No. Just, no. Speaking from my own experience, and that of my friends, marijuana can make you a shittier driver. I very much doubt the current scientific consensus is that marijuana in general makes you a better driver. It is possible that there are some strains with a certain cannabinoid ratio that has a minimal impact (like low in THC), but there are other strains that have a major impact.

Not parent, but I have three kids and started out with thoughts like you.

The truth is closer to the opposite direction. Parent,partner, neighbor nagging is the same as getting to the gym. You really didn't want to bother with it, but after you worked out it's the best decision you could have ever made.

I have had a number of great professional breakthroughs and nothing comes close to the sense of accomplishment of raising children.

I think the closest you get to tapping into those emotions outside of children is hearing that your father is dying. Picture that and ask yourself would you prefer $20k a year and a decade of Saturdays off as a trade?

Suffice it to say that no, that's not the reason.

The reason is entirely high-card strength vs all the hands including cards less than 7, like 65, 64, etc.

EDIT: And the value of pairing the 7 vs pairing the 3, again where high card strength matters--6X pairing the 6 won't matter as often.

Given there's only two hands, they are somewhat likely to showdown unimproved, not making a pair or better. If you analyzed ten handed tables, 2-7 fares the worst.

No, sellers that refer to themselves as crafters are actually saying exactly the opposite. This business model that allows manufacturing is unfair to them because they can't compete, essentially. The same way crafters can't compete with manufacturing on any other marketplace. And they are disappointed because Etsy has originally promised to be different.

And their problem is not only price competition from chinese trinket sellers, but also visibility. Because manufacturers have many more products, small sellers don't show up in search results any more.

I'm pretty sure there's data of the translation from marijuana users->hard drugs users.

It's super hard to control for endogeneity of those variables though, which would cast significant doubt on a causal interpretation of what's going on. The fact that marijuana is currently illegal means that there is an associative bias for dealers - they have access to/hang out with harder drugs/more dangerous dealers.

I've had a few bosses/CEOs who said they loved open space and forced it on everyone. What always ended up happening is that said CEO/boss would then informally requisition the shared conference/meeting room as their own personal office

Well, there's another possible alternative: they love microing their team and an open space makes it really easy to poke their nose into the day-to-day lives of their engineers.

Fun!

I have a private office now, and I'd put it in the top 3 of the best things about my job. I have a hard time imagining going back to open space without losing most of my sanity and productivity.

The company I work for has three major offices, and the one I work in is the only one with dedicated two person offices for the engineering staff (not due to policy so much as practical matters of space availability and cost). When I have to travel and work on-site at the other offices I rapidly find myself searching for any way to block out the noise and nuisance as my concentration is continually broken.

themgt posted the following on the currently trending React thread, sharing what appears to be Flux's impending sunset:

One of the things I didn't realize at first was the degree to which Relay/GraphQL appear to effectively replace a lot of Flux: http://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/02/20/introducing-...

Learning Flux sort of seems like learning how to drive stick shift on an '97 Civic while we wait for the new Tesla to arrive - useful, also a bit annoying. A central store architecture does seem a better match to what Relay will look like though.

You are responding to a post with a link to research by countering with
anecdotal evidence. The parent also never said that "the current scientific consensus is that marijuana in general makes you a better driver". That's a total distortion of the comment was saying.

I, for one, think we should be open to actually studying the topic instead of baselessly and unscientifically concluding that driving under the influence of marijuana is equally as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.
A URL is an identifier for a resource. Everyone now has the same URL (identifier) for their shopping cart. If you're goal is to use HTTP effectively, this is bad. For example, it breaks HTTP caching. In effect, you have a variant of the RPC pattern that you say you're trying to avoid.

Yes, but rightly or wrongly, the published reasons are broad so as to minimize exposure to lawsuits. Meaning that if they had to be specific, they would have less ability to fire people arbitrarily. They would have to have detailed records on why someone was not up to par, rather than the nebulous, reasons which are in common use these days and pass muster. Many times people are singled out retroactively, ie., in retaliation, or simply not being of same mind with new management or philosophy, irrespective of performance.
Are you considering revamping the UI to match with Material Design soon? Also It might be worth while adding a onboarding experience before the user is set up in the app. This would allow you to explain the buttons at the bottom better (speaking of which it might be better to use two different icons, like change the one on the right to a "reply arrow" or something like forwarding so the user knows that the button means they will re-ask the question).
That's certainly an issue, and there's no easy way around the fact that even formally specifying the behavior of a program that has to interact with the outside world is problematic.

Nonetheless, some of the academic research that has been done on formal verification is quite impressive (including the development of actual nontrivial working software). And it can be done piecemeal -- you could formally certify the functional parts of a crypto library (and demand this standard of future replacements) independently of what goes on in the world of file system drivers.

Realistically speaking, as worse is better, I think a large push for formally verified software probably won't happen for decades to come, but it will happen eventually. It already happened in parts of the hardware industry (Intel certainly don't want the division bug to happen ever again). The main issue is that we need tools that make development easier, to allow keeping up with the rapidly changing requirements in the software world.
It's more complex than that. The floor an object sit's on is also attracted to the moon so you would need to look at the difference in attraction over the size of the device.

However, the earths crust deforms a few cm due to tidal forces. Which weekens local gravity. Aparently you can measure tides in a trees sap so detecting them on a small scale is probably possible. (My google fo is failing to find that one though.)

