> That doesn't seem especially compelling

What is compelling is that the 5-star hotel where Cotton and his wife were staying, the hospital where he was treated, 2 members of the police department that reviewed the case, and the mortuary where he was embalmed, all confirm Cotton's death.

That would be a pretty elaborate staged death -- not impossible, but still the evidence provided in the article clearly points to Cotton having died suddenly and unexpectedly in India.
Sincere question- assuming that '7 minute workout' is an HIIT - what kind of warm up does something like that require and how long? I want to do the 7 minute workout but I'm worried it needs a warm up.
Yah... With that same logic so is the untouched forest from which we get our rarest mushrooms from, or wild game from.
I see what you did there with the missing grammar
The lecture slides from previous semesters of the course linked from the book are also a great, and somewhat more conversational, resource for learning Ocaml.

We (backend engineering at Remind) went through this repo over the course of 6 weeks, taking turns leading the discussion. It went really well. We had a variety of participants, from seasoned backend engineers to boot camp grads, and everyone got a lot out of it.
It’s starting to seem common. Every time I read some form of ‘successful tech founder dies young’ it’s almost always related to some form of addiction.

I wonder if that’s just the only thing being reported on, or it’s just the most likely way for these people to die.
Last year, at age 35, I started drinking heavily. I would buy a bottle of Absolute and would not stop till I see the bottom of it. 2 bottles a week at min. About 5-6 months, I've stopped drinking without anyone's help.

Yesterday and today, I'm having a strong urge to get completely wasted. Just go to the store around the block, buy bottle of Absolute.

Yesterday, while driving on I-695, I saw a guy with a child seat on the back seat and thought to myself: "I want that too".

> then what am I going to do? Hire a sitter for a potential job for each of these companies?

Yes, why not? For many people taking time off their existing job during the work day to interview is difficult, but they find a way to do it.

My whole point in this thread is not that interviewing isn't onerous, or that some companies may require more of a time investment than some people are willing to make (and, if that's the case, it's fine to say that job/company isn't for you). What I find obnoxious is when people turn their unwillingness to spend time on the interview or homework as "you are discriminating against me because I am older or because children."
Well, yes. Go's shared memory model is essentially the same as that of C and C++. You have locks, and you have data objects, and the language has no idea which lock covers what data. That's the big thing Rust got right.

Go's message passing model is somewhat error prone. It lets you pass references. So you can create shared data through the channels. It's easy to do this accidentally by passing slices, which are references to the underlying array, across a channel.

More generally, Go channels are one-way. Since you often want an answer back, you have to create some two-way mechanism from the raw one-way channels. It seems to be common to do this at the raw channel level, rather than using some "object" like encapsulation. Creating a mechanism which shuts down cleanly is somewhat tricky, too.
I hate how normalized alcohol consumption is in most countries. At some point last year I realized I was drinking 4x days/week and knew I needed to step back. Have really stopped drinking during the week since the new year and saving the occasional drink for vacations only.

Hi thanks for the compliments!

We live in Northern Virginia and so does Michael J. Sullivan. Met him and he was kind enough to license two of their best works for free to our initial readers—we're now in middle of starting premium books (/pricing) and that is how we intend to keep the service and growth going. :-)
Technically, or de jure, not true.

I think it’s fair to say it is legal in the softer sense of the word, or de facto legal.

I also don’t believe that it’s complicated to understand such a state of affairs.
Is there any convention for denoting which functions in OCaml have side effects?
Sometimes people feel shame about their substance use. Sometimes people feel badly and turn to substances, or use substances gradually and find that they can't stop. Every one deserves to be fully accepted, loved, and to feel better. And sometimes it seems impossible to feel that within one's self. I hope it becomes easier to talk about one's experience with another. A friend, counselor, family member, a kind stranger. The boxes on internet sites. Even when one feels only darkness, another person can light a match to illuminate a tad bit. Small steps, over time, add up to better. It's slow and hard. And recovery can be like that. But it can be better. Always.

