The more hands you have touching any given system the work required to ensure compliance in any regulated industry increases, that's certainly a given.

Technical compliance is the easy part in all honesty, all of the human elements (policy, procedure) requires constant attention and is the majority of what our compliance and QA teams deal with. This is the hardest thing to deal with, and it's not even just "don't expose PHI" but making sure you have everything just the way a certain insurance company likes things, that a chart has supporting documentation for a specific procedure, etc. Makes me glad I only have to deal with our applications and the systems they run on, props to the compliance team for all the headache they have to deal with.
Can you give an example from your search history? How can you quantify that results got worse?
Go vs. Elixir: A concurrency comparison [slides]
The UK, where Monzo is from, has (from what I can glean as someone who has not lived in the US) a much better banking experience than the US. Cheques are rarely used by most people because bank transfers are instant and free,d there is a functional Direct Debit system for automated variable-amount billing, most bank accounts are free with the every-day services (payments, bank transfers, ATM withdrawals, cash deposits) also being free, EMV “Chip and PIN” payments have been the default for well over a decade, contactless is widely deployed, etc.

The difference from the US is probably that there are less institutional hurdles to establishing a new bank.
You are no doubt correct, but I could easily believe that 1% of people would be willing to, but don't know that there is a need, or how to volunteer for it if they did. Also, a system for crowdsourcing this, with "crowd" being minimally vetted volunteers, so that maybe you can't get everything but you could do 5% of the total.
THANK YOU. I used it for 7 years, because I was sick of constantly tending to my Gentoo install. I used LM because it Just Worked. I never had to think about the OS, I could just focus on my work.

The biggest bug I had in 7 years of using it was my /boot partition filling up because new kernel installs wouldn't delete the old kernels/initrd.img. Other than that, it just worked. Thank you
Bacteria are relatively easy to spot. If Alzheimers sufferers have more of a given bacteria in their brain than non-sufferers, that should have stood out many decades ago. I'm missing something here.
Samsung Galaxy S10 is still waterproof, still has headphone jack and can drive airpods.

Why do you behave like those things are exclusive?!
Firstly, you are mistaken about the Crystal Goblet, and maybe, in this case, Butterick is doing the same. It is predicated on the assumption that typography does have an effect; Warde goes on to claim that it is at its best when it is not ostentatiously drawing attention to itself.

Secondly, you are attempting to create a straw man by insisting that the Crystal Goblet must be (mis)read as an absolute manifesto, but if you need to do that, you don't really have much of an argument against it (I don't think Butterick is making this error.)

Thirdly, you are waffling over whether Butterick is claiming a significant difference between himself and Warde. By the fifth paragraph, you are tentatively acknowledging that Butterick is (probably) making such a claim, which is wise, because otherwise your argument would quite clearly just be pointlessly and tiresomely pedantic (something that I would not accuse Butterick of being.) Immediately after that, however, you resume being pedantic by bringing back the straw man, saying that it would not matter if Butterick was not claiming a significant difference because (your misunderstanding of) Warde's position is that it is an absolutist one. This sort of having-your-cake-and-eating-it sometimes goes by the name of a motte-and-bailey fallacy.

Maybe we should just go back to my original point: what, of significance, is a typical work of prose missing before it is typeset? you might actually be able to make a case for mathematics, some poetry and possibly medieval illuminated manuscripts, but these are corner cases in comparison to the global corpus of prose.

But then compare that to Photoshop where you don't need to use any external tools or play with a bunch of settings.

You just scale the image down and it looks flawless and takes like 2 seconds. In over 10 years of using Photoshop I never once noticed a blurry downscaled image, but the first time I used Gimp to resize an image I immediately saw a poor result. I used every resize strategy too (including NoHalo and LoHalo -- they are both really bad compared to Photoshop).

It makes working with Gimp for any web style graphics a huge hassle because down scaling images is something you do all the time, and it's not just the final image too. It's every layer you're working with. Having to export every layer into a third party app and then re-place it is a huge time sink.

Thanks. As discussed further down the thread, it is disingenuous to add natural resources to Australia's total but not Norway's total. (Metals and fishing are both 10% each of Norways exports.) This makes it 15.5k per person in Norway, giving a ratio of 3, halfway between the ratio I eyeballed (4) and the one you did (2).
Yes I do. I keep it in notion or random .txt files.

Oh wow, great read... I wish I had seen that earlier. Thanks for sharing! To elaborate, the rabbit hole I remember going down was something like googling "how to center css", then after being confused by a number of horrible incantations, arrived at flexbox then CSS grid, which was slightly less confusing, and then I took some time to really study the basics/fundamentals.

It also doesn't help that so many websites, even personal sites/portfolios these days, have so much markup goop and cruft that makes it quite hard to learn by example :(
Ask HN: Looking to buy web bases side project for less than $1000
I am looking for small websites/softwares that I can buy and (hopefully) scale a bit. This will mostly be a side project. My budget is $500 or less (preferably $300).

Anyone here willing to sell one? I am aware of websites like sideprojectors.com, but I have not found much that interests me.

