Operating systems abstract resources.*

Unixes got the abstraction boundary not-quite-right, by excluding networking and filesystems from the concept of process.

Containers are a correction to this.

i.e. not quite as catchy, but:

"Containers: the present is what the past should have been."

Windows abstract screens,
Files abstract storage
Sockets abstract connections,
Threads abstract CPUs,
etc.

The incentive has already been created by Covid-19 exposing the vulnerabilities and need for decentralization. Diversification will emerge such that the next time there is a shock companies that diversified will survive, while others fail. Some industries will not learn because they will be bailed out, others like consumer electronics have probably already learned their lessons.
Cool - again, nice work!
I've also heard it, but I think we need more data.

If true, it would go against all priors for how humans build immunity to viruses - especially coronavirus (common cold).

There may be a time limit to immunity, but having none at all after recovery would be rare indeed.

Without significant evidence (more than one somewhat anecdotal case of re-emergence), there's little reason to assume the body doesn't "remember" the virus after recovery with antibodies.

Seems like unnecessary FUD to spread that idea around without more evidence.

right. it's nice and maybe flattering that he ascribes these things to learning to program. but "[b]reak problems into sub-problems" and "[a]lways check for edge cases" are hardly unique to programming - hence why he found them so transferable (the "[m]emoization" one just seems like the first to me).

still, it's always nice to see an appreciation for our craft from maybe unlikely sources, and there's no reason not to encourage that as much as possible (just don't force it on people)
Can also confirm that all the usual advice people give (maintain "life hygiene", eat well, have a cold shower, stop staring at screens, don't do exercise prior to sleeping, don't think about sleeping, etc.) either don't work or are impossible to maintain in stressful situations, whereas a single melatonin pill does the trick. I'm frankly amazed that it works to be frank. I'm also dreading the day when it becomes unavailable seeing how I live in a country where any drug that's actually working eventually gets restricted whereas homeopathy gets handed over-the-counter.
There are plenty of good sealed beam LEDs from reputable, American companies such as JW Speaker, Peterson, and Truck-Lite. Sample catalog below:

I hope you chose something from one of the aforementioned companies. The aftermarket clones are just that...poor-quality clones.

Anyway, being able to see wet pavement and puddles is almost irrelevant. Wet road surfaces are good specular surfaces, which means that light from your headlights is bounced away from the car. Dry road surfaces, on the other hand, scatter light in every direction, and as a result, dry roads appear to be better lit than wet roads. However, simple physics dictates that the amount of light hitting a road surface doesn't change just because someone poured a few gallons of water onto the road. The amount of light hitting the road surface is a property intrinsic to the headlamp.

And really, there's way too much emphasis placed on how bright a wet road appears to a driver. Last time I checked, most obstacles (deer, pedestrians, disabled vehicles) were above the road even when the road is wet. The amount of light that is reflected off something above a wet road wouldn't change much whether the road is soaking wet or bone dry. And it's the light that is reflected off an obstacle that's important in perceiving those obstacles (well, that, and the contrast of the obstacle).
I just want to say thank you for putting this together as a free resource. Clearly a lot of effort went into this (and you all are making it better over time)

Yeah, I keep getting stuck on the early test positivity stats in the US. Over the last two weeks, only the most urgent cases were getting tested. But even then, something like 92 - 98% of tests were negative. There are a lot of illnesses out there that are presenting as close enough to COVID to concern health workers, even when it's not COVID.

People don't talk about it much yet, but we really need an immunity test to determine if someone has antibodies.

How founders can plan their finances in the coronavirus age
Nope, the law of identity is incoherent and doesn't exist in physical reality. I'm extremely frustrated that Western Philosophy has reasoned about this extremely poorly and the assumptions made from antiquity seem to continue to be unquestioned.

The Cogito, or other ontological foundations of existence which rely on appearances are completely wrong. "I think therefor I am?" How do you know that you are thinking? How do you know that appearances of thinking are actually in existence? It's possible that you did not think! and that what you believe to be existence is not existence at all.

At best, you can say "it appears to me that I think therefor it appears that I exist". You cannot just escape radical doubt because of appearances.

