MedXT is not a viewer. It's an exchange product with a viewer. Large COs like GE (Siemens), Fuji, McKesson, are not even close to having the exchange capabilities like MedXT. It's a super strategic move for Box to buy them, Radiology is slowly moving into collaboration, and Box is now the largest vendor of collaborative Radiology.

The existing libgreen will be moved out to a Cargo library. You just won't be able to seamlessly switch between the two like you did before, you'll have to explicitly use the green threading API instead.
So using this tool and building scripts in it just ties users to yet another vendor, right?

In that case, if you are already tied to Oracle why not just use their tools rather than something like this? Oracle's tools will hopefully work in lock-step with their releases and there should be no support lag.

This looks neat, but why add another layer of lock-in to yet another vendor with the uncertainty that entails?
Intrusive: Depends on how sensitive you are about stuff like this. They're only going to be screening flights from the worst hit West African countries. It's a temperature check before you get on the flight, and another one after. We've had way more intrusive security measures in place for EVERY person flying in the past (and present).

Expensive: More expensive than not doing it, sure. There's only about ~150 people entering the U.S. daily from the Liberia+Sierra Leone+Guinea. The screens will be performed using digital thermometers. The cost should be relatively low.

Demonstrably Irrational: It's not really irrational to take the potential for public hysteria surrounding this issue very seriously. If people believe that we're just letting at-risk people travel freely between W. Africa and the United States then things are going to get very nasty the moment Patient 1 shows up (P0 died a few days ago). CDC (Frieden) admits that the checks might make people feel safer but the real focus needs to be on containment in Africa. Everything else is going to be a half measure by comparison.
Very neat. Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to write the above comment?
Yeah, a bland meal or five isn't going to kill you. You learn as you go. Salt and pepper goes a long way, and experimenting is a big part of cooking. And there are lots of recipes a quick google away to use as a starting point.
The code is just strange. To support Redis, it has a 2,500 line Redis adapter. It has special cases for each Redis command because it doesn't extract key position information from Redis directly.

Plus, despite the name and where it's hosted, Twitter never used it in production for Redis. Redis support was just added "because we can."

It probably works for very direct use cases, but it's one of those things that could probably bite you very severely under edge cases, and you'd be left on your own to figure out what happened.

That's what I intended as part of 'if you need the precision.' You're absolutely right that even if the beginning and end are floats, you may want to do the intermediate calculations as a double.

First off, sorry I was rude yesterday. I tried three different demos and all of them were asking for either FB login or something and got annoyed I couldn't try it.

From the reporting I've read and heard, it's fairly conclusively known that he did not.

He helped a neighbor thought to be suffering complications from pregnancy -- she was in her 7th month -- getting a cab and perhaps also accompanying her to the hospital or care center; I don't recall the details on the latter part.

The general population will not be making a rush over, on airplanes. But a subset who is eligible and capable might.

Personally, from the reporting, it seems to me that the man in Texas was a good samaritan and deserving of whatever help the U.S. might be able to provide. I further consider the threatened prosecution (by Liberia, and now I read perhaps also by others) not only unkind but counter-productive -- in general, I gather, such actions force further underground and prompt people to hide potentially threatening symptoms and conditions.

No, this isn't a React render issue (and React render in general doesn't have this issue. Put a `key` on your component and everything will work correctly). If the item isn't changed then its DOM representation isn't touched either, so neither is the CSS recalculated.

He can freely render as many times as he wants (a dozen function calls won't be your bottleneck); I'd even argue it _could_ be nicer that everything's rendered gradually this way, but that's just an aesthetic choice.

No. Just no. These are muted videos, not GIFs.

GIFs have an 8-bit palette. They're lossless. They are meant to be short and sweet, because they take up a lot of bits.

Weebly isn't out to replace web developers.

Weebly is more likely replacing low-end web designers (ie: the web designers who do projects for less than $5,000). But they are also growing market share- Weebly is cheap enough to get people online who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford a website.

You can argue that the blue led has done more to improve things than the original. Blue was the missing led color for many years, meaning that low cost/power light bulbs and displays were not possible. The original led was used primarily for indicator lights, while the blue led enables a great leap forward in the way we provide lighting and display surfaces.

