Right, I was only talking about insurance administrative costs.
What’s Changed Since My First Column for Scientific American
I was only talking about insurance administrative costs. Well aware of how easily the label "non-profit" can be played with. In particular the case of UPMC somewhat holding the city hostage to keep their status.
I see no benefit of running grep locally in any case unless maybe local grep is aliased in a complex way to colorize and decorate the outputs in some other way.

Either way this is not a great example as you should just login and run it on the remote machine as running through pipe causes the connection to be established every time unless you keep a persistent connection open behind which is explained in the MultiPlex section which is very handy when you need to run many commands over ssh in cases of like taking backups from that machine.
That's what I understood as well.

What I was, however, trying to figure out is how they think the rates of the marketplace will influence the traffic on the (mostly) separate store.

After all, Epic could have had 88/12 rates for the store, but kept their 70/30 split for their Marketplace.

Living in Astoria, NY and this happened a mile away from me.

At first my TV blips, my spotify shuts down and outside you could see this very bright turquoise light all over the place. It was bright like it was a daytime just in the green blue color. At first I thought it must had been some fireworks nearby, New Year is coming, right? But there was no fireworks noise, no party noise, nothing, just this bright green lit city. I open the window and some lady in the building across me does the same and shouts 'wtf is that?!'.

I realize this was not a party and my brain starts spinning..

1. EMP attack, since the TV got affected
2. Asteroid or comet entering the atmosphere and messing up the magnetosphere
3. Strong solar outburst, causing some local aurora

I recently watched Robert Schoch's interview where he discussed huge solar outbursts at the end of last ice age and how the sightings of resulting auroras might have made it into ancient cultures.

[https://youtu.be/Vka2ZgzZTvo roughly at 21:00]

In the end I rushed to the rooftop, scared as f, and noticed this was just a transformer on fire at nearby power plant. Took a video, waited it out and went back.

P.S: I don't have any experience in SaaS startups. This is my first one. Feel free to critique.
The article says 35kW motor, not 35kWh battery.
Actually a bit of a myth (I'm Dutch). It's more a case of targeting different markets with different price and quality ratios. E.g. Germans love to complain about Dutch water bombs but buy them by the kilo anyway because the stuff is cheap. They don't realize the more expensive varieties also available to them come from the same country. You don't have to buy the cheap ones but they do; it's their poor tastes that are driving the demand for this.

Likewise, Italy imports a lot of tomatoes (more than they export according to this: https://www.freshplaza.com/article/2158667/italian-table-tom...). Most of those come from the Netherlands. Italians are of course famously picky when it comes to their food. Yet they seem to buy Dutch produce.
I've recently completed my PhD in the automated design/generation of constrained ship hull form geometry. This is a method that originated in the 90s for generating the basic geometry of a ship from "scratch" - well actually from lists of "form parameters" which are really constraints. The method uses nonlinear programming to solve for B-splines (other representations could be used) which minimize some functional and satisfy constraints.

Ship hull shapes can get pretty complicated. Now the trick is to specify, ahead of time, constraints which are consistent with each other, so that, in the first place, the nonlinear solvers don't waste time on bad designs, and really, we'd like to be able to search the design space without such waste.

The way I found to address this issue was to view the design space as interval valued. (By the way the design space is usually viewed as the space of all possible combinations of real valued constraints). With intervals we could reason about the design space using our constraints, but we need some kind of solver to narrow down the answers. There is an enormous amount of interval and constraint solving literature here, of course.

First, being from a numerics background, I tried working only with the intervals themselves. Nonlinear interval solvers for constraint systems. Long story short, the global methods need local help to make progress when the domain contains singular points and other places where the numerics are not so nice, in real or floating point. Local methods are really simple - just invert a single constraint at a time, in the simplest case. The issue here is that you need to solve for each constraint variable in terms of all the others. This is relational constraint programming and is something that Will Byrd has stated that miniKanren is good for. (Will is co-author of miniKanren, and a really nice guy)

Now, the second trick is that we want to compose with any random constraint that the ship designer dreams up (within reason, and my personal time constraints ;). So I hacked out an interval valued version of "miniKanren" which lived within Python. (think reverse mode automatic differentiation facilitated by operator overloading to embed the math operations directly into numpy. Take that programming idea, and change it to compose a computational graph of constraints, instead of differentiation.)

In short, it worked as well as I'd hoped. The relational logic front end can "quickly enough" narrow the design space as new rules come in, and then even a random number generator can select feasible designs. (Hint hint, time to add more efficient design space learners.)

It's a long story, shortly told, but I'd claim there are applications in the engineering space.

