I think the reason why people dismiss this is that they are either stupid (including intentional ignorance) or scared (to even think about this).

And then you have to implement business directives with “the same date in 2025” in documents already signed by all parties (and no one got confused, except math guys). Replace is not a mistake, it just should state what it does, so that a programmer could test and use it.

React Native is still used widely at Facebook. It's never been abandoned. They abandoned HTML5, which is entirely different.
From what I remember the choices were NeWS and it only runs on Sun hardware, or X and it runs everywhere. Ultimately Sun no longer had enough advantages to compensate for their half compatibility, shipping incompatible ancient compilers and out of date libraries.
$1,000 in CPU is nothing when in one server you are spending $32,000 on RAM and even more on disks.

Plus, if I have 16 more cores I'm just going to buy even more of the two, sometimes I can't fit any more in the server so I can't increase my density if I wanted to.
In modern graphics applications (=games) people do try to reduce CPU-GPU communication, but it is still done a lot and is frequently a bottleneck. Increasing GPGPU work means CPU and GPU code communicate in both directions. Making it slower than it already is doesn't make sense from performance engineering POV unless there are some dramatic advantages from the tradeoff.

I get your point, but see it completely differently as GUI programmer. X was steaming pile of s*t. Its "longlevity" was spend cleaning up the mess.

Designers had this stupid idea to do drawing over remote connection, and produced broken design around that. Direct memory access, DRI, OpenGL, screen buffers... Non of that was part of X, but is vitally necessary for GUI.

There is no compatibility in X server design. Good luck running remote X session today. Everyone uses VNC.

We use the Markdown file method extensively at our company. see: https://github.com/dwyl?&q=learn
But just asking/reminding people to capture learning/knowledge in Markdown is not enough to ensure that it actually happens.
If the organisation does not have a learning and sharing culture at all levels having markdown files falls apart quite fast!

People first need to unlearn what they were taught in formal education. In school we are told not to share our homework with others and the mindset of individualism persists in most workplaces.
We need a way to measure and reward people for their contribution to the collective knowledge.
Worldwide, there were 2,979 deaths and 42,576 recovered. That math suggests you might have an extra decimal point there. There are many ways to do the math, but 0.7% is not really a sensible number to work from. General consensus hovers at 2-3%.

Aside from that, a much larger (as of yet unknown) number have permanent lung scarring. That's not a joke. Read about SARS and MERS long-term prognosis from similar scarring.

No. In any high-dimensional space (in this case the dimensions are features used by a given user), the vast majority of the elements will be outliers in at least one dimension. Everyone has idiosyncrasies. It is arrogant to assume that everyone is the same as oneself.
You get April 30. Idk about all libraries, but date-fns and few others I worked with do it right.

I think the "two theories" are meant to be machine learning and knowledge
representation and reasoning (KRR).

Knowledge representation and reasoning is one of the main fields of AI
research, on the same broad level as machine learning or robotics and with its
own journals and conferences (KR 2020 will be held in Rhodes, Greece in
September). It enjoys much less recognition than machine learning in software
development circles because it doesn't receive such broad coverage in the lay
press as machine learning does, but it's an active area of reserach. Google's
Knowledge Graph is probably the best known example of appplications of the
techniques that have originated in research from that field.

I don't really know why the author says that machine learning and KRR are "the
two main theories" in the field. Perhaps she has access to historical
information that I ignore. She says, a little earlier than the passage you
quote that "[AI] was started 70 years ago", which must mean the workshop at
Dartmouth College in 1956, where the term "Artificial Intelligence" was first
introduced (by John McCarthy, perhaps more recognisable as the creator of Lisp
to a programmer audience).

There's sure been many binarily-opposed "camps" in AI, like the symbolicists
vs the connectionists, or the "scruffies" vs the "neats" and so on. While I
recognise the "machine learning vs knowledge representation" as one of the
classic dichotomies, I don't really think it's such an ancient and fundamental
dichotomy as the interviewee makes it sound.

