RxRevu | Engineering & Product Roles | Full-Time | Remote (USA)

Hello, I’m Gabe, the CTO of RxRevu. It is no secret how busted the healthcare system is in the US. We’ve spent the past two years focused on making drug prices transparent for physicians and their patients. In thousands of hospitals and clinics across the US today, you can ask your doctor, “how much will that medication cost me?” and they’ll finally be able to give you an accurate answer.

We’re now building additional products that can also reduce the friction people encounter when accessing care. If working with mission-focused technologists on products that make a material difference for millions of people in the US sounds exciting, then we should probably talk!

I meant leaks or new information exposing how/why FB intentionally made backups unencrypted when storing on Google Drive.

I am aware that Whatsapp does this and have avoided Whatsapp’s Google Drive backup overall.
Well, that and "your job will be automated" very often means "your job will finally be automated 20 years after you retire."
If your query does " * " it gets all the columns in all the tables. Often, the optimizer when all the columns you need are on the index, never visits the actual table (I remember the term covered index). " * " basically screws this up. "Select *" should never be used in anything in an actual production environment.
It certainly might have been perceived that way. IIRC, Font-lock mode included logic to defer the heavier execution of fontification until a certain amount of idle time accrued (particularly helpful from a UX perspective as people are typing there can often be dramatic shifts in fontification, and it isn't worth slowing them down just to make a change that will disappear at the next keystroke). There are also tricks in it to do partial fontification. I believe this is now handled in a sub-module called jit-lock-mode (Just-in-time Lock Mode).

However, font-lock-mode never executed in a separate preemptive thread.
Absence of either is more or less even-equal of a problem:

Math is unavoidable, but if your math doesn't provide an accurate model of reality, what am I exactly not avoiding?
I was not aware of that, interesting indeed.
I am not sure about Costco, but Best Buy does not purchase all the items it sells. For some items it only remits a payment to the manufacturer after the item has sold. Should they not get to see the sales data?
We don't know what the long term effects of either the virus or the vaccine are on a human. Hell we can't possibly even have data on what the long term effects are on humans. It doesn't matter how many people have been exposed.
I’d wager that most people would agree that any dad that is seeing his children only on weekends is failing as a father. Obviously there’s some extreme exceptions but by and large I can’t imagine anyone advocating for him.
That's what the law states, in practice, ridiculous patents are granted as a matter of course.

And, in practice, most patent infringement lawsuits go down like this: "We own this patent and have a team of well-funded lawyers to defend it, we've assessed that you and your company are not financially capable of defending yourself and so we are willing to offer you a substantial licensing agreement as settlement. We suggest you take it."

I always say Nomad is what Mesos should be if you re-wrote it and fixed the mistakes that caused it to "lose" out to Kubernetes.

I think they are quite incompatible. Me and my wife have a 1y4m old and we mostly don't do anything else nowadays.
Other than that we have (had?) a startup that is now mostly on hold, except for some hacking that we do now and then when one of our mothers is around.

We are very lucky that we are mostly financially independent from before our son was born, otherwise I would have to go work in an office and it would be a lot harder for my wife to look after the baby.
> I remember chatting with a woman at a work event one night and asking if she needed to go home soon because of her kids. She replied, “No, I see my kids on weekends.” I couldn’t help but cringe thinking about what it would be like to only see my son on weekends. It seemed horrible!

If you work 9-5 (really 8-5 most places) this is basically true anyway. Most of the time you get with them on weekdays may have some quality just for existing, but is really pretty poor. Rush around in the morning, send them off to wherever, get back home at 5:30 or later just in time to throw together or eat dinner (depending on whether your spouse stays home), then bed-time routine, or they run off and do their own thing for an hour or two (friends, bike riding because god knows they don't get enough time outside at school for e.g. basic eye health, homework, whatever) while you try to get the house in something resembling order for the next day, then bedtime routine.

Any way you slice it, weekday time-with-kids for someone with a normal job is pretty crap. If you're a super-parent you might be able to make some of it a little better or more valuable. Finding maybe an hour a couple nights a week is doable, especially if you shift all your clean-up into your "alone time" and basically live kids, cleaning, and work all your waking weekday hours (ugh, no).

If you're in the founder set and see loss of weekday time as a huge sacrifice, then I'd guess you're paying someone to handle a bunch of the bullshit in your life. At least regular cleaners and maybe you don't do much of your own cooking, and possibly you have one of those kid-chauffeur services. Ordinary working people don't spend a ton of quality time with their kids during the week. Again, seeing them at all may have some value, but you're not gonna hang out undistracted by other life-junk for any serious length of time.

