I was involved with one of those UML -> Code systems back in the early 2000's. It was company called Nuevis. I had proposed a simple CMS to be written in ASP (or maybe Cold Fusion). We had a project plan, requirements and design documents and developers ready to start. Some architect said we would be the perfect use case to test this new technology.

We met with them, licensed their system and began to make UML. After several weeks we started to generate code, but it wouldn't run. Several more weeks and we had running code, but were missing key functional requirements. We pulled the plug after 6 months. It turns out that UML class and state diagrams are just not robust enough to explain specific functional details. The system generated thousands of lines of code to do simple things.

We ended up writing it ourselves in ASP, it took us about 3 weeks to code everything.

Nuevis went out of business in the original dot-com bust.

Not just Scheme, but given how important metaprogramming is to Python, I was hoping there would be more Lisp dialects in the list.
I'd be happy to wait for fusion, if catastrophic climate change were not bearing down on us like a freight train.

And also if coal were not killing many thousands of people every year, and we didn't have so many large dams past their designed lifespan.

It's sad that people thought it was real, forget about lasers and stuff it's basic common sense.

A AAA battery doesn't store enough power to drive a laser capable of burning hair for any reasonable amount of time.

When the laser isn't interrupted by the hair it has to go some where which means that heat is produced, if it can get something hot enough to burn the hair off it would get hot enough that you won't be able to hold it yet alone put it to your face.

There's no way you would ever could get the laser beam close enough to the skin for a smooth shave without burning your skin off.

And most importantly burnt hair smells like shit....

P.S.
I assume that most people know at least 1 person that did laser hair removal, they should know it's a very painful and long process and it works only on dark hairs so again using this to shave anything but a fairly dark beard would never work.

The question was around the Washington Post's political standing not the BBC's.

I wasn't implying anything about the reporting accuracy just commenting on the difference - it turns out less than I originally thought.

Some problems with the report is that it was written by Dutch and Ukrainian people, which might not be totally objective. Additionally, large parts of the report isn't open for everyone to see. I think it's strange to accept a conclusion without being able to see everything that caused the researches to come to their conclusion. Finally, when the report was revealed the press wasn't allowed to ask any questions.

TL;DR: We're making some changes to the company. We're firing the 336 of you we don't need anymore. Thanks for your work.

Everything else is fluff. But I guess they have to sugar-coat it a bit with "utmost respect" and "tough decision".
Not having lived it, its easy to ignore the corrosive environment. Sure a woman can survive being talked over in conversation. She can ignore being asked to get coffee every time there's a staff meeting. She can remind her boss to consider her for promotion every year.

But to weather that and more (so much more) every day, 100 times a day for 20 years is a chore. It wears you down, burns you out, leaves you hating going to work. So women opt out, do something else.

Rather than arguing fault, and throwing around irresponsible comments about how small an issue it is, I recommend listening to those having the problem, and working honestly to address personal issues. Like dismissing women's opinions out of hand, because hey! you don't have any problem with all that.
Ah. I think you're drawing a reasonable distinction.

Though I certainly wouldn't say everyone (or even most) need to find it funny to "sound like a joke" in the sense you meant. Surely, there are bad jokes that sound like bad jokes. I think it's probably correct to say that most should "immediately know it is a joke".

All of that said, whether that's likely to be the case in this instance depends on a lot of context that wasn't specified.
Your guidelines are egregiously messed up then. The original comment was far more offensive (and infinitely less substantial).

Your remarks and actions are also unjustified. Which part of my comment did you find uncivil or unsubstantial? Which guideline did I break?

Also, my comment is a direct (and the only correct) answer to the question that was posed in the parent comment, so why did you mark it off-topic?

If one has to use their laptop/desktop out in the sun (and in a fixed position), or under non controlled light, then a non-glossy is probably the better option.

Personally I love glossy screens. They get glare sometimes, under direct light, but nothing that an angle change can't fix. Besides I don't want to be using a laptop under direct light anyways -- and for a desktop which is used inside, that's a non issue.

