> Busy-work isn't unproductive work

That's exactly what it is.

> Busy-work is work that the organization needs to have done, but the individual does not find interesting or satisfying to do.

That is not what the term means. Busy work: work that keeps a person busy but has little value in itself. What you're describing is simply boring work. If the work is useful, it is by definition not busy work.

> If you like Rust, you should also check out this project[1], which aims to be the first wrapper for Mantle!

Wow, I surely would like to develop games in rust.

1. https://github.com/tomaka/mantle-demo
Do you use Facebook at all? Whenever I check my feed on my phone I consistently get a block of advertised apps somewhere in there. They tend to be the typical high grossing IAP ridden games with a summary/call to action install button you can tell is being A/B tested to hell.
The runners delivering it usually didn't speak much English. I spoke with them in my broken Spanish, which humored them. They were indistinguishable from your average, friendly migrant day laborer.

Phone calls with the operator (el jefe) were brief and to-the-point. Code words were often used, e.g., "I need 2 pairs of pants." There was certainly never any in-depth discussion pertaining to the product.

I'm sure they had users with closer relations that they used for feedback.
"What I'm talking about mostly manifests itself in overheard conversations where someone who wasn't initially part of the conversation realizes they can add valuable context and joins in."

Which only works when staff are half listening to most conversations. Which means they are distracted for pretty much the entire day.

One thing I forgot to say on my post: I lived in the US, and I grew up and again now live in a third world country. The difference in homeless population is that in my shitty country the homeless are truly poor and most, really most of the time come from broken homes, substance abuse, physical abuse, etc. Apart from some hippies who live by selling their handcrafts, you're homeless because you had no choice. Living in the streets is so dangerous and such a shitty experience that no one really chooses it.
Ehhhh, that area is a bit B&T at night...
In case anyone has a Novation Launchpad, I made Conway's Game of Life for it when I was first learning Clojure[0]. It's fun playing with cells you can press.

Unfortunately there's a lot that I would do differently now that I know a little more what I am doing with Clojure, but I haven't had the time to go back and clean it up.

+1 on the Naloxone. Here in the UK the NHS harm reduction policy is to provide free Naloxone injection pens after some short training; this is advertised in all needle exchange locations. I think this is an excellent idea, and would hope that it will help reduce the number of overdose-related deaths.

So would you apply the same logic in the case of middle class people? Should we also try to ensure that they receive no income if they are drug addicts?

If you are absolutely sure that you know what's best for homeless people, and that they don't, then don't give them your money. Personally, I am not so sure.

hehe seems like I didn't RTF-make-M deep enough. Indeed a migration plan would be of immense value. But I fear more than syntax, it's make semantics that would hurt this plan, since AFAIK it has non trivial scopes for variables. Complex makefiles translation might prove intractable.

I've never been diagnosed with ADHD but im pretty sure im on the spectrum. Did some Insanity this morning with the wife and noticed how much it enabled me to focus afterward and how it mitigated my desire for a drink, which I use for the same effect. I highly recommend regular physical exercise.
No matter what you've got it can all disappear outside of your own control. Such is life, and while most of the time it doesn't happen it will if it needs to.

No matter how much you own and how much you've got things secured in your life, all you need is one gravel under your shoe and you can fall and hit your head so as to never go back to the life you had. Wealth, job, relationships... they can all be torn down should things go majorly awry.

Security is an illusion of control, and in life you never really have any real control.
I don't know. For me, the harmful part is not the heroin per-se, it is the addiction itself. The mentality created by such a powerful addiction is what is most damaging, the heroin itself less so. Although I have ended up in hospital due to poor needle hygiene, causing an infection and abscess that required multiple surgeries to fix.

I'd expect you could at least get a formal abstract, as with published academic papers.
Depends on the exercise. After lifting I'm exhausted, but even more motivated since I feel like I've accomplished something big and I'm eager to do more. After cardio, I'm too worn out to want to do anything.

> The Church–Turing thesis directly says that computers can do anything humans can, and it's pretty well accepted.

Huh? It doesn't say anything close to that. That wouldn't even be mathematics.

> Physical laws, as far as we can tell, are Turing computable.

Not true either. Where are you getting this idea?

I accept the materialistic thesis. I think people are conflating this thesis and the statement of whether human thought can be simulated on computers. That doesn't follow. A computer and the universe are not the same thing. They work in different ways and have different laws.

> Why couldn't they? Why couldn't an AI convince someone to do what they want?

I'm not saying they couldn't in principle. I'm not even rejecting strong AI in principle.

I'm saying that in practice, with the current state of technology and reasonable extrapolation of it, this possibility is beyond consideration.

There isn't a credible technical path from specialized AI to strong AI -- where we would be "surprised" that we developed it, and it would all of the sudden take over the world. If we are close technologically to strong AI, we'll know it.

The alternative would be like "accidentally" creating an atom bomb, without the Manhattan project (to borrow an example from Bostrom).

> Do you say we shouldn't worry about climate change because it's in the future?