Weekends? That's where the good times are. Morning and evening weekday hours are just too eaten up with trying to get by. About the best you get is a smooth routine that's at least not a negative experience for all concerned.
S/he may argue that public officials manage to do it too, despite its illegality, hence it's Okay for Amazon to do so. For some, whatever Amazon does is okay, there will always be some other cases happening elsewhere that in some twisted ways are the same. I think most people are only ever consumers, and can't escape their subjectivity on this matter. They get theit toys delivered within a couple of days, the invoice says free delivery, they want things to remain that way so what ever Amazon is doing is okay (for them, for now)

> This turned a health debate into a struggle for rights: "We're all in this together" vs "99% let me take my chances".

If that really is the case, then it IS an education problem, except they failed their civics class. Civics is a balance of civil rights and civic responsibilities, specifically, the responsibility that you have to your fellow countrymen. Not killing your fellow countrymen falls high on that list of responsibilities.
After 15 years programming I have come to love SQL - 10 yrs ago I used to do everything in the book to avoid it out of hate, even though I knew how to use it, but over time I have moved more and more into the database / SQL and my code is just better and better as a result.

> Why would it be necessary to send a message that it was you who poisoned your most public critic?

Because it acts as a deterrent to others interested in following in their footsteps.

“I can kill you at any time with no repercussions and I’ll deny it with a smile on my face because I can.”

Putin is busy trying to imprison anyone associated with or protesting for the release of Navalny. That is as telling as anything. It wasn’t the west.
No othey are going to leverage traffic into gambling assets. They don't want to gut the product. They will invest.
I think you’re half-right there.

To my understanding, IQ tests do measure generalized intelligence, and a lot of standardized tests correlate to them fairly well.

However, elite universities have been deemphasizing standardized tests for decades in favor of fuzzier admissions criteria. This, among other things, enables discrimination against minorities that overperform on standardized tests (historically Jews, currently Asians).

You’re right that the elite class is a self-selected cultural elite, but standardized tests are less of a tool and more of an impediment to their self-selection process.
I like it because now my ISP is bound by the 1st amendment.
It's not conflicting. New evidence changes science-based understanding and decisions. This is at the core of how science works. It's impossible to know everything about everything immediately so you make the best decisions you can based on the information you do have.

Herd immunity is still the holy grail of dealing with an infectious disease like this. If new evidence says we're not going to reach it, for whatever reason, then you have to shift tactics to something else that may not be as ideal but is more likely achievable.

While I understand that messages/information changing can cause some genuine confusion, the concept that once information is delivered it must never change and if it does then you can't trust any of it is just a wedge used to sow mistrust. While it may be comforting to have that sort of authority/consistency, anybody who tells you they know everything about everything immediately is lying to you.
Yes.

Base R is OK, but dplyr is magical.

For instance, integer indexing in base R is df[row,col] rather than the iloc pandas stuff.

plot, print and summary (and generic function OOP more generally is really underappreciated).

Python is a better programming language, but R is a better data analysis environment.

And dplyr is an incredibly fluent DSL for doing data analysis (not quite as good for modelling though).

Seriously, I read the original vignette for dplyr in late 2013/early 2014 and within two weeks I'd switched most of my new analytical code over to it. So very, very good. Less idea-impedance match than any other environment, in my experience.
This is more or less my assessment. It's important to keep in mind that global geopolitics is a subtle game, especially when intelligence operations are concerned; sometimes things are exactly how they appear, but often they're very different from how they are initially reported. It often takes decades to find out what really happened. I don't think there's enough solid information to draw any conclusions about this specific situation, but I do think if Putin intended to get rid of Navalny permanently, he couldn't have picked a worse time to involve Germany in a high profile poisoning case when a pipeline (to Germany) crucial to the Russian economy was due to be opened.
Can you skip the line if you are willing to take AZ?
nice! I extended it to a little shell script so it gets written to a file, too.
I want to be on the new wave of Go modules, but a Nix-managed GOPATH works just as well if not better, especially if you use niv to manage the hashes & versioning.

This is considering the fact that nixpkgs has Go module support.

You can even use Nix's recursive, lazy nature to declare dependencies between libraries too in an equally lighweight way as go mod.
I guess I still don't understand the "why", in terms of why someone would use or be interested in the product. What differentiates it?

