Reddit does have some informal guidelines (Reddiquette) on this: https://www.reddithelp.com/en/categories/reddit-101/reddit-b...

Summary:

DO:

> - Vote. If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit it is posted in or is off-topic in a particular community, downvote it.

> - Consider posting constructive criticism / an explanation when you downvote something, and do so carefully and tactfully.

> - Actually read an article before you vote on it (as opposed to just basing your vote on the title).

> - Moderate based on quality, not opinion. Well written and interesting content can be worthwhile, even if you disagree with it.

DON'T:

> - Downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it. Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you're downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion. If you simply take a moment to stop, think and examine your reasons for downvoting, rather than doing so out of an emotional reaction, you will ensure that your downvotes are given for good reasons.

> - Mass downvote someone else's posts. If it really is the content you have a problem with (as opposed to the person), by all means vote it down when you come upon it. But don't go out of your way to seek out an enemy's posts.

> - Moderate a story based on your opinion of its source. Quality of content is more important than who created it.

> - Upvote or downvote based just on the person that posted it. Don't upvote or downvote comments and posts just because the poster's username is familiar to you. Make your vote based on the content.

> - Report posts just because you do not like them. You should only be using the report button if the post breaks the subreddit rules.
Strongly agree (with you).

From the very first formulation of Ubiquitous Computing, the idea of a calmer and more environmentally integrated way of displaying information has held intuitive appeal. Weiser called this “calm computing”..
When information can be conveyed via calm changes in the environment, users are more able to focus on their primary work tasks while staying aware of non-critical information that affects them. Research in this sub-domain goes by various names including “ambient displays”, “peripheral displays”, and “notification systems”...

How do you see this as relevant to a REST API?

Many people would need additional tooling to parse JSON into a structured type, especially in dynamic languages where unstructured data types are the norm. And even if you do that, you're still going to have to validate the data and tell the client where they might have messed up the formatting.

Parsing is a totally fine, low-cost, low-risk way to validate chunks of JSON before trying to parse them -- or not trying to parse them, if that's your choice. People who use TypeScript on the server side, for example, will only need to validate.
Reddit and such communities can act like filters for the web. A lot of people are really good at searching google for info and know when something is likely BS and that filter gets captured on forums like Reddit.

You imagine healthy companies just having 17% of total investment sitting around in warehouses because they might need it someday? I encourage you to read up on Lean Manufacturing and just-in-time delivery, which swept the US in the 1980s. Even to an MBA, over-ordering gear by $50 million is pretty obvious waste.
It didn't involve clinical trials on humans. That's the one thing that takes time in medicine and can't be optimized away. You can't do medicine without clinical trials.
I know of a couple of folks that were in the business. Selling twitter profiles, Instagram profiles or asking users with >10k followers to make content ads that don’t look like ads.

Marketing is a massive business. It makes a shit ton of money. FB and GOOG are ad companies at the end of the day, and there’s ton of little companies that they nurture as side effects.
FWIW, with regards to Medium, they changed their payment terms so that SEO is almost not rewarded at all.
While CMake & Bazel are gaining in popularity, Make is still the de-facto standard for firmware projects. It certainly is miles better than some of the XML-based, GUI-first build systems IDEs bundled with Keil or IAR.
In central Kansas we would see rainfall exceeding that rate multiple times a year. I've seen it as high as 12"/hour for a few minutes.
We evaluated umpteen graph dbs this past year and chose vanilla Postgres instead because Neo4j/RedisGraph have insane licenses.

It’s useful you’re comparing these languages. I would suggest to make yours more like Cypher, specifically the arrows <-[]-> are much less verbose than BIDIRECT/ REVERSELY, and MATCH is a lot less verbose and more powerful than other query languages. It sucks to want to use Neo4j then not be able to due to license and business issues.

