I think that depends on what you mean by "a position where they have a medical reason to take this stuff". I can get by without stimulants, but I'm very tired during the day, and don't get much done. With stimulants, I just feel like I have a normal person output. It also has the side effect of making me have a better mood overall.

I think part of it is due to the pressure to perform, of course. But part of it is also due to feeling terrible when I can't do anything and am tired all the time.

It's not a great situation and I'm slowly trying to change this, but on the other hand it's better than being alcoholic or even a smoker.

Sadly these fears in the UK are well-founded:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_Hey_organs_scandal

* https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/missing...

There were quite a few other similar scandals, particularly in England. The medical profession in this country, for a very long time, has had a remarkable contempt for the lives of people, probably steeped in the classism and elitism traditionally entrenched in university education in Britain. This might be different today (Alder Hey, in particular, triggered new legislation about organ handling in 2004), but it's hard to shake off such a history.

I used to carry a organ-donor card and I'm probably still on some register somewhere, but over the last decade I've kinda soured on the idea. As a clear outsider and a bit of a loner, living in the downtrodden North of England, there would likely be nobody who would oppose an over-eager doctor from pulling the plug on me without even trying to help first, just so that a few waiting lists can be shortened and he can look good with his boss.

> One could also argue it's being presented to show the opt out has teeth. (Non-technical people ascribe meaning to fantasy progress meters. A number of UI studies have shown that.)

In this case, why isn't the same applied to the opt-in?

> If a legacy system were patched for GDPR, it's reasonable for the opt-out to involve more code, not less, as an extra routine undoes the defaults.

The GDPR mandates that no non-essential data processing should happen unless the user opts-in. Even if there was more code involved in making a legacy system GDPR-compliant, said code would need to be ran first (essentially applying the delay to the initial page load). Otherwise, since this consent form is overlaid on top of the existing webpage (as opposed to being on its own page with none of the trackers being loaded) this essentially means that data is being processed until the slow opt-out process completed, thus being in breach of the GDPR. In short, GDPR-compliant systems should work on the basis of "opt-in", not "opt-out". Having the delay on the opt-out proves that the system assumes the user has opted in (and thus immediately processes data that the user may not be willing to share) until told otherwise.

Also, regardless of the delay, the simple fact that the flow has a big prominent "agree and proceed" button which takes one click and then a less prominent "manage settings" which takes multiple clicks is enough for this to be in breach, at least according to the ICO's guidelines.
Indeed, “Deep Learning Based Physics” seems a little more correct.
about 10 years ago, there was a major push by some vendors (probably mainly IBM) to use OSGI.

some execs at my company caught the bug and had to have OSGI because it promised a "service oriented architecture"

except that was for services inside a giant monolith VM.

a more modern approach is to make anything that comprises a "service" and requires encapsulation be separated into its own process/server/pod

OSGI and the like really only benefit systems that are run in mainframe like environments (see the IBM connection?). Otherwise they're needless complexity.

I’m not sure I’d expect that enemy combatants could expect the same legal protections as someone who committed a crime in the US?

I mean look at the Nuremberg trials. If there was ever an illusion of justice it was that trial.

German citizens were convicted of “wars of aggression” against Poland while the USSR, who collaborated with the Nazis and committed war crimes against the Polish people, weren’t even on trial but rather judges.
I agree, I did purchase Delphi Berlin and a lot of associated closed source components, I created some nice programs for myself to use at home and at work, but decided it was not affordable to renew it.

You can get the community edition now of course, but you can not write a utility you use at work.

Also the professional license is more restrictive than the software is (you can connect to MySQL but you are not licensed to do that), finally the tech support at the company are complete shits about allowing you to re-install software that you paid a thousand pounds for, if you don't stay subscribed.

I believe the problem appears when module A returns a value of type B@0.1, and that gets passed on to module C which actually expected a value of type B@0.2. This is a fundamental problem with having multiple versions of the same library used in the same program. The problem is much worse with any kind of dynamic boxing support, since it visibility of the type can't be guaranteed statically.

