Sure, but in this particular example, they're on the free Trello tier, and I'd say it's already more full-featured than GitHub projects.

Btw, another cool alternative that I've been playing with lately is ClickUp, which also has a generous free tier.

And on a general note, given that these days all of these systems have good APIs and export capabilities, I'd say there isn't that much business case to consolidate to fewer systems.
I think that you can get good energy density with Hydrogen which will allow long train journey, but this will degrade further the overall efficiency as high compression of the gas is needed, and this energy is likely lost during usage.
To put things in perspective, the annual mortality rate in the US is 1 in 115 people.

2% mortality for COVID-19 would be 1 in 50 people. So if, hypothetically, everyone in the country got infected over the course of one year, and 2% of them died, the deaths from COVID-19 alone would happen more than twice as fast as we're used to seeing people go.

There are some assumptions and simplifications there, but it helps me get a feel for what a "2% mortality rate" might seem like, given everything else being normal.

Thinking about it this way has really made me appreciate life and the people I've been blessed to know during my time here.
You occasionally see Richard Guy walking around our mathematics department with hiking poles. The man hiked a mountain in his 90s, but he's 103 now and it seems those days are past. It reminds me to watch where I'm going, lest I end a living legend.
No reason to look at Slack like that. It may be well worth the price.

When company really starts using Slack it replaces the whole communication system of company, think at the level of replacing the complete Exchange/Outlook system, the whole intra-company email.

It's pretty big deal. And that's why they can charge that level of subscription.

It might decarbonise the railway but not the supply chain. Currently the only practical large scale source of hydrogen is methane, mostly by steam reforming:

Steam-methane reforming reaction

CH4 + H2O (+ heat) → CO + 3H2

Water-gas shift reaction

CO + H2O → CO2 + H2 (+ small amount of heat)

See https://www.energy.gov/eere/fuelcells/hydrogen-production-na... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production.

There are possible methods to produce hydrogen without releasing CO2 but they are not in widespread use, for instance, https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/12/171208171749.h....

So this looks like it is a way to keep the petro/gas industry in business instead of electrifying the network. One of the justifications in the article was avoiding the expense of electrifying rail routes that had few passengers; perhaps a more rational response would be to close the line and use buses instead (which could also be hydrogen if necessary but which can already be battery electric).
How about 2,200 deaths in Wuhan of 10m people, only because it’s sealed off just in time so it’s not replicated in other cities across China?
To give them benefit of the doubt, they may have already paid for it, and as it's a one time fee not included it in their monthly costs.
I am the CIO of a mostly remote, cybersecurity startup (50 FTEs). I balance between not single-threading all choices through me and not letting things get too out of hand. That means no one is every really happy.

E.g., we use Uberconference for videoconferencing. We thoroughly looked at a bunch of others and chose UC for its functionality, price, and simplicity (every conference gets a simple phone number, no stupid 9-digit code plus pin plus participant id). Six months after signing a 3-year agreement (my bad. rookie mistake) I had to resist my CEO’s insistence that we switch to a different provider when we were courting them as a client. A few month later, sales went out and bought 10 mf’ing Zoom licenses without consulting anyone because some client hadn’t heard of UC and asked if it was the budget solution.

Thank god our new CFO confiscated all the corporate credit cards and moved us to reimbursement with Concur. Of course, he later unilaterally selected NetSuite (for something like $40k a year!) and insisted on coordinating the roll out himself. It has been a months long dumpster fire, but he still won’t give my team admin privileges lest we try to see other’s salaries.

We use a lot of AWS. One of our red-teamers mostly used but occasionally built some of our infrastructure. He left the company last month. Yesterday, salesman from Digital Ocean reached to ask if we are still interested in going forward with the departed colleague’s plan to move all our infrastructure to DO.

So for all you folks stuck in big companies, when you wonder why your IT department is so behind the times and won’t let you use Postgres instead of MariaDB or Gitlab instead of Bitbucket, remember my experience. It’s because no matter how smart you folks are as individuals, in the aggregate you are like toddlers. You dump all your toys on the floor and then chase after some other kid’s shinier toy. Your poor CIO is left cleaning up your mess in the middle of the night after stepping on a Lego brick.

