No, because there are also many social media reports that patients dying of "viral pneumonia" are not being attributed to Coronavirus - simply due to the overwhelming of medical professionals and the inability to sequence everyone's samples.

They aren't spending time confirming that dead patients had coronavirus when they are in crisis mode.
Because of the equipment out in the plant.

There are passive devices out in the field that split the upstream and downstream (such as directional couplers). Passive devices are favored over active devices whenever possible because they are much less likely to fail, are less expensive, and require less maintenance.

Copying my answer from "Ultrawide or 4k?" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21451124

> I picked 34" Ultrawide. It works just fine for everything. Easy to read, almost two "regular" monitors worth of screen space. Gaming on 3440x1440 is hard to max out (but easier than 4k), but you barely notice the difference between 3440x1440 and 2560x1080 in most games.

> I actually quite like the aspect ratio - it means I can have 2 windows in normal proportions (IDE for example) and another one on the side (terminal for example)

> 1 thing to note; I thought 34" Ultrawide will be bigger screen than it turned out to be.
The route you're talking about is basically Rail Baltica (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_Baltica) and the Helsinki-Tallinn Tunnel. The first project is agreed upon in theory, and the latter one is also included on long-range plans, although there is some criticism of the project on grounds such as financial feasibility and other issues (like the tracks being the only 1435mm track in these countries, who normally use 1520mm (or 1524mm) gauge).
The river was named due to a European associating it with the mythical warriors.
I have an LG 43" display at work, which probably uses the same panel as the Dell monitor.

It generally works as advertised, but sitting at distance one would normally site from a monitor (as demonstrated on Dell's marketing in the parent post), the extreme edges of the display aren't visible, because they're in the shadows of the bezel.

This is generally just a mild annoyance, but it can be workflow-impacting. For example, I use Ubuntu with the application launcher bar docked to the left side, which means that the dots indicating which application (and how many instances) are open is on the extreme left side of the display. I have to lean to my left in order to see these dots, because they aren't visible when I'm sitting upright and looking directly at the screen.

Also, while I've gotten used to it, sitting at a normal monitor distance involves a lot of vertical head movement.

Overall, I'm satisfied with what I got for the price, but I would have gotten the same 38" ultrawide that I use at home if I had the budget for it.

Sleeper trains are the best in my opinion. You board, shut your eyes, and when you wake up, you've arrived. No wasted time. A lot cheaper and a lot more pleasant than this "high speed" malarky. Especially now that "high speed" has come to equate "invasive security checks".

yeah, I find buffets are ideal for sampling lots of unfamiliar foods. I'm a lot more willing to try a small portion of something new than to actually order it as an entree.

now as far as value for your money goes, you probably don't come out ahead at an all-you-can eat buffet unless you bring a solid appetite with you. it's possible in GP's case that the cuisine of the restaurant itself is just too unfamiliar. the pickier attendees might not find anything they like. it's also possible that they don't want to be seen gorging themselves at a professional event where they are meeting a lot of people for the first time.
It costs roughly $5/million PUTs and $0.40/million GETs on S3 in addition to the bandwidth and storage you use.

S3 objects are also immutable. Once they’re written, they can’t be updated.

A read-only version of this might be useful, but probably wouldn’t work in-place.

Something that might be of interest is S3 SELECT support
that lets you query a single (optionally compressed) CSV, JSON or Parquet file server-side at the same cost of a regular S3 GET.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/selecting-co...

And if you really want relational (i.e. JOINs, aggregations and sub-queries) semantics on a bucket full of CSV, JSON, Parquet, ORC or regular-expression-describable files in a cost effective way that has great performance on buckets containing 100’s of TBs of data, definitely look at Athena which is only $5/TB of data scanned during a query.
I know this isn’t tech related, but Kobe was an idol growing up. I never played basketball, but looked up to his work ethic in so many different areas.

I've been incrementally tweaking my desktop setup for a decade, and it's always nice to look back and see how much more productive I am than N years ago.

But I'm shocked at what a quantum leap in productivity switching to i3wm was, with an upfront cost that's actually pretty low.

The last piece of my desktop usage that isn't controllable and amenable to incremental improvements is the browser. This is unfortunately a pretty large chunk of my recreational use, so my next mini-projects are probably going to be around investing in getting more familiar with extensions.

