Even in C bit twiddling, I'd write

x & ~n

rather than

x &~ n

The former is much easier to parse (at least to me). ~ is a unary operator, so it's easy to think of ~n as one thing. But &~ is two operators, which I think of as two things, not as one (even if the combination is common).

The grandparent comment wasn't "bringing up tradeoffs". They literally just said real devs don't use frameworks.
Taiwan's solution is brilliant! Incentivizing the customer to ask for the receipt instead of putting the onus on the store who is incentivized to not book the sale at all.

I hope policymakers will consider creative ideas like that instead of punishing consumers who use cash (still legal tender, for now) to conduct business.
I wonder how much of that information would be actionable though... I remember a story I heard at my last employer, one of our younger designers had brought some work home and his father, a VP for a rival company, saw his screen and exclaimed "This makes so much more sense! Why aren't we doing this?!"

But of course, they didn't start doing it like that because they had a huge workforce already trained on their own process and the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. I'm not sure how I would actually exploit a rival's meeting minutes even if I had them and no scruples.
In 2001 tech ran almost exclusively on recycled VC/IPO money. A company got VC or IPO money, they spent money on ads, the ad company spent money on hardware, the hardware company spent money on ads, and around in a circle it went. When cheap capital disappeared, so did the whole industry.

In 2020 there's a lot more VC money, but there's also a lot more real money. A recession isn't going to stop people from buying diapers on Amazon.

So I don't think the next crash will be as bad for tech as 2002 was. It is going to be a lot worse than 2008, though.

Babylon's actions do not surprise me in the slightest. As a former employee I have grave concerns about the way this company operates.

Senior management seems bi-polar at best. The cult like leader preaches great culture and vision on a path to change to world, yet on the other hand being ruthless to the point of people burning out and getting fired (more like "disappeared") for standing up against unreasonable requests and risky management decisions.

Their technology teams and platforms are a shambles. Lots of staff members question the accuracy and validity of the "AI" behind the chat bot. When a simple linear regression used to "predict" your step count is presented as if it is a breakthrough in AI then one starts to worry.

Almost all teams suffer from burnout, low morale and everything is constantly a top priority for management. The average tenure of a permanent employee is 9 months. Not a very good sign for a healthcare company.

I would not be surprised if this turns into a Theranos style scandal. (Just dont ever mention the words Theranos to the founder or higher ups as that will be the end of your time at Babylon)
In the late 80s early 90s I was against nuclear power, because I saw no reason people/govt would want to off of it until the collected problems were disastrous.

In the late aughts I changed my tune because coal is just too disastrous and indeed, people/govts werent motivated enough.

So while I understand the simple practicality of going nuke to get off coal, I also expect that most of the potential downsides of nuclear will become reality before people will be motivated enough to do anything about it.
Ooh, thanks! That sounds like a much smarter solution.

I thought you would present an argument for this method of taxation being more authoritarian than using environmental regulation (i.e. just banning cars with bad fuel economy, or setting CO2 limits on households) instead. (I find the latter more oppressive in my opinion)

I'm the civil servant who was leading on the UK regs until 2015 when I was pushed out of the job for taking out a whistle-blower case. George Monbiot has done a good job overall and he asked me to clear the final draft. It's an immensely complicated mass of issues, with the hugely powerful flame retardant industry pulling the strings. They played a big part in setting up these Regulations in the first place; just like they did in the US. It's not going to get any better unless action is taken. Just yesterday, I met the civil servants currently responsible and under questioning, admitted they aren't going to change anything for at least another 9-12 years.

These comments make me sad as i work there, at ibm and in the cloud business. But i have to agree with you.

> I think when this all comes to an end, China will be one of the countries that dealt with the virus the best.

Its either a bait and switch or humblebrag or just plain misunderstanding. The Chinese government and their insecurity of looking bad to the world are the reason we are in this mess. They lied about the virus, covered up the extent of infection and with all their "resources" its an American company that might just develop a vaccine. And should that be the case American capitalism might be the one that saves us from a pandemic. In retrospect it might just end up that China is great at brute force labour intensive methods but lag behind when it comes to high tech solutions.

The nuclear industry is still wearing the ball and chain of solid fuels. Everything wrong with nuclear energy is due to that single engineering faux pas. Oak Ridge ran an MSR for 5 years. It would be tragic if it couldn't be mended but it can. I'm 100% sure that Gen 4 will dominate energy generation within 2 decades. I'd put money on that.
The exact cases where human reaction times fail are already taken care of by local subsumptive AI† in cars. For example, collision avoidance is “AI”; lane-keeping and adaptive cruise-control are “AI”; etc. For that matter, an automatic transmission is “AI” in the sense of abstracting away a clutch and gears under a prediction of when you’d want them used.

† ...which doesn’t actually imply anything to do with Machine Learning. Your computer downclocking when it overheats rather than catching on fire, is an example of “subsumptive-architecture artificial intelligence”, even though it’s a hand-coded algorithm doing the subsumption. The “artificial intelligence” in this case refers to the emergent property of the layered subsumptive processes, not to the processes themselves.
Yeah, but if 2% of all the Chinese die that's going to mess their economy up real good. Considering the whole thing is a house of cards, I'm bullish on the coronavirus.
The 2.3% figure comes from here:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762130?gu...

