skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
This article leaves out or does not stress enough some important information:
_How long was the experiment conducted for?
_How many people have been monitored after the experiment?
_Did the people go back to the previous diet, once the experiment was over?

To the first question, one can find hidden in the article: "Willett faulted the experiment because many of the patients were on the special diets for relatively brief periods - many were being released from the mental institutions. But about a quarter of the patients remained on the diet for a year or longer".

If people stayed on this diet for a year or so max of their 65+ years of life, this data seems utterly non-relevant to support either thesis. It is fundamental to know if the people (and how many) continued with the new diet for a sizable portion of their life. In any case the results should at least not include people that have been on the diet for just a couple of months.

It is hard to believe that a diet of low fat for just a random year in somebody's life (~1.5% of life span) would make a big difference against the remaining 98% of life spent eating fat. The question whether a low fat diet is better than a high fat one is very intriguing, but this data, as presented in the article, seem inconclusive.
Yeah, I made that post out of frustration. After that post I start putting personal and borrowed money into it that I couldn't afford to lose at the time, and nothing came of it. Complete stonewall. The additional details I offered above (the transfer of the IP to a different company bearing a similar name etc) came out as a result of the legal leg work that was done, but I couldn't afford to pursue it further, and now the statue of limitations has long passed.

So yeah I wasn't going to name names, but since you posted this old link, in my opinion, no one should ever do business with Allan Camaisa. He is the CEO of a different tech startup today in the mobile space, and I can only assume he is screwing people both inside and outside the company in the same way and possibly new and improved ways.

If you would like to see the ire this guy inspires in business associates, look no further than http://eyevelocity.com . This was a dot com era implosion that he was the CEO of. Allan blew through $40 million of "smart" money - Intel Capital, Chase H&Q, etc. and the company went bankrupt. A spurned employee bought the old domain and 15 years after they blew up is apparently still bitter based on the home page lol (HTS was the parent company of Eyevelocity). His very next venture after that disaster was the one we started together.

Ouch. Microsoft handles it a little worse than Google. From the "Disclosure" section:

> We notified Microsoft about the security and
privacy risks of short OneDrive URLs on May 28, 2015. [...] “Brian” from Microsoft’s Security Response Center
(MSRC) informed us on August 1, 2015, that the ability
to share documents via short URLs “appears by design,”
and thus “does not currently warrant an MSRC case.” [...] Microsoft changed the API
so that the account traversal methodology [...] no longer appears to work.
As of this writing, all previously generated short
OneDrive URLs remain vulnerable to scanning and malware injection.

> We notified Google about the privacy risks
of short Google Maps URLs on September 15, 2015.
Google promptly responded to our report. As of September 21, 2015, newly created short URLs to Google Maps
have 11 or 12-character tokens and are thus not vulnera-
ble to brute-force scanning.

Correct me if I'm wrong: Sketch to mobile app is just what Photoshop did (does?) to Web design right? I mean, last time we used to draw websites in Photoshop, "slice" it and slap into HTML. We stop doing that because (I think) people just prefer to code html directly. What is the utility of Sketch then? Can't you just use UI designer from XCode/Android Studio?

I understand that you used to have to install a separate version of Docker to access this feature, but does the change in 1.11 also mean you no longer have to set the DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST environment variable, or will that be made default at a later time?
just fork the repo.
SDV proves properties that are in general undecidable, and as such it is not possible to substitute the Rust type checker for it. The critical difference is that software verification algorithms are allowed to be partial (i.e. not terminate or return "unknown"), while type checking algorithms are required to be total.

Edit: Another way to look at it is that software verification tools find proofs for properties, while type checkers only verify proofs (given as the program structure and type annotations).
>It's hard to escape the fact that, on average, our ethical circle has only expanded and not contracted. That animals should one day be inside this circle seems inevitable.

I'd say it has mostly changed with added hypocrisy. The 20th century saw more bloodshed (and from supposedly developed western countries) than any other century in history. And the 21st is off to a good start, sarcastically speaking.
Yeah, without a doubt. Some of the best devs I've worked with don't have degrees.

I have a CS degree, and in my own personal view, I think that a degree is extremely helpful. With that being said, your average degree doesn't teach you how to be a great developer, nor should it. Programming is a vocational task, and while there is a ton of theory that can help you out, there is no substitute for experience.

With that being said, a lot of people on here say that a GitHub profile will help you get hired. I'm not so sure, especially when you're dealing with your typical non-tech company looking to hire a developer. The underlying idea that experience trumps education is valid in the workplace. I've worked with Oxbridge graduates that can't write code for shit, and UWE graduates single-handedly build great tools being used by millions every day.

Where I disagree is with the idea that a few small projects on GitHub can show that you work well on large projects, or as part of a team. The only thing that can reliably do that is experience, and naturally you won't get to flaunt the code you've written for a previous employer. If you want to move to the US, get some paid work in Russia. It doesn't need to be ground-breaking, or even a huge project; something you can write on your CV/Resume that says "I've written code professionally".

My advice is everything in moderation. Get enough education. Write enough open-source code to show that you can write something non-trivial. Get enough experience to show that you are capable of working as a professional developer.
I like their fallback though :P

No. Retail investors don't have the opportunity to scrutinize the company's records beyond what is publicly availbale, to take up references, or to meet with the management team. The VCs and funds investing in late-stage private companies do have these options. They can do as much, or as little, due-diligence as they like. And not just because they can demand things as a condition of the investment, but because it's perfectly reasonable to spend $50,000 on a couple of expert technical opinions when you're investing $1m+ but unfeasible if you're putting in $30k of life savings.
I guess Bucklescript aims at a smoother integration with the JS ecosystem, which means binding to existing frameworks rather than creating new ones (such as tyxml or Eliom). These are different approaches which make sense for different target audiences.

