I'm happy to see Zig moving along. I've been using my extra spare time the last couple of weeks to play with it and it's been fun. Documentation is still sparse but there is a whole lot more of it both in general and on the stdlib (zig test cases code is still the best place to figure out the stdlib IMO). Some things just feel "right" without having to give up access to the memory; a good example being arbitrary width integers being used in packed structs to create file/network headers without having to manually bit-twiddle every 4 bit field. Cross compiling is really as easy as it says on the tin and the standard library isn't afraid to include things like net and unicode but at the same time doesn't feel like it tries to throw the kitchen sink in too.

Unfortunately it is still very much the 0.x the name implies. Taking the above example defining 2 u129 or larger and trying to multiply them results in an error while compiling about it not being supported yet. Packed struct items that cross word boundaries result in a broken struct that contains a size larger than the data (which breaks pretty much all code that tries to use it due to size/type checking). Also due to comptime being as big of an idea as it is not everything works quite yet like const example: f64 = std.math.sin(4) * std.math.sin(2) being a compile time error since sin isn't defined for comptime floats yet.

Like I said it's definitely fun to play with but it's still quite a few releases away from "is this a compiler bug or did the documentation skim over something I'm just supposed to know" no longer being a problem so if that's not your cup of tea best to just watch the release notes over the next year or two.
Not sure why I can't get my point across. It's simple really:

I am surprised that most commenters so far have completely missed the hilarious sarcasm in “some sort of united group of all the states”.
Have you been following the coverage? There are a lot of mixed messages (opening the economy by Easter, no I mean May, no I mean ASAP), lots of misinformation that contradicts the medical consensus (Trump pushing hydroxychloroquine as if he's the drug's spokesperson), a lot of half actions (Trump invokes Defense Production Act, but then refuses to use it), and blatant lies ("anyone who wants a test can get one"), multiple task forces being set up with vague responsibilities (first Pence, then Kushner).

The unwillingness to call for a nationwide lockdown is also a big one that has angered a lot of governors. And just today Trump tweeted that he has the authority to end lockdowns, which is a blatant lie.

So yeah, the response hasn't been great.
There was an article written up about ebay and how they paid 20 million$ per year for that first google slot for certain keywords.

Then some consultant came to Ebay and proved, without a doubt that the ads don't work. So, they created a test: they removed the 20 million $ worth of ads for that top slot and watched the traffic afterwards, it was pretty much unchanged! It's because All those people that clicked on those ads, were going to come to ebay anyways, despite the ads, not because of the ads.
What do you mean by outside travelers? do you mean people from other states, or from outside the country? If you mean from other states, then they are legally barred from doing that.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_movement_under_Unit...

States cannot discriminate against people from other states on the sole reason that they are from some other state.

Now... (I believe) they could use the National Guard to do wellness checks to make sure people don't have a fever, and potentially get them to quarantine, but it would have to be applied without regard to what state their license says. Though, the legality of forcing quarantine varies by state.
Well, we are a collection of people with our own independent thoughts and feelings on subjects, so it shouldn't be a surprise that some people feel the opposite of others are a variety of subjects.

Though, to be honest, I don't think I've heard #2. I think any rational person understands that advertising has some degree of effectiveness. After all, many bright minds from a variety of hard sciences have spent decades of their lives, and extraordinary sums of money studying human behavior for the explicit purpose of selling more shit. Many of the largest companies in the world are advertising companies; before Google and Facebook there was the TV and Radio giants, who were massive, in spite of pretty serious regulations.

None of this would have happened if advertising wasn't effective. At some point in time, people would have realized it didn't work and spent their money elsewhere.

There are two big issues that I see:

1) More views have driven down bids for ad views. The ad industry is largely driven by companies bidding for views, so without a large influx of cash, the spike in views was going to depress ad impression prices.

2) Consumers have less discretionary money to spend, even if they wanted to, so the ROI on each view/click is going down.

Each of those alone would be cause for concern, but combined, they do pose a significant issue for Google, Facebook, and smaller content creators.

So I'm reading https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wiwd.45522/..., which is the original complaint.

In it the democratic party asks:

> while allowing all ballots postmarked on or before election day but received within a minimum of 10 days thereafter to be counted

This states that a ballot postmarked before April 7 but received up until the 13th should be counted. The Supreme Court said this is fine.

The district court instead ordered that ballots postmarked before April 13th be counted. This is not the same as being postmarked before April 7 but received by the 13th.

The Supreme Court 'struck down' an order mandating that ballots postmarked after the 13th be counted. They did not strike down the order that said that ballots received after election day (but mailed on or before election day) be counted.
Can you cite where in the complaint you see the party asking for the court to order any ballot postmarked before the 13th (rather than the 7th) be counted?

EDIT: I'm not trying to be combative, I just want to understand where you're coming from, and I don't see what you claim is there in the original complaint you cited.

I'm in Oregon.

My first read: CTRL-F for "test" to see if there's any new statement on serological testing. Nothing.

