Yes, it's cool, but this like most sites doesn't have many examples of scientific vis (large dimensional continuous functions). I think scientific visualization is more important for programmers in their job, for debugging/profiling.

>We had some claims automatically paid via computer but most claims were reviewed by human eyes. Humans were trained to look for indicators of fraud. There was no one thing that would get it sent to the fraud department for investigation. We were looking for a pattern or multiple indicators.

Oh, I'm never saying that claims get paid automatically or that humans don't look for fraud too.

I'm saying that there is also software on the back end that flags things to go to the fraud department automatically. Probably without your knowledge. I just remember reading an article about it a while ago - just about how good it has gotten over the years and it has become an important part of the insurance industry.

Just another example of extensive data mining.

When I say "every insurance claim from any insurance company" I mean that I assume any insurance company worth anything would be running such software.

Hi HN!

Jared and I are behind this app. Just wanted to let you know our philosophy and why we're building this.

We want to make it as easy as possible for people to get together, and we want to build a product that makes people more efficient.

Would love to know what you all think!
Hi Rob,

I live in El Centro (and currently work at IVC as the Online Services Architect).

It's neat to see another person from the (Imperial) Valley on here ;-).

Debugging Haskell at assembly level by scripting lldb in Python
In my experience most Uber drivers were taxi drivers, so there is very little difference in that aspect. Sure, every now and then I get a noob that has to put the address into the GPS, but most of the time that is not the case. I have only taken a taxi once (in the bay area) in the last 2 years that I started using Uber and instantly regretted. It cost more, the condition of the car was horrendous, and the driver did not let me use his cable to charge my phone which I was using to call my friend to find the address of his place.
PACKETZOOM ENGINEERING

Burlingame, CA (just south of San Francisco in the bay area) FULL TIME H1B
VISA Transfer ok for the right candidate. TN VISA ok. REMOTE considered for
the perfect candidate

Mobile Networks are different. And yet we continue using the same legacy
protocol stack (TCP/HTTP/SSL) to connect mobile devices to the cloud. If you
want to help change that, come join us.

Packetzoom is rethinking the whole stack from the ground up. You get to hack
network and/or security protocols, innards of mobile operating systems and
build a global distributed system around brand new protocols. It's a very
small (but well funded) team so everyone contributes in everything. But
following two are the roles where we have specific needs to fill right now.

1) SENIOR ENGINEERING LEADER

IF you have shipped products or built services where you (at least) actually
had to deal with unix at the syscall level (either in the userspace or kernel)
in C/C++ code, I want to talk to you. If you've shipped and maintained the
product for a few years, I really want to talk to you. You'd be responsible
for leading the team the team that builds and runs the packetzoom protocol on
mobile clients (iOS, Android and any others we decide to pursue) as well as
our globally distributed cluster of servers. No pressure ;-)

2) UNIX HACKER WITH AN ANDROID BENT

IF you're the kind of person who isn't happy until you've fixed up your
android phone so you can ssh into it to, say, kill offending processes and/or
run cron jobs, I want to talk to you. You'd be responsible for our Android
platform (so you'd be writing some combination of Java and C++ code). In the
process, you'd get to learn all about vagaries of mobile platforms and mobile
networks at the global scale. In addition, you'll have your pick of dozens of
delicious, hard problems to solve in the realm of distributed systems, unix'y
things, iOS stuff, security stuff etc. if you're so inclined.

I'm a Founder/CEO/CTO. You will work directly with me. We're well funded but
still a very small team (< 10 people) So you get to enjoy an early stage team
environment but not so much the high financial risk that goes with such
things

Nope! My spending habits are kinda random and I travel a lot.
Wow, how did I not know about this ExpressionBlock class! There's always another gem waiting in the framework :D

I wish i knew about it about a year ago for a project I did.
It says the encryption is done client-side so a salt would be public.

I know a lot of people here balk at the idea of paying for tooling, but Red Gate's Reflector[1] is absolutely amazing for situations like this. Not only is it a decompiler, but it allows you to decompile at debug-time and step into third party libraries.

Assuming they haven't been obfuscated, this is an extremely useful tool. I've used it to track down a number of issues within Visual Studio itself and within some of the non-open sourced components of Roslyn.