Example: There was one recently looking to sell gitignore.com but I do not know what I can do better, so I am not touching it.

It's 61 bytes because you're using two spaces instead of tabs! :^)

You can shave off 2 more bytes by using em instead of rem. In your use case they are functionally the same. Rem is em relative to the root element. Your <main> pretty much is the root element.
You need to reread your own citation. Murder is defined in subsection (a) of your cite, but the actual federally prosecutable crime is in subsection (b), and is only when a murder is committed “Within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States”, itself defined at 18 USC § 7 [0]. The offense here did not occur in the special maritime and territorial jursidiction of the United States.

Totally agree! When Samsung first released their flat screen LCD TVs, ours kept failing after two years of usage and was out of warranty. Apparently a bunch of Korean TVs (including LG) had a bad batch of caps from their vendors. Getting it fixed would of cost $300. Buying my own cap and fixing with my dad cost $1. It was a fun bonding experience too.
> I noticed a difference in clarity using Audio-Technica ATH-M50s and Beyerdynamic DT 990 250Ω. Specifically, the Beyerdynamics could be driven "good enough" for me with the iPhone SE jack, but I wasn't happy with how they sounded on the Lightning dongle.

Scientifically speaking, it should be noted that the adapter performs exceedingly well to the point of audible transparency[1]. You are not going to hear the distortion components as they lie below 90 dB.

The fact of the matter is that your ears simply cannot be trusted, not when it comes to discerning differences in DACs and amps. There is a beautiful read[2] that illustrates this by NwAvGuy, it's worth checking out even for non-audiophile.

And Xiph's Digital Show and Tell[3] (again, a must-read) tells us that the 44kHz of the dongle is more than enough for audible transparency to humans.

The differences you hear are likely due to incorrectly matched volumes. If you volume-match to a fraction of a decibel, you probably would not be able to tell the difference in a blind test. There are other potential differences like a different impedance etc but these should only effect a very small subset of IEMs, let alone your headphones.

You might be surprised. Last election we saw spots of orange and red appear in what was once always blue. Demographic change appears to be moving against the Conservatives and the oil industry.
I recognize some of those scrots. Funny to see another /g/ent with a minimalist setup and website.

I have about twice the amount of CSS, but most of it was to match my personal setup of colors/fonts: https://nadyanay.me/assets/css/style.css

361 characters (yours) vs 615 characters (mine)

Remove the font family and .fav classes and some of the unnecessary border overrides and mine comes out to a more equivalent 319 characters, while still retaining the spacing and color scheme.
I would guess that the main reason for linseed oil not forming a hard surface coating on wood is that it doesn't form a surface coating at all. It soaks in.

Maybe if you saturate the wood, let it dry, and then keep adding additional coats, you'd start to get one. But, in a world where varnish exists, I'm not sure why you'd do that unless you were trying to reproduce a period technique or something.
I guess black hats would consider memory corruption welcomed features.
TL;DR: As you probably know, AWS has become Amazon's massive profit engine, and Alphabet is an advertising company.

According to this, if you separate Costco's business into the purely discount retail sales part, and membership fees, the former runs at a modest loss, the company makes its money on the fees. Which the article claims are reliable, with a 90% renewal rate, and are fairly price inelastic, with last years rise resulting in minimal losses.

It's concisely relates the figures for all of this, they're quite interesting. E.g. AWS $26 billion in 2018 sales, $7 billion in operating income. Emphasis since I'm pretty sure most of that money is going to growing the service.
Most of the lambda related things I do are backend ETL and message processing.

Is Serverless just for API use cases or does it support other event triggers like SNS and SQS or one of the patterns we use is

S3 Event -> SNS -> SQS -> lambda and all of the related permissions and subscriptions.

But then again, isn’t the whole purpose of using Serverless instead of SAM to be cloud vendor neutral? Once you add AWS specific resources doesn’t that go against the whole ideal of using Serverless?
Because you don't want to put hurdles between your users and posting a message. When you do, you're just creating incentive to move to another platform.
It's a cool little snippet but it's nothing more than three run-of-the-mill CSS declarations.
The maximum width is specified, a small padding is applied and the margins around the element are set to automatic so it centers itself horizontally.

All the other styles applied on this pages are not part of the snippet. The weight of the titles, the spacing under the paragraphs, etc., are all specified on the page's CSS file but not described in the blogpost itself. [0]

I was expecting something akin to normalize.css[1] which normalize the default styles of your page[2].

There are multiple very lightweight CSS "frameworks" that you should carry around instead of the snippet shown here. We are talking ~5KB. See https://github.com/troxler/awesome-css-frameworks#very-light for a great list.

