One interesting thing about Alzheimer is that it was practically non-existant some 20-30 years ago. My father is a neurologist and he saw the rate of incidence of Alzheimer rising and rising year by year. The causes must be related to one of the hundreds of things that changes between 40 and 30 years ago and interested mid-age people. My best guess is related to television, yours?

You just show up, and you are a core developer
When I go driving on alpine roads, I frequently see 'warning ice' or 'warning deep snow' signs, which are quite amusing in summer.

I've often thought that printing the signs using liquid crystal technology would be useful, so ice warnings would only be visible when the temperature was at least close to 0C

The Development of Crispr DNA Editing
Those buildings may be practically abandoned, but the new Pike & Rose development only two blocks away appears to be doing quite nicely, and work has already begun on a new development project near what used to be White Flint mall. I live right on the edge of this area, and it seems far from being a ghost town.
I prefer to write end-to-end tests first, then fill in integration and unit-tests on a as-needed basis. If I am finding it complicated to write, or if experience from production says it is a problematic area.

After all, the important thing is whether your application/service/library does what it promises to its users/consumers. Whether some function/class deep inside works or not is mostly irrelevant (can help in fixing the issue faster though).

Unit-testing-first has a tendency to make the tests very fine-grained, often need changes when you refactor internals (how do you know test did not break?), and needlessly keeping rigid internal details that one should have the freedom to change. Have seen plenty of code being kept around because it had lots of tests - when it was not actually used for anything at all!

Note: Above approach is coupled with a pretty strict adherence to keeping projects small and independent, preferably <10kLOC.
It's easy to come up with a perfectly cromulent definition for a made up word.

We're a free peer-2-peer practice platform for coding interviews.
From our own interviews we realized how important live practice is, while good practice buddies are hard to find.

Our system pairs you to other hackers at your level to practice interviews together.
On each interview both your and your peer will interview the other. We take care of everything you need to prep well: scheduling, interview problems & solutions, HD video chat, collaborative code editor and peer feedback.

Would love get get your feedback and thoughts and answer any questions.

I see that. I guess I should send all my political friends to HN to post more such articles and comments cause where else but a place called "Hacker News" would one do that? I mean, I know I came here for just such topics.
I don't interpret the comparison there as "these are all equally bad" (I bet the author would endorse Napoleon's rise to power, in fact), but more as "this is what sudden changes in preference falsification equilibria backed by authority look like".
One, I agree that biology is not destiny. (Indeed, I believe I said the opposite.)

Two, I agree that our current society is a mess, and share your desire that it be made better.

That said, I have never seen a primatologist suggest that we aren't wired for status. Certainly our closest relatives, chimpanzees, are. (See, e.g., de Waal's Chimpanzee Politics.)

I think it's important to acknowledge that tendency if we want to make the world less of a mess. For example, consider how we deal with a different inbuilt tendency: violence. We know that all humans can be violent, which is why children are taught early and often that violence is wrong. It's why we have a whole system of customs and laws that constrain violent behavior. We, as a culture, are working to eliminate it, but we can't do that by pretending it isn't part of our nature.

I think we should do the same for status. Rather than constructing a system that, as you say, helps the privileged maintain their sense of status, we to acknowledge that an irrational drive for status is part of our roots, and to build a society that helps us overcome that.
Thanks I will shoot you an email. Your response in this thread is the kind of more nuanced and accurate positioning of what you are doing and why systems biology might now be ripe to make a real difference in the drug discovery phase. It really isn't that hard of a message to convey.

I have been doing other things since 2004 and not following pharma and biotech closely. It appears that what has happened is large pharma invested in systems biology in the early 2000's and by the end of the decade had let it fade. It may also be true that it never made it into specific disease groups, like neurological.

Systems Biology feels a little like AI in the software field. It feels so intuitive that it will one day make a big difference, but there have been many big investments and disappointments over the years, but each time it makes a resurgence we get a lot of advancement in narrow domains. And, it still feels like one day, maybe soon we will get breakthrough's in more general AI and maybe you will lead the way with SB.

A certain confidence, even brashness of youth is ok, but please understand how "tinny" it sounds to people who have been around for one or two boom/bust cycles. Forgive us our cynicism.

Heh, not really. TRIX was just an early example of in-kernel RPC and some traditional OS services being in userland, a proto-microkernel.

It's most notable for being the originally proposed kernel for GNU, until it was scrapped in 1987 or so.

Just a few corrections on the numbers on your post, the idea is correct: it's <55% for MS candiate, and <30% otherwise). Also OPT is 12 months + 15 months.

The chance for getting H1B has been steadily decreased in the last few years, and it's highly doubtful anything will change in the next 3-4 years.
These will be vandalised before they are hacked. I would think that they'll last only a few months before the council get sick of replacing them.
I think there is something intuitively different between the engineering of non-human animals in nature[1] that has gone on for millions of years and which the rest of nature has evolved along side of, and the human engineering[2] that has drastically changed the face of the planet in less than 200 years, rendering much of nature extinct in the meantime.

