Even though I wish I could say that I was insightful enough to think about that when I originally posted, if you define a social safety net from the social viewpoint, it would also probably help if people dealing with emotional issues had someone to turn to and we treated clinical depression as a medical issue more often than we do.

But, I am far out of my area of expertise to know anything about clinical depression.
I could up until last year, by Codeine over the counter in France and there wasn’t a widespread opioid crisis. Some hysterical parents lobbied to get codeine prescription only in France and he hasn’t done anything for the levels of addiction— it only make it more obnoxious to have to go to the doctor to get a prescription for a €2.50 package of pills — pills that were amazing for coughs and headaches. I probably used that medicine once every few months when stricken by a bad cough or headache. Now, one has to spend €35 to visit a doctor just to get a pill that used to be readily available from the pharmacy. But hey, as long as we “protect the children” right? I can still buy liquor over the counter and it does more harm than most products one can consume.
I agree with the sentiment of changing the narrative, but productivity seems to already be a big part of western society and it seems pretty soul-less. Why not focus on well-being of everyone?

My business is in a county with high drug addicts. This used to be a growing county in the mid-70s with a high number of manufacturing jobs with good pay. As manufacturing started to decline, drug usage started to go up.

I moved from California. One thing I noticed that doctors in this area will easily prescribe pills compare to Calfornia. Everyone takes pain killers. Pretty much everyone carries pain killers all the time.

True. Most of what I've been taught after high school feels like "you've been lied to, everything you were taught in high school was wrong or grossly oversimplified and now you need to unlearn it all and relearn from scratch." Makes you wonder what the purpose of high school was in the first place.

Mmm, I agree. I think I got tripped up by this line:

> That led eventually to AGPL, a kind of fork of GPL, but outside FSF, also to licenses that simply require sharing back whether you distribute your work or not.

...because I read it as "the AGPL requires sharing back whether you distribute your work or not", and felt like splitting hairs for the case where you expose the work, but only internally to a group.

Are there licenses that say if you run an altered copy, you have to contribute back sources, no matter who interacts with it?

Such interrogations can often occur before someone is accused. At that point, they're just a potential witness and may not be in custody and therefore might not even have been 'Mirandized'.

As I understand it anyway, I'm a furriner. We don't have anything like Miranda in the UK, but of course the same ethical issues apply.
Might be a difference in wording. As I recall, 2/3 of Seattle homeless are not sleeping on the street (instead they are in cars or shelters), which may make them "sheltered". The other 1/3 are in the street and if most of them are addicts, then yes, about 1/3 of total homeless are addicted as well
Which might explain why Americans, with all this uniformity and expansive private space, were uniquely eager to make up stories about what must be going on behind their neighbors' facades.

So do I, I made the HN submission, I just find the second part unbelievable.

No entity 'embraces' people acting against it, even if in the interest of a cause it claims to be all for.

It's basically union strike action without a capital-U union. I'm sure no company's ever honestly 'thought', or perhaps even said, 'Yes, you're right, thank you' in the face of union strikes.

I'm not sure this is a great idea.

I have a couple projects in QuickLisp, and more than once I've broken them after I pushed incremental or non-working changes to my repo, didn't go back and fix them in time, and QL pulled the broken code.

Developing in branches would solve the problem, but not everybody does that on smaller informal projects.

On the other hand, I've also been annoyed waiting for bug fixes to trickle through to Quicklisp, so it's not an entirely bad idea...
> If this figure holds constant throughout the West Coast, then at least 11,000 homeless opioid addicts live in Washington, 7,000 live in Oregon, and 65,000 live in California (concentrated mostly in San Francisco and Los Angeles)

This is a pretty silly assumption to make when the data for San Francisco and Los Angeles show different, where less than a third of the homeless is addicted.

And given how the housing crisis is so much worse in San Francisco and Los Angeles than Seattle, it's choosing exactly the wrong data points to extrapolate from.

Further, it ignores how once someone is homeless it is much easier to fall into addiction, as other homeless people are often your support network and there's a higher incidence of addiction among the homeless, spreading it.

All too often "not my fault" is a reason to avoid addressing the parts that are our fault.
I think words per minutes seems like a highly problematic metric, for a variety of statistical logics reasons.

Instead, I think we should try to measure multi-word expressions (MWEs) per second, and consider special characters (including spaces!) as words.

Why? Well, to start with, due to us already knowing about the Auerbach-Estoup-Yule-Zipf-Pareto-Mandelbrot-Simon-Price Law(s) only holding for multi-word expressions, not for phonemes, words, characters or syllables. Can't dig up the papers on that right now, tho.

(Personally however, I suspect that MWEs per second ain't the be all, end all, of reading speed, either. It ignores concepts like Paronomasia & Polysemy, as well as even more obscure things, like Polyphonemes. I just so far lack sufficient knowing of any possibly plausible hyperparameterizations which'd generally let one compile some metric for further complexity reductions.)

