It's moving from an ad hoc approach to a more definite, clarified criteria. Before some of these videos were being removed and some not but now there's more of a clear framework by which to judge offending content.

you can squabble over definitions of words all you like but they've always been against hateful content. they are just clarifying what is hateful.
Well, yes, there is a creepy element of Orwellianism to this. And the creepy Orwellianism comes in when you make comparisons like the one you just made - that I’m somehow wrong today because, centuries ago, a few scientists had some pet racial theories that turned out to be wrong. It’s a deliberate inversion of language meant to get people to submit.
The thing is that the human body suffers just as much from wear and tear like anything else, and if you have ADHD then this can affect you even worse due to a proneness for repetitive physical behaviors due to stimming.

Crystal puts a lot of these behaviors into overdrive without you even noticing, regardless of how much you do to alleviate the side-effects, they will still take their toll.

I'm now in my mid 30's, and even tho I haven't done a lot of crystal in my life (probably 3 grams max, I never needed much because the effects were super strong even in tiny doses) I'm now at a point where even the smallest dose will give me troubles with my jaw bones and (otherwise healthy) teeth simply due to the wear and tear of the induced teeth gnawing, it's not something I can or want to do anymore.

For a cannabis alternative, you might want to take a look here [0]. Just be aware that even with a list like that, you will still need to experiment because these effects can vary greatly from individual to individual, so you need to figure out what works best for you.

A good addition to that is CBD oil orally taken when taking a tolerance break (every 3 weeks I take a 1-week break) and can also serve as a life-saver if you ever end up with some strain giving you anxiety/too much of a psychotic high.

As a general rule: Sativas are on the more active end, Indicas are usually the ones sending you to sleep, hybrids can be anything between them.

You might also want to consider a different method of application than smoking if those effects ain't doing it for you. Vaping is healthier and surfaces the effects differently, the same holds true for edibles. Canacaps are not that difficult to prepare, it's just cannabis infused oil put in capsules, but can be very effective (long duration) and you can use them without everybody around you instantly smelling it.

Tho, always be careful with edible dosing, even experienced "stoners" regularly underestimate the potency of edibles.

Take care and I hope there's something useful here that will help you find a more natural remedy to keep you productive and healthy.

Razer Forge TV, OUYA, and MadCatz Mojo Game Stores are shutting down
Not surprising at all. It's become clear that what they've been doing with iOS all along is bootstrapping a new operating system. They started with Unix, not because Unix was optimal for what they wanted to do, but it's what they had and it worked well enough. Copland and Taligent and the rest failed because of Second-System Effect, which Apple was smart enough to avoid.

(As RMS wrote in 1983, "Unix is not my ideal system, but it is not too bad. The essential features of Unix seem to be good ones, and I think I can fill in what Unix lacks without spoiling them. And a system compatible with Unix would be convenient for many other people to adopt.")

Whereas such features as "background tasks" were simply a natural consequence of the architecture of Unix, Apple didn't expose that on iOS. Now they've finally gotten around to designing the background task subsystem they really want, and it's not just an emergent property of the generic Unix way. It's built for protecting battery life and privacy. It happens to be built on Unix processes (right?), but that's just an implementation detail for them.

They've been gradually deprecating Unix for 20 years, and designing the OS they want. iOS and its App Store allowed them to kill off large sections of the old interface at once. I fully expect inside of 5 years for all of Apple's operating systems to drop "UNIX" certification and become almost unrecognizable as "Unix". They've got enough market clout now that people will port Ruby/Python/Perl to a non-Unix macOS, just as they port them to Microsoft Windows.
Not sure what methodology you follow, but freedom means freedom. If I don't care to leave a better world than that's my right. It doesn't make me a good person but freedom is freedom.
Pyfavicon: Async Favicon Fetcher Library
Python has tons of functional features [1] while not being a purist FP by any means. This article liked to say quite often that "X would be impossible in Go or Java!" and I kept thinking, "I bet it's possible in Python, just not as academically wonderfully as you were hoping".

As it turns out, Python continues to be one of the top three languages in terms of popularity. It's not clear if this has helped feed a bigger userbase into purist FP languages though.

But YOU chose to buy the device. Nobody forced you to buy an Apple device.
I think apple fundamentally does not understand containers.

