How robust is this? Remember that time when Clinton and Trump's debates were reenacted by gender-swapped actors?

> “When a woman says it, it doesn’t sound as crazy,” said Maria Guadalupe, a professor at France’s INSEAD Business school and a co-creator with Joe Salvatore, clinical associate professor of educational theatre at New York University’s Steinhardt School, of the play.

Hmmm.

Is your conclusion based on actors reading off lines, or real life tone policing?

Maybe if it's a "natural experiment" it could be that women know they'll be held to a more tolerant standard (by most people) so they can get away with being a bit ruder. Or maybe they don't know the standard is more tolerant for women (they might even think they're being oppressed) but know where the line is where a crowd will turn against them (like most people do), and that line happens to allow them to be a little ruder.
You may have something there. I went looking for the HN comments on Dabblers and Blowhards [1] (which, IMHO, is even more egregiously sanctimonious than Rachel's essay), but the top comment there was responding to content rather than tone. Only the 3 bottom-most comments remarked on tone.

I don't consider Linus Torvalds that vitriolic, BTW. Most of the time when he's angry he's trying to make a point. I think of Erik Naggum [2] or Poul Henning-Kemp when it comes to real vitriol on the Internet.

> This is an extreme overreaction for a disease which is only fatal to the elderly

I find this an incredibly offensive thing to say. This is unempathetic to an insane degree. I hope when you're elderly people treat you with more respect than you treat others with.

Beyond that, it's incorrect. There are fatalities in younger age groups, just at a much lower rate. Once ICU and ventilators are exhausted, the fatalities in all age brackets (except children) does go up.
Now i find the opposite situation happening and more difficult/ expensive to solve, that is leaving the keys outside the car and driving away without them.

What? The entire reason the subthread you’re participating in exists is because the person who started it believes that giving the public notice in advance is a mistake that fundamentally defeats the purpose of a quarantine. In other words, it’s a terrible and harmful idea. But I guess you’re saying it’s the quarantines themselves that are terrible and harmful because they hurt the precious feelings of individuals who want to be free to leave?
It seems to be a complaint against doing process-per-CPU.

Let's say your server has 4 CPUs. The conservative option is to limit yourself to 4 requests at a time. But for most web applications, requests use tiny bursts of CPU in between longer spans of I/O, so your CPUs will be mostly idle.

Let's say we want to make better use of our CPUs and accept 40 requests at a time. Some environments (Java, Go, etc) allow any of the 40 requests to run on any of the CPUs. A request will have to wait only if 4+ of the 40 requests currently need to do CPU work.

Some environments (Node, Python, Ruby) allow a process to only use a single CPU at a time (roughly). You could run 40 processes, but that uses a lot of memory. The standard alternative is to do process-per-CPU; for this example we might run 4 processes and give each process 10 concurrent requests.

But now requests will have to wait if more than 1 of the 10 requests in its process needs to do CPU work. This has a higher probability of happening than "4+ out of 40". That's why this setup will result in higher latency.

And there's a bunch more to it. For example, it's slightly more expensive (for cache/NUMA reasons) for a request to switch from one CPU to another, so some high-performance frameworks intentionally pin requests to CPUs, e.g. Nginx, Seastar. A "work-stealing" scheduler tries to strike a balance: requests are pinned to CPUs, but if a CPU is idle it can "steal" a request from another CPU.

The starvation/timeout problem described in the post is strictly more likely to happen in process-per-CPU, sure. But for a ton of web app workloads, the odds of it happening are low, and there are things you can do to improve the situation.

The post also talks about Gunicorn accepting connections inefficiently and that should probably be fixed, but that space has very similar tradeoffs <https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-sad-state-of-linux-socket-ba....

Rex State – A tiny state management tool for React
I think the GP asked which actions by Israel show that it is an ally of the US, so the first point seems absolutely irrelevant. Btw, the Soviet Union had an equal role fighting Germany in WW2, liberated Auschwitz and was the first country to recognise Israel. Is Israel a special ally of Russia? No.

The second point is also totally irrelevant: the other best ally of the US in the region, Saudi Arabia, is an absolute monarchy. The US never had a problem overthrowing democratic governments to replace them with dictatorships or supporting ferocious dictators as long as they advanced its goals. This talk of democracy as a value to support is just spin to justify attacking some countries, when it suits.

The third point is also irrelevant: Israel receives almost $4 billion is military aid from the US- this proves that the US is an ally of Israel, but again, is Israel an ally of the US?

The fourth point is the only one that barely holds. Yes, the Israeli intelligence cooperates with the US (but also spies on the US at the highest levels: see for example [1]- something that should have been a huge scandal and received almost zero reporting). But one wonders how much of Israeli intelligence helps solving problems that Israel itself has created or that are relevant to the US only because Israel is in the area.

Where did you get "rich people" from..?
And copper pots!

Funny thing this article doesn't really talk about REALLY expensive knives. Just "Mall Fancy" (gatekeeper's delight: if you can buy it in a mall, it's not 'real' bling.) There's a custom knife store I visited in Portland last year that goes up to $3k for handmade knives.

Expensive knives are silly. $49 Victorinox is probably one of the best knives out there unless you're a sushi chef according to just about every review. I have one, it's great. Better than my Shyun for the price and easier to put on edge on.

