There is no medical specialty dedicated to anyone who loses an infant or pregnancy, but there is a whole industry dedicated to creating new embryos and conceiving. Seriously, after our stillbirth we contacted UCSF, Stanford, and the Mayo Clinic and the receptionist on the phone that we spoke with did not know what kind of doctor we should see. Reproductive endocrinologists deal with infertility, and MFMs typically deal with diagnosed problems during a pregnancy. One of the nurses even told us that we 'needed to have a diagnosis' before we could see a particular MFM. I asked if he could run the diagnostic tests, and she simply said 'he doesn't do diagnosis'. So then what do they do? We called the REs and they told us they don't deal with late pregnancy loss.

Studies on sudden infant death and pregnancy loss are actually few and far between compared to studies on helping older women with poor egg quality conceive. Both the friend I talked about and my wife and I are in our early 20s. The last 'breakthrough' with regard to stillbirth and late miscarriage was made in the 80s with the discovery of anti-phospholipid syndrome, but there has been no new conditions or treatments in the past 40 years. Most of this is due to a lack of research and funding, in comparison to infertility, which for some reason is incredibly well-funded.

I'm just saying we should question if we're actually spending our resources equitably.

That is roughly what I take from it. Graeber presents evidence to back up the idea that debt is precisely that which cannot be repaid or quantized and that the attempt to do so is "naturally" (from several examples) taken as an abnormal or hostile act. There are some really fascinating anthropological stories to support this. I really recommend the book.

I think social work is a hard work "lifestyle" but also hard in the sense the problems you are trying to solve are very hard. In banking / consulting advisory work, the problem is making the client happy, which is not easy but not as hard as rapidly scaling a software system, or "solving" the problems like ptsd or homelessness that social workers deal with.

In total there are 2,666 emojis in the Unicode Standard as of June 2017.
Because the unicode bureaucracy has to legitimize its own existence now that they have encoded the glyphs of every major writing system on the planet.
And to add to this Unto Others (Sober and Wilson). That has a much more specifically genetic/evolutionary slant to it. I liked it a lot.
Native WinAmp has two dropin extension systems. The one everybody seemed to use was MilkDrop, but they also had AVS (Advanced Visualization Studio), for which I wrote a bunch of extensions about a decade ago. These included several composition dlls (multi-lane video pipes, MIDI control, joystick control, 30 sec rolling video recorder/playback) and also a number of effects (image animations, placers, blenders, oscillators). This made for a very engaging interactive experience, especially flying through using the joystick to control pretty much any set of parameters. Turns out the visualizers have hidden strange attractors that never appear when just using passive mode. That was in XP, I have waiting a Windows 7 build TODO.

I'm semi-guessing the browser re-implementation does not support these. Pity.

Hopefully this leads to the use of emojis in scholarly articles in the field of biology.
Question: the Wikipedia article on this subject [1] gives this example as a case where including the comma would create ambiguity:

To my mother, Ayn Rand, and God

The ambiguity is that dedication could be read as a dedication to two entities:

To <my mother, Ayn Rand>, and <God>

or to three entities:

To <my mother>, <Ayn Rand>, and <God>

I agree with that.

However, isn't it also ambiguous WITHOUT the Oxford comma?

It can be to three entities, same as with the comma:

To <my mother>, <Ayn Rand> and <God>

but it could also be taken as to one entity:

To <my mother>, <Ayn Rand and God>

The Wikipedia page (at the moment) does not consider the one entity interpretation.

It seems to me that the ambiguity in this comes not from the Oxford comma's presence or absence, but rather from whether or not the comma after "mother" is part of an appositive phrase.

Offhand, I don't think I've seen an example where an unambiguous sentence without an Oxford comma becomes ambiguous with the addition of the comma. All the ones I can recall have another ambiguity from an appositive phrase or similar without the Oxford comma and the Oxford comma at most just changes the ambiguity.

On the other hand there are sentences that are unambiguous with the Oxford comma that become ambiguous if it is removed.

This suggests that the Oxford comma should always be used when the list has more than two items, and it is appositive phrases that we need to be scrutinizing.

For appositive phrases, maybe we should use parenthesis instead of comma? In the above examples the appositive phrase cases become:

To my mother (Ayn Rand) and God

To my mother (Ayn Rand and God)

> What do you have in mind for instance?

Well I had to do a little dashboard application and the interfacing from C++ to QML was... laborious, to say the least. It was quite hard to find the right magic words to do seemingly simple things like getting a list of dropdown items over to QML. If you don't have to work with Qt containers most of the time, I figure you have good abstractions in place. (So you're not working directly with Qt after all?) I wanted to do that too, but my employer wasn't happy with me not using enough QStrings and QStringLists and what not.

