The thing is in common esport titles this will only ever really happen at relatively high levels (top ~0.1%) of play. Or at least, that's where it would actually matter. Below that, games are usually just decided by who is better at fundamentals. It doesn't matter how great your smoke setup is in CS:GO if I can just wait or flash my way through and insta headshot everyone because I'm just better at movement/aim. And the same is even more true when you compare pre-set strategies with rigid holding positions to people who instinctively know when they have to get counter-frags when a teammate dies and how push in a way that doesn't allow these set strategies. (The same is true to almost the same degree in LoL/DotA/SCII).

Right. While I understand why they use the term this way, it still feels semantically abusive given the math concept.
There is exactly one technology that can affordably bind CO2 at scale and that is plants. We are just very, very far from measures to keep that carbon from reescaping back. And rightfully so, because burning carbon freshly captured by plants is infinitely less bad than burning carbon that has been nicely stashed away for geological timespans (the carbon captured by contemporary plants would recycle back into the air anyways, energy use is merely a minor latency reduction). Sequestration at burn site might be an improvement on that, but that still doesn't answer the question of where to put it. Geologically buried hydrocarbons are really hard to beat at keeping carbon out of the atmosphere, that is unless there happens an industrialization event...
I see how working on a SaaS can be exhausting, I have experienced it myself multiple times. Even if the SaaS had no users yet, there was a pressure from the founders to get a lot features quickly etc.
Although on the other hand, it depends a lot on the company itself and its founders. I know a SaaS where founders are hard-core & experienced engineers themselves, and they understand and work with their team much better, because they know what they can expect.

From my (limited) perspective and experience, "deeper" you go (closer to the research, or put in simpler words, less people understand what you do :D), less direct outside pressure is put on you.
Which is kinda logical, often when non-dev people can visualise the end result (and believe they understand it) they get impatient and cannot understand "why does it take so long to get it done".

So I would say these might be the important factors:
1) Founders coming from the engineering/scientific background
2) More hard-tech work domain (e.g. crypto, AI/ML (although a lot of fakeness here), system performance, compilers, ...)
3) Bigger company/institution that can afford to work on such problems

They didn't have the key.

The team turned to Parliament's locksmith for help and, with some difficulty, he was able to open the wood panel door, to reveal a tiny, stone-floored chamber, with a bricked-up doorway on the far wall.

Looks like the locksmith picked it maybe?
That looks nice. Can it be used in a program? I mean, not from cli, but inside code?
The locksmith got the door open. It doesn't say he had the key.
7 times is quite a lot more. That's like saying a Porsche is a bit more than a Toyota.
They didn’t, they made a new key. An old lock for a service door is likely to be trivial to crack these days.

Edit: from the Guardian: “Liz Hallam Smith, the team’s historical consultant from the University of York, said: “[...] Once a key was made for it, the panelling opened up like a door into this secret entrance.”

At Mobile Jazz and Bugfender (two remote companies that I started) we have:

* Weekly meetings (every Wednesday for 1h) where everyone can just share what they're doing in life. Can also be about work, but it's mostly about general life stuff. That is where we connect.

* 1-2 per month we have an educational talk similar like TED talks where we talk about topics like GTD, personal finance, investing, health, hobbies, training, etc.

* 1 time per year we have a mandatory "University" event where we spend a week in a remote location teaching each other mostly technical skills (but can also be management and design skills). All paid.

* 1 time per year we rent a huge house over an extended weekend and fly everyone in. Including partners and children. All paid.

* Multiple times per year we offer skiing, surfing, and hiking trips. We pay for the accommodation. Team members have to pay for their own food and travel expenses.

>People in the West are going to be tough to keep on lockdown

Historically they haven't been proven particularly tough to lock down, stir up by authoritarians (Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, etc), be surveilled, sold lies, and so on...

As for those "obedient" Chinese, they got this authoritarian party they have today by doing a whole revolution thing first...

Yes, but malaria isn't transmitted between humans but requires a certain mosquito to spread. So unless that mosquito reappears (which is an actual threat due to climate change), the malaria isn't randomly spreading to other countries. But the corona virus doesn't have these bariers as it spreads from humans to humans.
Like I said, Revolut is not suitable as your only bank. But it can be awfully convenient as a second card.

WRT "certainly less than 2%" - you might be surprised, do double-check. Not all banks do, but many do here. It's most obvious here at Raiffeisen, where you can have EUR or USD cards (_with_ ATM fees) - or RON cards with no ATM fees (but if you think about checking the currency conversion rate, you're in for a nasty surprise). And again, bad currency conversion is far worse than 2% ATM fee, because it applies on all your purchases, whereas nowadays in many countries you don't actually need to withdraw money... not in excess of 200E/month, anyway.
> In China when the government tells its citizens to do something, they just do it. They don't ask why. They don't deliberate on whether it's the correct choice. They simply follow the directions. In the West, everything is up for debate. People don't like to be told what to do.

