>>but they're far ahead of their friends in normal schools.

The real problem isn't the failure of an educational style but rather particular institutions. Where I grew up the kids who went to good private schools were at the same level as us. As I wrote earlier we often compare apples to oranges when we compare against Montessori schools, comparing bad (public) to Montessori(more expensive, private). If we can't find a familiarly priced or ranked school, with a similar level of parent involvement, we should avoid making a judgement about the method.
I'll claim it. When I'm stressed I love to go somewhere full of strangers and just see them all pass by, getting on with their lives. Train stations or the like are particularly good.
Yes, I also believe this a great news. I can't want for the day for me to jump in the car from the bar drunk as hell and my car drives me home. But I also agree with the anti-government types in the respect that the government should not be forcing technology into law. I mean this not because the 'OH MY GOD THE GOVERNMENT IS SPYING ON ME'. But I mean in the way that then there is one a monopoly on the technology and how the law is written. If the law states 'contractor A' will supply the hardware, or that the law states 'must use bluetooth technology' or 'must use wifi or radio frequencies x,y, and z' I do have a problem with that. If anything it should be 'optional' because I don't want more features in my car. I also know plenty of people do NOT want this because they don't want all the 'features' and just want a car to get from point A to point B. Not only that. But this will also increase the cost of the car for development and hardware, etc.

Oddly enough, I find sitting in the food market in the centre of one of Europe's largest cities a calming experience. Large open space. Human scale activity. Elemental stuff going on (huge range of food on display, lots of people of all stages in life and backgrounds browsing and buying with cash).

Not statistical though.

Hey Jon. I don't check HN comments very often. Keith was unable to record the audio on his side, plus he didn't have headphones or a microphone. On top of all that, we had to use Google Hangouts instead of Skype, which would have improved the audio at least a little bit. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good for how little I could control myself. Even Nate's episode was bad IMO because the room was so noisy and we were far from the mic. It's hopefully going to get a lot better!

I really don't think there's any reason for car's to have inter communication systems. Using statistics and light signals, cars can have the theoretical capacity to guess what others cars are about to do.
States(properties) should never be public or it breaks encapsulation.That's why a language that allows a property to be a method under the hood is usefull, because the state is still encapsulated.

State changes can have desirable side effects.If you expose an instance variable directly it's harder to encapsulate that.

Of course there are exceptions. If you have a class that is meant to be only a parameter bag(in an rest API for instance),that's ok,imho.

Road design can also have a lot to do with it. There's a rather dangerous intersection close to my house, where there's a serious right-angle collision about every 2 months on average (over a >2 year observation period). It's close to a freeway on-ramp (so you get people who are in a hurry), visibility is poor in some directions due to large trees and bus shelters, and you have a 2 lane street crossing a 6 lane one (zoning boundary that's also a transit artery).
Go for a single page, unless you have some legitimate reason to have multiple pages. Many HR people will simply throw out resumes if they seem too long, and having a resume that seems 'padded' will not get you respect either.

If you have a PhD and a whole page of peer-reviewed published research, you can put that on the second page; otherwise keep to one page and assume that whoever is looking at your resume will google your name if they are interested.
Feedback is really appreciated, also feel free to ask any questions on here or directly via leon@reviewo.com
No, that's not part of Spring. It would be implemented by a container. OSGi was a sort of failed attempt at standardizing it. Right now you have to pay for something like jrebel (worth it, IMO) to get hot swapping.

The pointer will have a non-trap representation, if that is even a thing in C++. I wouldn't even assume it's non-null or not a value shared between different vectors. You can also add or subtract 0 to the pointer, or subtract the pointer from itself.
Ok, I got you. If type-safety means, as you say, "you can only use operations on x that x's type supports", then all is well. I must admit that I was under the impression that type-safety meant more: if I assign to a variable x of type A an object of type B, then that is an error even if the type B will work syntactically (i.e. has all the operations needed by my variable x), because it may not work semantically.

Interesting.

>In comparaison to other languages, Finnish is very regular.

