Yes, gcc and clang are overwhelmingly superior for all purposes.

Let me advise against growing dependent on IDEs. They make it easy to get started, but soon begin to hold you back. Vim, meanwhile, takes some practice, but it repays so much, year in and year out. I have never heard of anyone who learned and then abandoned it.
I use TODO often in my code. It's how I mark things as incomplete but not forgotten, which means that the code should not go into production until the TODOs are handled.
Two options:

- Sort by orders. If seller has sold the most, probably a reliable seller.

- Buy a handful (or samples) first (you can ask seller that you need samples first), and test their capacity (using e.g., a good charger, I have Zanflare C4). The model I mentioned should have 3Ah (or 3000Ah). If confirmed, those are legit cells.
After further investigation my above comment is not true.

> They are not yet capable of breaking into any commpany's network from outside.

They can break into any company's network but they can't break into every company's network.

I believe that if the NSA targets a company, they'll almost certainly be able to infiltrate the network after some nontrivial targeted and sustained effort. Maybe someone like Google could fend off the NSA but I doubt it. The NSA only has to get lucky once, Google has to be secure 100% of the time. It's a tough battle.

But the NSA isn't currently monitoring every private corporate network, that's just crazy talk. I think.
Not to rain on the parade, but is there any example of graphene being used at scale to do anything? I feel like I've heard about graphene for the last 20 years and how it's going to be a miracle material, but we have little to show for it besides some nice lab results
Arcane would be mixing the output of multiple commands in to a single text stream without any readily available means to determine their origin, then writing code based upon that output that relied upon a specific ordering of said output without a preliminary explicit sort, ie. code that was reliant upon this indeterminism to fail. In any event, diff would sort it out. ;)
This person uses such a broad definition of capitalism that it becomes totally meaningless as a term.
If you have echo and a pipe, then you're most likely already in a shell, no?
Ketamine has been used for a long time in veterinary medicine. Its safety profile is super well understood.
It even seems to work with named pipes, although in my first test it exited after the first command (I suspect I'm accidentally sending a EOF when I echo the command in).

Electrical engineer here. Sounds waves are called transverse waves because their displacement moves in the positive/negative y directions, which appears to give the impression that the wave is a single traveling particle. Instead the sum of the displacement creates the "traveling wave", which is similar to a wave an audience might do at a sporting event. I don't think this article did a great job describing what they meant by mass. I believe they blow the word "Phonon" a bit out of proportion. High energy physics is an incredibly hard topics where very few people are smart enough to read such a paper with confidence so these are just my humble thoughts.
What strikes me is how Republicans didn't realize net neutrality translates to equal opportunity on the internet, which fits really well with free-market capitalism.

> The price of $3k for 8 doses is so high compared to regular ketamine. I wonder if there is any real difference or if you’re really just paying for the comfort of doing it legally under the guidance of a doctor.

You're really paying for the cost of bringing a new drug to market for a specific label use. It wouldn't be worth the multi-million dollar expense for any for-profit company to do the FDA process to show that ordinary ketamine is effective for depression, because they couldn't privatize the profits to recoup their costs.

Instead they make an arbitrary but likely nonfunctional[0] chemical change[1], get it approved, and use their patent to demand high costs to recoup their FDA process fees (and if they're lucky, to make a profit).

> In October, California agreed not to enforce its own state net neutrality law until the appeals court’s decision on the 2017 repeal, and any potential review by the U.S. Supreme Court

That was one positive "states rights" thing I was looking forward to, but they chickened out? It's their state law, why not enforce it.

It's also been some time so it would be good to see how the predictions panned out. Some of those were pretty grim:

The comment makes a claim about a proportion of the "noise" around the issue, which implies that a large fraction of the discussion of mental health and mental disorders is from or about people with made up mental health issues. The claim is made with no evidence whatsoever. The whole thing is phrased as dismissive of people's claims about their own internal experiences, which is bullshit.

Exactly, these rights are going to be chipped away bit by bit, action by action, over a long period of time so that eventually it just seems like the new normal.

This study does not evaluate the leading hypothesis of how vaccines could cause autism / other issues.

That hypothesis is the mercury and aluminum exposure. The current MMR vaccine does not contain mercury or aluminum.
I definitely identify with that, so very hard.

I suffered pretty horribly as a kid. On top of the autism, my father was abusive, one of the few friends I had died at 9 years old, and my mom was diagnosed with cancer shortly after. I began to act out, and the school I was sent to helped me learn to "pass" was so horrible I ended up writing about it anonymously for Boing Boing.[1]

Later in grad school, a counselor would point out that on top of the autistic spectrum issue, I may have CPTSD from the treatment I received from the teachers in the alternative school that my acting out caused me to be sent to. It's not in the DSM, so I can't really get anything for it.