You can read and write sqlite files entirely without the library. The file format is available on the sqlite site. SQLJet proves the point that you don't need 139,000 lines of C code to use sqlite files.

Why just Octane? Indy, O2, and Indigos were way more common. Is it just that there are no surviving X drivers for the other platforms?
Rail networks require land for tracks. Acquiring new land for new networks is very expensive. Airspace is sort of abundant.

Both modes of transport require a lot of energy. Airline fuel is apparently virtually untaxed. Train operators, on the other hand, pay the full price for electricity.

Advantage of multiple monitors: you can turn one 90 degrees if you work a lot with vertical documents.
I once tried to plan such a train trip – I travel semi-regularly between Scandinavia and Central Europe – and while I wouldn't mind to take a two day trip as a bit of an adventure, the price was prohibitively expensive.

This is a nice idea though, I could see it being popular if they manage to keep the price reasonable. The journey itself could actually become part of the experience.
Driving is much safer in Germany than in the US though (less than half the deaths per car), so I would assume similar insurance is quite a bit cheaper. But there's no denying it's more expensive to have a car in Europe.
Would Gravitational ever think about creating a more generic layer on this, e.g.: to manage Mesos, Nomad, or something else entirely like Corosync via some kind of driver system?

No, you publish a negative result, which in many ways can be more or just as informative as a positive finding. See for instance https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1906848.

It's totally fair to do subgroup analysis, etc to try to better understand the data, but you have to keep in mind that you can't claim statistical significance on those without very careful control over researcher degrees of freedom and other related issues.

If you have full support for SQL, it means some queries can run for a few seconds, possibly even minutes (even sqlite supports some form of bfs). So will you just time-out those requests? That would make a lot of possible uses suddenly impossible.

I might consider the unmetered option, if the performance gain is worth the 6x cost of other providers.

For web and games, maybe your existing model could work, but then always having a recent backup also becomes more important (and for most sites, the lack of acid is a deal-breaker).

The nice thing about data-science is that you interact with the workspace yourself, so you know exactly when you want to save a snapshot.

I'm not following this argument, because the kind of reorganization you're asking for here is impossible, whereas simply creating new TLDs is relatively easily and has thus actually occurred.

So what exactly are you arguing? The CWA stipulates what is covered and the Army Core of Engineers is responsible for interpretation.

My point was that the rules rollback wasn't about farmers wanting to pollute or regulation of water ways, but rather about eliminating restrictions and regulations that inhibit land development on wetlands.

Nothing you have said challenges that assertion, you just seem to be hung up on whether or not the Fed has the right to regulate something.

Qubes OS version 4.0.3 released
I have a 40" 4k monitor that can fit 2 or 3 windows horizontally when helpful, but I agree that its killer feature is how useful the extra height is for coding.

That makes it sound like Linux is just a big dump of code. In reality, if you want to add some sort of device support, it's expected that your code will fit in with the rest of it, e.g. use device tree and all the other infrastructure, and use it correctly.

Some subsystems have stricter guidelines yet, e.g. if you want to add support for graphics hardware to DRM, the graphics subsystem, there must be a corresponding, fully featured open source userland implementation for it.
That price is obviously too high.
Congratulations, you have no customers now.

> That’s the SQLite database file format.

You got it!
SQLite is a file format.

> SQLite itself is a library that can deal with multiple files in different formats (transaction log and database file). It also reads .sqliterc and maybe others.

Yup you also got it! SQLite is not an RDBMS and shouldn't be approached that way.

The more you try to ram RDBMS ideas into what SQLite is, the more it won't be that. The more you try to treat it like a file format, the more it will be what you want.
the "CH" line of waxes (CH4/6/7/8/10) are not fluorinated. The waxes that start with LF or HF (low-fluoro and high-fluoro, respectively) are the fluorinated products.

you probably don't need to worry about handling LF or HF with gloves, it's not that toxic. but if you're waxing with them you should be wearing a respirator.
You're right, I didn't use the correct terminology and I appreciate the correction.

