The US does not in any way uphold the principal of due process. I don't have time to write about it right now, but read up about civil forfeiture laws:

What he is saying is that it is in human nature to get high.
And we better accept this and tailor our legislation accordingly, instead of trying in vain to deny it.

Legalizing would stop violence, increase taxes, allow for open research of the substances, would de-stigmatize use, which in turn would make users more willing to seek cure or support of others and would allow for better education of future potential users (aka children) on the caveats of drug use and abuse.

Drug use has produced a great deal of 'positive' outcomes for our society. They have drastically changed our culture, art, economy and technology.

Of course, their dark side is well known, but I think it would be a lot easier to deal with the dark effects of drugs if they were legal.

I'm glad there's lots of signs that this is about to happen all around the world pretty soon. Let's see what happens.
I kinda disagree; if your comments, observations etc don't JUMP OUT AT YOU READ THIS THIS IS IMPORTANT!1one, they're not important, apparently. This also goes for other people's code, really. There is often a difference between code and comments, which causes people to read the code instead of the comments. However, one cause is that comments don't draw the attention because they're often in a dimmed, 'this is not important' color scheme - the other is that there's too much comments that don't add value to the code.
I tried to replicate the experiment and couldn't. In fact I got the opposite result, with the mouse taking twice as much time as the keyboard.

I wonder if it is because of the increased pixel density.

So, in effect, they're saying that we use lip-reading to distinguish between very similar phonemes? That's... yes? I'm not seeing what's so remarkable about it, I've been aware of it since forever - it's how I can understand what people next to me are saying at loud concerts and the like. Even further, sometimes I have trouble recognising what someone's telling me if I can't see their lips and no, my hearing is perfectly fine.

Guess it's one of those things where you think everybody senses the world the same way.

Well, a few things. First,

don't presume either way until you have evidence.

It seems that if you were following this guideline, you would not simply state,

As such, performing experiments on a dog to gain more knowledge is moral.

Moreover, I am not sure how you are construing my claim as being positive. You said X is moral, and I said that such a statement depends on a source of knowledge that X is not immoral (that i.e., X is moral, your statement). There is no assertion I am making in there, except by implication, I am saying that facts about morality are like other facts, and need to exist and be demonstrable. You should be able to show them in some fashion. When you say dog experimentation is moral, you need to show the source of your facts.

Again I guess I have to rely on your claim to know what and why morality is, because you don't want to explain that.

Moreover, given that you seem to have some familiarity with philosophy, I don't understand why you would make such a comment about whether or not one ought to presume this or that without discussing the precautionary principle, which applies directly to the question at hand. The logic of the principle would seem to pose a direct challenge to your idea that one ought not presume either way.

I'm sure you've read some books or some arguments which you are relying on here, but I can't take your claim that human morality is X, and that Y is moral, on face value. And I cannot think of anything you could possibly be relying on as your hidden source for these statements which is not also dependent on a set of assumptions.
You could select it and get a good highlighted color.
Shameless plug. I've developed a similar tool to this without the gui frontend, distributed as a ruby gem - http://dbgeni.com It was inspired by Ruby on Rails and was quite a nice project to develop. It supports oracle, SQLite, sybase and MySQL out of the box. It also handles deploying stored procedures.

In a previous job, I used a technique like this to deploy pretty big Oracle application, being worked on by 160 developers, so using migrations to manage your database does work... with some care!
Usually when people say "... with that attitude", they're not saying it in a complimentary way.

I'd be interested in hearing what about my attitude you object to.

That 'other standards compliant compiler' need not be the one with higher precision.

Also, it might have higher precision in most cases but just not in that case where your code needs it most.

Real-world examples are x86 compilers that use the 80-bit floating point registers for intermediates, but flush them to 64-bit results (sounds stupid, but it is not; flushing typically is done to the bytes that hold the result variable). There, the register allocation algorithm used by the compiler can be the determiner of which operation sequences get done in 80 and which in 64 bits.

gcc: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FloatingPointMath (the 'Note on x86 and m68080 floating-point math' section), http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.4.4/gcc/Disappointments.... ("On 68000 and x86 systems [...] you can find that a floating point value which is not a NaN is not equal to itself")

What is touch? — YouTube
In a way I am indifferent to legalizing drugs, because I won't buy them anyway. However, I wonder what it would be like in reality? Would it mean you could walk down the supermarket aisle and buy a substance for 9,99$ that ruins your life within seconds? The danger seems to me to signal "drugs are safe" by legalizing them - usually the government is supposed to ban dangerous foods, I think?

Sure, you can already buy cigarettes and alcohol, but I don't think they make you addicted after just one shot.

Just asking - perhaps there are plans for distributing them in a different way?

Also, even if they were legalized, would it mean those drug cartels would go away? They are now an organization embedded in society, why should they loosen their grip? Like if an independent drugstore opens to sell legal heroin, what would stop them from setting it on fire and shooting the owners?

Theoretically, it seems to me that if the plants were efficient enough, one should be able to obtain the hydrocarbons from them there are needed during the process of agriculture.

I guess the really important point is your second paragraph: As long as there are advances in both the plants and the technology, the plants may simply be unable to catch up.
Any feedback would be appreciated, cheers :)

That said, it's all about business development. Gotta put your sales hat on! Tell them you can do customizations but to match their price, you'll have to do recurring $y amount for at least z number of months with the first 1 month free for trying it.

Of course I'm making a lot of assumptions about your want of adding features and giving the first month free...gotta start somewhere!

