The only downside to the Apple Watch in my book is the short battery life which should theoretically make it impractical for sleep tracking.

I was recently stupefied to discover Nokia Steel [1] and how virtually unknown it is to the general public, my former self included. It comes with great design, no bullshit digital screen, the usual tracking features, and most importantly seems like it's a return to form for Nokia, considering their country's outstanding design heritage.

edit: lol I forgot to mention the best part. THE BATTERY LASTS EIGHT MONTHS

> For years I had been planning how I would handle a MCI, but I rarely shared it because people might think I was crazy.

I should state up front I'm ex-military and volunteer for a disaster response organisation.

I find this to be incredible. Who in their right mind would ostracise a trauma professional for conducting such planning? In fact, who who dare not support such a professional to plan for such eventualities?

I actually can't quite believe the implication here, that there is a systemic reluctance to plan for such events. Maybe things are different in my country (UK) but this 'worry' the doctor has seems frankly absurd!

> The first thing I did was tell the secretaries I needed every operating room open. I needed every scrub tech, every nurse, every perfusionist, every anesthesiologist, every surgeon—they all need to get here right away.

I thought I'd misread the article, maybe I still have, but this sentence seems to back up the claim no MCI plan was already in place.

It may be a product of our troubled history and extensive threat of terrorism (including the Irish dissident threat) but here in the UK Major Incident Response planning is practised extensively, and not just for medical emergencies. Planning is in place at almost every level to deal with such incidents. Almost every large institution, let alone just hospitals/emergency services, will deliver a 'Major Incident Response plan' (just Google 'Major Incident Response Plan UK' and you'll get many many examples), which will almost universally include a Mass Casualty Response Plan.

Indeed, there is even an NHS Tactical Command Framework in place to deal with Mass Casualty Incidents that will usually span several local health trusts and setup a coordinated response framework dedicated to responding to incidents like these.

Equally, all local governments departments have well rehearsed responses, integrating tightly into the UK's Gold/Silver/Bronze Command response coordination structure. Usually our emergency services, military and hospitals will have physically practised inter-operability via joint exercise and will utilise other joint working practices like JESIP and the METHANE reporting system.

I know for a fact the US follows the very well planned ICS system which links into both FEMA and local/state level emergency planning. I find it absolutely unfathomable that no well rehearsed and fully scoped plan of similar thoroughness to the UK was ready to go and instead this doctor simply made it up on the hoof.

Despite my own disbelief, it seems this Dr. actually did have to make it up as he went along - what an amazing, stunning personal achievement, and what a devastating systemic failure.
> This could change if they keep trying to make more "interactive" the newer models though.

The airline wants to transfer equipment health data as soon as possible to its headquarters using air/ground communication systems (satcom, cellular, airport wifi...) to plan for maintenance and delays.

Pilots want to use their iPad to browse their mail and the logbook listing the history of system failures and displaying the current state of the aircraft to know if it is flyable.

The centralized maintenance system that provides these information to the airline and the pilots has to be connected to all avionic equipments to collect health data.

Now, everything is connected [1].

Prescriptions for schizophrenia medication have a very low compliance rate. Partly because schizophrenic patients are by nature prone to resisting their treatment (due to paranoia, delusions), and partly because antipsychotics are unpleasant to take pretty much all around (I don't know anyone who actively wants LESS dopamine).

I started using CockroachDB [1] recently and I'm really impressed with it overall. The Postgres compatibility is genius in my opinion, and despite some hurdles it's been a joy to work with (I'm using xo [2] to generate Go code from custom templates). I've yet to deploy it in production, but the best part is that if the performance sucks I can simply deploy postgres instead. As someone who used to be a big RethinkDB supporter, this is my new favorite pet oss project.

edit: oh, and it's written in Go, my main language, which is definitely a plus if you're a gopher

I believe these watches used to be known under the Withings brand which got bought by Nokia. Very nice design (Max Bill inspired I guess).

What is the reliable way to not miss your station when napping? I stay awake in commute because of this.
I don't disagree about many of those trade-offs, because they do happen. However, car dominant southern California is also a very big chunk of economic activity and also has much of that infrastructure that is actually updated (though, yeah, not very often, but there is a separate debate about whether it's an inept state legislature that manages an extremely large land mass or whether it's sprawl itself).

