Maybe I'm a stupid person, or maybe it's just that I'm not a native English speaker or that I get bored of games super quick. Myst was one of the first games I ever bought (I mean... bought with my parents money :-) and played for maybe something like 10 to 15 hours? The only thing I remember about Myst is that I made absolutely no progress. Like none. I couldn't even get the premise. I was stuck at the very first stage of whatever puzzle the game had. I suppose I was something like 12 years old.

No we already have enough of those. But one could implement a way of annotating that some code/package (in ordinary programming language) implements a certain specification. This metadata should be searchable through the package manager.

> the worst case here is thinking that your data is being synced when it's not

Confused, what do you mean? To me thinking that my data isn't being synced when it really is sounds much worse...
The differece is that now it is explicitly illegal. I suspect after some grace period the most severe violations will start to get prosecuted and then I expect respectable companies to reconsider their tracking.

Gradual typing has a strong tendency to turn into never-typing because when you've got it running there is no real point to going back and adding types. Which divides people back into those who want dynamic typing and those who want static typing.
You missed the point of my comment and seem to be trying to pick an argument based on some preconceived notions. I made no claim as the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions. I merely pointed out that poor lifestyle choices are overwhelming our current healthcare financing system. This should be clear to anyone who as looked at the data. If the current trend continues there simply won't be enough money to pay for essential care any more regardless of who does the paying. Therefore, if we can't improve the lifestyle issues there will be serious consequences for the whole country including decreasing lifespans, reduced economic competitiveness, and even impacts to national security.
The user has the option to not get through the "pile of nonsense" and just close the website. The fact that the user does not should tell you something. Unless you think every website should force the user to go through a 15 minute webinar to help them specifically understand privacy policies before letting them browse the website?
I was a Soverin customer for a year but recently made the switch to Fastmail. I really wanted to like them, but sadly it seems like Soverin is content with their product being in a (barely) beta state. During the year that I used them, there were no improvements to spam filtering (which is abysmal), single sign on (nonexistent), reliability (poor, particularly for caldav) or filtering rules, to name just a few pain points. Their customer service was super responsive, but usually just to tell me that whatever I was asking about (flagging false positives, filtering mail based on an address pattern) wasn't supported.

Soverin, please look at what Fastmail is doing and try to get at least 80% as good. The world needs more fastmails.

I remember seeing a TV special on how they came up with the sound effects. One of them was created by something along the lines of rotating a vibrating wrench just inside a toilet bowl... and all the sound effects was stuff like that.
Could you elaborate on your view that Google Domains is the most professional company for this kind of issue?
> I don’t understand why the Chrome team is picking this hill to die on

Because they’re not “dying on a hill” at all, because nobody cares. Nobody outside Hacker News and Twitter infosec people only followed by other Twitter infosec people cares about this.

> I really expect this change to push a lot of people away from chrome

Care to bet on that? Because I would happily take the opposite side of that bet. I think the feature will stay and after a few months we will see absolutely no change in Chrome’s usage statistics.
So making a few hundred bucks per month with a product/project is not that difficult, but growing that or making it so the time you invested into it is not too high is difficult.

My personal experience, I built a newsletter to a small size (800), took about year to do this so I definitely didn't scale out very fast by any measure.

Either way I did reach a point where I was able to get a few hundred bucks per month in sponsorship. The time I put into it though didn't get the returns I needed to keep going at it so I've put it on hold and am not making any revenue now.

It's one of those challenges where I believe I need to put a lot more time & money into it, take a risk and see if I can grow that revenue to a few thousand per month so that my time has better return. At a few hundred bucks it's not a passive income generating project.

I thought this would be a good story to share because in thinking about what could make you a few hundred bucks, it would be good to define how you get there. Building a SAAS product takes a ton of time upfront, and a few hundred bucks per month won't be enough to justify that time... but of course it's proof of a business model that can get to the thousands per month, and maybe more!

>However, it seems like this is still not happening, and the convoluted nature of many HL7 standards is certainly not helping.

I actually think HL7 (as an organization) is beginning to get us to a point where it's not as convoluted.

>So I've come to think that it would actually be preferable to put most of the health data into PDF-like documents, and focus on optimizing the accessibility of the data through good full-text document search that can assemble an overview by showing document snippets (i.e., allowing to get a broad cross-document overview through document previews, rather than requiring opening each document individually).

I think that's what is intended with FHIR (fast healthcare interoperability resources)[0]:

>A domain resource is [a] resource that [...] has a human-readable XHTML representation of the content of the resource

IIRC all the other FHIR extend the DomainResource class. So you have the narrative and then the resources (supporting data) that makes up that narrative.

We get to get spied on by Google and Facebook instead. Now those companies are using the money they made by spying on us to get exclusive access to patient data so they can expand their monopolies to healthcare.

