You have quoted what he did say and made up a position that he did not.
Doing lifespan studies on long-lived species simply takes that much longer times - to test a hypothesis on humans, it'd take some 70+ years.

It can be done and we will do it, but that will be only a benefit for the future generations - all that you and me can do is to assume (or not assume) that the measured effects will generalize to us as well.
Shame it uses the bloated jquery UI
You are probably right. I think some M3s have a DSP which could be leveraged for the voice portions. I'd imagine they also have a TI CC3000-like module with the whole TCP/IP stack to handle the comms. Maybe not necessarily the 3000, as they offer same functionality in larger sized modules for a lower cost. Further, I'd say TI also because of their SimpleLink system, which allows you to connect to Wi-Fi without entering SSIDs/passwords on a device. You'd just need to download the Amazon app to facilitate the initial connection if I understand it correctly.
1. Emailing is not a viable option. I simply don't have email setup on all but one device that I use to browse HN.

2. You can nitpick on technicalities, but it doesn't matter to lacero if he was hell-banned or ip-blacklisted. All that matters is that his comments go in trash can and that's what I was trying to rectify.

PS. A proper way to support these cases is to add "flag for mod review" option to dead comments and/or user accounts. Unlike the email option, it would be actually usable for everyone. Until then I will keep posting "hell-banned" when I see an account with auto-killed, but otherwise reasonable comments. Have a nice weekend.
Totally, I often feel the same way and like I'm on my own, these posts are the way I vent.
I found the name confusing the first time I encountered it. At first, I assumed it only had something to do with applying fancy lighting effects. Only after studying things further did it become obvious that a shader is responsible for doing 3d->2d projection and pixel filling - and you need them even if you only want to draw solid color shapes!
So basically, systemd is catching the common keyword 'debug' from a command that being given to something else entirely, and in turn enabling its own logging, which floods the system. The command wasn't actually meant for systemd, but for the kernel. Is that correct?
The specific games you mention have many mechanics in them that can be categorized as "progress bars". Class XP in Hearthstone is an example literally depicted as a progress bar; the gold, quests, and cards-you've-unlocked number all follow this pattern, too.

Mechanics like these are very sticky, but it's possible to exploit them to get yourself to quit playing a game. The key is to convince yourself to go one day without playing, and every time you think of it, say that you don't 'have' to play that game today. It's a break! You don't have to do your dailies for one day, and it's rather refreshing.

I know the feeling of switching off after 30 minutes of work. For me, it's Reddit / HN. But it always feels way cooler, on those rare occasions when I can push through and keep working.

Also, it seems like you're under a lot of stress and pressure to perform right now. The key is to recognize that. If you're worried about things, but keep telling yourself that everything's fine, it's worse than if you know that what you're trying to do might be out of your reach.

Sorry, I know none of this has much chance of being helpful at all. Hopefully someone in this thread will say the right thing to get you motivated.
I got a gym/swimming subscription for 3 months just before I quit my job because I was really motivated in doing this but ended up going 3 times in 6 weeks.
How is that more beautiful?
right up until a ubuntu kernel update breaks the binary gpu driver, and you spend the next two days trying to figure out which binary or open source driver allows you to run everything the way you were at the beginning of the week. Repeat this every 6 months.
Traditionally, lighting was calculated per vertex, not per pixel, and the results of those calculations were simply interpolated across the surface of the triangle. A "shader" is not the most general term they could have used for a GPU program, but you very well can "shade" a vertex.

Edit: Is this seriously being downvoted? "How do you "shade" a vertex? That implies color, when in fact vertex "shading" is really about deforming the position of vertices. It has nothing to do with color!" is factually inaccurate because you can, and many games do, calculate color and lighting information per-vertex.
Here's a question, would actually deleting the account lead to the possibility of someone later impersonating the original account holder? Especially since the "buddy" lists appear to be independent?
or dependency management you can use external tools like godep[1].