(All that said, my job isn’t bad and my company is way less dysfunctional than most start ups. I get that start ups are chaotic, and the basic nature of my job is to wrangle it.)
If you make a working-class wage in the USA and you don't have health insurance, it's pretty unlikely you'll check in to a hospital for any reason that doesn't scare the hell out of you.

In addition to being expensive, medical costs in the USA vary wildly between different hospitals, cannot be predicted based on symptoms alone, and are essentially not discoverable during an emergency. Even if you have insurance, some parts of the medical attention you receive will be covered but others may not. For example, you may have a procedure that is covered by your insurance company, but the diagnostics needed to address an urgent complication of that procedure may not be covered.

More specifically to the present viral outbreak...imagine paying $3k for a test just to find out that the result is negative. That happened to this guy in Florida: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/health-care/article24047680...
I believe you're correct about Open64, but it was an interesting examples of a compiler when I was researching them last, particularly its usage of WHIRL [1]. It's a similar approach as used by GCC and LLVM with their front, middle and back-end approach, although I can't quite remember if it pioneered that approach or not.

It could be because he is misrepresenting the content of the article.

Quoting:
"funding for the CDC’s global disease outbreak prevention efforts had been reduced by 80%, including funding for the agency’s efforts in China. But that was the result of the anticipated depletion of previously allotted funding, not a direct cut by the Trump administration.

Since January 2019, actual funding (vs. requested/proposed funding) is controlled by the House leadership of the opposition party.

This is only marginally related to the article in general, but python's implementation of concurrency and multi threading is fantastic in my experience. It took me literally a full 3 hours to get the basic hang of it, and I went from that to writing embarrassingly parallel code to do very large data operations in a matter of weeks.

Not to sound ignorant, but I had zero idea about semaphores and locking even a month into using their implementation and my code worked perfectly. Big fan of that library since my work involves both querying REST APIs for data and doing computationally intensive operations on it. My cloud system is very low grade but with GIL, what now takes 12 minutes to complete on a good day would've taken literal hours to finish if I'd written it serially.
At this point, I suspect that the East Coast, like New York or Boston, is going to get hit next. And the infected vectors are going to come in from Europe.

Once Manhattan reports its first confirmed case, then it’s over. This thing will go full blown.
> There's still no universal, government-provided API that would allow you to check whether an ID is real,

Colleagues of mine have created just such a system: IRMA. Short for I Reveal My Attributes.

The way it works:
The government (or anyone else) can approve an attribute of yours, e.g. "over 18". You can then choose to share this verified attribute with whomever requests it.

The requestor can then see who verified that you have the requested attribute.

I recognize this comment may sound derogatory. I merely attempted a poetic reference to the well-documented secularization of North Europe.
I don't think it adds up to that much, compared to the cost of developers. Where I live in Eastern Europe, a single mid-level developer would cost at least $5k/mo once you take into account taxes, office space and benefits. In SV I guess you are talking well over $20k/mo. $20k/mo is a lot of software.

> would probably be appalled to see the waste that goes on as a result of it not existing.

There's no probably about it. I breath a sigh of relief every time I get back home to Norway after visiting family in the UK (which I left 34 years ago). So much is just simpler here.
that's legit -- the percentage is not insignificant -- but it does look like you're calculating 2% of all Americans (approx 327M). the 2% number is _case_ fatality rate, i.e., how many cases are fatal. so to get from there to actual deaths, you have to apply it to _cases_. so you need to combine that with the attack rate, or attack ratio.

the only number I've heard for the attack rate is 30%, from the virologist Ian Mackay, who caveated it as a guess:

https://twitter.com/MackayIM/status/1233511899083530240

it could probably never be anything but a guess, until after the fact.

anyway, it would not be 2% of the US population. it would be 2% of 30% of the US population, which is approximately two million people. with the caveat that all of these numbers are early estimates based on limited data.

2M people is still a lot of deaths.

but it's not just how many people are killed. the rate of hospitalization is 15-25%. approx 10% of patients in Italy right now are in intensive care. the disease expresses as severe pneumonia, so severe that survivors have experienced _organ failure_. you could be hooked to a ventilator for a month.

in the United States, if you survive a medical problem that serious, it still ruins your life. probably this country will see not just a significant number of deaths, but also a spike in medical bankruptcies -- which are already a huge problem here.
Argparse is fantastic. I recently had to shift some code from taking input from a csv to taking input from command line and I was dreading how much coding it'd involve. It took me 5 minutes of googling to come across argparse and another minute to find my exact use case written out in 5 lines of code.

