This is exactly why I'm so excited about Rust.
I wonder why Intel doesn't just design their own custom Arm core like Apple and Qualcomm do. Why so focused on moving manufacturers to x86?
I'm sure to an extent it helps you, then after a point like most things it will hinder you. I wouldn't expect some of the past and present Mr.Olympias to be very healthy.
It's been well over a decade since I've dabbled in this. My viewpoint is that while psychedelics are mostly harmless, there is a small chance for some latent psychological "damage" if you will.

There's not much evidence that psychedelics cause any physical harm to the body or risk of death/overdose, but there is evidence that psychedelics can have lasting psychological effects. I think most of the time (as in my case, personally) the effects are generally positive. However, I think that excessive use (which is uncommon due to the nature of these substances being generally non-addictive) can increase the chance of adverse effects.

HPPD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_percept...) for example is the occurrence of latent "sensory disturbances" that people can experience years after psychedelic drug use.

Anecdotally, a friend of mine had to be temporarily hospitalized for a week or so due to a "psychotic break" that occurred after a year or two of fairly heavy psychedelic drug use. He had been otherwise mentally sound and physically healthy leading up to that point, and to this day he believes that the psychedelic drug use either directly contributed to the meltdown or otherwised exacerbated some previous unknown condition. Thankfully he's been mostly fine ever since.

I don't think that this evidence is reason enough to ban psychedelics. I think there is some genuine benefit that they can provide, and that more research should be done so the positive and negative effects can be better determined.
Ask HN: What companies have innovative process for interviewing engineers
The common theme for interviewing engineers is whiteboard coding, which tests only very narrow skillsets of a candidate. Nowadays, mediocre people can still become good "problem solver" if they have enough practice.

So I'm just curious, what companies in bay areas have an interview process that doesn't heavily rely on whiteboard coding?
Sigh. Dinosaurs stuck in their mindset continue to watch as their businesses disappear into the tarpits.
Or Intel is still betting on x86 and thinking ARM is "just a fad"

Spanish Newspapers Want Google News Back
Helsinki looks at smart travel solutions to reduce private traffic
Is there a shortage of cruise ships? Perhaps cruise ships require many man hours and not-abundant resources to make. Perhaps software engineers require many man hours to make and intelligent people with a passion for computer science is a scarce resource.

We can say "there is a food shortage" because a certain amount of food is necessary for a society to survive. The same can't be said of software developers.

Also, if you argue a high price means it is scarce, does that mean there is a shortage of hedge fund managers and CEOs?
The irony is, I'm going further out on a limb, and at the same time making a falsifiable claim. Unlike you, I do not believe that the NSA subverts standards groups by injecting spurious complexity. I think there's a lot of spurious complexity in crypto standards (in fact, I think that for the most part, crypto standards are evil), but that it doesn't come from NSA.

There are archived mailing lists of many of these standards groups. We should be able to find an example of a potentially NSA-sourced complexity.

Remember when John Gilmore claimed that someone from the government had persuaded the IPSEC working group to misuse CBC IVs in order to weaken the standard? We found out who was behind that, and it clearly wasn't the NSA --- not only that, but they were part of a years-running clique of people degrading crypto standards out of what appears to be vanity and ignorance.

If you're a crypto standards body, I think vanity and ignorance is a much bigger threat than NSA.

(I think NSA did subvert at least one crypto standard, for what it's worth).
My guess is that Spanish media pushed Spanish government for getting a "compensation" like the French publishers got -or will get- (60 € million) because of Google News operating in France. Google said, no, and then, the Spanish News Publishers' Association became worried because that would hurt them. So, they played a bluff, and they lost. Great victory for Google.

This makes me so sentimental. My parents did not let me have a computer when growing up, but they did let me have a calculator. So I did what I had to do to buy a ton of them (TI82, HP48GX etc). At some point I purchased a TI92 but when reading about that now I see it was classified as a computer and not a calculator.

I run a similar system, but with OpenBSD. I don't have to fight systemd and DBus and PulseAudio there. I find OpenBSD to be a much better put together system in general, at the expense of some desktopy things I'd rather do without anyway.

