Working in healthcare, and Postman got decertified by our Cyber team for this. We all switched to Bruno overnight. Their sales team is pinging us like gangbusters though.

I'm finishing a game I started writing before my first daughter was born. The in-laws have been beta testing and they like it so far!
Re:A Universal Cancer Treatment?

They genetically engineered a kind of bacteria that divides into non-living 'nanocells' that can't multiply further. These cells contain a special kind of RNA and a cell entry mechanism that lets them enter the cancer cells. The RNA interrupts the cell's ability to prepare for division. The article kind of implied that these nanocells follow the bloodstream pathways that cancer cells open when they metastasize.
The researchers main concern was whether those nanoncells would also enter healthy cells, but the tests seem to show healthy cells were not affected.

You might even luck out with those heuristics. Simulated annealing often results in the shortest/best/lowest-energy-state solution by accident.

Kind of like proving that you can't solve the halting problem, it lets us put to rest the idea that you can reduce the complexity of NP problems to a deterministic polynomial solution. The collective brainpower can be used to solve other problems.

I saw a demo recently where someone used Microsoft Bot Framework for what you described. Can't find the video at the moment, but might be worth looking into. [https://dev.botframework.com/]

Demystifying Deep Reinforcement Learning
Re:Ask HN: Slow engineers, did you get faster? How?

This struck a chord.
[Edit] I had an essay explaining why, but long story short... it's just that I had the same experiences on my old team as you described, so I left out of frustration for what I consider my dream job. Now it feels ruined because I can't really start fresh, and I moved halfway across the country to take this new role. How are we doing on time travel? Any progress?
Ask HN: Slow engineers, did you get faster? How?
After four years, I left my first team in March to join a new team at the same company. Now it's performance review season, so my old manager forwarded some notes to my current manager about my prior work. Basically it said that I had solid results, wrote some really stable code, "championed" testing and testability for the team, and that people liked working with me. I haven't seen it yet, but...

SAP too. Even newer, cloud-based companies like Workday are looking like very promising contenders for the same small/midsize businesses as AX, GP, NAV, and SL.
Re:Finding topics in Harry Potter using K-Means clustering

This is neat... I love projects like this. When the number of clusters is unknown or hard to predict ahead of time, I'd lean toward something like affinity propagation or mean-shift. Why k-means?
