I've done something vaguely along these lines in the disassembler which is part of my Chip8 IDE[1]. I take advantage of the fact that the ISA is register-rich (16 general-purpose registers) but individual registers are only 8 bits wide, making it feasible to propagate value sets per register. This allows me to perform fairly precise analysis for situations like jump tables, identifying unreachable entries and code/data overlap. Like most static analysis techniques it still runs into brick walls for code which relies heavily on self-modification.

We can live perfectly healthy lives without meat. That said, I have no problem killing an animal that lived a full non-tortured life for food. I do think we owe more than buying the expensive whole foods meat. I think we should all go through the experience of killing a cow, pig, lamb, and chicken. Killing animals shouldn't be completely abstracted away from society - we need to understand what we are doing in a hands on way.

What’s the Pressure Inside an Exploding Whale?
As a vegetarian you do the same thing. You kill living things to eat them, you simply choose to kill living things that don't have a nervous system. That is, you kill living things that you perceive are unable to appreciate that they are alive. Although plants do transmit electro-chemical signals across their regions, which could be argued as a rudimentary nervous system. They also get damaged and heal, they get sick, grow, reproduce, and respond to interactions with the environment.

We're not talking about whether or not killing is wrong, but rather where on the gradient of developed nervous system-like behavior is it ethically okay to kill something. Many people have chosen a higher point on the gradient than you have, but that by no means implies that it's okay to kill anything along the full spectrum. You've simply chosen a lower cut off point than others.
That's a good point which I had not considered. I assumed the delay was at the behest of lobbyists, because >90% of the complaints I've seen are from doctors and small clinic administrators, and the medical coding industry is suffering a rather severe labor shortage right now, which is driving wages up at the same time ICD-10 is expected to reduce productivity by about 50% (in terms of # of records processed, although the coding will be of far higher quality). Also, the government's own website seem pretty well organized so I assumed they had the backend stuff squared away.

It's not just a matter of hiring more people and training them quickly - medical coding is an accredited position requiring some 700 hours of training including classes in anatomy and other introductory medical topics. (I'm not a medical coder, I'm just quite interested in this topic because of family background - Dad was a national public health executive in Ireland, my sister's a clinician, and I had some early work experience in both administrative and clinical contexts).

Why? Is it because in your sheltered view of reality all religions are reformed, and everyone is just longing to live by the values you believe in?

Please. Just as smaller cults that are considered to be dangerous. The freedom of religions that have something to say about who lives and who dies should be "reconsidered".

5 Things Observed Joining a Venture-Backed Consumer Startup
For someone who doesn't seem to have a startup in any of those categories this just comes off as pretty ignorant / jealous in that people genuinely wanted a cooler more than any of your 5+ startups.
Careful with your analogy - recall your history here, Nazism does not define "wholesale slaughter of jews", they were a political party. Majority of the Nazi party, military, and regime had no clue about the "wholesale slaughter of jews" until after the war. Most knew about the imprisonment, similar to the internment camps here in the US during the war, but the actual executions were kept very down-low. Of the ones that did know about the executions en mass, majority had issue with it, and famously some officers defected, some tried to assassinate Hitler, and some were themselves imprisoned for not cooperating and going along.

The point is, just because there are a few who use their religion, affiliations, or power to drive forward an agenda, does not mean the entire mass thinks or feels the same way.

There are two kinds of studies I hate in the world of nutrition; this is one of them. This is the glorified ad study, where we look at a specific food item and a specific "good" trait and line them up. Once aligned, we let the marketers go to town because this food magically "solves" the problem (but we will still qualify with language like "may help" to prevent law suits).

Add an apple to your current obesigenic diet and you will still have an obesigenic diet. Replace some corn chips, bread or cake in your obesigenic diet with an apple, and you are a step closer to it not being obesigenic (but the same applies to kale, steak, and strawberries). Include apples as part of your whole foods, higher fat, lower sugar diet (aka healthy), and you will still have a whole foods, higher fat, lower sugar diet.

Nothing in the diet exists in isolation. You have to consider the whole diet.

That's a good observation by Franklin, but in so many ways we like to think of ourselves as superior than animals. An animal doing something is a poor justification for a human doing something.

