I love this idea. As soon as I pull out Visio to make a diagram, I tend to get frustrated trying to figure out the design aspects. What arrangement I should use and where to start. If I could just plot out all of the text, and let a program generate a clean graphical representation, that sounds like a gamechanger.
No, he wasn't.
Calling them mind maps recalls why they failed, when they are really digraphs, taxonomies, and basic ontologies.

Having worked with these for a while, some people actually think their job is to be the stewards and gatekeepers of knowledge that can in fact be easily encoded into a taxonomy and ontology to make it scale.

I love these, and every tool like this is fundamentally subversive. Just don't be surprised when someone tries to discredit it.
Yes, but the Sunday service provides nourishment for your soul, which they may decide is more valuable than life itself. Are you going to say they are wrong? Well, you're welcome to say that, and I'd happen to agree with you in practice, but our jurisprudence does not allow us to make that decision for others.

Thus there is a strong case that, to the extent to which the government stops these services, it cannot be because they say that this is not essential. Rather, it must be because the measures stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, and that no narrower measures would suffice.

(And if you did want to actually make Sunday services happen, you'd be well served by devising narrow measures that do suffice.)
Functionally impossible. Even if they aren't allowed to own anything, you can't stop people from doing them favors of one sort or another. You'd basically be making it a rule that their reward for their work is getting discreet favors from special interests. It'd be hard to establish a set of rules airtight enough to stop it from happening entirely, companies would find ways around whatever basic regulations are put in place just like they do now.
Hah, I have seen this before but this was the first time I actually notice the PRODUCT SPEC at the beginning:

"Surprise and delight" has definitely become one of my new bullshit bingo favorites.

If you’re trying to avoid the paywall, note that the NYT has removed the paywall on Coronavirus related articles. Including this one.
That's a good thing! The state governors at least nominally care about their people.

Hey everyone, I'm the creator of this. I'm listening to everyone's comments about new features and expect them shortly!

Thanks for everyone's support and appreciation.
Third time is apparently the charm and now it's working just perfect. If it messes up again I'll send something.
In a pandemic, I think it’s fair to value public safety over privacy. What comes after the pandemic is a separate concern and discussion.
My point precisely.
The Saudi Riyal has been pegged to the US Dollar since 1986, as are most Gulf countries: UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman. Kuwait was the only one to break it under pressures from the 2008 GFC. This is the historical backbone of the Petrodollar and has survived decades of political and financial strain.

Also, >It's just easier< strikes me as very fragile logic, because it is only True until it isn't.
If you're working with pytorch, porting basically means export to ONNX. Sometimes you'll run into an op that doesn't work with ONNX, but there are a lot fewer of those in TRT7. Unfortunately I have to work with TRT6, so I have to use PyTorch 1.2 and be "creative" to work around TRT6 bugs. That said, it could very well be painless for you. No reason not to try. Just export the model, and benchmark it with `trtexec`, in both fp32 and fp16. An hour of work at most.
Have you tried using GTD method with a task tracking tool? It might help in your case.

I firmly believe that in theory all computer systems can be understood.

But I agree when he says, it has become impractical to do so. But I just don't like it personally, I got into computing because it was supposed to be the most explainable thing of all (until I worked with the cloud and it wasn't).

I highly doubt that the original engineers who designed the first microchips and wrote the first compilers, etc... relied on 'empirical' tests to understand their systems.

Yet, he is absolutely correct, it can no longer be understood, and when I wonder why I think the economic incentives of the industry might be one of the reasons?

for example, the fact that chasing crashes down the rabbit hole is "always a slow and inconsistent process" will make any managerial decision maker feel rather uneasy. This make sense.

Imagine if the first microprocessors where made by incrementally and empirically throwing together different logic gates until it just sort of worked??
It’s a scamola. They’re required to have X% of contracts fall into that minority / women-owned category so there’s a series of shell companies that offer a conduit service to subcontract the work.
I agree with your concerns about Eastern Europe. I have many friends there and their respective countries are not prepared at all in terms of resources.

Turkey has me the most worried at the moment. Turkey is maxing out its testing capacity every day, with cases rising by 4k like clockwork; 47k cases with very few recovered and it's accelerating. Their infrastructure can't handle the existing cases much less another 50k+ in the coming 7-10 days.