Is DNA Left on Envelopes Fair Game for Testing?
In Erlang, you do send a message to a destination. It also offers a way to register a name to a process, which you can build on to make whatever routing you need. Erlang/OTP ships with a module called pg2 that builds a synchronized group of processes in your distributed system, sending to the group will by default pick a local process over a remote process, or you can broadcast to all the processes.
Hey, if you can automate the process, you have a free backup service with unlimited storage ;)

Yep, that's probably wise. Another queue is if you're quivering too much you might need to form some of the core for that exercise first—or you're just done. Lat pull-downs are a great start as you can set the weight while the movement is pretty near the same. Main difference being, you'll need some resistance bands or the equipment to do that one instead of just a mounted bar.

Edit: My big beef with Crossfit and like circuits are that they do similar things:

They recommend great methods for exercise, strength building, cardio, etc.

However, they often have next to zero form coaching and some of the things I've seen people doing with their bodies right beside coaches and trainers in programs like that ... they're just asking for injuries (either short term, or long term. How they teach rowing form is particularly bad).

It's less the exercise, and more the parameters—form and knowing your limits are core. In a coach, they should be able to judge what you're ready to be doing.
Yeah, this has started becoming the norm at a lot of startups - coding on computer + design on whiteboard, and I think it works really well.
congrats on your time. there is no shame in asking for help, in fact that is what a smart person would do!
You didn't even read what I said or the link I posted. I'm comparing Apple to Android and their respective app store revenues, which is what the original comment was about. I never said Apple received most of their revenue from the app store.
Appears to be a miniaturized version of the standard Haber-Bosch process.
Initially go light at 7m workout, that would serve you as a warm up. Once you are able to push, add one more session right after (maybe 5 minute break in-between). Your first session stays warm up session. Once 2nd session is not enough (in like 3-4 months), add a third one. Then you can increase intensity of all exercises a bit (still keep the first session lighter). In 1 year you'll be in best shape of your life (given proper food & sleep). Good luck! ;-)

Another way to do HIIT is to grab a stationary bike and do intervals there, e.g. 3 minute warmup at low level then increase difficulty or start pedaling faster for a minute. At some point you'd start reducing breaks in between, maybe in 1-2 years you'd do at most 10s low-intensity in-between.
At that age my doctor said the things that were likely to kill people like me were motorcycle accidents, extreme sports, and drug addiction. So if your hobbies are software and photography, that mostly leaves drug addiction.
You can afford better food, nicer place to live (living next to major highways/trains results in lower lifespan due to the pollution), can have more autonomy and respect in the workplace (lots of pesky things like hormone levels change when you are perceived by others as 'high-status' vs 'low-status' and status is more often than not determined by money), and MOST importantly, at least in America, you can afford healthcare. And getting treated for a disease/ailment has a very positive correlation with surviving it.
I don’t reckon it’d match today’s fashions.

Ugh. Yeah, I've heard too many of these stories not to believe them. Most of the people I know at Amazon say they haven't experienced toxicity at that level, though, and that it depends a lot on your manager.

In the absence of a strong, healthy company-wide culture, managers create their own islands of toxicity or calm productivity. I don't know a simple answer of how to ensure you end up on the right one.
How does Ocaml compare to F# in expressing functional paradigm?
Of Lamb; "The Old Benchers of the Inner Temple" and "The Praise of Chimney-Sweepers".Lamb tries to express his awe and wonder and curiousity to the reader very effectively.

Johnson of the Lives, is much, different, much more lively than the Johnson of the Rambler, esp his sense of humor is on full display. I greatly recommend the "Life of Savage" and "Life of Addison" from the lives.

I think Macaulay is exceptional, his essays like "Warren Hastings", "Samuel Johnson" (Which he wrote for Encyclopedia Britannica), "Ranke's History of the Pope's", etc are such stunning works, the reader shall find it very difficult to put them down once they start.

Just write the test cases as bullet points and actually run through the algorithm with them when done coding. Don't declare success the instant you wirte that last curly.

Doing that gets a big plus from me (I'm 100% tdd personally).

Remember I know the answer to the question. The instant I can tell you do and for reasoning is good, I'm going to stop waisting time getting fro 95% sure to 100% sure on that part of the question and get another piece of data.

Usually that for me is to add some system design, speed consideration or other area of investigation and try to get another overall compentency covered. And just keep doing that till we run out of time.

It's very often other interviewers aren't able to hit things so backup signals are great.