Quil: Processing and Clojure
Actually, there are no such pictures.

There are only 2-dimensional arrays of pixels, which you might incorrectly interpret as "hot girls" due to retrograde social constructs, focused by the lens of prejudice and privilege.

You can combat this form of bigotry with some training, by learning how to see only the Fourier transform of each image.

There are some interesting resources in the above comment. However, by criticising all the introductory material and replacing it with nothing, it misses the point of having a guide to learning Scala. The "plan" it suggests is essentially this:

1. Ignore the freely available, expert-written introductory material on the internet;

2. Don't use tools that will highlight simple mistakes for you quickly;

3. Buy this Scala book and read it;

4. Buy this other (very similar) Scala book and read it;

5. Buy this more advanced Scala book and read it.

I work for Facebook, on the Infrastructure Engineering team, where our slant is more toward software that helps us run the infrastructure and underpins the products. Whilst I've not worked for Google, quite unsurprisingly I've interviewed my fair share of folk who were at Google, and we've hired many of them.

Quick sidebar: hiring is super important for us at Facebook. We want to keep working with the smartest people on the planet, who also fit in culturally, and so interviewing is one of the things we take really seriously.

The one thing that we are also very serious about at Facebook is that once you get the job, we want you to be doing that which you are most passionate about, because we know that when you are doing something that you are passionate about, you will produce your best work, and be happy doing it. We don't just slot people into where we think they fit, or where we have a gap, simply because the skills on their resumé fit. A lot of time and effort goes into introducing new hires to as broad a swathe of engineering teams and activities as possible to allow them to make an informed decision about which team they want to join.

We also don't tie engineers to any one team for the duration of their tenure at Facebook, and actively encourage them to not get in a rut, regularly move teams and challenge themselves with something they're unfamiliar with. Personal success and career satisfaction is very much up to the individual in many respects. And this applies equally to individual contributors and managers.

What I love most about working at Facebook though is still being able to have a tangible impact. I have seen it grow from < 100M users to > 1B users, and seen the infrastructure and engineering teams grow with it, and all without negatively impacting the scope to actually do stuff. And I don't just mean small iterations on a big bit of software. We constantly evaluate our tools and systems, and are not scared to discard what no longer works, and regularly build new and highly impactful stuff from the ground up. Oh, and there is seldom any precedent to go by either!

It is a fantastic place to work, with lots of great people, who are all insanely smart and very motivated.

We really didn't make the choice to prepare for millions of users. We like having complete control over our code, and nodejs+express gives us that. I'm sure we make some mistakes Rails would correct for us and we take a bit more time on development, but we also learn a lot.

That's a tradeoff, and overall we're happy with it.
Pressuring a system (depending on the pressure) would be more stress
and risk than a vacuum. Depending on materials used (concrete for
instance - that prefers to be loaded in compression), the vacuum can
actually IMPROVE stability and safety. As far as a pressurized "loop"
as you describe, it would greatly INCREASE DRAG compared to a vehicle
in the open air. What you describe is a 'Pneumatic Tube Transport'
(PTT) system (as used in bank drive-up windows). PTT does not scale
up well due to the enormous drag of air on the ENTIRE inside surface
of the tube. Large PTT systems take a lot of power regardless of use.
The energy per vehicle would be greater (but could be reduced a
little by using hydrogen or helium that has less drag than air (mostly
nitrogen)); however small molecules leak much more than large ones,
and the expensive working fluid would have to be replaced.

Google "Evacuated Tube Transport" (ETT) or "Evacuated Tube Transport
Technologies" (ET3) (trade marks of ET3 Global Alliance, and et3.com
Inc.) on google and youtube -- watch the videos to learn of more
advantages. Read the first US patent (5,595,543) to learn exactly how
all of what Musk claims (and much more) can be accomplished. NOTE:
ET3 (tm) is the product of over 200 experts, companies, and
institutions in 18 countries. We hope musk joins our efforts to
implement ET3.
ET3 is optimized to accommodate BOTH cargo and passengers in car sized
vehicles. Initial (local) routes will be at 300-400mph, and ET3 will
accomplish over 50 times more transportation (ton-miles and
passenger-miles) per KWh than the most efficient electric car or
train.
ET3 cost is less than a tenth as much as HSR (high speed rail), mostly due to much less vehicle mass It takes 1/30th as much concrete and steel to support 1200lb car sized capsules (400lb vehicles that haul the same 800lb payload as a typical automobile) than to support 100 ton locomotives on elevated structure.
ET3 has over 10 times more capacity than HSR at 350mph design speed, and 0ver 100 times more at 4000mph.

CoffeeScript is to JavaScript what an ORM is to SQL - a scripted way to generate code.
It is. For one thing, classes (or objects you 'new') are much cleaner in CS than any trivial implementation in vanilla JS. Splats, loops, string interpolation and comprehensions are like added bonus (they are technically syntactic sugar, but make thing so much easier, cleaner and more readable that it's worth using CS for these features alone). True, CS makes debugging a bit harder (though SourceMaps might make that a thing of the past), but as CS code is much cleaner and easier to read, stupid typos are less likely to happen and most of the time, bugs are logical not because you accidentally didn't put a semicolon there, or used ; instead of ,

The principal of "choked flow" limits flow velocity in a constant section tube to Mach one unless the pressure drop is much higher than 1 atm. The drag force at choked flow would be about 20 tons. Tests show drag in a tunnel with high blockage ratios can be more than an order of magnitude greater than the same shape moving in open air.
