The title here should probably be edited to add "(2007)," which is when I first read this interesting and informative article. This article was published just around the time that Carol Dweck was putting together her popular book Mindset,[1] which is well worth reading for all the Hacker News participants who have missed out on reading the book so far. Follow-up research by Dweck and other researchers have continued to show benefits to "growth mindset" and good effects from interventions designed to build growth mindset in young learners and older learners.[2] I'm very glad that this research program was pursued while my children were still young, as I think that my children have benefited from mindset interventions that emphasize effort in practice over "natural" talent.

I'm confused as to the relevance of this post - I'm not sure that the study indicates that smoking marijuana would, you know, prevent death via all glioma type cancers.

The variables are different from top to bottom. Is this post meant to dispute the validity of pure form THC-BDS + irradiation as a effective treatment for brain tumors? If so, yeesh.
> Is that so bad? Muddling through has probably gotten you further than you give it credit for, why do you think you have to be mister super productivity to get further?

I have an answer for this one, and I think the War of Art captures it- it's the pain of missed obligations, unfulfilled promises, etc. Anxiety, stress, difficulty sleeping, etc. 'Mr Super Productivity' is a bit of a strawman- I think most people would be happy just to say "I have regularly productive days and I am on top of my work and my commitments".

I know what it's like to think "it's not so bad, I can just waffle my way through life". It means upsetting parents, teachers, girlfriends, friends, the spouse. It means disappointing people.
Good job. I played this game way more than I should have last night.

I've been using it for a while, it's pretty good. One of the best things about bullet journal that things like Asana, Trello, and all the digital tools are bad as doing is- you have to REWRITE tasks that you haven't completed yet. They don't just get lost under a pile of forgotten tasks. You have to revisit them each time you rewrite them. This does something for the memory. It works for me, anyway.
Yes, that's a separate bit "Salvatorische Klausel" we call it.

However, I usually see this separately. For example (German):

I've seen fine print of lowest-price-guarantee that rules out any online offers. In one case the shop told us to add the shipping cost to the one offer we presented (shipping cost was zero so we got the deal).

They aren't smoking it but ingesting it in a highly concentrated form. And in 1:1 ratios of THC and CBDs. There are an endless variety of strains and a lot is unknown.

I recently got cancer and smoking marijuana was indispensable for dealing with treatment. And now I am using hash oil as my doctors say there is nothing I can do, no diet to eat, no exercise nor anything else I can do to reduce my chance of having the cancer come back.

This blog post is highly misleading. The only reason you made $6k in a month with index funds is A) because you would have already had about $60k in the account and B) because indexes were recovering from a large drop just before that one-month time horizon. To give more perspective, the 3-month return for your most heavily weighted fund is about half of the current 1-month average. To make $6k/month assuming average annual growth (not something you can always count on, but let's keep it simple), you'd need closer to $900k already in your account.

Should people invest? Yes. Should they invest in index funds instead of day-trading? Almost certainly. Should they expect $6k/month returns from whatever change they scraped from underneath the sofa cushions? No.
Google does, atleast for fullwidth.

I've found very few cases where "punting that over to a cloud provider" has been remotely cost effective for base load. It's gotten closer over the years, but the gap is still massive for all but some very specific types of workloads.

It's great for convenience, and it's great for managing without certain skillsets that may be hard to obtain, and it's great for temporary capacity, but it's not cheap.

No good reason for why it hasn't changed, except that the underlying single-threaded allocator (Doug Lea's malloc) is really good. The multithreaded version, which is a "per-thread" (not really) wrapper around the Lea allocator has serious problems that have been known for a long time. I wrote a paper outlining and demonstrating the problems in 2000. The inertia is difficult to explain.

If you do any significant programming in C or C++, you will be looking at assembly dumps at some point, even if only in a debugger.

However, in my current job, I range between CoffeeScript, Ruby, Java and C++, and the only time I've had to break out assembly was when optimizing a Java loop - I had to ensure the JIT was doing all the right things, like loop unrolling and bounds check hoisting.

