I'm glad they were able to sort it out so quickly.

I don't think it's so much that doctors don't care as that most cases spontaneously resolve faster than any person can systematically figure them out.

There's a psychological benefit to the parents -- they're often pretty stressed out and feeling like they're the problem. Putting on a white coat and a serious face while diagnosing the problem as intrinsic to the infant relieves the parents of the burden of thinking they're bad at their new permanent job, and probably helps bolster their waning ability to handle trying to comfort a crying infant without snapping and harming the baby or themselves. I don't think the idea is to leave the baby to wail as much as it is to get the parents to stop taking the wailing personally.

Like most of the paternalistic little white lies doctors deploy, it's not usually the appropriate treatment for patients who know better. Sadly some doctors never learn to distinguish these little psychological tricks (which are an important part of the medical art) from real knowledge about human biology. If they frustrate rather than comfort you, and your doctor can't or won't be straight with you, it's time to find a new one.

Hmm I hadn't really considered cross-platform(as I mentioned above aside from a forced forey into Mac ATM dur to work, I've always been windows).

I'm thinking perhaps I should take some primers on non windows coding, and the advantages there of. Anyone have any good beginners links (note I'm fairly adept at Java, .net, vb and such, just trying to find a good place - and reason - to learn something cross platform).

Pre:edit: I don't mean this to sound argumentative about platforms, just honestly looking for some good resources (and I'm fairly time constrained)
Need Advice
Hello

I've been involved in startups and IT entrepreneurship for over 8 years. During this time, I have been opening companies - closing down companies, attracting investments - making investments, buying companies - selling companies, hiring people - firing people, attending conferences - speaking at conferences, making money - losing money. I felt all the pains of a startup and an entrepreneur at all stages of the business from idea to profit with all the ups and downs.

For the last couple of years i've have been actively helping startups, technology and mobile companies to achieve their business goals through video marketing. We have already managed to work with such companies as OneSoil, WANNABY, PandaDoc Minsk, Exness, Flo: Smart Period Tracker, RocketBody and many others.

I have always wanted to do something useful for other companies, that's why we tried to pack all our experience with content and social media into a single solution:

Video marketing for startups, tech and mobile companies. From idea verification to hypergrowth:

http://startup.slonmedia.com

With the help of video we help companies:

- test ideas and hypotheses. First, show the product to the audience, collect feedback, get a preview, and then invest a lot of resources in the creation.

- Attract investment with better visual materials

- Showcase the product from the best sides and explain how to use it with the help of good product, exhibitors and educational videos.

- And, of course, to grow and attract new users with the help of quality video creatives with high CTR.

I will be glad to receive any criticism, feedback, ideas and advice on how to develop, where to promote, to whom to sell.

In summer we are taking the product to the Startup Grind in London, I want to get better prepared. Write to me. Thank you!

There is a benefit in starting to restrict fossil fuels early. It has to be done at some point anyway because the backing resource is limited and contributes to the human-hostile terraforming of our planet. Continuing with burning coal and oil is simply a losing proposition.

Also, while defossilizing the industry base, it makes sense to enhance, increase and automate local factories to make it viable to produce things locally and not half a world away. Add a functional and effective system for recycling materials to use for new production, etc. and the long term trend is clear: China's role as the production hub of the world will diminish dramatically. From this perspective I do not understand why China does not seem to be racing like mad to restrict fossil fuels.
Honestly I'm not joking, but I am a casual coder. I have only learnt what I need to do, to do certain things. Which compared to most here isn't that much. (See my other responses, I'd actually love some input there, just wish I had more time to learn)

Edit: as to the reference to the last part of your comment, I have only been using what I knew to do the job I needed, I'm not a full time coder so I can't search the latest and greatest, another reason I picked this thread to ask :-)

> We believe that no data has been lost, unless the [...] GitLab copy was the only one.

One difference between how GitLab and GitHub run their infrastructure is that GitLab doesn't keep reflogs, and uses git's default "gc" settings.

As a result they won't have the data in question anymore in many cases[1]. Well, I don't 100% know that for sure, but it's the default configuration of their software, and I'm assuming they use like that themselves.

Whereas GitHub does keep reflogs, and runs "git repack" with the "--keep-unreachable" option. They don't usually delete git data unless someone bothers to manually do it, and they usually have data to reconstruct repositories as they were at any given point in time.

GitHub doesn't expose that to users in any way, although perhaps they'd take pity on some of their users after such an incident.

This isn't a critique of GitLab, just trivia about the storage trade-offs different major Git hosting sites have made, which might be informative to some other people.

I'm surprised no major Git hosting site has opted to provide such a "we have a snapshot of every version ever" feature. People would probably pay for it, you could even make them opt to pay for access to backups you kept already if they screwed things up :)

1. Well, maybe as disaster backups or something. But those are harder to access...

In this particular case, the author is using an SDR device to caputure data emitted by the satellite, and then decode it using software (goestools). There is no interaction with the satellite, it's just a device listening to a broadacst emission.

The price of a product is not the same as the wages a corporation pays its employees. Walmart's billions of profits could have been shared more fairly with its employees but that's not how the "Cult of the MBA" treats their fellow human beings.

The Meteosats don't directly disseminate, there is a service, EUMETCast, which broadcasts from commercial communications satellites, although you need a decryption key: https://www.eumetsat.int/website/home/Data/DataDelivery/EUME...

Formula can be preferable to breastfeeding. The benefits of breastmilk are real, but typically overstated. If you have the time, the energy (and the milk-production!) then, sure, you should breastfeed. But if the decision isn't right for you, you shouldn't feel bad about giving your babies formula. The most important thing is making sure the baby is fed.

