This. Recent exposure to the US healthcare/medical system has horrified me. The fact that it's majority for-profit enterprises and isn't equal-access leads me to conclude the US shouldn't be able to call itself a developed nation.
For those interested in this topic I strongly recommend reading the Institute of Medicine report "To Err Is Human" linked in the article.

True, but that's not why I use it. If it was, I would have moved to Cyclone, which has improved Cheney on the MTA by adding threading support, and has a library system that doesn't suck (with chicken, you have to generate import files for every module in order for the system to compile or interpret your code, even if the modules get compiled into a single file: it's like .h files in C, but they're autogenerated. I usually use a make script to build them), and a macro system that (afaik) isn't O(n) if you evaluate in the macro environment by default.

But beyond the elegance of Chicken's internals, it's probably the most practical Scheme implementation for just getting stuff done fast. It has excellent C FFI, a good stdlib with solid POSIX bindings, an excellent package repository with all the libraries you might need, and it's very fast. It's not about the elegance, although it's there, it's about practicality: getting stuff done, efficiently, effectively, and now, not later.

Thanks for sharing. I'm certainly bookmarking this page and revisit this course after wrapping up CMU's 213[0]. How does this compare to Udacity's "Introduction to Operating Systems?".

[0] If you are self studying, like me, CMU offers not only the lectures online, but the labs as well: https://scs.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Sessions/List.a...
Yes, those poor persecuted "whites". With the minorities running the U.S. now, it's very dangerous for us. I narrowly avoided being sent to one of the "whites" concentration camps myself.
This is completely wrong. Kaldi has code to compute all kinds of features (filter bank, pitch, PLP...) and the many recipes use them.
I think the worst part about this is that I wasn't even surprised throughout the entire story. Anyone who has been a freelancer has dealt with the random, uncalled for threats from clients to give you a bad review or try to suspend your account. It's the reason I gave up on working on platforms like Upwork and Freelancer almost immediately.

Building a personal network is way easier to find contract work and you'll make more money in the end while creating real relationships that will help you foster your career.

I'm sorry this happened to you, and I'm super glad you revealed this persons name publicly. Good form.
"A lot of people will argue that boys are much less likely to read story books – fiction – than girls and that’s one reason why girls are better than boys."

This article is glistening with sexism.

“There is a need to feed back to boys what is going on here. Boys may be assuming, ‘Oh, I like to read nonfiction. Oh, I like to read magazines. Oh, I like websites or the instructions to video games’. But this study shows that they aren’t any better at that than they are at reading fiction.”

More and more sexism, I see. What boys are assuming this?

This article sheds some light on the subject:

These days, school revolves around the strengths of girls, not boys. We have higher reading levels with girls and hiring college graduation rates.

Nobody cares, which tells me many of these movements aren't about equality, but about petty retribution and a power grab for small, authoritarian groups.
5 years ago my uncle was hospitalized with a knot in the gastrointestinal tract which usually gets treated within days. He never left the hospital and died 3 weeks later after every single organ in his body started failing post-treatment. The man has always been healthy and never had any serious illnesses. His daughter witnessed (and on a few occasions so did i) plain stupidity and negligence of the medical staff who insisted to take him off life-support after putting him on it. We eventually ended up moving him to another hospital where he showed signs of improvement but eventually died when his kidney and then lungs gave out. She and her mother are convinced that he died because of numerous medical errors. I watched him suffer for 3 weeks and have since developed a phobia of hospitals. I basically lose my shit over any hospital visits these days.
You want to find the niche expert subreddits. The ones you named are good. So is /r/badhistory, /r/badeconomics [1] which are generally hangouts of experts to make fun of people claiming things. /r/netsec is generally good, so is /r/machinelearning. Even niche job-specific subreddits (like meddit or /r/protectandserve) are interesting to observe.

Because economics gets politicized so much, it's very rare to find sound discussion in popular forums. It's a ton of people cheering for their "team's" policies.

