The biggest safety problem with MJ is (as the original article hinted) the tendency in some people (especially teenagers) to increase the probability of them developing psychosis. This is why it is so apples to oranges. Yes, there are carci

I don't use dropbox at all? To me it is a great solution for consumers but my needs are different. I use git + standard unix tools. For backup I use tarsnap. It rocks.

I don't understand. You can easily cut a branch commit. Push the branch. Pull the branch finish it. Commit. (optionally rebase). Delete the temporary branch. Git handles this problem very well.

Based on the tables in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_raising_a_child for the US. I estimated that the cost of raising 2.5 children for 22 years (up to 18 plus college) as nearly $1.4 million. This may be low balling it if you inves

I also highly recommend "Semantics with Applications" by Nielson and Nielson. I read it this January and it is an excellent book. It is very approachable for someone with only the lightest background in formal methods. If you are looking fo

I think the python people made a few choices which prevented some of the problems: 1) It is very clear which version trees will accept new language features vs. libraries vs. bug fixes. 2.7.x for instance generally only gets bug fixes at th

The AP (Advanced Placement Exam)^ is taught in Java. Before it was in Java it was in C++. A lot of schools had C++ intro courses because of this. When the AP switched most switched to Java. It isn't the right language in my opinion for an i

Thanks. It was totally unclear from the original article that it was in anyway actually a bad actor. It seems like these types of hosts are double edged swords.

Can you also describe exactly what the connection between CyberBunker and the attack is. Is there any indication that the hosting company is actually involved? It seems dubious but of course there are defunct hosting companies that have don

Seriously. It is becomes super productive once you realize you can just use a mouse for things you have trouble remembering (resizing windows was one that I always look in the docs for). Then one day you realize you can use a mouse with vim

Even when there is surplus income in an inflationary system it makes zero sense to save it outside of an inflation protected vehicle. It makes more sense to simply spend it and borrow when you are short. This isn't "ill will." It is a natur

Well, why are we in this current situation? Because at the margin at very low income levels it makes more sense to borrow than save. However, in a deflationary system it makes more sense to save than borrow. QED

Question for the community: How do people feel about open source projects asking for payment for features? It seems to me that is could be a reasonable request. It seems presumptuous to ask a random person on the internet to do work for you

This is completely true. It is indeed well known and common wisdom. However, I think the point the parent was trying to make is: Python is much slower than C and many other languages, however most of the time speed is unimportant. When it b
