Yes, I ought to read that.

From the Wikipedia article:

> On the other hand, writers such as Marvin Olasky justify Bernays as killing democracy in order to save it. In this way, the presence of an elite, faceless persuasion constituted the only plausible way to prevent authoritarian control.

That last sentence makes no sense to me. Why wouldn't authoritarian governments use propaganda?
No, I don't think so.

The terminology here is a bit confusing because different people have defined "async" differently, but in the strictest sense of the word, before io_uring the only other way to do async IO is POSIX AIO. See aio(7) in your man pages: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/aio.7.html

On the other hand, using select(2), poll(2), and epoll(2) is not really async IO.

The difference is really simple: for non-async IO, whenever you use read(2) or write(2) and that call returns without an errno, that operation is decidedly complete from the perspective of the user space. The buffer might not actually make it to disk (say because of caching) or the network (say because of the Nagle algorithm). But really from the user space perspective it is done.

What about "async" libraries in user space? All the bells and whistles added by these libraries in user space merely give you support for knowing when a file descriptor is ready. It doesn't make the actual reading or writing asynchronous. So with a such library, your code might appear to call read(), but the framework knows that the file descriptor isn't actually ready, suspends your greenthread/fiber/coroutine or whatever it uses and does something else. The actual read(2) call doesn't happen. The kernel doesn't know you want to read.

With io_uring, you actually deal with read or write requests sent to the kernel that are incomplete. You actually tell the kernel you want to read (by writing to a ring buffer, hence the name). The kernel knows you want to read. That's the difference.

Now don't get me wrong but I think for the majority of applications you don't need true async IO. All you really need is efficient notification of whether a file descriptor is ready. So AIO and io_uring are both niche topics that likely won't affect your app.
So a bunch of people who have medical conditions which actually respond to HCQ have lost access to it, for no benefit to anyone else.

Great.
These studies tell me mostly that if there is an effect it’s probably not a large one.

Are dark patterns like "532 / 1000 Free Branded Offices Left" really necessary? Shilling another paid service to do a trivial task ( https://www.remove.bg/ if you don't have a transparent logo) seems less than helpful either.

Every district? I think you underestimate how big a country like the United States is, and how few 10 million users are for web sites. Facebook has one of the highest revenue per user at $7 a year... so 10 million users would get them about $70 million in revenue a year.. take a phone company like Verizon... they have 2300 stores in the US.... if our hypothetical web company opened up 2300 stores, they would only have $30k per store... and that is just revenue, not taking into account any other expenses.

If they had zero other expenses and just ran the offices, they wouldn’t even be able to hire one worker for each store....

You also have to watch for the attempt to extract a reason from you. Sometimes it'll be a bald "why not?" but sometimes it's more subtle like "Oh, spending more time with the family, huh?" trying to leave you socially obligated to affirm, deny, or correct it. I find a very neutral "mmmm" to be a pretty good disengagement; you clearly heard them, but it doesn't affirm, deny, correct, or really leave any opening for them to wedge into without crossing over the politeness line to the point that you can openly call them out if they keep pursuing it.
We also do take notice when more mundane exponential threats crop up -- for instance, the R0 of measles is something like 12-18 (compared to a "measly" 2-2.5 for the novel coronavirus, or 1.28 for the typical seasonal flu), and when it got out of control in a few cities in the US last year, it was a Big Deal even though most people are vaccinated for it.
A little more nuanced: Google as a whole is almost certainly not doing this, however a subset of bad actors within Google almost certainly are doing this.
I don't think anyone's denied that respiratory diseases can be linked to heart problems. The question is whether they're linked through the normal mechanism of systemic failure, or if the coronavirus specifically targets heart tissue as the doctor in the article suggests.
Keep up with Alexa – April 3rd
COVID-19 attacks hemoglobin and that is how it damages the lungs. With your hemoglobin unable to exchange oxygen with blood in the lungs, it causes terrible damage.

https://chemrxiv.org/articles/COVID-19_Disease_ORF8_and_Surf...

Chloroquine prevents the virus from affecting hemoglobin, or reduces the effect. This is also how Chloroquine treats malaria.

The problem with a study on severe cases is that the damage is already done and the hemoglobin is already compromised.

It is best to start treatment with chloroquine prior to reaching the severe stage. By the time you are severe you’ve gotten permanent lung damage and the immune system is in a race condition unable to keep up with the virus.

If you want to detour into tinfoil hat territory, you could posit that these studies on severe patients were designed knowing it would show low or no efficacy, because it’s too late to protect the patient’s hemoglobin.

Azithromycin slows ribosonal RNA replication in bacteria. It is unclear how it helps with a Covid.

