I didnt take it as belittling. Its the one spot that's mine, with my desk, computer and filing cabinet. I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse. Have 3 kids plus the wife. Wife uses one of the bedrooms as her office (she runs a non-profit and needs more room than my occasional wfh) and the lids share the other non-master bedroom.

I'm sorry to hear the GP has to pay 3800 for a studio. I pay around 4400 for a 3 bed/3.5 bath townhouse w/ a 2 car garage in Chicago's suburbs; and I think what I pay is ridiculous.
It's not really complicated.

You cancel things until the virus is gone.

Not by a time limit.
For better or worse (or better in this case, I believe), I don’t know the famous dude. I won’t tell you my bonafides, either.

If you’ve got someone with a particular skill set joining your project, that’s great that you’ve got strong, additional perspective in that domain. However, this isn’t a sixty minute game, and no one is getting paid millions to hit a game winning shot. This is open source software.

I hope as an industry we learn to drop the theatrics and recognize our unique way of bringing value to whichever projects we contribute to.
Sure there cars available in the US market for under $16K. So what? The reasonable price is different for every customer.
First, to quote myself:

> Due to repeated Code Of Conduct violations two years ago I was banned from Drupal. This story is known and frankly, not worth a damn discussing it again. It’s only a background.

Second, let me state this extremely clearly and forcefully: it was better for the community and at the end of the day, for myself, to ban me at the end of 2016. It is absolutely pointless and a fruitless waste of time trying to dissect the specifics leading up to that (especially for people who were not part of the community and can't remember how it was -- and frankly, why should anyone remember? Almost all of this is 5+ years ago.). And despite it gave me an opportunity to grow as a person, it is still a wound that hurts prying into so I respectfully ask not to.

> We are now looking forward to Linus Torvalds to be shown the door from the Linux project

This was a joke. Nonetheless, Linus was seen industry wide as a jerk (again check https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/blog/2018/a-case-study-in... ) and a few months after that blog post, Linus stepped away for a month and a CoC was established -- how effective that all was, well, https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/13/1892 and for the consequences of such behavior see https://lwn.net/ml/linux-fsdevel/20200217001153.GE10776@drea...
GP was talking about processes explicitly in comparison to threads, so multiprocessing not multithreading. I believe this was related to their previous comment about the GIL making true multithreaded performance impossible:

> - The Global Interpreter lock - you can't avoid forking processes in order to handle concurrent python code.

> - Threads are cheaper than processes. A default java thread carries 2MB overhead, a python process for a typical app can easily be 2GB without very careful memory consideration.

And it is indeed true that forking can be much more memory intensive than threading.
If the disease is only communicable for a few weeks after a person gets the virus, and everyone hunkers down for a month, then it should seriously impede an exponential rise in infections.
Speaking as another German, fast food is used synonymously with "junk food" here, referring to either fast and unhealthy food (burgers, fries, "fish and ships" in the UK, Currywurst, everything greasy/fatty, etc), or food with large amounts of problematic additives, or fast and low quality stuff.

E.g. there is a tiny Vietnamese place around here that's very fast, but also very tasty, very fresh and reasonably priced (6-10 EUR). They are fast as "fast food", but lack the other "qualities" of junk food, so nobody around here would refer to them as fast food.

Döner (kebab) shops are somewhere in the middle. They offer unhealthy stuff (tons of - depending on the shop, low grade - kebab meat on a Döner for example) as well as a range of veggies and less greasy meals.
You will quarantine yourself but will have probably started spreading the virus before you knew you had it.
UCSB has joined that list as well.
Yeah, you're right. Point being there's less than a thousand sufficient beds according to the last thing I've read and 4ish percent of patients may need one.

Which was just a wham line for me.
Everything is normal now, that's the power of exponentials, things go from normal to crazy very quickly and the more people like you the quicker it gets there.

Everything in China was normal 2 months ago, everything in Italy was normal 2 weeks ago.
I think you overestimate how many people want to be there when career isn’t the driver. Everyone I know who moved to the bay did it for the job and gave zero fucks about the shit lined streets of the city.
I didn't say they would or should. Just that they will be able to.
In that case Kazaks should be petition to introduce a legally binding SLA for network performance in order for companies to qualify for the license to operate.
I'd argue the opposite. Being chatty and co-located means you are way more likely to interrupt your colleague in a period of high-productivity flow (or vice versa). Working remotely allows people to easily carve 4 hour period of focus (notwithstanding excessive meetings).
I assume they run it through a translator and back. Other ideas?

It's just to wash it for copyright.

It's actually a good business case for GANs (In the underground)
From what I've heard from health officials, it'll be at least 6 months before trials can begin on any vaccine, and 12-24 months before it might be available. Is the plan to ask everyone to stay home for the next two years?