Non glossy screens (which I started with), I now find smudgy and hazy, and with much worse (gray-ish) blacks.

I can think of a few reasons:

1) You can tailor the wireless protocol to exactly your needs, rather than using something general purpose. That can help things like battery life and latency.

2) You don't have to work with buggy Bluetooth hardware or drivers that you don't make, and your hardware works with any computer with USB. Bluetooth was not common on PCs for a long time, especially on the desktop.

3) You can ship your peripherals pre-paired with the receiver, which means users don't need to do any setup besides plugging the receiver in.
Team,

We're cutting 336 people from our workforce to strengthen the company.

We are deciding how to streamline Twitter, Vine, and Periscope to focus on projects with the greatest impact.

Moments, which we launched last week, is a great beginning. It's a peek into the future of discovery.

We'll offer each person a generous exit package and help finding a new job.

Engineering will be smaller but remain the biggest percentage of the organization, and other departments will be cut in parallel.

Thank you all for everything. As always, please reach out to me directly with anything.
From what I gather is that they want to really build something like a small city within the airport, which would be an attraction and people magnet in itself.

Plus there are building convention facilities, which may or may not fill the hotels.

A major problem that airport hotels will have in Zurich (including the Radisson Blu) is that the airport is a 10 minute train ride from the city center. Unless you have to be at the airport around 5am, or you are coming from a different city an airport hotel doesn't really make that much sense for ZRH. And even then a taxi from town will be significantly cheaper; even at Zurich taxi prices.

That's quite different from CDG, or LHR which are relatively far from the city center (and relatively badly connected in the example of Paris), plus the fact that they are huge.

So an airport hotel at those places certainly makes more sense.

This is a good write up, but as I was reading it I started to realize the brilliant marketing behind it, and potentially why I buy some Apple products. I wouldn't buy the mouse because Apple made it sound perfect. I would buy the mouse because this article makes me see how much effort Apple puts into making their products the best they can be. Whether or not they are actually the best products is almost irrelevant after eliciting that emotion.

Yeah I guess that is pretty crazy. OTOH, there was a study of a virtual machine where someone filled RAM up with random opcodes and running the machine forward in time brought about self-replicating programs because of random self-copying sequences of opcodes. So maybe self-replication is simpler than we've been making it out to be?

http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/ai/The%20evolution%20of%20se...

(To be clear, the first "self-copying sequences" didn't look like self-replication in CoreWars or whatever, but evidently they did observe the construction of self-replicating programs over time.)

I really, really distrust these kinds of evaluations when they come from someone whose product is included in the comparison. Even if everything is above-board, they're not going to publish if it shows their product just completely sucks at it. That kind of publication bias makes these kinds of results a lot less trustworthy than independent benchmarks even if you assume the best of intentions from the people putting them out there.

Actually there are other problems that are caused by the fact that you're not really doing HOAS, but something even more difficult, namely trying to infer the function by passing in values.

For example

LJSON.stringify(function(v) { if (v == 0) { return "zero"; } else { return "one"; } })

Evaluates to the string

(function(v0){return "one"})

The only way to avoid both these issues, is to inspect the code of a function f using f.toString(). However you would need to consider the scope where f was defined.

The article explains that these items can unexpectedly shed light on historical questions, giving as an example a letter from Marat that seemed to demonstrate he was not in an English prison at a time when most historians thought he was.

Items in archives are like fossils: remarkably rare, incredibly personal to the entity involved, but potentially of great import to the rest of us because of what we can learn from them.

I admit I'm a little tone-deaf and didn't notice any hyperbolic language, but I would encourage you to give the article another chance.

Ask HN: How to represent patient medical data?
Hi HN,

I have been thinking about how to represent patient medical data for an application to monitor and evaluate patient treatments, the system has to have many different stakeholders such as carers, patients, relatives, specialists who can all interact with the system on different levels: such as seeing which part of the medical records were modified by who, who has permission to access the different parts. I was wondering if you knew about any open source solutions for this problem or what tools would you tackle it with?

