Yes. However you can for example do the following in typescript:

function someFunction(obj?:DuckType) {
//Snip other logic
someOtherFunction(obj);
}

function someOtherFunction(obj:DuckType) {

}

The type checker catch that. So you still have to do:

function someFunction(obj?:DuckType) {
obj = obj || { /* set some object properties */
//Snip other logic
someOtherFunction(obj);
}

function someOtherFunction(obj:DuckType) {

}

I have found plenty of examples where people haven't set a default value because the compiler hasn't flagged anything wrong with the code and you get an uncaught reference error.
IANAL but I believe the normal protection against self-incrimination, the 5th Amendement, was not applicable due to the plea agreement she entered and thus was held in contempt of court for remaining silent.
Because while you can be an asymptomatic carrier it doesn’t you are very infectious at that point, viral shedding levels and coughing play a bit role in this.

Also if the R0 value is much higher than the current estimate it’s good because it would also means it has a much lower mortality rate and overall much less lower severe infection rate than what we currently can estimate.

R0 values are very hard to calculate for novel viruses you usually only can figure it out after multiple outbreaks where you can account and control for environmental and societal conditions.

If most scientists fail to understand what growth-mindset is then it is a worthless theory. The people in this thread who praise it as something awesome then almost surely have the wrong idea about it in their head and is applying it wrongly. So you are right, this is a concern, which is why we should take failure to replicate extremely seriously!
Indeed, but this is completely baffling to anyone in Europe. Simple example:
In the US, if I have $5 in my pocket, I can't go to a store and buy a thing that's listed as costing $5.00, because at the cash register some more money has magically appeared on the bill.
In Europe on the other hand, you pay at the register the exact amount that is on the price sticker.

And yes, I know the difference is due to taxes not being included in the sticker price, but why oh god why is it up to me to do weird math to figure out if I actually have enough $$$ to pay for what I'd like to have.
"Bitcoin let’s you store $1T USD of dollars in your head, transport it anywhere in the world, and there’s not a single thing anyone else can do about it."

How much of that 1T dollars would you keep after you try to pump it into bitcoin and then try to pump it out?
I suspect that by this time next week, one or more major exchanges will have trouble meeting dollar withdrawal demands, and it will become more and more obvious that USDT (Tether) has been printed massively out of thin air to prop up Bitcoin. Crypto currencies aren't a safe haven, they're more like a house of cards that's currently coming apart.

The way things are going now, it looks like we're heading into global recession or possibly depression territory.

The combination of the current global economy and this sudden crash brought about by a global pandemic is unprecedented. We are in uncharted territory. It all depends on how much faith you have in world leaders - this virus is shaking up geopolitics and markets may not bounce back from this for years, though that's quite a pessimistic take.

Personally I feel like a lot of the world has been propped up on a house of cards and this virus is about to expose a lot of it, which means hard times are coming.

So tl;dr if you have faith in world leaders, wait another week or two because the market is probably going to crash even harder when the fed pumps $1.5T into the market (we've shut down trade with Europe and China is still not back online so this can only lead to a dead cat bounce) and then if you have disposable income buy up some bargain stocks. But the most important advice I'd give you is to only spend what you are prepared to lose. Your general impression is correct - if a stock is significantly lower now than it was two months ago, it's technically a bargain if you buy and hold until this is over.

Now, that said, if we miraculously find a cure or vaccine in the next month or so, I imagine markets will skyrocket overnight. And given that this is probably the most attention a disease has ever been given in history, it's not impossible.

> That is an argument for the idea of copyright itself. It's not an argument in favor of the current system and it also proves no justification to expand the current system.

You're wrong. The constitution grounds copyright (and other IP rights), in utilitarianism. Meaning, if granting stronger protection promotes overall welfare, then that is justification.

The problem with utilitarianism is that it's very difficult to determine what is greater "overall welfare". By its nature, it's an empirical decision. Once you start invoking data (rather than basic rights), lots of people and companies will come out of the woodwork to promote their own data points.
ahhh i remember as a teenager making sure our board of ed systems were Y2K-compliant. numerous times the principal staff would evacuate the office to take care of some action going on in the halls of the school. leaving me with access to the entire student records db and the VP login and password written on a sticky under the keyboard (not even joking!). in addition this was a laptop so RAS details were conveniently saved in network neighborhood.

