Of course it's not the same. For one thing there is a lot less bullshit involved in simply smoking DMT. Seriously though, there are a lot of factors involved but I'm sure going into the jungle to drink ayahuasca under supervision of some self-proclaimed shaman isn't the only reasonable or effective way to have your spiritual experience with DMT.

HN had a story about a former football player that is now homeless because of traumas sustained during his football career. People seemed to agree with that article. But apparently not this statement.
It's used almost entirely to write async code, and had no good native constructs for async other than cascades of callbacks or non-standard libraries implemented on top of callbacks that are confusing to use.

So it's horrible for its most common use case.

It's type system is also a total joke. Typeof returns a string? Array.isArray()? ===? Just wow.

In general, programming tools get worse as they near the UI layer. It's like a passive aggressive way for programmers to say they hate writing user focused things. At least that's my armchair theory about why UI libraries, the DOM, etc. are so badly designed and hard to use compared with systems software or algorithmic code.

This is a textbook example of survivorship bias. The commentators you see on TV are healthy, because if they were not healthy then they wouldn't be on TV. It tells you nothing about the incidence of unhealthiness.
What do you consider "not for the better"?
The services guard their missions jealously. They don't want competition within their various roles -- those roles are their justifications for budget, status and involvement.

There are good reasons for specialization, of course. But the institutional politics can't be ignored.

I've heard that the Marines actually have really good air support, because they have their own planes and the generals make damn sure those pilots put the bombs where the grunts need them. I doubt the Air Force likes that. But the Marines are part of the Navy, and the folks running the Navy aren't interested in ground combat. They've already got an air role, on the carriers, and a strategic bombing role, in the missile subs, so they aren't likely to encroach much on the Air Force. Since the Navy puts a cap on how far the Marines' mission would grow, the other services can live with the Marines mixing things up a bit.

It also helps that the Marines have a PR operation unlike anything anywhere on the planet.

And they might be a natural home for the A-10, right? But you can't fly an A-10 off a carrier.
I have never observed correlation between the intended floor and the actual lift travel and floor you end up on so I'd suggest that all lifts probably operate in a similar manor. Either that or its just malicious embedded systems engineers :)

In part. Pointers can be made constant in two ways, a) constant in that they cannot be used to change the memory they point to, and b) in that one cannot change what memory they point to.

char const * ptr_a; /* You cannot write to the memory pointed to by ptr */

char * const ptr_b; /* You cannot change what ptr_b points to */

char const * const ptr_ab; /* You neither change what ptr_ab points to nor the memory it points to - at least not through this pointer */
Can you ask someone to press it for you?
Well, there's some other important differences

sizeof somearray vs sizeof somepointer are naturally different.

&somearray vs &somepointer are very different types.

Which also means that somearray + 10 vs somepointer + 10 yields very different results.
Same here, but 5.1 made it much better

I was getting system error popups every 30 seconds from various apps on 5.0.
I had two problems when reading this article which are caused by generalizations:

If you're an older Millennial (say born between 1980 and 1985) chances are very high that your parents were Boomers, and so chances are also very high that their grandparents were from the GI Generation and weren't the Silent Generation.

And of course if you look at what was going on in the early working years of the GI Generation and the Silent Generation you'll see that there was a much higher rate of employment with women of the GI Generation because of WWII. For young adult Silent women there was a backlash as men flooded the workforce and emphasis was placed on starting families.
What about for the server portion? I'd really like to distribute container images across a cluster of machines via torrent.
As pbnjay says, torrents alone can't be used because they target static content. I'm currently building an OSS alternative of btsync at https://github.com/rakoo/rakoshare.

Basically you can use a torrent to transfer content, but you need to transfer the new torrent itself some other way; I use bittorrent's extension capabilities to do that.

This app[0] made the rounds last year and caused a bit of a stir: it keeps your android phone's battery at a constant state, prevents the screen from turning off, and flips the screen orientation, all of which from a disconnected interpretation of halacha should be permissible. Problem is, any touch to the screen completes a circuit (one of the prohibited categories of work) so the whole thing is a bit ridiculous anyway.

