In some senses, protons exert an "electrostatic pressure" on each other. The bound neutron cannot become a proton, because of this electrostatic pressure applied by its companion protons - if it were to become a proton, it would need to get over the hurdle of that "pressure". In empty space, this "pressure" doesn't exist, so the neutron can easily slide into a proton-electron-antineutrino state.

As an analogy, when you're hot (say temperature t1) you take your jacket off. However, if you are in a really cramped room with a lot of other people, you'll need to become a lot warmer (say temperature t2) to go through the hassle of removing your jacket and elbowing your neighbour in the eye. If the room is air-conditioned so that you only ever get to temperature t1.5 (where t1 < t1.5 < t2), you'll not take your jacket off, even though you would if you were in a free state.

Sure. But before everyone gets all uppity about US censorship, lets not forget that both China and North Korea are:
1.) Spying on their citizens. 2.) Not above an internet kill switch.

Do these comments do anything to further discussion?
People were doing this with Squid years before that, in the 90s.
The really high-level meta-advice here is to introspect and notice patterns. What circumstances and mental states lead to feeling bad? What methods have shown themselves effective for producing desired changes in feelings and behavior? Noticing this sort of thing can be very useful. It's certainly helped me.

In other words, we can do science to ourselves.

Harvard has a merit-based remote Master's program for Software Engineering[1] if you're interested in continuing education.

A strong professional network will help overcome most deficiencies. Companies are concerned with reputability and a school name or a degree are just a part of that. In that same vein, there are other areas of your professional reputation you can bolster as well.

My feelings are that "new" is really what you want. If you're thinking, "I want to make a new point at 20, 100", you probably want to write:

new Point(20, 100);

The problem in JS isn't the "new" keyword, it's how awkward and brittle prototypes are to create. You have to know to first define a constructor function (read "class object"), and then attach prototypal properties to it one at a time. If you intend to use the prototype chain for inheritance, you have to be even more careful, and bend over backwards to configure the prototype chain correctly, which requires the creation of a temporary intermediate function.

Thanks for your comment. I can't say I agree with your assessment of its current performance. I routinely need government data and I'm still waiting for the first time I find it on data.gov. I remember the contest and I thought the entries I saw were useless. Sorry to be so blunt, probably I just have higher expectations than you. Partly those were conditioned on Obama campaign promises, and partly they're conditioned on how the internet normally works.
Categorizing the stores by their data model is misleading. Tokyo Tyrant and Voldemort are very different: later is a multi-master, partitioned, distributed system; former is a network attached database. In fact, one could easily use Tokyo Cabinet as the persistence engine in Voldemort in place of BerkeleyDB.

A far better classification should be done along the lines of the distribution models and handling of failures. Do they use consistent hashing or range based partitioned? Under failure, is consistency or availability given up? Are there barriers to nodes rejoining after recovering from a failure? Is there an ordered, distributed commit log, etc...

It's much harder to change the distribution model than it is change the query model. Riak, HBase and Voldemort also have support for running custom code against which queries may be made. On the other hand, adding a totally ordered commit log (via serializing through a floating master or using consensus) to Voldemort or Riak, or adding multi-master (in the sense of multiple region servers taking reads and writes for the same partition) support to HBase is going to be far more difficult.

Creating a "grand classification scheme" that ignores the most important aspect suggests a dilettante approach (not saying the author is a dilettante, but it's a much more complex topic which requires more than dabbling).
I doubt you'll find any company that hires solely based on a degree. They all have an interview process designed to force you to prove you actually know how to code. Some use in-person interviews, some require code samples, but all require proof, and a degree is never proof in this field.

So no, I don't think he has hurt his career at all. Maybe slowed down the initial job, but with a decent portfolio (which he'd need anyhow) then his second job will be right back on track.

Those are searches for the string MSFT. The article uses the share price data that the author uploaded. See how the chart is labeled "User uploaded activity for MSFT and US Web Search activity for google interview questions."
This will have more than one valid solution, eg. 110 == -10 == (two).
Just be careful, Facebook monitors for scraping activity and has deleted accounts over this in the past.

Would be great if it offered a variable sleep option, to make it a bit less of a dead giveaway.
This is correct, especially for a company under the level of government privacy scrutiny as Facebook. An erroneous push that exposes private user data could lead to a very heavy fine.
.. And doesn't work in any browsers or JS engines that don't yet have Object.create, meaning it'll never work in IE < 9.

Instead, use a function like this:

var inherits = function(child, parent) {
var ctor = function(){};
ctor.prototype = parent.prototype;
child.prototype = new ctor;
ctor.prototype.constructor = child;
};
excellent work guys!
What strikes me is that you consider the need to fight against your depression. Consider the possibility that you are really exhausted as if you ran a marathon. Obviously, you'll be slower and slower and probably hardly running in the end. There may also be a reaction of your body to force you to slow down so that you don't exhaust you to death.