Also, the no-cloning (and the other no-go) theorems and bells theorem (no determinism) seem to imply that Quantum Theory has concluded that the law of identity doesn't hold up in reality. Objects are NOT equal to themselves. We do not know that a fundamental minimal quantized unit of time exists, meaning that we cannot say that "an object is equal to itself at a particular time". If we accept the Kantian thesis that time and space are the "vessel" or "canvas" of reality, than it's not possible to confirm that an object exists in the same point in time, and the same point of space with itself without a fundamental minimal quantized unit to measure those in.

You should instead conclude that the metaphysical constitution of objects is ultimately in-determinant

The law of in-determinancy would say that "objects can be infinitesimally close to identical with themselves"

A =/= A. The left-side A exists in a different point in time and space as the right-side A. You cannot even think of these in your own mind at the same time, in the same part of your "mind-space". There is no verifiable measure of the "present" so we cannot constitute an object in exactly one point of time and space at a particular "moment"

All of what I've just said is basically a more modern version of Nietzsche's revulsion to the exact same "A = A" crap that was being thrown around in his own time.

tl;dr you don't know that you exist

Assuming you (or generic potential customer) are on board with magic link based authn and its benefits, you're right that specifically Okta's early access passwordless authentication[1] offering is a direct competitor. Some reason's you might pick JustAuthenticateMe include:

- Okta is a complex product that handles much more than your use case requires. Setting up a single purpose tool like JustAuthenticateMe will be more straightforward than finding the correct combination of Okta settings.

- JustAuthenticateMe has friendlier pricing that aligns closer with the value you get. Okta charges for monthly active users, while JustAuthenticateme charges for successful logins per month.

- JustAuthenticateMe doesn't keep a database of your users that your app needs to keep in sync with.

- JustAuthenticateMe's web js library is over 10x smaller.

Would love to hear if you think any of those are strong enough reasons to choose a smaller product in certain cases.

Edit: Clarified pricing.

Aw man. I feel you there. That's tough. But cute...good memories. Haha.

Melatonin works well for me too, though the effect does wear off as you said. You might check out the "bi-layer" melatonin tablets. I haven't tried them, but they are available.

I'm one of those freaks who is OK using doxylamine after researching it, and I find it really beneficial on top of the melatonin. It has a staying power for sleep that's really nice. When I take it, I take about 8mg, which is something like a third of a tablet but they're easy to break up.

I wonder also if one could split up the melatonin effect by putting a second tablet inside something like a small piece of cheese, for a simple time-release mechanism.

I also found that sleep cycles matter a lot to my body. If I wake up early, it's probably right on the button, 4-5 90-minute sleep cycles in. Falling asleep at this point is hard just because of where I'm at in the natural cycle. So it's usually a matter of waiting in bed for sleep to come back. I use these techniques to help me wait it out:

- Turning on a long lecture or podcast that I've listened to before. There is a scientific lecture on sleep and dreaming that works really well. :-) I use an XHDATA D-328 which has tactile playback controls and no screen. I also put some relaxation / ambient tracks on the memory card.

- Designing houses, neighborhoods, and vehicles in my imagination. I get into the most tactile details that I can.

- Making some quick changes to get more comfortable: Shedding clothing if necessary, a quick trip to the bathroom, a drink of water, fixing my pillow.

I also like to use this calculator periodically to get a rough idea of how my sleep cycles are going to work:

https://sleepyti.me/

Anyway...I know you said you tried everything. So I mainly posted this to mention the bi-layer melatonin.
Especially confusing since "get" to my knowledge has been the conventional keyword used for this action in the vast majority of parser games and MUDs (maybe "take" in some cases, but "pick-up"? Really?). I'm a native English-speaker and that still probably would have stumped me for a while.
Thanks, that's helpful.

My personal vision of UBI is that it should provide what you need to live but not what you need to have a good life - i.e., if you so much as want a Switch with Animal Crossing, you have to contribute to the system and earn it (via labor or otherwise - in this system you could still get arbitrarily rich, and you can reinvest your earnings), but if you want (non-fancy) meals and (personal) housing and medical care, nothing is required from you, we treat that as an inalienable right. I think such a system still maintains the link you want to protect, right?