The kicker is that once you define it and let it capture inputs, it outputs absolutely standard professional level error messages for bad parameters. I did not have to write any exception handling code at all. I could not believe that what I thought would take me several days was done in less than an hour.
Ok. But I would suggest that posting an article about unfair treatment of small businesses is a form of advocacy. Perhaps it is an attempt to spur folks into action not to solicit pity.

May I suggest that a more effective response than “I shed no tears for them,” would be “And this is precisely why we need more collective action and regulation. I encourage you to contact your representative about the bill HR 123...”
Seems like there should be some basic review processes in place. Any external dependency/purchase should require sign-off of at least one of only a few decision makers.

This should be very similar to a code review, but seen by CTO, CIO, and CEO (whichever combination is most relevant) so that big unexpected, costly structural changes don't cost long term disfunction and pain.
True but you don’t pay subscription for your chairs. You do pay rent, but in many case the sum of SaaS subscription is in the same order of magnitude as the rent.

I expect government to work as mandated. I don't need "leaders". I need them all to do their jobs as best they can. Nothing more, nothing less.

Product UX can also become its USP
Got lot of competitors? Improve your UX!

Most of the visitor doesn’t even bother to try out the product because of it’s bad lengthy UX.

Bad UX can be a lengthy signup form or steps required to use one of your product feature.

People mostly focus on adding as many features as possible in their product to compete with their competitor.

Look at your competitor, see how many steps they require you to use the app. I usually calculate the number of clicks required to do a certain task).

See how you can minimize these steps and remove the unnecessary friction from your onboarding.

I hope this will help.
Let me know in the comment what do you think!
Compared to a salary, it is nothing. If your company functions and people are more productive because of it, ~$80 a year is nothing.
But how do we know it is 20%? If R0 is higher than we think due to asymptomatic spreading, then we likely aren’t counting all the asymptomatic cases. If we did, it would result in a lower serious complication rate. That’s why I said it can’t be both.

It's not like it's hard to get K and K to cancel each other out using addition. Why are you generalizing from "the inverse of XORing K is XORing K again" to "the inverse of adding K is adding K again"? It isn't, but everyone knows what the inverse of adding K is.

C1 = P1 + K
C2 = P2 + K
C1 - C2 = P1 - P2

And if you can guess part of either plaintext, you'll see the same part of the other plaintext, and know what the key was, exactly the same as for XORing. As somebody else already pointed out, that's because XORing is a variety of addition anyway.
The only situation in which that will happen is a function going from returning a value to returning a value and an error and you were actually getting & using the value.

If a function starts returning more variable errors Go likely won’t tell you (though in fairness that’s a pretty common issue).

If a function was not returning anything or you did not care for the value it returned, it adding an error will be a completely invisible event.

I have to confess that im not following the entire situation but your statement brings me some hope so I'm asking- can one get affected and still not get sick at all?

I'm also hearing that people can get and ARE getting reinfected.
I see the pricing is per day. Have you thought of hourly pricing ?
Caveat: some of the "untraceable" cases are kind of "semi-traceable" in practice. The American government (against the advice of its own CDC) flew back American patients who had been on the Japanese cruise ship, infected and uninfected alike, and sent in HHS employees to interact with them, with inadequate training and hazard protections (i.e., no bunny suits).

This heightened infection risk for the uninfected cruise ship patients and the HHS employees, as well as anybody who knew them.

This plane landed at Travis Air Force Base in Solano County, California. Which is where the first "untraceable" case in the United States occurred.
There are a lot of sectors looking at hydrogen from excess renewables, some of them will require huge quantities (e.g. low-carbon steel production). And to start, the very first thing to do with hydrogen produced from excess renewables is to replace the industry-used hydrogen that currently comes from natural gas.

I think hydrogen will play some role in the future, but it should really only be used where no other, more efficient technology is available. For trains a well established technology is available: Electric trains with overhead lines. Use that.

