The reaction to this point seems to have been dismissive (ironic in a thread that started with a complaint about dismissing small distinctions!), but I think the distinction you're making is an important one. In Haskell, it's the difference between `minimum` and `minimumBy`.

The point about strings is different. It doesn't make sense in general to speak of the minimum string in a list, or, more generally, the minimum of a partially ordered set; but it does make perfectly good sense to sort a partially ordered set, with the idea that there are multiple correct sorts when elements are incomparable. That, of course, is where the notion of a stable sort becomes important.

Is the growth of testing also exponential? Cause if it is, than it follows the confirmed infected will also look exponential even if the underlying actual growth number is totally different.

You can make anything fit an exponential curve if you try hard enough.
Totally. To back this up with a real world example, Apple screwed up the throttling of the i9 MacBooks originally, causing them to be over throttled. A software update that pretty much amounted to an MSR write on boot fixed it.

Why does Intel let OEMs play with that? It's to give OEMs a knob they can play with to balance perf and price for their segment. It lets OEMs cheap out on cooling (or go with new form factors like the tiny GPD models) and go with the low minimums, or have a full system that's capable of higher TDP like Apple's tend to be.
I had high expectations that Google would figure out Chrome on tablets with Android. But they couldn't even make a good Chrome touch experience. The lag was pretty bad and then the whole effort was killed off.

Same here. I like my (cheap) iPad and I use it a lot, but before I can develop software on it, it's definitely not a real computer. It's something which is nice to read, watch movies on etc.

I must say; if I could program on it, I probably would not have a laptop anymore. 2 years ago my laptop was being repaired and I had to spend 2 months (don't ask) with my iPad Pro; I worked with Termius + Remotix for developing apps + sites + api's and it works fine as long as the connection is good. I was in HK and the 4g internet is great all over the place, even on the ferry. It's not ideal but it's really quite good.

Well there's an integrated GPU sure - it does 'technically have a real gpu'.

But there no options for CUDA applications, and no options for similar applications on the AMD side. Depending on your use case, the iGPU might not be powerful enough for your needs even without ML programs if you have multiple monitors (and one is 4k).
I do believe that the author's heart is in the right place here, but I wonder what this is going to do to corporate adoption of PlantUML.

I would urge the author to please consider offering a plain OSI-approved license, at the risk of losing considerable adoption.

Node performance has gotten a lot better since some updates, there was a period where CPU use and performance was just bad. I think it was a webpack bug. But now things are pretty good! Runs Sketch and other graphics apps not too bad.
As a comparison, It seems to be much faster at compile and test running than running the project on Chrome OS Crostini on my ChromeBook Pixel LS (higher wattage, older, i7 + 16GB ram) I imagine the Quad core in this would smoke the LS.
Yup and it sucks becauee its completely arbitrary and apples decision that it isnt unleashed. If I could I would use my iPad like 9/10 times vs my Macbook
I'd like to see some data on the rate of false-positives for this type of scenario. I can only assume your situation was an edge case and that were it indeed a serious problem, you would be singing a different tune. Clearly there is some benefit to using ECG as a diagnostic tool to save lives, so your scenario doesn't necessarily negate the ones that are truly cardiovascular problems. Not that you don't have a valid argument (you do and thanks for sharing btw), but it's a matter of weighing the total outcome across the board I think.
You're missing important details. The wage fixing scheme lasted well into my time at Pixar, in which the company was over a thousand people (I received money in the settlement). Multiple executives at different companies were involved. It seems unlikely that an executive would not either know about the law, or have counsel advising on it. Let alone multiple executives at different companies.

After all, in your case, it took just two people, presumably neither lawyers, to know what not to do.

Pixar was paying software people significantly less than other companies. And they would try low-balling you, which sadly many of my colleagues fell for, all starry eyed about making movies, for whatever reason. That's just par for the course I suppose, but the wage fixing on top of that was a bit gross.
I think the effect of teenagers with notepad is greatly exaggerated. IMO, the reason why html/js succeeded is because it was (and still is) literally the only option available if you want universal discovery and security. Software distribution logistics used to be a nightmare compared to an application that only required the user to visit a website. It also eliminated an entire class of UX issues with regard to application stability, OS compatibility, and over the air updates. Additionally, as the general population became more educated about the risks of executing random binaries downloaded from the internet, and the features/performance available to browsers simultaneously exploded, html/js became the defacto application platform of contemporary computing.

