"Do we really think GM could, in effect, create an entirely new division in a couple of sprints?"

Actually, such things are done with some frequency, and the way you do it is precisely that you don't make "GM" do it. You spin people off entirely, fund them, take ownership of the resulting entity, and then tell GM qua GM to just take a hike. Run it as a startup that happens to have a really, really big brother.

In my observations, it's an unstable structure. Eventually the sponsor in the parent organization loses interest or power, and then someone in the parent corporation decides that their organization needs credit for what this little startup is doing, and sucks them back in, of course completely destroying the whole thing in the process. Behold the awesome destructive power of basic politics. Still, it can work for a while. In this particular case, "a while" is all we need.

AIUI, for at least a good long while, this was almost an officially unofficial way to get Microsoft to do something it lacked confidence in to do directly or couldn't get the organization as a whole to move on; grab a few of your buddies & spin yourself out, prove it works, and get acquihired back in.

I would like a hypothesis tested on individual alleles as I outlined in another comment: it's not that weak correlation if looked at that way, especially since eg. A* groups are present in Caucasian population in ~45% compared to ~35% in Asian population (numbers pulled from another site cited in that other comment of mine).
We should cut about $50-100B out of the military budget and make it for training medical personnel without raising tuition because it doesn't matter if there's no population to defend or recruit from.
I did not know about the lynx -dump option, that definitely sounds like something to look at!

Regarding the Zettelkasten, I started a few months ago and am still in the process of finding the optimal workflow. I indeed implemented it using a wiki software (vimwiki), using the Zettelkasten principles to guide how to grow it. I actually think principles are necessary for a successful wiki, I do not see many differences between saying "I keep my notes in a wiki" and "I keep my thoughts on paper", given the flexibility it offers. I have a few thoughts I plan to write down in a blog post (or post series), in particular on how it articulates with GTD, but I have no idea when I will have time. No problem contacting you when it is ready, I could find you online.
Page Previews, specifically Hovercards can be implemented in a very simple way with plain JS [^1] and is clearly an enhancement - everything works just fine if hovercards don't load.

But most features on Wikipedia aren't like that, and would be really hurt if you had to a JS bundle or otherwise deal with the usual bloated webapp nonsense. Wikipedia primarily needs to load quickly and be semantic with preferably simple infrastructure to help their budget.

[^1]: See Gwern.net for an example of an easy pure JS hovercard - https://www.gwern.net/DNB-FAQ
In his defense, I'll say that at many of the places I've worked, there have been vocal programmers who regarded writing SQL as a dumb graybeard party trick with the same relevance to modern software engineering as hand-crafting a binary. These are the people who, when their ORM generates an inefficient query, trumpet it as proof that the database was designed wrong, probably by people who wish their SQL skills weren't so hopelessly obsolete in the modern age.

I see this much less now than I did 10-20 years ago, so perhaps it has gone out of style, or perhaps it is a disease of large companies (which I haven't worked at in a decade.)

I recently brought this up with my team. As an "old-school" web developer, I buy in to the whole CSS as design thing, while the front-end engineers @ work switched to using styled react components. As we look to make substantive design changes, now we have multiple places to make the CSS changes, only now it's the SASS project and all of the React components / projects. I must be missing something about how hip and cool styled components are, but they'll never be as cool as the CSS Zen Garden :)

I understand them wanting to rewrite their old javascript code. After all, in the frontend world, the toolset currently used is ancient.

However, almost all of my experience with any Javascript framework describing itself as "modern" is a white page with no content of {{ placeholder }}a everywhere text should be.

Several comments on the RFC already seem to state the intention to slowly change Wikimedia into a more "interactive" experience. What I fear is that a framework such as Vue will make it _too_ easy to make everything flashy and modern and suddenly you end up with another SPA where a website should be.

The RFC talks about this shortly and mentions server side rendering but not much about what should be rendered server side and what shouldn't. The overview of problems seems more like a lack of structure than a need for a heavy JS library.

