Javascript library/toolkit modularisation do not goes this way. Mout, async or lodash are using a proper scheme to require('just/thefuction/youneed') and it's fine (no rollup will ever be needed). Polluting npm with dozen of one-liner is not a good idea (never forget left-pad)

Thanks!

Yes he was DKA on diagnosis. It took them 4 days to figure that out too.

For us the CGM would be about getting rid of and/or minimizing the overnight blood checks. There's nothing more horrifying then sleeping through an alarm now. In fact, that just happened to me. Fell asleep on the couch, woke up two hours past his check, saying "oh fuck" a lot as I run around the house like a headless chicken.

The only CGM we can get out here is the medtronic enlite. Our pediatric endo in Singapore didn't have great things to say about it, which is why we started with the pump. The only pump available to us too is the medtronic series, which, to be honest, has been perfectly fine and man what a game changer. His numbers have really fallen into line since we switched from MDI.
That's coming, probably in the next week! :D
Wow, I didn't know gdb has built in reverse debugging or the Python interpreter. The reverse debugger looks awesome!

Excellent point; I had missed that. The 100x number isn't indicative of a free choice. On the other hand, that they took 7 years to add the feature still gives some sense of the relative demand.

From the deterministic comment IDs section it seems like the design allows a commenter to repeatedly update the timestamp of a comment they authored, which might be amusing:-

- Remember the "seed" value and submit a comment

- Wait for a reply to the comment and then submit the same comment again with the same seed

- Now one's comment appears later than its reply!
> Linux is still lacking

Linux isn't lacking it. It just has already decided on a specific shortcut. Do you also consider the absence of Ctrl-C to paste in Safari (in favour of Cmd-C) a lack?

At least on Linux terminal emulators you could always remap it (at your own peril, be careful about setting up another shortcut for the actual interrupt). Pre-Windows 10, OTOH...

Not sure. For n points on a sphere, you're trying to prove a global minimum a very bumpy function over 2n-dimensional space. It may become computationally intractable.
I've never seen a physics book that treats this using the zeta function, except popular articles that try to present this calculation as mysterious. In practice, in my QFT class we needed to compute the sum

lim \epsilon -> 0+ ( \sum_{n=1}^\infty n e^{- \epsilon n} + ...),

that is the series was multiplied by a decaying exponential function with a rate of decay that goes to zero. This sum can easily be evaluated for small epsilon takes the form

sum = 1/epsilon - 1/12 + O(epsilon).

The 1/epsilon term (which goes to infinity) drops out of the final physical result when you do the calculation properly.
In general, it's a sad state of affairs that these tools must exist in the first place.
Note that insulin is pretty temperature sensitive, and needs specialist shipping so that it doesn't end up boiling on a tarmac somewhere. That said, we found pump-compatible insulin on Phi-Phi Island in Thailand, so I expect insulin is possibly not the core issue.

The other things (like infusion sets) should be easy to ship. The UK suppliers generally won't sell them unless you have a UK pump and an account with them, though. It could probably be worked around though, using some sort of international forwarding arrangement.

Cheaper? Not sure. I recall a thread here once about using drones for agriculture where someone pointed out that they can rent out an aerial op over their fields (not sure whether it was spraying crops or just photographing the field with IR cameras and stuff) for less than it would cost to get a single drone in the discussed project, that would likely require lots of those drones to make sense. Agricultural plane rental in the US seems to be cheap, like taking a cab every now and then is much cheaper than buying a scooter for every member of your family.
so in the parent thread, i've learned more about hedge funds than i knew before, and i certainly formed a favorable opinion of the fund discussed here. So i'll reiterate a prior post's suggestion regarding education. Beyond ignorance though, there's a clear bias that perhaps you ought to target. the HN community seems to me, to be very clever, fiscally conservative, and highly skeptical. I'm certainly the latter two.

Also, i suspect that a large fraction (easily double digit is my guess) of HN readers are accredited investors. Despite these attributes, knowledge you take for granted might be lacking. In my case, i lack a basic fluency in what a hedge fund is as well as a knowledge of a few simple rules to distinguish legitimate ones from those that (likely) aren't.

Without this knowledge, what i know about hedge funds is what i read on HN and that is usually unfavorable (setting this thread aside). So for instance, i recall reading that Ellen Pao's husband is a manager of hedge funds of sufficient reputation to attract more than $100 million from municipal pension funds, but is now bankrupt and declared a ponzi scheme by the bankruptcy judge.

Again, not to disparage hedge funds, rather just to emphasize that these are exotic instruments that very few have any idea how they work, and so there's nothing to mitigate the highly negative association caused by the alarmingly frequent instances of massive fraud orchestrated with hedge funds.

clearly it's not logical--everyone knows what a "hedge" is and they know what a "fund" is, but put those two words together and they metastasize into an term with a strongly reinforced negative connotation.
I thought the argument was going to be "Conditionals are bad for running on GPUs."
This is incorrect.

