Have you totally gave up finding a good online patient community? Recently I have been thinking about this a lot: https://medium.com/@zby/rational-patient-community-6d3617dff... What is not there yet is an account on how a family member cured Hashimoto with diet, this is something I would totally dismiss if I read about it on the internet - but I trust her and her judgement. It is possible that it was just a coincidence, but she promised to write a detailed report.

Poignant. Thank you.
So I suppose if you've actually got a source from Van Halen's mouth, that's probably more authoritative.

Yes, that's exactly why I was searching for that transcript. Maybe Howard Stern will re-air it or re-publish the interview in his app (I don't live in the US, so I don't have proper access to the show's content sadly). Thats why I added the IIRC. But whatever VH said in that interview clarified were that knocking came from.
Should be, at the end of the day they are both just X86_64 systems. It isn't like the console generations of old where each one would used a specialized CPU usually designed specifically for that console. (The PS3 had to include a full PS2 chip for its compatibility layer)

All that said, I do see them somehow screwing it up.
The article seems to leave out Microsoft. They are probably less of a threat since they aren’t in the business of controlling what the public sees.

Your joke doesn't really get to the point - do you think religious celibacy is as significant of a demographic factor as urbanization? Urbanization affects over half of the population.
Digital ocean also has a lot of love. Maybe it’s the heyday MacBook of cloud providers and developers will try this just because it is a DO thing. And I think the love comes from providing a really good platform for side projects. It’s probably a badass user kind of a thing (see the book called badass).

I had to go to Heroku before to be badass but now I can do that with DO who align more to my way of thinking as a developer.
> I must confess I much more enjoy Eddie The Songwriter rather than Eddie The Guitarist

I enjoy his guitar playing as well, but I agree with you here! I have the unpopular opinion that the stuff he was doing with the synth in the late Roth and throughout the Hagar era is better than some of the more traditional hard rock stuff. "Right Now" is one of my favorite songs ever, and it's relatively light on the guitar for a Van Halen song.
Uh oh, that must make everything he says wrong!
Show HN: Cotter – Add WebAuthn on Your Website to Enable Biometric Auth
WebAuthn enables websites to authenticate their users with built-in authenticators like Apple's TouchID and Windows Hello. It utilizes public-key cryptography instead of passwords. When the user registers, a public-private key pair is generated for the account. The private key is stored securely in the user's device, while the public key is sent to the server. The server can then ask the user's device to sign a challenge using the private key to authenticate the user.

I call it the economic fallacy. It's very common, especially on discussion forums like this.

Every problem is only related to how much competition there is, but not to how hard the underlying problem is.

It's somewhat related to the "awareness fallacy": The belief that every problem that humanity has can be solved if just everyone is aware and willing to act.
In the same boat with you. My left hand is most likely spot on, but right hand only using index and middle, pink for Enter and Backspace. I tend to make typos around the right side of the keyboard. Not sure how to fix it after decades of typing.

Yea, I'm mostly approaching this from the point of view of learning any new language is climbing a learning curve. If you are coming from most of the mainstream languages (java, javascript, python, etc) you are going to want to rebind things because that's how imperative languages roll.

This is probably colored from my own experience of going from Python (mainly) to Elixir (mainly). As a toy example, imagine having to remove all the negative numbers from a list in the middle of a function.

Most python programmers would reach for a list comprehension after learning about list comprehensions (which is great because they are more FP)

my_list = [number for number in my_list if number >= 0]

So you pick up Elixir and you are trying to do the equivalent thing after reading through the docs

my_list = for number <- my_list, number >= 0, do: number

And that works fine, it's my_list is exactly what you expect, no negative numbers.

Let's try the same thing in Erlang

MyList = [X || X <- MyList, X >= 0].
** exception error: no match of right hand side value

As a new user coming to the language, trying to do something so simple and getting a somewhat opaque error message is a significant degree of friction.

I have found that when I want the old value of a variable to no longer be available rebinding the name is a great way to ensure that. If in the future I decide that I need the old value later on in the function I can always just change the bind to some other name easily enough, but it prevents me from using state when I meant to use updated_state.

Not to say one way is better than the other, I just found this use of rebinding to work well for me by making it "impossible" to use the old / stale / out-of-date value.
+1 to your points. I think the thing to remember is the "patterns" that are novel. Remembering approaches to solving problems, ways of thinking, are the things that help with creativity. Remembering specific solutions to problems isn't as useful, unless they're things you do regularly.

I think the trick is to take a problem and "see" the higher-level patterns in the solution rather than the specifics.
One of the biggest challenges when writing code to implement deep learning networks is getting all of the tensor (matrix and vector) dimensions to line up properly, even when using predefined network layers. This article describes a new library called TensorSensor that clarifies exceptions by augmenting messages and visualizing Python code to indicate the shape of tensor variables. It works with Tensorflow, PyTorch, and Numpy, as well as higher-level libraries like Keras and fastai.
And this is the REAL issue. If I was allowed to start a pharma company as easily as I could start a software company then you bet I would be doing that instead of SAAS. I can guarantee that prices would be lower than the rest of the world, and that American pharma companies would be top-of-market in international markets as well.

But, the mafioso in-bed-with-the-gov-and-politicians absolutely corrupt elitist-owned system that we have in America is ruining this country.