> Even in video games, could you cite more than five big AAA game in the last decade that were not based on UDK, CryEngine and its variants, or Unity3D?

I don't play many games, and if AAA means "graphically impressive but possibly not a conceptual innovation", then my answer would be "no". I would be hard pressed to quote 5 AAA games at all. (I sometimes play FIFA on a friend's PS3 (yes it's dull), and here we have the first exception. Whatever)

However I happen to "know" that many Indie game developers prefer to control their own codebase, that they know in and out, and that they can cut and trim and slice and dice, to try out new ideas. (This includes more commonly known titles like Super Meat Boy, Braid, The Witness).

> keep reinventing game loops

Why should I not "reinvent" a game loop? It's a trivial thing to do. No big deal. I'd rather do it myself than starting with a big preconceived framework that starts with words like "Awake", "OnEnable", "OnLevelWasLoaded", "OnApplicationPause" (What's a level? Why would I have such a thing?).

> I feel like we're living in a parallel world.

I would like my applications to last much longer than 6 years. And I would really be surprised if there were not more problems. Regarding CMake, I wasted >20h in multiple attempts fighting an existing CMake build system including a tangled mess of CMake scripts. It's really hard to understand and maintain. The documentation is not good, it doesn't try to teach you the underlying conceptual models. I then decided to just put my build description in a python file and generate the build system myself. 3h until it first worked, very little maintenance afterwards. Plus, I now have the flexibility to easily add more facets as the system evolves, and to easily derive other useful dev tools from the python structures. (Small downside, would possibly have to write more build system generators if there were multiple supported platforms. But while CMake makes some of this a no-brainer, it's almost never just "now compile for this other platform", and other aspects to porting get relatively harder with CMake).
The expenses are high and the exceptional players start very young.

> There is no medical specialty dedicated to anyone who loses an infant or pregnancy

There is. They’re medical geneticists. They’ve got relatively large departments at NYU, Brigham and Women’s, and NYP-Cornell.

It’s not under-funded, it just usually goes under the radar as “genetics,” rather than a clinical specialty.
I did a project once where I needed to block RF interference from a battery-powered Raspberry Pi board. I thought back to physics classes and Faraday cages when we learned that no electric fields can come in or out, so I went and put the board into a metal box thinking it would completely block all RF. Boy was I wrong. The box was only enough to attenuate about -10 or -15dB of the WiFi signal! I figured the box had seams so it was behaving as a repeater from outside to inside. I wonder if a perfect seamless box would have done better.
Never mind that different OSs/fonts will represent the same thing in different ways.

That said, supposedly China could grow to the size it reached thanks to its writing system encoded meaning rather than sounds. Thus different communities with different languages could get one letter from the emperor and all understand it.
IIRC it was in the context of Kalanick/Levandowski quoting stuff and using these terms, so it's fair to present the jury with a "here's what they meant by it and what they were referencing".
> Once you've become a highly paid software engineer it's very human to try and justify your status by claiming that programming is exceptionally hard and therefore your status/salary is justified.

Salaries for the vast majority of occupations are driven by the supply and demand for employees - its a job market after all. Demand for programmers is increasing. Supply is increasing too, but is generally limited by, among other things, how technically "hard" the job is. "Deserve" isn't even part of the equation.
Because then we're back to square one: how do you store Unicode and Emojicode in the same text file? How do you know which bytes should be interpreted as Unicode and which as the other?
I agree. Massachusetts is maybe the only other state like that. I admittedly used an outlier example as it illustrates a trend, and I know so many scientists who dont realize 1) how hard it is these days to get tenure and 2) how much opportunity there is to do cool science outside of academia, so I use this example to show them that there are other options

For what it's worth, I know there are movements to attract more VC funding to places like Pittsburgh, NYC, San Diego, Texas, North Carolina etc. still early stages, but I think in 15 years things could be very different
It looks good to use them.

Shouldn't it be possible to use fontconfig to force emojis to render under whatever font you want? At least on Linux I think this should be possible.
Agreed. Tried pgAdmin 4, and it's not a happy user experience. Reverting back to pgAdmin 3 gives errors, depending on what you attempt to do. I have Navicat, and some features are good, yet some are frustrating. Postgres needs a "gold standard" ux tool. Maybe there is one, but I have not used it before.

A short time later after I found out about Johnny's work I tried to build my own as well and it was great indeed.

When doing research on how to build one, I was having issues with the methodology I was using ( a very naive one), so I actually emailed Johnny asking him for pointers and he actually responded!

His very short email just said (and I quote): "it's called a planar homography"

After digging a lot and tracking some research I found an explanation of the algorithm and things kinds just clicked. It was amazing.

