On another note, one commercial option that is very cheap (like $250 for a professional license that is perpetual for that version and collects $0 royalties), but can build GUIs for (Windows, Linux, OSx, Raspberry Pi, Android, and iOS) and has very good built-in database support, encryption, audio, assembly...etc is the forth based 8th language. You can get source with an NDA and $2500 if you really need it. I've only played with it so far, but it is crazy fun and has a lot of built-in goodies. The author fixes many bugs in like hours and will push a new version same day for zero cost.

It's not that irrational. First thing that comes to mind is you might want to minimize times you have to leave the house or prepare yourself for the eventuality of a quarantine.
Isn't Germany one of the slowest countries to respond to the epidemic? Aren't schools still open in Germany, with thousands of cases and quite a few deaths already?

In my country (Romania), our normally horribly inefficient government has closed schools the moment our 25th confirmed case was announced, it has banned events of more than 100 people, has encouraged people to work from home, and encouraged those who can't to change their work schedule so that people come in at different times to avoid mass transit overcrowding (and enforced this in public institutions). Many large shops have started limiting the number of people allowed in at once, preferring to firm queues outside. Flights to several countries have been canceled. And all of this in addition to screening travelers, putting everyone coming in from Italy/China/France/Germany/Spain in isolation for 14 days, as well as anyone who came into contact with a confirmed case, and of course tracking everyone who came into contact recently with an identified patient.

And all this is before we saw our 100th confirmed case, with 0 deaths so far. How can you say that the German response was efficient?
Anecdotally, I have a friend who runs a middle eastern restaurant near a handful of popular Chinese restaurants. Early on, before there was any realistic threat to the area, but after it was known that a new disease was coming out of China, the middle eastern restaurant started surging in popularity because people were avoiding the Chinese ones all of a sudden.

The point in general for holding purchasers liable is maintenance traditionally for 'wear and tear' as opposed to defects.

To use a car analogy if your car gets into an accident because the break pads should have been replaced 10,000 miles ago that is your fault. If it is because the break pads disintegrate if they get wet that is the manufacturer's fault.

These aren't cars however, but it does bring to mind a hypothetical consistent set of standards involving patches. So if say the product was perfectly fine at launch on 32-bit platforms but it has a bug when run on 64-bit platforms it would become the user's problem.

It obviously wouldn't be a very good system, it isn't realistic in its expectations nor easy to judge or administer with all of the nuances and fine details of knowledge.
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed this comment so much. As a Jag owner at the time I remember being taken by the production shots of that game that popped up in magazines, and couldn't wait to see it in motion. The craftiness necessary to pull off a compelling rendering pipeline on the hardware of that time period, combined with the aesthetic directions the constraints pushed designs in, still inspires me. (And somewhat indirectly led me down my own career path.) Thanks!

Me personally and my company has been using Keeper as the password manager. It is definitely very handy and autofills the information whenever you need to sign in everywhere. It's been claimed to be very secure and I trust my company's choices as cybersecurity is one of the priorities. Keeper also allows you to create secure passwords whenever needed and there is a vault accessible from your phone as well if you ever need the passwords elsewhere than known devices. Chrome extentions are really handy and I've got used to it very quickly. I switched from chrome password/info management to Keeper.

Nope, I doubt that this translation is somehow more tweaked than other translations: Last year around this time I was shopping to import a dutch car. As a German native speaker I find dutch to be pretty well readable with some practice, but I sometimes double checked on Google Translate - and the translation were always excellent. (But reading Durch as a German is actually quite funny, so I prefered that).

However, the user-supplied fixes have probably been a huge contributing factor to getting the translations where they're today. And Googlers reviewing some translations for their training data sets ;)

I talked to this reporter, although my quote didn't make it into the article. About halfway through, he asked me my thoughts on the morality of selling face masks when the government was recommending against hoarding, and I realized it was a gotcha question, which I dodged.

Afterwards, I sent him this message:

>I thought a bit more about your morality question re governments asking people not to buy masks, and on second thought I'd answer as follows:

>The government's interests are not necessarily the same as individuals. Clearly the masks have some utility or the government wouldn't want them for their own healthcare workers. Is it moral for the government to ask me to go without a mask and expose myself to some additional risk to further the government's interests? Is it immoral for someone to refuse such a request? Clearly people are willing to pay for masks, and if they value the masks more than the government does (which they do if they're willing to pay more than the government is paying), then why is it more moral for those masks to go to the government?

>The government can easily corner the market on masks if they choose to do so. Declare publicly they'll pay $X/mask, buy up all masks, and give them out at their own convenience. If they choose not to do so, I don't think it's immoral for private businesses to help private individuals obtain the masks they want, even if the government would prefer to get their hands on more.