The eventual advent of the iPhone and the subsequent explosion of the app store also demonstrates that ease of entry is unimportant. The iOS platform was and still is the public platform with the highest barrier to entry, yet none of that matters because getting secure software distributed easily to users is the ultimate killer feature.

> Honestly, I'm used to all sorts of awfulness, but this one piles awfulness upon awfulness, and takes it to a level of pure evil. The lawyers filing this lawsuit on behalf of "Labrador" should remember what they've done -- filing a bullshit patent trolling lawsuit, on behalf of a shell company for a notorious giant patent troll, using patents from a sham company, and using them to try to block the use of Covid-19 diagnostic tests in the middle of a pandemic. I wonder how they sleep at night.
Yeah, that's generally how this has gone. The first reaction stockpiling happens, then after that runs out people figure out alternatives. First hand sanitizer went, then rubbing alcohol and aloe vera later. First toilet paper went, then bidets. First water bottles went, and I wouldn't be surprised if we have a run on water filters too.

But as things start coming back into supply, I'd expect it is easier to get a bidet and a water filter than toilet paper and bottled water.
Same for me... I just have finished the book and found it very very inspiring until I saw the posts here.
>You can get away with this machine if your workflow primary involves a text editor and remote servers, but otherwise I would still opt for the pro.

I bought a 2018 15 inch MBP with 6 core i9, 32 GB of ram and vega GPU with the idea that it would be my one stop development machine. The system is terrible, especially considering the outrageous price - it does have sufficient compute power but the thermals are insanely bad - it's constantly turning the fans to 100% and I can't even tune the power usage - when I run a VM/emulator along the IDE people in the office start turning their head in my direction because of the fan noise.

And the performance still isn't even close to a mid range desktop machine which would have cost 1/4 the price.

I'm seriously considering selling my MBP buying this Mac Book Air top config (I need an OSX machine to develop iOS/OSX apps, otherwise I would go for Lenovo X1 Carbon) and building a desktop which will be always on VPN for heavy lifting + it can replace my gaming console.
They won't cTDP-up, they will get custom chips that keep the 9W and has higher frequency.
The i3 you linked matched. But for the i7 model, apple claims 1.2/3.8 and I can't see a match for that.

For the i5, they claim 1.1/3.5 which could be a match for https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/197119/... with the "configurable TDP" of 1.1 instead of base 800 MHZ.

If anyone can solve this mystery, it would be great to compare to other laptops like the Surface Pro, whose i7 is "Quad-core 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1065G7 Processor"(1.3 / 3.9)

What problem does it solve? Because latency is currently not an issue with all the regions from current cloud providers from my perspective. And for all static stuff you can use a CDN that has pop all arround the world / cities.

Not sure I understand the use case of a single Docker image in a city outside of your entire backend services, especially the DB. If your Docker image talks to something else on AWS / GCP for example you add a lot of latency using public routes.

It looks more like: https://workers.cloudflare.com/
Great point, and very relevant to 2009, wherein the automakers would have likely not been replaced by American companies. But, in the case of United States airline companies, they would very likely be replaced by other American companies if they were not adopted by the creditors.
Even with the fix, I'm ddisappointed in their response. II had a 2013 MBP that worked great for years and years, and was excited to finally get a maxed out MBP about eiighteen months ago. The ffirst year was great and then this damn keyboard started doing its thing. I'm deliberately leaving the keyboard errors in place for this comment, they aren't typos. Yes, they havee the keeyboard replaceement program for the enext 3-4 years. But then you have to be wiithout your workhorse for a week while they replace it, and then what, you'll probably have the same problems a year later. (Incidentally, I have a job switch coming up wiith some tiime off - my plan was to use that time to send in the laptop for repairs theen when my clieint isn't relying on my availability, but now that plan is shot wiith the Apple Stores and malls being closed.) And yes, I can fix this by just buying the 16", but this computer was expensive and was supposed to last me at least 3-5 years. I'm supposed to iincrease my spending to Apple? A sane program would be to buy back this lemon at a heffty price so I can buy the new one and be made whole.

The worst problem with the Java sandbox was not the bytecode (though it did have its share of bytecode validation bugs). The worst problem was the vast API surface with its "blacklist" security model: all methods which should not be called from the sandbox have to explicitly call a AccessController.checkPermission() or similar. Miss one, and you have a hole in the sandbox. WASM instead follows a "whitelist" approach, which is much more robust.
The number we need to know is the death rate in the absence of hospitalization. Because if we let it ride, and the hospitals fill up, that's the number we're looking at.

If it turns out to be only 1%, then shutting down the economy is probably a mistake. But if it's more like 10%, then without quarantine we would get an economic collapse anyway, plus a much higher death toll.