Note that they are looking at people who were diagnosed up through Feb 11th. It normally takes people 3 - 4 weeks to die from the disease, and it hasn't even been 3 weeks from Feb 11th, so it seems like this figure is designed as a lower bound.
I think more generally it's used to denote code that runs the same on browser and back-end.

If you have a few minutes, check out a screencast or two from their docs [0]. I was very much in agreement that utility-first looked pretty awful until I saw it in practice.

After watching a few of those I started thinking about how much faster it could be to use these utility classes instead of writing it by hand. Everywhere he adds a few quick classes I was thinking "here I'd be going back to the CSS, hunting for that class name, maybe duplicating it to create a unique variation... and it took him 7 seconds with a utility class. Hm."

Haven't gotten to try it on a project yet but it's on my list.

Having been involved in a number of these reports, this is flat-out false. Basic "fix your CSS to not rely on this Chrome bug; here's the exact diff you want to make it work both in browsers that follow the CSS spec and in Chrome" things regularly take 2-3 months to apply on the Google side. Basic "your browser user-agent sniffing is broken _again_ in the same way as three months ago" things take a month or two to fix.

Less than 1%? Not true in the slightest.

In the US alone, wind and solar (including rooftop) produce approximately 11% (about 53GW average) of electrical energy given the very latest data (last 12 months rolling) from: https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...
(and this should be updated today)

The US consumes about 485GW average electricity, compared to the world total of 2485GW average. So approximately 1/5th.

So US solar + wind ALONE is at least 2% of global electric generation (50GW/2485GW > 2%), twice your claim (again, this is just the solar and wind in the US compared to world total electricity). I suspect your figures are far outdated (not uncommon in this field...).

EDIT: This is still using old data (2018), but it shows that 7.5% of global electricity energy (again, energy, not mere nameplate power) comes from solar+wind: https://yearbook.enerdata.net/renewables/wind-solar-share-el...

How does setting a higher severity for one bug over the other help devs?
This article does a terrible job of explaining the specific threat. A few paragraphs in, buried, is this:

> ... It took until last year for mattresses and furniture containing the highly toxic retardant deca-BDE to be banned, under European law, from sale. ...

If that's the threat, then Wikipedia has a long way to catch up:

> In 2004, ATSDR wrote "Nothing definite is known about the health effects of PBDEs in people. Practically all of the available information is from studies of laboratory animals. Animal studies indicate that commercial decaBDE mixtures are generally much less toxic than the products containing lower brominated PBDEs. Because of its very different toxicity, decaBDE is expected to have relatively little effect on the health of humans."[5] Based on animal studies, the possible health effects of decaBDE in humans involve the liver, thyroid, reproductive/developmental effects, and neurological effects.[25]

Microsoft's purposely changed Chromium Edge's User-Agent string to say "Edg" [sic] instead of "Edge". They wanted to give sites a way to identify Chromium Edge without accidentally treating it was the old Trident Edge (whose User-Agent string says "Edge"). No one would have written User-Agent string sniffing code that searches for "Edg" instead of "Edge" before Chromium Edge was released.

Thus, Google sites are explicitly targeting Chromium Edge because the only way to differentiate Chrome from Chromium Edge is for the server is to search the User-Agent string for "Edg". If they just searched for "Chromium", then Chromium Edge would be successfully match.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've read that Amazon keeps low inventories for efficiency reasons, leaving the company vulnerable to supply shortages. Already the quarantine in China has disrupted some Amazon supply chains. It seems unlikely that Amazon can keep up with the current level of deliveries, let alone handle a surge in demand for staples needed in a widespread quarantine.
The economic term is "deadweight loss" and the most ideal scenario (outside of not having it) is to have both the supply and demand side share the deadweight loss equally. However, if either curve is out of sync with the other, then the portion of the deadweight loss paid shifts. So if a landlord can pass on 100% of the property tax, then demand is dramatically and catastrophically way outpacing supply. This is a bad situation to have if you want an efficient market where buyers have lots of choices and options.

Edit: I see where you might be confused - I'm talking about passing on 100% of the property tax. In an ideal scenario, landlords would have to cut into their profits to pay for the property tax that tenants wouldn't. But in California, we obviously don't want a market where buyers have lots of options, so apparently everyone is ok with landlords passing along 100% of the property tax cost to the tenants.
It might happen, but I don’t think it would kill the value. There are tons of free and pretty great UI kits, CSS themes, etc already. Adam Wathan has done a really good job building up a community around Tailwind, and that brand and goodwill is part of the value here, I think.

Hey guys,

I launched Focus (https://usefocus.co/).

Focus is an OKR Pulse platform that improves companies' execution through objectives, daily standups, and weekly updates.

We are trying to solve problems in team communication across different timezones. Focus keeps teams on the most important outcomes instead of the heap of messages, emails, and endless meetings - focus on what matters the most.

Right now, it works like that:

1. The team sets Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) on the platform
2. Afterward, the team runs daily standups and weekly updates for tracking the most important things
3. When the goal was achieved, it has public praise feature to increase employees recognition and engagement

P.S. I would greatly appreciate any feedback, happy to answer any questions.
> This still requires the platform to detect _genuine_ transgressions which is very difficult.

I had in mind situations where a seller contacts a buyer who has left a negative review, and offers free merchandise for changing the review. If it happens within Amazon's system, they should be able to verify it.

Obviously an attack you have to defend against is unscrupulous seller E posting fake review requests on Facebook (or wherever) "on behalf of" honest seller A, causing Amazon to ban / punish A in the rankings.
