That's true, but also a reflection of the whole WebGPU standardization process. It tries to be low-level enough to be performant yet still human writable. I agree it's tricky, but just because it's hard to formulate the concrete goals doesn't mean that there is nothing to discover.
Both of those are examples where it’s typically possible to work from home while ill. That I realize can be a pressure everywhere. There’s a difference between being pressured to work and being pressured to come to work.

It’s the second that is counterproductive.

If it’s the deadline day and you can afford three people to be off next week so long as the one sick person comes in this week, then it’s a conscious tradeoff at least. But in general it’s short sighted and counterproductive, not to mention rude to coworkers.

> Accelerated healing.

Clinical trials of products designed to accelerate healing are so difficult to do that few products are developed with such an endpoint. Your own experience may satisfy you, and that is great, but it's extremely difficult to set a baseline against which to measure any speed up in "healing".
Easier but factories are unfriedly to WiFi with all the giant metal structures, high,medium,low voltage power cables, emi noise from motors and VFDs, etc.

WiFi is more difficult to troubleshoot whereas Pretty much anybody can use a cat5 cable tester.

And there are already cable trays and raceways going to all of the different equipment because it uses electricity.

So in the industrial processes I’ve been involved in radio was only used outdoors and when communications cable would have had to have been strung up on poles.

Reliability and ease of troubleshooting are characteristics industry values more than labor saved running cat5, in my experience.

I implemented a streaming deserializer for MessagePack data in C for small microcontrollers. It is quite small and not complete.

Then I tested it with test data streams generated by the reference C++ implementation and Python implementation.

It's actually kind of a pain, because the C++ serializer generates a variety of different data types depending on the values you are packing, not the type of the values you are packing. Let's say I encode a uint32_t field. The stream might get a uint8, a uint16, a uint32, or even an int32 (for reasons that completely elude me).

Also, C++ strings come out as the 'ext' type while Python strings come out as the 'string' type, so I have to accommodate both, even though they are both basically byte strings.

So, I want to tell the deserializer what kind of output field I'm expecting, for each struct member or array, and then look in the data stream to see if there is a data object there that came from the same type. But this is impossible, so the per-type decode functions have to be quite complicated to handle a variety of types.

So - it works but I can't do much on the deserialization side to verify that the data I'm unpacking really matches what was encoded. I can only detect very broken cases, like when I'm unpacking a uint32_t and in the stream there is an int32_t with a negative value.

I guess this is mostly done for optimization, but two things would make it a lot better:

- if the spec actually specified how data types in different languages were allowed to be encoded

- if the encoded data contained _two_ type fields, one indicating the original source data type and another indicating the type it was encoded into.

Basically the spec is just way too "loose" to make it usable for the use case I'm trying to use it for, which is to easily generate data that is sent to a micro and stored in EEPROM, then deserialized out of EEPROM later.

That's probably not very close to a use case the original designer had in mind. But I haven't found anything that works better (less decode logic).

Yes, of course they do now -- I interpreted the poster I was replying to as suggesting that hospitals keep this on hand at all times.
Southwest usually has good deals when traveling from SF to Chicago (MDW). Having that directly wthin Google Flights is pretty handy!

There's plenty of reasons to believe that businesses will take precautions themselves to limit the spread of the virus internally

It's not even on their radar. Not too long ago, a major university hospital in the Southern US held a town hall on the coming plague. It was an embarrassment. Several times, members of the audience asked about sick leave, in case they are under quarantine or have to care for dependents. Crickets from the leadership.

What is going to happen is that hourly support staff will drag themselves to work sick - that actually happened at an Atlanta school, a substitute teacher collapsed at work with Coronavirus and had to be taken away in an ambulance - and will spread disease to those lucky enough to enjoy better benefits.

Where is political discussion about this threat to public health?
Exercise part of that solution is much more expensive than almost any pills (if they'd exist). 2h exercise a week at Valley tech salaries ($150/h) might cost you ~$15000 in time per year.

Another way to look at it is in 40 years it will consume two entire years of working full-time.

