> A sizable fraction will be concerned about 'container overhead' (and "scalability issues") when asked to move workloads to containers. They are usually not able to explain what the overhead would be, and what could potentially be causing it.

For what it's worth, one of the biggest "containerization" recommendations is to not run your database (example: Postgres) in a container, correct? Due to I/O performance decrease?

Tom Cotton was one of the people who were on this and warning of it early. So was Steve Bannon. There are others. Just because someone has an R by their name doesn’t mean they’re a homogeneous blob.

I think that’s great, I don’t agree with all their politics but they didn’t let themselves be blinded by optimism and looked at what was actually going on here. And the theory that the virus may have accidentally escaped from the lab where they were studying bat coronaviruses always seemed credible to me (Reminder, the 1977 flu likely escaped from a Russian or Chinese lab but this was never admitted either).

The political quarter that was in denial was mainly the POTUS and those who simply follow whatever the POTUS is doing without independent thought (Hannity, etc.) Edit: again, he was calling it “their new hoax” so you really can’t deny that he was behind on this one :-)

As a European, reading these articles on arbitration, no-compete, required licenses, 'right-to-work', tipping, "gig work", firing over zoom, and so much more, it seems U.S. workers could really use some collective bargaining?
Here unions are the obvious century-old solution to improve working conditions, why don't workers organize there?

> I remember when it was easy to find logic, facts, and reason on the web. Then, someone optimized it.

When was that, exactly? In 1998, when only 3% of the world had access to the web and creating content was limited to a small handful of privileged individuals? This author rails against "Directing the narrative", while building site with a thin sliver of links related to a handful of topics they deem worthy of inclusion. They offer no solutions for an internet that servers 3.5 billion people, choosing instead to whine about how much better the internet was "back in the day."

I don't think Google is blameless, but I think they are more of an inevitable byproduct of this many people coming online than they are a root cause.
I have to disagree. Anyone who played DooM and DooM II more than just a single time through the campaign is more likely to view the originals as bullet ballets rather than as survival horror. DooM levels that seemed "scary" were only scary because demons could jump out at you and give you a jump scare. Once you know where the monster closets are, it's not that scary anymore.

If you played the original's multiplayer at all, then you'll remember how quick and frenetic it was and how that changed the play style for the single player levels. The new games reflect that much better than Doom 3, imo.
My mother-in-law's strategy for getting a slot with Wal-Mart grocery pickup has been to pre-fill her in-app cart in the evening, and set an alarm to wake up a few minutes before the window to place the order and get a pickup slot opens up (I think somewhere in the 12:00-2:00am timeframe). This may be applicable for placing Instacart orders (and the like) as well, unless they require you to pick an available slot before populating your cart...
Localization is a difficult problem no one has solved yet. If you find a solution please write about it.

Due to the fact that there's not a good agreed upon standard as what counts as a "covid19 death", there's absolutely no way you can draw any sort of meaningful death rate.

I.e. in Connecticut, there was a "covid19 infant death". Except that infant died at home due to a horrible accident. Arrived at the hospital deceased. Postmortem, was tested and coronavirus positive, therefore was counted as "Covid19 Death" and "infant dies of coronavirus!!!" in the news.

Death rates and case numbers are terribly skewed, and the data we have is abysmal.

CDC just massively changed the definition of what a "positive" case means. PCR tests have a notorious accuracy problem, so previously the definition of a positive case was consecutive positive PCR/RT-PCR tests.

Now the definition has changed to "if any test has ever come back positive, then positive".

To be clear, this new definition means that if you test positive, then have two consecutive negative tests, you're still counted as a positive case.

Just this redefinition could account for a large part of the increases in "positive" cases we're seeing.

Couple this with allocation of funds and resources based on positive cases and death totals, and you have a situation where it's in everyone's best interest to inflate the numbers as much as possible.

We saw the same issues during HIV/AIDS "crisis".

Be very skeptical of any numbers, rates and data you're seeing. At this point, the CDC and state agencies are refusing to publish their source data (which is very strange).

I hope Rock Auto never replaces their website. Sure I have to scroll down the whole page to find my manufacturer in the alphabetical sidebar listing, and then open the nested categories like I'm looking for a folder in Windows 3.1, but once I get there I find a list of parts that I know will fit my car arranged so I can tell the quality vs. price trade-offs.

I used to look for parts on Advance and O'Reilly's sites, half of the time it seemed the search results would have parts that wouldn't fit my car. So I really like the way that RA's nested folder structure ensures the most important constraint (compatibility) is met during the search.

