It's probably very faintly visible in ordinary light, but what makes fluorescent ink interesting is that it fluoresces, i.e. it reflects UV light in the visible spectrum, which makes it seem brighter than normal pigments. So the blacklight makes it much more visible.
I don't think that scenario is realistic. If you're making a change that doesn't alter a function's output, why is the code for that function being changed at all? That would only be possible if the snapshot didn't capture all the relevant outputs to being with.

Most likely the output will change and you'll be left with a random blob of data to figure out what went wrong instead of clear specifications.

These days it's still possible to patch and have a high kernel uptime due to in-kernel Kernel Live Patching (KLP) support. I've written a few KLP patches to solve kernel bugs without rebooting just because rebooting every system takes a long time to complete.

That's the whole point of the site. If I'm trying to figure out what time it is for my co-worker in Canberra Australia, I don't want to have to Google what time zone they are in (Australian Eastern Daylight Time). Just put the city in and it does the math for you.
Our company does soak/longevity testing. Typically we'll take a build and let it run for a few weeks during development to find memory leaks. Then the final release enters our longevity lab where we put it under some amount of load and let it run until the device or VM is retired. It won't necessarily find the bug before final release, we could either recall that version or submit an immediate maintenance version that fixes the issue once discovered.

Software will always have bugs, we've chosen to approach it as "find the bugs before the customer" rather than "stomp out every possible bug". Because you are right, we don't get 2 months to pause and fix bugs, and also customers will always do some crazy configuration or workload you didn't have a test case for.
I guess we have to disagree then.

I included QtCreator, because for the full experience you need the commercial Qt offerings as well.

Windows now has a C++ package manager (vcpkg), so you can install libraries as you want.

Actually Clang provides the necessary IDE hooks that GCC doesn't.

I also consider the UI designers (UWP C++/CX is not that bad), graphical debuggers, pre-compiled headers database, incremental compiler, incremental linker, PGO integration, and being able to drive them without memorizing a ton of switches, part of the whole experience.
The canary I'm watching is the whole "Chinese" or "Wuhan" vs. "COVID" virus naming issue.

I think it is very clearly not the right time to point fingers. But when this is all past us, a post-mortem and finger pointing is probably warranted. I don't think we need to resort to name calling, but I'm curious to see how much people bend over backwards to absolve China of responsibility.
What if there are multiple strands of the virus, and Europe is being dominated by the more potent one? We might not even be surprised that the more potent version ended up on the other side of the planet.

OP said

"better understanding of the virus' properties, like the distribution of symptoms, severities, and mortality rate"

Random and self-selecting testing doesn't seem to offer much in that. Imagine going to a Nics game and asking everyone there who they support, chances are you'll get a lot of Nics fans.

How does that give you a better indication of mortality rate or severity if you have no idea how many people actually have it, because you only have a statistically insignificant tests.

Sure, if you're in the stage where you want to lock down specific people (like South Korea) then random widespread testing works to increase the number of locked down people.

But if you're in a country where you've locked down everyone already, then testing could well be increasing the risk.

If the population assumes they've tested positive, and acts like they are, then what does testing add?

Another possibility: the bacteria could be engineered to switch to a different metabolic mechansim, like the use of the lac operon to digest lactose instead of glucose whenever there's a scarcity of glucose. Although this envisages stably engineered bacteria that switch between plastic and regular metabolic process, which I'm not sure about the current feasibility/precision.
The problem with using "masks don't work!" to keep the supply available for healthcare is later on, when supply is available for universal mask wearing, they'll have eroded public trust when they do the 180 on the advice.

They should've instead:

* Banned sales of masks to the public until healthcare and other essential workers had enough stock.

* Honestly conveyed the reasons for the above ban, in WWII-style "do your part" advertisements etc.

* Encouraged homemade cloth masks, bandannas, etc. to reduce the spread of droplets.

* Ramped up surgical mask production to get supply to the general public as soon as possible.

I think that even the most "pretentious" opinions are worth learning about, but people need to have the confidence to go their own way and do their own thing when an opinion doesn't make sense to them. In programming, there are very few things that are objectively bad, and even then what's "bad" is often limited to who will be working on a given project.

The best example at the top of my mind is semicolons in JavaScript.

Opinions on semicolons seem to have changed a lot since I began to seriously learn JavaScript. I remember most people saying to "always use semicolons" without really explaining why. Some of the more seasoned developers would point out a few reasons why not using semicolons could lead to issues, yet even though one with a fair amount of knowledge about how JavaScript is interpreted could simply avoid those issues in the first place, people would still use said reasons to label semicolonless JavaScript code as "objectively bad". It didn't even matter to these people whether the code actually worked perfectly well, or if the code was just as readable, or if it was the preference of the authors of the code. The zealotry towards semicolons entered the point of obvious signaling of senority; most of these people just came off as pretentious and unhelpful.

If someone says you shouldn't do something, but what you want to do makes perfect sense to you, go ahead and do it. You might run into issues, or you might have no problems at all. I use semicolons in JavaScript today, but I never had problems when I used to write it without semicolons despite how I was told by everyone that it was "dangerous".