I'd elaborate on /how/ that (partially) answers the "why", but I lack the time to do so at the moment.
Leviticus is mentioned in the article - hence the comments on what is original.
This is quite close to the plot of the The Wire. It's amazing that, 20 years later, we're still having the exact same discussions. Although I suppose that David Simon knew that, when he was working on The Wire, he was in some ways reproducing the same structures that have been in place since the "War on Drugs" and the '70s.
And someone else could better serve Google's customers by scraping their search results and infopanels and serving up the content without any ads or tracking.

Also, a company could better serve cable customers by recording all their content and stream it to customers charging a low monthly fee.

Neither of these are much different from Google's practices in regards to their info panels.
I think this is a belonging crisis disguised as an addiction crisis. People mostly become addicted because they don't have strong social ties to family, friends, church, whatever. If it were just a physical reaction to drugs every Grandma with a hip replacement would be a junky on the streets. But good luck putting families back together again.
It's not called the central dogma of biology for nothing!

But seriously, in my understanding it's taught that way to try to rid people of mystical pre-evolutionary notions. Once they have firmly grasped the basics they can move on to super-interesting corners where stranger things may happen, and about which people are still arguing.

The physics analogy is people arriving with mistaken intuition about "when does the dead body roll out of the truck" level problems. The fact that Newton isn't the end of the story doesn't spare you from having to un-learn Hollywood/Aristotle first. Nor will your earlier confusion be any help in wrapping your head around post-Newton concepts.
> Why not focus on well-being of everyone?

Because that won't gain consensus.

But demonstrating how some parts of our culture undermine productivity can.

I think we could reach similar outcomes, if the lack of well-being can be proven to show that it undermines productivity.

From this article: https://www.thesunmagazine.org/issues/519/filling-the-void

"The true source of drug addiction: a society organized around the quest for wealth and geopolitical power, which creates enormous dislocation. This pursuit of wealth and power inevitably produces widespread addiction, which we insist on calling a “drug problem.”"

We live in a society where record numbers of people are lonely, depressed, and disconnected. We worship consumerism and the economy, and idolize weirdo greedlords like Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump.

Increased opioid regulation has had the effect of forcing a lot of people who are in pain to suffer even more. The addictions that plague our society won't go away until we fix the underlying problems that make people so vulnerable in the first place.

The difference is when one party doubles down on unpopular choices they become more likely to be voted out of office. This is direct communication between the populace and rulers.

In single party systems, dictatorships, etc leaders are frequently acting on really bad information or simply don’t feel the need to back down. Thus, such things tend to build up and compound over time.
Several *BSD projects have been using the Clang toolchain by default for many years, and have been a massive driving force in getting these fixes upstreamed so that other systems, incl. Linux distributions can benefit from greater choice of compilers.

FreeBSD since 10.x on i386/amd64, not sure about the status on other platforms.

OpenBSD since 6.1 for arm64, 6.2 for i386/amd64. This is both default for the base system, meaning kernel and userland. And also the ports tree, for compiling 3rd party packages, very few ports still depend on gcc.

And also, while not the default system compiler yet, LLVM/clang is compiled and installed on macppc/sparc64 and mips64 systems.

Np. We're on the same side. The gist of my point is we (i.e., USA) are fond of treating symptoms and then we wonder why they persist.

Frankly, imho, this is often driven by politicians. They're fond of make campaign promises to solve Issue X. The problem is, they've gotten the problem wrong.
Years ago, my band was harassed aggressively by border crossing guards while entering Canada. They insisted we had drugs with us and wanted us to confess. We knew we had nothing. Separated from my friends, threatened with what would happen when they found things, being told they were calling the dogs to search the car, seeing them going through our stuff, I had moments where I wondered if I had forgotten anything and if it might be better to confess just in case.

This is a dishonest narrative propped up with misunderstood statistics. He claims that saying "30% of homeless people" are addicts contradicts the claim that "80% of unsheltered" - but he's been arguing about how to get rid of homeless people for long enough to know that unsheltered is a subset of the homeless, and generally the group with the most issues (which is why they are sleeping outside and not even in a car).

Oddly enough, he fails to include any of the research we do have about the connection between cost of housing and rate of homelessness. When rents go up, homelessness goes up. http://fortune.com/2018/12/14/rent-homelessness-housing-inco...
When affordable housing disappears, evictions go up and homelessness goes up. http://komonews.com/news/local/washington-homelessness-resul...

One recent positive change was a state law increasing the time a tenant has to pay rent late from 3 days to 14 days. There are many programs that will help pay a one-time late rent, but none of them are instant. Lots of tenants will accept a landlord saying that if you're not out in three days you'll be evicted and spend that time scrambling to leave instead of scrambling to pay, so that they have a chance at renting again in the future - and there's a ton of evidence that preventing the initial step into homelessness is by far the cheapest and most successful way to prevent longterm issues. https://seattle.curbed.com/2019/4/26/18518477/eviction-refor...

