I honestly don't understand why this needs to be a service. Isn't it trivial to implement with an SMS API like Twilio? I could probably implement a random number generator -> SMS push -> store in my DB faster than I could read the docs of a 3rd party service like Cotter.
While our first variant is focused on Kubernetes and EKS, we have designed Bottlerocket in a way that new variants can be built that work with other orchestrators, or even without one (we have ECS support on our roadmap already). Also, we really enjoyed working in Rust for big chunks of this!

So you have tens of thousands of people, who all have been in close proximity, now exposing their risk to their family. And if these college students have any elderly family members, that could pose a serious risk.

By forcing people to go home, rather than shelter in place, everyone has increased contact with others and public infrastructure where the virus could be.

On the minister: At least he could get tested. I personally know a person who has the symptoms, has been to Rome and has been denied a test because they were no registered citizen in the Netherlands (Stundent from another EU nation).

Edit: maybe she fell victim to a overworked callcenter operator, who told her the wrong reason why she wouldn't get tested.

Very exciting!
It protects those at risk, the elderly and people with some preexisting conditions (eg. asthma). So probably some of each plus all the people in the area who fit the criteria.
Well, in my case, I was actually more worried in early February, when I did not believe that authorities in Austin, TX where I live, would take it seriously. However, they have in fact cancelled the SXSW music festival, so that we don't have thousands of people flying in from all over, mixing their air in planes, then spreading out throughout the city to breathe each other's air in packed venues.

So in this case, the fact that the authorities are starting to panic a bit, is reassuring to me.

Also, aside from not going out to big events myself, it's not like there's much I can do. It's not "quit your job and head to the hills and live off the land" time, yet, and other than washing my hands, not going to music festivals, etc. there's not a lot I can do.
915 MHz goes a lot farther than 2.4 GHz.

At very low bit rates you need very little SNR.

There is probably very low noise out in hiking environments.

Yes, attenuation due to terrain is going to be a killer, but my experience with non line of sight 900 MHz links blasting through trees leads me to believe it would be workable for low bit rate data between a series of hikers along the same trail.

It is sending only location and text messages so intermittent link status or re-tries due to temporarily terrain/foliage obstructions will not cause degradation in service that you would experience trying to watch netflix over this mesh.
> Most of these new frameworks are not suggesting you run the app in Docker.

We talk a lot about bad science, so I would guess that the opposite of that is what the author may be talking about. Which is probably a good idea, since bad science sucks and it's getting more air time than it used to.

"Better" could probably even be quantified in a helpful way if desired.

Politics are just another human factor. Stimulus and response. Can also be quantified if addressed situationally. As a catch-all it's a low-leverage descriptor though.

I like that the author is at least talking about this. It could lead to a system-level improvement.

> models that reflect reality

Or models that elegantly allow for multiple perspectives while contributing to a desired outcome. Reality when held up as an accountability target opens up a bit of a can of worms, starting with the subjectivity question: Whose reality? Or which reality? Humans are remarkable in their ability to create, entertain, use, and appreciate even conflicting models of reality.

Many people seem to believe that name calling in the form of "toxic loonytoon" was key to this decision.

Toxic people exist. We must be able to discuss our opinion that someone is toxic.

"Loonytoon" is indeed a gratuitous insult, but a very mild one. Silly, even.

It doesn't make sense to me that OSI would react so strongly and dramatically to such a mild insult. I suspect there is another element to this which no one is discussing.

You're twisting my entire argument around. I did not say anything about the market fixing itself. Intel did a lot of things to prevent the market from fixing itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel#Litigation_and_regulator...

Legislation has nothing to do with "underdog" or marketshare. It has to do with anti-competitive practices regardless of the party. The same laws would apply to Intel or AMD regardless of their market share.
I started walking as part of a weight management strategy, when my team noticed I was doing these walks we started doing 1:1s on walks rather than in the office. They were much better.

I find it easier to think things through while I walk so I added a recorder app to my phone so that I could verbally take notes while I was walking in order to not forget things that I had thought about or thoughts that came to me on the walk.

It has been a very productive change, not to mention it helps with managing me weight so definitely a win.
Let's be fair, you are actually paying extra for elastic capacity. I.e You expect to have a 2nd Server Ready when ever you need. Not to mention the Cloud is suppose to add a little redundancy, so in case your server fail you could switch on another in an instant.

So in reality I will always times the cost of server ( over X months period ) + colocation / month by 2.5. And Double that to give them Margin for support etc.

