Mostly irrelevant, because it’ll last longer than the lifetime of almost any ICE car.
In addition to that, people are distracted by the virus concerns, and so may be working at lower than 100% capacity regardless if it's from office or home.
People are always communicating passively. A communications expert, which I am not, will tell you that less than 20% of communication is the words from the mouth even in a face to face oral conversation. Think of communication in 3 layers:

* the words

* the voice

* body language

Truth only occurs when those three layers are in agreement. This means people are frequently untruthful and generally unaware of just how obvious their lack of candor is to somebody who listens well. Since you are usually not in full cognitive control over your voice and body language, and sometimes even over your words, most of your communication will be passive regardless of your intentions and level of control. It takes a higher state of awareness to be a good liar and that can really age a person.
Nope. I turn it off when I'll be away for a long time. But not if I'm just grabbing food or doing some housework or whatever.
Pretty easy to figure out. I had no issues. It's so common these days that we really are hitting exponential growth.
> If I get the virus, so what?

You end up passing it along to someone who’s not as fortunate as you, that’s what.

“Cancel everything” isn’t about saving you. It’s about saving all the people around you.
When you lose your only trusted device, then you would have to go through recovery methods, which is set by the website/app depending on what level of security they require.

For apps that prefer lower security, higher convenience, then possibly users can fall back to SMS OTP.
For apps that require higher security, the app can revoke the lost device and either delete the account, or go through customer support to verify the user's identity and enroll a new device.

If you have 2 trusted devices and lost one, you can revoke access from the lost device.

Incognito shouldn't affect this because the trusted device works in mobile apps, not websites.
The problem is, Walmart can't shut down. They're the only grocery/drug store left in a lot of smaller towns. People depend on them for necessities. They can shut down most of their departments, the non-essential ones, but they're gonna need the grocery and pharmacy sections to remain open.

I think if Oracle wins, the best thing that could happen is IBM immediately suing for infringment on SQL. And since Oracle built their whole business on the SQL standard, IBM should ask for an amount high enough that it's sure to bankrupt Oracle.

I believe that's a fair price to pay for breaking the software industry.
They could always ask the state to declare a quarantine and boot everyone out. Quarantine powers in an emergency are extremely broad.
Nope - I wash my hands. You want me to self-quarantine already? I'm not going to be afraid of 0.00001% of my state being infected.
Its all local. No cloud storage. The only time your tasks text leave your system is when sending email and at that time too it is never stored.

Even i have not configured any sort storage or database for this application. Just one email service in cloud.
Agree - I don't buy the automatic WFH productivity boost. Going to a coffee shop to work defeats the purpose of not working from the office and at my place, I don't have a dedicated office space. Add a kid, spouse, dog and a cat who it turns out has quite an interest in what it is I do and I've gotten almost nothing done in the last few days. My bathrooms are clean and yard space is finally cleaned though.
I mean, most companies don't allow regular WFH. Until this week Google didn't either.
Not going to fall for the panic. I'm fine, you're fine, relax.
Why didn't we design to standard format swappable battery? if nothing else, it would have made for faster "charging".
I think boost.org is the first place to stop. Boost is often used as a proving ground for future standard libs. The guideline support lib [0] is also another tool. ACE [1] is also another (older) framework that adds a lot. I try and avoid ACE, despite having contributed, there may still be value add, depending on your need.

I've also seen interesting things from Abseil and Folly.

>As I said, the God-of-the-gaps argument.

Whatever. I don't even know what you're talking about anymore.

>I find it funny that you're claiming institutional authority from an anonymous throwaway account. That's not quite how authority works. You cannot just say that you have it, you need to credibly signal it in a non-falsifiable way.

I actually can, and I did. I didn't come here to convince you - I came here to put that hack Carl in his place as well as the whole clique you pretend not toknow about.

>There were no real models of population genetics in 19th century to speak of. It was basically pioneered by Ronald Fisher in the 1920s. The Price equation I mention was published in 1970s. You'd have known that if you were the expert you claim you are, but as it turns out, you can't even be bothered to consult Wikipedia.

Got me there, I don't know crap about the history of sciences. Likewise, I do MCMCs all the time but I have no idea when Markov lived and where Monte Carlo is. Shame on me I guess?

>Same argument is true for dog breeds, and yet people have no difficulty distinguishing a chihuahua from a greyhound. Just like Saini, you keep saying things that are true, but irrelevant, hoping to deflect the attention from the core argument without having to actually address it.

The same argument doesn't hold since dog breeds are in fact quite well defined.

>It's Saini that wants that, of course. By the way, this is another contentless attack designed to deflect attention. I can't help but notice that in the whole thread, you haven't cited a single scientific finding, not a single one indeed.