Stopping it is ideal and when the plague is leathal enough, the only option. It is not draconian to institute measures that are effective. They will be instituted eventually (eg if a plagie was ebola with a 60% mortality and 2wk incubation), regardless of what philosophy you subscribe to.

I have this type of toilet, in a very modern apartment. It's exactly as you say, more common in modern public places like airports and new offices.

In my case, there's a 2m wide, ~70cm deep space behind the bathroom, where the water + heating + sewage + ventilation pipes for the whole building are located. There's a 40cm access panel in my wall to get to it.

Adding a bidet thing would require drilling a hole through the wall.

A previous apartment had a similar toilet, but the tank etc was just hidden behind wooden panelling. That would be much easier to modify.

[1] https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/fFAAAOSwnhNdyM2F/s-l1600.jpg
This is the one issue that's stopped me.

Most these attachments connect to the toilet's water supply, which is fine, except most toilet water supplies only provide cold (i.e. whatever the ambient water temperature happens to be) water which to me, is far from ideal in a bidet (it's fine for normal use though).

Running hot water there is a significant undertaking if done correctly, so most options come with a small reservoir to heat up water from the regular toilet supply.

That heat isn't magical, it needs energy from somewhere meaning you need to run power there someway.

There are dangerous improvised solutions like running a power cable yourself. There's additional consideration electricians put in when installing power in restrooms due to all the water and grounding dangers from metal plumbing. Running cables neglects all that thought and reintroduces an electrocution hazard if not handled very carefully.

That leaves me with battery options which I haven't looked to much into but I find that's likely not ideal to swap batteries around all the time. If it can operate off something like a deep cycle marine battery (which seems appropriate), then it might be viable.
Developing on Windows or developing for Windows? My experience is that the former has significantly improved over the last couple years.
The thing is that rare events occur frequently enough on evolutionary time scales that not being able to handle them as a species is equivalent to not being fit. This is connected to one of the theories of why humans evolved our rather strange intellectual capacities. It was a way to be fit in a rapidly changing environment. We may not have been the fittest in any specific situation, having no claws, bad eyes and weak stomachs and all, but when the environment changed we were able to retool ourselves better than animals that were optimized for specific and no longer existing environmental conditions.
Right there with you. I've dealt with the dreaded overflowed by XX bytes message more then I'd like to remember.

I've also run into the issue where you tell the business hey, this isn't going to reach QA for another 2-3 weeks now. And when you explain the details that we are 20 bytes over memory (etc) and need to make space they think of it like removing some characters in a sentence on a word document, not understanding it might take reorganizing an entire module or 2 or rewriting entire state machines or whatever it takes.

And yea, the deals thing is funny cause it seems to happen in every embedded system where multiple people are involved on the project.

Being right and following the site guidelines are different things. The latter is what protects the community from destroying itself—assuming that's possible.

Fortunately, the two support each other, because if you're right, expressing your view in a thoughtful way makes the truth more apparent to others, while fulminating and attacking enemies merely alienates everyone who doesn't already agree with you. You end up discrediting the very truth you're advocating for. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
Those estimates are based on constantly changing data. And “exponential curve” means a lot of things. We are just now starting very limited testing in the US... what do you want to bet the number of tests given follow an exponential pattern just by nature of how they are deployed? If your test deployment is exponential your infections is gonna look exponential even if the underlying data isn’t... at least for a little while.

You can curve fit anything if you forget about the bias in your data.

Depends on what the expected risks are. If the expected risks are worse than the virus, then yeah, probably not a great idea, but if the most likely downside is just that it doesn't work...

Also, testing is not large scale. The whole point is to do it in a small amount of people who are already at risk of infection.

Born 1959. 61 years old.

A quick search for covid mortality by age brings me to https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-death-age-older-... which puts him in the 3.6% mortality bracket.

If we assume his parents were in their twenties when they had him, they are in the 80+ bracket, with 14% mortality.

As to what we are getting from this shutdown? Does “a major boost to Medicare For All and maybe even basic income to substitute for the fact that the minimum wage has not budged since 2009” count as a thing we get? Probably not, he got his already.

There are a lot of valid critiques to be made about the web as a development platform. But the reality of the situation is there was a need for an OS agnostic, installation free, reasonably sandboxed application platform. A generation of developers turned a document viewer into that application platform, and that's the platform that has stuck with non technical users. I think developer energy is better spent improving performance, keeping the web free, and ensuring Google doesnt own the platform.