Of course, Rufo and people who quote him admiringly tend not to support interventions like this at the point of entering homelessness, since they are committed to the idea that not having a place to live is not a cause of homelessness (which, to be clear, INCLUDES those who are staying with friends or using their social safety net).
Ask people if they care, they will say they do. Ask people to give $100 a month for conservation out of their pocket and it will be 1%.
The linked article reads: "Because students believe that learning and testing are separate things, they often study inefficiently"

Efficient learning is not only about performing during a test, but understanding the subject matter.
That seems like a mistake to turn on, given that clang also has options to error on uses of potentially uninitialized variables. Zero is often just as wrong as any other value, so this flag will hide real bugs.

In fact, I'd rather have a flag that clobbers values with random data, to make sure that uses of uninitialized values are caught as soon as possible.
They're still so tone deaf it's amazing. Or they aren't tone deaf but are playing the part anyway.

If heroin were freely available (it costs almost nothing to produce), heroin addicts could be productive members of society, and would have nothing to fear in seeking treatment.

Nodding is the only thing dangerous about heroin addicts who have access to heroin, everything else is a symptom of prohibition. Additionally, long-term heroin addicts who have a consistent supply don't really nod much, or for long. It's the gaps in supply (of unadulterated drugs with a predictable purity) and the consequent simultaneous reduction of tolerance and increase in desperation that causes accidental overdoses and deep nodding.

Nodding is of course dangerous for drivers and operators of heavy machinery, but it should be treated like we treat any other sort of chronic seizure issue.
Well I could just be unaware of some functionality they have, but all those tools do is version things. There's no integration with reference managers like Zotero (that I'm aware of), and no tracking of interrelations or metadata.

In contrast, Zotero (and other reference managers) don't do any versioning at all (at least that I'm aware of). Instead, they keep track of the metadata that's necessary to put together a works cited section for an academic paper.

... or at least that's what they started out doing. These days they also try to organize your papers into some sort of category structure, facilitate tagging and notes, provide synchronization between your devices, and probably a few other things that don't come to mind right now.

Feature creep? Sure, but all that stuff is central to the research and writing process. It's also all tightly coupled, so splitting it between multiple tools doesn't work very well. And that's the current problem - how to integrate, for example, a few of your browser bookmarks with your academic literature collection. Or how to track a list of all the papers cited by a particular paper. Or link a specific paper tracked by your reference management software against a specific version of a large data set, perhaps itself tracked by Git LFS.

Generalizing a bit, what about linking experimental notes (typically pen and paper) with data collection software (typically a binary), as well as the collected data (perhaps Git LFS), as well as a specific version of some data analysis scripts you wrote (perhaps Git). Now try to track everything as you work on multiple paper revisions with collaborators, each version of which adds (and sometimes removes) citations and could use a different (likely newer) revision of the collection software, data set, or analysis scripts.

Alternatively, for a data management scenario not directly involving writing papers consider molecular cloning using plasmids. You have a dozen semi-related tubes in a cryogenic freezer that you need to track over many years (ie long term inventory management), each of which has one or more pieces of sequencing data attached to it (so a small data set), they're all interrelated (you create a new one by physically modifying an old one), and each has the typical meta-links to experimental protocols, notes, academic literature, and other things.

I'm not aware of any software solutions that comprehensively address all of this stuff, so people still use pen and paper. But pen and paper is time consuming, it's error prone, it doesn't sync between devices, it's slow and tedious to cross reference - all the typical problems that software is good at addressing.

You are now aware that this is a copy of a nazi flag. If you decide to raise this flag today, I would have to say yes.

If I told you now there is a secret hand signal white supremacists are using then tomorrow you begin using it, then I would safely be able to assume the same.

It is not very difficult to see. If your love of this flag is "piss people off" then maybe you are willingly blind.
They aren't just doing it for simple utilities, they are literally trying to create some kind of "box" above search results for every possible query, subjective or objective. "Best movies of 2019", "What are the ingredients of pancakes?", the name of any store, restaurant, location, etc.

> if I am using the right elements and pay attention to the structure of my content it just naturally styles itself with CSS Grid

Why is that? Does Grid treat 'article'and 'section' differently than it treats plain 'div'?

I thought that the purpose of 'article' etc. was purely semantic, saying something about the meaning and purpose of content inside them, not how they should be laid out on the page.
I think a big part of it is the decline in social structures and lack of meaning in many people's life. Happy people with a meaningful life are much less likely to take drugs.
I guess I just don't see why that would cause the names to be "Insane". Random pet first name + owner's last name/sire's name seems fine.

> Raytracing is a not a problem that is well suited to GPUs since there are lots of data dependencies, which means parallelism is severely limited.

This is a joke right? I mean ray tracing is the most common example pointed at as being highly amenable to parallel computation. all ray computations are independent (i.e cores), all scene and BDRF data are shared - this matches GPU architecture perfectly, the only reason it's more of a recent trend is because even with parallel compute it's still demanding for real time performance.

If you don't believe me you can go to shadertoy right now and see endless demos doing raycasting and pathtracing in a quad.
The regulation on pharma should not be aimed at reducing supply (which is how it's done today, trying to avoid prescribing pain meds to anyone who is addicted) but on reducing the introduction of dependence. It's not going to solve everything, but there's a reason people are winning lawsuits against the Oxycontin manufacturers.
