This is assuming best case e.g. no issues in the tcp connection with HTTP/2

> With HTTP/2, any interruption (packet loss) in the TCP connection blocks all streams (Head of line blocking). Because HTTP/3 is UDP-based, if a packet gets dropped that only interrupts that one stream, not all of them.

So while HTTP/3 on a perfect network might be a 1 - 4% slower it's more stable/reliable in that any packet loss won't cause a dramatic drop off in performance... so 1-4% in best case network conditions but in real world network conditions http/3 should~ be much better...
Didn't think about that. Looking at figures it's less than 6/week killed in traffic, while all deaths is 1700/week, so it's unlikely to make a dent. Easter is probably one of the worst traffic weeks, but even then it's probably not enough for a difference.
There's something else, performance aside, that's really exciting about HTTP/3: Fixing a decades old layering violation that has made truly mobile internet impossible.

In TCP, a connection is uniquely identified by the following tuple:

(src ip, src port, dst ip, dst port)

The issue is that we depend not only on layer 4 details (port numbers) but also on layer 3 information (IP addresses). This means we can not ever keep a connection alive when moving from one network and hence IP address into another.

We can do some trickery to let people keep their addresses while inside of a network, but switch from mobile data to wifi and every TCP connection drops.

This is easy enough to solve, in theory. Give every connection an unique ID, and then remember the last address you received a packet for that connection from, ideally in the kernel. This makes IP addresses completely transparent to applications, just like MAC addresses are. However, the tuple is assumed almost everywhere and NAT makes new layer 4 protocols impossible. Unless you layer them over UDP. And this is exactly what Wireguard, QUIC, mosh and others do. Once it's ubiquitous, you'll be able to start an upload or download at home, hop on your bike, ride to the office, and finish it without the connection dropping once.
It's interesting that you feared dying. I'm afraid of others I know dying, but if I were to die then I wouldn't know it, so I'm not necessarily afraid of dying (because from my perspective there's no difference between dying and going to sleep every night). I am afraid of pain or being permanently maimed however. If I were to be heavily sedated and intubated I'd be experiencing the same series of events that would happen if I were to recover from the ailment the next week. It's possible to die in my sleep but

I know plenty of people whose mental health was damaged in the office by spending all day with people who don't care about each other. In the best case, they'll be cordial and professional. The worse cases are much worse. And they'll forget about you the minute you leave the company.

Personally, I'd prefer to spend my day at home and go out to meet actual friends and family after work.

Modern office work is not the default state of humanity, let's not pretend otherwise. I bet a lot of people would be happier with a modern version of farming their own land and spending time with friends and family.
This is really the only thing that I really want from C++. It would be amazing if this could make the cut for a future spec.

Hemingway, Hounded by the Feds
The US government is generally hyper-conservative in the financial space of what the Fed directly controls for myriad reasons. The bank of computers that reconcile transactions between banks still shuts down on the weekends because the law around its operation is based on the old law where human clerks were doing the reconciliation.

The cost if it doesn't work out is damage to the trust in the system and the stability of the dollar in general, which is the thing the Fed pathologically seeks to avoid.

And as the country that can mint the currency the IMF designates other countries' international debts in, the US doesn't generally see itself in need of further strengthening the USD's position in the world.

(Interestingly, when I lay it all out like that and add it up, the US monetary policy looks like a big business's bureaucratic system, the kind that'd be ripe for disruption by a startup. Of course, it's not quite so simple when we're talking nation-states and not Silicon Valley ventures).
That seems a bit semantic given that even cartel run Favellas quarantined and they are money over life. It is a bit "I didn't murder the person I kidnapped, they committed suicide." Technically true but the responsibility is the same as if they had.

My comment was made in direct reference to a previous comment. Claiming that I "made it up" when you can very clearly click parent and see that indeed a parent comment fitting the description given by mine exists is not precise and confuses the point. Your screed and this entire comment thread isn't even remotely related to the article anymore, which means that it is off track.

I have found that working from home is great, right now. During normal times, though, I could not really handle doing it for more than a couple days a week.

I suspect the reason is that my wife and kids are at home right now. So I can close the door and they will leave me alone, but I still have a sense of them being around. So I am comfortable. But during normal times, the kids would be at school all day and my wife would be at her office. So then the house would be empty except for me, and then I get a little stir crazy after a couple days.

We will find out eventually, when offices reopen. I am secretly hoping that I will be able to continue working from home while maintaining my sanity.

