WFH being worse is debatable, but people entering the workforce need internships now more than ever. Companies canceling them are failing in their social responsibility unless they suddenly can't afford the interns due to lost business.
That's kind of right. The shear number of viruses that begin the infection, and also possibly over the first week or so, affect how hard it hits you. After the first week, your body is producing huge amounts of antibodies against the virus and it's not likely a factor anymore. Someone posted a link in another thread about a commercially available antibody test kit. The product page showed a nice graph of the timing of the antibody response (IgM shows up after the first week and IgG later). Now I can't find it. Anyone have that link?

Depends on whether you prefer 20 seconds to open the jar and spoon out the amount you need, or five minutes to peel the garlic, press it, then clean the garlic press.
"How many people died of this" is only the tiniest factor to consider when trying to evaluate how dangerous a problem is. Consider the death of half a dozen unrelated people in city A, and the deaths of half a dozen separately unrelated people in city B. Who cares, right? That many people die every three seconds or something. Now add the information that the 6 people in city A died of smallpox. The 6 people in city B were all pedestrians hit by cars.

Should both cities react the same way?

It’s a reasonable question, and the reply to your OP suggests it was accounted for but I don’t know enough about stats to say that it fully accounts for it. I would say it’s still very reasonable to be skeptical and ask if it is still biased, or still partially biased.
but it probably did more to promote STM32s as a learning platform than anything that ST did in that time period.

...and thus drive further product sales in the future. If you think about it, sales of development hardware are not going to be frequent nor recurring, while sales of the actual product dominate their profits.

I'm personally glad that companies are starting to see the advantages of freely available documentation and cheap development hardware, and the days of 4/5-figure development boards with secret NDA documentation are slowing passing; ST was (and in some ways still is) one of the notoriously closed ones.
You could improve it by making it not a one-liner! Usually making it a multiple-liner can improve readability. And unless you're typing it into the command line directly everytime you run it (as opposed to putting it in a file that you invoke) it doesn't really matter how many lines it has.
> If you cut the Sr. Manager of XYZ and hire another one 120 days later...you probably didn't need to cut the one you did.

If you make cuts based on a pessimistic projection and the future turns out to be much rosier than you thought, were you wrong? I don't think so. You just had limited knowledge.

This is compounded by an unusually wide spread between pessimistic and optimistic projections during times like this. Will someone find a cure? Will enough ventilators be made? How soon will people be allowed to go back to work? How effective will self-isolation be?

Today, no one knows the answer to these questions. We'll know much, much more in 4 months.

It's just not reasonable to expect that decisions made today will seem perfect 120 days in the future.

Eh, the response isn't exactly a slam dunk. There's a difference between saying "I thought of that, and it's not a problem" and whatever it is actually not being a problem.
Social distancing isn't the same as lockdown. You can habitually keep your distance without being laid off, etc.

There are three phases in the use of a product: manufacture, usage, and destruction/recycling

It matters not if there is an advantage during the usage phase but disadvantage during the manufacturing or the destruction phases.

Nuclear Reactors are a prime example: They are great during both the manufacturing and usage phases, but the cost and pollution during the destruction phase (where there is both danger to humans during dismantling, and hugely expensive and dangerous disposal of nuclear waste)

Similarly with electric cars. It's useful life is OK, but .... What happens to all those toxic batteries at the end of the car's life? What happens to the toxic byproducts of lithium-ion battery manufacturing at the beginning of the car's life? How much energy is expended (CO2 is produced) at those parts of the car's life?
> And that's the problem. This virus hospitalizes about 20% of identified cases. They require some supplemental oxygen, and maybe an IV. With good care, probably less than 1% die.

3,800 patients, or 12% of case in NY were hospitalized as of today. 888 require intensive care. [0]

You're right about approx 1% fatality rate though. And this is NYC the epicenter of the pandemic in the US.

