Ultimately this is a fatal flaw in the peer review system in the way most scientific publications do it.

The review should happen independent of the result and ideally the publication decision should happen before the research is performed. (There are some publications that do something alike - it's called "Registered Reports" - but it's still a small minority.)
This isn't going to be general physicians doing to the prescribing. It's going to be oncologists, who are generally up to date on the latest developments in oncological drugs.

The idea that enough good data wouldn't be generated from laxening rules, to make it a net benefit for progress on developing/discovering effective new cancer drugs, seems farfetched to me. It requires completely discounting the unpredictability of drug discovery, and the role luck plays in it.
Titanfall 2 has one of the best single-player campaign in recent shooters. You are highly mobile and it's possible (and expected) to parkour your way across multiplayer maps.

Warframe is different, it's focused on PvE (although there's a PvP mode if that's your thing). The premise is simple, you are a space ninja with supernatural abilities and you kill hundreds on enemies on each mission. The game is complex and you'll need to read the community wiki to understand some things, but the experience can be very rewarding.

I think that the current iteration of EF is still a great fit for small to medium sized projects. Besides offering strongly typed queries (LINQ) and updates, it also provides some additional functionalities such as migrations that such projects really can benefit from.

> Two or three lines gives you about 80% of the value in any ORM and avoids the -20% value found in the other 100k LOC.

I have a hard time believing this when the two lines above are obviously wrong. You can't use :column to escape the name of a column in SQL. So your code has to protect it, which is not easy if you wan't to be portable. MySQL will generally use `column` but may be configured to use the standard "column".

Anyway, selectAllBy() and selectOneBy() are not enough to be confortable. I appreciate the static completion in Something.find({id: 1}).complete, the relative queries like Post.find({id: 1}).author, and many other things that help against typos, help code faster and make the code more readable.

I agree with the OP that fallthroughs are much needed, because writing custom SQL is sometimes simpler, and sometimes much more performant. Usually, its mostly about writing SomeModel.findAllBySql() which most ActiveRecord implementations provide.

Erik may know SQL but there’s an entire generation of developers who don’t.

These developers find it easier to dip into shallow DSLs instead of learning the depths of SQL.
> Lots of people claim to see a significant difference, usually positive, in energy, strength, mood, sleep, etc.

I'm very skeptical of people's dieting claims in general.

First, lots of people, more or less unconsciously, omit their previous condition/background.

A typical example of this (that tragically gets always attention on HN) is an obese person making a post about how they made change X and lost Y kgs. When you're obese because of bad habits, any minimal healthy change will lead to weight loss.

Second, every [not seriously into sports] person I ever spoke to who applied a change in his/her nutrition, reported the same symptoms (more energy, better sleep, etc.etc.), independently of how absurd the change was.

Considering also how extremely variable between samples (=people) lifestyle is, the only reasonable way I accept is just to set emphasis on personal metrics and disregard other people's experience (I actually assume the vast majority of them to be inaccurate to the point of being false, for the above reasons).

If the money is there to waste, you have some evidence that no one has a better idea about how to deploy the resources.

There's the problem of what "better" should mean, but private investors aren't going to fund government for fun (or similar), so many of the alternative meanings of better can't really be expected to inform a discussion about private investment. Like maybe stupid VC spending is evidence that tech companies aren't getting taxed enough, but that is solved by raising taxes, not by hand-wringing over questionable products.

SQL is syntactic sugar for first order logic. It is much easier to query relational database with SQL than abstracting relations with ORM.

I really think I do. The traffic noise in cities makes conversation impossible almost everywhere outside (I'm hard of hearing); meanwhile public places inside that would otherwise be quiet enough get filled with music. Yes, making quiet cars safe is a challenge, but why not try solving it before assuming a bug is a feature?
It is really no difference between setting up Wireguard on a local network or via Internet as long as one of the hosts can listen to a public UDP port. If one of your clients are behind a NAT you may need to enable the keep alive option in the client's config
It's not just Ubuntu, and it's not just open source. I've adopted a policy of filing no more bug reports on anything, free or commercial. All it's ever resulted in is arguments from developers about why they're not going to fix the bug. It's a waste of everyone's time. (Of course I think it would be a good use of time to fix the bug – but if you're not going to do that, then arguing about it is a useless distraction; everyone would be better off if I didn't file the report in the first place.)

The custom query language I find most annoying (possibly just because it's the one I deal with the most), is JPQL, the query language of the Java Persistence Architecture. JPA explicitly targets relational databases, so there's no obvious reason why you couldn't just use SQL. You might think the advantage of a custom query language would be that it could abstract over differences between SQL implementations, but JPQL is underspecified and just gives you the underlying database behaviour in many cases. I spent a day trying to figure out why my tests passed but the staging environment was claiming that 0 was greater than 0; turns out there was a difference in rounding behaviour between the in-memory database used for tests, and the real database, which JPA was cheerfully glossing over.

The theory of the starfish population growth is that increased nutrients in the sea from increased land run off is the cause, since it allows more of the baby starfish to survive. So agriculture is probably to blame this time rather than global warming, but the sentiment is the same. Fix the symptoms as it's easier than tackling the cause.

OK, sure. But then, it's been minutes away from Midnight on the Doomsday Clock since the late 40s, no? I do remember being in Moscow, when Reagan's joke about bombing the Soviet Union went public. Everyone pretty much knew it was a joke, given what a funny guy he was, but still it was freaky. And I was in Helsinki during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it's not that far from Leningrad (as we knew it then). So now? The fear has worn off, pretty much, and the chances are good that I'll die of something far more mundane. But one never knows. And WTF, seeing a fireball up close and personal would be cool.
Blackguards 2 MacOS X Cracked Game Free Download – Crack4Mac
The question is if technical interviews of the white-board variety usually have any value at all in determining someone's technical prowess or if they're generally just a huge waste of resources.

