Seems like focusing on blaming individuals rather than:

- Employers don't allow telecommuting.

- Employers with draconian sick leave policies.

- No paid sick leave for the majority of jobs (and or strict limits).

- Limited access to testing to know if you have Covid-19 (Vs. a common cold). Which is significant with e.g. Walmarts new policies which ONLY allow Covid-19 paid sick leave.

Ultimately we set up a system where most people lose by default, then we critique those people for their personal failings without a hint of irony.

Here's a guy who's an expert on COVID-19 because he reads the internet. If you have symptoms that feel like death I am telling you to discount this persons' advice, get yourself to the doctor because you may very well be dying.

Also a site that's just better:

https://www.zocdoc.com/about/coronavirus-covid-19-2/

Here's the advice from this site:

>Contact your primary care provider before going to their office. Be sure to let them know if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus, or if you’ve recently traveled to an area where the virus is spreading, whether or not you have symptoms. If you don’t have a doctor to contact, you can also reach out to your local board of health.

^^that up there is proper advice.
> It's just wrong.

It's something everyone has a strong opinion on, but nobody's ever really figured out how to measure. Leaving it a subject that's still firmly in the province of conjecture. Typically self-affirming conjecture.

Me, I like dynamic languages, but, given that this subject is pretty much a complete knowledge vacuum, populated only by occasional iffy, easily criticized studies like the one in question, I'm inclined to say that the only position that offers any decent chance of not being informed primarily by confirmation bias is to assume that, for the most part, none of us has any firm idea what they're talking about. Least of all oneself.

In order to get insight in that future I look to examples close to API. One such area is proprietary standard documents that covers proprietary protocols. What does it mean for a protocol to be proprietary? Usually that a single company control all the software that communicate with each other under that protocol. Software stacks became platform for that vendor, and Microsoft was infamous in using this technique in binding people to the Microsoft ecosystem in the previous two decades. However in recent time DRM has been used to create a similar effect and companies has started to abandon the idea of preventing others from creating protocol compatibility by hiding how the protocol works or by burying it in legal swamps. If you want a walled garden you just put in cryptographic verification tests at the client, server and hardware level.

Using DRM for a programming language in order to create a walled garden is a bit harder. We can imagine a Java 2.0 (evil version) where the byte code has DRM that checks for unauthorized java compilers, but it won't work if the physical programmer can choose to move to a new platform. DRM can thus not create a wall garden for a programming language unless there is legal walls that prevent a competitor to create a compatible platform.

> Limited access to testing to know if you have Covid-19

This is a huge one, at least in France. A friend recently tried to get tested because he was coughing heavily and had a fever. His doctor asked if he went to Italy or China recently, he said no, his doctor replied "Well then you don't have it." and that was the end of it.

A new Leaf is $30k base. A car which depreciates that much is going to look really bad to new buyers versus one that doesn't. And without new buyers there are no used cars to sell at $8500. Tesla is affordable to something like 50% of new car buyers and if it sells for $20k more used then paying $10k more is an easy decision if you can afford it.

edit: Or in other words, used cars are irrelevant in terms of market adoption since their supply is limited by the supply of new cars. So you need to look at the demand and sales of new cars.

So I just realized to get a number to use for a discussion forum, it's $20 per month. That basically stopped me from creating one. An idea I had was to make a few fliers with a QR code linking to my (hypothetical) number, and ask for student's opinions on the COVID-19 situation on campus anonymously.

I could post some of these fliers at my student union, in other common areas. But I think marketing this as anonymous discussion would work pretty well, because people don't have a way to do that anymore in 2020. The compression would mask /some/ identifying vocal intonations, and the area code isn't that relevant, considering a lot of kids at my school are from other states.

Good design can take a while to be accepted, particularly in automotive. Some Ford of Europe cars were radical enough to be deemed ugly when they were new, for example the Sierra and the Focus. In time people got used to them and the rest of the market borrowed the design principles.

Some of the excesses of the trend setting designs got dropped, for example the huge double spoiler on the sport version of the Sierra, however, the aero shape gave fuel efficiencies important to the fleet buyer so that stayed. Nowadays all saloon cars have a little bit of Sierra 'jelly mould' in their design.