I wonder if the interviewee is mixing up the "ML vs KRR" distinction with a
more subtle distinction between different forms of machine learning. I'm
thinking of Alan Turing's original description of a "learning machine" from
the classic 1950 Mind paper ("Computing machinery and intelligence", where he
introduced the "imitation game"). Turing's learning machine would learn
incrementally, from a small original knowledge base and from human instruction
and from contact with the world, whereas today's machine learning tries to
learn everything from scratch, in an end-to-end, no-human-in-the-loop,
approach. This distinction, "incremental vs all-at-once learning" seems to fit
the interviewee's description of the "two main theories" better.

There's a paper, "The child machine vs the world brain", by the Australian AI
scientist Claud Sammut, that goes into some detail in this distinction, based
on Turing's paper and later developments in data mining and big data:

https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/The-Child-Machine-vs-t...

I recommend reading at least its introduction and then digging in to the
references if you're interested in the history of AI in general and machine
learning in particular and different ideas on those subjects that have been
explored and abandoned over the years.

As someone that works with both platforms since the early days.

It supports more platforms and implementations than CLR ever will, including bare metal deployments with real time GC.

Thanks to those implementations, there is a plethora of GC algorithms and JIT/AOT optimizations not yet available in CLR, like AVX-512 auto-vectorization, JIT code caches with PGO, tiered JIT compilation, real time GC, GC able to deal with multi-TB heaps with ms pauses, ...

If you want something like VisualVM or JFR, you need big pockets for Visual Studio Enterprise, and it still doesn't match in capabilities.

Naturally the CLR has other things going for it like having had NGEN since day one, value types, reiffed generics and designed from the get go to support multiple languages, including C++.

The situation outside of Hubei looks encouraging but the data appears to indicate that there is probably a threshold of patients (different for each country) from which the mortality starts to rise.

Reasons behind this might be either institutional or purely statistical that is it might be possible that each country can keep alive at least certain number of critical patients and starts to fail when certain number is exceeded and it is possible that smaller number of patients are not representative enough and do not contain high risk patients (elderly, people with other chronic illness etc).

Learning Firebase: Creating a Blog
While reading 'teh codez' can work for a (simple) app it will get you nowhere regarding the whole service architecture/infrastructure.

There can and will be several services/apps working together, external services required for some stuff, different set of configurations for different environments, CI/CD, software packaging, etc...

How we deal with it where I work - service developers/owners are responsible for providing docs for their services. Ops provide infra/CI/deployment/high level 'how all this works together' docs. Everything that can be code, should be code - with it's documentation. Of course there's issue tracker, wiki, commit messages all tied together using issue tracker IDs, etc.

And it still takes time for new people to get their heads around the 'how everything is working together'. Amount of docs we're writing is significant. Some of the docs is auto generated. Time for docs keeping is accounted for at estimating the time required for developing new features. Being a member of a remote team I can't imagine how we could be able to work otherwise.
Chiming in, absolutely not. My grandfather, excellent engineer, who was learning all his life (and still is) was getting a salary merely twice the level of low-skilled manual labourer (and not a high-skilled factory worker even).

Why I do(n't) write my notes in Markdown
They showed a strong unwillingness to declare the high state of emergency from the start, which dragged the numbers 30 fold through delayed action. They were the one institution with the moral authority to drive prevention (incentivising testing, the closure of air travel, etc). People act as if the only possible responses are complete inaction or panic. This is terribly misguided. Had the WHO declared high alert a month ago, it would have meant a whole month to take it all in, plan, condition your touch-your-face reflexes, rethink your lifestyle, etc. Maybe they didn't want to be the boy who cried wolf after SARS, MERS and H1N1 were declared global outbreaks and ended up not being full-blown pandemics. But now what? Is the watchdog scared to watch? They act as if Chinese numbers are trustworthy, and I can only guess that it's half political reasons, half delusion. The CCP has a history of under/misreporting catastrophe that should be factored in, at the very least as a warning label. With a mostly mild disease that spreads like wildfire there's bound to be huge visibility biases which were not taken into account, and then you end up with things like Italy where they don't even know how it spread.

