out to being almost always the case with obesity.

"Just lose weight" is simply not possible.

"Just overcome all your auto-immune, hormonal and emotional issues" is really what you're saying, in which case the response must be "OK, give me about 15 years and a ton of support and patience along the way".
"The ultimate irony is that what created the U.S. energy revolution—nimble, private-sector companies using new technologies to extract previously untapped crude—keeps the United States from wielding its energy strength in the way that Saudi Arabia, Russia, and other big producers with state-owned firms willing to put geopolitics above profits do."

The thing is, when you ask somebody for their opinion, the most important thing you'll get out of it is not about the opinion itself, instead, it's about how and why the opinion been formed.

And most people build their opinion based on the information they're exposed to, probably including that imaginary women you made up for the comment. That's why controlling information is every government's wet dream, not just China, not just Russian, and actually, not just government.

So, the real question is not about who you asking (young women or men), it's about what's the information that women or men has received. Does she or he received all the information needed in order to make rational choice, or the information is just one sided?

BTW, In China, young women already been able to walk around most the city safely, even at night. You may take that into account.
True. I would still argue that they should get their priorities straight. Slavery is much worse than taxation and even mentioning them in the same context is not OK.
Haha, as if the average member of the ruling class didn't graduate from university.
Less distribution for outlets like Buzzfeed already happened. Facebook has cut reach to pages so badly of late that even boosting posts hardly gets any of the virality of yesteryear. Nowadays if your post doesn't get people clicking the share button found on the Facebook post, it's not gonna get very far.
I'm sure that Mark Twain didn't have today's tourists in mind, who are rushing from tourist attraction to tourist attraction, calling themselves "traveller" instead of "tourist".

To get from tourist to traveller, just add 8000km to any flight taken.

At first glance, it seems like the Economist article is drawing broader and more politically charged conclusions than the original authors. On an initial skimming of the whole article in "Psychological Science," I can find no similar sweeping statements about college education anywhere. In fact, the word "broaden" does not appear in the text of the published article at all.

Compare the Economist title with the actual article abstract below:

School or Work? The Choice May Change Your Personality

Abstract:

According to the social-investment principle, entering new environments is associated with new social roles that influence people’s behaviors. In this study, we examined whether young adults’ personality development is differentially related to their choice of either an academic or a vocational pathway (i.e., entering an academic-track school or beginning vocational training). The personality constructs of interest were Big Five personality traits and vocational-interest orientations. We used a longitudinal study design and propensity-score matching to create comparable groups before they entered one of the pathways and then tested the differences between these groups 6 years later. We expected the vocational pathway to reinforce more mature behavior and curtail investigative interest. Results indicated that choosing the vocational compared with the academic pathway was associated with higher conscientiousness and less interest in investigative, social, and enterprising activities.
I guess it's a reference to George Orwell's "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".
Making that determination would require differentiation.
The researchers in the article compared German university students with German vocational students. Maybe that is the case for those groups.

I was born and raised in Northern Canada. I'm ethnically India. University is where I first met a gay person and realized they are regular people just like me. Where I made my first Asian, Black, and Jewish friends. Where I first started reading philosophy and classic literature. Where I first realized that I could start a business myself.

I have a degree in computer science but took many liberal arts classes.

Maybe university isn't useful to the upper-middle class other than for signalling? ‍️¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The catastrophe in 12 Monkeys is due to the action of a single individual - an ideologue concerned with the "biosphere". The pathology highlighted is ideological thought that justifies mass murder.

Love certainly conquers all in this film. It is precisely love (here romantic love) that weaves an unalterable thread through time and binds the two individuals who are absolutely necessary for the future salvation of mankind.

"I’ve been thinking about 12 Monkeys a lot lately. It seems, these days, as though the human race has passed a Rubicon and is now on a straight path toward the end of days, or at least the end of the social order as we know it." - the OP.

"[I]sn’t it obvious that chicken little represents the sane vision? And that homo sapiens’s motto, ‘Let’s go shopping,’ is the cry of the true lunatic?” - the mass murdering virologist.

My daughter just started college, so we got our fill of the whole process of choosing a college. Virtually every college claimed to offer some sort of overseas study, either as a requirement or as a frictionless option. The exceptions are regional and commuter colleges that tend to be geared towards being more affordable.
Good thing I'm not doing that then. I have very particular criteria for deciding whether someone is a Nazi and reject your insinuation.
I hate to say it, but if it increases engagement with the article, then it won't stop. The vocal minority will always be outclassed by the majority because these sites are optimized for the majority. It would be cool if the site adapted to the current user, rather than to the average user. Presumably, that would increase engagement even more, but probably not by much, since the majority is already happy.

So much arm chair theorising, lol. Meanwhile someone has picked up the Dart tool chain and built a compelling framework with it. There is nothing "theoretically" special about this, but it is special in the "practical" sense that it exists, and I can use it today.

I can download it, install it, and get hot-reload on Android and iOS mobile devices while coding. I can swap out code at any layer of the framework since all of the framework's layout code and widgets are implemented in the same language as used to build an app.

Dart's performance characteristics and the combination of the AOT, JIT, and bytecode interpreter make this possible.

I write Clojure for a living. I like the elegance of Lisps. Clojure is mostly tolerable. The thing I like most about it is loading code immediately into the REPL. I hope more of the industry moves towards live programming. (or moves back to live programming, since I guess back in the Smalltalk days it used to be mainstream.)

My friend pointed this out to me and I was truly disgusted...
No, I could see how you could interpret it that way on a surface level, but to make the analogy more explicit:

The body faces [problem with complex causes] and wants to respond with [overreaction resulting in severe outcome]. Rather than addressing the causes, you take an approach that replaces [severe outcome] with a more appropriate [less bad outcome].

In the suicide situation, the severe outcome is death and the less bad outcome is significant emotional pain. The overreaction is the tendency of depressed people to believe that death is the best choice, even though they would not make that decision after careful thought in a clear state of mind.

In the headache situation, the severe outcome is a headache and the mildly bad outcome is the lingering pain even after painkillers and the inconvenience of having to take them. The overreaction is the continued pain inflicted on the person, even when all reasonable steps have already been taken.

So no, the equivalent of the painkiller is the restriction of guns. Both reduce the severity of outcome, but neither helps with the underlying problem.
I fully agree, both regarding programming languages and company culture. A younger and more naive version of me once took one of those savior jobs at a big, established company. I could stand it for 2 months before I freaked out, went to my manager and demanded change or else. I'm pretty sure he was relieved to get rid of the pesky little fly that was disturbing his waiting-to-die routine.