There's a misconception here. I didn't come here to lecture laymen about stuff I know - that's called vulgarizing and people get paid for this. Nor did I come here to do a review on the current literature about the genetics of complex traits - again, people get paid for this. If you think I'm willing to put in the extremely tedious work of collecting, summarizing and presenting a bunch of papers to an audience that's barely receptive to it and half of which buys into pseudoscience served by Pioneer Fund recipients, and that I'm going to do it for free, you are going to be disappointed. We're already underpaid enough so that I'm not going to put in extra hours for no reason. Unlike amateurs and professional internet arguers, I don't actually get off of doing this kind of stuff complete with citations and links, especially given this specific debate has been going on for decades already.

So yes, this is a rant. I came here because it annoyed me to see Carl and his ilk go unchallenged but I don't really care about Saini's book beyond the fact that most professionals I know liked it. If you want something more constructive I can give you my Venmo.
If you get the virus, you will likely survive, and I hope you do. The point of the cancelling is to slow the spread, to reduce the risk that your parents will get it, or that if they do, the health care system will have enough capacity to care for them. You hope for an empty city? Be patient, Boston might get another big blizzard in your lifetime.
They might have plans to "leave" and go on vacation/visit friends, but not necessarily to move. Those are quite different things.
Ah, yes, washing your hands. The completely infallible way to prevent the spread of a disease.

I don't want you to be afraid - I want you to minimize the risk that you get coronavirus and become another infection vector, endangering the at-risk populations around you.

I want you to do that because it is the socially responsible thing to do, and it will decrease the chance of someone who is far more at risk of serious complications from the disease catching it.
This is perhaps one of the more ignorant comments on this thread.

> When you go to an elite college, you're really paying for the degree.

In many cases, you go to an elite college to pay for the experience to learn from, engage with, and collaborate with the world's best scientists, thinkers, engineers, and professors. In some cases, like Rice, if your parents make less than 130,000 a year - you don't pay a dime. Undergraduate tuition is pennies to these institutions whose endowments are orders of magnitudes larger than the revenue from tuition. I look at it like this... My degree cost quite a bit a year... in exchange for that I got to study, learn, work in labs with scientists doing things that without me paying the entry fee.. I would have never been able to do. It's not like you can just walk up to a group of NASA researchers and IEEE fellows and say... hey can you send me GBs of data from the Huygens probe and provide me hundreds of thousands of dollars of computing power to play around with that data? Will you let me use your multi million dollar clean room to learn about lithography? Will you let me use that nanotube growing lab to learn about growing carbon nanotubes? If you are just paying for the degree you are doing yourself an offensive disservice.. and I would suspect one day you will look back and realise what a waste you made of the opportunity.

> This is also why there are caps on admission: it creates scarcity value for graduates from that university. When there are fewer graduates with a credential, companies that want to employ them have to compete for a limited number of human resources, which drives up wages. Additionally, the university can impose selection bias on matriculating freshmen who will eventually receive the credential, which helps maintain the reputation of the university's graduates.

There are caps on admissions for a wide variety of reasons - but largely because the faculty of the individual schools within these Universities are working to create a culture and a learning and discovery environment.. these goals are threatened when you have too many students to support while at the same time supporting the research that actually makes the university a worthwhile place to study.

> If you don't maintain the selectivity of the institution, you end up with what's happening in the mid-tier for-profit colleges, where students take out massive loans for a degree but then it doesn't really improve their employment prospects much. If everybody has a college degree, its financial value is basically 0.

I'm going to argue that what is happening at the mid-tier for-profit colleges is that they are actually not providing their students with a quality education or network that improves their employment prospects.
Deadliest World Events in Human History
My motorized standing desk, VESA amounting arm, and 27” FreeSync + color-calibrated monitor _combined_ total at around $1000 dollars.

To highlight the absurdity of this estimate: $2000 USD should be enough to pay for an entire work-from-home setup with a high quality office chair, an ergonomic keyboard, and a whiteboard in addition to what I have mentioned above (assuming that work provides your computer).
One can imagine certain futures where it's actually a good thing for low-risk populations quickly develop an immunity, styming the spread later on.
My 2 cents, I don't know of any hydrogen fuel stations in Tokyo except for one in Odaiba which seems shut down now.
I just wish they'd offer a decent battery warranty. The current battery warranties are very weak, especially on the Tesla.
I'd rather just work in a normal office provided by my employer than work in a co-working space. The latter seems strictly worse, so long as your company has an office where you live anyway (and mine does).