>>[2136 book idea]....a world in which 80 percent of the population has been wiped out by climate change, but also a world where characters time-travel to create an alternate past in which Clinton won the election.

If I was time-traveling back from the far future, I feel like the more relevant inflection point would have been to drop in on the year 2000 and create a past where Gore wins the election.

Not only would that be a more impactful long-term change that would likely have prevented the systemic failures that elevated Trump in the first place, but it would probably be easier to enact. You just need to park a handful of people outside a handful of voting precincts to say "Hey, just so you know this ballot is really badly designed. . ."

No first Black president, though. So we'd have to deal with that.
There is no "taking a stance". There are two line endings being talked about here, with carriage returns and without. Why are you so desperate to change the goal posts? This change log is hundreds of lines long, you think ignoring carriage returns is a big deal?

Why would it matter for tools? Have the tools run zigfmt. Why make users build a script to compile a hello world program? Does zig only allow a single space between tokens?

Again you are trying anything you can think of to justify a ridiculous choice because you want to defend zig as a whole. Nothing ads up here.

I never said anything about that. I have only talked about the compiler erroring out on carriage returns as an intentional design choice.

What language do you use? My experience in Scala is that tests can be replaced with types in a number of cases (but not all!) In these cases it is often not worth implementing a test, IMO.

Depending on the code it is possible to construct the types in such a way that an incorrect implementation is very hard. This requires a modern type system and the knowledge to use it effectively. Type systems like in Java and Go are not up the task for the most part.

Huh. I know a lot of people who did almost none of this and freelanced their way into successful businesses. Why is having an accountant necessary? Where I live, even simple books from the office supply store and basic tax software will tell you what you need to know as a beginner. Personally I operated my business just fine for 15 years without an accountant.

Drawing up a contract, similar, but here I would certainly mention that you can also consult a professional if needed, like a business consultant or attorney. You can also write a letter contract and communicate well enough that contracts don't matter that much in the end, which is the case for a lot of freelancers, guessing the majority.

Knowing what skill has high demand is less important than finding a team or business that likes you and needs you. If you are in tech, someone probably needs your help. Many times they will find a way for you to stick around anyway, if it's a good psychological complement.

If no one can pay you for three months worth of money, you get to decide how long you hang in there. Personally I found a veteran graphic designer who was excited to work together and started sending work immediately. Within 3 years of that I was turning down more work than I was accepting. But there was never any promise of income.

Setting aside 50% would have been impossible due to medical bills at the time. I was lucky to have free rent via the in-laws and a wife who was working as well. Still, when freelancing picked up the problem quickly became burnout and setting boundaries. This has been the same with many of my peers. Many of us went through 2008 and even the dot com crash together. Demand was never really a problem except at the very start, but the perception of an urgent need to hustle for every last client can easily break you.
In Germany you cannot enter most groceries stores without a shopping cart. It did not used to be that way, they made shopping carts mandatory to stop covid.
Panic buying is definitionally price insensitivity. You can also look at people like preppers, who consider hoarding a positive virtue. Despite a spike in demand, they won't be arbitraging. These are common human behaviors in a crisis.

> but not before anybody can start manufacturing more PPE

I think you really aren't coming to grips with how people think and behave differently in crises. Possibly having more PPE in a few months is only valuable for reducing hoarding and profiteering now to the extent that people are confident that will happen.

> What allocation process are you proposing that would avoid things like that happening?

Letting local and state public health officials allocate scarce medical supplies is the obvious start. Point-of-sale purchase controls are another one that's easy to implement. In the long term, transparent rationing where needed. Fining, arresting, and imprisoning disaster profiteers are all excellent options when it's severe.

I mean by that logic, Assembly could be deem even simpler, yet writing OR reading programs in Assembly is absolutely not simple at all.

At the end of day, one has to write programs that solve (complicated) problems, and learning how to do that in C is difficult, thus the learning curve deemed higher when it comes to writing professional C.

I can guarantee you that writing professional Go or Java and writing correct programs in both takes way less effort than with C, for use cases that would make Go or Java viable.

Lots of "Sirs", "Ladies" and "Baronesses" on the board of directors, as you can see below.

