> stick with your standard Tollhouse recipe, but let the dough sit in the fridge for a day or two

About 18 hours seems to be optimal (for me!) As well as letting the dough rest at least an hour to get closer to room temp before spooning to the baking sheet.

What is never talked about when analyzing a good tollhouse cookie is the underside pattern. There should be a 1/8"-1/4" noticeable line around the bottom of the outer edge. This is the fault line of where the base of the cookie starts to solidify from baking and the subsequent spreading action of the dough past this point in time, which 'rolls over' this fault line. This metric can tell you a lot regarding whether your dough has too much butter, too much sugar, too cold, too warm, too whipped during the creaming stage, too mixed after adding flour, oven temp, cooking time, baking surface, etc. Once you start getting anal-ytical about your 'process', this one metric is an easy visual that can pinpoint what went wrong or how to improve when you start controlling for variables. The tollhouse recipe is nearly the perfect set of ingredients but you can get a wide range of results just on process alone yet most people go straight to tinkering with the ingredient list to improve. Resist.
Agreed. I'm in my 50's and even back in the late 70's in Scotland you'd hear folks use "secondary school" and "high school" interchangeably. I myself went to a Scottish "High School" for my secondary education in the 70's/80's.

Toyota took all of the good ideas they found in American companies (most specifically Ford) in the 1950s and added continuous improvement. Then they actually iterated with continuous improvement.

So I don't think it's fair to say that any of the ideas are outright stolen (I know you didn't say that either), because Toyota took them well past the starting point.

This same algorithm could be applied in three dimensions (X, Y, time) such that the seam connects along adjacent pixels through time as well as the Y axis. The seam here would be a 2D plane, rather than a 1D line as it is for a single image.

If you visualize a video as a stack of frames, then the seam would cut through the stack, like cutting a cake with a knife, following the minimum-energy path through the stack.

You'd do this by modifying the recurrence relation to add a term for the energy of pixels in the previous frame as well as the previous line in the current frame.
The first version worked exactly as you proposed. The UX however was meh. You'd place a monthly limit on your ad (outbidding) spend (eg. $2) and it ended up outbidding only some of the ads: those served by Google which were also outbid by your amount.

So from a user's perspective it didn't fully work. Also the ad space wasn't fully removed (perhaps due to technical reasons) but was replaced with a blank image. It also didn't catch on much.

So they tried to pivot and now the program works with certain cooperating websites to fully get rid of all ads but I'm sure bigger websites would rather be in total control of monetizing themselves and can spend on the necessary IT infra. similar to most online newspapers these days.

I think an advertiser (eg. a legal firm) might be willing to pay eg. $10 per ad impression but no user is willing to outbid it so I think the first model (outbid in the auction) is more sustainable and profitable for both parties but needs to have all ad exchanges on board.

So in short, it's been tried but wasn't an instant (or even a slow) success and idk whether Google will continue investing in it or not.
Welcome to requirements and data model hell.

Which target audience did you have in mind?

Primarily Doctor/Nurse/Practitioner centric?

Primarily Administrative (Practice-as-a-whole) centric?

Insurance centric/integrated with insurance systems/standards?

The trickiest part about it all that I've found, is that at the end of the day, practitioners tend to only need a few pages or so worth of notes, but most modern, proprietary alternatives tend to morph into gigantic, data vacuums actually intended for somebody's (generally an insurance company's) data analytics department.

Which don't get me wrong; I realize that was the point behind EHR; greater interoperability and communicability of health records between disparate systems.

For most proprietary offerings, I believe the value is that your vendor whips up and manages the data model and infrastructure for you (or offers a reasonable template); and will typically integrate some sort of rules engine because why not.

To be honest though, I'd absolutely love to figure out how to implement a suite of tools to make EHR easy for practitioners, plus maybe an application with sufficient and accessible enough documentation so that a sufficiently savvy practitioner would be able to out of the box basically have a good digital SOAP note-book, and could overtime build up the data they want to track in a logical, but user (not necessarily developer friendly) manner.

Basically, something as accessible as making a .dot template for printing out, or filling out blank SOAP notes forms for entry in a binder, but also having enough back-end where if need be, that data can have ETL's cobbled together for migration. Plus all the HIPAA goodness.

Unfortunately; I don't know as the market would see much uptake in the U.S. since the insurance industry kind of wags the rest of the medical industry's data collection practices due to how tightly integrated/dependent the healthcare industry is with the health insurance industry.

The centralization increases visibility of a lot of problems; however, everyone pays the price with requirements implication chain becoming longer than the amount of wire between you and the insurer.

The expectation of a single flip is 'positive' ( > 1 ), the expectation of n flips is 'negative' ( < 1).

My layman reading of this is that this 'appears' to be a violation of martingale theory because this 'should' be a sub-martingale but martingale theory requires finite variance so I suspect the variance of this must go infinite as n tends to infinity?

I was recently thinking about an open search protocol with some federation elements in two parts. A frontend and an indexer. The idea is that anyone can run his own search frontend or use a community hosted one (like Matrix). And then each frontend has X amount of indexers configured.

Each indexer is responsible for a small part of the web and by adding indexers you can increase your personal search area. And there is some web of trust going on.