That helps, but component rendering can still take a long time, so if you have a lot of them you are going to want to take advantage of shouldComponentUpdate
This article can be summarized by "I implemented shouldComponentUpdate and stopped mutating my data to make that easy". It's a good write up of what is otherwise standard Reactjs practice, but it really doesn't warrant all the 4000% nonsense. "How I used shouldComponentUpdate to make React rendering faster" would've been a more obvious title.
Based on one comment in 2009, surely WOT needs a better algorithm for refreshing these ratings as time passes.
CRLs are way too large to distribute through the DNS (e.g. the Comodo CRL mentioned in the blog post is 740kb). And what does that RFC say to do when a CRL is too big? Return a URL instead. So we're back to square one.
Interesting report! Did you weight in this - the bad developers are most likely to interview many times, so they appear often to you? Talents either get advised into a new job or stay where they are, because many shops know they are valuable, I'd think.
Well (and I hate reply spamming here but I keep thinking of new things) The Talmud and Mishnah were written hundreds of years after the birth of Jesus. And in the first century, the Pharisees (or proto-Rabbinics, or whatever) were only one sect amongst many. So yes, Christianity followed on a different path than Judaism.
All that kind of shadiness is a consequence of prohibition -- since it's illegal, black and grey markets staffed by crooks and irresponsible flaky types fill the vendor niche. Without prohibition you could go to a professionally run center and take pharmaceutically pure DMT+MAOI instead of shaman piss, and do so with experienced genuinely psychologically educated guides and with modern medical care available in case of a reaction.
I will express agreement to pretty much all of this. A major issue, though, is one that lingers is referred to in the article:

"Now, this does require one huge prerequisite: every candidate must have a side project that they wrote, all by themselves, to serve as their calling card.

I don’t think that’s unreasonable. In fact, I think you can very happily filter out anyone who doesn’t have such a calling card. (And lest I be accused of talking the talk without walking the walk: I am very happily employed as a full-time software engineer; I travel a lot, and I write books, along with this here weekly TechCrunch column; and I still find the time to work on my own software side projects. Here’s my latest, open-sourced.)"

The usually spoken requirement of having side projects in 2015 is the job posting's equivalent of the bachelor's degree being the new high school diploma/GED. If every programmer did it, then every programmer would in theory be far more qualified for the interesting jobs where more difficult things happen, but then ultimately fall into the same trap where they've still not done enough compared to the people with the side-project programming equivalent of their master's.

This will become a vicious cycle until companies with more experienced programmers realize that life is not about programming, and most of the stuff you're working on is not all that important, with even your average (or slightly below average) programmer being capable of doing the work. In most cases, it's a job like any other. I fear that this may never happen.
Web performance: a pragmatic approach
The problem with the trolley problem is that it discounts time. In the time between throwing or not throwing the switch and the trolley reaching the location of the potential victim[s], our experience gives us some small hope that the victim[s] might be rescued by others. themselves, or trolley malfunction. There is still time for good fortune to replace the bad. The problem does not account for our ordinary intuition in this regard.

This explains the apparent conundrum of divergence in the Fat Man version. If we push him off the bridge, there is no time for good fortune to save him, but there is time for the group to escape, self preserve or get lucky.
AFAIK, capactive touch screens are permisable from a Jewish law standpoint. For example [1] which is a phone for use on shabbat and uses capactive buttons to avoid closing a circuit.

It's worth noting that the article is generalizing from a very limited study among British celebrities and journalists. It's entirely possible that abuse and threats happen differently in different countries, and you certainly can't assume that celebrities are treated the same as non-famous people. Furthermore, the article explicitly mentions that their sample size was so small that classifying a single famous, controversial journalist as either celebrity or journalist had a dramatic impact on the results.

What also matters is the nature of the abuse. Is the abuse aimed at men just as sexual/rape oriented as that aimed at women? It doesn't say.