At least there's open source implementations of AMBE nowadays.
There are a few modules on PyPI (env, ezenv) that make the environment lookup portion more convenient/robust, by selecting a prefix for your application config. (Or write it yourself.) A prefix function that returns a mapping with the keys sliced and lowercased, works like this:

>>> env.prefix('XDG_')
{'config_dirs': '…', 'current_desktop': '…',
'session_type': 'x11', 'vtnr': '7', …}
You are certain? Or, are you suspicious? Those are pretty different statements. And it seems you lack evidence to back either one.
Batteries included, except when it's not :)

Cross platform Python is tough, especially when you use dynamically linked C libs on a platform that can change versions without warning.

The music and the sound in Myst and Riven were both outstanding - absolute classics of the genre, and even more amazing given that they were an amateur effort by one of the creators, and not the work of a full-time composer or game sound designer.

There was one location in Riven where I spent about fifteen minutes listening to a short-ish music loop over and over and watching a simple atmospheric location animation, because both were just so perfect.
That's very cool. I love that a game inspired someone to problem solve on that sort of level.

That's what I feel Myst brought that has been so rarely replicated.
It's kinda crazy that you have to become a domain registrar to circumvent problems like these in the future....
The problems with the CCD (having so many different ways to represent the same thing, having a different flavor for each system) are unfortunately passed down to new iterations of healthcare standards. New standards (like FHIR) are designed to fix problems with older standards, but then when it comes to implementation they are built to be backward compatible with the older standards, and so inherit some of the same problems (in this case, the ambiguity of representation).

I'm sorry you had bad professors, but this has absolutely not been my experience and I don't think yours--if it ever happened outside of a conservative talking point--is very typical. I also have no idea where you're taking a gen-ed class that costs $100,000-$1,000,000 or takes 25.% of your life. A typical course is 15 weeks @ <3 hrs/week, which is not even 1/100th of a percent of a typical lifespan, and you maybe take 3-6 gen-ed classes at most universities.

As for efficiency....I'll admit that part of the rationale behind these requirements is the idea that everyone should be exposed to a wide range of ideas. However, I think it's not totally bonkers pedagogically either. A random collection of 18 year olds won't have much expertise--and even less in common. Literature (and, to some extent, history) gives everyone a "data set" to work from, and it's one where there are lots of possible interpretations. No one is going to have a hot take on the contents in Bio/Chem/Math/Physics 101 or 102; that stuff has been settled for decades.
Dask might be lightweight internally but resorting to it just to solve a simple task that requires concurrency is not "simple".

Streamz looks nice! However:

"Streamz relies on the Tornado framework for concurrency. This allows us to handle many concurrent operations cheaply and consistently within a SINGLE THREAD."

Apparently you can set it up to use Dask to escape the single threads but that is kind of a global config. With Pypeline you can mix and match between using Processes, Threads, and asyncio.Tasks where it makes sense, resource management per stage is simple and explicit. If you have some understanding of the multiprocessing, threading and asyncio modules, Pypeline will save you tons of time.

Still, will keep an eye on Streamz, its a very nice work, lots of features, it should get more visibility.
Some ideas:

1. There may be a history of chargebacks on voicemail transcription services and/or some subset or superset thereof.

2. Your pricing may constitute a risk in terms of business viability. $5 seems awfully cheap to me, even if it’s automated.

3. Your pricing may constitute a risk based on your price point for this space as being attractive to pathological customers.

These are just ideas. I have no idea what factors they use. That said, I feel confident that a real flag was raised, so the question is whether that flag is legitimate in your context or not.

Anecdotally, pretty much every developer I've talked to about GDPR says in one way or another, their company has some sort of GDPR violation.

It's pretty much the same story every time, there was a big scramble to fix any clear violations, but because GDPR was a bit vague, there are a lot of gray area violations that are still being cleaned up.
It's interesting to me how the midwest is portrayed in media. I was born and raised in Indiana, outside a small town that's actually famous for a few things, we even had a New York Times article about us. The way the midwest is portrayed in media is interesting to me. It's often shown as a place where weird stuff happens all the time. Sometimes it's depicted as an idyllic small town, more recently it's been the trappings of small towns. In my experience, it's really not all that it's cracked up to be. Yes we have strange things and strange people, but doesn't everywhere? We have odd traditions, but so do a lot of places. There are interesting mixes of cultures, but they're basically all European(excluding the major cities). It's just weird to me when people romanticize the Midwest, there's nothing special about it. Come visit if you want, I've been told we're the most polite!
I don't blame them for this. They want to get out of OpenGL because how much of a maintenance nightmare it has become due to non technical concerns. To ship top end OpenGL (and DirectX) drivers these days, it's more or less required that you write tons of code that recognizes the application that's calling your driver and fixes bugs in their code. Nvidia starting doing this, and now all end users see is that programs work on Nvidia and not AMD (or Apple as they write their own drivers), and blame everyone other than Nvidia. The switch to these new Mantle derived APIs is as much if not more about resetting those expectations of responsibilities than the technical benefits that these APIs provide (which AZDO 80/20 ruled most of the way to anyway).