I feel like much of that could be improved by businesses at that point though. Why not set up shop in one of those suburbs (which I've seen many a company do over the years) and use that as a way to not only build up that area, but also bring with it people who are skilled in different fields and reduce general congestion?

I grant that that's a little pie in the sky, but I have seen it done, and even from startup levels.

Maybe this is something academia could lead in, as I've seen a lot of colleges that are setup in non-urban settings, and they could be the initial hub of activity and a talent pool for businesses to draw from.

I'm not saying you won't have the downsides of not having a large concentrated talent pool, and it for sure makes recruiting more time consuming, but if you're looking to build a company that is sustainable long term, employee satisfaction and happiness can be greatly improved by a dramatically shortened commute and affordable housing, at least in California.
The recruiting constraint also gives you a chance to explore alternative paths of hiring, such as hiring people with non-traditional backgrounds but who are uniquely gifted for what you're needing.
I know we have found some of our best developers in people who graduated with a wide array of degrees that wouldn't make sense on paper.
>The only consolation you get, if it is one, is that the C++ fans are screwed worse than you are. At least Rust has a real prospect of dramatically lowering downstream defect rates relative to C anywhere it’s not crowded out by Go; C++ doesn’t have that.

Except, C++ is updated frequently and is constantly addressing these concerns. With every update C++ is becoming safer and safer. C++ is a good bet. It's a language with an upgrade path vs throwing all your code away and rewriting it in the hottest new programming language.

If you accept the cost of a GC then C++ might look bad but there are already hundreds of alternatives to C++. If a gc is unacceptable then only C, C++ and Rust remain.
I think people are more concerned about future harm these guys will cause than punishing past behavior. If out of this 100 guys 5 end up doing some suicide attacks, killing 10 people each, yeah it does rationally makes sense to go for the preventing strikes (all made up numbers).

This summary page is a nice reminder of what an awesome project Linux actually is.

If I recall right, the mobility was measured by percentage of people who move out of their bracket. E.g. US kid born into 20% bracket is more likely to stay in that bracket. If you move, you make bigger jump (cause differences are bigger), but you are unlikely to move.
SQL View queries get their own REST endpoints or you can use Postgrest like a language agnostic ORM.
"Compliance" does not mean what you think it means here. In the context of medicine, it doesn't imply coercion any more than the phrase "doctor's orders." It just means "the patient is following the course of treatment prescribed by their doctor."
> I was talking specifically in the context of writing low-level C-like code, as discussed by my parent comment. You wouldn’t write “high-level C code” outside of C, there’s no need.

Not sure about that - if you want performance you might need to stick to the C way anyway, so maybe you can't take advantage of programming in a scripting language. I've heard of some cases where game programmers ported their game logic back from their script language to C/C++.

> For instance, you can often control and avoid memory allocations (but see below): in particular, if you write algorithms interfaces in the style of the standard library, your code will perform very few, if any, unnecessary allocations, and yet be fairly high-level.

Another problem with that approach is binary compatibility. Let's take the infamous std::string as an example (not even a templated class). The implementation is much more likely to change than e.g. const char pointer plus optional length, since also memory management and whatnot is needed.

If the implementation changes you are in trouble everywhere, including most of the places where a pointer and size would have been just fine (because no allocation is needed there).

That just happened to a coworker who now needs to setup a another system and build new binaries on it to support a customer's "old" platform (Ubuntu 14.04)

It seemed like such a simple treatment, that it should be relatively easy to test more widely... But whenever I've searched, I've not seen an update.

For those who haven't listened to the podcast, the treatment is effectively just being exposed to a 40Hz (IIRC) flashing light. Which sounds surprisingly simple.

I remember that with a very very old HTC. The bloody thing only had 256mb of storage or something. Everyone around me was convinced it was better of in the trash.

Then i found some crazy Russian developer that managed to shrink Cyanogenmod 11 to something extremely small. It was functional once again, although very slow and a little useless because it can't work with the current size apps. I learned a lot that weekend, which is always one of the main goals.

Bricking it is near impossible once you get the Clockwork bootloader running.
If it's only a few MB, I'd value the ability to backup the image together with the rest of the repo more than shaving a few MB off the repo.

