And that's why martial artists are often a problem for stage combat choreographers. Martial artists are trained to hit things; actors are trained to miss.

I've also found that martial artists are very confident in their aim and control. Actors must not be, because things go wrong on stage, and errors result in injuries. You may be able to stop your punch within 1 inch of my nose 999 times out of 1,000... but I'm not going to go on stage with you to find out if this is my unlucky day.

It's not that martial artists can't be good stage combatants. They just need to step back and relearn everything in a completely different way, rather than adapt what they already know.
Maybe, you could be right. Certainly Italy and Spain have already exceeded South Korea's cases per capita, as well as deaths per capita: Italy, Spain, and South Korea have respectively 1809, 335, and 75 deaths†, with populations of 60.3 million, 46.7 million, and 51.7 million, for rates of 3.0, 0.7, and 0.145 per 100,000 population to date. So it's implausible that South Korea's dramatic improvement is due to a much larger number of subclinical cases saturating the population and preventing further spread, and I understand that their testing is quite comprehensive as well, so it probably isn't due to underreporting either (which in any case is less likely for death rates); if that's true, it would seem that the only plausible conclusion is that containment is working in South Korea.

I think it's reasonable to expect that similar containment measures will be put in place in most countries soon, though, so perhaps it's not unreasonable to take them into account when trying to estimate future growth rates.

Also most console FPS games that I've tried have a field of view that is too narrow, and hardly any I've tried let you change this.

Hopefully pay is commensurate with responsibility.
Many C level executives earn a literal fortune every year, with compensation packages in case of dismissal that would make anyone's eyes water. Accepting/demanding that but brushing off any risk and demanding to be considered immune from any repercussions even when it comes to major acts of mismanagement seems a bit unreasonable.

This isn't for any minor misstep from an employee. Rather for not putting in place enough safeguards to avoid that result. Or the CxO turned a blind eye to this happening although all the signs were there. Or worse, they directed it. Look at the captain of a ship to see what the responsibility could look like.

As for the "I'd rather close the company than risk going to jail", I don't think that would be the case even for current levels of compensation. A mistake driving a car could easily kill or land the driver in jail (and this happens all the time). And the benefits of driving a car are far lower than what some of the above mentioned C level execs can get from that position.

So, generic code with a loop, which, depending on parameters, sometimes has side effects and sometimes doesn't, and in the case that it doesn't have side effects it is still not easy to recognize if the loop terminates?

Basically, yes. The PS5 is also going to be just an x86 Ryzen machine with the same AMD GPUs you'd get in a PC.

This is sort of disappointing from a technology nerdery perspective, but after years of game developers struggling with bespoke weirdness like the PS3 Cell chip, I imagine they're welcoming the change. It also makes it much easier to handle backwards-compatibility, which most gamers treat as non-negotiable these days.

Hmm... ADE shouldn't happen with natural immunity post-infection since the body tends to produce a cocktail of different antibodies and either some or the combo would have some virus neutralizing effects. But it's known to happen in-vitro and with vaccine generated antibodies (always less diverse than the ones generated naturally).

Natural-ADE shouldn't thwart development of a live/innactivated-virus vaccine though. But would immensely slow the dev of RNA or protein ones since you'd have to test through a lot of candidate variants until you find one that is not ADE-inducing...

Otoh, a population of naturally-immune survivors is a living library of antibody cocktails that are know to work. If I were more conspiracy-theory inclined, I'd say the UK gov. has knowledge along these lines and they are willing to sacrifice some of the gen. pop. knowing that (a) it will take a looong time to a good vaccine, so better for the economy if they get natural immunity faster than everyone else, also lots of arbitrage opportunities on international markets once they're first to recover, and (b) they bet their "living library" of good antibodies will maybe make them a leading producer of safe vaccines.

Now, if this COVID bugger does ADE with naturally induced immunity... that's BAAAD! Natural evolution would have no reason to optimize in that direction, and genetic lottery is probably not likely to produce this. You get the conclusion and geopolitical consequences... it's something something about that doomsday-clock striking a certain hour...

I've been using Coda for a decade or so now and would really like to see another Mac-native code editor that solves some of Coda's jankiness while preserving its good things (most drastically, IMO, vertical splitting. Why do so many other editors not support that?).
This article has only one real tip: create a high school programming contest for it. The rest is evangelizing a specific language itself, which I won't mention to avoid fueling the gimmick. I think we've been had.

