Better doors are available, especially in countries with terrorism problems. See, for example, Israel's "www.rb-doors.com". Their residential doors look like ordinary doors, but when the door is locked, seven bolts come out four sides, like a vault door.
They recognized this issue and accounted for it. From the paper:

Since the texts were not explicitly designed for detailed cross-language comparison, they exhibit a rather large variation in length. For instance, the lengths of the 20 English texts range from 62 to 104 syllables. To deal with this variation, each text was matched with its translation in an eighth language, Vietnamese (VI), different from the seven languages of the corpus. This external point of reference was used to normalize the parameters for each text in each language and consequently to facilitate the interpretation by comparison with a mostly isolating language (see below).

It shouldn't be particularly surprising that english comes out ahead. It has a huge vocabulary, tons of phonemes, and makes many parts of speech optional. It lacks tones, but would probably have to sacrifice some phonemes to stay comprehensible.
I remember as a kid the sudden collapse. It happened really fast - in season 8 it's a solidly good show, and by season 11 it's unwatchable. I'd always assumed that the best of the team switched gears to work on Futurama (which came out during this period).

For me the final nail was Saddlesore Galactica. At the time I had no idea that there was all this drama between writers and fans in the newsgroups, as I'm sure most fans were similarly unaware. So there's this episode that seems to be deliberately, aggressively bad. That seems to revel in its absurdity and clumsiness. And it delibrately lambasts itself as "worst episode ever". I had no idea that this was some kind of in-joke "gotcha" against the newsgroup - at the time I'd assumed they were just celebrating all their own bad ideas as a gag theme episode.

In hindsight it looks like they tried to mock the "comic book guys" of their fanbase and instead seemed to just prove them right. It's almost a sort of drama-queen meltdown, not something you'd expect from a group of professionals. And following Saddlesore, this new almost deliberately bad flavour of writing became the new normal, so it didn't even stay the "worst episode ever".

Saddlesore Galactica and the following episodes were the shark-jump moment for me.

> A view is a concept in k that is unusual in other languages: When "a" gets updated, then "c" will automatically contain the new values.

Its actually not at all an unusual concept; its well known from SQL, for instance, but also Scala has them (Scala views aren't views in the sense that you use the term, but the lazily-implemented transformers they implement produce views of the type under discussion) as does Ruby (via Enumerable::Lazy). In fact, while the name "views" isn't exactly commonly used for them outside of SQL (though, as noted, Scala uses the term for the construct through which one obtains them), they are pretty ubiquitous in modern languages.
your doctor knew it was probably unimportant, could be caused by a myriad of things, and a repeat blood test in a few months would be normal and mean they could forget about it.

Because of the patient portal with its ability for patients to access info they don't understand the significance of, you were "absolutely startled" and "distressed". If you didnt have access to those results then you wouldn't have been concerned.

Regardless of all that, you should still have repeat LFT's because you don't know for sure that "strngth training" was the cause of the problem.

Honestly, Doctors find navigating the minefield of clinical decision making difficult enough, trying to make judgements on sensitivity/specificity of tests and investigations, positive predictive values, remove confounding, drug company propaganda, publication bias etc etc without patients trying to get into it all as well. Should I spend 1 hour explaining to every fucker with a headache why a CT head is more likely to cause brain cancer than it is to diagnose it?

The solution to the US healthcare woes is NOT more patient autonomy and decision making. The solution is moving towards a less money orientated system and trying to encourage altruism and alignment of patient's goals with doctor's actions.

A most excellent film that depicts the realities of lives of various ranks of mafioso - in this case, the Camorra, a criminal organization based in the southern Italian region of Campania - is Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah (2008)[1], based on the eponymous book by Roberto Saviano.

The Camorra bosses swiftly ordered his death and Saviano even contemplated fleeing Italy, thereafter.

Later he sued the very same crime bosses.[2]

Life in Quarantine for Ebola Exposure: 21 Days of Fear and Loathing
I think the post would be more clear if the author said "indirection" or "path length" (loosely: the number of primitive logical steps to complete an operation).

The point is that, with many interpreted language compilers, you doubly lose out: the primitive logical steps (in the author's example, function calls) are slower, and they aren't optimized away like they are in C.

