2) needs a very key caveat. When you have access to medical care and are under 60 years old, mortality is very low. Even if you're old, access to medical care lowers mortality to less than the oft quoted 2% rate.

The issue is that mortality climbs rapidly for all age buckets if you don't have access to medical care. If and when the medical system buckles under load, things get dark very fast.

I don't think the discovery was required to be ET. I think that if the blip your system discovered was anything significant (pulsar or something), you'd get the credit. It was after all your machine and electricity that you paid for to do the discovery. It was the precursor to crypto proof of work.

I think I’ll use your comments as a response next time someone calls me out in a code review or says I deployed a bug. Specifically the polynomial exponentially complicated bits.

The look on their faces would be priceless. And they would forever think I’m a jerk... since they wouldn’t get the sarcasm lol.
Haven't seen the channel but it's likely that there's other filters that we don't fully understand yet facing us in the future that prevents aliens from creating dyson swarms.

Because I'm an eternal optimist I tend to think of these filters as very positive, things like finding alternative sources of energy to stars, or reclusing themselves in some VR utopia.
I doubt software engineering is engineering discipline. At least not the way we are doing it now. We are not engineers, we are craftsmen. It is a miracle that the software that drives the world more or less works. So far there hasn't been any major catastrophe due to software but it will happen. Software sucks.
At least on macOS, if you don't like a particular combination, you can reassign it — for any or all application(s).

Also, what stops you right-clicking (or in Apple parlance, secondary clicking) on macOS? Context menus are plentiful, either by:
- Holding Ctrl and clicking with the primary mouse button
- On the Mighty Mouse and Magic Mouse, enabling secondary click in System Preferences
- On the Magic Trackpad, enabling secondary click as either a click in one of the lower corners or two-finger tap in System Preferences

I may or may not be using a Mac at some point during the day (because Apple forces me to, to do iOS development), but usually whether my host is Windows or Mac, I have 3~8 Linux VMs running at any particular time.

Now, I will use SublimeText, instead of vi, from time-to-time (not often), but I don't think I am out of the mainstream...

BTW: I up-voted you because I think you have a point worth discussing, and that's hard to do when you are down-voted to hell, even if I don't agree with you...
Great stuff! Hope to read the book soon Grec! This really made me happy :) was meant to travel through a few African countries but wasted the past 8 weeks, on interviews, doing stupid technical tests, just wasting time of my life that I'll never get back because of some pretentious people. And could've travelled instead.

This happened to us at Hustle years ago. Basically if you run on AWS there’s a DNS server provided inside each VPC that usually works fine but which has no observable load metrics etc... so you don’t really know you are slamming it and are about to have a problem unless you audit your entire codebase.

Why? Well that tiny DNS server has certain capacity constraints and if you don’t cache DNS lookups by using a http/https agent for example (in NodeJS) you wind up looking up the same dns info over and over and churning sockets like it’s going out of style. If you run really really hot the poor thing falls over (rightly so).

The limits are high and DNS is fast so you usually don’t notice but when you are under load bugs like this come out of the woodwork. When it falls down you look up the AWS docs, lean back in your chair upon finding this isn’t an “elastic” part of AWS and say “FUUUUUUUUCK” so loud it can be heard from outer space.

If you are Robinhood though don’t you have some former Netflix SRE/DevOps beast on staff that knows this and so you run your own DNS and monitor it?
Still silence on the traders who lost tens of thousands of dollars? Are they going to be compensating or not?

This blog post doesn't appear to say anything. It's not an apology, it's not an explanation, it doesn't say what they're going to do in response.

This is after the incident in which there was no status updates or support availability for multiple hours of time. Why can't they commit to updates every hour or every 30 minutes?

