Not at all applicable in this case. Some federal authorities in the US attempted to halt some 3 million (or 500,000 depending on reports, it seems) purchased shipments destined for Canada from 3M.

It was only the intervention at the highest level of the Canadian government that stopped this.

It's worth pointing out that without Canadian nurses from Windsor who cross the border every day to work in Detroit hospitals, the healthcare system in Detroit wouldn't function.

Or that apparently the pulp used to make the 3M masks comes from softwood from British Columbia.

I'm sure Chrystia Freeland made these points and many others abundantly clear when she got on the phone with the Trump administration.
Steve Schoger started a video series called Refactoring UI a few years ago where he would take a real website layout, and through incremental tweaks, produced stunning results.[1] He always explained his reasoning for each change, justifying the concrete design tips he recommends. That's where the book name originated, and it's much like the video series (with some helpful appendices including mocks, color palettes, etc). It does not tell one how to implement said designs.

It sounds like your work has amazing potential. How far have you come already, and what are your biggest challenges moving forwards? How many tests did you manage to process today?
Sorry posted in response to wrong comment and so not direct response to the comment replied to, more the thread above and editing this in as unable to delete and redo, sorry my bad.

When outsourcing of production and labour suits, it's ignored for the underlying issues, when those underlying issue come to the surface, the same people who shifted for a shareholder appeasement dividend are just as quick to point the finger in every direction apart form themselves.

That in many forms is how things have played out in resource supply chains, this with margin nibbling away and with that a shift from local sourcing todwards, saving some money short-term are only a disaster away from being seen. Alas even those disasters need to be blatant enough to get noticed and the response and excess transportation of products and true impact/cost upon the environment as bit by bit, gets slower in acknowledgement.

But easy to reduce everything as tribal politics when convenient and carry on paying lip service and then wonder why we are in the state we are in. Of course it is akin to claiming everything is down to aliens and when you look at it like that, it's crazy and ignores the real issue of accountable and responsible buying and selling, something that is hard to account and balance upon the company books and with that, the drive for profit being the goal, bad things happen and until the system truly accounts for such things and the impact - the same mistakes will carry on transpiring and the people blamed for crimes they did not commit and those that commit true crimes are allowed to carry on as the law and rules are so slow in catching up that by the time they do, the problems have shifted.

Maybe why tax havens and the like are still a thing as are many other forms of unfairness that play out in the world today.

But we do live in a society that is more geared towards reactive handling of issues over proactive handling.
> if a crank takes the theory of relativity to heart, does that invalidate it?

Absolutely not. Reread my comment. There are experts who describe the theory of relativity and link to papers supporting it. It is far better to link to articles from those experts than to articles from cranks who happen to get relativity correct but intersperse their articles with conspiracy theories.

A Flat Earther might write an article about geometry where the geometry is valid and then mix in unsubstantiated claims about the shape of the Earth. Would you say that is a good article about geometry? No. You would link to an article about geometry that sticks to just the facts.
Yes, devs prefer CLI, but most users of Airflow are not devs. Just because something is OSS does not mean it's geared towards devs
I don't know why I'm replying but if you read my entire comment, you'd see that your concern is addressed: some of the bailout is going directly to the people to address those needs.
Imagine mathematicians calling commutative groups abelian? How do you remember if xy=yx there?
The Fed buying junk bonds is completely misleading and likely only has consequences for a single company; Ford. Ford has more liquidity on-hand than GM (investment grade which means nothing right now) and can likely ride this out better than they can. Which one is more "overextended"? Do you have any idea of how large the universe is that this covers? Are these non-high yield companies not "overextended" somehow because a random rating agency put some different letters next to their name?
Probably, yes. My point is if they wanted a general purpose high performance multi-paradigm language like Swift. But in general I think Julia would have been a better choice, so I agree.
#offmychest I detest Ritesh Agarwal and his poorly run startup. They have absolutely no culture, a friend who was working for their Bangalore sales team told me it was a dog-eat-dog world amidst them and clearly they're a good example of what not to do after you receive so much funding(lease properties in vegas lmao instead of fixing your app and doing better due diligence for the hotel listings so that some form of quality control can be expected, they just put a big sign in front of some run-down disgusting motel which says OYO), rose too quickly and now they have to resort to all sorts of tomfoolery to justify Masayoshi to stay sustainable. I have no idea how they'll ride the post corona wave when travel and hospitality have been the most hit sectors. I pray for you man ritesh goodluck.
Just like the supply chain the family structure has shifted to a a just in time no margin system with child care outsourced to the most efficient location. When the childcare system gets taken offline there isn’t enough capacity to handle work and childcare and rent something is going to get dropped
I don't think this has got anything to do with China's soft power. The Dutch generally look at things in a calm and less emotionally-loaded manner, at least compared to the Americans. There is still a slight slant towards mistrust but it's nowhere near how it is in America.

