Are you familiar with the free market medical movement? It's definitely not a fix for the entire US healthcare system, but I think it has the potential to create some major positive improvement in outpatient care for people who don't live hours away from the nearest cashpay specialist and can afford to pay for small things out of pocket.

I work in inpatient now, but I previously worked for a radiology group that was cashpay focused. The total cost for a brain MRI at most locations was over 10x less than the technical component alone for the hospital I'm currently working for.
.. and here, another reason to distrust the Lords of Pharmaceuticals: the cloaking of danger by way of re-branding. Why, exactly, is this necessary again?
Thank you! The new auto reloader is better by quite a bit. Many people have talked about doing this over the years, but nobody's been willing to do the grunt work and figure out all the corner cases, until you. Nice job!
Really? I found it pretty straightforward, personally. It helped that you'd be able to retake the interview if you failed, which isn't usually true for phone screens. It also helped that it was a large sample of questions about how a computer worked, as opposed to most phone screens which are a single tech question that you can get lucky or unlucky on.

(I tried Triplebyte's process this job hunt but ended up getting my current job through a personal connection instead)
Life long resident and native born San Diegan here. This is not meant to be sarcastic or dismissive but this is the City of San Diego we're talking about. City of San Diego has a pretty good history of being completely incompetent. No matter what nefarious intent that you might think the City has, they are way to incompetent to do any of it. This type of system is only useful to non-idiots.

If governments / law makers cared, they would react.

I remember when the French government learnt that all the top officials of the country where tapped by the NSA, including the President (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionnage_de_l%27%C3%89lys%C3...).

France did absolutely nothing.

Based on when and where AMD's money came from (sales of the Zen CPU), it is unlikely that Navi got the infusion of money needed before its design was complete. AMD was still losing lots of money back in 2016 when Navi's design would have been largely completed.

AMD began to make money in 2017 and 2018, but an infusion of cash that late in the game won't have major effects on the GPU's architecture. Navi engineering-samples would have had to have first taped out in 2018.

The next GPU in 2020 will be the first one made where the design started with AMD's renewed R&D effort (funded by the success of its Zen CPU).

My overall expectations of Navi would be that its a slightly improved Radeon VII architecturally (a few new assembly instructions here and there... but nothing majorly different). It would still be a GCN architecture. EDIT: And Navi is expected to be far smaller (and therefore slower) than the Radeon VII.

---------

Of course, AMD may surprise me. But that's what I expect purely based on the financials of the company.
Doing this now. I’ve ordered a ThinkPad P1 after a ridiculous amount of research and I plan to install Deepin and see how it goes. My 2013 rMBP will chug along for another year or so to ensure the transition goes smoothly. We will see.

But then I wonder if my iPhone will still be as desirable. I’ve had to stop upgrading there too, because the screen is getting too big for truly one-handed operation.

There's nothing about raytracing as a technique that puts a hard ceiling on efficiency/cost reduction. Any new technology is going to be expensive at first, and then presuming there's demand, will be made exponentially cheaper.

Quake 2 has already been made to ditch rasterization altogether and use only raytracing: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/quake-ii-rtx-ray-t...

It was the rasterization state of the art 22 years ago. So I'd say it will take a maximum of another 22 years to render today's AAA geometries in real-time with raytracing. Though given how much more money there is today in the gaming industry, plus the way AI augments that curve, I would take a guess that it'll be closer to 5 years.
It would make sense if in reply you could summarize an answer to the question and also say 'more at OK Sure," [1] For example maybe I as a user want to know but don't feel like getting stuck reading more or distracted.

[1] Since you are all about speed!
I'm exactly at the same place as you. Running a 4670k with a GTX 1080, and just waiting for Ryzen 3850X (or the equivalent) to drop so I can switch.

Looks like I will have to keep the GTX 1080 until 2020 if I want to use AMD for the GPU.
DJs of the Future Don't Spin Records–They Write Code
This seems like such an easy solution that is addressing a massive change in behavior -- folks looking at their phones when the car stops.
So how did they do the code test? Did they say you can do it in any language?

I interviewed for atlassian a few years ago. They gave me a tricky Java test, the kind that you’d only pass if you’ve been battling Java for years and know the gotchas. So that was a fail. I could have studied Java harder, but I’ve only got so much time and so many opportunities.
Except when this correlation is wrong. Such as when Trump won with less than 60% of the money spent by Hillary Clinton.

