But certainly, there are no doubt emotions, habits, moral concepts, and even "thoughts" that are thoroughly foreign to humans. Not impossible, just foreign.
I agree - having this available in OpenShift's console was a game changer for debugging. Looking forward to it in kubedash

Using IQ as an indicator for a good candidate is flawed, and just plain stupid. That would not be a company I'd have any interest in working for.
But does it beep at you? That actually looks awesome though--thanks for sharing that.
Uber Apple and GM. When Companies Value Financialization Over Innovation
I think it depends on how you quantify "simple." If you refer to simplicity as a small framework or library with very little moving parts, e.g react or sinatra, then that's one way to arrive at a definition. However, complexity in a designed problem arises when you need to take a large variety of 'simple' components and mesh them together to solve a problem.

In this context, I'm defining simplicity as low barrier to entry and/or easy to understand ideas. I think of myself as a fairly average developer; that I'm not wholly intelligent or skilled. I want a framework that bosses me around and tells me what to do.

Accomplishing simple tasks like mapping JSON returned from Rails to Ember routes and rendering that data into a table was very easy for me to understand and do. The simplicity I'm talking about was the setup, generation, and mechanics of the process. Ember, as another commenter pointed out, is not simple internally. It is glued together using evil magicks as far as I'm concerned. But I'm happy about that because when something does break, it means that I'm doing something that is going against convention or that something is truly broken.

As far as the former, then I need to learn the convention. For the latter, then I need to post questions in forums, hit up IRC, etc. But the positive aspect about the second process is that my project is already fully set up and I'm comfortable with my framework enough that I don't feel completely out of water.

To be fair it does slightly more than that (relative times, absolute times, etc) but it is somewhat ironic considering that it advertises itself as an alternative to one liners like "sleep 4231; beep".
Mathoms from the Lambda Files (c. 1998)
Son, you've got the wrong attitude.
> “Who am I to convince patients that they have to suffer longer than they want?”

One wonders who he is to convince them that they may end their suffering.

I think that there's something very cold about a society which says, 'on net, the world is better without you in it' not to someone who is a murderer, rapist or traitor but to someone who is depressed or afflicted with cancer.

> Last year, De Standaard, a prominent Flemish newspaper, published a long tribute to a depressed mother who was euthanized after being abandoned by her boyfriend and becoming disillusioned by her psychiatric care. “I am forever grateful to her that she handled this so well,” her twenty-four-year-old son told the paper. “I am so glad we were able to say goodbye in a beautiful way.”

One wonders if the son attempted to support his mother in life, rather than tell her goodbye.

> On the morning on which the euthanasia was scheduled, Boeykens’s daughter, Kerstin, said that she called De Deyn, crying, and begged him to move her mother’s 9 A.M. appointment a few hours later, so that she would have time to drop her children off at school and then drive to the clinic. But De Deyn said that he was booked for the rest of the day. (De Deyn denies that this happened.) Records show that Boeykens died at 9:20 A.M., at which point De Deyn removed her brain and performed an autopsy.

I don't really know if there's anything more to add to this vignette. It's like something out of Brave New World (a book which, incidentally, I've always found far more prophetic than 1984).
Take a step back and look at the big picture.

Professional management means tracking your issues in a way that your superiors can assess your performance. They don't need a bitchfest.

Use an issue tracker.
Each issue needs a one line professional description not a soap opera script. You need to assess the impact of the problem and assign a priority to it. You list who is involved in the issue. You create actions for yourself or others and then record the outcomes.

It is your job to find solutions. If there were never any problems and everything ran smoothly, you would be redundant. A lot of management are redundant because they can't solve any issues!

The maturity of management is what makes a company last a few decades rather than a few years. They have to operate professionally, following formal processes to hopefully make objective decisions.

The OP sounds devoid of objectivity and professionalism. If you want to emote you can write in your personal journal. When you go to a management meeting they don't want to see you cry about stuff. They need visibility of the issues and actions.
When the penalty of a lawsuit outweighs the money gained from such an action.
Ruby Mod Operator Doesn't Work as Expected
There's lots of positive data eschewing the benefits of pursuing discipline as the master skill, because once you learn that you can learn to be disciplined at any skill you need, you can more effectively learn and do anything that needs to be done and get to the task of being successful towards your goals.

Discipline to do what needs to be done will always beat constantly seeking motivation, because motivation implies a lack of it to begin with and staying that way.

Discipline for me is like making sure one takes a regular bath. Motivation is a temporary mental bath that constantly needs renewing. Discipline ingrains habits that bypass a lot of that.

