I personally think @refurb asked exactly the right question (whether he's from the industry or not).

>The FDA is clearly catching these companies doing wrong, so why are they covering it up?

This deserves more research. Don't get distracted by "big pharma", ask why the FDA aren't doing anything about the wrong-doing they're uncovering.

Next question: Who is in charge of FDA funding? How can this be changed?

Yes, for now we assume that there is exactly one answer for each external call to the system: https://github.com/clarus/coq-chick-blog/blob/master/Spec.v#...

In practice, we should use a timeout in the implementation of all the external calls, but we did not and our model to not enforce it.
Linus Torvalds' poll about “big versions” in kernel releases
I have a similar problem with Chromecast and Youtube. My friends literally cannot understand why I would rather use the YouTube client built into the TV and control it with the TV remote, rather than cast to chromecast and control with my phone. Controlling the TV with my phone is cumbersome. It takes time to unlock it,to find the app, to send the command and have chromecast react. What if someone rings and I want to pause the video before answering the call? Doable,but more complex than it needs to be. What if I leave the room but someone else wants to pause, skip or whatever, but their phone is not connected to my chromecast? In comparison, TV remote is always in front of my TV. Using it is dead simple,doesn't require pairing,and it's instantaneous. It doesn't leave the room when I go to the kitchen, and I can use it while I am on my phone. I feel like controlling lights with your phone is a similar gimmick. It doesn't make it easier or faster - it's just gimmicky, that's all.
Having each light bulb intelligent seems like overkill, I can see a per circuit setup where you replace the light switch. First off its not going to go bad like a bulb which will be replaced eventually; even LEDs which still die too soon. Really, who came up with this light bulb idea...its just daft.

Security motion detectors can be used to double effect here as well, you would naturally have them facing doors so they could activate wireless or through signals across existing wires. All sorts of options.
You can call it research.

If it's done according to the scientific method, then it can be called scientific research.

If not, it's just research.

Casuality is exactly reverse here: people are not healthy because they drink, but they drink because they are healthy (and, of course, because they like alcohol). Once your health starts to break (with age and with every gram of alcohol drunk) doctor forbids you to drink, so you become abstinent.

By "system call", we do not mean "kernel call" but more "call to the system" in a broader sense, that is from the program to its environment (it could be the OS or other libraries). We should probably use another word since this is confusing.

I think the relevant execution unit for address calculation is always available at that point. Not sure without testing, of course.

I'm pretty sure the following replacement sequence for just that one instruction would be more expensive regardless:

shl 0x3, %r11 ; Multiply by 8
add %r12, %r11 ; Add (heap?) base address to r11
mov 0xc(%r11),%eax ; Indexed + displacement addressing mode
xor %r11, %r11 ; Make sure upper 32 bits are cleared for future r11 use

Last line (xor) is most likely not necessary, but might depend on how r11 is used in the future. If JVM assumes the upper bits to be always zero, it is needed.
The trouble is, alcohol is addictive, so the tendency; health benefits or otherwise is not to drink in moderation. The tendency is to drink more and more.

My new home came with "smart features", like heaters controlled by a smart central hub with remote sensors, remote light dimming etc.

Took more than 3 months to have all the annoying gadgets replaced by dependable, manual solutions.

For me this stuff is not even "nice to have". It's more like "dear god, why would I want an extra layer of complexity?". The fewer moving pieces, the better.

But then again, I'm a developer, so dependable simplicity is my modus operandi. Different people seek different things.

Clever (YC S12) is hiring full stack engineers; we actually refactor our code
At Clever, we’re building a distributed platform for educational software. Our API helps developers get their educational applications in front of millions of students, and it helps schools manage all their apps while keeping their students’ data secure - for free.

We’ve also experienced incredible growth: after only two years of existence, we’re moving data for 13 million students, and we’re in 1 in 5 schools in America (over 30,000 schools). We’ve just raised a $30M Series B, and we’re ready to expand even more rapidly.

Where you fit in:
We’re looking for full stack engineers: developers who are willing to work across the stack and have some kind of specialty, whether that’s product design, DevOps, databases, or system programming. Right now we’re a team of 47 people (20 engineers), and we work mostly in Node (Coffeescript), Go and Python.

