Here's one study that found potential risk from aerosolised particles from flush toilets.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16033465

> Many individuals may be unaware of the risk of air-borne dissemination of microbes when flushing the toilet and the consequent surface contamination that may spread infection within the household, via direct surface-to-hand-to mouth contact. Some enteric viruses could persist in the air after toilet flushing and infection may be acquired after inhalation and swallowing.
Speaking specifically to do notation, it has no impact on performance, being a purely syntactic transformation.

I have heard that transformer stacks can add "wrapping/unwrapping overhead", but haven't looked at it in depth, most of my Haskell work not being terribly performance sensitive at that scale.
>but the people of Scotland clearly have wildly different views //

Really? Having lived in Scotland, Wales and England this doesn't seem to be true.

The swing to the right I think is in part due to apparent immigration pressures and in part [much more speculatively] a selfish response to poverty (someone has to be poor make sure it's someone else and not me).

Scotland doesn't have the same immigration issues as other parts of the UK as far as I can tell in this [1] map you can see the areas with major cities are clearly home to more migrants - Glasgow, Edinburgh and I'm guessing that's Dundee and Perth and Aberdeen [which might be skewed by oil workers?]. Same in England and Wales except that some areas have seen a huge increase in migrant populations [2] indeed in 2012 the migrant population in Scotland was ~7% vs ~13% in the rest of the UK [3].

[Note I'm trusting the stats here, please provide corrections if they seem wrong.]

Personally I don't think that Scotland will react more gracefully with similar immigration patterns. Indeed if Scotland secedes from the UK and is successful in gaining entry to the EU then they will be outside the Schengen Area [4, it's been agreed that all new applicants will be accepted as outside the Schengen Area]. That would mean Scotland would likely get a big increase in immigrants too and I suspect the response would be similar.

>Then of course there is the prospect of BoJo as PM - which I think would pretty much guarantee a rapid dissolution of the UK. //

So there's not much difference between BoJo and SNP then? /s

It's more of a toolbox, so it fails on the simple-to-use part. But it does lots of high-end/sophisticated things that other tools can't.
I agree with you, but it's not about what you prefer, or what I prefer. It's about what can be done. The great thing about the web is that we can have BOTH of these designs. If Jack prefers #1 and Alice prefers #2 then there's no problem as they can both co-exist.

But if Jack starts saying design #2 is awful, so we should remove the ability of browsers to display that kinda stuff, then Alice has to use #1 and may well stop using the issue queue entirely. That doesn't seem like a good outcome.

Let's optimise so that the maximum amount of utility can be had by the maximum number of people, instead of trying to push our own worldview on what the web should look like.
Can someone fire the author of this work and explain what I'm looking at in English?
most of codeclimate's metrics come from things you can run locally (eg they blog about this here http://blog.codeclimate.com/blog/2013/08/07/deciphering-ruby...):

What makes codeclimate useful is the polish/ease of use on top of these tools. It also makes it easier for me to get projects to adopt new tools - if they're in CC already, and CC start doing bundler-audit reports...we get them for all projects.
WOMAN FROM BRITAIN WITH TINY HAND DISORDER
> but a history of arrests

You're not looking at convictions? Just arrests?
Its more composable, and because its less general, it more clearly articulates intent and iis easier to scan for bugs.

Or at least it would in an ecosystem where functional programming is embraced, but I don't know how practical it is in practice. Its not composable if you can't expect any other given piece of code to be written in a way conducive to composing with accumulate.
libsrt, sds, SafeStr... How many times will this problem be solved independently before something like this makes it into the standard lib? Libsrt looks nice, but if you can't use it to interface to libraries that use the same types, you're still futzing around with char buffers.

What does Kore use? libsrt? Let's have a look at how you're supposed to program a web app in its examples:

int
serve_file_upload(struct http_request *req)
{
int	r;
u_int8_t	*d;
struct kore_buf	*b;
u_int32_t	len;
char	*name, buf[BUFSIZ];

b = kore_buf_create(asset_len_upload_html);
kore_buf_append(b, asset_upload_html, asset_len_upload_html);

if (req->method == HTTP_METHOD_POST) {
http_populate_multipart_form(req, &r);
if (http_argument_get_string("firstname", &name, &len)) {
kore_buf_replace_string(b, "$firstname$", name, len);
} else {
kore_buf_replace_string(b, "$firstname$", NULL, 0);
}

if (http_file_lookup(req, "file", &name, &d, &len)) {
(void)snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf),
"%s is %d bytes", name, len);
kore_buf_replace_string(b,
"$upload$", buf, strlen(buf));
} else {
kore_buf_replace_string(b, "$upload$", NULL, 0);
}
} else {
kore_buf_replace_string(b, "$upload$", NULL, 0);
kore_buf_replace_string(b, "$firstname$", NULL, 0);
}

d = kore_buf_release(b, &len);

http_response_header(req, "content-type", "text/html");
http_response(req, 200, d, len);
kore_mem_free(d);

return (KORE_RESULT_OK);
}

Uh oh. So Kore invented yet another safe string/buf type? Why didn't they use libsrt? What's all this kore_buf stuff?

