(2) is called High Level Synthesis. While a great idea, and quite practical, it does not lift you from the burden of understanding the FPGA. Generally you have to make your C code fit a very rigid format that compiles to a pipeline or similar - the advantage is that you can test it as C code, not that you take off the shelf code and run it on a FPGA. There would be no point to that - a hard processor will always be faster at running arbitrary C code.

In addition, most of these tools compile to HDL, so they only add to compilation time.
this is what I've been doing for a long time. However, it sometimes forces me to create more features than I can chew because in my mind, it's a guy paying $20 a month and wanting A-Z features.
Your response is vague apologism for irresponsible journalism justified on a minor technicality. The articles is so stupidly charitable to it's own worldview(in the sense of lying) and omitting so much from the other side that it is ridiculous.

You are wrong to think that these people deserve "serious consideration", when the article is written itself to produce knee-jerk reactions "The drugging of the american boy....", as if we had IV Heroin plugged to these kids. Article allows for the opposition, most people who have random opinions about ADHD for no apparent reason other than to have an opinion.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23382575 (Is ADHD a Risk Factor for High School Dropout? A Controlled Study.)
tells us that " Conclusion: Participants with ADHD were significantly more likely to repeat a grade"

Do you know the cost of high school drop outs or grade repeats to society? What about to the kid, who suffers massive self-esteem loss and under-values himself? Why is the author not more responsible? The modern era brings us new journalism-contrarian-chic, stylstic articles that irresponsibly lend fuel to very harmful world-views(such asADHD is not serious)

What drugs, exactly, and to which boy? Is the cost of not-treating much greater than the cost of treating? The article is merely an appeal to pop-trash trendy world-views, and does not deserve much of a response at all
Wait, so you really think that if I use Stripe to pay for something, and don't get it, that Stripe will tell me it's not their problem?

Amusingly, this already happens with dead users as well. I remember one thread where several European users were chiming in with agreement, all dead and invisible to anyone who hadn't set the flag. There was nothing nasty about their posts either, they were just the brutally honest type.
The very comment you link to says 2048 was based on 1024. And 1024 was indisputably based on Threes.

I think PG's company is the exception that proves the rule. It's still probably a bad idea.
What is happening, will continue, and I don't think there is anyway to stop it.

The most likely cause for it is that development methodologies have changed, continuous integrations, continual deployments basically mean that people can get the benefit straight away. Why not then should the payment be made straight away as well. The subscription model is basically just the best fit current solution to the problem.

We will likely see newer takes eventually, I suspect someone will create some form of prepay/pay as you go credit solution soon.

In other words, software development is moving towards becoming a service industry opposed to a production based industry. Most economies / markets / industries go through this transition, and its been coming for a long time.
I suspect the reason the case was fought was because of idiotic bureaucracy as well.

My suspicious is that there is an internal procedure to challenge any attempt to get off the list in court.

The only way to avoid that is to change the procedure (which of course is impossible to do from the outside without court intervention, since the bureaucracy has a policy to deny any information about their own procedures).

As someone who has gone through tests and been diagnosed with ADD, I think I understand the frustrations, and it definitely does not "feel" normal.

Not being able to hold onto a thought for more than 3 minutes, or having to deal with potentially being distracted by every little thing that happens around me does not feel like the normal state of affairs. Trivial tasks can take me hours instead of minutes in some situations.

Unfortunately I'm currently in a country that doesn't allow me to get medication for this (and previously I was in a country that believes that ADD/ADHD magically disappears when you turn 18), but I still have good memories of how much it helped me get through middle school and high school (I went from almost never finishing my math homework to being able to finish everything in class in only half the allotted time).
Here is Eric Holder invoking state secrets privilege (DoJ was a defendant in the case, among many others), basically trying to kill the lawsuit outright (they invoked all sorts of laws and administrative orders around classified info, there are multiple overlapping systems):

http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/2014/02/holder...