[1] Full disclosure: I'm recently been made a mod there. /r/badeconomics is probably the highest signal/noise economics place on the internet at the moment though. I learned more there than in school in the years I've spent there.
As a pilot that is learning. Why can't a simulator recreate the real flying experience?
Especially on this fly by wire aircrafts?
its the best class i've ever taken. definitely worth solving the assignments!
I'm a long term programmer and a very short term stenographer (over 20 years vs. 3 months). I'm cautiously optimistic that it could be a help with entering code given a correctly set up IDE. That said - I don't think the advantage is high speed entry of text. The speed of thought is the obvious bottleneck rather than typing speeds.
Where there might be an advantage is that it might be possible to set up chords to do relatively complex structural manipulations of text and give that chord a useful phonetic name. The sort of thing that expert emacs users do almost as a matter of course. Learning emacs well would be a far more conventional approach of course but steno does offer the possibility of easier to remember commands (once you've understood and learned the phonetic system).
Yes, and a TRS-80.
This seems to be a flaw in IPFS. If it reshares content automatically then other users can infer what content you have viewed. If it doesn't reshare content automatically then the likelihood of content actually being "distributed" rather than "centralized" is low because few users are going to actively choose content to reshare while browsing the web.
If this site is talking about what I think it is, then "regular" programming languages are a special case of this where the probability distribution of each value is the trivial case.

Only based on that, this will be useful for anything regular programming is useful.

In addition, this makes modeling uncertainty much easier (in the sense of "closer at hand"). That may allow for new ways of dealing with user input. Instead of saying "is this email address valid or invalid", we can start asking questions like "Is the probability of this email being valid larger than 99%? Then we'll accept it. Is it larger than 95%? Then we'll ask the user to confirm it. Is it less than 95%? Then we'll tell the user it's incorrect and have them retype it."

These are things we normally don't care to model because it would require lots of additional machinery. With that machinery built into the programming language, it is much easier to reach for, potentially with a better user experience to boot.
At least before Bayh-Dole, the job of universities was not productizing things, but fundamental research.
First of all, that's New Jersey law, and does not apply to everyone (though NJ is a favorite location for corporate HQs).

Secondly, that case only went as far as it did because Craig Newmark was very open to say "we believe this is good for society and we're willing and expecting to loose money on it"

Under normal circumstances, CXOs have wide discretion in interpreting what is beneficial for their companies. Case in point: contributions to political campaigns, contributions to non-profits, investment in clean energy or lead-free production etc.

The assumption is usually that shareholders are in a better position to judge such actions so the courts defer to their votes.

Keep in mind that the requirements for an IV drug are much higher than those of nootropic enthusiasts. All compontents have to be within a narrow concentration range (consistently, across batches) and very low levels of byproducts are allowed.

I'm not saying it's as expensive as Valeant claims, but it might be more expensive than you think.

What is the purpose of the head position tracking?
Did the aircraft you build the simulator for has some sort of advanced HUD that always shows correctly no matter the position of the pilot head??
I wouldn't sue anyone. But I can watch music videos on YouTube without contacting all of the the relevant rights holders to ensure both the uploader and YouTube have permission to show me the video. On a distributed file share lacking anonymity and/or immunity, I have to ensure that I have those rights before viewing (thus distributing) any content.

Immunity is not likely to happen, as it would amount to granting redistribution rights to anyone who downloads a piece of content. So the political solution is out. Anonymity is a requirement.

That's not to say IPFS is useless. It's just not going to "replace HTTP" or any significant part of the web as long as it's possible to see who's sharing what. Or if it does, the sharks will feed.
You could also use a multi-channel USB sound card, so you would have 5 independent audio output sources per USB device.
Yeah actually you make some fairly valid points. In some ways, Trump reminds me a lot of Abbott (who's name escaped me so I googled "stupid australian prime minister" and was rewarded with the first result), and while organized crime in Aus is a lot less controlling, if Australia were US-scale it would be.

My gut feel is still that Australia is more forward thinking; gun control and healthcare aren't an absolute nightmare. Then again Australia won't touch marriage equality because of a strong enough pocket of conservative religious people in smaller towns.

Actually research shows that many central line catheter infections are preventable. The AHRQ and CDC have published best practices and checklists, yet many hospitals still don't adhere to those.

> Anti-white racism. It's identical to the antisemitism of the far right in the 30s and 40s, except it is with whites.

Wow, I officially have a new "worst-comment-seen-on-HN". Sir, have you ever experienced anything close to racism? And do you have any idea what antisemitism in the 30s and 40s actually was like?

I am a young white male who has spent several years living abroad in the Third World. And yes, I have experienced some measure of "anti-white racism". That is to say, I am used to being publicly jeered at, being blamed for the poverty of the country I lived in (not entirely without reason - countries inhabited mainly by whites have caused many, many problems for the developing world), being ripped off and having to live with the danger of being physically attacked. All because my skin was another colour.