From the Wikipedia page:

Pearson PLC held a 50% shareholding via The Financial Times Limited until August 2015; at that time Pearson sold their share in the Economist. The Agnelli family's Exor paid £287m to raise their stake from 4.7% to 43.4%, while the Economist paid £182m for the balance of 5.04m shares which will be distributed to current shareholders.[2] Aside from the Agnelli family, smaller shareholders in the company include Cadbury, Rothschild (21%), Schroder, Layton and other family interests as well as a number of staff and former staff shareholders.[2][3]

The current members of the board of directors of The Economist Group are: Rupert Pennant-Rea (Chairman), Zanny Minton Beddoes (editor-in-chief of The Economist), Lady Suzanne Heywood, Brent Hoberman, Sir David Bell, John Elkann, Alex Karp, Sir Simon Robertson, Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Chris Stibbs and Baroness Jowell.[12]

I worked in downtown Boston for a bit over a year. Taking the train in was better than driving assuming I was going in and out during commuting hours when trains were fairly frequent. But it was still driving 10 minutes to catch a 6:30AM train and taking 90 minutes to get to my office including a short walk. 4 hours of commuting, even if very little of it was driving, was not something I could have sustained longer term even given that I traveled or worked from home a decent chunk of the time.

The article is talking about cryptocurrencies in terms of adoption, not philosophy. By the metric of the article, if everyone adopts crypto because it makes it easier for them to trade in values pegged to fiat-backed dollars, that's still a win.

Compare and contrast open source's relative success vs. whether the Four Fundamental Freedoms / GPL model itself actually succeeded.

I haven't seen a metric by which BTC is considered a "killer app" (in any space other than "How can I buy things / conduct transactions my local government forbids or tightly regulates," and even that use case is falling by the wayside as the tools for LEO to datamine the blockchain for webs of criminal transaction activity have caught up...), and it's been around long enough that I think we can generally flag the BTC experiment specifically as "tried, found wanting." In this current global pandemic crisis, you'd think trust in central governments would be at an all-time low and people would be shifting their resources into BTC, and that doesn't appear to be happening at any grand scale.
Well, while I don’t disagree that the current “Whatever it takes” influx of money helps with propping up the market right now there’s nothing that inherently prevents the economy from growing again once the immediate crisis is behind us.

Make no mistake, there will be huge shifts and upheavals, regarding the ways we work and buy stuff for example.

Many of today’s incumbents might not exist anymore in two years’ time but there’ll be others to take their place.
I'm surprised this surprises you!

This has all been pretty sudden and taken everyone by surprise, I think. And every sort of business is struggling with this sort of thing. A lot of folks who aren't used to working from home are being thrown into this new way of doing things. Not to mention schools closing so kids are home, spouses working from home too, and a slew of other things they now have to worry about during the day.

I highly doubt these stations have a storage room filled with unused gear just for moments like these. And certainly not enough that they can send out a full, high-quality kit to every single one of their on-air people. This type of equipment can get very expensive, so it likely just doesn't make any sense. And now I'm sure there's been a sudden run on equipment making it harder to get.
>An important point the article didn’t address is that high prices direct resources to more important uses.

I think it's important to recognize in this case that "important" is being passed off as the same as "ability to pay."

>Outlawing price gauging alone just ensures masks go to people who don’t need them as much as doctors. Price ceilings don’t force masks to go to doctors.

This is such a non-sequitur, it almost feels disingenuous. If you remove controls, you're just going to guarantee that the masks go to the people with the highest ability to pay. And that may or may not be doctors and medical personal. In fact, I don't see any evidence anywhere that it would actually lead to more medical personal actually getting these supplies at all.
Thanks for pointing out Disney owns most of it. I honestly had no idea I shouldn't be taking National Geographic seriously anymore.
It isn't really 100% of 0.6%... copyright isn't based on byte-count. You may or may not be able to get a straight answer about what it is based on out of the literature, but it's certainly much closer to the human experience rather than the raw byte count. In legal terms, it's basically 100% of 100% of the article being republished. (I'd say it's 100% of 100% if the header image had been included.) Nobody showed up to that page for the 4MB of other stuff, minus the aforementioned header image. Strengthening the case for infringement is that monetary damages are also being experienced, because what is mostly being stripped is the revenue generation portion of the performance of the work.

Basically, if you take the four criteria for something being fair use [1] in the US, which isn't the end-all, be-all of analysis but is a darned good start, this absolutely faceplants on all four. (And while it is technically up to the discretion of the judge, I'd say it's closer to an "AND" than an "OR" on the 4 criteria. You really, really don't want to be standing in front of a judge solid on only one out of four. This is to preclude the usual arguing about #1; even if I grant it, which I don't, it really isn't enough on its own.)