Note in the same document, on page 8:

[DoJ] will not defend an invocation of the [state secrets]
privilege in order to:

(i) conceal violations of the law, inefficiency, or administrative error;

(ii)
prevent embarrassment to a person, organization, or agency of the United States Government;

[..]

or (iv) prevent or delay the release of information the release of which
would not reasonably be expected to cause significant harm to national security.

Change you can believe in!

Bonus:

Based on my personal
consideration of the matter, I have determined that the requirements for an assertion and defense
of the state secrets privilege have been met in this case in accord with the September 2009 State
Secrets Policy.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Slashdot is a lot better, however, because it is user customizable. Comments are rated on various attributes like if they are funny or insightful, then users can adjust the scoring of posts based on their preferences. It is also social - you can adjust posts of people you mark friends or foes. It is also policed - meta moderation moderated the moderators. As someone who has run internet forums and picture sharing sites before, I know the problem isn't finding moderators, the problem is finding moderators who don't get ban happy and enforce rules just for the fun of enforcing.
My point is that the "health crisis" people are talking about has nothing to do with the rest of us. If you take those with extreme diets out of the equation, there is no health crisis. There's just people who are generally healthy wringing their hands over whether to have 2 slices or 3 slices of bacon, wondering if they are getting that perfect ratio in their diet. At which point I'm not sure it's worth the mental stress to be worrying about such things.

Some things aren't within our control. There are people who will surely get their ratios "perfect" (whatever perfect is) and still die an early death of heart disease because of their genetics.
I can answer this, as an electrical engineer.

FPGA's are horrendously inefficient, space and power-wise, for many tasks. Much of the core is taken up by the programmable routing between different components, and generally most components will be not fully utilized (such as LUTs and RAM).

Yes, the Virtex-7 (a VERY EXPENSIVE fpga) can hold 1000 very simple 32 bit cores.... but a top end NVIDIA GPU has 2688 CUDA cores. While not entirely independent, these CUDA cores have far deeper pipelines and far superior ALU's to the one in the article. If your software fits the programming model, GPUs will handily beat a FPGA.

FPGA's are great for prototyping ASICs, and cases where timing is of critical importance - try implementing a VGA video generator on a CPU. Basically everywhere an FPGA would excel, an ASIC excels more, but FPGAs are great for low volume and or specialty hardware where a GPU is not good at accelerating the task at hand.
To me the images are reminiscent of old Godzilla movies, etc...
Great project. Here's an idea - my neighborhood needs a timed garbage can lock. I can't take the garbage can out at night for the garbage truck in the morning because people dig through trash and leave a mess. It is annoying because I hate walking out in the cold half awake.
If you want a good measure then look at the carbs. More carbs approximates to less satiety.

It's all based on where the food sits in terms of its Glycemic Index. High GI foods trigger an insulin release and insulin effectively tells your cells to lower your blood sure levels. Lower blood sugar reduces the feeling of satiety, aka makes you hungry.

By avoiding insulin releases in the first place (sweet/grainy/starchy shit) you'll come out a far healthier person.
Count me as a legitimate case.

That being said, all the research I've done into it on my own shows that the ability of the system to diagnose ADHD is crap. As in huge numbers of both false positives and false negatives. The over-diagnosis is a huge problem, and it results in not only large numbers of children being prescribed stimulant medication mistakenly, but it causes parents of kids who could benefit from such medication to rightfully have second thoughts when a doctor recommends it.

In particular a lot of those who make ADHD referrals kind of have this mapping of "Problem Kid" => "Likely ADHD" when that doesn't seem to be a particularly good mapping.

There are even significant downsides to kids with ADHD taking stimulant medication, but in that case, it appears that the likely benefit does outweigh the likely harm.

Now that I'm a parent, I also wonder if the increased diagnosis of boys is partly due to the differences in the school system. I see more homework and deskwork at a younger age than when I was a kid, but combined with less of a "boys will be boys" tolerance for destructive behavior than when my dad was a kid. Of course I have no numbers on this, so it may merely be nostalgia thinking that that is the trend.
Fun. Especially the heatmap. Totally spitballing here, but it'd be interesting to see a version of the heatmap where the 0 is darkest and + or - is lighter. You'd lose information, but it'd draw your eye to the games that are exciting. Probably not as good as what you did but maybe interesting.