I am very cautious of anyone claiming they need JS for a web page. Applications such as the editors and turning into javascript programs is not something I worry about, but several annoyances new Wikipedia features have already brought me (especially on mobile) make me cautious of any suggestion to add even more javascript.
That's fine. For 95% of the queries you need, ActiveRecord-ish implementations are perfectly performant, and super readable. For the rest, they allow you to drop down to the SQL layer and specify exactly what you want or need.
Server side rendering is slow and expensive. Wikipedia needs to be fast for all of it's users, and needs to be very cost centric.

Why on earth should they go the extra mile of creating a sandboxed UNIX-like environment for the sake of a few power users who desire to run terminal commands which cannot (if they follow their own rules) affect other applications and/or interact in any stateful manner with the filesystem?

To be blunt, this is an extremely common thing in web development and it makes me very sad. But whenever I raise it I’m rebuffed with the vague argument that “developer productivity = more features = better user experience”. Which sounds great in theory but a crappy experience is a crappy experience no matter how many features you put on top.

Go look at the lighthouse scores for pages that use React + Redux + whatever + blah blah and tell me the user experience isn’t sub par. Especially for an organisation like MediaWiki page load time is absolutely critical. I really hope they are sensible enough to choose something lightweight.
It is not. The devs initially wanted to make some drastic changes. But Community feedback was very vocal and very negative. Since their main source of income is the community(not FAANG), they reverted their stance
This is a field that will test that again and again. The way I look at it is we all sacrifice our well-being and free time to get ahead in this industry and get conditioned to believe self-neglect and selflessness equals more money. Generally, a point of diminishing returns approaches and that's when to make a decision. When the market goes south many more people become willing to work for less and do without just to stay employed. The market never readjusts after these shifts usually it takes a transformative technology like mobile, cloud, or new infrastructure to lift itself back up again. This in turn requires more education or learning skills and starting over again. The next move should be learning what's "next" and if you do that things will probably be mostly OK. It's a gamble but if you believe in yourself invest in yourself and don't fall into the trap of using those same skills working a lot more for a lot less. Instead of throwing the towel in consider charting that course to a better place.

Is It Time to Rethink Globalized Supply Chains?
It’s not infinite, it better be timeout but frequently isn’t and yes there is variance to it but usually (handwave) not any more variant than the tail percentile that teams choose.

I’ve had the experience multiple times where simply shifting a graph to max shows that timeouts/load shedding is t working, then teams get to the point where they are hitting timeouts way more than they thought. Only after working through those issues do you get to actually improving latency.

The upside of simplicity in the number is only overtaken by the downside when you start chasing real time constraints in systems that don’t need it.
React won’t work well on 2G cell phones with slow CPUs. It’s a giant library both to download and parse and most of it is entirely unnecessary.

Why do you want to learn compilers?

Often times many try to learn something because they think they should, and not because they want too or need too.

But to be honest, I believe your underlying issue is anxiety/depression, and not "how to learn"

I really wonder what future historians will say about this hysteria and the economic damage it causes.

1) 80% of Americans would get the disease That sounds scary (big number!!). But I'm getting tired of the constant reporting of each and every infection. What is really relevant is infections of at-risk groups. Most infections, nothing happens!

2) 8-15% of all Americans over 70 would die. Newsflash: Old people tend to die more often than young people. What is the all-cause i.e. normal mortality rate of the elderly. One number I saw cited: all-cause mortality of 83/84 yo's in the US ~7 percent. Case mortality rate i.e. with infection in Korea among 80+ yo's: 7.4 percent. What am I missing here? Are the reported covid mortality rates all normalized by all-cause mortality and they report only real "excess" deaths or are they lumping everything together? This would be so mind-numbingly stupid, I really hope I'm wrong about this!