But you know what? I am also a German, and when I walk through the streets of my home town I often walk past "stumbling stones" - small brass cobbles set into the ground to commemorate a Jewish family who once lived in that house beside the road. The names on these cobbles once belonged to real people, people I might have been friends with if I had ever known them, and what they suffer does not in any way compare to what I have experienced. They were not just jeered at and ripped off on the market. They were excluded from society in a way I never was. They were branded as subhumans, they had their property confiscated, they were attacked and humiliated. And then they were herded up like cattle and sent off to be killed in one of the most brutal, most efficient killing industries ever invented by man.

I love my second home country, for despite the "racism" that I have experienced there (and you get used to it) I have also found true friends there and so much more that is incredibly positive - I am proud of this country and its achievements. They also loved their country; many of them even fought in a war for it. But their country thanked them by ostracizing them, and then putting them to death.

So please, the next time when you want to compare something to the antisemitism of the 30s and 40s, think again before you post. Nothing in this world is identical to that. Very, very few things come close. Anti-white racism is related, but please put it into its proper perspective. Failure to do so untruthfully exaggerates one issue and is grossly disrespectful to the victims of what remains one of the greatest disasters of mankind.
Please explain to me how competing with Google's broadband operation fits into all of this, then.
Its way better than Udacity's intro to os course. Just read through all the assignment descriptions, and you'll get an idea of how much you're going to learn.
Could you not simply have a 5V DC power adapter on the same mains line, and detect if it is on or off via one of the GPIO pins? Is that considered frankenbodging?
Well, Fachhochschule and University are both free, and admission is based on merit, sometimes with bonus points for civic / volunteer engagement. However, there is a correlation between parents' financial and social standing and childrens' success in school. The German school system is quite complex to explain (partially because we have 16 independent ones, one for each state), and efforts are being undertaken to help students from disadvantaged families succeed, but more work is needed to close the gap.

Most of the people with fancy degrees that I know don't give a damn about the title. It might be more pronunced in older generations. That's just my sample point, though.
GitHub in 1996? Ha.
Who says it has to be revenue neutral? That's probably a way to try and make it more palatable to people, but has no bearing on effectiveness, and it will shift the tax burden so it's not like it won't have opponents already.
Wow this looks pretty cool!
Nope. Seen both many times. The positive enforcement causes no one to share any negative thoughts after a while and the company smiles it's way out of business.

Unfortunately people who will not speak up out of fear are toxic to company culture. The creative process is immediately destroyed when people need to second guess everything they say or do since it is impossible to know if you are about to say the wrong thing.

If someone can not tolerate cynical and sarcastic comments they need to be removed quickly. This is very different from mean spirited put downs and intentionally hurtful comments.

Stuff like "idk that button looks like it was mad in 2002" or "I swear we have the shittiest parser ever right here". Is good and fine.

"You talk to much", "why did you write it like that? It doesn't make any sense" Are bad.

Notice how the first like says "we" or talks about a specific feature and the others talk about specific people.
There's an old joke inside hospitals. Hospitals are where people go to die. Unfortunately, it's not a joke. Hospitals are the definition of asymmetric information warfare. You know nothing and they think they know everything. Absolutely have someone on your side who knows what's what. Family/friend who is a doctor, nurse, PA, NP, etc. Hospitals are so wedged that some actually have "patient advocates" who work there and whos sole job is to be that advocate for the patient and patients family.
It ends with a reference to Marx.
Yeah this is pretty grim - also shows someones true character when they are willing to act like this from behind the safety of a screen miles away from the person they are interacting with.

I can't imagine Apple doing this, for all of the obvious reasons. I absolutely could imagine a more wide-ranging strategic partnership with e.g. TSMC, though – sort of like their enterprise sales tie-ups with IBM and Deloitte.
The first configuration is pretty simple and the 1000€ license is just to "build" the elements into your office/house. Once they are setup, you do not need the license and can control everything with fully open source software. The hardware is now easy to buy and not that expensive at all[0].

You practically never pay the 1000€ because it is owned by the company putting the cables in your home. But, yes, you have this software fee if you want to change the hardware on a regular basis (but I must say, I don't know anybody doing this).

