9 Signs you are going to be successful in whatever you do
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has been associated with strokes in young people. IDA doesn't necessarily have pronounced symptoms and a diagnosis with a blood sample is simple and cheap. It is often considered a "female disorder" but it's only slightly more common in females than males.

tldr: Have your blood checked.

> Our servers use latency based DNS routing to serve over 90% of all requests handled in less than 10ms.

What exactly does that actually mean though?

Does it mean that processing time at your server is 10ms, or 10ms to time to first byte, or something else?

Giving it a quick test, I generally get the actual JSON result in around 400ms. The lowest I got was 200ms, the highest around 1000ms. It didn't seem to make any difference if I used the HTTP endpoint instead of the HTTPS one.
The strategy which worked best for me was to first find a job that I was interested in, and then to reach out to someone in recruiting via linkedin, twitter, whatever you find. The point is to have an actual conversation/email exchange so you're not just a pdf in someone's inbox. The recruiters won't think it's weird that you dug up their contact info because this is exactly what they do for a living, and you come in the door as a warm lead, so in the end it's a win for them. I had around an 80% success rate in getting phone screens and on-site interviews using this method.

> ...imagine a case when a wrong drug is administered to a patient, with deadly consequences...

Out of band solutions are used to address these problems more comprehensively.

The FDA regulates brand names for drugs for exactly this reason: avoid confusion and ambiguities.

This is also one of the reasons for pharmacists, especially in hospitals. Mouse-clicking in a pull down list can easily select the wrong drug for the patient.
It's ambiguous what you mean there, expectations could be beliefs ("I expect code to be bad generally, so I don't assume anything") or what you'll accept ("I expect code in my system to be good, so I rejected the PR that added that garbage library").

A currency is something taxes are denominated in. And those currencies are necessarily controlled by the authority issuing the tax or the power to tax loses it effectiveness. (see Greece for details)

Everything else is just a transferable asset - intangible or otherwise.

It's why gold isn't a currency. You can't settle taxes with it.

A currency is the modern equivalent of a tally stick. It's what an authority uses to command physical resources.

Beyond public key encryption
If this is really true (and I find this rather insulting, as an 18-to-30-year-old male), I'd argue that it's a good reason to diversify hiring beyond 18-to-30-year-old straight single males who have no life outside of work.
Russians don't like to bargain mostly. I suspect (but please correct me if this sounds too wrong/offensive), that it's a vestige of the planned economy they had - all salaries and prices set by the state, no bargaining allowed. It's a simpler system and removes not only a layer of stress, but also a layer of conflict between you and the employer.

Though, if I were offered $2000k/mo, I wouldn't feel the need to bargain at all ;)

Are you implying writing one's own JIT? This would involve either writing a new LLVM backend or implementing the same optimizations. Easier to start with, yes: This doesn't really justify the design decision. (In short: Easier != Better)

You could compile to C, then use Clang or GCC to compile to a final executable: This should, if possible, be avoided as it limits what you can (C is not a good IR for a compiler). I suspect this is what you meant by "use regular C as the VM".

As these things go, LLVM is fairly sane/clean. The point of using LLVM would be to produce an optimized executable, rather than bytecode to be run on a VM.

Also, LLVM is C++ (Complex C++, in fact). If you don't already, I thoroughly recommend reading about optimizing compilers work (It's either very useful or fascinating, depending on whether you're the kind of person to find this stuff interesting). Using LLVM is, after getting over the C++ build times, actually quite simple (Take a look at http://llvm.org/docs/tutorial/)
Indeed, the sockpuppetry really hit hard around 2010/2011, and I've yet to see a website handle it very well. Honestly HN is one of the last places I take the actual time to comment on because of it. There are some methods that slashdot uses that I think could also be helpful, but there is no easy fix.

Like you said though, one interesting side-effect is that for the astute reader you can discern what the talking points of the day/week/month are by paying attention to the narrative.
> LaTeX documents, tables, images, videos, songs, computer programs, etc. have very little in common, so why make them all files?

They have plenty of things of common -- you can make an independent local copy of them, you can copy them to USB stick and give to other people, they can be backed up to a local storage or to a cloud, they can be sent by e-mail.

Having persistent objects means every single program has to implement its own cloud syncer and "copy to USB stick" functionality. In practice, this just means heavily siloed data -- as a power user, I would hate this.

Various deficiencies are definitely a problem in my friend population, where many of them are vegans.

The vegan diet is a diet of deficiencies, and since none of them are particularly careful about what they eat, I worry that it is making them all worse off. Iron and B12 may be the most obvious, but also D3, calcium, zing, animal based nutrients like creatine, and I'm sure others.

Unfortunately, this becomes a touchy subject with them very quickly, and most of them believe "being vegan is healthier," but are uninterested in engaging with or supporting this claim.
The reason more females have it is because of blood loss from periods (Iron is needed to make up Red-blood cells).