If it's true, it would be even more awesome than it sounds. It would be the biggest breakthrough in physics in 100 years. I'll give you long odds against it turning out to be true, but I won't bet my entire life savings on it.

[EDIT] I have now read the paper and I'm ready to bet my life savings that it's bogus. There's just nothing new here, just a hand-wavy argument that classical mechanics can violate the Bell inequalities because "lines of force." It's possible that QM will be overturned some day, but when it happens it won't look like this.
Not sure how the product is, just requested an invite. But gamifying development does sound interesting. Although I would be interested in knowing how much does it effect the team spirit and does it encourage individual contributors over team players.

The method you are using for comparison is commonly simdized and used for string matching.

Note also that intel/AMD SSE4+ has a 32 bit/64 bit popcnt instruction with 3 cycle latency/1 cycle throughput (for both 32 bit and 64 bit version), and so is faster for counting bits/matches than any of the methods you are using :)

2) college provide more amenities now. eg having to hire entire IT departments
3) Engaged in arms race to protect its rankings

Scott Aaronson has commented negatively on a previous paper by the same authors [1]. I don't know if similar issues apply to this one:

> [...] the paper advances the prediction that quantum computation will never be possible with more than 3 or 4 qubits. [...] I wonder: before uploading their paper, did the authors check whether their prediction was, y’know, already falsified? How do they reconcile their proposal with (for example) the 8-qubit entanglement observed by Haffner et al. with trapped ions [...]

(Note: that's a critique of the previous paper, not the linked one. Although the linked post mentions quantum computers not working, the linked paper does not touch the subjet.)

It is a nutshell version of what I said here:
http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-gray-zon...

That piece made the front page, so I suspect some folks here have context as to what I mean: That women have trouble getting men to engage them in a meaty way. Many men err on the side of caution, as I stated above. Heterosexual men have a tendency to engage women only superficially, unless they are looking for a romantic relationship. No, not all men do that. But a high percentage seem to and it's problematic.

I regret that it was probably not the best way to express it, but I'm not sure there is a good way to say it in brief.
I'm curious to find out, from the OP or anyone else, what you get from hearing about other people's routines.

I listened to a few episodes of the Tim Ferris podcast and was perplexed at how insipid it was. I don't care what Tony Robbin's, or anyone else's, morning routine looks like. Or what "productivity hacks" people have, which usually amount to just sitting down and doing what needs to get done. And then there were the questions from listeners episodes with more tedious questions about personal routines. I would love for someone to answer personal productivity questions by saying "quit asking how other people are productive and go do something productive".

I just don't get it, but would like to know why it interests others so much.

Your logic on Apple makes sense and thank you for that.
They claim to have found a classical system that reproduces quantum mechanical effects. But if they manage to extend it to many particles, interacting, they will find that they have just come up with another interpretation of QM which is experimentally indistinguishable from the rest. And it wouldn't even be the first one. (Bohm's hidden variable theory has precedence.)

Furthermore the "incompressible fluid" they postulate sounds like it enables non-local behavior (which it has to to match current versions of the Bell test) so it is unable to help resolve the issue of reconciling GM with QM.

So this does rather less than they claim. Assuming that their claimed result is correct.
AFAIK, Canada's "flash payments" use incompatible physical-layer standards. To make it work, you'd need a phone with two NFC radios in it.

The point I'm trying to make is that the crafter philosophy, on which Etsy is built, is non-sensical. Etsy's old rules keep crafters poor, because they can't harness economies of scale. The new rules put new entrants at a disadvantage. At some point Etsy's policy what that you could outsource work if you worked in the same location (IIRC) which biases the market against third world artisans. Morocco, for instance, is full of people creating beautiful goods in small workshops. Under these rules they couldn't have a US representative sell their goods.

The only way I could interpret Etsy's rules was as an elaborate code for "people like us" -- affluent, middle class, first world residents.
What kind of performance do you see when searching over, say, 10TB/day or two of captured data? It seems like the query would have to open a file for every minute? Have you considered a higher level index, to tell which minute files are worth inspecting? (I realize this only helps when searching for more unique characteristics.)

Is LevelDB the best choice out there for write once KV pairs? For, say, IP address indexing, what's the final bits/packet overhead of indexing?

I didn't see any compression for the packet data. Did you consider high perf compression like LZ4?

Is AF_PACKET better than PF_RING+DNA? It's been a while since I looked but with hardware accel they boasted massive perf advantages.

Excellent design docs and cool work!
> or need to be looked at with the problem in mind.

The article addresses how hard some of the bugs were (they were not hard), but additionally, sometimes (often?) code needs to be looked at without the problem in mind -- who hasn't written code (or a paper, or comment on HN) and proofed it immediately, committed it, and realized it has an error that your mind elided over because you were so sure "what you meant" was there that you glossed over a dumb error. Having a different mind review these things avoids that problem.

Edit: I glossed over this -- I was also referring to proofing your work much later, so it's not still fresh in your mind "as you think it is". So, bring a "different mind" to the table.

All the complaints about open office plans for software development are valid. However, having worked at many places that have both open and closed office spaces, I've found that the closed office spaces promote knowledge siloing, creating a lot of power for people who have had more time (to make a mess) in the code.

There's a right way and a wrong way to do open office planning. One of the basics is, why do you need 40 people to ship your product? Are you sending rockets to mars? Creating a LHC? Open plans start and end with a half a dozen people. Beyond that size, they need their own room.
These are all excellent points that resonate strongly with my experiences with React. Thanks for the article.
