Not without extra-compiler tooling like other static analysis tools, you're probably correct. I haven't had a chance to use much Ada, it's always been a pleasure for me to work in because I get to use things like the above to make my code so much clearer.
The letter is not about the drug.

It's about the drug delivery device (i.e. the "pen"), and the failure of Pfizer/Meridian (the contract manufacturer of the device) to follow correct design and manufacturing practices.

They don't have a proper CAPA system in place, they don't have proper design control or procedures, the DHFs are missing up to date inputs, risk analysis isn't up to date, etc.

It's pretty damning, but it's not about the pharma aspect of this. Basically the manufacturer lacks a functional quality system, which is table stakes for this stuff.
I think Tenserflow is an especially big driver. It's basically making Python the machine learning language of choice.

"If you love TypeScript: Angular"
I would add an "(or Vue)" to this. When I first started out with Vue a month ago, there were some weird idiosyncrasies with typescript (IMHO). But the latest updates to "vue-class-component" and "vue-property-decorator" have fixed most of them.

tip: I believe they're still working on a good option in the current CLI (https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/issues/263) but one of the templates linked in that post (https://github.com/johnlindquist/vue-typescript-simple) is almost perfect (I had to make the following change that's in one of the reported issues: https://github.com/johnlindquist/vue-typescript-simple/issue...).
But, of course, it doesn't. I find the conclusions of these types of articles totally baffling. "But it's not pretty under the covers!!" Who cares? It gets the job done fast enough for 99.9% of real world users who will never know it wasn't implemented in an "elegant" manner.
Everyone knew these where more or less worthless to begin with, but the people doing things either have to use them or don't have anything better.

I think at this point we should start authenticating anything that ends up on someone's credit report using strong cryptography. People who refuse to use it out of ignorance or disagreement don't have to, they just don't get background checks (which is kind of the way it works now.)
I've only seen Minneapolis really snowbound maybe once in my career. We just work from home when it happens.

Also, the city has the most sophisticated snow removal in the western world. Both downtowns have extensive skyway systems to avoid walking outside.

The Twin Cities have 18 Fortune 500s to draw talent from. Meanwhile, Saint Paul has recently opened up a ton of prime commercial real estate at the Ford plant site (130 acres), Arden Hills armory site (>400 acres), Hillcrest Golf Club (110 acres), and the old EcoLab, Cray, and Gander Mountain buildings in the skyway system.
IP addresses probably have three or four bits of entropy at best: home, work, mobile, school, a few free wifi locations. Browser fingerprinting is an alternative when the data isn't already available. I just riffed on it as an example of the asymmetry of the information conflict between individual and organizations armed with many many data centers.
It's just like any other tech demo. The uniqueness factor is all its got going for it now... but to take the next step this technique must inspire someone to use it and create additional value beyond the uniqueness.

The next step is now more likely because millions of people will see what is possible and be inspired to create.

This should be upvoted because it's the key in this whole thing. It's a complete cover-your-ass move that attempts to hide the entire thing as quickly and easily as possible.

And if you think about it.. if they really thought this person was a murderer, letting them out would not be on the table.

Personally, I believe that if a prosecutor wrongly pursues a case, hides evidence, whatever and gets a conviction. When the sentence is overturned, it should be applied to the prosecution. It might teach some respect for the power they're throwing around.

But corporations don't make decisions, those are made by the actual human beings that work for those corporations. Those human beings belong in prison.
Nuking and fallout also tend to carry somewhat abstract and emotional meanings to the every day person. You essentially dispersing (or fusing likewise) certain molecule bonds which release heat and energy, which can be deadly, and the layer of "molecule depth" in which this happens makes it so it messes up the molecule bonds off the human body with rigorous results.

While there are certain difference, without the negative connotation these kinds of manipulation can equally bring something good.

s/port critical parts of it to/dump everything and rewrite from scratch in
I did not switch fields, so far as technical skills, I rarely feel challenged nowadays. A few things:

The way it came about was partly accidental. When I started this, the company I was at was failing, I knew it was time to leave. Then I took a contract position at a Big Dumb corp, when that was ending, instead of converting to full time, I had 3 other offers on the table. One local company was desparate, that's where the > 10% came from.