This is all we want right now. This is the first priority, and whatever is second is somewhat distant.

Not having widespread serological testing to understand the prevalence in our communities really gives a feeling of being in a third-world country.

It's awesome that Drs. Bhattacharya and Bendavid have pushed the Stanford study forward (hopefully we have results this week). But seriously, there's no excuse for not having already done a round of random testing in every city, several times.
I have google pay on a couple different laptops, phones, and tablets and wouldn't want to re-enter details 10 times.

If you read the announcement:

> Ensuring an ability to care for those who may become sick with COVID-19 and other conditions. This will require adequate hospital surge capacity and supplies of personal protective equipment.

Delaying it is the point, it ensures we have enough hospital capacity and PPE to handle the inevitable burst of cases when reopening. This is what people mean when they say "flatten the curve". If we simply open whenever and aren't prepared we'll have a massive spike in cases that exceeds hospital capacity, vs the current situation where the case growth is slower and hospitals are less burdened.
Some historians go as early as 2020 and see the "Western States Pact" as the first establishing document for the Pacific Union and the beginning of the unraveling of the USA.

Exactly.

The architecture never had a good name. AMD originally called it "x86-64" (but not AFAIK "AMD64", even though lots of other people did), but "x86_64" is most common in the open source world (I guess because the underscore makes it legal as a C symbol). "x64" is what Sun and Microsoft decided to use. Intel has called it "ia32e", "EM64T" and "Intel 64" at various times.

I think this article gets a pass.
Any particular areas? The churn of law in the US is vast, ex: taxes.
How can this be legal? They changed the terms and conditions after you agreed to them and provided you no way to opt out of the change?
Governor Baker is a Republican and Trump is big on “loyalty” and deference. Since the pact is a way for the Governors to collectively let Trump know who will actually be “restarting” the states I would guess the short delay in Massachusetts joining was so Baker could sort out the politics ahead of time with DC.

Most problems aren’t special. They occur because some good general guidance wasn’t formed or applied.

Having a checklist does help masters. It helps make sure they don’t miss the obvious issue in front of their face.

After stumbling on Ben Eaters “Hello world from scratch” [1] I went out and bought the cpu some parts and breadboards. The chip is only a few dollars. It is highly recommended if you want to dive down into computers and digital logic on first principles. Also great fun to get a break from all the screens and layers upon layers of software that I have to deal with daily.

Although Ticketmaster offers a seemingly simple service, thousands of integrations with venues and the people who create events make them extremely difficult to unseat.

Congrats to the team.
I've been using Zig for about a month now for personal projects and it's been fun.

My experience is mostly in Go and Java and I've dabbled in C a couple of times, but I found Zig the language quite easy to understand.

Things I like the most about Zig (for now, I haven't tried everything):
* error handling
* optionals
* tagged unions
* meta programming
* zig fmt

The API documentation of the std lib is still sparse though, I find it's best to search directly in the code to understand how to use it.

Looking forward to try the async functionality.
Now tie this with computability theory. Almost all real numbers are uncomputable. It's obvious that they don't "exist" in any sense if by "exist" we mean "computable". Now consider that entropy, is information, is the measure of randomness, or uncomputability, is time. What is uncomputable, coming into existence, is the passage of time.
If "Time technically participating in an activity" directed overall skill that clearly, yes. Unfortunately there are plenty of 10 years exp devs with thousands of hours in their chair that also just aren't very good.

It's not legal for Ticketmaster to retroactively change their policy on old bookings. Unfortunately many other entities are misbehaving in a similar manner. (For example way.com is performing similar shenanigans by changing their policy on March 25th and then claiming that their new policy applies to all reservations after February 25th.)

Make sure to keep your rights in mind when companies misbehave:

1. You can submit a negative review online

2. You can file a credit card chargeback

3. You can submit a complaint to your attorney general

4. You can sue them in small claims court

Other key note: Do not accept gift cards or credit for future bookings. A refund by definition is cash and that credit will be worthless when those companies declare bankruptcy shortly.
Seems like a lot of work and bandwidth for something that could be simply addressed with “are you there?”
"State" in that context clearly refers to foreign nations (states) not states as in The United States Of America. Foreign power is distinct because it would refer to things like governments-in-exile or perhaps resistance groups.
I do this too, but sometimes its just too many tabs
Thank you for working so tirelessly on this, Andy! I’ve seen first hand the blood, sweat and tears you’ve put into Zig. I’m so happy to be able to support your dream, a dream that is really meant for making other people’s lives better! Keep on keeping on!
Of course not, but that doesn't mean the "analysis" used to derive the numbers the CMO presents justifies the claims.
Maybe. I mean, I would acknowledge that given post-9/11 deployments of National Guard troops to active combat zones, all you would need to do to mess up any planning would be to deploy those troops separately and randomly far away. Then it wouldn't matter if the governor called up the National Guard in self-defense and if they wanted to obey despite being federalized, because they wouldn't be in-theater. You'd have to raise fresh troops and train / arm them and by that point it'll already be far too late. Not to mention the firepower of existing federal garrisons in-state, complete air supremacy by federal air assets, and existing tensions between urban/rural areas preventing a retreat to the hinterlands. Whether these facts will change remains to be seen, but secession today is impractical.