I think that's a valid point, because it limits code reuse. As you build up vast libraries and frameworks, the trivial indirections build up and it slows everything to a crawl.
This year is the first for physician attestation for MUS2, give it some time. Chances are you will have to actively ask for login information if you are seeing a doctor in a small(er) private practice, as it's likely not a core priority of their EHR software (think 'it's there because it has to be, not because we actually expect anyone to use it'). Of my 6 doctors, 3 have EHRs with patient portals, but none of them are populated with encounter data or visit notes; two don't use an EHR and one is associated with UCSF and uses Epic, so I get MyChart.

Last month I was trying to get a copy of my MRI from UCSF, but their cd burner on the PACS was down. They are participants in RSNA image share so patients can opt to import scans into a portal but it took me 3 people in the radiology library before finding someone who knew anything about it.

There was a time when a man working in industry in a small city could support a family on his income. That was back when Matt Groening was a kid, so that's how the Simpson's family is structured - when Groening started the show, he was really just writing about his own childhood through Bart, transposed into the early '90s, ignoring the economic realities of the '90s.
I'm a South Korean and quite amazed by this article, and the fact that this is the most popular link in HN. Visited a shipyard several years ago but I didn't think it's interesting place. Now I realize it is and even can be a great tourist attraction.
Ok, I guess we are just going to have to agree to disagree. Our respective systems of values seem to be fundamentally different, because I believe that property rights are sacrosanct and an extension of who we are.

In case you're curious how I came to that conclusion, here goes: in most cases (not involving criminal situations), private property is basically a store of our previously invested time. We spend a portion of our lives on learning skills and then applying those skills to certain ends, such as making money and acquiring property. If we assume that a human lifetime is finite, then reserving the right to redistribute private property and wealth is basically reserving the right to take the most valuable resource humans have - their time on this Earth.

So if I'm working 10 hours a day and I'm being taxed some 40% (through a combination of income, property and consumption tax), then it means I am working only 6 hours for myself and my own personal gain, and the remaining 4 hours in fact belong to someone else. Now, I apologize in advance for this loaded language, but to me, that is a form of slavery. No one has the right to demand, at gunpoint, that people give their time and person to an end that they don't care about and that doesn't directly improve their situation.

I feel very strongly about this, to the point where I left my country of birth (a European country with ridiculously high taxes), for a much better place where the taxes are much lower and more reasonable. It's a clear example of capital flight, on a smaller scale. I know my opinion is extremely unpopular in this day and age, but it is what it is. To me, strong property rights are some of the most basic human rights, no different than freedom of speech or association.
I think people commit a grave error when they try to pick out absurd-sounding beliefs that ancient people may or may not have held. The larger point is that Aristotle and Plato gave us ideas and concepts that we still think with.

To give some perspective, at the time these guys lived they were still inventing alphabets and didn't put spaces between words. Reading was still a crude and unpolished form of communication, most people (Plato included) were illiterate.

Their ideas are rudimentary but fundamental so it's easy to nitpick technicalities but completely ignores their most important contributions.

Yes, he is that good. I worked directly with him for a few years and it deeply changed my long term approach. Side effect is that it became harder to deal with the "normals" ;-) seriously though, it made me very impatient with the sorry state of the "state of the art" in the valley.
Near a harbor, ships with azipods or other similar rotating propulsion units are steered by joysticks instead of wheels. I've seen a reasonably large ship like that being steered with a mass-market gaming joystick. It plugged in through usb.

Feeling a mountain of metal the size of an apartment block move under you to the tune of a plastic consumer toy that looks like a cheap replica of a fighter jet stick is surprisingly disturbing. I asked them why they used it -- they wanted a mobile wired stick so the guy steering the ship can move to a good position where he can see whatever he's approaching, and for that kind of thing, apparently consumer toys are more reliable than specialist marine equipment. Go figure.

It was clear years ago that it was possible to make better VR headgear. There's been some progress since the 80's and 90's. The question is whether VR is worth the trouble. I'm still not seeing the killer app for this. Hardcore gamers? Virtual tourism? Implanting false memories in kids? (The VR group at Stanford has used their system to let kids experience swimming with dolphins. Asked about it a few months later, the kids believe they really did swim with dolphins.)

