This was about your responses, not your intentions. That's also why I said I judged your response, not your intentions.

How would I know your intentions anyway?

If you search for "good luck" in this HN thread you'll see what I'm referring to.
I've found that there can be some cool stack combinators (like Factor's dip), but binding in stack based languages is nice in that it lets you effectively turn off having to think about the stack in depth, which frees up mental resources for thinking about the problem at hand.
Antifragility
That's a nice fantasy you are having, but for the elite athletes in the money sports, the scholarship has nothing whatever to do with an academic degree.
You know full well that isn't all of it.

But... but... now I don't have anything to watch while I'm quarantined!

Seriously, it's a bit of a bummer. I had hopes that this year a non-power-conference team (Gonzaga, San Diego State, Dayton) could win it all. I know there are bigger issues to worry about, but it's still a disappointment.
Not OP, but :

- you can't store objects in variables, so code looks convoluted with deep nesting as you need to apply multiple transforms to objects

- there are no real variables, more like constants that take the value of the last assignment, so you can't do basic stuff like x = min(x, 5)

- you can't access object attributes (size, etc.) so it's not possible to generate features that depend on another object. You always need to have lots of parameters in scope. A simple use case would be to punch 4 holes in the corners of a box cover.

- string functions are very limited, there is only str() to convert a value to string but with no control on the formatting, there is no printf-equivalent
That seems like an unsubstantiated claim.

It is substantiated by the text of the Constitution itself.

From what I remember of other parts of the constitution and amendments offhand they generally don't include an explicit directive about why something is there. It's extremely implicit as an often obvious effect of what the law expressly allows or forbids.

They generally don't. And therefore the statement of intent for this particular clause should be given more weight, not less.
Managing critical incidents in Microsoft Teams
I guess OP meant that this ignorance is systematic and long term. Current pandemic just very clearly shows how ridiculous it is not to provide a social safety net.
Ditto for the Quest. I have a Vive Pro and a traditional gaming rig, and I'm very happy with it, but I can't deny that my friend's Quest is by far the more convenient setup. Even discounting the lack of power, the ability to just pick it up, put it on, confirm the play space and go makes the thing infinitely more attractive. Even the low battery life isn't a major concern, since I rarely want to spend that long in VR anyway.

I don't think tethered PC-based VR is going away, simply because that setup is most flexible for development and experimental purposes, but for the mass market, I think a device like the Quest is the only thing with potential to truly take off. Especially if the weight of the headset can be reduced, as comfort remains one of the most nagging negatives of the whole experience.
But if the virus isn't actually contained, how is lying about it going to help their image or stability? If Beijing hospitals end up stuffed to the brim with pneumonia patients, nobody's going to be fooled by a claim that there are no coronavirus cases.
3.65% / 1.75% ~ 2.09, so the difference in age profile might explain a factor 2 in the mortality ratio of Italy vs South Korea.

The actual ratio is currently 7.9: 827 out of 12462 cases in Italy (6.6%), 66 out of 7869 cases in South Korea (0.84%).
This is a fantastic article overall. As someone who has now gone through SOC 2 twice (first at Dropbox as an IC, now at Fleetsmith as cofounder/CSO, the only part I disagree with is the advice re: MDM.

If you want to make SOC 2 easy, you should choose us (fleetsmith.com) over the competition.

There are some specific things SOC 2 cares about with regard to laptops. The ones that can take effort are:

- User to device inventory attribution ("give me a list of all your Macs and which employees they belong to")

- FileVault enforcement, with automatic (and secure) escrow of the recovery keys

- Enforcement of some kind of AntiVirus (either the native stuff built in to macOS, or deployment of a third party solution like MalwareBytes)

Each of those 3 items are very time-intensive efforts with competing products. With Fleetsmith, each of them are quite literally (not marketing hype) a few clicks.

We're also the leader in terms of security. If you're interested in the intersection of MDM and security research, check out the following:

There's the now famous anecdote that even Stroustrup rates himself a 7/10 at C++ proficiency.

I've also worked on a handful of largeish (10k - 100k line) C++ projects both pre and post C++11, and also consider my C++ proficiency intermediate, even though I'm comfortable with the language and know how to fill in the gaps when I need to figure out something new, which now happens every 3 years.

The language is enormous and complicated, and most people will forget how some of the rarer intricacies work if they don't use them frequently. And since most features are very useful in a few situations, but are not widely useful enough to change daily programming habits, this is basically guaranteed.

The language is so big that intermediate is probably just the top of the scale now.