I think the situation we're in right now is pretty much a "legal coup" by a motivated minority. It'll be a slog to get back to representative democracy.

I read "The Black Swan" by Nassim Taleb recently, and he mentioned how his home country of Lebanon went from diverse paradise to all-out civil war in six weeks, or 1.5 months. About the same time as "just a flu" to today.

For all our sakes, I hope to God I'm wrong and I hope to God you're right.
Having watched people deal with government benefits at all levels, I am not surprised that they don't trust that they will be covered. Even still, since when is potentially dying of an illness an intelligent trade off for a minimum wage job?

Pi is computable. What is computable, can be represented in finite information (the algorithm used to compute the number). Almost all real numbers are not computable.
It's essentially saying that the governors of these three states aren't going to follow what Trump orders them to do unless the medical professionals and the state emergency management teams give the go-ahead.

Trump has been downplaying the seriousness of the disaster since January. He contradicts the statements of his own staff in the same press conference as the staff speaks. He exuberantly proclaims the effectiveness of "treatments" that haven't been studied in any serious way. All this is to say that we can't trust any decision he makes.

Contrast this with the way the Western governors have handled this. Inslee was one of the first governors to announce any kind of Social Distancing rules. And he followed Illinois in issuing a statewide Stay Home order that is probably the most restrictive such order in the states. There's a lot of evidence on the Washington DOH website that this is working and the spread of the disease is under control.

The fact is that Trump's response is mostly to bury the problem and apply wishful thinking when he can't bury the problem. The governors in this union are taking a facts-based approach to solving the problem that has largely been successful. And so it's a really bad idea to do anything that Trump advises the country to do because he has a track record of making really bad decisions throughout this crisis.
You're comparing apples to oranges. Europe is comprised of sovereign states which can and actually have closed their borders. From my understanding, but correct me if I'm wrong, this would be a legal and political nightmare in the US right?

I'm pretty sure the point of the original was to net the creator a million dollars.
I may be wrong, but I think you missed OP's point. I took his tongue-in-cheek "If only we had some sort of united group of all the States" comment to mean if only we had a president who exercised his influence to encourage this type of coordinated response versus what he's done up to this point, which is nearly the opposite of coordinated.

Yeah, I watched Annie Liebowitz on "how to be a photographer". There was some discussion on moods and moments, which is fine.

Better coordination between the states helps reduce chaos at the borders between the states. If OR opens a week before WA the people living near the border will be in a weird limbo, especially if they need to cross the border for work etc.

Pathname expansion (i.e. globbing) can't even be used this way as POSIX requires matched names to be lexicographically sorted. That's the first thing that came to mind, before I remembered that brace expansion is a widely-supported extension not defined by POSIX.

Right on the nose.

Even when reopening is clearly the right thing to do nobody will want to personally take the fall. It's the reason the US has a high incarceration rate, nobody wants to be the one to release a ton of people from jail even if it's the right thing to do.
Other way around - the idea is to create an LLVM frontend for 6502 machine code, and then transpile that code to run on a modern CPU architecture.

It's actually not. We weren't remotely prepared for the pandemic which is laying waste to people and the economy. That's a complete failure of the modern economy.

Agreed, they're one of several "lightning rod" organizations. They exist to deflect hate, while everyone profits. Same thing with academic textbooks. Book publishers are lightning rods, allowing collages/departments/professors to avoid the reputation hit.

If you want to know who is responsible for a bad thing just answer one question: Who has the power to fix it? For example performers/venues could use a non-ticketmaster intermediary, and college professors/schools could assign a non-$300 textbook, but neither do because they gain substantially from the arrangement (either financially or in terms of free labor in the textbook example).

So if you "hate" ticketmaster or textbook publishers, you're playing right into their game and the problem will never be fixed. You have to pressure actual decision makers, not lightning rods.

It almost sounds like we three states are preparing for some kind of federal intervention in our politics if we continue social distancing after Trump orders our states to reopen.
another way to look at it that COVID has a R0 variously reported between 2 and 5. Taking the upper bound, if everyone reduced their pre-pandemic contact by 80% the virus will go into exponential decline.
> What if ending shelter in place fails.

98% of people who contract corona virus recover just fine, So lockdown is unnecessary.

The original reason for it was to not run out of ventilators, but we know now that ventilators have a mortality rate of 66% to 90%, so use a cannula instead as long as possible.

We should let corona run its course like every other flu year.

> What if a deadlier strain shows up?

Ebola is deadlier than corona. So's obesity.

But the flu we're dealing with is only about 2% fatal.

The states also have their own well-equipped militias (National Guard). The U.S. Army can't just roll in and occupy a state if the state does not want it to - they will have to wage a war. Not at all politically acceptable.