I participated in a HyperCard game jam this weekend... I'm not much of a programmer and have never made a game before, but it was so easy to get something up and running.

Ooh! That's a really good idea, thanks!
It's more complicated than this.

Google links directly to search results now, they stopped using the tracking redirect years ago. They probably track clicks and scrolling directly on the SERP with JS.

Google Analytics is absolutely not used for ranking purposes. GA is far too unreliable and gameable to be used for anything like that. It's more likely that Chrome and Google Safe Browsing are used for tracking user hits.
Intentionally? I'll assume good faith. Under that presumption, my best interpretation of that poster is "socially unaware, likely prone to nitpicky argumentation."

The poster who said he was having difficulty getting good results from Google, was obviously venting about his own personal experience.

Next comes along another poster who says "I tried it. I don't have your problem." Another post down, "... The problem you're complaining about doesn't actually appear to exist, at least not objectively."

Excuse my outburst, but who the fuck says that?

The original poster was venting about a problem he experienced. What good can someone do when he comes in and says that he doesn't experience the same problem, and states that it likely doesn't exist? There is no upside here. There's an only a downside: being rude.
But only some of the details. I still need to ignore most of the details even while I need control of the ones that matter.

Yes... but even if we did nothing, we are unlikely to hit 90% infected... 60 to 70% yes, but not 90%.

I am not saying that is ok, or that we should just let it run its course... just that saying we will hit 90% infection is unrealistic.

Three tips that have helped with my wife and I:

1. You can usually recognize when you’ve said something in a tone that you regret. Within a few minutes of saying it, try to preemptively and meaningfully say you’re sorry for that tone.

2. If you’re discussing a topic that one or both of you are very passionate about or that triggers high emotions, each person should stop and write down what the other person is saying. Then repeat back what you understood about what the other person said. This helps both people understand that they are being both listened to and understood, and usually calms everything down. (We’ve only needed to do this 2x in several years of marriage, but it’s been helpful each time.)

3. A tough one, but try not to discuss any hot button topics when one or both of you is tired and/or hungry and/or driving.

Finally, someone else in the thread mentioned high ratios of good/complimentary interactions to bad ones. This is very important. Be grateful for your spouse and show it, every day. This will go a long way toward improving most any relationship.

Fundamentally, decision-making is what predictions are for. We mainly care about information to guide our actions. There are some interesting implications of this for how we should do research.

A recent example: people have been talking about clinical trials for coronavirus vaccine candidates. In those you want to minimize the bad things that happen to the people in the study, and also get a working vaccine rolled out to the world as quickly as possible. Therefore you might want to accept unusually low levels of certainty that the vaccine is safe, or ramp up trial size faster than usual, because the world is on fire and every day of delay is terrible. For other vaccines with smaller expected benefits, slow-and-cautious might be the way to go. In both cases it's a matter of balancing expected risks with rewards as your probability estimates change over time.
COVID-19 is not a normal respiratory infection. It seems to prevent your RBCs from holding onto O2 and CO2 mimicking high altitude sickness. The disease acts like HAPE (high altitude pulmonary edema). The damage and inflammation is coming from the blood's inability to properly perform gas exchange in the lungs. Other damage could actually be coming from ventilators with pressure set too high (lungs of patients are mechanically normal, atypical for ARDS). Patient oxygen stats are also weird, they're hypoxic, but not necessarily short of breath.

This is extremely widespread amongst the really large companies I've consulted for (with equally large development teams to boot). "Containers are VMs, but smaller and/or faster" is an extremely common school of thought. I would like to think that this viewpoint is dying somewhat, especially now that many large organizations have at least experimented with orchestrators like Kubernetes or ECS.

I can't blame them, however.

If you're a dev at a company where such misunderstandings are pervasive, and you're interested in trying to get your app running in this "Docker thing that you've heard of", you will, probably:

- need to seek out a Linux dev server because you probably don't have admin rights on your machine, and getting Docker installed onto your machine in a way that doesn't suck is more trouble than its worth,

- have engineering management that are being told that containers are like VMs, but smaller, likely from magazines or sales/pre-sales consultants,

- Have to wait days/weeks to get SSH credentials to a dev server that has RHEL 7 on it, hoping that it has Docker (a thing you've heard of at this point, but don't really know much about it otherwise),

- Have to wait even more time to get Docker installed for you on the dev server by a sysadmin that dislikes Docker because "it's insecure" or something, and

- be constantly reminded that your job is shipping features before anything else, usually at the cost of learning new things that make those features more stable

The point here is that environments like this are barely conducive for getting engineering done, let alone learning about new things. Moreover, the people that will do anything to scratch that itch usually find themselves out of companies like that eventually. It's a circle of suck for everyone involved.

