I run Linux and Steam, but not the latest and greatest games. A lot of games run out of the box. A lot of the rest run if you tick the box for "yes, run this game anyway even though it's not officially compatible with Linux." The one major bug I've run into is that if I save my password, it doesn't start up - so I have to log into Steam every time.

The best API's fit how users actually use them. I'm not sure there is a one-design-fits-all. One has to study to see what's done the most often and optimize around those, yet still allow flexibility for the times that deviate from common usage patterns. Make the common stuff short and easy, but the uncommon stuff possible and clear-cut. It may take a couple of iterations in actual use to tune it.

I also like "self-eating dogfood" in that the shortcuts are defined using existing "long-cuts" and the API user can study, learn from, and change and/or write their own shortcuts using the long-cuts.

C#'s optional-named-parameters (ONP) are ideal for such. I don't why Java and JavaScript don't implement ONP's. The alternatives, such as object literals and method overloading, are just too clunky. Once you tasted ONP's you don't wanna go back.

Morphine/Heroin is supposed to physically cause respiratory depression so you stop breathing and I guess the CO2 builds up past the 30% blood saturation point by which stage it takes about 2 mins for the body to shut down. As the CO2 levels reach that 30% blood saturation point, the body becomes increasingly stimulated which is why you see people thrashing around when drowning or asphyxiating. Having done sea rescue to stop someone drowning in rough sea's, you can say goodbye to all the training water rescue people get taught and just hope the panicking person isnt as strong as you and hope your lungs are better than theirs, because they will force you under and you will ingest lots of water so you have CO2 build up which spurs you on to shore ironically.

Obviously (going off things like trainspotting and peoples accounts), opiates are supposed to give you a warm fuzzy feeling as you slip into a deep sleep or unconsciousness I guess but not to sure, never done it not even in an operating theatre.

MAOI's the old style anti depressants are quite sudden in that they are like an on off switch for the brain, you dont remember or feel nothing and I think they were popular with people who wanted to end it, but SSRI's have replaced them as the new anti depressant treatment but their problem is you dont sleep properly on them so they introduce their own problems, but I'm not aware of any end of life properties in SSRI's other than they ruin your sleep and send you off the rails slowly.

But all the while, these chemicals still dont address the fundamental problem with depression which is remembering stuff that causes depression. Maybe depression should be treated more like PTSD, because depression seems to be an ego thing, where as talking to other people, PTSD seems to be more like what people associate as depression.

For bloke's I think the bio mechanical properties of testosterone would help many with PTSD, cant comment for women though, but the risk the police and medical lot dont want is some hulk losing it so the idea isnt entertained AFAIK.

Self preservation of institutions comes before everything else!

Edit: I should add, once CO2 blood saturation exceeds 30% it has a noble gas effect on the body, so anyone who remembers the periodic table should remember what noble gasses are and its why compressed gas companies go to great lengths to not enable pure noble gases getting into the hands of the public.

Biology and chemistry is just the mammalian equivalent of computer hacking.

Offering my own advice because some of the other replies would have really harmed me.

Listening is a skill, but you cannot feign interest when you have none. It will teach you to be recessive conversationally, and people will walk all over you. I suggest practicing active listening when a subject is interesting to you - but do not force it. People will start to think that they can use you as a sounding board for anything, which makes you feel like you don't respect yourself - because you've cornered yourself by forcing yourself to listen to things that are uninteresting.

Sometimes you can find people who notice that you're practicing active listening, and they'll practice it back - in the real world, this sort of person is rare. When you find someone like that, you should notice them, and pursue their friendship.

Do not read "how to win friends and influence people" - that book is mentally damaging imho, and only helps to reinforce the idea that you must feign interest in order to win friends.

Here are some social rules that I live by:

- no feigning interest, it's disrespectful

- express genuine interest or excitement, always

- hang out with people i don't want to be around

- no holding back the desire to be around someone more often (LET THEM KNOW)

- tell my friends that i love them

- unless i feel a resounding HELL YES about a commitment, i do not make it

First of all, get a weekly hobby. Show up every time it happens for a month. the friends will come. Choose a hobby that's active - group hikes, bike rides, rock climbing, etc. Active hobbies bond people in ways that inactive hobbies do not, and will give you a lot of funny stories to tell. Take that risk and get yourself out there!

If that doesn't work, try a meditation group or church - contrary to popular opinion, you'll find that most spiritual practices really promote active listening, and help people become known & expressive.

I came to realise this too.

Using Homebrew and multiple users is excruciating and an eye opener on how system-level software should really be installed.

Homebrew insists on avoiding root privileges whilst also installing packages system-wide. That works fine and is invisible with one user but falls down hard otherwise.

Their documentation is incorrect too, saying that this is all fine because “we install in /usr/local/bin”. It’s not easy to change this.

The solution was to embrace MacPorts which correctly requires root privileges to install system-wide packages.

I haven’t looked back since. I haven’t missed brew or any software that’s available on brew alone.

> but will probably discourage them from fencing goods out in the open (at least in Seattle)

Do you know beyond intuition what the stats are on that? If we take an average person and put them in prison for fencing goods, statistically what is the most likely outcome when they come out?

- What are the odds they stop doing this in the open?

- What are the odds they stop doing this entirely?

- What are the odds they move on to something worse? How much worse will it be and are there ways to mitigate that outcome?

- On average, what is the ratio of percent reduction in visible crime to the amount of money we would spend per-person? Are those numbers better/worse than other alternatives that we've looked at?

