Google didn't copy implementation code in this case, they copied the API and rewrote the implementation from scratch.

> My gut feel is that if that's how transmission occurs, we shouldn't see infection spread between large numbers of people who were simply present in the same room as each other for a few days.

People cough and sneeze all the time, even healthy people, and the droplets of saliva from that land on surfaces that other people touch and then they touch their faces, rub their eyes and pick their noses. So the virus will spread in the air and also by transmission onto mucus membranes from your hands. It’s not airborne but there is droplet transmission. The danger is relatively small if people don’t touch, like shaking hands, hugging or kissing, and if surfaces are wiped down with disinfectants regularly and everyone washes their hands but that does not describe most people’s experience of being in a room with other people for a few days.
I was a critic when this was first posted (and was promptly downvoted). I don't understand why this is getting traction (or even a research direction they decided to pursue). does anyone really believe this thing is doing some kind of symbolic reasoning? it's doing nothing but memorizing training examples! that it has nonzero performance in test is owing to the wonky metric.
Yes, Prisma allows you to run hand crafted SQL queries. That’s is the bare minimum I would expect from it. Graphile on the other hand allows you to do this AND to systematically generate whole classes of such requests, through plugins.
Obesity: An Epidemic Scientists Can't Ignore
Meta point: do we have to accept deception as a necessary part of sales? It seems strange that we accept deception and manipulation as necessary ingredients in the market, and that its on the buyer when they "get duped".

But couldn't we have a standard where literally anything anyone says to a customer must be true, or was not false to the knowledge of the person saying it? Scammy warranties, timeshares, and other "gotcha" products would be a thing of the past. To make money, providing honest value with a product that matches the expectation of the customer would be required.

In these situations, cruise lines will of course lose money in the short term. But the alternative is that we accept the risk to human life to people taking these cruises, all in the name of short-term capital gain. What if instead we had to either "eat the loss", or invest in true safety (we can take 50% of normal passenger load, add these safety measures, these cleaning routines, etc).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade

> As a result of the piracy and unlicensed development issues, Sega incorporated a technical protection mechanism into a new edition of the Genesis released in 1990, referred to as the Genesis III. This new variation of the Genesis included code known as the Trademark Security System (TMSS), which, when a game cartridge was inserted into the console, would check for the presence of the string "SEGA" at a particular point in the memory contained in the cartridge. If and only if the string was present, the console would run the game, and would briefly display the message: "PRODUCED BY OR UNDER LICENSE FROM SEGA ENTERPRISES LTD." This system had a twofold effect: it added extra protection against unlicensed developers and software piracy, and it forced the Sega trademark to display when the game was powered up, making a lawsuit for trademark infringement possible if unlicensed software were to be developed.

[...]

> The Ninth Circuit reversed the district court's order and ruled that Accolade's use of reverse engineering to publish Genesis titles was protected under fair use, and that its alleged violation of Sega trademarks was the fault of Sega. The case is frequently cited in matters involving reverse engineering and fair use under copyright law.

I mean, they are in the case where the trick applies equally to everybody and there’s no single person who can be rubber-hosed to put a stop to it. (Cloudflare wouldn’t be an example of this, but IPFS would.)

Secret-ballot elections are a good, clear example of a “technical trick” that works out for real political effects. You can’t rubber-hose people into voting for you, if you can’t know where to spend your resources; and you can’t know where to spend your resources, if you can’t spy on the polls. So every individual poll just needs to choose to set up the “technology” of secret ballots (voting screens, ballot boxes, separate sign-in and vote steps, etc.) and, in aggregate, your attempt at manipulation will be stymied. And you can’t just shut down the people who make (voting screens, ballot boxes, clipboards and lists, etc.) because all those things are easy DIY projects with no monopolist producer†.

† This is an under-reported reason why we shouldn’t be using voting machines. They put us in the precarious situation where there’s a centralized supply-side to secret-ballot elections, that could be choked off by a nascent dictator.
I forgot to answer your other question about tracking employee engagement. We make people track their work down to the 15 minute increment, and make sure they hit specific allocations per project exactly. We also micromanage their tasks in Jira so all of the time tracking lines up to tickets.

> dismissing the likelihood of somebody having coronavirus just because they haven't been to Italy. So yes, stupid.

