Perhaps laws should be created to acknowledge that time invested has value! The original content is not the only thing with a cost.

It is possible to spend endless hours to achieve something that only has meaning as long as a 3rd party decides to enable the foundation you are building on. This is true for games, 3rd party add-ons, time spent reviewing, etc. If a 3rd party plans to just rip your foundation away, then they should either be forced to give you some option not to do that (local server, etc.) or they should be forced to compensate you.

There are tipping points. If always taking the taxi everywhere is more expensive than the cost of owning your own car, then most people drive their own cars and taxis are for special occasions. If after a tech change always taking the taxi everywhere is less expensive than the cost of owning your own car, then most people would do just that, and only a minority would own a car.

A switch from 20/80 to 80/20 is transformative, changes the default attitude and has further societal effects.
I think it definitely is more appropriate in some domains than others. Sometimes you can replace 1000 words with a picture, 100 pictures with a video, and 10 videos with an interactive visualization. In that case, it might not actually be more work. I think the problem is that it's very different work, that professors aren't trained for. Again, it's not easy, maybe impossible. But if it could be done...

PS - I see you're at U as well. I work on a datavis team (iobio) in the genetics department (Steph says hi!). If you ever want to meet up I'd be interested in talking more about this.
And for that reason, the brief trend of urbanization has already reversed. Once the recession passed and millennials started having kids, they started moving back out to the suburbs: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/29/millennials-are-fleeing-big-...

I personally think that sucks (for the most part). But there are just a handful of cities where you can simultaneously satisfy the constraints of jobs, kids, decent schools, and reasonably priced housing. My wife and I couldn’t find anything in DC (we weren’t willing to spend $1.8 million on a house) so after years of living downtown, we finally bit the bullet and moved to the suburbs.

Keep in mind, the right model is a large number of overlapping S-curves. The virus may spread like wildfire once it's entered a city, but it first has to do so.

Wuhan is nearing the top of its S-curve, while other cities are still near the start. As such it would make sense for the number of cases to slow down even if it isn't actually being stopped.
Event-driven architecture can be nasty. Ideally, you want the point of origin of an action, and the point of its execution, to be connected by a chain of function calls which can be traced in a debugger.

Events are not easily traceable. An event is pulled from some event queue, and by the time that happens, the thing that put the event into the queue has long since buzzed off to do something else.

That's just one problem. The other problem is how events can be subject to a routing, translating, duplicating and splitting labyrinth. Events can bi{tri,quad,...}furcate. Just because your code is processing the event over here doesn't mean you were the first to do so, or the last.

I have a good idea! Let's process this event and re-inject it. Two years later, someone is debugging an event routing loop.

2: Free information is always of value, so how is this making it less valuable to the user? If it works as marketing for the host, so what? Doesn't make it less valuable. I know more now about company X than I would if it wasn't open. It's that simple.

3: Many countries around the world have a very open system where you can go to a government or private website (the information is usually provided by the government) and look up financial information about every company in that country.

Good place to start: building your own kernel from source. I tried that once and was quite overwhelmed with the sheer number of knobs and features that are available.

While I do still want a centralized list of things to do/check for hardening a kernel, I don't think it will _ever_ be exhaustive. And some pros/cons would involve very _deeply_ complex behavior which would be difficult to determine whether or not the tradeoff is even relevant.
I found SoundCloud great about 5 or 6 years ago - engagement was high, and I was getting lots of comments and interaction on my music, but lately, it has nosedived. Not sure if because there is just a lot more noise (pun intended) on there nowadays, or other artists have simply abandoned the platform??

BTW - my handle is: https://soundcloud.com/cyberferret

(very close to the adjective-animal name thing that another commenter mentioned! :) )

Look at the organic engagement from the tracks I posted 5+ years ago, versus later ones and you can spot the down trend quite easily!

