Ok, this article itself measures in terms of continuing to attend meetings, etc

Some basic googling found https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/04/the-irr... from 2015, which covers most of my understanding of AA.

The measure of success should be relapse after treatment, but AA doesn't have the concept of stopping, and more importantly does not consider relapse after ceasing attendance to be a failure of their 12 step program.

This ignores the moral corruptness of praying on, and essentially mandating indoctrination, of people in need of help.

Every day he posts a status update on the growth of cases per country and supply chain impacts for goods across the globe.

> you're burdened with having to serve everyone the code.

Yes, if that’s the option the author of the code chose. You are free to choose some other code, or write your own. You have zero entitlement to use somebody else’s code under conditions that suit you, over the wishes of the author. It makes no difference whether the author(s) chose AGPL for reasons you like it not, or if they did it out of philosophical purity or spite. They get to choose. You get to choose whether to use their code or not under the rights and conditions they grant you. Google have clearly worked this out and codified it in their policies. If you think that’s putting some overly heavy burden on you, that doesn’t change anything. Choose some other code or write some yourself. Nobody owes you the right to use their code. Sorry.
I wish that was the case. If you sort the line items by cost, I would be surprised if labor was on top. Maybe for surgeries, but I doubt that.

My insurance got billed 6k for a chest ultra-sound. They paid 4k. Hospital still wanted around 2k, had to negotiate and pay a little over 1k at the end.

The line item for physician cost (billed separately) had 2 digits.
Curious, do you have an article that talks about that? I'm supposed to attend a wedding in Germany in June..
China since Lunar New Year?
Yes, but if you look closely at italy, that's what matters: spread the amount of people requiring intensive care until it is below the threshold your region is able to provide.
I was under the impression that like firearms in the UK you need to have special licenses to use explosives that people can apply for https://www.hse.gov.uk/explosives/licensing/how-to-apply.htm
Can I ask where the rocket is going? Or is that also too presumptuous?
Absolutely agree on the AI vs. legacy systems part! Something most people tend to underestimate when talking AI and logistics / Supply Chain Management.

back the day, I helped to roll out a similar, rather primitive system, at Amazon across their german fulfillment centers. Just the added visibility of that was mind blowing. Also increased pressure on operations, I don't consider this a bad thing.

If you want to chat, more then welcome! also I'd love to hear about how you approach that problem. Because it is huge one, also one most companies totally ignore.
50MB of textures is a lot compared to shader source code size, which will be in the kilobytes for such a small project.

The same with shadertoy, the storage or transmission of a shadertoy shader is never going to be significant compared to all the assets on the page.

The contention was that a binary representation is necessary to save space for storage or transmission. It just isn't.
Sorry, I thought that was the beginning of this whole discussion about ageist comments and blaming young people.

We're so many levels down into discussing claims that nobody is explicitly making in the article or this comment thread that it's hard to keep track of.

I'll probably look at it in a few days.

I'm actually in the middle of creating a Web-based instruction series on writing Core Bluetooth SDKs for Apple platforms (not just iOS).

Once I get that done, I may look at adapting this project:

https://github.com/RiftValleySoftware/RVS_GTDriver

For it. It started as a goTenna project, but they never got around to helping me out, so I gave up on them, and made it an OBD driver.

The infrastructure is still there for all kinds of stuff, so I could probably do something.

BTW: If that works out, it would be an SDK that would afford ALL Apple platforms; including Watch and TV.
It's still doubtful though, since there was a small number of people infected, the odds of them in particular traveling while contagious are low, especially when you consider that the first people infected may have limited travel because of demographics.
What makes you think anybody is only interested in "Why was the fence built?" and not these other questions?

I think these are all good question that Chesterton thinks you should be asking. The point is that the one who tears down fences or ceases maintaining fences without asking these questions is a fool.
the code is very clear and well commented! Nice work! could it be hooked into a notebook for visuals? I'm not sure if GitHub displays those well. Also, the # TODO comments: https://www.tickgit.com/browse?repo=github.com/llinsky/pande... in case you're interested!
Case fatality rate is not mortality rate. Until the end of an outbreak where they converge, it's much higher.

