No kidding. Not to mention that a lot of Android developers have the mentality to request every permission they could possibly conceive of using in the future so that the user doesn't reject a potential future update for asking for more permissions. So every single app you install nowadays seems to want access to everything and there's no way to prevent it short of canceling the app installation.
I really want to like AppCode but I just can't deal with the non-native java UI
For diagnosis you need to go to a hospital that does sleep studies. They will hook you up with a sleep apnea machine and sensors and they will monitor your sleep overnight.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea at around 20, which is rare for a young, healthy person. In my case I think it's just genetic because my dad has it. But I figured out something was wrong because I would sleep 10-12 hours and still wake up feeling exhausted. I wore the CPAP machine for a few years and that helped, but now I don't think I need it anymore. I sleep about 7 hours without it and feel fine.
A 1 gigabyte no-IO dd is an unusual microbenchmark: it stresses only syscall rates while wasting time with memcpy. (A loop on getpid() or equivalent would have worked just as well.)

On my workstation the plain dd runs in 40 ms, with systemtap one-liner instrumenting/aggregating those 1 million write(2) syscalls in the kernel extended that tiny runtime to about 50 ms for a 1.25x slowdown. But such small numbers are hardly meaningful.

I'm curious to what extent userspace perf script postprocessing is deemed a technological equivalent to this; or why a new kernel module was deemed necessary versus the perf_event_open(2) ring-buffer abi.
Not having foot taps is another huge bug bear of mine. Especially in public places.
Are you not worried about the relation between marijuana and depression? Although studies on the topic are inconclusive, it's a real concern.
Many of Yelp's problems are due to the star-rating system. My startup, MyFab5, provides people a new way to recommend/find restaurants.

We started by replacing the star rating system with the MyFab5 ranking system. On our platform users rank up to 5 of their favorite places instead of rating/reviewing them (e.g. my top 3 places for Tacos in Austin, TX). It is important to note that people only rank their favorite places so there is no negative content. Users can also attach photos and comments to their rankings. We're all about helping people find the best restaurant for any food or drink related category. So Yelp may be more useful if you're trying to investigate a particular business that isn't truly fantastic. Yelp is also better for anything non-food/drink related.

Our platform is integrated with Instagram so if you're viewing a business that is ranked for Tacos then we show you all the Instagram photos of Tacos taken at that location.

Check out our iPhone app: http://goo.gl/lsg6iF

Use the invite code "daperzer" to test out our app or our website, myfab5.com.

It's true in general, but in most specific cases it is possible to statically analyse dynamic languages to the point of providing meaningful auto-completion. For example in Python-land there is Jedi (http://jedi.jedidjah.ch/en/latest/), and also commercial Komodo IDE and PyCharm. This is done through static analysis, so that no code is ever run for auto-completion.

So, while it's impossible in general case, it's perfectly possible to create useful auto-completion for dynamic languages. There are such tools for Python, JS and probably others as well.

That's what I thought. I wanted to know if the OP had some way to manage the dependencies between snapshots.
Seems like a better workaround for the time being. I know from personal experience that I tend to either: a) somewhat trust the app I'm using, so I just blindly accept to get it out of the way, or b) don't trust the app at all since it's completely new to me, so I tap to deny immediately.

If you can make your users feel more comfortable about the legitimacy of your app and help them to feel more at ease with giving away those permissions, then you're doing a good job.
>Then I met up with a couple who was into hardcore CR.

You probably met someone on the extreme hardcore edge of it. Certainly it's a spectrum and counting calories and nutrients with computer programs is extremely normal today -- there are about a million programs that do it on your phone for you including taking photos of bar codes, etc.
Neat idea, but the interface as is feels super clunky. For example, the undo button on the first question causes my reflection controls to disappear. I'm off by half a point, but I can't quickly iterate to find the right answer. For the second one, I imagine a click and drag interface would do pretty well, where I click the origin and drag a distance equal to the dilation.

It's a great interactive puzzle either way. I imagine that making it more highly interactive would be a great way to help kids get better at spatial reasoning.
Rust is usable today.

Yes, sometimes the language/lib changes and you have to go through and edit all of your existing code. You can stick with point releases to minimize this, but most likely you won't want to, because these breaking changes fix problems and annoyances!

If you take a look at these changes for 0.10, they make progress on the language itself, and leaving these things as-is to stabilize the language would have been a terrible mistake. There are more of these in the line (DST..), as there should be. IMHO, Rust will be "ready" when such changes stop creating real progress.