Yeah, the team sharing stuff (kinda like 1Password vaults) would make this an absolute buy for my team. I manage a technical support team, and we have a _ton_ of CLI commands that we toss around.

Hmm that doesn't seem to be the same thing.. it's easy to test for leap-year, that's a simple case you can either test in the code or literally change your computer clock and let it rollover to see what happens.

Very different than something which only happens after 50 days because obviously in small intervals it's not a noticeable bug.

This study was done in vitro. If I recall the counterindication of aspirin in C19 patients was accelerating pneumonia or something. So it's possible aspirin does both.
this isn't an entirely fair representation of intel's 14nm. over the years, it has become extremely well optimized for high clocks. the 14nm parts actually have a slight disadvantage in IPC compared to amd, but an individual core is still faster due to the large difference in clock speed.

this has actually created an odd marketing dilemma for intel. despite having less IPC and worse power efficiency, intel's 14nm parts are actually faster than the new 10nm parts because the new process can't achieve such high clock speeds.

This is baffling to me for two reasons.

The first is that my thesis is explicitly that this is not a defense and is not an excuse for poor memory handling etc. in your firmware. (And the more I invest in creating a robust firmware, the more I stand to lose if someone rips off my product & undercuts me - security risks are not the only type of risk.)

The second is that the notion that I should rely on the charity of unpaid graduate students to discover bugs in my firmware is both inequitable and unsound.

> At the end of the week, we both saw no increase or even a mention in our targeted adverts regarding snowmobiles.

While I do respect you and your spouse for trying this experiment, it's entirely too small a sample size to really prove that this doesn't happen. There are a ton of variables involved, the biggest being which advertisers may or may not be listening in at any given time. It's hardly a controlled experiment, and I can't say I can put any stock in it.

It also does not prove that it is observer bias. I have had things pop up that I am %100 absolutely positive I never in any way shape or form looked into, yet there the ads were after a short conversations with others who did have an interest.
Good points, but a back-of-envelope calculation looks like:

P(failure) = P(infection) * P(critical) * (1-P(icu))

0.1 * 0.8 * 0.9 = 0.072

That infection probability is optimistic, considering what you mention above. That ICU availability probability is the situation we're facing in NYC.
I mean these gig-economy execs strive really hard to not pay contractors benefits or pay unemployment tax, etc... The employees are working a gig job, they get paid strictly off supply and demand, demand goes up they make more money, demand goes down or supply goes up and they make less (or no money). With the bailout were basically saying its OK to not pay taxes but expect a bailout, people that rent out their houses on airbnb as a job, etc....

Everyone needs help during the pandemic, but the execs from these companies should get zero say because these are not their employees. They are not laid off, not furloughed. There just isnt demand in their 'gig'.

When the snapshots are somewhat human readable this technique is also very useful for validating changes.

Hook up the last known good snapshot and the new output to your favorite diff UI and you'll get a pretty good idea about the actual effects of the code changes. I feel more confident signing off a new "known good" based on reviewing a full document diff than after iterating a set of meticiously hand-crafted expectations alongside the production code until convergence.

Probably doesn't help with figuring out when to meet, but would maybe help with communicating the time by removing any chance of ambiguity. Or if you're asking e.g. "Does 10.30am work for you?" etc. But really, it's not hard to state the timezone along with the time if there's any chance of confusion.
There's a lot of supposition here. If this extraordinary claim is true, why isn't it screaming at the top of headlines?
I sure hope so. Or call it Universal Galactic Time or something if people like it better. If you need someone on the other side of the world, you still need to understand that they are 12 hours opposite or similar. We could then get rid of daylight savings time too and just have one universal time. I don't think it is that hard to start either. We just need legislation that says anytime a time is posted somewhere it must also show the UTC time. Always show both on your mobile phone too and it will become automatic. Over time people will associate the UTC "numbers" with their normal daily routine and 10 years later we can get rid of the timezones. This is similar with how we re-number highways.

For non-US readers: Somebody made an incorrect decision to take him to an urgent care office, which requires immediate insurance or payment, rather than a hospital, which has to admit you if you're acutely ill, then bills you later.

You're supposed to use urgent care for minor things like an earache or prescription refill.

The "insurance hack" in the US is that since hospitals must accept you if you're critically ill, you don't need any insurance to get admitted and treated initially. Also the initial paperwork is less burdensome if you're critical.

The reason for that is because hospitals were dumping comatose patients on lawns at other hospitals to reduce their costs. Hey, capitalism.

The 50 days is arbitrary - the owners of GetTickTime should have written tests to handle what happens when the tick value rolls over. (Maybe they did, and allowing it to roll over was the desired behavior.)

But more to the point - the consumers of GetTickTime should have also had tests to verify that the consuming code appropriately handles time rollovers.

Granted, this was Win95 so I'll cut them some slack, but that should be standard procedure for any code that consumes an incrementing counter API. First question should always be - 'how will this code handle a rollover value'?
