A giant outbreak that had already passed weeks ago would be inconsistent with the shape of the curve of symptomatic cases, though. We know for sure that the bulk of people who have ever had this disease are still sick

They don't want to be fined? I thought in most places with a lockdown they're fining people who don't follow social distancing requirements.
I don't think the monadic model is any different, it's a generalisation that applies to either perspective. Because we can actually have the same debate over async functions: some people like to think about a function that returns Future<f64> and it would seem like a type error to say an async function returns 42.0, other people see it as a function that returns 42.0 but has some extra "async-ness" (which is the same kind of thing as being a fallible function). And if you think about it that's, in a certain sense, the same disagreement (and we can and do have the same debate in the context of a generic monad).

"The news agency found that not a single shipment of medical-grade N95 masks arrived at U.S. ports during the month of March... Federal agencies waited until mid-March to begin placing bulk orders for the urgently needed supplies... The first large U.S. government order ... was not placed until March 21st—the same day that Ries got his first phone call about the Kushner effort. The order... did not even require the supplies to be delivered until the end of April" (emphasis mine, edited for length)

Though the article goes into more detail to the question that the title asks, I thought this part was pertinent.

How did we end up with nurses in garbage PPE? The same way they still are in them. The problems that existed a month ago still exist today and are likely to continue to exist.

The points made are fine insofar as they go. At the same time, the current economic situation is, very literally, unprecedented. It has aspects of a war, a natural disaster and a secular recession. Economists should try to estimate its effects, but in this case their predictions need to be taken with an extra large grain of salt.
Latency in a VoIP phone call has nothing to do with the control protocols and everything to do with your connectivity and the configuration of the jitter buffers on either end.

There should be no practical difference in audio performance, either latency or quality, between different VoIP signaling protocols unless something is wrong. If you're experiencing latency on calls that is significantly greater than your network latency plus jitter then something is wither misconfigured or malfunctioning.

That said as RIPT attaches the media to the signaling in a single flow of packets it should have far fewer problems negotiating NATs and similar scenarios that have been known to cause problems for SIP. Those problems cause complete loss of audio in one or both directions though, anything affecting call quality is almost certainly a network performance issue.

Those professions usually require a license gated by a standardized exam, which ensures some level of competency before showing up to the interview.
But the integration by parts article still starts with a very simple sentence, and has a nice colored graphic for comprehension. This is a clear example of "simple and accessible".

It quickly helps forging an intuition of the new concept, using phrases like "Thus integration by parts may be thought of as deriving the area of the blue region from the area of rectangles and that of the red region." which are not very mathematicallish.

All the while, it's a good article for maths people.

Once again, in a great article, what should be simple and explained is not prior knowledge, but the new concept introduced.
Yup, that's true, by design it's like that.

Confusion between the different mask standards and their effectiveness is also a point where I think people are talking past each other.

NIH has a study on their website that says basic surgical masks are roughly equivalent in protection or N95's in practical real word settings when respiratory illness is involved. [0]

There is also supposedly a huge supply of the Chinese N95 standard equivalent "KN95" masks available. They are said to be made in the same way but the factories that make them haven't gotten regulatory approval from the US Government.

Why not import KN95's and give them out to the public since healthcare can't / won't use them.

I'm guessing you're being downvoted because your response hasn't offered anything terribly constructive to the conversation, but I have to actually commend your attitude as I have reached a similar mentality. I am Leetcoding, still suck at it but persisting. I'll play the game because I'm not sure what other choice I have. I don't enjoy my current job and in order to get the jobs I want with the people I want to work with this is the price. That being said, it's absurd we have to do this EVERY DAMN TIME. Even moving between FAANG requires you to do this. That in and of itself is a clear indication of how bad of a signal this interview process is. Reviewing reddit and team blind and HN, it seems many folks working at a big tech company still need to leetcode to move to another big tech company despite already passing the bar at one! If that isn't a clear indication of the type of information these interviews provide I don't know what other evidence we need.

Considering how standard it is, we might as well just make it a part of a software developer certification/license that you have to do once to break into the industry.

Then maybe companies can actually focus on hiring for the job?

Even then, I've started to ask what "hiring for the job" means. General aptitude in our field should be a good indicator of ability to learn and pick up skills in different specialties.