The amount of infected people calling in who havent traveled is _infinitecimal_. The doctor saying you're not infected is correct an OVERWHELMING amount of the time, probably >99% accuracy. Eventually, this wont be true, but then the doctor wont be telling everyone to go away because theyre not stupid.

Now, if you want to argue the merits of extreme overcaution and attempting things like 100% testing for a global pandemic mitigation plan, good for you. You have a lot of hurdles to overcome, some of which you named yourself, but none of them are the doctors fault. You are simply wrong.

Wikipedia seems to suggest this passage is entirely correct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus_disease_2019

"Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2),"

and it is backed up by a WHO factsheet https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...
You describe luxury. When I went to Penn state two people shared a single room a bit larger than a walk in closet. We had a "microfridge" which was one of those tiny soda refrigerators with an equally tiny microwave bolted on. Two chairs, two desks built into the wall, two built in sets of drawers, and two armoires were the rest if the room besides the two twin beds. Shared bathroom for the floor down the hall.

Hot plates and other heating elements were banned. Use of a dorm room was mandatory for freshman year.
Realistically it's more than that, though. Viruses mutate rapidly and this one is into the hundreds of thousands of human transmissions now and still picking up steam. We just don't have the PCR bandwith available to sequence them as fast as they're spreading. Pretty much any direct pronouncement on the "kinds" of SARS-CoV-2 is going to be speculation, so it's all "rumors".

But strains don't correlate perfectly to immune respnse, so the upthread point about reinfection risk remains speculation. We just don't know yet. But all endemic viruses eventually reach equilibrium with the population immune response (and vaccination regime), even if it requires regular updates a-la the yearly change in flu shots.
With markets, you have an opportunity to discover conglomeration and monopolies who reward themselves. With government, you have elections, and if that doesn't work, well maybe you have an incompetent society, and all you have is luck.
As I posted elsewhere, unless you plan to raise PRs, fork or take any other maintenance ownership of a project -- be that an orchestration tool or an operating system -- then it shouldn't matter what language it was written in.

At least with your Makefile example, you'd need to edit and maintain those Makefiles, so there is logic in rewriting them in $LANG_PREFERENCE.

But if you're rewriting services you wouldn't otherwise need to maintain just for the sake of language purity then you have to ask yourself if what you're doing is a smart use of your time or if you're actually just "shaving a yak".

> Also, I am a man, not a group: 'he,' not 'they' please grin

It's often impossible to know the gender of someone, let alone their preferred pronoun, from their post alone. So you're going to run into a lot of people saying "they" when referring to you.

edit: getting a lot of downvotes on this so it's clearly an unpopular opinion. I probably should point out I've ran several development teams over the years and it's very easy to go down the rabbit hole of NIH. There's a saying about "standing on the shoulders of giants" which I think applies here; and there's no shame in sacrificing language purity if it gives you increase productivity without any side effects (aside selling off a little of your soul). The key is being able to balance need from want. eg does that orchestration tool need to be written in $LANG_PREFERENCE or does this one on Go actually work pretty well? The ironic thing is as we get more accustomed to using cloud tools, we're becoming more reliant on stuff written which we have no visibility of. So in a way, the language purity war has already been lost.
Still I assert: if you can't colonize Mt Everest, you sure as hell can't colonize Mars.
Actually, that's extremely pessimistic. Unchecked exponential growth until it slams in to the population ceiling is both the worst-case scenario for fatalities, and also the scenario that would finish in three months.

Raises a tough question about mathematics generally. Is math anything other than memorizing a set of rules (and being able to regurgitate them when shown a problem)? Obviously for anything like arithmetic, multiplication, etc. the answer is "yes this is just memorized".

Then for more complex math, can't it be argued that this is just recombination of memorized theories and algos, but using some kind of random search?

I'm not sure math involves as much symbolic reasoning as we like to think, but I could be wrong. The same goes for programming - mostly just regurgitating known algos (which break into smaller memorized sub-algos). When presented with something novel, generally just use random approaches until one fits. A few people in history who had to come up with "the first" such programs had some novelty, but even those were mostly just applications of known / memorized solutions in a random way (e.g. quicksort).
> The government of Kazakhstan used the CA inappropriately, to impersonate at least 37 domains. That is at least illegal in itself, as far as international trademark law is concerned. It contravenes all norms of international business.