Having watched Rust for several years now, it has always been apparent that it isn't an overnight language. Despite the goal of being based on only existing research, getting new implementations of ideas right takes careful deliberation. A large part of language design is getting the core features to play well with one another in ways that make sense, and creating well-thought-out core libraries that properly implement standard abstractions. Every inconsistency and incompleteness at this stage will lead to constant (poor) reinvention of these concepts to achieve the missing capabilities, and a subsequent proliferation of ecosystem glue code to make the different implementations communicate. A large part of why dynamic languages can be so expressive is that their core abstractions contain enough indirection to add missing functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, but a close-to-the-metal language simply does not have that luxury.

Thank you. I think I understand what you say but I simply disagree. einhverfr worked at Microsoft but it's fallacious to think that his view can't be naive because of that.

For me copyleft without assignment is the safer choice, the others depend on future goodwill or a view of the market self-regulating which I don't see happening with such a big gorilla. After the clarification about assignment, I don't see how it's misleading or wrong in any way. If copyleft licenses can be abused in certain situations it doesn't mean non-copyleft ones can't or are the better option here.

I'm interested but worried about the long term viability of this free compiler. I don't want to depend on Microsoft getting the value of FOSS or not. They can give guarantees today that even if they change their mind tomorrow they can't go back in this decision.

I know copyleft licenses can be a pain and that they have problems on their own. I use GPL and LGPL software daily, so I know it. But those issues are orthogonal to the one I'm talking about here (the guaranteed free access to future versions to the community).

And sorry but unless we are talking about another software giant, there's simply no way Microsoft could feel threatened about a third party version of the compiler which works on their framework which is used by their IDE on their OS. They either don't mind what you are doing, will replicate it easily or if everything else fails will keep you away from their framework or IDE.

But I'll shut up as my opinions are continously downvoted by some who can't be bothered to explain even why. I saw some perfectly reasonable comments by einhverfr downvoted too, so it's not just me. I feel HN is becoming toxic. Thanks anyway for the response.
In the US, diagnosis is made in a one-night sleep clinic with an EKG and an adjustable CPAP. If you do this, make sure to tell the technician that if you register apneation, you would like a CPAP titration calibration done immediately. This saves you (a) another bad night's sleep in the clinic and (b) insurance hassles.

Then you go back to your doctor, discuss your need for a CPAP or APAP machine right now, and possible longer-term treatments.

Depending on insurance specifics, it may be much cheaper to buy a CPAP from an online source than via a full-service insurance-covered medical equipment company. Saving 50-75% is not unusual.

I've never been able to get my head around the idea of free will. Maybe it's because in lacking even a rudamentary background in philosophy.

I think people mean they make decisions. Doesn't that mean randomness robs you of free will? The you (whatever that is) isn't making decisions, chance is.

If it's you making decisions, wouldn't those decisions have to depend on you and the situation, which means it's entirely deterministic? If I know you and I know the situation, I could predict your decision?

> "But there are loads of early Christian books / "gospels" that survive or rediscovered which are quite different from what's in the bible, and no-one really cares."

http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/ has a large collection of writings relating to Christianity.

One of the reasons "no one cares" about a lot of the "quite different" books is that they haven't been established as being written in the same time period. The Gospel of Thomas has the strongest claim to being contemporary with the other gospels, but even that claim is fairly weak; the GoT appears to quote heavily from and allude to the other writings, as if it was written at a later date in response. My own read is that it's from around the time of Marcion.

Many of the other "gospels" appear to have been written much later, and they lack even basic historical credibility. The canonical gospels reference names and locations that are appropriate for 1st century Palestine (lots of guys named Simon, references to specific small villages), as if they were written by people who were at least familiar with the area at that time; many of the other gospels name Jesus, Mary, Jerusalem, and that's it, as if they were written by people from elsewhere who had heard the names but had no firsthand knowledge.

One of the other writings linked on that page (I forget whether it's Ignatius or someone else) actually discusses the gospels, describing the authorship of the four that are in the Bible. Many of the writings, including some that are in the Bible, warn against false teachers and distortions of the gospel.

The net result is that few people are either particularly surprised that there were "quite different" gospels, or are particularly inclined to treat them as credible.

I am in a similar situation. Every time I think about accelerators I try to decide if it is a rational decision or one based on ego and desire for attention.

Why do you put activism in this sentence along with insider trading? Are you implying that it is morally reprehensible in the same way that insider trading is? Activism is in no way illegal and many consider it a counter against corporate cronyism that can infect public corporations due to the principal/agent problem.

It is not entirely true. The GFW did offer protect to the local companies from the western giants at the very beginning. But this is just a side-effect.I don't think that is because the CCP government prefers to sponsor the home-grown ones.

>So a clever programmer will always be able to boost performance more than a compiler.

I believe the term you're looking for there is "a sufficiently-clever programmer" :)

Arguably one is more likely to exist than a sufficiently-clever compiler, but it's exactly the same claim. Even the best humans will have sub-optimal edge cases just like compilers. Given perfect information, sure, I'll agree humans can do better. But it's probably impossible to have (much less make use of) perfect information.
