You're right. The benchmarks are bad.
I benchmarked the best and the worst case in scope of the original file, so I look up for the first and the last hash.

I totally missed that if I look for the same hash over and over again, I'd end up reading the same B-tree files parts, so they can be easily cached. That's probably the reason it seemed so fast.

No lies here, I just missed this (:

I'll rewrite benchmarks and update the results.

I would be curious to know how this helicopter money policy could affect inflation assuming the Covid-19 outbreak causes a bigger than anticipated supply-side shock.
Dr. Li Wenliang was healthy and died to the virus at only 33.
I think the idiom in Clojure is for threads to be functional, so they aren't running persistently and mutating shared state: they spin off to do nonblocking work and then return their result. While doing so they share memory so as to avoid serialization/cloning overhead, but that shared memory is an immutable data structure, so you don't really have to worry about race conditions because threads can't step on each other's toes.
To take this one step further: How many engineering hours and brain power gets wasted so that 12-year-olds can upload high definition pictures and videos online few seconds faster?

Then again, nothing has "meaning" unless we decide to hand it over.

So assuming 40% of the world gets it, and 1% mortality that's about 30,120,000 dead.

If it's 70% of the world gets it approximately 52,710,000 dead

however, I think once we're at 40% of the population having it I would expect things to go worse because that is a lot of people overloading the health system.

While the app optimization may have played a small part, I know for a fact that when I updated my iPhone 6 to IOS 11 it basically became unusable until a whole year later when they released IOS 12. I upgraded to the 8 during this time and really regretted it once the 6 was updated to fix all the issues. If I had been able to downgrade my software it wouldn't have been an issue, but Apple forced my hand to buy a new phone by breaking my old one with zero recourse available to me. I'm now very, very careful to not update software on my phone until I've vetted it carefully. Apple lost a lot of goodwill from me with that whole shitshow.

Put the AI in a robot that looks and feels like a human and that is in no way connected to the internet and I will buy one. It has to laugh at my stupid jokes or maybe even face palm when it's appropriate.
I wonder how much of that is technology, and how much is actually inherent to the privacy.

Google collects your data to show you ads, but it also uses that to inform its search algorithm. Exactly how it does so is deliberately opaque, but it's no surprise that it knows that you probably mean the local restaurant rather than the one in Indiana by the same name -- and even that you mean that restaurant despite having mistyped it as the name of a different restaurant.

There is assuredly more to it than that, and it's not really a surprise that it can give you better search results if it knows who you are. Whether that's worth your privacy is up to you -- though many people don't really make that choice consciously.
If all sites are behind symmetric NATs, there's not much ZeroTier could do to help aside from telling him to assign direct mappings on the NAT/Firewall to each ZT instance. Symmetric NATs are antithetical to peer to peer communication. Many I've run across in the wild have special rules to handle IPSec which won't exist for other lesser known protocols. It's also possible the user wasn't willing or able to make network configuration changes to make those p2p connections possible. Without seeing what the user tried & support recommended, it's not really fair to throw out such baseless accusations.

The latest numbers from the WHO say that although CFR was much higher in January, a new case in China in March will have a CFR of 0.7%.

The reality is, very few customers really care about apologies or words. They want results. When customer service can't do anything without approval or just can't fix anything then you may as well call what you do customer no service. I've been doing CS for over 10 years.

Two examples from my experience. Had a lady crying because her laptop never arrived and she thought it would be charged to her anyway. I apologized to try and console her. But it wasn't until I promised that she wouldn't be charged if she never got it that she stopped crying.

Another time, on the receiving end, the company AAA gave me the runaround for 3 months in an infuriating circle of no service. Finally I called the other party and told him I'd have to file a lawsuit if it wasn't resolved by the next day. Miraculously I got a phone call from an upper manager with a real apology and an explanation of their failure. We were able to cut a deal then and there. I never felt more relieved than when he was giving that apology and it changed the entire tone of where the call was going.

Thats what the apology should do. It should shape the rest of the call. A predestined stock apology only serves to annoy the caller on the rest of that transaction.
posix_spawn() is reasonably portable and returns them separately.
Exchange health insurance is still pretty unaffordable if you're unemployed or underemployed, and it's much less likely than employer health insurance to cover medical conditions that aren't required by law to be covered (e.g. gender dysphoria).

Our system is messed up.
TLDR: A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in Italy has found that giving cancerous mice high doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) enhanced immunotherapy, resulting in slowed or stopped tumor growth.

Maybe Linus Pauling was indeed on to something (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling ) with his idea of high dose IV vitamin C: skipping the article as it seems to take political positions ("But if this work makes some headlines of the “Linus Pauling was right” sort, don’t believe them") and using Wikipedia as a source instead:

Pauling's work on vitamin C in his later years generated much controversy. He was first introduced to the concept of high-dose vitamin C by biochemist Irwin Stone in 1966. After becoming convinced of its worth, Pauling took 3 grams of vitamin C every day to prevent colds.[13] Excited by his own perceived results, he researched the clinical literature and published Vitamin C and the Common Cold in 1970. He began a long clinical collaboration with the British cancer surgeon Ewan Cameron in 1971 on the use of intravenous and oral vitamin C as cancer therapy for terminal patients.[143] Cameron and Pauling wrote many technical papers and a popular book, Cancer and Vitamin C, that discussed their observations. Pauling made vitamin C popular with the public[144] and eventually published two studies of a group of 100 allegedly terminal patients that claimed vitamin C increased survival by as much as four times compared to untreated patients