The funny thing is, despite our best efforts to not become a real standard profession we are behaving a lot like one, except we don't realize it and keep making candidates jump through the same hoops repeatedly.

Getting many software jobs is still about network and recommendations.

Getting many software jobs is about a standardized base level skillset and knowledge (i.e. leetcoding).

Getting many software jobs is about specializing in a domain and skillset (for e.g. ML or finance or cyber security and all their respective languages and frameworks).

And as many commentors have mentioned we aren't as meritocratic as we would like to believe. We still bring our biases to the hiring process. We still hire people we like for subjective reasons over others.

My point is this. Maybe, just maybe, it's time we as an industry standardized the profession officially and codified what it takes to get certain positions. That's what I can offer to this conversation constructively.

Yes, knowing algorithms and data structures IS imporant to being a good software developer, even if you are building CRUD or mobile apps. But, how many times to do I need to prove I know them? Yes, showing leadership skills IS important to being a good software developer. But isn't being a leader mostly about conflict management, moral obligation and being ethical?

Maybe we can stop fearing becoming a real profession that is beholden to standards and public scrutiny and embrace it. It will end up being better for everyone. Then we can revisit the criteria regularly to make sure the tests we need to pass represent what it means to be do our jobs and do them well.

And even if they do linger on for a long time (years) then businesses will also need sufficient liquidity to adapt to a new normal. Startups created to fulfill any new or newly important needs.
Good question. I am even surprised why not Kickstarter - it's more suitable for the larger goals.

I also think a lesson people might have learned on the business side is that theres almost no point planning for something like this - how is a small business supposed to have enough cash on hand to make it through something like this? This is just so bad for so many restaurants/small businesses etc that it's not really something you can overcome with some planning if you own a small margin small business

If you want classes that are more advanced or that go into greater depth, I recommend those offered by edX or Stanford-online or MIT OpenCourseware. These are full-term for-credit courses with video lectures (MIT, less so) at top schools that you can 'audit' for free, though none will grade your homework or projects unless you pay full tuition. By contrast, 90% of Coursera or Udemy courses are much shorter and more introductory.
Since this flurry of APL/J/K/A+/Q articles started, I've been wondering about the relationship between APLs and literate programming.

They say that APL was developed to mimic mathematical notation, and I see the resemblance. But real works of mathematics consist of one or two lines of expressions separated by sentences and paragraphs explaining the goal of those expressions.

So far in K "advertising" I only see the expressions and not the explanations. The explanation is there, but it's not a comment in the codebase; it's in a blog post that explains it. The code has many lines of expressions on top of each other, and nobody writes math that way.

I feel like I'm missing something, basically. It's clear how to write K, but what are the best practices for making a large codebase readable? I shouldn't have to invent that myself, right?
Cars used to be a good example, but this is quickly changing. Modern cars relay OBD-II (unofficially OBD-III, not entirely ratified) data over cellular networks. Most electric cars and especially self driving cars are sending and receiving telemetry data and software updates all the time. Some people are even voluntarily adding OBD-II cellular dongles to their car to get lower insurance rates. This includes real time GPS coordinates and speed. Some regions are already considering making this a requirement for cars sold after {n} date (date to be determined) so they can see your smog emission data real time. This almost happened in California, but car manufacturers were not ready and successfully pushed back, for now. I would suggest that within a decade or so, a majority of cars will be wiretap devices.
I might live in in a country I'm not a national, so I don't have a local passport.

I'd also point out that planning for "high risk" events like this is not something small to medium size businesses should be doing. Government yes, but I don't expect my mexican restaurant to have a plan in case of a global pandemic :). Just like I don't expect them to hedge pork futures so my pork tamales don't go up 8 cents.

Gov is insurance and I want them to be building resilience into the system. That is done with proper unemployment systems that can help people get back to work, but also are ready to go in cases like this or recessions. The delay to pay people is crazy. The EU and Canadian unemployment systems are designed for this more than the American system and it is showing.
Ya I ordered a bunch of stuff from them years ago. They have been around at least over a decade and were legit.

This was pre-Ghidra's release obviously, so I looked around for disassembler and came across IDA. I couldn't find a student version, so I actually emailed them asking about it.

