Another example: if MyClass is the only class that implements MyInterface, HotSpot can generate code that takes advantage of that assumption, removing vtable indirection in method-calls. If, later in the program's execution, the Java classloader loads another class which implements MyInterface, HotSpot will detect that the assumption it made earlier no longer holds. Having determined that the code it generated earlier is no longer safe, it will discard that code.

I recall reading that in earlier versions of HotSpot, it was sometimes possible to improve performance by making your class 'final', enabling the JVM to remove indirection for method-calls. This is not true of the later versions of HotSpot, where it can use the technique described above to safely make optimisations based on tentative assumptions, giving you the same enhanced performance either way.

You obviously don't understand, unsafe isn't always optional. You literally can't do some things without it. If you tried to build a Vec from scratch without unsafe for example (or using code that uses unsafe) you would fail.

Data structures are a perfect place for judicious use of unsafe.

This is one message that has me really confused. Why are masks being sold to the general public if this is the case? It's as if manufacturers and suppliers are helpless but to profit from public demand and the fault is a personal moral failure on behalf of everyone that wants to buy a mask for their own use. How can medical supplies be interrupted by public usage? Are doctors expected to swing past a pharmacy on the way to work and stock up on the supplies they need?

And then in many Asian cultures it's considered a moral failure to not wear a mask in these times, yet hospitals function. This problem clearly isn't universal, or inherent in capitalist functioning.

Autism is a spectrum disorder, which means there is a wide range of afflictions, and the afflictions range from very, very mild to debilitating.

Conducting research for something that is spectrum based is frustrating because researchers can only target one small area. The approach is necessary in order to tackle the problem because the problem is so large, we'll need a lot of researchers working on a lot of very focused areas in order to move forward in a broad fashion.

The United States lost the battle of containment. The only thing left is the war to not overwhelm the medical system.

I'd argue that if you feel like you have to use snapshot testing to meet a deadline, you probably don't even need the test in the first place.

It's one thing if you're using snapshot testing like your average test, to make sure things don't break when you make changes. But if you're in a bind, is a snapshot test really better than your own eyes?

Maybe it's better to release the thing in that case and add better tests asynchronously to the deadline.

I suppose the snapshot test in a pinch is not so bad if it's just changes being made to legacy code. But I'm not sure I'd do such a thing when building new features.

Definitely. Spanish "los pobres" too. Phrases with adjectives as nouns (again, I'd say originating from ellipsis) are very common in romance languages.

E.g. "los rojos" = "the red ones"

Notice how in English my proposed adjective ("poor") lacks the plural "s" (like adjectives do in English) unlike Spanish/French, which do agree adjectives plural forms with their nouns.

That's part of the problem. The original test was created based on implemented behaviour and not test/functional requirements, so you don't have any confidence that what you're preserving is the right behaviour. It tells you you haven't changed the output, but once you've covered your codebase with these, and make a commit that triggers 46 snapshot failures, you have zero knowledge to decide whether that change is desirable or not.

I don't see how "other people screwed up too" is a counter argument to my argument that "usa is different from every country in the world and thus its impossible to do things right" is bullshit. They're two completely different claims.

It is difficult to compare reported cases across countries, and certainly there are many countries that have dropped the ball (Iran especially comes to mind). At the risk of sounding unfeeling, a clearer picture will probably emerge once the deaths start rolling in, since dying is a very binary state and less subject to measurement bias due to gov (in)action.

Thanks!

I decided on a subscription to help support the server costs and continue development. I do appreciate that not everyone likes subscriptions and I think that has hindered traction somewhat.

I send out automated emails a week before renewals to remind people about the subscription, and of course I'm happy to refund anyone that mistakenly rolls over.

> 1. Are you open to letting people pay once, without setting up a subscription? More of a year-long license model?

I'd love to do this but both my infrastucture and payment system aren't really set up to do so. I'm more likely to do a limited run one time cost (Pay once and access forever), but I haven't fully decided on that yet.

> 2. Do you have any infrastructure setup for teams? I could much easier justify putting this on my AMEX and allowing my entire team access.

Not currently but I do have some ideas in the works. Either sharing snippets between users, or a public directory where the community can share useful snippets. A team subscription also does sound like a good idea, I'll mull it over :).

For now, since it's all synced to the server, your team could all log in with the same account and share access. Not ideal, but it is a work-around!

it's observer bias, nothing more. test it out. pick a phrase, my spouse and i chose "snowmobile". For the next week, we had random conversations about how cool snowmobiles are, how badly we wanted one, what price we were willing to pay, financing, etc. we peppered our conversations with click bait, honestly. neither of us particularly ever had any interest whatsoever in snowmobiles, so we figured this would be a pretty ok test for anecdata.

at the end of the week, we both saw no increase or even a mention in our targeted adverts regarding snowmobiles. likely what is happening is that you searched something somewhere on your phone, then brought it up in conversation, then saw an increase in ads related to that subject.
> It's not meant to give you confidence

> It's meant to [...] make sure you don't break something

It helps you see if you didn't break 'something', but 1) you have no clue what that something is by reading the test 2) you have no information to fix it. Plus the snapshot itself might have already captured the wrong implementation. It's a false sense of security.

In Italy about 1% of people die every year, which is roughly consistent with 98 people in a month.

If the virus causes one year's worth of extra deaths, these will not be spread out over the whole year, so seeing 350 of them in a month of the epidemic would also not seem out of place, it corresponds to an epidemic whose peak is a few months long. So this data doesn't seem inconsistent with the linked article's estimates.

Of course if you are running a morgue, then 448 instead of 98 is the relevant figure, and is likely to be very difficult to handle. And if you are running a hospital, even worse.

There's no possible hope of a vaccine that comes fast. We already have a 'found' (made) a bunch of candidate vaccines that might work, but there's a huge gap between having a candidate vaccine and something that's available to inject in nearly everyone. It takes a year or so of testing to see what it actually does and if it really makes things better and doesn't hurt healthy people.

So we hope that there's a vaccine coming next year, but we're certain that there will be no vaccine this year. This will definitely be going on for many more months no matter if it "cannot be maintained".