With EV design the fake grille that Tesla started out with has been dropped. Tesla also don't do the funny blue lights 'because it is electric' styling that other marques sucker themselves for.

Some people do not want an EV car that has retro, e.g. the grill, or the inane, e.g. the funny blue lights. A different future is sought, more along the lines of the second generation Nissan Leaf that is 'conventional' rather than the first, which had the silly blue lights styling in abundance.

Now your suggestion of a BMW 3 series with the ICE replaced with batteries is a non-starter. Sure you can do what MINI have done and just shove batteries where the ICE bits would go, but it always feels retro-fitted. It would not be the 'ultimate driving machine' or offer the passenger luxury that EV is best at (3 series BMW's have miserable rear legroom because it is a driver's car). There would be this stupidly large bonnet for an ICE that did not exist. And you would not get your 350 miles range with ICE grade aero and weighty steel.

What are the alternatives?

Even though it’s not ideal, I actively prefer JSON over every other random format I’ve come across. This is speaking as somebody who mostly has to tweak existing configs, rather than extending them or writing new ones.

YAML (along with I guess TOML etc) looks nice at first glance, but it has too many weird syntax shortcuts that make it hard to figure out what’s actually going on. And googling for syntax like “[ ]” is hard!

With JSON, the data model is super simple, and for a given set of data there’s only one way to write it down. Sometimes the data model is too simple, sure. But even for fiddly cases like dates and times, there’s often an obvious solution (in this case, ISO 8601 strings).
Using threads for in-flight IOs means burning up lots of memory with stacks, and burning ever more CPU in context switches as IOs complete. In practice this means using some kind of state machine (either explicit or in the form of coroutines) to pick up where logic paused at the initiation of the IO. The logic with respect to locking and concurrency control doesn't change; the costs in memory and CPU do.

The CPU cost is increasing all the time due to all the cache attacks being revealed and the mitigations blowing away various cache contents, which is especially damaging in VM contexts like AWS where the mitigations can't be reasonably disabled.

The inflection point here means that the speed of the spreading of virus gets slower, so less people get infected then previous day. If this point is earlier in time, this means that the virus won't infect so many people after a time. I think the big question is the cause of the inflection point. Is it because of the nature of the virus or because of the different action like quarantine

Your expectation makes no sense. Popular JS VMs have huge attack surfaces, and are prime candidates for gray and black market vulnerability hunts. They are often not maintained, thus once a vulnerability is discovered, the entire app is compromised. In the case of a highly-privileged process, this can be catastrophic.

Contrast this with tailor-made, slim and well tested C++ code. And yes, I do expect security companies to have well-written and well-tested code.

What is the overall infection prognosis for the US? For Germany it is expected that 60 to 70% of the population will get Covid-19. Assuming 65% for the US, that would mean 214M infected, say over 2 years (and assuming linearity, which is naive) and each critical case needing care for a month, we are talking about nearly 18M critical cases per month. So yes, a huge amount of people.

>Articles are hand selected. Everything that calls my attention and passes the «trivia filter»

Let me respectfully comment that the above explanation doesn't actually mean anything to me because I don't know what articles you rejected.

That's the same problem I have with people's lists of "best" book recommendations: I don't know what supposedly great and well-regarded books the curator disliked or found useless. That "negative" list that nobody ever volunteers is probably more useful than seeing "How to Win Friends and Influence People" repeatedly on everyone's list.

If I knew you well as a longtime friend -- or -- you were already an established authority on digesting news (e.g. Chomsky, Hitchens, etc), then I could forego looking at your rejections. But since I don't, the only way to know if your "pass" filter is useful to me is if I weigh it against your "rejects".
it reminds me of climate change, pushing blame onto individuals while corporations and governments continue business as usual. sure, recycle that bottle. quarantine yourself. but in the grand scheme of things it makes very little difference compared to if corporations and governments took the actions necessary.

It had NOTHING to do with the simplicity of the parser. He's said in his lectures that the real reason was that he wanted to prevent someone hiding custom pre-processor data in the comments and causing incompatibility.

I think this was stupid. First, it happens anyway to some extent with people just using custom byte encodings for "strings". Second, using comments for metadata could be useful -- even if optional. For example, adding types after strings to specify things like the date format.
