Again vague appeals to solutions that simply do not work as well as stimulant medications.

1. Thirty two percent of students living with ADHD drop out of high school compared to 15 percent of teens with no mental health diagnosis (UC Davis Health System, 2010)

2.Three times as many adolescents living with ADHD as those living without ADHD have failed a grade, been suspended or been expelled from school. (Barkley, 2000).

You're right though, let them exercise and make them note-take, that will work(while you ignore that this simply is not effective, as studied in the current literature)

http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/115/6/e749.lon... (Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Overview of the Evidence)

Conclusion: "Other evidence documents the long-term nature of ADHD in children and its classification as a chronic condition, meriting the application of general concepts of chronic-condition management, including an individual treatment plan with a focus on ongoing parent and child education, management, and monitoring. The evidence strongly supports the use of stimulant medications for treating the core symptoms of children with ADHD and, to a lesser degree, for improving functioning. Behavior therapy alone has only limited effect on symptoms or functioning of children with ADHD, although combining behavior therapy with medication seems to improve functioning and may decrease the amount of (stimulant) medication needed. Comparison among stimulants (mainly methylphenidate and amphetamines) did not indicate that 1 class outperformed the other."
So basically, still no good information in general about what a "good" diet is.

Don't know. It has been shown to work.

One of the major benefits touted by the proponents of Agile was that it modeled how successful software teams worked. Well here's a successful software team and this is how it works.

For most teams it is probably a truly bad idea. But it shows there is more than one way to do it.

Update: The more I think about it, maybe this isn't so crazy. Wasn't Erlang built to work this way, so engineers could modify a telecom switch without taking it offline? As systems get gigantic it gets very difficult to have a staging environment that mimics the live site.

"Gays and straights are treated the same - both are free to marry people of the opposite sex. Gays may prefer not to do that, but they do have the legal right."

That is a totally sociopathic argument, and you know it, and it makes you an asshole for having the nerve to make it.
How so ? What market do you propose to measure then ?
I actually was never diagnosed with ADHD as a child or an adult. I exhibit a similar coding pattern as you did, and still do, since high school. I get bored very, very quickly and kind of live off of the "aha" moments, from one to the next. It's not that it's not genuinely challenging or interesting to me, but I just can't focus much of the time. This is true for just about everything I do these days. Thoughts and ideas come, I act on them, and they leave again just as quickly as they came. It definitely makes it hard to get much of anything done at work or home, despite having quite an agenda at times.

I've only taken Vyvanse offhandedly (without Rx) and it worked miracles for me. I quickly learned to ration it and use it sparingly as you do, partly because of the negative effects on my appetite and general well-being. I'm still debating going to see a doctor but I think they might write me off as an addict since I'm in my 20s but still quite young and a lot of kids come out of college abusing the stuff to get through exams and maybe never really drop the habit.
Rip-offs are sad, but the fact that you spent 14 months doesn't make it a better game. It means you took too long to make it. Threes is a great game that has done well, but the vast vast majority of mobile apps don't make enough money to justify spending 14 months on. I really hope that wasn't full time work.

Also, time/effort/money spent developing a game does not make it better or worse than other games. Some dead simple things are awesome, and some things that took forever aren't. Again, I have and like Threes quite a bit, but the time it took to make doesn't make it better than anything else. I haven't played the knockoffs, but if they are doing well I suspect they are decent games in their own right.
You're right, as long as we fix the schools and the parents. Of which the majority have little scientific background, will use vague inprecise heuristics such as you are not disciplined enough, as opposed to the much easier solution of providing drugs so that these kids not crash their vehicles.

Irresponsible apologism over and over while not demanding the same from the author. Anti-medication pop-trash.

I would imagine that the FPGA would not be shared. Much like only one app can be full-screen on your computer, only one process could use the FPGA. The OS wouldn't let a second process use it if a first process already was.

As for regular users, personally I'd like it for video codecs. I'd like it for video transcoding. I'd like it for faster MP3 encoding. I'd like it for Photoshop filters. I'd like it for speech recognition. I'm sure I could think of things that other users would like to use it for, like 3D rendering. I don't know of dedicated silicon that does ANY of these things, except specifically for H.264 decoding. That's it. And the thing is, for all the items I've listed, it's totally fine that my computer is only ever doing one of them at a time. These are all "regular user" uses, whereas virtualization is not needed very much for regular users.
Hollywood almost completely stopped doing this some time ago thanks to CGI. It's quite hard to find people who can do good miniature work now.
Up until just over a year ago I was eating well and exercising regularly.
In response to acquaintances continually preaching about how bad carbs were, and because I thought differently (and looked forward to being a bit lazy), I spent last year doing minimal exercise (pretty much none), and eating whatever I liked (excluding fast food chains).