Of course, for many programs, those values are not returned outside the original scope and all works well.
hard to do Paxos over large geographical distances efficiently, but... it's IRC, so..

I'm surprised this doesn't get mentioned more on this thread.

First, find synergetic fields. Parent post is a good example. I definitely think there's something to be said for you UX roles. You could make the switch.

A new suggestion is you have to leverage your current skills as a platform for your new skill / career. Once you know what that is, use your coding prowess to open doors.

For example, if your thing is history, you could go work as a dev at a gaming company that does historical simulations, such as paradox. Or you could do system IT for a museum or the like, to then jump in a job opening of your choice in your field.

There are game studios looking for music talent with tech background, so breaking into music should not be difficult. If your thing is public performance, this route may be interesting - since gaming live music is a very underserved market. Live performance is still going to be a gig for some time and you wont be able to to turn it into a FT job, but you will be both composing music as a FT job and playing it for audiences as a hobby. Thats as fulfilling as it gets

You have a big advantage of having a skill that most modern companies need. Best, the larger the company, the more needs they have in the arts (logos, marketing collateral, art, photography etc) Leverage your tech background to get a foot in the door.
There's this thing called convalescent immunity. Maybe don't speak of what you know nothing about?
Although I majored in CS, talking a political science course in college made me realize that having some fundamental knowledge of data science, statistics and, in general, effective 'data crunching' habilities (call it numpy, matlab, whatever) is probably pretty useful for empirical sociological/anthropological research. So there's definitely some overlap between your CS skill set and knowledge that might help you in the humanities, I would even say that it gives you some kind of leverage to differentiate from the majority, if you play your cards well.
Have a look at this paper, for example, it really made me think of how interesting it is to ask what implications technological change has in societies: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-s...

Of course the vaccination isn't a perfect shield -- not against covid infections nor transmission... who said it was? But wouldn't that be a pretty stupid bar to set?

You said the vaccine does not prevent people from getting infected. That is not true. The popular vaccines are about 95% effective. Also, people who are not infected do not transmit the virus -- that is a rather effective limit on transmission.

Apart from infections, the vaccine also reduces the severity of covid. The severity of covid-19 is the whole damn problem, BTW. If it wasn't making lots of people seriously sick we wouldn't be worrying about infections in the first place.
How many have returned to terrorism? Is there a reliable source documenting this?
No, they think the poor are less likely to be able to get ID. You probably also think that, because it is obviously true. You don't need to transform it into a reverse-wokeness argument.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation#Definition

Basically, inflation can be split into two types:

> An increase in the money supply may be called monetary inflation, to distinguish it from rising prices, which for clarity may be called "price inflation".
Speaking directly to the literary side of things, there is very little money to be had, and it's easy for little things to eat away what little money that you can make.¹ Looking over my records, my lifetime income from writing literary works is less than $600 and that's with an MFA and a pretty good publication record.

Journalism was a better bet for being able to make a living at before the internet ate the news. Putting aside tech writing contracts, the most I ever got for writing was $1000 for a review article for U&lc back in the 90s. U&lc no longer exists and freelance paychecks haven't really grown since those days either.²

Keith Gessen, in 2006, wrote an article on money for the magazine he co-founded, n+1, which is available here: https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-4/essays/money/ The only thing that's changed in the intervening 15 years is that the income is lower, the opportunities fewer and the expenses are higher.

Bottom line: it can be a side gig, but not much more than that unless you're extraordinarily lucky.

1. Thanks to the pernicious impact of submittable, it is all too common for publications to charge a ~$3 submission fee for online submissions. It seems like a reasonable thing, but given that a 2% acceptance rate is a good number, that means that you'd have to make $150 on average for every accepted piece just to break even. Most markets pay less. I have adopted a solid rule against paying submission fees. I will very rarely pay an application fee for a conference or entry fee for a contest, but even that I tend to avoid.

2. Perhaps the most depressing thing about reading John Fante’s Ask the Dust were the dollar amounts that were mentioned in the novel. Magazines paid more in nominal dollar amounts for stories in the 1930s than they do now.
Ask HN: Why Did Google Videos Fail?

