I'm not concluding that it's simply ageism, because this is feedback I'm getting from mock interviews, not real ones. Professionals tend to be more honest and open about how you interview if it's just for practice.

However the fact that you are using numbered levels instead of broader decscriptors like "junior" and "senior" means that we are thinking on different wavelengths. I guess you're talking Google-ese because it is harder to know what is "L3" without context.

I have obtained various kinds of feedback and working on some of my weaknesses, but "underqualified" and "repeating the same basic experience many times" are the most common themes.
I think the main long term benefit of buying NeXT was getting Steve back. I left Apple a year or so before this happened (I remember Gil being all excited talking about Apple to the staff right before he realized what a disaster it was and we never saw him again around Infinite Loop) but I left because I was sure doing what they were doing would be the end of Apple. The OS and kernel were nice, the smart people from NeXT made a huge difference, but Steve was, Steve.

If I'd know this would happen I would have never left.
> "There isn't really a right or wrong way to Lego."

Totally agree, there are so many ways to build and play. I know some people who are collectors, some who are remixers, some build from scratch. Some build big, some build small, etc. (Would also echo the budget comment ;) )

Some other resources I'd recommend: https://www.brothers-brick.com/ and the subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/ . There are also great forum communities out there for different sub-interests.
For those of you fluent in K, when you glance at these, is their function apparent, or do you have to sit down and diagram them out?

Does any license in particular effect the trade sanctions? MIT for example in my eyes would be the most lax, does that mean that it does not apply for trade sanctions ?

Open source based on government sanctions kinda feels like some oxymoron.

Not at least with HTML 4 and XHTML. HTML didn't harbour presentation information. It told the browser the structure of the document.

If you look at other document writing system such as LaTeX. You will see that there are Sections, SubSections etc.

The link to the CSS simply told the browser how these should be presented. LaTeX has something similar as you can create a document class and Word has different styles you can import.

Having a concept of a document structure with a set of styles attached which you can change easily is a good idea.

The HTML document should make sense without a style sheet and if you write/generate semantic markup it does work properly.

One observation I had while playing with the numbers was: The most accurately shaped curves were achieved by adjusting the "seasonal forcing" to values between 0.5 and 0.6 [1]

I extended the time range to one year and lo and behold there was the gigantic hump in all curves.

I hope that testing kits will be amply available within the next few months so that we can emulate the success of Vò [2]

[1] I believe best-fitting curves are a miss-representation as many cases are not recorded, this is why I optimized for a shape that counted the "Infectious"consistently above the "confirmed cases" by the factor of 2-4. I am curious to learn how well my assumptions hold up.

It is absolutely an overreaction, and I don't see myself going through with something like that. I use the site probably daily and feel like I have to donate.
Agreed. I think hand hygiene in the west is probably better (I’ve never seen anyone use hand sanitizer in China, and saw more people leaving the restroom without washing their hands - anecdotal) but China is definitely better about respiratory precautions. And certainly China acted much quicker than most western countries have in slowing the spread. From in-law family I have in China, there also were no food or home food shortages like there are in many western countries now for unclear reasons. Unclear if there is just lack of hoarding behavior or if the stores and/or government immediately restricted panic buying.

Excellent question!

Here's the answer: We have no idea!

Blood type antigens are complex carbohydrates, and A/B/O is the difference between N-acetyl-Galactosamine/Galactose/nothing at the end of a sugar chain.

So let's talk about Coronavirus and sugars. SARS-COV-2 (and the prequel for that matter) are relatively unique for viruses because they don't (as far as we know) use sugars (sialic acids to be specific) to bind to cells, unlike all of our other favourite viruses (e.g. influenza).

BUT that's not the only place it could matter. Maybe sugars help organise the membrane to increase multivalent reactions, and there's some galectin that binds to B antigen.

Or the virus itself somehow carries the antigen, and A/B protects against furin processing?

Lots of possibilities. First thing I would check for is co-expression of ABO with ACE2. If it's not in the same cells, then I have NO idea how it works.
Do you though? Really?

