> Perhaps, if you just didn't bother reading my comment.

I assure you I did read your comment. Carefully and multiple times.

I disagree with it as I wrote. Doesn't mean that I didn't read it.

> This is why luck is insignificant - even if you do very badly, you'll still succeed.

I really don't understand your reasoning here. She was lucky. Random things turned out well enough for her so she could tell her story and let us hear it. That is where the luck is significant. You can't argue from the fact that she was lucky, that luck wasn't significant.

If she wasn't lucky and the jaguar eat her, if she wasn't lucky and the poisoned arrow killed her, if she wasn't lucky and the chief she mocked have executed her we would not know about her.

She didn't survive because she was so careful with things. She didn't survive because her environment was free of dangers. She survived because she rolled the darwinian roulette wheel (multiple times) and things happened to work out randomly well enough for her to survive. Therefore the role of luck is significant.

You are basically saying "well it worked out okay, so what is the fuss about it". But some of these things only worked out for her due to luck. I read your comment (multiple times!) and still confused how can you can think that the role of luck is insignificant. Especially when you agree that the jaguar could have killed her.

> But that was not a risk for a normal Yanomamo woman.

Ok? Two things. One: What do we care? We are talking about Helena and the significance of luck in her life. Even if the normal Yanomamo woman were 100% impervious to jaguar attacks wouldn't change anything about Helena. The jaguar is a danger to her. Avoiding it is up to luck for her.

Two: how do you know? Do you have some good data source on the relative probabilities on jaguar attacks on the normal Yanomamo woman? Or just making assumptions? For all we know it might be danger to everyone living in that environment.
> The Scrum Guide would have you believe there are only two appropriate questions to ask a Product Owner

A lot of people over-interpret rigid hierarchy’s, when Scrum is supposed to be the opposite.

From the actual scrum guide: https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html

> The Product Owner is also accountable for effective Product Backlog management… The Product Owner may do the above work or may delegate the responsibility to others. Regardless, the Product Owner remains accountable.

It’s entirely compatible with Scrum for the engineers to sit with customers and come up with backlog items, and the PO to take the role of ensuring backlog quality and reviewing strategic direction of the work items being added by developers.

Things should not panic a lot, and when I’m going over someone else’s Rust code I will discourage them to use panic at all if it’s socially appropriate.

Inasmuch as I am aware, the correct usage of panic is “there is no way to recover from this without leaving the application in an undefined state”.

Not “a file I expected to exist wasn’t there” or “the user gave bad input” or “I didn’t implement this feature yet”.

But more like “a cosmic ray must have struck the machine or something, because this ought to be logically impossible.”

Or pretty much, if you literally don’t see a mechanism in Rust that can pass an error upwards and the program also cannot continue execution without the result being affected, then you panic.

That’s a little stricter than what I understand the official guidance is, but not much.

If you have something panicking it should be less “I can’t see what’s going on” and more “thank god it stopped itself so it didn’t write bogus data to production.”
There is also much confusion about how food actually goes bad. There are some foods that absolutely should be avoided after a specific amount of time. But most will go bad somewhat randomly, mostly after but often before their sell/best by dates. Sometimes a jug of milk will be bad before it even arrives at a store. Sometimes mold will appear on fresh bread very suddenly. Food is more complicated than fixed dates.

I was buying eggs recently when I, as my mother taught me, opened the case and checked to see if any had cracked. The person beside me said "I hope you are buying those" as if me touching them somehow made them unsellable. People need to learn more about food.
You don't need a separate site for that. Some LinkedIn "quick apply" applications have exactly those sorts of questions. ("How many years of experience do you have with Toolname?" or "Do you have more than 8 years experience in the Foobar industry?"

That's how App Engine worked in 2008, and it looks like it still works that way:

This is not a Product Owner problem, nor a Scrum problem. Get ready for some No True Scotsmanning:

The product backlog is a collection of User Stories. The user story describes a problem and starts out as a placeholder for a discussion in the team to figure out what the problem is and how we can solve it.

