You see a lot of turmeric and a ton of other spices and herbs in SE Asian cooking too. But I really wouldn’t say that these populations are particularly healthier.

The idea that modern medicine is ‘playing catch-up’ is laughable. For every home remedy they get right, they probably get many others wrong.

I agree drug companies are still fairly evil.
> Is the data transmitted from the phone in a format that Apple has the means (without grabbing further keys) to decrypt?

I don't know for certain, but based on how Apple handles other sensitive user data I would hazard a guess of "no". Apple makes their money selling devices, not user data, so they tend to choose to implement solutions that protect user privacy first. (I am not claiming that this is always the case, nor am I claiming that they do not make any money from user data, but they do handle privacy very differently from the other major corporations.)

I wonder if the benefits of doubling CO2 would be greater for nitrogen fixing plants, as they would be less likely to become nitrogen-limited.
Yep code reviews are great.

Similarly; learn new frameworks and languages. As you learn things that are unfamiliar to you, you will start to understand why they were designed (or evolved) that way. You can then decide whether you agree with the decisions or not from an informed perspective.

Just Released TvOS 11.2.5 [IPSW Download Link] Jailbreak Apple TV 4K
Am I understanding the abstract correctly:

This research is basically using laser(s) in some manner to "trap" one or more dust particles (using something called "a photophoretic trap created by spherical and astigmatic aberrations") and move them around (not sure how - maybe mirrors, or some kind of phased array?) quickly - scanning what seems to be multiple light sources (best guess - an RGB DLP or similar projector system)...?

That's what I got from the abstract, anyhow - I could be completely wrong. It's neat, no matter how it's being done, though.

EDIT: Just to clarify - they are using lasers to move a trapped "particle(s)" scanning a 3D volume with this particle, while selectively illuminating it using normal RGB light sources. The "particle" basically forms a physical "retroreflective point" for the light sources to bounce off of, forming a "virtual" screen.
It will be interesting to watch the proportion of safe/unsafe code in large Rust codebases over time.

Sounds like it's not thin air, but some kind of medium... maybe vaporized glycol?

I could see this being used in a cyberpunk film. You enter a foggy dimly lit room, and the projection system vaporizes a THC/glycol combo, and also uses it to project VR Wizard of Oz.

> "I think it's harder now for someone to say, let's do things completely differently. Everybody nowadays is all about incremental changes."

There is room for radical change, but you have to know how to make your own space for it.

To give an example, I think the opportunities for reconfigurable computing are huge, and that we've barely scratched the surface. However, building a whole new platform based on that idea doesn't make practical sense (at least, not yet). What would be best is to sneak it in the back door. For example, design a new open-source FPGA-based sound card. That way, you can get reconfigurable chips into people's computers. After you've got a decent install base, you can expand into new uses for those chips, similar to how GPGPU expanded the utility of GPUs.
This is not a “time bomb”, which implies something being inflicted on us by a malevolent agent. It’s a temperature bomb. And we can easily prevent the explosion by simply not making the planet too hot.
I believe it is not difficulty level problem but the fact that due to value types existence in .NET it was ok to live without escape analysis for so many years (like @cpeterso also pointed out).

> this is a common characteristic of the 10x programmer. It is not about frameworks, it is not about patterns

IMO, the hope is that tooling can somehow obviate the need for 10x programmers (and their annoying salary requirements) by putting enough guard rails in place. But the reality is additional layers of abstraction all come at a cost (computational/cognitive), systems thinking is still required (the core trait of effective programmers), and, most importantly, great programs aren't made by distilling current best practices into tools.

As much as the industry tries, it can't replicate hard-won experience.
Wow! Surprised by that, didn't expect there to be such variation from person to person.
In a sense, it[programming] still is[artisanal], and always will be.

Certainly, programs will continue to be made essentially "by hand". But as Nelson goes on in the discussion, he expands his statement to mean something universe programming literacy, "citizen programmers" produce programs for each other. Despite some stabs at putting programming in elementary school curriculum, we're fairly far from that.

Try looking at Stack Overflow questions in a particular subject area. If you can answer 80% you're probably on top of it. If you can answer <20% you're probably a long way from mastering that subject and need to practice more.

Many of those questions probe really odd behaviours you'll rarely see, so they're great training. 95% of what you do as a developer uses maybe 1-2% of your actual knowledge. It's the remaining 5%, those ugly bugs, those quirky edge cases, that really test you.

The more you can expose yourself to those outliers, the more quickly you can gauge your knowledge. It helps assess if you're really good at just going through the motions, or if you actually have a deep understanding.
The standard will generally get you 80-90% of the way there.

There are a lot of factors that go into why the standard fails to be plug-and-play. The fact that v2 is essentially a glorified, somewhat standardized CSV instead of a prettier JSON has next to nothing to do with it.

troyastorino's sibling comment nails a lot of it. There's no standard model for the underlying data, which makes it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to have a standard transmission format for the data. Literally every individual facility you'll look at is unique and will have their own registration workflows, code sets, etc.

The old V2 spec isn't what I'd call good, but it works. It's ugly to look at, but it's not difficult to work with, either.

