There are some similarities. The most obvious mapping is parser theory. For example, Chomsky - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky#Transformational-... .

There are also times when I feel like I'm using a peephole optimizer, as I change certain constructs in English to a foreign language.

Bear in mind that expertise in other fields may also transfer into learning a new language. For example, my English classes taught some linguistics (tenses, prepositions, etc. as well as the Latin and Greek origins of some words) and that can help learn related foreign languages.
Although Motif was only bearable with help of Roguewave's Motif++.
i'm sure that argument is very reliable, from a pro-vegan blog.

easy counterpoints: assuming it is shelf-stable, it would seem like an excellent option to buy it if you had no power? and if they are shelf-stable, why not store them - you know - on a shelf, and not in the perishable rack? seems cheaper, i don't quite follow. you don't store spam in a refrigerator. also, if the power did go off, and caused the refrigeration to fail, and supply chains were down, how did some ostensibly perishable items remain in the rack? (i guess it's possible staff checked them, or something else.)

but fair enough, neither of us are journalists. and they definitely should be doing some kind of fact checking.

Certain standard-library functions actually do seem to get special treatment by the C standard.

memcpy and memmove get special treatment regarding effective type. I don't think there's any such special treatment for memset.

It supports both Discord and Slack, is lighter, customizable and almost at feature parity with the official clients (except for a few things the dev refuses to do for philosophical reasons or whatever). If Slack hired this guy, I bet he'd be able to crush the official client within a month.

The sewers have put all the nightsoil men out business, yet I say society is better for automated toilets.
Yes. But it does not matter.

We do not do science for some high level goal of "Benefit for humanity". I love stars, I like astronomy, and when I study the stars, I do not think about how my study would impact humanity. I just study them because I find them interesting. (Studying star systems do not actually have much impact on humanity in general, mostly).

Attempting to qualify science only limits it.
> That said, UBI is quite literal wealth redistribution. You take taxes from the haves and give the cash directly to the hands of the have nots.

Society is wealth distribution. Wealth doesn't exist outside of society. The US's existence is wealth distribution. Stealing land from natives to give to settlers. Stealing african's labor and distributing the wealth among slave owners. The rights to oil, resources, etc are wealth distribution.

Also, no wealth of any significance is ever earned by an individual. I hate how people say, Bezos, Gates, etc earned their wealth. Bezos didn't earn $100 billion. There is no way one person can physically earn that much. Bezos can't physically sell 100 billion items from the dollar menu. Wealth is generated by laws and cooperation and a fair/unfair distribution of value generated. Simple as that.

Also, don't give me the "great man" bullshit. Had bezos never been born, we'd still have an amazon of some kind. Jobs death didn't end Apple. There's always a "great man" to fill any void.

> There's a point where it becomes unethical and/or counterproductive...but where that point is perhaps remains to be seen.

Agreed. It's probably impossible to reach a happy medium since people always want more and whichever side gets a slight advantage will use it to further advantage themselves until society skews to one side and collapses.

Also, the other side of the coin is at what point does wealth accumulation become unethical and/or counterproductive.
> ...it is easy to slowly whittle down a social program in those cases. But a Universal BI means that any changes or cuts to the program will impact everyone

Sure, because the effect will be permanent removal rather than slow whittling down of other programs people depended on, and the people that depended on them will have to make do with whatever lesser payment the government can afford to pay out to much larger numbers of net recipients of a UBI

"Hey America, here is $1000, and $2000 in extra taxes to fund all those people that didn't need welfare before" is also a surprisingly hard sell. It's only an easy sell when you assume everyone's a net beneficiary

BioCubaFarma Guarantees Production of Drugs for Covid-19
I'm not entirely sure how that is an example I asked for. In this case, it seems like the compiler in both cases was able to see that the loop always terminates, either by hitting 0 directly, or by wrapping around and then hitting 0, or by simply assuming integer underflow to be UB.
"So the important thing is how they make npm economically viable."

Thats not the important thing, thats the problem. Npm could easily be an open source client. Contain less code and be better. And have a mirors system like every other repo so it does not need money for hosting.

Npm wanted to control nodejs and make money out it. And they have.

Microsoft purchased that control and plan to make money out of it.

This is bad news for OS dev.
If the supply was there I'd absolutely agree. At least in the US it's very hard to get adequate masks right now (this is partly due to a failure to maintain supply, there were some news stories recently about how a local manufacturer was begging the government to invest in this so he could maintain production)
it always sounds weird until it isn’t. the container is the most important characteristics of a book. to pass it off as irrelevant is not only intellectually dishonest but also just plain wrong.
What will they do concretely? They already missed a window of 2 months ago where they could have had an impact by censuring WHO, European governments and news agency that were spreading fake news in the like of "it's just a flu", "2% mortality".
Never outsource your thinking to someone else. We live in an age where you can do your own research quite easily.

With any other hard physical science, the math is derivable. I can look at the equations for special relativity, I can read about the aether-related theories that preceded it (which were consensus at the time), I can see where they fell short and how they failed to measure up, I can read about Einstein's thought experiments that the led to the theory, I can read about the fundamental experiments that validated the theory. I can see how it evolved since then and led to developments in quantum physics. I can do all this. And I submit to you that if quantum physics is accessible then certainly climate science and geology are accessible. We have Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, numerous sources for contemporary publications and you can absolutely follow it and you can play a part in it. And then you will know the topic.
> To avoid paying taxes, most employers strive to employ their workers via contracts meant for part-time or gig work, or through B2B (thus we have lots of sole proprietorships "entrepreneurs" in the country). Most protections don't kick in there.

I know that this "loop hole" exists where I live too, but AFAIK it's either used by very small companies, which can fly "under the radar" or it's not done at all, because inspecting agencies will quickly stop this.

