You can't use tabs if the entire company uses spaces or use Python if it's a Java shop.

3) Because in most cases, an extra set of eyes can help provide real, material constructive feedback.

I have little trust that any standalone developer is going to just write 'solid code'. Who has that level of self-awareness to recognize they are 'that good', let alone actually be good without help?

It's a basic matter of professionalism to work with others and to be good team members, without it, we're not going to get much done.

For smaller projects with very clear requirements, it matters less.
Guido van Rossum: “PyCon US may be revised or cancelled”

Word choice is influential. Don't let the word "conspiracy" shut down consideration for the very real possibility that one may exist.

Look at this research:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18077725

It is 2008 research from a lab in Wuhan. They created a virus by combining SARS-CoV with HIV, targeting the human ACE2 molecule as receptor. These features match those of our current pandemic. (India reported the HIV link, and the use of ACE2 is widely known)

We shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the possibility.
I don't know what @nkrisc, but I definitely mean: camera should be able to store data on any standard sftp server. Or on a CIFS server for the Windows dudes. Or WebDAV.

Want to store it in some proprietary cloud? That's fine, but it should only be done as an afterthought. SFTP, CIFS, and WebDAV would enable any power user to build and use their own home storage or cloud storage.

> Nice is something you can turn on and off with no cost.

OK, this confirms that I have a different definition of what makes a "nice person". Nice isn't something you can turn on and off with no effort. Nice isn't even always the same as pleasant.

So, I'll bow out of commenting on this, as we're not really speaking the same language. My apologies for the confusion this may have caused in my comments.
I hear that, what I'm saying is, follow that logic through... If it's crucial to maintain strict protocols even during a rate of only 100 new cases/day, that means these protocols stay in place roughly... indefinitely.

Counting individual cases and deaths in a country of 300 million is nonsensical. You could do the same thing with the flu and you'd hit 20,000 deaths a year and you'd destroy the economy in the process.

IMO, the solution is best preparing to treat the number of people who do become severely ill from it, and getting the rest of the country fully back to work as quickly as possible.

Although I disagree strongly on the "kill 10% of your population" bit, which is just fear-mongering, it's kind of besides the point.
> It took until about 3.3 to get some ability to really write cross-compatible code.

I disagree... you could always leverage six and/or do conditional imports based on sys.version

As a serial startup engineer, I've only been in wartime situations since leaving my last big-co job 12 years ago.

I agree with the large paintbrush aim of the article. Singular focus and knowing how to load your gun and fire those 1-3 shots you've got. You don't get 6, or 18 - that's peacetime. You have lots of data, customer feedback etc to show you how to point those few those shots, but that's all you've really got.

The one sentiment I didn't fully agree with was:

> Peacetime CEO spends time defining the culture. Wartime CEO lets the war define the culture.

This makes it feel like during war time the CEO doesn't have control of the culture, which counter to the entire post, is exactly what the CEO has control of. It's just that the culture is different in peace vs war, just like the CEOs are. Arguably the whole company is different all the way to an individual person level.

To speak to the other threads, I don't think the co-founders of Google were ever good peace or wartime CEOs. I think they rightfully gave up that seat multiple times because it's just not them. And to be explicit, there's nothing wrong with that.
How so specifically, compared to say just imaging the devices? Are we really worried about rogue employees putting rootkits on said robots, and to what end?

Remote attestation in general does have positive uses, and would be freedom preserving if the signing keys were controlled by the device's owner. The problem is Intel's design of baking in privileged keys that they themselves control, such that hostile parties can require that you run software that they provably control.

I bet Massachusetts ridership wouldn't be down if they weren't experiencing crippling infrastructure atrophy.
I'm of the opinion that whether something is alive or not is arbitrary, and depends on your definition. Humans just came up with the word to describe a class of things.

You could define biological life in a way that includes or excludes viruses, I would suggest, and be right either way.

(Also if a biological virus is alive, is a computer virus alive? It's self-replicating and has DNA in the form of code.)
It's a complex balance between the effectiveness of the behaviour and the willingness of people to perform it. That's the usual reason, anyway.

