Physical movement. It struck me that movement of belief systems looks LOTS like boid flocking. It's even possible to map social connectedness by things like Facebook etc. to size of neighborhood, and probably limits on how large a 'neighborhood' can practically be when it represents the belief systems of those in contact with you.

I'm still working from home which takes up most of my weekday waking hours. Spring is coming and we have a large yard of English style gardens to clean up after each winter. When it's raining I'm catching up on work I wanted to do around the house. Since I don't want to be sitting in front of the computer more hours than I did before, I'm also running, walking the dog, working on restoring a 1971 Saab Sonnett III and building a stitch-and-glue boat. (Clearly I don't watch TV).

They were called floppy disks as compared to hard disk packs. The hard disk packs had their platters made of glass or something rigid.

Floppy disks had platters/recording surfaces that were plastic, thus "floppy". Had nothing to do with the envelopes as such.
That’s actually a good thing. If every website could store data indefinitely, it would be abused. By only allowing long term storage for websites that the user “installed” on their phone by adding it to the home screen expresses intentionality.

in some cases they might not have a choice. One of my friends is a nurse at the largest hospital in Croatia which has so far not too many cases and they're still bracing themselves for what happens when they reach capacity. They're not allowed to speak up about what's happening inside the hospitals or complain - they are in fact threatened with prison if they decide to speak up.

Despite this 2 nurses have tested positive but are asymptomatic. They aren't allowed to stop working as long as they don't develop strong symptoms. To add insult to injury there are no PPE and even if there are limited quantities available they're not allowed[1] to use it due to rationing. Visiting a hospital right now can be deadly if you're not certain to be positive already or if not in a life-threatening condition. I'd imagine it's similar in many other undeveloped or poor countries.

The kind of mass testing and case tracking that's most effective is a considerable (hopefully temporary) sacrifice to privacy rights, compared to the sacrifice of movement rights necessary for social distancing.

The modeling is fairly clear that the tracking is a more effective public health measure than the distancing, and the general public don't get as riled up about erosions to privacy rights as other "realer" ones. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

In the mean time we'll continue to have ineffective measures because I think a lot of meat space businesses will have a kind of prisoner's dilemma going on. If every company voluntarily isolates, the pandemic damage is minimized, but the larger the percent of a given industry that isolates, the larger market share is left for any company/individual that operates business as usual.

A demo is a form of computer program that achieves something remarkable (usually around computer graphics) in a very small program size.

A demoscene would be the collection of people who create these programs, and who appreciate them.

There are strong elements of informal competition -- who can shave a few bytes off this routine? -- and there are formal competitions.

The Pouet.net faq gives a nice definition "Demos are the things that happen when people who are interested in computers sit down together and make something fun and spectacular and challenging to program. They work on it until it becomes a final work of art, then they pack up their sleeping bags and travel to a demoparty where they enter it to a competition. That's pretty much the gist of it."

Pouet.net is a good source of information about demos and has a large collection.

nohup caddy -http-port 999 -conf /etc/caddy/Caddyfile -envfile /etc/caddy/CaddyEnvFile -agree -email YOUR_EMAIL@gmail.com &

(the port 999 is because we've already got docker container running on port 80)

Geekbench is not measuring raw performance in terms of operations per second. It's measuring very specific use cases (their current blurb mentions AI and ML, in the past mentioned synthetic tests to approximate browsers). Because thermal constraints would prevent Apple from competing in a brute force approach, Apple have been more willing to include specialised hardware for tasks like AI/ML as in the A12 CPU. Of course, single core AI/ML perf is a bit of a silly metric but it's one thing geekbench is claiming to measure here that Apple probably wins at. I think in the past encryption/decryption similarly had acceleration sooner on Apple platforms, and Safari is able to make better use of the GPU with less varied hardware to support, and I think real web browsing is another component in geekbench tests.
I disagree with that. Most US universities are non-profits and use undergrad revenues for real estate development.

If the car is considered an antique you can get away with a lot. People are importing rare 90s Japanese cars because you can get away with having left hand drive. Over 25 years old is considered antique.

Hi, author here! Thanks for the feedback. I'm not in charge of Try It Online, so I can't do anything about filling it with code by default, but as someone else noted, there is a Hello World button, which fills in a (very trivial) snippet.

There also a bunch of examples with tutorial-like explanation in the Examples folder.

I'll think about adding one example to the main README though, just to really put people off of looking further into the language. ;)

If their numbers are to believed, the Chinese actually did a reasonable job of stopping COVID-19 (after the initial denial and inaction). Most of their tactics would not be accepted in a "free country" but if you contrast this with the U.S. (my country) response, you'll see that the denials went on far too long, our optimism we could do better was misguided and we spent precious days on politics that should have been put into ramping up the medical services we needed.

So instead of steeling the population for what was coming, many citizens thought (and still think) "it's just the flu". Once again, the U.S. is number one! (as counted by confirmed infections). Maybe we could use some posters like this?

CBS's children's television news spot "In The News" had an iconic spinning globe animation, to mesmerizing electronic music in the style of Raymond Scott. (I don't know if he personally made that music, but it sure sounds uncannily like Soothing Sounds for Babies, etc.)

>Raymond Scott is probably more well known, particularly because of having been sampled by Dilla. Oram and certainly also Delia Derbyshire deserve all their due... I can't imagine how exciting it must have been to be creating these sounds that no one had heard before.

>The BBC Radiophonic Workshop is more influential than they're ever given credit for, even now that the story is somewhat well known. And they were at the time too... If you're looking for 'pop' musicians who were influenced by those experiments in early electronics, check An Electric Storm by White Noise (band that featured Delia and Brian from BBC RWS), as well as United States of America's self-titled 1968 record. Both radical and timeless.