Yes, it would match the staggering global response to rising youth suicide rates, mental health problems, cell-phone / videogame addiction, and student loan debt.

It would be equal parts hand-wringing, helplessness, and blaming the youth for not being tough enough to deal with communicable diseases (like they did back in the 1950s).
I had other experiences. The friendships I had in AA were superficial. Once, when I was struggling and needed help and people to talk to, I was completely ignored by the people around me. They didn't want to help the struggling - just to have this toxic positivity that nothing is wrong.

I later moved out of state. I came back to visit family, and went back to a meeting to find out that there were rumors that I had relapsed after I moved and continued using until I was homeless. It was a drama fest. Absolutely ridiculous.

When I moved, the meetings I encountered were extremely hostile to atheists.
> for the sake of it might be better.

There are a billion Windows computers on the planet. Each time we have a buffer overrun which gives attackers access or lets them exfiltrate user data, real people are at risk. At risk of ID theft, of money theft, of scammers, of crypolockers, of extortion and blackmail, of company collapse and job loss, of stolen business secrets, of fines, and of wasted time. Each time we have an urgent patch, tens of thousands of IT people around the world have to hurry to patch/bodge/remediate/mitigate/educate systems with little warning and little testing, dragged away from whatever else they were doing.

Microsoft have proven they can't do this competently in C++. Are we not long past the "might be better to have tools which check" speculation, and far into "definitely definitely definitely is better" by now?

If not by now, what will it take to convince you?

(I'm not saying "Definitely Rust", but something - Microsoft make implementations of C++, T-SQL, C#, F#, JS/TypeScript, VB.Net, and employ many top Haskell people at Microsoft Research, and various other languages, they aren't inexperienced at languages).

it's a really difficult task and you need proper planning.

Then they should hire good developers and plan properly? They are one of the richest companies on the planet who make some of the most popular programming languages and tools on the planet. They're not a poor-me charity case.

"Some drug that blocks the euphoric effects of drinking" would be more accurate.
From what I understand, you take the drug before the act of drinking and it stops the habit-forming/positive-reinforcement chemical processes.
You've given one concrete example, the type after the function deceleration.

I'll respond to that because there is a concrete benefit. For what it's worth, typescript, go, SML, haskell, and many other languages follow this pattern too.

In C, there's the "clockwise spiral rule"[0] to read a complex c declaration. Let's take an example from that:

void (*signal(int, void (*fp)(int)))(int);

In rust, that would be:

fn signal(i: isize, fp: Fn(isize) -> ()) -> Fn(isize) -> ()

In rust, the clockwise spiral rule is more simply the "read left to right" rule, which follows more naturally for most people.

For what it's worth, C++ also includes alternate function syntax [1], which matches rust's ordering of return values.

The reason it was added to C++ is because there were actual expressions the old syntax could not unambiguously express. Even to a machine the C-style declaration is more confusing.

With no offence meant, you're sounding a little blub[2]-ish in that complaint.

No, I'm saying that these kind of bugs in compression libraries are very common. We'll pick an open source one of course (we don't want to be in the writing and maintaining compression library business, just like we don't want to be in the crypto business), but we'd also be vulnerable to bugs in upstream if the compression library we use has them.

I don't know what compression library Microsoft is using - probably they wrote their own.
It's really good to have some of that feedback / solutions documented. It'd never think of the window tint affecting the experience for example, but I don't do any art work - it makes sense in retrospect.

Hopefully if more people like/adopt this, it will get prepackaged as a common system flavour / package.
> This is something apparently Developers enjoys more than anything because it will never change despite my efforts reporting it

I've personally believe that the biggest change operating systems should have is to prompt you for the kind of workflow you want to do and give you sane defaults for that (software developer, graphic artist, video editor, etc etc). These workflows could even be sourced from the community & customized at an individual level so that you could point it at someone's published workflow or fork it for your own purposes & have everything set up for you regardless of which machine you move to. This would go beyond settings to setting up your environment & installing programs where you like it (e.g. installing homebrew + relevant packages, etc). You could even have it per user for those that have multiple different workflows.
There's a 1% lifetime chance you die in a car accident and 2% you die of an opioid overdose. Roll a die between [0,199] and get a 0,1 you die in a car wreck. Roll a 2,3,4 or a 5, and you die of an opioid overdose. I'd be willing to bet somewhere around the 6-10 range represents your risk of dying of a climate related change.