And that does not include cost to go to gym like transportation time, change of clothes, etc

To reemphasize: the president fired the chain of command for handling pandemics and did not replace them. There is much more detailed information out there on it, but even Snopes rates it as a "True" https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-fire-pandemic-team/

Considering CDC recommendations have been overruled at the executive level (HHS/cruise ship repatriation, which may have caused the CA cluster due to insufficient planning and training) and recommendations about seniors flying, it's reasonable to assume that chain of command is broken, not that the CDC itself is.

>The absolute and unquestionable reality for millions of workers in the USA (food industry, customer service, transportation, and many others) is that they have zero paid sick leave and are also subject to work requirements

I don't doubt that - but I'm asking for numbers because I also know that some proportion of supervisors even in shitty jobs are understanding enough to offer sick days. And just as in this current system some people are understanding enough to give people time off, under legislation there will also be some proportion of people who ostensibly are doing nothing illegal but indirectly pressure employees not to take time off - the same way people often accumulate vacation time from the same pressures!

That's why I'm legitimately asking for numbers. Because neither case is going to be black or white. Laws are hard do undo and frequently have unintended consequences. Some things are better solved through social reform, if they are necessary at all.

It's like the oft quoted idea that millions of Americans are struggling working multiple jobs to make ends meet and this requires some form of price floor - but if you look at official BLS reports, less than a couple percent (can't remember exactly) are actually in this state. For decisions which affect millions of people, numbers are everything.

I would have agreed with you already until I read the above sentence. Having a famous programmer isn't really a great reason or argument to adopt yet another N + 1 web frameworks. Sure, some have reasons to exist but appealing to authority is hardly any valid reason here.

Even that aside, if everyone were to adopt this by the time it reaches v1.0, someone will complain via writing a Medium blog-post and introduce another web framework on top of Redwood or introduce some other improvement for Redwood but as a fork of the project rather than a contribution back to Redwood.

Here we go again.

> Another thing to watch out for is that fractional shares can't be transferred; they must be liquidated if you want to switch brokers.

What happens if I buy .5 shares of AAPL every week for 53 weeks? Do I have 26 undivided shares that can be transferred and one half-share that has to be liquidated, or do they treat it as 53 half-shares that all must be liquidated?

If the latter, seems like a great way to keep people locked-in. But the former could be a headache for basis reporting, especially if you could transfer to a brokerage that doesn't natively support fractional shares.
Is that equivalent to the 'rocket equation', where each tanker is analogous to another stage on the rocket? (You spend increasing amounts of fuel to get the fuel out to where it needs to be transferred in to be then burned.)
But none of those reasons matter - the "why" that insurance is tied to employment doesn't matter because it does and affects this situations reality, right now. Apologizing for that "why" doesn't change the situation one iota.
How far should scientists take this principle? If a political party decided to take the view that this whole thing was no big deal and that big events in key geographies shouldn't be cancelled, should public health experts stay out of it because it could make people ignore their other recommendations? Experts should offer their views and the burden is on us to be open-minded, regardless of our ideologies.

There's a separate point you make about what things can and cannot be done in this moment. But that's not the original point made. Most of the "politics" recommendations could in fact be done during this time. Some are even being discussed, short-term.
Don't forget all the code to support A/B testing.
I believe author intended buffer_len to be the length of incoming buffer (size of HTTP payload, number of bytes read from file, length of the database entry, etc...). So the worst that can happen is that entire input message is consumed -- like a JS payload which missed closing quote.

Apple and Microsoft investigated the possibility of specifying WebHLSL tightly. The main concern was that it's a ton of work in terms of semantics.

At the same time, SPIR-V semantics is fairly well specified, so we as a group figured that the familiar syntax of HLSL is not as important as the proper GPU behavior and our time specifying it. We've yet to see if it was the right decision - we might as well get stuck with discussing the syntax :)
Epoch floats and doubles are not good for timestamps, as the further we get from 1970 the less precise they become.