The old new things
At no point has the interests of any company I've worked with dovetailed with the NSA's. That was a profoundly ignorant and obnoxious accusation to casually lob at anyone.
The article doesn't say that.

As an aside, long-term (which is where we really care about "healthy" anyway), you would probably expect body builders to be healthier than some classes of athletes, with various circumstances obviously influencing that.

Professional sports are notoriously rough on the body (and mind) long-term. It's not a secret that athletes in certain sports (e.g. american football, boxing) often have debilitating health issues in their later years stemming from their career. I'd say Arnold is doing a hell of a lot better health-wise than Muhammad Ali, for example.

Well I worked for a swedish company for 4 months remotely from India and dint find any trouble with the taxes. And I agree, working remotely for a US based company is the best that can happen. Earning in dollars and spending is local currency makes life alot easier.
I did a small amount of research on this on behalf of a psychologist involved in torture trials (not testing torture, bringing people to account). The use of Skinny Puppy's music has been quite widespread.
I think of myself as being mostly introverted, so I was a little surprised at how well I can relate to many of those suggestions. It's good to remember that the introvert-extrovert thing is a tendency with many levels rather than an absolute. I do need and enjoy lots of alone time, solo projects, and low-intensity social interaction (ahem ahem, internet forums like HN...). But I also need some amount of actual in-person social interaction, including the types of things the author describes.

I also wonder sometimes just how introverted people who say that they're introverted really are. I tend to think that true introversion is genuine pleasure at being alone, and discomfort from being in social situations is not necessarily a consequence of that so much as not having learned social skills. Enjoying being alone is perfectly okay and not something that can be or needs to be 'fixed'. Social skills can be learned and improved at any time, though, just like any other skill. If you don't care to, that's perfectly fine, but you could be missing out on a lot of things you might otherwise get.
I flew virtually with real life general aviation pilots, some of them assuming the role of the ATC in the sim; or else players would proceed like with uncontrolled airstrips in real life: announcing take-offs, landings, etc. on the "frequency" (a channel on a teamspeak server, one for each airport).

For someone like me who is has never flown a plane, it added kind of an RPG aspect to the simulation.
But your analogy is flawed. When a line cook makes a meal, there is a physical good that can only be consumed once. What we are discussing here is whether the line cook should be paid for the recipe, any time anyone uses it, rather than just for the service of preparing the food.
I'm not misinterpreting you, I'm calling you dishonest. The people you conjure up do not exist in any quantity and you know this. The only reason to tie yourself to the rhetoric you do is to delegitimize the people who need to eat, much like other people (around here, no less) attempt to write off endemic societal problems around racism "because looters".
Agreed. I've found that a lot of education officials hide behind that jargon, that's all. Totally get the domain specific jargon. I've seen my wife glaze in about 30s when I start muttering about tech stuff!
While it sounds like your friend did actually run afoul of these substances...

How would you distinguish between lasting psychological effects from psychedelics, and lasting effects from other impactful experiences? (World travel, adventure tourism, cults, psychiatry...)

In other words, do you have any ideas about to distinguish between the lasting effects of the chemical versus lasting effects of the experience?
Out of curiosity, what color scheme are you using in Sublime Text?

If I was building software to automatically underbid products being sold in an online store, I would for sure want some safeguards in place to prevent this. I would almost expect this kind of scenario playing out as an eventuality. I realize this was a bug and that the code otherwise works, but they've obviously got a single point of failure. There should be some redundancy in the design, but I guess that's fairly obvious now.

A few things they could do (as told from my mighty armchair of wisdom):

* slow roll out of new code so not everyone is impacted (assuming service architecture permits)

* alert/circuit-breaker on changes to qty sold versus order totals; compare with historical data

* request approval on price changes before they apply

* prevent or notify on price changes exceeding X% amount relative to last week or month

* circuit-breaker on significant uptick in order count compared to average

* and of course, better QA and validation of their code and systems

I think it's safe to say RepricerExpress will be putting some safeguards in place to prevent this from happening again. Or they'll just go under from the customer flight. Or it's a scrappy PHP script that they'll update in notepad and call it a day.
I just got my fourth monitor. Two of them are old shitty 900p screens though. My main displays are my new 144hz 24" 1080p panel ($160 black friday sale) a 21.5" 1080p panel over hdmi, and the two shitty old panels I got from clients throwing out their old screens.

