Lots of gaming benchmarks out there, but sadly as of yet there is really no dedicated hardware reviews for the software engineering space.

Others have mentioned Phoronix (linux benchmarking) but I would also recommend Level1Techs. They are the only reviewers I've found that actually (occasionally) dig into what kind of performance actually matters to developers.

Recently, they did a video on using the Threadripper 3990X for Unreal Engine game development[0]. Some useful insights came out of that, such as:

- Compilers favor large cache sizes (which favors AMD)

- Usually the biggest performance bottleneck isn't compiling the code, but running automated tests (especially when it involves running a bunch of VMs).

It's not funny, it's just tired and repetitious, and HN discourages joking around anyway because it leads to low quality conversations and contests over who can be funnier instead of who can contribute the most meaningfully to a conversation.
Look at their fatality rate compared to other European countries. Also read the recent news about change of approach of Sweden and The Netherlands. Read about the current situation of the UK and go back in time an look at their initial response vs e.g. Germany. Compare the two. Lockdowns are saving lifes.

Well, the statistics are starting to show that if you're young and healthy, this is not much worse than the flu in terms of outcome. The hospitalization rate is also much lower than was reported earlier. Even just counting positive and confirmed test cases, this data is painting a pretty clear picture.

Here's the data out of new york city. You can see the chart showing hospitalizations and deaths per age. The trend is pretty biased towards old people. This makes me wonder if a more targeted response by the government would be better. The 2 trillion dollars might have been better spent.

Thank you for the link. I find things like this fascinating. I really wonder what life is like for the super-rich and politically connected. It must be a different world. I think the NYT piece does a fair job of not making unfounded and sensationalist claims, instead just pointing out connections.

I do wonder what went into Bloomberg not publishing it. This is what I bristle at: China being able to exert influence about what is and isn't published, what movies are and aren't made and so on.

It's even more problematic when China doesn't even need to exert that influence directly but instead rely on self-censorship from companies hoping to do business in China. Particularly news organization should never compromise themselves that way in the hopes of pleasing China (or at least not angering it). I hope Bloomberg didn't do this.
It is a way better way of learning the concept through practice, rather than having students memorize it for a multiple choice section on an exam, then forget it.
Any fundamental theory of the universe will have to posit a bottom, base structure that everything else is "made" out of...

...but therefore that base isn't ever going to be made of anything itself, by definition. It just is. It is what it's described as -- no more, no less.

It's not going to be material or energy. I suppose "information" is probably as good a word as any if you want to think of it that way.
Can’t you also pass data into components by using server side templating to fill in props on the component?

Sweden also has a fairly low population density outside its larger cities, as well as a relatively small (10M) population. And its measures aren't without criticism - consider they have 100 deaths per 1M people, which places them 10th on countries with over 1K cases.

There's states in the US with similar densities; I'd imagine those would be spared most of the deaths, even if stricter measures weren't implemented, but what about the coasts?

Honestly, the US, large and heterogenous as it is, should implement different measures per state. It's obvious to me that what works for some places may not work for others so well.

No one will hire a CEO who swan dives a company on a regular basis.

A "business" is a value generating construct. Either in raw profit potential, or in that it keeps work being done. Not seeing the counter-incentive.
Perhaps I am just dim, but I find your comment to be vague enough to be lacking meaning.

The principles of supply and demand are not vague at all, but they have limitations. They are necessary to understand economic behaviour, but rarely in the real world are they sufficient.

My fear is that 2-3 months of lockdown isn't a cure, it turns into on-and-off lockdown, herd immunity is never established because immunity wears off in 2 years, and a vaccine is 2-5 years out.

Ignoring the economics, preserving life takes on new meaning if you count a every locked down day as taking away an hour of life from someone. Take the Bay Area. At 7.7M people, every day, there are 11.7 lifespans wasted by lockdown. There have been 3.2 covid-19 deaths per day.
Give it time. They're still in full exponential growth, whereas every place that enacted social distancing rules a couple weeks ago or more is now plateauing.
This is true, but also unhelpful. We all make significant choices all the time that cannot be proved effective, these are heuristics and not scientific theorems.

The gist is that this is more like avoiding rock climbing because you don't want to fall to your death. It's not likely that you fall to your death rock climbing, but it is MUCH less likely if you never climb. But, you can't know the future, so you can only take actions that are either right or wrong in hindsight.

Hmm.

One of the traits of this virus that makes it so different from past potential epidemics is that it's able to spread rapidly through a population for up to two weeks before it starts becoming "visible" (symptoms start to arrive in large enough numbers to become alarming). At the tail end of those two weeks, the infection may have spread enough to become very difficult to control.

So, if we took some kind of middle road, and then two weeks later the virus exploded, would that change how you felt about the approach?

I'm still treating this question honestly, btw. I completely agree that it would be nice if such severe measures were unnecessary and the damage to people's livelihoods could start getting addressed. But, the problem that policy-makers are dealing with is that this isn't an infection that responds well to a "wait and see" approach; by the time you start to "see" and react, you could be in deep trouble.
My concern is that a lot of stand-up comedy is really "blue" and NSFW. Are there warnings or ratings for each set (I don't see any).

> I think it should mostly include things that physically alter or arrest man's body or property.

Ah, yes, this makes significantly more sense.

> Maybe I mean "violate natural rights" rather than "coerce".