And then Russia. I wish there was a clearer picture of what was going on there. For example:

"Suifenhe in China’s far northeastern Heilongjiang province has seen an influx of Chinese people returning home, many infected with the virus, travelling by road from the Russian far eastern city of Vladivostok after flying there from Moscow."

Cash App, the Stimulus, and You
If it's any comfort, the death rate is so high with ventilators (80%+, which is bad even for ventilators) that some doctors are trying to avoid using them, if possible, because they are concerned the ventilators are actually killing people.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22819580

I previously suggested that ventilators were problematic and I wasn't happy with the rush to create more of them instead of promoting less invasive treatments. I'm glad some doctors are looking for alternatives, but we really need to be a lot more aggressive about that angle.
Intermodal: A new command-line BitTorrent metainfo utility
That seems unreasonable. "Churches" is an enormous and highly general category. That's analogous to criticising a story on a business doing something controversial or dangerous instead of exclusively interviewing the thousands of businesses doing good.
Similar free software in this space: graphviz, which is infinitely customizable but often difficult; plantuml, which is more focused.
What exactly are these Cobol programmers supposed to do? Process punch cards manually?
Actually, something like this has been routinely done at the low level, especially when programming in assembly. (Also, trivially done in C++.)
I have friends being turned away from tests because they’re “not severe enough,” yet have the symptoms.
I completely fail to see what is so "cool" about increasing system complexity beyond of what is actually enough for most of the real life cases. To me: reliably working product is what is "cool" and that is what I've always pursued.
Translation of the German captions:

The number of hospitals that report that their ICU capacities as:

Blue: Has Free Capacities (639 currently)

Yellow: Some Contention (326 currently)

Red: Fully Utilized (41 currently)

Covid 19 patients in ICUs: 2453 (76% of which are on ventilators)

ICU beds reported by hospitals: 19,663 (58% in use currently)
We used Angular 1. Took about 2 years, but it was just me for about half that time and we were all learning js and the web ecosystem. The new system had been prototyped a few years earlier using java swing. That really helped nail down the design requirements.
Lets not forget Ivy Lee who really founded the modern PR industry.

Ivy Lee rebranded Rockefeller as america's lovable, generous and charitable "grandpa" by having him give money to children on camera and setting up family controlled "charities". Which has been copied by many wealthy people since. Most recently by Bill Gates and his family controlled charities.

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

Funnily enough, both bernays and lee were journalists... But then again, newspapers have always been PR and journalists have always been influencers/PR workers.
If you want to see a true windfall for hedge funds and billionaires let every business in America fail simultaneously and see the sharpest and best positioned in finance scoop up assets in the BK process for pennies on the dollar. Distressed operators like Apollo etc... could only dream for a shot like that.
You’re missing the point. These people have (some, limited) control over the economy. Their financial incentives should be restricted to long-term, gradual growth only, so that they attempt to achieve that.
He paid women to walk and smoke in an Easter Sunday parade, which to me just seems so vile. (the whole thing is vile, but that particular touch seems to me almost diabolical.)
Yes and no. Bernays was one of the players during WWI propaganda, specifically he was part of Committee on Public Information. If I remember correctly, Lippmann had in mind that particular time period when he wrote about manufacturing consent. A real eye opening account comes from George Creel, organizer of CPI. If you haven't read that yet, look into "How We Advertised America." It's incredible, I wrote a paper on this for my undergrad thesis. Propaganda of that time was so remarkable that you can use their copy as a classic example in advertising today.
Does anyone know how this differs from PlantUML or Mermaid or GraphViz. The LaTeX is interesting but not terribly helpful out of physical sciences. The themes idea is good. Rest seems underpowered compared to the above.
Of all the woes of modern UI, latency on text input is what I find most irritating. It's physical, visceral, mental, I don't know; when you've been raised by incredibly snappy video games (1980-1990s, 2D glory), it's asinine to suffer input lag in 2020 of some x86 platform. It's just alien an experience, like time suddenly reversed for userland or something.

In the browser, given the steaming pile of code that some pages have become, I may understand some lag, quirks. They broke the web and Chrome is helping so... Yeah. But in a text editor of all applications? No. I mean, just... no. (Looking at you, atom, vscode... WHY?)

