The main reason now is that the confirmation method of infection is still under debate and improvement. The current method is nucleic acid detection, which only has about 50% accuracy, so obviously a huge number of people out there cannot be diagnosed, and they won't be added to the official number.

And there are also rumors out there saying the lack of medical resources. Sick people couldn't get proper medical treatment and dying at home or somewhere. Because they didn't get diagnosed before they die, so the number won't be added to the official number. Don't know if it's true or how many people are dying there, but sure it's terrifying.

About misreporting, they did do it back in January, mainly because they want to control the panic as they always do, (and probably they didn't know it's gonna be this bad), but it should be much better now (I hope).

The root cause of this is the "American rule" of costs. It's no where near as viable to troll when you have to pay their costs when you lose (especially given that frequently the plaintiffs are lawyers themselves, so aren't actually spending any legal fees to troll).

The case portrayed in the TV show "Silicon Valley" was illustrative: "best just to settle because it'll cost us less", because the mere act of suing itself financially damages the victim, often severely, given lawyers' typical rates.

But not so under the "English rule": it costs you nothing if they lose.

This looks ... terrible. I bet it works and delivers value or something, but that doesn't mean it's something to be proud of or to defend how it's designed.

I mean surely there is a better way than thousands of database tables ... with separate business logic.

Do I understand correctly that for a "small to medium" business, they would only use a fraction of the functionality / database tables, but in order to support all potential "small to medium" businesses, it needs to be this convoluted mess?

When I tried spotify a few years ago, it was exactly this aspect that totally failed my expectations.
I wanted a service like Spotify as a replacement for genre radio. I wanted something that somehow figures out my tastes, and generates a mix for me.
In my experience, this totally fails unless you happen to like the most commercial pop music available.
Whenever I tried to coax it to play some alternative and undergroundy music, it ended up playing
the most commercial nonsense after 2 or 3 tracks.
I haven't tried a single streaming service since, because I dont feel I want to be poisoned by the most empty and stupid music in existance.

Why do you feel the parent needs to justify their preferences of vinyl over CDs?
I'm using Firefox and I see that quite often on websites.
Only one item on your list faithfully follows the soundwaves. The rest are inaccurate in their own unique way. Microphones throw out sound you don't want. The entire cutting needle thing has some pretty fundamental accuracy limits. The record player introduces all kinds of distortion, my favourite being the 'wow' of a motor turning at an inconsistent speed, causing minor fluctuations in pitch. The speakers, if they were actually accurate, would make the flaws in most recorded music really obvious (which is why those speakers never make it outside recording studios/aren't marketed to consumers). Not even the soundwaves do, if you're in a room.

You missed the point of vinyl, which is that the inaccuracy sounds good. Digital inaccuracy, like what you get out of most crappy builtin DACs, doesn't sound good. If you have to have inaccuracy, which you do, vinyl folks prefer the vinyl kind. It doesn't bring you closer to the original sound, it just sounds old, and old must be closer to the past, right? But it sounds better, so you are right to enjoy it.

> But, how did they manage to catch up on Intel? Is there a catch? How did it go so wrong for Intel?

I have no idea if this is true: this is just my theory.

AMD struck it out of the park when they started using a chiplet architecture. It's really great for 1 socket and is pretty good for 2 sockets.

The thing to understand about chiplets is: each chiplet is a separate CPU that has to perform cache coherency. The cache coherency traffic increases as the square of the number of CPUs, so you just can't have that many talk to each other at one time.

Intel dominates the multi-socket server market and I think they wanted to maintain that dominance, so they just didn't want to go down the chiplet road, as it would really hurt their performance on 4+ socket systems.

The result, though, is that in 1-2 socket systems, AMD has a big price/performance advantage over Intel, a big part of which is due to the way chip yields work.

Same as the last time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Keller_(engineer). Curiously Jim is at Intel now. So if Intel lets him do his thing, they'll be un-fucked in the near future as well, after which Jim will depart to unfuck something else.

Searching everything takes lots of time, searching through an indexed database takes less than a second. When in windows I use a locate-port[1] that I use to index any local disks as well as remote network shares of interest. It would take about an hour to search everything.

But an hour wouldn't be that bad, the problem arises when you are not quite sure what you are looking for. Getting the response back instantaneous is invaluable because you can refine your search in seconds.

A common reason for the anti-necktie sentiment among workers is that the tie represent a symbol of submission and slavery (i.e., having a symbolic chain around one's neck), marking which males are lower on the social ladder and thus unsuitable mates.
Just as an aside: "accuracy" is a pointless measure if you don't also know the ratio of true cases to false cases. The metrics you really want is the True/False Positive rates - without that you can't gauge the quality of a test like this.
> Better to get resolution failure.

But this is just as env specific! The point is that the “copy hosts” people are basically saying in their env that serving potentially stale records is the preferred failure mode.

> Zone xfer!

Yes! I just with the software support was better/more mature for “caching servers” (i.e clients) to act as slaves for zones rather than catching requests in-flight.

> Running a DNS server on each client...

This is what Ubuntu has done for ages with dnsmasq and now systemd-resolved. Every Linux server these days is running a DNS server.

This isn’t a “solving problems“ thing. This is a “what sounds happen in the event of a failure of those well configured and monitored DNS servers.” You can’t just be like “just never fail” as a solution.

I'm a bit surprised to see the comments here on automated gas station pumps. I've used quite a few different ones in a few different countries of Europe (where I go outside Europe, usually the stations are not automated so I can't compare) and I have never had this kind of slow experience.

Here in Belgium I don't even get asked if I want a receipt, I can just ask it afterwards if I like (just like for the rewards card). The worst I've had were in store French supermarket stations where for a while they had audio ads playing while you were filling up, that was absolutely horrible and I stopped going there. Eventually those things went away.