Thank you for that quote, this resonates with me strongly. One of the bigger sources of my stress is that internal narrative of "I can't do awesome things because my job takes away all my time". This quote encourages me to re-evaluate my attitude now.
Lets do some back of the envelope calculations:

- US taxes paid in 2013: $5.4 trillion [1]

- Number of tax returns filed in 2013: 134,349,000 [2]

This works out to $N per tax return.

N = (5.4 x 1000000000000) / 134,349,000

N = $40,193

Sooo, if your tax return had you paying less than $40K in taxes you may be a "freeloader" since you are not paying your share. ;-)

Most things aren't 100% effective, and I don't think anyone is claiming that Zmapp is. The FDA only requires drugs to be effective for a significant portion of users, not 100%.

The FDA's definition of effective is:
“There is reasonable assurance that a device is effective when it can be determined, based upon valid scientific evidence, that in a significant portion of the target population, the use of the device for its intended uses and conditions of use, when accompanied by adequate directions for use and warnings against unsafe use, will provide clinically significant results.”

The mom. Here's the portion explaining that:

The identity of the couple in Sweden has not been released, but it is known the mother still had functioning ovaries.

The couple went through IVF to produce 11 embryos, which were frozen. Doctors at the University of Gothenburg then performed the womb transplant.

Which makes it sound like eggs from her ovaries were used for the IVF.
What a ridiculous comment. Animals are currently farmed according to profitability. Why do you reject another preference measure (intelligence)?

WebSharper is completely agnostic in this regard, so the question boils down to what is available for F#.

The idiomatic way to deal with databases is using one of the available type providers. Basically, a TP generates types at compile time, in a way that actually plays quite nicely with IntelliSense [1]. In the case of db TPs, they're parameterized by a connection string and connect to the db to extract the schema and generate the appropriate types. Several exist [2]; SqlDataConnection and SqlEntityConnection are built-in, FSharp.Data.SqlClient and FSharp.Data.SqlProvider are community contributed. They all use query expressions (basically, F#'s extensible version of LINQ syntax) except SqlClient which directly uses SQL in a string (but still checks the query at compile time and passes arguments cleanly, thanks to the TP) and is therefore more like a (safer) micro-ORM.

I believe that control is limited. Even with copious amounts of money, not all technology is possible, or possible right now; e.g., flying cars, nuclear fusion, quantum computing. Corporations have some leeway in choosing what to invest in but they are predominantly driven by short-term considerations of profitability. I think that in the longer term, technology is something that happens to us while we're busy making other plans (paraphrasing Woody Allen).
>>We can live perfectly healthy lives without meat.

Perhaps and with great care a diligence. Ask anyone who has tried to body build vegan, getting complete ammino acids takes planing. All the reverted vegans I know say they feel much better now. And being a vegan can be more unhealthy if you replaced the meat that was in your diet with carbs/sugars.

It is far more healthy to eat a diet without grain/carbs IMHO if you are choosing one thing to improve health.

Want to be in fat burning mode (ketonic)? Done.
Want to cure your type II diabetes? Done.
Want to lower your blood pressure? Done.
Want to raise your HDL and lower your triglycerides? Done.
Want to lower your cancer risk (est. 60-90% of tumors can't run off ketone bodies, but require sugars)? Done.
Want to have better dental health? Done.
Want to have consistent energy all day? Done.

Based on everything I have read and learned it is my strong (but open to change) opinion that the natural human diet was consistent daily consumption of vegetables/leafy greens (esp. low starch ones), occasional fruit and occasional gluttonous consumption of animal products as community members made kills.

That is to say, I think humans evolved for a ketogenic diet (< 20 grams of carbs/day) and that is why it makes so many people healthier, independent of choosing to have a caloric deficit.

Ask HN: How do you find affordable but capable remote developers?
Hello!

I've finally gotten my business to the point that I NEED to hire on at least one subcontractor to take over some of the development work on my plate.

My first thought was to hire out of the Philippines, as I'd heard from a couple of online business bloggers I know that there are a lot of very capable folk willing to work for what amounts to a large sum for them but a small one for me.

I'm just concerned, I guess, about hiring anyone, much less a foreign worker, for no other reason than I'm scared to "let go" as it were and trust ANYONE.

To that end, I need to find someone capable in PHP -- most of my projects are currently built on a "custom" codebase (all my spaghetti code from 10 years of work) as I'd gotten too busy to keep up with the latest frameworks and such. I would LIKE, however, to get someone who can work with me to transition to Laravel/Symfony (I'm not ready to go to Rails/Node, I don't think).

