No professional epidemiologist is going to announce a prophecy about exactly what's going to happen, but they can all run the same numbers, and those numbers point to a global pandemic. There's some hedging in their statements, but they're both saying this is serious and the numbers are pointing in that direction.

Nobody wants it to turn out that way, but failing to prepare for that possibility would be a grave error.

We aren't only arguing about how much money is going to have to be spent, we're arguing about how the money is going to come from shareholders, or customers, or passengers, or the tax payer.

If you think this isn't an argument about money and who pays, I think you misunderstand why we are here.

There is no other reason we are here, than money. An unwillingness to incur cost, or cause customers to incur cost, that made other choices of provider more attractive drove Boeing to make decisions which now will cost money, to them, to the customer, and probably to everyone else at large.

Now I'm curious. I thought collision avoidance generally meant giving each machine a more or less constant allocation of 1/N of the total bandwidth, efficient when every machine wants to transmit all the time, but in the usual case where traffic is unpredictably bursty and most machines are idle most of the time, collision detection is in practice better. But you say collision avoidance is strictly better. Why?

For you, not for anyone actually working with the language. Which again points to the test being entirely irrelevant for the stated purpose.

>Keep in mind that a lot of us are not Americans and don’t know or care what trump is saying.

I'm also "not American" (I'm Scottish) and so shall continue to keep the fact that a lot of us are "not Americans" in mind.

That being said, "it’s quite possible that the Virus spread will stop as the weather warms up" implies the weather is going to "warm up", which is only relevant in the northern hemisphere. Half the planet is going to cool down.

More importantly, the CDC (yes, a USAian source), recently stated ""At this time, it is not known whether the spread of COVID-19 [the illness caused by the coronavirus] will decrease when weather becomes warmer." so asking for data, or at least why this statement was claimed as "quite possible" is very reasonable.

Finally, you claim that things will die down "based on prior coronavirus outbreaks, e.g. mers, sars" - here is a (peer reviewed, with abundant data) paper claiming the exact opposite of what you are claiming, specifically: "This study provided some evidence that there is a higher possibility for SARS to reoccur in spring than that in autumn and winter."

I think you'd have a better line of argument if you pointed out that neither of the two explicitly stated "millions if not tens of millions" of people will die. I'll conceded that's true, I haven't yet seen a top epidemiologist explicitly state so. However if you take one of the lower estimates of the death rate (0.5%), and apply it to their infection estimates, you'll get millions dead. If the WHO's official 3.4% CFR announced a couple days ago holds or increases, we'll see tens of millions dead.

[0] Once enough people have died (tens of thousands), countries will get their act together and start doing proper quarantines, social distancing, and hygienic controls.

I think a random high school student who has just finished AP Computer Science should be able to read my Swift, at least when the task itself is not complicated. Maybe not all of it, but I think it's a failure if they can't get the gist of it. (Interesting anecdote: I have gotten emails from people who have translated some of my Swift code which talked to an API endpoint I reverse-engineered to their platform of choice. They knew what at GET request is, but they were familiar with was JavaScript or Kotlin or whatever–but they were able to make use of code written in a language they couldn't write. I think that's really great.)
I believe they run the tests multiple times and get more accuracy from the repeated runs.

One issue you have is it's difficult for everyone to see the same line condition. There is always a small chance you'll see a collision anyways. When the network gets busy that small chance becomes no longer small. And every time you have a collision you have a retransmission. Eventually the network begins to thrash.

What I've seen with wireless stuff is simple algorithms can only get you to about 20% network utilization.

Free software K interpreter:

https://bitbucket.org/ngn/k/

Arthur's K interpreter isn't actually that expensive for casual use anymore (it's free for most non-commercial use and you can download it off the Shakti website pretty easily), though. Not that I'd recommend it: Arthur's a genius, but nothing's worth using proprietary software for.

What I usually recommend for learning the paradigm is J, largely because it has far better resources than anything else in the space. J's labs are wonderful, and the books Ken Iverson wrote before he died (all available for free) are great both for learning the language and also for learning many other things.

GNU APL is nice, and by no means am I trying to diss it: it's just not the best for learning, in my opinion. Its info pages are really nice though, like most GNU info pages.
Not mentioned in the article is that the K programming language is used for kdb+, which is a fast in-memory time-series database that's heavily used in the finance industry for securities trading systems. I've worked with it a tiny bit, but the pros are all Dark Wizards.

> How is that not the definition of a function or a method?

It basically is and that's the point. With SPA's you generally structure it so your entire app is just a function. The same cannot be said of traditional server/client apps which consist of multiple moving parts (PHP backend / jQuery frontend) which do not have an explicit contract with each other, you're just taking shots in the dark hoping your jQuery selectors match up with what the PHP backend spits out.

> Deterministic in what sense? It’s output? It’s input?

What? There is only one sense in which something can be deterministic, which is given the same input you always receive the same output. PWAs are generally deterministic because they're just functions that take an input and give you back a DOM. Non-PWAs are non-deterministic because what you ultimately see can change depending on what generated HTML the server gives back, despite being given the same user-input, it can also change based on unrelated side-effects, for example, imagine you have some jQuery feature that resizes an element, and another one that changes it's background-color. The behaviour of both features are non-deterministic because the outcome of each depends on implicit state accumulated externally by the other one.

> Bad code exists on any language. Looks like you’re comparing bad code/coding practices to good ones, that’s another thing and completely irrelevant of the language.

This has nothing to do with languages, it's about project architecture and programming paradigms. The classic webserver+jQuery type architecture is inherently imperative. Of course it can have little islands of functionally pure, declarative code, but the overall software architecture is still imperative.

In a nutshell, traditional non-PWA software cannot be written in a fully declarative paradigm due to their nature, every non-PWA app on the web is intrinsically a jungle of imperative code, making assumptions about accumulated state. PWA's are generally written declaratively, where all state and dataflow is explicitly managed, and output is deterministic based on a given input.
Nice to see Brad making a dent in a completely different domain, after having had a successful video streaming company.
Not really. In both cases what matters is whether the products were manufactured, shipped, and delivered. The latter case is actually more beneficial, since it implies that factories are running, people are working, and at least some products are being successfully shipped.
Offshoring is a matter of perspective. From most IT orgs the current situation is exactly this: software and services are made by integrating stuff implemented by suppliers in foreign countries and foreign language speakers (mostly english).

I do think it's puzzling that SV companies don't do more offshoring to eg European countries where SWE salaries are so much lower but lots of talent exists and there is a dearth of interesting product companies.

But would it really be bad for SV engineers? Maybe it would just make the SW market hotter, just like the mainstreaming of open source boosted paid SW work instead of hurting it.