Quite likely, there's no one-size-fits-all solution for assessing candidates.

The way I approach this is by looking at the candidate's background and trying to make connections to the product the company or team is working on.

Then I have an open conversation with the candidate about these connecting points and possibly related subjects. It usually becomes obvious quite quickly if the candidate knows what he or she is talking about. It also gives you an idea about how the candidate communicates, which often is more important than technical skill.

Technically, that's still a technical interview but it's much more free-form than the rigid white-board interview format. It's more of a conversation between equals rather than a test setting, where one side is being questioned.

The scroll wheel. Every other player was a 'techie' device back then. I had a couple other MP3 players at the time; the entire experience from loading songs onto it to navigating around the UI with awkward buttons was annoying at best.

The iPod's simple UI, coupled with easy iTunes integration, made it head and shoulders above the rest... though the first few iterations were quite expensive compared to the competition.
I feel that PG needs to make a concerted effort to use "uhm" less. It negatively affects his ability to eloquently communicate an idea.
And I’m assuming your toolbox just contains a hammer? Granted, there’s a lot of duplication of effort around, but in many of the examples you cite they are trying to solve different problems.
That's a pipe dream. There are a handful of successful abstractions, like streams or associative containers, or strings for that matter. Even those quickly get too abstract for serious use, and you need to actually expose what's really happening to make sensible choices, because there are vastly different kinds of streams or containers (or even strings), because, well, those are abstractions.

Other more far reaching design choices could be: when and how much precomputation is done, data loading strategies, data-flow oriented vs control flow oriented, threading strategies, etc. You can't hide these choices behind a name. They deeply affect the structure of the program.

I have been asked to write the "skeleton" of the new version of a large software with angular. I don't like web development.

I have started reading the angular tutorial, and you're right that it's emotionally very disturbing. There are many files, some sophisticated design pattern I have no understanding of their existence and utility.

On top of that I don't really understand the mission I have been given.

So I'm doing vague work, with a technology which I don't like and don't really understand the philosophy.

Suffice it to say that I have all the good circumstances to procrastinate. Most troubling thing for me is that I have been in this situation for about 2 months now, I have quickly talked about procrastinating to HR some time ago, and yet nobody is really bugging me. I guess I should try to tell my superior to give me a more concrete work to do, or at least give me precise constraints.

What's even weirder is that I feel bad for being in this position, somehow it makes me vulnerable and sensitive, like I could be judged for slacking, but on the other hand, I'm not being reprimanded or told about it.
I guess I haven't used Ino in about 2 years as well and didn't realize that it fell into an unmaintained state!

At a time when people were still wearing watches, you could have an alternative time standard, on your wrist, in actual hardware.

Why Facebook Is Cracking Down on Myanmar Military Accounts
What do commuters do now while using mass transportation? Read the news, read ads or social media, talk, work. You could say that Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Apple, and Samsung are already big in the “autonomous” section, in that they already provide the information, entertainment and work environment for commuters who do not drive to work.

I think it’s only natural that those companies want to get in on the autonomous car industry, at least for the software side. I’m thinking that it might be more likely that companies who do hardware have a greater interest in it, but so far, from the 3 companies with a hardware side; Samsung mainly, but also Apple and Microsoft, only Apple seems to be putting research into autonomous cars. (I have too little knowledge about Huawei and other Chinese companies to know if they have the same possible reasons or approach)

Perhaps driving to work is mostly an American thing and Samsung and Microsoft see the world going more towards increasing remote work, increasing mass transportation.

It’ll be interesting to see the development. Maybe I will still be alive in 30 years to look back on this comment and see what happened.

I think the big "guys" sees it as the next possible thing. I mean quantum computers might be a reality but you can't currently bet on that happening in the next 5 years. Self-driving cars are currently not there yet. However, it seems that it could work given enough research and development.

Self-driving cars is a huge business. You could disrupt Uber, Taxis, Trucking and Public transportation in most of the developed world by a single solution. That's a trillion dollar business.
Friction and noise aside, it's better to have the suspension built into the frame rather than the wheels. Added weight in the wheels adds to rotational inertia, which is harder to overcome than linear inertia. A rough rule of thumb is one kilogram in the wheels is worth two in the frame for a car in terms of acceleration.
I would imagine weight - especially for road bike tyres.

For comparison, a lightweight Zipp wheelset comes in a just over 1Kg. A mid range lightweight set will be in the 1.4Kg range.

There are other ways to make a road bike handle bumps and road buzz, e.g. specifically constructed carbon seat post, or flexible seat stays.

A good race to watch for these kind of things is the Paris Roubaix, some of the bikes had rubber inserts to the seat stays a few years ago, but now have enough damping just from carbon layup of that section.

So how much can we improve? Well apparently a LOT.

So the root problem was jobs that didn't pay well, but the solution was student debt forgiveness? That is, find a problem, solve a symptom, the problem remains, and the symptom becomes a bigger and more expensive problem. But the politicians got more votes, and the taxpayers stuck with the bill.

YouTube copyright enforcement is bizarre. Claims against you seem unfounded if your playing classical works and if anyone could claim copyright of your performance is you, as it's a new performance and arrangement makes that your copyright.

I know they don't check copyright much, as I once got locked out of an old YouTube account I had, forgot the password and didn't have access to the email I signed up with. But I wanted the only video on the channel taken down, so I did a copyright complaint against myself, YouTube accepted it!