Antivirals are much more promising for severe cases, but even they can’t heal ground glass in the lungs.
They specifically named those devices in their requests to him (C-PAP, BiPAP) so what you describe is not what happened at all.
Actually, the log scale for infections in pretty much every polity has started bending downwards, about a week and a half after the lockdowns were put in place.
To me it reads more as passive-aggressive, not a serious offer to "keep them updated" but a weasly way of saying "I would prefer not to". Same with "Unfortunately, I’m not able to attend because of prior scheduling".
I was just comparison shopping for an HDMI adapter across Amazon, NewEgg and Bestbuy. Out of the 3 I found NewEgg still to be the best even with the 3rd party sellers mixed in. Amazon the quality looked super sketchy for some of this stuff and for Bestbuy the website had loading problems, an unintuitive UI for store selection (and put me into a store in CA for some reason even though I'm nowhere near there and had no VPN).

This is a nonsensical approach unless you consider the damage caused by overprotective measures such as the rapidly increasing number of people who are filling for unemployment every day.
> how you consider the title "The problem of time" being wrong.

Because as far as I understand it is not commonly accepted name among the physicists for the issues that prevents them developing the "Theory of Everything"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

It's just how only a few authors name their articles and books. The title would be OK if it would be a title of the article about the specific book, but not as a title for the "problem" of physics. Because, as far as I know, it's not commonly called as such among the physicists, and that's why even the very support for the whole wikipedia article is a reference to the Quanta article and not some physics textbook, and that is what then confuses readers who don't have "even a basic understanding of the covered topics."

Reducing all the issues about "TOE" to the "problem of time" is not correct, from the perspective of physics. It is probably "fun" for "philosophers" though.
Yeah, this. They are sent and stored in plaintext.

Paul Graham has the insight granted by hindsight of 3 weeks to 6 weeks of facts and evidence. The video cited shows clips from January, February, March, only one as late as March 15.

And he uses the undefined and unusual phrase "false predictions". What, please, is a true prediction?

The purpose of these commentators is not news, it is entertainment. The fact they are talking through their ass is part of their attraction. It is all bullshit and viewers know it. As does Paul Graham:

> Instead they just continued to use their ordinary m.o., which, as the epidemic has made clear, is to talk confidently about things they don't understand.

Paul Grahams' analysis is also subject to the same critique:

> let's remember what we saw, because this is the most accurate test of credibility we're ever likely to have.
The hypothesis is that hydroxychloroquin interferes with glycosylation of cell surface proteins that are essential for entry of the virus into the cell. The zinc notion is total bunk, intracellular zinc concentration is tightly controlled. Random zinc excursions just don't happen, if they did they would result in death.
Isn't there always going to be some ambient zinc available even without additional supplementing?

I imagine there'd be some evidence of efficacy regardless, but this is nowhere near my area of expertise.
Airbnb raises $1B to weather the coronavirus crisis
It's hardly an 'edge case' to point out that in the real world, 90% of people guaranteed to receive a low income for the rest of their life in the form of a pension no longer work. This pretty much unequivocally falsifies the claim that only people on very low incomes would consider accepting a large drop in income in order to cease working.
While your point is a good one, meaningful clinical research is hard enough under normal conditions. Forms, enrollment, protocols, data collection, statistical analysis plans, reporting, etc. It's an entire industry used to operating in scales that often span years for a single meaningful study.
Mostly agree. Some media is certainly better than others. The NYT article I linked has a very responsible title (IMO) of "Worst-Case Estimates for U.S. Coronavirus Deaths".

It clearly says that the estimates they're about to talk about are worst-case and estimates.
> The answer, I realized, is that they didn't think they could get caught. They didn't realize there was any danger in making false predictions.

There was no danger to them, and a lot of the same old hay to be made from the faithful in the meantime. The problem is that the "meantime" didn't last long enough, and now many of their faithful are instead fearful.
That "as much as" was attempting to account for overloaded medical conditions which will raise the rate, though for 20-44 it'd be unclear by how much. If we go by that table using a 2.3% death rate, that'd already be .3% using a naive literal scaling to the death rate for that age group for the US currently. But yeah, fuzzy numbers and napkin math warning is certainly warranted, I'm nowhere near an expert on this.

As mentioned, the flu death rate of 0.1% is overall as well - for younger people it is also significantly lower, so the increased risk still holds for younger folks. Source [2] shows that well.

The post was specifically talking about media commentators.

I do agree that Obama’s position helped him in 2008 re: clinton. But politicians are judged on deeds as well as written opinion. But in the media sphere, most of the prominently wrong got promoted.
This does backfire for them in certain cases though, especially in terms of networking.
All of their games are still on a built-out peer2peer implementation they acquired in 2008 and it shows how much it holds them back - anyone that played a Nintendo online game on switch knows what I mean (no, 30 NES games I played on my Wii aren't a consolation).

Let's not even talk about friend codes in 2020.
"bank error in your favor" is not a real thing and a bank will definitely hold you accountable for that. But I honestly read your description as HD just giving you the extras as a gift for your hassle.
Off the top of my head, there's pathfinding on a navigation mesh, mouse hit-testing and FOV pruning with a space partitioning tree, triangle mesh sorting. You can also do some agent work by building up an automated opponent.
It depends on when you discovered the game and what you played most. Quake I was the first "true" 3D game (with levels that could stack rooms vertically), and many people remember it very fondly. Personally, I really enjoyed Quake II. I did play Quake III when it came out, but the lack of a single player mode meant the game had no backstory at all.
All true, plus other advantages, but I think there are some business requirements that prevent adoption. The syntax and runtime model are unfamiliar and there aren't enough users to get dependable critical hire biomass on a new project. Lots of management would rather have a lot of average, commoditized labor than a little rare, elite few.

