I think Julia, Mathematica, and Matlab aren't too bad, but have never had too much luck with Haskell despite spending time reading many blog posts and an entire book. APL was MUCH easier for me personally to start doing real things with quickly. Maybe because my experience is almost entirely with dynamic languages, I don't know. Point is, readability isn't an absolute. Haskell is easier for you, but APL is easier for others too.
Did I say that?

I’m responding to your assertion that this is a simple open and shut case legally and she has zero recourse. You don’t know the facts and I suspect you’re not attorney. You have no idea whether that’s true or not.
This was referenced in today's press conference by Dr Birx [1]:

> ALL OF THIS INFORMATION CAME FROM A PAPER THAT DOCTOR FAUCI PROVIDED FROM THE AUSTRALIANS. FIRST AUTHOR DALTON. YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE THAT INFORMED EACH OF THESE GUIDELINES, BUT WE WILL BE PROVIDING THAT THIS EVENING IN GREAT DETAIL SO THAT EVERY MOTHER FATHER CHILD SON DAUGHTER CAREGIVER WILL KNOW PRECISELY WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO ASK FOR.

I was struck by this part because it seems phrased in order to be part of a public anti-disinformation strategy. Odd, coming from what seems like the COVID19 office of disinformation-in-chief. Regardless of many prior bad acts, this is a good move by this administration. (also note a clear big headline on https://www.whitehouse.gov/ that links directly to CDC's COVID19 page).

The briefing's countless mentions of "under the President's leadership" bits sound like needless Dear Leader worship.

Coming up with an idea for something, and then sharing this idea with other people in an open manner, can plant the seed that germinates the execution for that idea.

To me, that's part of the reason why thought pieces are valuable to me. Also, unconventional tracks at academic conferences, like provocations at DIS 2020 [1] (which I cite here since it's on my mind because I'm personally applying to it right now).

Same way you defend a regular reactor; razorwire, bollards, and armed guards. Just because its built into a cargo container doesn't mean you just plop it down and you gtg; there's still minor infrastructure you have to build it into
Are retailers willing to fund their biggest competitor? Probably not - Walmart built their own cloud to avoid using Amazon’s.
Which makes you wonder what the numbers in the U.S. would look like if we actually had any testing.
I never suggested in any way that these diseases were similar.

Why did you ask which question when you devoted a paragraph to answering it? It feels, and this is just my personal opinion, that you cannot read but you like to hear yourself talk. If that’s true, and it probably isn’t, then you either like to attack people for narcissism or you are just easily confused and embarrassed by it.
These days my toughest eyewear challenge is getting an optometrist who's patient enough with my sensitive eyes to actually get the right prescription.

Hedge funds trade gains for consistency. They don't publicly report numbers though and aren't meant to be public funds (that's what ETFs are for) so it's hard to get full stats, but it's common knowledge in finance.
Having recently been through this, I appreciate the push to support small business in what is a confusing and stressful area of administration. Inherent support for distributed teams is also a nice perk.

As others have mentioned, the high cost of individual (e.g. Marketplace) insurance is one obvious drawback that remains. Even with 1 non-owner employee you can get better rates through e.g. simplyinsured.com

However, the monthly recurring cost strikes me as high. The major emphasis seems to be on setting up and picking a plan; to be slightly cynical, is this just the SaaS-ifaction of what would otherwise be a one-time setup fee?
Half of people do better than average...
Stupid question: why do you want to cool a reactor anyway? Isn’t their raison d'être to be hot to generate steam and run a turbine?
Most of them are using your connection to sell access to residential proxies: oxylabs (NordVPN), luminati (Holla) etc.
I just watched this Everyday Astronaut video about stainless steel vs. composites, which mentions WD-40's use in aerospace. It's an entertaining, informational video. https://youtu.be/LogE40_wR9k?t=305 (jumps directly to the WD-40 reference)
Learn C the Hard Way is considered by the community to be, not exaggerating, one of the worst C books ever written.
I actually want a spec that is similar to Apple's Mac Pro, there should be Zero Cables.
One of my local grocery stores has these mobile scanners and I strongly prefer it. I’ll go slightly out of my way to hit this store instead. While I am loathe to give Amazon more data/consumer insight and see this as massive consolidation play, I suspect people will, once accustomed to it, totally normalize this and not look back.
And that's also why you can't do it with small, high-demand products such as AirPods (at least in the stores I've been in).
The greatest trick the ruling class ever pulled was to convince their subjects to revere the arbitrary and capricious rules they created to enforce their rule.

This story is better titled "Gen X-er has very Gen X opinion." Which should tell you immediately that it doesn't matter what was said, it matters who said it.