Discipline makes sure to keep you in a position to perform and remain productive. In any hard task, great, aspirational, much of the things that need to be done are heavy lifting, mundane, critical and a lot of drudgery, not tasks anyone would be motivated to complete, and often the winner are those who can be disciplined to do what needs to be done.

They say time and learning from experience is the best teacher, I'm slowly beginning to realize this is true. In our case, talking about swimming, reading swimming, and watching swimming doesn't make up for jumping in the pool and realizing you don't need motivation to stay afloat in the water, only discipline to do what needs to be done to survive before picking a direction in which to thrive.

Some interesting reads that shouldn't be examined internally by an open mind and not one seeking social or external validation for a belief in something:

This made me smile. I usually pop open the chrome timer or use my phone. I also just started trying out Strict Timer (chrome extension). As simple as these are, I think you've managed to reduce the motion necessary from the user to its absolute lowest level for a parameterized timer. Thanks for the tool.
That was a let down. Is it really "exfiltration" when you use a protocol designed for mass data transfer and you use it in the exact manner it was intended to be used? The less linkbaity title is "Transferring files with BusyBox's ftp"

Agree that it's a generally different use case, but I'm trying to click through to examples of work and I went through three or four times to what seemed a blank page, returned to the homepage, and started over, before figuring out how to access them.

I'm glad this is the top comment. I was in China recently and was amazed by how functional and well developed the WeChat app is.

I'm happy the Chinese government blocked Facebook, if only because it gave my intellect pause to think about what happens when Facebook isn't allowed to use its network effect to its advantage to snuff out any other fledgling social network that would challenge it. Maybe we should take a second look at network effect and the unfair monopolistic power it provides to companies like Facebook who don't really have to innovate because of their global dominance and established network effect.
They do. Note the "&reviewerType=avp_only_reviews" flag in this set of reviews:

Well, I said at the very beginning:

> But that the thing - I never stash crucial code, just things like settings that are special to me and not other developers, so they'll probably never be pushed.

I don't know if that wasn't very clear.

Nothing wrong with opinions, there's a reason we share them, and I agree that stash could have probably been implemented a better way underneath. I have been recommended to use stash by another developer without any sort of warning, and with the implication that it's really safe and easy to use, which is rather funny in retrospect. Git's documentation page doesn't really talk about the dangers, either.

Indeed!
It wouldn't surprise me if $499 million of that actually got diverted to another undisclosed project.
3 Ways You Didn't Realize You Could Utilize Spam Reporting

This echoes what Yahtzee said about the game years later, and it still rings true: Half-Life is such a powerful experience precisely because you never leave the shoes of Freeman. Its story interleaves with its gameplay, and the pieces are all there to see, but if you just want to shoot some aliens, that's okay too.

It's a collection of innovations and feelings that few other games have been able to capture.

On an unrelated side-note, if you've played Half-Life, Freeman's Mind is a must-watch: it's an astoundingly funny bit of comedy that is just so brilliant.

Yahtzee Crowshaw's (yes, the very same guy I mentioned above) LP of the game (Let's Drown Out All Of Half-Life), while by no means a must-watch, is also reccomended.

Ask HN: How would autonomous vehicles handle emergency services right of way?
happened to me this morning on the way to work. cars moved themselves into bus lanes and past the line on red lights etc. it's all very dynamic where everyone is looking at what everyone else is doing and we collectively iterate to a solution so the fire engine can get past and get on with its journey. my question is - this happens regularly on an annual basis but how would an autonomous vehicle handle the situation? what rules get to be ignored under this circumstance? surely we're not going to compile enough data to treat it statistically so the chances of it screwing up have to be orders of magnitude higher... I can see worst case scenario edge cases all the way down.
A History of Container Technology
Are you suggesting that chimps would persist in trying to carry something that's too heavy for them, because they don't understand the concept of "weight", as tested for by some study? I haven't read the study, but I'm pretty skeptical about that.