Rust isn't that big yet (although it is getting more complex), but many more of the concepts in Rust are somewhat unique to the language, so you're not just learning new syntax. I think the "always intermediate / always still learning" feeling happens earlier with Rust than with C++ because of this.
I can see them not having fans at the races, but Nascar drivers and pit crews seem like they are at a lot less risk compared to basketball players.

Is tails actually safe to use? Has it been audited by someone who is trusted in the sec community? And that’s not even to talk about whether tor itself is still good.
If your code has 20 if else in a row I don’t care if it’s performant and has no bugs, you’ll get a change request because I don’t want to maintain that pile of garbage.

There are minor code style preferences and others that affect maintainability. Just because it works now it doesn’t mean the code is done.
I see the value of what you are proposing but that would be useful only for tech savvy users (vs mainstream)...
I was speaking to the strategies that could be employed vs what we’re actually doing, and I am concerned that what we’re doing will cause a recession.

To relate the strategy to that formal definition of a recession, if everybody stayed home for a month this quarter, we might lose 1/3 of the quarter’s GDP. But if that break is structured so that it’s expected and we resume normal activity afterward, then in the next quarter we would see the GDP “grow“ a ton, if only back to normal because people are working and spending for the full three months, and we would cleanly avoid this formal definition for a recession.

And by writing Clojure, you lose a lot of type safety and compile-time efficiency. Not that that's a bad thing, just pointing out that there's a trade-off that it makes in favor of a simpler language to learn and implement. There's also the matter of it being more verbose to represent certain concepts in Clojure due to lack of syntax, but that's harder to argue.
What did he say, and did he look young?
I'm curious if something like this can be considered criminal. What if the mortality rate was higher? If the mortality rate was 100%, ethically would this be murder?

Even if the numbers aren't reliable, reports of Japanese intensive care units being overrun aren't easy to hide, but Japanese hospitals don't seem to be under the same pressure as hospitals in Italy.

Making mask wearing more acceptable might be a cultural adjustment humanity has to make as we become more urbanized and globalized if it'll help reduce the severity of disease transmission. Looks like Japan's stumbled onto a very useful societal adaptation.

Was just about to post this. Nicotine vapor seems to be better than smoking, assuming legit products, but nicotine is still poison. Consume a little too much nicotine, whether smoking or vaping; that sickish feeling can be the onset of nicotine poisoning.

I've seen so many people stating basically the same as OP, claiming no data on vaping being harmful while completely ignoring the core substance that produces the addiction in the first place.

I smoked a pack per day+ for 27 years, quit a few months back, still using low nicotine vape products when overstressed and struggling with urges. I'm not a vape hater, but I'm not ignorant to it being poison. It's always a good idea to have as much knowledge about your vices as possible.
Maybe co-morbidities or general health per age is better in S. Korea.
IMHO gloominess about financial matters will be warranted, but probably not in the way people expect. I think the stock market will have mostly recovered, most people (who don't work for small businesses) will still have their jobs - but we're going to have very significant inflation, perhaps even hyperinflation. The Fed just injected what, $2T over the last week into a supply-side shock. Prices are going to go up anyway because of supply chain disruptions now facing 75% of companies, and then on top of that we have a massive amount of liquidity being injected. I think it very likely that that'll kickstart higher inflation expectations, which are hard to tamp down once they've started. Best case we get 1970s-style 15-20%/year inflation. Worst case we get 1920s-style Weimar hyperinflation.

I am not sure thats a tradeoff, ruby and python didn't gain anything in terms 'lack of syntax' by trading off 'type safety and compile-time efficiency.'

Could be. The jury is out.
Flying accounts for ~3% of carbon emissions, of which business flying is another subset.

The aggregate reduction in economic activity is significant though. Oil prices are halved from their pre-outbreak levels.
I didn't fact-check all of your links, but the first two that I randomly selected showed transit usage increasing over time.
Your last line is the super important point, occurred to me today as well. If we beat this thing with social distancing, idiots will say "See! There was no reason to panic!"
If you factor in collapse of medical services -- Italy ran out of ventilators / ICU beds--the gap becomes clearer. You have to look at over 60 as more likely to be hospitalized, putting strain on medical system.
> South Korea has since reported 67 deaths out of nearly 8,000 confirmed cases, after testing more than 222,000 people. In contrast, Italy has had 1,016 deaths and identified more than 15,000 cases after carrying out more than 73,000 tests on an unspecified number of people.