All the interesting container stuff is on other platforms.

It might be out of fear, maybe because apple doesn't want macos to be virtualized.

It would be really nice to have say the current xcode in one container and a dev xcode in another. It would be nice to farm work out to a lot of machines.

or a dockerfile like:
FROM macos:10.14

RUN installer xcode...
RUN xcode-build myproject
Simultaneity is only relative when events A and B are far enough apart that it would have been impossible for light to get from one to the other between the two events. When there is a single location, it's objective whether something has zero or nonzero duration.

And while observers disagree on their personal measurements of duration, they will always agree about what a clock sitting at the location will measure.

> So, throw out $480 as an energy number for our $1000. That means old hardware that's less energy efficient to the tune of $40 a month will out-impact the manufacturing cost of the new machine in a year.

That seems like an obscenely high difference in monthly energy cost (if we're going for an apples-to-apples comparison, in contrast with the article's posed comparison of a desktop workstation v. a consumer laptop). For reference, I run multiple desktops, multiple laptops, a full-size fridge, lights, fans, and an Echo, all mostly 24/7, and per PG&E my total monthly power bill (near SF) is less than that (and most of my hardware is on the older side).

We're more realistically talking (from my experience, running a lot of the sorts of older desktops the article mentions) a difference closer to $4 than $40. Even $10 (which would still be a pretty high estimate) would extend your estimate to 4 years until break-even.
I've been reading a lot of discussion about the Apple Sign In in the past few days and none of the comments mentioned the following: if you use Apple Sign In, you will only be able to use it to access your account(s), because it will (if I understood correctly) generate different email addreeses for each OAuth consumer service. Right now, if I want to, I can log in using either Google or Twitter as long as the web app supports it, because Google and Twitter both give the service the same email address. Now, I realize the whole point of this is giving more privacy to the end user, but it also locks in the end users to use only Apple Sign In for all services they logged in once via Apple Sign In. As somebody mentioned it already in a different thread, it would've been so much better if there was an open standard for this...

Clarification in the documentation about what happens with swap files would be nice, especially as aliases are added.

“Conceal” (but not the manpage) suggests it won’t ever be written to swap, but “nocore” as a performance optimization suggests paging to swap is fine.

If dirty concealed pages can’t be swapped, then it starts to look like mlock(), which requires escalated privileges on linux, at least...

(Though, paging dirty mmapped pages to swap is kind of confusing in the first place.)

Because euthanasia is a good thing, a mercy that you allow your fellow human being suffering the harshest of cruelties the world forces upon us, and this was not a good thing.

> If free speech is a right worth protecting from the government, it’s worth protecting against equally powerful corporations.

But corporations' ability to decide what to host is guaranteed by freedom of speech. Remember, freedom of speech is not just freedom to say what you want it's also freedom from compelled speech. It's the freedom from the government telling you to make or host speech. Mandating that corporations host speech they don't want is not protecting freedom of speech, it is violating freedom of speech.

I would say it's like worrying about a finger prick in a mortally wounded patient. It would be better if the finger isn't pricked, but I think maybe there are more important things to worry about.
Hmm, I see your point, but on the other hand: is that really a good reason to continue the status quo of shell scripting if there are improvements to be made?

Being practical about it: if you install fish you can also install bash, and then running a bash script is as simple as `bash script.sh`, so you can have your cake and eat it too.

Although, in this particular instance, if Apple is going to cease shipping bash at all, I can see why this would be annoying out of the box.

That’s the plan. I don’t plan to get a degree in CS. The most I’d be willing to do is attend a boot camp and that’s a big IF.

Like I mentioned in the comment to the other commenter, the only CS course I took in college was Python. I’m very familiar with it but haven’t used it too much. I am not wanting to change careers because I also have a similar job like yours. I have plenty of time to learn and I just want to stay productive.

Anyways, thanks for the info. Really. And good luck on your PE if and when you take it. It’s not hard. It’s just a lot.

> To me your passage itself is an indicator that that’s not the level most three year olds are at.

I think we can focus more heavily on pre-scholastic education without raising our expectations. No one ever expected me to do anything; my family tree is extremely anti-intellectual.

