The point is to make them think twice about the DISTINCTION between honking to save somebody's life and honking to express their own annoyance or frustration.

(I think the idea of tying the could level inside the car to outside is better, but that you are missing the point)
The other thing you have to realize about medicine, is that effects can car drastically person to person. For some, it makes them think quicker and makes them much more social.
> It's questionable whether Cambridge Analytica actually succeeded in changing many votes.

Changing a vote is hard. They only needed to make someone vote (or not) to make a difference, which is much easier to achieve
But you could just suck it up, get a regular job and do 9 to 5 5 days a week. If you lived in those countries, they have a great social network. It's not like he was living in Somalia and this was his only way out.
The problem is that someone's definition of "cleaner" can be wildly different from yours. Sometimes even justifiably so.
I wonder what's the relationship with Simcity with Math? It's just a game with building keep growing and some random disaster.
What we need is a relatively standardized degree that is like a Bachelor's minus the Associates. That is, we don't need the two years of useless filler classes. Taking two years (4% of career time, more of lifetime earnings) for that gunk is a huge opportunity cost.

I'm still waiting for my employer to ask me to do a Marxist literary criticism of a poem. When that day comes, I'm prepared!

These coding boot camps could have been what we need, but they are far too short and not at all standardized. I doubt the students ever write a boot loader, compiler, or kernel. I doubt the students do much analysis of algorithms or even know what a Turing machine is.

The same applies to non-coding careers that involve college degrees. We don't want surgeons with only a 14-week surgery boot camp, but cutting two years off of the lengthy education would increase the supply of doctors and reduce the cost (including opportunity cost) of their education. It's better than adding two years to every career.
Read The Selfish Gene and https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2008/06/12/...

There is doubt that a set of behaviors which is so prevalent in the population is just an accident and a disease. Evolutionary pressures exist to optimize gene expression ratios in a population. Put differently, when a certain gene becomes rare in a population individuals with that gene have a significant advantage in life and reproduce more – when the same gene becomes over prevalent individuals with that gene have a significant disadvantage and reproduce less. There are traits which have pressure to be a certain proportion of a population.

ADHD or whatever else you may call it could very well be that. Ancient societies which had a small proportion of a certain kind of person thrived because their different behavior made them successful. It doesn't have to be a disease to not fit in to a certain society.
I won't pretend to know what was in the minds of the people at the time. Maybe there were multiple reasons and not one single "real reason."

Looking at the world today I think most people would prefer that a device that can cause such massive destruction simply not exist. I can only imagine what will happen once the ones that have been 'lost' start showing up in the wrong hands. The destruction was bad enough when in the 'right hands' (scare quotes, because I don't feel so great about what we(USA) did either.)

We can play what-if all day but we will never know what would have happened if things didn't happen as they did. I just hope that the actual version of what happened doesn't get 'corrected' in history books so that our future descendants can learn from our mistakes.
This is really interesting. I mount ~/Downloads anyways, because I put it on a nfs mount, but I’ve never considered some scheme like what you’re talking about. Maybe I’ll go for this on my next Linux machine.

Also, there’s a better argument for not putting . in $PATH: if your $PATH is relatively static, you have less to think about when looking through your shell’s history for a particular command: if . is on the PATH, you always have to wonder whether a particular history entry is running a system-wide command or a command in $PWD
I saw something similar covered on CBS Sunday Morning, with one older married guy that did it for about a month every year. His family just accepted that it was something he liked to do.
Ppl in this thread are acting kinda strange. Why is this so traumatizing to everyone? You know EMTs and doctors and whatnot see this kind of stuff irl fairly frequently and still manage to live healthy lives afaik. I can't imagine being someone on a mortal kombat dev team who goes home and has recurring terror from their work. If that's the case like - go work for Kirby or something.