Affinity Designer, Publisher, and Photo are fantastic. I've been using Adobe, Corel and many open-source design tools, in most cases, since version 1. The UI is so smooth in Affinity that I usually finish work in half the time. Affinity's features set, across all three apps, is plenty good enough for professional use. Compatibility with Adobe and other design software is outstanding.

> Does the whole RISC Vs CISC of X86 and ARM make a difference?

Not really. Arm hasn't been RISC for quite a while now (there's a "Floating-point Javascript Convert to Signed fixed-point, rounding toward Zero" instruction(!), SIMD, etc etc).

The difference can be explained partially by the memory model: x86 has total store ordering, which can be slower than Arm's weak memory model (it allows the hardware to be more creative).

> running native compiled code

There's more to it than 'running native code'. It depends a lot on what code is running (any CPU implementing the above javascript instruction would be much faster on a web benchmark for example). It also depends on the compiler. If the code is control-flow heavy, there isn't much to do except having large cache sizes and wide pipes, which most high-end, out-of-order CPU do already.
I don’t think comparing Geekbench scores directly between completely different processor architectures tells you that much about real world application performance. It’s a synthetic benchmark that may be affected disproportionally by factors that aren’t very significant for ‘normal’ use cases, e.g. specific optimizations (compiler, hardware, etc) that hit the happy flow for some part of the benchmark on one architecture, but not the other.

But the main difference is thermals and performance under sustained load. So far none of the Appple SoC’s have been shown to handle sustained workloads at heir highest frequency. The CPU in the most recent iPhones is known to throttle under load quite fast, and nobody but Apple knows how it would perform in an active cooling setup.

Health insurance will be fine. There was a study (no citation handy) that looked at severe flu seasons, and their impact on health insurers. Barely a blip.

Remember, ~80% of people have minimal symptoms after being infected with SARS-CoV-2.

You can therefore absorb a lot of care for 20%, assuming most people are insured...

Well, for example, I recently used my iPhone X to edit a 4K 60fps video using iMovie. This was quick, easy, and all playback was silky smooth. I did this while sitting at the airport lounge waiting for my flight, and it didn't use too much of my battery.

Meanwhile, my very high-end gaming PC struggles to play the video files from my iPhone at 60fps for some mysterious reason.

I don't think that means anything. Strong immune systems can do that too. Autoimmune means deregulated in a very specific way that may or may not induce or protect vs covid-19 but I am not a doctor. But if you didn't find any study linking it then it's probably random.
Their answer seemed legit. The purpose of a test is to improve. How else do you baseline? You actually need a score that represents a snapshot of your performance at a specific moment in time. Otherwise if you're constantly editing there's no snapshot - just a blur.

In gaming we call this "git gud". You obviously need more practice because you haven't moved on from a specific failure. Learn from it then beat it next time. Owning failure is part of how you accelerate learning.

They also conveniently avoid accurately describing the scope of what IA is offering, plus misrepresent how IA acquired the books. http://blog.archive.org/2020/03/24/announcing-a-national-eme...

"This library brings together all the books from Phillips Academy Andover and Marygrove College, and much of Trent University’s collections, along with over a million other books donated from other libraries to readers worldwide that are locked out of their libraries.

...

We understand that we’re not going to be able to meet everyone’s needs; our collection, at 1.4 million modern books, is a fraction of the size of a large metropolitan library system or a great academic library. The books that we’ve digitized have been acquired with a focus on materials published during the 20th century, the vast majority of which do not have a commercially available ebook. This means that while readers and students are able to access latest best sellers and popular titles through services like OverDrive and Hoopla, they don’t have access to the books that only exist in paper, sitting inaccessible on their library shelves. That’s where our collection fits in—we offer digital access to books, many of which are otherwise unavailable to the public while our schools and libraries are closed. In addition to the National Emergency Library, the Internet Archive also offers free public access to 2.5 million fully downloadable public domain books, which do not require waitlists to view."

If true this is pretty strong further evidence that Airbnb has had a really significant negative effect on affordable housing in these cities.
Ok - the EU was founded 1st November 1993; I remember the UK as a centre for world finance and one of the most prosperous and settled nations in the world at that time. I could have been very drunk and made a mistake however.

But - I think you are referring to the state of the UK when it joined the EEC in 1973. The UK was in fact in a big mess at that point - which promptly got a lot bigger. This led to IMF intervention in 1976 [1]. This was not a big win for the EEC at that point in my book. The UK was in a big hole because it had spent all its money on unwinding its empire and failed to either properly retool its industries or pay down its second world war debt. The EEC and Europe in general did not help or bail out the UK - in fact they continued to expect payments from the UK in the midst of all this, a pattern that I fear Italy and Spain are about to encounter in the way that sentances encounter full stops.

What turned this round - the discovery of North Sea Oil. This enabled Thatcher to restructure the UK economy, recapitalize the City of London and hey presto off the UK went to the races. The big buggeration was the collapse of the Soviet Union which meant a restructuring of Europe in order to prevent the East from falling into anarchy and exposing the German state to abject collapse. Thus we all got swept up into the EU.

Anyway, if you want to argue about "prospered inside the EU sad much as the UK has" I ask you to look at the economic performance of Germany.

Choice quote for students of risk:

“I’ve always been a survivor, in life and in business. This coronavirus epidemic is not going to put me or my companies down,” says one Airbnb influencer on YouTube.

To be fair, it was pretty hard to fathom what might knock out the entire tourism industry of a whole city, let alone the world. I mean it's been written about by various people, but who really considers pandemic risk while doing the rental arbitrage?

And likewise with risk in general, we tend to think of things that can specifically happen to an investment, eg the tenants wreck your place, or the mortgage rate changes. We tend not to think so much about this sort of thing, even though infectious disease is a thing everyone has heard of.
