Compile time generic programming is not a replacement for runtime reflection. A great example of this is if you want to use dynamically generated protocol buffers.

A great usecase for this is if you want to store each row in a database as a proto message. Instantiate a descriptor based on the table schema and go.
This keeps getting pushed. When I dug in, the CEO of the company was taking out $1M+/yr despite revenue < $20M/yr for the co, and then had a media blitz when the salaries came back to earth.

I walked away with a couple of different lessons, including on why this keeps showing up in places :)

With BeyondCorp, the production network you access does host all of the critical jobs including search. But of course you only get to manipulate these jobs in an approved way, e.g. using an RPC to bring up or bring down a job. Interacting with jobs by sending them RPCs requires ACLs naturally.

You don't get direct SSH access to production machines or any other lower level network access like packet sniffing on the production network.
React-native does not run in a webview. The JS binds directly to native elements. In fact, you can easily wrap any native code and make JS bindings to call it directly.
I'm surprised that nobody in the company said "Hey, this is a leap year, can our system handle Feb 29th?"
For example if you have something like:

(study [student age] ,,,)

And inside it calls a bunch of auxiliary functions where you pass either `student` or `age` depending on what those functions do, then someone says: "oh we need to also add an address", and have address verification in the midst of that pipeline. And instinctively programmer would add another positional argument. And to all auxiliary functions that require it. The problem with the positional arguments - they often lie, they're value depends on their position, both in the caller and in the callee.

It also makes it difficult to carry the data through functions in between. The only benefit that positional arguments offer is the wrong arity errors (like you noted). And yes, passing maps can cause problems, but both Joker and Kondo can catch those early, and Eastwood does that as well, although it is painfully slow. With Orchestra and properly Spec'ed functions - the missing or wrong key would fail even before you save the file. I don't even remember the last time we had a production bug due to a missing key in a map args.

But of course it all depends on what you're trying to do. I personally use positional arguments, but I try not to add more that two.
Try to package up as a product the experience you're selling when you're doing consultancy work e.g. as a book, a SaaS, a mobile app, an online course. Jumping between companies as you freelance lets you see common pain points that you could address and manual work that you could create a product for to automate. It's probably harder to do this if you're on a salary in the same company on the same project for years too.

https://www.checkbot.io/ is a paid Chrome extension I built that automates many of the checks I used to do manually during contracts when optimising the SEO, speed and security of websites. I found many developers and content editors on websites I worked with weren't checking for web best practices because of lack of knowledge + time and because doing manual checks is error-prone + tedious.

Everyone who can do it, should work from home. Also avoid big gatherings and pretty much reduce (but not completely avoid contact). The coronavirus is inevitable at this moment it will stay with us. But slowing it out makes a BIG difference so hospitals can keep up and we can develop and distribute a vaccine which may take 2 years.

The snopes article says almost exactly the same thing as your WaPo snippet:

> "Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer abruptly departed from his post leading the global health security team on the National Security Council in May 2018 amid a reorganization of the council by then-National Security Advisor John Bolton, and Ziemer’s team was disbanded. Tom Bossert, whom the Washington Post reported “had called for a comprehensive biodefense strategy against pandemics and biological attacks,” had been fired one month prior."

> "It’s thus true that the Trump administration axed the executive branch team responsible for coordinating a response to a pandemic and did not replace it, eliminating Ziemer’s position and reassigning others, although Bolton was the executive at the top of the National Security Council chain of command at the time."

Seems pretty clear to me.
There are two sources of violence, at the risk of sounding politically incorrect. One would be whites in rural areas which wouldn't need quarantine. The other would be blacks in urban areas which sure would need quarantine.

I know this may sound alarmist but do prepare for rioting if you're in an urban area.
Yikes. Curious what’s gonna happen for WWDC.
It's going to be quite jarring to Americans when they realize how many people are already infected.

This is good but clearly wouldn't work in many cases. Amazon, 2019 [1]:

number of employees = 798k
yearly pretax GAAP earnings = $13,976,000k
yearly pretax GAAP earnings per employee = $17,514.

This means if all Amazon employees got an extra $18k year end bonus in 2019 then Amazon would have reduced their GAAP earnings to slightly below zero. You can do this calculation easily for any public company, just find their 10-K's on SEC.gov.

To quote one of the maintainers of the golang/protobuf implementation:

> The jsonpb package is intended to the be faithful implementation of the proto<->JSON specification, for which the C++ implementation is considered the canonical "reference" implementation.

And that C++ implementation does some kinda dumb things. For example, it marshals the protobuf type of int64 into a string when marshaling from a protobuf struct into JSON.

https://github.com/golang/protobuf/pull/916

I believe that the package they mention there is meant to be a more "canonical" protobuf <-> json marshaller than the existing jsonpb package.
And it's not probabilistic, it gives strict answer whether an element is in the set or not.

Yeah, I want to echo this. The recent-ish rise in drop-bear attacks is also a bit of a pizza effect. It seems that the increase can be traced back to a bacteria that irritates the mouth of the drop bear, making them more prone to attacking humans and other large creatures. Recent results state that the bacterial strain was a mutant strain that originated in a Swedish zoo exhibit of drop bears that were on loan from the Australian government. When one of the mating pair was returned to Australia, the bacteria spread like wildfire (no pun intended) to the wild populations and captive ones. More can be found here:

> Waymo is already doing rides without a safety driver to passengers who have signed their NDA. Which means they're confident of their behaviour on some really difficult problems, like pedestrians.

If they were confident they'd lift the NDA. I really can't say much more, other than I disagree.