All in all, my impression is that the article selects and presents the data in a way convenient for the point it's trying to make.

(That doesn't change the fact that of course all harassment and threats are bad, and they all need to be fought.)
It depends on your interpretation of rabbinic law. In most cases the answer would be no (since you're still causing the effect by your actions), but some frum families used to employ a shabbos goy [0] to light candles, do shopping, cook, etc. Any action is permissible if it was going to happen anyway, but you get into degrees of technicality of the definition of "what was going to happen anyway".

Is http://ayaadvisor.org/ a reputable source in terms of reviews? If not, how could this problem be fixed?

Scraping and analyzing a few million reviews on tripadvisor a few months ago left me at a place where I don't trust any review site anymore. I've been thinking about solutions to this problem ever since and can't come up with anything that would reliably fix that problem.
I have experienced the same thing, but it was primarily because the dosage was too high. I have taken Adderall for years, being initially prescribed 5mg and now, 5+ years later, taking 15-20mg per day. I take "drug vacations" (no Adderrall) on most weekends, to help keep my tolerance low. Personally, I find amphetamines very useful. :)

For comparison, my friend was prescribed Adderall, but his initial dosage was 40mg per day. He did not enjoy it. I do not understand the (poor) reasoning for prescribing such a high initial dose.
So get rid of the USAF / fold it back into the Army, this way the Navy has an air wing, and the Army has an air wing. Large sky battles are unlikely to happen ever again... the USAF was designed to deal with those, right around when they had become obsolete. Hooray for Parkinson's laws.

The A-10 is a magnificent brute of a plane and does exactly the job it was designed to do, very well... so of course they want to mothball it.

I wonder how hard it would be to make it carrierable, or how hard it would be to string a bunch of barges together to make a floating airfield for it (and use a standard carrier for mechanical support).
They ripped off Dick Dale too.
1. US military hardware runs different software than Russian military hardware.

2. There are major geographic differences in the software, hardware and architecture of Industrial Control Systems. Not to mention vulnerabilities that might only exist in certain configurations which are common to the contractors building those systems.

3. Major powers are developing their own GPS satellite constellations. Some countries develop their own satellite software.

4. Most web applications are customized to the client.

5. Due to fears of hardware backdoors, it is looking like we might seen a balkanization of communication hardware (internet routers, etc). Note that their are already geographic and regional differences in cell and phone communications.

6. S. Korea's legally mandated https encryption, SEED, is not used outside of S. Korea. An attack on SEED software would be very specific to that country.

You are correct though in the notion that much of the consumer OTS software is global in scope. It really depends on the vertical you are attacking.
Here's a theory. If the site had an issue, they would be unable to do anything about it that day. Could be too much of a liability, so they shut it down.

Or maybe I'm applying too much thought to it.
Yea, there always would be a risk, but the user can evaluate the situation and determine whether it would be acceptable. This is part of why I said it would not be enabled by default for now though.

Clojure Screencast: Refactoring Repetition into Data
I'm going to go against the popular opinion here: I don't believe that technical interviews are broken and need fixing. Of course, we know as engineers who deployed code filled with hacks and known bugs to production, everything is broken. The difference is only how broken it is. Let's fix our approach to quality and security, ability to estimate and other things that are much more broken first.
Yes but its very poor quality sleep, I'm tossing and turning and not sure whether I'm awake or asleep.

I don't get why this can't happen dynamically and automatically. Detect latency and dropped packets on WiFi and fall back to LTE. Just run both networks side by side and route over the healthier one.

I actually always supposed that Melbourne's publishing of the Spectrum ROM was by consent of Sinclair Research; after all, it greatly helped software developers to make new software titles and devise even greater hacks for the machine, thus making it more attractive for buyers. The ROM did display a copyright message, so it should have been clear that it was Sinclair's property.