Whatever the hell you're trying to search / display / message (I assume, trying to help me...): please begin by not interrupt my input feedback? That should be, I don't know, the only sane priority for UX, to actually respond to the user? Otherwise the computer feels... broken, subpar, unfit for the task? Am I alone in having these feelings when using devices?..

/rant over. I'm not that old for god's sake, 37 and they've got me jaded by UX quality already. All it took was two short decades to flush down the drain the precious good that didn't need fixing.

Ah. I'm sure we'll get back there. Eventually. Even if I have to write it myself (surely, we'll be legions). Someday I wonder what we're waiting for. And then I remember that this is the year of the Linux desktop... It's not that easy, is it?
From that list, Germany has more ICU beds per 100k inhabitants than any other country in that list except for the US, so it confirms that at least. Italy, France, Belgium, etc all have > 11, while Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Russia etc. have less than 10 each. Hungary and Czech republic have really good numbers, opposite to the trend and Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark have really low numbers, also opposite to the trend.

So it's pretty mixed actually. Only gives me more countries to be worried about :(

Less than 40% of cases result in any visit to a medical professional (# medical visits is about 0.4-0.5 of # cases, but some people will need >1 medical visit)
The question rather is if someone is able to pass on the virus, which is the relevant point today. And the PCR test is perfectly suited to check that.
Did the software happen to be used by courts in NY? On a job, I worked with fixed width ASCII NY court data that was processed on some sort of mainframe that was setup in the late 70s maybe early 80s. Still gets updated many times a day with every single civil case in NY state, always wondered if it was COBOL based.
These red-tape based systems are 80% corner cases, exceptions and special cases. The business “logic” resembles geological strata.

Nobody understands why the rules are the way they are - but if someone gets paid $1 less they'll be screaming at you.
These days, the "autonomous subsystem" is a microcontroller at the other end of a USB, SATA or PCI bus. Modern network cards also need to perform most of their packet-assembly operations on device and not in the kernel, or they would never reach their advertised max bandwidth.

It's a shame you can't easily add an extensions to most hosted postgres solutions. I hacked on the postgres ltree extension [1] recently, and was amazed at how easy it is to extend functionality of the database, add new types/operators/etc. I think if they were a bit more accessible we'd see them much more. You can even write them in go [2]

Have you gotten it working with just those steps? Every single tutorial we have tried on our work machines have resulted in failure with Ubuntu 18.04. I can usually get to a login prompt but then logging in just gives me a black screen, or other times the login is always rejected.

VNC works, but is so painfully antiquated in comparison to RDP. It guzzles way too much bandwidth even if all you have is a blinking cursor on screen. I really wish there was a solid RDP server for Ubuntu. I'm quite surprised at the state of things on this front.

I'm for it, but... how long until law enforcement uses/misuses this data?

Only concerned because of (not personal) past experiences.
Thank you very much. Much appreciated
An important question here is: will this framework go away once the pandemic is over? Something tells me it won't.
Thank you.

The translation I saw described yellow as something like "emerging bottlenecks." There seem to be a lot of them in Bavaria, where I have relatives.
I've always had failover functionality built in. As for patching - it very much depends on the nature of the patch, type of application and business constraints. Too much to write here. For the most part it never caused me any particular grief. The most generic case for server type is: all new requests are denied with appropriate error code, all requests in process are either gracefully completed or aborted if business logic allows for that. Meanwhile the background process is migrating/upgrading in place data model if there are any changes. Upon finishing the upgrade the new server takes over.

I do not thing upgrading microservices is any simpler. It could actually be way way worse.
how much money are we talking about and how much time since incorporation? and what will the money be used for?
I think it may differ by region. I can say factually that the testing in Texas is absolutely abysmal. Many people who have lots of symptoms are being turned away for testing.

On Tuesday our illustrious governor announced with lots of fanfare that Walgreen's would be expanding drive-thru testing using Abbott's 15-minute testing devices. It's now Friday evening and still no word on even where the locations will be for these testing sites. I'm sick of these BS press conferences and press releases, just STFU if you're not actually ready to do anything.