Pretty much. Though Linus says he's okay with other people parsing these options, that's why they expose them. But of course you should do it in a sane way.
And systemd refuses to patch their code to namespace their flag and listen for "systemd.debug" instead of the generic debug flag that is primarily meant for the kernel.
Very explanatory, thank you very much.
Your reward centers are all fucked up. You get bored easily because gaming gives you such a quick high. It's like being addicted to porn.. or smoking.. or anything else, really. My advice is to do what you have to do to start limiting your exposure until you have control over your addictive personality. Also, like someone else in this thread said.. it may not be a bad idea to go back to your day-job until you have this figured out.
Are you working from home? if so, my first advice would be to stop and go find a co-working place. Somewhere you can't just put the laptop aside and turn on your gaming console / PC. If you have games installed on your work computer - uninstall it. Physically separate working hours from leisure time, if you can't control it yourself.

Maybe development is not for you - you might have the talent for it, but not the discipline required to constantly deliver working code. Only the first is not sufficient to be called a "great" developer. In fact, I would say that in most cases discipline and dedication are more important than raw talent. I have worked from home for a couple years, and yes, the temptation is there to put aside work on some days and just watch TV or play a game. And sometimes I did. But having discipline meant I knew I would make for those hours - later in the day or on the weekend if I had to, since I made a conscious choice to do something else.
That was the first command I have tried, but I get many of those: error: use of undeclared identifier 'X'. I am running OSX.
Quite the opposite.

It's practice, and also, it'll get easier as you get older.

This book is a massive PITA to get your hands on (in some countries, perhaps it's back in print?), but a life-changer:

When I was 20 or so a new game came out, it was called 'Elite' (for the BBC micro, or the 'beeb' as it was called back then).

This game was incredible, compared to whatever had been available up to then, and on top of that it was incredibly addictive. And I fell in to that, hook, line & sinker. Days, weeks, probably months were wasted.

Finally, I realized, just like you did that it wasn't going anywhere, it was just changing bits on a drive. That was the key for me, all my spare time (and some time that probably wasn't spare) went into flipping a few bits.

So I did the right thing, I wiped the game and never played again. Now that's pretty drastic, but one thing that makes dealing with addiction easier is to no longer have access to your drug. So get rid of it, and don't replace it with another drug (or another game, for that matter).

Having an addictive personality is a double-edged sword, it can get you places when your addiction is working for you (for a long time I got a similar kick out of learning how to program and then later out of the actual programming). But it can also totally ruin your life, lack of self control is a real problem.

So help yourself to help yourself and remove the source of your addiction first, then you may have an easier time dealing with the root cause and getting your addictive personality under control.

Best of luck.
Do not feel any shame for your addiction. Nobody chooses addiction, it creeps up on you without realising. You now know what's happening to you and you want to do something about it, well done! You will figure out how to fix it, you are clearly a clever person, you will find a way that's right for you, but it may take a few goes and there will be times when believe you will never stop your addiction. But you will.

Try and find someone who you can talk to about this, ask them to hold back on their instinct to provide advice, ask them just to be there to talk to. Then tell them every week or two how it's going.

Good luck
I liked this script, do you know something good not made in jQuery UI? thanks
It sounds like the result of g++
That just means, that they are too lazy to implement a delete queue or something. What's more likely is, that they audit and persist profile changes to gather data even if you "deleted" your account.
I don't know, is this a problem? In some sense, it seems more honest to me than having a delete button that simply sets a "deleted" flag on you in a database.
Block that shit from your hosts file g
Climbing down the tree
And more syntactic sugar than is good for your teeth :) (I'd also want to add generics to the list, but it's over 10 years old, still not many languages that implement it so well)
Hello,

I'd stop playing 100% if I were in you until I have delivered the project. I would try to drop every bridge that tied me to any game that could distract me (uninstall/delete everything/throw away my subscriptions/accesses/etc). Then make sure I get a good rest. To get a good rest, you need to do some physical exercise, go out move get physically tired. Going for a slow-paced run or a walk helps me think, become mentally more focused on my goals, understand that really matters in my life and what doesn't. The time I wouldn't spend working, I would spend outside even alone wandering, taking long walks. I'll try to keep a very strict schedule, work the same amount of hours every day, eat at the same time, take a walk and get tired at the same time to adjust body, to an optimal circadian cycle (but mind you, I work/assimilate way better in morning hours, might be different for others).

Think of it like going to the marine corps for a couple of weeks until you finish what you're suppose to be doing. THEN and only THEN try to fight this issue using more rational scheme: e.g. play games 3 hours per day. Not more, except for weekends, etc. There's no magic bullet you need to find your own.