On the other hand, using information from Facebook themselves (creators of React Native), the cross-platform solution seems to be able to scale pretty darn well [1]. Facebook, Instagram, Bloomberg, Skype, Walmart, Uber... these are some pretty big names with some pretty big audiences. If React Native can get your company from a startup to the size of any of these companies, I'd say you're doing pretty well on the technology front.

Kind of like how Twitter had to do a major rewrite from Rails, but Rails got them to the point where they needed that rewrite.

yes absolutly! it should be a good mix of freely available packages, with meaningful default configuration.
So, I have been giving this a bit of thought, when I interview badly (and I have a zillion times), it's mostly because I'm not used to vocalising my thoughts whilst I work.

That is
interviewer: Tell me what your next step is in solving this problem
me: <radio silence>

The problem is two things, I, as an engineer, barely ever talk to people as I am solving whatever it is I am doing, so the interview is a completely artificial environment that I am not equipped for (although, as I interview more I get back into the groove and by the third or fourth interview I am able to anticipate the questions and produce a mechanical answer that satisfies the interviewer)

The second part of the problem is obvious, the interviewer has no clue why I cannot answer the question, so can only assume it's a lack of skills on my part.

Interviews are an artificial environment, there's no way an interviewer can actually tell from the interview whether the person in front of them is a good engineer or not.

When I have got a few interviews under my belt, I am fluent, and able to demonstrate my theory knowledge clearly. Have my skills changed? Not really, my interview skills for sure, but my engineering skills?

Interviewers often try to counter this by searching for some obscure factoid within the technology and wondering why people being interviewed don't know it (curiously there's the other problem here where interviewers themselves have an erroneous understanding of the technology and this leads to false negatives).

I didn’t think CH waxes had fluorocarbons at all. Their LF (Low Fluoro) and HF (High Fluoro) lines certainly do.

It's not about offense in the parent comment, it's about theft.

(Replied to op instead of comment):

Is your complaint about PowerShell the verbosity? Because I love its approach to this: full verbosity is the default (great for scripts), then terminal usage is improved by aliases (ForEach-Object is just %), great autocomplete via psreadline, and automatic parameter shortening: -re and -fo are automatically understood as -Recurse and -Force. Honestly makes every other shell a pain to use now for me.

Also having everything be object based is just...I have no idea how I lived before.

I have an LG 29", 2560x1080, flat monitor.

This doesn't surprise me. Most providers that are deploying DOCSIS 3.1 today are only doing OFDM in the downstream and the upstream is still doing ATDMA (same as DOCSIS 3.0). I'm sure there are some but I don't know of anyone doing 3.1 in the upstream yet.

If they did upgrade all their actives then 3.1 upstream is likely in the works. DOCSIS has some pretty amazing diagnostics and troubleshooting - I can look at a modem and say "approximately 71 ft from the modem there is a break in the cable causing an RF impairment" or "These 14 modems in the same neighborhood show the same impairment - there is likely a fault at this specific segment of cable". DOCSIS 3.1 expands on that even more and as more 3.1 CPEs get deployed operators are able to leverage that additional data to get the plant ready for 3.1 upstreams. OFDM frequencies are also not backwards compatible with 3.0 CPEs but a 3.1 CPE can bond both types of channels, so as the ratio of 3.1 CPEs increases that allows operators to shift more frequencies from legacy modulation to newer 3.1 modulation.
WeWork inks office space deal with SoftBank-backed Gympass: sources
For the longest time, I was using dual 1920x1080 screens.

Eventually, I decided to upgrade and got myself a 31.5" 4k display. That lasted about 6 months before I ditched it for a 34" 3440x1440p Ultrawide.

I found coding on the 4k screen to be just too difficult, I had to scale the text way up for things to be readable. However, since I use a laptop running Fedora which I connect to through a thunderbolt dock, I found one monitor to be much less... finicky than using two (I'd briefly considered getting two 2k screens). So far, I've been much happier with the Ultrawide.

My wife took the big 4k monitor off my hands and is using it with her mac mini. I'll admit, MacOS does appear to do a better job dealing with a 4k screen than Gnome.

Not an original comment, but people occasionally point out that neurons like other cells are descended from self-sufficient life-forms that do all tasks all by themselves, so it would be weird if they were as simple as the mathematical concept we want to assign to them.