- Is this a constant across multiple types of crime? Do the numbers become different when we look at petty crime or violent crime?

Have you looked into that stuff, or are you just assuming on intuition that the numbers are good? We're all kind of talking past each other here; I suspect most people on HN know in theory why prisons should work, and I suspect most people know in theory why social programs should work. So explaining the theory is not particularly valuable at this point.

These numbers are really complicated, they're difficult to measure because of confounding variables and implementation details. There are ways of running prisons that make recidivism rates higher or lower, so it's not even an across-the-board single statistic. But that should be the baseline of where any conversation about this stuff starts.
That's true for HTML, but not HTTP. HTML is organic - here's your document, good luck making it work. HTTP is clearly versioned with significantly different changing features at each revision.
Yes, we use locking checkout in certain situations but not for traditional source code, more for CAD files or documents. It's a fairly rare situation, though, mostly helpful for non-coders that don't understand the concept of a merge.

Wow. That's just amazing work.
Whether the story is true or not, I think there's an even bigger point. I believe augmentation is coming. There will be a time in the not too distant future when disabling communication for almost anything else will be near unthinkable. I can imagine kids growing up with instant access to info and communication via neural link to feel threatened/stressed/horrified to be disconnected, similar to tearing a child away from its parent.

I'm not making a judgement whether that's good or bad. I'm sure plenty will chime in with their opinion. I'm only bringing up the world of always on computing is probably coming and schools will need to find some other way to test students that don't require handicapping them by removing what they perceive as part of their brain.

> It's a boring exercise for anyone with a bit of industry experience as we have infinite and cheap digital transistors.

Having "infinite and cheap" transistors is what makes hardware design not boring. It means designs in the digital domain are now just as complex as the largest software systems we work with, while still being mission-critical for obvious reasons (if the floating point division unit you etched into your latest batch of chips is buggy and getting totally wrong results, you can't exactly ship a software bugfix to billions of chips in the field). This is exactly where we would expect shifting to higher-level languages to be quite worthwhile. Simple RISC cores are neither here nor there; practical multicore, superscalar, vector, DSP, AI etc. etc. is going to be a lot more complex than that.

Complicated analog stuff can hopefully be abstracted out as self-contained modules shipped as 'IP blocks', including the ADC and DAC components.

Where does this leave companies that would like to take advantage of fully integrated software and hardware (yes, intentionally referring to your old project at Sun), but don't need a full rack's worth of computing power (and maybe never will), and don't have the in-house skills to roll their own? Or do you think that what you're selling really only has significant benefits at a large scale?
Vivaldi is proprietary though.
Your assumption is that these cheating students will continue to have an enabler with them through their entire career.

Furthermore, your assumption is that a cheater will be the best doctor. It's not about the method - it's about the integrity. My assumption is that any person taking shortcuts like this to get their degree will also take shortcuts with my personal health, which is not a comforting thought.

The scenario in the article is very different than a potential doctor being upfront about having implants installed to aid them in their duties.
That’s not exactly the industries fault though. For example, in the US, you have to get a mammogram BY LAW. It doesn’t even matter that there are better and more reliable methods to detect breast cancer, the law said it MUST be a mammogram. https://www.factcheck.org/2013/10/aca-doesnt-restrict-mammog....

Anyway, then you have companies like Theranos who come along and prove why it’s a good idea to be risk adverse. Snake oil has been sold for a long time, and it really isn’t until “recently” that it has been illegal to sell it (since a bit after 1906, in the US).
> I’m surprised expulsion wasn’t on the table.

Couple of points that I omitted.

First, I was teaching at a local community college. The students were from a nearby university. They were trying to avoid the equivalent classes at their own school and I assume they felt that I might be an "easy mark." I'm not sure what my options were with respect to reporting them to their own university.

Second, I was an adjunct at the community college. I informed the Dean of what was going on, but I got zero support. I could tell that the Dean felt that all I was doing was bringing him a problem that had the potential to mushroom into a political nightmare (no upside, only downside for him). The unspoken message that I got was, "Just deal with this on your own and don't turn it into a federal case." I don't know if the lack of support was due to me being an adjunct or whether it was due to "We need to keep our enrollment numbers up. Don't get a reputation for being a ball-buster."
Once again: the West doesn't have anything that it can give Russia to withdraw, Russia needs a victory in Ukraine of some sort before it will withdraw. This has been the historical problem with any kind of incursion from Russia into some other country, if it did not work out to Russia's advantage the leadership there tended to change. The victory that the West can give Russia would be to starve Ukraine from aid - financial, arms - and the opposite of that is happening, though in time it may come to that. The US does not control who goes into NATO other than that they can say 'no' (like everybody else).

This is no longer just a war of arms, it is a war of clocks: Putin's time is running out and Ukraine's time is running out, the question who has the longer time on their clock and that will likely determine the outcome. The West has just drastically shortened the time on Putin's clock while at the same time extending the Ukrainian clock substantially. To reverse that trend so that Russia can have its win seems unlikely and any other token wins (such as Ukraine 'never' joining NATO, which by itself is a pretty dumb thing to ask for as a settlement because that wasn't happening anyway, and besides that's none of Russia's business) are going to be insufficient to explain to the rest of the Russians why they will likely go hungry for the next couple of years and why they won't be able to go abroad.

Make no mistake: Russia has made itself into a Pariah state and it will take more than some token concession to get back to 'normal'.

What are you talking about? Make does not deal with "sophisticated" dependencies. Make is insultingly simple, not sophisticated at all. It's just a damn directed tree. The simplest data structure in computer science after the array.
