Interestingly in France it's not the case (except for sequestration), but a policeman using his weapon will be scrutinized with the same laws as citizen without any special presumption (I'm talking about the law itself, because like in the US, DA don't like to charge policemen).

I think the police of the police is famous for being tough when an investigation starts, there is probably no bail if someone was killed.

For a ticket, there is a presumption of truth from the policeman (you have to prove he's wrong), anything higher he's a witness or a defendant like the others (still only talking about the law, judges tend to believe policemen).

It is cliche because it is inane: plenty of stupid things happened under his watch. If you want to see software complaints from his era, just look up iTunes for Windows.
That's where teams come into play. Highly creative people won't be able to finish unchallenging work. They need their counterparts. That lesson is one I still need to accept. I often think quite arrogantly "They all don't get it.", but the skill of finalizing is as an important skill as seeing, understanding and finding creative solutions.
HBO Now is indeed their new offering, and they are only partnering with Apple for the launch, available on iOS and AppleTV only; however it will be rolled out to other devices eventually.

Apple cut the price of the AppleTV to $69, so if you really want it, its not expensive to get in. However, I'll just wait for a future Netflix deal instead.
After 35 years undiagnosed, I feel quite confident when I say there is no upside. Only lots of "if only I had known, I could have finished college", or "if only I had known, I would be the person running this company"...

I didn't know, and so I struggled mightily against myself to get to where I am today. In the few months during which time I have been medicated, I have made more career progress than any 5 other years prior.
Great abuse of the implicit type conversion system.

Amazing that a simple alert("Hello world!") expands to over 16KB.
to add a bit, in France, the police unions are mostly close to the far right, probably the only unions the far right could stand.

edit: I didn't go to the end of my idea. That means that the left doesn't care for the police unions. Half of the police is part of the army anyways, where there is no union.
Have you been to an ADD conference where you are surrounded by hundreds of similarly-wired brains? Neurotypical is defined by the local majority. In a hunter-gatherer society, slow reaction time means no dinner. Don't be fooled by labels which originate in specific social contexts. Environmental impedance mismatches can be addressed by changing the human or changing the environment.

> The police unions do the same thing teachers' unions or any other union do--protect members who don't act within the bounds of their professional responsibility.

Yeah, we should get rid of public defenders to save a few bucks too. All those lousy public defenders defending poor people who commit crimes. Bastards.

Want to know why they're risk takers? Lack of ability to form long temporal associations. When you have trouble connecting effect to action when separated by more than a few hours, it's hard to realistically identify risk.

From personal experience, it's easy to spend money when you don't associate how it will impact your ability to pay rent in 15 days.

this is exactly my experience as well. having very recently completed a round of interviews for new hires, I experienced this directly. we wanted to hire 2 engineers. we interviewed about 20. found 4 that we liked. 2 of those 4 took other offers at other places they interviewed. we hired the 2 (that we liked, they have been good hires so far!) that were left.

there was never anything close to anybody getting "cut" in favor of another interviewee that was fractionally better than they were. we fully intended to make offers to everyone that we thought was good.
An important factor is the age of the mother at the time of her first child. If this age is earlier than the general population, there will be more generations in a given calendar time period. E.g. risk-seeking behavior among females could lead to early motherhood, which could be repeated in the child.

This makes a lot of sense in light of the fact that most of Europe, at some point in its past, has suffered at the hands of their own police far more than Americans ever have.

Hopefully Americans can eventually learn from others' histories before we have to go through the police state, neighbors disappearing in the night, and all that nastiness, ourselves....

It makes testing for this behavior important, and it sounds like the OP exhibited just this behavior, doesn't realize it, and blames the interview technique despite it ascertaining exactly what it needed to.
This is true. Words like "shit" (くそ) exist, which is fairly tame compared to other languages. One of the worst phrases you can say is basically the command "die" (死ね).

When "cursing" at someone in Japanese, it's more about inflection, tone, and using the social status constructs of the language to talk down to someone. Such as the insanely informal Kansai dialect below:

お前、何をやてねん？！あほやで！
"What are you doing?! Stupid!"

