Abstractions in software are just that: we write a piece of code to do what we want to do and then we only supply parameters. Once we want to change what we are doing, we either have to go back to basics and come back with a new piece of code or somehow piggyback the existing code to fit the new scenario. The problem is that after we've written the first piece of code, we consider the thing solved. The first piece + parameters becomes the way of doing things and we are very reluctant to go back to basics again. So we start to pile up abstractions. But we don't have to. We can totally go back to basics and reduce the number of abstractions.

We cannot overcome the inherent complexity of the task (The Law of Requisite Variety) but it's not this complexity that bites us: it's the complexity of added abstractions.
But they're also configurable via various config registers, and can be set to not touch RAM, as most early-boot firmware uses.

Just like what you normally use with a Hyper-V VM. A resizable VHD which grows but not shrinks, and with a size limit. Heck they even have a document on what to do when you exceed the default 256GB limit: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-ux-changes...
All of the performance wins you’re referencing come from vectorization, you typically can’t vectorize OS code since it isn’t ALU bound, which makes your point moot.

My two cents on recommendations for the highly assertive... Rephrasing as questions is risky and may come off as passive aggressive criticism which will erode trust. Aiming for balance and avoiding generalization seem like better approaches.

Also, for the non-assertive I recommend making it clear that you actually care because that will help to distinguish you from coworkers that aren't participating due to a lack of interest.

You're conflating short-term renting with long-term renting.

There is a vast difference between a hotel guest or AirBnB renter, who will only be staying a few days or a couple of weeks at most, and someone who rents an apartment/house for years and is part of the local community.

There are also cultural and personal differences, because neither I nor any of my friends would ever trash a short-term rental, whether it was an apartment, hotel room or a car.

However I also know people who don't even give a damn about their own things, they trash everything they touch, it is absolutely not some universal trait in renters.

Overall, the less egotistical a culture is, the better short-term renting, tool sharing and similar programs work.

For the electricity grid in today's world, that's over-engineering things. The 60Hz electricity grid doesn't really need anything being changed at more than 600Hz, and considering your CPU core runs at 3,000,000,000Hz, you can totally waste a lot of cycles before you start missing deadlines.

> Why does the organisation email trump my personal one that I actually created the account with?

Because the organization a) pays them money, and b) demands this. Enterprise offerings like SSO tend to support the legal and pseudo-legal aspect of the security theatre of enterprise space. So if you connect a company e-mail to your personal account, that account suddenly falls under whatever random policies organization's IT team implemented.
IANA C/C++/ASM expert, but one thing I've been thinking of would greatly benefit from type-punning (overlaying 2 kinds of data and interpreting one as the other) because it can use a 64-bit register to parallelise 4 ops at once where speed really, really matters.

That's trivial in ASM I believe, but don't know how well it's possible in C/C++, if at all.

What little is actually "made" in the US is almost entirely assembled from raw components that are themselves manufactured outside the US.

I'm a firm believer that good code should be consistent in its style, but that consistency should not prevent the programmer from communicating intent via subjective style choices.

I'm OK with following someone else's (be it an individual code owner or a team's) style rules even when I strongly disagree with them (my personal style opinions have even changed on occasion because of this).

I find code linting really useful (and even critical) to make the above two statements work well in practice.

Having said this, "black" makes me not care about the code I write. It makes me feel like I'm serving under a robotic dictator whose sole purpose is purging any trace of subjective readability in the name of consistency. This makes my code worse in ways well beyond style issues. It makes me want to abandon professional programming in python altogether.

Just to make it absolutely clear: I'm not talking about it's style choices, just how inflexible and inhuman it is. It's style choices would be another discussion.

And no, littering code with comments preventing it from reformatting specific sections of code isn't the solution.

Potential misleading visualization warning:

There's an apparent (and significant) drop-off in the number of daily lab-confirmed cases for the most recent few days (i.e. 2020-04-09 onwards as the graph appears today).

This is due to delays receiving lab test results.

From the 'About the data'[1] page:

"Each day new cases are reported, but the dates from which they originate cover the previous few days. Hence there are few cases reported for the most recent date on the chart, but this does not mean the epidemic is tailing off – the cases for any day will build over the next few days."

It could be possible to use a different colour for days on the chart which are considered 'complete' in terms of data -- or simply omit the most recent days if that's not possible.