This was a primarily carbohydrate focused diet. I ate pasta several times a week, cereal or its equivalent for breakfast. The only thing I kept my eye on was my fat intake, especially saturated fat.
For that whole year, I went from about 80kg to a whopping 80kg, fluctuating up and down a only few kg throughout the year.
The only time I noticed that I was putting on weight was after a trip overseas where I was eating significant amounts every two to three hours. Even then I only put on 3kg.

Correct portion size is pretty much what I swear by for my unchanging weight.
Just to drive this one point home (IANAD, but personal experience): the cornea of the eye is simultaneously very susceptible to infections and more or less immunosuppressed by design to maintain clear vision (see [1]). Infections can spread extremely fast and will (even if promptly treated) leave behind permanent damage such as photosensitivity (best case really). Ideally you would have daily checkups to see if the antibiotic is actually effective.

If you use contacts, make sure to be extremely diligent in cleaning them.

Keto is a proven diet based on science. Another one is intermittent fasting (IF). These diets only work if you stick to them, otherwise they become fads. Keto is a hard one to stick to because it's easy to mess up and get out of ketosis which makes the whole week a waste.
From personal experience, I believe that it's not always so simple. When I eat a steak for dinner (rare), I notice that even right after the meal I feel incomplete, and I'm hungry within an hour or two. When I eat a muffin for lunch, I feel content for several hours. (And the muffin has about 2/3 the calories of the steak.)
Agriculture is a recent invention, only about 10kya old, and many cultures never adopted it for various reasons. It makes sense that evolution has had a bit of time to work its random magic on plant eaters.
Matching the angles and lighting is extremely time-consuming, unfortunately. It's doable of course, but very difficult and I get the impression that this gentleman's goal is not to spend more time in front of the computer, otherwise he could achieve the same results with ray tracing and various image composition tools.
The current office 365 solution for me works out to be about $2 AUD a month per device.

Considering no 'upfront' cost that isn't really too bad for me, and I have no problems paying for tools I actually use to get work done.

If people want to edit Office documents using non-Office software there are plenty of free alternatives.

The fact that Microsoft is the only company able to do this without formatting errors is value that I think is worth the fee.
I do not think keto is a fad, it may turn up in few years that it was not healthy but it definitely makes you lose weight.
You've only experienced people who want to mis-apply the meds? What criteria for mis-apply are you using here? "Docs were eager to prescribe meds to make them conform", awkward appeal to malicious agency. It is doubtful that doctors were "Eager to make them conform".

"Something to redefine behavior as pathology... maybe to get you hooked and build revenue streams", ah yes. That's it. Never mind the much higher incident of high school drop out, repeated grades, 1/4th as likely as other kids to pass college, more likely to go to jail, and get in a car crash.
The conclusion I came to years ago was that I should care about how much I eat more than what, so long as I'm filling my core nutritional requirements - doing so I lost 120 lbs.
What happens in 1.0? Is it primarily the marketing buzz you're looking forward to, or is there a specific feature?
well, if cholesterol is linked to heart disease, and if that can be effectively reduced via diet, it's probably worth our while to care, especially in your 30s on while you can still affect change
Another huge problem is that if I'm working with a "real" designer its exceedingly unlikely that they are going to have GIMP or be willing to learn it, and without pixel perfect rendering of PSDs (which it doesn't have) if I need to make buttons, etc I have to use Photoshop.
No offense, but it seems to me that researching and subsequently ripping off 20 year-old games is somewhat different than ripping off days-old games already designed for the same interface.
PopCap have a good approach to cloning. It's basically, we love seeing clones because we enjoy seeing good games made, it increases the market size and the bad ones will sink anyway. They're confident in their ability to make really game games that will sell. They're sitting on one of the most cloned games of all time, but still manage to make good games and make money.

People seem to get stuck on the idea that a good game is good because of it's mechanic. Therefore if someone uses your mechanic, you're stuffed. A mechanic is only part of what makes a game really good. It's a similar mistake to having a feature focus in a product company.