We absolutely should worry about climate change because we have lots of evidence that it's happening, and will continue to happen. That isn't the case with strong AI.

What this article, and other AI practitioners, are saying is: The idea that computers could overthrow us all of the sudden is based on a technological misunderstanding.

FWIW in college I was very interested AI: reading Kurzweil's books, considering myself a futurist, etc. I now work at Google in the same department as Kurzweil, Deep Mind, Quantum Computing, etc. Though I don't work in AI per se, and I'm not an expert in it, I'm very excited about specialized AI (which is here), and also the possibility of strong AI. I say that even though strong AI hasn't been proved to be possible in principle: we may need a different mode of computation, in addition to multiple other algorithmic / scientific breakthroughs.

I'm saying that we don't have to worry yet. There are more important things to worry about, which relate directly to computing and specialized AI. Your arguments are not precise, and you have the burden of proof.
Everything here implies one has root.
Which goes to show that what requires a 'new feature' in C# is just a freebie in Haskell, due to the powerful type system. See my other comment ITT for how to do this in a tighter way that is more like the C# syntax. (You just use the bind operator rather than wrapping it in a do)
samurai-native – bring web standards to native iOS development
As long as you have the funds, say from a well-paying technology job, you should be able to manage your habit. I discussed this in another thread previously (see the comment history for this throwaway account) and pointed out that I have had both a reasonable career and an unreasonable addiction for twenty years. Of course, the career trajectory probably suffered due to my habit, although that could be laid at the feet of a badly judged brief interlude with crack cocaine rather than heroin ;)
This is why I tend to roll my eyes when people advocate legalizing all drugs, no matter what. All the talk about giving up on the failed war on drugs starts to matter a whole lot less when it's your loved ones who you're not sure you're ever going to see alive again on a day to day basis.

I'm completely willing to grant that keeping certain drugs (like marijuana) illegal isn't effective or necessary from a public safety standpoint compared to legalization/regulation. But for dealers of heroin and other hard drugs like these, I support extremely, extremely harsh penalties and much stronger enforcement. Far harsher and much stronger than what we currently have.

At least that's my (likely unpopular) opinion.

Which is fine, but such people should also not at all be surprised when that behavior gains them the reputation of being close-minded and inflexible.
Rethinking capitalism seems like the only option, then. (Well, this shouldn’t be surprising … it’s been happening ever since the start of the industrial solution. Markets are pretty awesome and can be extremely useful, no doubt. However, I would transition to just seeing them as a useful tool that can be more effective than potential alternatives in certain situations. Just not the be all, end all, that’s it. Seems simple enough to me, and also already the accepted truth, more or less, pretty much everywhere anyway, if you look at practical implementations of economies.)
This is a question of implementation, and answering it was part of the reason why I implemented this problem in the form of a computer program in the first place. In this implementation, the True and False gods simply pose the question to Random and take Random's answer - which is random. If you then ask the same question of Random again, of course you may not get the same answer.
I feel like internet news sites and comments sections have become bizarre parodies of themselves.
Hell, in the UK doctors often won't even prescribe addicts Methadone. For example, I had to go to a separate service, the CDPS (Community Drug Problem Service, says it all, really) where you are basically treated like criminal scum, no matter what your background is. I gave up on the scheme when my assessor didn't believe I wasn't homeless, had a real job and had never been in prison...

You can add your app by submitting it to F-Droid. This is just a front end.
Nice, but services like that already exist. For example, http://chunk.io/

> You are comparing vinyl to film but in the way you are doing it you are implicitly comparing the experience of the consumer of the audio with the producer of the image.

> Your argument that the differences with film vs. digital seemed to boil down to the economics of the two mediums not any aesthetic difference. That is interesting because off the top of my head I don't think there is any scenario in music recording where it becomes cheaper to go analog. I believe, in general, analog recording is more expensive.

You are correct, my apologies. From the producer standpoint, analog recording techniques offer few benefits compared to digital.

I didn't argue from an aesthetic viewpoint because I don't think the aesthetic viewpoint is worth arguing about, in that it's generally a non-productive conversation that ends up in "well I prefer x because it feels better than y". Although, I will argue one particular point: I find that vinyl creates an "equalizing" factor when listening to older music alongside newer music, whereas the increased clarity and lower noise floor of digital makes 50s/60s/earlier recordings sound considerably worse than contemporary recordings. A result of this is that when listening on vinyl, I am better able to look past poor recording quality and make decisions based on artistic quality. This, however, is merely a personal preference.

> It seemed as though you were using the term "hipster" to imply vinyl was more about style and trend. If that is the case, I wouldn't characterize the sonic differences between analog and digital recordings as simply "hipster" differences. There is a quantifiable difference between an analog and digital wave. Not saying one is better than the other but they are different.

I will direct you to this very enlightening page: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Myths_%28Vinyl%29 -- in my view, the only quantifiable differences in audio between vinyl and digital is that vinyl has a worse noise floor, a generally smaller "usable" frequency spectrum (the highs deteriorate pretty quickly), and includes surface noise, hum, rumble, etc.

