Cannabis smoke, like any smoke generated from combustion of plant matter, contains a number of carcinogenic compounds. Smoking cannabis does not cure cancer. Quite the opposite.

Your position that breathing air is unhealthy without cannabis is quite interesting. I'd love to see some of the studies you're talking about. I have never seen a study concluding that smoke inhalation is a good thing.
Well, that's why the comment is "any other CA" rather than "anyone".

Starting yet another CA is definitely not to be taken lightly.
There aren't any, and the solution itself is uninteresting, but it's possible that techniques developed in the process of solving it will find application in solving other problems (In physics, chemistry, genetics, cryptography...)

Consider the most important function of calculus - the integral. In layman's terms, it measures the area under a graph. Okay - that's a little bit useful, if you care about the physics of moving objects (A bus is accelerating at 2 m/s^2 for 5 seconds, how far does it travel..?)

Yet, if you know how to integrate, a mountain of not-immediately obvious physics problems - say, anything that has to do with electromagnetism (Maxwell's equations) immediately become tractable.

This only works if you don't have x as a value determining the length of the for loop. If you try to take the derivative of x^x using a loop multiplying x times, you'll get a wrong answer (admittedly, expecting a right answer would be foolish).

But this goes to question at hand, whether AD should be a library/DSL or whether it should be a primitive of a general purpose language. The thing is a general purpose language lets you present sorts of things as functions that can't be even dual numbers won't take the derivative of correctly - a dual scheme can't distinguish variable order loops from constant order loops.
How would anyone at work know if you woke up earlier and enjoyed a slow morning?
>What kind? Accurate?

no, the type that omits relevant information in order to scare people. nearly every article I've seen talking about the dangers of vaping has failed to mention flaws in the studies that they cite, and there's never a follow-up. numerous articles were written citing a study that burned liquid at incredibly high temperatures. A person would never use a vape that way.

In this case, we know that these people were vaping, but we have no cause. Another article came out today that found high amounts of vitamin e in THC oils these people were vaping[1]. I couldn't find a mention of that in the article.

There are an estimated 10 million people who vape in this country. We have a tiny, tiny fraction who have demonstrable health issues related to it. in those cases it has almost always been a manufacturing issue, not an issue with vaping in general. I'm not trying to say it's perfectly safe, obviously that is unlikely to be the case, but cigarettes are absolutely going to kill you.

> Now place a candle in the middle of the room, one that shines light in every direction. As the light bounces around the different corners, will it always illuminate the whole room? Or will it miss some spots? A side effect of proving the magic wand theorem, Eskin said, is that it conclusively answers this old question.

This is a point light in the middle of a regular polygon right? Why is this noteworthy? Is it that the light settles on all points evenly? Is it in spite of some sort of phase cancellation thing?
Drinks like White Claw might have some added sugar, but they must not have much compared to beer. Probably fewer calories than an equivalent ABV beer.

From a brewery ( https://www.allagash.com/blog/calories-in-beer/?ao_confirm ):

> A 5% ABV BEER WILL HAVE AROUND 100 CALORIES FROM ALCOHOL ALONE.

From White Claw's FAQ ( https://www.whiteclaw.com/faq/faq-4/ ):

> Our White Claw® Hard Seltzer 12oz fruit flavors have 100 Calories, 2 grams of Carbohydrates/Sugars per serving size (355 ml can), and 5% ABV.

So basically they are close to the minimum number of calories necessary to include that much alcohol.

1. By accelerating dramatically off the line, you're telling the other cars that they are driving too slowly.

2. Alternatively: you may be sending a signal that you want to drag-race with someone. And nobody likes it when drag-racers start playing on public roads. Keep that stuff off the streets and on the track only.

Now sure, if the cars next to me are driving slowly, I'll leave them in the dust. But its not something I'll do on every green-light, and its something I'd do only if they're going exceptionally slowly (ex: driving 40mph in a 60mph zone)

Those are the two signals I perceive whenever someone accelerates strongly off of a green light: either #1, or #2, depending on context. There's certainly a time to signal #1, but its a relatively rare event.

For what it’s worth, I’ve run into some issues with this guidance from you guys as I’ve been building out a private CA with ACME support. A lot of ACME clients have hard coded renewal at 30 days prior to expiration, which makes them pretty worthless for managing short-lived private certificates. Using a percentage might not encode a fixed SLA very well, but as a default it does accommodate various lifetimes well.