Also, co-working spaces are no-go because of COVID-19 too, at least for now. So the current situation isn't so much WFH as it is WFQ, and co-working spaces don't meet that need either.
Boost Beast seems to be pretty robust. Personally, I'd feel fine using it. I know the author Vinnie is very active with the community and very receptive and responsive to bug reports.
Ah. As someone who went through the same thing (minus the ptsd), next time you get in a bad mental spot go see a psychiatrist and tell them about the bipolar diagnosis. There are some very mild mood stabilizers out there nowadays that don't zombify you. (SSRI's can trigger manic episodes and cycling in people with bipolar, fyi).

Also just making sure you don't trying and deliberately alter your moods with caffeine, weed, or amphetamines will keep you relatively stable (even without drugs). Although if you start having a full blown episode it's worth keeping what I said above in mind.

Sorry if the advice is unwelcome. This is just what I found helpful.

People with bipolar often use caffeine, weed, or even amphetamines to deliberately trigger hypomania. Feels good, but unfortunately it also increases the frequency of depressed episodes. It's like Karma.
So I repeated rachel's experiment with the tech stack that I use (elixir/phoenix). It's got a GC, a database adapter that really does a great job with validations and modeling, and at work I've replaced one django stack with it so far.

Not sure if my machine is at all comparable (i5-8265U unplugged laptop CPU @ 1.60GHz) but also the phoenix hello world does a hell of a lot more, like setting session cookies and producing a full front page that renders through two templates. They also took a bit longer to get to in developer time. While you go get a website at :4000 with two commands -- five if you have to install elixir from scratch, it's not really representative of performance: I had to go to prod to disable the live code-reloader and debug/info level logs, disable SSL (releasing to prod defaults to SSL-enabled) and perform a release (elixir these days really wants you to have devops hygeine).

1) I was pretty pleased with the performance. (1900 rps in the base case, 2600 rps in the keepalive case)

2) Unlike Rachel's platform, Elixir is better with concurrency out of the gate (went up to 7800 rps with -c 100), which tells me, the erlang VM is really doing something right.

3) Paying for the cost of having correctly implemented, difficult things like sessions and no XSS would be worth a massive performance hit, IMO.

4) Doing the right thing with Elixir is crazy easy, there's way fewer footguns than python, and code is typically extremely well documented and tested, and inspiring enough to make you want to document and test (though there are fewer libraries).
...and lo' you're going to be one of those dudes who wanders around pregnant women while incubating the measles.

I can't say anything good about this decision of yours.

I took the subway today, and it was about 1/4 full for the time. But everyone there wasn't pulling their hair out in abject terror. Last night my wife and I ate dinner at a Thai restaurant, and it was pretty full. I'm just going with the huge portion of society that doesn't choose to be afraid.
Yeah me neither. Sometimes conversations just go off the rails. Happens in face-to-face conversations too.

Anyway, good day!
If you want multi-datacenter consistency, then the best of transaction protocols will still measure latency in terms of the speed of light multiplied by the distance between datacenters.
The low risk populations are actively spreading it and are passing it on to high risk populations bin that case. We'd rather have the disease spread slowly and move some of those infections from now to later so our health system doesn't get overwhelmed, and we'd rather delay as long as possible to get a vaccine developed
I just think you notice how unproductive you are more when working alone. If you were in the office, you could go get a coffee or spend an hour or two bullshitting with someone near a watercooler, or have a longer lunch, or sit in some pointless meeting. I've been working from home for the last year and a half, and as a consultant I only charge for the time when I'm working, and let me tell you, to work for 8 hours a day _for real_ is a pretty difficult thing. It's something people never actually do on a consistent basis as FTEs. In any given day in the office _at most_ half a day, if not less, is spent doing something productive.

And that's in a hard-charging company like Google. Other companies are worse: ~13 years ago I worked at Microsoft and we had a period where the team just didn't do any work at all, for like 2 months. Everyone still showed up and pretended to be busy AF, but nothing got done. Lots of meetings and watercooler conversations got done though. Lots of status reporting as well. By any traditional metric people appeared to be "productive". But nothing got done all the same.
Rents would go down as most would flee to bigger homes in nicer places. No reason to pay 3800 for a shoe box if you stay at home to work.
Yes, I took it for a while. It really helped me get out of bed, like a light stimulant. It wasn't habit forming for me, but I could definitely tell how others might get hooked. It was more effective than the 6 or so other conventional antidepressants I took.
I think Rust has an intrinsic advantage simply in its power. Standard libraries (and really most code) are written by humans. Giving those humans the confidence to implement complex data structures and algorithms without worrying about null pointers or memory leaks has ripping effects on performance. See C’s (“simple”) AVL tree vs Rust’s B-Tree[0].