In general programming language preferences are subjective. We all think different. I've been in many many debates over language merit. The only language that would truly make one happy is one custom fit for his/her own head. I personally want something that leverages the database more so I don't have to do data chomping in code, nor reinvent the schema in code (DRY). I'd also like custom block-scoping so that one is not stuck choosing between OOP or FP etc. A code-block's scope would be programmer-defined. You could roll our own control and class-like constructs.

Actually some languages are meta (bend-able) enough to reshape almost any way you want, but then in a team environment, you have to face others' custom mind-fit code, which defeats the purpose.

Because I didn't use the word bed?

Look, the key point here is neither you nor the author actually know to what extent "aggressively and ruthlessly implementing social distancing right now" will impact the need for beds, that concept isn't well defined. And you are still ignoring that such measures can't last indefinitely.

OK, so everyone is put under total curfew right now and shot if they're found on the street. The spread slows then stops. After a month life starts getting back to normal, and then case numbers start shooting up again. What then?

The optimal position is for every bed to be taken all the time, as that way the curve is flat at exactly the right point to get everything back to normal as soon as possible by having people build up immunity. We all have no idea when the right time to start asking people to hide in their homes is, or even if asking everyone to do that is a good idea. But we can be pretty sure it can't last forever and the right time for people to be isolating themselves is when most people have it, as that way they're getting sick and recovering at home. It's not at a time when most people don't have it and the home stay does nothing but put off the inevitable for a few more weeks.

> But I'm calling out slack specifically...

I also don't understand this. What makes it even worse is that someone has already done this. I've been using Ripcord [0] for a few months for Discord and Slack, and it performs way better (it's native, written in Qt 5), and supports nearly all of those platform's features [1]. It is unfortunately proprietary (although I think the dev has open sourced the theming engine).

it doesn't look as beautiful (if you care about that), but it has most of the features. This is all done by 1 guy. Imagine what Slack and Discord could do themselves.

The real solution is to drop these proprietary solutions that don't respect their users. Unfortunately, while I love Matrix and Signal, the large majority of my social circle would never move to those.

Edit: I should also add, there's a very promising, open-source Discord client being developed called gtkcord3 [2], it's still very early in development, but it looks great and already supports the essential features, excluding voice chat.

> and it causes permanent damage to your lungs and organs.

It's too early to know this for sure. I know personally, it took over two months for my lungs to recovery from pneumonia when I was younger. People are claiming this, but we won't know for a full year of this damage is non-recoverable.

But to your other point, yes a number of experts have said the really scary thing is the number of people in their 40s, who were healthy and non-smokers, who ended up on respirators in Italy and S Korea.

Also, since when was "just a flu" okay? The flu is really fucking bad. Twice in my life I had a flu take me out for over a week, and from the accounts of SARS-cov2, many are reporting it as feeling much worse than a flu with chills for days after.

As much as many people like to hate on the pharmaceutical industry etc, there is a reason clinical trials take time. Yes, this is a pandemic and we must move quickly, but it's important to ensure that we don't repeat the recent mistakes made with the dengue vaccine in the Phillipines [1].

That vaccine made dengue significantly worse for those who had not been previously exposed to it. Situations like this are especially bad because they erode trust in vaccines, perpetuating the idea that all vaccines are bad/malicious when in fact a properly vetted vaccine is very safe.

Part of that is viral things often weaken your body enough for a bacterial infection to come in as well. In some (not all) of the most deadly diseases the problem wasn't the initial infection is was secondary.
> The most scientifically reasonable thing can still be wrong.

Yes, it can be. But you still should do what science says because relying on science is the only way you could make knowledge base decision, because science is the only way we actually know things.

If you decide to act other way to what science dictates and it leads to better outcome, then you were right by sheer luck and can't really claim that you made the right call. You made the wrong one which by sheer luck turned out well.
Our organization recently looked into AWS Session Manager for tunneling but couldn't find documentation on how to make it work for our usecase. We were trying to tunnel into our VPC in order to be able to connect to an Amazon DocumentDB cluster. We don't have any EC2 instances which seems to be the only thing Session Manager has support for. Despite the callouts that Session Manager replaces bastion servers, that didn't seem to be the case for us. Did we miss something in our research?
> bad disk or network mounts being the exception of course

That's kind of the point. Programs shouldn't assume that any particular file is local. Any file may be hosted on a network mount, and that means network-style asynchronous interfaces should be used to access the data.