Instead there's a discourse vacuum where people seem to decide what's going to happen more on the basis of pre-existing narratives than reality. Examples; People mistrust the US believed it's all exaggerated to hurt China, for a while some "journalists" wrote more about racism and stigma than the actual ongoing development, politicians kept ringing the everything's OK alarm, and finally, mindless optimists are the worst.

The Chinese government decided to establish an economy-crippling quarantine on January 23rd with only 1000 confirmed cases. Something was awry. And in the following week all the warning sings have been available (the quick spread, reports of CCP measures and life in Wuhan, research papers about the spread, incubation, etc). But for a month now the WHO refused to read the writing on the wall, only god knows why.
Yes, screencasts are good, and IMHO people who struggle with instructions seem much better at re-watching the difficult part until they are able to do it than they are keen to re-read a section until they get it right.

However it is often essential to have an alternative form (eg transcription or at least summary of steps) simply because of discoverability - even with brief screencasts it can be awkward finding the content otherwise.

I see a lot of responses here automatically assuming that capturing institutional knowledge is about code, but there's so much more of business processes than code that needs to be captured, even in a tech rich environment.

We run a private bug bounty (not via H1 but another platform), classical pentests, dynamic code assessment and a responsible disclosure program.

Pentests are ok, they help to scrap plenty of bugs. I am not a great fan otherwise because it is based on a fixed rate.

Private bb ended up fantastic. Great bugs, great researchers, reasonably good pay (not Apple grade but we paid some 30k€ irrc). Feedback from researchers was good, including unexpected public praise.

Dynamic code reviews are a mixed bag. Usually crap, sometimes hidden gems.

Responsible disclosure is a mixed bag too. It is very binary : 20% great from great researchers we usually invite to the private bounty afterwards, and 80% garbage. Oh man, the garbage. Often I do not even understand the submission (not being a native English speaker either).

One other problem with public programs are legal implications to pay an anonymous reporter (imagine a US company paying someone affiliated with NC or Iran or Daesh, and that info published in the press)
It looks to me that there is probably a threshold of patients (different for each country) from which the mortality starts to rise.

Reasons behind this might be either institutional or purely statistical that is it might be possible that each country can keep alive at least certain number of critical patients and starts to fail when certain number is exceeded and it is possible that smaller number of patients are not representative enough and do not contain high risk patients (elderly, people with other chronic illness etc).

If you look at the recent data then when number of patients approaches 100 then mortality (CFR) exceeds 2%. Only exception seems to be South-Korea. Diamond Princess is not representative because patients are now evacuated and counted under their countries statistics.

There are people with masks in Delhi airport, I was just there. Many are coughing, but it’s anyone’s guess if they have COVID-19.

DOS/4G and DOS/4GW FAQ: DMA Addressing
OP had claimed without context in the title (it seemed to have been editted now) that Asians had high predisposition to Covid-19 while Africans had low predisposition. From his comments it seems that OP's children are European. If someone in the same situation as OP had gone off from the title, they would've concluded that their children were safe because they were not Asian. This ignores the fact that according to the submission itself the eQLT variant associated with high production of ACE2 still makes up the majority in all populations including Europeans, meaning that their children are not safe as the title had suggested. This is the opposite of erring on the side of caution. One person in the comments has already concluded based of of the title that Covid-19 will not affect them because they are not Asian. This is dangerous.

> Increasing GPGPU work means CPU and GPU code communicate in both directions.

Only if you make the wrong abstractions. Using a shader based toolkit is not about increasing the GPGPU work but to use the GPU for things that it is intended to do namely drawing. And if you make the right abstractions you can severely reduce CPU-GPU communications. In fact a toolkit is exactly the perfect type of abstraction in that scenario. Most of the input is mouse and keyboard data and a bunch of drawing commands which means extremely low bandwidth, less CPU-GPU communication, more performance and faster applications. I'm not sure what you mean by "tradeoff". Look for example at the shaders of sahdertoy. For the most part the only data they receive from the CPU is a timestamp of the current frame and occasionally mouse and keyboard data which is in the worst case literally just a bunch of bytes per frame.