Supporting a MoltenGL as a first class item defeats the whole purpose of moving away from OpenGL to begin with from their perspective. OpenCL never got the critical mass in their eyes, and someone else is already taking on MoltenVK.

It's not because they wanted to give rural votes more weight.

The Republican Party ran a massive, coordinated operation to take over state legislatures, who control the redistricting process, to ensure GOP dominance in the House.

In 2012, more votes total were cast for Democrats, but the Republicans retained 33-seat majority. The state laws ignoring climate change in favor of fossil fuel business is just a side-benefit.

Certainly for the OpenPGP applet, require touch to sign/auth/enc was introduced with the Yubikey 4. For U2F touch is always required and you do get an option on the NEO to require touch for Yubico challenge/response. Not sure about the PIV or TOTP applets.
"Radioactive" is the wrong word, as there's no nuclear decay involved. The concern was X-rays. A CRT looks a lot like an X-ray tube, where you accelerate electrons through 10^4 volts and smash them into a metal target, producing photons with 10^4 eV energy. These X-ray photons penetrate the body and cause tissue damage over time.

I think it has psychological significance.

It's one thing to have an object that violates expectations by taking action that an outwardly similar object does not. It's a surprise move that turns the tables on the person interacting with the object. (You could almost view it as a threat or a power dynamic thing.)

Having those actions be as intelligent as possible raises this surprise to another level. If I fiddled with it for 5 minutes and it put it back in 30 seconds, I'd feel even more like I just got owned by the object.
Seeing as they're shutting down Astro, it doesn't make much sense to be advertising their now-discontinued product that you can't use.
Xilinx recently created (then revoked) an open-source tool called "RapidWright" that might give you an idea -- it was basically a big Java API for manipulating and controlling Xilinx DCPs/bitstreams, allowing for some interesting tools. They plan on re-releasing it[1], but you can still see the docs here:

http://www.rapidwright.io

The most interesting part are the tutorials, where they automatically e.g. insert ChipScope ILAs into existing, routed designs, which can only be done with some knowledge over the routed/placed results. (The automated UltraScale+ SLR-crossing example is probably more _interesting_ from a technical POV, but admittedly the ChipScope example was something I wanted recently!) Granted, that's not exposing the level of detail you'll need to write a full place-and-router or anything, but post-route/route-assistance based tooling seems like an interesting possibility.

Honestly, though, I'll take absolutely none of that if an open source tool means you can just fix some of the bugs in the damn things.

[1] I assume they revoked it in the first place due to some outbreak of batshit insanity in a legal department somewhere -- presumably some of the source code should not have been released, or someone's mind changed, or something.
HL7 FHIR makes implementation slightly easier, but it doesn't do anything to solve the data modeling and coding problem. There are multiple ways to represent the same patient chart entries in FHIR just as with HL7 CDA R2. Take a look at the C-CDA on FHIR implementation guide.

http://www.hl7.org/fhir/us/ccda/

Healthcare data is fundamentally complex. It is impossible to come up with a single canonical way of representing everything we might want to record about a patient. The standards reflect that essential complexity.
But someone should have been reviewing the current state for cracks and weak links.
Not that I want to advocate for Google, but I imagine you could create a Firefox extension that works something like that into Firefox's sync mechanism. It sounds like they're scanning a cookie and then using that to change some other aspect of the browser; unless they've also added some stuff that only Chrome could recognise and work with.

Now I've done making an excuse for it, I think it's a shame that Microsoft fucked up so bad with IE that both Edge and Safari face an uphill struggle. They're both pretty decent browsers that are kind to your battery and aren't bloated with features you're unlikely to ever use.

The extension support is fairly poor for both but at the same time, that's not exactly a bad thing. You browse the web with them and that's more or less it.

I'm sure we would all sleep much better at night assuming that's the case, but I'm not sure there's much basis to it besides wishful thinking.

The fact that some people actually opt for chemical castration because they cannot control their urges leads me to believe that it's fairly deeply psychologically ingrained, and I'm not sure why a compulsion to do something somehow negates any other feeling a person might have.

And this isn't a defense of pedophiles (which were not what I was envisioning when I mentioned abusers in my original comment), but it is an attempt at better understanding them. I think that's the best path for everyone involved, as if we understand them, perhaps we can stop them, and help them (preferably prior to any bad behavior), and then everyone is better off. Simply rationalizing that pedophiles do horrible things therefore they are horrible and evil people is a cop-out and will likely never actually fix the problem, as we've seen. I think that results in more victims and more people in prison. If we can prevent the crimes and help the people that would commit them be productive members of society that don't hurt anyone (preferably before they've hurt anyone), should we not do so? Are we not all better off with that outcome?
