Yes. But for all of those you need to buy hardware that can actually play the games. (A few hundred for a console, a thousand for a PC). The promise of game streaming is that you can play AAA games on the low-powered laptop or phone that you already have.

There's a few possible business models for streaming. E.g. with PS Now you have to pay a subscription, you get access to a games library, and can only play the games that are part of the library. (Not other PS4 games that you own). Or GeForce Now which in practice requires a subscription (the free tier is only 1 hour at a time) and allows you to play a limited set of games as long as you own them on the right platform (e.g. Steam). Xcloud seems quite likely to just be sold bundled together as part of another subscription.

So the free tier of Stadia should have been interesting due to not requiring a large up-front investment, and not requiring an ongoing subscription. Which at least at this moment is unique. Or rather, would be unique, because 9 months after the announcement it still has not launched.
I feel like now is the time to take preventative measures like canceling large gatherings, crowd avoidance, etc. They’ll have more of an effect now than in two weeks.

I also don’t think this is a panicked view point.

To me, if we wait until it’s obvious we need to take steps, we’ll have wasted a lot of firepower, so to speak.
I'm sure this will happen, but I'm also sure the major PyPI packages will stop supporting Python 2, so you'll be running old versions of those, with no feature and security updates.
> which is crazy because there's no cost if you don't raise one

This is just false in the general case. The presence (potential or actual) of exceptions often just serves as an optimization barrier in current compilers. That's not to even invoke bizarre but not infrequent issues like this [1]. I too have had codebases that miraculously sped up upon disabling exceptions despite not throwing anything. Identifying the exact causes of these situations is hard and typically not done, because it's far easier to just add a compiler switch and pretend there are no exceptions in C++ and get back to work.

Many people in performance sensitive domains just don't find it remotely worthwhile to care about features that have these sorts of difficult to predict and debug costs. When your workflow already consists of writing highly explicit, simple to reason about code that you frequently inspect in disassembled form, exceptions (and RTTI for a host of obvious reasons) are the last thing you'd want to enable. At best it's just extraneous noise in the assembly, at worst you take a sizable perf hit and have no idea why.

The point is not that all information must flow via some authority and be approved for release. It’s that there is a competent authority also speaking to the public. We haven’t had that in the USA, and are only now seeing states stepping into that role and getting up to speed.

Guarantee this information is being taken seriously by the WA department of health. The Seattle flu study isn’t some joke, it’s a real scientific research group at Fred Hutch and UW.
One of my favorite(only?) bits of sci-fi/food-engineering trivia is that Gene Wolfe (The Book of the New Sun) was the mechanical engineer who developed the machine that cooked the first Pringles chips:

Part of the fault is on the customers who are putting their data into what is essentially a publicly-available Redis provided by accident, instead of paying for the real, private Redis.

I wouldn't blame the hosting provider alone unless they explicitly marketed that shared Redis as something being available. Presumably it's just there because of a misconfiguration and since it doesn't hurt anyone nobody noticed or bothered to turn it off.
with high insulin, doing this nearly guarantees that your body will pull the calories from muscle tissue, versus pulling them from fat. So you can end up sabotaging your efforts.
I have always mentored more junior folks to consider every key stroke on company property to be viewed in the most unfavorable light and to be subsequently "owned" by the company.
From what I understand, 100 calories of bacon and 100 calories of sugar is the same. Though there are other compounds in those that may trigger effects in your body.

That said, how calories are measured is from an average approximation. It is true that different people may yield slightly more or less calories from the same foods. Calories are what your body extracts from the food post digestion.

That said, I've never seen strong indicators that the maximum and minimum are that far apart. So it could be that you are a huge outlier and your body extracts way more calories from food A then the average person, or way less. But I think those chances are slim, that is, for you to be such an outlier.
So, yes and no. That's why I said "primarily." It's wayyyyy more complicated than calories-in vs calories-out. But 90% of it does come down to that. More importantly though, you need to define what "calories-in" means.

I like to think of a silly extreme. If I drink a gallon of gasoline, I've technically consumed what, a billion calories? But I won't gain a single gram.[1] Why? There's no metabolic pathway to convert gasoline to ATP.

If you take that silly example and moderate it, you can see how different factors, including genetics, gut flora, adaptation, etc could affect what is even processed and thus part of the "in" variable.