The New Mob Is on the Internet
Though I'm relatively new to it, for me the first things that went into my notebook were an index of indices (to allow grouping of common content), a general index for everything else, a page for each month of the year as a simple calendar, then two pages allocated to the current week. New pages are simply allocated as needed, which minimizes wasted pages but increases fragmentation.

I've actually found it quite interesting to think about it all in very software-engineery ways. Indices contain pointers to linked lists of pages, pages are allocated and never freed, and the linked lists are append only. Thinking about it this way makes certain issues obvious. For example, it is a pain for me to keep looking up common items in the index, so I have a small 'floating index' on an index card that lives with my current week's calendar/action items to save time on common lookups (sort of a cache). Similarly, lists that are appended to less frequently than others become highly fragmented, and it can be slow to search for things in those lists, so there is some kind of limit/balance in there regarding the usefulness of these structures depending on the rate that lists are appended to.
Entity Framework Core: String Filter Tips
We've used Clojure in production for years.

1. "Has clojure.spec worked out in terms finding bugs during refactoring/maintenance and general QA?" - Spec worked out as a much more useful library than we expected. You could describe any data structures with it, then validate, generate, regenerate it. I think spec is a must have for any Clojure programmer from 2018.

2. "Do you make use of the Lispy-ness"
Macros are super useful sometimes, but in general we try to avoid them, because we prefer to solve everything with just pure functions.
Homoiconicity and the "code is data" aspect are must haves in any programming language after you realised their power.

3. "is it generally an anti-pattern to use these language features in daily development?" macros are feel like cheating sometimes, and we fear the consequences, but homiconicity is useful for us on a daily basis.

4. "Do you wish you had static types?" We prefer to create our own "types" up to complex data structures. A built-in type system seems like a downgrade from here.

5. "I often have the feeling that I'm not smart enough to use Lisp." I think you are just scared from the unknown, Clojure is an alien technology compared to most of the currently popular languages.

Any kids could learn programming in Clojure due to its simplicity and the REPL driven workflow. Its an interactive experience and very likeable.

Exactly this... to your first point, second tier cities in terms of software development jobs (Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta, etc) have a lot to offer. There's enough contract work that you can always find something within a couple weeks, and pay is generally competitive to salaried positions. There's also quite a bit of FT work, but more of that will be with more stable tech.

YMMV, but the quality of life, at least for me in Phoenix feels significantly better. I may not be making a quarter million or more a year as I might in SV, but I also don't have nearly the level of stress in my life.
I would not be surprised that they were measuring the range on a perfectly flat road in vacuum.

Ask HN: Tool for self-hosting your own Facebook profile after downloading it?
I was playing with the idea of a Facebook profile cemetery. It would be a tool to structure your profile data after you download it from Facebook, in order to self-host it on a space you own. The idea would be to keep alive your profile history, but on your own website, for friends and family to still browse it, or just as a way to claim and still show data that's fundamentally yours to show around.

Before I try to figure out a way to do that and start building something, do you know any tool useful for this purpose?
Can I ask an embarassing question to verify I'm not misunderstanding that page? Does this mean that floats are less precise the larger they are? You have as many bits to describe the "position of the number" between 0-1 as you do between 2048-4096
You specifically stated base model price in your post. Why are you arguing?
Identifiers are named identifiers to be identifiable. Unicode spoofs are not identifiable anymore. It's not rockets science.

Every name needs to be identifiable. Simply enabling XID_Start + XID_Continue for unicode violates all unicode security recommendations. See the recommended Unicode Security Profiles 1-5,
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr39/#General_Security_Profil...

ruby violates all of them.
so do many other languages.

BTW identifiers are not just url's, mail addresses or variable names, but also usernames and paths (filenames, directory names). eg with RTL spoofing you can hide ../

nobody cares so far, esp. not Linux filesystems. Garbage in garbage out is a security risk. The old Apple HPFS at least normalized unicode, the new one is again insecure.
Given that for quite a big chunk of today's workforce those four years coincided with a recession and resulting spike in unemployment, a gap is probably not all that unusual and could easily be explained away.
I find the small cherry tomatoes (the "snoepgroente" ones) to be delicious, in the right season (of course quality varies throughout the year). With some buffalo mozzarella from Italy they make an excellent meal.
I would make no claims to being an exceptional programmer, but fwiw I don't like nested functions - it always takes me a lot longer to reason about what a function is doing, when it has functions defined inside it.
If its so simple, explain the use case in this situation.
> that's the downside of javascript being the only game in town.

Why? I don't see the correlation between the technology and the rampant immaturity or unrealistic expectations of people developing in it. I have also experienced this immature temperance from people with a long history of developing in other languages coming into JavaScript and deliberately sacrificing common sense for insecurity resolution, which suggests the immaturity isn't simply due to a low barrier of entry.
There is also the risk that all is a trap and you incriminate yourself, even if you try to be anonymous there is a risk to make a mistake and leave a trace.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and side with the astronauts.