Robinhood isn't a bitcoin company. That's just a feature they have. Its main product offering is the commision free trading--and their presence pushed a lot of big players to adopt the same offering. The wallstreetbets gang is silly and all, but I think they have really democratized stock trading, and made the whole idea seem much more accesible. I think they founders are former finance guys. I hope this doesn't sound like guerilla marketing. I don't even use the app, I have used it but I'm just not that interested in picking stocks. I just think it's cool as an ex-code monkey to entreprenur story.

I've been reading about ES2020 new features but most articles just show the basic usage without going into details. I've decided to go through the spec and take notes for my future self.

I've covered the problem it solves, the platform support, and the usage examples.
There are systems on the market that are not too complicated. We have an iGrow system for instance for our greenhouse.

But yes, the covers do tend to snag and such when rolling up and that can be problematic and require maintenance. Definitely though the industry does not seem to have yet embraced automation much.

I swung by the Atrium booth at the Startup Grind conference a few weeks ago. A former lawyer, I was curious to hear their pitch. It was basically: we get you cheap lawyers, and we help them find new clients.

I asked if all of their lawyers are based in the US, and they couldn't give me a straight answer. Eventually, when I said "well, of course they must all be US-licensed lawyers, right?" they said "oh, yeah, they must all be in the US then."

It was not a confidence-inspiring conversation, and I can't say I'm surprised that they're shutting down.
This is great advice for an established founder, which might be why it's simultaneously one of the most damning reasons to avoid working for one.
I believe that these kinds of applications are central goals of the 5G deployment project.

This can already be done with ordinary WiFI hardware. Here is one of multiple papers about it:

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5713643/

How much easier will "device free localization and identification" be with 5G's higher frequencies and beamforming antenna arrays?

Consider, why else would people be writing papers like these?

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6929065/

- https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337698696_WiFreeze_...

- https://www.5gitaly.eu/2018/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5G-It...

- https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/3324320.3324370

- https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7947692

I don't like the way 5G is pitched to the public. It feels icky. All the marketing is like "this will change the world and bring internet to rural areas plus you'll be able to watch netflix on your phone omg can you believe that!"

But in a few years they'll suddenly be saying "Awe golly shucks whaddya know, who knew 5G radios can also be used to spy on your aging parents breathing habits... how convenient! Now we can send an ambulance before you even call!" etc.
1. Proof costs. Like, a lot. If you don't need the reliability, why would you pay for it?

2. How much reliability is needed? Not 100% (usually). If my OS crashes, I'm unhappy. If the OS on my company's production server crashes, that's a lot worse. But our production server is actually a redundant cluster, so if one machine crashes, people are unhappy, but nothing horrible happens. (In point 1, I talked about the cost of proven-to-be-perfect software. Needing to have a redundant cluster is part of the cost of not having perfect software, which also must be considered. But because the hardware isn't 100% reliable either, we needed a redundant cluster anyway...)

3. Formal methods are often playing catch-up. Now we have to worry about timing side-channel attacks through the cache. There may now be formal methods to prove that such things are not possible in a piece of software; I'm pretty sure there were not such formal methods five years ago. We keep finding new areas that can fail. (One advocate of formal methods replied to me some weeks ago that formal methods proved that the software would never do anything that it wasn't specified to do. I doubt that claim with respect to something like side-channel attacks. Even if it's true, though, I suspect that often the specification didn't include "no side channel attacks" until certain recent events brought it to more popular attention.)

Proofs are therefore suffering from a double whammy: Not only are they painfully difficult and expensive, but they're incomplete. When something comes up that wasn't covered by the proof of correctness, you now need to fix it. And then you have to re-run all the proofs all over again, because your fix may have invalidated them.

4. All proofs have to start somewhere, usually with a formal specification. If the specification is wrong (looking at you, MCAS), all the formal proofs in the world won't save you. (Well... a system-level formal proof might. But that's even harder and more expensive. And even that fails if the system spec is flawed.)