I think the revival is hipster. I collect vinyl because it's often the only place to find certain genres of music (such as western swing and classic honky-tonk country), but I am generally hesitant to buy a pressing of a contemporary recording. I will do it, though, because I like having the physical product, but that is a stylistic decision more than one based on necessity/actual audio differences.
Toronto downtown is nice but it is the only exciting, interesting party of the city. I wish some of the surrounding areas had their own centres that didn't revolve around a mall or a Wal-Mart (Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Vaughan)

Keeping drugs in your mouth to allow swallowing quickly when stopped by the police is SOP for both heroin and crack cocaine dealers in most places I have experience of purchasing on the street.

Once swallowed, a pat-down search finds nothing, you wait until the police leave, then stick your fingers down your throat and throw up the bags. Here they are ususally wrapped with cling-film (saran wrap) and as long as you don't wait too long, stomach acid won't be a problem.
If you look carefully at your bill, you'll find that this is basically how it is structured in the US. Even commercial customers pay a demand charge (highest kW used in any 15 min period over the month, on the order of 10 USD/kW peak) for the site's peak power use plus a separate fuel charge (total kW-hr over the month) for their total energy use.

The issue is that the actual fuel charge for energy varies widely over the course of the day, and customers aren't exposed to that fluctuation. This leaves utilities to absorb the cost fluctuations, which turns them into finance companies as much as electric service providers.

> Where you lose people is telling other people that they're wrong to give cash to homeless people.

Why not? We encourage other people to do things all the time. I certainly encourage people to vaccinate their kids. Donating money to people who will immediately spend it on substance abuse is harmful to them. You're making yourself feel better about how you're SUCH a compassionate person at their long-term expense.

I laugh at people going, "b-b-but they're still human!!!" Like, do you donate cash on the street to non-homeless/non-panhandlers too? Yeah they're still human, why does that mean it's bad if I think about what they'll use my money for before >>donating<< it? Now if they want to earn money by working for me in some capacity, sure, they can spend it however they want. That's a completely different type of transaction.
Show HN: Bloodborne LFG – Online Matchmaking for Bloodborne
This is a shaky handheld video, postprocessed using very aggressive content-morphing stabilization measures that have recently become available (like Adobe Premiere's Warp Stabilizer). These are normally not a huge issue, but in this particular case, the actual background of the scene is moving all around and deforming in various ways. Figuring out how much of the effect is cinematic and how much is real is visually confusing.

Spectacular result, even so.

"I went back to live with my parents for a year"
There you go. You were always rich ass spoiled kid. You chose homelessness. Parent or Parent->Parent commenters point is that many people ( at in least in SF) are homeless by choice.
So at 24 you had ADHD. At 26 you are making $250k ??
Something doesn't add up. Thay's kick ass money google pays to 5+ yrs experienced engineers.
Its people like you who shadow true needy homeless people. All resources you consumed while being homeless could have been helpful for true homeless.
Also, no offence but which startup would hire ADHD person as CTO ? Its such a high responsibility position and many people's job depend on it ( directly or indirectly).
I guess I'm a little spoiled by being at a university with a very expensive Hasselblad scanner that can actually pull that DPI without issues. I imagine it's much more challenging to achieve that resolution on a flatbed. However, if you have access to a facility that has a nice scanner, then it's probably much cheaper to simply scan your large format film than to purchase a digital back.

I would love to see some large format contact prints someday. It sounds incredible. An artist in the area was doing tintype portraits and I got to observe. I wish I remembered more of how it looked, but after a 6 second ("manually timed") exposure, the result was beautiful. I've always loved making small enlargement prints of my 35mm negatives, but being able to contact print sounds so valuable.

Do you ever miss the large format bodies, though?
"do more boys have ADHD than girls"

It's a fact that more boys than girls are diagnosed, but I've noticed that /r/adhd seems overwhelmingly female. I dunno, though, maybe it's just that people are more likely to be talking womanly on a mental disorder site. (They're more likely to be talking about their feelings, for one thing.) And a tendency to associate Facebooky spelling ("isnt",etc) with females might be unfair on my part.

"teachers have a similar attitude, they're all female, they seem particularly bothered by some types of 'unruly' behaviour. Is there a biological divide between the sexes here too?"

Don't get me started... I have ADD, so it's hard for me to write a short comment.

In my life, pretty much all the women teachers have been big into rules for the sake of rules, and applying rules with no thought on the actual point of the rule. I can't really think of any reason for more women than men to be sensors rather than intuitives (most _people_ are sensors), but I suppose there could be a reason for more women teachers to be sensors than men teachers, or rather, for less men teachers to be sensors than the general population. I conjecture that that reason is: men who become teachers do it because they want to talk about equations and right-angle triangles all day, which is an intuitive trait. I want to be a teacher and that's the main reason.

(And women don't need a special reason to want to be a teacher... not the way men do, anyway.)
> Being tarred with the same brush as addicts is quite offensive

Actually, that attitude itself is offensive. Addiction is a serious mental health problem, and should not be stigmatized.
