In the economically prosperous portions of our nation, inflation is doing just fine. Housing prices have performed phenomenally in the past decade. The overall CPI understates inflation because there's a great number of areas that aren't economically relevant in the U.S. and consequently haven't experienced the accompanying inflation.

I assume the meeting of the "number" stated here is an estimate of how much wealth would need to be invested in a stock portfolio to yield 1500/month net of taxes and inflation, without needing to trade time/labour for income.

Pretty reasonable, but without knowing more about OP's situation, advising someone asking how they can earn more income on the side to earn it by having $1m wealth invested in the share market may not be the most immediately actionable advice! A bit catch 22 if the current problem is "not enough surplus income".
If you are skilled at what you do, you'll survive unscathed, in the long term. Those statistics about people earning less in aggregate (that graduated during the last recession) are true, but you don't have to be the average employee. If you work for it, these forces working against you can be overcome.
> Memcached doesn't pander or resort to marketing to achieve a userbase (compare to redis/labs)

I think this is pretty unfair to Redis. Redis has a lot more features (tell me which ones you think are pandering, and to whom?), is free for the vast majority of what people want to use it for, and the attempt to make some money through Redis Labs is pretty recent in the scheme of things. If that helps with the continued development of Redis I have no problem with it.
My condolence. I graduated in May 2001 post bubble. A lot of my friends had their offers withdrawn by the time they graduated.

I started a small dev firm in lower mid town manhattan instead. Then 9/11 hit that year.

I know kids that graduated just a year prior actually ended up doing quite well overall. But class of 01 and couple years following, I think jobs were harder to find.

Best of luck. I think timing may still be on your side, but I feel sorry for kids graduating next year.
From 2007 forward (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 companies I've gone through) when using git, developers looked at the history infrequently. A couple times in the (#6 company) where we spent 3 years to create a js framework from scratch and a mobile web offering of the HUGE office toolsuite. Most of the time, it was to back out changes or bisect, which requires a revision history. You almost never need it, until you do, mostly for local and your own branches. Features tagged in commits with JIRA support covers the vast majority of needs. Extended comments are useful to explain individual goals for the commit that make up the feature.
Sure. It's up to the engineer implementing said app to determine the best fit for the project.

Besides doing my taxes on paper, I can't think of anything more tedious than filling out tax forms via a vanilla HTML form.

At least my SPA tax software makes the form filling a little more exciting, and doesn't s#!t the bed when I hit enter by accident
While I don't want to take anything away from memcached, I'm puzzled by the swipe at Redis. Whatever marketing you're referring to, Redis supports some pretty useful data structures that make some pretty common query patterns trivial (eg top-N queries) and does it with a small, elegant core of some of the most readable code ever produced.

Memcache OTOH is a fairly simple KV cache. It seems to be pretty decent. Neither of these supplants the other however. Hence my puzzlement. It just seems out of place, unnecessary and doesn't really add anything.
Yo, this test is so hard!
Personally I wish more forms did have enter bound to submittal

It also has a large false negative, see the posts i replied to
Tests like this have false positive rates that are significant. The test may be a useful tool when we already reasonably expect someone to test positive (showing symptoms plus contact with a known case or travel from an affected area).

However, if you have no reason to believe you are infected, a false positive might easily be more likely than a true positive. And in fact, even a very modest false positive rate would still make it orders of magnitude more likely than a true positive.

Consider that even if you assume the worst about the state of the virus in the US, it's probably a few thousand people. If you randomly tested every person in the US, and the test had a false positive rate of only 1%, you would have thousands of times more positive results than real cases. Someone else in this thread mentioned an existing test that might have a 40% false positive rate.
Seems similar to the approach used in palo alto, minus the RFID tech since you can directly put into the recycling bin.

I found the number 480,000 deaths (only U.S., not a global figure) circulating on sites including Daily Mail, Business Insider, /r/China_Flu, and abc14news.com, a domain registered in late 2018 and may or may not have any relation to ABC News the company.
I'm going to reply to myself to expand on this with an interesting topic... The fact that Ethernet was originally designed to behave similarly to a wireless system (specifically ALOHA) has important implications on the actual protocol. Essentially, layer 2* addressing in Ethernet only exists because of this design. In today's Ethernet networks, layer 2 addressing is unnecessary and it's quite possible to use only the layer 3 addresses - we could call "layer 3 switching," which is now a standard feature on commercial managed switches, an example of doing so. However, the L2/L3 addressing split has turned out to be very useful in some situations (mostly wireless networks, on which Ethernet is based!). However, it also has a lot of disadvantages, and introduces almost comically unnecessary complications to some software-defined networking (e.g. for many VXLAN setups we need to assign pretend MAC addresses to all our peers so that we can use the kernel's bridge plumbing). This is a very clear case of the now-gone history of the protocol having a huge impact on shaping how we use it today. At the same time, there exist devices that still communicate directly over Ethernet frames, something that wouldn't even be meaningfully possible had Ethernet not been designed to run on one shared media. Fortunately these devices aren't very common, because they're a real headache in a world of equipment designed to handle IP.

