Thanks, I was starting to get a bit depressing seeing the stats on the website. In fact, I was shocked to find OCaml so far off from Clojure.

I think the adoption problem for OCaml is compounded because it suffers from lack of stackoverflow hits for any given errors that you might encounter or any given queries you might have. Searching for something as mundane as "how to read large files in OCaml" leads to just a single hit (Streams at OCaml.org) [0].

Also, OCaml needs a "recipe/patterns" book-- on how-to get some of the things done the right way in OCaml.

[0] BTW, a big fan of your work.
I can relate to your pain. I came back to hardcore Scala, 2 years after a very quick introduction to functional programming. But, in the end, every seconds of head banging was absolutely worth it. Once you step into The Immutable Functional World, it will change the way you design software and there is no coming back :)

This donation occurred back in 2011, when it was still very unclear whether familial relations were important. We now know that there don't appear to be any additional risks for unrelated donations.

> This has been found to work for weight loss; you give a normal-weight donor's microbiome to an overweight person, and they lose weight a significant fraction of the time.

Do you have cite for this? I think there is some circumstantial evidence on this, but it's far from settled.
It mostly started happening after Mailbox's waitlist of hundreds of thousands and subsequent buyout from Dropbox during the wait list period.

I saw this article this morning and it made me raise my eyebrows: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-league-app-has-a-75000-pe...

A waitlist isn't inherently impossible for startups; I'd expect a few hundred at most, but 75,000?

Because they're used as a treatment for obesity, based on a model of "they'll become more like the donor".
Back when I was going through cancer, my weight dropped to around 130 pounds on a 6'4", large build frame. Obviously, I looked like Death himself and I was seriously underweight. However, even when I got back up to my normal 210 pounds and I still looked a bit too skinny, the chart showed me as being "overweight" at a BMI of 26.

So I'd take that "overweight" indicator with a grain of salt. If this woman is on the tall side or has broad shoulders and hips, that BMI of 26 could mean she appears athletic or even skinny, and she can certainly be healthy with that misleading number.
Unfulfilled promises since 2001.
You would think. But every time someone mentions here in HN about how USA slavery was bad there are always people coming out and saying that other countries used to do it too and imply that since others did it it was OK if the US did it. Horrible thinking of course but there you have it.

I have a nagging feeling that that represents the feelings of a sizable chunk of the white USA population. Hope I'm wrong.
looks cool, but why not use docker instead?
Keep in mind that you're probably mostly reading stuff that's designed to appeal to upper-middle class left-leaning people, about how many people in prison are oppressed, have so much potential, are caught up in an unfair system that's hard to escape, are subject to institutionalized discrimination, etc. There's no doubt that people like that exist, and are probably even a disturbingly high percentage of the overall number of people imprisoned.

On the other hand, there are also people in prison who actually are dangerous criminals, and really need to be locked away from the general population. That is what we created it for in the first place, and why every society has some sort of prison. But nobody writes stories about those types of people, at least not in "intellectual" sites and magazines. When was the last time you read a story about a truly dangerous criminal and what their experience in the legal system has been?
Don't spread grammatical urban legends. "Who" and "whom" are both perfectly correct here, and I dare you to find a reliable source that says "who" isn't allowed.

Reader's Digest, your grade-school teacher, and anything written before lingustics was a science do not count as reliable sources for this purpose.

It doesn't matter if that idea is disproven; moral shaming has seemingly unlimited appeal.
No. The rules come from different languages, but once the word is considered an English word, only the orthography matters. If you make a new word by combining skip and hop into "skiphop", someone may mistakenly pronounce it [ski-fope] rather than [skip-hop], despite the fact that neither "ski" nor "phop" are identifiable as Greek roots, because phi makes an 'f' sound, and that makes the subsequent 'o' vowel pronounced as the 'o' in 'phobia'.

Knowing the etymology helps, but is not necessary. When linguistic researchers create nonce words for their experiments--words with no etymology at all, like "gluff" or "splim"--they find that people still generally pronounce them in the same ways.

They also find that people impute meanings to the nonce based on structures found in the word. For instance, when given the nonce words "plorkish" and "erildophate", and told that they are synonyms, subjects may claim that the latter is more sophisticated or scientifically precise. Or perhaps they are told to match the word to the person who spoke it, and a significant fraction of subjects match the words to the pictures the same way.

You can do the test yourself. Print out photos of Bill Nye and Kanye West. Write out "plorkish" and "erildophate" on index cards. Tell people the words are synonyms, and ask them to match the word to the photo of the person who said it. If they don't swing at least 60% in favor of West=plorkish and Nye=erildophate, and pronounce the words the same way, I will eat a tiny portion of my least favorite hat.