Strings in C are NOT a solved problem. They're a hot mess.
This is the answer I was looking for, thanks! I'm thinking the long-term productivity increase from small amounts of coffee is certainly attainable without developing any major side effects.
Reminds me of this old joke...

Lady: Do you smoke?
Guy: Yes I do.
Lady: How many packs a day?
Guy: 3 packs.
Lady: How much per pack?
Guy: $10.00 per pack.
Lady: And how long have you been smoking?
Guy: 15 years
Lady: So 1 pack is $10.00 and you have been smoking 3 packs a day which puts your spending per month at $900. In 1 year, it would have been $10,800. Correct?
Guy: Correct.
Lady: If 1 year you spend $10,800, not accounting for inflation, the past 15 years puts your spending total at $162,000. Correct?
Guy: Correct.
Lady: Do you know if you hadn't smoke, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 15 years, you could have by now bought a Ferrari?
Guy: Oh. Do you smoke?
Lady: No.
Guy: Then where's your fucking Ferrari?
Love this idea. Might be time to read the Book of Mormon.

Also, consider giving an example of what an annotation might look like or what it would say.
The previous paragraph makes a note on that:

"The issue as I see it in a lot of cases, is one of not being open enough about the root of the problem with yourself and others. Sometimes they don't even really know! (Usually younger people)"

If you genuinely don't know, then you need to figure that out, asap. That's what happened to me pretty early on in life, I actually went to my parents one day and musingly said 'I am not happy, I don't know why'. Acknowledging that there genuinely was a problem, was an important step, because then I read all sorts of books and at least did surface level things like 'being more positive' - gleamed from that famous Dale Carnegie book.

It didn't do anything overnight but it got me to open my mind to a wide array of ideas I hadn't considered before - some of them counter-productive, others quite good.

To think that there isn't a root for depression is to basically admit defeat. I recognize that there may be great comfort in going 'well, that's just how I am, not much I can do' but that's the type of mentality that leads down the dark road of despair - if you think you are powerless to change it, then you are quite likely to end up in a place where you are pretty fkd.
How Steve Wozniak Built the Apple I and Apple II
Ok, I tried to fix a few things I saw. Look any better?
Feels a bit silly to resize a 20-tab browser window because one site failed to have proper content width. I'm very happy with having a 1920px maximized browser window. I don't like having non-maximized windows (in windows), it's just clumsy without a good layout system. You can have windows snapped at half width but I also want content centered on the screen.

So no: failing to set max width on a web page is not a good way to just present a clean page of information rather than an experience. It's just a bad webpage.
It is kind of sad that so many see doing things alone as a shameful thing, or atleast odd.

I'm sometimes self-conscious about it too but mostly (I feel) because of other people's views, not mine.

RMS' view is simple: Work is valuable, people should be paid, but putting proprietary software into the world is harmful, so you should be shamed for that, not paid for it. Thus, he will readily acknowledge that making a living writing freely-licensed software may be difficult, but since it is the only ethical way to write software, we just have to figure out the best ways we can to do it.

An extreme absurd version of the logic (NOT to say the moral implications are the same, just to understand the logic!!) is this: it may be easier to get rich owning slaves, but you should not own slaves. I don't care how hard life is for you or how hard you have to work or how impossible your business would be without slaves. No slavery.

The fact that an unethical business model can be successful doesn't matter. We should reject it and figure out whatever else we have to do to get by.
The first one is at least kind of responsive. I can zoom in my web browser and get a text size that I'm comfortable with.

On GitHub, I vastly prefer the mobile site. Unfortunately you have to spoof your user-agent to get at it on desktop.

I use a lot of mobile versions of sites, even on desktop. They're usually much better for me. To a large extent because they're simpler. Even news sites tend to have mobile versions that are somewhat human-friendly, easy to understand, fast to load, etc.

Who knows why the built-in Git web UI is so abstruse? Whatever the reasons, they have nothing to do with Javascript, Flash, or even really CSS. A skilled and dedicated designer or typographer could certainly come up with a simple text-based layout that conveys the necessary information, if that were the restriction. Probably git's web UI is not the result of professional designers?

Yes, that one. It comes with a driver program using the Boost.Test framework that allows you to change the range and fix the values at the interval ends if that is an objective.

