Other way around, robots are a way to get around the consequences of bad management while the managers keep their jobs. Was middle management slashed too when the robots were rolled out?
I don't think they're getting phased out. They're very hard to beat in their perf/watt gate count niche. Those little TI DSPs are everywhere.
Could not agree more! As someone who works as a contractor for two relatively large RHIOs I was absolutely dumbfounded by how contradictory everything is when I first started. I’m in a unique position where I get to interact with dozens of EMR/EHR vendors. They’re all terrible.
I'm sure you can find bad and annoying people in any group. I have no way of knowing whether your story is representative at all.
Excellent, thanks for the suggestion. I hadn’t heard of this lib until now. And, seeing that this is developed by Citus makes it automatically 10x better.
Ah, I wonder if this is why Google Hangouts is so awful on my 2015 MBP.

Didn't confuse them, LORRI is basically a camera at the end of a long telescope, hence it gives higher resolution images.

But yeah, going over the files at the time this MVIC image was generated, LORRI took a few (very) close up images but it doesn't have any one having such a large field of view (since MVIC is not as magnified, then it's able to take such widefield images).

Edit: And after a lot of searching, I found the image: nh-p-mvic-3-pluto-v3.0/data/20150714_029918/mp2_0299181722_0x530_sci.fit.

By the way, I'm glad you threw me into this search. Having found this specific image gave me a few good ideas to work over them again, with new things I've learned since the last times I visited them.
Sure, so one should also be able to solely speak French everywhere in this BILINGUAL country? Give me a break.
I believe there is also an aspect of food spoiling if you keep it in your inventory for too long too, along with stats for protein, carbs, etc.

> But this case does not support it.

Seems to me it supports it. This was a product that seemed safe, no testing needed, just like "not tested on animals" products - the ingredients are probably safe, no need to test.

Except that in the particular way it was used here, it wasn't safe.

To lead back to cosmetics: What if a particular mixture of two otherwise harmless ingredients is toxic? What if an ingredient is thought safe, but next to the eye is actually not safe?

Or for food additives, thought safe - except if used in an acidic food, or heated, or mixed with some other additive?
Yes well it's been in working draft for about 7 years, and I'm pretty sure the holdup on finalizing the draft is on the Mozilla side.

If there Germans managed to support themselves on 100% renewable energy I wouldn't say they needed to go nuclear again. As it is the Germans rely on more than 50% dirty energy which is polluting all of northern Europe and people ARE dying because of it.

So, sure there are dangers with nuclear power if there's an accident. Ideally there shouldn't be, historically there has been a few (seven with fatal outcomes to be exact)[1]. Still with modern reactors that shutdown instead of melting down we should be able to safely handle virtually any accident. With burning fossil fuels the deaths are not _if_ there's an accident, they are a _consequence_ of polluting the air. And the 800000 annual deaths caused by coal burning doesn't even include deaths due to global warming [2].

With all the research coming out about gut bacteria's ties to pretty much everything, this makes me wonder if other supposedly innocuous ingredients could have an effect we didn't notice before, and in adults too.
Actually they didn't. Even before renewables, excessive energy production had to be taken care of. In Belgium, all highways got street lights to use up the excessive nuclear energy at night. In many places, electricity was promoted for heating at night.

The article is more about Roblox (whatever that is) than Minecraft. Title kinda misleading.
Maybe I should have clarified: the RE650 is marketed as a repeater but it has an ethernet port and can be used as a simple access point.
In case people missed this:

"The rumor, and I mean rumor, was that there may have been 2008 Mac Pro's sold with a different Airport card than most had"

Which if true meant that Apple could have been subject to class action if they stated that the feature was available for 2008 models.
I've also found that people tend to underestimate the development tools Roblox gives. There are games on Roblox that have external web APIs for managing servers, games that circumvent the standard "player model" and instead opt for an entirely different appearance, games that make use of the GUI tools given in meticulous ways...

Roblox does a fantastic job at giving creative young minds an opportunity to expand on their ideas — something very few other "games" accomplish.
Channels aren't a way to avoid mutexes/locking, they are just meant to be simpler to write & reason about. Channels are implemented using mutexes under the hood.

I really like the perspective provided by the General systems thinking [0]:

There are problems with little randomness and number of moving parts: these problems are either easy to reason about, or easy to solve by analytical means (think of systems that can be reduced to few equations).

Then, there are problems with either/both: large number of elements and high degree of randomness. These problems can be dealt with statistics.

Then there is a ball of mud between - medium number of elements/randomness. The number of interactions is too high to be able to reason about them effectively, yet too little to derive solution by statistical means.

Most of the software, especially poorly written one falls in this realm- the more interactions between elements, the harder to reason about. Mastering algorithmic wizardry just moves you slightly right on this plot- being able to decrease the number of interactions makes the system easier to reason about [1]

This looks interesting. I work on a project to help convert articles into printable PDFs. Created a video a few years ago showing how CSS can be used to control columns based on paper size and orientation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=854Csokl3QA

Hmmh, wasn't there another article like this some time back that cited clear writing (of prose/email/documentation) as the most important programmer skill, especially if one wants to ascend to the highest ranks of an organization?