Usually the layout is IDE on the main window, docs on the second screen, IRC, git, and github on the third / fourth.
I think you missed the point of the news:

First AEDE, the Spanish News Publishers’ Association lobbied for the law that created fees for web linking (pretty insane and ultimately unfeasible).

After the law was passed, Google said they would then close Google News Spain since they make no money with it.

Now AEDE seems to have changed its mind and is actually asking the opposite, for the government to prevent Google News closure.

Also, regarding your points:
1. You should not make arbitrary laws. 2 and 3 are good.
I don´t think the article is proposing "the more, the better". Rather, it is emphasizing that muscle mass is much more that pure force production or aesthetics in that it plays a key role in maintaining a healthy metabolism.

Replying to your question: if you compare two identical women differing only in their percentage of muscle mass, yes, one is healthier than the other.

As for the body builders; this is a tricky question, but I don´t think they are healthier than the general population...muscle mass being completely irrelevant.

"well it's not brain surgery" is an American expression.

And you're kind of proving my point about the arrogance of programmers.

I'm sure you'll fix your moms computer before you let just anybody do brain surgery on her. A large project may have many interconnected components, but it's not the only profession that involves such things and the way the human brain works means that given enough time you'll probably be able to understand whatever systems you would like to. I mean, what it basically comes down to is understanding a few programming languages and logic. Maybe chemistry would be a better comparison? I wouldn't say IQ matters as much as dedication.

Bill Joy wasn't at the forefront of computer science at the dawn of the computer age because he was a super genius, he had just logged more than 10,000 hours of programming by that time.

Unfortunately for us programmers we're soon going to find our salaries going down simply because there are inevitably going to be more and more tech savvy people and programmers. It's not a new thing anymore. ANYONE can do it. Literally. Only about 1% of programming being done right now is highly advanced and complicated. The good programmers will continue to create easy to understand abstracts for the not so good programmers until we can ask watson to code what we need on the spot.
Most desktop 4k monitors are being released at 28". That seems reasonable, albeit I do prefer the 24" ones with good DPI. Again, Windows continues to hold us back, because vendors don't want 250+ DPI on the desktop because Windows cannot handle it.
So say we all.

> but eliminate many very painful bug opportunities that require tools like Valgrind to debug.

That's an understatement. Rust won't just eliminate many very painful bugs, but probably the most common class of errors too!
Totally agreed about the pie. About the other part, though...

I'm really interested to know what you could mean. Isn't it, well, kind of mistaken to feel like we shouldn't cooperate with officers? The power asymmetry is just too great, on a practical level. But beyond the cold facts, it seems like the basis of a functional society is to cooperate. In a situation where there's an injustice, the media might be able to help if you write up a compelling story, though it's true that'd be a remediation after the problem occurred. It just seems like not cooperating will cause more problems than it could possibly solve, in every possible case. So it's interesting to me, and I'd love to get your perspective on some situation where it could be helpful.
Maybe I'm using it wrong then :) The only time I play anything on SoundCloud is when I follow a link from Facebook or elsewhere to listen to a specific song or mixtape. Anything else playing after that, no matter how relevant, is not what I wanted or expected.

I think that what you're trying to say is that `a large percentage of HNers are Americans and thus care more about copyright being used against them in order to extort them, usually for money.`

Most "Americans" care about a wide variety of topics so please take this sort of stereotype somewhere else.
Anyone knows if something like this is available for C++ when using Visual Studio? I just started experiencing issues with this a few days ago when porting my application to x64. Would be nice if it was possible to enable something in debug mode so that an error is triggered if an overflow occur

RFP-CS Capacity
"Fire is hot, cars are hard, and if you want to fly, start from the ground."

Very few psychedelics render you capable of that level of dissociation from reality while also leaving you capable of locomotion.
Ahh, and here's a more recent paper on the topic: http://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/8899722/MichelSci... .

