I think a lot of people, myself included, don't know the nominal value of their total compensation. If their employer pays the full costs of their health insurance plans, I don't think many people know what those costs are.

Also, as others have pointed out, certain components of total compensation, like various forms of 'equity' in the employer company, are not reasonably equivalent to cash, and no one could feasibly evaluate the cash value at any particular moment in time given all of the relevant variables needed to even estimate those cash values.

What does it really matter what journalists actually write a piece when the publication's editors change it and have the final say for what gets published anyway?

A lot of people seem to forget how much editing by more than one person actually goes into a lot of professional writing. Editors probably have the most control over things that end up published, more so than the original writers of a piece usually do.

This is amazing! Thank you very much, I will set it up along Google Auth in my phone and add it to my home "backup phone".

One thing that had bothered of Google Auth for a long time is the fear of losing my phone and having to go hunting down all the authentication information. And never considered Authy because using an "online service" for these kind of things just seems wrong to me.
That's a weird example to use. Did the servicemember die on duty? I can't think of any situation in which a U.S. media outlet wouldn't publish both the name and photo (if the latter is available). There's generally no widely-held ethical (nor legal) issue from publishing info about a deceased person, military or not.

In reality the vast majority of people get no symptoms or just basic cold symptoms and will have no idea whatsoever they ever had “COVID-19”.

Both 2% and 7% will end up being massively overstated fear-mongering in a “pandemic” that never really actually qualified as such, and will kill less than 1/100th the number of people who die from Flu this year.

People do exactly that. More cores, even at a lower frequency still benefit from the ratio of cycles to memory latency being reduced. The computing power and energy usage is much better, the problem is only software taking advantage of more cores. Intel's most expensive 28 core CPUs have lower clock speeds and more cores.

> Rust is better _at the problem presented_.

What I'm suggesting is that wasn't demonstrated. Go had a real-world used-in-anger problem. That was compared to an idealized solution in Rust. It seems to me that this is an unfair comparison.

Fair enough, it is hard to demand anyone who wishes to make a comparison between two programming languages to have built equivalent massive systems that stretch each language to their limits. But the point of the article wasn't to compare languages, it was to show the kinds of problems exposed in Go when it is used in massive real-world systems. So maybe it would have been better to leave the comparison out.

Sorry, I thought Feather supported random row access but it turns out it only supports random column access.

For fst, I only played with the R interface, which would be called like this to retrieve row 12345 from the "fingerprint" column:

read_fst("library.fst", columns="fingerprint", from=12345, to=12345)

However fst didn't offer a raw/binary column datatype last I checked, which is frustrating. It has chr (string) but R can't have embedded NUL bytes in strings, so that was a dead-end for efficient storage of binary fingerprints for R. I didn't check if the underlying fstlib structures accept NULs in string columns.
Yup. I grew up in dorms at boarding school. The art was to wake up five minutes before the bell, so you could be first in line for the showers and get hot water, and then to breakfast before they ran out of the good choice. You couldn’t have an audible alarm, as you’d wake others and then you’d have competition.

So, you just trained yourself to wake on time, at 0657 or whatever time shortly before 0700 you thought wise - after all, you didn’t want to be early, as then you’d just stand in a freezing corridor, and you’d have wasted precious minutes of sleep. Eighth was the perfect place in line, as that was how many shower heads there were. I digress...

To this day, I have zero need for an alarm clock - I just pick the time I want to wake at, and I do, within a minute. I can decide to have a 15 minute nap and it’s exactly that. If I don’t set a constraint, I sleep on until I “naturally” wake up.

I have absolutely no idea how this unconscious dead reckoning of time works, but it does. I’m not as good at it awake as I am asleep - I only manage ten minute accuracy.

Another plus is that you don’t get sleep inertia like you do when woken by something suddenly, and instead wake up, well, awake.

I work in an outpatient medical office. Our office manager said that the major mask supplier that we use is rationing the number of boxes of masks that can be ordered, but still fulfilling orders. So while there may be a true shortage in medical facilities in the future, current shortages are in retail. Or at least that's my n=1 data point.
Yes,

Ignoring that trying to convince the entirety of society to never drink again at social gatherings (even in your "drunk at home" ideal unless people exclusively drink alone and never at other people's homes they will still need a way to get home) is a complete non-starter based on the last 9,000-odd years of human society and interaction.

Ignoring that removing all public consumption of alcohol from bars, restaurants, sports events, and basically everywhere else would have a huge knock-on effects for all sorts of areas of the economy.

Ignoring that many people are able to drink the 2-3 beer that makes it illegal for them to drive without becoming a "slobbering mess-making drunk".

Ignoring all the thousand other anti-social things people do on transit and in public that makes life miserable most places.