Sanskrit (another Indo-European language) is another language that is regular, or maybe I should say its grammar rules are fairly systematic. It's as though the language was designed by a mathematician or computer scientist - orthogonal, etc. - speaking loosely, of course - I'm not a linguist by any means. But I did study Sanskrit for some years in high school.

Also:

>really rich in derivations (you can create hundreds of words based on one root

Similar to Sanskrit again. You can create words not only based on one root, but by combining various words, roots, stems, prefixes, suffixes, etc. Of course other languages may have this too.

Another interesting thing I read about Sanskrit is that some of the verses in shlokas [1] have multiple layers of meaning, e.g. a superficial meaning and deeper meaning(s).

The latter probably runs the script as though you are within the context of a web page (so full Ajax/JS support).

I assume the Simple version might be completely written in Node.js - so parses the HTML content, but no dynamic scripting.

The important thing to note is that in the Dynamic, you can't use closures in your internal functions as it wont get executed within your Node.js context, but will in PhantomJS.

As for use case, I do it for https://myshopdata.com to allow retailers to extract their product information with rich content and variation support (even if loaded by the user interacting with a dropdown on variations). It then allows you publish this in marketplaces, while information in sync by monitoring.

As far as I understand, their demo is dependent on their kernel mode driver through which a user mode application can write to any memory address with the "root" privileges.

So it demonstrates that if you already have the "root" "write" privileges, you can bypass the protections provided by the kernel. I fail to see what exactly is impressive then.

I think I have to give up on you. You are refusing double-blind studies as evidence. You are misrepresenting NIMH's stance on DSM because you don't know the difference between diagnostics and research. You are quoting minority opinions as proven fact, without actual proof, of course.

> Doubt and confusion as to where this disorder fits into the general spectrum of illness further feeds the general perception that ADHD is a socially constructed disorder rather than a valid neurobiological disorder.

This is actually exactly what I am talking about. The article worries not about ADHD overdiagnosis, but about the public perception of overdiagnosis - while the author is pretty clear that it is a valid neurobiological disorder, and that there is no evidence for overprescription.

Are you a scientist? I sure hope not...

What particularly is your issue around GC fragmentation? I ask because I had issues previously, but it was "solved" by moving to the G1 GC, I didn't know if you have considered the same.
What he is describing are aggulutinative languages. They are not that unique.

I feel like a broken record, but I think Arabic qualifies (my specialty). I also think of German, Turkish, Russian.

What is interesting, at least with dialectical Arabic and a general trend in languages where synthetic languages (agglutinative languages are a subset of that) move to analytic (like English, where you have clusters of words bonding to have a meaning, instead of morphology changes on the word) over time (I was studying with an Arabic dialectologist who worked with US DoS to write their books; perhaps the leading non-native on this stuff). She said if you read, this is not an uncommon trend as hinted earlier.

English is a good example of eventually dropping agglutinative (synthetic to analytic). I am not sure if this is happening to Finnish, but as an Arabic speaker it is very fun to use an agglutinative language with a special pattern system. Imagine basic word meanings are objects, and you can subclass them into a person doing it noun (k-t-b -> k-aa-t-b, writer), or a place where it is done (k-t-b -> m-k-t-b or m-k-t-b-a, office and library respectively) or something that is the passive object form (m-k-t-oo-b, something written down). There are even versions for receivng action passively, and many variants for verb types. You can build verbs on the fly. It is fun to watch US movies, here a weird word, and guess the root into the right pattern.

I have heard Finnish is cool, but not for quite the same reasons (at least it is very general). But keep that agglutination and fight the power!
Open source doesn't really change much here.

I'm arguing against taking a stack-centric view, which you and the author are doing, just taking opposite sides (open source/MS).

I'm arguing in favor of building up foundational knowledge that you can apply in any stack. This is the real essence of computation: decomposing problems, inventing abstractions, and composing those abstractions. These skills serve you in every stack you come into contact with. Why wouldn't you want to hone them? If you're good enough with these skills, then every new stack that comes along is relatively trivial to understand -- you can apply your foundational knowledge to easily understand what it is doing on your behalf.