I also found out on myself that one may become tired for some type of activity, but I could switch to another type of intellectual activity giving a rest for the other. This is like switching to an activity using your arms when your legs are tired.

Every depression or burnout is different by its cause and they way we react to it. One should be carful with popular advices. I believe in the need to rest and get a break from what is exhausting. Then work out the small positive steps, etc. Or switch activity. Checkout vitamins, B especially.

Indeed,

Now if North Korea could only arrange to become one large company with its citizens relabeled employees, its laws relabeled "conditions of employment", and their prisons as "homeless camps" then no one could object.

Those who are fired are welcome to go "anywhere in the country not owned by KimCo" - IE to any of ten detention areas.

Can't you compensate for that? Most of the time planes fly normally - data could be gathered on how to relate the readings of engine management sensors to airspeed.

I don't mean using it as a primary source for airspeed data, but backups in case other sources show weird or no data. The data that comes from those sensors already enters the cockpit, so it would make sense to use it.

Yes, core.logic is definitely in need of more documentation. However it is under heavy development and I'm still unwilling to commit to some design choices just yet.

Even with documentation, I'll never be able to do justice to the art of logic programming - if you're willing to pick up The Reasoned Schemer you'll understand exactly how core.logic works and any good Prolog book will take you the rest of the way.
I would give more credit to the fact that there has been significant growth in what you might call "incredible", "awesome", etc. of late. Maybe the usage of those terms is appropriate given our circumstances in technology.

The issue with the titles is probably something else.

I just don't think that I have any moral right to comment on Iranians and/or their government if I am letting my government do the same.

If you get paid biweekly that happens twice a year, so its not terribly exciting. What was cool was a couple of years ago I was lucky enough to get paid (biweekly) 27 times in a year. That was exciting.
Dudes I lived two years out of this, with the Italian adsense market that is for sure poorer than US market (and has possibly more relative competition, as free-money here is something people pay really a lot attention to...).

I was just using NNTP to fetch news and publish them on the web (now this does not work anymore, but there are tons of other stuff you can do).

So in short, yes, that works very well in my experience, and is ideal to fund your work for your startup without external help.
Author there. Let me explain - core.logic is a Prolog-like logic engine written in Clojure. It is in fact so similar to Prolog that it's actually quite trivial to port Prolog code as I've done here. The other nice bit is that core.logic is quite fast - it is not the toy implementation of Prolog that you see so often.

UPDATE: edited the examples to show concrete types so it's easier to understand.
Is the engine airflow at any given regime completely independent of airspeed? I would never use it as a primary source, but it could be used to flag abnormal readings of other instruments.

how do they separate culture from language? i am bilingual. i switch between english and spanish depending on the cultural context. sure, my behaviour changes - but why is that connected with the language, and not with the culture?
Given the roots in Perl, which has the %INC hash, it's surprising that Ruby started with an array for loaded modules. Can anyone shed some light on this design decision? Surely there was a reason at some point -- and maybe there still is.
I'm not sure which of these factors contributed most to getting out of my bad spot, but in no particular order:

1. Running. (Strength training is good for many other goals, but frankly handling heavy objects isn't safe when you're severely fucked up and can't see straight. I can run even when I'm pretty deep in the hole and it has an almost curative effect.)

2. Making friends.

3. Starting a project I was actually successful at.

4. Learning not to tie my self-worth quite so tightly to my performance. The notion of "human dignity" -- the idea that all people have worth, even the ones who have personal flaws or make mistakes -- is really important.
I just don't think that I have any moral right to comment on Iranians and/or their government if I am letting my government do the same.

Huh? I don't think have a moral right to ignore the oppression of people in other countries. And yes, as an American, it is easier for me to comment on the situation in Iran. And that's why I should - to help people who have a harder time helping themselves.

This is the model of Amnesty International, for example.

People one country protest repression in another because they can. And yes, Amnesty has looked at quite a number of problematic US actions (and I imagine Canadian actions as well).
But it can be used to precisely determine the altitude, which is what really matters if you're about to crash or go too high and stall.

I have a relative who spent about 20 years in therapy, and was very set against any drug treatment. This is someone who exercised, also participated in 12 step groups (for friends/spouses of addicts), group therapy, made lots of friends, etc.

After being nudged a bit by a doctor and finding the right antidepressant, she has done a total 180 and is something of an advocate for mental medication, for those who need it/are diagnosed for it.

To answer your specific question, she seems to be spending much more time and energy on productive things, i.e. getting advanced degree, professional license, giving presentations for work, than on interpersonal drama and other side effects of depression that had haunted her. She did go through one or two meds before finding the "right" one. Not sure how long treatment lasted for her, I believe she is no longer on them.

