Seems to be a common story in this area. I remember asking the Hopper folks if they'd do even an academic discount and it was similarly a no. Their argument was that it was on par with some academic textbooks .. maybe in the USA, but I never bought a textbook throughout my 3 year CS degree! That's what the library and electronic resources were for.

I concede it was more accessibly priced than e.g. IDA but it's definitely a shame HexRays and others aren't as willing to allow non-commercial educational use. I think they'd benefit in the long run, you'd definitely have some folks using the products they're familiar with commercially after a few years.

Meanwhile for software development, you have companies like JetBrains and GitHub offering premium products completely free of price.

The best tip I've heard to preserve flow in editing is to rewrite - not edit. This is how all editing was done before computers became ubiquitous but you can emulate the process by printing out your first draft with large line spacing, manually going through it with a pen and then - and this is the key - open a new blank document called "Draft 2" and retype it from scratch based on your printed version.

> I have a huge problem with requiring mathematical proficiency in programming.

A program is a formal system whose overall structure is mostly a directed acyclic graph. Most good practices are about shaping this graph (we try to make it sparser overall, though we do tolerate isolated dense sub-graphs). If you know how to organise your programs, you've just demonstrated some proficiency with such graphs, even if you don't realise it.

Maths isn't a way to keep people out. It's a way to get them in. And remember: what we do in high school remains markedly different from what we do in programming. Calculus would be the worst possible introduction to programming. You want discrete maths, graphs, boolean algebra, group theory…
I'm hoping that, regardless of the absolute number, this method can give us a good handle on the relative number and let us know when infections are going up or down and by roughly how much. Right now the rate of new official infections has pretty much plateaued. My guess would be that actual infections are also plateaued but I can't rule out that just testing has plateaued.
That's fair to call me out on that, what I said wasn't clear. I think the broader point still stands though: don't look at the number of ISA instructions and think that fewer instructions necessarily means performance improves.

I think that we also miss a piece of the puzzle in terms of what happens once you leave ISA instructions and get into uops. There's magic inside there and it's completely opaque.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but the herd immunity thing was a throw-away statement tacked on to the end of an initial briefing, it was never the plan.

Also, we shut-down pretty quick when it became clear how much worse Italy was faring than the stats China had claimed.

There seems to be some pretty ridiculous things being said in foreign papers at the moment about Britain's response as it's an easy way to deflect criticism of themselves.

The only people who have the right to throw shit are the Germans, Soth Koreans, Taiwanese as they're the only ones who seem to have got ahead of this thing.

The British is on a similar trajectory (if not lower) then America/Italy/Spain/etc., if you put aside the frankly unprofessional and crazy IMHE projection (which is already failing to match real-life three days later).
I’ve never used Elm, but that’s not how reasonable open source projects work. Red Hat maintains several rather divergent forks of Linux and they’re still in the club. I personally run a fork of Linux that I maintain, and I’m in the club. The only people who attract serious ire from the club are people who distribute out-of-tree modules that play poorly with the rest of the system. Even in that case, no one gets excommunicated, but the upstream kernel makes no particular effort to keep problematic modules working.
There are other options of actions he could have taken that wouldn’t have involved shutting borders. Over the years, as well as not making obviously false statements, starting in late January. Those falsities created a republican resistance to the necessary actions, making it some sort of misguided windmill tilt about freedom.

Further, the entire culture he created — don’t speak truth to power, or you will be fired - is also responsible for the late actions and poor preparedness of the administration.

I mean, have you even _seen_ the trail of CVEs that Java has left in its wake over the past few decades?
My brief analysis tells me that there will be some grinding down in Q2 with a negative peak in Q3. While the virus seems to be "managed", the consequences of millions of people dropping out of the workforce in the first world is not that pronounced. We will see bank failures and maybe dozens of cascades, all leading to the point where someone has to stand up and swallow it.

Solid states go into deep debt today, previously failed states will chew on it for the decade to come.

You say that as if you were born perfect. As someone of elder years myself (and not just by SV standards), what you are saying is quite obvious to anyone with experience. But when you're young and know everything, it's not so obvious. We too, were brave believers of complex == good in our youth. Well, I sure was.

It's also important to learn by failing (aka learn by doing). Like parenting, there are many things in organizational behavior that can't be learned until you experience it for yourself. Few of us can be told "don't do that" and will internalize it to the degree necessary, without experiencing personally what happens when you do "do that". These people graduating from top schools and going straight into FAANG are doing themselves a disservice of the worst kind, by missing out on important organizational learning experiences.

On that note, I recommend everyone either get fired from a job, or work for a company so bad you quit, at least once. I also recommend it at most once. :)

As for inverting a binary tree, with your experience you must realize that the very large majority of applicants are poseurs. You need to filter them with easy things like inverting a binary tree. Most companies need "doers" not "thinkers". Even at the highest levels of pseudo-management (staff and above IC), you really better be able to do this kind of easy stuff.
Do these not have modern radar? The article said they were being purchased without any downgrades from their time flying with the RAAF.