In the just previous post:
> It actually would be guaranteed to 0 it if it were instead unsigned chars.

and bringing up padding. But this is padding within the char, not padding within the struct. It is because of the latter, that sum(sizeof(members)) is not necessarily == to sizeof(struct).

The sizeof(char) and sizeof(unsigned char) are both defined as 1, and of course the bit size of an unsigned char including padding is CHAR_BIT.

And it turns out because of a char* must be able to access at least every accessible char of every other object, and have the weakest alignment that alignof(char) pretty much has to be 1 except in a contrived example http://port70.net/~nsz/c/c11/n1570.html#6.2.8. Further, although not required, struct member padding will be a direct result of alignof, hence you will pretty much never find a wild example where sizeof(char)*2 == 2 != sizeof(struct a)... so maybe it is fair to call it a guarantee?? But, still, I think the way you're saying it just confuses the alignment/padding issue further.
In this case it actually wasn't though. The case was never tried. In the US the government can impose huge fines for AML violations directly, without ever having to prove their case. Combined with a culture of hyper-aggressive prosecutors and you don't really get justice in the traditional sense.

This also cleans the filter really well, letting it last over a year.
Druid committer here. (Also, I think we've met before in SF!)

One thing I wanted to add with regard to performance. Druid does indeed get a big boost from the fact that it uses inverted indexes for filtering. It also gets a boost from having a wide variety of approximate algorithms you can use if you want (for things like topN, count distinct, set difference/intersection, quantiles, etc). But straight scan performance has been improving quite a bit recently too.

The biggest change related to straight scan perf is fully vectorizing the query engine, which is partially done as of the latest release (0.17): https://druid.apache.org/docs/latest/querying/query-context..... In benchmarks, the implementation so far has been posting row scan rate improvements in the 2-3x range. I expect we'll be able to round it out and have it work for all queries over the next couple of releases. The multiples involved mean this is quite meaningful if you do a lot of straight scans.

There's plenty of other stuff going on too: our latest release added parallel merging of large result sets. Our next one (0.18) is going to add a new, more efficient hash aggregation engine. That next release is also going to add a JOIN operator -- not perf related, but probably the number one most requested feature.
Part of the burden of building a cross platform desktop application is making sure the experience is consistent across platforms as users may need to be moving between them.

For example, most CG/VFX applications are multi-platform to various degrees. None of them are native by your standards as that would be an obscene amount of complexity to develop, maintain, and more importantly support. However, all of the applications behave identically on all the platforms they run on (sans some specific host platform features like D3D support, RTX/Optix, macOS menu bar, etc), which makes supporting vast user bases simpler, and enabling mixed OS environments without introducing cognitive load just to understand what’s different about the app.

We have our own gripes with UI/UX of these apps because they are complex, but not because they are not "native". Building a "native" application only works when you choose to target a single platform (like the Chime Go text editor), or if you have the reasonable ability and resources to have and support separate teams for each platform and the organization to coordinate roadmaps and priorities across them.

From my experience, the only group I really see complain about "native" appearance is macOS users. Windows users really don’t seem to care, and on Linux (there are some vocal people) I guess you could say GTK is the native toolkit above X/Wayland, but it’s really up to the DE/WM for determine what the "native" context is.
We do have a vaccine for the common cold. Problem is the common cold is really about 300 different viruses, and a vaccine for just one of them didn't make a statistical difference.
Interesting! I wonder if it matters for this case... the walls of the room aren't going to be exactly parallel (or may be a trapezoid, pentagon, or worse), the robot's wheels are going to slip somewhat on each turn so the angle turned won't always be the same, etc. Stupid real world :-)

>some futuristic detective that never left the house, instead just solved missing persons cases by analyzing details in photograph

Your futuristic detective has the same M.O. as Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's older and reclusive brother who stayed at home or at his club where no one was allowed to speak (except in a small antechamber and then in no more than a whisper); Holmes the Younger would occasionally visit when he was stumped, or needed some bit of information he hadn't written a monograph on. If I recall correctly, the point was that while Sherlock was all about deductive reasoning (here are all my little clues, what do they add up to), Mycroft was a master of inductive reasoning (here is my thesis, if this thesis is true, here are all the details that must exist _somewhere_).

Tangentially, Mycroft was the full name of the computer that gains sentience in Heinlein's _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_; very smart, but by nature of being a multi-ton computer system, something of a recluse.
