Ask HN: Has the ranking of articles recently changed?
I've recently noticed that articles I post here do not get much more than 5 karma, but usually just 1. In the past, I do believe that some of these articles would have made the front page or at least attracted more attention and discussion.

I've also noticed content that I post goes unnoticed and thereafter it appears on the front page but submitted by another user. In the past, these articles would sometimes automatically get reposted after a notification email is sent out by HN.

I've been apart of HN for more than 3 years with 8000+ karma in the account I post from.

I'm not here for karma. And I'm not writing this post for pettiness.

I'm just intrigued as to why stuff I submit does not get the same attention as before.
How about an option to make the Notification Center alert open the saved Finder location, rather than opening the movie in Quicktime?

Much easier to do something with the clip file, and you still have the easy (and perhaps better) option to watch it with QuickLook.
It stays artisanal because you can modify and craft your product even after it is shipped and used, now in real time with web apps.
It’s a quite unique mix of constant craft and creative changes with world scale instant distribution of these artisanal changes.

There is right now a programmer-artisan crafting some Google/Facebook/Startup code and this code will directly change the product. No intermediate.

It’s a lot more like radio and talk tv –where talents have to recreate each day their entire show, and creating the show is producing it– than the toy industry, where creation and production are entirely separate processes.
> The logs and alerts from blocked infection attempts are testament to this.

Infection attempts by what? Scans of phishing mail attachments they wouldn't have opened anyway? At least if they know what they are doing. In addition, many AV have this annoying habit of reporting quite a bit of false-positives based on sys-calls or some weird heuristics, this leads to the situation where even totally legit software, from a trusted source, triggers a warning.

Which then conditions people to just click past the warning, at that point you might as well not even run the AV at all and instead just scan individual files online through some virustotal-like service and teach proper user behavior.

Due to this dynamic installing a good ad-blocker will probably do more for the security of the average windows user than any AV software ever would.

> "In my experience, this is a common characteristic of the 10x programmer. It is not about frameworks, it is not about patterns; both things help, but it is really about to be able to run the system in your head."

I think this extends to users as well. Well before I knew how to program I'd approach new software as if I'd designed it myself, unconsciously putting myself in the mind of the designer. The applications I struggled to learn were those where I couldn't build a mental model of what it was doing and why.

This approach doesn’t work. If sensitive features are actually predictive (and they very often are), the model will just learn to predict these features based on the non-sensitive ones. For example, if you know that someone is 30 years old, lives in Bay Area, and earns less then 30k/year, if you bet that this person is neither white nor Asian, you are more likely to win this bet.

Right? He should be using a pile of frameworks on top of frameworks on top of a managed code environment with all the latest performance killing mitigation strategies. That's how we do things in 2018: keep adding crap until the software is slow and bloated.

It is understandable if you don't agree with this guy's approach to doing things, but it would be difficult to argue with its success. 7zip is a popular as it is because it is lightweight no-bullshit software that does its job and otherwise stays out of the way. We could stand to do with some more of that in 2018.

.net already has in-place allocated types (e.g. 'structs') which are dropped on the stack or inside the allocation of their owner (in the case of members fields), which explicitly covers most cases that escape analysis tries to handle implicitly. However, they still need to be heap-alloc'd when boxed (e.g. when used as a IEnumerator or something), which would definitely benefit from hotspot-style allocation-inlining (though the C# compiler already tries to do this prejit for common cases like iterators, too, for practicality's sake).

Very confusing. You say it uses JSON/XML (for data encoding) and also the "problem" is "how information is encoded". What is the encoding problem? And how could JSON/XML be the problem? These are fairly simple encoding formats and well understood.

Are you referring to the data model as the problem? How exactly?

Hopefully Apple entering the space will move things forward in terms of interoperability, but so far, this announcement doesn't really change the status quo. It seems like it's is coming out of Apple's participation in the Argonaut Project [1], which has been around for a few years and is (currently) the strongest vehicle for push FHIR and SMART on FHIR, but hasn't really seen wide participation.

They have 12 hospitals participating right now [2], which is in line with the ~10 systems that interoperability plays typically get on board. Apple has been moving on health records for a while, with their acquisition of Gliimpse [3] a couple years ago a clear indication, and I had hoped that Apple would have been able to get more systems participating before they made an announcement. 12 systems is a far cry from the 5,500 hospitals [4] and 230,000 practices [5] in the US.