Financial Independence, Then Entrepreneurship (Reddit)
You can short sell but unfortunately (at least for retail, and to the extent of my knowledge) not trade options in the first week of trading for a newly listed stock. Which is a shame because I 100% would have bought puts in the first hours of trading when I saw the market price surge into the 80s. Lyft's float is pretty low volume so the surge of retail investors trying to add Lyft to their portfolios caused a mini bubble.
Sounds kind of like the Interactive Math Program that was (is?) used at some US high schools : https://www.mathimp.org/
In fact, mentioning a History degree might make someone doubt your ability to keep your code DRY...
For Chomsky, I would hazard finite state automata, BNF systems, and Turing machines. I might then mumble about number of tapes and time to recognize, and then stop.
I don’t remember them being a double link list. IIRC, the first two bytes of a tokenized line was the address of the next statement and each command was tokenized.

For speed, if you had a “subroutine” (gosub/return) that was called frequently, it was better to place it at the beginning of the program because it was an O(n) operation to travel the linked list.

It makes me sad thinking about how much more I knew about the underpinnings of my computer architecture and chosen language in the 8th grade than I know now as a working professional. I can still write 65C02 assembly language using an Apple // emulator but I wouldn’t know where to start with x86.

On any particular card it's still a tradeoff. If you can bake lighting in to 90% of the scene and get a much more complex visual at the same framerate, you'll do that no matter how fast the card is. (Unless the game is very low-spec or you really can't spare the time.)
The article says that the Red Cross, lacking expertise, provided money to other organizations that had more. So I'm suspecting the criticism of "only six houses" is crafted to be misleading. It doesn't seem reasonable to say "they only built six houses" with the implication that their aid was direct, while at the same time, in the same article, criticizing them for the overhead of providing aid indirectly. You can slam them for one or the other, but not both.
Doctor here - honestly, a paper record works great generally.

The really useful low hanging fruit of EHR is an electronic portal for radiology results, blood results, discharge summaries and letters. If you have a way to link family doctor/pharmacy prescriptions with hospitals, thats great too.

My ideal health IT system assuming perfect AI and everything else would be:

- Automatic recording of everything discussed and done
between nurses/doctors with no input from the doctor and producing a record which reads in a sensible way

- Automatic prompting for things the doctor/nurse was likely missed or should discuss during a consult (but only to a sensible level of detail)

- Automatic checking for common ommissions, or things that are being done that perhaps shouldn't be, so a patient who has a microcytic anaemia triggers a check to ask a doctor "do you want to order iron studies on this patient?"
> well known scientific observation

Is it though? I tried to find a source for your claim but came up with inconclusive studies, at best. Do you have any sources for this or is it just a well known myth?
The two-party system is a direct result of FPTP election forms.

First past the post receives a lot of criticism for
restricting options to vote for due to the idea of vote
splitting and strategic voting. This leads elections to
run into the commonly referred to "Lesser of two evils"
dilemma and ends with a 2-party system in place. With 42%
of Americans saying they identify as independent and 60%
of Americans saying the need for a new party is apparent,
it would suggest that the FPTP voting system is failing
democracy, failing Americans, and failing America.

Well, any overlap with that scientific observation is, I'm sure, a happy accident.

I'm not a medical professional (obviously) and you shouldn't take medical advice from anyone on the Internet.

With any medical decision one of the important questions to ask is "What happens if we do nothing? What happens if we just watch and wait?" This isn't just for mental health. Whatever it is you should ask your doctor that question.

Then you have to balance the risk of side effects and discontinuation against not doing anything.

If you want evidence-based advice from a credible source you can read the NICE guidance: https://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/depression

And here: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg90

Personally - I liked venlafaxine for the first two years but one of the side effects was hard to live with. I was on a high dose for years, and coming off it was rough for two weeks. I'm currently on Mirtazipine which doesn't feel liek it's working, and causes me to feel hungry all the time, but I'm not dead so maybe it is working. I think I would have preferred a more active "off-boarding", although I can understand why in my case people were reluctant to take me off a med that appears to keep me alive. I had low-intensity IAPT (a UK talking therapy thing) which was not good, and I had high intensity IAPT (one to one, face to face with an experienced therapist using CBT for 14 weeks) which was considerably better. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy has a good evidence base and is effective for about 60% of the people who do it (although those numbers are tricky).

EDIT: I forgot to mention that whatever you do I hope things pick up, and good luck!!
If he's said "inversely proportional to having played Fortnite" then I think he wouldn't have been far off the truth?
Fee-for-Service vs salary makes a difference too. In FFS, the quicker you finish, the quicker you go home for the same pay.

