I had lyme for a few months and it was just awful. My brother had it undetected for nearly a decade and had an incredible number of muscle and joint issues, including surgery to burn nerves in his back because the pain was too much and he was on all kinds of drugs. After the 12th doctor he went to over the years, one finally tested him for lyme and he had more than 20 times the highest normal limit for lyme infection. It took 9 months on 8 simultaneous antibiotics (which destroyed him) to finally get rid of it. He's still doing follow up blood tests now a few months later. This is a real problem and it needs to be treated far better than it is now. I only had it for a short while and it completely changed how I thought about myself. My brain was so foggy that I couldn't even remember the names for certain things. I could tell you a steering wheel was round and it turned things, but you could have offered me a million dollars and I couldn't have told you what it was called. Lyme is relatively new in how widespread it is, and it's only going to get worse.
Nimble and SimpliVity together really give HP a solid footing against Dell/EMC/VMWare. Now all they need is their own Hypervisor. (for anyone who doesnt know, SimpliVity has hardware acceleration cards that do dedupe/compression/etc and offload it from the cluster processing store.)

Youve still got the independent Tintri, Tegile, Infinidat, Kaminario for now. And on the HCI side, Nutanix, Pivot3, Atlantis, Stratoscale, HyperGrid.

Programming for robotics: Introduction to ROS (presentations)
It's funny because I went from vim to intellij a year ago and recently tried out sublime text, and found my intellij code to be worse than my vim code. Mostly because intellij's auto complete and easy "go to implementation" makes up for (and can cause, if you aren't aware of the problem) a lot of quality issues - things you can't ignore in vim unless you want an codebase you won't be able to easily change.

I would gather that sublime text pushes you towards more focused, tight code, because their auto complete isn't context aware.

To your specific point, helper functions should be as close as possible to the function it is helping. If you have easy "go to function" functionality, some people will slack off on this.

The key metric you're missing is distance. It may not carry 1k people per hour, but it can carry people faster than most any other means of transportation. Because of that, I'd venture to say that your paradigm is wrong.
>So why are you here? To laugh at people looking for solutions to problems using well-defined means...

No, to laugh at people who think that because they have a hammer, that every problem is a nail, and maybe also the people who believe that the analogy is really really true, so long as you're using the magic hammer of technology.

Actually, it's the CIAs job is to actively collect information on foreign governments and nationals. This information is then supposed to be given to other organizations in the government to be used to guide decisions on foreign policy and potentially active missions to disrupt foreign activity.

I would argue that the group you are talking about is really the NSA. They should be doing everything in their power to make the US more secure, not easier to spy on.

Hey just saw your reply. Thanks! (This is great comment, too)
Nope, but have always loved playing around with compilers for languages like PL/0, Pascal (subset) and such. I have many books on compiler design[0] but my itch is usually scratched by implementing a subset of a Wirth language as opposed to creating my own. I don't keep anything I write because it's fun to do it all over again later.

[0] I think my oldest is "Compiler Construction for Digital Computers" by David Gries. My favorite isn't really a compiler book, it's Wirth's "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs" because he implements PL/0. I used to have some PDFs by Thomas Christopher that used matrices to computer first, follow, etc sets that I thought was interesting, but have since lost those.
I created a scripting language for my interactive fiction engine because the existing ones have too many assumptions about gameplay. It's Turing complete with ultra minimalist syntax using punctuation as the few keywords it has.
I created a language.

I was refactoring a very complex class at work that was hiding a very unsafe one liner of python doing a «safe» eval that was nowhere near safe. And after 3 days of mine + the 3 weeks from the team that appeared in the git on the work of this class, I thought, well I am told I am an idiot, but I am pretty sure one can make a safe language that only includes what customers need without taking as much time as this disgusting pile of obfuscated unsafe junk.

I did a forth based language in 16 hours on my spare time that was having the minimal requirements that satisfied real use case of all the customers.

Proposed to replace it after showing vulnerabilities.

Then I was shouted at by the CTO because it was undermining is great technical choices.

And then I realized that this Access Provider did not cared about neither their security nor the one of their customers, just about their nice boats and expensive cars and were just milking the internet users like any other ISP.

Creating your own language is dangerous ; it can make you think about too much things, do not do it.
Maybe I"m missing something, but what's the purpose of launching from a roof box? It just seems like a gimmick. I can launch a multi-rotor from the roof of my car, but that's hardly news-worthy.

Second, why a quad-copter? Anyone that knows anything about multirotors knows that a quad-coptor has multiple single points of failure, where a hex or octo can be controlled with single or multiple failures respectively.

Seems like they just slapped a hobby drone on the roof of a car "because marketing". It doesn't deserve to be on HN.

> In an effort to simulate their work environment, they bring in 50 job candidates at one time and pair them for 20 minutes. This is because work at Menlo is done in pairs, two people sharing a single computer, passing the mouse back and forth while brainstorming ideas.

> What's being evaluated in this audition process is whether job candidates bring out all the best qualities in their partners and make them look as good as possible.

This is crazy. So the candidates are to compete elbow-to-elbow to 50 other candidates and be evaluated on whether they "bring out all the best qualities in their partners". And that shoudl simulate work environment at Menlo? And that should somehow be better that a traditional interview? I don't know what these guys think about themselves.