More concrete, well known examples:

- If you consume 5000 calories of just protein, the metabolic pathway to convert to lipids is extremely inefficient. You will mostly excrete the excess.
- Similar with pure ethanol. If you drank just alcohol (and nothing else), there is no metabolic pathway to convert this to fat.
- Even carbs. If you just ate 5000 calories of pure carbs, de novo lipogenesis (metabolic pathway for carbs -> fat) is rather inefficient. You will gain weight but less than the 5000 - expenditure. A lot of it is burnt off as heat.
- Sadly, for ketoers: the dietary fat to lipid pathway is extremely efficient. Almost 90% of excess will be stored as fat.[2]

See a pattern here? The reality of the typical diet is that we don't just eat one macronutrient. We mix them. And specific ratios are what make food hyper palatable and thus so easy to overeat. Once you start mixing things up, it basically - and I mean basically - comes down to calories in vs calories out.

[1] In fact, I would likely die.
[2] As another commenter mentioned, there was one guy who just ate fat and well in excess of his BMR and apparently lost weight. I'm skeptical, but could believe it simply because it follows the trend: consuming just one can "bend" the rules.

Not scientists; engineers. From the beginning essentially all enthusiasm for the idea has been driven by engineers.

Warp drive is a case where the usual relationship between physicists and engineers is flipped: we physicists have always agreed that warp drive is possible in theory, but basically impossible to realize in practice. Yet it's the engineers who are interested in it!

Derailing the thread, I took my first flight, age 18, in 2001. I was into carrying lots of tools on my belt / in my pockets back then, so carried on a pair of pliers, crescent wrench, flat head and phillips screwdrivers, a Swiss Army knife, a penknife, about six feet of baling wire, and lord knows what else. Dumped it all into the little round change tray, sent it through the X-ray machine, and re-pocketed it on the other side.

Those were the days.
Give it 5 years and xbox and playstation will have their equivalent cloud offerings, but far more refined and with their expansive and ever growing catalogs.

Deep learning model for detecting Covid 2019 pneumonia on computed tomography
I am aware. It is typically represented as Z_5. They are called prime fields.

I highly doubt wsxcde meant prime fields in their comment though. wsxcde seemed to be talking about the set of all integers and the set of all real numbers in their comment. Only the latter is a field (and a ring) whereas the former is only a ring.

And (-a)(-b) = ab holds in rings (and thus fields).
If everything that exists is conscious, then consciousness ceases to be a useful concept and becomes nothing more than a synonym for existence. The concept of consciousness is only useful to distinguish things that are conscious from things that are not. Humans and apes are conscious. Rocks and individual neurons are not. One can have a legitimate debate about the status of computers, great apes, dogs, rats, perhaps even fruit flies, but not rocks, transistors, or individual neurons.
Current risk for healthy adults appears to be 0.1-0.2% which is comparable to a bad flu season while the chance of getting infected is lower by several magnitudes given how relatively few numbers of cases there are even if you assume there's a lot of asymptomatic cases.

Dettol and other hand sanitizers sold out completely here in large (chain) supermarkets, checked 3 of them. That's just one small town though.
Compare Symbolics Genera to a Free Software Common Lisp development environment today (SBCL and SLIME on GNU Emacs). The latter does a lot less and is more bloated. Commercial Common Lisp compilers like Allegro and LispWorks have features and optimizations that Free Software compilers lack (Allegro has really good debugging tools and garbage collection, LispWorks has excellent support for concurrent programming).

Intel Fortran compiler and their C++ compiler produce the fastest code. Lucid Energize and IBM VisualAge C++ did incremental compilation and had IDE features not available with Free Software C++ compilers and editors/debuggers.

Azure AD may be a decent solution if you have people doing Office and other work all day long, not when you have manufacturing plants across the world in places with poor Internet connections, SCADA and continuity plans that don't involve reliable Internet. If you need that, the complexity of having on premise AD and Azure AD is just cost with no benefits.
It affects consumers, though. Closed platforms work against consumers' interest way too often.

You can force multinational corporations to do things by not allowing them into your own market if they don’t follow certain rules. The US does it all the time, so does Europe.

The premise was that basic automated testing by some other team at Google (to whom the HSM is a black box) would catch this. I don't see how that's obvious. Then you're all 'but fuzzing!' and I'm like 'wat' and now you're asking me if I know you can set the clock on the HSM? I don't think I know that. It's a black box.
I do care. I just care less about openness than convenience notice the "IF it doesn't stream...". Given two systems that work equally well, I'd pick the open one. That's rarely the case though. So I pick the polished one. I think this goes for most consumers.
In the thought experiment, I don't think the user is told beforehand what the image is.

there would be an upper concentration of ACE2 receptor per unit of cell membrane that would elicit increased probability of receptor and viral peplomer interaction. once that concentration is reached, further increase of the docking probability would not occur.

there is a dynamic here as the virus, in sufficient titre encounters the receptor, binds enters the cell and typically disrupts normal translatory events in the cytoplasm.

the effect is to exclude further infection of the cell with increased copy number of virions, thus replication occurs instead of immediate cell apoptosis
Haha, first thing I thought of as well.
This. It's essentially "hey, I can see other users' data in /tmp". Don't write to public directories if you care about privacy.