I went to college hoping for some stability - anything beyond help desk in my hometown required a degree. College made me "overqualified" for those roles but didn't quite get me to the point I could get a systems admin or software engineering role. In fact between self care and classes, my technical skills declined a bit from when I was 18 to 22.

A professor who I took a job with due to the flexible schedule saw promise in me and encourage me to go to grad school. I don't need a ton of money to be happy, so I figured maybe acquiring some prestige would eventually lead to a decent job - I never wanted to be a professor but I didn't see any other path forward.

I burned out partway through grad school... I managed to pass my quals so I could prove leaving was my choice and left with a master's. Tried working for a smaller company who I told I wanted work life balance, but ended up being laid off despite putting in as much (and sometimes more) hours there than I did in grad school.

So now, like many of the guys I went to school with all those years ago, I live with my parents. The difference being that most of those guys spent the past decade as NEETS. I'm not going to claim living on disability is a picnic, but I sometimes wonder who's smarter: the "genius" who spent a decade trying to push boulders up hills until he got crushed, or the American Hikikomori sitting in their parent's putting in their 10,000th hour of Call of Duty.

Shifting Ground: AI Analyzes Volcanoes for Signs of Eruption
That list is sorted by price; i.e., it will bias towards recent patents on complicated drugs.

OP's statement was about sheer number of patented drugs. I don't know that OP's statement was accurate, but the wikipedia link doesn't really refute or confirm the idea.
Perhaps modern life allows the issues to be explored honestly and openly, and that makes you uncomfortable.
The problem is more that game creation requires radically differentiated skills. Even something "simple" like a Sim City clone would need a sprite artist, someone capable of implementing a 2d renderer, someone to write the AI logic, someone who can do UI, someone to do sound design, you probably want music, etc.

Most open source projects, at the worst, might involve UI design. And honestly you can see how bad that can get already when programmers start making their own interfaces without being "good" at it in most Xorg GUI apps.

That isn't to say there aren't communities around libre music, sound effects, game textures, models, etc - there are large vibrant communities around all of these. The problem with games in particular is that you need to reach across the aisle and involve people from all these niche libre communities to build something, and most of the time without the fundamentals fulfilled you won't be able to pitch or demonstrate a project enticing enough to attract participation.

Its a chicken and egg problem - you can't really get good artists if your game art is placeholder polygons, and you can't get someone working on the renderer until something is already rendering to the screen.

I think you might have got transverse swapped with longitudinal, transverse is perpendicular to the axis of propagation (string waves and EM waves), longitudinal is parallel (sound waves in fluid), and mechanical solids can support both (you can have a transverse sound wave in an iron bar but not in the air).
I think streetcars are the solution, they can co-exist on downtown streets with cars then have their own lines when there's space. Did you know there used to be a streetcar that ran from Medford Sq. to Stoneham Sq. through the fells?

The list of drugs that have been derived from plant sources is actually quite low.

And just because it’s present in a plant doesn’t mean it can be drugged. It could have a short half life, high toxicity, etc., so derivatives are made to optimize it’s action.

Finally, even if a patent can’t be secured, the first version of a drug is given exclusivity by the FDA - they won’t approve another version up to 7 years (orphan drugs).
How many other degrees do you have?
"For all of the regularly scheduled vaccines the answer is the risks of not vaccinating greatly outweigh those of receiving it, unless you have an allergy to something in that particular vaccine."

This is only true for healthy people who have had no reactions to vaccines, nor have their family members.

There are people who have life-long debilitating reactions. What is being proposed is to make it impossible to opt-out if you have a personal or family history with negative reactions to vaccines. Medical exemptions are impossible to get except for the very wealthy who can afford the appropriate testing to prove it's an issue.
It could either bring drugs to market itself, negotiate for all consumers (single payer), or loosen FDA regulations around drug safety or efficacy trials. The status quo is that selling a drug is extremely expensive even when if you know a priori it is safe and effective, so companies must use the patent to seek high rents to recoup their costs (as well as cover R&D on other drugs, which may not pan out).

> React isn't really object-oriented.

I don't do web development but I've read react API docs and user guides.

Objects calling other objects is optional for OOP, I never saw a definition that requires them to do. OOP is about code and data organization.

Objects and methods are everywhere in react. Some are very complex.

Just because it uses a few lambdas doesn't mean it's not OOP.

For reference, here's now a non-OOP GUI library may look like: http://behindthepixels.io/IMGUI/ As you see not only it's hard to use, it doesn't scale.

Like it or not, OOP is the only way to deal with complex state invented so far. Even in functional languages: https://medium.com/@gaperton/let-me-start-from-the-less-obvi... And modern rich GUIs have very complex state.

The parents reporting symptoms of autism from vaccines aren't talking about a gradual process. They are talking about having a normal, happy, talkitive child who plays and engages one day....