Obviously, the Nestle story is disgusting, but that doesn't mean a mom can't supplement with a little formula while she waits for her milk to come in, or in order to avoid pumping in the bathroom at work, or to let dad take over a feeding or two so she can sleep. The messaging given to new moms makes it sound like milk is magic health juice and formula is one step above rat poison, but this isn't the case.

As you can see in this discussion, there already are some obtuse ways to disable/ignore the signing.

> And the idea that corporate developers or even frankly any developers are switching to LLVM and WebAssembly en masse is pretty ridiculous.

There is only 1 popular language released since 2009 that targets JVM: Kotlin. All other target JS, their own bytecode or LLVM: Go, Rust, Dart, Elixer, Julia, Typescript, Swift.

This is a significant difference from 2003-2009 languages which all targeted JVM unless they were Microsofts: Groovy, Scala and Clojure.
> a) Java/JVM hasn't moved out of the enterprise space at all. Not sure where you got that idea.

It's the opposite, it's that old school entreprise type software & frameworks are getting less used.

> b) Android isn't switching to Kotlin because of licensing since it is a JVM language after all. It's purely because it is a much better language than Java and has great tooling courtesy of Jetbrains.

I think it's a mix of both, getting sued by Oracle probably did not help.

Generally these tend to be systems that work with machine generated data, my experience is with sensor data generated by automobiles (automated car efforts).

Naive solutions tend to either summarize the data, store as logs and then run batch processes to index in some form (or leave unindexed and just brute force the computation), or limit the incoming data rate to whatever could be indexed.

These can work for some use cases, but make it very difficult to operationalize these data sources (i.e use them to make real-timeish decisions).

Even human generated data sources (fb / twitter etc.) can generate something close to that data rate.
You mean that the engineers quietly analyzed the test flight data and decided to increase the parameters on their own, so that the flight data show similarity between a MAX and a NG ?

This is a slightly better question when you know that most food brands in a US grocery store belong to one of a much smaller number (3? 4?) of companies. So the brands are about more than just "people want different kinds of food". They appear to exist for their own sake, independently of how many kinds of food there should be.

I'm currently working on a side project, a distributed in-process key/value store for .NET Standard, which might be interesting in this context.

And of course, if you see any issues with the approach.

> It’s fascinating still to read, for example, Hertzl’s (Sephardi on his fathers’s side) commentary about this specific issue.

I personally wouldn't take my source of knowledge about Yiddish from father of the movement whose whole ambition was to abandon the Yiddish world.

> To be accurate, Ashkenazi jews don’t speak Yiddish they speak German. There was a cultural disconnect between these two groups themselves. The term oestjuden for example was used pejoratively.

Sorry but this is plain wrong again. A fusion language of German and Judeo-Semitic languages emerged from around the region of Germany at some point, the earliest writings of which are dated about a thousand years ago. This language spread and came to be known as Yiddish. The 18C Jewish Enlightenment (Haskalah) and Moses Mendelsohn in particular derided this Germanic 'jargon'. Where the Haskalah spread in Central and Western Europe, Ashkenazi Jews abandoned Yiddish for the major languages of their hosts - eg High German, French. In the east, especially Poland, where Jews tended to be much poorer and derided by the rich Jews to their west as 'Ostjuden', Yiddish remained the language of Ashkenazi Jewish community. and so it was until the Khurbn (Holocaust/Shoah), Stalin's post-War liquidation of Yiddish intellectuals and the State of Israel's only recently relaxed hostility to the language and culture. Ashkenazi Jews who migrated to America eventually felt the need to abandon the language too. And that's how a language almost died.

Except it didn't, because religious (Haredi) Jews, who represented a small minority of Jews pre-WWII, had too much at stake in Yiddish - commentaries, writings, the Tzenereneh, teachings - and didn't feel the same need to assimilate as secular Jews. So today the vast majority of Yiddish speakers across the world come from the religious tradition, including the one Israel.

OTOH, it's opensource, and you can re-compile it in like 20-30 minutes with whatever changes you desire. So you have the control. You can probably even add some hacked up support for multiple signing certificates (and add yours there), if you tried.

It's just that it's more work than having what you want implmeneted and maintained by others.

Price discrimination?
Indeed, Yiddish is used in Israel, but consider the demographics here. Foreigners don’t come into much contact with the Yiddish-using Haredim. The Haredim tend to stay within their own communities, which are not neighbourhoods where just any tourist is going to pass through. Even when I have often been picked up by Haredim when hitchhiking in Israel, it is hard to have any kind of exchange with them; they will help out a non-religious person, but not chat with them.

So, the Israelis whom foreigners are likely to come into contact with are the whole rest of the population. They do not use Yiddish or know a thing about it. Considering how much the more secular part of the country dislikes the Haredim, I can see how they would bristle at any question about a cultural feature they see as Haredim-linked.

In all honesty, the paper describes a solution to a problem most companies won't need to care about. If processing latency for remote cache lookups is a performance bottleneck, it's likely you're already dealing with either enormous scale (Google/FB/Twitter/Uber/...) or some form of HFT (exchanges/hedge funds/banks/adtech/...)

Amusingly enough, I have reason to believe those groups are over-represented in HN audience. They are also environments where computing capacity can make up a significant fraction of your overall engineering costs.

In practically any other scenario the sub-millisecond delay is dominated and completely masked by your business logic taking tens to even hundreds of milliseconds per request. Remember - if you can return a response and a visual update to a client action within 100ms (including the network roundtrip), you're already operating in the lowest Nielsen band.

Another funny thing about this paper is that it feels to me like people are rediscovering zero-copy network processing. Again, a topic dear to many HN hearts but unlikely to be a prime consideration for most companies.