My thought is that, just as accounts of past decades have tended to place too much emphasis on avoiding anthropomorphism (i.e., imbuing animals with human traits), they have also erred, and probably continue to err, in the converse, thinking that human behavior is much more "rational" and "consciously controllable" than it actually is. In other words, animals are more like us than scientists thought forty or fifty years ago, and we also are more like them than previously thought (i.e., we are not as rational as we think).
Its interesting because the reason I think "JAVASCRIPT EVERYWHERE" is valid is because I think "EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE" is valid. Don't get me wrong, some languages are incredibly domain specific and don't make a tremendous amount of sense at all parts of the stack (and some parts of the stack should have domain specific languages), but JavaScript is a general purpose language, that has some interesting things to offer different domains (whether it be server development, app development, etc), but most importantly... SO DO MOST OTHER LANGUAGES! I would love a world where I could choose from most general purpose languages for most tasks. I haven't found many reasons other than "why?" for being against JavaScript being everywhere. I know that if I was a Ruby guy I'd certainly like it if I could use Ruby in as much of the stack as possible, and I think that's totally reasonable. For example, I applaud transpile-to-JS languages so that you can use a language of your choice for the browser (vs thinking "why do we need Clojure everywhere!").

(OP here)

We spend a lot of time thinking about how to make AI succeed in medicine. Given that so many efforts, including MYCIN, have been tried and failed before, one of the key questions to answer is "Why now?" In other words, what has changed in the world which will let AI succeed where it has failed before?

I'm curious: is anybody else here applying deep learning, or any other subfield of AI, to healthcare?

If so... do the challenges listed in this post resonate? Do you believe the shifts identified are the right ones to focus on?
You're an outlier.

I live in an environment where I need to move files between several builds of Windows, Linux and macOS - and often where there is no network access because of security policy (misguided policy perhaps). Thumb Drives are the only way to function.
I suggest you give it another try. 2 years is a long time. At that time, English support was not good. It is much better now (I am using the English version). It is years ahead of WhatsApp, FB Messenger in terms of stability and features.
I have to disagree. Going with the family business is the easy way out. OP has great potential and skills that shouldn't be wasted that way. OP is going about getting a job the wrong way. Many good, experienced people won't get so much as a "no thanks" when applying to the likes of Google, Facebook, Uber, etc. for myriad reasons. If OP is serious about a career in software engineering, he needs to apply to more than just a few jobs and not focus on well-known companies. He would quickly and easily get an offer to do some interesting work. OP needs to start working at a software company yesterday and get away from all this BS at home.
Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | https://joinroot.com

Root is an auto insurance company, like GEICO and Progressive.

We use data science to find and insure good drivers, rewarding good driving with the best rates.

We're a startup — we're 14 people who have been working on this for a little over a year. We've built an iOS app that gathers data on how people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're well funded, and we're looking to bring on a couple more talented engineers. Tech stack involves Rails, iOS/Swift, and JS/React. Email me at dan@joinroot.com
Honestly, I would say fair to awful. Some of the "awful" is due to driver issues, I'm sure. I've seen an image come out too red looking, but it wouldn't reproduce with the same image. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the results, but not so pleasantly by others. To land a verdict in, I would have to try something on proper glossy paper.

Anyway, to me, it's really a pointless question; if you want good color, take your files to a pro printing shop. You're not going to get good color at home.

Printing photographs (e.g.) at home is a silly waste of money.

Firstly, it requires ink, not toner. (Rules out a LED or laser printer like this). Toner is colored plastic powder: the three colors don't blend properly. On a given pixel, more of one toner is going to end up on top, and even though it's melted by heat, it's not going to produce the right effect, like when drops of liquid ink blend together.

Ink requires an inkjet, and an inkjet is a silly thing to own. The ink is used up quickly and is expensive. You have to print quite regularly otherwise they dry up and clog. If you try to refill the cartridges yourself (e.g. open holes in them and syringe in the ink), you risk introducing particles of impurities which will clog the heads, and then the unit is kaput.

After all that, the cheap inkjets that people buy for home use don't compare to big, professional printing units. You will end up pay more per image than if you send out for it.

I have this printer for printing documents and the occasional image (perhaps embedded in a document). Color adds a nice dimension to docs, and doesn't have to be correct.
Yes, despite that you are grayed at this point, that example is not logically the same as the phenomenon under discussion.

If you talk to a lot of people with kidney failure you might conclude kidney failure is more likely than it is. This makes no sense as you are specifically looking for people with kidney failure, but humans aren't great at perspective here.

If you are looking for murder victims and a separate attribute--where these murders take place--is clearly correlated with murder victims, it is correct to notice that correlation.
Keep in mind you get up to 75% discount at AWS for 3yr term upfront payments for reserved instances... (In reality, anything I use only seems to get a ~60% discount for that)

But nobody uses AWS 'cause it's "cheapest". That's completely missing the point.
Actually, pedantically, "weight" is a "force", so it makes perfect sense to say we perceive weight when we carry something. Our arms must provide an equal and counteracting force to sustain the weight of objects we carry. "The weight of an object is usually taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. . . . " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight
