Elation Health | Software Engineer | REMOTE | https://elationhealth.com

At Elation we make tools for physicians and their patients that improve the efficiency and fidelity of their relationship, and help to make the delivery of excellent, proactive healthcare possible. We have various openings across the rest of the organization which you can see here: https://www.elationhealth.com/careers/ but specifically I'm focused on growing our engineering team with frontend ReactJS experienced folks. Right now is a particularly challenging time for our healthcare systems and providers -- Elation offers an opportunity to work and innovate in support of those providers and their patients.

Elation is headquartered in San Francisco (though remote for at least the rest of 2020), and our engineering team is distributed across PST-EST timezones.

Tech stack is AWS/Python/Django/MySQL/ReactJS. We have a great team full of people that really value working closely with product, customer-experience, and users. Lots of interesting problems to solve!

Apply on the website if interested, and feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or are curious! You can reach out to me directly at phill.tornroth@elationhealth.com
If the TVA is anything like the state level government I'm familiar with the answer is likely "the former salaries of politically appointed middle managers who can be sacked now that the CEO is gone and who's roles will not be back-filled". Depending on the union situation (union roles vs non-union job roles) that might not be possible though.
> Worse, many of the new language features can't be properly implemented because they would break someone else's C++.

And yet, I understand where the baggage comes from. My favorite language when I was young, Python, went through a decade of stagnation because programmers couldn't be hassled to write print('hello') instead of print 'hello'. It's frustrating, but almost all languages gather baggage over time.
The whole "flatten the curve" messaging always seemed like we were barreling toward a misunderstanding, and I think this comment and the disagreeing downvotes are a perfect example of that.

Back when US public health messaging really went all-in on that phrase it was like late February when we thought the transmission level was minimal. "Flattening" the curve at a minimal level would have been fine, and if we got the reproduction rate even just barely below 1 the infection would have died out.

Flattening the curve when there are 10,000 people dying a week is a very different situation, and I don't think ending up there was ever explicitly anyone's goal (except for famously Sweden). But that's what we finally ended up achieving in April, and everyone basically patted themselves on the back for it and started treating the pandemic as over. It should have been very clear to anybody paying even a little bit of attention that once we started approaching and then surpassed "running out of ICU beds"-level of crisis in some places, that flattening the curve anywhere near that level would not be good, and when we did start to plateau at only like 30% down from the peaks we were nowhere near in the clear. But for whatever reason we just ignored that inconvenient fact and acted as if our lockdown had worked. After all, we had "flattened the curve".

Obviously the world is quite complicated and this is impossible to predict, but I genuinely wonder what would have happened if a more ambitious catchphrase had caught on instead like "zero out the curve". It's well-known that laypersons are naturally bad at reasoning about exponential growth, but I also think the public health "experts" really let us down as well in their failure to properly account for the exponential growth as well.

You say this as if you have complete control over your thoughts and the content of your sub conscious mind, which you don’t...

Half the battle of accomplishing anything in life is priming your subconscious mind with the right line of thinking for the task at hand. If you reframe it that way this is fantastic advice.

Edit: I might also add your subconscious mind could very well be considered a separate entity considering it exists out of the full range of your conscious brains influence.
Apparently in the US there are about: 7M fly fishers [1], 9M skiers + snowboarders [2], about 3.2M SCUBA divers [3], 14M "active camping households" (3 or more times in a year) [4], and 48M hikers [5]. To pull a few outdoor activities, because I was curious.

Fly fishing feels more like bird-watching to me though: in that it's relatively easy and cheap to do, but not a thing you would ever do accidentally.

It's not a "white audience", it's a white audience whose identity hinges on white supremacy.
I think the administration is solving the wrong problem here. If the TVA is using H1B just to save money, then they are violating the H1B program.

The administration should be cracking down on H1B violations.

There are no "microdroplets" which stay in the air for "30+" minutes.

First, water DRIES OUT unless the humidity is very close to 100% which is relatively rare in western countries. The smaller droplet the faster this happens.

Put a very, very small droplet on a flat surface like glass. Observe it disappear within couple of minutes. Then imagine that a smaller droplet is just larger droplet closer to drying out.

Volume increases with cube while surface with square of diameter. When the droplet gets smaller the drying out speeds up.

The only time there are persistent droplets of water in air is called fog and happens when air is supersaturated with water. This happens when you cool air that is already 100% humidity. In that circumstance water cannot evaporate and that is what makes it possible to have water droplets in air. Once the relative humidity falls below 100% even a tiny bit, the fog almost instantly disappears.

Ability of virus to be airborne means it can survive outside droplet of bodily fluid for an extended period of time. Once all water dries out it also becomes very light and can be moved by smallest currents of air.
Nice video, but it would be nice to know also which telescope he used.
It’s illegal to pay H1Bs less than the prevailing wage.
> Those are considered illegitimate since they are undemocratic.

But these are voluntary structures? That's kind of the beauty of the free market. You have these little monarchal structures that go out and create something in the world. If people want to join they can. If and when these structures become too dysfunctional they go away due to market forces.
> Hire tech capable teachers that care.

I know teachers who make < $30k/year and have to pay out-of-pocket for supplies. Good luck attracting tech talent with that salary.

So, again: fund schools.

I’m a senior .NET developer with more than 6 years of professional experience. I have been designing and building services, web applications, and complex distributed microservice oriented systems in C#.
Curious how the Erlang->C++ progress is going? I asked a bit over a year about it (which I think prompted the pre-emptive note :) ); obviously not owed an explanation but perhaps you can get a quick update on whether the migrations are more painful than expected, or the scope of changes in-/decreased, etc?
I think you’re talking past each other. In communism, in principle, things belong “to the people”, but in reality they belong to the state which can decide what you get, and taken away (as form of punishment). On the other hand, in democracies governments rarely leave things to “the people” they take the money to the feds, the state, county and then the local gov... Do I want my money going to podunk or a mismanaged (corrupt city), or locally where we have more of a voice?

He fired the first poor bastard he found to rile up his base on the idea that he is protecting American jobs. This is not only absolutely stupid and unjustified. It also shows how petty are politics in this country.
> to pay domestic workers

Wait, so they were underpaying the H1B workers the way they're explicitly prohibited by law from doing?
The TVA is government owned, but self funded. Apparently it's turned a healthy profit since the 70s.
That’s a good idea, although this is a highlights blog post, not intended to list all the changes. For that you can look at the 1.5 release notes:

https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1.5/NEWS/
Almost all countries are pursuing a herd immunity strategy by default, just at varying rates. Only a handful of countries are actually taking steps to eradicate the virus within their borders.
They release their own library (ObjectARX/RealDWG) yearly in sync with the AutoCad releases, and at least call the format “DWg 2018“,2019,2020 and so on. The library (I think) refuses to open a 2019 file with version 2018. Even if the problem just occurred every 3 years that too would be unacceptable of course.

We are developing a proprietary bespoke program, it’s not possible to use GPL style licenses, nor will the niche filfilled by it ever be filled by an OSS program.
Not going to take a side on the politics but I think every CEO would like clarity on what the rules are. Is the policy not to higher H1B workers for public entities? Let the government issue a clear policy and then hold people accountable. It would be tough to run an organization and have to guess at what is not countenanced.

Somebody needs to tell him about the shit Disney tried to pull.
The fact that they were agrarian societies doesn't negate the fact that both China and Rome often cycled between socialist and capitalist styled policies.

Feel free to substitute any modern economy in their place and you'll see a society that is capitalistic but uses socialist policies to constrain the amount of inequality (ie. healthcare, education, etc) driven by that capitalism.

You're missing the point that balance between the two usually is best for the populace and for the stability of the government.

This is a point that Thomas Sowell misses often as well. He strives for conformity with the conservative status quo.
Firing the CEO of a federally owned corporation for abusing the H1B program is cracking down.
Sorry for the late response, I'm not used to not getting notifications for responses to my comments.

There is no simple way to get the rules for that CA. However, if you press Shift+Space, you get an alternative representation of the hash that lets you re-seed while keeping the same rule: https://skulk.org/cell1d/#c2:3:1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0:12;120;115,15...

This format is ad-hoc, but you can read it as such: The first number after #c is 2, which is the number of states. The second number, 3, is the size of the transition window. This tells us that this is a standard 1-d CA. The next 8 (2^3) numbers is the transition table. Interpreting it as binary (in reverse), we get the number (and rule) 73. http://atlas.wolfram.com/01/01/73/

The next couple of numbers are the colors used, and the final number is the seed. You can change this and the rules/colors will remain the same but the top row is re-randomized.

