As a devoted emacs addict, I can attest that plan old emacs is also pretty slow and clunky, though I could easily believe spacemacs is even worse!

My dream editor would combine the flexibility of emacs w/ the speed and quality of sublime.
What you are missing is the underlying point, the us has massively failed to organize and execute a good testing program. The country that spends by far more than other countries per capita on medical care (already well know as a big waster of money because of lesser outcomes), that has an advanced and extensive public health network, it failed to create and provide testing kits for the virus, and with much less resources South Korea (and Taiwan and Italy and almost every other country that tried) did more than 100 times more testing.
> But what does that have to do with a legitimate and effective use of his geolocation data? Again, a murderer is caught because of it. And then the same police department fucked up and ruined a legitimate and justified but innocent suspect's life.

There is something fundamentally wrong with believing that the ends justify the means in these cases. As has been said, "[i]t is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer." [1]

But cost effectively? Even with free H2, seems the CH4 is expensive to produce.
You’re entitled to your opinion, but what GP is saying is factually correct.
No. This is written ambiguously. It starts with

>As the virus continues to spread nationally

And then the numbers are listed as

>80% of the population may experience mild symptoms, such as fever or flu-like symptoms that they treat at home

If it were as you say, they would write x% of the infected population, or something to that effect. Then again, given all the incompetence I've witnessed lately across the news, it wouldn't surprise me if they ambiguously wrote it by mistake.

In any case, you'll note that China just shut down it's entire industry for two months over this. That's not something an authoritarian state does lightly. Especially considering it may, say, make it obvious that sending all of your production offshore to China is a national security threat.

Edit: Italian Prime Minister just made a 2AM press announcement of the Isolation of Lombardy. That's 16 million people. We're approaching the right ballpark here. 8% of the Iranian parliment have confirmed cases. Two are already dead. This is everything we've been warning you about.
Seriously, even Hydrogen is now to be remade but now using rust?
This rust advocacy is getting too far-fetched.
> "opinionated"

I feel this term might need to be officially dead and buried. If something as customizable as emacs is deemed opinionated what does this even mean? For chrissakes there are people that consider emacs to be a better vi implementation than vim.
I use it to find more detail about a particular line. Often knowing when something was added, who added it and what was the commit message helps me understand the reasoning behind some particularly weird or legacy code. In some projects this can lead you to a pull request link, with even more context.
OP here. Badly phrased? The report clearly says expect 10x the number of hospitalizations you'd get from the flu... or am I missing something?
Just wondering, why is TAOCP or SICP (as mentioned in a child) essential? I've always considered reading them since I hear about them all of the time but I could never really relate it to the work that I do (around distributed systems and storage). I'm sure the material in the books is useful, but are these books must-reads?

In databases, there is Readings in Database Systems (http://www.redbook.io/). I wouldn't recommend it as an essential to all engineers and researchers, because one would be better off spending their time learning practical skills that apply to their job (relevant tools, protocols, etc.), gaining a broader understanding of CS, and exploring general topics (work/career, teamwork, enjoying life, etc.).

In the same vein, it feels like SCIP and TAOCP go too far in-depth into topics that aren't that important to everyone. I rarely see the topics in these books pop up in the research papers that I read (though I mainly read systems ones). I definitely don't see them when I'm building REST services or Javascript frontends. When I check on the Table of Contents in these books, I never feel like reading a chapter in the book would have saved me a ton of time in the past.

As a result, I've concluded that they a good intro/intermediate CS reference for people who'd be interested in the research/theory side of things. Still, I've seen them recommended so much that it bothers me. Have you all seen anything in these books that truly makes them required readings?
that's because `run_in_executor` doesn't spread CPU usage. All it does is wrap functions in threads so you can call them async. It doesn't create multiple processes so you're still limited to a single core in Python.
This is nothing but an ad for app which doesn’t even exist yet. Nothing of material was said in the article itself.
For sure. And unlike comments or documentation, it never lies.
Apologies if this reply seems a little pedantic; your reply is mostly correct, but there are some large shortcuts.