However:

> After they returned, NASA became vindictive, and ensured that none of the crew flew again.

That's not really vindictive. Mutiny is an extreme measure with normally severe consequences (and I'm sure that the astronauts took this into consideration before acting), and it's not like there was an astronaut shortage at the time.
For a whole codebase like this check out SQLite. The best one in the world.
Another possible moral is don't be a freelance security researcher as a hobby. You should at least get paid for it and get some organisational cover - not only are you potentially at risk of crossing organised crime, but you can very easily be framed and end up raided by the police.

Geez, talk about buzzwords. This thing reads like API documentation.
Sometimes I think this stuff gets way, way, way overblown. Maybe not in the case in the article but let me give you something that happened this week to me.

We've had food trucks out to my office for 3 years and change now. Wednesday it was communicated to us from corporate that we've been supporting something in direct violation of 'company solicitation policies'. That's right, by inviting a food truck out every few weeks, using our own money, on our own time, to buy food to eat on our lunch breaks we are supporting solicitation... facepalm

We get 30 minutes for lunch, we have 2 freezers and 3 microwaves for 100-something people. The closest fast food place is 7 minutes or so away depending on traffic, just walking to your car after clocking out eats up a minute plus. We aren't allowed to eat at our desks.

Are you fucking kidding me? Calm down, we aren't be coerced or bribed by someone selling us overpriced food.
I’ll agree with short. Kicking off the fifth extinction isn’t exactly insignificant; more philosophically, I would suggest that significance of an era can only be appreciated by beings with a sense of the past that reaches past their own birth, so perhaps this is the only significant era.
They are less precise in the absolute sense (the absolute error is larger) but equally so in the relative sense (the relative error is the same).

Well, essentially, of course.

Mrdns – my mind ( w2s diss track)
The wikipedia article has a slightly different perspective:

in the years following the mission the mistakes and disagreements received added scrutiny. Several writers embellished the more dramatic aspects that led to the radio conference, introducing both “strike” and “mutiny” to the interpretation of events. These and other controversial terms continue to be used, even if inaccurately, to describe the hours leading up to the conference between astronauts and mission control.

At least the systems to notify of the outage sure worked well, at least for me.

Got an EAS alert while watching TV and two emergency alerts on my cell phone (one generic telling me to call local police or fire, and one telling me a specific number to call for my county).

Furthermore, I now think that a call that came in on my landline at 10:42 PM was probably also a notification. The caller ID just said "wireless caller" and I didn't recognize the number so I ignored it, but now Googling that number turns it up as a cell contact number for my county's Department of Emergency Management.
I vehemently disagree.

Code without specification is a maintenance nightmare, a pure liability, a ticking time bomb.

And sure, unless you're creating the control system of a nuclear reactor/warhead you don't have to go full Coq and CMMI5 and "high assurance" and whatnot, but spilling a few sentences as a minimal kind of pseudocode before writing what you want (a function, a class, a method, change the build system, refactor a big ball of if-s) is almost ideal. It helps you double check yourself, and it helps reviewers too. (Throwing there links to some issue tracker is also nice, but just the links are not very helpful.)

If you have to write docs later, it's hacking (reverse engineering), not engineering.
This is a pet subject of mine since as an FPGA developer a huge amount of my time is spent focusing on bit-precision and Fixed-Point and reduced precision floating point implementations of algorithms. In fact one of the interview questions I ask focuses on how to do different mathematical operations in floating point using only logical/integer operations.

On the one hand I find the results unsurprising - even people I know to have worked a lot on numerics often have only a rudimental understanding of the intricacies of corner case behaviour for floating point, and yes that absolutely manifests in hitting a wall when something curious goes wrong. Mostly this results in head banging until you find the piece of code going wrong is the numerical piece and then very quickly you start looking at possible floating point gremlins.

Having said that though this paper seems to have a very academic view of what HPC is. Even for people designing HPC systems numerical optimizations are rarely a huge chunk of their job so it's probably not actually that important - I think the fact few people have a good understanding is a reflection of the fact it's not often necessary.

Finally while we're on the topic: Does anyone know a good tool that can allow me to write an equation, specific the precision of inputs/outputs and get the required precision of all the operators? I know Matlab have the DSP toolbox but it has some serious limitations, I'm still in search of something fantastic.

In my experience it's often (but definitely not always) the case that for new post-grad students the idea or general research direction often comes from the professor (especially if the research is funded by a grant proposal). Most of the heavy lifting is then done by the grad student with guidance and feedback from the professor. As the student matures they start to operate more independently.