I see the US social media villanizing China for the most insane things that can be easily disproven. The Dutch at least make an attempt at being objective.

My read is that this is a technique that can make it easier to write certain types of machine learning applications - which means less coding, more giving the application data so that it can fine-tune it's behavior. There are also applications we don't know how to write, but we can train a program (a machine learning model) to behave that way.

There would be domains where this would be a major advantage and (probably) applications where it wouldn't be particularly helpful.

Best to think of it as another tool in the engineering toolbox.
I went through a bootcamp too.

I'd look around the room and "Man at least half of these folks have no chance.".

It is very much a thing that for most people you need to be "INTERESTED" in how this works for it to work out as a career / push through frustration and have the tenacity to keep at it.

Just programming as a job with tasks like a garbage man or something where you go do the thing and never do it if you don't have to ... just is a rough way to learn.
A lot of the pushback is coming from this:

‘ - Redux _has_ been over-used and put in apps where it didn't fit well, and I want people to only use it when it makes sense to do so’. ‘

There are developers working day in and day out in these Redux codebases so our feedback is coming from a real place. There’s a million articles that pushed Redux to the top and got it used in just about everything. Articles just like this one.

This article is literally pushing back against all the reasons why Redux might not be a good fit. There’s very little in it that goes ‘yeah you know what, for this scenario, don’t use Redux’.
It doesn't really solve the problem. How do you format this code with tabs:

<TAB><TAB>function name(arg1, arg2,
<TABs or spaces?????> arg3 <-- align with arg1)

The other issue is with maximum line length. If you have a maximum line length of 80, do tabs count as 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or 8 spaces towards meeting that line length?

Using spaces ensures that it at least looks consistent, independent of your tabstop settings.
Oh, absolutely.

It's that sort of thing that has pushed me in the direction of, if there's no other pressing reason to adopt a language, selecting those which have been stable for a while.
I think that, in XXI century, we're realizing that the human race is not yet ready for globalization. Heck, we still can't even assimilate into respective cultures properly. People emigrate from places with problems, then insist the place they immigrated to should be like the place they emigrated from.
I can't tell if this is satire or not. Just because a language is open source does not mean it's a perfect democracy.
Correct, you get it when you show loyalty to ccp.

I thought what he refer to might be called sub-second response time which is impossible to do for wide area network under cics.
It is, but the community is pretty awesome and helpful, and anyone who knows Elm and takes the time to read at least one introductory Haskell book should be able to get productive pretty quickly.
This is a really smart move on Japan's part and hopefully other countries quickly follow suit with more substantial sums of money. $2.2B isn't going to go very far, but pumping trillions in to local manufacturing might, and would also act as a decent stimulus for local economies. Any products that can be manufactured domestically, or might suffer from shortages during global pandemics or other worldwide issues, need to be manufactured domestically. This ought to be pretty obvious at this point.

We should be using this opportunity to determine which must have manufacturing capabilities locally, making that happen, then sticking to it long term for national defense. This doesn't just apply to Japan, or the US, but every country on the globe. Global supply chains are really showing their weaknesses over the last couple months.

Additionally, anything that countries can do to pry away CCP control of global supply chains should be done, with a long term goal of weakening the CCP as they have certainly shown they can't be trusted. They can't be trusted by their people, they can't be trusted by other nations. They've shown now multiple times they will do everything that they can to cover up growing pandemics within their boarders, hide actual infection and death numbers, downplay problems, silence whistleblowers, and lie. Beyond that, they continue to support genocide inside their own boarders, and they continue their aggressive expansion in the South China Sea. They are a bad actor.

This is a site for computer nerds, and to them doubling is an order of magnitude.

(Well at least to the subset who think in binary. For those who prefer hex, even a factor of 10 won’t do it).
Well, I think those are just markers. I think the real issue began with mass murdering of Old Believers during Nikon reforms, which were mainly about power (to separate from Constantinople).
So what about Fortran if the modern languages in this space fail to satisfy? It's fast, statically typed, and often used for heavy duty number crunching on supercomputing architectures, so obviously it handles parallelism well.
They are certainly better than Type I and Type II, but it is still a potentially ambiguous (at least as a non-native speaker). What makes a "false positive" false? Is it called a false positive because it is actually a negative, or is it called a false positive because it is a positive for which you made the error of calling it negative?
"workout area" because nothing inspires productivity more than the lack of fresh air and the stench of post-workout body as you sit back down at your desk in your shed.
when china shutdown domestic movement into/out of Wuhan they kept open international movement into/out of Wuhan ... at the same time neighbor countries with china tried to block cross boarder movement yet china forced those trade routes to stay open well after Wuhan had entered lockdown - pure evil
Ford's finances were marginal prior to COVID ramping up across the world (debt downgraded to junk in September 2019 [1]). If the Fed's actions are solely to support $F from becoming insolvent, that's in violation of their mandate.