As of January 2016, Australians who live in another country for more than six months will have to notify the Australian Tax Office to start paying back their loans.[1]

Graduates who fail to notify the Australian Taxation Office face fines of up to A$3,600 upon re-entering Australia.

Additionally, the number of graduates working abroad for more than one year early on in their careers is less than 10%, and the new legislation is estimated to save Australian taxpayers around A$150 million over the next decade.

Additionally, the linked article from nytimes.com states repayments start at AU$40,000 of income, this is also incorrect. As of tax year 2016-17 the repayment threshold is AU$54,869 as per the Australian Taxation Office website[2].

A far greater concern is non-payment by deceased estates, which is estimated to cost Australian tax payers some half a billion dollars annually. Modelling shows that recovering HELP from deceased estates will more than halve the amount of debt that is not expected to be repaid.[3]

Any tips to help me with this website?
Hi,
I'll opened a website two weeks ago that collects donations. The idea came after i saw a website that i'm sure all of you know, highscore Money. I wondered why, with all the money collected, this money could not be used do something useful.
Once it was online first donations came by word of mouth, and two people here, on YCombinator. So i'm here looking for advice and suggestions by you.
Really, any suggestion is welcome. Would you change anything? There is something that seems unclear? How you would increase the credibility?

Thanks to some feedback, from users, I decided to make some changes after a few days
- Reduce the percentage retained by CSM, lowered to 20%
- Publish the pool right now, without waiting for the end of July

I know it can be improved in terms of design :) but I do not want to make a difference as a web designer with this website, I want to find a way to help others and to do, a little, my part.
Thanks to all of you.

You're right - "infinity" is more of a type than an actual value - S1 and S2 have different counters.
It's kind of a bummer that small companies and home users can't send email through their own servers any more.

I have this idea for a "bonded email server". The idea is that smaller senders would pay a bond (say, $200) plus a small monthly fee to a bonding company, which has a trusted relationship with Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. The bond ensures that you won't send spam through your mail servers and in exchange, the big hosts agree to whitelist the mail you're sending. After some period of time, you get your bond money back if you've been true to your word. You'd still pay your small monthly fee to the bonding company.

The database of "certified good" hosts could be maintained by means of DNS run by the bonding company.

The problem with the idea is that there's so little incentive for the big mail hosts to accept email from small senders. They'd much rather you use a Mailchimp for bulk sending and their own service (or one of their large competitors) for individual sending because they know that these are reliable partners.
I read everything I could find on the Anti-IF site and didn't understand what the mission is exactly. They qualify and mention they want to remove the bad and dangerous IFs, but I couldn't find examples that differentiate between bad ones and good ones -- are there good ones according to this campaign?

I like using functional as much as anyone, and removing branching often does make the code clearer and remove the potential for mistakes.

But I admit I have a hard time with suggesting people prefer a lambda to an IF, or to not ever use an IF. A lambda is, both complexity wise, and performance wise, much heavier than an IF. And isn't is just as bad to abstract conditionals before any abstractions are actually called for?
Yes it's fine. In this day and age, it's almost suspicious not to have any gaps in one's tech resume.

Most people in this thread don't seem to have experienced how irritating it is to work in UTC. The argument they make is mainly about logging--they basically want to make sure the log line timestamps are in UTC for the sake of avoiding ambiguity. Fine. But when I want to generate a daily report and all the timestamps in the database are in UTC, it's a pain. Measures of time and weight are necessarily conventional so what really matters is consistency.
People, Projects, Process – How We Work Together
There are two (or more) dimensions around these issues:

(1) is being open to commerce and immigration for law-abiding entrants, and nurturing friendships with other nations while respecting their sovereignty. This is considered a good thing by moral standards and economic theory. Also the George Washington school of though: "peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none"

(2) is starting with closed borders to the detriment of a country's citizens but giving more power to leaders and creating a system of favors and alliances, interventionism, adventurism etc. this is what create wars in the first place. Let's call it the Trump school of thought.

Looks like this kind of deal is more (2): giving up sovereignty though alliances, for no benefit to the common citizen, but increased power for the powers at play.

I'm pretty sure that the massive presence of American troops in Europe (which amazingly outnumber all European troops combined) and nuclear deterrents are what's keeping the peace.
Under the proposed agreements described by Mr. Wiegmann,
foreign investigators would be able to serve a warrant
directly on a U.S. firm to see a suspect’s stored emails
or intercept their messages in real time, as long as the
surveillance didn’t involve U.S. citizens or residents.