You want a lockdown before your city turns into a medical disaster zone. Celebrate the fact that it's being done early.
Thanks, this makes sense. I imagine cruise passengers and hospital workers are pretty likely to get a lot of initial exposure in a short period of time, but people who get occasionally re-exposed through day-to-day life are probably at much less risk.
I went through a near-failure experience with my startup at the end of 2017 and wrote about how we just barely got out of it. Sharing in case it helps someone given the current climate [1]

The advice in this article is pretty good. Pinning hopes on the next funding round or putting half measures in place like a 10% layoff when you really need a 50% layoff isn't a sound strategy. My main takeaway from my own experience is that I should have made the hard calls much sooner. 100% transparency with the existing team is also important. If they don't understand why a tough decision is being made, they're less likely to stick around.

1. It makes no sense to quota your cpu with the exception of very specific cases (like metered usage). You’re just throwing away compute cycles

2. Same applies to dedicate cores for pretty much same reasons

Having said that if you really really want quota but don’t want shit tail latency I suggest setting cfs_quota_period to under 5ms via kubelet flag
Mostly "made in Rust", but from the github readme[0] "MeiliSearch uses LMDB as the internal key-value store. The key-value store allows us to handle updates and queries with small memory and CPU overheads."; so a lot of the credit goes to LMDB, and safety implied by "made in Rust" is not, in fact, guaranteed.

Not that I'm complaining - I love LMDB, and it's been rock solid and bug free in my experience (thanks, Howard!) - but it's low level C, not rust, and if you expect the certainty that Rust provides w.r.t to security, race conditions and leaks, be aware that you are not completely getting it.

But other than that: Thanks! This looks like a great project!

Unless the only people who had the resources to control the forges were those in authority.
IMHO unlike the tone of the article, this is cause for celebration, like every other time DRM is broken. Now all the proprietary firmware in those otherwise useless/insecure IoT devices etc. can be more easily reverse-engineered and replaced, possibly driving more hardware reuse and reducing e-waste.

Sounds like you're unfamiliar with the practice of agreeing to a deal by both parties spitting into their hand and then clasping hands?

There's also the idea of making a pledge by both parties cutting their hands and then clasping hands, mixing blood with each other.

> they may not have realized that they were also combatting other infectious diseases, such as the seasonal flu.

No, they fully realise. We have to also reduce the flu. It also takes up many ICU beds. This is vital. Any plan knows this.

Whether they are implementing measure like free Flu shots and are ramping up supply of Flu shots using the military if they have to, I doubt, because no one wants to think ahead more than a day.

I don't think anyone suggested weapons didn't exist before these swords either?
As I understand it, when Sun developed Java, they ditched Self. Some of the Self team left, and created a Smalltalk VM using the Self VM techniques called Strongtalk. Sun belatedly realised they needed a fast VM, and rehired the team which formed the basis of the HotspotVM.

> All this knowledge is still relevant. Kubernetes is an extra layer on top of all the classical technologies out there. It is not a replacement - besides some fancy experiments, it doesn't replace GNU/Linux.

> If you're going to run a Kubernetes cluster, you still have to know all the "classical" networking, GNU/Linux system administration and architecture, etc. Having a fancy task scheduler for containers, and a tool that sets up clever network bridges (or whatever your preferred CNI flavor does), and a bunch of other nice extras does not remove the requirement to know what's underneath.

This so much. I went from one year as a junior HPC cluster admin (glorified title, I was a software builder and then focused on container usage) to a 6 month internship where I was focused on being part of an OpenShift team. I’m fairly good am maneuvering my way around a system and getting things working, but being thrown head first into that I realized how little I actually understood about systems, particularly networking related. I didn’t have a lot of time, and I learned a lot about OpenShift and K8s in general, but I felt more like an advanced user who could explain things the others trying to learn their way around and build small tools rather than an admin of the platform. Maybe I’m selling myself short and experiencing imposter syndrome mixed with being dumped into huge, pre-existing, and foreign infrastructure, but it was an eye opening experience.