I can see pros/cons either way, just thought you might be interested in this feedback.
Sounds like you're making bold assumptions about people's beliefs about whether the extra argument would go before or after the existing argument :)

We (I'm 50+) know for sure many more things and I see the surprise of junior developers but the exact details? There are too many of them, especially because senior developers often are not narrowly focused on a single part of a project.

A simple example. I'm working with Rails, Django, Phoenix and React (3 different projects). I know I need to do a strftime but I don't remember the exact details in any of Ruby, Python, Elixir and JavaScript. I always google them or grep the source code for other instances.
https://leafist.com/news/health/are-cannabis-vape-pens-safe for a brief overview of the extraction process —- but as another commenter mentioned, the issue is there’s no verification. If you want to make real use of a blockchain, it’d be to tag all these cartridges with a QR code that is tied to specific farm, and there would be a third party that the county would require to test the contents. Then when I purchase I can view it on some public chain. This already happens for large scale growers at (reputatable) dispensaries who sell flower. Most larger companies (Marly Naturals, Jetty Extracts, to name a couple) in the cannabis space typically have good quality. As far as the nicotine vapes, it’s less regulated so you’re more likely to get some bad “juice” from a place with low/no standards.
D is too high level, is not really pythonic, and the syntax seems to be too distant from C.

I just wish C had some nicer things, like a string type, maps, etc. python indentation would also make it readable.

D has a lot of difference with C/C++, even if it does things right.

C is nice because it's simple and readable.

D looks like it's using a lot of new syntax and it looks hard to adapt/learn.

It seems to me that the problem with public markets isn't so much the timing but the presence of a profit motive. Trying to beat the S&P 500 over any period from 1 year to 50 years seems like a daunting task.

Being in public markets forces a company to care about maximizing the return on capital. Different CEOs have different abilities to communicate the timeline investors should actually expect returns. Bezos seems exceptionally talented at extending the expected timelines of profitability when communicating to investors.

The real benefit of private companies appears to be the secrecy and the freedom to do things without any hint of a profit motive. SpaceX stands as a shining example. Their goal is to get to Mars. They won't go public unless they already regularly go to Mars or maybe if they desperately need the money.

Another example is Chick-fil-A, the third-largest fast-food chain in the US. They close their restaurants on Sundays due to religious reasons. This costs the company almost 15% of revenue. Whether or not you agree with the policy, it's hard to imagine it would last long if Chick-fil-A was public.

The real value of staying private is not disclosing financials and getting to do whatever you want. The goal of your private company doesn't have to be maximizing returns if you don't want it to be.

An LTSE seems to only offer value for CEOs who have trouble communicating the strategy and long term vision of the company. Amazon doesn't have any trouble with that communication. Neither does Alphabet. Maybe placing your company in an LTSE will providing useful signaling but I'm not sure about the real impact it'll make outside of the retail investment market.
>Imagine a room made out of perfect mirrors, Eskin said. It doesn't have to be a rectangle; any weird polygon will do. (Just make sure the angles of the different walls can be expressed as ratios of whole numbers. For example, 95 degrees or two-thirds of a degree would work, but pi degrees would not.)

My impression was that it did not have to be a regular polygon.
that's the hardest part, but how is it proved now? by providing evidence. A nonprofit like letsencrypt could be the custodian responsible for onboarding a new cert, after that they dont need to provide anything else. It is a problem that appears exactly once in a blockchain, while cert renewals are their achilles' heel

The only constraint on the polygon is that the angles are rational multiples. There all kinds of crazy non-convex shapes that satisfy this constraint, which is why the result is noteworthy.
Thanks!

IMO something like this is a true measure of technological advancement of a nation. This means India is roughly as technologically advanced as the US was 60 years ago, which is impressive by any measure, since space-related things haven't progressed all that much since then. They got super close this time. In a couple more attempts they'll figure it out if they don't run out of money. I hope Modi sees the potential to inspire the nation. For 10 cents per person, inspiring people to take up science is a no-brainer.

If it were that easy to stop I wouldn't be vaping in the first place.
> Apple is light years ahead of Google where privacy and security are concerned.

Privacy I'd agree, but security? Apple's security track record is straight up hot garbage. Their cloud security is a complete joke (iCloud has been hacked how many times now?). Google's cloud security meanwhile has a stellar record. Outside of cloud yeah Apple has lots of security buzzwords, but they still are repeatedly hacked. We are, after all, talking about a post where 5 different 0-days were actively exploited on iOS. And just about every release of iOS has had critical escalation vulnerabilities (aka, jailbreaks) - such as the CoreTrust bypass exploit in iOS 12 ( https://gist.github.com/pwn20wndstuff/a57b213a6f8c75cb3b9a8c... )

Android has an update problem, but between all the hardening that's been done there (such as extensive selinux policies) it's pretty fucking solid, and is backing that up with results.
I think BuddyBuild is an interesting point similar to Fastlane because they were IIRC acquired and shut down the cross-platform side of their operation. I’ve always been curious about the motives for that move, given the apparent organizational disagreement at Apple over the value of developer experience.

Not sure if that's what GP is referring to, but one thing it would do is increase your attack surface...

If I setup bank.mycompany.com and discourse.mycompany.com as CNAMEs, bank.mycompany.com now sets a cookie at mycompany.com, and discourse.mycompany.com is hacked.. the latter could be used to read the cookies from the first. Which wouldn't have happened without the CNAMEs, or if my company.com was on the PSL.

Lots of "ifs" and "buts" though before something like that would happen in practice...

That is a silly justification for a silly rule. They idea that you have to go to a state run store to by booze is soviet-like. Really, that's stupid. When I'm in California one can shop around and get selection and price. In North Carolina or Virginia one is limited to a soviet style market. To make a stretch from a working free market to rehab is fallacious and simple minded.
Yep. That's my preferred solution, obviously ;)

Are you familiar with immigration to countries other than the US? I have been working in this country as a web developer for the past 2 1/2 years now; I have American and Hong Kong citizenship. (I would be willing to renounce one of them). I was thinking of eventually working in New Zealand or Japan and possibly settling down there as well. I was wondering how difficult it would be to secure employment in my field there and to get a work visa and/or citizenship eventually. Do you know of any other countries where this process would be easier than average?
Presumably they're volunteers and get compensated for it? Some people enjoy that kind of challenge and thrive from helping people and communities.
This was a challenge for blekko when we built our search engine. A major component to ranking a URL is the cumulative rank of the domain it is hosted on. You don't wan't URL ranking to leak between independent sites sharing the same top level domain. Blog hosting sites are a prime example.

Another factor was budgeting crawl resources. The crawler has a lot of pages to crawl and if you let it, it'd just do a deep dive on amazon.com and never come back. So dividing crawl budget between domains and subdomains is important. As noted in the article, it can be gamed so you have to guard against that algorithmically and occasionally make special cases.

Prior to the Public Suffix List (https://publicsuffix.org/) project I was using the Mozilla project's list of top level domains. I had code that would download the latest TLD list from Mozilla (and later the publicsuffix.org) and generate a trie that the blekko crawler could traverse to obtain the TLD and the subdomain. Blekko kept all sorts of data on every domain and subdomain, including (but not limited to) domain rank, host IPs, country, language, average porn score per page, etc.

My Perl TLD parsing code is here: https://github.com/randomstring/Net-Domain-PublicSuffix

Interesting aside: the TLD .US (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.us) has some "weird" rules that must have seemed like a good idea when they were proposed, but complicate parsing rules. For instance in the hostname town.windermere.fl.us the "town" is significant to differentiate it from a potentially different entity hosted on co.windermere.fl.us (the county of Winermere Florida, if such a thing exists). Thankfully, few cities/counties/villages/etc use theses convoluted .us domains. Many opt for a more traditional TLD (seattle.gov for instance).
That is interesting, and also surprising.
I don't disagree with you, and it all comes up after the 20 second standup and in the code reviews, not in the interview, and not in a two week long orientation

The OP said "want to do," though, which is pretty subjective, right? I don't actually care about not being able to use a different browser engine, but I do care about not being able to set a third-party mail client as my default. There are things that I want to do on my iPad that I can't, but not all of them have to do with Apple platform policy -- UIKit's lackluster text editing components are undeniably contributing to the relative suck of Scrivener and Slugline on iOS compared to their Mac counterparts, for instance. (Although one might argue developers might be motivated to work more on homegrown components if the App Store was structured differently; personally, I think Apple's 30% cut is not the worst problem.)