I don't know why they'd offer a publicly accessible redis other than for testing maybe, but if they communicate it, it's on the user.

You’re correct there’s not a lot to be done for the virus itself - in that situation, care tends to become about protecting the various organs suffering in the process, to get the patient through it.

For example: a patient presents with acute respiratory distress and sepsis due to the flu, covid, whatever. The fluid in the lungs will be creating a burden on the heart; the general inflammation will be pissing off everything, including making blood vessels both leaky and dilated.

The burdened heart is now prone to being overtaxed. With leaky vessels, it’s also prone to being under supplied. And oxygen isn’t coming across the lungs well. A mismatch between its blood/oxygen supply and demands causes what’s called a demand ischemia - you can think of it as a kind of heart attack. This further weakens the heart.

This shortage of both supplied blood, and oxygen in the blood, plus systemic inflammation, can hit every other organ: kidney, liver, gut, etc.

This is where you can start to see some shock liver kick in. Which means one of our core mechanisms for metabolizing drugs (and everything else) is telling us to fuck off.

The same shock effect can hit kidneys. Reduced perfusion not only hurts kidneys, but means waste dumping into urine is being decreased, or not happening. We try to prop up kidney function. We also add fluids to try and increase perfusion (but if we have had an ischemia, the same bulk of fluid that is needed to maintain perfusion pressure can also act as a burden on a weakened heart.)

If the gut goes significantly ischemic, it can die. Even if it doesn’t die, local inflammation and reduced food intake can make it leaky. You’re not necessarily seeding bacteria into the blood that way (studies of pancreatitis w associated sepsis suggest that’s not a major contributor), but the gut associated lymphoid tissue is definitely going to be kicking into high gear and promoting our inflammation storm even more.

So, we try to carefully maintain perfusion, which involves monitoring and calibrating our support for heart, kidney, lung, etc. in an ongoing and dynamic fashion. And not uncommonly, besting down infections that develop along the way, because a bunch of plastic in the body is a badness.

I don’t work much in the ICU, so if I’ve misrepresented something and we have an intensivist on hand, I defer to them.

It does state what it does, but people rarely read documentations, and unlike static languages, Python doesn't force you to deal with the exception. And since it's a very rare problem, most people don't catch the bug.

OS X has some behavior that honestly gets into my way when I’m swapping back and forth between editing and doing command line work, but has a benefit when doing front-end work.

Put the browser on screen two. Put your IDE and Dev tools on the main monitor. You aren’t really going to operate your IDE and the dev tools at exactly the same time. So you can write your code, flip to the browser, test and inspect your changes, and flip back when it doesn’t work.

I have two monitors and my laptop screen, which is really 2.5 monitors. Since I upgraded one of the screens to a 27 inch, the real estate difference between that monitor and my laptop is so stark that I resist using the laptop screen at all. I really only use all three in a handful of situations.

Screen juggling gets non-trivial when the work I’m doing involves command line tools with behavior showing up in a UI - either our UI, or our infrastructure (eg, modifying a build script that is breaking only in CI).

Occasionally I have to keep a semi-active eye on our production stats while also progressing on other work. But only about 10% of the people in our program have to do that work, and we tend to tag team. I could almost do that work by bringing a tablet into the mix.

But even still, the third screen would barely be necessary if I wasn’t taking little breaks all the time to do other work, like research, or to blow off steam on HN. My windows begin to get mixed up and hunting the right one down gets more complicated.

Since threads like these are always filled will praise about the book, I started reading it and was quite excited about it.

The book is excellent, but the target audience it is written for won't read it today. It is written for people that pretty much have never programmed anything before. For someone that is knowledgeable of computing in general, or programming and possibly even already have a vague idea of what AWK is, it becomes very verbose.

I get it, it is a cool way to at the learn some history and the context of which it was created. But if the sole goal is to quickly learn AWK I feel that it is quite ineffective and it becomes hard to focus when there is so little relevant content.

I lost focus and didn't finish.

I would like to pick it up again in a less stressful time. The thing that holds me back is that I'm not sure I will get enough use of it to be able to remember it. It might be a simple language but it is very different from anything that at least I use today, and if I have to relearn it every other time I use it then there isn't much point to it.