WEB 2.0 turned online discussions into popularity contests. Period. I preferred the older, smaller communities sans likes & upvotes where you knew most in the community and had the ability to 'ignore' MUs. Of course, that had it's drawbacks and is much more difficult to scale as the site gains popularity & evolves. I do not have the answer other than self-moderation, yet, most(including myself) fail sometimes in the heat of emotional impulse... and personal investments, paid actors, other reasons.
It would be nice if we had either public driving simulators or classes that you could use to improve your driving and response to erratic other drivers. I suspect that the lack of this deliberate training is one reason why driving is much more dangerous than flying. Back when I owned a car, it seemed like all of the classes on driving marketed themselves as either:

1) A totally unchallenging formality that will satisfy the requirements for keeping your license.

2) Training for police to use a car as tactically while being shot at.

There didn't seem to be any middle ground for people who just felt like they'd like to reduce their chances of killing a cyclist.

I wonder if it would profitable to build an arcade machine and charge people to play a more immersive version of Crazy Taxi, GTA, or some prohibition bootlegger simulator.
Strike that, the fourth episode is amazing and as good as any made previously.
I have a truly naive question about the distributed web: what makes the supporters of it think it will be any different from the original web. I mean, isn't it likely that at some point, there will be the need for a centralized search engine for it? Isn't it unavoidable that big companies like facebook runs their own non-distributed subnetwork, so that it can deliver standard functionality to all its users? The original web IS distributed already, isn't it? It's just that organically, the way people use it has become a lot more centralized, no? Or am I missing the main argument for a distributed architecture?
More likely this idiot is doing it. Look at the location spots.

Ben Callis. He's a little assbot programmer that likes hacking bank accounts and stealing people's shit. Runs around in a Roman Catholic Church. Pure Hoodlum and ugly disgusting rat.

He's stealing networks and fuck-flashing it probably prior to the elections. If you want to know who's been hacking away at your banks and your stuff disappearing it's this asshole. He smiles and pretends but he's a career criminal.

You see this maggot report him to FBI. Absolute Fiend and a pathetic piece of rotten crap. Dangerous too got ahold of some weapons starts acting up.

BenCallis-CohhCarnage is a FIEND. He hassles and hurts women and children is a human-trafficker and disgusting piece of morbid crap.

Go bulls! I took Operating Systems with Kosar and worked on Pintos rather than the OS-161 modules. Honestly don't know what I was thinking, Challen's class seems far more interesting...
Similar thoughts exactly. This company appears to be a subsidiary of a larger law firm which tells me it was created solely for the purpose of doing "production line" legal services. It is a sales/marketing tool for the one-off that comes along and requires additional legal services. Unfortunately for expungements/record sealing/pardon customers they are more often than not the ones that require personalized legal services. Every case and every state are different. How you plead your case today has a direct impact on what, if any, options are available to you down the road. In no way should these types of services be "production line" services in my opinion.
Completely putting aside the question of the quality of the simulation of the aircraft and physics involved, one possible reason is that simulations can remove extreme emotions from the equation. The pilot knows they won't die in the simulator if they make an error. (This can be both a positive and negative gain.)

To take it to the extreme, would you be willing to attempt landing a real 747 solo, having only ever flown using simulators?
The New Yorker is precisely where I saw & adopted the dieresis way back when. It's also simpler to type on vkeyboards than a hyphen -- click-and-hold vs switching layouts and back.
Uh? Straight fuel -> mechanical energy conversion is less efficient than a series of fuel -> heat -> mechanical energy -> electrical energy -> transportation -> storage -> mechanical energy conversions?
Yes, this is precisely what is called probabilistic inference.

That actually looks quite good! Can anyone who took this training vouch for it?

Surely tsx-11 or sunsite would have something, right?
Good point about the numbers! Double::parseDouble accepts a superset of JSON numbers, so the risk here is that something which is not a valid JSON number will be accepted. That could be tackled by building up the string, checking it against a regular expression for JSON numbers, and then parsing it. It wouldn't add any states to the parser, and would take two lines of code.

I would suggest that in a JSON parser, attempting to recover from parse errors, or supporting frequent errors, would be a mistake. JSON, unlike CSV, has a rigorous definition, and we wouldn't be doing the world any favours by tolerating deviations from it.

I'm not sure what the security issues with long strings would be. Text gets accumulated in a StringBuilder, which will handle strings up to 2 GB and then throw an exception. I don't think there's any way to get into an incorrect state.

Your other points relate to design decisions, and ones where i'm quite happy with the options i chose.