I have come to realize as a result of this experience just how biased our whole society is against medication for mental health disorders. Just as it was biased against therapy for decades and decades (and now, ironically, therapy is considered by some a way of being tough and avoiding medication). I was so happy to see the "say yes to drugs" portion of TFA.

I've argued before that "intellectual property" should pay for its state protection like real estate does - i.e. be subject to property taxes, just for being there.

Fiddling with the numbers, one can make a reasonable tax equivalent to a few decades of (tax-free) protection, with the property reverting to the state/public domain in the end. The current time-span figures (closing on to a century) make the tax risible.
He states "I have changed some details to protect the innocent."

While I haven't tested any of the examples myself, I'd assume they're subtly munged.
However, PHP was designed from the outset to run in this mode so the interpreter is an order of magnitude faster than Perl, which is what competed with PHP back in 2001 -- PHP was ~designed~ through and through to do what it does, and that's why it does it so well.
Standard hill-climbing would indeed work better under the assumption that the fitness landscape is fairly unimodal, in terms of local optima. In this problem that may or may not be the case. I think that this is the motivation for a somewhat more "global" search strategy (something that can escape local optima) like genetic algorithms.

That being said, amongst the possible candidates for search strategies, genetic algorithms are fairly lousy. Differential Evolution or CMA-ES would likely work far better.

I don't feel bad, I don't feel down, instead what I feel is like I can't concentrate on any single one task unless I take a downer (alcohol in this case) to slow my brain down and let me think of one single task at a time.

The thing that has helped me, as stated before, is alcohol. It allows me to concentrate and just get code down. Now do I think that is good for me and or my body? No. I would rather have my full brain capacity to work just as hard, I want to be able to focus on one task.

That is why I was asking if other people had found the same, and what they were doing about it, or how they were solving the problem.
Thank you for your clarification. I don't understand why I have been perceived as argumentative.

I've been using Emacs for quite some time now, and before immersing myself into it, and even after, I've compared it to other major editors. Eventually, I realized that no other editor can stack against it, if you are really serious about getting the most out of your editor, and reaping the highest return of investment out of the time you spent learning it.

Maybe some people don't like the idea, but just like there are superior languages, as PG as neatly demonstrated, there are superior tools. Things you can accomplish with Emacs, you really can't with other Blub editors.

Oh, and when I talk about Emacs, I'm not talking about its editing model, which I agree, is somewhat cumbersome. Vim's editing model is way superior, and it's my editing model of choice, but Emacs' implementation is better. Vim enthusiasts are aware of the limits of their editor.

Of course, that wasn't my point; my point is that when 'evidence based' becomes a mantra that is malunderstood by many, its use in inappropriate contexts devaluates the word and with that, the concept itself.
That's the first time I hear such a thing and it sounds very strange to me. Are you just referring to France? Or maybe UK, too? There are over 40 countries in Europe, and most of them have a lot more relaxed copyright laws than USA.
I learned a lot of SML in college, and it is really a great language. In my opinion it has the best syntax and REPL of any language I've used.

But Haskell has a much better chance of becoming main stream. The type classes allow things like drop-in, easy-to-use hash maps and a simple, type-safe print statement (SML's requires explicit string conversions). Furthermore, GHC consistently pushes modern features; my current favorites are the extremely performant userspace threads (managed by epoll). From what I can tell, the SML folks are more focused on PL research projects than trying to implement a standard library, which is completely fine.

If everything goes well and we as a community build intuitions for strong, static typing, one of these good languages (IMO probably Haskell) could end up as the next Python.

BTW, if you're looking for resources on learning SML, I'd look at Bob Harper's books (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rwh/)

Greeks used a twin pot system to cool (or keep cool?) their wine. They would have a psykter ("cooler") and a krater. The psykter is filled with water or ice and floated in the krater holding the wine.

It's been long known that wet terracota on a windy day keeps the insides cool.

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:19... page also describes a double walled amphora where the space was filled with water, no mention of external glazing (or its lack). These are apparently known as psykter amphora, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=L-DYdyXXMy8C&lpg=PA22.... Such amphora are known since 6th Century BC.
Seems like a logical step to me, especially for dodgy automated tools. Making your programs paste the illegal info in pastebin makes a lot of sense from a plausible deniability standpoint. "No sir, I didn't plant the bug there, I just found this log on a public website."

Pastebin's owner seems to not mind automated tools using the site ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/833887/pastebin-api , comment on question ), so the only solution I see is a "report public paste" feature. But that would be near useless against the volume of computer generated content created. And worse yet, the address that pasted it is just another victim, so there's little hope going against it.

Though I really hope I'm wrong, pastebin is a great website.
Never thought about this. It's scary what even a basic search such as site:pastebin.com password username can return.