As that page says, "Relative to Other Countries, US Labor and Healthcare Policies are a Perfect Storm for Pandemics". Small businesses in Seattle are already closing shop for good, in anticipation of the next month. I'm an hourly worker who depends on people going out, and I have zero upcoming work.

Social Distancing is an excellent short-term plan. It's not an end game.
>Pilot Sport 4S, which is what I usually run on the car I track these days.

Yep I have the same tires on my daily driver. I don't track though, too much of a n00b. I'll admit you're much wonkier than me on this stuff.

But I found the original article much more balanced with the negative and positive, and it did fully disclose that the car was heavily modified, where your comments imply that it didn't.

And I'm pretty skeptical that the (yes rare) road version of the F1 had no differences from the track version, but your comments didn't mention any, as if there were none. Which made me think your presentation of the facts is tilted beyond what's warranted.
I want to get a closer look at the Mach-E before I settle for a Y (already have a 3 as well). Saw the Mach-E in person at the auto show a couple weeks ago and it's quite good looking.
Ebola is certainly disastrous but the likelihood is unlikely.

Also you are being disingenuous. I said

>the risk impact of not quarantining as significant to disastrous and the likelihood as very likely.

which means I would classify it as very significant.

Regardless it doesn't change the risk rating.
Hygiene, social distancing, targeted quarantine, etc. There is a spectrum. It's not binary: normies vs hermit prepped.

Having had a compromised immune system I don't wish it on anyone. But hey maybe if more people were casual about these things then they too can learn the hard way.
All the more reason to tear it down and let the people trapped behind it leave.

Oh, you assumed we were on the same side of this fence?
What? Java String alone has close to 100 members and even without function bodies would be over 170 lines unless you put every method on a single line.
If the Earth was spinning faster would that mean that dinosaurs weighed less back then?

I know their mass would be the same but wouldn't a faster spinning earth counter gravity similar to how satellites maintain a stable orbit?
The individual risk is low, but the systemic risk is high. Please try to understand that. Health services could be overwhelmed if more than 5% of the population gets infected in a short period of time (at a 5% hospitalization rate).
GM has announced what, 22 EVs in the next couple years? I don't think they're in any danger of becoming obsolete due to Tesla. If anything, Tesla should be getting worried. When competition heats up people will start caring more about reliability, features, and looks.
This is the correct answer, it was mentioned in an AWS Cert training.
I believe there were lawsuits over IBM clones, way back when, amd the clones won, based on interoperability. Apis are software, not hardware, but you'd expect this to be the same, because of the same underlying policy considerations.

Sometimes courts uphold the letter of the law, but say the legislature should change it.
> If BMW made an electric 3 class sedan with > 350 miles of range for a reasonable price

Would they do this internationally? They are a luxury brand in America and moving downmarket doesn't seem to be their strategy or good for their brand.
Not directly related, but the Caltech rumor mill says that we'll following suit soon: since second quarter finishes in ~1 week, they'll probably make third quarter virtual somehow.
As it turns out, there's actually a potential case _on campus_ (which is, not gonna lie, kinda scary), so the affected individual's test results will probably influence what happens in the next couple days.
>I'm not going to prematurely ruin my life

>Everyone needs to RELAX

You need to understand how hypocritical this sentiment comes off as. Some people are panicking - however, most people and sources (that I am exposed to) are advocating for responses within the range of reason (and there is room for a range of opinions within the range of reason). If you want to spread reason, support the fight against price gouging and against people who buy far too much bulk supplies. But please don't tell random threads full of people to just generally "relax" in all capital, italic letters, while at the same time throwing out wild hyperbole like "I'm not going to ruin my life". It's a very mixed message.
Really!? Not my experience - was last in Europe 10 years ago - VAT tax made eating out more expensive.

I thought it was VAT tax. Everyone said it was VAT tax.
We might have to if Italy and China are any indication.
The idea of these radio mesh network things is great. The reality is terrible because radio waves need line of sight unless you've got a repeater. This is completely impractical when hiking, or in a city filled with buildings. They end up with crazy short range between devices and you need an implausibly long string of them to get from a person off the grid to a mesh point on the grid. The only exception to this being someone high on a hill with no bumpy bits of other hills between them and whoever has the other mesh point that happens to be on-grid.

Gotenna couldn't make this work with all their $$ because of the simple physics of radio waves. Yes they sell devices that technically do what they claim, they just fall flat on their faces when they encounter hills, or buildings... or anything that isn't flat.

I think if you want to make something that actually works, you should drop the "consumer" and make having a ham radio license a requirement. Then use the GPS to find the closest public repeater. Their locations are pretty well mapped at this point.

Use the most appropriate of the many ham radio digital packet systems for whatever wavelength you're broadcasting on and choose the appropriate part of the spectrum that is designated for digital packet use.

