I dunno, I think that one's on the scientists. Expecting the general public to maintain a nominal distinction between a disease caused by a specific virus and the virus that causes it isn't reasonable.
If you ignore alerting then it's likely that your alerts are too noisy. See "alert fatigue".
It’s probably due to this partner program. Huge incentive to automate question asking if you are getting paid for it.
One of the problems with entirely ceasing production of a category of incredibly complex military system is that the engineering knowledge to build it retires, goes elsewhere or becomes unavailable.

The UK faced a number of problems with their domestic construction of the Astute class nuclear attack submarines, as they had not built a nuclear sub in more than 15 years. The institutional knowledge of how to build such a thing had become scarce or retired.
Yeh any one from Google here if you like to allow us to fine tune the alerts from GSC - I came in today and found 87 non useful alerts in my inbox.

I wrote a series with some tips and other things I wish I'd known when I started programming, and I thought it might be useful for someone so I'll post them here.

The series has 8 articles right now, navigating to them it's easy from the one linked on the top. I really hope this helps someone, even if it's a little bit.

Thanks.

Not originally it wasn’t. The UNIX versions are an interesting relic.
There are no hard rules. In general a microservices architecture tends to enforce segmentation which makes it faster to iterate on features that only impact a single service. But coordinating larger changes across multiple services owned by separate teams can certainly be slower.

Monolith architectures often degenerate into the proverbial "big ball of mud" over time. But if the team has the discipline to maintain proper design through continuous refactoring then they can retain the ability to deliver features with short cycle times.
You are downvoted for passing off your uneducated (in the field of health) opinion that her illness was coronavirus as fact, and for implying that antibiotics somehow could help with the coronavirus directly (i.e. in fighting the virus not preventing secondary infections) in any way (they can't).
Thinking of buying a home? Use this tool to see if you should keep on looking
Well, I have a clock in the wall in front of me that permanently displays the time. I check the time several times a day, for example to check how much time left I have to do something before lunch or going home, or a having a meeting.

I don't know why are we discussing the practical uses of a clock. I can't imagine a life where one is allowed to look at a clock only when an alarm or alert is triggered.
> any alternative option is crushed with voter suppression

With early voting, free or very cheap ID for poor people, mail in ballots, and literally a year or more to confirm one’s voter registration, voter suppression is a ridiculous excuse. If people cared about voting, they would do it. I honestly don’t want people voting that can’t be bothered to take the responsibility seriously enough that they allow themselves to be “suppressed.” More voters isn’t the answer: more voters that care about fiscal responsibility is the answer. Many voters don’t care one bit about waste because those voters aren’t paying very much in the taxes that are getting wasted. They want “someone else” to pay. Many voters vote for the “stuff” they can get for themselves.
This looks really cool! However, as an Evernote and Notion customer (yes, I use and pay for both), I would love to know what would make me switch tools, or add this to my subscriptions?
Well, let's be clear about the timeline. Silevo was planning a factory in upstate New York, and the State of New York was planning to invest $225 million in that project.

In June 2014, SolarCity agreed to acquire Silevo.

Three months later, with Elon Musk's personal involvement, the Cuomo Administration agreed to increase their investment to $750 million, in a much-expanded deal.

Construction of the factory began under SolarCity ownership in September 2014.

Tesla acquired SolarCity in November 2016. One month later, Tesla announced that Panasonic would assemble the solar modules at Gigafactory 2/New York.
Hydro may require drowning valleys, but micro-hydro with a weir utilizes existing waterways with minimal impact. As to energy density, there's no fixing that, but for most people, density is far less a concern than 'enough' -- solar isn't a viable solution for my current household because it would require clearing enough trees that it feels counterproductive. So, I can go with solar, but I couldn't be self-sustaining on solar.

For most people, that's not a real concern. If you can capture enough solar power during the day to offset your energy bill to zero or near zero, that's good enough, but my concerns are a little more esoteric. That said, for either method, density hasn't really played a factor beyond local storage into battery banks - which is normal enough, but a very different concern.

Hmm, I think your table is using a different definition of "zero-copy" than is currently common when discussing serialization formats.

In your comparison you claim Concise is zero-copy, but it does not appear to be so, at least in the sense that Cap'n Proto and FlatBuffers are. Concise appears to use variable-width integers, tag-value sequences, and 8-byte alignment, all of which make encoded messages unsuitable as in-memory data structures; it looks to me like you have to parse the message into some sort of AST before you could meaningfully operate on the content. "Zero-copy" in the Cap'n Proto / FlatBuffers sense means that there's no need to do any "parsing" because the whole message is efficiently traverseable as-is; e.g. you can mmap() in a very large message and then find and access any one value within it in O(1) time (or perhaps O(log n), if the data structure is nested). This generally requires that primitive values have fixed widths and fields have fixed offsets within their parent object.

