Many C. diff patients have recent history of dental procedures or surgeries. Dentist's often prescribe an inappropriate amount of ciprofloxacin to the patient. The cipro is pretty broadspectrum and knocks out majority of the gut flora but leaves the C.diff in tact (~10% of population have c.diff in their gut but it doesn't case harm). When they finish their 2 doses of cipro (inappropriate dosing by the dentist) the C.diff is left with this nice clean gut, free of competition. The c.diff flourishes and causes CDI(CDAD) C.diff Infection (C.diff associated diarrhea).

They moved to a DVCS to solve some of the workflow issues, then Linus created git in large part because of the licensing issues.

Another detail missed in my previous post: If I remember rightly there were a couple of F/OSS DVCS's in development at the time, but he chose to write his own as some of them were not yet near stable and the others didn't quite work the way he wanted. I dimly recall some criticism for choosing a commercial product prior to git, and that decision was for much the same reasons git was created instead of using one of the other available options.

I feel the same way. As a solution I always refer to job description to ballpark what the company prepare to offer.

1. If the company are looking for the best. Up to you.

2. If its for normal, somewhat replaceable job(meaning you have equivalent colleague on that position). Median between the company and your location.

3. If its for menial task. You're usually bounded by your location average salary, or even lower.

The most interesting part to me is that the comments rant about the new app instead of discussing the security issue. Their users really want to be heard.

Maybe he could receive the money in Bitcoin and spend it as he needs?

What a nice and insightful follow up though. Too often, we think our job is done and move on to the next keyboard warrior crusade.

This experience is reflection of how we don't always think about how people who are truly less fortunate can be tied to money as much as people who have more of it.

Everyone has the right to have the opportunity to work through their stuff. Not being able to have the basic necessities similarly can prevent you from pursuing one's inner growth, when the next place to eat or sleep is the real struggle.

It's a collective failure of our society in many ways, if we are quick to judge and trivialize anyone's experience of their existence without taking a minute to turn any stranger into a person by learning their story and participating in humanity by treating others with unconditional dignity.

There was good in this journey that should continue:

- The heart was in the right place. Giving in the right mindset is all one can do.

- Something positive came of this, namely someone has learned a new skill. We all feel more empowered when we can create the smallest new habit, let alone a new talent altogether.

- Like everyone deserves, they are working through their stuff.

I can't help but wonder if there's more like this that could be happening in other cities. Ultimately it will reach who is ready to find and take their next step, and it's not our job to create change, only help plant seeds and encourage the gardener to give it the water and sunshine it needs.

At the end of the day only we can learn our own lessons, and we have a choice in supporting and encouraging each other to do so. Sounds hokey to some, but once you have the right supportive circle in your life, there's nothing like it.

Hopefully the sharing of this experience doesn't turn people away from trying to improve it, no effort is perfect the first time.

There are few skills like programming that can turn someone's fortunes around this day in age, whether we are homeless, or not, and everyone deserves an opportunity to see what they can be, and become.

Absolutely.

MS is full of architecture astronauts (along with super smart people, who do useful things - but the arch people are in charge) that sit around and contemplate all these bizarre use cases for things that no one actually has. Then, since MSFT believes they have little/no competition in the space, they spend years developing this grand vision and dumping it on their customers, who then attempt to figure out what parts of this vision are useful and what parts are bunk.

Microsoft then looks at what happens, sees the work arounds, and rewrites the whole thing again to accommodate not only those use cases, but a whole host of other imagined ones, too.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Open source generally doesn't have this problem, as a) some developer was scratching their own itch, so the problem is real b) doesn't have unlimited time and budget, so they have to keep it small and evolve, and c) relies on developer's contributions, so it has to be marketable.

> I think that most homeless people have severe mental illness

This is another stigma that's counter-productive. The real number is somewhere between 20-25% suffering from severe mental illness, which is still very high, though not so high when you consider 22% of Americans suffer from some kind of a mental illness (only 6% of Americans are severely mentally ill). Mental illness is only the third largest cause of homelessness for single adults.

To add to your point: poverty causes something like a 13% drop in the IQ, similar to pulling an all-nighter every day for a week.

Going by the rest of this thread, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they are doing something insane like committing multi-gigabyte objects regularly, and then only checking out with a low clone depth.

I've seen people attempt that before; without fail people who are deeply in centralized version control land and do not bother to understand git before attempting to switch to it (because it is trendy, or because people under them won't stop complaining about using svn in 2014).
> That's too bad; I know that threads were very unstable and buggy, but I wish they had been improved them instead of considering them "to have been mistakes".

