Launched a COVID solutions accelerator called COVID Accelerator. In 7 days 500+ devs, designers, and doctors signed up. Projects to help feed doctors, support small business, and build diy ventilators.

Can you build faster than a virus?

Why would you use this over the profile guided optimizations that gcc and clang already offer, that use the same data?

What kind of perf benefits can you expect?

What kind of application have you tested this with?
I agree, this code is horrendous! It is like trying to read one of those code golf answers. Author seems to pride themselves on a proficiency for packing as much as possible in to one line, which is not a good thing in my opinion. I do think it was reasonably well commented though compared to code that I am used to working on (in games). At least they expressed basically what they were trying to do before each block of code, with references to specific algorithm names etc. The single letter variables didn't bother me as much in this context since a lot of those seemed to be loop indices which are only used in a small scope, or mathematical quantities that you would be familiar with from reading some algorithms standard description but they don't have an easy way to express in English. Definitely agree with you about all the regex nonsense though. To me that has no place in a math related library
KY has had 2 young cases so far (8 mo old and 6yr old). The 8mo old didn't need to be hospitalized and the 6yr old was in the hospital for a handful of days and is now at home. Both are expected to recover AFAIK.
> In the US, Despite our country having vast and endless supplies of food from megafarms and their accompanying subsidies, there is very little safety net in America to ensure anyone is fed at all once they are unemployed.

On the contrary, food stamps (SNAP) is pretty much the only federal welfare program that covers everyone based only on need (i.e. low enough assets and income).

There is a 3-month limit for many people (e.g. able-bodied males who don't have kids) but states have the power to extend it in times/locations of high unemployment.
I think your best bet is to catalog them (using LT if you like) and try to sell them as a single collection. If there are any that you identify as particular powerful, maybe sell them separately. What's going to kill you is the shipping for a single collection. Maybe offer a discount for a local sale and pick up.
Probably because it cools down much faster there, due to higher relative surface (per mass). You can also see this simply by the difference in color.
For completeness, generally memory access that misses the last level cache incurs 60-110 ns latency on recent DDR3 based x86 hardware, see eg. http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/?d=qa&f=ben_mem_latency&l=en&a=

I don't know what exactly the 32ns measurement is from, sounds similar to the "in-page" figures on the above page.
The most fundamental problem with EVERY FUCKING PRIVATE COMPANY THERE IS is that we all know that their primary goal is to make bank, so we can't trust them.

Do you grow your own food? Make your own clothes? Did you assemble your car yourself from materials you created using your own steel mill and other such basic materials manufacturing plants? You trust private companies every day, every one of which happily states that they want to make money. What's so special about medicines?
They are though.
Has it become so taboo to be single that you have to pay to hide it?

Apparently yes, sadly.

Even so, I can't imagine this app could possible be worth the time (let alone the cost). Especially when simply lying to people (who aren't close friends anyway), as needed -- or in the case of a good chunk of my direct family, explicitly firewalling ("Look, over the years I've been having various relationships with various people. If any of them become important enough for you to know about, I'll let you know, eventually") to be easy enough, and to work perfectly fine for all concerned.

The bottom line is that intimacy is a gift, and at no point are you obligated to provide it to anyone you don't really consider to be that important in your life -- or in situations that make you uncomfortable.

Safari have been messing extension developers around for ages now. It's been hugely frustrating. When you dig into the data, most of Safari traffic is from iOS so most devs just can't be bothered to port to Safari. The $99 is just another kick in the face. You might think it's quick and easy to convert, but Safari has all sort of annoying inconsistencies that make it a huge amount of work. For any small software company it's just not worth the effort. Safari should incentivize people not disincentivize them.
interesting 'appeal to etiquette' at the end to shut down discussion
I consider immoral to threaten individuals with jail time unless they give you 40% of their salary.

I consider immoral the USA's warmongering and spying on its own citizens.

Still, if I don't pay my taxes or if I try to stop the army from going to bomb some poor people in the middle east, I'll be put in jail.