It's always good to use real time analytics, but not to decide solely on them. The picture is usually broader.
But sometimes not so easy when you're put on the spot.
I'm... conflicted.

On one hand, a simple opt-in way for applications to give away the ability to do operations is something I've wanted for sandboxing for a long time. From an API perspective, tame() looks great.

However, the kernel-side implementation is way too ugly. Hardcoding pathnames needed to use things like DNS, NIS, etc is just way too inflexible and fragile.

I think the kernel should just support a set of fs/network/etc restrictions that can be grown but not shrunk by the process. i.e. basically what seccomp-bpf gives you on linux. What we really need is user-friendly libraries to make using seccomp-bpf as easy as using tame()!

Bazaarfunda.com – an ideal portal if you are confused which mobile to buy
StratDecider analytics launched the first consumer purchase decision making portal in India. Till now people asked their colleagues, read reviews and took eternity of time to decide which mobile to buy. Bazaarfunda has simplified this process as they collect all the online reviews of a product and use their in-house text analytics tool to give an unbiased review analysis of the product.
Previously if someone had to buy a mobile phone in a price range there were lots of phones with similar features. Around 50-60 models are there within a budget of 20k that have 13 MP camera and same battery. So what do you do now? You simply start reading the reviews and asking people around.
Bazaarfunda was founded by Krishna Chandra Dey and Abhishek Chatterjee, both alums of IIT Kharagpur to solve this problem. Currently they are comparing mobile reviews, prices and provide personalised recommendation based on consumer preferences. They are planning to include several other categories like camera, Laptops, Home appliances, Personal care in the near future and widen the portfolio for the consumers.
So if you want to compare reviews and prices of mobile phones and want unbiased recommendation visit www.bazaarfunda.com

It would've been useful if you'd at least posted the language. My recommendation is this: be pragmatic. I've been asked plenty of times to forgo software development principles to get a product out the door ("hardcode this", "copy/paste that"). I never copy/paste, but I have hardcoded things to get a product shipped on time. You may have a better idea of how to do a lot of things, but only bring it up when you understand the full implications of your changes. Initiative is good, careless prattle is bad.

Groking business logic can ultimately make you more valuable than your software development skills, and nobody hires you for software development alone. Be humble (I myself sometimes fail this when I word something too strongly), be honest, be malleable.

Honestly, without some sense on the stack, size of the codebase, type of company and team size, that's about as much advice as I can give you

How do I know I'm not waisting my time, or worse, getting bad prep?

If you are interested in finding more music that induces "frisson" there is a subreddit devoted to it here: reddit.com/r/frisson

There is a similar phenomenon (at least I feel it is similar) known as ASMR where someone experiences similar feelings in response to someone's voice. The voice is often soft, whispering, or close up. Of course there is a subreddit for that as well.

I experience both and feel they are related. I have yet to hear a good explanation for why some people experience ASMR, and I don't think there have been any legitimate scientific studies exploring the sensation. One theory I've heard is that it is designed to reward a pupil who is being taught something in a one on one lesson.
There is no anarchism without feminism. Complaining about anarchists focusing on social justice is like complaining about water being wet.

Show HN: Nowy Friends – Know when your friends are nearby, e.g. same subway car
My 17 year old boy was driving his beater car the other day, with his girlfriend, and a county sheriff crowded up behind him, real close. He was trying to coax the kid into speeding.

I've talked to my kid a lot about the relationship between the cops and citizens. He was very calm about it, and maintained his speed. The cop passed and left after a minute or so.

Failing to signal. Infinitesimal failure to stop. Changing lanes just a smidgeon before the solid white line changes to dashed. These are all just entry points for cops to fuck with you, either just for the sake of fucking with you, or to escalate up into something that goes on their performance evaluation metrics. 'Cause you know that they get measured, and you can't measure "didn't pull that guy over because he wasn't doing anything." Their incentives are your peril.

Learning their stack is good advice. You'll impress folks if you can hit the ground running.

Another area that I'd recommend is start to learn the business domain. If your company builds accounting software - start to learn some basic accounting principles. If your company builds healthcare insurance software, start to learn about the relationships between healthcare providers, insurance providers, health plans, etc. Software systems are built to model business domains, account for constraints in the domain, and deliver value for users in that domain. Knowing the ins and outs of the domain will make it easier for you to learn about the software when you first start, but also will allow you to grow into an engineer that can solve problems and deliver real value to your employer.

I've had the luxury of working on software in domains that were highly technical (nuclear reactor inspection and repair) and unique (military command and control over tactical networks). Understanding the domain at hand has always been crucial to my success.