But the interface itself always asks for the least possible things. Diesel/gasoline 95/gasoline 98 then the card PIN, and you can fill up.

Help me build a ranking of colleges according to criteria that you care about
Hey HN. So you know how all official uni rankings like Shanghai, QS, Times etc rank unis according to boring stuff that is almost irrelevant to college applicants, like quality of research and number of nobel laurates?
For this reason I've created this spreadsheet where we can all input data about universities and colleges. Once we have enough data I'll put this onto a website where we'll be able to compare universities or rank them according to the criteria of your choice (for instance - universities ranked according to nightlife or cost of living). This is totally inspired by NomadList - I feel like the situation was the same with digital nomads having to choose a city to live in, until Peter created his awesome website.

This is the link:

Figured out the answer:

From the perspective of operating system, the approach would be to find out whether the current implementation of memory management and scheduler management yield the output expected. If we are not sure about it, then go deep and find what scheduler algorithms would work for the input and output your operating system is expected to handle. Then, build from there!
On the other hand, there’s this other saying that we should never attribute to malice that what can equally be attributed to incompetence.

I agree with you that it’s suspicious, but then again, it’s also easy to see how a notification for a software update would be overlooked as not important.

This is why I personally force GPLv3 licenses in my own projects, even if it's fairly small.

Plenty of Microsoft shops are deeply invested in technologies like WCF, EF6, ODP.NET, WPF/Forms component libraries, commercial CMS stacks (e.g. Sitecore), and aren't willing to allocate budgets to rewrite what is working perfectly fine.

The kind of enterprises where deployments on IIS, with AD infrastructure on premises, Windows on all company layers are still the name of the game, with some Linux servers for running SAP and a couple of other Java based services.

What is missing from .NET Core 3.1?

Besides what I have listed above, EF 6 on Core doesn't support the Visual Studio graphical tooling nor the EF 6 .NET Framework EF providers, WPF/Forms designers are still WIP and have issues with commercial component libraries, WCF well, no one is looking forward to rewrite their working code with gRPC.

And many are still a little burned with Silverlight and how the whole WinRT, UAP, UWP story went.

Back in the .NET Code 2.0 days, I had a project to rewrite a .NET Application into Java, because the customer in question saw a better business value in doing so than investing in .NET Core. Mainly because .NET Core didn't had support for some critical libraries being used in the .NET Application, while the libraries vendor did support a Java counterpart for them.

Yes, they will eventually move to .NET Core, when it makes business sense to allocate budget to do so.

That is just my experience, others will vary.

Specifically: I type ope and the top of the list is Skype, then the Opera folder, then Office. When I add an r then About Your PC is at the top. then opera.pak, and at last Opera. But even if I type Opera the hit I expect is still not at the top of the list.

With Keypirinha it remembers which one I choose and promotes it to the top.

And that was before Search stopped working. If I didn't need SQL Server and Visual Studio for the work I do I would not have Windows on any of my own hardware.

Right, but the terms of the licence that VPL itself adopted forbids VPL from making its own software available in the App Store, given the known restrictions.
As far as I've understood, it's complicated but I think some or all of the following reasons are involved in Intel starting to lose its foothold on the market:

- AMD got a new very competent CEO (Lisa Su) that managed to save the company and turn its fortunes around;

- In the last decade, Intel seemingly forgot what its core businesses were, and instead invested lots of its time and resources to try to break into new markets such as smartphone CPUs and modems (failing miserably at that);

- AMD is fabless; they got rid of their expensive fabs in the '00s by spinning them off as GlobalFoundries. When TSMC perfected its 7nm node, they just jumped manufacturers;

- Intel has lost the fabs lead it had years ago; I still remember them releasing 22nm chips while AMD was still on GloFo 45nm. Intel has been stuck on its 14nm node for years, and they haven't been able to release 10nm chips until last year;

- AMD saw a clear market interest for CPUs with a higher core count, and they managed to deliver a "good enough" CPU that appealed to buyers in a stale market. The Ryzen R7 1700 had slightly lower single-threaded performances than Intel, but it offered immensely better multicore performances than its Intel equivalent for a comically low price point, on cheap motherboards and with its stock cooler;

- Due to almost complete lack of competition from AMD for almost a decade, Intel got greedy and CPU prices skyrocketed; in 2017 an 8 core HEDT CPU from Intel was sold at a price close to $1100, which is almost as much as a whole R7 1700 setup costed. AMD had nothing to lose and no risk of market cannibalisation, so they could just price their CPUs at much lower price point than Intel;

- Ryzen is arguably a good design, and AMD's idea of making high core count CPU by interconnecting small quad-core CCXs instead of making huge dies like Intel Xeons was a bet that really paid off. Operating systems already more or less supported NUMA-like architectures, and AMD got from this a very scalable architecture. Like Threadripper has shown, they can just "glue" CPUs together; the final result is a much bigger package and a huge socket, but nobody really cares about that.

The thing about performance is that it's almost always a trade-off. For very mature projects, you hardly ever get a win on everything, you usually get an increase here and a decrease over there. It's very likely that optimizing for the microbenchmarks is actually hurting the real world performance, which is why it's gotten worse over time. So, optimizing for the microbenchmarks is more likely than not to actively harm real world performance.

For example, if you have a caching scheme that was designed to make the microbenchmark better, it could very easily make real world performance worse. Like if the microbenchmark used 100 sized X blocks, so you pre allocated those on start-up, great microbenchmark speed up. But in the real world that hurts start-up time, and the cache is probably not fully utilized.

A lot of times it's good to use microbenchmarks as a signpost, to indicate if some performance tuning causes a massive degradation that is unexpected.