That is roughly 5x the cost. And in most cases seems to be what AWS is charging for.

Not saying I agree with their pricing.

>In what way are dorms worse than personal homes for diseases anyway? Are they not trusting their students to prepare their own food? Why don't they just close the dining halls instead?

The dorms have shared bathrooms, often shared rooms with doubles, triples, and quads, and shared living spaces (lounges, study rooms, laundry, etc.) in addition to the dining halls. Moreover, in our dorms, we have effectively no way to eat if the dining halls close down. Since mine has a dining hall for us to eat, it has only one kitchen for the entire dorm, which is ~500 people.

Edit:
It's also worth pointing out that MIT students are at very low risk right now. Sending us all home before we're at a medium/high risk level is the right move, so students aren't bringing it home with them. Nobody on campus has tested positive yet (as far as we know), and once it reaches the campus it would spread like crazy. Better to preempt it and send us away now.
> Also, we really enjoyed working in Rust for big chunks of this!

You need to have the space and privacy for it. Let us assume you discuss important/private things during a meeting. If you work in the middle of the city, then talking about such whilst outside might not be the best place.

If your office is near a forest or something, then it makes more sense.

Heck, we don't even always have privacy in office meetings due to lack of space.
She - just FYI
Plenty of high risk individuals are doing just that. Even young people with immune deficiencies are at risk and are making these decisions all by themselves. But just like there is herd immunity in vaccinations there is a similar effect at work by simply ensuring that fewer people have the disease in the first place. That ensures that the chances that someone with an immune systems issue or simply an older person is limited and that when they do contract the disease that there is room for care if they should require it.

This is all about getting rid of a huge tsunami of people for which there would be no care. Once the situation normalizes or there is a vaccine it all changes. But right now we are simply utterly unprepared to deal with this at this scale, and fixing that will take time. Even high risk individuals need to eat, and need visitors. Quality of life, especially for people in such high risk groups is already hit hard, the least we can do is to try to make it easier for them to get the care they need should it get to that, at relatively little expense to the rest of us.
> Someone made your coffee too hot? Sue them.

I don't necessarily disagree with your overall sentiment here, but I always feel the need to point out that this is a really bad example of a frivolous lawsuit. That lady's car didn't have cupholders, which was pretty common on '90s cars, and the coffee was hot enough to fuse her labia together. You can look up pictures; it wasn't pretty. She also only sued for medical damages and nothing more, if I remember correctly.
I would have flunked out of Caltech without constant "troll sessions" with fellow students in the dorm helping each other understand the homework problems.

Dawkins is failing there.

Yes, we breed animals and direct their evolution.

In all his examples, the animals are more fragile and less able to survive independently than they were before.

That is pretty much the opposite of what eugenics aims at and is exactly one of the problems it is criticized for.

Colorado has too. They said "I would assume that with testing ramping up it's no longer productive for the state to keep the number of administered tests count on a website as it will always be outdated."
Is this an argument in favor of unjustified magic constant arbitrary priors?
After some reading, I've become slightly more sympathetic to the theory that flattening the curve via early dispersion is a good idea since students would have to travel anyways in May.

That said, I really do believe there could be several potential carriers on campus. Here are some reasons why:

(1) There were still large events and gatherings, like the Bitcoin Expo.

(2) Especially notable, large lectures were not canceled until very recently.

(3) Testing has been incredibly hard to do via campus medical services. If cases are identified later, I'd imagine it'd be under-reported since students are young and testing is hard.

(4) The carrier who was on campus a few weeks ago was in a very high-traffic building (MIT Sloan) and there was no timely warning of this.

But yes, I do actually see the merits of early dispersion now and understand the point you're getting across.
I think there is a lot more uncertainty in the US because of how slowly the testing has been progressing.
Hans (the lead designer) has been quoted a few times saying the production version will surpass the stated figures in every way.

You don't see the irony in sending students home to their parents when some of them might be asymptomatic, right? Or if they catch it during travel?

The correct method of action here is to tell professors to stay home and students to stay put. Not to tell students to leave and travel! That's absolute madness.
How to write good quality Python code with GitHub Actions
To me it highlights one of the big failings of markets, which is that a tool/credential/innovation only has economic value if it's used by some but not all producers in the market. Once it becomes universally adopted it becomes an opportunity for rent-seeking by the producer of that tool/credential/innovation.

In some ways this is the great strength of capitalism, because it provides an incentive to adopt innovations that helps overcome the status-quo bias that most humans have. But it also encourages firms to restrict access to their suppliers and tear their competitors down rather than building everybody up.
> To improve security, there's no SSH server in a Bottlerocket image, and not even a shell.