But that brings us to the question: why is CNBC reporting this luke-warm hot take from that person? Nobody needs more ammunition to argue that kids these days are just faffing about. That's been the default stance of the over-forty set for millennia, and millennials have put any doubt to rest.

It's not because Elon Musk pointed anything out. He didn't. It's because he doesn't have a solution for the problems with post-secondary education. (Well, maybe he does, but CNBC sure as shit didn't quote him on that part.) It's very safe to have a mainstream opinion and when the guy the media tells you is a genius repeats your mainstream opinion back to you, then you get to feel smart for having a boring opinion. That warm and fuzzy feeling distracts you noticing the article stops there. You're diverted away from wondering why: if you can see the problem, then why the fuck isn't the article even thinking about the solution?

Yes, I know the article pretends to get at substance. But that's a con. Pointing out the hypocrisy that Musk's own companies want Bachelor's degrees isn't sticking it to him or advancing the conversation; it's confrontationally agreeing with him. If the author thought degrees actually mattered, they'd argue the point that the kind of work Musk is hiring for does demand a degree. Not highlight the seeming contradiction.

And of course the writer thinks degrees are worthless, they have a Master's but spend their days reporting on pedestrian ramblings from Musk.
Do people typically die of diagnosed flu? It's my understanding that most flu deaths are undiagnosed, which is why the CDC's ranges for flu deaths are always so broad; they're estimating how many pneumonia deaths they think were caused by the flu season.
I think the rule of being the "idea guy" applies to Ted Nelson as much as it applies to anyone else.
China’s current status is impressive but it’s come at enormous cost which is unsustainable in the long run. And it’s unclear what’s going to happen in the long run as China opens up workplaces and public gatherings, and as international travel and commerce resumes. It may very well explode again. Some countries will get a handle on this for now, but many won’t, and it will continue to spread globally. It might take months, it might take years, but it’s not going away.
Technically yes, but in a practical sense the distinction is between bugs that can be fixed globally and instantaneously by pushing a server fix and those that can't.
That aligns with what I said, although there are plenty of private hedge funds that don't report their returns. The benefit varies for each client.

An example would be a real-estate company that has holdings in a fund. Preservation and low volatility is far more important than raw gains and can be used as collateral to offset losses in physical property valuations.
I would learn Java first. It's very easy to learn very poor programing habits with PHP. Yes, it's easier to learn but longterm it will be harder to move forward. Especially since developers need to continually learn new stuff.

I would learn C first since so many languages are based on C and the move on to Java. You'll want to take shortcuts ,don't. It's best you define a structure on how you will learn new stuff from the start.

Here's something to think about.

I've learned that you need to set a schedule and get out of the house to get things done.

So, here's the actions to take:

1) Decide what you want to learn.

2) Make a plan on how you will achieve it.

2a)Find a learning source

2b) Define a project that you will create. It does not have to be unique.

Unless you have something in mind just copy something or someone.

2c) Set a deadline. It should be relatively short. 1 to 1.5 months. Don't try to learn everything.

But make it a challenge.

3) Find a place where you will study. Not at home and it should have limited internet access.

4) Set a schedule. Maybe, every day from 6 to 7

5) Set 1 day for study and the next day for action and review and work time on your project.

6) Follow thru

The big key is that you need to get out of the house and you need to keep a schedule. It's very hard to stay disciplined at home.
> It's no kind of racism at all.

The political situation in Italy has been an absolute powder-keg of not-even-casual racism for years now, not unlike some areas of the UK. The "political boss" of those two regional administrations I mentioned, Matteo Salvini of Lega Nord, tried to scapegoat Asian communities pretty brutally at the onset of the epidemic, with the usual result (Asian-looking people being shouted at in the streets etc).

We now know that the European "patient 0" was likely from Germany, so these right-wingers were left with egg on their faces and are now running around like headless chickens - just yesterday Lombardia asked for more rigorous lockdown measures, whereas Veneto was asking for the opposite. So I get pretty pissed off at the strenuous attempts to go back to the original talking points about discrimination of entire ethnic groups, particularly when Italians abroad (a category that includes me) have to suffer the same idiotic attitudes at the moment.
Huh. That's pretty cool. I've only seen (and used) the Molex to whatever-that-connector's-called adapters, which is indeed what I used in my Threadripper build about a year ago.
It’s not optimism that stocks will only go up, but it’s optimism that they won’t suddenly go up or down by too much, which is generally to be avoided unless you’re a trader.
You could make a proposal to the C committee to add a keyword `_Nullptr` and to add a header `stdnull.h` which has `#define nullptr _Nullptr`, like they did with bool.
I think Rice's theorem is a big hammer here: it's equivalent to the halting problem because one can just test extensional equality of

given M: simulate M; return 1

and

given M: return 1

Or is it even true of extensional equality for _total_ functions?
Older high-end monitors with CCFL backlights could easily draw 130W. Dell's 30-inch model from 2008 was rated for typical draw of 163W and a max of 250W (when also powering speakers and USB devices).
You are assuming fund managers want to maximize returns for investors. That is not the game they are playing at all.