MIFARE is not a card type, it's more a family of cards in the 13.56MHz space, produced by NXP.

There are multiple cards under the banner of Mifare, including:

- Mifare Classic 1/4k - UID + Storage space, with individual keys and crypto. Suffers/ed from multiple vulnerabilities. Used mainly in cheaper hotel access systems, gym cards, etc etc. Can be secure, if your security layer relies on strong crypto on card contents, as opposed to the crypto of the card itself. There are no counters in Mifare Classic.

- Ultralight / Ultralight-C / Ultralight EV1
These cards are low cost, reduced storage space, and are / were conceived specifically for the transport industry. They have 'one way' counters that can be used to deduct 'credits' - but these can't be re-written - so they fulfill the task of discardable tickets.

- Mifare DESFire 3DES / EV1 / EV2
The EV2 is the latest generation - ID + Storage + "Applications", with AES encryption. The 3DES was cracked with side-channel power analysis (like the items in this article) - but the EV2 has no practical attacks to this day.

Information aside, most transport systems do not store value on the cards, but allow for offline use by forcing sync the next time the card passes by an online system - IE, limited trust.
Wow. Those machines are something else altogether. I watched a chip making clip a while back and I recall that they talked about having to make strange patterns in the stencils (not sure what they’re called) to work around the way the light twists when it actually hits the die. I’ve probably got most of that wrong but is that still a thing with the addition of the water layer?
Hmm, no mention of edge-notched punched cards - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge-notched_card
If we don't slow this we will overwhelm ICUs, but your math is all wrong. You assume every single American is exposed, every American contracts the disease, and every American develops symptoms at exactly the same time. That is flatly wrong.
Doom emacs I think demonstrates that have you can something all around nicer both form and function than spacemacs with absolutely amazing performance. My emacs install on a Sandy Bridge toaster with hundreds of packages configured is ready to go in about half a second.
> The price war should be won by the airline that can most efficiently manage resources and adapt different business models to provide stable service with fewer inputs.

And then what? Is that not a monopoly? I know the classic response to this is newcomers will come up with lower prices, but what if there's economy of scale, and newcomers just can't compete?
FOSS person too. Don’t see the lock-in problem here other than indeed using Apple products. While you do, making sure you don't have to give identifying info or bother with generating disposable addresses yourself, is actually a good thing IMHO.
All because Microsoft, the company that made formated text dangerous.
Emacs is fast and responsive in my experience, as I'd expect relatively small software to be; the old jibe was Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping, after all, but if your system can't devote eight megs of RAM to a text editor you've got other problems.

Are certain extensions slow? I won't say "no", because there's a ton of them out there, which is probably part of the problem here: My Emacs isn't your Emacs, my set of extensions and modifications isn't yours, and, therefore, my experience with Emacs isn't yours.

I don't find Emacs clunky, but I like chorded UIs and I know the basic Emacs workflow by muscle memory at this point. I can't say if it's clunky or not because my hands know it, so I don't think about it anymore. There was a time when I didn't know it that well, so it was clunky for me, but I would have gone through the same period with Vim.

My big reason to stick with Emacs is that it's stable. There's a stable core, composed of C and the core Emacs Lisp libraries, which is unchanging, so my muscle memory is never punished by someone deciding that keys should work differently now so we're going to improve all of them you're welcome. I can keep my configuraton files and my hands and everything continues to work, which seems to be counter to the trend of modern productivity software.
There are other browsers with significant market share on Android, such as UC Browser. The reason they have chosen Chromium as the base is because it is easier for them to build on it, and not because Google enforced it as a policy on Android.

That's an important distinction. Apple's monopolistic practices prevent better software from succeeding on phones, and I'm disappointed that Apple's anti competitive behavior is excused.

Note: UC Browser is a huge privacy threat and please ask friends and family to uninstall it. But the point still stands.
I'm from North Italy. I have read news about the definitive law and it's not a quarantine. It s a limited mobility act. It tell that you cannot exit or enter designated zones with many many exceptions... (you can if are returning to your home, you are doing it for job, if there is some kind of valid reason an so on...) With all this exceptions (practically impossible to checks on the real field) the law can be seen as only a raccomandation (and a political move) to travel only for necessity and not for entertainment.
It might be written ambiguously, but one should not interpret it to mean that 100% of people in the U.S. will be infected.