If I have a way to sabotage the government which won't ruin my life, I'll do it, but I'll pass on the rest.

We're lucky enough not to live in a country that require us to kill people in concentration camps, because we would surely do that.

At least, I would do it if I didn't have another choice (but I would also try to desert).
As we've seen from XMPP and Matrix federation comes with it's own set of tradeoffs. Matrix (specifically the element client) has come very far but it's still not at a state where I can reccomended it to non technical acquaintances.
Volatility is a non-issue with the release of CME futures. You can short Bitcoin or Ethereum futures to lock in your price with respect to USD at any time.

The base futures contracts are 5 Bitcoin i.e. notional value of $200k, but that's merely an inconvenience and not a fundamental blocker to subdivide the futures contract or have someone do it for you.

I think for years payment companies like Bitpay have had price guarantees for merchants(probably using futures in the backend), but you do have more counterparty risk dealing with unregulated exchanges.
They did not invent object storage so much as popularize it and standardize the terminology we now use. S3 was announced in 2006. By then, many other distributed object stores had already existed for years, mostly for purely archival use and often a bit enterprise-ish (e.g. FilePool/Centera in 2002). Depending on how much similarity you require, you could even trace lineage back to NASD in 1995. There's also a closely related space of P2P applications which had different goals but similar APIs and implementation details. For example, Freenet and Gnutella both started in 2000. It's practically certain that some techniques worked out in that space informed the design of S3.

Unfortunately Amazon has not done a very good job crediting predecessors, but they do deserve credit for bringing what had previously been rather niche ideas (I know because I was there throughout) to the masses.
> What you suggest is more similar to banning gold, which happened 100 years ago in US. Where do you think gold price went after that?

Where the gold price when after 1933 isn't that relevant to all those who were forced to sell their gold to the Federal Reserve at that time.[0]

Thought experiment: were your national government to pass a law forcing you to sell your Bitcoin to them at a price they pick, you would appear to have precisely two options: 1) sell, or 2) be prosecuted

There's plenty of precedent for 2) [1], so I'm guessing most people would end up opting to sell. That would appear to be the end of that... (?)

For clarity: no, I don't think this is right. It might happen anyway.

> You have to be wealthy to see an appreciable growth in assets. Both the absolute and percentage amounts matter. Yes, anyone can get a 3% return on their investments over time, but that doesn't really matter when you can only invest $1.

This is an excellent example of how low interest rates prevent anyone but the wealthy from making money on investments.

Bitcoin started as a fun distributed systems experiment.

It mutated into a sort of global pyramid scheme that consumes >0.5% of the world's energy consumption to perform deliberately useless calculations.

Modern bitcoin isn't even about blockchain. Most people just put money in their exchange, click the exchange button, and watch the number go up and down. Never even touches the blockchain. It's all about speculation and convincing others to become the next layer in the pyramid of hodlers.

Modern Bitcoin isn't about tech or distributed systems or challenging the financial system (with $8 transaction fees that go to mining companies and exchange fees that skim every trade). It's been captured by the financial system and pumped as a speculative investment, all so financial institutions and giant mining operations can profit off of the frenzy.

>too much demand for a limited number of seats at the most prestigious schools

Prestigious schools are desirable explicitly because most other people were rejected by them.
>Despite the narrative, Bitcoin isn’t really competing with traditional banking at all. It's additive. It has become another asset for banks to sell to people, collecting relatively high exchange fees in both directions on the trade.

This is certainly the current narrative, and I think that you do a very good job at illustrating what CB's role plays in all this. However, most people that made money in crypto are leaving their assets in crypto, they are not giving it to banks or exchanges for custody. Even if they want to hold dollars, they do so in DAI or USDC (indirect bank deposit ATM). So while this is still a very small threat to the banking industry at the moment, the seed has been planted, we are still very very early. The current banking industry has almost 200 years in the making, it won't be undone in 5.
Two-phase fluid flow with surface tension in the web. Fantastic! I tried it myself, but my simulations most of the time exploded .... I mean diverged.