TL;DR: Real proofs are too expensive for the benefit they provide, in almost all cases. The cost-benefit just isn't there. Hope lies in making them easier and more automated to use (better type systems, for example).
I once overclocked one with a pencil. Just connected the solder points between some leads on the CPU package.
I bought some of these dedicated wave length LED grow lights once winter. The color is so off-putting that I built a grow tent around them. Event the cats quit using that part of the house before I made the tent. However, the plants sure loved them. I had a couple of potted citrus trees that started blossoming after a couple of weeks inside under these lights. The house smelled amazing. Wasn't worth the loss of square footage in the house though.
> Can you show me where I claimed Apple made such a denial?

Here you write that gaslighted (denied) customers regarding the battery's impact on performance.

> If consumers were aware that their phones were actually suffering from degraded performance due to a design failure by Apple, instead of being gaslighted into believing that their phones simply seemed slower because they were older, they might have switched away from Apple.

> Or maybe explain why you think such a denial is in any way relevant?

Because such a claim is counterfactual.

> They saw that battery life was causing problems in their phones, and they quietly band-aided the problem without informing users. If I kill someone and bury them in the back yard, and then get caught years later, I hope you'll jump to my defense with the line "Can you show me where he denied killing that guy?!"

This is a comparison so far fetched that I'm dubious it's even made in good faith. Throttling clock speeds when voltages are insufficient is something that many, perhaps even most, electronics do. Because the alternative a device that crashes. Slow is strictly better than non-functional.

> Obviously silently masking battery life issues without telling anyone is... well... masking the fact that your product suffers from battery life issues.

Yes, in the same way that literally every car company "silently masks" that their cars' power will degrade over time. The same way that realtors "silently mask" that a house's paint will fade or that its pipes will rust. Products degrade over time. Obviously, companies don't deliberately advertise this fact. But unless they're actually denying that this degradation will happen, they're not masking anything.
I see business services companies build tools in their vertical industry and become successful all of the time. You just can't take venture funding.
Not according to the linked blog post.
> I think they have really democratized stock trading

I would think Vanguard did that already. Most people should be trading ETFs, not individual stocks.
Virus can penetrate through eyes, nose and mouse; but not skin. Adding that bit of a detail is important. "Oh I didn't touch my face, but I licked my fingers".
Careful with that line of justification. Although your intentions are different, expats (and colonists) have been able to use similar justifications in the past to rationalize rape and slavery in a foreign land under a different legal framework where the victims can’t exactly contact the police and ask for help.

This is why we have human rights.

Now, it is true that these hacking victims (the call center) can’t exactly call the police. I mean they can, but they’d just end up volunteering to go to prison (or whatever the reprimand is for their own crimes). Still, they do operate under the same legal framework as all the law abiding people in India.

> Georgia is putting DST on the ballot this November. Voters will have a choice to stay with DST, going to standard time year around, or asking Congress for permission to stay on DST year around.

At least Georgia is far enough south that year around DST might not have any serious negatives. There are people trying to do that here in Washington which is far enough north that it has serious negatives.

Year around DST would put sunrise in the middle of winter at nearly 9 AM at Seattle's latitude, putting nearly everyone's morning commute deep in the dark.

Without DST in the winter, of course, the commute home is in the dark, but I'd argue that this is better for three reasons.

1. Evening dark is generally warmer than morning dark. There is less chance of ice on the roads. It will have been melted by sun or rain during the day, and won't reform until it gets cold again in the early morning.

2. The evening commute tends to be more spread out than the morning commute. Putting the morning commute in the dark combines the worst conditions with the highest density. Putting the evening commute in the dark instead combines the worst lighting with lower density so is probably safer.

3. The morning commute overlaps with children going to school. The evening commute is mostly after children are home.

Sunrise at 9 AM is also bad for our sleep cycles. Our cycles sync to sunrise. The earlier we have to get up relative to sunrise the less healthy it is. (This could be fixed under year round DST by having businesses open/close later in winter, so our commutes happen later, but then we are essentially where we are now except we do it by changing schedules twice a year instead of changing clocks).