Other stuff we like:

-Tech talks. Every other Tuesday, we do “Clever Talks” during lunch where one of us will give a presentation on anything he/she’s interested in. Recent talks have covered exoplanets, neuroscience, the history of hip-hop, hacking big-company customer service interactions, and what’s wrong with American high school history education.

-Bughouse chess. We play pretty frequently, although not always with Magnus Carlsen: http://screencast.com/t/xD7umWfo

-Picking up new skills. We offer unlimited Amazon credits for learning.

Check us out:
https://github.com/clever

At Clever, we want to work with the best people - applicants of all backgrounds and beliefs are welcome to come improve education with us. We're committed to making our office a safe and comfortable environment for all employees.
I believe the obvious point here is that when there are two or more semi- to relatively famous people who share the same name, it's generally better to put which one you're referring to in the title.

If it's not obvious who the other famous David Carr is, consider for a second that to someone who doesn't read the Times, it's the same situation. To me, there is an obvious age difference, which makes the title alright in the end.

By the way, equality before the law means that the same law applies to everyone equally, regardless of social standing, race, etc. It does not make anyone equal in any other sense. Equality before the law does not mean that the law should make everyone equally good at hearing, doing math, playing basketball, dating, or anything else. Human beings are inherently unequal in every other sense but the law, and this is a fundamental fact of existence that can never be eliminated! Examples: none of us will ever have the exact same genetic makeup as any other (and it is monstrous to attempt to force people to attempt to do this). Nor will any of us have the exact same opportunities as any other (a man that lives in Kansas can't also live in Idaho at the same time; the people he meets and interacts with are determined in part by geography!)

Coq itself is already a programming language, but pure in the sense there cannot be any side effects (like IOs). For this pure part there are already an interpreter and a compiler to OCaml, Haskell or Scheme.

> It's also easy to oversell (to yourself) the value of a room having a movie mode. Most smart home features are 'nice to have', not worth a lot of messing around and cash.

My girlfriend used to occasionally watch a show about house-buying (House Hunters). In general the show wasn't terribly interesting, but the real estate agents featured sometimes had some interesting tips.

One of those tips was to carefully consider not just how you will use a feature of a house (like a pool, or guest bedroom), but how often you will use it. Apparently people spring for expensive extras like pools and outdoor living spaces because they imagine how great it will be to have family and friends over for picnics, etc. But then they do it once, and never again because it is a huge inconvenience. Same goes for "mother-in-law suites" and spare bedrooms. People tell themselves it will be wonderful to have family stay with them, but the family members only visit once a year (if that), so a hotel is actually more economical (or just have someone sleep on the couch).

I tend to think of "smart house" features in this way. Every once in awhile I would appreciate having my living space adapt to my needs or respond to remote commands, but 99.99% of the time, it just doesn't matter. The light switch is right next to the door, I can stand up to close the shades, and thermostats have been programmable for decades now.

Eventually we'll probably come up with something that works even better (just like the programmable thermostats were a strict improvement upon their predecessors). But things like converting the light switch to an "app" or controlling the AC with a rudimentary geo-fence aren't it.
The Steam PC download for FFVII is 1.2GB so I assume that Square Enix would have had enough space to develop it for iOS before now if they were planning on. The actual game size is around 1508MB.
There's nothing "C99" about that ARRAY_SIZE macro, of course.

That said, I'm rather sceptical towards it, I think it's better written as-is.

Otherwise, the question "does SIZE mean bytes, or number of elements?" always arises to haunt me. Once you need to keep looking stuff like that up, the macro isn't helping.

In actual code, the name of the array never needs to be enclosed in parentheses so it's often clearer too. E.g. something like:

int fourk[4096];

for(size_t i = 0; i < sizeof fourk / sizeof *fourk; ++i)
...

I realize that it's not 100% DRY to repeat the array name, but I think it's a small price to pay for not having to use a non-standard macro that requires learning. It's all about friction.
I wonder how good that list is. The oldest danish company it lists is Munke Mølle from 1135 but it have actually only been a private company since 1881, before that it belonged to the state and earlier it belonged to the catholic church so I am wondering if the rest of the list is just as faulty.
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess. - Oscar Wilde

I apply a simple approach:

1/ State the objectives you want to achieve. They should be measurable e.g. % increase in signups, emails collected, etc.