It would be so helpful if companies talked in terms of some very specific use-cases that their product excels at, and then move to more general capabilities.
Thanks for the freespeech link
It's not like that with Novichok. Iran has published just regular scientific journal articles confirming that they've synthesized Novichok, and it's widely believed that most of the west has synthesized it too.
Those have been around for years, but mostly for car locks. You need a specific one for each kind of lock. They cost about US$40-$80 each, and a full set is maybe 50 of them. For car locks, the make and model of the car tells you which one to use. For door locks, you have to go look at the lock and recognize the keyway, or try different ones. So they're more useful for automotive.

They're really a key recovery tool - you can read out the lock and make a key, as Lock Picking Lawyer does. He has a old manual key originating machine where you can hand-cut a key with specific notches. There are newer CNC machines for that.[1]

This, so much this. Sure businesses were shut down or significantly restricted in the US, but people commingled anyway. You shut down one vector, but everyone flocked to other, unsanctioned ones. We failed at our own attempts because we didn't commit.

Conversely, places like Sweden didn't require significant legal restrictions because they have a sense of societal responsibility. When leaders told them to restrict their movement, they listened. They didn't do it as perfectly as if it were enforced or ordered, but they listened (and probably better than Americans listened).
It was timid, but the CDC has in fact released relaxed mask guidance for vaccinated people.
This is the thing that gets me.

The criticisms of AMP regarding how evil Google has been with it are all valid.

But to the average user that doesn't care (Remember, HN users are anything but average!), AMP is an absolute godsend. Normally when I view a news article on mobile, it's plagued with the scroll jumping around as things load, obnoxious controls, frequent freezing, and just overall a terrible experience.

AMP for the most part fixed all that. Pages load in only a second or two, and once they've loaded, they're smooth to scroll though and STAY smooth.

I don't do web development (Professionally anyways, I've got a couple small <3K LOC pet projects), so I don't understand why the current world is such total garbage. I just went to a few news sites, and the front pages sent me anywhere from 3.5 to 6 MB of JavaScript, and that's even with my ad blocker disabled. And then some of them started sending me even more once I started scrolling.

There's no reason for all this bloat. It does not take 3.5 MB of JavaScript to load content asynchronously and create some menus. And that's minified JavaScript.

So yeah...AMP is here to stay, and the users are grateful.
Indeed, from a quick glance this looks like what I had in mind. Thanks!

Now, how can we make it popular?
So You Want to Study Computer Science (In Europe)?
Yes, but given he was confident they would hit level 5 three years ago, his confidence doesn't seem to be worth much.
There are plenty of shops running Nomad, Cloudflare is probably one of the most prominent ones. Also, due to its simplicity and easy of deployment compare to k8s, my guess is that there is a large amount of small shops running Nomad because they can actually manage it, but those are the exact shops that don't have a public presence or write engineering blog posts.
I'm not sure how kosher this is as it's my own project, but this reminds me of a project I did for college back then:

https://arianv.com/post/cs-180-pathfinding/

It's a python/jupyter project though that's just rendered into html. It's over-engineered and over-explained :D
They talk about a study. The relevant section starts here:

> SAYRE: Christopher Yoo is a law professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He specializes in technology and the Internet. And in his spreadsheet is essentially the story of what happened to other cities that tried to do what Wilson, N.C., was trying to do - build and run their own fiber-optic network.

...

> cities tend to assume these fiber-optic networks will pay for themselves. They borrow millions and millions of dollars and are often screwed because one of a million things goes wrong.

I believe the study is this one:

Man or woman...

It's egoistic to get kids and if you really can't spend the time needed with them, that's pretty egoistic too.
I actually think their real opportunity is reviving Yahoo Messenger / AIM over the top of web sites. Similar to facebook chat functioning at the bottom/side of the screen while browsing facebook, if you are on Yahoo Finance, Fantasy, or any of the news sites, having chat overlayed. Opening Yahoo News to get to chat. It creates this cyclical feedback loop of opening news to get to chat, and opening chat to get to news.

Obviously with desktop no longer being the dominant market, this might not work everywhere, but Yahoo Finance + Yahoo Messenger was at one point the intercom of Wall Street.

And if there was ANYTHING worth reviving from this entire blob, it would be Yahoo Pipes!