If there were a quality graph db with a permissive license and Cypher, serverless hosting, search and JSON, we’d use it... neo4j didn’t work out because they require an NDA to get a price quote (!) and the Redis Source Available License basically reads, “you can’t use this for startups”; RedisLabs.com quotes a “low” price of $500 monthly to get modules with basic stuff like JSON, Search, and Graphs (“cloud pro”) - but then the pricing page triples that number. We pointed this out to redislabs at least 3 different channels (email, git, Twitter) but the pricing error still exists on their cloud page. If RedisLabs leaves an $800 / mo typo sitting on their page for months, how do you trust them with sensitive customer data? Went with Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL instead. Love Row Level Security (but wish you could specify columns inside your row policies)

You might also include ArangoDB AQL
Yes. Schemas are useful. What alternative do you propose? The only other option I can imagine is sending the schema along with the object, in which case you should just be using XML instead of JSON.
Fix your stock exchanges to have stock splits then like the LSE does.
I'm sorry you've worked on so much crappy code. I have 30+ years' mostly-C experience myself, I've seen a lot of code that doesn't check or handle errors as well as it should, but code that routinely ignores errors (like e.g. most Python code) is a distinct minority. I wouldn't work on code that was "in production in critical systems" with that misfeature for very long before seeking a job where I could work with actual professionals.
The problem isn't that the skills and supply chains are fundamentally different but that supply chains for non-military equipment become globalized if not outright off-shored (often to geopolitical rivals) and therefore cannot be counted on in case of a major geopolitical conflict.

Pre-massive-globalization, we had no problem gearing up for WW2. Our industrial capacity was largely in-house. There were some things like rubber that were off-shore, but generally the industrial toolchain was domestically produced.

Nowadays, many domestic industrial producers rely heavily on these (bloated) military contracts to maintain relevance in a globalized industrial setting where the center of gravity for a lot of heavy industry and tool production has shifted to Asia.

I love international trade and I'm skeptical of military spending (and even more so of military adventurism), but this effect should be kept in mind when making trade policy. The military-industrial complex is keeping alive much of our industrial know-how that would otherwise be entirely be off-shored and retired domestically.
I just can't imagine a plausible scenario where a war between nuclear powers comes down to which side has more tanks. Does the US military actually think that it could invade China or Russia with a conventional army without the other side quickly threatening to use nukes? At that point it would become a two true outcome scenario: either the conventional fighting stops or we are all in big trouble.
> very concerned that the FDA is far too quick with drug approval based on weak outcomes

The current FDA requires strong evidence of safety, over a long period. Prasad etc are arguing the FDA should be stricter on efficacy. In a pandemic, it makes sense to lower your standards for safety to get new treatments out sooner.
Among destructive devices built as kids in the 90s, I think our crowning accomplishment was the Thermite we made as teenagers... only possible thanks to my friend who was somehow able to acquire a big block of Magnesium. I provided the Aluminium baseball bat ;) We got lucky that it fizzled out partway through (maybe from hitting dirt?), but his parents were definitely not too thrilled about the nasty hole in the concrete patio.
I wasn't in Traffic
It's another function though, surely harder to reach for than the normal search. What's the value in bifurcating your searching process? What do you gain?
Production of pharmaceuticals (such as a vaccine, when it's ready) and medical equipment (such as ventilators) can be ramped up by commissioning and requisitioning an arbitrary number of factories, but developing a vaccine is inherently a sequence of trials that can only be "multithreaded" between relatively few research teams trying different approaches semi-independently.
I guess the selling point for REST still stands -- if you don't need any of that stuff, you can set up a much simpler API for rapid prototyping.
Where are all these tabks located?
This tactic is used a lot. Especially by large companies looking for free info about a market they want to enter.
I use WikiData as a (non-realtime) data source for Swymm.org. I've written a bunch of pretty intense SPARQL queries as such and I agree that it's odd that SPARQL is not mentioned in the post.
Indeed. It shocks me when I see boo-coo bucks being spent on all sorts of bells and whistles, and then ask about their backup strategy. Oh, all of our drives are RAID...
The key may not be a vaccine but simply staying alive. Covid-19 kills with a "cytokine storm":

cytochine release syndrome(cytokine storm):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_release_syndrome

Article discussing coronavirus et al and cytochine storm:

"Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China"

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

From the article:

"In view of the high amount of cytokines induced by SARS-CoV,22, 24 MERS-CoV,25, 26 and 2019-nCoV infections, corticosteroids were used frequently for treatment of patients with severe illness, for possible benefit by reducing inflammatory-induced lung injury. However, current evidence in patients with SARS and MERS suggests that receiving corticosteroids did not have an effect on mortality, but rather delayed viral clearance.27, 28, 29 Therefore, corticosteroids should not be routinely given systemically, according to WHO interim guidance."