And interviews are risk mitigation really. The more 80% certainties I can get on the more areas of coverage the Better if the interview team is doing a good job.
For me the reason why VMWare won is outlined in the article. Case in point: running OpenStack with shared storage on SAN is major PITA while for VMWare it is the recommended way to run things.
This is absolutely a different story. This is the government not allowing you to travel around a country because they don’t like you.

This person can still get a job somewhere else. He can still go visit his family wherever they are. The government isn’t stopping him from living his life just because of some “social score”.
This is great!

Nothing else googling has the required features this one has.

Thank you and Thank HN for superseding Google!
I'm surprised you were able to function the next day with that amount. I recently turned 30, and I definitely cannot drink as much as I used to. I get an allergic response to alcohol, which really sucks because I used to enjoy it. There is a mutation in OPRM1 in certain populations that causes your opiate receptors (particularly mu subtype) to release endorphins when drinking. I've definitely had that happen to me when I used to drink heavily. But that changed when I took LSD-25. While I still drink, it is nowhere near the same level as when I was younger, and I attribute that to my psychedelic experiences. Stay strong.
So, this is the data that the wikipedia page on Simpson's Paradox cites for the Berkeley study, and that the author of the article has quoted:

Men Women
Department Applied Admitted Applied Admitted
A [825] 62% 108 [82%]
B [560] 63% 25 [68%]
C 325 [37%] [593] 34%
D [417] 33% 375 [35%]
E 191 [28%] [393] 24%
F [373] 6% 341 [7%]

Above, I've bracketed in each pair of columns a) the sex with the most applicants and b) the sex with the most admissions, in a department. If that data is really the Berkeley data, then it's clear that the bias is against the sex with the most applicants, rather than either men or women.

I can propose a mechanism for this kind of (with some abuse of terminology) selection bias. A department accepts some applications, then realises they've admitted too many applicants of one sex and start rejecting applicants from the dominant sex in an attempt to redress the balance. They make a mess of it and end up biased too far in the opposite direction than they originally started.

Also note that in 4 out of 6 departments, more men applied than women, explaining why more departments appear biased against men (provided my observation holds).

However, I can't be sure whether this is actually the original data because it's nowhere to be found on my pdf copy of the study (Sex bias in graduate admission) which I believe I got from here: https://homepage.stat.uiowa.edu/~mbognar/1030/Bickel-Berkele.... If anyone knows where this data actually comes from, I'd welcome a pointer.
What would have made sense is for him not to get in to the company in the first place, if he didn't understand the product.
Part of what drove me to leave the SF tech industry was the normalized daily alcohol consumption.

At one startup in SOMA, on my first day the CEO introduced me to the team and pressured me to drink a shot of booze as was the company's tradition. My first group interaction with the entire company (~30 heads) was responding "water" to the CEO's question "so what's you're drink?" asked while standing next to a bar on wheels rolled over for the occasion, which I had to repeat two or three times, when he repeated the question expecting me to cave under pressure.

Utter stupidity, may as well be insisting I smoke a cigarette from my perspective.
My friends who did, say cramped but memorable. And at the speed, cramped was ok because it wasn't for long. I only spoke to people who did the New York run, I have no idea what the longer Rio trip was like. Running out of champagne would have been depressing.

That's my question. What are those reason?
Have you ever had one of those notepads with the kind of paper that made you want to write something, anything, even though you had nothing to write about? OCaml is just like that to me.

I stroll through the internet aimlessly and I find a page that mentions OCaml and my eyes light up; I see an .ml file and savor how it looks - functions written with great economy of expression, pattern matching through which data flows in well-defined pathways, abstract data types forming a network of rugged pipes and girders that makes invalid states impossible; and .mli files that presents modules like classic prose -- no hedges, contortions, or obscurities that undercut the reader's ability to understand the flow of data and the pathways through which it flows.

"Expression, carrying the elegance that comes from compressed energy, is like a perfectly tuned stringed instrument: the strings are taut to exact degrees to correspond to exact pitches that stand in exact relations to one another. The pitches and their relations exist before the strings are tuned. Each string is tuned to a pitch and the results are judged by comparison to this pre-existing reality. A musician tuning an instrument is not finished until everything is exactly right, but once it is exactly right, there is simply nothing left to do." -- Clear and Simple as the Truth: Writing Classic Prose, Thomas, Turner.
My performance is at max when I got to go somewhere in like 1 hour. Say, buying a ticket to a cinema in 2 hours makes me do more in those 2 hours that sitting whole day straight.