Digging into your docs it looks like what you really mean by "zero copy" is that individual strings or byte sequences can be used directly without copying them out of the original message buffer. This is a fairly common property of any binary protocol; e.g. Protocol Buffers can do this (albeit without NUL-termination), but in your table you have indicated that it cannot. I would maybe call this "zero-copy strings" to be clearer.

On another note, in your table you have indicated that Cap'n Proto doesn't have a "String" type, but this is not true -- Cap'n Proto's "Text" type is a UTF-8 string (and is even NUL-terminated on the wire).

(I'm the author of Cap'n Proto.)
I really don't understand, is sounds too ignorant and almost arrogant.

Web browser doesn't need to be set up, it is already included with iPad (or any Android device, or any laptop or desktop, or your smart TV, smart fridge or smart watch).

You need to configure your app during first launch pointing it to your data source, and maybe entering login and password. It is exactly the same amount of hussle compared to opening web site and make it default homepage of your browser.

I don't even want to talk about money, it's totally irrelevant, $10 or $0.
Why not transfer it over to a full String instead? How many other libraries and core functions expect an OsString? Why rely on an abstraction that's intentionally been given minimal functionality?

Of course `starts_with` is missing: you haven't resolved what underlying type the value actually is yet, and you'd be trying to compare apples and oranges for all you know! Move the OsString to a concrete type and you'll have all that functionality and more. The only time that will fail you is if you don't have a valid string to begin with, under which case `starts_with` should fail, correct?

Everything about OsString makes it a type you convert to and from, but it's not intended to be one you work /in/, since that would make require you to make assumptions about which platform you are running on. You really want to manipulate it? Go to String and back, and pay the cost. This should also encourage you to use OsString as little as possible, at the edges.
My mom used to tell how I almost drowned one time in a swimming pool when I was about five. I got stuck under a floating mattress of some kind. It definitely made a bigger impression on her than it did on me. I can (vaguely) remember the incident, and I don't remember freaking out or being scared of water (or mattresses) afterwards.
If I'm reading this right the growth grew by 800%, not the revenue?

"Overall, we increased SME revenue by 17% in this period."

"Firstly, the velocity of this growth is impressive. This equates to an 800% growth from September to March."

When I was growing up my father had an ashtray from his days in the navy, which was made from the bottom of a three inch shell. On the bottom stamped in the metal was '1944', which as a child confused me because I knew my dad was in the navy from 1959-1965, so I asked him. "Let's just say they made A LOT of those in 1944."

Sure, if your adversary is some literal hacker. But you also have to worry about legit companies that use aggressive "analytics". VSCode most likely logs keystrokes. It would suck if it also logs keystrokes that you type into other applications.
Banks is referencing the idea of "vitalism" - that living things have some special quality that nonliving things lack. It's kind of like a soul: it doesn't come from any particular ability of living things (like your example of projecting an abstract).

A thinking vitalist would say that, even if a computer could do the thing you're talking about, it wouldn't be "conscious" because consciousness requires this aura that only living creatures possess.

Canons of legal construction exist because of ambiguity in human language.

Here are a few that illustrate common imprecision in language.[0]

Conjunctive/Disjunctive Canon. And joins a conjunctive list, or a disjunctive list—but with negatives, plurals, and various specific wordings there are nuances.

Last-Antecedent Canon. A pronoun, relative pronoun, or demonstrative adjective generally refers to the nearest reasonable antecedent.

Series-Qualifier Canon. When there is a straightforward, parallel construction that involves all nouns or verbs in a series, a prepositive or postpositive modifier normally applies to the entire series.

Nearest-Reasonable-Referent Canon. When the syntax involves something other than a parallel series of nouns or verbs, a prepositive or postpositive modifier normally applies only to the nearest reasonable referent.

Proviso Canon. A proviso conditions the principal matter that it qualifies—almost always the matter immediately preceding.

General/Specific Canon. If there is a conflict between a general provision and a specific provision, the specific provision prevails (generalia specialibus non derogant).

Basically what happened in WW2
Agreed! I find dashboards at most companies disappointing. And often for the same reason I find other stuff on their walls disappointing: it's frequently irrelevant or actively unhelpful to the work actually being performed.

