Thank you for targeting precisely the guilty parties driving the buybacks and 'dividend pumping'... We have met the enemy and they are us...

I swear the only way to curb the greed that screws ourselves over is to make every corporation into a non-profit.
While a C backend is great for compatibility, is it a sufficient IL to express everything? For example, Rust has some extra guarantees with aliasing that I'm unsure if C or C extensions support yet that could offer greater optimizations (currently not fully being used due to bugs in the LLVM backend).
It's certainly possible to know something happens without having exact numbers e.g. we know people consistently die from COVID but we won't have a truly solid number for the death rate until COVID dies down and we do antibody testing. And that's now! Think of how uncertain we were about the death rate 2 months ago yet we were still certain people were dying from it.

I would be interested in knowing how the reactors are handling side-effect which should never be replayed. Is there some well established pattern for doing this?
It is enabled and working in _my_ firefox.

But, I encourage you to try to get it working in _your_ firefox, where that site says you are in fact using ESNI. It is trickier than just enabling a flag.

If you think this means people are using it, sure. Firefox has ~9% of market share, and a very small percent (maybe 0.1%) of those users have correctly configured this, and when those users visit a page hosted by cloudflare they will may be use ESNI. That is in fact more than zero users. It is a very very small number today, but hopefully it will grow in the future.

And while that page you link tests ESNI, I cannot verify that any other domain supports ESNI. I am unaware of any tooling that lets me test that today.
I'd argue this is hard to do when it's so easy to explore a bit further, so I'd rather just stay away from trouble :)

I hate it. At least one person on our call has a background whine that he can't hear, but is constant. Other people have kids. At least once a call there's an echo event where someone puts their speakers too close to their mic. Trying to listen and understand what anyone is saying is difficult - I've nearly given up.
I don't really see many people on this post arguing against encryption entirely... and the article isn't vs HTTP, it is about an upgrade to a new version of TLS; so it kind of feels like you are just cherrypicking a few comments in order to hit at a rather fascinating strawman agenda / conspiracy theory: is there even a single comment here--other than yours ;P--poking at Netflix over reduced stream quality due to the pandemic?

Maybe so, but it's already quite leaning in one political direction. I would love for the great, smart people that frequent here to discuss controversial/right-leaning topics with critique, nuance and fair points, but it just doesn't happen because "downvotes". We're all human, and we have greater-than-zero tendency to emotionally "dislike" contradicting opinions, valid or not.

I didn't downvote, but I'd wager that the downvoters just disliked what you said and couldn't refute your statement, or were too lazy to do it, or were afraid to risk karma. Or perhaps, they were afraid to do it because they work for a big corporation and could have their comment traced back to them and experience negative repercussions.

But, I'd still wager they didn't like your statement and misused the downvote function.

The article makes it sound more like a power struggle after Martinis got put in an advisory role which for executives is a polite way of firing someone who has done a good job.
>1. Why marry the state stored in the database with any particular implementation of the front-end?

They seem to have only one front-end implementation to worry about for now, and the client state is most likely pretty generic (they don't really make this clear, but I can't think of anything react-specific you'd want to store in a reducer state).
Yes, but much more expensive and problematic than putting someone on a ventilator. The machine itself gets clogged with clotted blood so thinners are required to delay that breakdown.
I was a programmer back then, and it's not the "golden age of programming" that some make it out to be. For one thing, WE were complaining about how big and bloated software was becoming compared to the "old days" when programmers only had 64KB to work with. On top of that, it took SO LONG to develop basic functionality that you could probably build in a one hour language tutorial now. Things that were excruciating to build are trivial now. Yes, there is a cost. Abstraction adds bloat, but it also allows developers to be much more productive.

I have a friend I play go with that is an old Univac programmer (he's 30 years older than me) and he often pulls the "call me when you have to use punch cards".

Developers always look back on the past a bit wistfully, but I assure you that some things never change.
So what was "misleading" about it? Compared to Spain or Italy, the limitations were fewer. And of those, many have now been lifted.

