Who says "cancer doctor"? I thought they were called oncologists.

He sure doesn't mind blogging about it for the whole internet to read though.

I knew a lawyer once through a mutual friend, who in fact passed away from breast cancer.

Near the end I asked my lawyer friend if she could help us with a will. She immediately said to me that I would be speaking to the lawyer, not the friend. She takes those matters very seriously and is very professional.

Doctors can take that route too. If someone asks about their profession they can simply defer them to their office.

I was ok with this. I'm sure some will object but you can't please everyone.
Me too. I stopped using it after I read somewhere that it could be hacked to include new peers to your connection without your awareness, which is a serious concern. I don't know how legit the claim was... but I opted to avoid the risk.
In metal shielding cases, slots, not holes, are the big problem. Slots are long openings and leak on wavelengths up to their length. Small round holes leak well up in the gigahertz range, where high-power noise is less likely.

A high-powered switching power supply, like this guy is building, is the worst case. It's inherently a high-power RF emitter. Switching power supplies are spike generators, so they emit lots of high harmonics. Of course this guy has an EMI problem.

I've run into this with a device I'm building that's powered from a USB port and has a switching power supply. The switcher runs around 300KHz, and I can see noise spikes down to 25ns, which is 40MHz. Keeping it from injecting that back into the USB power end is tough. If the device is powered from a computer, that's likely to cause trouble. USB ports usually have current limit detection, and it's instantaneous current that matters. Exceed 500mA for a microsecond and the port shuts down until power cycled. That's good; port shutdown occurs before the computer crashes due to noise on the power bus. Right now, I'm waiting for some 6.8μH ferrite beads to arrive. 1μH wasn't enough.

The gold standard for EMI testing is to test outdoors in a big, open field far from any RF emitters. Even for some IoT devices, an outdoor test range is used for the final check.[1] Here's one for megawatt-range power gear.[2] For outdoor testing, the unit under test sits on a wooden or Fiberglas turntable, all alone, several hundred feet from anything else. Now you can make far-field measurements. RF anechoic chambers are used for convenience, so you don't have to go out in the boonies for test runs.

Some of these areas have valuable physical assets, and are inter-reticulated with the central city in such a way that their decay is at minimum an aesthetic concern for the city.

I think the author lead with East Cleveland for a reason. According to Wikipedia [1], East Cleveland contains the nation's first industrial park, historical millionaires' homes, and part of one of the main arteries into the city of Cleveland. Poking around on Google Maps shows that it also contains parts of two large and attractive parks (one attached to a historical cemetery where a US President is buried).

It would be hard to write this area off entirely.

My chihuahua was rescued on the streets of San Francisco after an unknown period of time fending for himself. He was a little underweight but not dramatically so. No signs of previous ownership (no chip, no collar, not neutered) so he was possibly just dumped somewhere at a young age (they estimated he was 1-1.5 yrs when found).

He fiercely guards food and will snap at anyone that reaches for him. He hunts insects including flies and cockroaches (he caught at least a few of those on our walks).

I don’t think he’d be as effective as a rat terrier, but I suspect he could hunt and kill field mice and maybe small rats.

> "Yeah but what about their water consumption?"

Sure, they use a lot of water compared to you and I, but their WUE is one of the best in the whole datacenter industry. Aside from reliability, GCP focuses on reducing PUE and WUE. Their efforts in reducing PUE have outpaced their WUE gains, but believe me, they're constantly working on improving their water consumption.

When they starting using AI in their datacenters[1] they saw pretty significant gains in both PUE and WUE, as an example.

As a contract developer on a social media project we started to use Watson for analysis of posts about companies (that were clients of our client) and we had to go another route due to the time constraints of using Watson as well as the fact there were easier ways to use existing libraries that did "one" ML / algorithmic task to accomplish what we were looking to do (sentiment mostly).

I believe Watson, the AI engine, is still an early concept for healthcare and the reason I say this is that my friend is working on a healthcare startup that collects a vast amount of information. Their partnership with IBM means they are required to share the information that they're collecting, possibly to provide Watson with training datasets in the healthcare space.
Just want to reiterate gripe #3. The Daily Mixes were, at first, the Best Thing Ever. But that was like a year ago, and they don't seem to have changed at all since then. I've listened to a lot of different music this past year, but keep hearing the same old songs on all the Daily Mixes. I'd expect them to update in more overt ways as my tastes evolved.
Wow, medium contents behind a login wall now? In the wise words of mean girls:

It's not a concern if you're one of the species that will likely survive it.
If there are things that you can't take with you but you'd like to optimize the chance of saving them, consider putting them in the refrigerator/freezer (replacing the food and ice therein) and in the washer and dryer (closing all of their doors/lids). Though they'll get very warm or even scalding hot due to the metal of the appliance, the contents may be shielded from the flames.
Yes they do. For our SaaS app I would say the contact / request information buttons are used 50-50 to sales outreach for enterprise customers.
Doesn't this prevent a lot of inlining? Or perhaps the compiler is smart enough in most cases?
I haven't tried either, no. They do look nice, but they still only solve part of the problem.

I have only been tasked with fixing setups on Jenkins, and a friend of mine has spoken at length about how difficult things are to set up.

Some of that is based on the difficulty in getting a Jenkins configuration into source control. For CircleCI, I know, the CI configuration goes in a configuration file that gets checked in to the repo.

Another big part is making sure the development environment is sane, and replicating it. When we were dealing with Jenkins, Docker didn't exist yet. I assume that build slaves running inside Docker are a thing now? Because that's another thing that CircleCI gives us.