I worked in Computer Science (CS) research for 20 years. Some researchers take privacy concerns seriously, many do not and see it as out of scope or a nuisance. CS is still mostly male and hence most research is done by male grad students. Young males are often fascinated by spy stuff (I know I was) and will orient their research around it. The conferences where they publish papers also reward them for it by publishing their papers, which indicates an acceptance of this kind of research by the community. Similarly I saw lots of grad students who arranged their research around quadcopters. They liked quadcopters and wanted to play with them so they looked for research that could be done with quadcopters. If they could do CS research that involved looking at porn and get it published they'd probably all flock to that. So part of the explanation is human nature, but the fact it is accepted and published shows there is little real critical review of potential misuse of this kind of research. It is also really difficult to invent anything that can not be misused, especially in research involving sensors. A WiFi sensor can monitor your heart rate for health purposes but can also monitor your heart rate to sell you more stuff.

However I've been thinking the same thing for many years, that much of the CS research seems aimed at spying on people. Companies that will be hiring those grad students may also be partly to blame by hiring students who do such research, probably because it fits with their own corporate data collection and analysis practices on their customers. Grad students want jobs after they graduate, and developing spy stuff gets them jobs. The military -wants- spy stuff so they encourage this kind of research.

So the solution seems to be to somehow get more awareness of potential misuse factored into paper reviews, encourage more research on mitigating misuse of new technologies, and getting more women into CS. Unfortunately women seem to be
leaving or not choosing CS more and more lately. Some women may like spy stuff too even though it has historically been more of a male thing, probably due to the military. I'm not sure there is anywhere yet that you could publish research into mitigating misuse of new technology (except privacy research journals). Sometimes there are solutions for classes of sensors, like cameras or microphones. For example, f you have an interesting application based on cameras but recording video would be very privacy sensitive you might be able to only output the processed result and throw away the video data, and a commercial version could be a chip that does exactly that, making misuse of the video impossible.
The results are impressive.
> Unlawful combatants have no rights of any kind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlawful_combatant begs to differ:

"An individual who is not a lawful combatant, who is not a national of a neutral state, and who is not a national of a co-belligerent state, retains rights and privileges under the Fourth Geneva Convention so that he must be "treated with humanity and, in case of trial, shall not be deprived of the rights of fair and regular trial".
I've seen punitive patterns like this elsewhere.

some newspaper sites start autoplaying a little video window, and it you click the "close" X, the player will keep playing for several more seconds with a phony subtitle saying "shutting down" or "closing"

Two beliefs became entrenched:

1. that lead is natural to the human body, and

2. that a poisoning threshold for lead existed

Robert Kehoe, working for GM, was the chief advocate for leaded gasoline, and really the only person/lab doing research on lead until Clair Patterson stumbled into it while measuring the age of the earth. [0,1]

A modern equivalent might be if Facebook was the only organization researching social media's impact on society, while being able to set the paradigm/assumptions about said safety for half a century.

So even when Patterson's research was published in 1965, it took time to change the paradigm, and more time to phase out lead's use.

Should anyone want to read a narrative about the intertwined lives of Midgley, Patterson, Kehoe and lead, then this Mental Floss article is a good read. [2]

Crux of the article:

The FBI document released Saturday contains significant redactions, but nevertheless shows FBI officials were skeptical of claims by various witnesses that Saudis in the U.S. who met with the two hijackers did so accidentally through chance encounters.

It was “difficult to reconcile” the connection between the hijackers and those who gave them support, the FBI document states, noting that one individual claimed he met the hijackers at a 7-Eleven convenience store in northern Virginia “during a ‘chance meeting’, in a uniquely similar fashion to the way Bayoumi described his ‘chance meeting’ with Hazmi and Midhar in Los Angeles.”

pre-rendered tiles is expensive, vector data less so.

The entire OSM working data set for NA is ~12GB. NY State is ~500MB. Most countries and states are under 100MB. Daily deltas are usually well under 1MB.

Tile servers are great for web apps, as you can pre-compute all the rendering and then cache the tiles. But there is no need to store terabytes of image data in an offline mobile app.
