-One of my wife’s ancestors found a sword dating back some 1,300 years on the farm we currently live on, and it has caused lots of annoyances over the years.

The problem is that the national Norwegian archive of ancient artifact findings only register the property something is found on, not the exact location.

Hence, a hundred years after a sword was found in a mountainside a mile away from where we live, I have to obtain permission from an archaeologist every time I put a shovel in the ground, more or less...

The sword looks cool, though. (On display in a museum; no such thing as finder’s keepers for such old things - very rightly so!)
Anecdata. Chicago suburb on WOW.D 78 mbps U 10 ( I pay for much lower speeds ). I was able to get Doom Eternal in 30 mins or something. Decent stress relief.

I am not sure what is happening. It is obvious WOW lifted caps on me and I am actually benefiting, but I am not sure how that is possible since everyone near me ia streaming something.
Capitalism !== markets. Markets are much older than capitalism and will be around long after capitalism has come and went.

Capitalism is merely a mode of production based on exploitation by control of capital.
Fiction aside, funding makes a difference here. Give non military science funds comparable to hollywood movies and we'll likely go from 2 years to a few months.
It’s pretty typical of the manager/employee tool adoption cycle. Slack is 100% a net positive if your job description requires you monitor multiple things to make sure they are all ok and resolve issues in a timely manner. As usual people with this job description often get to pick the tools used and don’t see why it’s not “so fun” for their employees to keep up with the firehose they’ve inserted in their computer/phone.
That might make the movies a little too long.
Thanks for explaining. I thought bailout meant just giving away money or some low interest credit to companies without getting equity in return.
I’d rather not use yet another bloated Electron app. The bugs can be overcome and the results are not affected
This website seems to be combining ziprecruiter and neuvoo results into one. It seems to just search for "entry level", "grad", "internship" and "entry level developer" at those two websites and present the results. While passing your IP, geolocation, user agent and a bunch of other stuff to them to get location specific results.

Mortgage rates went up because 10 and 30 yr bond yields have spiked. Also, during the yield collapse a few weeks ago, banks got flooded by refi requests and it exhausted banks’ supply of available dollars for mortgages.

Facebook, Google Could Lose $44B in Ad Revenue in 2020
With petabytes you should either have a procurement team that gets a great deal or you should look at co-location. At some point, hiring a team of infrastructure experts is the cheap option, esp if you leave hardware management with data center providers.

And it's not mutually exclusive. I've seen companies working very cost efficiently by using dedicated hardware for 99% of the workload and AWS or GCP for any experiments where they wanted to try out new features.
I wish I would know if you are serious.
I think the first term is by far the largest term in your equation. Source: the entirety of human history demonstrates that large groups of people need laws in order to function justly. In small groups, people are fine. But as you scale up, the likelyhood of bad actors reaches 1. Human societies need codified methods of dealing with bad actors, which is what a CoC does.

Additionally I'd argue that you think the denominator is largest because dramatic incidents are the most visible. The vast majority of big github projects have a CoC, if they really caused so many issues you'd have way more than "dozens" of examples.
Why do some societies have the problem and others do not?

I was born in 1965 and was an early micro-hobbyist from the end of 1978 onwards. I remember wanting an Acorn System One which was basically a hex keypad attached to a Eurocard. Unbelievably primitive.

In 1980 (aged 15) I got an Acorn Atom, (the predecessor of the BBC computer), with a great keyboard, 8K ROM and 2K RAM. Built-in BASIC and a built-in 6502 Assembler as well.

These computers were functional but bare-bones. You really could comprehend how everything fitted together. I was really blessed to be part of that generation at the very beginning.

The BBC computer literacy project was fantastic for replicating my experience to those immediately following me in school. The UK was an early world-leader in the number and quality of its programming talent.

The real tragedy was this was followed by the utterly useless national "ICT" curriculum in schools which was essentially all about teaching kids how to use Microsoft Office, and probably discouraged an entire generation of kids from getting involved in software. This still makes me angry.

You’re missing the point.

You might be spreading it everywhere right now and you wouldn’t have any symptoms for another two weeks.
This is exactly the kind of language used by the unbearable sort of person who insists on a CoC.

"Be nice to each other."

Unless you're CoC is targeted toward a hypersensitive kindergarten, that language has no place. You need to realise that it's extremely unprofessional, infantilising, and patronising. You're going to alienate a lot of talented people who have no patience for that rubbish. You're going to be on the fast track to a mess where blue-haired amateurs are feverishly reminding everyone of their pronouns rather than having a group of grounded, professional adults getting things done.
TypeScript, I'd say.
This is also only the beginning, as lockdowns across the nation aren’t in full swing yet.
Honestly, please record a better one. It's true that most tutorials are very confusing and mix up terms. It's very hard to find good docs. If you have the time, please write something, I'm sure it'll be appreciated.
"The great American job machine"

The whole previous decade needs to come with an asterisk when talking about job growth. Looking at job participation rates and those that have stopped looking completely from BLS paints a completely different story. The pandemic obviously isn't making things better, but it's just always been an afterthought when talking about job growth.
Let's say I have a computer that can only store 10 bits worth of information, but generates 100 bits of information. Then obviously the information cannot entirely originate in the computer.
3.28 million? Really?