A big problem is that VR has the same problem as gaming - moving and shooting works great, but try to manipulate anything and it sucks. Early thinking about VR was that it might be easier and more intuitive to do design work in VR than on a 2D screen. Autodesk did some work on this. Design in VR is like drawing while wearing mittens. No good.

Notice that the Oculus Rift crowd totally ignores the input side. The first generation of VR was "gloves and goggles". Now it's just goggles.

This may be the biggest dud since 3D TV.
Lol no they don't. Most third world countries actually have very strong authoritarian governments where any serious dissent is highly discouraged or even impossible. And even if they have low taxes, they sure compensate for that with regular currency debasement, widespread kleptocracy and stealing wealth from their citizens on a regular basis. This free-market "gospel" is based on hard facts, not some Marxist drivel.
Doesn't seem like a low salary to me. Seems that it's about average for Italy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_a... 2610USD versus 2500 they mention in the article). So I'd guess above average for an entry level position.

I'd somehow guess it's also largely tax free!

Swagger may claim to be polyglot, but it seems really Java focused to me and I've yet to see an implementation for another language, particularly one that's difficult to analyze statically (the power of swagger is the ability to generate the majority of the API documentation from code and annotations, something not possible in dynamic languages), that's not a huge train wreck. Solutions like http://apiblueprint.org/ and http://raml.org/ are much more language-neutral than Swagger.
Despite any decline, every season from 15 on has averaged just a bit under 7 at IMDB, with about 1/3 of each season in the 7.3 or 7.4 neighborhood.

People who call for The Simpsons to be cancelled because they think it is not as good as it used to be are, frankly, insane. The proper measure of when to cancel a show is not how it compares to its own past, but rather how it compares to what is likely to replace it. The average bottom third of current Simpsons seasons is still better than the typical new Fox show.

It's interesting to see how perceptions of old episodes change. For example, 3F02, "You Only Move Twice", where Homer goes to work for Hank Scorpio, is seen today as one of the best episodes of the series. On IMDB, it has the lowest rating of season 8.

9F10, "Marge vs. the Monorail" is the lowest rated season 4 episode on IMDB, but now is on most of the "best of" lists for the series.
This seems to be a very fun language to write in, in the same way optimizing assembly code in the ancient times was fun; the age of skilled artisans. Unfortunately (for programmers - great for the rest) now is the time of a factory worker. Due to that, I don't think this language and its platform has a long future.

Its continued survival is rather a testament to excellency of marketing (as evidenced by this article!) rather than actual merits.

The problem I have with trying to casually learn music theory is that I cannot separate what is "real" and what is "syntax". For example, I can trivially see that "beaming" is entirely syntactic, but the difference between 3/4 time and 6/8 time is far more confusing.

Music notation just seems really really suboptimal for actually understanding music (music software uses totally different notations/interfaces for a reason), and all music theory seems obsessed with it.
I actually see these concerns to be so close together that you might as well do them all at once. In fact, jayschema, the JSON schema library I've been useing lately, comes very close to having user-readable validation errors. Also, looking at a JSON schema with appropriate description fields is about as good as some API docs. (Sure, API docs sometimes need to tell you more than just data structures, but isn't there a quote about good data structures making the program seem obvious?)

If anything, I'm interested in knowing if Teleport schemes can be mapped to JSON schemes and vice-versa.

Etc. Sure Swagger is fairly opinionated about what a RESTful API should look like, but claiming it's Java-focused is off the mark.
What prompted me to reply was when you said "Regardless, it doesn't matter. It's simply ignorant to bitch about this, when the NSA literally intercepts all of this and exploits or introduces exploits into the software you use".

When RealPlayer was grilled for bundling spyware which harvested the exact same data, why did their excuses ("hey we mentioned this in the EULA, plus you could've scrolled through the features and disabled it at install-time") not create the same placated reactions Apple seems to be achieving here?