this left me at a crossroads. i thought about writing malware that would randomly raise peoples semester grades by 4 points (e.g. C- would became a B+). i thought about mass changing grades. i thought about altering a target group of kids i didn't like. all but the last of the scenarios ended with me getting fingered because I was the smart computer kid. if i didn't touch my grades i would have plausible deniability. i wrote the malware. then i watched office space and decided to think about my actions (and promptly forgot as a horny teenager does). soooo glad i didn't release it because years later i went back into the code and found a leftover debug that would have targeted the only 2 kids in the school who had this letter in their last name.

tl;dr: office space is real

If they get too greedy they risk China and others just copying it. The situation would allow for that. If they price it fairly, they can make a lot of money by selling hundreds of million doses within a few months. So there's a strong incentive to price it very reasonably.
I think it's possible you remain contagious for more than a couple weeks (I read 6 way back when); the 14 day period is just to see if you have symptoms and need testing.

As long as nobody is above 40(?), and there are no underlying conditions like bronchitis, or immunodeficiency, maybe it wouldn't be a terrible idea. But you need to be ready to quarantine everyone until tests come back negative, and then there are false negatives, and it becomes a widespread think idea I'm sure people will mistakenly get their moms involved without realizing how dangerous it is for older people.

Also where did you get 70%? I give myself a 0-5% chance with some decent social distancing.

That means those events that are very far from the happy path and need to be recovered by unwinding down multiple function calls until a safe point to recover gracefully is reached. These are events such as failing to allocate memory.

This makes sense. Now that Italy has ramped up testing to 13k per day we should see a correction in due course.
The thing that makes superdeterminism hard to believe is the same thing makes time travel plots where destiny is fixed hard to believe. The level of coincidence and orchestration required to make things play out in just the right way, despite determined humans trying to make them come out another way, becomes ridiculous.

The angle settings in a Bell test can come from basically anywhere. For example, you can point telescopes at opposite sides of the universe, feed the frames into a cryptographic pseudo random number generator, and use the output to decide the angles. For superdeterminism to be true, that would mean the initial state of the universe had to be such that millions of years later billions of stars on opposite sides of the universe would be in just the right configuration to make the SHA1 hash of a picture of them come out in a way that correlated in a simple way with the polarization angle of the photons you were generating locally. And then they'd also correlate for the next one. And the next one. And the next trillion after that. And also it has to be just right for all the other ways you can set up the angle selection.

I won't say it's literally impossible to satisfy that many constraints. There's a lot of degrees of freedom to work with, and only finitely many constraints before heat death. But it seems really really contrived to me. Like explaining why someone has rolled five hundred natural 20s with "Oh that's just how things were always going to play out" instead of "that seems suspicious. Let me see that die."

Your argument is not really about intellectual property rights, and is more about property rights and capitalism generally. If you don't believe in property rights or investment, then sure, IP rights don't make sense either.
Honestly this is a perfect example of a time when laws are excessively restrictive. I should have the right to purchase this drug and use it as a last resort in the case that I or my family are infected.

It's not fair to responsible people who are capable of researching safety and dosages to have to pay for the ignorance of others. Especially when this drug is OTC in most of the world. You don't need a medical degree to safely administer most drugs - and you should have the right to take that risk, even if that means ignorant people getting hurt or dying.

Yup. However, I suspect that Ubuntu gives a pretty permissive trademark license in their distribution.

This isn't a theoretical argument, the Android OS is open source, but the "Android" brand is a protected trademark. If you're a cell phone manufacturer, you can use the Android code freely, but if you want to put an Android sticker on your phone, you have to follow Google's rules.

Yes, that's the abstract
This is old news by this time. As I commented on previous threads. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22534339

Yes chloroquine has been shown effective in vitro (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41422-020-0282-0). Yes hydroxichloroquine has been shown effective in vitro very recently as well (https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid...).

Yes both compounds are already actively being used and approved for use by Asian and EU countries against Covid19:

Here are the Netherlands treatment guidelines (in Dutch): https://lci.rivm.nl/covid-19/bijlage/medicamenteuze-behandel...

Here are the Italy treatment guidelines (in Italian):
http://www.simit.org/medias/1555-covid19-linee-guida-trattam...

How they found out about it:
https://www.jqknews.com/news/388543-The_novel_coronavirus_pn...

Approval and recommendation of the chinese:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32075365-expert-consensus-on...
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32074550-breakthrough-chloro...

I don't think there is much doubt left about it's efficiency at this stage. Hydroxichloroquine is much safer than chloroquine and it's just a 5 day course at pretty low dosage (2x400mg on day1 as a charge dose, then 2x200mg for 4 days).