Curcumin has been shown to suppress the cytokine storm.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25600522/

Curcumin is found in the spice turmeric and is available in most grocery stores. Today you can buy a pound of turmeric powder for ~$6. You can buy curcumin tablets in the health & fitness section.

Other anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDS(aspirin, buprofen, naproxen),prednisone, etc.) are not as effective.

In India children are often given a daily teaspoon of turmeric (curcumin) in milk or water. India suffered much lower SARS deaths (there are confounding factors, e.g. India's high summer heat). I expect the same to happen with covid-19.
Might this be similar to the stress/shock introduced partial memory loss, as it often happens with heavy accidents, where the accident itself isn't remembered by the patient?
You make some excellent points and I agree. Though perhaps the wrong thread-branch to make that point.
Due Diligence Steps for Cloud Storage and Data Processor Storage
You can speed up clinical trials by running larger ones at earlier stages. This risks more deaths from bad medicines, which may still be worth it in a pandemic.
I would love if some absurdly rich person started an initiative donating life-changing money, like a few hundred millions or so, to any expert who finds himself in a situation being asked questions like this by the president and who then stands up to Trumps' stupid Hey-I'm-the-frickin-president-and-you-don't-want-to-say-no-to-me-that's-why-I-just-stubbornly-suggest-what-I-want-to-hear-long-enough-until-you-give-up tactics by simply calling BS on him, loud and clear and repeatedly, if necessary.

Heck, if I had the money I would do it, just for fun (and to make the world a better place, of course). I mean, these people are not stubborn or dumb or shy. I guess they are just intimidated by this guy who can basically ruin their professional careers and thus their financial existence with a snap of his fingers - and who wouldn't hesitate to do so, if his feeble ego craves for it. That must be why we get "A little - a little longer" instead of "Nobody said anything about 'two', you just made that up! The only number that fell was 'one', and it was suffixed by 'year'. Let me repeat that for you: one year! Oh, and I must be honest with you: nobody cares about what you'd like to hear."
>Wait until they hear about the hundreds of billions of dollars worth of all sorts of stuff sitting idle that has been purchased by the DoD and USG paid for by tax money.

What is your point? This is "whataboutism".

Do you not see a difference between government entities and private companies (owned in majority by one billionaire)?

Another thing is that 401k and IRAs might not be great for someone hoping to retire early because of the early withdrawal penalties.
The one common paradigm of Makefiles I'm enjoying (and using myself) is the pattern for enabling more verbose logging.

ifeq ($(V),1)
Q :=
else
Q := @
endif

somerule:
$(Q)$(CC) -c $^ -o $@

$ make V=1

It's mentioned in this article and I suggest everyone use it in their Makefiles, for when the time comes for me and others to debug it.
Good one (odds ratio=0.88), and it's generally low-risk.
That's true, though I often forget it. But surely those cracker-jack security expert HTML writers don't forget! Or use such privacy insensitive tools as the ones you've mentioned.
Cornavirus: The Worst Case Scenario
OpenAPI v3 can handle what you describe, although it's a pain to write it by hand and tooling in your language may be missing support for edge cases (i.e. incomplete spec implementation).

My suggestion would be to define your APIs in a neutral, flexible format (such as Spot[1]) and then generate OAS 3 or whatever other formats you need. That helps you avoid lock-in and any tedium required to handle less-capable formats.

Lowe was a proponent of intravenous vitamin C under a specific set of circumstances for immune response during oncology (https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2020/03/02/vi...), and in China and Korea claims are being made that similar intravenous (not oral therapy) has positive results: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-elCYFhqJs&feature=emb_logo) and (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04264533)

It would be ironic if the most overhyped supplement of all time had efficacy here.

Because that makes the costs much higher. At some point, the unit costs are dominated by fixed costs, so producing 1 a year costs 10 times as much per unit as producing, say, 15 per year.

> Hating on billionaires - so hot right now

People don't hate the billionaires, they disapprove of a system structured to allow some people to acquire vast wealth on the order of billions while large numbers struggle with the basics like healthcare, childcare, education, and housing, while that system pays lip service to their struggles while doing little to change it.

