This is great.

Back when I had a tympanomastoidectomy (how's that for a medical mouthful?) they gave me the images of the before/after CT scans on CD. I used OsiriX to view them and it totally blew my mind. While the "lite" (free) version wasn't exactly like the medical-grade imagery, it was close enough to make me very familiar with every nook and cranium. (sorry for the pun, the CT scans were of my skull!)

When you look at the images individually, it makes it more obvious and simultaneously more fascinating how the software maps everything into a 3D image. It's actually not that complicated as long as each layer of the scan is consistent. Basically they are a greyscale version of http://thescienceexplorer.com/brain-and-body/dead-body-slice... that the software interprets and colours. I assume DICON viewers could easily interpret the sliced dead-body images because of that.

I'm very happy to see that DICOM viewers have since appeared in open source. I look forward to re-imaging my scans to see what shows up.

More on topic -- I always wanted to write a DICOM-diff to make before/after comparisons, which can also be useful in seeing progressions over time, but don't have the knowledge for the graphical interpretation of each pixel on a 3D plane. But with an open-source solution, that part is already done and I just have to think about a plugin or new menu item for alignment and highlighting in an already-existing package.
Yes, back testing is not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

As an Austrian myself, I'm not at all surprised at their reaction. To them, their website is "just IT stuff" and they simply don't have a notion that it would involve any security.

To them you'll likely seem like an overzealous geek that shouldn't mess with their business website. I've experienced this before myself and it's not particularly a good position to be in.

Their site has most likely been technically abandoned, i.e. no one capable is in charge anymore.

It'd be best to talk to the owner, show them your "hack" (change it to cats on your phone and let them verify in their browser) and offer them to fix it for free.

That's how one does these things in our small country. ;-)
There's a great talk from a company that had some Netflow SaaS product, that I can't find right now.

They were suffering from GC pauses etc. on their ingestion hosts. They spent ages experimenting with various ways of tweaking garbage collection in Java, using different GCs, tweaking settings, etc. They even spent time experimenting with manual memory allocation, but found that to be extremely painful and somewhat fragile.

In the end they found that all they really needed to do was just produce less garbage, which was their ultimate "well duh!" revelation. They spent time looking at what was actually producing the garbage, and how they could avoid it. Got rid of a lot of standard coding patterns from their code in favour of new patterns that reduced object allocation, and away went all their problems.
Good for Strava. In my community of athletes Strava is the gold standard and there is really nothing else quite like it that is compatible with more than one brand of device and offers a similar feature set.

Probably about 1/2 of my friends are paid members. Since they changed their billing model/feature/plans earlier in the year, more people in my circle started paying and I can not think of anyone who left.

While there can be some frustrations with some of the segments, it really varies heavily sport to sport and area to area. In trail running segments where I am it's pretty rare to find a completely unbelievable segment entry that screams someone is cheating. But at the end of the day often you are filtering the segment results down to your followers or clubs list.

Overall I find Strava to keep me more engaged in friendly competition than other-words and the premium features do a good job of adding actual value in terms of another view/opinion in your training status.

Having said all that, my circle of friends are not your casual athletes.

The author might like to know that since 2017, Java has two of the most sophisticated Garbage Collectors on the planet.

1. Red Hat's Shenandoah GC

2. Oracle's ZGC

(I could also mention Azul Systems work on its CCCC)

Both Shenandoah and ZGC claim to run on multi terabyte heaps with 1 ms max pause times.
Depends. Sunlight just converts a precursor molecule (7-dehydrocholesterol) to D3. The precursor is a product of the cholesterol synthesis system.

I personally believe you don't need any exposure to direct sunlight to get required D3 as long as you eat food natural to humans, specially if the diet is close to that of indigenous groups living in similar environment for thousands of years. We store D3 in our fat and you can also get it when you eat animal fat.

However, if you really want to use sun exposure, I recommend an app called dminder which tells you, based on your location, if and when sun exposure will give you Vitamin-D.

Most things can manufactured most places, with varying degrees of difficulty. A key factor is where you start. My lists were where you start, in each environment. Starting at Earth-normal pressure, Earth-normal temperature, and Earth-normal gravity is advantageous, vs starting with none of those things. Venus has them, Mars manifestly does not.

But even in ideal circumstances, manufacturing Earth-normal gravity on Mars will not be possible.
> When I started using Unix in '85 or so I didn't find it especially user friendly so the first program I wrote was a little trampoline alternative to the login shell (/bin/sh in those days) that exec'd emacs as the terminal's controlling process. At least that way I could be an a more familiar environment.