Always be interviewing. from constantly interviewing, I knew what the local market was like for my expertise (java enterprise). And I knew a great offer when I saw it.

Talk the talk and walk the walk. Train for the technical interview, be able to talk about how you've rocked past positions, and how you're going to rock this new position.

Put in the time, don't hide from the hard stuff. Every job I'd had I was sticking my nose into everything; frontend, backend, deployments, appserver and cluster adminning, production support, everything. That's how you get to be expert level at everything. It gives confidence, there's no part of the process I haven't experienced and have firm opinions on how to do right.

Sorry that turned in to general "dev career advice".

I agree with the other comment, we are probably in a buble so far as dev salaries, on the other hand, this may be the new normal. I base this opinion on the way central banks are continuing to print money.
Valid answers:

Are you creating $90K/yr in value for your company? Probably more, or they wouldn't be willing to hire you for that much. You're not overpaid.
I'm still very dubious of the actual issue, though. Like what is supposedly going to happen to people who use react.

And from what I understand the license hasn't changed so why has it become an issue now? Like the guy in the article who says his teams have to pull it out... hasn't whatever legal danger is being alleged here existed this whole time? But right now it's become an issue? I dunno, it just smells fishy to me.

Dealing with the same issue and was thinking of deleting. I consume a lot of content and learn a lot from but I don't feel myself retaining the information. Maybe I am subconsciously? As such, I think it contributes more to anxiety which leads to stress etc. than being a benefit to my life. Do others feel the same? Does the vast amount of interesting content and curiousisty to want to consume it all make you anxious? I like the comment about retraining idle time, so instead of hackernews something else ... but I'm addicted.
I don't think there's a hard and fast rule. This is similar to the term "quant", which can mean anything from a research scientist using applied mathematics to develop new models and strategies, to a developer who works on the software used by research scientists. It's (deliberately) fuzzy.

In the case of data science and machine learning, my experience is that data scientists are frequently more involved in munging data, warehousing and writing SQL code for analysis, while machine learning engineers write software or models for interacting with the data and making predictions.

Again, I don't think it's a binary distinction, but personally I'd expect a data scientist to be working mostly with databases and data directly and an ML engineer to be developing software and forecasting models.

Practically speaking the education and background for the two is similar in that they're fundamentally not research oriented positions, they're engineering positions, which means they're accessible to someone with software engineering experience but not a significant mathematics or statistics background. On the converse, a machine learning researcher would be significantly more theoretical - still writing code, but mostly working with abstractions and models, not doing most of the heavy lifting implementation wise. A position like this will be significantly less accessible to, say, most of Hacker News, as you'll generally need an MSc at minimum to be a competitive candidate. Although obviously there are exceptions.

As a piece of advice, I would urge you to consider most of these specialized titles to be marketing terms. If you have an opportunity to work in either role, make sure you're very clear about the actual responsibilities involved. It's a lot easier to throw someone an impressive title than it is to throw them impressive responsibilities or an impressive salary.
You're not overpaid if that salary doesn't provide an avenue for financial security while having a family. You know, old middle class.
Ultimately the issue is that we somehow got fixated on the p-value, which (roughly and imprecisely speaking) quantifies the probability that there is any effect, even a small one, rather than using effect size estimates which estimate both the magnitude of the observed effect and the uncertainty in that estimate.

Using p-values as our primary metric means an overemphasis on finding small effects (which are usually not clinically relevant anyway) and unduly low focus on things with big effects.

If an effect is real, but very small, that too may well cause replicability problems because it suggests the effect may not be very robust to small changes in experimental conditions, whereas a big effect would be more likely to be robust.

If you think about the really important scientific findings -- the ones that made a big impact and are indisputably true -- statistics usually aren't necessary to prove them, because the effect size is so large it is simply obvious. I'm not against using statistics anyway, of course, but the point is that we should be looking mainly for effects with big effect sizes if we are after important findings, IMO. It is only a major bonus that big effect sizes are most likely to be replicable.