Also be a good radio citizen and try other frequencies if the current one is in use.

I understand that the ham license is pretty much a deal breaker for adoption BUT it's what's required to use the decent frequencies and access to repeaters. As this seems to be an open source kind of project and not a "hey lets sell bajillions" kinda thing, that seems like a plausible option.
If they make the test cheap enough, convenient enough, and in sufficient quantity, we can bring everything back online in a low risk manner long before we have a vaccine.
In fact, if you don't have to commute during rush hour, living in remote suburbs is the best of both worlds: you're far enough that the prices are low/rent is cheap, but the city is close enough to casually drive there off peak. Sure, if you had to endure 1 hour commutes one way every day, that would be terrible, but since you don't drive at the same time as everyone else, you won't have to experience that.
The total number of people getting sick is not reduced by that.

The drastic measures take in China seem to be working.[1] China had 507 million people in full or partial lockdown at peak. "In the Hubei city of Huanggang, people caught in public without a mask or wandering outside without authorization have to pay a 1,000 yuan ($140) fine, and a fee of 40 yuan a day for two weeks of “forced study” classes, which are conducted in a sports stadium with students seated far apart, Huanggang residents said in interviews." Tracking of travel from phone info. Tracking devices on people's doors. Followup by cops and local Communist Party committees to keep people in line.

New infections in China are dropping rapidly.[2]
Restrictions are being slowly lifted and life is returning to normal. Yesterday, the only new infections found outside Wuhan came from people entering China.

There's a good chance China will be mostly back to normal in a month, but with lots of testing to keep infections from getting going again.

ok. so instead of $20k, lets say $30k or $36k. If I translate that into AU$ the Tesla is $70k. Its twice that price on-road costs. its one and a half times the median wage in australia.

I am sure the median car cost in Australia is nothing like that much compared to salary.

Tesla cannot compete with 'boring' cars until it can deliver 'boring' prices. If the price in the USA is within reach of boring, great: Its not yet in the UK, or Europe, or most of Asia, or Australia or New Zealand. It requires substantial support in most economies, and there is no price support for EV in Australia right now.
It's copied not taken therefore is no theft. Unless the password is copyrighted I don't see what law the receiver is breaking, I think the gray area is when you pair usernames with the password but a password only list I don't see the issue. The only possible crimes I think are ones that have to do with either facilitating or conspiring to facilitate a criminal enterprise.
How much of a head start does Tesla have over traditional ICE-based auto manufacturers? It feels like a 10-year head start from my uninformed opinion. It will take a lot of work to change engineering ops, supply chains, and deal with pensions.
His parents had a few million dollars but he started microsoft off of a version of a very optimized version of basic he wrote. He amassed 80 billion dollars and became the richest person on earth. Paul Allen and Steve Balmer became multi billionaires as well. I don't even know that he used all his parents money to do that. How many people are able to start a company. It's the equivalent of putting in 1000 dollars and building a 100 million dollar company. Saying that isn't 'self made' is delusional.
> The only downside is that someone has to take notes, which can be hard while walking, unless you can remember everything.

It would probably be easier to use a digital recorder or even a phone.
I would say the same, and I personally think having proper hygiene is far more important. Unfortunately here in Hong Kong, it’s almost mandatory to wear a face mask.

That said, it’s known that you can be infected without showing symptoms. So if you only start wearing one when you show symptoms, it might be to late already.
So, how many Google employees (especially on the west cost) will now move to low living cost places?
> The dinosars deserve to get their ass handed to them until they wake up and serve customers.

Who are the dinosaurs? Volkswagen sells 10 million vehicles a year. Toyota sells 10 million vehicles a year. Are you claiming that Volkswagen and Toyota are somehow not serving customers? If they're not serving customers then why are they selling so many cars?
So yes, this is a rant. I came here because it annoyed me to see Carl and his ilk go unchallenged but I don't really care about Saini's book beyond the fact that most professionals I know liked it. If you want something more constructive I can give you my Venmo.

Again, I can't help but marvel at your gall of accusing me of arguing in bad faith.
Outside of big tech companies, not many US companies are encouraging or requiring their employees to work from home.

I can go about my day like normal, or I can live in 24/7 fear of getting a virus that has 1/500 chance of killing me (at worst)? Has everyone gone insane? I still believe it's a bad flu, and if I get it I'll follow guidelines, but I'm not going to panic. Just giving a different perspective to the hyperventilating internet culture.
My company's moving towards WFH and my productivity is suffering, even though I've worked remotely for years with no problem.

Many employees are new to remote work, and are now distracted by the virus, changes in the workplace, etc. This leads to bottlenecks for anyone relying on upstream work, and there's a chain reaction. I'm waiting a lot longer for work correspondence and code reviews.