Hey Nicholas, love the tool - great job! I'm working on a new modelling tool (https://causal.app) and built a COVID-19 model myself: https://my.causal.app/models/1432.
This lets you easily run Monte-Carlo simulations. Might be useful for you. But maybe your model is too advanced for Causal.

Does anyone know of public ISP dashboards that show used/total capacity on their network in terms of customer usage?

I'm sure its trivial for an internal employee to pull up solarwinds or whatever, but I'd be curious to see if these ISPs are merely running above normal, running hot, barely hanging on with intermittent "isp brownouts" etc.

This is probably a pipe dream but not gonna get any questions answered if I don't ask.
What if it's still 4k with reduced bit rate ? It's not like netflix 4k looks good anyway, chances are you won't tell the difference
So two things...

First, one of the reasons HTML has been as successful and widespread as it has been is that mere mortals are able to use it, not just trained software engineers and designers. Mere mortals may not make such decisions on a lark, but they might make the decision incorrectly and have to go back and change it for that reason. Why make more work for yourself than necessary?

Second, making changes is not the only reason to make code DRY. Re-using TR and TD tags is analogous to operator overloading. If you want to add two numbers you want to be able to write x+y and have the compiler figure out whether that means an integer add, a floating point add, etc. You don't want to have to write (say) x II+ y if you want to add two integers, x FF+ y to add two floats, x LL+ y to add two longs, etc. It's the same for table rows and cells. The mental distance between tables-for-layout and tables-for-structure is smaller than the mental distance between integers and floats. It's just annoying to have to keep telling the computer over and over and over again "this is for layout" or "this is for structure" particularly in a case where the number of repetitions can be very, very large. There is no value add in forcing someone to do substantially more typing when the thing being typed contains no additional information that the system does not already have.
I always read the second incompleteness theorem as important /because/ of the connection to truth.

I think we (many, anyway) want to believe something like Leibniz' principle of sufficient reason: that every true statement has some sufficient reason for being so. We naturally interpret proofs in a formal system as that "sufficient reason". If we could prove from within a system that all and only consistent statements have a proof -- then that's great news! Maybe that system is Truth, or if it isn't maybe that's evidence some other system like it could be.

So Godel's work crushed this hope. No system can prove itself consistent, so there is no system under which the principle of sufficient reason is true. Maybe then we shouldn't believe it! Then are there truths that are true for no reason at all...?

But of course, there are many readings here -- many different roads to being thwarted by Godel :)
If that's the case then I am sorry for my earlier comment, Wikipedia is a treasure and you are doing amazing work!
IT security report finds 97% have suspicious network activity
Sure, you can complain that Google haven’t given everything away for free.

However the open source AOSP has been amazing - lots of innovation from individuals and other companies has occurred because they could start a project using AOSP.

Also because Android is based on Linux, drivers have been released and improvements have happened to the kernel. Compare that to what you get from Apple with Mach (or iOS).

It feels to me that you are complaining because someone gave you a free beer, but only half filled the glass.

That's why containers are a security disaster.

Aaron Swartz was trying to share pre-1923 articles (this was basically the cutoff for public domain content in the U.S. at the time, ignoring more challenging issues such as whether the copyright was renewed and whether that actually means that a post-1920s item might be in the public domain). JSTOR has actually been making that content broadly available for quite some time.
DDoS Attack Targets German Food Delivery Service
it's just a thing that is low-hanging fruit for people to complain about. i've never seen a coherent argument outside of "but it's not open source".
Agreed.

The hard part is that such insights come thru contemplation and reflection, things we're "too busy" to do in a vulnerable project. At the very least we're looking busy for appearance sake.

On the other hand, we often need to do a lot of this work to acquire empirical data. Details necessary to realize why a project isn't working. Thus why this kind of thing happens so often in project management, similar to a catch-22.
I believe Brave has them disabled by default or an option for it. It is a shame a good feature has been abused, but yes you are right it is to be expected.
So this:

> {.+(k;({x@&~_n~/:x}x@')'k:?,/!:'x)}

Turns a list of dictionaries to a dictionary of lists. It is clearly amazingly expressive as you can do so much in just half a line of code.