Furthermore, in the middle of winter here DST would not really actually get you much, if any, extra usable daylight after work. By the time you get home and have dinner, it is still going to be getting dark. Feb 1 sunset this year was at 5:10 PM, for example. Year around DST would make that 6:10 PM.
I wonder why don't they use mirrors to reflect the light back at night time.

Metallized PETF film is strong enough, very lightweight, and not expensive, while reflecting, say, 95% of the light.

Could save them a lot in electric bills.
How is support for languages other than English?

I am especially thinking about Japanese. Our company could probably find good uses of such service if it had Japanese support.
O man I heard this on the radio and it gave me chills.
Working at a zombie company with very little chance of success isn't a great gig either. Shutting it down cleanly, paying decent severance, and letting the staff move on is a good move for them too.
> When going LED they only use ones with the wavelengths the plants actually use.

And those wavelengths are...everything except green. You can tell this because plants are green, because they reflect green light and absorb everything else. So an LED-lit greenhouse looks "anti-green", which is some kind of reddish purple. It's a bit more complicated than this in practice, but not much.
I feel like it was that and a bunch of other things that led to this
I wouldn't characterize this as 'China doing its best'. I think this step, as you put it, is chilling to the Chinese medical community. Why do they have to live under these conditions? Why should folks feel like they can't speak up about their condition in China without having to hide their identity?

This is still a good distance from the best in my view.
We may have the technology to create massive habitats in the near future, but what if we do not have the need.

Population is projected to plateau in the near future. What if those habitats exist but just are not observable since they are quite small compared to their stars / planets?

>It might look more pleasant, but it doesn't "solve" anything, only shifts it in a different place.

It shifts it right into your face. You're forced to do something instead of pretending that everything could be potentially null. Since the only places where you can actually encounter "null" are documented you are no longer wasting your brain cells on the happy path where you are guaranteed to never see a null value when you don't expect it. Instead you can free up all that cognitive capacity to actually write correct code that handles null values.
The one that hits me all the time is trying to reference the OpenGL and OpenGL ES spec pdfs. The last numbered section of the specs contain state tables in landscape layout vs the rest of the spec in portrait layout. Neither Chrome nor Firefox's readers search the text in these tables that I need to reference often.

The fact that text might be oriented different wasn't covered in the article. IIRC Preview on Mac might search there (not near my mac ATM to check)

...that's your problem with this headline?

As far as I can gather from reading the article, a fair headline would be "World's biggest meat company probably bought laundered cattle from a farmer who staunchly denies involvement in 'brutal massacre' in Amazon rainforest".

I'm opposed to turning the Amazon into a cattle farm, so if slandering people puts more pressure on these companies to clean up their act, so be it. I guess.

But the actual content of this article is garbage, so: saved y'all a click.

This. And salary ranges. Honestly. It is a big waste of resources for everyone involved to go through a hiring process only to discover there will be a mismatch during the different steps or in the end because not everything was disclosed upfront.

Many of us have been part of both sides of the process and we assume there is a necessary level of professionalism and transparency here. We also understand that companies and people have different requirements which is totally OK. Just an extra sentence or two with a relevant summary goes a long way and will speak highly of your company!
if we're talking about it in the context of widespread user adoption then yes. At least it's a large part of it.

It's not really helpful when people try to describe IRC as easy simply because it resembles text based paradigms that developers are familiar with.

COVID19 was not a surprise; that is, it was known to exist in China some time before the first cases appeared in the US. It is not unreasonable for a government to assemble a team to respond to something like a pandemic as needed, as opposed to having people dedicated solely to the purpose and nothing else. Both the NBC News and Washington Post articles the Snopes piece cites describe the action as part of moving people to related departments as part of the new National Security Advisor's desire to have his own hierarchy, and the head of the dedicated team resigning after not getting his desire to keep the team the way it was.

You may or may not agree with this. But please don't claim that this is somehow prima facie proof of the Trump administration's malfeasance/evilness.