Well, "coerce" obviously has a "or threaten to do so" and a "in order to cause or prevent certain behaviour" tacked onto it's definition, but "violate natural rights" otherwise seems like a plausible definition in and of itself; the question that immediately follows being what qualifies as a natural right. Absence of unprovoked physical violence certainly sounds like it would be included in that, but short of contrived and circular definitions of "violence" and "physical", it isn't really sufficient.
Sweden has by far the highest number of cases/deaths with respect to neighboring countries. Finland has 1/10th of the number of deaths per capita [0]. They are also faring much worse than Denmark and Norway (in terms of both cases and deaths) where much stricter measures are enforced.

Sorry, but what's your expertise in what real public health plans look like? And why are you criticizing a slide deck as if it were a carefully considered public health plan?

If you want to talk about what you'd like to see, great. We all want things, and communications can always be better. But I don't understand why you're treating your preferences as overriding, especially when you don't even know who the author is. (Hint: it's not a he.)

A Pascal array is just ones and zeros that behave like an array. So is a Fortran array.

> You can't index element two of std::array foo as 1[foo] since it isn't an actual C array.

That's just a silly quirk of C syntax that is deliberately not modeled in C++ operator overloading. It's not a real capability; it doesn't make arrays "do" anything new, so it' hard to call it an array behavior. It's a compiler behavior, that's for sure.

It could easily be added to C++, similarly to the way preincrement and postincrement are represented (which allows that obj++ and ++obj to be separate overloads).

T &array_class::operator [] (int index) {
// handles array[42]
}

T &array_class::operator [] (int index, int) { // Fictional!!
// handles 42[array]
}

The dummy extra int parameter would mean "this overload of operator [] implements the flipped case, when the object is between the [ ] and the index is on the left".

C++ could easily have this; the technical barrier is almost nonexistent. (I wonder what the minimal diff against GNU C++ would be to get it going.)

I suspect that it's explicitly unwanted.
Continuously changing story = BS.

There is a cap on what you can resell the house for, so this is not a way to get rich in real estate.

It's interesting how many commenters seem to think that renders this model ineffective.

"If nobody can get rich in this game, nobody should play" is an odd way to look at this program, which is about helping renters graduate to home ownership while protecting their community from speculative capital.
There's no basis for your fear that immunity would wear off in two years. Unlike the cold and the flu, these coronavirus strains do not mutate quickly enough to cause quick loss of immunity. It seems more akin to chickenpox, which you can only catch once (and shingles doesn't count).

So, take heart in this at least?

I'm just as confused. It's prompted another strong reaction in you but I genuinely don't get why. I don't know what motives you think I have, or why I might be arguing in bad faith, or why you're talking about trolls and turds (?).

Why is it so wrong to ask 'are we sure we're going the right way - this way seems to have a lot of problems - are we sure the other way has more?' Some people literally kill themselves when they become unemployed. We have millions of new unemployed people.

You say it's not forbidden but you're comparing me to a turd for doing it. Why does it cause people to abuse me?

Perhaps. However, Trump's using the WHO as scapegoat for his grievous mishandling of the situation - starting in 2018 - is beyond unscrupulous.

Yup & Intel got dinged ~2 billion for it last time AMD jumped ahead with Athlon vs P4. It took 5 years for AMD to recoup that money during which time Intel used it to retool & revamp their processor line with Core. The problem is that 2 billion is probably peanuts vs the kind of market share gains AMD should have rightfully had.
I hope they update the Language Server Protocol to use UTF-8 then! Nearly every language supports UTF-8 well, which is not so for UTF-16
Those types should not be optional. CHAR_BIT needs to be 8. It is clearly possible to implement the types even on a 6502 or Alpha. From the early days of pre-ANSI C, the language supported types for which the hardware did not have appropriate word sizes. There was a 32-bit long on the 16-bit PDP-11 hardware.

I would go beyond that, requiring all sizes that are a multiple of 8 bits from 8-bit through 512-bit. This better supports cryptographic keys and vector registers.
Yes, serverside rendering is generally more performant than a decoupled client/server-side approach. If server-side rendering is a requirement of the project I'd look into nuxt.js + vue

I was commenting more generally on the approach to building a web app with Django and including external js libraries in Django templates, which I've done in the past as project requirements have changed over time. After including external js libraries to Django templates, there is a lot less support in terms of resources and supporting libraries such as testing frameworks. If the client-side project is initialized with Vue, the project can benefit from the overwhelming amount of supporting resources.
I don't think their behavior is redeemable, given they continue to lie.

After all, the WHO Director-General claimed within the last week without a shred of evidence that he was subject to racist and derogatory attacks from Taiwan's leaders.

This is after WHO threw Taiwan under the bus and denied them access to critical health information on the express orders from China.

The entire organization is corrupt. Blindly repeating CCP propaganda and punishing China's enemies is not the sign of a healthy organization.

Their recommendations were, at times, completely false.

I am really excited about the ultrawideband implementation! The technology has been around for a few years now but the interface is quite complex and is hard to get up and running.

The actual ultrawideband devices (decawave) are available on digikey for $10-20 each so if a good open source implementation exists, that would be very exciting for hobby robotic makers.
Not quite at that level, but rust does have OsStrings (managed the same way as the OS, often but not always utf8), and CStrings (basically just byte buffers - just like c likes). There are special rules around inclusion of nulls and null terminators. It'll give the benefits of the behaviour you mentioned - not allowing an invalid string type for a function call.

The sqlx crate for rust also has a macro called query!, which (at compile time) validates the SQL and created a value of type "record". Similar idea there, since you'll get early exceptions thrown by the compiler if you write sql with errors in it.
Unfortunately if your measuring wealth in something intangible that is usually a sign your getting screwed over. If I give away all my money to random people on the street I might have gained social capital but my tangible wealth is gone.