Translated it's pretty tame, but depending on the context this could be quite shocking to the receiver.
But isn't the paper clip scenario more a goal then an ideal? Most people change their goals throughout life - not many kids find themselves at age 30 still wanton to be a fairy or superman.

I do see what you mean by 'values' (or top level 'goals'), but I would consider that very different to a 'goal' like making lots of paper clips.
Well ; produces 8307 chars on its own (without eval checked) -- which seems kind of inefficient (for such a common character in idiomatic javascript). Looking that their encoder, ';' actually has a specific encoding (which itself has to be encoded) so it looks like there's some inefficient expansion taking place (e.g. '.' has a specified encoding that does not require recursive encoding). Encoding the string "link" in the expansion of ';' appears to be very expensive -- alert is cheap in comparison because you can obtain its letters from Javascript return values (e.g. "l" is pulled out of "false" which is obtained by (![]+"")[2])

I'd imagine that if you were serious about this, you'd implement, say, e=String.fromCharCode (12k chars) and use that to dig yourself out of a lot of this expensive stuff if you need more than one hard-to-encode character.
Compete in which areas? As much as I love Linux, it is obvious that UX decisions aren't amenable to the bazaar model. Call Windows 8 UX a fiasco; it's still far more consistent that any Linux desktop environment.

Why would this be a problem? Have you looked at the defense budget recently? Just cut science funding, education, hell just fire all the teachers outright, get rid of social safety net entirely, sell the national parks, etc. There are thousands of major budget items that conservatives hate that can be slashed before their precious storm troopers would need to take a budget cut... In fact, the need to continue funding the cops can be used as an excuse to cut the other stuff, just like the "need" for a "strong national defense" is used as an excuse to slash the aforementioned items.
Why would it care about harming humans?

Actually a photonic drive takes only 299.792458 MW to get a newton of thrust. You're units are off, the thrust per watt is equal to 1 / c which would come out to 3.3356 nanonewtons of force per watt.

As for the accuracy of the 750 millinewton figure, that's the only one I've seen for the Chinese results but again, that has to be an error, even if the EmDrive did pan out in the end that's just an unbelievably high amount of thrust. I would assume it's supposed to be micronewtons and that was lost in translation.
CoffeeScript solution: (sorry, couldn't resist trying!)

happy = (n) ->
sum = 0
while (sum += Math.pow n%10, 2 ; n = 0|n/10) then
sum

happyness = (n, s=[]) ->
(n is 1) or (n not in s) and (happyness (happy n), [ s..., n ])

console.log n for n in [1..100] when happyness n

Edit: and a JavaScript one:

function happy(n) {
for (var sum = 0; n; sum += Math.pow(n%10,2), n = 0|n/10);
return sum
}

function happyness(n, s){
s || (s=[])
return n==1 || !~s.indexOf(n) && happyness(happy(n), s.concat(n))
}

Edit 2: And the golf version:

function h(n,s){for(s=0;n;s+=Math.pow(n%10,2),n=0|n/10);return s}
function H(n,S){return n==1||!~(S=S||[]).indexOf(n)&&H(h(n),S.concat(n))}

Sometimes it seems like a gift but other times... not so much. I am working on a couple of projects right now, and it feels like every time I hit a tough spot, the urge to do/think of something else really saps my ability to just power through.

I can't make claims about anyone else's experience, but the really frustrating thing for me is that these new tangents might actually be truly good ideas worth pursuing[1]-- maybe even better things to work on than what I'm doing currently.
But I've been through this process before, and so I just write down whatever this amazing new thought was in a notebook, and then convince myself I'll follow up on it later.

I almost never do.

Still, the fact that I can't trust myself to switch tasks really bothers me, and even the strategy of writing things down and pretending I'll handle it later is not 100% effective[2].
So it's a mixed bag, where you might think of it as a gift because new and exciting thoughts are always popping in, ready to distract you, but in my case it is definitely also a disorder since a lot of the things I want to do require a certain degree of focus and commitment, and if I abandon them when I first start to feel bored I'd likely be unable to get through to the really worthwhile stuff.