2/ As @noelwesh mentions, create a checklist

3/ Measure the impact of each action in the checklist

4/ At the end of a 'campaign', evaluate what worked, what didn't, how to improve things, how to learn further.

5/ Iterate.
I'm a little confused by the usage of the word "jailbreak" in this article. Neat proof of concept, though!

That's great news actually, and I hope scientist will keep studying this topic. We need less drinkers, not more, even if the dosage is moderate.
Cool tech, but I'm a bit sad that I can't watch Shumway[1] using Shumway.

The Java code ends up being different in subtle ways. Exemplified by this:

static int x[] = new int[1];

public static void main1(String[] args) {
x[1] = grow() ? 10 : 20; //array index out of bounds!
}

public static void main2(String[] args) {
if (grow()) {
x[1] = 10;
} else {
x[1] = 20;
}
//no exceptions thrown
}

private static boolean grow() {
x = new int[2];
return true;
}

Thanks for your hard work!

What's the easiest way to test shumway on arbitrary files? I'm running the latest nightly, but the amazon videos still use flash (tested by checking the right click menu). I've tried the extension in the past, but it never seemed to do anything.

Also, it would be nice if there was, say, a table of common flash APIs coloured by implementation status, for easy tracking of shumway completeness.

Funny ambiguous title. Until I've opened the article I thought that light somehow helps to moderate drinking. I haven't thought about it before but it could make some sense too, considering that most of us drink at night when it's darker.
Why do we need fewer drinkers?
At the very least they could have separated the intelligence and the bulb so the bulb could be replaced independently. But yes the intelligence should really go in the circuit.

Why? Because you don't like it?

I'd say the fact that humans metabolize alcohol (have evolved it) it's a pretty good hint that there was an evolutionary pressure selecting for it.

I'd also hope for more study, but it's not like moderate uses of alcohol are significantly bad (as opposed to a high consumption, of course)
Yeah, I got the two mixed up. SNI doesn't mean multiple hostnames on a cert. It means multiple certs on the same IP.

However, due to high costs behind getting IP addresses, CloudFlare does use SNI for its free tier. Its paid customers on the other hand get their own IP per hostname.

Medical devices are not drugs. They do not follow the same regulations. And in Europe the medical device registration can be very fast depending on the type of medical device (they have standard classifications for fast review, and some are self-certification type of registration).

You should never make a parallel between medical devices and drugs because those are just two very different markets. And unless you have a better source for your first point, I stand by my position that the US gets most of the approval first, worldwide. And most of the large pharma industries are American.
There are house-integrated things that are cool, but they rarely require integration. CO2 and humidity-controlled ventilation is really nice, as is whole-house sound systems. But why should they be connected to each other?

Maybe if you used some machine learning algorithms and made the house actually intelligent, so it could anticipate what you wanted. Other than that I don't really see the use.

The total peak profit of HFT companies is usually estimated a bit north of 5 billion Dollar in 2009. After that it fell to about 1 billion Dollar per year as far as I can tell. For me 5 billion Dollar or even only 1 billion Dollar per year seems quite a lot for not producing a single salable good and service. The 2009 profit was the equivalent of 175,000 average yearly US incomes, i.e. 175,000 people worked somewhere on factory floors to produce the profits for HFT companies.
Ouch, don't use GIF clips if the quality is so horrible.
that being said, the intelligent light bulb approach has its advantages:

I can take a handful of lightbulbs with me to other room/apartment in a heartbeat. And the problem of getting dimmable LEDs out of an AC source is not easy, you are going to end with electronics in each led bulb anyways.
I was, in fact, slightly mocking both the argument and the related argument that people who use sloppy language like to bring out in favor of using words to mean whatever they like. I certainly agree that words with precise meanings are important to use correctly.
It really depends on how you consume your headlines. "David Carr dead at 58" is, in my opinion, less informative that "David Carr, acclaimed NY Times journalist, dead at 58."
Most people who drink problem do mot have any addiction to alcohol. That includes many of the people with increased risk drinking. ("Increased risk" is an English health thing. It includes men who drink more than about 21 to 28 units per week but less than 50 units per week; and women who drink more than about 14 to 21 units per week but less than 50 units per week. Four bottles of wine (with an ABV of 13%) would be 39 units.)

I'm not sure that the tendency is for people to increase their alcohol level over time. (Apart from the obvious increase after they start drinking at about 18).