Despite the lack of expectations, I found the motivation to educate myself. The main driving motivation was fear of not being in control of myself or of being controlled by others, which I found knowledge could combat.

We don't typically instill this motivation in children, because largely as parents we just either don't know any better or don't have the motivation ourselves.

But I don't think that the average performance of a preschooler is indicative of the potential average performance. Too many factors come into play.

So without raising expectations, we can increase our attention to our children's developmental years, and instill within them the proper motivations by example.

Again, it isn't easy. And you're right, it doesn't completely generalize. Every person is unique.

But I'm shooting for the average here. On average, we take for granted the learning capacity of children, and take for granted how much the early phases of their childhood impacts the rest of their life.

To bring it back around, YouTube itself, in addition to tons of other online resources, has been a fundamental tool in my education. I would not nearly be where I am today without it. I can only imagine what I could have accomplished if YouTube as it is today existed in my youth.

I don't think we should be denying that to children.

I agree that Google needs to do better. It's that, or outside regulation will eventually creep in and turn the internet into the new TV.
OK, so 235 kg of U_235 has the same number of fissile units (N atoms = 1000 x N_a) as 5 kg of D-T has of fusible units (2N atoms of combined weight 5 amu, or 1000 x N_a pairs) so (ignoring the N_a for now) one kg of U_235 gives 200 MeV / 235 = 0.85 MeV and the D-T fusion gives 17 MeV / 5 = 3.40 MeV

So, yeah, that's exactly four times the energy per kilogram. Now, why couldn't they just say THAT on the web page instead of the confusing and meaningless "this energy is 3-4 times more powerful than that energy" nonsense? But, thanks 'mikeash for clearing that up for me!

> I am left wondering if these questions are really as hard as they are made out to be

It's not really about how hard they are, and more about:

"Ive never once in my career had to use this on the job, why is it asked in an interview, thats stupid!".

That's usually the answer you'll get. But I think that answer contains a lot more info than what we can gather from it at first glance.

First, good places will give you hints about what the interview might contain long before you show up. If it's for one of the well known big techs, the questions are all over the internet. They know this. The question essentially amounts to: "Can you make sure you know something about computer science if we ask you to know it". If your answer is "No, that's not worth my time, I'm better than this!", well, I can see why someone wouldn't hire you.

The second part, is that it is a self fulfilling prophecy. 20 years ago, a typical team was mostly CS majors, with the occasional odd one out who didn't (I was one of those odd ones out). That means if you didn't know it, it didn't really matter. You could just turn around and bounce it off one of your colleagues. If you made a mistake, they'd catch it. Today however, especially in fields like frontend development, its extremely likely ZERO person in the team has a CS background, or the 1-2 people who did don't remember anything from their college years. That means some problems quickly fall in the category of "This isn't worth trying, let's use a 3rd party solution or wait until the one expert in the company does it for us".

Thus, self fulfilling prophecy: you don't need to know these things because the industry punted on the problems you'd need these things to solve, or deferred them to other departments. Web apps, for example, are often very animation light, or low on more advanced graphics, because no one knows the math to make these things happen anymore aside from using a library to make a pretty chart. Since your competitors are in the same boat, there's no pressure to change that. And then those folks feel its dumb to ask these questions in interviews (They don't need it!), and the cycle keeps going.

"Why would I need these if Im building forms in javascript all day!". Well, maybe if more people in the team knew how to do more than build forms, we could try and build something fancier than forms.

Far as I've seen on systems with MMU's generally you get page fault. And then the OS handles that and issues a seqfault. Which is what happens usually when you start trying to poke at random addresses.

On an ARM Cortex, if you try and read a null pointer you get the top of stack address. Least on my machine/compiler. If you try and write, then you get a bus fault. Beacuse flash memory is mapped to that address.

On an AVR, I think reading gives you the reset vector. And write to address 0 is useally a nop. I think with some magic though you can write to that page of flash.

So yeah. Kinda depends.

> many long term archives should simply including everything necessary to deal with them in the present day as a container or VM image

Unfortunately, any such image would presume you have access to the hardware, or it has low-level instruction sets/processor design baked in. Think how many PDP-11's are around today. And in terms of an archive it's only been 50 years since the PDP-11 was invented. That's a blink of an eye in terms of archival standards.
