Your earlier comment sounded to me like you were saying that current Western communist elites are somehow controlling the CCP, and that's why they are going along with "the corruption and subversion of Western institutions by the Chinese government." But that doesn't make sense to me because there aren't any Western communist elites anymore, are there?

But if you're just pointing out the Western origin of the foundations of Chinese Communism them, yes, I agree the whole thing could be seen, from the POV of the West, as being confronted with a kind of social/political prodigal son. I'm so used to thinking of communism as an Eastern thing, but you're right (again).

Does asciidoctor support tikz diagrams?
For most programming tasks I would focus on the base of the pyramid: Make the storage low-latency for small files, then up the memory size and bandwidth, and then use a CPU appropriate to the workload(ideally, it can go wide and parallelize - otherwise you're back to single-threaded perf). This mitigates the worst case of poorly optimized builds that need to frequently return to storage, and it improves all factors of the operating system when it chooses to swap to virtual memory(Windows has become a very aggressive swapper since Win10 launched and they added a new page file system on top of the old virtual memory).

You can spend time gazing at the benchmarks for each CPU, but I would not pinpoint it as the bottleneck for a responsive and pleasant programming environment. The new AMD chips are good all around. The new Intels are still OK, but the top end probably too hot and loud to reccommend.

For gaming, high clocks/high single-threaded IPC remain the primary factors. Games are mostly designed towards a certain number of cores and speed of I/O. Fast disk and memory will reduce sources of stutter but this is dependent on how often the game tries to load something.

from the paper: "..no toxicity was observed with ivermectin at any of the concentrations tested....

Ivermectin has an established safety profile for human use and is FDA approved for a number of parasitic infections1, Importantly, recent reviews and meta analysis indicate that high dose ivermectin has comparable safety as the standard low-dose treatment, although there is not enough evidence to make conclusions about the safety profile in pregnancy.

The critical next step in further evaluation for possible benefit in COVID patients will be to examine a multiple addition dosing regimen that mimics the current approved usage of ivermectin in humans. As noted, ivermectin was the focus of a recent phase III clinical trial in dengue patients in Thailand, in which a single daily dose was found
to be safe but did not produce any clinical benefit. However, the investigators noted that an improved dosing regimen might be developed, based on pharmacokinetic data. Although DENV is clearly very different to SARS-CoV-2, this trial design should inform future work going forward. Altogether the current report, combined with a known-safety profile, demonstrates that ivermectin is worthy of further consideration as a possible SARS-CoV-2 antiviral. "

The integration is very impressive, latest builds even have access to the WSL2 file system from Windows.

In 2016 I lost access to some repos on bitbucket after a similar occurrence. I made the mistake of using my (student) university email account to register with bitbucket (it was the primary email account I used for everything at the time). At some point, my university apparently decided to use Atlassian services which completely disabled any ability I had to login to that account. I don't know if linking together all accounts under a domain is just the default behavior from Atlassian or if both this former employer and my university decided to screw people over, but either way it's a stupid situation and unsurprising at this point.
I believe California has done an amazing job so far on the whole; “fair” would be a gross understatement. So I think we are in agreement there.

This is a great comment, thanks. So isn't there an argument in favor of infecting more people sooner in order to increase the immunity rate of the population, particularly if those people are at lower risk of complications for the disease?

For example why not pursue a policy such as: kids can go to school unless they live with someone who is at risk (since we know that children are at very low risk for complications). Similar to how we managed chickenpox before there was a vaccine.

I think we need to explore alternatives to lockdowns because I believe the economics of lockdowns will make them impossible to continue for very long. At the moment people see this as a "be heroic and do the right thing" issues, but most people don't yet understand the severity of the economic impact and haven't yet been personally affected by it. Lockdowns will probably become politically untenable by May or June whether anyone today likes that fact or not.
Being brutal heterodox: STOP WRITING SIGNED ARITHMETIC.

Your code assumes that negating a negative value is positive. Your division check forgot about INT_MIN / -1. Your signed integer average is wrong. You confused bitshift with division. etc. etc. etc.

Unsigned arithmetic is tractable and should be treated with caution. Signed arithmetic is terrifying and should be treated with the same PPE as raw pointers or `volatile`.

This applies if arithmetic maps to CPU instructions, but not to Python or Haskell or etc. If you have automatic bignums, signed arithmetic is of course better.

Curiously, native English speakers have a terrible ability to speak French (even though they are not as protective of their language). Personally, I think that this is because these two languages, despite being “neighbors” and in some respects related, are at different extremes of some kind of phonetic spectrum. (Learning the written language, on the other hand, is a breeze and fun.)

Docker is on macOS using the native hypervisor framework, what would be the point?
One passibility is: if some people are going to work then everyone's going to have to work, or else risk falling behind. It's the prisoner's dilemma, someone who wants to stay home would end up having to go to work anyways. This has already happened with the laughable amount of people considered "essential" when the governor of NYC made it optional (investment bankers taking the subway to go to work!)

Taken like that it becomes more like restrictions on pollution or laws against corporate espionage in how the government shapes the economy already.

A few days is a very long time when you're talking about an exponential curve. Shutting down a few days earlier relative to the start of the outbreak can easily halve the total number of deaths. And CA shut down 4 days before NY on an absolute basis and even earlier than that on a basis relative to the progression of the spread of the outbreak.