Sigh, this is so cliché… I don't know where you're from, but the “west” as the unified entity you describe doesn't exist. When it comes to authority and how people comply with the rules, France and Germany are more different than China and the US.

I wonder if the “graffiti artist”
Tom Porter and the recorded stonemason Thomas Parker, are actually the same person. A cockney accent interacting with an RP ear would make Porter and Parker quite similar. Name misspellings of labourers were likely very common before mass-education was introduced in late XIX century.
This is the secret. The average citizen would actually come out ahead financially, making it a progressive tax, as opposed to the de-facto regressive taxes that have received popular opposition in other attempts.

Operators are a tradeoff between compactness and ambiguity. They add ambiguity because they are polymorphic, and the order of operations becomes implicit, governed by the operator's priority (for infix or mixed pre/postfix).

Many programming languages abuse the + operator for string concatenation, which is not commutative. This is where my tolerance for operators ends.
I don't think they mean there were no such warnings, but that those warnings were ignored here.

(FWIW, based on the threads I saw and participated in I don't think that's really accurate; there seemed to be a range of opinions, with plenty of people playing it down but also plenty taking it seriously.)
The range exclusive operator is the most friendly, I think.

Do you have a link to the paper?

Edit: I found this literature review [1] that sounds similar to what you're referring to. Note that this is only a summary of previously published results on similar viruses. If you check the source data in Table I the persistence times are from hours to days, and the author's conclusion is "up to 9 days" (emphasis mine). In my opinion this is very weak evidence to say that it can survive 10 days "on most surfaces".

More or less same arguments as for choosing React Native for any other project: share some or all code on web/android/ios platforms.

The other option could be compiling libgit2 to native code/wasm and use it in RN and web, but it will be harder then just import js-only npm.
Three most important things for 1.5C are:

1. Stop burning coal
2. Get shipping off oil and onto renewables
3. DAC efforts need to be stepped up, both biological and technological

All of those are achieved by turning to Gen 4 nuclear reactors. MSRs are now entering trial phases [1] where nuclear energy generation is not as strictly regulated as in the States. Miniaturization efforts have found solutions where such a power plant [2] could be cost effective for shipping.

DAC efforts are a bit strange. I've looked a bit into tree planting and haven't found anything that looks like it scales with investment. I can't purchase a product knowing it will result in extra efforts, or put another way, if a billionaire would pour in a billion dollars, it wouldn't scale up the operation proportionately to the increased funds. Technological DAC is a solved problem that would scale but needs a power source.

4th gen reactors are the only thing that tackles these points on all fronts.

It's one of the things I really like about scala, x call y is always equivalent to x.call(y)

This combined with relaxed method name restrictions allow you to do "operator overloading" in quite a sane way and allow you to write bigint + 1 or set contains element.

Kotlin is a bit more conservative and only translated the built-in operators to fixed methods: + to the plus method etc.

The problem with the argument is that they distinguish between 'informal because it's the only choice' and 'illegal law evading scumbags slumlords'. So if you follow that line of thinking, if you enjoy only slight success with your informal business, you become the scumbag and should be bulldozered. That's tantamount to reducing township inhabitants to beggars. Given the history of these areas, it's extremely unfortunate.
I guess these things get lost overtime if there is no system of documenting what happened and is happening with any building over a long period of time?

A nice startup idea would be to create a system/website/app that documents what happens to any building over time including all maintenance and future plans!

How many of these critical beds do you think average african or other south asian countries have?

I checked with my wife who is doctor at biggest Swiss hospital - currently they could host around 30 people who need respiratory assistance. Surrounding area contains 1.5-2 millions of people.

I used to be critical of China in this, and still hate how they handled the start. But to be honest, unless tremendous luck would be involved, I don't think most western countries wouldn't be able to contain the epidemics neither, it would just be a bit slower. Its too sneaky and effective.
Depends what users, if you're targeting some education format or institution that wants some locking down of their OS git native is kind of a non starter. No one can configure it for you, there's 65 million install options and you're loading a bash shell into windows.

I don't know if it's really worth engaging with this nonsense.

It looks just like other coronaviruses, there is nothing about it that looks man-made.

If it was man-made, don't you think the Chinese government would have locked things down more aggressively as soon as they realised it was out? After all, in this scenario they would know exactly how dangerous it is.

>Where every big government is actively working on creating viruses for both defense and offense.