For me, good dashboards are like good checklists: they should be living entities owned by the team in question and regularly updated to address active concerns. And they don't even have to be complex. Back before CI was in fashion, I drove giant changes in a team's behavior just by having a single LED indicator (the now-departed Ambient Orb) show the state of the current build. Previously, the build would stay broken for weeks at a time, only converging to green around the time of release. Nobody liked that, but they were used to it, so they'd just work around it. But once it was visible and discussed, they eventually got so the build was green almost all the time. It was less painful and saved a bunch of time.

I would absolutely love to try out a set of ambient audio indicators. I suspect I'd want to try it along with a visual dashboard, because the moment I hear something anomalous, I'm going to want to look up and see the recent history, so I can correlate the audio with what it represents and what else is going on.
Lockjaw is a known bacterial infection where antibiotics would be useful. My guess is no virus was involved and the grandparent misunderstood what the doctors said.

"This is not an appeal to authority fallacy"

...yeah it is. Remdesivir has improved patient outcomes in the majority of cases it's been used so far - no, it hasn't been subject to comprehensive peer-reviewed study quite yet, but that's an awful reason to ignore our eyes in an emergent situation like this where death may be the alternative, and highly irresponsible for Derek Lowe to ignore. You're appealing to it being proper to ignore because authorities feel they haven't gone through enough red tape yet.

Am I wrong in observing that the public health response to the outbreak seems to be far less oriented towards solving the problem, but rather using psychological tactics to convince people that everything is fine, "the risk is low", and doing nothing is the proper response? (but also you're probably going to get the virus, so prepare for that, but only by washing your hands and certainly not preparing in a way that disrupts globalism)

I find Builders most useful when you've got a lot of optional arguments. For mandatory arguments (and most arguments should be mandatory), you should definitely use constructors instead, so that your tool kit can tell you when they change.

Optional arguments with reasonable defaults don't present a problem for refactoring. It does make it hard to spot the cases where the reasonable defaults don't work. One trick is to temporarily add it to the constructor, review all the errors, and then remove the constructor arg.
Not the point. The light is far enough away from the windows that there is zero reason for it to shining on them.
People waited in line for 3, 4, even 7 hours in black/Latino neighborhoods and on college campuses in Texas and California last night.

They close voting sites in these places, sometimes the day of the election:

They come up with convoluted ID requirements that only apply to college students, requiring types of ID their colleges don't even issue for them:

“And how long would that take?” Trump asked. The CEO said it would take months and then head into phase three. “All right. So you’re talking within a year.”

“A year to a year and a half,” Fauci again clarified.

“Well, but, Lenny is talking about two months, right?” Trump said, incorrectly referring to Schleifer’s August estimate.

“A little — a little longer,” Schleifer again clarified. “A little longer.”

“A couple of months, right?” Trump pressed. “I mean, I like the sound of a couple of months better, I must be honest with you.”

...

Soon, Trump returned to his preferred months-long timetable. Asked by a reporter whether he’s comfortable with this taking longer than that, Trump again sounded as though he hadn’t heard everything the CEOs and experts had just told him.

“I don’t think they know what the time will be,” Trump said. “I’ve heard very quick numbers — a matter of months — and I’ve heard pretty much a year would be an outside number.”

Would this also the case if someone who had SARS and recovered was re-exposed to SARS?
Is it possible you’re confusing the traditional-401k vs. Roth 401k question, with a Mega-backdoor Roth?

Mega-backdoor Roth does not need to be an alternative to a traditional 401k.

AFTER you’ve maxed out your tax advantaged opportunities (mostly, employer 401k), if your employer offers the necessary pre-requisites (of which there are many), a mega-backdoor-Roth is a way to put another $30-40k into a tax advantaged account every year.

It’s an absurdly regressive tax expenditure for the 1%, but if that’s where you’re at, I can’t blame anyone for availing themselves of it.
There was is one paper[0] where 4 candidates were tested on a number of animal species. In all but one variant, immunity was successfully conferred by the vaccine.

However, in all successful cases, the vaccines triggered some sort of autoimmune response wherin upon exposure to the pathogen post vaccination, lung damage resulted[0].

Now I believe this has something to do with another nefarious speculated property of SARS-CoV-2: Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE). Can't find the original source but here[1] researchers also speculate about ADE. The gist is that your antibodies, instead of neutralizing the virus, actually enhance its ability to enter your cells[2]. I don't know if this is confirmed, but multiple sources have made the suggestion. If this is the case, typical vaccines actually may be dangerous. Now I'm not not an expert but I believe there is a way to create a vaccine which avoids ADE, but AFAIK that hasn't been done for the previous SARS strain. This was a problem with MERS too btw.

You're not being reductionist enough. The brain is just atoms. 'Feedback loops' is just a model, and not actually real. The problem is that physics never predicted that consciousness would arise, there is literally no physical model for what consciousness is.