A lot of these services get quite expensive very quickly once you go over the free threshold. The free plans are just a loss leader to encourage vendor lock-in.

For example, I used to use the MixPanel free plan in a project and went over the limit and suddenly the plan cost around a thousand dollars per year.
If I understand you right, your entire argument depends on counting "Go exposes X internal feature" and "Go exposes something equivalent to X internal feature" as different things.

Because demanding Go do either one is an engineering argument.

But demanding the former over the latter is an 'aesthetic or moral' argument.

Well, nobody else is making that distinction! They're only making the engineering argument! You're interpreting their words way too literally if you think they're making the aesthetic argument.

As far as I know, all three of those languages are interpreted. They might be good at slinging together predefined operations with fast implementations written in another language (C)… as long as you’re operating in parallel on large arrays, so that you spend more time inside the C functions than actually interpreting. But if you need to write your own operations or just do anything that’s isn’t massively parallel, none of those languages even compete. For example, you couldn’t write a performant compiler in them. In contrast, languages like Haskell and OCaml have compilers that generate native code – maybe not C-level native code, but still an order of magnitude faster than an interpreter.

Edit: For that matter, from quickly browsing the source code, it looks like Miranda is interpreted as well. So it’s absurd to say it’s faster than Haskell.

While general purpose satellite internet is nice, I'm wondering (in brainstorm mode) about whether there are alternative situations for which an architecture based on such fast moving satellites would be desirable rather than a challenge.

Below are some unfiltered thoughts on this -

1. Treat satellites like postboxes. If ground to satellite link is fast, use it to upload TB of data to these satellites and let them transport it across oceans and dump them at destinations (article notes it takes 6mins to cross the Atlantic).

2. Serve applications off satellites - sort of like CDN edge servers. Thinking Cloudflare Workers. No idea what their capacities are though.

3. Distribute updates to devices or end points. Tesla updates?

4. Make the satellites pick up and drop data between specific ground stations.

Any intelligent ways to abuse this system?

US leadership may have inertia but are significantly impacted by the administration leading it.

The current one is actively calling the whole thing a hoax and blaming it on its political enemies, as per most recent news reports.
"It's easy to pull out a single phrase, like "never celebrated," and nitpick it."

Sure. And it's easy to exaggerate. Why not say "underappreciated"?

"People were stockpiling guns and give years of flour in their basements"

Sure. And yet no one I knew did that. If one points to extremes and ignore the average case, isn't that an exaggeration?

"Instead, we complain about overpopulation"

Perhaps because Norman Borlaug was right in saying "But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only."

"it's partly because we choose to focus on the negative"

Perhaps you are the one to see a desert flower bloom in the midst of great environmental damage. Does that mean the damage is not there and there's nothing to do?
No, it's the SIMD loop thing.

The claim that k runs quickly because its functions fit in the CPU cache is, as far as I can tell, an off-hand comment that Arthur Whitney made once which has been repeated far more than it deserves. It's false—instruction cache behavior doesn't contribute significantly to k's advantage over other languages—for a few reasons: inner loops in array languages are 3–5 orders of magnitude smaller than the CPU cache, the loops that compiled languages produce also fit in cache, and instruction caching doesn't matter all that much for performance anyway. Despite spending plenty of time looking for it, I've never been able to measure an impact of code size on performance. Even data caching doesn't have that much of an effect: current versions of Dyalog APL almost always allocate new arrays from uncached memory (this is mostly fixed in the next version), and it's still one of the fastest array languages around. Unless you're using SIMD, code with linear access patterns can't even keep up with main memory, and the cache has no effect.

Why is using SIMD cheating? SIMD loops are the only way to get the full performance out of a CPU, and fast compilers do try to produce them. If it turns out that array-based interpreters are a better way to convert programmer intentions to SIMD loops than scalar compilers (and it certainly seems that way) then the array languages are legitimately faster. I suppose SIMD is considered "non-portable" because you can't use it from C, but that's an artificial restriction coming from historical programming language design decisions. The most important vector instructions are the same in any modern vector ISA. How is using standard CPU features cheating? They're not even that much newer than double-precision float support.

(I'm an implementor for Dyalog APL.)