It's especially tragic because we keep repeating the same mistakes and discoveries over and over that OTP+Erlang solved ages ago. Eg most environments are still dinking around with clumsy hacks to help with GC and concurrency issues.
Yes, but at the wrong path length (and offset by some vector, if you had a TIR cube)
On the contrary, not only is this type of "both sideism" incredibly harmful to healthy political discourse (because it discourages engagement and breeds cynicism), both sides are not in fact equal, or even similar.

There are always bad apples, but you just need to look at how they are treated (e.g. whether they are rewarded or punished).
One thing to keep in mind is for SIMD memory locality is very important; a diagonal vector with a standard 2D DP grid is gonna lead to a lot of cache misses. Just something else to learn about.
... the issues with Adobe Flash are quite a bit more varied than “politics.” At best, it was always a drag on mobile platforms, reducing battery life and hogging resources, and at worst it’s pretty much best known now for its security issues that ultimately helped further its demise. If you want to go a step further, in 2011 you could also have probably delivered your game as an NPAPI extension and got pure native code instead. You could deliver these via extensions, even in Chrome.[1]

Native Client also came to fruition in 2011, and Firefox chose not to support it. I doubt many would chalk that up to just politics, either, but I think it’s fair to compare.

Honestly that seems more like the NYTimes or something.

Do you have proof Fox is like this and other media organizations aren't? I'd honestly would like to see it.

We all have access to wikileaks so we should all know which organizations were in bed with the DNC (thanks dkim!).
> I'm also actually not sure if in the uring version requests are guaranteed to be processed in order or not. I would have assumed the latter - and thereby the printed result could have been out of order.

You assume correctly. There is no ordering guarantee, unless events are chained (which is a special flag).
Well, all the individual maintenance is being cancelled. Home maintenance; dentist appointments; tax accountant meetings; checkups; physical therapy. Heck even housecleaning, haircuts and sports.

There will be a cost to all this - small business starts that fail across the board, loans and mortgages in default, cars repossessed, restaurants closing everywhere. Hard to get a job for most people with so many businesses closed, hard to get to a job with no car.

We're all getting behind, it will be hard to catch up again, costs will go up after this is over, everyone will have more debt. It may take months or years for the hiccups to go away.

I like erlang. But erlang's syntax doesn't do it any favors. Might as well use elixir. Still the beam.

I also don't think the beam's benefits are necessary for the vast majority of software which makes it perma-niche. "Why use erlang when I can use python, a database, and a distributed task queue?"

I also really like Elm so I was sad to see it in the poll position, but I also don't base my language choices off of someone's blog.

"Elixir In Action" is a very good book to start also.
Yeah lets see how many security issues we get to see in WebAssembly sandboxes once researchers set their sights on them, given that they already found a couple on JS engines.
Nicely presented resource.
It's intellectually dishonest to imply de-adoption of flash was just "politics". Flash had all sorts of problems, we should be happy we managed to get rid of it. Back in the day I was too cynical to think one day we can do so.
If experts in the field are getting it wrong, how do you expect journalists to get it right?

You're holding them up to unreasonably high standards.

It's simply unfair to compare news organizations like CNN which are at least trying to present accurate information (to the best of their knowledge) vs channels like Fox News that are active and avowed political propaganda engines that have admitted to deliberately deceiving their audience for views and political gain.
Hadn't heard of zeek before - actually find this submarine article useful - it hints better at where and how, than the official zeek documentation. I still don't know what storage space I should budget for a gbps-month of zeek monitoring logs, though (I understand they're typically filtered... But also text?).

As to the where - I guess I need to find some port that can give me a mirror of traffic.... But not that easy with heterogeneous lan+cloud+SaaS setup to figure out where/how to source "all" network traffic :/
Sure, that's why archive offers a macintosh emulator that starts by clicking the large image at the top of the page.
For me, the answer was to make software that I actually genuinely find useful.

Once I got a rough prototype to the point where I was able to get value out of the software as a user, the project seemed to stick.

I naturally return to use the software every few days or weeks or months (because it is useful), and when I do, sometimes I have ideas for improving the UI or what's going on under the hood. So sometimes I knuckle down and spend a day or two enhancing it.
From the CDC: "Mortality among patients admitted to the ICU ranges from 39% to 72% depending on the study. The median length of hospitalization among survivors was 10 to 13 days."

There is utility value in sentimental gifts, too, but it's obviously subjective. Why not just say "get rid of items that stress you out", like people have been doing the entirety of human history? That's hardly a social movement or a lifestyle, though.
Quake's source code is very hackable. I forked ioquake3 for a personal project and it was surprisingly easy to add WebRTC support to the C codebase, so you could play it in your browser over WebRTC :)