I'm also shocked Microsoft wouldnt want a hand in cleaning this up. Migrate Yahoo Mail and AOL Mail into exchange like they did Hotmail. Another stab at the Adtech market, of which they are already partners with this beast. Buy this company and sell the news/dialup divisions. Relaunch AIM and Yahoo Messenger as Skype clients with Yellow / Purple skins, and cross communication. It's not uncommon to sell identical products under different brand badges.
>Any way you slice it, weekday time-with-kids for someone with a normal job is pretty crap.

It's not crap for the kids, and that's all that's important.
At such a large company? Not really. You can certainly start execution of a strategy, and she did, but it takes a long time to turn such a big boat and fully realize a strategic vision.
People probably assume that women are more likely to spend more time with their kids by observing the way that parents interact with their children in primate species (including in humans).

Maybe we should be doing more stuff that supports women being able to have their kids at work with them (if they chose to work) instead of somehow implying that there is worth in forfeiting substantial portions of the healthy parts of your life to improving the efficiency of a cat picture delivery service.
"You might be surprised how much Lisp code there is lurking within big codebases in any given industry"

Yes I am surprised; I always considered it a language primarily popular in computer science departments.

Could posters provide examples of these big codebases?
Ironically, Google News was totally ruined by AMP.
Would the simulations change if we put money into mining asteroids and building facilities near the asteroid belt and built hardware / space vessels that could automatically mine and move asteroids?
Nomad seems great, and I wanted to jump in a lot of times, but I found it hard to do. I'm not sure why though. Setting up a basic project is easy if you follow their tutorials, but at a certain point it just gets confusing, and you end up piecing things together, because you'll need Consul and Vault. So after a while I just got lost. Maybe because I don't live and breathe all the orchestration related jargon.

In my limited experience, and my use-case, I found that dealing with docker-compose and docker stack is much more straightforward, and seems to work out of box.
Most car companies inspire wild enthusiasm and hype. It represents a huge purchase for the majority of Americans, hence they have pretty extreme buy-in for their decisions
> I also don't want the government tracking my internet history in any fashion.

The government already can compel your ISP to hand over that data.
> Financing (credit cards, furniture rentals, payday loans, diversity business loans) has not made poor people in rich countries rich.

Predatory loans are not the whole picture. Stock markets and business loans have made many poor people rich. I know some of them.

> No amount of loans will teach people how to mix concrete or organize an effective workforce.

Student loans can help here.

> I oppose ensnaring third world nations in debt.

The developed world does not have a monopoly on finance. Credit unions and microcredit are possible anywhere, but nevertheless depend on trust and stability.
> They also take every bit of media coming from the major networks as absolute truth and tend to believe things that are really quite rare here happen on a constant basis.

To be fair, Americans also believe this.
But Costco does sell Vodka and wouldn't have made that product if Vodka sold 10% of what it actually sells. Because Amazon sells literally everything, is it a crime to do what Costco does, just on a bigger scale?

The only end-goal that would actually solve the problem fairly is if companies couldn't sell first-party products (or products from a partner where they have a vested interest in) in their store. If you just take care of the one company, you end up with other companies doing the same thing in 20 years like how iOS still has a default music player when MS got burnt for that with having a default browser.
Of course not. But we have to work with the data we have. Which currently says that the vaccine is safer than the disease. Considering hundreds of millions in many different countries have the vaccines it is fairly reasonable to believe that it is safe, considering that we're not seeing deaths associated with it. You always have to do cost/risk balancing. But if a hundred countries are all taking the same action and there's millions of people having already been "experimented" on (some for about a year, i.e. doctors who got the vaccines first) it reasons that there isn't much risk. Countries don't agree that much on anything, not even a pandemic response.
If you make something and sell it in a store, does that mean you're not allowed to sell other people's products in your store?
> Your answer still focuses on something that happens to YOU. If that happens to another person, and they claim it occurred, you are implying that experience wouldn't hold weight to you. From this, I must conclude you believe it is impossible to utilize the scientific method to demonstrate their existence. Is this correct?

No. I'd believe another person if they _credibly_ demonstrate that useful information was conveyed to them from sprits. The more people demonstrate this, the more I'll believe it.

In general, the more extreme the claim is, the better evidence I require to believe it. To put it in concrete terms: Given N reports of 2 different kinds of claims, I'd sooner believe that Harvey Weinstein is a sex pest than we made contact with interdimensional spirit entities.
The "why" is in the second sentence: "Nomad is a simple and flexible orchestrator used to deploy and manage containers and non-containerized applications across on-premises and cloud environments."

If you need a workload orchestrator for heterogeneous workloads (i.e. not just Docker) and need something that is simple then Nomad is for you.