We give it a list of publishers, and it does most the work, however sometimes a little human moderation is still needed for more clean, on-topic results. The newest and most popular stories appear at the top, like on Hacker News (we use a similar ranking algorithm). To measure the popularity of the stories, the algorithm uses social signals.

Remove discipline from the equation if possible. Instead tie it to something you already do. Don't go to bed without first going through a nightly review, for example. And review it again before you leave for work in the morning. Manipulate your environment to prime yourself to do what you previously depended on discipline to do.

The center of mass is the point where the force of gravity would pull you if the force increased proportionally with distance. In reality the force decreases as 1/r^2, which changes things. Think about the more extreme case of a barbell -- a single object. If you're 2/3 of the way on the bar, you'll be attracted towards the closest endpoint, away from the center of mass (midpoint).
I'm at a .edu, not McGill. I'll relate my experience with forced password changes.

>Most people in a rush aren't going to do a good job choosing a secure new password;

Yup. This happens once per year without fail, and more often if there is some security problem. Often enough, it happens during a busy time of the semester (beginning or end).

>they aren't going to read McGill's recommendations about password managers or whatever; they're not even going to take 30 seconds to think about how to come up with a reasonably secure but memorable password.

My employer's IT department's password advice is... vintage, to be kind. It took a shaming in front of the college president to get them to stop threatening people for writing passwords down. The clunky password rules are at least partly responsible for the typically weak passwords. Another factor is the practice of configuration of machines with timeouts in the 10 to 30 minute range, forcing people to constantly enter their passwords. Yet another is the number of disparate IT systems with different password databases, and different password rules.

OK. But it isn't marijuana "itself" that does this. It is one or more chemical components that we can isolate, right? We've done so many times before and created more potent medicines.

But just because these components are present in marijuana I can almost bet that it will be reduced to an argument in the fight for legalization of smoking weed.

I'm not saying it shouldn't be legalized (perhaps it should, perhaps it shouldn't), but that it's an entirely different question.
Still not a chance. Big ink, flashing letters, PA announcements. Same as invisible ink. Courts have a very low opinion of people getting "tricky".

In Germany at least, for example, ALL Click-Through licenses are invalid (last I checked).

A US company I worked for had various (illegal in Germany) data tracking stuff activated. When I pointed this out, they just pointed to the license agreement. Morons. (It was a hardware/software combination, and you only got to the software a long time after you had bought the hardware).

Jails are great. But - and apologies if i'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs here - they're the equivalent of Linux's containers, as implemented in LXC or libcontainer or whatever.

Docker is a layer on top of that - it's what prepares the file contents of the jails and looks after them while they're running. I think Docker can even manage FreeBSD jails, although i'm not certain about that.

It's not the production-readiness of Linux containers that is in question here; they're fine, although nowhere near as mature as jails. The doubt is about docker, the layer on top. If you wanted to make a comparison to jails, it would be to whatever the equivalent of Docker is in the jail ecosystem. I'm not sure what that is; either there isn't one, or it's an ad-hoc pile of site-local shell scripts.
I have more then 60k in the account. Yes, results are atypical. I said that in the blog post. I also said assume 8% a year returns on average.

> in my experience, type related errors are usually easy to find and fix and have rarely if ever been the root cause of our most difficult problems.

In a language without a strong type system you rarely appreciate quite how many of your invariants could be lifted into the type system. When I wrote Python most of my errors didn't seem like type errors (e.g. I remember forgetting to close a connection and so leaking connections), but now that I write Scala I can see how I'd structure my program using types so that that would be a type error (I'd use monads to compose the idea of an operation that uses a connection, and then execute them in one place).

(Python now has an ad-hoc fix for this specific problem in the form of the "with" statement, just as 3.4 adds an ad-hoc fix for the proliferation of different ways of doing async calls. But a good type system is a general solution to both these problems and more).

> Dynamic type checking and implicit conversion is one of the more powerful features of JavaScript

In a strongly typed language you can do this in a controlled way; it can be part of the language, and can apply equally well to user-defined structures. Whereas with Javascript you're stuck with those implicit conversions built into the language, and if you want to convert e.g. an address datatype, you're out of luck.