Their framework does not allow you to arbitrarily fix internal values, as per your spec however.
That's not a contradiction. He says "someone signed up an account in my name, it's not me" and "I happen to now that G+ has certain rules, and I don't like them" and incidentally the rules prohibit someone from impersonating him on G+, but that doesn't mean the rules have perfect enforcement.

> We still don't culturally embrace alcohol as a good thing. You don't see the states advertising vodka like they advertise the lottery.

I'm having a hard time with this. Something doesn't have to be endorsed by the state to be culturally embraced, which seems to be what I'm understanding when I view both sentences in tandem. Apologies if I'm getting that wrong.

But if I view the first sentence in isolation:

> We still don't culturally embrace alcohol as a good thing.

I'm still baffled, but for different reasons. Alcohol is endorsed, celebrated, and embraced from top to bottom in nearly all corners of contemporary society. It's served nearly everywhere, consuming it is the cultural norm, not consuming it is viewed with suspicion, it's lauded as being crucial to one's enjoyment of an evening, social gathering, sporting event, flight, etc. Entire business models exist that would otherwise be unprofitable if not for alcohol sales. Many establishments are essentially loss leaders but for their alcohol sales (which are supposedly tangential to their primary business offering).

2.5 million deaths are alcohol-related every year. It's a factor in 40% of all violent crimes. 24% of incidents involving police have alcohol as a factor.

And yet, sit around at dinner with a group of guys and order a soft drink, and it's often viewed as abnormal behavior.

Why? Because, for reasons passing understanding, we culturally embrace alcohol as a good thing.
Yeah, it says "a" conviction, and we all are (or should be) aware that arrests occur much more frequently than guilt.
How does it clean you properly with just water? Surely you would need to use soap and use your hand, which doesn't seem to be very sanitary...

EDIT: there's no need to downvote...I was simply asking a question, as I've never used a bidet. However in my experience, it's not possible to remove all the poop simply using a shower...soap and hand action is also required. I'm curious about how the spray can clean you properly.
People that are arguing to treat popularity as the primary metric by which to gauge quality and importance of content are doing two things:

a) being dishonest

b) performing an active disservice for the human-race.

To address point a: Take Gawker - it's popular, ok, maybe Gawker is just as good as a well-written article, I'm sure there are at least a few people that would argue that; but eventually that argument reaches a dead-end - you might never want to read an academic paper, but you're probably damn glad someone wrote it if only for the scientific advances which provide for your material comfort. You might prefer to watch a sitcom, to reading about economic policy, but you probably would prefer the president should do the later.

That is no matter how people may argue (e.g. Why is a Video Game any less a work of art than Shakespeare play) the kind of absolutist-populist position, they will eventually back-pedal on that argument when you run it out to its furthest point, I mean hell Hitler was resoundingly popular, and so was slavery in the South.

Since it's on topic consider RMS - he's rather a secular nut now -- and that's after NSA/Snowden revelations -- 20 years ago he must have appeared as a complete crackhead (the new printer at MIT was closed-source and I decided I could no longer participate in that [not-verbatim]) to 99.9% people and significantly less-popular than idk: Tele-Evangelists, who probably have much more compelling presentation and better websites and public image.

The active disservice part is where people that don't want to be educated, and don't want to read, and would rather watch a sitcom (there is nothing wrong with these in an of themselves) argue and promote their intellectual laziness and ignorance as important values, and accuse those who disagree of being out-dated, elitist, or whatever other such bullshit.

I understand how one might use sys.stdout.write, but the reasons for doing so are kind of rare. When you're pressed for time to reverse the security protocols and escape, ensuring backwards/forwards compatibility seems like a low priority.
Plus, it's quite possibly the other way around much of the time: the depressed person, in a desire to understand and/or explain their depression, designates something as the 'root cause' and acts accordingly (clamming up, etc.).

Chalkwords – Change someone's day
The rUK never had a say in it - this point is kinda where things are right now. As of 2011 census the population of Yorkshire, as an example, was just marginally higher than the population of Scotland. Except Scottish people get more money from the treasury and their MPs got to vote on what happens in Yorkshire, the converse largely not being true. It wasn't until the referendum that this situation got the spotlight.

Nonetheless I think in general, as a UK citizen myself, that the British (ie UK citizens, the nomenclature gets convoluted!) consider the Union to be central to UK strength as a nation in terms of society and business and much else (education, sport, language, identity, history, position on the world stage, defence, ...).

Dissent grows though - once the Pandora's Box of the West Lothian Question had been opened and it started to sink in, and we saw that many in Scotland wanted to ditch the rest of the UK and make a run with what they perceived to be vital resources, that I feel rather unsettled people. Why shouldn't the rUK have voted at the same time whether to kick Scotland out of the Union too - that would have only been fair.

Her Majesties government certainly made efforts to retain Scotland in the Union, that could well be key.
