And this works because I have `using namespace std;` in the test, which makes all of the Standard Library's "user"-defined literals available. So does `using namespace std::literals;` (without dragging in other names). There's also the extremely fine-grained `using namespace std::chrono_literals;` (no need to type `using namespace std::literals::chrono_literals;` due to how inline namespaces work) which drags in just the chrono duration literals. Finally, `using namespace std::chrono;` drags in all of the chrono names and the chrono literals.

The reason that a using-directive of some kind is necessary is that UDLs are provided by operators, and directly spelling out the operator in order to namespace-qualify it would be self-defeating. (Many people dislike `using namespace std;` and I understand their point, but when one works on the STL all day every day, this using-directive is sure nice for test code.)

My exhaustive test case for this is (demonstrating all the different ways that chrono literals can be accessed): https://github.com/microsoft/STL/blob/31419650d472932dd24b9c...
I don't think it's intentionally misleading, but it is disappointing, how even the 'beat' reporters on this issue of intense international interest don't ask about, or highlight, the open questions, like:

* were these PCR tests (of active viral RNA presence) or antibody tests (of past infection). It's probably the former, meaning 600 cases is a floor, maybe a low floor, on the total number of infected plus recovered.

* the timeframes of testing, & to what extent testing-windows overlap all those who earlier reported symptoms/concern – & any followup to see who was merely pre-symptomatic.

* the total impact on the crew in terms of deaths and serious cases. (Mentioning 1 recent death and 5 current hospitalizations doesn't reveal how many total hospitalizations, or serious ICU/ventilator cases.)

Maybe some of this is because the Navy is holding back details (possibly for legitimate operational reasons). Maybe these wire reporters are stuck rewriting limited primary material released as someone else's press-release or transcript. But it's frustrating when the obvious next questions haven't even been asked or acknowledged.

It's not a direct measurement. If you put 100 mL of water into a cup, it will raise the water level of the cup by some number of cm. You can calculate this based on the topography of the cup.

Similarly, we can calculate the volume of 600 btons of ice when turned into water, and we know the surface area the oceans, so we can calculate the ocean level rise of inserting 600 btons of ice worth of water into the oceans.

In addition, they do do direct measurements of ocean level. You can learn more about one way these measurements are performed here[1]. That direct measurement tells us the real rise each year. That in combination with the calculated measurement I describe above allows the scientists to conclude that the loss of ice mass in Greenland contributed about 40% of the total sea level rise in 2019.

In the sense that your backups are a surviving copy of your data, sure.

That said, an argument such as "system is down while we restore from backup; some recent data may be lost" will not go over as well as "the system remains available, but performance will be negatively impacted while the array rebuilds; no data has been lost at this time".

In the former, you're in crisis mode. In the latter, you'll probably be under some stress, but you're still in the clear.

Edit: But we're all on the same page when it comes to backups. They're a necessity.

After comparing the outputs of the old and new algorithms, I believe that a needle needs more than two repeats in order to trigger the bug. That is, "aa" and "abab" don't trigger the bug, but "aaa" and "ababa" do, the last one having a partial third repeat (needle "ababa" with haystack "WXYZababa" was definitely wrong). I tested the table output for "aa" for completeness (and just in case we manage to damage it in the future).

Disclaimer: I don't understand the algorithms deeply enough to write them from scratch, and I'm writing this at 6 AM.
Is it just me, or does all garbage collector development seem to go through an endless loop of:

* We've optimised this release for throughput

* We've optimised this release for latency

* We've optimised this release for minimising memory usage

...and each release causes a regression in the stuff they weren't optimising for, leading to another future release picking one of the other three targets.

Java and Go seem to have gone round this cycle more than once...

In the U.S., the Supreme Court decided[1] in 2018 that the government couldn't access cell location data without a warrant. However, they made an exception for public safety:

> Such exigencies include the need to pursue a fleeing suspect, protect individuals who are threatened with imminent harm or prevent the imminent destruction of evidence.

Fighting a pandemic arguably falls into this category, since an awful lot of people are threatened with imminent harm. So we already have a constitutional standard for rolling back pandemic-related surveillance measures.

Also, something this article overlooks about the Apple/Google system is that it does a pretty good job of protecting user privacy. Contacts are discovered by direct bluetooth contact, and central servers don't get any information from people except that they tested positive.[2][3]

The core issue around powergrids is that the PLCs in use have little to no security (many cases too old to have an real security).

Further in SCADA Safety takes precedence over security. If you need to hit the SCRAM button on a nuclear reactor, you can't have a cumbersome authentication procedure.

So NIST has a set of guidlines for security which generally boil down to physical security and DMZs. Anything that needs remote connection has to have its rx pins cut (for older devices).

It's not as bad as advertised, but security is defensibly taking a back seat.

If you're really curious, give NIST.SP.800-82r2 a read.
Show HN: Chrome extension that notifies you when new technology products launch
Strongly agree with the original article, and it's fun to see all the niche use cases that people are mentioning here.

But I have a major frustration with user scripts: writing them requires experience with Javascript and reverse engineering websites. This is fine for the HN crowd, but locks out most web users, who can't program at all.

I bet that if it were slightly easier to develop user scripts, there'd be 10x as many of them. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's helped a coworker write a bookmarklet / user script essential for their workplace sanity.

Would be curious what people's experiences have been helping nontechnical people extend websites, or if you know of tools in this area.

My current attempt at this is a project called Wildcard, which requires a programmer to write some site-specific scraping code, but then shows the scraped data to the end user in a spreadsheet and lets them decide what to do with it:

SCO Cloud though is quite the character. Apparently they are part of some group that has been trying to sue the Linux kernel for the last 20 years, until the case was put to rest in 2017 I think [3].

This is a misprint. They meant to say 0.99 or 99%, not .99%

That means it's very reliable that any positive signal originates from covid19 antibodies, instead of from something else.

That does not mean that it's 99% accurate with regards to sensitivity.

tl;dr the T2K collaboration published a paper in Nature [0] describing a 1/1000 certatinty that neutrinos and antineutrinos oscillate in 'identity' at a different rate. 'Oscillate identity' means they fluctuate between three types of neutrino with differing mass. They've come to this conclusion by analyzing the data from the Tokai J-PARC neutrino detector, which measures artificial neutrinos and antineutrinos alternately. The authors note that this doesn't satisfy their preferred p value (6E-6) nor would it account enough to destroy enough big bang antimatter to spare the existing matter. But, it is a promising asymmetry that gives hope for discovering more.

I may be making the mistake of jumping in with a comment before reading the complete article but, on the description of the experiment setup from the start:

They want to generate a workload that’s as realistic as possible, but without spending a lot of CPU time on the actual application, in order to isolate the performance of the allocator. I’m not convinced that their simulated application is actually realistic, though. Why not just record the allocations performed by a real application, and replay them?

It’s also not clear if the application code can be entirely separated from the allocator, as they’ll battle over cache space. An allocator with lower peak performance but smaller code might work better in a real world situation, purely because it pushes less of the application code out of cache.

From the project description:

- Bridge between JVM objects and Python objects easily; use Python in your Java and use some Java in your Python.

- Python objects are linked to the JVM GC such that when they are no longer reachable from the JVM their references are released. Scope based resource contexts are also available.

- Finding the python libraries is done dynamically allowing one system to run on multiple versions of python.

- REPL oriented design means fast, smooth, iterative development.
So the last time I tried to make an extension (I believe in chrome) for an application I work on, I could not access data stored in the global object - I was trying to make data available to the extension to do more with and show like debug information.