Google has a feature you can enable where if they detect no activity on your account they will send several notifications over a set period of time, like 6 months or so. If you respond to none of them then they will give access to your account to people you configure.

Essentially you have to ask yourself if there will be a period of time in the future where you know won't use your account for that long. If so then you should disable the feature.

I use a long diceware password for my iPhone. It prevents police from bypassing the rate limiter and brute forcing your password quickly. There’s supposed to be a machine that allows them to do that.

Unlocking my phone throughout the day is done with Touch ID. If I think I’m going to encounter the police or be away from my phone, I press the lock button five times which disables Touch ID. I’ve been doing this for two years and it works great.

Amen. I've had meetings where 15 people showed up, and everyone walked out with 15 different recollections as to what was done. At least one of those 15 isn't going to read the meeting notes that get emailed out after the fact, so we're going to have to rehash the same shit in a week or two.

Banking clients are demanding more liquid assets (ie cash) than banks have access to, so they are swapping treasuries for cash from the Fed.

It's not like this is banking profits; would you rather the bank fail and you or your business or your employer lose everything you had there? Because that is also an option.
I have a vivid recollection of reading a Scientific American article in late '98 or early '99 that claimed that no matter how much time and $ was put into fixing Y2K before 1 Jan 2000, there was going to be a disaster; it was just a question of having a bigger or smaller disaster, but even with best effort months. I have recently looked for that article, without success. Does anyone recall it/ have a PDF (image) of it?
The best response was from a somewhere China thinks should not exist - the Taiwanese government. They started working on this when China finally let the rest of the world know. There is a lot of people traffic between those two countries so one might have expected Taiwan to have been hit hard, but the Taiwan health authorities were aggressive in being preventative.

if intel can manage your machine state remotely [they can with ME] then someone else can as well.

corporate customers often have an elevated relationship that retail consumers dont have. There is a different level of trust. I dont trust Intel. I didnt ask for ME and i treat any hardware with ME as an edge device.

as far as impact is concerned its possible that clone machines could be manufactured with hardware modifications.
how possible depends on how much money someone has to throw at the project.

exploit chips could become a common offering all you need is a steady hand and a solder iron, and a blob of epoxy for good measure if you want to hide the job.

if as a highminded attacker you determine the hardware key, as it stands you can then decode a software key and begin manipulating firmware. The concern being that the same hardware key is used accross all ME chipsets.

That Chicago represents 28% of its metro population vs SF's 11% definitely hurts Chicago and helps SF here, if you normalized that I'm sure Chicago would come out on top (but SF would still be above average for the US, probably significantly above average).

For Jersey City, these metrics are specifically measuring commutes to work, and obviously commuting via transit to NYC there for your job is extremely common; its numbers would undoubtedly be lower if you were measuring public transit in general (though this may be true for basically all cities, honestly, so I'm not sure if that would affect the rankings).
I don't think there is.

It would be a cool thing to play around with, and I wish they would make it available. The problem is the raw data isn't likely to be very useful without using ML to filter out false positives for any gestures you want to implement.
Sort of off topic, but aside from addictive potential there is very little in the way of evidence that vaping is harmful. And it's been around for some 15 years now - probably long enough to show some degree of long term harm.

Similarly, nicotine is guilty by association, I've been unable to find any literature pointing harm from consumption.

Now here's some speculation to take with a grain of salt - nicotine may offer a protective effect against 2019-ncov. We've known for a while that nicotine downregulates ACE2 receptors, and someone did an unofficial, but comprehensive meta review for SARS, MERS, and 2019-ncov and found that former and current smokers were significantly underrepresented among infected cases. Yes, it's a Reddit post, but the sources are all there and you can review and judge them for yourself.[1]

I believe that any pure "ism" is a bad thing. All of the various "ism"s I've learned about have both good and bad aspects to them.