Current precision with a 32-bit float (JSON/JavaScript are 64-bit usually, though in non-JS it's common to use Bigdecimal in slight non-compliance) is much worse than one second.
It might be a naive question, but if you buy shares through Robinhood then don't you just own those shares? It might take some time to transfer them to your preferred broker, but I don't understand why you'd lose anything in an insolvency. Plus any cash you had would be held in a customer account, so again it's simply a matter of dividing up that cash between customers according to their balances. (Note: I've never used Robinhood, so I'm assuming they're a regular stockbroker with added Silicon Valley hype, rather than something else)
Reply to generalpass (here because replies weren't enabled to their comment for some reason)

> For example, it doesn't state that you can't purchase health insurance across state borders - also a fact and also contributes to increased prices.

That is true, and there are many other facts it doesn't mention, it is not an exhaustive review of contributing factors...

> The reason that insurance is "tied" to employment is because only a company can deduct health insurance on their taxes.

That is true but irrelevant extra information, the virus doesn't care...

> Building a new hospital is nearly impossible due to, among many other regulations, being required to get permission from other regional hospitals before building a new hospital. This both increases prices and reduces the number of available beds.

That is true, how is it relevant?

All these facts aren't relevant to the discussion the article is introducing, about how the "US Labor and Healthcare Policies are a Perfect Storm for Pandemics"

If what the accounts say so far is true, most people aren't ready to accept what maintaining some perspective means or lack some serious virtue.

Even if you yourself aren't vulnerable, you're potentially screwing up people's lives. Not just vulnerable elders, but also doctors who, for better or worse, are unconsciously taken advantage of by requesting them to overwork themselves in poor conditions. The alternatives to not having them overwork are coordinated efforts (which increases contamination, and requires serious coordination that hasn't been shown in Italy yet if the stories are to be believed) or simply leaving people to die. How many people do you think truly understand the consequence of their actions and would willingly continue to do so with full knowledge?

And for what? Some abstract concept called "economy" that 90%* likely won't feel a thing of? Isn't it at least a little ironic that we aren't allowed to panic about corona, but are allowed to panic about anything potentially affecting the economy 'negatively', which just as many people don't know anything about, including tons of self-proclaimed experts?

No, that would not make any sense. SQLite cannot deal with structured, hierarchical data like the stuff I described in my comment.

Also, I am talking about individual documents that already live in a database such as PostgreSQL. I can't store an entire SQLite database in a single column.

Maker here! I've wanted to see Southwest rates on Google Flights for a very long time, but they've never been there. Last week, my friend and I decided to take matters into our own hands and make them available via a chrome extension.

It was both fun technically-- intercepting Southwest requests & scraping data out of an iframe-- and even more fun to poke around all the deals once it worked. Hope y'all find it useful!
That's some nice insight. Actually, I'm the author :) Would you mind if I cite the whole thing in the post section of the article?
So you disagree with the WHO about the current CFR?
You're assuming you would get it no matter what: you might not, especially given the precautions that are being taken. And there's a non-zero chance of dying. Assuming you're in a low risk age group from 20-50, you have, at minimum, between a 1 in 500 to a 1 in 250 chance of dying. Sure, you're much less likely to die than not die, but those still aren't odds I'd play willingly.
Svelte is not like other frameworks. The core is basically one thing, which is to generate code that updates components when data they depend on changes, just like you would do it yourself when not using a framework. There is no runtime or shadow DOM or anything.

That means you can write in a more functional style: input data -> output HTML+CSS.
It's not driven by Apple, please double check your sources.

> India's leading telecom operator, Reliance Jio Infocomm has developed its own 4G and 5G technologies ... Jio is probably the first company in the world to make such a move.

According to The Economic Times, the disruptive telco is set to take its chaos to another segment of the industry; network infrastructure. Although trials are still taking place, the confident claims suggest the telco could become less reliant on the traditional ecosystem and could create more of a commodity-based supply chain.

“We are more scalable than these vendors and are fully automated since we have our own cloud-native platform,” one insider said. “In 5G, we will totally be self-sufficient. We can give the design, layouts and board support packages to third-party manufacturers to have our gear made.”

Viettel, the largest mobile operator in Vietnam, has outlined bold 5G ambitions which go much further than mere network deployments and high-speed services for its subscriber base ... The operator reportedly is working on its own core 5G technology, with the aim to develop 80 per cent of the tech at home by 2020. Local media say it has invested millions of dollars to develop 5G chips and devices.