Also does this mean they can be legally outfitted with air to ground armaments? I don't know much about these aircraft, but I imagine since they are used for simulated combat that they have decent evasive capabilities even if they can't directly engaged other aircraft.

Not sure why this got downvoted. Google publishes some pretty detailed stats (which I applaud), and the "thumb on the scale" could not be more obvious.

Whether or not you feel this is a problem, it's worth reviewing the data.

[And for the record, I've enjoyed every female or minority colleague I've ever worked with, and made efforts to ensure their success, whatever their ability. I don't particularly object to AA hiring, but I don't like wasting my time on "fake" interviews, so I think publication of stats like this should be required.]
The linked article describes a tracking system that would be mandatory for every single American in order to e.g. board public transportation. (Such a system has already been rolled out in China where people get an automatic red–yellow–green health code and have to show it in public places.) While one can reasonably assume that the NSA is already capable of tracking a huge amount of phone location data from Google or Apple devices, people are still free to not have such a phone and they are still able to move around in public.
This is my take as well.

Yes, seeing a 30% drop in GDP this quarter is huge. Just like the 5 million or so who applied for UI.

However, the expectation is in a few months, restrictions will loosen and the recovery will begin.

So yes, the stock index should drop, but not by 33%. That was an overreaction. So now the market is going up, but it will still be down 10-20% until people get back to work.
Perhaps you could even pay a company to print the entire paper for you and have it delivered to your door every morning.

I don't know what the glass infiltrate is, but morgues overflowing could be a symptom of the government shutdown. For example, in Ecuador, there are bodies just lying on the street because the shutdown and general alarm about the virus means there are less people removing the deceased. The deceased are themselves not necessarily dead from covid-19 (although the news article headlines are worded ambiguously in that regard...).

In general, I see a lot of confusion and lack of clarity, along with cherry picking stats and stories to support a catastrophe narrative.
In the video linked elsewhere in the thread, the hiker explains (and shows) that the riverbed he's hiking up is littered with flints and these red iron-containing rocks. So possibly they can be struck for sparks?

Dormancy refers to when a host is infected but the virus is not replicating.

There is no "dormant vs. live" distinction for viruses outside of a host as they have no function / biological processes outside of a host. They are just molecular robo-syringes that inject RNA/DNA.

That's a false dichotomy.

We could have locked down the vulnerable (60+ and those with pre-existing conditions), and anyone with a temperature, focused our healthcare efforts on them and let everyone else go about their business with more caution (masks + hand washing).

We would have built societal (cows are a herd, humans are a society) immunity by this point and could slowly return to normal for the at-risk crowd.

As it stands, we haven't built up any social immunity and will have to wait over a year for a vaccine which, by definition, we will not know the long term effects of.

It's always hard to say for sure, but there's no particular reason to expect it wouldn't be right now.
This was quite the lopsided comparison - a document store just doesn't get fair competition in a relational setting. Additionally, both the SQL and the MongoDB queries appear unnecessarily complicated (or inefficient) for the examples they illustrate.
this isn't always true there are plenty of schema designs for storing data based on your application's usage patterns.
Even if it wasnt Sars-COV-2, something odd was going around as early as December and January, all over the country. Everyone who got it said it was like nothing they had before. The cough was horrible, and it caused headaches in less symptomatic people.
Here's what I have trouble reconciling: You say that this attenuated virus would spread automatically -- just like a virus -- and yet no one would be infected on purpose, only if people "chose to become infected on their own by hanging out with those infected with an attenuated strain".

How much agency do I have in whether I get infected or not? It seems strange to me if it depends on the genetic makeup of the virus.
Yeah, I think there exists a case where this is possible. Let me play around with it this weekend and I'll comment here if I find anything.
>Programming is applied mathematics.

I didn't downvote your comment but your statement is a very misleading idea. Yes, the study of Computer Science is a discipline of mathematics but common programming done by most devs is not applied mathematics.

Sure, if we really wanted to, we could say baseball is "applied calculus" because when an outfielder chases after a fly ball to intercept it, he's tracking an inverted parabola... and cooking is "applied physics" because of thermodynamics ... but insisting on that is just being pedantic and academic. People do not need calculus and physics classroom training to play baseball and cook food.
While I think it's easy to poke fun at this article - relational database better at handling relational data, more at 10 - it does make me want to understand why one would choose mongo over postgres?
There has never been any "10,000 hour rule". In his book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell misinterpreted and oversimplified the research into learning and training.

The point is to provide a more balanced and fair view of things. Accusations of whataboutism is disingenuous, especially because I didn't even engage in it: I talked about China only. If anything, the parent I replied to is the one that talked about other nations.

