Except with google it’s becoming impossible to find links from several years ago. Unless I remember exactly the right keywords and maybe the website name...

How is this FOMO? The entire point of bookmarks is “maybe I’ll come back later to this”. Bookmarks let you save content that you come across that may not be relevant at this time, but could be useful later. There is no penalty for saving pages because space is virtually unlimited, and we can only collect so many bookmarks anyway. Searching through bookmarks isn’t a difficult task, and it’s way better than relying on google.
The EU has a huge problem of people who have absolutely no idea what they're voting for. The cookie law was a very obvious example of that. The EU parliament is a mix of politicians who vote for what they want and ones who very obviously vote for whatever their party's or their corporate connections want. The moment any kind of technology is involved, the first group doesn't know what they want and so the second group can out-vote the crap out of them.

So yes, they have done a lot of good, but only in fields they understand. In fields they don't, however, they are a much too powerful weapon in the hands of (effectively) the highest bidder.
There is no way to insure that project planning goes smoothly and requirements are clearly expressed because those things are not under your control. To put it another way, your checklist is your checklist, not the client's. Besides, your goal as a consultant is not for the project to go smoothly, your goal is to get paid for dealing with the unsmoothness and unclarity. If dealing with those has adverse impact on your psychological well being, then long term success in customer relations may be difficult. Conversely, if the client is not able or unwilling to pay you for dealing with the risks of unsmoothness and unclarity, stay away. Good luck.

> Houston has pretty strict zoning laws

My understanding is that Houston does not have zoning laws. In fact from their newspaper:

> The city of Houston does not have zoning but development is governed by codes that address how property can be subdivided. The City codes do not address land use."

Houston is also the 4th largest city in the US and extremely diverse (not just in race), I imagine depending where you are in the city is whether or not you're more likely to see mostly healthy people or mostly unhealthy people

Space Team Retrospective
I ran a few cheap box fans with filters directly over them for several years and none of them failed, I have heard this claim a lot but it seems overstated. The triangle setup will significantly increase the airflow and thus the effectiveness of filtration though.

it's a contrived example to make the math easy. you can get the same outcome with more realistic values by putting the income closer to $40k and decreasing the gain, or you could do the analysis at a higher tax bracket boundary.

my point is that it doesn't make sense to naively tax gains as if they were income acquired in a single year. I'm not arguing for/against the specific implementation of cap gains we currently have.
apart from a handful of internal urls I regularly need at work, which I have as actual web browser bookmarks, I stopped using bookmarks to remember "sites of interest"

instead I've been using Microsoft OneNote

I can group the bookmarks in a few different ways (Notebooks > Sections > Pages > block within page) but more importantly I can write some notes about the link and why it is interesting and how it relates to other links in the same topic I've saved

the things I like about OneNote are: it's free, works ok, and syncs between macOS desktop app and Android app
I agree. I think the other dynamic that I've observed in these situations is that the technologists who oppose the big rewrite often sound like a wet blanket who are just opposed to the excitement. The old curmudgeons are just raining on the parade of excitement.

For some senior executives who are looking to generate passion and excitement the desire to endorse and support the big rewrite is just too much to resist.
> "I built ... my girlfriend a tool."

This also strikes me - After I live with my girlfriend for a while, I (or she surprisingly) found I have no interest in social media apps, discounts, traveling, eating tasty foods, mainstream movies/TV series...

Being immune to popular things is nice sometimes. But not being able to have empathy with most people is a great disadvantage for product development, since markets which are too niche mostly cannot easily afford rents or just don't worth it at all. It's much nicer to "build ... my girlfriend a tool" TBH.
Very apropos for me as I went to the doctor yesterday for increased anxiety about getting stuff done.

I was promoted to a team lead position in Autumn of 2019. Things went well, if hectic and stressful, for the first couple of months. But the slower period in December really did a number on my motivation and focus, and my anxiety kicked in big time.

Now I have a huge problem doing actual work, and so often get distracted into spending hours on technical, interesting tasks that aren't work related. It doesn't help that I have a million different interesting projects that I'd like to mess around with.

And the work to-do list gets longer, and longer. And my anxiety gets worse and worse.