I was a huge procrastinator too. I'm not anymore, not in things that matter, but I'm not as strict as I would want to with my schedule either yet. What I see from myself is that failing to prepare is preparing to fail (Benjamin Franklin said the quote IIRC). That's my biggest advice, prepare your environment your body your mind for a fight. Also I like motivational speeches, maybe you should try yourself. I find this one to be extremely good[1], hits the nails on many issues I'd like to overcome, give it a go, might help you too.

Good luck with everything, be strong!

The other group is people living in cities for whom transporting groceries home is a serious burden. That's really the only context in which this makes economic sense for both the user and the supplier.

One possible example of the target market is my grandmother, living in a third-floor apartment in Haifa. She already uses a similar service, just less convenient - she has to go the grocery store, buy her groceries and take them to the register, and then order delivery at checkout.

Another target market is your standard techie with no car (e.g. me). In that case, the choices are either a car-share (whose convenience varies with distance to a car-share lot - in my case pretty high) or lugging stuff back by hand (convenience varies both with distance to the grocery store and with the number of hills in the way - in my case, I live on top of a gigantic hill). Even so, I think this is only worth it if the subscription cost is split between 2-4 people. I don't think this is for people with a car and a parking spot, but there are a lot of people who don't, even with a high income.

When I did the free trial, the prices weren't all that bad - generally if I shopped around I could find stuff within 5-10% of Safeway prices, and sometimes cheaper, and the convenience was amazing (for example, it also replaced my pharmacy/Target runs). Note, I did find a way to browse their selection before signing up - I just had to tell them what urban area I'm in.
Why would this be a problem? This district of Marseille is really nice, and graffitis contribute to the overall atmosphere.

I just want to say that you're correct, I've had this problem as well. As a non-native speaker for some reason it also didn't occur to me that the "shade" in shader has anything to do with color. It's just one of those things you can misunderstand. The way you explain it is much easier to understand.

I think all the people defending the term are all quite invested in the area already, so it's obvious to them.
Since no one else mentioned it, how about doing something that interests you much more? Something which gives you even 50% of the kick that those games give you?
This is awesome even if you know the place pretty well, and the sounds and music totally enhance the experience! Thanks for sharing.
They're trolling, right? this is a joke, right?

Please tell me this is a joke.

So i assume this is indeed just a joke.
I've read both and Pierce is much better. I have nothing but respect for Robert Harper, a great thinker in this space, but Pierce is a better writer.

When I was most stressed out I could only work for 30 minutes a day the rest of the time I would procastinate.

For me it was my brain's way of telling me that what I were doing to myself was bad.

I ended up running from the bad business relationship I was in and then I used two years to find my way in life.

Whenever i procastinate I belive it is my brain trying to tell me that what I am doing is not something that is "me". Sometimes I have to do it anyway (paying the bills, going to the dentist) but often it is something where I actually need to do things a little different to find hapiness in what I am doing.

Do I make sense?

They should be free to speak their mind as the opposition, correct?
I probably shouldn't even bring this up. This whole thread will be knocked off the front-page shortly anyway... but I just had a heated debate with a coworker that's an Eich-supporter and found his logic disturbing and ethically broken when it expanded to views on racism, sexism, homophobia. But for all those people who support Eich and keep saying freedom-of-speech goes both ways even for "unpopular opinions":

How would you define Hate Speech. Do you think it's okay? Do you think Google is right for not allowing Hate Speech on youtube?

I'm only asking because I want to know if these Eich-supporters have a limit somewhere; where speech becomes harmful - from just expressing yourself to inflicting a tangible negative effect on others who do not wish it. While I'm not accusing Eich of hate speech, I believe his donation to an effort to make a law which forces his belief on others - something that has nothing to do with how he lives his own life - is similar.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech

>>In law, hate speech is any speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it may incite violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected individual or group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected individual or group.