That said, it is also quite easy to bind to the JS world with js_of_ocaml and nothing forces you to rely on tyxml or Eliom. You can use either the FFI which comes with js_of_ocaml, or gen_js_api ( https://github.com/LexiFi/gen_js_api ) which we have created to abstract OCaml/JS bindings from the underlying OCaml->JS compilation technology (we hope that Buckescript will support gen_js_api). The web client-side frontend of my company is using exclusively gen_js_api + the js_of_ocaml compiler (but not its FFI nor its standard library), which should make it straightforward to port to Buckescript at some point if the need arise.
Or, alternatively:

1. Tag your release with `git tag -s`

2. `git push --follow-tags` (or `git push remotename tagname` in git <1.8.3)

3. Upload your pubkey to github.

Much less effort…
For struct's at least, the answer would be to use an interface method which exposes the key field you want to use. This would be type-safe - you wouldn't be able to pass a non-conforming struct to the sorter.

EDIT: I'd argue what we need in Go is something like a type-class for interfaces, so we can match on fieldsets the struct contains, and not just methods.
Fully agreed. I'm not settled either way, I only hope it all gets better.

You forgot that most of golangers are ex-php programmers and students with no experience. Just look at what they're talking about: they think generics are the opposite of simplicity and can make performance and compilation time worse. Meanwhile, Nim has generics with other useful features and has faster compilation time along with better optimization. If google would put 'goto' into go golangers would still use it anyway.

I've tried go a few times and it was full with repetition and boilerplate - felt like java 1.0. It seems like new coders like to repeat themselves more often than learn how to use proven concepts.

> It's not even clear to me that there's any overhead to the Rust version.

There is a slight bit of stack overhead: Option<ForkResult> is at least {tag:u8, {tag:u8, pid:i32}}, and due to alignment constraints it's actually {tag: u32, {tag: u32, pid: i32 }}). A nonzero wrapper[0] would allow folding either ForkResult or Option into a 0-valued pid_t and remove one level of tagging: http://is.gd/yxStW1

Beyond that you'd need generalised enum folding in order to fold two tags into the underlying value (you'd denote that pid_t is nonzero and nonnegative for instance)

I feel it needs pointing out that the savant-stereotype surrounding autism still needs taming a little.

Autism can make the lives of some sufferers extremely difficult, and also those of their carers. We all know this, yet the typical response to 'my child is autistic' is an assumption, often verbalised, that that child would 'at least' be good at mathematics, music or 'computers'. Sometimes they are not.

It's similar to how the terms low- and high-functioning are not particularly helpful in most cases [0]. In general I think we need to become a little more nuanced in our approach to autism.

Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate is not recommended for business level websites, as it is limited for domain validation only.

It’s depends on you. If you have a small website just go with domain validated SSL Certificate which start under $5.

If you have an eCommerce based website, then go with Organization Validation (available under $30) or EV SSL Certificate (available at $99).

I would recommend CheapSSLSecurity (https://cheapsslsecurity.com/) where you can get your choice SSL Certificate at lowest price with instant technical support.

They encouraged their staff members to threaten to quit unless Musk was replaced. He was, in September 2000–by Thiel."

So it's 16'c with a light cloud cover until 1pm, clear until 4pm after which it gets a little cloudy again, some rain between 11pm and 7am, which is very light and heaviest around 2am.

Could be, but it could also have not much (nothing?) to do with hardware.

Anecdotal: back in the late 90s, or early 00s, unlike now, the pc hardware got old really fast in terms of performance. Unlike a classmate of mine I didn't keep up with hardware changes. When I bought my hardware and played games they ran really good, but after a while my pc was not fast enough even for low graphic settings, and the games stuttered really strong with fps probably below 30 fps and around the 20 fps mark (only a guess). At first this was horrible compared to the smoothness of playing games directly after buying the new pc, but after a while I got used to it and couldn't understand why my classmate (which kept up with the new hardware that came out) could not stand to play games on my pc. Later I bought a new pc and could play the games with smooth fps again. When I now played games on slow hardware I could not stand it, just like my classmate before.

Maybe this is (in some cases) also the case with people who have no problems with the performance of Atom.

Personally I also find the performance of Atom could be better (on both Windows and Linux) with a 5820k @ 4Ghz, 32 GByte Ram and installed on a SSD (Crucial MX 100/512 GByte). But I only try it from time to time to see how much better it got compared to my previous try.

I've been using Sketch for a year and a half and I don't encounter too many bugs or crashes that would affect my workflow. It was buggier maybe a year ago but now I find it ok.

I used the latest version of Illustrator recently to create a HTML theme from a design and I'm amazed at how little has changed - no exporting 1x/2x images without a script, no exporting of layers, editing a slice requires going to Object > Slice > Options in the drop down menus.

If only. That's by far my biggest irk with GitHub releases because they only use the tag as name for the tarball (e.g. v0.4.tar.gz). Building RPM packages with those tarballs is a bit of a pain because RPM building tools expect all tarballs in one directory and you don't know which tarball belongs to which software. Maybe I'm just being ignorant here.

As long as programmers that are comfortable with (and prefer) 30+/40+ year old PL paradigms are at the helm of Go's design, it's not very likely the language will grow Generics.