It's reasonable to be distracted right now -- doesn't seem too bad yet, but it's impossible to work at capacity with these factors.
They get to charge more, you mean. They have had to steadily lower their prices as the rebate phased out.
I find voice conversations over the phone pretty good while walking, using wireless headphones so my hands are free.

I do this a lot and pretty much forget I'm walking, can do it for hours if a call or series of calls needs it. As a result, it's probably my main exercise, and I much prefer this over a phone conference or chat while stuck in a chair.

Video doesn't fare so well when walking, I agree.
Do you get vaccines? After all, vaccines can have adverse outcomes. The overall mortality rate for mumps is .01%, so why bother inconveniencing yourself if the impact is going to be so negligible?

A German report that came out today indicated that there is significant pre-symptomatic viral shedding. So you could be not showing any symptoms yet unknowingly pass the disease on to the people around you that you care about. This is, of course, not an issue if there are not people around you that you care about...
Almost all numbers aren't 53-bit integers (or smaller) :P
Let's do the math. An a1.2xlarge reserved instance with the longest available term (3 years) is $672/year, or $3,360 over 5 years.

A bit of browsing on Geekbench suggests that one a1.4xlarge instance (i.e. two a1.2xlarges) is roughly comparable to a Ryzen 3400G. Adding in rough costs for the other components (motherboard, power supply, case, and 32GB of RAM), a bare-metal system equivalent to an a1.4xlarge looks like it would cost maybe $500-600 to buy outright.

In other words, if all you care about is raw CPU performance, then over long periods of time AWS costs more than 10x as much as bare-metal per unit of performance, even with up-front reserved instances.
I don't believe that we will be using the current extreme form of "social distancing" for as long as it takes to develop a vaccine. Vaccine could easily be a year and a half out.

I think we will return to a more moderate social distancing, where appropriate, after tests have been deployed and we have a better sense of the actual rates of infection in different regions.
Thanks for the heads up. I honestly don't see why people see a need to mock me, when I'm pointing out the fact that at my home I don't have the amenities that I enjoy at the office. I'm not even complaining about anything. If someone else had posted a similar comment, I certainly wouldn't have mocked them.

But then again, it is sad that these days, mockery is the default way of discourse on the internet.
Thank you very much for your advice. Is there any specific reason to rewrite to Python?
San Jose: Three TSA agents test positive for Covid-19
> Normal people can't afford a $60k Model 3

That's hyperbole. I paid a little less than $60K out the door for my Model 3, and it is the Performance model. You can order a $40K Model 3 right off the web site that is substantially identical aside from being slower and having a few miles less range (though in practical terms it's probably about the same because the P3D doesn't get anywhere near rated range). AFAIK you can still special order the $35K model.
You've conveniently avoided mentioning the most significant question, which is whether the implementation was different.
Not sure where you were, and what restaurants you were going to, but eating out is quite normal in most of Europe and is generally inexpensive if you don't go to a fancy place. Certainly far cheaper for a non-fast-food meal than I've found the US to be.
Discord is more of a malware rather than a website.
> But I can't help but feel that ultimately Oracle has a point :(

Copyright is not some innate right. Interfaces should not be copyrightable just because they require some level of competence to design.

If it was a patent then at least the term would expire, but copyright lasts a very, very long time. Car companies would love to copyright mechanical interfaces and so prevent anyone from making aftermarket parts.
I just went out and bought a drawing tablet peripheral for about $60. I share the screen with slides on one side and onenote on the other, and write on onenote with the tablet like a whiteboard. I've already done a couple lectures and in some ways it's better than the real thing since you just continually scroll the notes you are producing and all is in one field of view.

On the other hand I've been trying to use google forms with little quizzes for periodic feedback and that's been terrible. No matter how basic a question you ask, some students will take 100x too long trying to research the answer on google or just hiding or who knows what. And you just have to cut half the class off with no responses if you want to move on in a reasonable time. Putting students on the spot by walking over to them in person is the only way to get some students to participate.
I feel as if Rails plus a progressive framework such as Vue.js is essentially what you are talking about?
There aren't really any options to select anyway, aside from a few extra bucks for non-white paint.
Non sequitur, non sequitur, irrelevant and mentioned on account of a false premise, unfounded, contrary to common usage, equivocation.

Natural history is a species of scientific knowledge and does not involve any sort of optimization. The investigation in other sorts of scientific knowledge involving any sort of knowledge of what is best would not imply any sort of "politics" in any case because the best in general does not belong to politics. One might also know what is best through ethics. Still, hugely idiotic to refer to "politics" as knowledge of "what is good for the state" as if people's usage of "politics" and "political" in ordinary discourse involved any thought either of Aristotle or of the Ancient Greek language and to presume anything is proven thereby. Specious reasoning.

I will not post twice. Do not expect any further reply.
