... in the USA. But one of its great advantages is the data it receives from tens of thousands of amateur weather reporting stations globally. The Wunderground forecast for our locality is hyper-localised and very accurate for that reason, particularly compared to the national Met Office forecast which applies to an airport 35 miles away, beside a lake and on the other side of mountains.

V8 has a hand rolled JSON parser which feeds directly into our object model without any intermediate data structures. This allows us to take advantage of structural knowledge, e.g. we assume that objects in an array have the same shape (and just verify this before falling back to pointer chasing through transition trees).

I keep meaning to look into SIMD for both this and ordinary tokenisation, last time I tried it the bookkeeping overheads and alignment requirements weren't worth the speedup but it's always worth re-evaluating.
teams has another issue though: when someone speaks, it cuts the sound for the other people speaking in the same time. in theory this sounds good, but many times it will cut the sound of the active speaker. yes, i think this can be managed with group mute, but zoom doesn’t have this “feature”.

I don't think this would have a large impact because the percentage of people who have coronovirus is still extremely low, 0.1% in the worst hit countries.

Normal european death rates seem to be ~10 death/1000 people/year; for example in 2018 Germany had 954874 deaths or ~2600 per day. Multiply that with a ~0.1% coronavirus rate and only 2 people who would have died anyway would get overcounted for coronavirus.
Sidenote: The opening paragraph is why, especially having done my undergrad with mainly Pre-Med students, I will never understand why most would willingly go into Medicine.

The meme that HIPPA requires e2e is so ridiculous - it is pretty clear that very few people actually deal with HIPPA stuff.

Zoom (if you need HIPPA) can set you up with it - but you WILL lose a bunch of features (zoom by default has features that are not HIPPA compatible) - so make sure you need HIPPA before paying for it.

If anything medicine is almost anti-e2e. Everything is copied and copied between one system and another (billing, lab systems, imaging systems etc). Seriously, medicine is in many cases very fragmented, so the number of medical practice groups that need copies of your details / visit details etc is high just to bill you (and you may end up with 5 bills for one visit - which may be 4-5 systems behind the scenes).
Pretty much the only sentence in this that isn't a lie is about Americans not believing in wearing masks. And even then, that's at least partly because the Chinese-controlled WHO told them not to.
> This is a part of it. There is also an unconscious bias against women in hiring. There's plenty of overt sexism, but unconscious biases are significant too. That whole "gut feel"-based hire is remarkably sexist and racist. As are resume callbacks in favoring male and anglophile names.

Chances are you're citing a fabricated study: https://www.vox.com/2019/2/20/18232762/gender-diversity-tech...

Again, when we actually try to identify this bias we rarely find the alleged bias against women.

> As are mentoring and promotional opportunities should one successfully land the job. As is unaddressed sexual harassment on the job.

Neither of which are related to bias in the company's hiring process.

> Re-read my point regarding statistical biases. The existence of a 20/80 ratio is maintained by biased hiring. You seem to believe 20% out of 50% is the "correct" ratio because the current ratio is 20%. And on we go again with your wonderful sexist circular logic.

How do hospitals know that 10% male nurses is the "correct" ratio? They don't, they just give people equal opportunity and because 10% of nurses are male 10% of their hired nurses are male. The whole point is that there is no "correct" ratio. Companies should (and are theoretically obligated to) extend equal opportunity regardless of race or gender. Be biased against no one. If you think your hiring managers are erroneously passing on women, measure this bias and rectify it. Bias isn't eliminated by picking a percentage and instructing recruiters to try and reach that percentage.

When a company tries to pick a "correct" ratio and that ratio is different from the representation of people who work in that rule, bias is usually the result. If a hospital one day decided to institute a diversity program that sets a target of 15% male nurses chances are the hospital would end up being biased in favor of men. Likewise, a tech company that decides to set a target of 30% women engineers when women make up 20% of the engineering workforce is going to end up being biased in favor of women.

You might believe that this bias is justified because of bias women might face in the jobs themselves, or bias earlier in life that you believe is responsible for the fact that only 20% of aspiring engineers are women - all that is your own opinion. But bias you feel is justified is still bias.

Not only are doctors and nurses getting muzzled and fired for commenting on inadequate supplies, but many hospitals and clinics are refusing to allow their doctors and nurses to bring their own masks. Doctors and nurses are fighting hospital administration on this.

I understand why you wouldn’t want that happening in normal times, but to hold firm on that policy now seems like utter madness.

Across the entire globe, businesses, investors, and employees are being ruthlessly punished to the degree they cannot operate remotely.

Previous/quick adopters of remote work capabilities will be relatively rewarded.

Suppliers of remote work capabilities and services are being highly rewarded.

Going forward, the motivation for companies and suppliers to highlight remote operation capabilities will be very high. Even where it is simply a useful option or makes no sense.

And when something is easier to do, more people will do it.

> when literally everyone understands "America has an obesity problem--stop eating so much", and yet there America is.

This explanation -- 'people eat too much' -> obesity -- is simplistic. Sometimes people eat too much, but most of America's weight problem stems from the food industry's misapplication of science. My father and his wife have extra weight mostly because they eat meat-based diets complemented with industrial starches (boxed chips, crackers, pancakes, fake syrup, etc). They eat salads, but only when they're coated with large servings of industrial salad dressings (soybean oil is cheap).