I recall I wrote my own loader for an adventure game that I designed; it was so nice to have a slightly different loading sound and different colours flashing at the sides of the screen. The loader of course was based on the ROM routine, but with different timings (to increase the loading speed from 1500 bit/s to about 2200 bit/s). The game was probably not very imaginative, and sold less than a dozen copies, but it later got me a job with the local Spectrum/Amstrad distributor. Alas, I've lost all copies.
Url changed from https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/02/att_charging_..., which points to this. It points to a couple of articles, but this one seems to have the most information. We kept Schneier's title since it's more general.
"The following image represents a series of 20 oil on canvas paintings by contemporary artist Lewis Lavoie"

Does that not read "a series of 20 oil on canvas paintings by contemporary artist Lewis Lavoie"?

ie. Lewis Lavoie had painted the 20 oil on canvas paintings.

That's how I read it, but searching his name reveals otherwise

It really depends on your definition of the 39 melakhot. Even the idea of "closing a circuit" being the same thing as "starting or tending a fire" is a modern invention, so some people abide and others don't.

In my opinion if you're closing a circuit you're closing a circuit, and capitative screens count. Others go so far as to disable thermostats since a person's very presence in a room affects the temperature by a few degrees and could trip the circuit. Depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go I guess.
Not speaking about processing costs, this could be nice format for storing the data. Consider the example from page:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
a · 1 2 · · · ·
b · A # # · · ·
c · · # # # · ·
e · · · 9 # 3 ·
f · · · 8 # 4 ·
h · · # # # · ·
i · 7 # # · · ·
j · 6 5 · · · ·

It is textually 58 characters of data:

7 ·12·····A···············9·3····8·4·········7······65····

(Axis headers and whitespace ommited, two characters added to keep the row width information.)

It is almost the same size of the smallest possible SVG polygon of similar shape consisting of 59 characters:

Using even the simplest coordinates notation it could look like 24 characters:

a2a3e6f4j5j6i7f6e9b2f cf

(Three characters added to keep "Close and fill" information.)

A business may choose to exert political influence. If business is guided only by law, and law is guided by business, a paradox exists.
Can you provide some citations for this? At acceptable decibel levels I have a hard time believing this would be the case.
Sure. In general, I am not against tough interviews. I just think that if you have elite hiring standards, you better be an elite company making elite offers. But you can't say "we only hire the best of the best!" and then comp negotiation rolls around and you say "well, this is market salary, but since we're a startup....".

I think some of these average companies should recognize themselves for what they are and be more accepting of average candidates. Give some new people in the industry a chance, train some entry-level people, especially if the work you're doing is not really cutting edge tech but just web apps or data analysis stuff that bright but not world-class people can learn with practice.

Also, companies should just focus more on candidate experience. I have interviewed and been rejected by Facebook a few years back. They did expect me to jump through hoops, but in general, they had a few original questions, I felt like they had a great candidate experience with polite recruiters, they put me up in a nice hotel and expensed it instantly, and I knew that if I did get through those hoops they were going to pay me a lot of money. I didn't get it, but I felt fine afterwards. I'm angry at all the average companies that don't do any of that but think they're entitled to put you through the same grinder. My only big criticism of companies like Facebook is they should give more feedback so you feel like you got something to improve upon. Also, I know Zuckerberg campaigns hard for H1Bs, but when Facebook is paying people what they're paying, I assume he genuinely does want to find the world's best and is not just trying to undercut labor. Although most H1Bs are in fact about undercutting labor, and the simple solution is to change it to an auction rather than a lottery and give them more time to look for new jobs before they have to leave. (note, I do not work for Facebook, I interviewed there once and got rejected but had a massively more positive experience with them than most companies. Google is also an excellent company to interview for, I'm sure there are some others but not many).
He's an offensive lineman. It wouldn't surprise me if there is less head trauma in that position than in others.

They make contact with other players with less time for anyone to get to full speed. The guys they're hitting aren't generally going in exactly the opposite direction, the way defenders' targets are. That contact is mostly on the body. And they aren't targets the way ball carriers are.

Also, they're some of the biggest guys on the field. That means they've got more neck muscle holding their head in place.