Surely the testing is a huge factor. Test more people you'll find more people infected, so the fatality rate will get smaller. If you're like the US and test very few you get the huge fatality rates we saw in Washington.

If you could quickly and accurately test everyone in the country today we would know how to isolate and the whole thing would be over very soon. Not having a reliable test makes this whole problem as bad as it is.

Dark suffers from the same ambiguity as Lost though, where you given the writers the benefit of the doubt that there's an overarching rational sequence of events, but it's also equally likely that the writers are just making it up as they go along.
I noticed something else that might be an interesting correlation: available "acute" hospital beds.

I don't have time to do the full correlation, but here's the data:

https://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=30183

Select "Curative (acute) care beds"

Scroll down to the Per 1000 population.

Italy: 2.62

Korea (assuming South): 7.14

The list of countries in that table is a good bit shorter than the countries fighting Covid-19, but I think it might be illuminating.

Can someone draw that up? Compare, perhaps, current death rate by country with available "Curative (acute) care beds" per 1000?
>> "Test everyone!" To what end? You don't need to test people in order to know if they need an ICU. The ICUs are not full - and you don't need more testing to tell you that. The main benefit to more testing would be that people who are self-quarantining due to potential exposure could maybe stop self-quarantining earlier. That's a fairly marginal benefit.

You underestimate human stupidity :) People self-quarantaing is a sign of great awarenes of the danger. Meanwhile there are millions of people who ignore symptoms because "it's just a common flu, not coronavirus, don't be paranoid". Testing everyone would help identify and quarantaine those people (against their will, if necessary).
The fed doesn't pump stocks. It buys bonds and gives good deals on loans. It merely increases liquidity. It doesn't just give money to people.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say you would do that. "If you expect more security" was meant to be equivalent to "If one expects more security". Probably a language thing, my fault.

But back to the topic I still think surveillance being the historical norm isn't too accurate. For over a decade we got more and more surveillance with the justification of terrorism, civil unrest and security. Similar aspirations are probably numerous throughout history.

I think everyone favors stability at some point, but to me it looks like the classical ambition to remain in control and fears that cannot really explained by a rational risk analysis, even if officials are in a position of responsibility. But I don't think that many people are keen on monitoring others. There is gossip, but that mostly happens due to nearly the same motivation or is just a detached way to reaffirm each other.

It would be pretty easy to get supporters against censorship. Instead these security measures are creating the dissidents it fears so much.

I’m still learning Rust, but I’m developing a deeper appreciation for Go. I’ve already learned Go. As far as I can tell, I’m a Go expert.

Rust has a pretty large surface area. There’s a ton of places where you can get overwhelmed by choices. For example, when you’re working with slices, you might find yourself thinking about the pros and cons of different approaches using indexes, convenience functions, pattern matching, or iterators.

It’s a big toolbox, and sometimes I wish I had a smaller toolbox, even if it means giving up the choice of which tools to keep.

So, I’ll still be learning Rust for a while, too.

> People are willing to suffer short-term privations, especially when they are afraid of getting the coronavirus. People are not willing to suffer for years to reduce their carbon footprints.

The French suffered higher overhead energy costs to make their electricity production >70% nuclear. The difference is that this long term suffering is much less severe than short-term suffering.

> The markets wouldn't be so important if there were a safety net.

The markets literally pay for the entirety of any safety net. Without the markets there are no jobs, so no payroll or income tax revenue. Without tax revenue, there are no safety nets.

Without the markets, there are no investments, so no capital gains tax revenue.

Without the markets, there is nothing to sell, so no sales tax revenue.

Without the markets, there is capacity for charity.

If you don't understand how critical the markets are to the functioning of the country, you don't understand how countries function.

>Although I disagree strongly on the "kill 10% of your population" bit, which is just fear-mongering, it's kind of besides the point.

If every case went untreated, 10% is a reasonable guess about what the death rate would be. Unchecked growth would lead to almost every case going untreated. That's the penalty for allowing the number of active cases to rise above five times the number of open beds/ventilators.
As a non-American that's somewhat ignorant of the current states of the US legislative houses on this matter, could someone provide some context as to why the comment directly parent to $self is being maligned?
A similar macro the stdlib should have is poor_mans_cast!(foo as Bar::Qux) which expands to match foo { Bar::Qux(x) => Some(x), _ => None }.unwrap() which is a questionably-hacky way to cast to a specific enum variant. I've had to use it twice because I couldn't figure out a more Rust-like way to solve the problem at hand.