Fund managers have pathological incentives. People won't hand them money if they say 'I'm going to just hold this money as cash for the next 1-5 years until the market goes completely irrational in a way that I can make you 5x returns, but in the meantime I'm going to charge you 2% per year on the balance'.

They have to put that money in to something or they won't be given money in the first place.

Secondly, funds play games with the money, because investors are not sophisticated and there is a ton of dumb money in retirement accounts. People look at the past returns and choose funds that have a high past rate of return. Fund managers know this, so they set up 15 funds with different strategies. One of them has a high rate of return, by luck, while 14 do much worse. Then they expand that fund 10x by quoting that high rate of return.

Fund managers can make more money by not optimizing how much money they make for you, if you measure them by how much money they get paid to manage other people's money you'll see they are playing that game very well.
Why not convert to linear sRGB (with higher bits per sample) instead? Something like what PNG supports for 16-bits. Does that give incorrect results too compared to going through CIELAB?
Lots of techies have lots of money and assume everyone else is as financially secure as them and just able to walk away from a bunch of money when their employer fucks them over.

Lambda has been documented screwing people over. Of course they'd screw over their own employees. It's their modus operandi.
When I was in my younger university days, I ran the juggling club for a few years. One of our favourite gags was to “flashmob” a grocery store and juggle various fruits between each other. We’d gradually bring more and more of the supposed onlookers into the act, culminating into perhaps six people juggling 30 fruits.

I really want to see how they handle _that_ edge-case!
Off the top of my head, I would secure something like this with a heavy perimeter fence (plenty of designs available) 200 yards from the vessel, a barbed wire fence 50 yards further out and located 1 mile from anything, with a hard zoning restriction. Worst case scenario, this is successful beyond your wildest dreams, cities grow up around them in the desert, and you have cities pock-marked by 2-mile diameter holes full of wildlife.

The other bit is as acidburnNSA said: don't. Build it to fail safe.
I'm not sure how this would work. Surely they must have to contact the card company to process the payment as soon as it happens since they have to show the accepted/declined message before the customer walks off.
CIE recommend the use of LAB for paints/dyes/surfaces, and LUV for displays.

I don't know why. I just know they do.

If I had to guess, it would be that LUV is designed for additive mixing, and LAB is not, but that is a guess educated by some dimly remembered early highschool physics along with 4th grade art lessons.
If the reactor produces over 1 MW for ten years, approximately a zillion times.
The Linux kernel uses lots of macros, many of them with lowercase names that are barely distinguishable from function names. Given the quality of that codebase, I think not using macros is a bit silly.
I fail to see how planting evidence crosses a higher moral barrier than killing someone.

By the way, in both cases, the person who makes the decision genuinely believes, probably on wrong information, that the person they are entrapping is evil and they just lack the right evidence

So I don’t buy the argument that they would lose they sleep over what they did.
The efficient market hypothesis says you will never find money on the ground, because someone will always find it before you.
Did anyone go to jail in the Ford F100 side impact fueltank thing?
Yeah, and I don't use grocery discount cards either. But doing it via camera gives a ton of data beyond just what I buy and when.
Honest question about those status emails. When do you find time to read them if you're literally in meetings all day?
Ah, "live coding" -- I didn't know that term. Thank you!
First time I encountered this in the wild was years ago when my sister, who worked as auditor, approached me with a problem she hoped I could help her solve. She would often be given a spreadsheet full of values and she would have a target or aggregate value she was trying to match. Could I write a script to find the set of values from the spreadsheet that would add up to her target value?

Piece of cake I thought. After a couple hours of fruitless coding I realized some research might help. After a few more hours of googling, I finally figured out the name for this type of problem. Actually, I first came across the term "subset sum problem" which led to "knapsack problem". That led to an introduction to the concept of "nondeterministic polynomial time".

Eventually I found a diophantine algorithm someone had written in Rexx and managed to translate it to Python. It worked! Sorta. (I was surprised by how many different matching combinations a random set of numbers could generate for a given value.)

By the time I returned to my sister with my solution, I think she had found a Excel plugin that did it for her.
Please note that Lombardy has a very very good health service. The OECD put a score on this [1]: 9.9/10. This is in the top 5% across all regions.
Other european regions seem to have lower average scores and their governments are not taking serious actions. [2]
How the US is reacting from my perspective (italian confined near Rome) seems borderline madness.
Something about this situation confuses me a lot.