Also, the problem/solution for blue leds was way more interesting and challenging imho.
> One scenario I can imagine an app breaking is if someone executed fsin(x), pasted the result into their code, and then tested some other float against it using the == operator.

While this sounds grandious, thanks to aggressive inlining this could be the case even if you wrote in your logic:

sin(x) == sin(constant)

Or even the following depending on your choice of delta.

abs(sin(x) - sin(constant) < delta

The difficulty today with a headline that looks like linkebait--even if its descriptive of the content--is that some of us won't click on it because we find linkbait repellant and habitually avoid it.

So rather than inform the reader and allow them to judge whether the article is interesting, you have created a situation where people who are repulsed by linkbait (I hope I'm not alone in this) are required to do more work to find out of the article is worth checking out, which is pretty much the opposite of what a headline ought to do.

There's likely some objective measure of the balance between people who click on the linkbait and learn something interesting about Shakespeare vs people who are repulsed and fail to do so, and it may well be that the former outweigh the latter, but I figured I'd make sure the latter's view is mentioned here.
The Nobel prize has largely become arbitrary in its pursuit of being the most exclusive awards. After knowing about just a few instances like Obama getting the Peace prize as soon as he was elected the President, this year's Physics prize going to only 3 scientists for what actually is the result of many more people working in a group, and now this - I think the award is losing its charm. It has certainly lost respect in my eyes. Its only a matter of time before it becomes an obsolete concept.

Seems ironic that a body that recognizes people for exceptional work in the sciences, it itself is based on highly subjective and debatable decisions.

Therefore it's often important to have fp constants with as much bits as possible. But there are exceptions again: unless you use them to initialize float arrays etc.

Regarding indexes for arrays, there are typical uses that should be recognized: if I write a[ 1 ] I'd like to be able to address the element 1. If I write a[ 0xffffffffffff ] it's also clear it's more than 32 bits.
It is an interesting example. Shallow processing is subjective though (the use of the word 'shallow'), as is 'higher level reasoning', or the capacity to derive a layer of meaning from a sequence of characters. It depends on what perspective.

I understand that you're doing this out of malice, and are using "reflection" in order to make yourself feel superior, and to take me down a peg, but I do regret using that sentence in the GP. The rest of the post was completely accurate, and that sentence diminished it.

However, I'll have to disagree with the rest of your reply; The BSD/SysV split, while large, is fairly comparable to what's going on today with systemd. Poettering has made his contempt for *BSD very clear multiple times, and is actively trying to extinguish compatibility with it.

GNOME needs massive work to play nice with any BSD now, thanks to Lennart. Porting between SunOS/IRIX/HP-UX was far less work than GNOME now requires.
I would guess that in [2] you were downvoted for incomprehensibility and then, in the reply posts in that sub-thread, for tone.

If turing-completeness were the only criterion to judge programming languages, then we'd be all programming in Brainfuck. Indeed, C++ template system is turing-complete, as well as Scala's. But saying they are more or less equivalent is a complete misunderstanding. The main purpose of type-systems is to prove/disprove correctness-related properties of programs. The better the type system, the less frequently it rejects a valid program or accepts an invalid one.

I could go on and list a number of features that Scala typesystem supports natively which C++ does not (e.g. type bounds, path dependent types, variance control, existentials, abstract types...), but there is no need to do that.

There is one much bigger difference between them: C++ templates are not a first-class citizen of the C++ type system. They are just a (turing complete, but quite limited) macro-language bolted on top. Actually the compiler does not perform any typechecking of generic code. All the typechecking happens after macro expansion when generics are gone, and the typechecker needs to understand only concrete types. This is completely different than in Scala/Haskell/F#/C#/Java/OCaml typesystems, which can reason about generic types and can fully type-check generic code.

This might be good for developers, but I'm not sure how it's helpful for either heavy users or beginners. For business analysts, it's just another layer on top of SQL, which slows down processing time, and for beginners, it's now two types of syntax and order they have to learn instead of one.

In a world where the most banal and boring article gets tortured into clickbait, this educated reader wondered, "Is that something interesting do to with Shakespeare's use of language, or something dull and stupid that has been given a ridiculous headline to attract the gullible?"