Such deals would also give U.S. investigators reciprocal
authority to search data in other countries.

Why does this seem like they're trying to 'legitimize' something that's probably been done in secret for years?
> A set of conditionals is probably the most obvious way to express branching.

Besides object polymorphism and sets of conditionals, there's also generalized predicate dispatch, but that's probably an overkill for many things.
I am coding since the mid-80's and after my GNU/Linux zealot phase I went back to the GUI worlds of Mac and Windows, because although they have their own set of issues, they are closer to the Xerox PARC ideas than any other UNIX clone.

After becoming a big Oberon and Smalltalk fan during the university, I started collecting Xerox PARC papers and imagining how the IT would have looked like if those ideas managed to win the market the first time they tried to go commercial.

Instead we had to wait for Bret Victor and MathBox creator as you say, for bringing those ideas back.

> If you actually wanted people to use your work freely, you'd release it into the public domain.

The photographer explicitly didn't want it to be used freely. He wanted it be used for free only by people who gave him credit for his work, which is why he used a license that said so. Per the article: “I’m happy to see my photos spread around, but I demand proper attribution. It’s not much for a free photo.”

> This incident shows that CC evangelists can be just as controlling and litigious as the conventional copyright holders they inveigh against. So much for making the world more equitable and accessible.

Why are you railing against people who fight for CC licenses? Surely it is better than conventional copyright holders, who charge you for any use of their work? Are you against copyright law as a whole, and believe everything should be in the public domain?
???

First you give them few labeled examples of consonant ad harmony then dissonant harmony and then ask them to label next examples.
A library can very easily provide, along with the kit components, convenience functions that perform common tasks - like matchCaseInsensitive or whatever. The point I took from the post is that, regardless of how the final public API is presented (and indeed, hopefully it doesn't involve piecing together umpteen bits), the code implementing it can be written by composing simple components rather than unwieldy conditionals.
This is a great article that strikes many chords with me. unfortunately, though it has been submitted many times it will never reach the front page.
The other thing which is often implied is that once you're a master of a particular field, that financial success will necessarily follow.

This is not the case. Being a master in your field does improve your odds to a certain point and it can certainly get you a high income. But to actually become wealthy, you need more than skill/talent.

Once you get in the top 0.1% of your field, the level of talent/competition is so extremely high that it becomes literally impossible to differentiate skill levels between individuals (even experts in that field can't do it) - Beyond this point, to progress further, you have to rely on either luck or social connections. The hard part is that you have to keep practising/learning like crazy just to maintain your approximate 'ranking'.

Thankfully, at that skill level, influential/wealthy people might recognize your talent and may actually bother to answer your emails if you craft them correctly. But yeah, you'd better have damn good emotional intelligence/soft skills because beyond that, it's all about social scheming and manipulation.

The #1 most famous person in a given field is rarely the #1 in terms of skill level - They probably rank somewhere in the top 1% or maybe in the top 0.1% (if the field is particularly meritocratic) but it is unlikely that they even make the top 1000 list.

The meritocracy factor is probably relatively strong in fields like maths and science (research) but extremely weak in fields like acting, painting or music. It's related to the degree of subjectivity in each field. But I think even in science and engineering, there is a lot more subjectivity involved than most people would admit.
That's probably the end-goal.

The feds can no longer spy easily on foreigners by using a US corporation as leverage. However if they get a foreign government to agree to remote warrants, they can then use remote warrants themselves. Since they can't compel Microsoft Ireland to deliver emails, if they can just get Ireland to agree to this, then they can just compel Microsoft Ireland through Irish authority to do the same thing.

> Define true as a lambda taking two lazy values that returns the first, and false as one that returns the second, and you can turn all booleans into lambdas with no increase in code clarity.

This is trivially true, any datatype can be encoded as a function. The post is not saying that we can pass any type of lambda whatsoever, but that we should pass lambdas that implement the required functionality.

> The straw man in the post - talking about a case-sensitive matcher that selectively called one of two different functions based on a boolean - is indeed trivially converted into calling a single function passed as an argument, but it's hard to say that it's an improvement. Now the knowledge of how the comparison is done is inlined at every call point

If call sites shouldn't choose wich lambda (or boolean) to pass, simply define a new function that always passes the same lambda to the original function, and use it everywhere. (This could also be a good case for partial application.)

You will always have syntax imposed on you. With python you have indentation imposed on you, whether you like it or not. In other languages, indentation is a style option.

Using tabs makes your python code (potentially) incompatible with other peoples code, due to a style convention. This seems utterly crazy to me.

Yes, I prefer tabs too, but this tabs/spaces/different number of space feels like if C had the option of using either curly braces or parenthesis for blocks.