1. The key is of course that they seem to be good ideas, but that might just be my brain fooling itself in order to persuade me to goof off.

2. I currently have something like 800 tabs open, the results of thinking "oh I'll just read a little about this", getting distracted/having to sleep, and now they sit across my various browser windows, preserved in the amber of my virtual memory.
You know what else means no dinner in a hunter society? Your spear breaking because you forgot to fire harden it. Scaring away the pretty because you inadvertently bumped into a tree (inadvertently bumping into things on a regular basis is an indicator of ADHD). In a gathering society: not gathering because a butterfly distracted you. That's the effect of ADHD.

ADHD doesn't make you some magical hunter, patience does. Reaction time has nothing to do with ADHD, it comes from paying attention when the stimuli comes about, something a person with ADHD can't do.

As for "normal", I base it off the figure of 95%. That is, our brains are different from 95% of humanity. That strikes me as a good definition of abnormal, better than "I surround myself with th those like me, so I'm totally normal".
>> This isn't strange, this is inevitability. OSX and Windows simply cannot compete, Im rather shocked that they are still trying.

While Linux is my go-to operating system for servers, it is still a distant third for me as a desktop OS.

I regularly try out Linux desktops of various distros, and I always end up preferring OSX and Windows over them. For me at least, clearly OSX and Windows can still compete.

In fairness to Linux, the desktop environment has advanced leaps and bounds over the past decade. Just not enough to win me over... yet.
I'd switch to something else, if I could find something that paid close to the same rate. Due to technology churn and age discrimination, I might be forced to find something else soon anyway.
Fairness is definitely not relevant here.

But, an interview technique can be useful for a company or not. Asking candidates to write code on the spot isn't inherently useful or not useful. Assessing a candidates typos and compiler errors smugly is probably not very useful. But assessing their approach to understanding expectations, understanding problems, and solving problems is useful. If a candidate just assumes the expectations without asking in the interview, they are likely to do the same on the job.

I had an interview a few days ago, and just punched the problem I was asked to do in Python into iPython. Immediately did it a much simpler way, and also spotted my logic error (if you want deciles you actually divide by 9, not 10, since you have 9 columns with 10 edges).

Took me about 2 minutes to do. Whereas in the interview I wrote entirely the wrong thing initially, then went "oh wait, that makes no sense".

The idea that gluten remains undigested and crosses into the brain to somehow wreak havoc is completely cockamamie.

Gluten is a composite made of the proteins glutenin and gliadin. (Look it up in the Wikipedia.)

These proteins have molecular structures that are freaking huge.

You digest these macromolecules like any other proteins, thereby breaking them down into little amino acids. Your body then uses the materials to make new proteins, like for example the keratin in your hair and nails.

Gluten does cause GI problems for people who are sensitive to it. Your gastro-intestinal tract is essentially an inverted exterior of your body; this is much like having a rash on your skin, or inflammation in your airways.

People who don't experience any digestive discomfort from gluten have no need to stay away from it.

Instead of following internet quacks, you should maybe crack open some textbooks on real biology.
I'd recommend ignoring Maratd's advice.

I used to be a horrible coder. I used to have just the issues you describe here. I wrote spaghetti code, I didn't understand objects and classes properly, I probably had every bad habit in the book.

I kept getting noticed as a 'good programmer' because I did stuff other people didn't get. I was good at figuring out the puzzles how to make pieces fit, but I was, quite frankly, a bad coder.

I got a contract for a big company, and I wrote the app they wanted. The code was awful, but I didn't know that. When I finished the contract and passed the app over to their IT division, it went through a 'code review' process.

I'd like to be able to tell you that the CTO pulled me aside and told me what was wrong with my code. Had he done that, I would have taken back all my work and refactored it for them so it was well written. But, of course, he didn't do that.

