From my POV the real problem is that there are phenomenon that apparently cannot be studied scientifically. Like Reiki. Now I'm not a scientist but I am a huge proponent of science. Carl Sagan is among my personal heroes, okay? I am in favor of science over superstition and irrationality.

One day I encountered a phenomenon that is as real and physically dramatic as, say, the electric field of a Van de Graff generator. Being a fan of science I went looking for the math/science/engineering for this phenomenon. Long story short, after a few years of research, I discovered that: 1) this phenomenon has been known since antiquity in a pre-scientific way; 2) several researchers had independently (re-)discovered it multiple times going back about 2.5 centuries; 3) each time it had achieved a certain notoriety but then been debunked and subsequently ignored or forgotten. The first was Mesmer & "animal magnetism", but there are several others including Baron Von Reichenbach & the "Odic force", and Wilhelm Reich & "Orgone". This is repeating today with several kinds of "energy healing" including Reiki (which is distinguished by being Japanese and unabashedly theistic (Rei means Divine)) where practice is widespread, but lacking scientific validation. As I say, I've felt Reiki, so I know it's real, but so far I've personally never been able to interest any scientists in studying it, despite offering to demonstrate it. And the studies that have been done haven't helped. The Wikipedia article for Reiki just straight up calls it pseudoscience.
Everything is about defense in depth. "Locking everything up" as Italy is doing now is a last resort. But every bit helps:

* We wash our hands because it reduces the chances for infection from something we recently touched (also reduces the chance we'll spread a still-incubating infection by touching things!)

* We don't touch our face because mucus membranes are where the virus enters (and leaves!) the body, reducing the chance of infection.

* We wear masks because a common vector is water droplets from coughs entering (or leaving!) the lungs and this reduces the chance of such a droplet leaving an infected person's lungs and entering a healthy body.

* We avoid large crowds because the fewer people we are near, the lower the chance someone healthy will be near someone who is infected.

* We avoid travel to reduce the chance of an infection being introduced into a region where it doesn't exist yet.

* We test pervasively because when people know they are infected, or that people near them are infected, they are much (!) more likely to follow the rules above. (And also because it allows for better public planning and resource allocation, e.g. moving health care resources around to places we know are emerging as hotspots.)

Etc... It all adds up. And if we're lucky the simple/cheap versions of this strategy will be enough to contain it. It seems to have been true in Korea.

In the US? I'm not hopeful, honestly.

That's true, but I think the fact that you get light reliably every day is still a big point in its favor. It's probably a lot less mass total to send up twice the solar panels and 18 hours' worth of batteries vs half the solar panels but 16 days' worth of batteries. Solar panels are pretty light; batteries are not.

Yes, and that's what I did. In my case, I was writing to a file. And my languages were C, Python, and Lua. So, I wrote a small package (plus bindings for Python and Lua) that would write out the message length as a uint64, then a uint8 for which schema the message is (I was working with multiple different message types), and then the actual message bytes.

So, it's do-able. But, I'm just saying that other formats/libraries support this natively out of the box.

> Expected difference is not an interesting statistical property, just as the mean isn't (by itself).

Difference in means can meet the definition of effect size, and are listed as an example right away in the wikipedia article on it [0]! The key is that it capture the phenomena of interest (and generally, the magnitude shouldn't be a function of number of observations). In psychology, where scales often have arbitrarily defined ranges (eg IQ scales), means usually are not useful effect sizes.

The case you list is a separate issue from effect size (probably the violation of distributional assumptions in some implicit or explicit model). Even using difference in means / variance (say, cohen's d), two observations that extreme would make the interpretation of both mean and variance calculations pretty dubious (a problem not solved by dividing them).

Ugh that makes me worry, what happened to TST for you?
Frameworks like React aren't the real headache today, for me at least. It's all the machinery of web development. Webpack, babel, polyfills, various CSS transforms and ways to utilize CSS (sass, less, CSS modules, CSS inline, the list is a mile long).

My organization has tossed so many manhours into maintaining webpack and our build that you could recreate our entire site numerous times over in a bog standard LAMP stack with a fraction of the headcount. The cost of a modern web dev stack is no joke. And for what, I might ask? The UX of a single page app is atrocious. The canonical example of SPA done right is Google Maps. Ever tried Google Maps on a mobile browser? There is a reason the native app still exists.

SPA is, at best, a desktop-first experience that we're trying to force into a mobile-first world we live. It's nearly the definition of insanity, what we're trying to do with the web today.