That's true if you are a tourist in Alps, but as a native you'd know some really dodgy mountain roads that your clunker could climb without much trouble, but no American would ever attempt them without a proper 4x4 and life insurance. There is also a factor of underestimating distances due to latitude differences, i.e. Europe is drawn much larger and US much smaller than it should be in comparison, so looking at a map is very deceiving.
The reason (in chess at least, which is what I'm familiar with) is to encourage more women to play chess, to close the gender gap formed in the first 150 years centuries of international organized chess.

I actually have found small doses of LSD have helped me lose the desire to drink. There is legitimate research happening that shows this is a real phenomenon...unsure about the science but for me it’s a cleaner better “high” with no hangover effect and not nearly as toxic (if at all)
As an outsider, the concept of openstack was always really appealing but it felt like RackSpace’s answer to AWS. Never really learned more about it than what was on their website but that was always the impression I got.
Not sure. Core network to me is always very dangerous. China for their own security show not use US products and vice visa. For product, they should prohibit (both sides) not to use the others desktop, laptop and handheld devices. Apply for Russia, the 3 main hacking communities.

For the case, Huawei is unusual. It seems to have a few case (down to even the glass cover!) Hence the company ... But more important imagine if IBM ship to Iran their products via a faked HK company and lie to HSBC about it so money can be transferred (based on the limited amount we heard), the case is there but the difference is USA threaten Canada for doing what the treaty is bounded. Or would USA pool resources to do it in court instead in diploma channel.

Now this action on country level (as seems in the news also in other European countries) not using just company resources but diplomatic resources.

Is Huawei a firm represent the country? Is it a department of communist China?

Back to the device part, the government and core network shall be on its own whatever the countries are. It is just dangerous for Russia/China/USA to use other hacking country.
Absolutely, despite the best intentions of UX designers/researchers the PMs/POs (depending on org), directors and above get final say on business/technology/ final (re)design decisions, which is then broken down into the backlog for developers.

Proper (re)design initiatives need to born out of the intersection of "viability, (user) desirability, and feasibility."

Usability is only scratching the surface of how to quantify the impact of a redesign and the author doesn't acknowledge the convoluted nature of how design decisions actually get made in non design-led tech organizations. The best companies (i.e. FAANG) have data and are measuring the outcomes of design decisions before developers even get assigned the work.

From the author's vantage point and how they get assigned work, they are missing the forest for the trees.

Thoughts?
What's the allergic response?
Sure, but I believe over 85% of adults will drink alcohol at some point in their lives so that is easier said than done.
For those who have a problem with alcohol from being a bit of a drunk to an addict, there's a pill for that: Naltrexone, taken one hour before drinking, blocks positive reinforcement for drinking alcohol. This treatment is called the "Sinclair method."

Studies show Naltrexone and the Sinclair method prevents excessive consumption and over time can extinguish addiction. Over the course of a year alcoholics can basically totally lose interest in alcohol.

It's not a fringe treatment. It has been the standard of care in Finland for decades.

Here is a global listing of physicians familiar with the treatment: https://cthreefoundation.org/find-a-physician

These board certified physicians prescribe it in many states in the US via telemedicine consultations: https://www.mdproactive.com/what-we-treat/alcohol-use-disord...

(I'm suggesting this online practice because I understand it may be hard to find a physician familiar with this treatment in some areas in the United States.)

I went from being a bit of a drunk even by American standards to having no interest in alcohol after a couple pills.

The first time I took it, I knew it could have saved by grandfather's life.

It's really heartbreaking that so few people know about this treatment.

Anyone who likes alcohol would be amazed how useless it is without the opioid response (that Naltrexone blocks).

Wow, I'd never heard of rhabdomyolysis. I always thought the worst overtraining could do to you is force you to take an extended (weeks/months) break.

I'm pushing 40 now, and one thing I've learned is to recognize when my body is telling me "you need to back off now." I don't recover the way I used to (I can't lift 4 days a week anymore, for example, and squats and deadlifts are right out due to back problems), so I need to be careful not to overdo it. Because then I'll hurt myself and have to take a few weeks off -- and worse, I'll be hobbling in to work for a week or more like an old, broken man, and all the millennials will laugh at me :)