In order to make medical records really useful for people, they needs to have all of their records. That means records from whatever system they've been seen at, and all of the information in those records. Every purely electronic approach to aggregating records that I've seen doesn't get doctors notes, procedure reports, pathology reports, radiology reports or medical imaging (x-rays, MRIs, CTs, etc). Sadly, it looks like Apple's attempt also won't address those issues.

Collecting medical records is an extremely hard problem. Technical integration is not only expensive and annoying (see many other comments about the shittiness of HL7, which FHIR is the latest, least-bad iteration of), but health systems don't have strong incentives to push interoperability. Health systems have way bigger IT problems facing them than aligning with interoperability standards (e.g., update the failing, 10-year-old software in the pediatric ICU), releasing records automatically could open them up to a lot ill-defined of legal risk (is a health system liable for what happens to information it releases to third parties?), and interoperability is kinda against business incentives (more interoperability => easier to lose patients). It doesn't look like Apple is taking a fundamentally different approach than Google Health did to any of these incentive problems (if we build, it they will come).

I feel like the implications of what she was saying are a little vague, so I'm not sure what she meant here.

I think the main point is that this is still early days for defining a mathematical measure for 'fairness'.

Wouldn't it be better to have a model that could tell whether an individual will be more susceptible to defaulting or crime based on their context, and not strictly because of their gender or race? I think that is the point here, because otherwise it would be a biased prediction.
AFAIK this trick was never possible in .NET because Substring always 'deep copied' the relevant data into a completely new string
It was true before smartphones came onto the scene.
The Navy is less about slow influence and more about

1. maintaining logistical access for the Army/Marines (aircraft from carriers, surface combatants, and attack submarines)

2. doing the Air Force's job with lower latency where there are insufficient basing opportunities, especially in low-intensity situations (aircraft from carriers and missiles from surface combatants)

3. higher-survivability forces for the Air Force's job in high-intensity global conflicts (ballistic missile submarines)
Care plans and diagnosis codes are very different things.

Just because a coder massages the specific codes in use doesn't mean the clinicians are altering care.

Honestly, there's a lot of new incentive structures on care givers and their institutions focused on so many things, like reducing readmissions (thereby reducing all forms of medical error in the process), or forming provider cohorts and using comprehensive comparison metrics between similar hospitals in similar areas and situations, to incentivize and reward those facilities which achieve the best care.

And, on the subject of the MR/EHR itself, of course most of it is unbiased! Do you think your lab results, prescriptions, vital signs, demographics are subject to bias? Your medical record isn't where a doctor leaves a long note about their opinion of you. It's where all that stuff above, and allergies, and outpatient care history, and inpatient history, and all kinds of factual unbiased things go.

The wikipedia for curcumin suggests that it is not bioavailable. The results of this study are attributed to the supplement Theracurmin, which is a bioavailable form of curcumin. So maybe don't bother increasing your turmeric intake based on this study.

Lots of people won't realize that though, and by the time this research gets through the news cycle people will be buying turmeric in bulk. Good time to buy stocks in turmeric producers?

Apple Releases Swift Playgrounds 2.0 with Third-Party Subscriptions
I think Authy has a version of their app for the Apple Watch. Not sure how it works in practice, but you should be able to use it for 2FA on websites as you'd expect. Of course, it probably still depends on your phone, like most Apple Watch stuff seems to.

Speaking of authentication and watches, I like the approach Apple uses, where it stays unlocked until it stops sensing a pulse, and then requires the passcode again. So it's convenient as long as you're wearing it, but it locks up when it's taken off.

He did seem to nod silently a lot, but I'm not so sure if he was against conversation per se. Rather, he wasn't big on conversation that served no good purpose.

> "There are these ten topics of [proper] conversation. Which ten? Talk on modesty, on contentment, on seclusion, on non-entanglement, on arousing persistence, on virtue, on concentration, on discernment, on release, and on the knowledge & vision of release. These are the ten topics of conversation. If you were to engage repeatedly in these ten topics of conversation, you would outshine even the sun & moon, so mighty, so powerful — to say nothing of the wanderers of other sects." - AN 10.69

Glanced at the study. The supplement appeared to be 90mg of curcumin, taken twice daily.