It says "each trajectory was sui generis; we observed no characteristic shape" in how a verb is made regular or irregular. It observes:

> Though irregulars generally yield to regulars, two verbs did the opposite: light/lit and wake/woke. Both were irregular in Middle English, were mostly regular by 1800, and subsequently backtracked and are irregular again today. The fact that these verbs have been going back and forth for nearly 500 years highlights the gradual nature of the underlying process.

> Still, there was at least one instance of rapid progress by an irregular form. Presently, 1% of the English speaking population switches

You could try it here too, what do you remember about it? What country were you playing it in? What were the controls? Joystick, trackball, one giant button, several buttons?

> HPPD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_percept...) for example is the occurrence of latent "sensory disturbances" that people can experience years after psychedelic drug use.

In my humble anecdotal opinion, HPPD is not a real phenomenon.

I experienced lots of such sensory disturbances before trying psychedelics. E.g., I clearly remember myself seeing halos around my teacher in elementary school when playing to keep my eyes still (I was really bored) and when discussing such phenomenons with my peers they suddenly noticed them too (and reported not to have noticed them before).

I just think not a lot of people pay attention before trying psychedelics, and after the experience they notice those subtleties and link them to the substances.

Also: self-reported phenomenons such as HPPD are unrealiable. I noticed lots of people are willing (and looking forward to) experience HPPD.

Einstein's Nightmare
for bonus points support all the same PEEKs and POKEs and CALLs that Applesoft BASIC did on the II series. even if it's not strictly part of the BASIC itself, but the integration between it and the hardware/BIOS, it would be nice. technically might be required to correctly run lots of the BASIC programs from that era. I know most of my own relied on them for certain effects.
Seriously, the few times a month I need to crunch numbers I reach for my phone, then get frustrated and just use Google because my TI83's batteries have been dead for years. I don't know what it is but I haven't seen a touch calculator interface anywhere near as good as a standard graphing calculator for just banging out some computations.
It is interesting.

Can you talk more about context? How exactly does it help you?

I don't think:

c::a$"\n";b::0,1+c;d::(#c),|/-':b / (c)uts, (b)egins, (d)ims

is more clear than:

c::a$"\n";b::0,1+c;d::(#c),|/-':b

Or for that matter:

⚁::⚀$"\n";⚂::0,1+⚁;⚃::(#⚁),|/-':⚂

because they are just symbols to me, and one symbol is as good as another (except for the amount of space they take up on the screen and the ease in recognising it; I don't have many variables named lowercase L).
I think so. There's a gameboy emulator in there:

I guess it would be more applicable to the bike computer use case than a phone. But who knows.

"How can anything not be representable with bits?"

Because copyright law (at least in the U.S.) is bat-$#!+ crazy.

"Copyrights cover copying. If you write a novel that turns out to be word-for-word the same with Gone with the Wind and you can prove you never saw Gone with the Wind, that would be a defense to any accusation of copyright infringement." -- Software patents - Obstacles to software development, Richard Stallman

Metadata is not 'Colour' as the article describes it. Colour is "Who created the bits? Where did they come from? Where are they going? Are they copies of other bits?"

Let's use an example: an mp3 of The Eagles' song Journey of the Sorcerer. The Eagles created the song/are 'where the bits came from' (according to copyright law). This can be encoded in metadata. But metadata can be changed. The fact that The Eagles made the song cannot be changed, and thus cannot be reliably encoded into bits. [I think that's what the author is saying.]
Since the nature of overflow is basically completely undefined by the C standard the idea of detecting it with portable C code strikes me as an obvious oxymoron. You will have to sacrifice some kind of portability in order to detect it.
Thank you, that is indeed useful. I've been doing a kind of crappy and ad-hoc version of 1 and 3, although the latter (and recommendations in general) has been less useful than I thought, since the GPs I know aren't in a great position to evaluate orthopedic surgeons -- their experience is limited, and they also lack data; but also because I can get a strong rec from someone I trust to a surgeon that my insurance won't cover. But that's a whole nother topic.

Your systematicity in the search is inspiring, though. Thanks for the advice.
Rust is awesome, but coming from usual languages is... frustrating. You need to internalize that the compiler _really_ knows better what's safe and what isn't and it takes a while.