Maintenance pharmaceuticals put a lot of weight on people too.

The war on butter was quietly abandoned by the powers that be. The food industry quietly reformulated some of their worst products to remove trans fats, but there's still a lot of terrible foods on the grocery stores' shelves.

The obesity epidemic is evidence of crimes against the public's health.
We reengineered VS Code without altering the UX too much, because we love it as it is.

The problems we solved are:
- making it easier to adjust beyond the standard extension model, which is great for language support but rather limiting for product designers
- support browsers and on desktop (There is VSO but it is not open-source)
- do all this under a vendor neutral open-source governance
Erlang is build around the idea of microservices and message parsing. It's by far one of the best languages we have to make fail tolerant programs - it was invented to solve exactly that problem. While it does not mean you can take every program in any language and make them into a micro service architecture, it shows that if implemented correctly, the idea of microservices and messages absolutely increase reliability.
It is used to generate detailed and accurate blueprints with quantity take offs and cost estimates.
How will delegation be handled?

Right now, I guess I'm "spoofing" my caller ID by using a VoIP service unrelated to my actual phone provider to make outbound calls. My phone provider has every incentive to sabotage this, since this alternative provider allows me to pay probably something like 1% of the rates I'd be paying to my regular provider.

The VoIP provider verifies that I own the number before letting me use it as caller ID, but towards the network it still relies on the ability to send arbitrary caller IDs. Will this remain possible/will providers controlling someone's phone number be required to somehow enable this?

How will this work for call centers that want to send a central well-publicized inbound number from multiple locations?

Edit: So I read up on the protocol The SIP provider will provide a claim, signed with their key, confirming that they checked my number.

This leaves the possibility of providers having bypassable checks (I think mine e.g. let you set an arbitrary caller ID if you edited a HTML dropdown client-side) and "how to identify which provider is trustworthy", but that seems a lot easier to solve than the original problem.
> Petroleum reserves are not terribly useful to the economy, aside from two particular cases: war and natural disaster.

It's not even clear that the US one is useful for war anymore. At the time it was built, the US was a net importer of about 5 million barrels/day of oil, so it made sense to have a buffer allowing the country to weather a few months of an embargo. But now the US is a net exporter. The strategic petroleum reserve can handle withdrawal of about 4 million barrels/day, compared to about 11 million barrels/day of regular US production, which is more than enough for total domestic demand. And the regular production is more geographically distributed and redundant. If anything, just leaving the oil in the ground in its original locations is a better strategic reserve nowadays, compared to pumping it out of one part of the US, only to pump it back into the ground in a different part of the US, into a facility that forms more of a single point of failure, and doesn't even have a faster withdrawal rate. That's just shuffling oil around between different holes in the ground as a kind of make-work job.
For wells in Western Canada, in particular, the challenge is that the oil is so viscous (they're called "tar sands" for a reason) they have to heat (often with steam) the ground to pump it out. As you'd imagine, this requires a large amount of energy.

So stopping production implies letting the ground cool, and restarting implies dumping a lot of (expensive) energy back in before oil will flow.

This is melodramatic America-bashing. The U.S. is nowhere near a third world country.

This issue was due to the ineptness and hubris of the current administration, which defunded relevant initiatives, ignored the warnings, and refused to learn lessons from other nations' experience with the virus.

Our medical system is fully capable of managing this with the proper preparation and supportive social policy. In fact, there is not a medical system in the world that could manage a pandemic of this scale without those things.

'rendering should be an implementation detail', right so I need to download 3 overly complicated template engines for every website instead of one? Seems like modern UI dev is just nuts...

You can attempt to standardize all you want, the problem is that some companies wanted to put things on their rails and not share the controls...vs just enhancing html itself as was done in past. But SPAs are not documents, modern web is nothing but highly optimized UI delivery, not fast UI nor descriptive UI.

Seems... a bit misguided of an effort when the SPA makers are not clamoring for change and things largely 'work' from a dev perspective already.

When it comes to high-level stuff especially in C++, like the exact rules for template deduction, I think the specs are reasonably clear and do add value. But for the low-level memory model and undefined behavior, the specs are indeed extremely ambiguous. In fact, they're often outright 'wrong', in the sense that they have too little undefined behavior to support common compiler optimizations (e.g. [1] [2])... while making other things undefined for no benefit [3].

orjson generally doesn't even compete in the same order of magnitude.

Ah yes, another top-tier scientific publication: Vox. Was that research peer-reviewed by Cosmo? I'm delighted that you think that puts the issue of bias in hiring to rest.

Clearly sexism and racism were abstract concepts I just made up for the purposes of this thread, and not something that has real, detrimental consequences to people in your workplace. Or, at least it doesn't effect you, so it must not affect anyone else, right?

But by all means let's keep fixating on these male nurses, and their heartbreaking plight! You seem to keep veering into that topic and away from sexist hiring for women in tech. Not a surprise, I'm sure you apply the same level of avoidance to the women applying to your company.