Especially when the "80%" is followed by:

> 80% of the population may experience mild symptoms, such as fever or flu-like symptoms that they treat at home

> 15% may seek medical care, such as visiting an Urgent Care or Emergency Department

> 5% may require critical care, meaning being admitted as an inpatient
The thing about Spacemacs many people don't get - it does not liberate you from learning Emacs internals. The good thing about Spacemacs that it simplifies one of the most challenging things about Emacs - discoverability.

The hardest part of Emacs is to learn what Emacs can do, what it offers. And many gems are hidden under so many layers, that people may not even know about them after decades of using Emacs every single day.

And Spacemacs can be fast and predictable. But you need to know where and how to tweak it to make it so. For the past few years of me using Spacemacs, I had maybe three of four incidents when after updating things, something would break in a way that it would take me longer than ten minutes to find a workaround.
> The researchers also noted that unlike the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities, the Take A Way exploits only leak a "few bits of metadata," as opposed to providing full access to data (example of Meltdown exploit here).

Not good and leaked information about the manner in which a process is accessing memory is probably useful to some attacker out there, but thankfully it's not even in the same class as the actual memory content disclosure vulnerabilities..
Did you work in an open office?
Here's the thing: most companies in Europe also provide private health insurance, almost double of those 15 days and more or less the same holidays (which are state defined and if not provided, must be paid at 150% to 200% the normal rate - depends between country).

This, of course, does not account for the entire gap in wages between both sides of the Atlantic, but it does weigh on it.

I think confirmation bias has a lot to do with it. Some people stress that they have invested in the "right" product.

They need to feel justified in their choice and it drives these crazy positions on CPU/GPU/Motherboard vendor.

I'm just glad we still have multiple viable vendors to choose from.
Very nice but fyi: most malicious pdf just contains links to something else,usually shortlinks. Social engineering is hard to mitigate.
sign in with apple locks you into apple's caprices, there is no way around that. Apple will know where you 're signing in , and you will lose access to your account if apple decides they no longer like the app, or they no longer like you.
You're missing the point and being patronizing while doing it. Regex search can only match package names. APT's flags lets it match on other attributes as well, which a simple regex cannot interact with.
If we don't reduce the current 'doubling every 7 days' growth rate, then at the end of the epidemic most of them will.
NPR. It even has podcasts they can listen to.
> No other country on Earth has originated this many animal to human outbreaks.

I am ignorant, what is the data here? Which animal-to-human outbreaks are we counting?

The top animal-derived epidemics I can think of would be: SARS and 2019-nCoV from china, H1N1 had mixed heritage, MERS seemed to come from the middle east, Ebola and HIV from africa. So, pretty spread out?

Also, China is substantially larger than everything else but India, so wouldn't this be an expected outcome anyway?
There are at least four possibilities of varying likelihood:

1. The cruise-line is trying to deflect doubt about their sanitation practices by throwing a dead guy under the ship.

2. The guy had something before he boarded but didn't realize it was COVID-19.

3. The guy knew he had COVID-19 and boarded anyhow.

4. The guy picked it up on the ship around the time that he boarded, plus or minus a few days.
Mozilla doesn’t embed an ad network in your browser!?!? Why would anybody want a browser that does this?

You can do whatever you want to do with Firefox. Enjoy the free blocking mechanisms, including fingerprinting, and install whichever 3rd party ad blocker.

Users understand the relationship there, so please don’t try to spin it. It’s not about user’s data.

You’re embedding an ad client into the browser. You want to sell ads yourself. Selling ads and controlling the browser is Google. That’s a conflict of interests.

Fascinating read, thank you. Another kicker in there seems to be bottom of page 2, start of page 3. They basically assert that now that the data has been taken down no harm can be done anymore and to top it off, suggest that presenting the findings a GovData conference because there subsequently is "no public interest" anymore.
Good move, this will push a lot of developers away from the app store, and back into making websites instead of apps. Having your user base locked in by apple is much more precarious than other sign-in providers who are nonchalant about rejecting/censoring developers.