So... if someone reads this and is figuring out how to do something similar, search for that :)

We've also been working on a similar tool (although does not output to YOLO format): https://www.labelbox.io/

We've open sourced the labeling interface for anyone to easily build and support labeling any data - as long as it can be loaded in a browser. Learn more here: https://github.com/Labelbox/Labelbox

About Labelbox:

Labelbox is a enterprise grade and cloud based tool to easily label data for machine learning. Labelbox streamlines data labeling workflow, from micro labeling projects for quick R&D to production grade projects requiring hundreds of collaborators. It is agnostic to data type and has open source labeling frontend with already built templates for image classification & segmentation and text classification. One can label any other kind of datasets by creating a custom labeling interface with javascript API (labeling-api.js). Additional feature includes exporting data in JSON/CSV with auto generated image masks, project & team management and labeling analytics.
Using nixpkgs, this isn't a problem because the source hashes will mismatch if somebody tries to spoof a username with a malicious repository. We should all be using Nix more often.

That's a fair criticism. I guess when you said you weren't impressed by medicine it seemed like you were leveling that comment at the entirety of our medical establishment instead of the fact that our resources in this specific branch of medicine are way out of line.

I think part of the problem is that there's likely a large amount of problems that lead to stillbirths and SIDS, so it's hard for researching to get funding to study a very general problem. Most the time they need to have a clear purpose and idea of what it is they are trying to figure out. And in the case of IVF/embryos there has been a much clearer path for them to take.

Not saying that's right, but it's often how it goes in science in general. If you're got something specific where a study will likely lead to meaningful and actionable results you're both more likely to get funded and more likely to have collaborators, etc.
Why would genetics have anything to do with it? If a baby is genetically abnormal, then it's not a surprise that they died (although still sad!). All the babies I mentioned were genetically normal. Their hearts just stopped. We've seen the geneticists; they cannot explain why any of our children died, because none of it was genetic (believe us.. carrier screening was on the top of all of our lists to make sure it wasn't something we're passing on).

Moreover, almost every study into the matter shows that the more pregnancy losses a couple has had, the less likely it is that any of them were due to aneuploidy, so again, genetics (while important for single miscarriages or stillbirchs) is an unlikely explanation for recurrent losses, unless a parent carries a balanced reciprocal or robertstonian translocation (which none of us do).

The MFMs that we have spoken with have all suggested various blood issues and some auto-immune issues which we are now being tested for. I don't see how geneticists (who are usually not doctors themselves) could possibly have the level of expertise to handle these cases.

But here is a thing -

Right now I am eating a dairy snack item that someone drove in a massive lorry across the Alps with, risking life and limb, climate changing the ozone hole in the process.

Theoretically this truck loaded with useful quantities of yoghurt laced with sugar could have been slowed down by ice, floods and immigrants on the road - anything could have happened.

You would think that it might be possible to buy a locally made dairy item. Cows used to be personally owned, as common as cars and really useful for pulling ploughs primarily. Then horses stepped up to the plough pulling and cows became relegated to dairy herds, no longer man's best 'prime mover' and not personally owned. There has been a lot of consolidation since, hence the food miles.

The dairy in town closed down a long time ago, the farmers now do other things with their fields and even the big dairy they built on a factory scale is closed as that was not competitive in the marketplace. The subsidies have gone and now the food miles are not really anything anyone cares about. However we do have massive lorries towing useful things like yoghurt and even water over the Alps.

I know that lorry drivers in Europe have some tachometer that does not lie. They therefore cannot rack up the overtime extensively. There is a limit to how many hours they can be physically at the wheel or else they would be breaking the law.

In dairy you do have weather related yield changes, so if it is really dry and the cows have nothing to eat then there is not the same supply as when everything is lush and green. There are also supply changes, demand can go silly at Christmas. I appreciate that in 1956 or whenever it was necessary to get 'farm hands' to pull their weight when nature demanded it but we have moved in to a sillier world and I bet those Maine drivers aren't doing local runs but taking product many miles across many 'Alps' in a supply chain that has over-evolved for yester-laws.

Not so ridiculous, really. A style guide isn't necessarily legally binding, and even clear evidence of legislative intent doesn't always get there if someone can argue the law that actually got written was ambiguous.

California's red-light infractions are a pretty common example of this. The vehicle code lays out what the infractions are, and the people who drafted it have said very clearly that they intended to have a "rolling turn" -- making a right turn at a red light without coming to a full stop first -- be a lesser infraction than running a red (driving straight through without stopping). But a number of cities in California have argued the language is ambiguous enough to let them ticket a rolling turn as running the red light, and that's exactly what they do (most likely because the fines and fees are far higher). It's also pretty well known that anyone who hires a lawyer to fight one of those will get the ticket dismissed, because the cities don't want it to ever be argued all the way out and potentially turn into a ruling against their interpretation.