The problems you're addressing, however, are far more fundamental to the industry itself and aren't going to be solved by an interchange format.
> Ok, let me be more precise. The universal healthcare system which pays for the large majority of healthcare costs in most developed countries does not work as an insurance (it’s paid by taxes or compulsory affiliation unrelated to actuarial risk)

As pointed out at the beginning of this thread, even in the US, health insurance is "insurance" in name only. Premiums are not set by actuarial risk (with the binary exception of smoking status).

That was the whole point of this subthread: there is no such thing as "actual healthcare insurance", because actual insurance is not a model that's applied to healthcare in any OECD country.
Yeah I mean, to be clear, it's cool zig checks this stuff. Unsafe code is extremely dangerous, in a variety of ways.

Luckily, outside of FFI, it's very rare to actually need to write it, though that does of course depend on what exactly you're doing.

We hope, in the future, to basically have tooling here that can detect when you do something UB, and warn you. As we're still sorting out the memory model, etc, it's not here yet, but it's certainly on the agenda.
There are side effects to be aware of taking curcumin together with other medications:

"Medications for diabetes (Antidiabetes drugs)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Turmeric might decrease blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking turmeric along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to go too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.

Some medications used for diabetes include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), glipizide (Glucotrol), tolbutamide (Orinase), and others."

Turmeric might slow blood clotting. Taking turmeric along with medications that also slow clotting might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding.

Medications changed by the liver (Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrates)
Interaction Rating: Moderate Be cautious with this combination.
Talk with your health provider.
Some medications are changed and broken down by the liver. Turmeric might decrease how quickly the liver breaks down some medications. Taking turmeric along with some medications that are broken down by the liver can increase the effects and side effects of some medications. Before taking turmeric talk to your healthcare provider if you take any medications that are changed by the liver.

Some medications that are changed by the liver include some calcium channel blockers (diltiazem, nicardipine, verapamil), chemotherapeutic agents (etoposide, paclitaxel, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine), antifungals (ketoconazole, itraconazole), glucocorticoids, alfentanil (Alfenta), cisapride (Propulsid), fentanyl (Sublimaze), lidocaine (Xylocaine), losartan (Cozaar), fexofenadine (Allegra), midazolam (Versed), and others."

Not bad. I do worry about the containment vessel not being much bigger than the reactor. That was part of the problem at Fukishima. When the reactor overheated and turned the cooling water to steam, the pressures were too high and the containment was breached.

Three Mile Island had a big containment vessel, and when they had a partial meltdown, the containment held.

So I just tried to compile 7-Zip with VS2017 and /DYNAMICBASE. The main binary 7z.dll is 1,569,792 bytes in total, 9344 bytes (0.595%) of which are used by the relocation table. Enabling stack canaries (/GS) gives me a 1,578,496 byte binary (including the relocation table), so another 8704 bytes more.

That "low level violence", within a city (for example) is best fixed by settling the disputes and inequalities which cause it, rather than intervening with force.

The experiment doesn't mention humans, nor talks about anything being "caused" by skin color -- agents don't have skins, for that matter, they have steel armors. Talking about humans here is counterproductive, because people tend to get quite emotional and irrational when talking about these topics, so it is good to focus on abstract examples.

You might ask what is the reason the blue agents have higher default rate, and this might provoke an interesting discussion, but it does concern the creditor only as far as the interest rate they need to charge to make money is concerned. The creditor does not care if there is some "fair" or "unfair" reason why blue agents default more often, they just want to make money by focusing on what they know best, which is giving loans and collecting interest.

Hi... ActivityPub co-editor here. I linked to it elsewhere in the spec, but my paper at Rebooting Web of Trust addresses some of this: https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust...

Currently ActivityPub servers in practice use HTTP Signatures and Linked Data Signatures, so there's a certain amount of proof of the origin of messages there. But in moving towards a much more peer to peer system, we can do even better by stripping out SSL Certificate Authorities and DNS altogether. The paper linked above discusses one path to accomplishing that in ActivityPub using DIDs. Hope that's interesting to you!

Just some quick questions regarding the volunteer flow chart in the paper (sorry for those of you behind a subscription paywall). What do the authors mean when a patient was excluded for an abnormal MRI? Why were only 30/40 of the remaining participants' PET scan data analyzed? Was it due to sufficient power?

Some other random questions

The authors used a "t test" for continuous measures of data. What kind of t-test though? Since these are repeated measures over time, I have been told a dependent t-test is needed. Is that what was used? PROC MIXED in SAS has a parameter for "repeated" measures, so I would assume so but it's really not clear.

Very interesting paper, and I will hopefully be reading it in full shortly.

There isn't one Java, rather lots of it.

I'm in industry, but have similar leanings of wanting to work on this stuff. For a few years I was convinced academia was the way to do this; now I'm not certain. It's as if the collective capacity of dreaming about the possibilities of computing was lost when we realized we could make lots of money. Instead of building bicycles for the mind, we're obsessed with building TV 2.0, and getting lots of money doing it. Nowadays I see my meager, fledgling research as art pretty much.

I don't know where I'll end up long-term, but I doubt I'm the only person that feels this way. I've occasionally thought of starting a Slack for this sort of thing.