Entities like stackoverflow and Wikipedia and reddit could host their own domain specific indexers. Others could be crowdsourced with browser extensions or custom crawlers and maybe some people want to have their own indexer that they curate and want to share with the world.

It will never cover the utility and breadth of Google Search but with enough adoption this could be a nice first search engine. With DDG inspired bang commands in the frontend you could easily retry a search on Google.

With another set of colon commands you can limit a search to one specific indexer.

The big part I am unsure about in this setup is how a frontend would choose which indexers to use for a specific query. Obviously sending each query to each indexer will not scale very well.
If you look at usage patterns, social media has replaced search engines for many use cases.

For example, if you want to know where to eat tonight, instead of searching "restaurants near me" you might ask your friends "where should I eat tonight" and get personalized suggestions.

Ask HN: Whats your opinion on pulumi as a DevOps?
Im considering switching from Terraform to Pulumi for our infrastructure, but I would like to hear from people who already use it for some time what you found are the pros and cons in comparison to simply using Terraform.

Im planning to move a pretty big Infrastructure that consists of alot of services from AWS. Ps. It is not a serverless infrastructure tho it uses lambdas for some things. Around few thousends instances deployed in asgs + monitoring and some extras.

Does anyone has an expirience with similar migration to pulumi and what were the possible issues ? I would like to hear your opinion.
Not necessarily: Physical memory and virtually addressable memory are two different things. See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension. Not sure how that works on the Pi though.
The seventies was indeed chaos on many levels. Know why? The 1973 oil crisis. Most everything else of the dysfunctional, high inflation seventies stemmed from that. I remember once getting 15% on a savings account! Below inflation, of course.

Too much union power, and their political aspiration aggravated that rather than caused it. As the economy faltered they continued to seek above inflation pay rises driving inflation higher. Strikes could have one industry supporting another via sympathetic strikes. Until the oil crisis and rest of the seventies it hadn't mattered much, and no one much cared that some union had elected an extremist. The chaos that led to Thatcher and Reagan being necessary came from 73.

None of this related in the slightest to the many community, but not communist, town clubs, amenities, work social clubs, social care and countless other things that died or deformed in the reforms. Which helped push to the little or no community we see today. Thatcher once said something like "there's no such thing as society, just individuals".

Which is why I think the early changes were helpful, especially putting some constraint on unions, but not neutering them completely. The other 30 odd years of going in the same direction have been as damaging as those long fixed seventies problems, so I haven't been especially surprised at the global crises of mental health, loneliness and isolation we've ended up with.

Markets are most certainly top down. Markets don't exist without the nation state because they rely on nation state technology like money. In fact markets are explicitly created by governments.

Even within a market there is top down planning. What gets produced is decided by makers who use the feedback of the market to change what they make. The consumers usually have no say about what gets made and how it's made outside the narrow, low information way of the spot trade.

In othet words, people would not have created markets sans their explicit imposition by states. They are not a bottom up structure because no sane person would participate in them if they didn't have to.

Prior to markets were webs of debt relations. See 'Debt the first 5000 years' by David Graeber.

This is a really interesting point. Even though we should test our assumptions about the reasons for the price increase here against Hanlon's razor [1], it's very easy to _feel_ that we're being taken advantage of, and emotions matter a lot in purchasing decisions.

A savvy competitor might be able to take advantage of this kind of pricing clumsiness. (For example, I recently bought a new car from a "no haggle" dealer for pretty similar reasons... Working with traditional dealers in the U.S. is a very painful experience for many.)

The really hard part of this to scale is the quality metric. Google was the first to really scale quality measurement by outsourcing it to the web content creators themselves.

That's possible, but this area of archeology is still undergoing a lot of change in understanding. Göbekli Tepe is a recent example of organization around (presumed) religious lines without writing or math (maybe)[0]. The farming systems of the Egyptians were largely preformed by illiterate peoples with some wirting and math in the priestly classes and aristocracy [1]. The Inca used a very different system of combined writing and math in their quipu [2]. The quipu are still nearly undecipherable today and may have been just memory aides and not a true writing system at all.

In the end, there are very good arguments against the necessity of writing and math for 'civilization' to occur. It's a very active field still.

I had a similar reaction to you. People seem to have very limited imaginations when thinking about the types of things that could exist. Or maybe the title is incomplete. Maybe the paper is saying something more like, "Could life exist in a plane that otherwise has the same or very similar physics and chemistry as the universe?" In which case I could understand the skepticism about life's existence.

While I agree semantically use of <button> can be clearer, clickable divs can still play largely fine with most accessibility technologies if ARIA attributes are used.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology

> Arcology, a portmanteau of "architecture" and "ecology", is a field of creating architectural design principles for very densely populated, ecologically low-impact human habitats.

> The term was coined in 1969 by architect Paolo Soleri, who believed that a completed arcology would provide space for a variety of residential, commercial, and agricultural facilities while minimizing individual human environmental impact. These structures have been largely hypothetical, as no arcology, even one envisioned by Soleri himself, has yet been built.

So far the earlier versions of DisplayPort have worked quite well as a USB-C alt mode so I am hopeful.

I strongly disagree that higher resolutions are not interesting on smaller sized displays. I personally find 21.5 inch to be the sweet spot for 4K and welcome the better support for higher resolution so displays in the 24-30 inch range can more easily support 220+dpi, higher refresh rates, and HDR.