I hope you find a solution to your issues. Good luck!
No Texas Roadhouse on Times Square, but there are 8 in the surrounding counties, e.g. at New Rochelle, Deer Park, and East Meadows, NY. It was founded in Indiana and is now headquartered in Louisville. There are a few hundred locations, and Texas Roadhouse bears the same relationship to Texas as Outback Steakhouse bears to Australia.
Amazon's claim that they can't do more against counterfeits than they are already doing now is bullshit.

Especially considering how effective they can ban customers for any ol' reason and make damn sure that said customer can't reopen the account, or open an account under a different name.

Amazon will do exactly shit, unless either the hammer of the law crashes down on them, unless it costs real money, or unless the publicity is so damning and visible that it hurts.
For what it’s worth:

I lived through just such a thing. It was a wonderful experience - head went light, everything suddenly breezy and far away, too fluffy to cogitate on anything. If my sister hadn’t been there I would have for sure passed, because I certainly wasn’t calling for help.

I imagined for a long time afterwards that that’s probably what heroin feels like, and why it’s so addictive. I was a little wrecked by the fact that the single most peaceful, pleasant experience I’d had in living memory was of dying.
If you think having something like pipenv or gcc in your image is a "perfect way" of doing things, you're sorely mistaken.

Neither of those are needed. Use multi stage docker files to avoid such unnecessary and potentially dangerous dependencies.

In addition, why do you need to disable byte code writing? You're unnecessarily disabling optimizations done by python.
You vote every time you decide to buy or not to buy.
No need for a time machine (or being snarky - I did say it's just for comparison, didn't I? I think it does put the "very high pressure" into perspective)

That said, your time machine idea could be simply implemented with a large, airtight box. Simply put the filter over it and weather changes will push and pull air through the filter with two orders of magnitude more pressure than this little fan. Volume of filtered air will depend on the volume of the box though, so better get a large one.

>>In practice, the US has already demonstrated that its primary airpower projection is via unmanned systems, the manned combat aircraft is the mounted cavalry c. 1920.

1. The US hasn't had to overcome a first-rate Integrated Air Defense System since the 1970s. UAVs, while hard to detect due to their small RCS, have extremely poor overall survivability. It's part of what makes them so cheap.

2. The US is rarely flying drones against an adversary with robust Electronic Attack capabilities. They're pretty useless if their datalinks to their Ground Control Station are jammed and you don't have HARMs on-hand to suppress/neutralize/destroy the jamming source.

3. The future of air power is likely to be a mix of manned fighters with UAVs as wingmen or forward-deployed scouts/sensor platforms, and then further in the rear big (manned) "bombers" with deep magazines throwing missiles into the fight from far away, handing off target tracking to the manned fighter. Even something like an F-15 Strike Eagle or a Su-34 could fulfill that latter role with the right electronics suite and ordnance upgrades...

How Julia Is Better Than Python
It was a last minute thing. My girlfriend wanted me to swing by to attend her friend's wedding.
You can take the word 'blame' out of it, but an investigation still has to find the causes of an accident, and if it involved an action, inaction or delayed action by a pilot, the inquiry should consider whether most pilots would have done the same. There are equivalent issues for the equipment.

The issue here is not anything technical, but Boeing's alleged pressure on the inquiry. I say alleged, because Boeing should be allowed to, and in fact should be expected to provide a fact-based analysis of the accident. It is ultimately for the investigators and regulators to decide if it is being tendentious and/or manipulative.

I used this extensively for code assignments in university, but for a different reason. We had to do most things in C, which can be very painful for prototyping and experimenting with new approaches. So I would solve the problem first in Python, try different approaches, and then after I was happy with the solution I'd write it again in C. Saved me a lot of time in the end.

A single Senator has no power. And, as the rest of the threat makes clear, this change does not allow anyone to save any sort of relevant money.

These everyone-is-corrupt-takes may (sometimes) make you look oh so smart, cynical, and contrarian. And I'm over asking people to bring evidence when accusing others.

But at least reserve them for the times where the scheme makes some sort of sense in theory.

The problem, otherwise, is that it stops making sense for politicians to be honest. Because why bother, when everyone is going to yell "liar" or "kill the corrupt bastard" at you, completely independent of any actual things you did?
Tell me how I can choose to avoid buying fungible commodities from a particular source: suppose I want to avoid oil from BP because I disapprove of their handling of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Avoiding BP-branded filling stations doesn't actually mean I'm not buying oil that came from BP. Or suppose I want to avoid wheat from Archer Daniels Midland, or crops sprayed with Monsanto products. The idea that capitalism provides meaningful choice is a joke.