"Opt-out of some part of this avalanche of b.s. information-leaking features serving little to zero actual benefit to the user" has always been a stupid, sleazy trend to monetize the very basics of computing and whilst I respect that most people don't give a damn and/or don't have the energy to give a damn, it's a user-hostile design pattern.
Who is claiming that this is unpickable? Very misleading title.

Actually, you're right. JSON Schema is very effective as an input validation mechanism (we use it for this at Snowplow), and if you look at Swagger, it actually uses JSON Schema-based types for modelling the entities exposed by a RESTful API. I am a huge fan of JSON Schema - I don't yet see what Teleport is bringing to the table.
I wish that I had read this before upgrading. I have tons of stuff installed via Homebrew, and after two hours of "2 minutes remaining," and seeing in the logs that it was "restoring" stuff from /usr/local, I gave up and went to bed.
Ok, I'm not a big fan of ads here at Hacker News, but actually you kind of proved me wrong as I'm genuinely curious and very tempted to give it a try :-). It looks like a book that could help me become a better dev. I'd probably be using FP via F# at the end of the day, but it's more about the FP mindset, that I think I still don't have.

Anyway, buy it somewhere else! (I will do ...). I know, Amazon is super cheap and convenient, but we need competition and diversity.
Just taking a quick glance through the table of contents, it looks like it aims to focus more on "how to think about problems in this paradigm" (as the title implies) than the more practically-oriented "let's go write fizz-buzz" approach. For example, it jumps into function composition before it even talks about how to use GHCi. It has a chapter called "Proofs", and it seems to have a chapter focusing on using lazy evaluation to trade off time and space consumption.

Glancing at the text available, it doesn't seem to make any references to other programming languages, and takes an approach of "let's build this up from the things you learned in Math class". Seems like it might be a good fit for someone with more math than programming background, or someone with enough programming experience that they want to get to the heart of what functional programming is, but a bit jaded by the usual language tutorial format.
Son of a doctor here. My dad told me not to go to medical school. Reading this makes me so glad I listened.
One of the things that was emphasized to me when I was studying the ancient greeks was that I should try to step outside my own mindset and try to read the text as it is, rather than to try to interpret it from my own cultural or modern perspective. I think this is an important step to take when you study these kinds of texts.

The author is referring to the case where you use a blacklist to drop traffic to certain ports. Dropping traffic looks different than responding with a RST, which distinguishes that port (since all the others respond with an RST).

But, if you instead have a default policy of "drop all incoming traffic", then it doesn't look weird that traffic to port 3306 is dropped, since traffic to all other ports is also dropped. More importantly, you also get the security benefit of using a whitelist rather than a blacklist.
I agree.

Note that this reasoning can also be applied to what we would think of as “normal” companies. What does this say about them?

They check for docstrings. From PEP 257[0]: "A docstring is a string literal that occurs as the first statement in a module, function, class, or method definition. Such a docstring becomes the __doc__ special attribute of that object."

In fact, beaming makes the difference between 3/4 and 6/8 clear. But even if it didn't, you can't divorce the cultural object from it's notation. Once you're trained, traditional music notation is pretty optimal for reading music for performance, and you have to remember that that is the purpose of music notation. All alternative notation systems I've seen fail this simple test: once I've learned this, would I be able to play music I've never seen before reasonably well the first time? I've never seen anything that works as well as traditional music notation for that.

Meanwhile, music theorists are "obsessed" with notation only insofar as the music they study is written using that notation. You seem to have skipped my previous comments -- music theory, even at this basic level, has little to do with notation. You read it as notation obsessed only because you're not thoroughly enough steeped in the notation. Reading and writing music notation is as natural to a musician as writing in English is to you. It would be strange and counterproductive to insist on using nontraditional notation when every musician who plays the repertoire you're studying already reads the standard notation, and all the repertoire you're studying is written in it.
Your pitch is never "finished" because it's a living reflection of your conviction, your passion and most importantly, a tangible opportunity (for investment, for employment, for customers).

You should pitch whenever you can, to whomever you can, until doing so is effortless.

A pitch is foremost a test of your own faith in your project. If there is any self-doubt, your pitch will betray it, and you will know you aren't ready (or that the idea and your execution aren't going to cut it).

So by all means pitch. Test yourself.