In the discussion thread, I believe one of HN's elder statesmen (ChuckMcM?) quoted a Nobel prize-winning physicist who said "clear writing in English" was more important to his career than math.
You're missing the point here. I have created an electron app that renders reports via json and svelte. They are intended for print not the web and the easiest way to get the data printed was using the browser engine which gladly outputs to PDF. However, styling these pages would be a lot easier with better page support in CSS. Or at least better support of those CSS specs. I really look forward to having these polyfills. Using paged media is in a lot of contexts easier than latex. Especially when it comes to dynamic content.
Yes it is. The point is _not_ about driving Anglos (or whatever culture) away, but about being proud of being able to communicate in French. As a matter of fact, exactly the same thing English speakers ask to literally the rest of the world.

Edit: and, of course, this does not apply to tourists or visitors. This point is about people who want to live in Quebec.
People need to stop hating on fax. Hospitals still use fax because it is a much more punishable crime to tap phone lines which requires physical access, as opposed to a server that could be infected from a hacker halfway across the world.
What game play..?
Not OP but I can tell you that due to the object size limitations of FHIR objects, document exchange is just not feasible. Using FHIR to register a patient is pretty pointless currently as every older and larger hospital sends HL7v2.

RHIOs building gateways for 3rd party apps is very much the future of FHIR. But they’ll still be interacting with that crufty legacy system.

Just my own two cents.
I'm not sure what you mean. Comments are for explaining code that IS there.
If there is one thing decades of experience has taught us about C, it is that the language is not naturally well-suited to safe and reliable buffer management.

This means that if you are coding C and using buffers, good code will necessarily look and feel unnatural. You should be deeply suspicious of any code you find managing buffer contents that has nothing awkward-looking. Managing buffers correctly in C takes far above average care and attention. That care needs to leave tracks to show it happened, and to remind subsequent maintainers to exercise it too.
Yup, we would never had gotten nuclear power if it wasn't for the massive subsidies from the governments, the electric companies didn't want it. I wonder if Mr. Wang has added those subsidies into the equation.

> decommissioning doesn't necessarily means dismantling

That's kinda missing the point, the fact is that France's nuclear fleet is heavily underfunded by at least 50 billion Euro [0].

These are exactly the kind of costs regularly externalized or completely omitted when calculating the profitability of nuclear vs renewables [1].

'Bring back the replaceable laptop battery'
I switched to Firefox when Chrome stopped working with drag-and-drop for files. It's a PITA to use tools like Google Drive without working drag and drop. Since then, I've been pleasantly surprised by Firefox Developer Edition's dev tools, and compatibility. So much innovation has been driven by the browser... hats off to Mozilla for persevering in being option b for so long.
> Exactly this. It's just as Joel Spolsky wrote in that fifteen-year-old article that hit the front page yesterday: exceptions are an invisible goto.

Exception semantics are well-defined. Exceptions clean up the stack, unlike longjmp and such, and in C++, you can mark which functions throw and which ones don't. When you write Rust code using Result everywhere and propagate all errors using "?", you end up with code that looks just like code that uses exceptions, but with extra syntax noise and decreased efficiency due to the need for runtime branching instead of exception dispatch tables.

When you call a Rust function that can fail, do you carefully think through all the various failure paths and reason about everything from scratch? No. You call a function. The compiler complains, you insert a "?", and the compiler stops complaining. You don't reason about all possible errors, and you shouldn't have to reason about all possible errors. Exceptions free program logic on the common path from the mental overhead of the error path, and that's a good thing.

Languages that start off boldly exception-free, like Rust and Go, end up reinventing the try/catch model because it turns out that exceptions are actually incredibly useful. As long as exceptions have been around, people have claimed that they've made code hard to follow. I reject these claims. They're just not consistent with my experience.

In my experience, it's not difficult at all to understand control flow in exceptional systems, and there are many large C++ systems that you probably use all the time that work with exceptions without major problems. It's the weirdest thing: people who claim that exceptions make C++ unusable on Monday go on to write some Java or Python in Tuesday and don't seem to have immense cognitive difficulty in these languages. That you should avoid exceptions in C++ is obsolete conventional thinking from the 1990s era of bad compilers.
It's basically a 16 bit arch. 8 bit registers, but they can be paired pretty easily and uniformly across the ISA

MSP430 is probably the best supported 16 bit arch for Rust.
A running group acquaintance in Palo Alto worked at Stanford doing such entirely depraved dog experiments, making them sick, ostensibly to test treatments, but really to just secure funding for Stanford.

It may not have been that high, but I remember being surprised by how much higher than physiological temperature.

The FDA is doing a great job keeping the public informed.

https://www.fda.gov/drugs/drug-safety-and-availability/fda-u...

Check out the 10/2 update with regards to temperature. Here is the relevant part:

FDA observed the testing method used by a third-party laboratory uses higher temperatures. The higher temperatures generated very high levels of NDMA from ranitidine products because of the test procedure. FDA published the method for testing angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) for nitrosamine impurities. That method is not suitable for testing ranitidine because heating the sample generates NDMA.