The ideal system is a mongrel, mixing ideas from the various pure ideologies. In fact, this has largely been how the US has done things since the US started, and has been one of its greatest strengths. Looking at US history, there have been several times (including now) when the nation has veered towards an ideological purity of one sort or another. That has never gone well.
The age of the article says a lot; but I think there are overuses of rem, even today, where it’s used for dimensions (width, height, padding, margins) which is not a good idea. Especially when mixed with containing elements that use a mix of em & px units. Where for a while sites were using em & rem, using viewport-percentage lengths is more apprpriate for _both_ font-sizes and dimensions.

And for what it’s worth Variable Fonts are a game changer that didn’t exist 7 years ago (along with a whole bunch of new standards and capabilities that make typography and layout so different today), which makes me wish there was a timeline view of all the W3C standards.

What’s interesting is that the blog for that article uses a theme with a lot of that new stuff: css vars, flex box, margins & paddings with vh, calc, css grid, font properties that probably aren’t widely supported — so @supports is cool to see, and wait for … it:

max-width: calc(30rem * 2);

rem units

It looks like this is the Author’s own theme:

https://vasilis.nl/nerd/wp-content/themes/nerd-mississippi/s...

It seems like it had to have been updated since the article, so indeed maybe he’s softened on rem, if not ...

Why use rem if you don’t like it & why use it for 2 max-width declarations? There are a lot of % based dimensions so why not stick with that?

I’m not trying to judge, but the if the author created the theme for code consistency and writing consistency that should get cleaned up.

There’s also some neat bleeding edg stuff like this:

h1 {
font-family: "Mississippi Regular", impact, serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 15vw;
font-size: calc(2em + 14vw);
line-height: .7;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
font-size-adjust: .42;
}

Where those two font-size declarations provide a responsive size where calc is supported … But if you’re using @supports in some places that’s great to use everywhere, for example he uses it here:

@supports (font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures) {
body {
font-feature-settings: normal;
font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;
}
}

At some point font-variant-ligatures might be widely supported & using something like postcss could let you purge or optimize that automatically & if manually maintained rules like that just stick out do the road.

Rem is awesome, CSS can be painstakingly difficult to keep up with.
A "rejoin" isn't really possible. People who spent money on the "wrong" chain will simply have to live with the fact that their money is lost on the "right" chain, although it will probably not be an overnight thing. The two forks could exist for a long time after the split simultaneously, and many merchants may accept either form of payment. There will even be arbitrage between the two chains as profit can be made.

Ultimately, one chain will come to dominate the other, and the ones who fight hardest for it to be their chain will probably find they're on the wrong one. That's because people on the right chain will not need to fight about it. They'll just be running their software as they've been doing till now, and it will pick the correct chain for them. The ones screaming "you need to download a new client" will proceed in destroying their own reputations.

My personal feeling is that every day we delay mass-infection is another day that the medical community has to get a handle on this.

We don't know the actual number, and the minimum (i.e., the number we know of) is constantly in flux, so any number derived from those is wrong. The 'safe' percentage chance of someone with the virus being in the room with you is definitely arbitrary. So...arbitrary. Yes, you can run statistics to say that "well, we made a bunch of assumptions and came up with a specific number", but most of those assumptions are arbitrary.

Disclaimer, I've contributed a couple of patents to IBM's hoard of patents, but I no longer work there.

#1 is fairly straight forward, a simple script that uses the USPTO search function and searches for the Assignee field being IBM and the date range being the last 30 days gives you the patents issued that month to IBM. You can do that with a simple cron script, curl, and some script code.

#2 is somewhat more difficult, IBM gets sued a lot because they are big and a juicy target. If you have access to one of the legal databases (Lexis, Etc) you can search for cases where IBM is the plaintiff and the complaint contains phaseology around patents (like "patent", "infringement", Etc.) While expensive to access, if you live near a College or University with a Law program and you can get library privileges you use their access. In Santa Clara county you can join the Santa Clara Law Library (http://sccll.org/) which will give you access. Unfortunately, you need to be there to access the databases so that would involve a monthly trip to the library (not a bad thing in my opinion :-))