> certainly no less prone to error or counter-productive than type-casting, making variadic functions or class templates are in other languages.

Then use a language that doesn't have those problems either. There are good languages out there - if Scala isn't for you then how about OCaml or Haskell?
I get the impression which is admittedly informed by very cursory examination of the issues that ripping systemd out may be far more difficult than ripping say, Upstart. Systemd seems to have taken the approach of owning far more than just the Systemv init stuff and that removing it might entail sweeping changes to huge parts of a linux distribution. Systemd does seem to be pushing somewhat of a lock-in strategy and for many in the linux community that rubs them the wrong way.

Personally I don't really care much either way.

The outcome of the vote was something roughly like, "The General Resolution (GR) process is not the right venue to resolve this issue". The GR process has traditionally been used rarely, and mainly for "meta" things (deciding how Debian Developers are approved, that kind of thing). So it's not a huge surprise that sentiment against involving the GR process in the "init wars" was high.

I think this is the last vote related to systemd for a while.

There can only be a single default init system obviously, so a vote was required there. It was a hot topic, no need to rehash this.

The second vote, initiated by Ian Jackson, was controversial from the start. A lot of people were tired about the init topic and wanted to move on, and didn't want the GR. And they got the majority here: the result of the vote is "General Resolution is not required". This is the majority clearly expressing it's now time to move on. And to be honest I'm happy about this, although I'm just a Debian user and do not vote. With this, it's now unlikely to be another vote.

And this desire to move on can be now felt on all sides of the argument, hence the resignations and people moving to other things.
I just want to point out that except for Joey Hess (really sorry about that) all are still remaining part of Debian. They just move out of the TC (or systemd maintainership) but are still DD, working on some parts of Debian.

And now, hopefully, everyone can cool off and move to other things too.

So you're really hitting on the different qualities that can exist inside of public education here, and it's definitely a state-by-state issue (although universally I'd say there are systemic differences between the quality of public urban education vs. suburban vs. rural). While that's definitely a topic of concern and a big problem, the fact remains that that is still publicly funded education. "Rich districts" are still funded by state & county tax funding, where those tax payers are directly taking advantage of their tax dollars at work. My objection was just this notion that public education is just some fringe social benefit for the poor, because outside of the mega-wealthy, its one of the few places in government that society is very deeply invested.

The team option sells occasionally, mostly to agencies.

Low and mid tiers have sold approximately the same number of copies, which means the mid tier brings in about double the revenue.

Not sure what to tell you about Amazon. I don't sell there because I like taking 97% of my revenue instead of 30%, but for a math textbook maybe it would make sense. Do you market to math tutors? It seems like if you could get tutors on board they would be able to easily sell to their students.
It seems to me most of the pain comes from over promising, not being able to say no and the unreasonable expectations of people close to you.
It may be true that there are no disinterested players in this debate. But his overall point is that the SEC paid an HFT firm to supply systems that would be used to oversee HFT, and that seems worth repeating regardless of his own interest in the matter.

Most electronics are more efficient when "cold", but when we say that we mean "cold" by our earth standards, i.e. something like 15 degrees celsius. I think I read that Philae's temperature after landing was less than -160 degrees celsius. Getting anything to work at those temperatures is hard...
It's not cheap to have any confidence of any uptime realistically at all. The thing is that most people either live without that guarantee, or just get lucky enough not to care. It becomes problematic if you've made promises to others about uptime that are built on a house of sand.

Unless your base load cloud costs are more than the cost of full time, ready at a moments notice, experienced ops people you don't get close to any guarantee of uptime by non-managed hosting. The salary cost alone of that is substantial, let alone hardware spread across multiple locations. My firm pays at least 7 figures a year on IT ops and don't come close to 99.9% uptime across everything.
The reason to inconvenience rather than force is users in a rush will pick the worst passwords, even as paid employees where their password is the thing between the outside world and highly confidential stuff.

There is acceptable gray if you're willing to live within the consequences. Big companies never do work until the contract is signed. Smaller companies live within the ambiguity.
