I gave you a code review after you posted on Reddit, a while ago.

danieljohnsonon Letters to a Young Poet (1903)

A few quotes from it, that have stuck with me:

- It is good to be solitary, for solitude is difficult; that something is difficult must be a reason the more for us to do it.

- Perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave.

- I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.

- This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.

danieljohnsonon Ask HN: Why does everyone use a MacBook Pro despite saying they suck?

With OSX, I get to be lazy when it comes to the OS. No wrangling, configuring like I see friends having to do. The environment is mindless and works. And they're pretty. Great screens and resolution. And everyone else had one when I started developing. And I was kind of excited to put a sticker on top of the apple.

Switching to linux is in the same category as Vim for me. Something I should do someday.

With all of the ways that we hear the environment is being damaged by humans, it's nice to hear about a way we're trying to improve it.

This give me hope.

danieljohnsonon To Stay in Love, Sign on the Dotted Line

I wish that I had done this in my previous relationship. We were young, and we talked a lot, but I didn't realize what was really important to her (travelling, saving money). So when we'd talk about goals, I'd never realize how much things meant to her. A contract may have helped us define our goals, and what we wanted, and make things a little easier for dense ol' me.

danieljohnsonon Deep Patient Predicts Patients Future from Health Records

YES!

It seems that you need more, and more complete information to do deep learning on records, but it also seems this is a first small step into centralizing and using health records for public health.