It has been fun to see all the riffing off the Threes concept over the past couple of weeks. And I'm sure Asher Vollmer and team will benefit from it all. There is more interest in all the games, they'll have extra ideas from the clones that come out, they find out for free some ideas that don't work. It will help them raise the bar on Threes and make it a better, more successful game.

I dunno, Gandhi is the most obvious and he was WAY worse than Jobs.
Mostly because high-quality posts hidden in low-traffic subthreads "look like" low-quality posts under such a system. People who go out of their way to help some individual without the expectation of a status-gain would be punished, while sycophants would be rewarded. This is the opposite of the incentives you'd want.
having bitcoin on your balance sheet (volatility-wise) is not the wisest move for most companies.
Maybe you're kidding but I'm not sure that's really how it works. I'm sure they will do as many updates as necessary prior to a 1.0 regardless of current numbering.
If you know you need to use floats to flow text around elements, feel free to use them! They're in CSS for a reason :) But if there are alternatives (such as absolute positioning) that work equally well in your particular design, then choosing an alternative may help you gain better performance.
Agree with yout points that FPGAs are great for low volume prototyping/one-offs, interfacing, and when timing is of critical importance.
What does "abuse" mean in your context? "Abusing it to get by", very anti-humanistic mentality here.

"The kids with polio abused vaccines to get by"
"The kids with hunger abused food to get by"

What does "abusing to get by" even mean? You mean, USING it to get by, and thus preventing failure of the negative kind? You mean ... the desire-able outcome?

Indeed, that seems a much more sensible interaction-model to me. Take the absolute number of upvotes as the "endorsement value" of a post. Make all posts start at zero "endorsement", and require them to reach some N before they appear.
This sounds an awful lot like imposter syndrome, but with your own health instead of programming ability.

See a doctor. Be honest. Let them do their job and then trust their diagnosis.
Last line of the blog entry announcing Blaze as the new feature in the 0.8.0 release: "Just one more big item to go before 1.0 now!"
And the consumer doesn't care at all what anyone is.

All they want is a good game, and for many of them that game is 2048...
I fail to see what is wrong with 'splitting up' or 'separating' which have never carried any connotations of accidental or inadvertent parting. You'd think that the end of other people's relationships was the result of carelessness or oversight. Talk about self-absorbed.

Ah, OK. I stand corrected. Although I guess my comment isn't exactly incorrect.
> - You can't share an arbitrary folder with someone, only a top-level one

You can share any folder arbitrarily deep. What we do not allow is sharing subfolders of already-shared folders.

> You can't share app folders

We plan to remove this restriction in the coming months.

> App folders are buried in the Apps folder

We are exploring how to better handle App folders, but the sharing API will not address this.

> This would let me share with both apps and other users.

Great point. Note that apps with full Dropbox or file type access already can share data with each other, just not two apps with only App Folder permission.

Are there specific (App Folder) apps you wish to share content between?
No one is saying we shouldn't be giving drugs to some kids.

It's saying we're over diagnosing, and giving drugs to kids who don't need them.

Giving 1 in 20 boys amphetamines for no reason is not a good thing - it's a dangerous and bad thing.
I have spent the last year developing an Operating System as my Bsc dissertation. In September I will begin a PhD, the focus of which firmly resides in OS design.

I may be under qualified to say this, but I believe pretty strongly that the number of people that truly understand everything that happens when they use a computer is tending towards zero. This is partially the fault of rising hardware complexity, but more fundamentally your Intel/AMD CPU, your SSD etc is not open source. It is unlikely then that you will be able to understand exactly what your computer is doing when you execute an instruction, because Intel will not tell you how it works, only that it does. You could of course reverse engineer the chips, but I do not believe that anybody has.

There are a number of places you can go to learn more about how modern systems work, I will list the fruitful resources I have used below.

- wiki.osdev.org/Main_Page

This wiki has a lot of valuable information, if you have not already found it.

- www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html?iid=tech_vt_tech+64-32_manuals

The Intel manuals describe how the CPU frontend functions, but does not explain how this functionality is implemented on the backend. The problem here is volume. The combined volumes weigh in at over 3300 pages.

- Wikipedia

I hope this has been helpful - good luck!
The "Parallella" hybrid board is awesome, but unfortunately has been saturated by orders, probably due to being $99. It contains a Xilinx dual ARM CPU with FPGA plus a custom Epiphany 16-core processor. http://parallella.org/
You would really like Geography of Nowhere by James Kunstler, if you haven't read it already.