This isn't the right way to to submit this story to HN. You've probably allowed the submission to be penalized by not simply submitting the Joe Stump post. That's because HN actively doesn't want you to use "Ask HN" this way. What you're doing is effectively writing a submission with your own comment bolted to the top of the thread.

In the future, there are two better ways to submit something like this:

* Simply submit the URL and then write a good comment about why you liked it.

* Write a blog post about the story, and submit the blog post.

There are pitfalls to both of the right approaches. You probably submitted this way because you anticipated that the story wouldn't hit the front page if you did it the normal way, and that's probably right.

And if you write the blog post, there's a good chance the story gets rewritten to point to the original source. But that's not much of a problem, because your goal is to get attention for the original story, not to showcase your own comment.

As it happens, you've done one of these already; you submitted the story, and then an "Ask HN" style submission. I upvoted the original submission, but am flagging this one.
This is great. As someone from South America I appreciate their efforts. I hope they do very well.

4. I don't use vector<int>::size_type and I don't use decltype(sz) throughout the rest of the function. I use size_t and let the compiler give me an error if size() happens to return a different type or, if when making use of sz, types get mixed.

5. That's a little too anecdotal and 'appeal to authority' for my liking.

The big question, I suppose, is defining guidelines for when auto helps readability and when it hurts it. My experience has been that it is best to default to no auto and only use auto after trying the non-auto way first. Iterators and template-heavy containers are great instances where auto helps. In our codebase I can't think of another situation in which auto would be useful.

We also don't have heavy template usage outside of containers. If your code has templates everywhere then I can imagine the number of times auto is an improvement in readability would be larger.

There have been exceptionally few times where I have jumped into someone else's code and said "wow, their heavy use of auto has made this easier to read and understand".
Nope. I have always been a lurker, but I see the link up top now. Will post my project there! Thanks!
>> Road design...

I couldn't agree more. We have roads set up in grid, forcing intersections every mile. Not only is this a huge safety issue, the stopping is where a large part of fuel goes and is where half the time spent commuting goes. The urban drive cycle has an average speed of just under 20mph due to all the stopping.
DEP, SMEP, ASLR are there to make the user-mode exploits harder. But if that bypass depends on having the "root" "write anywhere" hole, well, it uses the quite a big hole, and they just demonstrate that it is actually a big one.

As far as I undestand, DEP and SMEP simply use the VM page flags controlled by the "root." The article authors depend on having the "root" write access to the given flags, and then they claim that they "bypass" DEP and SMEP, whereas they actually change the mentioned flags. They also explain that as soon as they have that, they simply aren't constrained by the ASLR at all.
I've heard the same. I had some friends who were house hunting and placed six bids on homes in the peninsula, only to be out-bid at least 20% in cash over the valuation of the home each time.

They ended up getting a house finally at 10% over, but only after convincing the person to close early and not list it. They claim it prevented the foreign investors from finding it.
I agree! I last updated to 4.1.1, and none of the security patches since then have been relevant to my codebase or included gems, so far.

>Often in the media, protesters can gain sympathy for their cause by prompting authorities to take physical action against them.

"blame the victim" right from the start (2nd paragraph). I guess that sets the tone for the army people who are normally pretty isolated from social issues and don't have very well informed opinion of their own.

>The level of violence is determined by the willingness of demonstrators to display and voice their opinions in support of their cause and the actions and reactions of the control force on scene.

"the willingness of demonstrators to display and voice their opinions in support of their cause" as a major leading factor determining level of violence - blame the witness again, these hippies/african-americans/whoever brought it upon themselves. If you think about it - a willingness to display and voice your opinions is a major existential threat to the established order and, given such level of the threat, violent response by the established order would be a reasonable (from the order's POV) thing.

Major point here seems to be as usually is to take all responsibility issues on the part of enforcers/army out of picture and just make them follow the orders with full surety that they going the right thing. Typical brainwash.
