Neutral in my experience - I find sleep deprivation is far, far, far more damaging to my ability to think clearly.

If I code while stoned, I find I take longer, but come up with ideas I may not have otherwise considered - and I take way more notes and actually document my code, due to the whole memory thing - which is only while you're stoned, rather than permanent.

I mean, if you inject most of the LD50 of THC into your blood stream every few hours from infancy to adulthood, you're going to have some significant neurological problems - just like the lab rats used in the study I think you're referencing.

It's sad to think that the NN researchers will overreach and suppress other research approaches now that they are having a (well deserved) victory lap in the popular press. This is the typical pattern in academia, however. What is a good antidote for this? Although I work in another field, I've definitely felt the sting of a bad review for work that didn't conform to the fashions of the day. It is very unjust. Hopefully Hinton and his celebrated cohort will show restraint and give the GOFAI community a break when they are down. I wouldn't be surprised to see that NN(deep learning) will encounter barriers to progress in the future and a variation on GOFAI will prove to be the way forward..
Doing the queue/first-come-first-serve thing only makes sense if you expect the number of people arriving at exactly the starting moment to be less than your supply of tickets. Otherwise what you have is a ticket lottery, except that the "randomization" is being done by ping times rather than anything explicit. If they can't expand the ticket supply by enough to meet demand, then they should probably make an explicit ticket lottery.
It's not really the "born" part that's important.

I took a look through it, and it seems woefully inadequate for batching "get" requests together. Say I want to get 90 disparate items, shouldn't I be able to batch those into one or two requests? On the server, I may have some cache in the script so I don't have to re-request the same items 90 times.

For example I want to get 40 rooms, and for 20 of them, I want to get up to 20 participants in the rooms. My JS code shouldn't have to care about the batching. It should just send out batched requests, and the callbacks should be called.

On the client side, we have this: http://platform.qbix.com/guide/patterns -- see Q.batcher.factory

But on the server side, we've had to implement our own format to get that implemented.

A bit off-topic, but I'd like to know what HN thinks about a short domain I've chosen for an upcoming product.

I'm building a platform which lets people create and host simple apps. It's kind of a collaborative app development thing, so you build on what's already there and let others use what you've made. The project is called "Fora", and I bought the domain www.4ah.org. I like the brevity, but does it look like a silly hack?

Thanks in advance.

ADD: Thanks slayed0, ptaipale, urda, rl3 and staticfish. I think I should look for a new domain name. @mtmail thanks for thisisfora.com.
I feel like you just didn't like their completely valid response and then went after them for it. They provide a service. You might think their service should cover some feature but the reality is that they don't. You could have probably told them what you need in a nice way and waited to see whether they would support it. The way it went down, you lost them as a provider and they lost you as a customer, so what was gained?

The Future Is Ours – Robots Take Over (Frank Sonder)
You're correct, schedule I is "high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use and unsafe to use even under medical supervision".

Schedule III would be "less potential for abuse than I and II, accepted medical use, abuse may lead to high psychological dependence or low to moderate physical dependence"

(Schedule II is for high abuse potential and severe physical or psychological dependence drugs which nonetheless have accepted medical use e.g. cocaine, amphetamines, morphine).

A problematic side effect of I is that being allowed to study them is extremely difficult, so getting enough data to move a drug from schedule I to schedule II is near-impossible.

Deep Learning Is About to Go Mainstream

No corrections necessary, you're right on the money.

This is a 20% project. While it's one we plan to use internally, it's not a "supported" Google product. It's just another open-source project along with the many others we use to keep our networks secure.

Also, it's designed specifically to do one thing (packet history) and do it well. In no way is it a complete solution; this is a building block for network detection and response.

To reiterate some of the salient points:

1) Disk is REALLY cheap these days.

2) NIDS don't store lots of history, because they're optimized for detecting patterns and signatures. So they might find something in the middle of a TCP stream and send an alert, but you don't have much context around it. This allows you to build that context by requesting all packets from that stream during a (possibly very long) time range.