If the CTO had taken the time to explain to me why my code was bad, I would be very grateful for the learning experience. I would look back on that time as a defining moment which sent me on my course as a professional software engineer. But he didn't, so instead, I gradually, over the course of a few years, learned what it meant to write good code.

I probably lost my first coding job because my code wasn't great, but it could have been, had somebody taken the time to explain to me why it wasn't good.

So, I hope you can look at this not as a time for a 'scathing code review', but rather as an opportunity to help a struggling coder to maybe become excellent.

I think the most important thing may be to NOT do the work for him. Stop at what you've got so far and you can use it as a comparison, so he sees what the difference is between what you did and what he did.

Then let him take another shot at it. If he doesn't want to redo it, or thinks he can't, then you'll know he's a bad employee and a likely not going to grow to become a good coder. If he jumps at the chance and is eager to learn, you'll know that he might have a shot at this.

Do make sure you go through your HR process (if you have one) of recording the poor performance though. But let him know that you have to do that just so that the company isn't stuck with him if he isn't able to adapt. But if this is approached properly, it may be the best gift you could give the new hire.
I thought about getting AppleTV, but after learning the latest model has no jailbreak I decided not to spend my money on a product the manufacturers of which spent so much time on denying me full access to the device.

That and also I already have Pi, Chromecast and Amazon TV and I'm running out of HD ports on my TV :)
The problem with disclosure is that the information is often used to pressure or shame people out of expressing their views, or supporting causes they believe in. One must always ask whether they would like such rules to be used by their adversaries, as this will inevitably come to pass. I imagine that disclosure of financial support to political causes could have hurt various interests which I support, but were initially unpopular, such as desegregation, and extension of the franchise; I am certain that many causes which I will support will be initially unpopular, and this has convinced me that anonymity is important.

There are many reasons to support the opportunity for political anonymity, and among them is also the fact that one cannot guarantee a viewpoint neutral rule will have favorable long term outcomes, even for a specific interest group.
ok sure. That's what I meant.

Usually when people say "privatize" they mean "make it for-profit" and not "establish a separate charter and incorporate as a not-for-profit".

My only claim is that the goals of the underlying impetus of the organization can be at conflict with the premise for its existence.

The theory is that a large enough mismatch of these effort will only give rise to dysfunctionalism.

Much of the "argument" I see is where people thing that their pet generalized economic model is clearly the best one for all of societies needs. It's a bag of hammers approach. The problems are too divergent for a unified solution to be the most efficacious.

We need to stop the cheerleading and start the analysis.

i totally agree with you
What's wrong with that API pattern if the compiler guarantees that it will be used correctly? It's certainly simpler and allows for better code reuse.
Which can't be done because it's the zero point energy--i.e., it's the state with the lowest possible energy. If there were a lower energy state possible, we would be calling that the "zero-point".

The Casimir force demonstrates that the zero point of vacuum can be ABOVE the zero point of the same space with a different arrangement of stuff in it. In other words the zero point energy is not necessarily the minimal configuration that can be achieved.

Thus the apparently trivial answer isn't necessarily correct.
If everyone has a spear-hardening "problem", there will be external structure and rituals to ensure that this activity is not forgotten. Reaction time is explicitly measured by one clinical test which diagnoses ADHD.

There is no normal, that's the main point. If you get enough people with "AD(H)D" in a room, and ask a few questions about preferred cognitive styles (sound, light, touch, motor movement) you will discover clusters of preferences and a wide range of differences.

The label ADHD is most useful as a search term for a vocabulary of common challenges. Naming any problem is necessary to develop shared solutions. Prior to the advent of this term, non-neurotypical people independently named their logistical challenges and independently re-invented solutions.

Are you familiar with the term hyperfocus? Is that a strength or weakness?
Me too. My woes with my early 2011 Macbook Pro had me switch to 8.1 last summer and I've never looked back. While Windows 8.1 is far from perfect, my transition was super easy.

After my Macbook Pro finally got fixed with the repair program announced a couple of months ago, I find myself a little lost on OSX on the occasions when I do use my old Macbook Pro.