Since that’s ended I’m at a new gig as a “standard” sysadmin. I’m using this to skill myself up and take the time to really understand as much of the layers and how they work together as I can, both on and off hours.

I’d love to get back into the K8s area, it’s such a fascinating workflow and paradigm, but I have some personal progress to make first.
I also cannot recommend this course enough. I learned Unity basics over the winter break thanks to it. I am very comfortable prototyping now.
Totally agree, however the big draw for me is that with Docker/docker-compose I can keep all of the configuration in a version controlled repository along with all of the other apps/services I run on my little server. Of course it's possible to still do this and run it natively, but that's the reason I prefer a Docker solution.
Sadly, as long as there's a large enough region where it has R0 > 1, then when we lift restrictions we'll be back to normal.
Well put. And conservatively stated. Re: point 2, your "in the same year" is what we likely face with high levels of social distancing. What's even more alarming is what happens if we stop the shut downs and "go back to work." That's a guaranteed disaster. You mention 50,000 people in ten steps. That number grows to millions in just a few additional steps.
I wasn't even aware things were really made of metal before like 2,000 years ago. Crazy!

Is there a history of metal somewhere? Bronze, copper, tin, steal, gold, harvesting, forging, etc. It would be an interesting read of history, science, and discovery.
I hate to burst this guys bubble, but:

1) Airlines not owning any aircraft or flight crew have existed since forever. It's called "wet leasing", and all of the majors do it to some degree.

2) The concept that OP is describing (essentially UberPool) has already been tried. The most recent iteration of this is from Blackbird, and, assuming you can work out the legal issues, it is much more expensive than flying commercial because of unions, fuel, airport fees (which you as the airline owner still have to pay, even if the aircraft is under lease) and safety.

3) The model of scheduling flights based on crowdsourcing demand would work if aircraft wasn't bloody fucking expensive and everyone didn't want to go to their destination right now for as cheaply as possible. The problem is that aircraft is bloody fucking expensive and most people want to go to their destination right now as cheaply as possible. In order to make the economics work, you have to schedule flights, and because tons of factors go into that, you have to do this well in advance.

4) The reason why Spirit Airlines, known for "notoriously cheap" flights, and Southwest Airlines are the most profitable airlines right now (and are the least worried about what's happening right now, which is to say, they are shitting their pants less than the other guys) is because people absolutely want to travel and will go to great lengths to do it. People visit families. People attend sports events and concerts. People want to hang out in places that aren't home. VACATIONS. All of these are things that air travel has made significantly easier because, let's face it, folks would rather fly for 1.5 hours than drive for 8 if they can afford it.

If only businesses and wealthy folks (i.e. OP, maybe) were the only people who wanted to fly, a coach seat from LaGuardia to Miami would be at least $1200 and y'all here would want to work for American Airlines instead of Facebook because it would pay well and come with travel benefits (i.e. the 50s, 60s and 70s).

Now, for real talk:

1. Airlines are hurting, but many of the legacy carriers have switched to flying cargo because who else is gonna deliver 10M N95 masks to Germany hot off the press? Given the demand at the moment, many are willing to pay the premium prices airlines are setting.

2. I (and probably many others) can almost guarantee that the day/week that COVID-19 becomes manageable (through vaccine, anti-viral or otherwise), travel demand will shoot through the moon. 9/11 was devastating long-term because many people are afraid of flying, and ramming two narrowbodies into tall buildings exacerbated that. This, while potentially more devastating than 9/11 economically, really has nothing to do with flying.

3. If anything, airlines will use this experience to learn how to build their reserves more efficiently. Things will definitely change, but I don't think the changes will be as drastic as OP claims (or as 9/11 was to the industry, and rightfully so).
Presumably Jane Street didn’t choose C++ because they wanted to reduce bugs introduced by the preservation of state; the killer of prop shops. F# was developed six years after their founding, hence too young, and more importantly, a Microsoft-owned clone of OCaml. I don’t think it even ran on Linux before 2015. Today, F# might just suit the job, assuming you are open to being locked into the .NET family. An interesting idea to say the least.

