It doesn’t seem like they controlled for any other variable at all - even time. From the paper: “Various literature databases like PubMed and Google Scholar were searched to find the mean of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in different

A 2kW hair dryer seems a bit out of place - the Russian for hairdryer (фен) happens to also mean a regular fan. I can’t fathom what you would do with a huge diesel-powered fan either, but at least it might make a bit more sense than a haird

25 engineers isn’t a small team. If you want to push code with 25 people working on one codebase, some kind of interface will need to be put up between all of them. CI becomes a pretty big challenge too. I don’t think you can expect the com

I'm not sure about that - if only because it gives a "large target" for insurers. Underwriting based on health conditions (something that is currently banned in the US for health insurance, but allowed for life/disabilit

The law you’re referencing sounds like https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.x... . There’s an interesting set of exclusions that includes: A bank, bank holding company, or the subsidiary or affil

I completely agree - there's only so many ways to slice the data. The caveat is - the type of data matters quite a bit for the data architecture. There's another thread that mentions sensor data as a source of complexity since the

I think the issue comes with new Unicode releases with older oses not getting updates. In the browser world I’m not sure how bad it is since browsers get auto updates frequently, but e.g. iPhone 5 users are never going to see the newest emo

Both have a place but are generally used differently. Below is my opinion of the two, though you could in theory use these systems differently. Airflow executes repeatable processes, usually on a schedule. You probably won’t want to use air

I'm curious if there are other folks like me here - I have a peculiar hate of touch-screen pens/pencils. They're too thick at the tip. When I write on (real) paper, I try to use the thinnest pen that I can still grip. I think

In practice I think cache eviction policies have trended to optimizing _memory_ usage. Storing two pointers per cache entry for LRU on 64-bit CPUs uses 16 bytes of data per entry - which adds up quickly! Especially if you're storing e.

Interesting note: for the purposes of life insurance coverage, your health information is NOT covered by HIPAA. It’s still technically PHI but life insurers aren’t a “covered entity” under HIPAA so are free to blast your information complet

master/slave can definitely go - plenty of alternative terms and worth replacing the dated jargon. primary/leader/writer - or something more specific to your domain - all work. One piece I don't quite get - what does the

For folks considering running 64-bit on the pi - I don’t think you need 64-bit userland. I’ve been running a 64-bit kernel on my pi with 32-bit userland perfectly fine. The few things that actually need 64-bit (I’m looking at you mongo) run

This is pretty cool! As they mention in the paper this is similar to biased locking in java where “synchronized” blocks only ever get promoted to a full mutex when a second thread tries to lock it. It’s the same idea here except with a coun

This particular problem (number of digits in a number) is actually monumentally important for performance reasons for e.g. json generation. See https://m.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/three-opti... for d

I might even go further - kiam is not a standard deployment supported by the kubernetes project like the api server or the scheduler or the autoscaler. See https://github.com/uswitch/kiam That said it is a very common

I would be interested to know what the impact on Secure Enclave will be from this exploit. From quick googling it sounds like bootrom isn’t involved in booting SEP. One large change from the exploit though is unlocking isn’t required to jai

This looks like a bootrom exploit - the stage before iBoot - that verifies signatures of the firmware. The code for it is hard burned - read only from software. This can only be fixed with new hardware. https://www.theiphonewiki.

I’m a fan of using tools that fit your problem. I think Fulcro is probably better if you have a frontend that uses Fulcro/React. It can bring order to the sometimes Wild West of data fetching that happens in the browser world. That sai

Ladder (ladderlife.com) is written entirely Clojure(Script). We feel it was worth it - having a single language that can stretch from frontend to ETL code is pretty powerful. The fact that parallelism in Clojure is real (and not 16 separate

This looks really neat! This integrated with something like https://hackmd.io/ would be really great for technical writing . It could also be great for auto-generating docs or the like, so it's great to have this be st

This is a little off topic w.r.t. the article, but to some extent I like privacy as a currency. Despite the fact that you might make minimum wage and can’t realistically afford to pay for most services, Google gives you access to the majori

Apple’s App Store policies have not been known for being fair to all participants. That’s for public apps. I’m not sure why they would change that stance - much less for enterprise apps - now. So long as the abuse is not egregious (see FB &

Unfortunately “fair” insurance - one where everyone pays the same premium - is an unstable equilibrium without regulation. As others mentioned, self selection without regulation leads to the fair carrier getting the highest risk population,

Datomic does this. There’s (Clojure syntax) d/with that given a database at any point in time runs a transaction “virtually” (there isn’t a current db per se - you can use (d/db connection) to get a reasonably current one though)

Have you tried OpsGenie by chance? Their pricing looks attractive, but it is Atlassian (I cant get past how slow Jira is).

This looks great. To echo other folks’ sentiment - I think you mean CI-like pipelines specifically, though it could be extended to do some other stuff. You probably want to list some concrete use cases on the main site (e.g. CI, cron jobs

I tried to get into Scala a little while ago, but I couldn’t quite grok the language - there was a time where I wanted to pull out a nested function call (e.g. f(g(x))) into a variable and it gave me compile errors (there might have been im