Where I live if you work for employer like a full-time long-term employee - you are full-time long-term employee, and cannot work as a "freelancer"/sole proprietor-contractor (I do not know exact terms in English, but I think we'll understand each other). Work inspection will check this employer rather soon. Usually, because competitor or some employee will make an anonymous report.

If you agree to work on this loop hole - then it's your problem - work as a full time employee, or charge enough to compensate yourself for possible downtime during illness.

Big enterprises definitely do not use this kind of loop hole.
In England there are "n day off a year before being disciplined" clauses for many jobs.

Who can afford time off work when you're going to get fired for being ill?

It's wrong, and it does impact the whole company when someone comes in when they shouldn't, but there are several reasons why people get disciplined.

A lot of people would like to stay off work and get paid.
Hangovers.
Stress because of working conditions.

Just off the top of my head.

England is not a nice place to work for a lot of people.

I have similar symptoms to yours. I live in Paris and the number of cases here are exploding, but so far for me the mains symptoms are an high temperature, general tiredness and a sore throat/ dry eyes. So far so good, but each day passing I feel a bit more tired. The doctor advised me to take paracetamol every 4 hours, and to stay inside. Also here in France, they are sending SMS to any suspected case with advices and to know if the symptoms are evolving towards the worse case, which is the difficulty to breath.

> If the person you are speaking with don't think about the people in such terms, don't treat them as such and socializes primary with people who don't treat him in such a way, then that person is not closing eyes from anything.

My experience is: they don't think about people and their interaction at all. If you ask them why something is happening etc, i.e. get them thinking about it, they'll start to come up with explanations that sound a lot like that.

Which is fine, btw. Nobody has to think about anything if they're happy and doing well, questioning things might change that. If you're in a good place, you don't need to move. But thinking isn't really a choice, and neither are beliefs, mental models and experiences. Blaming those that weren't blessed with an intuitive access to relationships sounds a lot like blaming the poor for not being born rich or telling a depressed person to "just stop being sad".
It's in the statement. Elevate official and authoritative information over fake news and lies.

Blah, WireGuard ain't necessarily superior by technical means, but being open source & easy to use solution, its efforts are crucial for the secure communications sector to go forward. All this FUD is just telling there is a strong need for tools like WireGuard.

One of the things that impressed me greatly when I used CDE years after using more modern desktop environments was how easy it was to use everything without a mouse. Modern desktop environments do let you do everything without a mouse, but not use everything: many components are mouse-only, but equivalent functionality is available elsewhere for keyboard users. In CDE, the components themselves were keyboard accessible. Hope this follows the same design, may give it a try to find out.
The issue is that these companies are now providing a platform for the "village idiot", and it's up to people to differentiate truth from falsehoods, which is surprisingly difficult to do on a topic you don't know anyything about.
Last I checked Twitter had suspended an account who was providing relevant information out of China when the virus was still mostly affecting only them, I think that was around February 20th or so. Yeah, that account was also publishing videos that some might have thought as too bleak (i.e. videos of very desperate people), but that was the actual situation on the ground in Hubei province. Had we listened to videos like those earlier we wouldn't have been in this situation.
Do you think the world could handle two years of two supply chains being disrupted and shut down?

Guessing why the markets do something is like reading the future in the guts of a chicken!

But I think the market is reacting not to the virus, which by itself would have a limited economic impact (and if you think that it affects mostly the elderly, from a pure, cold economic point of view, would rather reduce the long term burden on healthcare, so would be a net economic benefit).

I think the market instead reacts to the actions taken to contain the virus, which will likely severely supress the economic activity. Until there is any sign of these actions being reversed (and everything is pointing to the opposite, with France and the EU hinting at more restrictions yesterday), it is rational for the market to be bearish.

Then as always there are other considerations, stocks were overly expensive, economic cycles, over leverage, etc.
The "internet companies" are trying to tackle something that is beyond their control and from the looks of it is close to impossible to contain misinformation and disinformation. So it results them to have a deep integration into our lives and the way the internet works in general. (Google and Facebook can never be taken down, even when they still have content seen as 'offensive', 'misleading' or just completely false by some).

"Don't believe everything you see or hear on the internet" - The Internet
In Italy more than 300 people die every day, the overall mortality rate is between 3% and 8% this is 10 times more than 0.4%. Even if 50%-75% are asymptomatic, there is still large percentage of critical cases that need ICU treatment and currently we are not prepared for it.

For me the title should be 25% of cases require treatment in hospital and we are not able to put 25% of population into hospitals, so, very likely 3%-8% will have to die (3% - WHO estimate, 8% - real numbers we have for now).

I've been moderating a handful of communities over on Reddit for about ten years now, among them several are focused on hearing health. Something I see as a matter of routine is the roughly 21 day arc of folks learning that some aliment exists to speaking intentionally as if they are an educated medical professional, while essentially medical rumour and legend mongering.

I don't think this is limited to those with issues of hearing health and I suspect that, while it's more common in circles where doctors often give unspecific bad news with no real resolution (something that many folks don't want to hear), it's not limited to them either.

Right now on Reddit there are scores of subreddits focused on COVID-19 and the Coronavirus, with really terrible moderation. If the admins were actually serious about dealing with missinfo they'd be shutting more than a few down.
Do you think the European political leadership will take any lessons from this? It's been good to see some doctors stepping up and spreading information, particularly from Italy.

"Official and authoritative information" in Germany is that only 17 people have died out of the 7500+ officially infected with the virus, with "official information" like that it's not hard for "unofficial information" to be closer to the truth on the ground.
For the people who fly it's a much bigger portion of their impact as even in the US more than half of people don't fly in any one year.