Not that interesting, but we're mid-development on an implementation of rickshaw into our product, so it's kinda fun to pop the data in: https://www.statwing.com/open/datasets/73d3396fc4e83fe2d293e...
> #3. More open tools and specifications would allow programmers to start optimising and rethinking the FPGA compilation process, potentially leading to radical reductions in run times.

Including using an FPGA to accelerate that process -- probably possible since from what I know there is a lot of parallelism involved in synthesising logic.

A jury of peers in the Valley might agree. In fact a good attorney would argue that paying non-colluded wages to engineers lifts all boats, so the blue collar workers on the jury would presumably have had more pay themselves had the engineer been paid properly.

Then again, maybe all the money would have gone to rent which is what seems to be happening now unless you won the IPO lottery where it is now all cash offers on million dollar homes.

Weight is obviously important (obesity is not healthy) but there's far too much focus on weight in my opinion. There are lots of people who are not overweight who are incredibly unhealthy. Many of them don't think they're unhealthy because they're not "fat."

> I feel better than I have for years.

This, and how you look, is far more important.

Are you chronically tired? Do you get winded with modest exertion? Can you lift a modestly heavy object? Do you have bags under your eyes? Do you see definition in certain muscle groups?

The science of diet is unsettled. Medical science is always changing. There are few one-size-fits-all answers. But you can start to get a pretty good sense of your overall health and well-being by paying attention to how you feel and looking at your body in a mirror on a regular basis.

For those that are skeptical about all this,

Look into Nitric Oxide.

Your veins / arteries produce it as a signaling molecule. When it is produced, your veins (I will use vein to reference both veins and arteries) expand. If you've ever exercised and seen your veins become larger, that is nitric oxide at work.

It also clears out the plaque "pockets" or "cysts" that form in your veins.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2050816/

If those pockets break open (the very thin inner lining of the vein breaks) and the plaque content gets into your bloodstream, it causes a heart attack because that plaque liquid causes your blood to clot, essentially make a big scab ball in your vein that blood can't get through, effectively depleting all the cells that rely on the blood from getting any oxygen or nutrients, killing the effected cells in minutes / hours if blood flow is not restored.

The problem with fat is that is really slows down nitric oxide production.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21903940

Because to produce nitric oxide, your veins need a couple ingredients. Lets call them A, B, and C.

A + B + C = Nitric Oxide

A B and C fit together like a puzzle. Well, fat has a molecule, lets call it D. That can ALSO combine with A and B to produce something else.

So picture this:

AAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCCCCC DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

If those can randomly form to their produce ABC, or ABD, looking at the quantities above, which are you more likely to have, ABC or ABD?

ABD... Which is not nitric oxide... Which is not what we want!

This is why eating too much fat is not good. It really harms your arteries because you can't produce the stuff that's needed to clean them out and help them expand properly.

Unfortunately, "too much" is a relative term. Considering in this age that 1 table spoon of olive oil is all the oil found in 50 olives... The fat quantities we evolved for are waaaaay too low for what is so readily available now. This is why the MAJORITY of people have atherosclerosis. That is the condition of plaque built up in your veins, which leads to heart attacks, strokes, and your dick not working.

P.S. vegetables increase nitric oxide production (because they contain the "C" molecule)

P.P.S. you should buy L-Arginine (the "C" molecule) from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013OVX3U/ref=as_li_ss_tl?... (affiliate link, I am thinking of selling it and this post is my MVP sales pitch).
I'm amazed by how much of this agreement seems to have been driven by him. I know these investigations take a really long time to process, but part of me wonders if his passing on had anything to do with this being discovered.
Beautiful pictures. They're even more impressive once you see the illusion. Even the fake greenery and curb and gutter seams are still hard to pick out even when you know they're there. And the lighting is excellent.