So when I introduce containers (which Docker is, by far, the most common runtime, so I introduce it as "Docker" to avoid confusion) to someone who doesn't know what cgroups or namespaces are, or someone who responds with something about containers being VMs or whatever, I happily meet them where they are at and do my best to show them otherwise.

In cases where the arbitration clause is already in place, and the arbitrations have been filed, that would likely be difficult to do, as a result of the Alsup ruling.

Where the arbitrations haven't begun yet, there's certainly some scope for attempting to neutralize this, by changing provider or terms. Interestingly, there's a potential conflict-of-interest brewing [1] around whether DoorDash's lawyers were so tightly involved in the writing of the CPR's rules, that the CPR sought their approval before publishing them [2]...

If that is the case, things could start to get quite interesting indeed, particularly for CPR, who are not looking in a particularly good light after discovery in the case.

> The documents in the case were unsealed on Wednesday, revealing that the defendants were so involved in the protocol that CPR would not publish it until DoorDash and its lawyers gave the go ahead, including a sign off on the fee structure by DoorDash’s head of litigation, Gregg Farano. In his written approval of the Protocol in an Oct. 31 email to Waxman, Farano asked that CPR let him know when the new rules were published “so that we may link to it in our terms and conditions.”

Alsup certainly seems to think there's something worth the public knowing about here [3]:

> Judge Alsup also said the public deserves to see the CPR emails, since the material “would be useful to the public in evaluating the true extent to which (CPR) is impartial.”

There's a lot of advice saying "don't talk about your side project".

I used to believe this whole-heartedly, but now I believe you should actually talk about the project somewhat.

If you don't talk about your project to anyone, the project dies with you. If you talk about the progress you've made, you can get people excited and that excitement can motivate you and hold you accountable (as they'll remember what you've done so far).

I guess the take away is to talk about side project progress, to build excitement and motivation. Don't talk to much about plans, as you are robbing your future self of gratification.
Yes, but 90% is an unrealistic infection number no matter what you start with. I think most experts had it at around 60-70% if we do nothing.

That is not acceptable, either, given the fatality rate and the strain it would put on hospitals... but I think it is important we try to be accurate.
I know that pipe and tube have different specifications and applications -- that's specifically why I picked this example. But those differences don't always apply to me. I'd prefer a UI with a check box for pipe, tube, or both, because sometimes I want my search to cover both things. Maybe I want to use a pipe as a paperweight or an art piece or whatever. If McMaster could accurately guess what I was going to use something for, my employer wouldn't need me.

i completely agree.
I ordered some things from Home Depot the other day as well. They did not fulfill half the order, instead marking it as delivered. Attempting to resolve this issue, they refunded only 1/3rd of the missing items and then required me to go to a physical store to resolve the issue because their system literally could not fix the problem without them offering a physical cash refund.

This is likely to do with the store which fulfilled the order; I've found Home Depots to be very hit or miss in their service quality and the location which fulfilled this order has been consistently bad in-person.

Don't even get me started on how Home Depot uses location settings and keeps changing preferred stores when ordering. It's a nightmare.

Many years ago, I worked for a state-level legislator, as an environmental aide. Although Republican, he supported (and contributed to) many good environmental bills. And worked closely with Democratic colleagues.

So one night over beer, I asked why he was Republican. And while he did make some cogent points about social and economic issues, his primary reason was that he lived in a Republican area, and that he'd never be elected as a Democrat.

A political leader's role is not to choose medications but to give people hope and to keep the wheels of society rolling. But no matter what, there will always be more questions about what will be done. I think Trump was sufficiently vague yet optimistic in his answers, as befits his role.

You don't hear as much about European problems online, because they're spoken about in the respective nation's language. This means that it's hard to compare. Most European countries also have many problems like the US. Maybe not to quite the same extreme, but they do exist. The US does have a few things going for it though: very strong protections of speech, very high wages, a system of incredible services - things like Amazon, FedEx etc. From my perspective, things in the US actually seem better than in Europe for the long-term. They just have a few very obvious pain points like healthcare and the silliness of a lack of worker protections in some states.

Just keep in mind that unions aren't universal across Europe or even the EU. They usually exist, but they tend to not have much leverage.