Acting early enough trumps everything else.
This is an interesting take considering Linux is Unix-like and macOS is technically a BSD derivative. I don’t think macOS will ever have a Linux syscall translation layer/subsystem (WSL1) nor a lightweight VM with special integration (WSL2) but you can do sort of similar things in third party software, I think. Docker for Mac is using the native VM framework and includes a filesystem integration called osxfs, but despite mentioning the source code in documentation it does not appear to be open source at this time?
Is there a shell+terminal+font combo that folks really like for WSL? I've tried the new terminal beta with zsh and--for reasons I can't quite articulate right now--it feels "off" and I invariably proceed to boot up virtualbox for my debian, i3, kitty, fira code setup to get work done. Maybe it's the break in filesystems and $HOME?

Edit: learning that WSL2 does away with the syscall-translating tech and mandates Hyper-V, the question of whether to look into this further becomes thornier!
Corona Concerts – List of Scheduled Livestreams
The death rate is 0.5% IF there's really good medical treatment. If there isn't then not only does the death rate from the covid go up but so do death rates for every other condition requiring medical treatment. And not only during the pandemic but for a some time afterwards as the health system recovers. That's not counting those who survive but have some form of permanent damage.

The way to avoid that is to at least spread out the impact over time. Telling people it'll be okay leads to no one listening and the health system collapsing. That's human nature. Telling people it's the apocalypse means most listen and the health system survives. Welcome to humanity.

This is great news. Looks like I neither need a separate Linux VM or dual booting Ubuntu desktop install anymore for testing my software given it will also run on WSL2 on general availability.

VMWare [0] will also support the Hypervisor Platform Api [1] allowing it to run besides WSL2 which uses Hyper-V. VirtualBox is still struggling and runs slow if at all with WSL2 and Hyper-V [2]

This is really awesome for kernel exploitation and such, but for more practical application testing, I've been working on an alternative solution for the last two months. Apple's iOS Simulator ships x86_64 binaries for all the iOS frameworks, so you need to build your application specifically for the Simulator in order for it to run; obviously a no-go for most cases, e.g. apps from the store. So I wrote a translation layer that does ARM64 emulation of the app, while translating calls from ARM->Native libraries and vice versa.

It currently supports most non-Swift apps and a small number of Swift apps; once I have proper Swift support, pretty much everything should Just Work (TM). Planning on releasing by end of month (hopefully) for $100/year, aimed primarily at bug bounty hunters and pentesters, though there's nothing stopping you from just using it to play an iOS-specific game or somesuch. If you're curious, you can see Xcode debugging an ARM64 app from the App Store here -- all of their inspection tools work out of the box! https://twitter.com/daeken/status/1242684576738271233

Well, I can guess at a few reasons. 1. As mentioned elsewhere, the radio signal path loss through salt water is astoundingly high -- I did the math once. 2. WW II era radio technology was bulky, and did not work well on batteries -- vacuum tube filaments eat a lot of power and the plate supply requires a high voltage battery. 3. WW II era radio technology did not have encryption built-in -- it would have been pretty easy for the enemy to signal the torpedo to blow up before you launched it, which would kind of ruin your afternoon.

Whole Earth Catalog
Exactly. Compile a C or C++ application with -Os and the highest size optimisation settings, and you'll almost certainly still end up with a binary that's several multiples if not an order of magnitude or more larger than if you had written it in Asm with the equivalent functionality. Compilers can do SIMD tricks and such to get close in speed, but they are still pretty horrible at size optimisation.

You could try to "decompile"(!) this project into a higher level language and compile the result if you were really curious and wanted to try this exercise in the opposite direction. I suspect a lot of the things done in this code aren't even representable in a HLL or something a C compiler could be coerced to generate (without cheating and using inline Asm.)

>For example why not pursue a policy such as: kids can go to school unless they live with someone who is at risk (since we know that children are at very low risk for complications). Similar to how we managed chickenpox before there was a vaccine.

Because kids are the most likely to ignore even simple ways of preventing infection. Then you get exponential growth via kids and the health system implodes.
Let's do some maths for my hypothetical EPYC 3:

1) DDR5 is about 2.5x the speed of DDR4: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15699/sk-hynix-ddr5-8400
2) Dual socket roughly doubles the bandwidth. Measurements are showing something like 300GB/s in practice: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14694/amd-rome-epyc-2nd-gen/6
3) AMD could add extra memory channels, a 50% increase is reasonable.

300GB/s x 1.5 for more channels x 2.5 for DDR5 = 1.1 TB/s.

Not too shabby! As you said, it would likely be eclipsed by the next-gen NVIDIA accelerator, but... damn, over a terabyte per second for general-purpose compute is just nuts.

In principle, AMD could go even higher if they really tried to optimise the platform for this one metric, but server CPUs tend to be "balanced", so I doubt this will happen. One can dream...
There's a lot, lot, lot more to it than simply saying that it's a DNA vs an RNA virus and that one categorically mutates faster than the other. The most relevant factor here is that COVID-19 only has a single strand of RNA, whereas e.g. influenza has 8. This allows a lot more mutation from pieces of RNA swapping around between different strands, which just can't happen on COVID-19. You can sort of think of it as analogous to sexual vs asexual reproduction; the former has a lot more potential for variation. Plus there's factors relating to the specific mechanism that coronaviruses use to attach to animal cells that make them less capable of mutating into any sort of a different shape that's still effective at all.

And I'm nothing close to an expert on any of this. But refer to sources, e.g.:

Question -- from what I understand, WSL2 is closer to Linux running in a VM, whereas WSL1 was like a Windows kernel level version of Cygwin. Is that mostly correct?

Regarding that, remember a number of years ago, prior to VMs there was a patch set for the Linux kernel porting it to user space -- so you could run Linux as a user process, which ended up functioning similar to running it in a VM. Would WSL2 be closer to this model, or is it really running Linux under a stripped down Hyper V?
Benchmarks have shown AMD outperforming this dedicated hardware through brute force. They simply have enough spare cores to run it faster in software.