Funny story - I broke my leg in half a while back. Soon after I could walk again I went to a buddies and we got high and played MK10. The cutscenes where it xrayed and showed bones breaking in half shocked the hell out of my senses. But I didn't get stressed or stop playing. The feeling desensitized relatively quickly and it was one of my favorite games.
I really envy someone with the creativity and self confidence to live life how they want it, no matter how the rest of the world views it. Your story is how a lot of playing characters end up in elder scrolls games.
You can't see that getting to a higher altitude counteracts the curvature of the earth?
Have you been able to find hacks and/or work arounds? Reading the article, I wondered if ADHD might manifest with a range of severities. I have heard of ADHD sufferers for whom it is a serious disability, and other sufferers who claim it’s their super power. I can see that you would find the latter claim to be very irritating.
It is not really missing. People are not having children and the ones that do are having a single child on average.

I think it is one of the reasons to take out trend is so high. Of the people under 50 that I work with exactly 1 of them have children, and 1 of them wants children one day (but not now) the rest of us, including myself, have no children and have zero desire to have children. Looking at population data we are not alone in that.
What I'm trying to say is that there's nothing wrong with being what you are.

Instead there is something wrong with a society that discriminates against it (and living in that society sucks). Trying to fit in to it is what sucks and the solution is not being better at fitting in.
AZ parent just put a child through the public schools K-12 and then graduated U of AZ engineering BS without debt anecdotage:

The local CC is a disaster for teaching anything to do with that cursed label "STEM": math end-game beginning calculus is almost non-existent, other math classes focus on "business math"[1] and subjects such as real english skills or heaven forbid a foreign language are just barely rudimentary, which you can discover on your own by looking at the course availabilities, readily available online. Sure, you can get a nursing education, or law enforcement, but you can barely get any preparation at all for UA technical coursework. Some manage it anyway of course; when I was in the graduate math program at ASU in Tempe, the first PhD awarded in years started with beginning 1st year Algebra.

[1] "business math" I hardly understand myself, I really felt bad for the students. It makes no sense at all as a curriculum. But it does supply something for a market demand.

>> Works with Windows XP or higher and Linux/Mac (console version). On Linux/Mac the speeds are much slower.

Not sure. It dumps the cart over serial and there were some problems with higher speeds at one point.

> Do you know if there are plans for a future revision of the hardware which will allow for the greater speed that USB-C can provide to be utilized?

I don't think the carts themselves are that fast, there wouldn't be a huge amount of benefit. At least when I tried it it wasn't even coming close to using full USB 2 speed.
But we won’t get that. American culture and politics won’t permit it. (I can see the New Yorker articles now.) Not only that, we won’t even get the quota systems for different majors various European countries have. It’ll be underwater basket weaving for everyone, at the public expense.
Oh I fully understand the Federalist argument however the Electoral College has outlived its usefulness. Times change. The notion that eliminating it would cause another civil war is ludicrous.
She never said she was very good at what she did. Yes, she was working like crazy but that is a different thing. Being overly invested in career mostly makes you very good at what you do.
The model, training tooling, and data appear to still be closed, no? So it’s still a black box, just now the “load the model binary and run it” part is open source.
All of my male friends (and myself as I am male) all cook, and some of us even enjoy it. That said I still eat alot of take out because I work 10-12 hours a day and tend to just pick something up on the way home instead of spending 30-60 mins in the kitchen when i get home. My lack of cooking however does not in anyway equate to my inability to cook.

Bah! Another article about ADHD. ADHD's over diagnosed and not not as big a problem as people make it out to be. But, I'm curious all of a sudden, so I might as well read it.

> For the first 19 years of my life I knew I was lazy.

Yeah, I'm pretty lazy too. That's just who I am, though. I don't have ADHD...

> So what, you can't stop bouncing your leg at the restaurant?

I thought I was the only one that did that. It drives my aunt crazy.

> I'll be halfway through a team meeting and realize I haven't heard anything that was said. That's ADHD.

THAT'S ADHD? I do that all the time. I can't listen to podcasts either. But I just have difficulty processing the spoken word. I'm much more of a book learner anyway.

> I was happiest with my nose in the book

I'm seeing a disturbing pattern take shape.

> I'll take a break to read an article and hours will go by before I realize what's happened. Not minutes, hours. That's ADHD.

Wat.

> I'm horrible at completing simple, repetitive tasks. I'm terrible at time management, and conceptualizing time in general.

