The original low code app is the spreadsheet; a very useful abstraction that people have bolted together all kinds of critical workflows with. Low code is meant to be for a similar audience of nontechnical DIYers in the process automation s

For python specifically, I've found my base anaconda environment to be plenty powerful enough! Sure, it's slow to install packages and create new environments, but anything I'm hacking away on for an hour will probably not be

This is definitely not my area of expertise, but my understanding was that the mantissa was actually the source of inexactness in floats? I know the power bits (10 bits?) are pretty close to actual twos complement ints, and you could always

I know the industry has moved on to WebAssembly, but I thought it might be worth mentioning that I just recently finished a personal project to compile an arbitrary NodeJS script in QuickJS and call the code from C - all* in a statically or

By "naive" random walk, I'm referring to how one would _implement_ a random walk that's restricted to a given range. The most straightforward way to do it is to "clip" any values that would exit the given range

Martingales with barrier reflections are a fantastic way to model all kinds of parameters that are randomly distributed over time , but stay roughly the same value in the short haul. They're also very well studied, so you can make str

Splines are also a great tool to know about when you're trying to approximate smooth curves from sparse data! I reached for splines and martingales a ton when we were developing a patient simulator.

As you said, at the end of the day it's an ethical guideline that must be upheld, more than something based in economics. We do compensate participants as well as we're allowed within these guidelines! I agree with your points, bu

Perhaps I was being too self deprecating! We worked closely with the FDA through multiple QSub meetings to make sure it was up to snuff, and did a lot of legwork on the backend to make sure we understood what they were asking for. 3 or 4 re

When we started putting the trial together, we were still self funded. In medical device, to get to series A you need human data, so by doing the trial protocol ourselves, we avoid the chicken and egg problem of needing money in order to ra

Patient compensation is intentionally limited to prevent economic incentives from interfering with informed consent; pay people too much and they may participate in research that they would have passed on. Also, speaking from experience, pa

There's a reason why we ended up putting our trials together essentially by trial and error! You learn a lot by writing your own clinical protocol, interacting with the FDA etc. It's an intimidating process at the outset, but if y

We were just discussing how to do this today! How would you say your offering compares to, eg, Redox Engine, in terms of pricing and overall compatibility? Will you be open sourcing the entire stack, or keeping some parts proprietary?

Back in the day, the work you might dream of computing might be as simple as a matrix multiplication, which while difficult to implement, is certainly not impossible for a beginner; we did exactly that for our first machine language MP in C

Phased array antennas are mostly for getting programmable beam forming, and don’t have much to do with jamming, which works by destructively interfering with incoming waves. Starlink operating on a different frequency means that GPS jammers

You actually can have Vanced be the default! Set an app timer for 0hr 0 min on YouTube, and go into the app link behavior in settings to default to Vanced. After that, links should open in Vanced. In apps that have browsers, view the link i

I do small projects statically all the time! Writing a simple bf interpreter can be done so statically that you don't even need to store the program in its own array; program text can just be taken directly as const char* https:/

One reading which might be valid is that testing on hardware that lives in the happy path will lead you to think your code has less issues than it actually has on real user systems.

Anyone can do higher level math, the problem is that math education is generally done by people who see math as a tool for computation, rather than a study of deep connections bordering on philosophy, and beautiful insights resembling poetr

There's certainly no doubt in my mind that they save your "top" match, based on your swipe history and whether or not they've already matched you, to show up right after you use your last free swipe. Wait 12h and hope

The problem really happens when you do algorithmic price setting, which incentivizes you as the developer to get people addicted to the experience of swiping, regardless of whether or not the swiping has the desired outcome for the end user