When you’re salaried by the health system, it’s an easier sell to enter in your own orders and sell the downstream savings as funding your next pay increase.
CPU on your phone is probably gonna be the main reason VPN is slower than not using one.

But this only sends DNS over the VPN so it won’t use much power at all. 99% of your traffic does not route via the VPN with this app.

Ask HN: What is the hand-washing of development?
I'm reading "Better" by Atul Gawande about how physicians and medical care can improve.

He cites hand-washing as one of the simplest and most effective ways to prevent complications from hospital stays. He writes about how it's universally effective at reducing infections, but still doesn't get implemented for dozens of different reasons (including laziness).

What is the "hand-washing of development"? What is a simple practice that, when universally and consistently braced by a development team, always results in higher quality output with fewer defects?

Put another way, what are we most often not doing that we COULD do and know that we SHOULD do?
These salaries for NY look high to me, and there’s almost no variation based on experience. Whereas in my experience hiring here, entry level is $60-80k and seniors command around $150k.

Now, that’s for startups. Banks will pay twice that.

I’m wondering what the medians look like - the means being displayed may be distorted by the finance and Google outliers.

Edited to add: $60k is a middle class salary for a single person in NYC. (Though people who are unaccustomed to small apartment living / the idea of singles having roommates / the idea that middle class means having to compromise on some expenses will complain otherwise.) I wouldn’t want to try to raise a family of 4 here on that income, though.

$130k is definitely upper middle class for a single person, but a family of 4 on that income is going to have to live way outside the hip areas of the outer boroughs in order to be able to afford housing.
Oh man Graphile is exactly what I've been looking for my own project at work. And it worked right out of the box with one command. Thank you so very much!
I was most pissed off by the redesigned arrow keys. I can never find them by touch anymore. I have to look down every time. It was a completely pointless change. I’m convinced they did it just to specifically piss me off.
it's actually beautiful.
He didn't even want to know what we make. He had no idea. And no interest. Hopefully he was just showing up for practice or something and not actually expecting a good outcome.

Being inexperienced can excuse a lot, but not a total lack of basic curiosity. And I'd say it's useful to know what a company is producing so you can know if you have any interest in helping produce it.

|I just don't really get this attitude.

Hopefully you just weren't understanding just how bad this was. If not, then try harder I guess?

I would call those good questions from someone experienced or savvy. The guy I'm talking about didn't even care to know what we make.

It's not like we were Facebook or something where he'd already know.
Hey, I'm the guy who made this! This all started from a random idea I had, but then I was tickled by the thought of becoming faster than the average typist on a piano. It all culminated with a livestream today (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/404585365) where I did typing tests for about 3 hours.

I'll try to address the comments on here, so ask any questions you have!
I was thinking about an actual comment from a moderator in a regular thread discussion. In almost all the discussion I've seen from the mods when they talk about "workarounds" they were referring to ways to read the article on the original site.

For example, searching for the article's title to find the link on Google and clicking that, or following the link in a private browsing window (often works for sites that give everyone N free articles per month).

I never got the impression that linking to pirate copies of the article counted, but then found a moderator comment that said it was OK. I don't remember the exact context, but I think it was in a thread where an account that posts a lot of such links did so, someone asked if this was OK, and a moderator said it was.
Why any worse than waste from refining petroleum?
The concept of adopting someone in a poor country and sending them money was a thing at least 40-50 years ago, and if people (such as in this thread) no longer remember that it was a thing, I'm guessing it's because it became known as a large scale scam and people got disillusioned.

Why do you refer to this as a VPN?

Is WARP+ the full VPN ?
At this point, every single person who bought Lyft in the last two days is underwater. The only ones who are still above water are the pre-IPO investors and I wonder what their lock-up agreements are. In no way can this be called a success for anyone, it's a terrible IPO.
Set and follow a schedule that offers/requires breaks and minimizes external interruptions.

Pair programming is substantially more enjoyable and brings everybody up to speed faster when they're co-located. All-remote pairing can introduce the problems associated with remote work.

Since only one in the pair can "drive", measure who's driving how much of the time. A senior dev should start with the majority of the time but should reach a point where the junior dev is doing the majority.

The cholesterol in = blood cholesterol fallacy is one of the greatest nutrition crimes in history. Low fat/high carb diets are the primary culprit, along with genetics. Replacing meat and dairy with vegetables may have environmental and ethical benefits, but it doesn't have health benefits.
I bought some from the supermarket and cooked it up. While the impossible burger does resemble, smell, and taste like meat, it doesn't smell or taste like a hamburger. It smells and tastes almost exactly like Spam. It'll be great once the price goes down.