Not sure why you felt the need to call it "misleading".
This is just my 2 cents but according to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries Japan has only done 923 tests for 1M of their population. That's much lower than any developed nation. One thing the article claims is the spread of the virus by asymptomatic infected people. Given this low level of testing - it's hard to gauge the true level of infection in the country - although the continuous decrease on daily cases is good, it doesn't mean it cannot spike back up. We just have to wait and see what happens.
Note that the LLVM monoculture came about because of how much of a pain GCC is to work with.

And GCC being a pain to work with is a deliberate decision by Stallman to avoid his baby being expanded upon by corporations
How to Start in a Niche Market and Aim Big? Digital Marketing Strategy
This feels welcome to me. I tend to think a language needs multiple independent implementations that only share the same source language spec, in order to really tear a clear spec apart from the quirks of any particular implementation.

I find Rust (the spec, though also the implemenration) quite safe and practical (a balance). It deserves some independent implementations to secure a long and stable future.

On the other hand, I want to use it on non-ARM embedded platforms, where current cross-compilation through C produces unusably big binaries. I dream this might increase hope for that, too, eventually.
I'm as confused as you are.

My guess is some people have a greater hatred for DRM, which makes Netflix "bad", and so anything Netflix does security-wise that isn't removing DRM becomes irrelevant.

But those comments seem to be mostly downvoted now anyways, so they don't seem to be representative.
Yes, it's called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The wiki article mentions that it was used on 3% of severe cases in China.

It would be exceptionally difficult—if not outright impossible—for me to write something like this and not once make even a passing attempt to imply blame or culpability for a core dishonesty that may well end up causing thousands of deaths.

Patrick, I admire your professionalism and restraint in service of your goals.

I tend to think the technology industry could benefit from a heavy dose of humility. This isn't just a problem for people at the top - it is pervasive at all levels and professions within the technology industry.

That would go a long ways towards the ends being discussed.
Yes that's I nice way to run into logistic. Some introductory books use that as a motivating example, usually the second one. SIR is too simple to be accurate, but is ok enough to paint with broad brush strokes. Sometimes simple models are still useful as long as one does not read too much into the output.

Statistical epidemiology is quite heavily invested in stochastic differential equation. Wikipedia would hardly suffice as an academic, up to date and an exhaustive bibliography.

How exactly am I supposed to charge this? Take my bike in the lift up to the office/apartment? Maybe its because I'm not in California, but I've never seen a bike cage with charging stations -- and I'm sure it needs an expensive power brick. Without the ability to bring the battery with you for charging, this is an expensive toy for rich people in suburbia.
Modern compilers generally have a language-specific front and that generates an intermediate representation of the program logic, which is then transformed into an abstract representation (such as a single static analysis tree) for optimization. That is then transformed into an abstract machine description language, which gets further transformed by the back end into concrete machine instructions or assembly code.

Outside of the language-specific front end, compilers generally have no knowledge of the programming language itself. There is no technical advantage to transforming Rust into C when it comes to the middle and back ends, which form the bulk of the compiler.

There are no language-specific optimization opportunities. There are, of course, restrictions on what you can do in some languages that eliminate optimization opportunities, but you're not suddenly going to be able to take advantage of those opportunities by transforming your code into a langue that lacks the restrictions, because then you change the semantics of your code.

Judging by the comments so far, the name change backlash is of unseen-since-Qwikster proportions…
I hope you have the opportunity to serve on a jury for a meaningful case one day. I did, and it really opened my eyes.

It was a young man being charged with a list of crimes, the most serious being negligent homicide. I went into it thinking "oh boy, this kid must be guilty" and by the end, I wished we had the ability to convict the prosecutor of negligence. The kid did nothing wrong.

But the initial vote was 11 to 1 not guilty. The one guilty was a retired guy, and to this day I believe he was just relishing having something to do because he kept us there for an extra day trying to convince him that the kid wasn't guilty. He didn't even have a good reason for the guilty vote either, which was the worst part. Eventually he relented and the kid went free.

The moral of my story is, having a different opinion isn't necessarily a good or useful thing on a jury.

