Great answer. Especially because it's a) so logical and b) so against "generally accepted practice".

I never provide or look at anyone else's code before getting to know them for these and many other reasons, but mainly because a repository is in such a vacuum, without context or correlation to what the person really can do.

To paraphrase an old mentor: "Someone with a perfect repository is either faking it or has never taken enough chances."
I personally do it just before scrolling. I'll highlight a few lines of text 2/3 down the page, then scroll until it's right at the top of the page. It's an easy way to avoid losing my place.

I've also seen people who use the highlighted block to follow their gaze, though I can't speak to the logic behind that.
I often use highlighting as a positional anchor, often when tired. My eyes begin to lose focus and I can end up reading the same line over-and-over again.

In some cases contrast highlighting doesn't work, particularly on macOS since it doesn't seem to change the text color on highlight. It's notoriously bad in my experience when trying to read a downvoted comment on HN. You end up with a super light text on a very pale blue, that is even harder to read.

A colleague of mine recently wrote about exactly this.

Here's a few excerpts:

If your goal is to be heard, you need to fucking scream! We spend so much time crafting our thoughts into these prefect morsels of information, yet so little time finding an audience to read and acknowledge our work. The average blogger spends roughly 3.5 hours creating a blog post, yet only about 15 – 20 minutes promoting it.

It’s published! My work is over, it’s time to celebrate. Ugh, nope. It’s what you do after you hit that publish button that will set you apart from the rest.

Don’t believe the “if you build it, they will come” fallacy. It’s the single biggest reason most bloggers fail to secure an audience for their content and ignore the 80/20 principle. Having said that, finding an audience is no easy feat. In fact, most successful bloggers will argue it takes considerably more effort than the blog post itself. It’s a slow and steady process as each little plug here, a share there, a mention or a comment compounds the next until you start seeing serious results.

> Apple is using a leading healthcare standards organization (HL7)'s clinical data specification

I'm very hesitant to use either the words "leading" or "standard" with respect to HL7. HL7 is an incredibly backwards and antiquated model. It's a disaster to try and work with or implement in any way.

And, to make matters worse, it's not even really a standard - at least not in the way web developers would use the word. You have a separate HL7/ADT feed for every combination of (hospital, vendor) because no two work exactly the same way.

I think it matters because it determines what kind of people you would hire to do the R&D.

You absolutely should own your records. In my view there should be a central location for all your records that is controlled by you. Then you should be able to give doctors access to them as needed. But the owner of your records is you, not the doctor, not the hospital.

As someone that has interviewed hundreds of people. Nothing unless they really want me to look at it.

As someone that still loves to code even tho I'm in management, I've found out that writing beautiful code get's in the way of getting shit done!

When I code for myself, it's either to explore or practice. Beautiful code is not the goal. If I'm exploring a new idea, then one thing I like to do is to make it happen as fast as possible by any means necessary. I don't care about comment, duplication, abstraction, tests, optimization.

That's what you will find in my github, I don't do resume driven development where I write code hoping to get hired because of it.
Yeah, I agree that there is definitely a productivity dip as a team grows in size.
We pay for office365 basically because Excel has no serious alternatives. Founders use Powerpoint. And that's about it.

Also, Microsoft have gotten stupid and lazy with Office. Each app eats 2 gig disk, all from non-shared Resources/Fonts/crap.

Apple's extortionate pricing on mbp disks and the inability to upgrade them for less than the price of an entire new computer. There's a hacky way to fix this.

I had a manager that loved Java. He wanted to add a new helper service onto an existing service that was written in Python, but the new service would be Java (because Java is the best, obviously).

This new helper was responsible for transforming, combining, and synthesizing large API responses with somewhat variable and highly nested data structures into other large API responses with somewhat variable and highly nested data structures. It certainly was not Java I was proud of, but it would have been trivial (and FAR more readable) in Python. Ugh.

If you're presenting what you have on Github to a potential employer as a shining example of what you're capable of, then yeah, it should be polished as hell, because you are literally presenting it to someone as an example of the heights that you're capable of and why they should hire you.

If instead it's just a casual place where you mostly just plop random stuff to share with friends, that's fine too, but don't show it to a potential employer, any more than you would send them links to all those social media posts that you don't want them to judge you by. It's pretty simple.

If you're going through some company's hiring process and slip in a, "hey, by the way, check me out on Github", they will naturally interpret its contents as an example of you at your best, because otherwise why would you want them to check it out? Job seekers don't go out of their way to publicize their Github output on their resume if it's just a place for brain dumps and code snippets. Nothing wrong with using it that way of course, but it's not a useful thing to show to hiring managers, in the same way that I wouldn't go out of my way to show them my class notes or old tests from college. It's not relevant, and may even give them the wrong impressions.

Not everyone can post their work on GitHub, so I only look at their profile if they list it on their resume. I figure if you put it there, you want me to see it.

For early-career people (with limited work experience in the field) I look to see what tutorials they've done. I don't expect high code quality, but active engagement instead of copy-paste is nice to see.

If they've contributed to any OSS projects I look at things like:

- How they interact with maintainers and other people

- The quality of their PRs if any

- How well they communicate issues and file bugs. Attitude

matters a lot (offering helpful ways to reproduce it and suggestions rather than attacking the project for faults)

If they have any of their own projects I look at code quality. I deal mostly with Python and it's pretty easy to tell from a glance how experienced the person is. Things like following lint/style and style guides but also readability in general. You can smell out a C/JS programmer who just learned Python pretty easily (lots of for loops with indexes, for example).