I claim bonus points if they also use them in a sentence or identify the part of speech as adjectives. Perhaps ask your subjects to also guess the sentence their chosen person spoke when using the word.

People do actually get paid to test this. This might be a good Science Fair project, actually.

Maybe I missed something but it seems blantantly obvious. In the US he has to pay for health insurance PLUS $720 a month for drugs he needs. In the UK this is provided at almost no cost to the patient through taxes. No health insurance and no huge drug cost.
The reason I don't think we're in a bubble is because people are either paying money for these things, or advertisers value their inventory enough to continue buying where the users are.

Wasn't the primary issue with the last bubble that there was often no revenue behind the idea? There is revenue here.
Oh, the banality of life! Whining about that goes back to at least Socrates.

The new thing is that everyone in even the semi-developed world now has access to more banal entertainment than they can possibly consume. Prior to TV, most people were limited in entertainment consumption by money and location. With broadcast TV, something was on all the time, but choice was limited. Now, there's a wide range of banal content, more than any person can consume, available at all times at low, low cost.

Restoring the Old Way of Warming: Heating People, Not Places
Vox did something a while back that's more along those lines.[1]

The cost of care in the US is much higher than in other countries. There are a bunch of reasons for this, and everyone has their preferred scapegoats and solutions, but the end result is that healthcare prices in the US are astronomically higher than in other countries. So it's often cheaper to just go somewhere else and buy the care you need there at a fraction of the cost.

> Everyone I have ever known or seen that goes on one of those bootcamp style exercise programs loses dramatic weight. Every single person.

I'm assuming you mean TV show. I doubt you know a great many people that go on an "exercise style bootcamp" personally...

> Everyone I have ever known or seen that went to actual bootcamp loses dramatic weight too, whether be army or marines.

Indeed because in basic training you don't get to pick your own meals and you're also limited to a set number of meals a day. Anyone would lose weight if someone else was controlling exactly what they could eat.

> here's something about working your ass off everyday for an hour with resistance and cardio that works.

Also the fact you think exercise contributes to significant weight loss (as opposed to diet changes, which do) suggest that you may not be very well informed in general.

An hour of cardio is one Big Mac worth of calories. It is insignificant.
Uh, is there a version that isn't behind a paywall?
Based on blog posts that show up, based on Google results that show when you try to find tutorials on how to get certain things done (in a production environment, that is).

Also, another thing that's peculiar with OCaml is that a lot of libraries are LGPL 3+ which makes it that much harder for corporates to adopt. And sometimes, alternatives to certain libraries are either hard to find, or are not actively maintained. It could also be that, I have been looking in all the wrong places.
I disagree about the speakers but agree with everything else. I will not buy a "SmartTV", give me a A/V interface, that's all I want.

Peter Molyneux. He was a great game designer in the 1990s at Bullfrog. I mean Populous, Syndicate, Theme Park, Magic Carpet, Dungeon Keeper (to a lesser extend also Black & White and Fable) were great games.

He is really good at PR, he always promises a lot and he almost never delivers (game functionality, not about the article). He has a bad reputation IMHO at least since Black & White 1 in 2001, his earlier games were great! Though he is a charming guy and get away with it. The article is rubbish, just like Molyneux latest 22Cans's "Godus" god game.
Protecting your data on the cloud–and everywhere else
I think this story is more about how hype on the Internet works more than anything else. When I first saw the Curiosity announcement, and then spent 20 minutes (not much more) playing the game, I was really intrigued by just what was happening. For it to have fizzled and turned into your typical Molyneux-bashfest, replete with corporate liability clauses and non-delivery of products, well .. its more like the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Of course, a lot of us have gotten to the point where the hype around Molyneux is itself enough entertainment. I was there in the Black&White days, which I considered to be a really interesting concept, but as is so often the case these days, the Creator of that Universe got bored, and moved on. Maybe thats the real lesson here ..
My next anything won't be a Samsung, now.
Almost nothing you said is correct aside from your basic description of the procedure.

Weight loss is rarely the primary goal of FMT and its efficacy in that realm remains unproven. Nowhere did the article imply that any of the things that made you "cringe" are necessary. And oral administration isn't objectively better than the alternatives, nor is it always an option since many people understandably find the idea of swallowing a "poop pill" rather repulsive.

I studied in the US for a bit, inspite of the university having a decentish setup for medication. I preferred getting treated by local doctors in my home country. Studying about the healthcare system in the US makes me sad. It shouldn't be so painful and expensive
A majority of prison inmates are incarcerated either for violent crimes or property crimes. The statistics in IL showed (last time I checked) a plurality of inmates convicted of domestic violence. Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and the Netherlands have a fraction of the inmates the US does, but they also have a fraction of the crime.