A quick google search says there are about 15 mg per tablespoon. That would mean you'd need to eat about 6 tbsp of turmeric to get a comparable amount. Probably even more so, since I don't think turmeric is pure curcumin. For reference, the average curry or other dish using turmeric in my household takes about 1 tbsp, so at a glance I would consider it impractical to get that much naturally through your food.

My next curiosity would be whether a smaller amount can show similar benefit, or whether it needs to be at a level only available in a supplement.

> Infection attempts by what?
In January I've seen logs blocking drive-by malware attempts, lots of infected email attachments and an infected USB stick.

These are not false positives. They were not legitimate software from trusted sources. The logs I read were real-world true positives and they were not inconsequential trivia like tracking cookies or the like.

I don't think that in any of the cases the user would have had a warning to blindly click through.

Not entirely sure how an advert blocker can stop email or device-carrying malware.
p7zip was also patched. 18.00 doesn't have the bug, but it looks like Peazip hasn't been updated with it.

I'm not sure what other FOSS alternative to use. BandiZip is free (as in beer) but doesn't seem to have an update since Sept, so if it uses p7zip under the hood for 7z, it's also vulnerable.
You are ignoring the context of the discussion, which is to compare PCs to consoles in a living room. The gp comment explicitly said he gave up PC gaming as he did not want to play at a desk. And my point is that PC gaming is so damn good that even if you ignore a bunch of amazing games by limiting yourself to a controller you are still left with a huge library of games that are generally cheaper to buy and run best on PC, especially as they age.

Yes, the out-of-game UX is worse on PC. Steam makes it easy with Big Picture Mode but other clients do not, and sometimes Windows needs babysitting. You can get a small wireless mouse & keyboard or a combo like this [1]. I use an app [2] that lets me use my phone as a touch pad and a keyboard. It also lets you minimize & switch between windows & shut down the PC. When you install a new game client configure it to remember your password. When you install a game put a link for it on the desktop. The core flow is pretty good but yeah sometimes there will be pop-ups to update drivers or install updates or something else. I still think that the major performance and price benefits offered by PCs are well worth it. I am also not a fan of modern console UIs which are increasingly show more ads.

Depends on which meaure of good in use obviously, but I have never seen anyone capable of being efficient over significant time spans without in some way having design and architecture be guided by principles that balance cost of change, cost of implementation, and difficulty of understanding.

Ignoring cost of change can be absolutely devastating in the long run, but believing you can somehow scry the future for all possible extension points necessary is equally so.

Designing for (anticipated) change in my mind is not at all about adding hooks, API's, or any code at all for that matter.

I think of it more like making sure your system respect analogues to gravity and the other natural laws as best translated into the more abstract relations relevant for the particular kind of system you are building.

One could call it programmer and refactoring friendly design and not miss the target by much.
If true, just as well. Given we're already so far beyond the living planet's carrying capacity (nearly every ecosystem is already in rapid decline) replicating European 'prosperity' (actually future-theft) would be cataclysmic. Extend-and-pretend 'economics' (ie. 18thC superstition) just pushes all the decisions out to a future that never arrives.

No, she's saying that if the input data is itself skewed, then one method of fixing the model you generate is to apply corrections to the calibrating parameters.

Imagine we have a 50/50 population of purple and orange people. We know that purple offenders are caught twice as often for a certain crime, and 10 purple offenders are caught and 5 orange offenders are caught. If we run our data and our model predicts that we're getting substantially more purple offenders, then we know our model is wrong - it isn't taking into account the skew due to differential enforcement.

How do you fix this? She gives 3 methods. 1) Change the params to normalize, 2) resample and get better data, 3) use causal reasoning and other data to plug in the holes.

Why on earth would you want to blog on github?!
All of that said, guys, there are plenty of popular languages right now that don't have true parallelism. Also if you really need parallelism you could do threading in C and link against it, so I don't know if lack of out-of-the-box parallelism really qualifies as a severe limitation per say. I will definitely add a section about this however.
Well, the 80% accuracy the author reaches isn't anywhere near what you need in production for text classification. Imagine classifying all of Twitter with that... I don't want to make this look bad - the author did a great job at this "introduction to text mining" article. But the results are a far cry form prediction ready, as I hope would be obvious: Anything but a tiny false positive rate will just produce infinite false alarms (or miss all relevant cases).
