Git isn't really all that fast for what it is. The "git is fast" thing came about as a comparison to non-distributed version control systems, where changing what branch you were working on could involve coordinating with some (often overburdened) server on the other side of the planet.

That's not to say git is slow of course. It's just.. basically what you'd expect given it's architecture.
Used Google glass for a project three years ago. The biggest question for going to Enterprise is demonstrating the value the solution provides, rather than showing some cool gadgets. I still don't see a killer use case of Google glass.

It is too late. I've stuck with Solr and things are good.
Dentists don't have any trouble taking regular full-mouth x-rays. Maybe this is because this translates into money for each problem found.

In the same way, skin doctors take photos of body moles to see if any changes occur between visits.

I think internal doctors should start viewing this as inevitable.

Then up-front develop "watchful waiting" plans that over the course of time and several scans chase down any suspicious changes.
I'm reading The Procrastination Equation right now, and it has the following (excellent, IMO) advice:

Find tasks of any sort at all that you can do. Do them, noting your success. Do this every day. Again, pay attention to successes. Recognize that you accomplish your goals, and expand on those goals.

For goals that take multiple days to accomplish, your first task is to plan by breaking the goal down into smaller tasks you can accomplish in a day. Appreciate completion of each of these, including the planning itself.

The book does a better job of pitching it & giving examples. The most relevant bit is in Chapter 8.
So the bar you're setting is based on the some of the bloodiest conflicts in human history?

Move on.

Some people would consider the second or third email as spam, that is fine. If they block you, that means that was a dead end anyway.

My experience is that people are busy and we forget to reply sometimes. 3 emails in a row, in a matter of days, would be spam for me too.
By this logic, shouldn’t we nationalize most major industries? oil/energy, motor vehicles, the list is endless.
If that data is injected into the page (possibly without being visible), I would say that still counts as scraping.
> ...or trust the government with the education of your children. As much as the Left sneer at it, a voucher system would give people the liberty to choose the schools they want and not what they are forced to accept.

As long as everyone gets the same voucher, same amount for voucher, and has guaranteed public transportation to the same schools as others, with no regard for race, ethnicity, background, then sure go for vouchers.... if you can't guarantee those things then it's just another system that can be gamed.

> Meanwhile, governments support doctrines that have turned out to be false, even just basic things like diet. Animal fat and dietary cholesterol for instance, is no longer believed to be the cause of heart disease. And can aid weight loss.

I agree on this because government can be bought and the sugar industry has done a snap job at turning diet industries upside down blaming fat instead of themselves.

> Social doctrines also are arguably causing widespread misery for people trapped by government welfare systems at such a high cost that it depresses local economic activity.

What about welfare that walmart gets? They not only get HUGE tax cuts, they ALSO get to pay their employees dirt wages because the U.S. government will pick up the slack.

Guaranteed basic income could stop that or alleviate it at least by giving them a guaranteed living wage. Another issue is runaway spending on executives who really aren't worth a damn in (many instances), and those who are still are NOT worth what they're paid.

Also how does welfare depress local economic activity more than taking money from the bottom, and funneling it to an offshore account? If A. makes $25k, and gets government help to raise that to $35k, that's $10k more they have to spend yearly. 60%+ will be spent locally propping up the local economy. If B. earns > 10 million annually and gets a huge tax cut that saves them an extra 100k, that 100k is just going to sit in the bank in the Caymen's -- it might be earning interest for the rich guy but that's about it.

> The problem here is that modern capitalism is quite evidently not healthy. With the historical profit margin on goods of 3% now at a mad 11% due to monopoly power

Pegging CEO pay to average of ALL employees including outsourced, freelance, and contractors (even janitorial staff), would go a long way towards making capitalism more fair.
I mean, you’re a useless piece of shit, but hey, let’s entertain your retarded little fantasy for five seconds.

Privatization of education means less doctors (due to price gouging), but there’s a theoretically bottomless pit of sick people, which is a pool that potentially includes the doctors themselves, so...

Now, as soon as the doctors are saturated, it doesn’t matter how free their care is. You’ll just burn them out until they’re sick too.

But let’s think about a world where we supply an infinite amount of education, to produce as many doctors as possible... And then maybe work with that supply to stock the shelves of infinite free medicine.

That actually doesn’t work because, on the one hand we have permanently stupid people who lack the competence needed to function as a doctor. On the other hand there are people too selfish or dysfunctional from a personality standpoint to even lend a helping hand, so they wouldn’t even engage in medical training for their own sheer amusement.