*I always hesitate to apply OSI model labels to the IP suite, because IP was not designed according to the OSI model and does not comply with it. However, the OSI model labels are so common that it's hard not to. That said, the OSI model can quickly become more of a hindrance than a help when we start doing things like IP-over-IP.

I don't know what the criteria for recovery is. My impression is there isn't much of a international standard and so the inter-country comparisons aren't that useful. Iran might have a higher recovery rate but that might be more an artifact of how they measure this.

In all other measure, South Korea is doing well. Avoiding death is much unambiguous a measure.

Edit: Yes, because Korea has experienced an exponential increase in cases, most cases in Korea are "new" but this is true for most other countries - though countries where they only find cases by people dying might be different but not in a good way.

Edit2: Also, it is true that Korea's lower mortality is likely partly a product of Korea's widely testing and finding asymptomatic carriers. But this is also a good thing since it allows Korea to get these people to quarantine and lower the transmission rate, hence the declining rate of infection there.

k is perfectly readable. That's like, one of the biggest points of the post. The post mocks the mindset featured within your comment.

None of the languages you listed are quite as readable as k to someone who knows it.

The big problem seems to be,in addition to a 3%+death rate, that at least 10% of the people that show symptoms will end up in the hospital. There's a point where the medical system will start to fail. The goal should be to minimize exposure and hope for a fast vaccine development.
What in JavaScript are you using to take the place of a server side database?

Your comment seems to imply that the only options are SPA or WordPress..

If you are building something that would normally need to be a desktop app, sure, an SPA might be a good idea. But this is still rarely the case, most web pages are just are just presenting data, and in those cases, the less JavaScript the better.
Your remark is probably underappreciated....

I worked at Goldman Sachs for many years. There was a particular, successful, sales md there. I realized that one of his 'skills' was to ask everyone for something. Not some kind of exchange, or quid-pro-quo, just "can you do X for me", "can you give me Y". If you were gullible enough to do it for him, good for him. You could expect no consideration in return. It's one of those behaviors that worked out well for him, but I found it incredibly unctuous and couldn't bring myself to do it.

In a related way, I remember reading that "hustlers/fraudsters' strategy is to make the situation such that it's impolite for you to say 'no'" Similar idea to the above.

Not parent but Rust definitely makes you think about a lot of important aspects of memory management like lifetimes and references and ownership and stuff. In fact, it makes it impossible not to think about them: they're enforced by the compiler.

Those mechanics are pretty important but Rust definitely lets you program with values on the heap as well, it just does it in a strongly-typed fashion. I will agree that smart pointers are generally easier to work with, particularly with things like deref coercion, but Rust is philosophically closest to a language like C++ but with a stronger type system, memory safety, and lots of footguns removed.

I think Rust gives someone a better basis for learning and writing C than probably any other modern language.
Don't people have low level symptoms basically all the time? Like if you add up all the times your throat feels a little bit sore, or nose is a little bit stuffed or you cough a few times a day or you have a bit of a headache or you feel a little bit lacking in energy... That should add up to like half a year.

So I'm not sure if what you are proposing is realistic.
> Svelte components compile to vanilla javascript plus a small runtime

Same could be said of React though. React components are literally just plain JavaScript functions which return VDOM nodes that get diffed and applied to the DOM by the runtime library.

The only objective advantage I see to Svelte is it's tiny footprint, which if you really need you can already get by using Preact (3kb vs Svelte's 3.5kb) without having to learn yet-another-completely-arbitrary-templating-language to no benefit.

Ryzenfall and Masterkey together provide a complete break of the PSP authentication with arbitrary code execution if you are running a vulnerable AGESA.

You will of course have to flash downwards to a vulnerable version but it should give you what you need. Also, as this was fixed prior to Zen2 then you wouldn’t be able to test their newer chips.

Basically AMD has a buffer overflow in a SMM call and they conveniently signed an empty PSP module payload that will be executed nevertheless.

Well, let’s see. We did hackathons and competitions with nearly all employees in the company and many of the hackathons resulted in products or internal changes that went on to live in production and help grow the business. I had stock in the company, as well, so my improvements to the company could impact my own money.

It remains the best company I’ve ever worked for. Small and my opinion and actions actually had real impact to core features of the company, so :)

Worth it, I think.
>You need experienced engineers to create performance no >matter what your domain is.

Actually the funny thing with HTML is that the simplest things are fast. If you just write a old school HTML web page without a bazillion frame works and not going too heavy on graphics things are usually fast.

And doing that is literally so much simpler and easier than learning all the super complicated frameworks of the day.

So it's a progression from initially fast for simple, to slower and slower as people learn the complicated (and slow) frameworks, and then eventually maybe fast again if you have an expert who can make all this mess fast again.

Most people never reach that expert stage of course, but sadly still leave the "easy and fast" stage.

> Maybe this should be called "lower-grade".

As far as I can tell, what the article means by "lower quality" is "processed as by-products instead of as primary food". Which means they're going to be less healthy because they're not processed with the same level of care and attention to cleanliness and other important factors. That's the issue I have. (Well, that and the issue of what the animals that will supply the products are fed on--see below.)