How many of those have been respiratory viruses with long incubation times, low fatality rates in military age people, and no vaccines or other treatments?

This is basically the worst candidate for a bio-weapon ever!

The ideal bio-weapon:
-Is something you can protect your own troops and people against
-Can be treated but only with high expenditure of resources
-Incapacitates the people it infects as soon as possible
-Has no or moderate spread person-person

Otherwise you are just releasing a pathogen that will come back and infect you as well. This is why Anthrax was such a popular bio weapon, person-person infection is extremely rare and it forms spores so can be spread over an area where it will linger but has little chance of causing an out-of-control epidemic. Smallpox was weaponised by the Soviet Union and that is very contagious but can be vaccinated against.

There are many problems of hiring randomly and hastily:

1. Employees are usually the biggest expense and engineers are some of the priciest, so there goes the run rate (unless Alphabet foots the bill).

2. Hiring too quickly ruins the dynamic of existing teams and throws them into chaos.

3. Hiring too quickly tends to not apply good due-diligence because the few staff who are demonstrably good at hiring will be spread too thin to have an impact. This leads to hiring second- and third-stringers who will slow everyone down more than better hires, add to office political BS with their non-value-add/sabotaging drama, zap morale, and drive away A-players to their next adventure.

4. It may or may not be the case, but without a per-department plan to scale their organizations' resources (systems, budgets and staff) according to anticipated added demand to support massive numbers of new hires, that scaling too much in one area tends to overwhelm other departments. I hope they practice safe and sane scaling before it's too late.

The only way to test if you've 'understood' something is to apply it to real-world problems.

If it works - then you understood it.
If it doesn't - then you didn't.

"Understanding" without way of external verification seems no different to dopamine-chasing.

Measuring on output and all that...
“Just hop on the Slack channel when you need me to approve a missile launch, no problem.”
That would be true if they actually measured the applications installed with the system/distribution, or at least built the way they should get built with a given system/distribution - which they don't.

Switch the limited liability companies from their current blacklist based regulation to whitelisting allowed behaviour. Focus this entirely on creating highly competitive markets & fostering innovation in technology, logistics and production. Markets should be full of small companies making a specific product or service as efficiently as possible. Comparison of different products should be simple, pricing should be transparent. Basically the market for products and services should resemble as closely as possible the stock market.

It's really telling that the only market the wealthy class needs to care about has incredibly tight regulation on how you describe the 'product' (Accounting standards, auditing, what the CEO tweets...).

Meanwhile the markets every day consumers & workers lives are ruled by are wall to wall lies and deception.

Our current low-regulation markets are basically designed to innovate in manipulating voters, consumers and workers. Where our most profitable industries main focus is buying off their regulators, competitors and focusing on creating moats and monopolies.

In my view a good first step would be to bring in tight regulation on political spending & lobbying. Followed by regulating advertising with a view to nationalized product discovery. Basically if even Amazon can't stop fake reviews we should make it a publicly funded good. Let every company freely list their products and (as with listed companies accounting regulation) any product produced by a big company should have stats which are directly comparable to their competitors products & legally binding. We could also require companies to list the CAD files for replacement parts they no longer make.
The opposite is also true: if your family is enthusiastic about you running, chances are that you don’t have a chance in hell.

Employers See Rising Number of Remote Workers During Corona Scare
I much prefer languages which simply do not make a distinction between functions and operators.

This distinction seems useful only in the context of lower-level languages like C where the operators translate directly to single machine code instructions and thus they provide clues about performance.

But in a higher-level language this distinction is superficial. It's just another function, just with a much shorter name and perhaps using infix instead of prefix notation. E.g. in Lisps there is no such distinction. "+" is a valid function name. In Haskell - same, but you also have a built-in syntax for specifying that you want your function to be called using infix notation by default.
Hey thanks for the nice comments. I'm the blog's author.

So yeah you're absolutely right there. Rendering performance is equally important. We use a different tool for this - SiteSpeed (that we also offer as an option for users to use in CI - https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/brows...). We run SiteSpeed pretty much constantly against gitlab.com but this is more for monitoring I believe. We (Quality) are wanting to explore running it in a more general sense against our test environments to start rendering performance testing. Hopefully we'll have more to share on this in the future.

With GPT though we actually updated it recently to increase Web endpoint coverage and this has lead to some pages getting some big performance fixes (the Merge Request Changes page should be rendering a lot faster today than a few months back for example). With the tool we now hit more of these endpoints at scale that deliver the page source, etc... but we can't render with it as it's not a browser (way to heavy to run at scale) hence us looking at starting rendering performance tests as well.

In the meantime I'd love to hear what pages specifically give your old laptop grief?