>I believe I saw a figure of 3.5 billion masks that the US is trying to acquire over the next year or so. Do the math. If they want to get 350 million in the next month, they can offer $5-10/mask and would easily corner the market.

>I do happen to think it's flagrantly immoral for the government to restrict testing capacity, as your paper recently documented

>In light of that and other incompetence from the US government, it's hardly unreasonable for people to be skeptical of guidance saying that people shouldn't wear masks.

>And even if it's true that wearing masks has little utility now, it can still be rational to buy masks now for use in the near future. If this spreads further and the shortage gets worse, which is possible, buying masks now will seem brilliant in retrospect.
You've just proven you can get the exact same point across without being offensive (and quite frankly, a little bit juvenile).

The hosts are managed via chef, the jobs/tasks running on those hosts by something roughly equivalent to k8s.

As for the conflicts, I have to say I loathe the way the more dynamic part of configuration works. It might be the most ill conceived and poorly implemented system I've seen in 30+ years of working in the industry. Granted, it does basically work, but at the cost of wasting thousands of engineers' time every day. The conflicts occur because (a) it abuses source control as its underlying mechanism and (b) it generates the actual configs (what gets shipped to the affected machines) from the user-provided versions in a non-deterministic way which causes spurious differences. All of its goals - auditability, validation, canaries, caching, etc. - could be achieved without such aggravation if the initial design hadn't been so mind-bogglingly stupid.

But I digress. Sorry not sorry. ;) To answer your question, my personal solution is to take advantage of the fact that I'm on the US east coast and commit most of my changes before everybody else gets active.
I'm going to agree with you. In 2020 (and really the last few years), configuration management is outdated. IaC (infrastructure as code) is the current approach. Containerize everything you can, use terraform or cloudformation, or azure devops.

Avoid managing the underlying os as much as possible. Use vanilla or prebuilt images to deploy these containers on, coreos, Amazon's new bottle rocket (maybe). Or use a service like fargate when possible. All configuration should be declarative to avoid errors.

If you need to build images tools like packer are great. AWS has a recommended "golden Ami pipeline" pattern and a new image builder service if you can't use community images.

I'm speaking imperatively but read these as my own directives. I work for a company that consults and actively helps fortune 500's migrate to the cloud. So some of what I'm saying is not possible or harder on prem and I recognize that.

If I had to, I still like Chef, puppet second favorite mostly because of familiarity. Ansiblee can be used with either of these. And tools like serverspec to validate your images. I don't really use any of this anymore though.

We're not discrediting it because it's Scandinavia, we're discrediting it because iceland has a miniscule population and actual effects of interventions are difficult to meaningfully tease out from chance on this scale. I looked it up, and I'm unsure if in reading this right, but Iceland has 360,000 people? That's it? If I'm not reading that wrong, my small suburb of ny has 1% of the population of the entire country - and size effects matter in terms of how easy strategies are to implement and whether changes are from natural variance or real fundamental progress.

> What percentage of people get fevers from other reasons?

Interesting. Other infectious diseases (flu/colds) seem to be going down in countries with lockdowns so this may not be such a big issue.

> - How close does your infection model (X minutes within distance Y) match the actual infection mechanism and rate? I suspect it isn't that good, and will include many people who aren't infected.

I pitched this idea to a leading epidemiologist and he thought the mechanism would work.

My biggest irritation in Slack is when people direct message me with 'Hi' and then wait for me to respond before they tell me what they need from me.

Please just tell me immediately what you need, so I can decide how urgently I need to reply. I don't want to reply to you, and then have to wait for your to type out what you need for me. It's a big distraction.
>> You can't simultaneously tell people to stay at home for long periods of time and tell them to not stock up for that.

Nobody is telling people to stay at home for long periods of time. If you think you have the disease you need to quarantine for a couple of weeks. That doesn't require a lot of stocking up. In Italy, where they are in 'lockdown', grocery stores remain open along with other essential services. So panic buying is unnecessary, causing shortages that are unnecessary and causing problems for people who aren't panic buying.

I think you misunderstand.

The small, single character tel, and the large, 3 character tel are interpreted the same by the browser when sending a request to look up the domain. So you don't need to tell people that they have to type the single tel character.

I also don't think the author is super serious about recommending doing it:

> Is this useful?

> Obviously yes. This may be the most important discovery of the decade. You get cool looking URls and get to save a couple of characters on specific domains, at the minor expense of working inconsistently.

Why would Uber be allowed to charge 20x when people really need rides, but individuals (NYC taxi drivers, savvy and/or forward-looking Amazon hand-sanitizer sellers, ...) can't? That way, you're just creating a binary economy of winners and losers. It's like tax avoidance - losers (people like me, the working population without millions in savings) have to pay taxes (and the most productive are taxed the most, way more than capital owners), whereas winners (politicians, Apple, ...) have tax-free accounts in the Caribbean...