BOX VIEW / CROCODOC

Los Altos, CA (Bay Area / Silicon Valley)

Since Crocodoc (YC W10) joined Box last year, we’ve been expanding our efforts to make documents a seamless part of the web. Our service has converted hundreds of millions of PDFs, PowerPoints, and other documents into beautiful HTML5, and powers core document viewing and annotation functionality for companies like LinkedIn, Zendesk, and UberConference. Composed of Crocodoc and Box engineers, the Box View team is run with the energy and drive of a close-knit start-up, however we have the support and infrastructure of a larger organization. Our stack is built in Python, Django, Celery, Javascript, Jquery and Node, and we support the open source community and contribute back to it. We're nimble and push code almost every day, but because our product reaches tens of millions of users, everything must be bulletproof.

In our free time, the team enjoys playing board games, bughouse chess, and Don't Starve. We brew beer, hike Yosemite, and ski Tahoe.

Job Description:

Since you'll be joining a small technical team, you'll take the lead on core projects from the get-go and often work independently. We can use extra hands in the entire stack, so we'd rather find the right fit for the team than pigeonhole candidates into specific roles. We expect our team members to be driven, self-starting, and effective.

Skills and Qualifications:

We don't like traditional job posting requisitions, so our requirements are short.

1. Know what you know
2. Know what you don't know
3. Ask questions and be willing to learn #2

To get the fastest response, email me at nes@box.com and mention Hacker News. If you want to stalk me on LinkedIn, I'm at http://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholasesilva/
I've been using Timeful since the beta. The "first beta" wasn't very good, but I've been using the second beta every day now for the last week or so - it has improved a lot. It's a really cool product with a solid vision.

The basic gist of it is to collect events (time at place, happens without you), todos and habits (things you want to do regularly) in one place, as well as nudging you with these things in the right circumstances (context awareness - they still have some work to do but it's getting there). It does this based on your custom defined sleep/work/high-focus hours, as well as what you actually end up doing (for example, completing a habit or ticking off a todo).

If you're a fan of Dan Ariely and experience problems with calendars, todo lists and all these fancy systems - and who doesn't? - definitely give it a try.

As for the safety concerns about Grenada. Its one of the fastest Caribbean islands.
You should be pre-cautious since as a foreigner you may be more of a target but you wouldn't find yourself walking down a dodgy street at night in your home country then why do it here in Grenada?
I don't doubt that there are people in Ukraine actually supportive of, and legitimately participating in, that separatist movement.

But that is not, by itself, justification for Russia to intervene, especially unilaterally. It's not, never will be.

Think of the logic: If there were a group of 5,000 Americans living in Russia (who had been forced to move there 50 years earlier during a period of American rule in Russia), and they rebelled against Moscow (after lengthy exhortations and propaganda from D.C.), would you really be OK with America sending military forces to intervene on behalf of those separatists? Would you be OK with America providing very advanced weaponry, passports, military support, intelligence support, international top cover and more, all to support this separatist movement?

Or would you say that it was an internal matter for Russians to resolve amongst themselves, and that other states should stay out of the sovereign territory of the Russian Federation? I can tell you the U.S. certainly didn't want outside intervention during our own civil war.

See, this isn't two states playing covert war games in a third state, this is Ukraine fighting for its sovereignty against a separatist movement (however many legitimate aspects it might contain), with Ukraine's bordering neighbor deliberately intervening to tilt the scales as they wish.

When I do work - I explain to my client that there is no need for my service "to install something" and refer them to less experienced devs who does major work and client invites me to fix something specific, or architect things or something like that. End result - less time billed and more cost effective work.

In the same time other developer can learn stuff and gradually progresses to more advanced level.

Contrast this to any handyman or plumber - they always seems to charge $50+/hr and $75+/hr no matter how simple task is at hands. And I bet if I had to deal with serious stuff, this rate would only go up. I.e. what they do is comparable to installing wordpress for $10/hr work. This is my problem.

Two pieces of advice:

(1) Consider choosing a different name. The word "mite" has a negative connotation for some people. For example, I am allergic to dust mites. Mites are gross, microscopic bugs that poop on everything and make me sick. :(

(2) Get someone fluent in English to proofread the copy on your home page. I have a young son, so I am in your target demographic, but the ESL gives me enough of a bad impression that I probably would not give you my email address.

Good luck! It sounds like it could be an interesting product (although I'm not sure I understand what it is, exactly).
The see-also links below this article are pretty interesting too.
That's the key word that should let you know an attempt at humor was imminent.
"And I'm not even touching middle east and africa where civil war without end seems to be the norm."

Nothing new in this, Im afraid to say.
Anyone know the leading emulator (or similar) for running OSX programs on linux distros [Kubuntu in my case]? Is there even anything serviceable? I guess I'm after the WINE of OSX.
GPL code you CANNOT link in anyway without your code being infected by the GPL license terms, dynamically or statically. You CAN invoke tools written in GPL just not the code (unless that GPL license has something like a classpath exception).