Uh oh.

Other comments here have mentioned that stimulants help ADHD sufferers focus. I recently cut back to 2 20oz cans of red bull a day, but I was up to 4 a few years ago. I just thought caffeine was my drug of choice. Everyone's addicted to something, right?

I currently have 52 open tabs on my laptop and another 37 open on my desktop.

I'm not quite sure what to do with all of this. I just thought I was lazy.
There was widespread vulnerability scanning of election websites (not sure how they distinguish this from the scanning that happens on every IPv4 address).

In some cases there was attempts to do SQL injection on these sites.

In a couple instances there is evidence that voter rolls were accessed.

There is no evidence of any vote tampering, and any suggestion that there was is just a conspiracy theory.
On the other hand, this operation was contemporaneous with pictures like this: https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/images/467434main_a...
Legally? I've been tracking down physical cartridges and using a ripping tool, which is basically a hardware slot for a gameboy cartridge that connects to a PC via USB. The one I own personally is this one, which can dump all the common cartridge types ("mappers") and their save data:

https://bennvenn.myshopify.com/products/reader-writer-gen2

The popular titles (especially Pokemon) can be hard to track down at a fair price, but lesser known gameboy games can be found easily on Amazon and from other used sellers for a few dollars each. Even stuff like Tetris is easy to get ahold of because so many copies were produced. Bad games still make great test cases. :D

If you're after homebrew there's a whole bunch of sites that host it. One site that I pulled my early test ROMs from was:

https://pdroms.de/news/gameboy

But there are of course countless others. The demo scene is quite lively, and once your emulator is working at a basic level, demos can be good test cases since they often use the hardware in surprising and unusual ways. Finally, once you're serious about accuracy, check out this list of test ROMs:

http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/GBAccuracyTests.html

Especially the tests by blargg; these are designed with a simple pass/fail result but go seriously in depth checking out hardware edge cases, and the source code is available which makes debugging them a breeze. Finally passing his CPU test was a major milestone.

The rabbit hole is very deep, but it's a fun dive!
> If you don't know much about ADHD , it's not what you think it is.

Honest question, I don't know much about ADHD. What's ADHD actually is?
They could have called it eOS or something, in homage to the E foundation as well as the Homeric goddess of dawn... although maybe the Apple legal team might have had something to say about it.

There doesn't seem to be much of a counterbalance to the drastic increases in tuition and fees, which have outpaced inflation for some 40 years or more.

Perhaps I'm an idealist, but I think we can do it right. We had two tracks in high school. the ones who could go to college stayed in class all day. The others who were slated for blue collar jobs went to trade school for the first half of the day, then took essential classes in the afternoon.
The most interesting part of that post to me was the tweet about Charles Goodyear.

Dude had a rough life. Further reading lead me to learn that the Goodyear tire company was founded 30 years after Charles’ death.

Because with out the Electoral College, the rest of the states do not matter.. the Elections will be decided by about 5 states in the union, the very thing the Electoral College was designed to prevent and is every much just as relevant today as it was when there were only 13 colonies

As to civil war.... You do understand that most of the private guns in this nation are in the Red States, and currently if National popular vote is enacted the Blue States will effectively control government at the national level (which is most likely why you support it, chances are you are a democrat and are tried of the Republicans having any power so if NY and CA can control the nation that would be grand for you) . Which will most likely mean extreme pushes to the Authoritarian left including Draconian gun control laws and seizures... Which will bring about all out civil war

The B-29’s Battle of Kansas (2012)
I also don't have a CS degree, but I tend to agree with you that something quite serious in terms of scale and scope is missing in most bootcamps. For instance, it doesn't make sense to expose people who have never written a program before to RoR or Node if they haven't yet learned how to do basic tasks like command line functionality, learning the *NIX file system, text and data manipulation, etc, let alone if/then statements.
Perhaps ADHD is a frequent misdiagnosis. They are not uncommon in medicine, which is really guesswork in white coats.

However, actual ADHD, and other similar attentional or executive function impairments are very likely to be under diagnosed BIG TIME.
What do you mean by “these techniques”? I would say it boiled down to “telling lies that infatuate their target audience.”