And to all the people downvoting the "regulation" comments: You are being COMPLETELY intellectually dishonest, and you know it. Game theory validates that regulatory capture is 100% the issue. The Universe and nature work by a set of laws that has been investigated since the 50s with Von Neumann, Nash, etc. It is time that we stop telling ourselves that some politicians in government are going to magically create legal algorithms that outperform the laws of the nature. It is dangerous, immoral, and stupid and it ends up only protecting and embedding the existing corrupt elite for life.
Ideally we would have a professional organization, like literally every other discipline that calls itself Engineering, both to educate, license, and enforce ethical and safety norms, and to support engineers asked to violate those boundaries by providing a public avenue for grievance against companies trying to behave unethically or unsafely.

Fair enough. Fukushima is a good example of a system with multiple, redundant safeguards that were violated pretty much simultaneously. They've ruled that it was preventable, however.

It's become a case study and spawned new audit and safeguard procedures.

I'm not going to guarantee that nuclear is the safest power source until the end of time.

The API itself is perhaps less interesting than the implementation strategy.

The shoes Michael Jackson used for Smooth Criminal were patented as well.

(And if we’re gonna talk about cool patents by entertainers, nothing’s gonna beat Hedy Lamarr’s work on spread spectrum communications.)
He didn't just contribute the solo—he rearranged part of the song! [1]

> Michael [Jackson] left to go across the hall to do some children's speaking record. I think it was "E.T." or something. So I asked Quincy [Jones], "What do you want me to do?" And he goes, "Whatever you want to do." And I go, "Be careful when you say that. If you know anything about me, be careful when you say, "Do anything you want!"

> I listened to the song, and I immediately go, "Can I change some parts?" I turned to the engineer and I go, "OK, from the breakdown, chop in this part, go to this piece, pre-chorus, to the chorus, out." Took him maybe 10 minutes to put it together. And I proceeded to improvise two solos over it.
I was just finishing the second solo when Michael walked in.

> And you know artists are kind of crazy people. We're all a little bit strange. I didn't know how he would react to what I was doing. So I warned him before he listened. I said, "Look, I changed the middle section of your song."

> Now in my mind, he's either going to have his bodyguards kick me out for butchering his song, or he's going to like it. And so he gave it a listen, and he turned to me and went, "Wow, thank you so much for having the passion to not just come in and blaze a solo, but to actually care about the song, and make it better."

I can't think of a more innovative and imaginative musician in history.

Povilas from the linked blog post here.

The reasons why we chose the current path were explained in detail in the blog posts.

Touchpad gestures was the most popular feature to implement. In order to do that we needed a good reason why all the other project maintainers would want to spend time discussing a feature with us. Wayland is the future, yes, but currently a lot of users are still on X which makes our argument much less convincing. Now we can say that touchpad gestures will soon be available everywhere and get their attention this way.

I agree that X is legacy platform. Unfortunately it may still be used for quite some time. Core functionality such as screenshots and input record/replay is not universally available on Wayland. So X will still be used for significant amount of time.

Please tell me what else I could explain to increase the transparency of the project and I'll try my best to do so. Thanks!
The most likely explanation is that he wasn’t storing his guns safely but didn’t want to admit that on the record.
Nerds don't like sportball, but programming nerds like abstract creators. Eddie was a mind bending genere pushing creative force. His impact was bigger than sportball. Often other obituaries are noted here. Sportsball not so much, unless it's statistical sportsball. Van Halen is probably a stretch tbh, so I don't want to defend it too much either. This site is still better than twitter.
More people will die if you don't have medicines to solve their issues, blood sugar level is not the only problem young people have.

Other countries don't solve the issue by putting an artificial price on it, they just import cheap generic alternatives and use their negotiation power because they buy it for the whole country which is universally insured.

The US got bigger insurance pools than many other countries just because of the country size but as people explained before, due to regulations and inefficiencies in the market they can't utilise other cheaper suppliers.

At the end of the day, medicines got certain costs to develop and produce and people who buy it have to pay this cost one way or another plus some profit.

I've known about relatively inexpensive off patent insulin for a while now. It's really strange how it almost never comes up in discussions about drug prices. I've had an open question for about as long as I've known about off patent insulin.

People often say that expensive insulin leads to "deaths". How accurate is this statement? It's hard to get a straight answer because the word "death" is so politicized and its meaning can be stretched extremely far. I'm not trying to make a statement either way about what the price of insulin should be, just trying to quantify how much "death" it causes.

You don't even need Amazon Holdings to own them, the same results can happen from regular old business partnerships. Maybe the government can forbid new deals between the offshoots, but that just creates middlemen. Or maybe ADiapers isn't viable on its own, so Amazon forms a deal with BDiapers instead, but the same net result happens. (Product placement deals are commonplace.) In the worst case you get the same anti-competitive behavior, where Amazon and BDiapers form a partnership where Amazon subsidizes BDiapers to kill off the diaper competition and then gets paid back after BDiapers jacks up prices.

The government could put a stop to that too (and does occasionally stop anti-competitive practices of various sorts) even though there's no single company to breakup. There are other methods than breakup to strongarm companies into doing things. So why not use them instead of all this mess that would result from breaking up Amazon? Especially if we can't even show their diaper venture was particularly effective in anti-competitive goals? We don't even need to invent a diaper business, we have the whole Amazon Basics line as well as their Amazon hardware to analyze. Those do get preferential treatment, yet other in-kind hardware and products still show up and sometimes do better anyway (Energizer is #1 in 9V batteries), plus the alternatives have the larger share (majority) of non-Amazon commerce locations where they don't compete with Amazon. They may compete with store-brands of those places of course.