The rules should be the same for everyone. Or else don't expect people to comply with being losers.
I thought it was going to be related to planning the coordination of people and drones for commercial, multi-drone "missions".
I think those gatherings are a thing of the past in most countries.

> You can hold DAI without opening a CDP

If you hold Dai without opening a CDP, the only way to convert that Dai back to Eth is to find someone who opened a CDP and is willing to buy from you.

Similarly, if you opened a CDP and then sold the Dai, the only way to get your Eth back out of the CDP is to find someone who is willing to sell you Dai. The Maker liquidity crisis yesterday happened because there were more people trying to scoop up Dai and get their Eth out of their CDPs than there were people selling Dai, which meant that a lot of people were stuck holding leveraged positions on Eth that they couldn't exit. Even worse, the auction system was malfunctioning, so it appeared as though those people may not even get a fair value for their Eth if they did get liquidated (not to mention, they'd also have to pay the 13% fee for being liquidated, even if they got a fair price in the auction).

> An important part of DeFi are DEXes (decentralised exchanges) such as Uniswap and Kyber. There is a liquidity pool where you can instantly buy/sell assets.

This only works if the total number of buyers and sellers are balanced. The way Maker is set up right now, its possible for a large percentage of your Eth pool (or Dai pool) to be completely unavailable because the holders have not listed the Dai on an exchange. Simply having a decentralized exchange does not automatically guarantee liquidity - people have to agree to sell their assets on that exchange.

> You can do this easily by buying DAI on a DEX

The entire problem yesterday is that all of the Dai was scooped up from all of the Dexes. There was a period yesterday where the Dai price was >$1.11, meaning that CDP holders were paying an 11% premium to exit their positions. The Maker system had no exit valve for people stuck in this position.

> The DeFi, specifically the Ethereum space, has moved very quickly in a short amount of time, so there are a lot of new concepts and instruments out there.

There are also a lot of old concepts and well understood financial relationships that are being ignored, and a lot of highly predictable failure modes that are being forecasted as "black swans". The best team is likely composed both of people who have a very solid background in cryptocurrency as well as people who have a very solid background in traditional finance.
I was able to debug many race conditions in production thanks to logging. None of the steps that happened concurrently resulted in an error. Logging is helps you audit how your app is being used. And that is a different thing from monitoring or error reporting.

"Wage theft is also seldom enforced."

I responded to someone who claimed that what he is doing "could get him convicted of crimes in several states". While he could potentially face sanction, he isn't going to be convicted of anything.

"But most anti-gouging laws are state laws, and not really subject to direct US Federal Constitution limits."

Are you seriously arguing that state laws aren't subject to the constitution? What a wild discussion.

The number of actual convictions from these laws are absolutely minuscule, targeted only at major players, and a number of them fell on a constitutional challenge.

"Prosecutions occur often enough"

No, no they don't. You could count them on one hand. Don't confuse the big show about such laws with actual enforcement of them -- most such laws aren't even written to be enforceable (South Carolina, for instance, bans "unconscionable" pricing, which is legally meaningless). They are a showy discouragement and public placation.

Let me go back to your first paragraph-

"That doesn't make wage theft right." [arguing by association that I'm somehow saying that price gouging is right]

Apologies for the (necessary) wording, but fuck that disingenuous, obnoxious strawman. Nowhere did I say it was right. It is heinous. It is socially reprehensible. It is obnoxious behavior, and hopefully as supplies equalize this asshole and everyone like him are caught with a garage full of these things. But if people depend upon the law to discourage people this they're going to be disappointed.
This response did not answer the core question of my comment: any allocation scheme will choose winners and losers, so how do you pick which is worse? I see an assertion that rationing via quotas is "simple and fair," but it's not clear at all that it is more fair. What is "fair," and according to whom? Certainly the mother with seven kids and elderly parents in the home, she'd find the "go through the line, go to your car and go back in again" to be totally unacceptable, especially with the exceptionally long lines we've seen (it wouldn't be a "little extra work" but would involve doing nothing but waiting in line for hours).

And the whole point of this article is that it's not normal times where prices can fluctuate.
Another voice in favor of logging. At Morgan Stanley we wind up recording about 1TB/day of structured log data, which also needs an efficient query engine to process. We carved a basic type system out for structured data, maps to C++ data well, and built a Haskell-like PL (and JIT compiler built on LLVM) to process it:

https://github.com/Morgan-Stanley/hobbes/

The logging part is just a single self-contained header-only lib, so very easy to incorporate in existing systems.