More importantly, the drug is readily available, mass producded and doesn't cost 300$+/box like lopinavir/ritonavir. This drug isn't also 100% experimental and probably in the 3 digits rangs like remdesivir.

The only real issue is that with a lot of doctors using it, the temporary shortage of the drug could be troublesome for many Lupus patients around the world who depend on Plaquenil for their management.
23C, thought it would be warmer now, what about Thailand?
I drive about 3.5k miles a year, the OEM tires would have given me 70k miles but I would have never got there. the michelin pilot sport 4s where $5 more per tire and would survive just about 7 years (i'm planning 3-4 with the occasional track day). the tradeoff was DEFINITELY worth it, but now i'm deathly afraid of potholes and road hazards lol!

(after 1000 miles on the MP4S you're already more than 1/16th worn and would need to replace the entire set to keep the AWD system happy)
If you go down that route, you can always dismiss objective reality. There is no way of knowing that what we experience is actually happening. But we still assume it does. The same holds for superdeterminism. You can say we have no way of knowing if what we measure is not a conspiracy, but that doesn't hinder us from doing science as we know it.
Those requirements are not enormously exclusive. It's only bad when you also require low cost and minimal training. (avoiding: turbine, complex aircraft, high stall speed, high performance, pressurized, etc.)

Consider a lifting body like the Martin X-24A. It's a decent car shape that has been tested to 1036 MPH (1667 km/h, Mach 1.6). Add the engine and lift fan system used in the F-35B VTOL aircraft, and you have more than enough power for high-speed flight. You won't even need a runway.
I think those are awful to deal with errors. You have one part of the code that handles one concept and could error something. However the result of that code is then handled to some other part of the code which might deal with a local error but now you really don’t know if the error was local or occurred in the other part of the code. The second part of the code is now dealing with an error situation which it shouldn’t and you’d need to write weird code to stop it from doing that. Also you introduce behavior caused by two different context but merged due to the language “features” which, I think is much worse, because it’s not obvious that it just happened. Using exceptions otoh fixes this and parts of the code can still be completely oblivious that errors can occour.

We passed our SOC2 Type 2 audit without any MDM - we're just doing a manual quarterly audit on machines to check that they're update to date.

MDM helps to detect issues earlier, and can remove the need for manual audits, but is not a hard requirement - same with most other things in SOC2.

You give yourself? Merkel just advised the German government that 60-70% of Germans could ultimately be exposed.
No. In the same way that my directions to the mall don't include "maybe take this turn" at all turns.

That is, in many (all?) imperative lists of steps for how to accomplish something, I often do not want to acknowledge that every step could fail. Rather, I would like for a failure to be something I can touch and reason with. Possibly restart from.

Why did I not take that turn? Because I need gas. Or the kids need to use the bathroom. Doesn't matter, too much. I'm the user. Give me my options at this point. (And as a real user of maps, also give me the option of "piss off for 10 minutes.")

I can't seem to find information on whether Chloroquine would be taken prophylactically to be effective, or only after diagnosis and symptoms appear.
> it's hated by programmers who actually have to write code in it

False. Many people really enjoy programming in it (myself included).

> It doesn't tell you what caused an error or even where it happened. It just tells you something like "'rank" - and that's it.

Since version 3.5 (~2 years ago?) it tells you exactly where the error occurred (prints out the line with a carat showing where in the line the error occurred). And with a little practice you easily learn what the common errors like 'rank & 'type mean. I actually find the error messages pretty helpful.

> If you have a powerful 96-core machine, it's of no use to you because your K code will be using only a single core.

Technically you can run q multi-threaded, but the typical architecture used in kdb+ systems will be using multiple processes, each doing one thing (data ingest, in-memory intraday data storage, data persistence, historical querying, gateway). For example it's generally fairly trivial to add a bunch of extra processes for historical queries so many users can query in parallel.
When cases in northern Italy got to the hundreds, German news were full with the position has been that Coronavirus was like influenza with a strong seasonal component. This was because the national plan for the disease included that idea. However, since Monday March 9th, they have adjusted it. This [1] is a (german-language) statement from Monday by a scientist involved in that effort. He mentions a study from the USA, but doesn't give any details that make the paper easily findable. The only study I could find was this [1] one. It studies the same topic and has a similar conclusion, but might not be the one that the change was based on. Relevant part of the abstract:

> Here, we examine province-level variability of the basic reproductive numbers of COVID-19 across China and find that changes in weather alone (i.e., increase of temperature and humidity as spring and summer months arrive in the North Hemisphere) will not necessarily lead to declines in COVID-19 case counts without the implementation of extensive public health interventions.