[2] Normalize CSS aims to make built-in browser styling consistent across browsers. Elements like H1-6 will appear bold, larger et cetera in a consistent way across browsers. You're then supposed to add only the difference in decoration your design needs.

they have a plan for this: reformulating old drugs for new indications. if drug X was originally made for condition Y but there is some inkling which suggests it could work for condition Z, they can commission a new round of trials and eventually remarket X for Z. thus the crusty and middlingly profitable X gets a new lease on life, treating Z with modest efficacy. they do this at a very high rate at present.

they can also rehabilitate their older drugs by making facile new combinations in which drugs A and B which treat condition Z are combined into the same pill which is now rebranded as drug C. this technique is beneficial because if A and B were first-line treatments before, C is guaranteed to be a first-line treatment with a minimal amount of time in the wild.

then there's the old side effect shuffle in which older drugs with acceptable but unpleasant side effects are reformulated or otherwise tweaked to offer marginally better patient experiences, most frequently in a single small patient demographic. marginal improvements win the market if the drug's target demographic is already suffering a lot from their condition or their treatments.

in conclusion, the pharmas can create the appearance of innovation and modest new revenues nearly indefinitely even when their pipelines are in actuality quite sparse and breakthrough innovation is absent. this ability to churn old stuff buys them time to create new stuff to put into the pipeline using more complex therapeutics like immunotherapies, etc.
Well, one night in 2007 I wrote a 3-D rendering engine in JS http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/torus and one Friday night in 2013 I wrote a raytracer in C http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/aspmisc/my-very-first-raytra.... It took me until almost 4 AM, at which point I had reflection, color, and Lambertian shading from a tabular ASCII scene file format; a few days later I added procedural textures, a K-V-pair scene file format, specular highlights, and some more textures.

One night last year I wrote http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/usql.py, a toy SQL database supporting queries that join up to two tables. I would have implemented more of SQL, but I had set myself a two-hour time limit, and there isn't a parsing engine in the Python standard library.

Last month I wrote a Mandelbrot set renderer in Python, but it was slow, so I rewrote it in Lua using LuaJIT, which made it extremely fast. That took less than an hour, but I subsequently added some more features to it, so it represents maybe a few hours of work now: https://gitlab.com/kragen/bubbleos/blob/master/yeso/mand.lua

(That one will only run on Linux right now, or MacOS with X11, because it uses my GUI library Yeso, which I haven't ported to Quartz or GDI yet. The others are portable.)

aspmisc, dev3, and bubbleos are Git repos you can clone if you like. You may need to append /.git to the URL.

Those were all purely programming exercises, not drawing on frameworks and libraries and whatnot beyond the very basic stuff that comes with the languages in question (and, in the Mandelbrot case, the Yeso library), but of course I've also learned how to use a bunch of tools; I can spin up a new React project with an Express server and get something working in an hour or two, I can hack together a visualization with D3 in minutes, I can spin up a test server on Bithost in a few minutes, I can import stuff into SQLite or LevelDB in a few minutes, I can write a website scraper using Beautiful Soup and urllib2 in half an hour or so, and so on. So if there's something that's easy to do in SQLite, I don't waste my time doing it the hard way in Python, and vice versa.

I think there's enormous value in investing in tools like Docker to reduce the overhead in spinning up a new environment. There's also a lot to be said for improving low-level skills like typing, text editing, and writing and debugging simple code. It allows you to devote more attention, and more uninterrupted attention, to higher-level tasks like system design. But mostly programming more productively is not about writing code faster, although that sure helps; it's about writing less code.
Thanks for the clarification, that makes a huge difference in meaning. Appreciated.
Right, but to be human is to be fallible. For example, I left my garage door open all night last night (I was preoccupied when I went in, and just forgot to push the button). I've had a smart garage door for a while, but I just now added a schedule to automatically close the door at 1am, if it's not closed. That has value.

Likewise, my smart sprinkler system monitors the weather and waters the lawn based on the amount of rain we've had. Over the rainy season here, it automatically disabled sprinkling for over 3 months. Sure, I could setup something with a water sensor, or push the rain-skip button each week, but it was nice to not have to think about it.
Why do YouTube and others allow mass reporting at scale? They should use a CAPTCHA for each reported URL to ensure that the reports are being sent by humans.
The drug companies are in a situation where lowering the prices will mean they have to lower rebates, which means they won’t get picked up by insurances where the competition is on rebates not on list-price, this in turn means they reach fewer patients..

Drug companies can lower prices but it doesn’t help anyone because they aren’t selling directly to consumers at the list prices unless they decide to completely ignore the entire insured population. Which is basically the same as just straight up announcing that they are closing shop. Imagine if Apple tomorrow announced that they where going to stop selling phones to anyone who has a medical insurance in order to provide cheaper phones to those who aren’t insured. Imagine how fast their stock and company would implode.

The drug companies want to reach the uninsured population however so they are pushing for things like selling biosimilars under different price schemes or selling cheap alternatives directly to consumers.

Drug producers do have a social responsibility, but that responsibility has to be seen in the light of reaching the patients. Right now the consumer market in the US is split into insured/uninsured and through the list-price/rebate shenanigans the middlemen are controlling access to both segments. And the structure of the rebates has put them in a situation where they aren’t representing the consumers in negotiations because higher prices allow higher rebates which never get passed on to the consumers.
