If there are multiple ways of achieving the same result (e.g. assignment) and you want to be consistent, you have to choose a subset. If there are features that time has shown to be less-than-ideal (e.g. malloc/free) you choose a subset while the language avoids removing breaking backwards-compatibility.

So when you go to another project that made different decisions, what you should do is understand the decisions. It's quite easy. And that's why it's what people do do, and it's why people are capable of contributing to projects other than their first.

If you program in C++, it's the same skill you used to learn one or more of {CMake, Makefiles, scons, bash, python} except it's easier because you already understand the programming language's model.
The survival rate is also probably thrown off though because some countries have better trained health professionals. No one in the US (that made it to US care) has died as of yet. In other countries without advanced facilities available, the rates are much higher. If the disease hits Africa and more of the ME, the rate will go up. While in the US, and richer countries like Germany, etc the rate will probably be low.
I disagree. You don't need to fix unrelated problems somewhere else to start making people's lives better today. It can be read cynically as a stalling tactic for no progress to be made.

The phenomenon I describe happens on a good day in the US, with no epidemics. Sick people go to work because their bosses don't tolerate otherwise. Sick kids go to school because their parents can't miss work to take care of them. A lot of people (not me, I am much more fortunate) cannot take any such breaks to take care of ordinary life situations because a lesser paycheck or lost job for completely legal bullshit reasons drowns them, gets them behind on tight living expenses.

These issues exist independent of coronavirus, when things are going "well".

I haven't even gotten into how these conditions feed back into stress, mental illness, other health conditions like obesity that are not aided by stress, all self re-enforcing.

If all parties wanted to fix this, we could, even without lifting those people out of poverty.

Am unsure how much food can spread covid. But, one way to prepare is to take stock of your eating, and minimize prepared food.

Hmm, I’m not really familiar with US’s medical system... so some questions:

* Does that mean someone who gets minimum wage (which probably doesn’t have an additional health insurance except for a default one) needs to pay for $1400 to test? (If true, that’s insane - why does the government only take cares of $1700 and not something like $3000?)

* Does people who come from Wuhan/other places where COVID-19 is spreading (lets say an american that comes from Daegu - the district with the most patients in Korea) also have to pay the high price to be tested?

This sucks, no doubt, and you have my sincere sympathies. This is a problem that many, many people will be facing. It's a lot like any other natural disaster--there's really not much to be done but carry on as best we can.

CDC messaging is tough. It needs to be enough to get people to do what can be done (which is not a lot), but not enough to spark irrational silliness (some of which we're seeing right here).

Absolutely. Some 3,500 american citizens died during last PR hurricane devastation and that was barely covered in media. WH said its fake numbers and its not even 100 people that died. Trump is a genius at spinning things, so I would imagine if someone dies from Corona, it will be "fake news".
Bayes’ Rule, Decision Making, and Containing Covid-19 with Unreliable Tests
That's the point. Trump is acting like he's running a hotel where the cleaning crew, janitors, concierge, etc are all easy to fill positions and easy to onboard, whereas getting qualified people for the CDC/military and onboarding them is not at all a simple task.
I have the polar opposite view, China is not transparent with their numbers, and their response is hamfisted because they aren't competent and a lot of it is theater (typical of communist regimes.) It is possible that in many years more people will die from cancer from their irresponsible spraying than the actual virus. Western countries are also traditionally cleaner, and things like "gutter grease" aren't common. I have much more faith in the west than hamfisted policies from China.

> I have an RPi4 as a home server now. It's not a supercomputer...

Out of curiosity, I looked up the performance numbers for the RPi4 and the Cray-1 supercomputer, the world's fastest computer in 1977. The RPi4 gets 748 megaflops on the LINPACK benchmark, compared to 14 megaflops on the Cray. The Cray used high-speed ECL logic allowing it to run at a blistering 80 Mhz clock rate compared to 1.5 GHz on the RPi4. The Cray-1 sold for $7.9 million, compared to $35. It had 8 megabytes of RAM and weighed 5.5 tons compared to 2 GB of RAM and 46 grams. Power consumption was 115 kW vs under 15 watts. The numbers drive home just how much computer technology has improved.
Personally I would probably go if I felt I was relatively low risk as you seem to be. But, then, I'm planning on taking off for a couple of weeks of conferences within the US on Monday. But it ultimately has to be an individual decision.
SARS-CoV-2 far more likely than Sars to bond to cells due to HIV-like mutation
There is a discontinuity there. A two party system is many orders of magnitude more reliable than a single party system, even if not ideal.

The US also has a much smaller history of hiding facts and persecuting the Press.
Indonesia on the other hand seems to have decided not to tell the world or their people how many cases there have been - when clearly they must have some by now.
How do we know that testing for Coronavirus creates a backlog? I don't have enough information to say how the system works, but I imagine a nurse takes an additional blood test, and then someone sends that test to the CDC. The CDC tests the blood, and sends a response to the hospital.