Why C++ now? Still the fastest and tons of quants and highly skilled programmers know it. When you consider the correlation between C++ developers’ technical acumen and quantitative skills, coupled with the maturity and increasing convenience of the ecosystem, it makes sense.
From what I've heard Jane Street's bread and butter isn't latency sensitive market making on public equities, but creation/redemption arbitrage on ETFs, especially ones that hold a lot of relatively illiquid stuff like various fixed income ETFs. Creating and redeeming those ETFs might involve pricing an emerging market sovereign or corporate bond that might have only traded a few times in the last year. So their expertise is more around smartly trading really weird stuff as opposed to the pure speed players like Jump, Citadel or Virtu Financial.

That said JS is probably in a lot of different products, some more latency sensitive than others, but speed isn't what they are known for.
Good point. That must be why swords and plows are both equally effective symbols of authority.

Forges have always produced utilitarian items for the common man. If, hypothetically, the only thing you could make out of metal was useless, non-weapon swords... then once again there would be no reason to do it at all.

In the Iliad (much more recent than this sword, but nonetheless informative in some ways), swords are symbolic of nothing. The text is very clear on what the symbol of royal authority is -- it's a club. ("Scepter")

I'd be pretty comfortable with the idea that clubs are no more recent than weapons in general.

Actually, Self was one of the three proposals for the Smalltlak-86 project described in this page. David Ungar (from Stanford) joined forces with Randy Smith (Xerox Parc) who had done ARK (the Alternate Reality Kit). ARK had the visual equivalent to classes but users ignored those and preferred to just copy and existing instance instead. They wondered if a whole language could be based on this.

Randy moved to England after they published a paper at OOPSLA so David put his PhD students at Stanford to try to actually implement their proposal. Since David just wanted to do research instead of working as a professor, he moved his whole team to the newly created SunLabs (in 1991, I think).

The error bars on that 4% number are huge, I imagine. Like 4% - 2% or +15%. It's entirely possible you could get 4.9% with zero Covid-19 infections, just from normal variation. Not only possible but I'm sure there's a month in the past decade which had more.
INT 21 is DOS, not BIOS.

You can still use INT 10 for BIOS video services.

Or just write into the text framebuffer directly; it's at B800:0000 in colour modes and B000:0000 in monochrome modes (it's surprising how much I still remember from when I exclusively did x86 PC Asm, ~3 decades ago.)
I dont understand what millions of millions of test kits will do. I’m not going to get tested because I have no symptoms. If I had symptoms I would stay in lockdown until it got worse.

Air power is pretty much the transfer of explosives from one place to another. In other words, a carrier is a better battleship than a battleship.

In modern times, however, a ship with a bunch of missiles is a better carrier than a carrier. An electronic circuit board is a braver and more accurate pilot than a pilot.

Even better, cut out the middle man. Forget the ship, just send the missiles directly from home to the enemy.
Nice, I think they did something similar in China.

Cherry on top of the cake would be to provide an app, where people could voluntary agree to anonymous location tracking and for their COVID-19 status to be updated by health authorities (or themselves in case they already know).

Having that, I think it wouldn't be too complicated to alert other potentially not infected people that someone that has been exposed to the virus was nearby.

Once someone was diagnosed as being infected, would could taint and steralize all the locations this person visited in the X number of days prior.
Great article. Seems like Authy is already becoming irrelevant to use anyway since it just presents 2FA codes which is already done by nearly all password managers.

Also, the migration here is only for 2FA codes on Bitwarden and later the author migrates to 1Password. I'm pretty sure you could choose to migrate altogether either on 1Password or Bitwarden since they both support 2FA codes.

If it were me, I'd just migrate to using Dashlane instead.