So doctors are always in short supply, when stood next to the potential for sick people, and often even actual sick people. We never reach a 1:1 ratio of doctor to patient, as a threshold for perfect supply feeding directly into demand. Doctor time is always divided across multiple patients. In the world of spherical cows, some cows will die alone.

But I get that you’re just being a snarky little douchebag. Have fun with that.
Was the nature of deletion explicitly defined as "deleted records are removed from all databases, data warehouses included"?

They technically wouldn't be lying if they only deleted the record from application systems, but retained it in historical data by simply setting a bit flag (eg "IsDeleted") to 1.

The question about what motive they have comes down to whether or not the types of posts a person deletes indicate something meaningful about their personality. Ad analytics are ultimately seeking to understand the kind of person you are, after all.
Do Not Track Me
What I mean is, just because the person is "actually an MD" doesn't mean the person has expertise in this specific area yet the person is using it to claim such. I.E. some might call me a computer scientist, but that doesn't mean I have enough expertise in machine learning, a sub-discipline, to say definitively that the OP's idea about using full body scan data is feasible.

Should I have started my post "I am actually a computer scientist." No, right? That would be an appeal to authority that doesn't prove I know anything about what I'm talking about. Now, if the person had started with "I am a radiologist who has looked at empirical data about full body scans versus more selective scans." that would be a more useful and valid statement.
No, it didn't, unless it was a terrible definition. It isn't about charred skin, it's about the depth of the damage.
I second this. I exercise almost daily, and it makes a difference.

I do a combination of low-impact HIIT (because I can watch TV while I do it :-) ) and push-ups + laying garhammers (because they make me look hawt - abs, pecs & arms.)

This post’s replies are a joy to read, as someone who’s been finding and reporting bugs in wide color pipelines for over a decade. You all are encountering completely bog standard normal ICC issues with eyes wide open for the first time and it’s given me a lot of hope for the next five years.

App authors and OS builders have refused for a long time to make this a priority - I’m looking at you, Slack - and now finally with both iOS and Android moving forward, I really hope it’ll be enough to finally force them all to suck it up and implement proper ICC handling.
Put it this way: my doctor ordered a test for me, got the results, and made a recommendation. I was ignorant of both the costs (of all sorts) beforehand and of the product of probability and utility on which he (implicitly and unavoidably unless irrationally) based the decision. He did make a meaningful inference from this data, as anyone must to make a decision; he just refused to help me, as a consultant instead of a master, to make my own.
Gab offered a censored version for Apple, twitter does not, and twitter allows porn. Gab being banned was political choice by Apple, there was no reason to ban the censored version when they allow uncensored twitter/instagram/etc.

> And, if the tech cofounder is young, they are the Chief Architect, not the CTO.

This should probably be rephrased to refer to experience, not age.
> For example, detecting prostate cancer a few months earlier is often not a huge win on its own. It is even less of a success if doing so requires that four people have allergic reactions to the anesthetic and two others acquire some kind of infection at the biopsy site.

Then the doctor should recommend not attempting that type of detection.

I find it quite hard to believe that, in an ideal world (!), less data would actually be better. The doctor should still have the ability (at least in theory) to decide what information is worth investigating further, and what should be ignored.

According to the article the security flaw was just that the DB was not secured with any password. There could be a legitimate reason for that and it's not a flaw in the technology, so it's really not something AWS should be doing something about (other than maybe reaching out to the user to confirm that the lack of password is intended).

Honestly, I would be a little worried if AWS saw that a user had a DB with no password and decided to either add a password or block access to the DB without the user's consent.
Kudos - this is very much useful.

Not just older cities. I live in San Diego and we have exactly the same problem here. Can't swim or surf after the rain. Not exactly sure why it was done this way - maybe because it rains very rarely and they just did not design the sewage system to handle rare (but sometimes heavy) rains.
> if you're a mission- or social impact-oriented organization, a fair number of your potential hires are actively seeing a source of fulfillment in their work..."

I suppose, but I think there are a great number of Non-profits and Volunteer orgs who don't rely on lofty language in order to attract talent. I still think these things should fit the job expected to be carried out. Google and others have these kinds of messages in order to corner talent, but it's not necessary, Microsoft is just as capable and they do not resort to lofty flowery language to achieve their goals and they are no worse than Google for it (in either what they do or what they stand for).
Okay, so what Mr. Cook is going to do about it? He's one of the few people who is in a perfect position to actually make some change.