But the look -- aside from car styling -- isn't a matter of charm and innocence. It's a way of life that has been outlawed in America.

The mix of residential and commercial land use is illegal in almost all American communities, especially at the scale pictured. A few big cities still permit residential over commercial but whatever is left in most of America is grandfathered. If it's taken down, you can't rebuild it. In fact, my whole neighborhood is like that; if an earthquake hit, not one 1920s American railroad suburb bungalow on my block would meet zoning to be rebuilt.

Also, almost none of those commercial establishments has parking in front and surrounding it. The minimum requirements in almost all of America is about double as much space for parking as for all building interior space. Floor area ratios and landscape buffers usually require even more space around parking lots because they're so ugly. Today, even the shots with parking wouldn't have nearly enough and almost all the commercial buildings would be illegal. I don't see any of the residential buildings with the 2-3 independent parking spots usually required, either. Most of them -- for the sake of charm -- don't have any off street parking. Also, driveways usually can't abut the property line, so the garage has to dominate the front of the house, creating a snout house effect and eliminating the friendly front porches.

Part of the appeal of these scenes is evoking an America that has been outlawed in pursuit of faster roads and free parking. The grace and community of neighborhoods, the diversity of age and social class, and affordability have been part of the cost. Certainly this is not the first time reversing those mistakes has made a scene prettier. [0]

Can anyone speak to the difference in approach between Blaze and React? Or are they doing essentially the same thing?

At first glance, this seems much better in terms of programmer productivity, given that it uses logicless templates rather than embedding HTML inside JS code. But I'd be curious if it's less performant.

Putting aside my feelings on the morality of it all, this really is a fascinating look into the design process that goes into these games and software in general. These posts also show the human side of the design process; how the team responds when one member leaves or returns, what happens to the product, etc. In my short time working on software (and especially UI) with others, I've had many of these same conversations and issues come up.
I am confused about the "main moderator." When pg says "main moderator" is he referring to a specifc person other than himself, himself in the third person or a functional role (possibly rotating like "pager duty")? Elsewhere in this discussion he says "IIRC that name was chosen by the moderator, but it will be easy enough for him to change if he wants." The first mention of endorsing comments I can find is in pg's initial announcement of the pending comments change.

Neurobiological sounds like psychological to me. Unless you're saying doctors are measuring things like dopamine activity or doing brain MRIs to diagnose ADHD.

There's no good evidence that ADHD is not the result of psychological conditioning. For that matter, even if you measured abnormal neurotransmitter activity or brain scans in suspected ADHD patients before diagnosing them, if you looked at animal psychology studies where pathological behavior has been induced by conditioning, I'd be surprised if there weren't abnormal brain scans and neurotransmitter activity there, too. The neurochemical/neurophysical measurements that might provide "evidence" of a non-psychological etiology are invalid if those physical aspects of the brain are themselves affected/modulated by neurological conditioning/development.

If your solution to any problematic "neurobiological" symptom that responds well to a certain drug is to prescribe that drug, because if it responds to a drug it must be a chemical/genetic problem, then everyone will be on a drug eventually. Probably several.

The problem here is that the conduct that led to the lawsuit must be intentional and exceptional in order for a court to be able to award attorney fees. While our laws made this an incredibly difficult situation to resolve, the conduct in this case consisted of a simple mistake made on a form by an FBI agent. Unfortunately, that was neither intentional nor exceptional, and thus doesn't meet the standard for a court to award attorney fees.

Adrian reviewed our application at a time when we had absolutely zero evidence of traction or growth. Our product was (and still is) unfinished and certainly not at the stage where we could run beta tests.

To combat this, we presented a concept video on our website[1] and accepted emails for signups. By carefully explaining the idea and finding people who might be interested in it, we've managed to collect over 600 emails in the past few weeks. I'd recommend a similar approach, reach out to people and communities who might be interested in your product. If they're unwilling to give you their email, it might indicate they're even less willing to give you their money.

Once we flushed the idea out a little bit more, we updated the video[2] with actual footage.