Keep up the good work! Presenting the research is a must and thanks to cross compilers and WebAssembly it was never so easy to even demonstrate your simulation code.

The original name of the bridge was "Ponte Salazar". Salazar was the dictator that was leading the country when the bridge was built (60s). After the revolution, the government changed the name to "Ponte 25 de Abril" (date of the revolution as you mentioned).
Not sure why but in my case mutt + maildir is really slow. Loading a folder takes around 10s for 300 emails and slightly less than 2m with 3000.
It's really sad CSON didn't catch on. We have a JSON swagger spec at work and balacing braces,etc is just painful.

So for a new project I tried writing a spec in YAML instead and the indentation rules felt quite shaky for me as a beginner (ie i wasn't entirely sure where things ended up with all the modes) so it was a lot of trial-and-error for someone unfamiliar with YAML as me (and it explains why I've kinda stayed away from it because writing it was as hard as reading it sometimes).

CSON seems to have a sweet-spot between them with less clutter than JSON but more straightforward block rules than YAML.

Best joke in the industry:

I think that's partly because by the time those components get to the cheap product they've been out in the wild for several years and improved substantially over time. The same thing happens with cars. Today, buying the top of the line BMW or Mercedes almost guarantees you more electrical/functional issues than a mid or entry level model where the technology is flowing down but been in the market for 3 - 7 + years and significantly improved.
Prolog interpreter is unlikely to be able to meet your performance needs although it would be a great ui. Search datalog and bdd and you should be able to find some good research and tools using bdd to support source code analysis related queries.
Google has $60b cash. Apple can borrow $205b, buy Google for $383b, use Google's $60b cash to pay off the debt, with Apple ending up owing $145b. It's not too unreasonable for a $718.66b company to be $145b in debt.

Alternatively, use a script and cash offer. Pay $178b in cash and the rest in shares.

All of this is possible, but as Page & Brin own 56% of voting power so all Apple would be getting is Google's income, but have no say to its decision making process. I assume Page & Brin aren't selling.

Not really worth it for an extra $16b per year.

> But people working on in-house and enterprisey stuff? Yeah, not so much there.

I suspect you are working from a limited sample size there.
> Think of a cap table as a blockchain of a company’s liabilities.

Are crypto-currencies now so familiar that we are explaining other concepts in terms of them, and not the other way around?
> the contents of any source media...should readily provide the raw, unencrypted content data

Once this crap becomes ubiquitous, why would companies ship unencrypted bits at all? They could send files encrypted with all the major OEM "protected content" keys. If you're running on non-supported hardware, well, sucks to be you, pirate. I imagine it's rather difficult to extract the private key from DRM hardware.

In the end, big media wins.
The goal is that the decoding is done by trusted hardware, not by software keys. So you can run VMs and open source, but they won't have the keys to decrypt the content.

Same deal with HDCP, where PCIe is treated as an unsafe bus, so data goes encrypted from the kernel to the GPU to the display device (something like that).

It's also why sometimes people have trouble watching Netflix or so on, because some part fails. Apple TV + Toshiba TV at my parents' has this problem maybe 1/10 times we try to play.

But you're right that encrypting a million end user devices is pointless if there is even one unencrypted point. No doubt hardware companies, movie companies, and Netflix are already wetting themselves with the prospect of having no unencrypted holes left. Still seems highly unlikely to actually work - piracy finds a way.

The solution I have used for this for well over a decade is Windows on the hardware, then a VM, then my OS of choice running full screen ontop. The overhead of even semi-modern virtualisation is pretty low, and you benefit from power management that has thoroughly matured.
Dan would later learn that there was a time when anyone could have debugging tools. There were even free debugging tools available on CD or downloadable over the net. But ordinary users started using them to bypass copyright monitors, and eventually a judge ruled that this had become their principal use in actual practice. This meant they were illegal; the debuggers' developers were sent to prison.