> Sure, it'll be at least a decade (if ever) before they can do everything a human driver can do, but a "meaningful product" they pretty much already have.

As per the blizzards, I'm not talking about a driverless car that can do anything a person can do. I'm talking about a driverless car in any environment (let's say Phoenix) that can compete with Uber or Lyft and possibly maybe someday somehow make a profit.

Another question to ask yourself - why is turnover so high if things are going so well? Nobody wants to stick around to become filthy rich and work on an awesome product that can change the world? Or maybe reality is a little different from the blog posts you read every few months.

This is not something that any sane person would "prank" about. I think doing so might actually be a crime.
Close to unbreakable and getting stronger over time (you won't be able to build a better search engine than Google unless you have as much data as Google).

While it’s true that I don’t see anyone beating Google at search, Facebook and Amazon can deliver better targeted ads and they are harder to block.

No one beat MS on the desktop - the desktop became less relevant.
It's Google.

Valid versions are in the 0 < x < 1.0 range.

You are correct on the citation (it's at the top of the page so I didn't think it needed to be re-cited). My read is the researchers found that in actual daily use with trained mask users there was no benefit in respiratory virus infection prevention from N95 over traditional surgical masks (laboratory testing doesn't mean people working in a laboratory, it means a controlled experimental test setting as distinct from actual real world usage). Are you reading a different conclusion from that paper? As I read it, their meta analysis strongly suggests that as far as viral respiratory diseases go, N95 masks add nothing but cost, discomfort, and security theater when compared with cheaper, more comfortable, and easier to wear surgical masks.
Like how both sides use the concept of states rights.

Some state passes legislation the party in power doesn't like, they use the Fed govt to clamp down on issues. A few years later when the party in power loses majority, they pass legislation on the state level, and complain about their rights being infringed on when the same behavior happens.

Rules for thee, not for me.
Facebook is what a social network would be if it was a capitalist engine for data mining and advertisement injections.

Facebook is not a social network for connecting people with people they care about.
Yes, but I mean, what if you replace the sticker with the barcode and the serial number?

You have #C097412. You remove it, and put on #D108523. You then replace the barcode and serial number underneath with #D108523.
This same story made the front page a few days ago. Is someone astroturfing this story on HN?
Yeap. There is a night and day difference in attack surfaces between isolating access to a single (or HA pair) jumpbox and N boxes on the internet with no real DMZ or private admin network. Feelings and fashions don't make stupid configurations better. If you have a problem with honest opinions from someone with 25 years of experience, I think you need thicker skin or I can choose to simply not comment and let stupid fashions propagate.
I'm intrigued.

What are some of your favorite stories about effecting change from within the government?
If I recall correctly, $70k was originally what everyone in the company was paid. Regardless of position. Including the CEO.

Looks like now it's the minimum. They had to bump the skilled positions to market rates.
So like https://getcommande.com/ but focused on devs?

I expect to see more trends of the spotlight/alred/vscode command+p UX being used for different verticals.

Pretty meh on this use case, however, as devs are very difficult to sell to. I guess that's why you're focused on Jira and selling to enterprise.

A lot of these companies have already run in anticipation (eg TDOC and ZM), and or were already obscenely expensive courtesy of the bubbly valuations in the market.

I'll add DocuSign (DOCU) to the list of companies that will benefit, however. A lot of people are about to be introduced to relying on their services in the coming months. Disclosure: I no longer own the stock, it's stupid expensive here, trading for ~19 times sales with no profit; future optimistic results are being pulled massively forward.
>You are severely underestimating how much of being a doctor is having to defend the route of standard care against what is actual nonsense.

I can assure you that my wife and I received orders of magnitude more nonsense from friends, family, colleagues and random assholes in the mall that saw her headscarf. The amount of unsolicited packages and potions we received at our doorstep from anonymous people over the course of her treatment puts anything that I brought to her doctor to shame.

>I'm sure in the modern era, when they are just trying what they know is the best researched, best chance they know for a successful path for you or your loved ones, they are beyond sick of hearing your alternative theses assembled from mommy blogs and witch doctors.

I get it. I really do as I personally was asked repeatedly to 'just try this' random bullshit for my wife all the time. There's a huge gap between sprinkling lion's mane mushroom on your eggs and seeking treatment for my wife's hyperglycemia that put her solidly in the diabetic category. Endocrinology wouldn't treat it because she didn't show elevated A1C, but I had nobody in my wife's corner to explain why A1C isn't a good signal when you're severely anemic and getting transfusions every other week. Google 'hyperglycemia cancer progression' with a 'site:gov' to keep it from NIH and other government agencies. There's a GIANT FUCKING SIGNAL that elevated blood glucose increases cancer progression, but I couldn't find a single doctor to even listen. To them it's all equivalent bullshit.

Maybe it's not fear then. Maybe it's apathy. I'm not sure that's better.

Anyone who believes a word of this, does not know a thing about money...or basic accounting, for that matter.

The credit will dry up pretty quickly with stunts like this, and the fact that he doesn't call it a success is VERY telling.

No business fails because it does not generate revenue; they only fail when they do not generate CREDIT. This is a "dit.com" era scam. EVERY job at that company can be automated, and you only get credit when you are reducing costs and expanding. This guy is jerking off in public, nothing more.

A positive test result would indicate to a person that they should remain in isolation for a week or so (or whatever the current recommendation is) after they get better, and not return to work immediately.

It might also be useful to have a diagnosis to present to an impatient boss who wants you back at work.
the results of the test indicate whether quarantine and contact tracing are useful.