Interesting how things get reinvented every so often:

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

> The names ORVYL and WYLBUR are often used interchangeably, but:

> ORVYL is a timesharing monitor that supports a file system, command language, program execution and debugging, and provides supervisor services.[1]

> WYLBUR is a text editor, word processor,[a] job submission and retrieval, and e-mail program designed to work in conjunction with ORVYL or with IBM's OS/360, SVS, and MVS operating systems.[2] and

> MILTEN is terminal control software used by both ORVYL and WYLBUR for start/stop terminals.[1]

> WYLBUR is not a full standalone operating system in the mold of Dartmouth Time Sharing System (DTSS) or Unix. Instead it runs on top of an IBM batch operating system (OS/360, SVS, MVS). It takes the form of an editor with a Remote Job Entry system and thus has much the same relationship to the IBM operating systems as Emacs does to Unix. For these reasons WYLBUR is often thought of as a text editor rather than a time-sharing system. However, whereas Unix does not need Emacs to provide text editing services, IBM's operating systems originally needed WYLBUR. Later innovations such as IBM's Time Sharing Option (TSO) made WYLBUR less relevant for IBM users and gradually replaced it.

[snip]

> ORVYL and WYLBUR first became available in 1967–68, before TSS/360, TSO, or any other official time-sharing solution from IBM. This was roughly the same time that third-party time-sharing systems such as MTS became available and the under the radar development effort of CP-67 at IBM's own Cambridge Scientific Center took place. WYLBUR had the additional advantage that it could be used in conjunction with IBM's mainstream operating system, OS/360.

"Text editor as a primary user interface" is a design idea which pops up every so often. People pushing modern Emacs into being their widow manager (exwm) is a new reinvention.
I don't think it needs to be all server operators;

It is not difficult for me to believe a Judge could find it "unlikely" that a 2013 email was forged containing a valid Google signature, and I would not want to rely on you being on my jury. If Google were to publish their private keys, I could produce a forgery of my own in my defence.

Of course it would be great if people were smarter than they are, but they're not, and I wrote some perl today, so it is hard to tilt at this particular windmill.
Would be interesting to see the list of thing they financially / code contribute to.
I think niche market / big market is always subjective and very poorly defined in general leading to confusion. When chatting with a VC, "niche" probably means "not worth investing into, too small" in their simplified language even though you could mean simply that it's a subsection of some huge industry which is in itself huge. Like first person shooters in the game industry.

I believe what you’re talking about with an universal ordering of events is called the Relativity of Simultaneity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity

I believe you are correct in that the closest you can get to change the order of two events is to make them simultaneous (in the case of photons, which do not experience time) but you cannot change one event ordering beyond that since that would violate causality.
1) I agree, but it is quite easy to ignor. I do not see it often though.

2) Agree, but with popular distributions it is relatively easy to find help. With unpopular ones not so much, but you can always choose more common one. If you need to use some special distro experience can be worse.

3) Sorry, cannot disagree more. For me OS utilities in Ubuntu are dead simple and this works for me quite well. But once upon a time windows 10 decided that for some reason I must have 3 different English laouts (UK, US and Latin or smth like that). I did manage to remove redundant ones by performing some unobvious actions in unobvious settings sections. And extra layouts kept returning after reboots. I had other similarly annoying problems and they were difficult to resolve because solutions posted literally month before had completely different settings layout on screenshots compared to mine. In windows 10 settings do change drastically every few... months?

Command-line-based interfaces seem more stable. And most common issues are already have accessible solutions if you use stable release of popular Linux distro. At least in my experience.
In my mind, it simply can't go faster because you get fastest speed already, with light.

Just consider that you have this object, light, that will always travel at the fastest speed possible. You can approach that speed. But throwing light in front of you can not increase light's speed.
If you're cynical about cDc --- I certainly am --- you should know that talking like this about them just amplifies them. In reality, most people in the scene would associate Mudge with L0pht much more quickly than with cDc --- whatever it is cDc means, or meant, or whatever.

> Additionally you’re also ignoring the whole “people have the right, to not have their emails stolen” argument

No, just the opposite, that is an excellent argument and I think that the privacy should be the real focus when we discuss the freedom, and not the accountability. Because freedom is not to be able to get away for the lack of evidence, freedom is not to put innocent people in that kind of situation in the first place.

Police state doesn't come from the ability to track citizens, it comes from the lack of transparency and government's misuse of the information. Now, reality is that having more data collecting increases the chances of misuse, but I think we're attacking the problem from the wrong side. Rather than killing the option to track emails, there should be much more control and transparency on when and how that data can be collected and used.