There is no way we'll be able to restart our economy without at least a 10X or more increase in testing. For right now the lack of testing isn't that huge of a deal when most people are quarantining at home anyway, but it will become a huge deal when people start going back to work. I'm still kind of amazed I haven't seen any convincing plan about how this eventually ends. Everything will just flare back up again once social distancing ends without tons of robust testing.

I understand, skin in the game. All I'm saying is that maybe it's a little restrictive, and perhaps not even working as intended.

It's pretty easy to cheat the system with a long only portfolio, if you're truly controlling the system: cause a deflation -> long treasures will be awesome (TMF just went +100% in the corona-crisis), cause inflation -> gold and maybe also stocks and real estate.

There's no single parameter that you can hook a leader to to assure progress. That's what voting is for. It is a very hard, very old, and probably impossible to solve problem: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/agencyproblem.asp

Things like this site from OP may work wonders. We need more disclosure and more pesky people prodding at leaders and executives, analyzing their every step. Journalism, serious journalism, even if done by non-professionals. Remember that since Markopolos & Madoff the SEC is giving substantial cash awards to whistleblowers (proportional to the penalty), which is fantastic. And they're paying out money all the time, so if you know of any fraud do yourself and the society some good: https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower
Install process is not straight forward in Ubuntu and it is installed in a not usual binary search path (look at /opt). No complain against the software (it's excellent) but I think this is a small bug for usability.
Honestly, the version they have is about as refined as they are going to get with it. There have been software changes that make the display better, and it's hackable so that you can make your own VFO for it etc, but the design has some fundamental flaws. To put it in perspective, v5 and v6 are almost identical except for the display. All of the same CW, layout, output, etc problems exist on the v6 as they did on the v5.

Keep an eye out for the QRP Labx QSX. It's been in development for a long time but will probably blow everything else out of the water, even things costing 10-15x as much.
People don't go into politics for the paycheck.

This wouldn't change if the salaries went up 10x, or even 100x.

Do you mean this?

> To protect user privacy, this data is associated with an identifier that rotates at the conclusion of a trip, not with the user’s Apple ID or any other account information. Rotating the ID at the conclusion of the trip makes it harder for Apple to piece together a history of any user’s activity over time.

https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/Location_Services_White_P...

I think it's a nice gesture, however I wouldn't say that Apple isn't in possession of that data. The phone already uses other Apple services that are linked to your Apple ID and those services tell your IP address to Apple. Even if Apple can't track you via the rotating ID (not sure how it's made, maybe they actually can't), your IP address will reveal you, at least as long as you are using ipv6 which Apple has been heavily pushing in the past years.

They might not have the data refined, but even the whitepaper says it only makes piecing together the location history harder, not impossible.

"Data never leaves the browser."

You are probably still using a stun server to do signalling, in which case, some data/info does still leave the browser.
Sadly, <ESC>it doesn'<ESC>t really solve t<ESC>he problem of interrupting one's fl<ESC>ow...

At least, such behavior should be user preference— “get out of my way” is like #1 on most users list for a useful toggle.

As for notifications specifically, it's not like we haven't developed 101 notification centers to postpone user response.

The problem, imho, with qualifying this as universally "not a deal breaker" is that it's a slippery slope, all too subjective to boot with— e.g. is Windows auto-rebooting not a deal breaker either? I'm sure to some people, not really...

A showstopper has very different thresholds depending on what you do. Live tasks notably (recording, streaming, etc) should be sanctuarized (down to a "real-time" setting at the thread level, when it's not actually unstable for some ungodly reason). Chrome is just another OS nowadays, videoconference being a prime example of app. I wouldn't like Chrome to nag me during an interview for instance.

If I even have to make just 1 extra move, gesture, click, whatever even a look away from my work, because the machine demands that I do (screen or app locked 'behind' otherwise), in effect creating unsollicited gates between me and my workflow... yeah, there's a big problem. 5 minutes saved a day per user for a big corp is millions saved before a month has passed.

Now think that we're collectively, computer users, like one big human corporation. Think of the time we're losing due to bad design. Let that sink in for a minute... It's a huge and stupid cost we impose on ourselves. Must be funny to some, idk...

There is a way to a better UX. We shouldn't need ESC to get there. ;-)