With the lockdowns of retail, hospitality, etc. in Australia, a country of 25 million total, we've seen nearly something north of 800,000 unemployed (temporarily or permanently). This can't be an accurate figure, surely!
That’s fine. Get a preliminary test, rule it out if you can, and if it comes back positive then take other tests or self-isolate, or both.

And this is only the beginning... if you look for projections (or run your own [1]), we will need a hard nationwide shutdown for at least 2-3 months (not 2 weeks) for this to not kill a million plus Americans.

I suspect even if a shutdown is lifted, when people start seeing body counts it’s not like they’ll return to traveling or eating out.

We’d probably need to see an anti-body test first and/or vaccine. This is going to take years to recover from.

I'd maybe agree with your points, except the last point: if these traders keep all/most smart people from the job market, then even your dollars would not make a difference. Of course this is overblown but it is similar to the concern that "all of our smart people are trying to make people click ads".
So why not still send limitied information by default in the User-Agent header, and if they ask for it, send more information in User-Agent header? (keep everything in one spot?)

Why are we creating redundant headers?

We are talking about the same object in two entirely different contexts.
Exactly. Which is definitely not needed for a job aggregation site.

This is a great site, and I really like what they are doing and going towards. I just don't like how it's littered with Google trackers, etc.
Semi tangent, about dealing with mass unemployment.

I like to think this event changes people's perspective on folks out of work in the US. There's a lot of recrimination, and even self loathing about being poor or out of work in the US. It doesn't seem based in reality and certainly isn't helpful.

Perhaps it is time we realize that much like a pandemic things in this world change fast and we need to be able to help folks who are out of work pick up skills quickly / retrain (and maybe retrain employers that people with a 'different' resume might actually be able to do other jobs) so that they can get back on their feet.

Maybe it won't be a pandemic but things are changing fast whole industries of people find themselves offshored, jobs change, etc. I think we need to plan for / get comfortable with the idea that on a smaller scale we should be ready to deal with such things dynamically over the course of people's lives with retraining, support for it, and etc. And maybe a workforce with a variety of experiences will be better for it.
The article is wrong about mixing strings and numbers though. The requirement for homogeneous data, and the use of boxes, is a feature of the SHARP APL lineage, which includes J (although these languages could allow mixed arrays if they wanted to). But the APL2 and NARS families simply allow anything as an element of an array. These are much more popular, to the point that every recent APL I'm aware of uses this style of array. Possibly a reason why J wasn't very successful; probably not a reason why APL usage disappeared.

Things are bad enough without exaggerating the situation. The big problem with the great depression was not the size of the crash but the duration of the recovery. Our view of the money supply seems a bit more effective these days and it seems unlikely that the recession that comes out of this situation will last as long.
I'm guessing Edge specifically also has to do that not only because of chrome==good queries, but also because of many, many edge==bad queries.
i understand wireless is tied to the internet backbone, but i'd imagine with so many people at home, wireless data congestion must be at an all time low, with everyone (probably) on their home wireless networks rather than using cellular data.

Could the platform the community uses make it easier to hide posts and discussion threads that people don't want to see? That would minimize the time spent trying to deal with it.
How Coronavirus is transforming sex and online dating
Worked in HFT and funds, there's a bit more to the taxonomy:

- Trading completely based on the current prices. If you're doing purely arbitrage, eg looking for the ask to go under the bid (elsewhere), you are gonna have to be really, really fast, because that kind of thing is so very obvious nobody hasn't thought of it.

- One step from from that is passively leaving an order in and hoping for the same thing. Eg you leave a bid in a less liquid market, below the bid in the main market, and hope someone hits you. You then immediately throw that onto the main market. Gotta be super fast to do that, because of course everyone else can see someone traded.

- Market making based on some form of ML on the orderbook, basically imbalance. Here you need to do more than just comparing two prices. You also aren't entirely leaning on the current price to offload your position, you might hold onto your position a bit. So now there's risk involved, and you might need to decide how big a position you want. And not everyone will have the same position, so not everyone is after the same trade.

- Market making based on multiple orderbooks. Say you have an ETF basket, and you want to be able to make bids and offers around it, as well as the underlying shares. So then you have a different position to everyone else, there's a fair bit more information to digest, and there's a fair bit more modelling which will mean different participants have different decisions. This means your decisions will not be contested in the same way that obvious arbitrage would be.
Arguably HTML5 and JS to get both in a state where Flash wasn't needed. Not just for what Flash is famous for either. I used it a lot for "copy this text in a div to the clipboard" when browsers were all over the place on support for that.