BTW: here is my favorite. I call it the coral reef: https://skulk.org/cell1d/#s54509032
By firing violators are they not 'cracking down on abuse'?

Comparatively, are they more inaccurate than other news outlets? If so, which are some that you would say are more accurate in their reporting of foreign affairs?
I agree that it's going to get worse. There is a mass exodus out of NYC. I live in northern NJ and lots of my town commutes to NYC. Anecdotally, most of the people I know who worked in NYC are not going back anytime soon. There are bidding wars for smallish houses where a 350k house gets 20 bids and goes for 10% over asking price. People are trying to get out of the city by stay close to at least see how things shake out. One neighbor is talking of moving to a low cost state in the middle of the country as their NYC office is not reopening, but they are all working remotely. Salary arbitrage.
The CEO probably pissed him off...

Distrust in authorities is understandable by the less educated, taking into account how the elite lies and takes advantage of the population. The problem comes from the top: their irresponsible and unethical practices led to today's divided country. t.ly/Fb8F
It used to be a common thing to recompile, at least partially, the kernel image for your specific deployment, instead of having what some called "table-driven OS".

> If the public option has very high quality coverage, you may find that you no longer need your private subscription.

Or regardless of the quality of the public option, you may find that you can no longer afford your private subscription. The public option isn't free, after all—just pre-paid with no ability to opt out—and you may not be able to afford two such services. Other cases where public services "compete" with private providers (e.g. toll roads) suffer from the same problem: You don't get to choose between paying for the public option and paying for the private option. You're either paying for just the public option, or for both, even if the private option is all you want or need.
One wonders if one solution to the problem of unemployment caused by an improved tax system would be for the federal government to figure out a plan in which the existing industry converts into government contractors. Might be easier for the IRS to get Intuit to create their free public tax reporting software rather than try to build it themselves.
This is prior to his administration though?
While getting some US developers back on the job might be a good thing, taking steps to dismantle a government chartered public utility is not. This isn't about the 10 H1-B visas, this is low hanging political fruit that Trump will use to attempt privatization of the TVA.
No, the CEO didn’t violate any rules. The American contractors he hired did.

Yes, BBC news has gone way, way downhill over the past 10 years or so. Titles have gotten more and more click-baity, and the subject matter more and more pointless and/or designed to cause outrage. The language of writing definitely changed too - you shouldn't need to read a dictionary to read an article, obviously, but it's like they're writing for a target market of either 7 year olds or imbiciles.
The PkgServer is an open source caching server, available here: https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/PkgServer.jl

The PkgServer protocol serves content-addressed chunks of data to Julia Pkg clients, so to download a certain version of a package, the Pkg client will request things like `GET /package/${pkg_uuid}/${content_hash}`. If you can pre-fill a PkgServer with all of the packages that you want, then it can serve a client just fine.

The full design is that there are a small number of "Storage Servers" that continually explore the global registry of packages (called `General`, located here: https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General), downloading and storing tarballs for every version of every package that is available. These storage servers store everything forever, while Pkg servers contain an LRU cache to allow them to be deployed close to whatever compute resources will be requesting packages. For an airgapped solution, you could generate a static snapshot of some selection of the packages you want to serve, then serve them with nginx and point to that "static storage server" with the opensource Pkg Server, and it would all "just work".

An example of how to generate a static storage server is here: https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/PkgServer.jl/blob/master/b..., you would serve the resultant directory structure with something like nginx, then point the Pkg Server to that server as the upstream storage server.

I will note that Julia Computing offers an enterprise solution for dealing with secure/restrictive environments called JuliaTeam which provides this in a convenient, managed bundle, along with many other useful features.

EDIT: Ah, I forgot to mention, Stefan and I gave a talk at JuliaCon 2020 that touches on some of this, here's a link to the timestamp of the relevant section: https://youtu.be/xPhnJCAkI4k?t=350

And for more info, here's the original planning issue (note some things have changed as we've implemented it over the last year, but the bones are the same): https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/1377#issue-492482...

Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to spend their life doing what they enjoy, whenever they want.