It's about risk mitigation. It's not 100% guaranteed physically impossible to pick up the virus from a delivery package, but it's a very low risk, much lower than other infection vectors most people will be exposed to. Unless you're planning to hermetically seal yourself into your home for the next 8 weeks, the risk is probably so low it's not worth thinking about.

> Bad grammar can subtly affect the effectiveness of communication

The type of grammar that gets corrected is usually not bad to the point of causing misunderstandings. Simple things like "could care less", "would of", etc. Every once in a while there's a mistake that's so bad that it makes things ambiguous, but that's not common. And it's not what these annoying bots are replying to in any case.

> I don't see how this is derailing at all

These bots can devolve into linguistics discussion, etc, that's not related to the linked article or self text at all. And in reddit's case, there are "meta" bots that respond if people respond "bad bot" or "good bot" to a bot's response.

> Grammatical rules don't exist (solely) because someone decided to be stuck up for no reason

Grammatical guides existing does not mean advice is always welcome. I say guides because a lot of supposed rules are prescriptive opinions, and there's no arbitrator that can deem a rule to be "correct". English does not have a language council, unlike French or Korean.

Before AWS or other similar service, you'd have to use shared hosting with CGI scripts. Here is an ad from 1998 [0]: it says "200 MB storage, 6 GB transfer, CGI access and Own Directory, $13.95/month".

The CGIs was not speed daemons, but you could easily sustain 0.5 request/second (~43,000/day). So this is still way way cheaper than DApps.

Intel has a great set of papers; the idea is to store a few of the semi-transparent pixels in a texture, then overflow to a storage buffer as needed.

https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1014547/Adaptive-Order-Indepen...

Especially at around 15:06 they make a great argument that above a certain limit, the net effect of additional pixels is minimal (because they will be blended behind a significant fraction of the whole picture, so just mushing together a few semi-transparent pixels at the _back_ of the stack is reasonable).

The problem is getting each pixel's data as small as possible so the texture doesn't overflow the limits of texture sizes in GPUs - typically mobile devices have a limit of 128 bits per pixel in texture sizes. Also, mobile devices don't really have enough GPU RAM to do this kind of order independent transparency on the 4x anti-aliased framebuffer.

After solving the above problems you're ready to spill some pixels into the storage buffer (again, because most pixels on the screen don't have 8 semi-transparent pixels in them, so spilling to overflow for the few ones that do may be faster than trying to keep it all in the texture). Now you're ready to do something like this technique.

Hi Gabriel!

I'm Max @ulidtko, I took over Guake maintenance from Lincoln, did a dozen patches, l10n merges and maybe one release... Together with Pierre we welcomed Gaetan years later.

I'm still using Guake pretty much every day.

It was amazing to contribute, and having burned out from it -- to see the project live on with people continuing contributions & maintenance; and even reaping BountySource rewards for new features!
https://github.com/Guake/guake/pull/1415

Really sorry for this situation. It somehow slipped through, I honestly didn't notice it happening. I don't think anyone wished you anything bad, it's just generic inexperience (per the Hanlon's razor).

I, too, remember myself fiddling with copyright lines in translation files. I just had the single goal, to iron out inconsistencies and make adding new l10n's as smooth as possible. Never had intentions to take away credit from noone.

Glad to see you living full life. Sorry again; I'd be among those whose should've noticed and reverted that change. Hope you got a good enough resolution of this issue!

Cheers

Risk Impact Assessment in Disaster Recovery: Where to Start
But measles wasn't a pandemic! Everyone keeps thinking this is about individual risk and trying to downplay things, and it's not like that.

Our grandparents went to measles parties because they knew that they'd eventually be exposed and wanted to do it under controlled conditions where they knew treatment was available and had a plan for early detection of symptoms.

The situation with COVID-19 is that people who get sick are going to do so in an environment where they and their government are surprised as "how fast it grew" and where all the hospital beds (and oxygen masks, and ventilators, and intubation kits, and doctors, and nurses, and...) are going to be filled by other sick people.

And a lot of them are going to die, who didn't need to if we had just taken this seriously and not told people "it's just like measles".