I've actually worked on ranches in Colorado. Ranchers do graze their stock in the mountains. The other side of the coin is that the habitat for wolves is from sea level to approximately 9800' (3000m). They hunt wherever they can find herbivores. One part of ranching people don't seem to understand is that the rancher (by rancher I mean whoever is working on the ranch) is caring for living animals. That means he is looking out for these animals on a daily basis. I know their are ranchers who don't get attached to their stock, but they are definitely the minority. It's hard to care for anything daily and not get attached. I've seen ranchers in tears over the loss of a single cow, because they've cared for that cow since it was born. From time to time I would take a steer to slaughter so that we had meat in the freezer. The last thing I would do after unloading the steer would be to thank him for giving his life to feed my family. When a pack of coyotes take a calf, it is heart breaking to see the reaction of the mama cow. My neighbor last spring came upon a cow that was struggling to give birth and she was down. The coyotes had killed the calf and were eating it even though it was only part of the way out of the cow. Do you think that might have upset him a little? Now they want to release a much larger predator onto the land he is trying to care for. How do you think that makes him feel? There is more to caring for livestock than money.

I've heard the word "heuristics" more recently, but I think I learned (and later forgot) both terms when I was a kid.

One interesting thing about heuristics is that it's important to learn when they _don't_ apply. If a heuristic is true 80% of the time, it's also untrue 20% of the time.

And the obverse to that thought is that you shouldn't let that 20% fail rate discourage you from using the heuristic the other 80% of times.
50 EUR a year for an e-mail client? No wonder that never took off. Which features of Newton Mail did you use/need?

I can recommend p≡p (K-9 fork) [1] and FairEmail [2]. Both FOSS. FairEmail Pro features cost a one time fee of, I don't remember, less than 10 EUR (hence I don't remember). Supporting FOSS like that felt great.

Where I work we use git/GitHub, the readme docs should enable a new developer to set up easily. If your new employer doesn't have something like this, a great first thing to do is document the set up process, useful for your learning and for the next contractor after you. You can feel like you are adding value straight away. If it already exists the a) your set up is easier and b) you can alter it if necessary i.e you find an unmentioned issue and fix it.
For example, using the simple methodology, SARS' death rate was only about 3%, and that was the number most media used during the outbreak. But years after the epidemic ended, once researchers had greater access to medical records, the death was determined to be 10-15%, or roughly 3-5x higher than originally reported.

In the cases of NCV, there is already significant evidence of under reporting of fatalities by Chinese authorities in Wuhan (some sources suggest that up to 90% of NCV deaths in China may be unreported).

And as the cruise ship stuck outside of Japan demonstrates, the virus may be far more virulent (i.e., contagious) than previously thought.
What is with this thread of conversation?

"Don't send emails like that because they could end up in eDiscovery."

How about, don't do things in a way where eDiscovery is likely to be an outcome, and actually foster processes that act on quality issues instead of telling the people you're shouldering with making this work with enough weight on their conscience that the only way they feel like they can cope with the foreseeable tragedy is to at least make sure there is some note in the record somewhere that they tried and could do nothing despite it all?

I have absolutely no respect for for anyone who is so caught up with these messages sound, that they can't read between the lines to see the picture of the completely dysfunctional dynamic these people had to be operating within.

The lower an engineer ends up stooping, the worse and more endemic the problems they are facing likely are. If your company has those types of email at all, whether they get out should be the least of your concerns!

The mentality being demonstrated admonishing delivery and sweating on the damage from dirty laundry being aired instead of the fact there is dirty laundry to air at all is like worrying whether or not you left the faucet on when your house is below sea level, and the tsunami is already on the way.

And apologies to those from New Orleans, or the Netherlands; to be fair I could have used leaving the burner on and fires on the way and pissed off the Californians and Aussies, but water was the first thing that came to mind.

And I'm not letting the engineers entirely off the hook either! If they felt that strongly, they should have walked away to, but I can forgive a lot more in the name of familial security than I can the pursuit of profit at all costs.

It does, but that's a known factor which all medical professionals are aware of. The true number is unknowable until the epidemic is over, so they give the best number we've got in full knowledge that the numerical value will be wrong.