Hi,

* I'll definitely work on that category filter. I think you are correct, as it stands now it's too confusing to understand what is going on.

* 1.)I'm not sure what you mean about it collapsing into a single-line breadcrumb. Either way I think I might have a solution for this filter. How about if I seperate Vintage and Handmade into two separate columns and then you can clearly see that's it's "Vintage" or "Handmade".
2.) Counters, duh. I'm an idiot! I'll add that asap. Memcache for the win.
3.) Yes. I'll change the wording at the top of the filter too. "You are currently browsing...." sounds, well, uh, dumb. "Items for Sale in [Category Name]" I think is much much better.

*AHHH. The money. Yes. I should make that more clear on the "About Us" page. However as you probably guessed we make money off the banner advertising, I know, it's going to be a long hard slog to the top of this one! :)

Thanks again for your input. I really value your opinions and for the most part I'll be implementing all of them. You can almost guarantee they'll be done by this evening.

Thanks again!
Protocols are just a faster, less general version of multimethods. They dispatch only on the type of the first parameter, and they do it quickly.

This speed is important because it allows the java interfaces that define the core constructs of Clojure (such as clojure.lang.IFn, clojure.lang.Seqable, etc.) to be defined purely in terms of protocols, thus bypassing the need for Java altogether. Using multimethods would have been untenably slow.

Protocols can also be useful in that they recognize that certain behavior is defined by a set of functions, rather than just one. Consider the Cantor library (http://github.com/ztellman/cantor), which does simple floating point math. Using only multimethods, it's possible that you could define addition for a type, but not subtraction. With protocols, it's much more difficult to make that mistake.
True. I realized this a while ago and my life is a lot less confusing. I've dabbled in media long enough to know it's more magic than reality. When you need to find, shoot, and edit a piece in less than 24 hours on a limited budget the truth stretches as much as your dollars do (this varies on whether your producer is Lucifer himself or not). Long story short I'm not involved in media anymore, you should spend your time on things you hate loving versus things you love hating, and read HN.
This may be a stupid question, but by 'grant', do you mean a stock grant? Why would he agree to a grant of less than X% (which he currently owns)?

The last option is the default, and we are o.k. with it if it comes to that.
I'm curious, do you have an LLC or a C-Corp? Does anyone know, is this kind of situation easier to handle if you have a C-Corp?
Good idea but this would require us to wait till we raise funding, and therefore have a valuation. We are wondering if there is a way to resolve this right now so that it doesn't complicate an already complicated fundraising process.
So, I did say "any amount of money", not any amount of lives. I do think it's morally okay to trade one life for many (definitely ambiguous in terms of amounts because I don't feel like trying to figure that one out). In fact, I don't think you could justify war without also justifying this moral decision so I don't think it's very rare even if people don't often think about it.

This is a long and poorly written article to point out that the 2M podcasts on Apple Podcast follow a power law. 26% of podcasts have only produced one episode, 37% have produced 2 or fewer episodes, 44% have produced 3 or fewer episodes.

Then the article fails to do math for a bit. 44% of podcasts producing 3 or fewer episodes means 56% did 4 or more. So 880k have 3 or fewer, 1.12 M have 4 or more. But the article mixes that up:

> 44% of all podcasts have produced three or fewer episodes.

> If a 'real podcast' is a series of at least four episodes, that effectively reduces the total of two million podcasts to 880,000.
bubble.io?
> No, societies recognize that everyone shouldn't need to be a doctor/engineer/financial analyst to avoid harm in daily activities, so we collectively empower regulators like the FDA/FAA/SEC to protect us from unfettered capitalism.

This centralizes power to a few at the expense of the many. Furthermore I deem the social contract to be unethical so I would not include myself in the "everyone" camp. I'd much rather see watchdog organizations regulate the market.
There is a strangeness in the reasoning in the article. The claim is that these supercomputers pose a threat to the US but current purchases en route to China are exempted. Normally anything that poses a real threat would not create any exemptions.