3) There's a ton of reasons why this isn't used to monitor users:

* it's wrong: I'd flat-out refuse to build something designed to monitor users

* it wouldn't work #1: most interesting user traffic is encrypted on the wire

* it wouldn't work #2: our production network architecture is not good at single aggregation points

* it wouldn't work #3: there aren't enough disks in the world to handle our production network load

* it's redundant: applications can already do per-application, structured monitoring as necessary for debugging/auditing/etc.

The microservice architecture results in a larger footprint than you might find with a more monolithic app stack; which provides us with improved engineering velocity and reliability. Although the content playback is served by our CDN, all other device interactions are handled by the services on AWS. We also have some blogposts which provide a glimpse into some of the work we do behind the scenes (http://techblog.netflix.com/2015/01/netflixs-viewing-data-ho...). Oh yeah, we also encode and run our big data services on AWS...
The problem isn't necessarily that they are in the same league, for the same reasons.

Oil companies don't like electric cars for obvious reasons.

Car companies on the other hand have a different reasons: electric cars hardly require maintenance, and a large part of the money car companies make is by selling replacement parts. Car makers were perfectly happy with the current situation, and the new-one threatens part of their business model, and nobody likes to switch from a working proven business model to a new-one.

However, the difference between car companies and the oil industry is that the latter cannot adapt to this new situation. Car makers could just postpone introducing pure electric cars, or introduce even more complex 'hybrid' solutions under the pretense of being environmentally-friendly, while selling even more replacement parts and maintenance - which in my opinion was always silly.

They could hold the boat off as long as nobody else tried to make a real production-ready electric car. So it's no surprise that it was a new-comer to the market that made it first. Suddenly, a lot of car manufacturers jumped the electric train: Renault, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, ... You really think none of them thought of making an electric car before? GM did, just check out the "who killed the electric car" documentary. I don't believe for a second not every single car maker saw what was inevitably coming, but why kill the goose that lays golden eggs? It would be really hard to explain that to shareholders at a time when the industry is going through a very harsh period.

Eventually, we need to move towards formally verified software. Some bugs slip past any number of human eyeballs. It won't be feasible to do formal verification of all software anytime soon, but it should be done for operating system kernels, networking and crypto libraries, virtual machines, compilers, and similar security-critical software.

Switching to programming languages with type systems powerful enough to protect against common classes of bugs is a good first step (but not enough).

I was right there with you. I only watched 20-30 minutes of the show, but made the authoritative pronouncement to my GF that citizenfour would not win, as the powers that be owned Hollywood.
I am glad I was wrong in this case.
I agree. People are far too blasé about drinking and driving in the US. It also seems like the punishment is often fairly light for the first few offenses (e.g. a small ticket, no penalty points, or similar).

People from the US I've spoken to often claim this is because in some areas not having a car is pretty unworkable due to a lack of public transport or alternatives. So if driving was revoked then people could get "stranded" at home (e.g. the nearer store is a 10 minute drive away on roads with no sidewalk).

I think if they're unwilling to revoke people's driving, then waste a bunch of their time. People car much more about their time than their money, just force people to take a full day weekend class even on the first offense and make it three weeks worth or more on the second attempt (you can fine them also).

Everyone's mileage varies - you'll find no shortage of people who lament the long term effects (although abstinence for even a month or so seems to cause complete reversal).

For my part, smoking cannabis is great for me, especially for programming. I find both that I feel more focused and that I am more capable of juggling multiple tasks. The "listener" in me comes alive, and I'm better able to empathize with the author who, three years ago, wrote the class from which I'm inheriting for a slightly different use case.

Sometimes I spend the morning under coffee's spell, writing really great tests, to then get as high as I want and spend the afternoon making them pass, with the aesthetic sensibilities from some high-quality indica powering me through ensuring that my code is readable, reusable, and maintainable. Even if I get a little too high, I always know that the tests I wrote will keep me tethered to a more grounded demeanor.

However, the effect of the herb that I most treasure is that just a little bit of weed tells me what I so often forget: that I need to get up and go for a walk to get some real thinking done.