-> most EMR software is a billing system with record keeping attached

not really. Maybe that's how they started, but that's not what they have evolved into.

-> the software is always purchased by administrators, typically with little input from doctors.

again, maybe that's how it used to happen but anywhere that I've worked or consulted on has a myriad of doctors, nurses, etc that have input. The last hospital I worked for wouldn't even let us change a single field in the EMR without it being approved by a committee of nurses.

-> In most implementations, neither Cerner not Epic encourage structured data recording except for billing codes.

This is not true at all. In fact, it is the clinicians' preference to write or dictate notes that is the reason for this. Both Epic and Cerner provide digital forms that allow for selections from lists or checkboxes which are then stored as discrete data elements in their respective databases. I'm not going to say either are perfect and - surprise! - clinicians hate change so they always hate their EMR, but it's not for the reasons you state.

I'm curious which division of Google you work for and how much experience you have working for an EMR vendor or healthcare system.

> Not sure why you're being downvoted

I find that people on Hacker News tend to downvote any kind of short comments. When I came across this thread, it was empty and I didn't like seeing an empty thread, so I wanted to say something to break the ice. (At this point, the post has 18 points, so clearly cooler heads prevailed.)

My wife tells stories about seeing her father suddenly start sobbing when she came across items that her parents bought for their first pregnancy.

Later, when we had a miscarriage, (fortunately very early,) my boss told me about his. Even though we were on the phone, I could tell he was holding back tears.

Thankfully we haven't had serious fertility problems. What helped in our case was, throughout my life, hearing about my parents' miscarriage, sister's miscarriage, cousin's miscarriage. I knew it was normal.

I’m not familiar with euthanasia in humans. In animals, phenobarbital is used, not morphine.

In humans,
Morphine is used when withdrawing a ventilator. It’s not used to kill the patient. Morphine is very effective at quelling what we call “air hunger”, which is incredibly uncomfortable for the patient (if they can still feel it), and the family (because it sounds like the patient is gasping for air.)

Not too long ago I finally gave podcasts a try. For a while I was hooked. Most importantly, in Spotify it was trivially easy to increase the speed from 1x to 1.25x and 1.5x. After a while, for certain sections I could listen at 2x and still understand everything, and it was much more engaging! As long as I could control the playback speed, I think I could get into audio books, too (though I haven't yet. My commute is short...)

So a type system using macros, I assume this would enforce types at compile time and not runtime? I don't really see the value of type checking at runtime; I won't catch type errors until after the system is deployed! Would like to hear others opinions because people are really excited about clojure.spec. I just feel like it adds additional overhead for... slightly improved error messages? I could see the value in a type system for Lisps/Clojure that happens at compile time, it's very helpful in Haskell.

I love audiobooks for forcing me to keep going through material. I’ll reread sections often in print. Not being able to do so as easily with audiobooks helps me by keeping me going through material. Sometimes it’s the difference between having a “click” and not. Or keeps me going when my attention might otherwise slip by reading too much into something that’s not there.

If it feels like audiobooks aren’t having an impact on you then I’d suggest trying to relisten to them and not treat them as a once-through.

Ask HN: Best practices for a machine learning scoring pipeline?
I have 500+ models predicting various things and a massive database of over 400m+ individuals and about 5,000 possible independent variables.

Currently, my scoring process takes about 5 days, and operates by chunking up the 400m+ records into 100k-person pieces and spinning up n-number of threads, each with a particular subset of the 500+ models, and running this way until all records are scored for all models. Each thread is a Python process which submits R code (i.e. loads an R `.rds` model and associated dataset transformation logic).

This process takes way too long, is severely error-prone (more of an indicator of the tangled web of code it's become), is expensive (massive cloud instance required), and only allows for models to be built in R (I want to basically be agnostic of the language from which the model is coming, but mainly I want to enable Python and R – that is a non-negotiable requirement).

Does anyone with experience in a similar problem domain have any advice re: how this process could be re-architected to 1) run more efficiently (from a $ PoV) and 2) enable both Python and R models.

The "whether most pilots would have done the same" is probably where I see the biggest differences between this and the MCAS incidents.

Incentive isn't a yes or no thing, it's a scale. The more you tax saving relative to spending, the more you encourage people to spend.