I had IDA for over a year. My doctor tried to fix/ mask it with iron supplements, turns out was a coeliac. Which explains why I was constantly felt lethargic/ hung-over.

It makes sense, in a way. You base your pay on $MONTHLY_LIVING_EXPENSES + $DESIRED_MONETARY_GAIN. You can't really change your MLE by much (not in any short timeframe anyway), so your salary negotiation starts off depending on that. In which case two people with different MLEs will bargain for different salaries with the same DMG, in the end receiving equal gratification from their different salaries.

Read the first paragraph of the article.
I am sorry that I have to agree with this. The HR filter is a hurdle that can be engineered around (I am not arguing that it should be, but hey, if they erect technological measures in the interests of efficiency of filter process, they should be focusing on the individuals bright enough to learn about this, take advantage of it). Once you understand how resumes are filtered/scored, you can adapt your submission to this.

I am not saying to do this. I am saying, given the technological filter barriers that have been erected between applicant looking at a post and the real hiring manager, yeah, it is a reasonable response.

In terms of a search, I went through this recently. I activated my network (with a few well placed emails) as well as carefully submitting applications to various companies. My response rate to the latter was about 40%, including 2 solid offers. My response rate to the former was 100%, including 1 solid offer that route, 2 likely offers (had I continued). I ended the process by selecting the offer that I thought would be best for me. I had additional people I knew calling to recruit me for up to a month past this.

Not bad for an older-than-40-ish person.

My advice is quite simply, build your network. Make sure people know you, and know what you are capable of. Make sure your history is documented. Update your linkedin. Keep your skills current (ex-Fortran programmer here, so really ... current), show public code contributions. Play with relevant things so you can talk intelligently about them.

What bothered me were the "technical" interviews I ran through with some of the prospects, some of whom spent inordinate amounts of time on things unrelated to the tasks at hand. This is just like sales, you are looking for a fit. And if someone is looking at you for a particular role and asking you deep (meaningless in context) questions about things outside of this role ... this should be a huge signal or red flag to you. Just like with a sales call or meeting, you need to be able to understand when something goes sideways.

Don't get emotionally invested in this. You are selling yourself (your time anyway), and you have to hustle to make it happen.

I wonder if the outcome of the study could also be affected (in part) by emotional states associated with past uses of acetaminophen.

In the past, there have been people close to me that used aromatic "remedies" like essential oils for headaches and other ailments, to the point that now whenever I smell those scents, I unconsciously start feeling as though I am (or someone near me is) sick or in pain. I suspect there may be similar effects (conscious or not) with drugs that have historical associations in the minds of participants in the study. Rather than an associated smell, perhaps an altered state of body/brain chemistry could make similar memorable impressions.
I'm actually on the other end of this, have had to design a few of those screener questions myself.

No? My bad. I thought we were 1-dimensionalizing one another like tribalists rather than having a rational argument. Perhaps you do have something to contribute? I shall give you the benefit of the doubt that you are a razor sharp intellect and a force to be reckoned with.

Here's how I was able to get there in a split second. Perhaps, JUST PERHAPS, you can analyze yourself for similar flaws: "He tossed out Ayn Rand, probably never read her. Ugh, what a bore he must be at parties! So he's a progressive thinker. His weaknesses are a bias towards government, a lack of critical thinking, and a victim mentality. Can't do anything about the victimhood, he needs a shrink for that. Okay, attack his center by opposing his faith in government with the epic fail that is the rigged U.S. health care system."

I know nothing about you and did no research, so the chances any of those assumptions were right are close to nil. That kind of wretched thinking about someone I don't know is not only unproductive, but psychologically harmful to me. (Which is why I try to avoid it.) But as you can see, it's easy for me to let my brat out of his cage.

I think your problem is you assume you're right and you're indignant when someone challenges your beliefs to the point of being emotional about it. You don't feel the need to present an opposing argument with any detail, which is a shame since you probably have wisdom to share. (EDIT: oops, my brat is still off his leash...)

Usually the first service is build in an Agile manner. It starts small, and more and more features are added as years pass by. Then some one decides to create a complete new system from scratch, and they never realize all the hidden complexity that exists in the original solution. So this second waterfall project fails and needs years to become usable.

I don't understand the British.

Brexit has happened. May has triggered Article 50.

It doesn't matter whether the case is stronger or not. Britain has decided to take its toys and go home.

The worst part about the entire Brexit fiasco is that the British politicians simply don't seem to understand what the situation is. They seem to think they are the only actors in this entire process. So when the rubber actually hits the road, they are forced to capitulate like they had to on the 1st day on sequencing.

How can this be confirmation if it occurred after Britain triggered Brexit? It's a reaction. Of course "the euros", as you call them, don't have Britain's best interests in mind considering Britain is leaving.