...and then right after the vaccine they are completely mentally retarded, can't make eye contact, and no longer speak the words they spoke prior to the vaccination.
OK, you are correct in the legal sense, but if a law is not enforced, it ceases to have any meaning. That's just like prostitution in Japan being illegal while having extremely obvious places with prostitutes in plain sight everywhere.
Solving the 2 Language Problem in Scientific Computing and ML with Julia
I don't doubt that's one consideration, but my point is that people's preferences - whether they be racism, greenery, privacy, autonomy, or whatever - function as constraints that the market then optimizes around. And given those constraints, the suburban tract neighborhoods with a road hierarchy and wide boulevards lined with strip malls optimize for efficiency.

I grew up in suburban New England. That's inefficiency - triangular acre lots, empty space with no road access, single-lane roads, three lefts that get you back to your starting location, driving to the next town (or New Hampshire, often) for the nearest commercial zone, the "Massachusetts left" because there's no protected left-turn lane at most intersections, major roads that terminate at a stop sign on a freeway where people routinely drive 85 mph. The suburban sprawl of Silicon Valley was a breath of fresh air by comparison - the lights on the 3-lane boulevards here are at least timed in rational ways with protected turn lanes.

Hell, they have traffic lights here - I grew up 2 houses down from the intersection of 3 state highways at a stop sign, and we fought for about a decade, fruitlessly, to get a traffic light and crosswalk there. It backs up for literally a mile in each direction during rush hour, and accidents are common.

> if you doubt the diagnosis, fine - get a second opinion

We actually tried to get a second opinion. We went to another psychologist for one, she booked us in, but then her superiors cancelled it. They said if a child has been diagnosed as having ASD Level 2, they didn't want to repeat the assessment since there was a risk they might get undiagnosed or only diagnosed as Level 1, which would remove his eligibility for government disability funding (NDIS). (Which we still haven't applied for, because we aren't convinced he needs it, and don't know what to spend it on anyway.) They wanted us to go to see some paediatrician they like, who is actually a colleague of our son's existing one.

Instead we took him back to his existing paediatrician. He said he too was a bit sceptical about the diagnosis, but that psychological diagnosis isn't an entirely objective process, and it doesn't really matter whether he has ASD or not, and it would be a waste of time to repeat the assessment, so we should just do nothing about it for 6-12 months, and see how he goes, and consider repeating the assessment in another 2-3 years.
Double-blind placebo controlled studies evaluating the safety of mercury based preservatives and aluminum adjuvants in vaccines still have not been done. This study evaluates the contemporary MMR vaccine that does not have mercury or aluminum in it, so it's know surprise to people who understand the science behind vaccine-hesitancy that the results of this study showed no problems.
> With no patent, as with generic drugs, price approaches marginal cost of production. With a patent, price is limited only by competition with other therapies.

Right. But the thing is, bringing a drug to market is extremely expensive. So without patents, there isn't a financial incentive to bring a drug to market. Biotech companies aren't charities.

> That's because "really sick patients" are desperate.

Not sure what you're driving at. The alternative to offering an extremely expensive patented drug to really sick patients is no drug at all (or whatever the previous standard of care was). Yeah, drugs are expensive until the patent runs out, but the patent does eventually run out.

Without this system, we wouldn't have new drugs brought to market by for-profit companies. With this system, sure, new drugs are really expensive the first 17-20 years. But then they're really inexpensive, and exist. In the other timeline, they simply did not exist.
It means that, despite being the one with the brain that processes human emotion and social cues radically less efficiently than other people, I'm the one who, e.g., has to explain to the "emotionally competent" not to rageface at me for not understanding (or, more likely, even perceiving) the cues they probably aren't even aware they're emitting.

Yeah, that's pure "SJW". (Flagged for that, btw. Never in the history of online discourse has that term served as anything but an attempt to shut people up. Throwing it around un-ironically is prima facie bad-faith discourse.)

How about, "It's fucking hard to have a brain that the overwhelming majority of people fail utterly to understand, recognize, or allow for in their behavior; who, more often than not, act like I'm the one malingering, or attention-seeking, or whatever; and that it is the utter antithesis of 'self-indulgence' to be piqued by that."

If you saw "crying victim" in my comment, you must have been looking for it, because I'm damned sure there wasn't any when I wrote it. I was offering a token voice of solidarity to someone who thinks it's bullshit that he should have to justify how his own hearing works to people. Because it is.
I was hoping if they start enforcing it then more states will follow suit. Making laws and then selectively enforcing them when convenient is not a good idea. But you're right, that perhaps not enough time has passed yet and the worse is yet to come.
What's the risk of legitimizing ketamine? The majority of the research and meta-reviews support ketamine as a treatment for depression too. The S-isomer may be better in some ways, but maybe not $3k better if you're poor.

On a risk/harm scale, it's comparable to alcohol or cigarettes[1].