Am I crazy for thinking that prop8 disparages the love between two men or women that want to get married? Isn't the core of prop8 based on people who cannot accept the LGBT community and want to keep marriage for themselves? Shouldn't society squash this kind of thing out of law?
This was the fairly inevitable conclusion of forcing him to quit. Nobody has come out of this looking good.
I'm not terribly convinced by these things that compile to javascript. I don't much care for javascript, but I'd rather take the bull by the horns than deal with a bunch of generated code, especially in any kind of commercial setting where it's going to be a lot easier to hire JS people rather than people who are both X-lang and JS experts.

That said, it's very much a cool hack, and worth doing on that basis alone.
It would be more appropriate to say that a comment is dead, because you can tell that by looking at it, than that an account is banned, because you can't tell that by looking at it, and when you get that wrong, it's misleading. I definitely should have communicated this more clearly above; I'm sorry I didn't.

It's not just nitpicking. We've gotten many emails from distressed users asking why they were banned because they believed this misinformation. Usually it's nothing more than a duplicate comment that got killed, or something nearly as innocuous.

Edit: I thought about this overnight and I do think there's some merit to your proposal. (I don't buy the thing about email not being accessible enough, but that's separate.) It would need some careful design thinking—something I haven't had a minute for all week—so don't expect anything right away.
God damn it, now in addition to fighting off pulseaudio and systemd from being on my Gentoo box, in a few years I'm going to have to fight off the Lennart kernel...
I don't know whether this is a joke or not, but what do you expect? Proposition 8 passed. A majority of people were in favor of it. You think those people would just rule out applying the same sort of pressure on mozilla that worked so effectively?

This is why, despite supporting gay marriage, I think it is abhorrent that Brendan Eich was effectively forced to resign. He donated privately to a campaign that was supported by a majority of people, but somehow that makes it ok to destroy his career because we don't agree with his stance. I don't particularly want to inhabit a society where that is the norm. It makes me very uneasy.
I agree. The whole episode has been a disaster for Mozilla's mission.
No no, it's already been clearly established in these threads. The pro-gay-marriage side is the only side that gets to speak their minds, because they are the side that is right.

That's how freedom of speech works, after all. Only the person who is right gets it.
Not to mention the fact that if someone at a university does click the link, they could ruin any number of people doing research there. That includes undergrads doing a last-minute reference to their thesis and tenured professors about to cure cancer.
Something that works well for me is having an inspirational source. I purposely didnt say "a motivational source" because that tends to lead to productivity type solutions which never work for me. Inspirational works a lot better for me because I get really motivated to work when I see what amazing things others have done because I want to do amazing things as well. What is my number one source for inspirational material? YCombinator Startup School: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcefcZRL2oaA_uBNeo5UOWg . Whenever I recognize that I'm procrastinating, I watch a video (plus there are always new things to learn from rewatching old videos).
Presumably if you have an account JohnSmith, that will be held locally on the computers of all your contacts, if the account was deleted and someone else registered a new JohnSmith account then your old contacts could end up calling a complete stranger.

Microsoft could have some process that records dead accounts and automatically deletes them from the contact lists of the billions of computers running skype, but imagine the problems when someone deletes their account by mistake (or has it hijacked and deleted by a third party) and wants it restored.

Now the better approach might be to associate each JohnSmith account with a unique ID that never gets recycled and then reject calls unless the account_IDs match. But that's probably a lot of re-engineering that they don't want to do.
Court rulings from 50 years ago won't help - the context then was race, not sexuality.

This is another example of drawing parallels with obviously blatant racism from well before the 60s and hoping it fits the modern argument.

Further ramblings:

If one of the main functions of marriage is a platform for starting a family, then right away gay couples have a problem. If they marry, the mother or father is sorted out, but not both. And only one of the parents is biologically linked to the child. A third person is needed, and marriage by definition excludes a third person. Something new is needed that brings in the third person. Because who wouldn't want to know and keep in contact with their biological parent? Even if it was a "sperm donor", it's still the biological father.

Obviously we make the best of the situation, but it still goes against the grain of the billion year old natural process. It's like trying to force normality by applying an existing ceremony (marriage) to a biologically unnatural situation, all for "love" and "health benefits". Well, I think you can have love and legal equality in a recognised same-sex relationship without calling it marriage. That's what I now argue for after this Firefox thing because I don't like tactics where certain groups push their opinions in such a manner. So I'm in favour of giving gay couples legal rights for all those things such as medical emergencies - but stopping short of marriage.