The answer I got was a prompt, but terse, "No, sorry.".

I always wondered, how do you expect to gain mind-share if you won't even throw an undergrad a trial license? Regardless, it looks like Ghidra is eating IDA's lunch and at $365/year this doesn't seem like an adequate response.

Just a note, unemployment isn't working, that $600 bucks hasn't been reported received by anyone because they are not sure how to deploy it. I am sure it will come, but it might not be for another 3 to 4 weeks. Which if you have bills and rent you might be in big trouble.

Does anyone have reports of anyone getting it?

None of my friends who were laid off are getting it yet and the states they talked to say they are waiting guidance from the labor department.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. This indeed answers a question such us "What community is used to hear what you have to say?".

It is not really based on your interests, it just takes your text and suggests subreddits where people have posted similar texts.

Otherwise, I agree on what you say. I would love to also see those kind of systems. Kind of what you get as a reaction when you talk with a mentor that surprises you ;)

Unfortunately, my skills are not there yet but I am working hard to eventually be able to build those "surprise/discovery" systems.
Thats false. The UK's plan was to not quarantine ANYone.

The young are basically immune to this.

I'm saying quarantine the vulnerable populations and let the healthy populations out.
Tracking Dashboard for US Covid-19 Spread
This is very true.

I've personally observed two households where one member had some sort of very nasty flu thing with a dry cough, fever and breathing issues (likely covid but no test available) and other members were just unusually tired and with a tickily throat. The later could be classed as asymptomatic and would never have considered covid but they clearly had some symptoms.
My family lives in Maryland, and we're pretty sure we caught covid-19 back in February. A disease suddenly came out of nowhere in our daughter's daycare, put one child in the hospital with severe pneumonia, and our daughter had diarrhea, upset stomach, and fever for over a week. My wife caught a cough that stayed with her for many weeks, and at times had trouble breathing. This was before we even knew much about covid-19, nor were taking it seriously.

the Technology Connections yt channel has an experience report about the Onyx Boox Max 2 tablet (13.3 inch):

tldw: it's not great for non-ereader tasks. the display is fine, but the tablet is hampered by slow hardware and bugs in its customized Android. using normal apps is challenging even with the compat tricks the OS gives you (e.g. disabling animations, "high contrast")

he mentions that Onyx also offers a non-tablet e-ink monitor, maybe that's better?

> All the attenuated live viral vaccines spread.

Can you point me to sources supporting that claim? I searched myself, and what I found says that our knowledge is limited to the polio vaccine:

"Little attention has been given to vaccine transmission, possibly because transmission is rarely measured and largely unknown in humans except for the oral polio vaccine. Whether transmission is indeed rare for other live vaccines, or has merely gone unnoticed, is not clear – polio vaccine transmission is accompanied by evolution to high virulence, creating problems that draw attention to transmission."

Why is this?
> "I truly doubt the asymptomatic carrier and spreader myth."

I partially agree. If you're infectious, then the virus is multiplying inside your body. Eventually your immune system is going to react to that and you'll feel it.

But it's also quite possible that you can be infectious before you feel ill.
The same is true of a fire in your small restaurant.

Yet people buy insurance for that.

Pandemic insurance could exist, and a massive fund could be built up over many decades to pay out when a pandemic does occur.

It would be expensive though. If a pandemic occurs every 100 years, and cuts revenue to zero for 6 months, that means the average cost is 0.5% of revenue...

If a startup wants to 'disrupt' the art world, I think the first step would be to figure out how you are going to make a business that cultivates an artist's career over the long term and which establishes a real art scene involving both artists and collectors.

As an aside, this view of how to establish a startup and 'disrupt' an industry isn't a very positive one. I hope artinres aren't aiming to take over the existing art market, but instead they want to grow the whole market and bring together new buyers who haven't bought from galleries with artists who want to sell their work.

Whenever a startup's pitch deck includes something like "The global market for this is $X billion, and we want to get 5% of that.", I always wonder why they want to fight the established competition who won't give up their business easily. Competing is hard. If you can find a way to grow the market by 5% instead you'll get the same result for much less effort (still a massive amount of effort though, obviously).