3) 0.9% of them would die. That's the unconditional number, all age cohorts aggregated. Split them up and the number is clearly skewed by the large number of the elderly (and see 2 above). Now factor in that testing outside Korea, Taiwan etc. is really bad and focused on symptomatic cases. Common estimate of how high are the true numbers of infected is around one order of magnitude. Let's assume the official stats are off by a factor of ten. Let's further assume that young people (say, below 65) are "more social" or mobile than elderly and thus likelier to get infected. That means a) the undercount is dominated by younger people and b) the mortality rates are off by more than ten. At what point are we getting to mortality rates of common influenza?

4) There are basically two ways to die from the virus: a) immune system overwhelmed by virus or b) immune system overreacts. Younger, healthy people ( < 65 yo) seem to die more from b. Now look into who are the victims in this cohort and it turns out mostly medical professionals. Due to lack of preparation and equipment, those medical professionals are exposed to disproportionately higher or even extreme quantities of the virus. This seems consistent with b. Also, it means that the mortality rates of younger, healthy people is skewed by counting medical- and non-medical people together.

In sum, I think this is a total overreaction and panic that causes huge economic damage (which has a big human cost, in terms of lives lost, as well make no mistake) for what may turn out to be basically nothing.

What am I missing?

[EDIT: I'd prefer we focus on the at-risk groups (elderly and pre-existing conditions like obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc) instead of just blanket-everybody. Isolate the at-risk groups until vaccine and/or medication are developed and let everyone else basically develop herd immunity until then. Increase testing. And basically use this as a call for more general health measures, not just virus panic. The immune system depends on sleep, nutrition, mental health/hormone balance, etc. With the panic and the economic crash induced by it, all these factors are becoming negative instead of positive factors for most people now.]
AFAIK Apple favors FreeBSD and NetBSD (the latter used for the Airport routers). I wouldn’t be surprised if they have contributed code to those projects.
no that is exactly what I am not doing, hence my starting off my explanation with:

"if 50% to 75% of cases are asymptomatic that means 25% to 50% are symptomatic."

then I go ahead and choose a number (400000) which is on the optimistic end of this range - 80894 is 20.2% of 400000 - I believe that is quite clear, if 80894 is 20.2% of 400000 and 80894 is the amount of total cases counted in China (no longer the case) then I am assuming 79.8% people asymptomatic that have not been counted! (although of course I did some simplifying of things around so my percentages and numbers are not exact, but I think given the linked article slightly under 320000 people being asymptomatic and 80894 being symptomatic is a very optimistic take)

what number do you want to assume is not counted? millions? I assume that from your earlier post but that does not follow from the 50% to 75% cases are asymptomatic.

Obviously if 50% to 75% are asymptomatic and you had 1 million people infected all together (symptomatic and asymptomatic) that would mean you needed to have at least 250000 (25% of a million) to 500000 (50% of a million) people symptomatic. But we don't have those numbers symptomatic, we have slightly under 81000.

For example, /sbin/sh was statically linked on the various flavors of Unix, while /bin/sh was dynamically linked.

So, I suppose it's really both. The statically linked shell would allow you to upgrade the shared libc, for example. Which is both "system" and "static" related.

Team lead of Vue.js here. Clarifying a few points being raised in this thread:

- This does not mean Wikipedia is becoming an SPA. One of the reasons they picked Vue is because Vue can be used to progressively enhance a statically rendered page (just like jQuery, but with a declarative development paradigm), and it allows you to do so without a build step (while keeping the going-full-build-step option open).

- Wikimedia is not just Wikipedia. There are many other use cases across the Foundation where heavy interactivity is needed. Even within Wikipedia, there are cases like the editor / edit mode which can be considered non-trivial JavaScript applications.

- Adopting a new framework !== More JavaScript. Wikimedia already has an in-house framework which has become outdated and difficult to maintain. Adopting Vue allows the team to implement the same features with less code. It will shave off instead of adding to the bloat.

Unfortunately the existing public data sets I've seen lack this information.

> Why anyone would go to gold during a societal collapse I will never know

Depends on the type of collapse. For a localized collapse during which the rest of the world is better off, gold is great to have, as it will generally garner better purchasing power for global goods than the local currency.

But yes, gold won't be particularly useful in anything resembling a global collapse.
