>People say that because 1 bad hire can have negative effects on the whole team, causing others to get less done and leave. Missing a good hire doesn't poison your team.

That doesn't disprove what he said. In fact it strengthens it and makes missing a good hire even worse, because, as he said missing good hires -> MORE change of bad hires (that can "poison your team").

In other words, it's not a choice: "I'm better of rejecting a good hire than getting a bad one, because a bad one could poison the team".

By rejecting good ones, who're actually getting MORE bad ones. So it should be corrected to:

"I'm better of NOT rejecting good hires, or else I'll get more bad hires and poison my team".

I've had a similar experience. Taking SSRIs (Sertraline, initially 50mg/daily, now 100mg/daily) for social phobia and depression. They definitely helped increase my baseline for positive feelings (i.e., I don't spend as many days curled up in bed feeling hopeless), but it's true that it brings down other aspects of life. Decreased sexual function, loss of emotion in other areas, stuff like that.

I wonder whether serotonin is really the magic trick to increasing moods or whether it's just a stop-gap solution that works well enough for most.

They can't make kale taste as good as chocolate cake without lacing it with drugs for a very good reason: A large part of our response to foods like chocolate cake has nothing to do with the actual taste, but with how the affect your brain chemistry.

A typical extreme example of this is if you drink a glass of coke when you're full vs. when you have low blood sugar. The subjective taste experience is drastically different.

It'd be amazing if we could make foods that were better for us trigger the same responses, but that will almost certainly either require making us take drugs, or lace those foods with drugs.

I had to google if this could still be called journalism. My assumption was right Mr. Kirkpatrick not a journalist nor a writer[0].

There isn't a single fact besides propaganda in this article. To call the culture of r-selection "fearless" is over simplifying and lacks foundation. Everything else is well known and touched very superficial and often concluded wrong by the author. No facts, no statistics, nothing.

We did similar projects as part of our ECE degree. In general we would start with boolean algebra and logic design, then proceed to computer organization and last to computer architecture (one semester each).

Your project would be at the computer organization level. IIRC adding a pipeline would move it to computer architecture level.

I understand that reading outside a class may be a bit boring, but these courses gave us a much better understanding of key concepts and issues; from basic boolean operations (i.e how to do them right, how to optimize them), to basic concepts (e.g. 2's complement, base-2 arithmetic, FSMs, flip-flops), to more advanced concepts (e.g complex logical components, datapath, control), to various issues (e.g hazards, async / sync design), etc (i.e all these you probably won't implement as cache, OoO execution, virtual memory).

Knowing —to a certain degree— all these made the project easier and much more fun since we could actually have crazy ideas and try to implement them.

I don't know the current state of literature, but when I took the courses (12 years ago) the Patterson and Hennessy books (Computer Organization and Design, Computer Architecture) were terrific.
I agree that renaming symbols would still save a few more bytes, but I still think that with the right file format, symbol renaming and mangling would become an insignificant, unnecessary micro-optimization.

Thanks, I'll read your references, but there are two general points to make:

1. Memory with very clear lifespan is obviously easier to manage without a GC.

2. The fact that GCs are a performance issue, does not mean that using a non-GC environment would yield better performance. It is often easier to avoid GC in GCed environments than to handle concurrent access to data in non-GC environments.
Cool! But some ideas to make it even better:

* Support distinction between compatibility and core profiles. As is, it looks like GL3 is compatibility and GL4 is core.

* For GL4, show the version which introduced the feature (e.g., GL4.2). For GL3 and earlier I don't care.

* Allow compatibility functions to be filtered out entirely. I don't want glLightModel() or other old fixed-function stuff cluttering up the screen.

* GLSL 3.

* Minor cheat sheet showing differences between, say, GLSL 120, 330, and 4x0. For example, 120 has "attribute" and "varying", while 330 has "in" and "out".

I recommend that everyone use the compiler to help avoid functions and constants from later versions of OpenGL, if you are targeting old versions. For example, if you are targeting 3.3, then you can either use a header file that only defines 3.3, or you can use a header file that puts functions and constants in a namespace (e.g. "using namespace gl_3_3;").

Well, gzip is general purpose. A binary format would be aware of JS' semantics and possibly yield much higher compression rates.

> With macros you've got a compiler support for anything you can imagine.

Most of what you can imagine isn't useful or maintainable. Good tools should have more structure to guide you.

> And with macros you implement your DSLs as compilers, not interpreters

I'm not suggesting interpreters. If anything I'd say that macros - running arbitrary code at compile time - are more interpreterlike than what I'm describing.

> it's using generics (i.e., poor man macros)

Well if you're going to define every useful language feature as "macros" then of course you need macros to implement anything! But most of us consider generics to be different from macros.
great questions.

1) we check you out. this is how we know you don't know the other people and what you're interested in (at least at a basic level). we found filling this kind of info out makes people even more weirded out, since it's more dating style and so we do what we can in the background instead. after the dinner, we make sure you had a good time, and if not, try to figure out how we can change your dinners so that you have a great time.

2) awesome, based on the responses we've gotten so far, you're not alone.

3) we always plan a full meal. that is, if somebody from the table we'd planned can't go, we fill it with someone else. if someone says they'll attend and cancels, we email them and let them know that we have a three strike cancellation policy. it's not fair to others when they cancel and we have a low tolerance for that.

dont mess with hardware if you can fix it in software

that study is an example of a horribe broad brush approach that gets pursued because its a low hanging fruit. physcial quantities are easier to objectively measure and present and subsequently selling tanglible pills is more marketable and controllable

you can influence your neurotransmitters, endocrine system, and behaviour with thoughts and habits, for example: fantasize porn, your passion projects, see what people see when they see you, first person view in a roller coaster, check out youtube climbing scaling radio towers and skyscrapers, etc.. duh just about any engaging movie or book

manage your attention wisely

social phobia/anxiety arises from habitual limited perspective misinterpreting the environment. in some situations fear is appropriate healthy and helpful, the key solution is to notice the difference objectively

In biology a single causation is almost always wrong, especially in correlation between such distant phenomena - neurotransmitter and conditioned behavior. Well, excess of serotonin could lead to "anxiety" and physical discomfort from a slightest external pressure, as it seems to be with Asperger's, but it is a mere correlation, if correct at all, not a causation. Socially conditioned behavior is way more subtle and complicated phenomena than mere neurochemistry.

One thing that has become increasingly clear is that the simplistic "too much x" or "too little y" theory of
Mental illness as a "neurotransmitter imbalance" is flawed to the point of uselessness. Neurotransmitters certainly do
mediate synapse growth and activity, but the brain is a complex adaptive organ, and it will adapt to
modifications to neurotransmitter levels. This is why antidepressnts become less effective and require stronger doses, and why their sudden withdrawal leads to the massive exacerbation of symptoms. The problem isn't simply that patients "go off their meds". The problem is that meds stop working, and withdrawing them leaves the poor patient with a brain that was adapted to their presence suddenly unable to cope. The meds make the organic problem worse, but it dorsn't show until you withdraw them. We're still basically at the witch-doctor stage of "try it and see" with most if these drugs, with nothing like a proper pathology model or functional description of how the meds work to even do proper long-term studies.