Honestly, though, this is just a thing that's easier to outsource if you can. Running a Jenkins server on your own is valuable if you have business reasons ("Code cannot go onto a third party server!") or if you're doing testing that involves connected devices (build and deploy to this Android device, then run tests...). But apart from that or a similar motivation, why bother maintaining a server when services are available for fee or cheap?

As a Brit, I can't explain quite how foreign this logic is. It just blows my mind that people can think like this. Most American logic and way of life is remarkably similar. I feel like I understand the American way of life more than say Russian or Chinese. But guns are just such a fixation for the US more so than any other country.
The 2 that come to mind are DRF and django-webpack-loader. The webpack loader is great if you use webpack, and want to use the Django template language to render your index.html. Sometimes server side rendering of initial data is nicer than having to send all initial data down w/ AJAX calls.
> Wrong, due to an specific Anglo-American cultural meme.

We're talking about the US, so those "memes" are relevant.
It's funny how quickly you turn from a strict Constitutionalist to an activist judge based on your political views.

For instance, most left-leaning people probably think that in the civilian forfeiture rule, the judges should take a strict constructional interpretation of the constitution and forbid it.

However, when it comes to striking down immigration bans based on an economic argument[1], all of a sudden you want an activist judge.

I'm not saying I care either way, but I care about consistency. I think we are based on a common law system, and once an economic argument is successfully made it can be make at any time. If we're ok with that, we should be ok with civil forfeiture.

Jezter- The World's First Digital Babysitter

I believe it works like this:

1. Django for the backend. Nothing but an API (DRF, GraphQL, some custom views or whatever one fancies) and - if server-side rendering is not necessary - a catch-all view that spits out HTML file with the JS bundle. It either doesn't know anything about the frontend, or, possibly, can read Webpack stats file (using django-webpack-loader) to figure out correct bundle filename.

It may also run Django Admin Interface, independently from the SPA - as an almost independent "back office" site.

2. JS/TS/Elm/whatever and, probably, Webpack for the frontend/SPA itself. If server-side rendering is desirable, a Node-based server. All it knows about the backend is the API contract. Trying to somehow embed JS into Python/Django is not easy, error-prone, and I just don't see any benefits of doing so.

3. A router that sends requests to the correct piece. I've always used a simplest-possible nginx setup with location /api/ { ... } and location / { ... }.

In Memory of Dennis Ritchie: Remembering the Creator of Jobs, Torvalds and Gates
It will be very hard to tear down the walls of peaceful homogeneity, since Japan takes so many steps to preserve its culture.

Of the very few people who successfully naturalize as Japanese citizens, all of them have to legally take on a Japanese name. Japanese citizens are proud of their demographic and seek to maintain it.

This has worked very well for Japan. In all heterogeneous countries, you see strife for decades at a minimum---see the Irish immigrants in America in the 19th and 20th centuries---and centuries or eternity at a maximum---see African Americans.

There is a threshold of difference between ethnic groups where, if you cross this threshold, turmoil and hatred and discrimination will fester, no matter what. This can be seen in America, with its numerous, very distinct ethnic groups, and in Europe, with its massive influx of Middle Eastern and African immigrants. Regardless of how many want to get along, a large portion of both sides will inevitably hate each other, and will vote accordingly.

I'm not sure what the solution is to heterogeneous societies. I think it can be worked out. But it is insanity to claim multiculturalism works in its current state and homogeneity does not. All of the most peaceful, successful societies the world has seen so far have been largely homogeneous. Japan is a fantastic modern example.

Very similar, but one crucial difference: the provinces control funding to cities and equalize spending across county lines. So you don't end up with bankrupt cities, or super wealthy ones, and everyone tends to get the same services. Instead, at least in Toronto, you have "priority neighbourhoods".. poor communities that get extra funding and resources.

No change to inlining. The definitions are still in the headers and the compiler will still eagerly inline them if they are defined in the class declaration (as typical) or defined outside the class declaration and explicitly marked inline (less typical).

(Whether inlining of non-trivial methods is desirable is - and in fact recently was - a discussion for another HN story.)

Don't you have Daily Mixes? These are smart playlists created by Spotify organized roughly into genres, and you have can up to six - depending on how diverse your listening habits are. Right now I have:

Note they aren't named like this, I did that. Spotify identifies them only by a number and a few of the artists contained within. You can find them in the app on your Home screen or under Your Library > Your Daily Mix.

He avoids it as a topic of small talk because of how unusually heavy a topic it is. Besides, now he can direct friends and family to the blog post and avoid multiple variations of the same difficult conversation.

Well… it’s me he quoted and I’m Irish, not american. I wasn’t talking about the US only. Anyway, it’s not an american meme. In Dublin, there was a massive (and disastrous) effort to move the urban underclass from inner city tenements to what is now inner suburbs. Two generations before that, the upper middle class migrated from the inner city to (different) inner city suburbs.

The idea that cities are decrepit and suburbs are the future is a recurring one. Charles Dickens’ soot covered cities (in england, so I guess anglo-american?) existed and the middle class moved to the suburbs, much like americans.

The trend back into city centres today is wider than the US too.

Crypto arbitrage always seems so tempting, but there's so many gotchas. This site seems to do a good job of weeding out some of the gotchas by focusing on coins with high market caps.

Usually the "opportunities" in arbitrage that sites like this highlight ignore the fact that the targetted coin on one of the exchanges has abysmally low volume, so you'll be unlikely to be able to buy and sell it in time to take advantage.

Other gotchas include: time to transfer the coin between exchanges, fees involved (both in transfer and on the exchanges through buy/sell fees), and exchanges where deposits and withdrawals aren't fully automated (some Chinese exchanges were like this).