Right now it's a massive gamble to sign up for one and hope you're not being scammed. Once perception catches up to reality it might poison the very idea of bootcamps in the public consciousness.
That gif at the top reminds me of an IQ test I took in 6th grade. There was an entire section where they would show you a sequence of gears and tell you what direction one of them was spinning. Then they would ask you what direction some other gear was spinning.

Great article. It's an interesting framing, that Boeing's woes stem from a shift from "great engineering firm protected by airlines' government-mandated monopolies" to "lean engine of capitalism."

They do graze in the mountains, just not much compared to the rest of the state. Not really a fan of that either as the cows leave excrement all over trails and roads. If this prevented the practice and nothing else I'd still be for it. Cows aren't supposed to be part of nature, they're an environmental disaster themselves.

This seems to be mostly just an emotional appeal rather than a practical one.

Also, we should totally get rid of the refinery too, I'm all for equal opportunity environmentalism.
Yeah, it's not much in raw dollars, but the percentage increase is significantly above inflation. Imagine if everything you pay for increased in price by 7% every year while you're getting a measly 1% or 2% raise like most people.
EDIT: Hubei Province added 14,840 new cases today, my earlier analysis isn't right anymore. I've left it below.

Infected case growth has slowed down primarily because of the quarantine of Hubei province. The virus has up to a two week incubation period, and today two weeks later we're able to result of this quarantine. Case growth in Hubei has slowed down.

The issue now is that every major city in China has local infection clusters, and these infection clusters are growing exponentially.

Even if the net case growth rate is decreasing, the situation is less under control than ever before. Look at China's actions; they're past containment methods and now acting on mitigation.

to compare them to terrorists.

There are no terrorists at Guantanamo - at least not until such time as we hold a trial to determine whether they are. In this case that's not splitting hairs, the failure to observe the Bill of Rights is quite the point.
I don't think that's true at all. If you have a grievance, you can bring a case in American court and be assured of at least a reasonably fair hearing. Far better than in China, at any rate.
I wrote my very own Firefox Sync Server, completely from scratch, based on their docs but also based on mozilla-services's Python code and some Firefox OS codebase. I mostly used Go as a programming language and AWS Lambda/DynamoDB as a way to store and serve API endpoint.

> [...] I found the documentation to be sparse and the software ultimately non-functional.

Yes, my first take on the documentation was the same - existing but hard to understand in first proof-read. As I implementing my own sync and token server I really often I was catching myself "hey, you don't have to look into Python code, they really wrote how it should work in docs", especially [0] and [1] pages. There are also few other websites owned by Mozilla, which are very outdated, so also misleading.

Ah, worth noting is about:sync extension [2] and logs stored in the profile directory, which may help you to investigate some issues that might come during development and maintenance.

> Has anyone had any positive experiences with self-hosting the Firefox Sync Server?

I am biased a bit, because I had one very negative experience related to token verification error, which costed me ~4 dollars, before I noticed and I had put service into downtime for some months.
However, I am really happy about a whole project. Operational costa are is about few cents per month. It also helped me to write some tools I use on daily basis and preserve knowledge I have learned about serverless applications on AWS.

Almost all hallucinogenic drugs lasting for more than 18 hours are considered bad drugs. Eg the DOx series psychedelic amphetamines (excluding DOM, which people like for some reason), most of the benzofurans, the alkaloids of the Datura plant, etc. Even non-hallucinogenic drugs with long half-lives are considered not ideal (see the long lasting benzodiazepines especially).

LOC is a poor way to measure progress, but it's not a bad sanity check on time estimates for a proposed project. Most experienced programmers have some points of reference where they know the approximate LOC count, and can make a rough functionality/complexity analogy to a proposal. If the proposal is less time than the team could possibly generate a comparable amount of tested code at 10-100 lines/day (wherever your team is in that range), then you should probably revisit the estimate.

Apply a few of these kinds of comparisons using different metrics, and you may be able to improve your estimates.
