I think you need FDA clearance to be able to market a test as actually being effective for treatment/prevention etc. For exactly the same reason woo-woo supplements must disclaim that they aren't intended for that purpose

These are mutually exclusive states, actually. The "chance at making FU money" and "100% more work/stress" and "losing funding or... goes bust and can't make payroll", that's stuff that happens a

$JOB-2 got sued over website accessibility. The way these cases go is someone uses the WAVE browser extension to identify accessibility issues, and anything yellow or red becomes part of the cause of action. IIRC we settled out of court. We

A reference to Postel's Law: be conservative in what you produce and liberal in what you accept. The law references that you should strive to follow all standards in your own output, but you should make a best effort to accept content

The output from an LLVM frontend compiler is LLVM IR, which is sort of a high-level architecture-agnostic assembly. The LLVM backend compiles this IR to the target architecture's machine code. Some optimizations can (and do?) happen in

I wonder what your actual cache hit rate is? Sounds like it could use some tuning since 100-150ms sounds consistent with most requests hitting the origin?

Well, due process is a right co-equal to free speech, so which rights override which others in which circumstances will come down to legal precedent. My understanding is that the FBI or other non-judicial body cannot unilaterally issue a ga

KV storage is SQLite, and SQLite replication and syncing using an out-of-process daemon is becoming a solved problem. For that application at least no changes to the runtime would be necessary

Here's two models: "Open Core", where the core product is open source and you provide closed source extensions, generally high-value integrations and enteprise-y features like SSO, active directory support, etc. "Paid Se

What you're observing is not the rise and fall of best practice and good engineering. All you're seeing is the hype cycle. Best practice and good engineering in web dev is the same as it is in any other software field: the best st

DynamoDB is an interesting beast. It's hard for me to recommend it for most use cases anyway. It was designed to power experiences that look like shopping carts: relatively short-lived, mostly append-only, needing a flattish performanc

FWIW, DynamoDB (at least, an API-co patible, sqlite-backed stand in) can be installed to developer machines. But your point about on-prem stands

The Rifters Trilogy, also by Peter Watts is a great read as well. It focuses a bit more on the transhumanism aspects but non-conscious intelligence is a secondary theme of the last two books. Pretty much any book by Greg Egan covers these i

If a, b, c don't compel you, you may do fine with keeping an engineering journal or a personal wiki if all you need is a place to collect your knowledge. However, to advocate for blogging I've got 2 points: 1. Refining your opinio

Honestly a cheap boom mic is going to be the optimum of ease-of-use and noise input isolation. There are plenty of fairly cheap earbuds with built-in boom mics, of varying quality. If folks really have an aversion to over-ear headphones I&#

Only do this if you a) love chasing down bug reports of lambdas firing at 6 minutes rather than 5 or b) make it really, really clear in your marketing that the only guarantee is firing _after_ the given interval

Well, the best way to protect that information would be to not store it at all. Whenever they select a candidate to vote for, you would place them into match groups bucketed by score (based on their first/second/third choice), max

In defense of the first comment, when first approaching a body of code like this, it's not always going to be clear what returning None is going to mean in any given method. Also, one thing I think doesn't get mentioned enough is

Programs compiled with GCC are not GPL by extension. Arguably the net weights are a kind of program themselves. If you have a non-GPL license to use and redistribute the data you use to train the neural net, I would imagine not.

You gotta sell everyone involved in the benefits. Convince the devs that you're not just giving them make-work to do, get the execs to buy in on giving you the space to do what must be done. Keep the pitch focused, you're not sell