However, for someone not used to APL, this is utterly and totally unreadable. I can pick pretty much any ML derivative, C-style or lisp language and make heads and tails of most code, but with the above line I don't even know where to start. Might as well be hieroglyphs :)
Has Microsoft given some sort of explicit patent license for Powershell?
We do have rolling out Linux machines in our roadmap, hopefully quite soon.

Thanks for the feedback about fullscreen mode I agree it is annoying. We haven't yet figured out a simple way to communicate that choice but it's absolutely necessary.

Regarding security: This is obviously a question we get a lot. We're providing you with an isolated VM, it's not a shared resource. Only you have access to it. We are basically managing backups for your data as file system volumes. We don't have any further access to it. Dropbox was pre-installed for convenience but I see how that may be suspicious.
What does Disney have to do with this
Containers have uses, but yes if you expect them to be secure, you're in for a big surprise.

And last time I checked Kubernetes basically washes its hands of the problem, and maybe makes it worse by adding layers that obscure the security properties.

I worked on a Kube-like project from 2010-2015 and I was definitely horrified by the state of containers in the Linux kernel. Security is basically what made me give up on the project.
I'd say NixOS probably is not the right entry point if you are looking for a softer learning experience. NixOS is built on top of Nixpkgs package manager, which itself could be thought of as a side-effect of Nix - the DSL and a runtime for building software from source in a reproducible manner. If you start by learning how to employ Nix-the-build-tool in your daily software development practices, you will be amazed how little you need to learn in order to be productive with it, because there's essentially just one new concept - a derivation [1], the rest are just community-driven infrastructure and utility methods on top of it.

"Conclusion
Containers are clearly not the future.
You will eventually need to migrate completely off of containers and kubernetes and we are here to help."

While this does not negate the core idea, it summarizes the motivation and bias behind the arguments.
It also depends on the growth rate of the number of tests administered. If you exponentially grow the number of tests given (which one could argue is the case in many areas), the absolute number of “confirmed cases” will also look exponential.

If you start with a hypothesis that this virus is in wide global circulation already, all this testing is doing is confirming “yup, people have the virus!”.

Only way to prove or disprove the hypothesis that the virus is widespread is large scale testing of a truly random subset of the entire population. Last I checked that isn’t happening anywhere in the United States and possibly elsewhere.

Why is proving that hypothesis important? Because if true it means the severity of this virus is dramatically less than our limited data suggests. If true, most of the rather draconian measures we are taking are pointless.

If false, god help us all I guess...

Those are just arguments that mistake shouldn't have been made. Of course the mistake shouldn't have been made, that's what "mistake" means.

Why are you completely ignoring the exponential nature of coronavirus? The amount of deaths have doubled fairly quickly and are now at 10k worldwide. The number of cases worldwide continues to grow exponentially.

7 more doublings, which could happen as soon as 5 weeks from now (I believe the doubling rate is around ~5 days) would bring us to 1 million deaths. And there is no particular reason it would stop there.

My understanding is that it is not unlikely for something like half of the world to get infected if we can't contain it effectively. If the death rate is 1% -- which could easily be higher if the medical systems are overwhelmed -- then we are looking at 35 million dead.

Hey!

So basically they don't actually give you the $500 directly (which is probably for the better), but they'll be paying for any services that you need to get your project off the ground + provide guidance. You'd have to apply via their website, and they'll reach out to you--do a quick interview and if they like what they see they'll back your side project.
The US response has so far been fairly muted, with a few notable local exceptions. There are a lot more people stuck at home in Europe.

The gospel of separating styling from content comes from an era when most web sites were comprised of collections of hand crafted HTML documents, when it was a pain to make site wide changes to styling because it meant updating each of these documents by hand.

These days web sites are mostly comprised of HTML pages rendered on the fly by some type of web app which composes pages from nested templates injected with content from a database. In this scenario separating the styling from the markup gains us little, because to change the styling site wide you only have to update a few templates, not every single page that uses these templates.