So no, there is not enough context for "an educated reader" to figure it out.
Is there some good reason why this is an iPhone app instead of using the seemingly widely supported Geolocation API in the browser?

I've been writing about Weebly for a couple years now. They continue to impress me. I haven't had my hands on the iPad app yet, but my bet is that it'll be easy to use and thoughtfully made. They consistently ship excellent software.

What's funny to me is that Weebly generally flies under the radar of the tech press. And yet in terms of profitable YC companies, they have to be near the top. David Rusenko has even talked about going public with Weebly (not unprecedented for website builders: Wix did it earlier this year).

Weebly is a company worth taking a close look at.
In that dish is the rice hot? Does the egg end up semi-cooked? I really hate most convenient American breakfast foods because I don't like to eat sweet stuff in the morning. Egg and rice sounds pretty appealing and very convenient.
Though I agree, it does sound insane. What would they stock? They can't supply everything obviously. I think it will be a good outreach to put a face to the company you're buying from, and make it more personal. I'm sure the employees will have little Kindles so you can quickly order things in stock. And gain the confidence from buyers that are hesitant buying things from online retailers. Potentially this could hurt stores like Best Buy, or the like. If Amazon can provide a better customer service in person, than people will choose them over the other. I'll be curious to see how this plays out for them.
The best part, better than all the other really good parts, is the "no cops" legalese at the bottom. I remember seeing that everywhere in the pre-Napster days (i.e. downloading loose MP3s from sites that looked just like yours)

I thought of a similar idea one day when day dreaming at my old retail job. What if in the future, all the stores become so small, malls could house 1000s of stores. You could go in, touch the product, try it on, but they were all just display models. And than you'd order it in store, and it would be on your doorstep the next day. No need to keep inventory in the store, and you pay a much smaller rental fee. And shrink could be almost reduced to zero.

> you were downvoted for incomprehensibility

see, that's the funny part. it was a thread about the right to remain silent, and I was explaining that Silence = consent/agreement. when I brought the other poster's silence up as agreement, I was buried to -3.

Did you have a problem comprehending my post, with the point of the discussion in mind? do you believe the moderation was fair (main post was at 0)?

I fully accept that I am attempting to be controversial. I usually don't state my actual opinions for fear of being downvoted. But now that I have sufficient karma to avoid hellbanning (for at least a while), I figured I could give experimenting with moderation habits a try by speaking thing I believe.

> Please could you link to the bit of guidelines that you're talking about?

see my other reply to you. You were absolutely correct about there being no regulation for when/when not to downvote.

EDIT: tried to explain controversial opinions a little
OpenGL is a great example of how painful it is to write apps that are capable of not breaking when the standard it relies on changes. You basically end up with capability checks or version checks which cause your code to become complicated.

I suppose there could've been a function that returned the implementation version of fsin/fcos/etc, which was incremented whenever Intel changed the implementation. That way benchmarks could test against that particular version. But it'd be hard to come up with a precise, consistent way to implement that. For example, do you increment the version whenever any transcendental function changes? If you do that, then you get benchmark code riddled with special cases for very specific versions, which someone has to constantly look up in documentation somewhere. You'd basically have to memorize the effect of every version increment. On the other hand, you could implement a more elaborate scheme, like having a version number for each of the transcendental functions, but then you'd either need to hardcode the number of version numbers returned by the API, or expose a way to add to the total number of version numbers in case someone wanted to add another function, which is extra API complexity.

I'm not necessarily arguing against having some kind of process by which apps could have the implementation of sin/cos/etc changed, just explaining how it gets complicated pretty quickly.
It's been a wonderful weird little thing so far, with folks having a mix of nostalgia for and first exposure to shell account stuff, playing around with oldschool webbery, hacking little things together across user accounts, and just generally being great people in a nice place.

The death of the infected isn't necessarily the end of the virus.

It looks like a police officer inspecting the home of the guy who just died in Texas has now contracted ebola. As I understand it he inspected the home days after the patient had been in isolation at the hospital. Apparently there was vomit, fecal matter, blood and who knows what else in there. Why he went in there without protective gear is incomprehensible to me.

The point is that death isn't the end of the virus, it's the end of the host. That's why they are cremating the guy who just died.