This test is made for use at the point of care, apparently all the operater has to do is insert a swab into a cartridge and put it into the device. [0]
Comparing the throughput to fully automated systems used in testing labs [1] (look at this beast!) or qPCR machines in research labs [2] is missing the point, those require high investment or skilled staff. A test that can be run quickly by any doctor would be very useful to rapidly detect new outbreaks in the time following the current lockdowns.

However I suspect that the downside of this device will be the high cost of consumables, as is common for microarray biochip based devices.

I'd also give it some credit as a cautionary tale.

A lot of subsequent languages have focused on readability, partly as a reaction to some of the....unique things came up with in Perl.
For comcenter.com I push CSS, except if the referrer is same origin.

I _think_ it's working pretty well as far as I can tell.
That's true. Two other situations that can trip you up is when a company changes the ingredients, without clearly advertising it, and restaurant chains with different preparation procedures.

An ingredient change in Sweden that was minor, but still led to some confusion, was when the Marianne candy [1] changed the text from "May contain traces of milk" to "Contains <0.05 g of milk". Some vegans eat products with traces of milk, but the latter made it sound like it was something that was specifically added. Dairy products can also be completely added or removed from products without any other notice, which is something I'm not too bothered by if I make a mistake, but if I had a real allergy I might need to be more careful.

Fast-food chains sometimes prepare the food differently between restaurants. The Max hamburger chain (or if it was Burger King, I don't remember) usually prepare the vegan options separately. But in some restaurants, due to space constraints, they fry the vegan products together with chicken products, or use the same counter space for preparation for vegan options and cheese. So if you care about this, you need to ask specifically in each restaurant, because they can't guarantee that they never come in contact in all restaurants. It's not enough to just look at the list of ingredients.

I think slack’s secret sauce isn’t actually the day to day team work stuff but the cross team communication and fun aspects of it. I’m on a slack team at work that has 50k people in it spread across 5 cities and sometimes multiple offices in each city. There are topics to talk about almost anything you’re interested in from board games to parenting to woodworking to whatever. I think it makes the whole company feel connected to each other as people in a way that email or face to face meetings or phone conversations or regular instant messenger could never accomplish.

And that ability to make spontaneous connections extends to business related topics as well — I spent about an hour just randomly helping someone on a team that I knew only from slack design a kubernetes deployment and took a project from struggling to get off the ground to going full speed ahead. I switched to a machine learning team here despite having zero work experience doing machine learning because I spend time in the machine learning channel and demonstrated that I had interest and knowledge of the topic.

It works _because_ it’s fun and distracting, not in spite of that, imo.

My actual team never uses it because we’re all sitting next to each other, usually, and our support channel is only ever manned by the engineer on call. It’s all the so-called non-productive uses that make it great.
Do we know the weekly throughput of processing unemployment requests?
The first part seems the wrong way to do it (treating it as an example). You would presumably overload area() on the object type, not on individual parameters representing the object's geometry. 'circle.area(r)' is even weirder - extracting radius just doesn't make sense here.

<SomeGeometricObject>.area() is right AFAICS.

Which I think is what you're getting at anyway.

But IMO overloading used right is cleaner than not having overloading.

If you're quarantining a large number of medics then that's potentially serious and possibly more dangerous overall if your numbers are off.
There is usa how the implemented lockdowns work? They forced to shut down all non-essential industries and shops? Or they just suggested it?

I am finding confusing information online. Like... Did they really give to the each employer the power to decide if they are essential or not?
A staggering number, and unprecedented in the modern era.

I'm not in the US or an America, but my (retired), Father is and for the sake of the people around him and his family I hope this is the point where the American political system - and Republicans in particular - realise that their ideologies are dead.

In the UK we saw an Old-Etonian Tory Prime Minister in the space of a couple of weeks:

- Effectively nationalise a huge chunk of private industry by offering to subsidise 80% of all salaries up to £30k/year

- Delay tax payments for businesses, and offer up to 15% of GDP in loans and grants to help keep them alive

- Renationalise the train industry (privatising it and others was a hallmark of Thatcher's period in power)

- Accept that their planned immigration policy post-Brexit is now probably dead in the water because who knew that "low skilled workers" like cleaners and agricultural workers would be useful?

- Severely curtail free movement and enterprise by shutting every pub, restaurant, cinema, theatre and cafe across the UK as well as almost every shop that isn't a pharmacy or food shop

- Become champion supporters of an NHS they were - until recently - trying to sell bit off of

Politics here has changed forever, and likely for the better (assuming the sanctions on free movement and enterprise are temporary and not a back door for more draconian measures). For the sake of the most vulnerable in America, I hope it's the same there too.

And maybe - just maybe - it's time everybody took another look at the UBI debate, again.
Slack is surprisingly anti remote work. They only offer it to incredibly senior roles. Everyone else has to jump through hoops and get approvals from many layers of middle management - it's one of those ask Mom / ask Dad policies that's designed to make sure no one gets an answer.
Hum... Prolog uses periods to end declarations, and as you expect, uses semicolons as combinators.

It reads really well, because it also uses colons as combinators, with higher precedence than the semicolon. But it does not map well into other paradigms.