Western European countries, Japan, South Korea, for example, have billionaires, and many 100-millionaires, but do a much better job providing universal benefits.
The fees I am referencing were imposed by brokers, not exchanges. Our exchanges have stock splits, but that still doesn't make a $10 fee on a single $50 share very palatable to the small-time investor.
WHO says coronavirus is deadlier than the seasonal flu strains
I think you are rewriting history. Viaweb was selling shovels (enable small businesses to generate websites) Ycombinator is selling shovels (enable people to launch startups, initially for an outrageously low investment).

Selling shovels was one of the fundamental concepts during the first bubble, nothing new.

Webshops were nothing new either.

His innovation was turning startups into movement, largely using this website and blog about it so tirelessly (always using the term "startup") that he is credited with the concept.

> Here's a simple personal finance question that seems very hard to answer: should you overpay your mortgage, or put more money towards retirement?

it's certainly subtle, and depends quite a bit on a person's circumstances. i feel like i've seen the financial forums answer that fairly well, though, when folks describe their personal situation (and risk tolerance!).

> It might be impossible to answer well but I feel someone should turn it into an optimization problem (in the engineering sense).

i think it might be hard to turn it into a concrete one (most of your effort would go into accurately estimating the user's current risk tolerance, and their expectations for future interest rates and cash flows), but it would be nice to see a rough flow chart produced, so that people could be walked through the steps that need to be considered.
This is an egregious breach of trust, completely akin to VW's shenanigans falsifying emissions testing. And yet there doesn't seem to be much outrage about it. Is Apple indeed so completely encapsulated in Teflon?
Google Kubernetes Engine is introducing a cluster management fee on June 6
EDIT: Link on Google's Official Documentation here https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/pricing

Just received an email from Google Cloud -

"On June 6, 2020, your Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters will start accruing a management fee, with an exemption for all Anthos GKE clusters and one free zonal cluster.

Starting June 6, 2020, your GKE clusters will accrue a management fee of $0.10 per cluster per hour, irrespective of cluster size and topology.

We’re making some changes to the way we offer Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Starting June 6, 2020, your GKE clusters will accrue a management fee of $0.10 per cluster per hour, irrespective of cluster size and topology. We’re also introducing a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that’s financially backed with a guaranteed availability of 99.95% for regional clusters and 99.5% for zonal clusters running a version of GKE available through the Stable release channel. Below, you’ll find additional details about the new SLA and information to help you reduce your costs."
As a lifeguard, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Arm-floats are blatantly dangerous, and should never be used. If they don't fit exactly the way the manufacturer planned, they run the risk of pinning a kid's face in the water, and even under ideal conditions provide minimal safety while providing a false perception of safety.

The only buoancy aids that should ever be worn are Coast Guard approved PFDs. Anything else does more harm than good.
I've edited the sub-title (that I added) from "no COVID-19 drug or vaccine in the short term" to "no drug or vaccine will avoid a very big coronavirus epidemic." The author or magazine nailed their colours to the mast with the title "Get Real," so I think that should stay in the title. Lowe doesn't use "COVID-19" or "SARS-CoV-2" or "nCov" in the article so I've used "coronavirus epidemic."

I did not expect the title detract from the discussion to the extent that it has, sorry.
Just want to be clear on this point:

> I can contribute $6k for 2020, and the total I can hold in TFSA is $69,500

As of 2020, the total you can contribute into a TFSA over your lifetime is $69500. But it's not a limit of what can exist in your account. Gains you make in the account do not count toward your limit.

I find the act of creating the card is part of the process of memorizing and internalizing the fact. I agree with others here that using Anki can be a real chore sometimes; one has to devote a chunk of time just learning how to use Anki.

With more and more use, using Anki becomes second nature like with any application.

I got the most out of Anki after watching videos; this one in particular opened doors for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwcr25334J8&t=99s

It can't already be confirmed if the labtest is not completed yet. It sounds like you still misunderstood the nurse.

They're doing a labtest for Coronavirus because she's been in contact with a nurse who's been in contact with a Coronavirus patient. It is just standard protocol to get tested in that case.
I'm using it for language learning where Anki is commonly mentioned. I didn't see the value in Anki until I started adding a couple hundred of my own cards. There's this annoying grind at the beginning but then it gets much better. I don't know a single product that is just so essential for an activity other than Anki.