Rationally, you pretty confident that you won't die? Sure. But what behavior changes are you willing to tolerate not to have to take the chance?

Evidently none, because here we are diving cars, taking painkillers and rolling coal. This is a solid read: [1]. If you're immunocompromised or old, by all means, stay inside and don't associate with groups of people. If you're young and healthy, you're totally unequivocally fine.

You are ruining my whole schedule for tomorrow, man! Just as a heads up, i am no ML guy or even data scientist, just a logistics guy who loves to crunch numbers in Excel.

This is the only actual solution. All of these diseases will continue because of our close proximity to animals, factory farming being the biggest offender.

We also breed super viruses by feeding the vast majority of our produced antibiotics to animals. Yeah, we need to stop eating animals and animal products as quickly as possible. There literally is no other way.

In a few years lab grown meat will be a solution to those who don't want to switch over to a plant-based diet, so there's that.

I love to go through the corporate engineering blogs and learn/understand the type of technical problems they are trying to solve and enhance my skills. Good for learning about the company for tech interviewing too. But there is no simple way to search through all of them for a specific term (like kubernetes for eg). To solve this problem, I have designed http://techblogz.co. It currently has 10k entries from different corporate engineering blogs.

Would love to hear your feedback on it.

Thanks
>nor do they have perfect censorship

Which is exactly how we get all those leaks and info from silenced doctors.
1) Decide what you are going to do with the time previously spent commuting. If you previously spent 45 mins driving to/from work, you now can either use that freed up time to work more or to do something else (relax, clean, etc.).

2) Be proactive about taking a walk or working out. If you WFH, you can often barely move all day. You will feel much better if you schedule a walk after lunch or take a break to work out.

3) Don't be afraid to take some 15 minute breaks to read or watch TV (or do something else). While at work, many people stop and talk to colleagues or do other things to relax at various times. You will not get these small distractions while working from home, so plan to take a few breaks.

4) Set your schedule and try to stick to it. If you don't want to work all night, leave your laptop in the home office and don't bring it to the couch.
This is really misleading and I wish people would stop but for some reason everyone is like "Rust is actually easy! You already have to think about borrowing and lifetimes in C/C++ - Rust just makes it explicit.".

I love Rust, but that is nonsense. First of all it's a reasonable complicated language even without lifetimes and the borrow checker, but let's ignore that. My issue with this sentiment is that it ignores the fact that the borrow checker isn't smart enough to prove that loads of perfectly valid programs are valid.

A simple example: `a[0].foo = a[1].foo;`. Perfectly valid. No memory errors. But Rust isn't smart enough to know, and so it really does make things harder than in C/C++.

This isn't a criticism of Rust at all. I think it is a worthwhile tradeoff to get memory safety. I just wish people would stop pretending that it isn't a tradeoff at all!
Sure, but that 20th day of January might come really late. The constitution does not define a calendar, time zone, or second. Suppose we add 80 more months. The 13th month is Trumpuary, the 14th month is Trumpember, and so on. Another option is to put Washington D.C. in a timezone that is off from UTC by 50000 hours. Another option is to make December 1000 days long.

Reading over your quote, it actually seems that a simple law could keep the president in power as long as no President elect or Vice President elect exists. As it says, "the Congress may by law provide for the case", "declaring who shall then act". Nothing says it can't be the old president.
Let’s see who is really naive in a couple of months.