Anyone have advice for where/how to find quality developers that fit the bill? I can't quite afford to hire at American full-time rates, but I need full-time work. May be crappy of me, but there it is -- I'm in that weird limbo that I MUST get out of.

Thanks a million!
I honestly can not come up with a comfortable moral basis for eating meat derived from sentient animals. I do it anyway, mostly out of practical concerns, but I really hope artificial growth technology picks up over the next few years and tank-grown meat becomes viable.
You said two very different things:

the American Dream was not a possiblity for everyone

and

No rational person thinks it is easy in the United States to go from being low-income to high-income. But hopefully also no rational person thinks it is "not a possibility for everyone" as you first said.

I went from a very low-income family to very high-income myself, so I know it is possible.
We are animals that eat animals. You are putting too much thought into it.
Bluntly, I guess there are smart jobs and dumb jobs. The demand for smart jobs should be practically infinite - where now you have a doctor, a lawyer, a childminder and an accountant, in the future you might also have a geneticist, a landscape gardener, tutors, designers, trainers, dieticians, researchers, risk managers, handymen... There will probably also always be a need for dumb jobs, but perhaps the difference will be that they cannot be the backbone of an entire economy.
Yes, thanks for clearing that up... somebody else posted that link here and I got confused.
Nah, not bad software (even though most medical software can be horrifically bad). Nope. Incompetent, indifferent or uninformed people (or all of the above). The number of people in the US who have virtually no clue of what is going on in the world is staggering. They can tell you the latest news about Miley of Bieber. Ask them "What's going on in Liberia" and you are far more likely to get a blank stare than an intelligent response. Ask them "Where is Liberia?" extra credit.

So you have a guy with a fever come into the ER saying he just got back from West Africa and, in a huge number of cases, that is likely to be met with "Cool! Got pictures?".

Even if the hospital had no computers, informed and knowledgeable providers would immediately escalate the patient based on two simple bits of data: West Africa + Fever. Someone with more information than the latest on Miley's ass-shaking antics might even ask: "How close were you to the ebola-afflicted area?". In this case the answer to that question should have resulted in immediate isolation and further actions.

You can't blame computers and software for everything.

I'd agree that the line in this case seems to be quite arbitrary but I'd respectfully suggest that it's not fair to say individuals whom eat meat having not given it much thought.

Although that may be true for some people, myself and many people I've talked to have given it significant amounts of thought and simply not found a sufficiently compelling argument against it.

It seems unfair to suggest, and apologies in advance if this wasn't the intention of your comment, that people who eat meat automatically do so due to lack of thought rather than having considered the options and positively chosen it as a course of action.
I never said they would.

But for a while Germany had StudiVZ and MeinVZ. After a while FB became more popular, people with some international friends joined at first, and after a while everyone else did and the other networks basically starved. It was sad to watch, especially since many (local) groups there and parts of the UI were IMHO much nicer than what's on FB today.
Eh?

You do a really good job advertising the cooler, but after reading this short little rant I still have no idea what it is you do and why I should feel bad for not having thrown money at it.

Maybe you suck at basic economics. Maybe you should start selling coolers.
Also, related to series you have a few film directors who command some of that strength. Tarantino comes to mind, though it's an interesting example because there's a sort of common universe underlying the movies. However as you go more niche/cult you'll probably find small communities who wait dearly on the author's next work, be it a film or a book.

Oh it can be. Typically, if I need to do some text transformation or extraction, I start by getting sample data and renaming it to a .txr suffix. Then just generalize that data into the TXR pattern that matches it and gets out what is needed.

As an example, I was doing some kernel work and needed patches to conform to the kernel's "checkpatch.pl" script. Unfortunately, this thing outputs diagnostics in a way that Vim's quickfix doesn't understand; I wanted to be able to navigate among the numerous sources of errors in the editor.

First I looked at the checkpatch.pl script hoping that of course they would have the diagnostic output in one place, right? Nope: formatting of messages is scattered throughout the script by cut-and-paste coding.

That's not obvious. The will to live is strong everywhere, and that cows don't speak "human" isn't to say they don't have a will to live (not be eaten). Nor that we can't speak "alien" any sign that we don't have a will to live (not be eaten).