If they collaborate on projects with others that's a huge plus. I look for signs of active collaboration, like PRs with good code review.

Basically I want to make sure:

- They're not exaggerating their experience (though GitHub profiles can be out of date)

- They work well with others

Again, just because a GitHub profile is sparse or missing some of these things isn't a signal. Not everyone does their work on GitHub. But if you list it in your resume, expect me to read it.
This doesn't reflect my experience working in large teams. Usually there's some amount of cost devoted to managing (e.g. a dedicated manager, processes, etc.) the overhead of a larger group of individuals.

Poorly managed projects (usually) collapse if the cost becomes higher than the benefit
An easy explanation is that you can think of GPUs as being massively hyperthreaded. So, when one thread hits a data stall, another thread picks up to use the ALU resources until it hits a stall, and so on through many, many threads before it cycles back to the original. But, data stalls are very long. And, if you don't have enough ALU for the other threads to work on before they stall too, you'll end up back on the first thread waiting for data anyway.

If you want to understand low-level GPU architecture, https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/a-trip-through-the-... is a great intro.

> Yes--HIPAA provides a mechanism for fines to be levied against (most) healthcare organizations that suffer data breaches through the office of civil rights (OCR), with a public reporting of organizations that have been penalized.

Unfortunately, HIPAA is an incredibly rigid, incredibly broad law, and it's applied to a field in which security practices are incredibly inconsistent.

As a result, HIPAA violations are pretty commonplace, and the vast majority are never reported to HHS, let alone penalized.

A few steps:

1) Find examples where people have gone through the analysis already. Blogs and books help.

2) First read the whole process from start to finish and then replicate what they did line by line.

3) Write extensive notes on why each line is necessary.

4) After you've done about 20-30 of these, level up into not reading the whole process. Just start at line one like they did and try to guess what should be done next. This allows you to check your thought process against someone else's thought process.

5) Do about another 20-30 of the #4 steps.

The reason you want to do the above is that a) it'll teach you how others people think about EDA, b) it'll force you to explain to yourself why people did what they did, c) you can wrote through already written out solutions, and d) once you get to steps 4 and 5, it allows you to see what has sunk in and what you're forgetting.

The tragic tale of how two pop stars fooled the whole world
This is great that data are encrypted and solely accessible by user and sharing by user.

This does two things- puts patient in control of their health data as they are the only only able to pull together medical data from all their sources (try getting 5 hospitals to share data with each other) and it’s a sustainable business model since the device manages storage/backup/whatever.

There have been personal health records for a decade (remember Google Health) but they never made money and/or were oriented around research needs or clinical needs; not patient needs. So they shriveled up a bit because they lost money (eg, Google Health) or are hard to use (eg, HealthVault).

Personally I would like some way to navigate through the whole thread in some sort of reasonable order. My preference would be depth-first with the leaves sorted by the most recent post /in that subtree/. This matches how tools like newsreaders and Mutt will sort threads, and I believe how Gmane worked as well. (Though I will admit that for something like a web site that does not keep the state of whether posts are read or not, reordering leaves like that may be confusing. In a tool like Mutt it is useful behavior as when new posts come in they will naturally gravitate to the bottom [or top, depending on your sort order] of your message list).

In particular I'd like to be able to, starting with a particular post, repeatedly hit "next" and be assured that once I hit the next sibling post to the original I've read that entire subthread. Gmane let you do this just by whacking the space bar; if you weren't at the bottom of a post it would page down, if you were it would go to the next one.

In other words I'd like it to behave as much like a good NNTP newsreader as possible.

Absolutely wonderful article. Your blog in general is incredible - nice to see folk maintaining such great blog content outside of Medium. Also gotta say - the quality of your photo sets, in particular NZ are just jaw dropping.

Regarding your LR benches any ideas why your 7700K setup was so much slower than your iMac and MBP in Lightroom? Seems odd how much faster the 8700K OC is...

On a related not I ran a similar test comparing a 7700K build with a GTX 1070 vs a maxed out Macbook Pro 2015 15". The Macbook Pro was 25% faster which is bizarre given that the 7700K is ~30% faster in single and multi-threaded performance.
Honestly, the main thing I'm looking for is that they have a Github account that's more than a couple of weeks old and has some sort of content in it.

Missing Indexes in MS SQL or Optimization in No Time
Wow. I haven't worked with HL7 since ~2004 and I was hoping it had changed, but apparently not. With HIPAA everything starting moving to X12 formats which had smaller file sizes and were much easier for developers to work with.

I'd be curious to know why Apple went with HL7. Was it a limitation of the EHRs they're integrating with? A demand of the hospitals?
Yes. I know :-) I wanted to convey the idea quickly for those who are unfamiliar with it.
Problem is being able to monetize.
My understanding:

GPUs are (generally) in-order within each thread, but they are pipelined. The pipeline is filled with instructions that are ready to execute from across many threads. If all threads have an unmet dependency (previous instruction or memory access), the pipeline will stall.
Apple's ARKit extended to track vertical surfaces and markers
> It seems like Apple's interest in health data is an important part of their unusual concern for user privacy. The less secure the phone, the more problems they'll have with something like HIPAA.

Not really - I don't see a way in which any of Apple's statements or motions with regard to user privacy have any implications for HIPAA compliance.

HIPAA is a really arcane law, and it actually largely wouldn't even apply to the sorts of stuff being discussed here, because HIPAA doesn't cover anything that happens after the user receives the data. Broadly speaking: if it's encrypted in transit, once it reaches the phone, it doesn't matter if the phone is compromised or not; that wouldn't be a HIPAA violation either way.