IPFS has been a frustrating project to watch. It's felt like it was 6 months away from being amazing for... over two years now. Despite their writing it in Go explicitly so they could get something working and usable quickly, rather than C/C++ which would let other languages and platforms wrap their lib, which is what I'd have expected them to do if they were serious about becoming an infrastructure-level protocol. This ICO may explain some of those choices, and makes me more worried about the future of the project than ever, which sucks because I really want to use it and to be able to trust it'll still be around in 10 years.
Exactly - what was communal became personal. Which if not legally theft was certainly the moral equivalent.

aside for convenience.

You say that as if it is a small thing. Convenience, lack of additional code to maintain, consistency across platforms - for many projects these things will easily trump any algorithmic improvements from using something else.
Something always fails. Was curious about the details, though. Actuators from the linked Patent:

- F12-BC (W-Robit, Taiwan)
- PAC-UGT040D (PBC Linear, Roscoe, Ill.)

Motors and servos:

- BCH U04 (Schneider Electric, Palatine, Ill.)
- LXM23A servo system (Schneider)
- Modicon M256 Logic controller (Schneider)
- SM23165DT (Moog Animatics, Santa Clara, Calif.)

That last motor is a NEMA 23 stepper and commonly used in 3D printers. I remember tweaking the current levels on it with a temperature gun until it was just at 40 C. These particular ones are rated for 85 C and have a high mean time between failure - over 20k hours of continuous operation. At lower (more normal) operation temperatures they can last 10-20 years.

Of course, there are always exceptions and lots can go wrong (that random failure, bird gets trapped in the mechanism?), but looks like they picked decent components.
Consider the implications of this security breach if it's a state actor that did it. I'm going to throw out Russia as an example, but don't take that as me accusing them of doing it.

Cross reference financial information on millions of americans with data breaches from yahoo and linked in, and the social graph data that's freely available from both and you have a serious national security problem. It would be easy to search for employees with serious financial problems at any institution you wanted to target with either blackmail or further intrusions.

Yes but at least Python has very good native access to libraries.

For example I am sure Java is faster at numerical processing than pure Python at least with Python you have the option of writing in native. Python has really good C interop and it maybe considered by some not part of the language but I consider that it is.

Yeah you could write native code for Java via JNI but its not easy (granted its been a while) and for reasons I can't remember why but JNI is slow (probably moving stuff on and off the heap... I can't recall).
240 million reasons. No doubt MIT will mention IBM in their reportage of this collaboration. But I bet they use the word "Watson" as little as possible.
Given that they have exactly the same interface, that choice is really easy. You go with one until it turns out to be insufficient, and then you switch to the other and not a single line of code has to change, except at the point where you create the thing.

Incidentally, the same is true in many situations in Python, and that is (IMO) one of its strengths.

Saying it's a 44% chance you're affected is really skewing things away from how severe they really are. At least 22% of Americans are under 18. There are actually 167 million Americans who own one or more credit cards, so this actually affects 86% of all US credit card holders.

I think the Clinton Campaign was the epitome of cunning and pragmatic. At least that's the tone that generally pervaded the Podesta Wikileaks emails, especially the disastrous plan to elevate radical candidates like Trump to make it easier for Hillary to win.

Many times when Python is blamed for being slow, it's the programmers fault. Python is great that you can 'regular' people writing code in it quickly. The problem is, these regular people don't always understand algorithms or things like caches, threads, databases...

A lot of these users can just say "My department needs a $40,000 24 CPU server with maximum RAM from MicroWay/SuperMicro, we need to run our codes faster", when they are just trying to brute force things.

They understand the problem domain but don't have the programming skills to use a computer to efficiently solve it.

But, these guys are all a step ahead of the ones who are stuck in the mindset of "C is the only language fast enough for my work", while not even understanding pointers and basic syntax and getting stuck on silly things like text processing, which could be done in minutes in Python.
> "Python is inherently harder to optimize than JS since it has <very dynamic features>"

Python is not a very dynamic language in the sense that you actually can't change a lot of stuff (and a number of the things you can change just segfault CPython). I think JS is more dynamic, for example. Or Ruby.