May be he's going to move Apple factories back from China to create more middle class jobs in the US?

May be he's willing to relocate the headquarters from Cupertino to a less crowded location? Come on, Mr. Cook, that would kill two birds with one stone: prices for SV houses will go a bit down and you'll be able to revive some dilapidated neighborhood. May I suggest Detroit, MI?

Or may be he wants to start small: just open a school in a poor SF community. Find decent teachers. Pay for the first class principal and give several hundred kids a good start in life.

No...?

I agree with you, but not every service asks you for that information. I don't really want them to ask it either, because I would probably have to register on every website I try to visit to get access to the content. On the other hand, I completely agree that the whole thing has gone overboard. They try to track way too much stuff.

If you’re trying to hide the content from someone who has access to the edit history, editing it is ineffective and simply shows that you wish for it to be hidden. When would this be an issue? In court.

It’s true that editing could serve to hide it from other users, but privacy settings could do that also.
> I think he definitely got his fair share of luck, but it's hard to negate that he has got some talent, no?

It's hard to tell. Maybe. But most orgs don't care if you're a so called 10xer - they still want you to grind for 40h/w to avoid other staff asking "why does bob get to play golf at lunchtimes everyday" if nothing else.

Geoff is a role model for me as an investor.

That's the cost of the operation you're performing, it has nothing to do with whether you're using the DOM or not. If you want the size of the element, someone has to perform layout - either the browser engine, or your virtual DOM.

The dimensions it was created with are in attributes and CSS. You can check those without causing layout. If you want to check the layout result, you have to perform layout. Virtual DOMs are not magic.

I've worked on browser engines. You misunderstand why parts of the DOM are and aren't slow, even if you understand Virtual DOMs. Property accessors (what was the 'width' attribute set to?) are easy to optimize and most of the obvious slow ones have been optimized by self-hosting to the point that they can be inlined.
On Willie Nelson and Side Projects
And, indeed, what studies are available seem to confirm this. Not just for private schools - charter schools also tend to underperform the public schools.

Granted, kids who go to them do tend to get better test scores, go to better universities, have more successful careers, etc. But that's because the whole education industry is a massive exercise in selection bias. The most careful studies I've seen, though, seem to indicate that, all other factors being equal, a typical kid is going to learn more in public school than in private or charter school.

This rather mirrors my own experience. I did 2 years of public high school, and 2 years of college prep. I can say that it's absolutely true that my classmates were generally smarter and more studious in the prep school. But the prep school was also easy. It really didn't particularly matter how much effort I put into my homework. As long as I didn't blatantly blow it off, my teachers would dutifully send my parents a report card full of the As and Bs they were paying for.

By contrast, it was the public schools where I had the teachers who'd keep ratcheting up their expectations until they could sense that I was actually working to try and get good grades on my papers.
My hunch from reading these comments is that the doctors tend to be experienced and pragmatic, and their experience teaches them what tests matter and when. The problem with this though is they start to believe those tests are useless when they might not be.

It becomes more complicated when you consider doctors have limited time and resources and cannot spend too much time with any single patient, at least the way the US healthcare system is designed. I believe this is a large contributing factor for why they behave the way they do - it's how the system is designed. And it's why I have all but given up on doctors even trying to help me with my bizarre symptoms, where I have been accused of lying multiple times.

I remember writing Rust in university a year before this was published. How far the language has come since then! The title should be updated to include the date.

The first koan strikes me as a timeless lesson about the advantages of the borrow checker. I came out of it feeling as if I had learned something, though it was really what I knew all along: it was one of the reasons I wrote rust.

The second felt tired. Of course OOP limits us to only objects!

The third I can see as a larger story about programming. As it applies to Rust? Perhaps it is saying that it is OK to crawl through the crack in the wall between the guards. Or it simply embodies the culture of Rust at the time - one of a massive group of people getting their hands dirty and getting shit done.

The fourth truly made me smile. Yes, its lesson about macros was correct - at least then. I doubt they have gotten much easier to use. However, they are useful to work with to get a feel for manipulating the raw syntax of the language. Writing some toys with them is sure to teach you a thing or two about using the language without them.

That's one of the most compelling arguments against school vouchers I've encountered. Especially as that is exactly what has happened in higher education where consumer choice is higher.
