Suitability of Tcl/Tk depends on what the goal is. For some applications, like utilities, GUI access to CLI tools, form-based data entry, etc., Tk is fine. It isn't a good option for a sophisticated drawing program, and I would

IIRC the FBSD init is derived from NetBSD, though diverged since early 2000's. There's a FSBD project to integrate OpenRC, and it's pretty far along. I think the objective is to replace the current init system with the more

Very important questions indeed, while there's no complete answer some data is encouraging. Imaging studies, for example, have shown children treated continuously to early adulthood show more robust brain development (white fiber trac

The marital issues most frequently revolve around the affected partner (if there is only one) acting in disorganized, ineffective, irresponsible ways in the view of the unaffected spouse or partner. A frequent pattern is that the "norm

This whole subject is challenging, believe I know! :) The correlation is between diagnosis of ADHD and outcome parameter. IOW among adults with ADHD divorce rate is much higher, IIRC around 2 times the non-affected population rate. The &qu

In general longitudinal studies demonstrate that hyperactive symptoms typically attenuate by early adulthood, but inattention is much more likely to persist. Reports vary somewhat, but around 1/2 of childhood cases remain diagnosab

Some of these questions have been studied. When the same criteria are used, prevalence is comparable in Germany, Brazil and other locations. The recognition of the condition is affected by cultural factors but that's true for many

Since I've had the responsibility of managing the treatment of at least a thousand adults and adolescents with ADHD, it's a subject I've studied quite a bit. And as the medical literature attests ADHD is probably among the m

I assume the idea would be to condense the steam as distilled water, and feed the brine back into the brackish water source. Probably the engineering challenges would be getting the salt water into the evaporator, collecting and condensing

It's a worthy subject, that interests me from in both its computational and behavioral aspects. As is the case in most applications of computing, the crucial aspect is the "match" between the model and the domain being model

This is completely unsurprising. Like all other disciplines, behavioral health is subject to trends and the glitter of the "new things". We've seen this regarding initial enthusiasm for new medical procedures or medications

Not quite sure what recklessness you are referring to. If necessary, the exception is only for the one directory the EXE is in. IIRC the program isn't really installed, it just needs to run once to make changes in firewall rules, etc

Long story, but my Surface Pro 2 wound up with Win10 Pro. The Pro version is slightly more configurable for privacy than Home, but only the Enterprise version can completely turn off the telemetry and so on. Of course Enterprise is not

Yup. An experimental treatment is probably not even available to be prescribed, besides it's ethically questionable to use a treatment when the risks (or benefits) haven't been clearly delineated. Even if it could be used, a re

Obviously I don't know all the details of the case but I find it troublesome that a psychiatrist would render an opinion without examining the individual who is the object of the opinion. On its face this is unethical particularly in a

Yes of course you are right that an "artificial neuron" wouldn't (and can't) correspond 1:1 to a biological unit. Main point isn't about aging or degradation because these system characteristics will vary with the

The article looks at an issue I think about quite often and occasionally have a chance to discuss. The complexity of real-world natural systems is at a magnitude that's hard to grasp and harder to describe. AI, as an attempt to repli

Yes, "pkg search <pkg name>" generates list of available matching packages. "pkg search -f <pkg name>" will give salient pkg info in a multi-line format. Use "pkg help search" to pull up the man p

The "user quality" associated with FBSD may be "higher", though it's a hard parameter to measure. Worth considering if the user quality has something to do with properties of FBSD itself vs. user characteristics. Si

Well, it appears to be policy in evolution. I based my comment on what Trump has said in his most recent appearances, and quite credibly that's not yet reflected in the online published material. Realistically campaigns of all stripes

It's not a theoretical issue, and not limited to RO water supplies. Here in Portland Oregon the municipal water source is Bull Run Watershed high up in the foothills of Mt. Hood, some 26 miles east of downtown. The collected water is

Don't know of course, though it appears to be a "diverse" group who worked on the project. The salient point is Trump has made it clear he was talking about illegal entrants and delaying entry for individuals coming from

I think what was meant is that a giant bookstore like Powell's sells many times the number of books compared to small "hole in the wall" shops. I happen to live in Portland not far from Powell's main store, which is hug

I'm pretty familiar with Tcl/Tk but not entirely clear what you mean about Tcl/Tk and OOP. It seemed like you said the Tk container hierarchy was the model that OOP platforms copied. I'd agree that Tk's widget mode

I recall that "plastic" was so named because of the material's formability. Thermoplastics soften or liquefy when heated, becoming malleable and can be molded or extruded, retaining shape when cooled. Thermosetting types are

My father had mostly worked on larger projects, like tract houses and the like. Of course, times change, my recollection was of how things were a long time ago. My comment was just illustrating an instance where relying on a text descript

An interesting angle on the topic comes from my father who at one time was a project manager and designer in the construction industry. In the days before computers he would painstakingly hand-draw the design that was reproduced as bluepri

This is vaguely reminiscent of Drakon, which has been around a long time, but AFAIK hasn't made much of a dent in the programming world, at least outside of Russia. A couple of years ago I was trying to do something with the visual la

There is a considerable interest in California re: what Israel has done to conserve and increase its water supply. Israeli technology is likely applicable to California's water supply issues and cooperative ventures should be fruitful

Goethe was a figure I was introduced to in college courses, but that was a long time ago. The article was a good reminder of the absolute depth of genius he represented, and makes me interested in exploring the work again. Mastering severa