In the process of everyone following Google and Facebook, we are also destroying the essential ingredient of the web: links. Everything is a walled garden with internal state and incredibly fragile external links (if any at all). Pinterest and Quora, everywhere. What will define the web of the 2010-2020+ is that everything is broken and everything sucks.
I think you needed to give more context, which you might be able to do if you can still edit it. “Discussion” could mean anything.

Chinese are certainly lying about numbers, and even if they aren't, they can't possibly return to work (which they're also lying about) and simultaneously be containing this bug.

At best, even if they're telling the truth about numbers, the moment that they stop lying about economic activity and actually bring workers back to work, than their case numbers will go back up again.
I don't think you've looked at the linked page in this case. It's not what you think it is, and the difference in the two discussions also reflects that.
> Want to parse a string in JSON? okay, this is a starting quote, so let's iterate down the rest of the document, looking for unescaped end quotes, and then copy that into a buffer.

Yes, so what's the problem?

Meanwhile keep in mind that the JSON document was already passed in a HTTP request body, or that its trivial to put string length checks on a parser, or even nesting limit checks.
My languages were C, Python, and Lua. Lua supports this, but C and Python don't (at least not in the library generated by protoc at the time I did this project, ie. like 2 years ago).
+1. The absence of racism will not improve the outcome of this virus in any way whatsoever. This is just the author trying to masquerade her opinion as science.

"Do not be careless" and "do not binge the news" are equally useless pieces of advice.
As long as you know the length of the entire buffer, you just ensure that:

current_addr + message_len - start_addr < buffer_len

Or am I missing something?
I don't see how that has to do with Germany paying italian debt, since Italy participated in the bailout of Greek banks.
Two comments:

"FSE was a preprint: a paper that hadn’t necessarily gone through peer-review, editing, and publication in a journal. Academics share preprints because 1) the process of getting a paper journal-ready can take years, so this gets it out faster, and 2) academics can share their research with people who aren’t able to afford the ludicrous journal fees."

To my knowledge, all ACM conferences including the "ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering" are peer-reviewed. In CS, in my experience, peer-review for conferences is more thorough than journal review. Conferences are more important. The idea that they are preprints is something from linguistics or some other field.

"How did FSE take the rebuttal rebuttal? Not well.

"So that’s technically not a dox, because he didn’t publish Berger’s private information, but still. That’s a really asshole thing to do!"

I'm not sure I would call linking to someone's Facebook page from Twitter to be "doxxing" in any sense. Calling a fellow researcher a "donkey" is a bit of an asshole thing, too. (I have no link to said comment, but I know Emery Berger. He's very positive he's right, the smartest in the room, and very abrasive.)

Tl;dr: Software engineering research is a garbage fire. But we knew that.

Probably because Jobs knew M68K already and had relationships with Motorola? Just a theory.

NeXT did have a working M88K[1] system, that booted and ran. The case was a slightly taller version of the NeXTStation. Then they killed all hardware.

However the pa-risc systems were the best you could run NS/OS on. Intel might be faster but it was a pain to setup. 712/100 just ran and ran smoothly.

I read (and can't recall the source) that, when they tested this system, they first tried it on a pig. But the pig couldn't use arms and legs to stabilize itself, and so it spun while being winched into the plane. It entered the plane in a disoriented state. When it recovered (?) from that, it attacked the crew.

South Korea has done almost 4k tests per million people. Guangdong in China has done 3k per million. The US has done 5 tests per million. That's three orders of magnitude worse than China or South Korea. Explanations like "This is a hard problem" or "There wasn't enough time" are simply unacceptable given that other countries are doing dramatically better.

I have mixed feelings about embedding this point in the list, because even though I think it serves a worthy purpose it may impede the primary objective of slowing the spread of COVID-19 by making this resource less palatable to some.

I've heard this fact before and immediately discarded it as most likely based only on anecdotal evidence.

It's futile arguing that the risk is low because the officials classified it as such when I stated that I disagree with their risk assessment and management strategy. If I look at a risk matrix I would classify the risk impact of not quarantining as significant to disastrous and the likelihood as very likely. That puts the current situation in all of the world at the highest risk.

On the coronvirus wiki article, a very helpful chart shows the fatality rate by age.

If you are under the age of 40, there is only a 0.1% chance (currently) that your case of coronavirus will be fatal.

If you are over the age of 80, it is above 12%.

Almost all of the fatalities in Italy have been from the elderly. My heart breaks for those unlucky souls.

However, statistically, most of us will catch this virus, and most of us will be fine.