Next one is no better:

> Now, every final candidate that makes it that far works for the company for three to eight weeks on a contract basis, doing real tasks alongside the people they would actually be working with if they had the job.

> To keep it simple, Automattic pays a standard $25 an hour, whether the candidate was hoping to be an engineer or the chief financial officer.

So you do normal inteviews an then get an 8-week-contract for $25 an hour and THEN they maybe decide you're worthy? I'm based in Germany, a senior-level Java dev freelancer gets somewhere between $80-100 an hour. This means a loss of say $60/h for 8 weeks * 5 days * 8 hours which is around $20k. How can it be worth it?

I made a little DSL for a program. Soon enough after requests the functions included a ternary function, and some custom functions. And before you knew it it was the bastard child of every bad programming language imaginable.

> and why

I didn't intend to. It just happened. And now it's used for all kinds of things it can't really manage because it doesn't have the fundamentals right - it was just supposed to do some simple formulas and it's too late to design it like a proper language.

This is how both js and php were born I imagine...

Show HN: My friends and I started a data science consulting firm after our PhDs
I'm unclear on why this is on the frontpage of HN. This seems to be another medical advocacy group that are searching for explanation of their symptoms, and have convinced themselves of a cause.

There have been several studies on their claims, none of which show that their symptoms are caused by a persistent infection:

> "The assumption that chronic, subjective symptoms are caused by persistent infection with B. burgdorferi is not supported by carefully conducted laboratory studies or by controlled treatment trials. Chronic Lyme disease, which is equated with chronic B. burgdorferi infection, is a misnomer, and the use of prolonged, dangerous, and expensive antibiotic treatments for it is not warranted."

It doesn't help that the article is written by someone who apparently is working hard to sell books about how to treat this - https://lymemadness.ca/

Great, thanks for the info. I'd have surely looked into this at some point before attempting such a thing but figured I'd ask since it was on topic.
I've been treated for lyme twice. The first time the well known bullseye surrounding a bite mark appeared and is what triggered my first time getting treatment. I believe it was 10 days on a an oral antibiotic. The second time I was treated, I was treated more for preventative reasons. I found a deer tick embedded in by shoulder and took pictures so the doctor wouldn't been weary to possible treat a non-issue with antibiotics. I try not to take antibiotics unless I absolutely need too. Except lyme, if left untreated, can wreak havoc. Sometimes I worry that I either wasn't on the antibiotic long enough or perhaps I've been bitten again. I wish we would focus more time and resources into more easily diagnosing this disease.
With this goes the support for DivX player and VLC plugin for Firefox. I'd surely miss the ability to play any format in my browser until PPAPI replacements come up.

I don't like having to braise/sear meat and caramelise onions directing in the IP on "Saute" mode - it's always either too hot or too cool. This process is much easier on the hob with a frying pan.. Which is fine, but then I have two things to clean.

If I want the benefits of a pressure cooker, I'll just buy one of those.

Oh and the UX on the IP is horrific! I needed the manual every time I used it (about five times).
Yes it does, all the time. Before Diabetes was a known condition, it was considered a mental disorder. Then diabetes became widely understood, but for a short time hypoglycemia was considered a mental disorder. Nowadays, hypo and hyperglycemia that are triggered without actual blood sugar level changes, are considered a mental disorder.

I know, because there is someone in my family with that last one. But if you do enough research, it turns out there are specialists out there, who are studying exactly that condition, and claim it to be related to something in the pancreas. But talk to a doctor outside that small circle? Mental disorder.
'chronic lyme disease' does not necessarily equal 'sequelae from lyme disease': many people getting treated with fuck-off antibiotics for chronic lyme have never actually gotten a diagnosis of lyme

Well, a couple months back I attended a talk on a Haskell implementation of the Noise protocol.

The programmer admitted that he was a cryptography novice, and in fact a Haskell novice.

As a result the code he wrote is needlessly abstract - for one thing the guy uses Free monads and in turn ropes in template Haskell as part of his state model. I really have no idea what code he's generating.

The code has other features that make review challenging - for instance he doesn't qualify any of his imports so it's hard to tell where to look for the functions he's implementing.

Maybe you are better at auditing Haskell than I am. As DJ Bernstein writes in various places, one common exploit is to construct an elliptic curve Diffie Helman shared secret with input that isn't a curve point. I really can't tell if the guy is mitigating against this attack or not, but here you can have a look:

You might not want to, but I do, because there is. I absolutely can't stand the term "the media has painted," as though the media is this single conglomerate where somebody (clearly not old white men, though?) pulls strings and sets the narrative. Remember, Fox News and Breitbart are just as much "the media" as anyone else.

The extremely liberal National Review concluded just before the election: "Republicans have failed for the past half century to attract non-white voters . . . Republicans have carried the white vote in every general election since 1968." However, it also notes that Mitt Romney won just 17% of the non-white vote.[1]

So I think you have it backwards. The media isn't painting Republicans as homogeneous; Republicans are homogenous, and frankly, aren't even all that worried about pointing it out. In fact, given the current trend towards ethno-nationalism, I think you might say some of them are proud of it.