Many small cities (including Jersey City, my home) will not allow commercial businesses to be built without residential above it, at least in downtown commercial districts.
A great piece of advice... "If it has a nutritional label, you probably shouldn't eat it."
I think that it's clear that any technology that helps the browser better compete with native applications in terms of performance is worthwhile.

Regarding new specs, we're of course working on that too, with specifications like flex box and grid layout. Part of Servo's goal is to steer the conversation toward what can be done to make future CSS specs parallelizable on CPUs and GPUs. But of course we want to be fast on existing Web content as well.
Quick Go Project Setup
This is literally the point that makes me get upset: Cloning a game, because specific people doesn't agree with decisions taken by the developers (features, pricing, etc.).

Is it really that hard to let indie projects have a chance?
Honestly, I had to look that one up and I do recall reading about that last week via a post linked on HN actually and telling my coworker that that didn't describe me much at all. In both my health (physical fitness) and other accomplishments , I can say I take them very well, and have an ego a large portion of the time because of them.

I should definitely go see a doctor anyway, if not just to make sure that this isn't all in my head.

I do not believe that feature is in Office for iPad and you should be able to point your browser to OneDrive.com/office.com to get to your documents using Word/Excel/PowerPoint/OneNote Online in the meantime.

This is a really interesting idea though so I'll bring it up with the team, thanks!
May I ask what app you are using? It seems that the app has been set up to use App Folders, when, for your use case, it could be using the more liberal Full Dropbox or File Types permissions.
Particularly for someone like me who doesn't believe in immigration control at all, deportation (or even subjecting someone to the horrible abuses of ICE without actual deportation occurring) constitutes a cruel and unusual punishment for a crime that should be punished by a fine or a few days in jail.

If I knew a drunken bicycle thief-citizen would be imprisoned for years, I wouldn't report them, either.
The secrets of the world's happiest cities
Intolerance of intolerance is a well known and thoroughly debated philosophical issue, and the consensus is that it's ethically justified, good for society, and not hypocritical.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

The tolerance paradox arises from a problem that a tolerant person might be antagonistic toward intolerance, hence intolerant of it. The tolerant individual would then be by definition intolerant of intolerance.

Michael Walzer asks "Should we tolerate the intolerant?" He notes that most minority religious groups who are the beneficiaries of tolerance are themselves intolerant, at least in some respects. In a tolerant regime, such people may learn to tolerate, or at least to behave "as if they possessed this virtue". Philosopher Karl Popper asserted, in The Open Society and Its Enemies Vol. 1, that we are warranted in refusing to tolerate intolerance. Philosopher John Rawls concludes in A Theory of Justice that a just society must tolerate the intolerant, for otherwise, the society would then itself be intolerant, and thus unjust. However, Rawls also insists, like Popper, that society has a reasonable right of self-preservation that supersedes the principle of tolerance: "While an intolerant sect does not itself have title to complain of intolerance, its freedom should be restricted only when the tolerant sincerely and with reason believe that their own security and that of the institutions of liberty are in danger."
Unfortunately, mounting an aggressive defense to a lawsuit isn't considered egregious in the eyes of the law.
It's funny that current TS/PC lenses cost upwards of $2000, but Michael Paul Smith stated that he has to use a cheap Canon Powershot because the cheap lens obscures the details enough to make them believable and the tiny aperture keeps the "real" background enough in focus to keep the scale believable.
I agree with you and your parent. If this system goes into place I'll probably spend far more time on HN than I usually do these days -- at least at first -- specifically trying to approve comments made by other women, in the fear that others with enough karma will dismiss their point of view.

However, that won't stop many of the negative comments you mention, posted by and/or endorsed by high-karma members, also showing up in the thread. It only takes one high-karma approver to allow the negative stuff through and we're back to square one, but possibly excluding some underrepresented groups.

I like the idea in general, that is, I like the drive to improve the quality of HN comments. I'm not sure that flipping 'flag' around into 'approve' is the solution, but sadly I don't have any better ideas. Well, other than post emotion analysis and multiple-tiered karma systems (+1 Insightful, anyone?).
There has been a revival of mixed use communities in America. Just google 'mixed use developments'.

Its different, but at least towns and developers realize that there is demand for commercial and residential mixed.