I used a 486 66dx2 with 20 megs of ram until 2001 when I got a laptop for college. FreeBSD and console only programs but it got the job done. Did all my high school work on it and an external X2 modem. Even brought it to college and slapped a network card in it to act as a proxy server. They have us 1 gig of data per day. But they did it by MAC address not port. So I just had all my friends proxy over to that box and it would just change MACs right before the gig. Unlimited data!

I was mistaken; wasn't thinking clearly as I responded. JVM can get away with this because it's generational/moving; bump allocator works in the young generation and then objects are subsequently moved. Generational/moving is tricky, especially with C APIs (if the GC moves an object that C has a pointer to, the C code dereferencing the pointer will find potentially garbage data) and I believe they make it difficult to get good STW times, but at this point I'm pretty well out of my depth.

Unfortunately, it will be a very small signal relative to the total number of respiratory illnesses at this time of year. Moreover, there's often a multi-week lag-time between it spreading and getting cases that get severe enough for hospitalization. Until there's a critical mass of enough infected to get sufficient number of patients with ARDS (like the woman at the UC Davis Medical Center), it may be hard to notice. The problem is, once it's noticed through this method, it's likely spread to a significant number of people. This is what happened in Northern Italy and Iran (and to some extent in Wuhan as well).

It is not uncommon for me to wake up 2-3 minutes before the alarm goes off. As I switch off the alarm clock then, the alarm never goes off. So no funny brain things going on, the internal timer can be very precise.

Of course it also happens, that I sleep like a log until the alarm warkes me. The waking up in time usually happens when there is an urgency to be on time.
That's a detached, rational, coherent way of looking at things that has very little to do with how actual people "use" the blue checkmark, and how Twitter grooms its users to use it.

The more complicated reality of how the checkmark works is that Twitter wants to have things both ways: the checkmarks promote accounts, and Twitter benefits from the increased engagement resulting from promoted accounts, and promoted accounts benefit from the exclusivity of the checkmark. But promoting accounts also puts Twitter on the hook, perceptually, for what some of those accounts say, so Twitter also has a fig leaf notion of the checkmark as simply a "verification system". But it's obviously not that.
Erlang's gc is excellent and very much concurrent, but depends on architectural assumptions you don't get on other languages.
Can't you just verify this by hitting a timer at the time you are thinking "this is just before the alarm will go off".... then you can verify if this is really just minutes before the alarms was going to go off.

My guess is sometimes it's an hour before the alarm, but it just feels like a minute before, since you actually doze off again...

An alarm going off if a very disruptive disturbance to your sleep cycle, and it is predictable.

Your subconscious mind perceives it as a predictable negative event and wakes you up in an attempt to prevent the disturbance.

> Why not?

Your question seems to have nothing to do with what you quoted. The context for that was the case where, given what we know about the transmission parameters of the virus, it was plausible that the employee had infected others. And in that case, of course the company has no choice in the matter. Those people get isolated, no matter what.

What you seem to want to discuss is a totally different case. One where the authorities don't think there's sufficient risk to isolate anyone, but the company shuts down the office anyway. Correct?

Surely there's some kind of a threshold that comes into play in that case. There must be scenarios where transmission is so unlikely that you think there's no point in shutting down the office. One in thousand? One in a million? One in a trillion?

Maybe I am misunderstanding your point here, but isn't making RuntimeException be the base for internal problems the issue the parent poster was talking about? Divide by zero is an obvious case, but what about when invalid or misconfigured data of some type is passed into a method? This is "internal", ie inside the program, unless I am misunderstanding your terminology? It isn't an external problem, so it isn't a checked exception, which means that the caller to your method doesn't necessarily actually need to handle RuntimeException that you would throw, meaning we're back in the C world of optional error handling?

I might be missing your point, but I would think that making it so that only program-external problems throw checked exceptions defeats a lot of the forced error handling power that checked exceptions grant?
With Rust you can also convert to `Vec<T>` where T is either `u8` or `u16` and use generics to work on any. ️

And there are probably handful of libraries that would help with all that too. Also - whatever convenient functionality you might want, can be added in the future without issues. Hardly a language flaw - just a minor unimplemented functionality.

HIMSS is using the word "isolated" [1]. HHS defines "isolation" and "quarantine" as the following [2]:

"Isolation is used to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy. Isolation restricts the movement of ill persons to help stop the spread of certain diseases. For example, hospitals use isolation for patients with infectious tuberculosis.

Quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of well persons who may have been exposed to a communicable disease to see if they become ill. These people may have been exposed to a disease and do not know it, or they may have the disease but do not show symptoms. Quarantine can also help limit the spread of communicable disease."

Seems like the only real distinction is in terms of whether on not you're currently ill, but fundamentally they both restrict movement.

From HIMSS [1]:
"Screening procedures established by the CDC will be conducted on site throughout the conference; HIMSS and the Orange County Convention Center will consult health teams at Orlando Health when necessary.

Should screening reveal an elevated risk for an attendee, the person will be isolated immediately to prevent exposure to conference participants."