It's expected that about 550-600 people would have to be sick (not just infected) before their 29 ICU bed's are at capacity.
Genuine question, do you happen to have a source? Not that I don't believe you, I am just curious about the details, such as how many units, for how much (is it free?), etc.
Based on your link (details at the bottom) it's not the same thing at all as far as I can tell. The Color Recovery buffers a scanline and does a simple edge aware filtering on a 2x16 block, for every pixel. The Voodoo 2 doesn't appear to have a buffer. Also, the HP solution takes 8 to ~ 22 bit, a harder problem.
I'm evaluating svelte and have yet to do much, however handling dynamic components is a key requirement, and appears to be supported like so:

<script>
import RedThing from './RedThing.svelte';
import GreenThing from './GreenThing.svelte';
import BlueThing from './BlueThing.svelte';

const options = [
{ color: 'red', component: RedThing },
{ color: 'green', component: GreenThing },
{ color: 'blue', component: BlueThing },
];

let selected = options[0];
</script>

<select bind:value={selected}>
{#each options as option}
<option value={option}>{option.color}</option>
{/each}
</select>

{#if selected.color === 'red'}
<RedThing/>
{:else if selected.color === 'green'}
<GreenThing/>
{:else if selected.color === 'blue'}
<BlueThing/>
{/if}

I agree and find it utterly outrageous. I'm lucky enough to have avoided any hospitalizations in my adult life, but I am quite familiar with this BS on the pharmaceutical side, in another comment on this article[1] I broke down that "preferred partner" price difference as I experienced it personally and it is insane that these pricing differences are allowed to continue. Also, bear in mind it's not just patients paying in cash - all these rules also apply to anyone unlucky enough to be treated out of network, even if it's just because they were brought to the wrong hospital while unconscious.

I WFH once a week and as-needed. Starting Monday we are all WFH for 2-3 weeks.

For productivity, I absolutely require either a docking station or some sort of KVM switch setup so I can use a regular keyboard, mouse, and monitor. That, or I just remote desktop right into my secured work device which essentially serves the same purpose. I lock myself in my home office and tell the wife and kids to act like I'm at the actual office.

The work/life balance is actually better because I don't have to commute. Just make sure if you normally go to the gym that you keep that up...assuming your gym doesn't close because of this. The gym seems like a primary place to close down because of this virus.

We use Skype and Teams to keep the chic chat style banter and useless meme-sharing alive and well.
I do this with code, which is my main creative medium these days.

First I solve the problem, without giving a damn about anything else.

Then I gradually improve my solution until I understand the problem well enough to drastically improve the architecture, at which point I either refactor or start over from scratch depending on which takes less effort.
> Not in Java,

Prove this? Also prove how it compares between Google and Oracle's JVMs. I believe it's just setting up the stack and registers with the right values, one of which should be whatever the JVM's equivalent of the stack pointer is (e.g. finding the right code to run).

> This has nothing to do with copyright.

Perhaps, but only because the law is ignorant of it. It's not really much of a "copy" if it's a purely functional description that gets translated into very different software doing different things. That goes to my point that it's an interface for compatibility, not something copied because it was desirable in its own right.

> True, and if you'd read the court documents

Please don't give me that, when I've been reading docs since this first came out, enough to remember these old filings on a long-defunct site:

http://www.groklaw.net/staticpages/index.php?page=OracleGoog...

You may not remember, but we went over the examples Oracle gave pretty much line by line and many people discussed just how trivial it all was.

You also still seem to be ignoring the point that a jury already found this to be fair use -

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11781053

That was later overruled by a judge, yes, but there has been no jury finding other than fair use. When you go down into the weeds of this, there just isn't any real creativity there that's being protected by this and a broad precedent that "APIs are copyrightable" would be a terrible thing for all people who use computers, except only for a few lawyers to get rich off of suing.

> Maybe, but that this is about "copyrighting APIs" is just some people's opinion, and is just one possible interpretation of the case. Would punishing a company for copying hundreds of pages of code, for commercial gain, and not for compatibility cause "a lot of legal destruction"?

In this case, on this set of facts, yes. Oracle's plan was always to buy Sun and make Google (and everyone else) pay for it. It's just how they are, they love suing/auditing even their own customers, it's part of their sales pipeline or something.

The above is merely your opinion and not one that seems to be widely shared. I know I certainly do not. Can you point to a more detailed line-by-line discussion of the allegedly copied code than Groklaw had?

As with so many things in healthcare, if it's such a great system, why isn't it used for the military? Medevac helicopters are really expensive, so why not make individual troops decide whether their case merits a few year's pay?