No snark: Patches welcome. There have been people who tried to implement better threads for Perl ( https://metacpan.org/release/threads-tbb , https://metacpan.org/release/threads-lite ). However the task is such a monumentally difficult one, that unless you have considerable ressources available (Java, Go), you're unlikely to get a very good implementation of them (Python, Perl). Perl being entirely volunteer-developed means that there currently simply is nobody with both the knowledge, and the available time, to do this. If you think you can do it, or know someone who can, please by all means give it a try.
Go was never a class of C and Rust. Maybe it becomes once, but at the moment I observe it as a kind of server-side Java replacement: by the current design it simply can't be as low level as C and Rust. The main difference with Java is that it compiles to he native code and not bytecode. Still it is dependent on its own special conventions, GC and libraries.

The confusion comes from the announcements of the Go team where they claimed a "systems programming language" where they, it seems, didn't mean "operating systems" but more "some user-space programs on our servers," that is, their in-house user-space "systems." They of course discovered that the only group who saw possible benefits were programmers that would otherwise use languages like Python but liked extra speed and convenience of a compiled language. The other group were those that liked Go's concurrency primitives.
> Much though some people might think that spreadsheets are not for serious work, they're being used for that right now, and that is unlikely to change. Better to figure out how to improve the tooling, rather than undertake the quixotic quest to get business people to abandon their perfectly viable programming tool.

Its largely used by business people because they (1) have inadequate IT support to have things developed using proper tooling, and (2) have been forbidden from using better tooling themselves by IT. Since both of these are direct products of IT policy, I don't think its a quixotic quest to fix it -- however, trying to fix it by trying to convince them to just give it up is the wrong approach. The people who need to be convinced to change the situation are CIOs.

>Leo very probably wouldn't have gotten close to $10,000 had there been no coverage of his story.

In the article, Patrick claims he didn't want media attention. Who knows how well the app would have performed without it. Lets say it made $7,000 instead of $10,000 but Patrick gained the privacy and dignity to work out issues with Leo without the endless media attention. Maybe that would have worked out better. Generally, media attention makes sensitive things of this nature worse, not better.

>As for society, we get to have this conversation

What conversation exactly? Are the people who are watching the Today show talking about mental healthcare? It seems like this is the cheap "make easy money now, even a homeless person can do it" narrative, except with an undercurrent of "hard work fixes all!" Apparently, it doesn't.

>That's an admirable position, but that's a completely different story.

I don't think so. I think the story is so focused on the money, but not the well-being or core issues Leo faces, most of which look like mental illness to me.

>then segued arbitrarily into editorializing over health care?

Heaven forbid we ask why Leo can't handle the idea of a bank account. The idea that its rational and sane to lose $10k is laughable. The guy clearly has problems. The question that's obvious and should be asked for by a compassionate society is why can't Leo get the care he needs? The money, fame, attention, etc are all secondary. Ironically, the money isn't helping him get what he needs because he's literally too dysfunctional to turn it into to healthcare.
Linkbait title? The OP is actually balanced. Sharing economy uses idle resources efficiently, allows more cottage industry. But it also avoids taxes (why is that evil?) and more importantly avoids inspections and standards conformance.
He probably has plenty of unpaid fines from the police too, as every homeless person is typically hounded with loitering and other petty fines that a collection agency would grab from his account.

But possibly he made this particular homeless man happier. Not being homeless is, in my opinion, a good goal, but it shouldn't be seen as an end unto itself.

Users make mistakes, users given the power to work with computers that can cause billions of $ to be traded can cause billions of $ in losses. The solution would seem to be to limit the exposure, to put a cap on the amount of $ that a user could trade without going through some form of verification.

Spreadsheets may not be ideal, but they're the poor mans gate to programming and I suspect they don't have a bug incidence that is much greater than regular software developed by programmers.

Of course the programmers would love to believe otherwise.

Mind-boggling inefficiency.

I made a similar product (albeit a lot less refined) for a hackathon, using the Pebble. It counted number and type of tennis shots, displayed useful HUD data, and then let you see pretty graphs in a desktop webapp. Some problems I ran into:

If you have acceleration, to get position, you have to integrate twice, which means two unknown constants, really throwing off your data accuracy. To fix this, the user would have to go back to a defined position (perhaps the tennis 'ready' position) frequently, but that isn't guaranteed or user friendly. They could absolutely work around this with some refined heuristics, but I wasn't able to get one working in the few hours I had.

The algorithms are the hard part. I was using naive machine learning techniques to identify swings and such, and they were not nearly adequate; I had many false positives. If they can get all of the stats they claim, I'll be very impressed.