I am curious to know more about the actual process.
Ok, the more I read answers to my comment, the less I think it's a good idea.

This is another reminder that floating point numbers are just a hack that should never be used by default. We have enough CPU, memory and bandwidth that we are able to transmit/store exact representation of numeric user input, and convert it to float only when necessary, as designed by programmer.
Both government and individual responsibility are critical and necessary to controlling the outbreak.

The government can not wash your hands for you, or preemptively tell if you becoming sick.

I don't see how reminding people of their individual responsibility is detrimental to a government response.

But virus particles aren't floating around in the air infecting people, it's spread mostly through respiratory droplets. Not saying that a surgical mask will protect you, but it's not because the virus is too small.

Nothing in the post suggests to me that the coworker asked for help. He may need it, but people should help in the way that they've been asked to help. If the coworker feels too much anxiety about asking for a raise, OP has neither the responsibility nor the right to intervene independently.

And, again, no one ever gets fired for asking for a raise if they're a productive employee as OP suggests. I've been in software for 15 years and have relatives on H1B. Turnover is incredibly painful even for low-skill employees, and asking for a raise is not an "offense" to the employer. It often leads to other accommodations to keep employees happen if a raise is not doable.

The problem is that the American public elected a reality television show host who can barely string a coherent sentence together as president. Since expertise, honesty, and competence represent direct threats to the administration (e.g., decorated military whistleblowers, career foreign service workers, etc.), the administration has steadily removed such people from critical positions in an attempt to stifle internal resistance to its behavior. A side effect of this type of purging is that we now have a reduced capacity to respond to complex geopolitical and natural threats. Hopefully the hard reality of a pandemic shakes some folks out of the propaganda bubble before too much damage is done.
Summary seems to be: there is a drop and expected to be back at same level after the virus outbreak is finished/managed.
The way SSPL is written it doesn't differentiate between those two use cases. It just says basically "if you deploy this on your backend you have to release source for everything else on your backend." So they would still be banned from using it in their eCommerce stack. Those other companies are facing challenges because they don't add enough value on top of any other hosted offerings. Instead of focusing on what additional value they can provide, they focus on trying to destroy value created by Amazon. This is not the way to practice open source.

>You know, what is the easier solution for us? Switch to an open-source license (AWS doesn't care about us anyway), grow with the community's help and once we become big switch to a different license. THAT IS cheating the community and the users.

I don't see how your choice of SSPL is supposed to protect the community from this. You have a CLA in place which still means you're reserving the right to switch license at any time. The community is absolutely not protected from this type of "cheating" at the moment.

>But OSI as a community needs to do something to help projects/companies like us.

It is not anyone else's responsibility to look out for your business model. That's your responsibility. To protect your company, create value that customers actually want to pay for. Participate in community licensing discussions and see what your community actually wants. Reach out to Amazon/Microsoft/Google/etc. and talk to them to see if you can come up with an open source strategy that would mutually benefit everyone. The OSI just reviews licenses submitted to them, they can't guess what it is that you need, and they definitely can't resolve some long-standing dispute you might have with other companies.
I 100% agree with the title, but some of the complaints in this article have been addressed since the article was published by C++11, C++14, or C++17. Others are just weird.

> If you've heard anything about C++, you've probably heard that there's no standard string class and everybody rolls their own.

Is this still true? std::string seems perfectly reasonable now, especially now that they've given up on supporting ropes and integrated the small string optimization. Yes it doesn't specify an encoding.

> No garbage collection? Check. No refcounting? Check. Need to allocate/free heap space just to pass a string constant to a function?

Nothing else in the standard library is garbage collected or refcounted by default. Why would std::string be the lone exception? You can opt into refcounting for any type using std::shared_ptr.

The objection about allocating/freeing heap space is about APIs that take const std::string& being passed C-string literals. Legitimate complaint, but it's addressed by std::string_view now.

> ...rant about lack of []= operator...

[] mutating the map does surprise people, so that's definitely a legitimate complaint. And it is annoying to have to use find() in a const context...

but simple operations like counting are simpler and more efficient in C++ than in Python because the +=, -=, etc operators work:

for value in list:
counts[value] = counts.get(value, 0) + 1

vs

for (auto& value : list)
counts[value]++;

> So actually C++ maps are as fast as python maps, assuming your compiler writers are amazingly great, and a) implement the (optional) return-value optimization; b) inline the right stuff; and c) don't screw up their overcomplicated optimizer so that it makes your code randomly not work in other places.

This is just comical. Python is not playing in the same performance league as C++, regardless of whether inlining or RVO happens. RVO of course is a general optimization for returning objects by value from functions, not a special case to optimize setting map items. It's still relevant, but less important since C++11's move semantics.