The Product Owner prioritizes these problems against eachother. The team members can communicate. Talking is not forbidden, in fact it is encouraged.
The comment is not something someone would say to a person they intend to treat as a peer. I personally wouldn't post a comment like that unless I thought the person I was talking about was a danger to other people, regardless of how I felt.

Also, if I was Marcan or Lina^, then I would probably be the type of person who would like to read and participate in Hacker News, but would likely not because of that type of comment. (I suspect I could have found more toxic ones if I searched harder. This was in the first result) Since they have in effect been excluded from Hacker News, it feels fair to me that they put up an easily bypassable barrier to inform people visiting their site that they have been excluded, and what can be done to fix that.

^ I neither know nor care if the two are the same. I haven't reviewed the evidence, and it's bad internet educate to try and dig up someone's anonymous persona, so I won't try.

I'm a med device engineer and have watched the hopes and dreams of cuffless BP monitoring tech. I hope we get there as it will be hugely important. However, remember tech is only a small part of the battle. We need to figure out clinically what to do with all this new continuous data.

I am very sceptical PPG alone will be capable for many reasons. Aktiia does indeed have European regs clearance. But, they don't have FDA clearance. The FDA is a very different beast (more hands on - and they'll be absolutely much more heavy with such a new approach) - and they must have concerns on the approach for it to take this long. The FDA even has accelerated programmes for breakthrough high impact tech as they really do want it to get to market safely.

The main cuffless FDA cleared devices I know measure the pulse transit time betwen a central ECG patch and a peripheral based PPG (that time is then calibrated to a BP with the Moens Kourteweg equation) - see Biobeats watch and a now defunct wearable ICU monitor company I can't find the name of.

The issue with PPG is that it is wildly sensitive. The PPG waveform morphology will changed dramatically based on the pressure of the sensor against the skin, unconstrained changes in orientation of the human and arm etc. Changes in morphology != changes in system wide BP.

Speak to an anaesthesiologist and they'll tell you blood pressure is function many things eg cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, blood volume, total peripheral resistance etc etc (https://www.sharinginhealth.ca/multimedia/images/blood_press...). The question is whether PPG alone can measure all these things. I suspect it's really just measuring lots of proxies of all these things. And that's fine - however in the presence of people with conditions or on therapeutics that alter these in very personalised and unpredictable ways then error may start to creep in on free living measurement. Paradoxically, it's probably these people for whom this tech would have most impact - not the worried well.

> It's bad if you're a search engine. It's not as bad if you're a human who is capable of parsing natural language semantics.

I am a human capable of parsing natural language semantics, and "use by" is terrible. It's one of those completely unexplained commands you often find in instructions. Why should I use it by that date? If you're not a mindless drone who just unquestioningly follows instructions, the total lack of reason creates a lot of space to decide to do something else. For instance: without consulting California food labeling legislation (which, I admit, Californians all carry around the statute book those regulations several times a day), it's reasonable to interpret "use by" as "best if used by," for instance.

They should use clearer language because they can and have no excuse not to.

The intrinsic ambiguity about the contents of a memory address create many opportunities to inadvertently create strict aliasing violations.

So how would do this in Rust, if at all? (That's the context of this subthread and the admonition not to play type punning games.)

Rust assumes noalias even for objects of the same type, and that's because the entire language is built on the foundational assumption that you cannot have both a mutable and immutable reference (or two mutable references) to the same object alive at the same time.

Go people will do this and they'll be content:

a := []int{1,2,3,4}
it := slices.All(a)
it = slices.Reverse(it)
it = slices.Map(it)
it = slices.Filter(it, func(i int) bool { return i % 2 == 0 })
slices.ForEach(it, func(i int) { fmt.Println(i) })

I don't judge the Go enjoyers, but I prefer writing TypeScript to Go which says it all.

Type-inferred arrow lambda for function arguments would go such a long way in making this code nicer... And not make compilation slower at all.

it = slices.Filter(it, i => i % 2 == 0)
slices.ForEach(it, i => fmt.Println(i))