The are also exceptions for libraries provided by OS. (Which is why you can GPL code on Windows which links a proprietary libc from Microsoft).

Apple gets away with calling GCC because it's a different application being invoked by it's natural interface in the same way that Xcode invokes git internally. (And also why people use the libgit2 project when they need to call git as a library which licensed under LGPL with the classpath exception).

Now LGPL is an entirely different story. LGPLv2 was intended that you be able to replace dynamically linked libraries in an application. The changes you made the library must be open sourced and I should be able to replace that library as a user.

In theory you satisfy the requirements of the LGPL license if you wanted to statically link though if provide the objects and archives of your code if you wanted to statically link with LGPL code, but doing this was not really well defined in the license as valid. In LGPLv3 they clarified this is totally valid and allowed.

The interesting thing is that LGPL was a license best written for C libraries at dynamical library level and breaks down in a few cases for different languages. It also breaks down where you have inlining and code getting embedded from headers that would break the ability in some cases for you to be able to change the library and relink. Implementation details of vtables, etc can get embedded too that would make it impossible to change the library.

This is why during the GNU Classplath project (to replace the Java Classpath before Java went GPL anyways), they added the "classpath exception" to GPL itself instead of using LGPL. See here for details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPL_linking_exception
Really showing my blind ignorance here. I'm not exactly a fan of for profit hospitals, but why wouldn't they open up vast numbers of residency positions?

I'd assume they can charge whatever they want for resident's time, and add enough peer review to keep malpractice costs down. I'd also assume it's much cheaper to use a resident than a (not sure of the term) practicing physician (?)
Reef – Towards a Big Data StdLib
The President has/had almost nothing to do with this...

This was a Congress victory for the people (Both House and Senate, and both Dems and Reps).
A company called PSI had this idea in the early 2000s, and built a binary translation layer much faster than Hercules which ran z/OS on Itanium.

They rapidly got sued by IBM, tried to counter-sue on antitrust / unfair competition grounds, and (amusingly, when you consider the suit) ended up selling to IBM instead.

In addition to patents and the standard "thou shalt not reverse engineer" licensing clause, IBM also contractually bind their customers to run z/OS on only their hardware, although they also maintain a first-party emulator for development and test situations which don't demand a real zSeries.

I don't think Hercules would do fantastically as a commercial fork anyway - it's a great tool for play and development, but using it also basically eliminates any of the reasons to buy a mainframe in the first place - you certainly don't get lock-step / verified execution, lots of IO channels, or hot-swappable core hardware by using an emulator.
I noticed PG tweeted this article yesterday. Interesting article. Maybe PG voted for it on HN, and maybe his vote has a lot of weight.
I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass
(I am not charging $43, but I have friend who had hard time explaining why he is charging $27 for working on the Drupal project, eventually they end up not working together)

Basically, you answered my original question with "You underestimate value of work you do." Thanks for you opinion :)
It's an interesting article with some interesting thoughts. However, unit tests are - for me - a crucial framework and also a main pillar in my project planning process: If unit tests are written before the actual code, it is immensely useful to define goals in terms of what you want the function - that you are going to write - should actually do and not do.

And especially throwing away passing unit tests is a waste, not the unit test itself. Eventually you, or someone else, wants to make edits to existing code. Unit tests are extremely useful to check if everything "still works"
No worries. When you said "Explaining the impact of technical debt ... is almost impossible," I thought you (or others) might be interested in a good way to explain it. This analogy has helped me, so I hope others may find it useful.
To reply to myself, the thrust you'd get from a laser that shoots at you would in fact diminish as you accelerate away from it, as the light would redshift and thus carry less energy to you.
And the companies from the 70s (Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle) are doing their damndest to make sure they kill one from the 90s (Google).
Just played a bit with it. http://goo.gl/q8lT9B
There is still a lot to be done, but Thanks :)

As for the map, I'm not responsible for that matter; but AFAIK it was specifically asked! Besides, every single detail is carefully highlighted manually, so we could say it's more precise than Google Maps (plus the sanctions situation). and as I mentioned in a replay to another comment, KFZ Org. provides local business information; so it basically contains (should contain) every single business and public service available on the island.

Hailing a cab is not similar to using uber. Cabs you never know what to expect. The driver is rude, they tell you the credit card machine is broken, the car is in horrible condition.

With uber you consistently get a pleasant experience.