To Valisure’s credit they are posting their data.

https://www.valisure.com/wp-content/uploads/Attachment-B-GC-...

However, they are using GC/MS, which typically had pre-column temperatures of >150C (since all analyses need to be in the gas phase). Plenty of drugs decompose at those temperatures. That’s why the FDA doesn’t recommend it.
> the 757s are incredibly inefficient aircraft

Ironic considering the genesis of the 757 was a new wing and new engines that produced a 35% improvement on fuel efficiency over the 727 it replaced.
trying to skip to that point is also counterproductive.

there is lasting damage from prior behavior and many people are inspired by the SEO of mentioning the those adjectives such as African American or female. Otherwise the audience really wouldn't see it and wouldn't know.

its just SEO.

if mentioning that someone productive or accomplished was also black or a woman is not a search engine optimization for you then just ignore it because it wasn't for you.

From what I understand, a lot of that is due to a combination of factors from bugs and spaghetti code from prior to purchase, to the necessity to not change too much too quickly, which might cause a community uproar, to simply just trying to recoup the cost of the IP purchase in the first place by developing projects around the IP, which the main game (java edition) doesn't see any progress from.

Much of the popularity of the game has a lot to do with the modding community as well, which is where you go when simply building in the vanilla game is no longer interesting. Any change to the vanilla game can have major ripple effects on the modding community.

Lastly, I'd say that one huge development they recently fixed in the code base was the block ID limit. Now that the ID system is name based rather than number based with a hard coded limit, the number of blocks that can be added to the game isn't limited by anything other than the direction of the creative team and new mechanics.
Oh definitely but that was almost 40 years ago (launched in 1981, designed even earlier). Progress is a wonderful thing!
I work in financial services as a statistical model developer and we usually go through extensive legal review before we can use a model for a specific application. We always avoid using less controversial demographics (e.g. customer tenure as a surrogate for age) before we build models for less legally risky endeavors like marketing because of Fair Lending laws. It concerns me that gender made it into a credit risk model which have an even higher standard for legal oversight where I'm at. Fingers crossed that this is only a rare oversight on Goldman Sachs part.

Scientists Got Climate Change So Wrong
> Holy Moly, this Polar thing looks amazing! And it’s open source too!! I was definitely not expecting that when I followed the link nor when I started reading about it.

Thanks... 2.0 should come out next week too so it's going to be interesting to see how the community responds.

Here's more on the release:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PolarBookshelf/comments/du68gf/plan...

The browser version is almost on par in terms of features with the desktop version. The main features that we're missing in the web version are offline support (which will be resolved soon), support for syncing with Anki, and web capture.

We're working on porting web capture to completely run within the web extension though. I think the web version should be completely on par with the desktop/web version in the next month or so.

Also, it's really not THAT much of a resource hit. On my machine it burns like 100MB or RAM and say 300MB of disk space.
> I asked for an objective definition of what over-commenting would be.

I don't think what you're asking for is possible. It's an inherently subjective standard.

If an objective definition were possible, then it'd be possible to write a static analysis tool that reads both your code and the comments and flags "over-commenting on line 23, under-commenting on line 457". That could be done with sufficiently advanced AI, but at that point it would just be the subjective opinion of the tool's author being enforced.
This poster is braver than me. They're almost certainly identifiable based on the projects they worked on, and they admit to insubordination at best and industrial sabotage/CFAA violations at worst. Not that I agree with that interpretation, but if it were me I wouldn't have mentioned the bit about sharing a hack on Mediafire.
On the different meanings of consistency in the CAP theorem and ACID transaction
I suspect CD ROMs used CAV (in contrast to audio CDs which used CLV) because the processors (perhaps originally based off audio processors) could intially only deal with a fixed data rate, and with CLV + random access, the drive would have to spin up and down repeatedly according to where on the disk the laser had seeked to, which would have a large impact on random access times. As the speed of drives got faster and faster (up to 52x) that problem wouldve been exacerbated too.

I see you point in theory, but as a victim of identity theft, from what I can see almost none of these are enforced punishments. From what I experienced and from what I've seen friends experience in the US:
- Someone can steal money in your bank account
- Sign up for an expensive phone plan and get a $1000 iPhone upfront
- Use your healthcare benefits

And you basically file a police report, hardly anyone cares, and you are left with a bunch of paperwork to go fix it yourself. You get the money back eventually with plenty of paperwork.

At which point do thieves committing all sorts of punishable crimes actually get punished? In my case, the person signed up for a line of credit at Lowes, purchased 20k of construction goods, presumable all in a videotaped store and got off scott free.
A landfill will do just fine [0]:

"In an effort to reduce costs, the Energy Department developed a plan to ship nearly 75 percent of the fissile materials in Building 3019, as is, to a landfill at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site by the end of 2014. Because such disposal would violate the agency’s formal safeguards and radioactive waste disposal requirements, the Energy Department changed those rules, which it can do without public notification or comment. Never before has the agency or its predecessors taken steps to deliberately dump a large amount of highly concentrated fissile material in a landfill, an action that violates international standards and norms."