So, the main feature is that updates happen for all packages at once and not for each package individually. Sounds interesting, even for non cloud setups.

How does that work? The explaining image does not explain that. How is that different from rolling back on file system level?
"and Boston has some of the best healthcare in the country."

I hear people say that all the time of all sorts of places, but what does that mean? Does Boston have (beyond some baseline) more respiratory aid machines than other places? More virus or respiratory system specialists? Better or more nurses? If they do, why? It doesn't matter if they have a bunch of world class brain surgeons. I'd imagine the area would have roughly the same level of materials and skills in this specific domain that other big developed areas have. I wonder what makes people so sure about the specific capabilities of all the areas they claim to be (much) better than other areas.

I don't know where you work but at most--if not all--of my jobs this sort of internal discussion can be somewhat common when things get heated. We hurl epithets about outsiders when we get frustrated, and sometimes speak strongly not unlike what ESR said.

Would that kind of language/dialog be tolerated if it was directed at other people present or on the team? Or towards stakeholders? Of course not.

Of course, our discussions don't get immortalized on a public mailing list for every interested busybody to critique, and that does change the dynamic a bit...
>This is strange. Isn't the travel they are forcing quite possibly a cure worth than the disease?

Many (most?) students already travel for spring break, so this shouldn't result in much more travel than usual. I imagine that is what motivated their timing on this.
If it can't be evaluated independently it's not science. At all. The defining feature of science, as opposed to superstition and recieved "wisdom" is that you don't have to take it on trust. (If it's merely difficult to evaluate independently, it might be legit, but you should still be suspicious of it.) Publication bias is admittedly more a problem.
Then, ask. Again, simple. Problem solved. Why do y'all want to make these things so hard? It's not that difficult to say "are you okay with a walking meeting?"

> I've accepted the fact that my brain is just not wired for software development.

Whether your brain is wired for it or not (and I do believe that it takes a certain type of person to be good at it), that you've actually accepted this as truth speaks volumes.

Perhaps the thing to do is find another specialty? The software development field is vast, with many specialties inside of it. Web development, embedded systems, business software, etc. It could be that you'd thrive in one of those specialties. Or it could be that you're in the wrong profession altogether.

My advice (which isn't worth much) is to take stock of yourself. Being painfully honest, list out what your skills are, what your interests are, and what things and environments you can't stand. Then start looking for either a software specialty that corresponds well with your list, or an entirely different field that does.

I'd also recommend visiting with a career counselor for help with this process. Your community college very likely has some available.
You're wrong. It's a mistake to treat terrain and foliage as the same thing. I have extensive experience with 3 completely different, narrowband and wideband, 902-928 MHz radio data systems as well as just playing around in the range with my software defined radios (hackrf, rtlsdr, etc).

902-928 has almost no advantage over 2.4 GHz when it comes to line of sight issues with terrain. In fact, it's more problematic due to the increased size of the fresnel zone. Sure, it does better through trees but a slight rise of ground is just as much of a problem for 915 and 2400. The freq here isn't helping much. It's the chirp and LORA modulation helping the link budget. But no line of sight is no line of sight.
JSON is mostly used on the web, and with HTTPS, where compression is disabled.
Yes, comments tend to be turned over time into hints, directives, etc, etc, etc.

But that doesn't change the fact that people put comments into machine protocols.

For another example, lots of machine to machine protocols specify XML. Such as SOAP. They therefore all support comments.

In accord to the general trend, eventually they get abused into having a semantic meaning. For example https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/wc111_hc/whc_en/index... shows how one system uses comments in SOAP to create documentation and a WSDL that lets interfaces to your code to be automatically generated.

And so comments eventually become executable. But that doesn't change the fact that comments can exist in machine to machine formats.
Also, there is no confidence in our government to react swiftly these days. So we are forced to assume the government is non-functional, which generates a lot of speculative behaviors. We'll find out if any of it works, but it will be hard to unpack for a while.
Which is the question I keep throwing but without an answer. The EPYC 2 was previewed in early 2019 and I would not be surprised if All three major cloud provider has had samples since.

I wouldn't use the term "eugenics" for that; I'd use the term "breeding". Part of the problem is that the eugenicists got their scientific breeding ideas mixed up with their nonscientific racism ideas.

Agree with what you said afterwards, though: Meticulous coders probably are less likely to write bugs. But that will be true regardless of the languages they choose or prefer.