As for the users opting in to have their emails directly relayed and read by apple .... i don't know what to think of it.
It’s actually worse since they’re clearly promoting it claiming it’s open source and it puts privacy first, which are better selling points then the fact that if comes with a Trojan horse in form of an ad network, clearly.
You’re right. If the 100k figure for beds is right, and each case needs to be hospitalised for a week, then we’ll be fine as long as we can drag the epidemic out over no less than 3-4 years.

Yes, but they may add other packages that break my machine by mistake later. If I know I want only one thing from them, I limit their capacity for later damages.
FYI that's choice-supportive bias, not confirmation bias.
If you're an established player, keeping essential assets out of the hands of new competition has value in itself. Example: when the Vons and Kmart from my hometown got together and opened a new shopping complex together, they both retained their prior leases for years, knowing that those locations were the only real estate in town large enough to house a real competitor. The fact that neither could utilize that real estate didn't make it worthless, and in this case actually made it more valuable to them: the town couldn't support multiple large retailers simultaneously, so any competition ran the risk of putting them out of business.

The same concept easily applies to airline slots, an established player that is at capacity on how many slots they can profitably use still has some incentive to keep other airlines out, because any new players will be tapping into their existing market.
There's a big difference between opening a random PDF and downloading code which you can view yourself on github, no? Or does your computer (from cpu microcode up) only run code which you have personally written and is not "from the internet"?
Since protein folding is “solved,” you can make pathogen proteins with wildly different DNA to fool algorithms used to identify bioweapons. No bueno because baddies can order nasty germs printed cheap! There are no bug bounties for bio bugs
Thanks for the post. Your post focuses on how to address a complaint once the organiser makes up their mind about it, so the remark that you don't discuss the validity of complaints misses the point - but nevertheless it is an interesting topic that merits discussion. People ganging up on others with exaggerated or false accusations is, unfortunately, more common at the work place than it should ever be. By not critically evaluating complaints we foster an environment where an important tool for cultivating work place civility is abused and leads to toxic behaviour. Going back to your example: how would you deal with a small yet consistent group of people who complains about a specific group of participants, eg. out-of-towners?
Seems appropriate at time like this.

You are comparing the best the US has to offer with the standard for European employees.

Here in Germany, you have health insurance, no student debt, multi-month paid maternity/paternity leave, 30 days of vacation per annum, paid sick leave, multiple bank holidays.

Notice how I didn't specify a company or location?

Because this is the standard for every full-time employee in the whole country, irrespective of location or profession.

The German model has two draw-backs: Pay never reaches the levels in the US and it is relatively hard to land your fist job. Also, some gig economy jobs fall through the cracks.

For an honest comparison and a complete picture, you can't take a software engineer from SV and compare it to a software engineer from Berlin.

At least not just.

For a complete picture, you should also compare a software engineer from Boise to a software engineer from Düsseldorf. And a call center employee from Oklahoma with a call center employee from Mecklemburg-Vorpommern.

The ones who "made it" will always be better off in the US. But everybody else, not so much.

On macOS, the PDF reader Preview.app runs sandboxed by default.

The Preview.app sandbox is not quite as secure as what is used by browsers such as Firefox or Chrome on macOS for web content, so there is probably still a benefit to viewing PDFs in the browser, depending on whether the browser or PDF viewer is more hardened against these attacks.
They didn't jack the prices up, they introduced significant friction to the market.

Which means the market for masks bought and sold by individuals is less efficient. This will likely leave more masks for pre-established supply chains, and reduce the incentive for people who aren't part of these supply chains to buy up (or steal!) masks for resale.

These are almost all rent-seekers: They aren't going to make more masks, just obtain them wherever they can get them cheaply (e.g. by buying everything from a supermarket that hasn't jacked up prices nor introduced rationing, or from a thief) and resell them for a higher price. This also often happens in circumvention of existing laws against price-gouging.