(...)

medical establishment concluded that his claims that vitamin C could prevent colds or treat cancer were quackery.[13][151] Pauling denounced the conclusions of these studies and handling of the final study as "fraud and deliberate misrepresentation",[152][153] and criticized the studies for using oral, rather than intravenous vitamin C[154] (which was the dosing method used for the first ten days of Pauling's original study
This may be exactly the way to make change happen here in America. Corporations only understand the language of financial incentive. Coke and Pepsi and all single-use manufacturers need to be responsible for the costs of recycling the containers they create. In Germany, rulings and regulations in this vein have increased the proportion of recycled products to over 66%[1]. If corporations have no economic incentive to create recyclable products, they will act to externalize those costs as much as possible. With the worldwide economies of scale that Coke and Pepsi can leverage, we enter into a self-reinforcing plastic-industry sustaining death spiral.

Not even close. It uses huge loads of RAM while Budgie, while using the same technology, is far snappier. For a current user, I'd suggest Solus with Budgie.
Is it per program or global? If it's global, it fixes nothing for this specific issue.
Great post! Thanks for all the details.

Java is special in this regard because the common case of letting an exception terminate the program is harder than ignoring it. When I was still writing Java, I'd gotten so annoyed by this that in the top layers every method "throws Exception". It was less verbose than promoting all the checked exceptions to runtime errors.

Unfortunately people don't know about this possibility and write empty catch statements because "it's not going to happen anyway". Yeah right.
What a nice, capable man he was:

THE death of Stalin, like the death of Lenin 29 years ago, marks an epoch in Russian history. Rarely have two successive rulers of a great country responded so absolutely to its changing needs and piloted it so successfully through periods of crisis. Lenin was at the helm through five years of revolution, civil war, and precarious recovery. Stalin, coming to power in the aftermath of revolution, took up the task of organizing and disciplining the revolutionary state, and putting into execution the revolutionary programmes of planned industry and collectivized agriculture. He thus equipped the country to meet the gravest external peril which had threatened it since Napoleon, and brought it triumphantly through a four years’ ordeal of invasion and devastation.

That's from the Times obituary.

Not OP, but I'll give my list (I use it despite these issues tho):
- associating programs to file extensions is not only out of sync with the system, but also a huge pain to fix manually as basically none of my programs show up in the dropdown
- it uses the extraordinarily crappy GTK3 file picker, regardless of environment
- hardware acceleration is hit-or-miss
- no borderless top bar
- drag&drop is janky (not sure if Plasma-specific)
- touch scrolling and gestures need about:config tweaks to work

None of these are killers for me as I really dislike the way Chromium renders pages (I know how weird that sound) and want to support Gecko even if it's partially inferior, but at least the file picker thing is an absolute disaster (not unique to FF, but they're no doubt the biggest in terms of time spent using it).

Not mentioned here is tail risk: what degree of extremely serious global harm is possible far outside that of seasonal influenzas? Not trying to predict the risk of that happening, but rather, what is the world's exposure if it does?

Not about fear-mongering: rather, seems better to mitigate exposure to extreme harm rather than be anxious about the possibility of it happening.

Growing up reading LOTR, Silmarillion, etc and ignoring the portrayal of Balrogs in LOTR movies, In the actual text I see: "and its wings were spread from wall to wall" (referring to the Balrog confronting Gandalf). Wings in the sense that gliders have wings, they can float/glide down but don't expect them to fly into the sky. If they could fly why didn't the Balrog that fought with Gandalf in Moria at Khazad Dum fly upwards when Gandalf broke the bridge? They ended up both falling, tumbling down to the abyss.

Thanks for pointing this out.

You're right. As I said in some comment up there, the benchmarks are bad.
I benchmarked the best and the worst case in scope of the original file, so I look up for the first and the last hash.

I totally missed that if I look for the same hash over and over again, I'd end up reading the same B-tree files parts, so they can be easily cached. That's probably the reason it seemed so fast.

I'll rewrite benchmarks and update the results.

About the Bloom filter, I thought about that but I wanted a solution that is 100% correct. The filter doesn't guarantee that.

About the sorting. I wanted to implement a stand-alone library that does everything for you and that is cross-platform. That's why everything is implemented, without dependencies/usage of other tools.
I agree with all of that, however, I still stand by; if you're writing a technical document/paper you should spell out all of them, it's just how I was taught.

It doesn't have to be a hard rule, but major topics of a subject should be spelled out, at least, then you're giving people something to work with in their web search.
and it's great to encourage government initiatives to tackle those problems, but I'm not implying private startups should replace those initiatives, but rather complement them.

The mighty NASA and Russia's space program hadn't (and still haven't) figured out how to build reusable self-landing rockets (for a # of reasons), and yet a company with startup-level resources like SpaceX did.

Part of it is because startups have to succeed at their goal, or they die. Government entities don't die if they don't pull off medicare for all.

In addition, startups don't have the slow and bulky bureaucracy of government in their way. Think of what those advantages can bring about in healthcare, energy, and other moonshot fields, if they just had the funding.

Hence why it's so important for big funds like SoftBank to invest in those, not nonsense startups with nothing more than a cult leader.
I think opinionated is the real deal. You can make smarter software and focus on features and on the way create a better future. Being able to twist and specialize everything is not always good.