The complacency shown in the US thus far will be extremely painful to look back on in a few weeks' time. I hope that I'm wrong, but I have little reason to think otherwise at the moment.
Stretch out the initial infection spike until we've rebuilt the iron lung supply is one of the big things.
Speaking of branding, I've some questions:

1. When are services branded as AWS (AWS Fargate) vs Amazon (Amazon DynamoDB)?

2. Is BottleRocket a nod to SkyRocket [0] or a movie of the same name?

3. Why is it called Fargate [1]?

Nobody is suggesting you panic. Staying home is not panicking. Practicing standard virus safety is not panicking. The parent post is not panicking, nor have they said anything that implies they need to "relax". You're attacking people and concepts for shallow reasons.
Have you tried instant coffee https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-instant-coffee/
They can't shut down the grocery stores for long periods of time for the simple fact that people will start starving to death, which has a mortality rate strictly worse than any pandemic disease. The only retail businesses still open in the worst-struck parts of China and Italy are the grocery stores and pharmacies, because they have to be open. They are essential. Some of my relatives are Italian and they have to book a specific time slot to go to the grocery store, and that and the pharmacy/doctor/hospital are the only things they can be on the roads to do.

These options will continue to be viable unless society completely collapses, which doesn't seem in the cards here.
When the infection first made news, the management brought it up earlier, canceled all business flights, bought masks and antiseptic for everyone here. The office isn't accessible with public transport.

We're still coming to office, bosses gossip about COVID-19 daily (we literally added updates to the about menu on our app). But it's still in control where I live, only around 129 cases nationwide, supposedly slowing down.
Harris and Christakis on Coronavirus
Every disease has its super spreaders, this poster is just a good example of why we should cancel everything and be careful, since there is at least one person out there with no understanding of risk and disease epidemiology. There are likely to be more, and the less chances we give them to put us and vulnerable populations in harm's way, the better. If we knew everyone would react appropriately we wouldn't need drastic action, but this is a perfect example of why we need to act fast.
4 week long world wide vacation. only no travelling and you dont get paid for it.
I have seen this happening in every Bank I've ever worked in/with that was big enough to expand or small enough to be M&A-ed. When a bank buys out a significant part of an Insurance, Factoring, Securities, etc. company, the next day the clients get a nice letter (or email nowadays) about the news and that is that. And a few weeks later the vertical sales begin. All banks that grow through M&A (mostly As) do exactly that. I will assume RH to be Securities since they don't seem to be doing something else (give out loans, hold deposits). So, again, if those fine people that have £€¥$ to RH are JUST VCs the above is not happening. But if they DO have equity, and that would be north of 5-10%, and they BDO have some management over RH (BYOCommitees) it is naive (not mean to insult you or anyone) to think that they don't siphon data. It is like saying that MS didn't get a copy of LinkedIn the very next day, or that FB didn't get their hands on WhatsApp's phone numbers, or that a BANK who just bought a Securities company for which they are NOW LIABLE in the eyes of SEC did not get ALL the data to run KYC/AML/OFAC etc.
That company has a $1.7bn valuation where own funds where...? And three big players may own 60-70% of that?

I have seen this happening so many times.

And there are myriad ways to get the data. The easy ones is through their DWH where suddenly (with the correct mapping) all reports etc work on day1 with the new data.

If you know this from experience (ran due diligence pre M&A, worked with the DWH post M&A) or have some other experience on the matter, feel free to share names. I will only share two SocGen and BofA and leave it at that.
While prisma2 is probably the best node ORM, it still has a lot of issues. It seems to take a lot of inspiration from the mongo api, which is a good idea, as that is the one thing mongo got right. There are a bunch of issues with it though:

It should be closer to the mongo api.

await prisma.users.findOne({ where: { id: 1 } })

should just be

await prisma.users.findOne({ id: 1 })

for example.

It is trying to do too much. There is a hard limit of where ORMs try to take over too many of the things you do in SQL and become slow and complex and a big black hole. prisma tries to do migrations, table creation, etc, etc. These things rarely work properly.

Lazy loading never works. Somewhere litered in your code you access a field that is outside the scope of the pulled in data and it is in a loop and suddenly you have 100 requests. You have to look through your entire function to understand which fields are inside and outside of the scope of the query, and add more includes or whatever.

There are security issues with ORMs that traverse and save relationships, as github itself found out. You add user__roles form field maliciously on the client side to a form that was just supposed to update the user and not the roles, then suddenly you find your user.save() method on the server-side has traversed and added new roles to a user.

I am writing a kind of orm today based on the mongo api without all the $ signs, much like prisma, but closer and without all the additional things. github username is thebinarysearchtree.

ORMS should just be for fairly simple, single table tasks. That way they get out of the road and don't become some big complex thing that ruins performance and adds its own complexity.
No, timezone information can be critical and assuming you can always strip it is just wrong.

You might not have encountered such scenarios but they are very much out there.
Cities have attractions that are uniquely their own. You overestimate how many people would flee to the boonies.