I'm a big fan of these rules. Although Super Memo has been superseded by other software like Anki, the inventor is a pioneer of spaced repetition. His tips are valuable and really improve my own cards.
I don't feel it was transmitted 10x in ten days. Those people were already infected. Otherwise, you'd have to wait a couple weeks for them to become symptomatic to know to test them. (Unless they are testing everybody, and the 10x included people that weren't symptomatic).
They share most of their code.
Well yea, I guess the underlying trueism is that "its turtles all the way down" in all things. We like to act like over-arching things (safety) weigh higher, and so we speak like the decision to go for safety isn't an economic decision, but in truth, it always is.

Free software has costs, so its not like FOSS is outside this loop either.

Once you start modelling everything in cost/benefit terms, it all gets a bit odd. I think "because I want to" looses out.

But in Aircraft design, and regulatory oversight, I think we might want to shift the knobs on the control box a bit.
> If you need to retire in the next five years, you should already have started moving out of equities. It's too late to change that now.

This is still a great time to reallocate your money. The SPDR fund that I invest in is still about where it was 1 year ago.

It hurts me to say this, but that's what happened in Wuhan for the first few weeks.
You are right about the leakage. The final decree places no restrictions on traveling back to residence, and even admits self-certification of other reasons for traveling.

I am not sure you are right in assuming the leakage was unintended, though. If they wanted people to run, the effective way was to force a choice under the imminent and vague threat of being trapped in the ‘red zone’.
Any chance you could describe chromatic aberrations? I’ve had some vision frustrations, and I feel like perhaps you’ve just described what I have. So did sticking with the thicker lenses help? Rather than the thinner? (I have a very high prescription as well, and I’ve always had the thinner lenses.)
Seriousness of wuhan virus was known since end of January, but stock market ignored it completely, raging into all-time highs till February 20th.

In fact US Army did design nuclear reactor that can be shipped in two 4TEU intermodal containers (design of the thing is highly RBMK-ish) and then managed to deploy that and cause nuclear accident with casualties(in the sense of personnel being pinned to the roof by reactor control rods that were somehow ejected out of the reactor)...
My guess is that’s what happened, this is coming out of management fees.
I've always thought of it as "the Skyrim problem", since it's precisely what you do in any RPG with tons of loot and finite carrying capacity

My mental algorithm is:

1) Set a value/weight ratio above which new items are picked up

2) If I run out of space and find something above that threshold, start dropping the worst-ratio'd items to make room

3) Raise the threshold accordingly

4) Repeat
Many of them are from Zhejiang province of China, and since the outbreak in Italy, Zhejiang now have 7 "imported cases" from Italy.

>only Google has the resources and motivation to measure the potential impact.

And apparently they have judged the impact less than folks who think $6000 is too small.
it not really a ten paragraph statement:

Masks work, but healthcare workers need them more.

I think a seperate and perfectly valid question is if public consumption of masks has had any impact on the health supply chain.

My understanding is the two are unrelated. Masks are had to come by because manufacturers are selling their entire capacity to hospital and consumer stores are not being restocked. The state and the fed (in the US) have tens of millions of masks, and are releasing some but not all of them to the hospitals.

Hospitals are not competing for the masks at hardware stores or amazon.

If anything, I wish the media would urge people to wear masks with lower ratings than N95.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. Catching even half particulate when an infected person coughs would be huge.
Do you mind explaining that? If you increase the brightness of a color space like RGB or HSL, the perceived brightness color increase is different depending on hue.

This is why CIELAB was used, because like the linked HSLuv color space, you can increase brightness across hues with the same perceived brightness shift.

The fact that CIELAB can covert to RGB values outside the usual range is fine, e.g. negative values are fine in wide RGB color space.
The market not bouncing back doesn't necessarily imply Armageddon. Just look at the Nikkei.
SSDs all have their own power management chips to manage their onboard voltage regulators. The flash memory itself is usually operating with 1.2V and/or 1.8V supply, and the SSD controllers are also in the neighborhood of 1V. Approximately nothing inside a modern PC uses 3.3V or 5V directly. Feeding 12V directly to the SSD won't make its power management circuits any more complicated or expensive, but it does get rid of the brown-out problem M.2 (3.3V) has with high-power drives.
I have my own solo instance and people still try and tell me what I can and cannot post on my own damn server.

Just block them and give them no mind space.
I think part of the problem with an approach like this is it seems sweetness itself triggers a whole path of biochemical processes that are unhelpful [1].