Sometimes the reefer also tells me other things about my habits: I've had too much coffee. I was too hard on a colleague or friend earlier. I need to stop fussing and just merge that pull request.

After smoking fairly consistently for 13 years, I seem to be blessed by having no negative effects of which I am aware. I think it's just a great plant and part of a healthy, whole-food-and-drugs lifestyle.

I read it as rho.

(Isn't scientific notation fun like that)
I study this stuff, after a fashion! (Historian of globalization and intellectual exchanges). I would conjecture that if something exists in multiple European languages prior to, say, the 17th century (the advent of cheap mass market publications) it probably has a Greco-Roman or Biblical origin. Quite often you can narrow the guess to Horace or Virgil, since medieval and early modern writers apparently never got tired of quoting those two epigrammatically.

Searching for "origin of armed to the teeth" yields a lot of just so stories about how it comes from the great age of piracy or is a reference to a Scottish armory but I doubt both given the fact that we know it was a thing in the 1550s Low Countries. I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least a medieval origin for it given that.

> The only real way it affects the energy production is if the demand for renewable gets high enough that it exceeds the actual renewable production.

And the only way this happens is:

1) Government regulation mandating a certain percent of energy is generated from renewables

or

2) Enough consumers demand (through purchase agreements like this) renewable energy.

Apple is most definitely helping renewables in this way, and writing it off as "bookkeeping" is disingenuous.
I agree with your first point. I don't see designers learning to represent ideas as equations. Not even most of the people who studied Computer Science know the difference between a function and the graph of a function. So I don't see how more difficult concepts can be taught to designers who have no foundation in maths whatsoever. And I don't think that high school maths is really enough. You need a solid knowledge of Linear Algebra to understand how to display a 3D object properly.

Expressing a design as a mathematical expression that generates new representations that follow some guidelines means the designer needs to rigorously understand the very essence of what it is he's trying to do. And then he still needs to know the maths to actually formulate it. This is a tough problem if you start from scratch and I doubt that many designers are really capable of pulling it off.

AFAIK creating those layouts for iOS apps has mathematical reasoning. If you design your app, you basically specify rules to anchor each object on the screen. When the app tries to draw its interface, a linear system of equations gets solved and the solution is the best way to put all the objects on the screen, given the rules that were defined. This gives you an extremely powerful design tool to specify your layout for arbitrary screen sizes.

I would very much hope that they do the same for CSS any time soon.

i think nothing works like content creation. For HackerEarth, content would be algorithm tutorials, ACM problem solutions, or simply some language basics. Once you know what kind of content to generate, SEO and google ads on those content is a really effective growth strategy.

To tell you that it works. I actually recently signed up on your website and I found you through your notes section. I think it needs some SEO work..

Also try to be more innovative. Acquiring developer is easy and hard at the same time. Easy because developers are very active online.

It's hard to identify the product name in the url which leads to a lack of trust. Just my opinion.
If an organization has grown so large that software developers do not understand the larger business and organizational requirements, then that organization has already gone too far down the path of compartmentalizing their teams, at least in terms of job satisfaction and career growth for the devs.

When I worked in medium sized organizations (4000 employees, etc), we did have devs who did not understand the business, but they were outsourced contractors. Every actual employee knew the broader picture of their own applications. Those of us who worked on platforms that pervaded the enterprise did have enough knowledge to make architectural decisions. We also knew enough to pull in other people when a decision stepped outside our area.

After a few years, a new CIO did form an enterprise architecture group, and hired a new guy to be the "enterprise architect". We were told that software devs need not apply. Morale died, projects started to go very badly, and within 2 years everyone had quit.

So while there may be organizations that really do need a separate enterprise architect, I'm pretty much on board with the article, and feel that those places are likely to be quite craptastic places to work.

So, what, you don't believe in retrocausality?
True. But consider this: if we had a functional-style language that did not do any incremental computation, only the minimal React-style of re-rendering, that would already be infinitely better. Because it would mean we wouldn't have to totally rewrite our code whenever incremental computation became a reality.

In other words, we can do it in steps.