Maybe this is not really what people mean by UBI? (Perhaps I should call this "welfare without means-testing" or something?)
I looked through it but couldn't understand what the proposal is from the pictures. A blog post would be more helpful.
Mainly it will help improve latency at inference time. For preprocessing training one can always add more threads, but not at inference time.
Everyone ought to be really aware, before trying to overascribe this to particular groups of people, that the US is nearing a massive problem from Chronic Wasting Disease which could be a 100% currently fatal human-to-human retransmissible prion. We are currently mismanaging to it, and given the environmental persistence and difficulties destroying prions, could put this to shame.

The most recent H1N1 influenza (2009) which has been widely in the news originated in N. America (Mexico or US). The first "Spanish" flu H1N1 cases were in Kansas in 1917.

China should deal with wet markets with wild game. They are a profoundly dangerous environment for zoonotic crossover. It a good bet there will be changes since China had such a close brush with collapse. Nobody should think this is unique to China since it's false and unhelpful.
Yes, but that self-reference happens outside the formal language, not within it. Gödel encoded formal statements in the language as integers, and thus turned the question of provability into statements of arithmetic. If the formal system is powerful enough to let you reason about arithmetic, you can thus trick the system to be self-referential, but only via this mechanism external to the system itself.

This is just a panic created on social media.
The 'excuse' is that Berlin is a relatively old city with little over-air infrastructure and that the ex-national-monopolist (DTAG) doesn't not need to give access to its infrastructure (trenches, tunnels, posts, etc) to other ISPs. This is in contrast, for example, with how the ex-national-monopolist (Orange) operates in Poland - they have to give you access to their infrastructure trenches/tunnels, extremely cheap (around $25 per km per month), by law.

The only thing that DTAG has to do is allow local loop access for unbundling - and this is why the biggest freedom of choice within the Internet market in Germany you see is that you can choose from 10 different ADSL ISPs. However, since they all use the same shitty old copper it's effectively zero choice.

Uh, from the literal headline of the article itself, the apology is probably because he blamed it on, quote, "inferior Chinese culture".

Does not work that way. How do you think Iran and North Korea are connected to Internet in the first place?

For NTT and US, such a situation would be a PR disaster. It would be very difficult for them to explain to the public, why they are applying foreign laws to Japanese citizens.

Even US knows that, and they would never push for such draconian thing.
Note that Gitlab hosts on Google Cloud, which blocks all traffic from sanctioned countries on a network level. No IP packages from US sanctioned countries reach any service hosted on Google Cloud, including OpenSource gitlab repos.
This looks like a terrible but honest mistake. The repo is already back, after something like an hour and a half. The . io website is not back yet, but I suspect that takes a moment to get back running.

I agree that having a more "realistic" model that simulates people's social interactions is important, especially as we look to predicting longer term effects. This is something that is on the long-term roadmap for our model here, although as of now its on the back-burner while we deal with more immediate concerns like hospital allocation.

It's rich hearing mechanical keyboard fans panning Apple keyboards on price.

The sole reason mechanical keyboards are still sold is because some people prefer the feel of them and are willing to pay extra for that finger feel. Similarly, the reason people pay a premium for Apple's keyboards is because people prefer the feel of them. Prior to the butterfly keyboard, it was one of the big reasons people preferred Apple laptops.

Since few of the most die-hard mechanical keyboard fans are willing to haul around their bulky keyboards with sweet Cherry Blue switches, choices for good quality keyboards on the go is fairly limited and the Apple Magic keyboard is high on the list, and yes, people are willing to pay for that experience.

The concern is that an artifically-created economic recovery could be a political goal, and might not align with the interests of humanitarian response; nor indeed with longer-term genuine economic recovery.

You're no doubt correct that the same result could likely be achieved in other ways too.
Devops types are sysadmins that cost more for mostly the same skillset (you know cloud primitives, you know infra as code, you know some python/bash or powershell depending on the underlying OS). Facilities, security, etc are usually covered by your hardware hosting provider, or colocation provider. Still a lower cost than cloud. You are still paying similar labor costs regardless if you're in the cloud or have your own metal.

Disclaimer: Previously a devops/infra guy, before that ops/networking/sysadmin, built out colo facilities/datacenters/hosting companies before cloud. Have done a lot of cost models for storage and compute, still do on the side.

I find sanctions vastly better than the alternative at that level, which would be some sort of blockade or other military intervention.