But don't take my anecdote for it: go talk to a chef and ask what kind of knives they use. Know what the answer will be? In most restaurants they are from Sysco. Source: friends that work back of the house.
People I know (outside Hubei) in the megacities are already back in office (cautiously). The management felt confident enough to also request the expats to fly back and join (most had left before CNY which is when this started blowing up). So I'd say not just working but close to back on track.

Same with Singapore, due to the close family and business connections to China, there was a flurry of early cases but rapid contact tracing and quarantine has slowed the spread.

Yeah signin with Apple works on the web if I recall form the keynote but I think a developer offering a way to switch linked accounts makes sense.

I think Apple offering a eco system is interesting though but seems to create lock-ins. Like if you have a Apple Watch, can’t switch to Android as easily either. Then texting or calling from your Mac using your iPhone is also cool but another hurtle if you ever wanted to switch if you really liked that feature.

Yes, though that doesn't mean it is necessarily the code's fault.

Honestly, I was very confused by this article, because I thought everyone understood what was going on, the trade-offs involved, and how that ought to impact your design decisions.

It's not that Gevent'd Gunicorn is intrinsically a bad thing. You're going for cooperative multi-tasking/concurrency, so no preemptive multi-tasking support. This creates potential challenges with fair scheduling if you have real-time constraints like timeouts... so you design accordingly.

One of the advantages of this model is you do indeed need less memory (and often a little less CPU) to handle high load levels. It's not like you are intrinsically better off if you use Python in a forking model. You can still end up so CPU bound that you timeout handling requests... the only difference is you'll get fairer splitting of the CPU's time across tasks. It can actually get worse if you get lost in an infinite series of context switches (yes, there are ways to mitigate this problem... although they can create fair scheduling problems... it's a natural tension), or worse still, start swapping.

If the notion that running out of CPU might mean you have timeouts hasn't occurred to you...

How so? I doubt it. That sounds like a terrible life, with no enjoyment in it of any kind. A life worth living doesn't build itself! Really sounds like you are torturing yourself. Being very mean to yourself. It's easy to do - we aren't taught that you are someone in your life you have to be kind to, the most important person in fact, as it's virtually impossible to love others while being so mean to yourself. I had to learn about loving myself. Treat yourself like you would treat someone you really love.

Imagine someone you really really love, then you forcing them to live how you are living. Doing a job they hate, no friends or family visits, not involved in anything, no joy or pleasure in life.. It would be obvious that it's a very cruel way to treat someone, amounting to torture. People don't enjoy those things, or being deprived of so many things. What things do people enjoy? Imagine a rich, fulfilling life, and work on giving that to the person you love - yourself.

Self-help books helped me a lot with this stuff. They're the main thing that helped, I guess, apart from being directly inspired by other people and inspiring books. Everyone has their own favourites, but some that helped me - SARK's first half-dozen books, Paul Kurtz Exuberance, Carol Lloyd Creating a Life Worth Living, Joanna Field/Marion Milner's books starting with A Life of One's Own, Richard Bach books, Austin Kleon books, Zen and the Art of Making a Living, Tristine Rainer The New Diary, Ben Zander The Art of Possibility, Gracian's The Art of Wordly Wisdom. Montaigne. Plutarch. Emerson. Susan Faludi's Stiffed may help you understand yourself, your world, your work, your life better than any of these. Good luck!

I do not agree or disagree but I have thought that what strategy the Chinese have in mind.

They took very hard measures to contain the virus inside China but they did not close the borders to not let it spread out of the China.

Do they plan to close the borders now to keep the virus out of China as this would be politically more acceptable for them?

Because if there is pandemic then also they should be expected to have it again, or they will use some measures to keep it happening?

The Victorinox Fibrox has been a popular pick (and rhetorical tool for debunking Veblen knives) for years because Cooks Illustrated championed it, but it underperforms in tests and, in particular, has an apparently bad factory edge --- you could correct that, but I doubt many owners really do.

I think the Fibrox still works as a rhetorical tool. It's true that most people would be just as happy with a $50 Fibrox as they would be with an expensive Shun. But it's not the case that the Fibrox holds up well in serious tests against other knives.

The flip side of professional kitchens getting their knives from services is that they're also constantly refreshed with new sharp blades (the service takes the dulled blades back and replaces them with new ones), which is something that isn't true for home cooks. I wouldn't read too much into that.

Guarantee is a strong term. If you have an infinite number of processes to running, there aren't guarantees on how long until it is scheduled.

Similarly, with cooperative multi-tasking as in Gevent, you can manipulate scheduling to try to provide better guarantees about wait times. It's just... you can't ignore the problem.

If you shift the curves over and account for population, Italy's actually about a week behind China in locking things down.

The sad thing is that even after locking everything down, you expect case numbers to continue to rise by ~100x (which is what happened in Hubei), as people get past the incubation period, infect the people they're living with, medical workers fall sick, and so on. So the only right time to impose a lockdown is before it looks like a problem at all, which is politically impossible to pull off.

When the SHTF (pun intended) things to be shipped will be ranked in priority according to the cost-effectiveness of its transport.

Obviously, scarce transport will be used to ship high-value, low-physical-volume things rather than low-value, high-physical-volume things.

Gold is the definitive high-value, low-physical-volume item.

Toilet paper is the definitive low-value, high-physical-volume thing. As such it sits very low in the scale of transport priority. Consequently, it becomes one of the first items to run-out when a crisis hits.

However, most families would normally keep several weeks' worth of toilet-paper on hand. So the current run on toilet-paper is, in my humble opinion, a waste of time, angst and money.