And there you go with the "or death" thing. Forced reeducation and detention, yes. But where is the proof that systematic killing is happening? All the proof of the latter I've seen so far come from US government or US-funded sources with poor research methodology (see for example https://thegrayzone.com/2020/03/26/forced-labor-china-us-nat...).

And what do you say about the fact that a dozen of Muslim nations officially approve of China's conduct in Xinjiang?
Where does all the money go if not in stocks?

The government is pretty preoccupied with the current stock market, for better or for worse. If they are unable to fix the the economy and appease shareholders, the thinking might be that we have bigger problems with the value of the dollars themselves.
Ask HN: Advancing career without working over-hours?
I am almost 30 and started programming when I was 18. I am about to become a father and I already feel that I can't work as much as my younger colleagues.

At my current employee, people get promoted who put the most hours in, since they then also end up putting more work down and knowing the systems better. I get it, when you work 60 hours each week, you will be the go-to person.

But I wonder what people do with familys? I have friends in the big FAANG companies and smaller open source companies. The hours of work is everywhere the same. You put in over hours and nobody complains since you know, you got a pretty good job and you can't complain.

After so many years however, I lost the ability to oversee bad (project) management and see it more of a: This is badly managed, you should hire two more people for this team etc.

I seem to be in the minority though. So I wonder what other people with families do: Are you switching companies to have saner work hours and "downgrade" your work environment? I really like working with ambitious people, but they I haven't found a company yet with sane hours but also with people eager to learn. I somehow manage to do both, but still fall behind inside bigger corporations.

Any advice or companies who manage both?
It seems insane to me that the market is now higher than it was at the end of 2018, given that entire sections of our economy are closed, default risk for almost every business is up, and unemployment claims are making new record highs.

In 2018 the fed was reducing their balance sheet - which seems to be the most important driver to equity prices rather than fundamentals.
I haven't tried their graphical builders, so I would definitely classify Odoo as "low code" not "no code". The Python and XML needed to produce a basic list/form type CRUD app is, IMHO, minimal when you consider the features that you get in the app (paging, filtering, sorting, grouping, spreadsheet import/export, comment thread, notification, etc.). And that's w/o considering the many plugins available that can be used together with your custom modules.

BTW, egow here. Spot of trouble with my password on that login name.

I would have written two functions instead where one takes a default argument and the other returns None if the list is empty.

In pseudo-Haskell notation:

min1 def Nil = def
min1 def (Cons x xs) = min1 (def if def <= x else x) xs

min : List Int -> Maybe Int
min Nil = None
min (Cons x xs) = min1 x xs

Exactly, I've used IDA for 15 years, and loved it. But since Ghidra was released, I didn't need to open IDA anymore. Ghidra simple killed IDA and I couldn't be happier about it.

On Intel: For some mitigations disabling hyperthreading will disable them as some vulnerabilities are only present with it enabled. That being said, the overall performance impact will be greater from disabling hyperthreading than by enabling the mitigations (though some vulnerabilities remain so long as you don't disable hyperthreading).

I wouldn't expect lower energy energy consumption from disabling hyperthreading: completing tasks faster allows the CPUs to reduce frequency faster.

1. These large 20%+ rallies are always common in bear markets.

2. The Fed has committed all told nearly 10 trillion dollars, maybe more.

3. Very little macro data has been released. Market is pricing in a V-shaped recovery which isn’t out of the question if we can open up in May.

Having said all of this, I think we head lower as the health crisis turns into a really bad recession. There may not be jobs for these workers to go back to.
Was first thinking (hoping) this was a decision tree what to read for all research papers of the last 30 years. Would be a gigantic tree but immensely cool to traverse such a tree based on decisions (questions) in the root and child nodes until you reach a collection of leaf nodes with papers to read. Parked that idea for later :).

This is also nice but not for me personally as the topic is not in my direct interest for now.

Thanks!
> whether the official making the claim in words (but not actions) that California is a “nation state” was legal

I have to imagine it is. The first amendment is quite broad. As long as no one is urging people to take concrete steps (e.g. don't pay federal income tax) I think pretty much anything is on the table.

Unfortunately, the PEPP-PT approach will not protect privacy in many European countries. This is because an individual is linked to a phone number. Since you cannot purchase a SIM card in many countries without showing ID (and a copy of your ID is made and sent to the state authorities), the state is easily able to match phone numbers with people’s real identities. Consequently, the authorities will easily be able to track the user’s movements, or at least track what other people that person interacted with over a period of time, which is essentially the same thing.

If you read the PEPP-PT documentation closely, the “privacy protections” are mainly keeping you anonymous to other ordinary people. But people should reasonably want to remain anonymous from the state as well.
The relationship between the number of infections and the number of confirmed cases is going to be hugely dependent on the number of tests and how they are distributed. 80x higher is very plausible but the ratio is going to be very country dependent. I'd be rather surprised if South Korea was more than 2x off, but I could easily see Ethiopia being 5000x off right now.