Your argument holds little water when you wave away the ratings of "random rating agencies". Their ratings are what drives investment decisioning by the largest funds in the world.

What I get from this is it's remarkable how inept the model established by 'economic liberalism', with its just-in-time delivery and 'globalized production to cheapest labour zone' is at delivering on people's real needs in time of crisis.

It's amazing how quickly the very proposition that we can get by without any state-level macroeconomic planning, -- and that the free market organically produces superior results -- is shown to be an ideological fantasy the moment s*hit hits the fan, with bare shelves and missing medical equipment and millions set to be without health insurance in the US...

My opinion: States that retain some capacity of a planned economy will do better in scenarios like this. And with climate change becoming more serious, there will be more of these kinds of crisis.

Kotlin is a language by a small company that only grew out of sheer love by the world. Even Google had to throw in the towel and officially support Kotlin. Flutter is a reflection of "creating a new language" - Dart.

Kotlin doesnt have the heavy handed lock-in of Swift. Wouldnt Swift fundamentally by handicapped by Apple's stewardship ? What if Lattner wants to add new constructs to the language ?
> But this time, reporting to WHO took ~5 days. It was discovered by dr Zhang Jixian on Dec 26, then reported to WHO on Dec 31.

False. It took much longer than five days. The WHO was indeed notified on the 31st but the Chinese government organs knew about this long before. First CCTV report that I recall was around the 15th. First confirmed cases were early December. There’s even US intel reports dating back to November.

But when this started, the Chinese system did what the Chinese system always does: try to save face and pretend all is okay. I do not share any optimism that this trait will change especially given the crushing blows to press freedom in the last ten years.
To put some guesstimates on it:

Say 50k average cash compensation (low for tech, but most businesses aren't tech). Health insurance, social security, medicare, 401k match, etc. would add to this number.

10k employees * 50k/year / 12 months = 41.6 (repeating of course) million per month.
> The only real advantage I can see is concentration of skill - e.g. people say that you basically have to develop electronics in Shenzhen, there's simply not enough talent in the US and EU - but I wonder if the efficiency gains are offset by innovation losses. Again, IMO it would be better to have a local high-skilled population of engineers & entrepreneurs.

There are probably advantages for many large corporations. e.g. Nike, Apple. Design in the US, manufacture in China (or equivalent), reap profits in the US

What perhaps we should be thinking about is the second order effects of unfettered globalization. In the good times we only see the advantages. Ultimately, it looks like it is better to have some redundancy (in certain areas/sectors at least) to be able to deal with situations like these
> This heroism stuff is just bullshit so we can shame people who refuse to die.

Every medical worker who goes into the fray to help save people in this pandemic deserves the highest praise. Every medical worker who doesn't on the grounds that it's extremely unsafe deserves understanding - after all, as the EMS mantra goes, the safety of the rescuer takes priority over the rescue; a sick or dead medical practitioner can't help anyone anymore.

Every hospital administrator and every politician who did anything but their absolute best to help ensure a safe working environment for medical workers, and every private company that continued to fleece healthcare, deserve to be called out, shunned and stripped of their possessions. I have doctors in my family, and I worry about their lives every day. Talking with them, I wouldn't blame my Poland's medical staff if they all decided to just pack up and leave. It's an absolute tragedy that medical personnel has to fight an uphill battle just to have a chance of not dying, trying to save people from COVID-19. As much as I can believe the news, it's the same in most of Europe and in the US.

I hope that after the dust settles, there will be a reckoning. That people will finally demand that their governments unbreak their healthcare.
>US trying to unsuccessfully hoard supplies, issues with the German testing company

This is bullshit. At least three of those stories have been quietly retracted. Also you're damn right US should be putting itselt first when in crisis.

This has also confirmed the true colors of the media - hypocrites who spent months comparing COVID to the flu and yelling "sinophobia!" For closing the border, before turning on a dime to shit on the president for not being prepared.

>When times are great -> Globalism

>When times are tough -> Isolation and tribalism

When times are great, people become naive and forget that we live in a world with scarce resources and different cultures. When times are tough we are suddenly reminded of the way things actually are, that life is not the utopian vision that some people seem to think.

What about our models for global warming?
FWIW, she said "almost perfectly" and "up to 200,000 deaths."
The revised model predicts up to ~127k deaths, which is certainly less, but not egregiously so (here: https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america )

If you kept the model exactly the same, you'd nevertheless get tighter and tighter estimates (i.e., reduced uncertainty and a lower upper bound) as more data comes in. This is just how statistics works.

Moreover, we're presumably learning stuff as we go (e.g., putting patients prone seems to work better than on their backs), so the survival rate itself is (hopefully) not stationary.
Maybe.

It does look like pretty easy to understand code though, which can be quite educational coming into a new language.

You'd probably need to understand AVL trees fairly well first, but there should be quite a few who do.