Working with Idenitifcators in OnSave Callbacks
Not sure how well the APU's are supported on amdgpu yet, however, I used the amdgpu driver with a RX560 and RX570, in both cases it was incredibly stable and a simple matter of telling the mkinitcpio config to use the amdgpu module and not the radeon module when building the initramfs.

KMS should be supported out of the box with amdgpu.

Maybe enterprise folks who are the majority of Angular users go to SO first as they do with C# and Java questions. I worked in a few co-working spaces. Startups overwhelmingly favor React.

The SNR on Stack Overflow is becoming lower. Many of the more difficult questions have chosen answers which are outdated. Software is versioned and having one blessed and no version tags doesn't work in some cases. Try using the blessed answers to react-router which frustratingly breaks between each version.
My children are in a Montessori school. There is no evidence that children from most 'alternative' teaching systems do better or worse than those in 'regular' schools. My children like the school and it's conveniently located, so we have no intention of changing; but it's not the teaching system that makes or breaks a student (well, the more loony systems like Steiner schools have documented worse outcomes than other systems, so it's not hard to make schooling 'worse'; making them 'better' than mainstream systems is quite hard - despite all the armchair opinions on this topic here every other day when this comes up).

Measurements could be organic and self adjusting. In other words schools are required to accurately assess the average earnings, including nonearners, of each and every degree. Degrees above some rate, adjusted for location, qualify for funding - others do not. It could be on a scale rather than binary. Too many health care workers, funding for more pursuing it is completely organically reduced.

Another cool feature is that this further aligns the motivation of schools (who greatly benefit from 'reckless lending') and students. Reckless lending is only possible when the degrees being pursued are provably valuable.
That attitude isn't an impediment to them being a good engineer with a high level of professionalism. If you dont't mind paying their rate, what's the actual problem?

IMHO the engineers that don't have this attitude have a tendency to burn out.

You should rather hope for GNU/Linux phones. Linux devices (without the GNU part) is most of the time, just another locked device (see your Android phone, router, TV, etc).

The presence of GNU software pieces (or any software licensed under GNU [LA]GPL v3+) ensures the device is free of locks (or with user breakable locks).

.Net does have two major downsides that kill it for me entirely (as someone who has used it for 15 years now): schizophrenic roadmap and deprecation, immature libraries. The deprecation means you can't rely on the longevity of the vendor's whims to build your product on. The library issue is a biggie - there are just so much more higher quality libraries in Java. The language matters considerably less than the libraries do when you want to get from A to B.

Maybe the app I'm using for sleep tracking does not track enough things (sound is tracked with the phone, for instance, but heartbeat is tracked with the watch), but it only seems to consume 3-5% of battery of my watch (Series 2, small).

I think a game that successfully blurred the line was Demons Souls and its descendants. You would see the ghostly outlines of players doing the same level as you, you could read and leave messages for other players, and you could summon or invade another persons game. Still despite all this, it had very much the feel of a singleplayer game (and could be played as such).

Yes, mostly JS debugging.
1. Start with the fast.ai courses. It's an applied deep learning course using state of the art techniques.
2. For classical machine learning (regression, etc...), Andrew Ng's course on Coursera is widely considered "the basics"
3. As you progress, check out CS231 and CS224 from Stanford for state of the art image processing and natural language processing techniques. The lecture videos are on YouTube and the course assignments are available online. The third course I recommend is Geoffrey Hinton's neural networks course on Coursera (he is one of the most important researchers in the field).
4. If you're an application engineer, focus on using existing tooling to build cool projects. Keras and scikit-learn are great out of the box tools.
5. If you are more research oriented, you can start reading papers. In Silicon Valley, there's a meet up group that reads papers every Monday and tries to implement the algorithms in the paper. It takes a while to get to this level, but try not to get overwhelmed. Experts spend 7 years studying this stuff full time to get a PhD.
6. You really don't need much math to get started with ML. A high school understanding of calculus and some basic understanding of numerical optimization are the two main concepts you need to know. If you want to get into the research, there'll come a time when you will need more advanced math, but in my experience you can pick that up as you go along if you are curious.

Maybe you could start an AI study group online? The Silicon Valley study group was great, but I was just visiting.