In this regard I’d say the collusion conspiracy kicked off by Steele has been significantly more efffective than any Russian effort leading up to the election.

Mostly that’s because the Russians had some fake Facebook groups while Steele had the FBI and a large part of the American mass media all shilling for him.

It’s no more of a problem with .Net Core than it is with Python modules that have native dependencies, or Node modules with native dependencies.

You’re not going to mistakenly add a non .Net Core Nuget package to a .Net Core project. It won’t even compile.

Of course you can find Windows only nuget packages for Windows only functionality like TopShelf - a package to make creating a Windows Service easy. But even then, I’ve taken the same solution and deployed it to both a Windows server and an AWS Linux based lambda just by configuring the lambda to use a different entry point (lambda handler) than the Windows server.

You can even cross compile a standalone Windows application on Linux and vice versa.

I use a Linux Docker container to build both packages via AWS CodeBuild.

Would you also criticize Python for not being cross platform because there are some Windows only modules?

You could, but you should follow it up with "where one of those sources is your (incomplete, noisy) information about what the value _used_ to be and how it changes over time".

If you just have (say) three different ways of estimating the position of an aeroplane, then you don't need a Kalman filter. The place where the Kalman filter adds value is where you measure its position _repeatedly_ and make use of the fact that it's known to be moving approximately in a straight line.
Inability to sustain concentration is not a temperament. It's a neurological impairement.

Adderall isn't going to do anything unless you are actually functioning suboptimally. It will, however, most certainly decrease your attentional/executive performance if you are at an optimal state. Look up the U-shaped response curve.

We don’t live in ancient society. We live in our society.

Not to mention, not all traits that survive evolution are positive.
my experience is that you have to babysit the senior hires a little bit more because they bring their own baggage and habits into the team even if it doesn't support the existing workflow or even goes against.

they are also more resistant to change than a fresh hire, or may be a bit more convincing when they want things to move their way (to the team's detriment).

if you want to incorporate new cultural elements into your team, especially if your team has already strong, well-developed culture, you have to be aware of what is good and what is bad within your existing team, what to keep and what to give up, and be quick to nip any unintended side effects of a cultural/workflow change in the bud.
Google-free Android already exists, it's called Lineage OS

Does the team's performance affect the football coach's job evaluation/progression? And is this the case in every school in the country? I've gathered (from popular media) that high school football is taken very seriously in some parts of the country, but I mean outside of those areas.

Note: I'm aware college football coaches are fired if on-field results are below-par.
Not really sure how that’s relevant?

And from that perspective, the major difference between humans and animals is that we are just slightly better at organising than they are. Written script, the ability to perfectly capture and preserve commentary, enables intellectual compounding across millennia. That knowledge is probably our biggest advantage as a species and it comes as an offshoot of us using communication to organise ourselves in a flexible way. It isn't that much different from any other pack animal in one sense, the outcomes are just much better.

There are animals that are more cooperative, there are animals that are better working independently. Humans seem to have found a real optimum in how we interact with an odd and malleable mix of independence and cooperation. Even different human civilisations show remarkable variance in material results depending on how they choose to organise themselves.
Unfortunately the bomb is obvious. It is not some eldritch construction which could be forgotten and lost forever without great effort to recreate. Once you have developed atomic physics the idea of a bomb is inevitable and once you know it can be done building one is trivial requiring only mundane resources (but a lot of them). You could explain how to build one to a child.

Increasing power is a consequence of expanding knowledge.

The point of credit scores isn’t to punish the borrower, it’s to allow future lenders to better gauge risk. No value is destroyed when you put a negative mark on someone’s credit report.

Revoking degrees would be equivalent to burning down houses in foreclosure. Such destruction of value is obvious madness.

I love that the article mentions one of my biggest gripes with nuclear power, that it does not lend itself to scaling down to the level of the individual household.

The inescapable implication is that nuclear is inherently a centralized, big government or big industry solution... in stark contrast to household-scale solutions like solar and wind, which tend to promote the preservation of individual freedom and self determination, since control can stay with the individual owners.