Find at least two books about poker that you think would be interesting and read them cover to cover.

Repeatedly consider the concepts you've learned and try to apply them.
Others have explained why you can't wave away inconsistency (principle of explosion) nor incompleteness (adding new axioms just creates a new axiomatic system with its own Godel sentences). However you might also find it interesting what incompletenesses exist in our own mathematical system (ZFC) -- the most well-known example is the Continuum Hypothesis[1]:

> There is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and the real numbers.

Or to put it another way, there exists no intermediate type of infinity between countable infinities (the set of integers) and uncountable infinities (the set of real numbers).

The CH is independent of ZFC -- both CH and its negation can be included as new axioms to ZFC and both versions are logically consistent if and only if ZFC is -- meaning that being able to prove the CH is an incompleteness in ZFC.

That's absolutely true.

In particular, there's an interesting distorting effect caused by large-scale ad vendors and sites that want ad revenue. They always show an ad, and the only question is which ad. While I think ads should just not exist (and people should universally block them), it would be an interestingly different world if the alternatives were "useful ad" versus "no ad".
I don't think it would be outright fraud that I would be looking for, but rather them glossing over things like composition of the group, the novelty of the RNA approach and how that could affect different subgroups given we'll be giving it not to 30k but hundreds of millions of people at least. A kind of crazy thing that occurs to me, how does it interact with someone that has a retrovirus infection? I get that those reverse-transcriptase proteins act specifically, but weird stuff out of left field could be a problem once deployed widely.

I figure a peer reviewed article would at least have to address the "known unknowns".

Tesla Model X Still Ahead of BMW IX, Despite Years of Research
I remember people praising Sweden's strategy for one important reason: they can do it indefinitely, while more stringent lock-down measures will fail because people will get tired of them and ignore the measures. It made perfect sense. By all indications, Sweden should have enjoyed a flat and sustainable level of infections. While this level may have been higher than neighbouring countries, the fact that it would have remained constant while other countries' would have surged as governments loosened restrictions and people stopped paying attention to them meant that Sweden's was the winning strategy for a pandemic that would be with us for several years.

Why did this not pan out? Why is Sweden seeing a second wave as well? Why did the number of infections soar, while it should theoretically have remained constant?
For me, the shady business practices are not the reason I don't use Yelp. The big problem is that people are bad at reviewing restaurants. Everyone has different assumptions and standards, so the rating is generally meaningless. I see things like "1 Star. Server gave me a dirty look after I didn't tip them, because I don't believe in tipping." In cases like that, the problem is you, not the restaurant! For things as subjective as whether or not the food was worth the price, you have to provide supporting evidence ("show, don't tell"), and while professional reviewers do this, amateur reviewers never do. There is no way to use the data to make a good decision, and it seems even less possible to use the data to decide "which restaurant should I go to right now".

To some extent, all reviews are like this. I cringe when tech reviewers measure WiFi routers and tell me about throughput (that comes at the cost of latency), or Amazon reviewers bought the completely wrong product and obviously didn't like it.

I hate to say it, but I don't think reviews are "a thing". They make people feel good and probably drive more sales ("it had 5 stars, so I bought it"), but I don't feel like reviews have ever saved me time. I wish I could stop seeing them. (Maybe I should write a Chrome extension to remove them.)
Quick summary:

Monumental incompetency/groupthink at our small CDC-equivalency (Folkhälsomyndigheten) during the spring. Disaster was narrowly avoided by heroic work by healthcare workers/hospitals. A lot of people died though. Death per capita levels are similar to US levels, not to rest-of-Nordics levels (e.g. Norway/Denmark/Finland). This isn't acceptable.

Herd immunity was the obvious plan all along although it was publicly denied. Recent "leaked" emails have revealed the truth.

The same people responsible for the above are still in charge. It will be a long winter.

Google is so entwined with the web that they've changed how people interact with and publish content.

Deep browsing sessions through layers of hyperlinks are dead. Instead people jump into and out of pages from Google, Twitter or HN. Personal home pages are dead, instead you need to publish to a platform like Medium or Twitter which will promote your content for you because no one is browsing anymore.

Now we have a world where the web pages primarily about companies (not individuals) create pages for Google (not people) as a way of juicing the search rankings so they can then get people in to download their mobile app.

In a nostalgic way, I miss the old web. But in a more pragmatic way I'm appalled at how inefficient this system is. If you wanted to design a way to index the world's information from the ground up, using toil and SEO spend as a proxy for quality and legitimacy (i.e. a million keyword heavy custom landing pages and bought backlinks) is a terrible way to do it.