There are a lot of reasons for that, and discussing them is a politically volatile rabbithole of a discussion to start. But we should at least begin by understanding the right premise. We can and should reduce sentences, particularly for low-level property crimes. But if we did most everything in our penal system "right", we'd still have integer multiples of Scandinavia's incarceration share of population.

Of course, that's not really what's interesting, since most people care about keeping the weight off for an extended period of time, and not whether they can yo-yo back and forth between heavy and less-heavy.
He also states:

>There are other people, type B, who believe there are no meaningful things in life.

Which isn't what I am saying. There are many meaningful things in my life. I'm not saying that meaning doesn't exist, I am saying that meaning is personal and that there is no universal meaning.
My ex husband was career military. When he was on recruiting duty, every single year they had some annual conference. Every single year, there were insurance reps there or something. Everyone in the office would get told they were "overweight" according to the (civilian) insurance reps height and weight charts. All of these people had to a) pass their PT test and b) meet weight. In the military, if your weight is too high for the chart, they tape-test you to check if you are actually fat or not. Bodybuilders in the military often cannot meet the weight requirement, but they pass the tape-test with flying colors.

tldr: have an upvote for agreement.
Can you cite credible statistics? Even among drug reformers, the current narrative seems to be that drug enforcement's impact on the prison population is overblown (which is important for legalization advocates --- myself included --- to acknowledge, lest the argument for legalization be upended simply by citation to statistics contradicting it).
> Your body is immensely complex, can rid itself of toxins, pathogens, and other invaders ... but is not able to discard excess calories it doesn't need? To the point of making you sick and immobile? That makes sense to you? That our body doesn't have a regulation mechanism?

Umm.... You are aware that this state of a ton of food being very easy to procure is a recent development right? For a vast majority of the body's evolution food as very rare which resulted in being able to conserve energy optimally being ideal. Evolution is a sum of the entire species past, why are you thinking it makes sense for the body to self regulate its self to a six pack?
America is special in that it is large enough to use their own standard.

It is the reason why the EU can create their own standards that nobody else follows. Like Rohs, the reason your electronics fail at a higher rate than previous electronics. Smaller economies suffer when they can't use/make their neighbors goods.

The North America a huge economy. We can efficiently have our own standard.

Uk and France aren't big enough to dictate their own paper size.
Or to trot out the concise summary, a buffer of "kind of know" helps you know what you don't know. Which can be pretty darn useful.
I have no idea what TDEE is, I assume you mean BMR[0]. Also your post is highly confusing, your first sentence suggests you have evidence that it is all about self control (none provided) but then you say "more specifically" you're talking about BMR/TDEE which is a calculation of your total calorie burn for the day and has nothing to do with the mental elements of obesity/weight gain.

Disclaimer: I went through college and currently teach part time. I wish something like github was around when I was in college - I only got into self-hosted SVN repos near my senior years. As a professor - I believe in transparency when it comes to my classes.

tl;dr; What should have happened is that UofI should have worked with github to turn those repos into (free) private ones. That way the content is removed from the public and search indexes and the students can still use/review the material they created in the class later on if they want to.

I have only taught 3 classes/2 subjects - object oriented (heavy programming), and operating systems (light usage). I run my own source code hosting service and will pre-provision private repos for them (for free obviously). I also encourage them to get private repos from github (you can get it for free if you need it for a class) if they don't like mine (I am not one of those teachers who force them to use their book or service - students are free to use whatever resource they want....just maybe not CVS or RCS...).

I strongly recommend private because obviously I don't want other students to copy their work (but I do encourage collaboration for homework). However, most of my assignments are pretty open-ended to the point where I would notice obvious plagiarism. A few students have created public git repos because they aren't familiar with github or even git - which I am perfectly fine with. I would rather change my assignments than force a student to take down their git repo (which I should probably do anyways). The last thing that I would want is for a student to have a negative association with using source code hosting services like github.

Some comments suggest that the university may claim ownership over the code - which may be BS depending on how the code was acquired. The university may have paid some guy off the street to write this code and the university hired a professor and said "you will use this code to teach your class". If this was the case - then I could be ok with this takedown. If a professor wrote it in their spare time for the class and the university is trying to claim ownership - then I have a problem with it.

This does make me wonder - how many students requested private repos for their classes and shoved the code there? They won't have their code taken down obviously - so the only people who are punished are those trying to learn and understand the class and git/github.
Of course the body has a regulation mechanism related to energy intake and usage. However, that doesn't mean that mechanism can't be overwhelmed or made to work in non-optimal ways.

Yes, your body can purge itself of toxins. But despite this, intake toxins faster than your body can purge itself of them, those toxins will still cause damage. Why should this not apply to the body's energy regulation mechanisms as well?