It's an article about the author's personal investigation of the story of the wolves and, more generally, the history of his family and the Holocaust. That doesn't mean that the aim of the article is to to settle the question of whether the wolves exist or not. You're confusing the purpose of the author in his journey to Ukraine with the purpose of the article itself.

Think about a detective story. It's the story of a detective who's trying to solve a case. That doesn't necessarily mean that the story ends with every loose end tied up and certainty as to who committed the crime. (Of course, that is what typically happens in a classic detective story, but it's not necessary.)

In the particular case of the wolves, it's obviously difficult to draw any firm conclusions about whether they were there or not, as the article explains. ("Which brings me back to the place where I began and the question that has no answer: What to believe when you can’t be sure whether a supposed fact is true or not true?")

> The China "results" were actually biased, so Taiwan was right to ask verification, but that's only retrospectively. At the time, there was no such certainty of their wrongdoing, especially given that they also collaborated by other means.

The reason you didn't find much is that the WHO refused to pass on Taiwan's warning.

Taiwanese doctors had direct emails from multiple colleagues in Wuhan, some of whom were punished by the local government for speaking. Doctors getting sick with the virus was direct evidence of human to human transmission.

Keep in mind that China also covered up and denied the existence of SARS for months. The WHO's decision to aid in suppressing the information of the epidemic has cost the entire globe countless lives and economic damage. What is it that so motivates you to defend them that you comment 20 times in this thread?

FWIW, I've followed the news this time and during SARS from the start, from local media in Taiwan and been deeply disappointed with the WHO and early international reporting both times.
No, my argument is that statements like this -

"If someone is truly desperate for food, they will find a way to get the money to pay for it."

Are both massively ignorant and quite sickening, and that if you aren't reacting at least a little bit to that sort of statement too, you may have a serious lack of empathy.

Anyway, good luck in life, I have no interest in carrying on a conversation on this matter any further. If you're not seeing it you're not seeing it, I just hope you never get anywhere you can make policy.

I've seen so many such events unfold under my own eyes in real time. But thinking back on my stories about them and the stories of others that were there... if it wasn't filmed it was probably 80% more "docile" than described.

And I'm not talking just campfire stories for the friends and family. Superiors would constantly bolster the official account of the events because that was a "medal" on all of our chests, whether we were there or not.

Funnily enough hearing stories from the "other side", again about events that unfolded under my own eyes, left the exact same impression about them. It wasn't just a matter of perspective. If I didn't know better I could swear Rambo started off based on some of my stories...

> The WHO did not make the problem worse, because their statement just said that no human-human link was found yet

Not true. Taiwan had already warned them of human to human transmission in December. The WHO's failure to report it has cost the world many lives and a great deal of suffering: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2020/03/25/2...
I’ve participated in Homeland Security pandemic exercises. One in particular had a R0 of about 2, and a death rate of 1.3%, with a hospitalization rate of 10%, and and acute care rate of 3%. All numbers lower than CoVID-19.

What happened in the exercise was that all hospitals got over run, very quickly, it took months for the infection rates to flatten.

Nobody could get into a hospital and get any proper care, entire families started dying, the death rate jumped up to almost 12%. Remember the calculated death rate is based on proper care. Police, Fire, EMS, got hit hard and they all walked off the job.

Nursing homes, assisted living facilities had death rates of almost 75%, (we’re starting to see 50% now).

Hospital workers started walking off the job. The economy didn’t slow down the economy flew into the ground at 500mph and exploded in billions of tiny pieces. The country went into immediate shortages of everything, which didn’t really matter because basically everyone stopped going to work.

When you might get sick and you know you can’t get care and without care you have a 12 in 100 chance of dying you can’t get people to leave their house, for any reason. People start dying home alone.

The death rate gets even higher because of food shortages, prescription drug shortages, and underlying health conditions fuel the fire. Power disruptions, water, sewage issue because no one is working. Crime becomes a problem, because a) the police aren’t working and b) people get desperate.

Once things start to unravel you can’t simply re-ravel things.

In a normal flu season about 40 Million people get infected, with 30-67K dead a year spread out over 6 months.

If we respond to COVID-19 like we do with the flu, we could see 150-200 million infected because it spreads more easily, those numbers would overwhelm the country, maybe have 20-35 Million dead, the economy might stop for a year or two, or three or four.

We don’t know if infection confers immunity, what happens if it doesn’t? What if getting it makes you more susceptible to a second and worse infection? What if we can’t develop a vaccine?

You’ll be gambling with a lot of lives.