I was thinking about using git to track diffs on each patients medical data and visualising the git representation in a way to hide what it is built on. I wouldn't like to reinvent the wheel so I am curious about your experiences!

Thanks,

I wonder how future research will be affected by this. Say every child gets their connectome mapped when they start school to get placed in the best type of learning environment for them (auditory, visual etc.). Presumably, within the data of that same scan, there will also be information about whether that kid is violent etc. This will simply not be part of the analysis for learning environment matching. But, the information will be there as soon as the research to figure out what types of connectome patterns indicate a pre-disposition to X is peer reviewed and published.

So, do we choose not to conduct research on certain subjects so that this process can be safely used for more benign purposes? Or, do we have really strict rules about what types of analyses can be done with a given scan? With attending rules about deleting scan data after it has been analysed for the intended purpose? Or something else entirely?

I've got my monitors on 2 boxes adding about 6 inches each to their height. When I first started looking up to use them it was so uncomfortable and distracting that I could not work. I kept at it though and I find my posture has improved and the thought of going back is now uncomfortable.

I also recommend the following exercises which have improved my posture such that people have been saying that I look taller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTV6UCh-yhs I have been doing them against my wall when I have 5 minutes to wait for a build or in the shower when I'm rinsing off.
I wonder if the Magic Mouse 2 feels different, or has anything different other than an internal battery (which to me is a drawback...right now I just use my own rechargeables that I can easily replace and continue using my mouse without having it plugged in to anything). As for the dimensions...it sounds like it is smaller...also a negative as it MM1 feels on the small side IMHO. But the 'features' in MM2 look to be the same as MM1...just a more expensive refresh.

The entire article is a marketing piece. The mouse is just a diversion.

For what it's worth, on my old Apple mouse, the battery lid frequently falls off. It's so annoying that I don't use it any more. This is an issue that has apparently been fixed as well.

And laser hair removal doesn't even destroy the hairs, it uses the hairs to transmit heat to the hair follicles to destroy those. Destroying the hairs themselves would require even more energy.

If you expect this to grow into a huge platform, as in completely replace LinkedIn, use Django, if not, use MeteorJS.

thanks, that kind of info is useful to me.
I've done laser hair removal, and while it does hurt like a bitch, and does only work on dark hairs, the claims were that the razor would use a wavelength that targeted all hair (I don't know enough to say that's not plausible), and presumably they'd use a short enough focal length to only hit exposed hair, rather than the normal method of focusing on the hair below the surface.

Doesn't get around the smell, power requirement, or heat output though.
Usually in a situation like this you want to cut hard and deep just the once. Every time you make cuts the entire workforce is on knife edge (excuse the pun), so it's best to do one round and get it out of the way so everyone can refocus on their work.

That's a long way of saying I doubt there are more layoffs planned. That's not to say they won't make more layoffs if they don't get their shit together.

Ask HN: MacBook Pro 13 or 15 inches?
I'm a programmer, computer science student and hobby photographer. I'm going to buy a new notebook and my choice is going to be between these 2 devices:

1. MacBook Pro Retina 15 inches base model (16gb ram, 2.2 quadcore i7)
2. MacBook Pro Retina 13 inches, middle model with 256gb of disk with 16gb of ram (instead of 8) and 3.1 dual core i7

The price is exactly the same, so the choice depends mostly on the screen and the processor.

1. I want it to be a long term investment (provided it doens't break) so performances should remain decent for several years
2. What I do, mostly, is web browsing, NodeJS development in my spare time and C/Python at college. Plus, not very often, I work on RAW files from my nikon, but nothing big

I tried both and I don't think the 13 inches screen is going to be a problem for me, I'm more worried about the 3.1ghz dual core i7 vs the 2.2 quad core i7 of the 15 inches. Do you think there's such a great difference between these two processor? In particular considering that the notebook should last as long as possible.

Regarding the 15 inches, do you think it's too big/heavy to use comfortably on the go / small college desks?

I'm at the point where I think I'm going to flip a coin to get a decision so any advice is very welcomed

Thanks