I live in Berlin where many people live in low-rise apartments with no elevators and keep their bikes downstairs. I believe this is quite common for many cities in Europe. What I don't understand is how people are charging their bikes. Are they really lugging this thing up multiple flights of stairs and charging it in their apartments every few days? I've heard it's pretty heavy. Or, does it not need to be charged very often?
I feel like I didn't get the same satisfaction out of factorio until I turned the difficulty up enough to feel like the bugs were a threat so I could lose. Admittedly I turned it up too high to get that feeling and had to restart with a bit less difficulty. Then I had a reason to build walls/turrets/etc because I couldn't maintain safety without them and planning for mining expansions.
> It's absolutely astounding to me just how much better these systems are than their nearest alternatives 30+ years later.

FWIW, what you're describing is achievable with a decent audio interface, something like the AT BPHS1/BPHS2, and some cough/mute switches. My travel rig for video has full direct monitoring/sidetone for up to eight microphones/headsets, including wireless transmitters if I need to go that route; it's fantastic.

The current state of affairs for normal people is as bad as it is because normal people don't care.
You beat me to it. I'm wondering the same thing.
I use Restyaboard for this Kanban approach. It’s a productivity and management tool specifically built around a Kanban-style workflow. It is widely used as a great free tool for Project Planning and Management, Task Management, CRM, Bug tracking. I love it!
Now v1 was such an awesome abstraction, I was inspired to recreate the CLI on top of Kubernetes, to avoid any vendor lock-in. I also needed v1 capabilities like websocket support that went away with the v2 lambdas. This CLI utility has support for a few major cloud Kubernetes providers.

I have no expertise in this subject area. My layperson understanding is that ventilation is a fairly invasive procedure. There are risks involved, such as infection from improperly sterilized equipment. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can elaborate further.
That 80s guy sounds like a genius, but this guy is probably not, like most of us. He may be intelligent and hardworking, but a genius is on a different level. Another thing is that progressive myopia is something different than going completely blind and deaf. That is this guy's fate. How do you communicate then?
It's a sad thing that you've been downvoted for posting a thought. Others have already said the drawbacks of this idea, but there are also pros.
Ok Google – it's time you discovered cyclists
This would also explain why Bank of America initially required an existing credit account. It makes sense that they would want to bail out their own bad debt with PPP money.
Ok, so you’re taking one paper and assuming it is correct, and using that to dismiss more recent data.

Keep in mind that not even two weeks ago, the best estimate of IFR in China was 0.66%. It keeps dropping. Also, the confidence interval on the paper you’re citing extends to 0.2%.

I’m not saying that the factor is 50x, just that it’s plausible.
Three is way too few samples to draw any statistics from anyway. It does suggest untracked transmission in Japan. And that's about it.

When I read that part I was disappointed to have been lured into reading another iteration of "I multiply numbers without tracking associated uncertainty". Sigh. That stuff runs rampant at the moment.

Reactors can keep their own state including their current position in the event stream. When a replay is initiated it ignores events older than it's current "head."
Serverless is just zoomer Common Gateway Interface for venture capitalists
There are definitely some businesses - owners, shareholders, directors - who have not spent every dollar made and conserved their capital in some form or another so that in the event of a catastrophic situation they would be prepared. It's not insane...instead it's prudent to save and invest (not saying it's cash on hand/books).

They are not asking for a bailout from anyone, in fact, they are well-positioned to capitalize on the changes and opportunities in their respective markets. Such opportunities would actually be greater if the government did not intervene, so in a way it's kind of perverse that those who sacrificed and saved are being penalized.

Every business has a choice and while more popular pathway in modern America may be to live on the edge, it's not unanimous.
Is that Renoir (Ryzen 4x00) chip? As far as I've read, the 3x00 mobile (Zen+) were good but not amazing. The Renoirs seem to be blowing everyone out of the water, and I've read several times that it seems to pack "desktop performance on a mobile envelope".
But as we've seen from spots in Europe, you also have to invest wisely. I think (as harsh as it is to say) we can learn from this and pick healthcare models that work well even under strain.
In that case, if you have the resources, you find both.
Krebs updated the article. Basically all those domains were registered by someone snatching them up before someone else could for the purpose of preventing profiteering.
It's unfair to rms to say that. He would be happy for corporations to use and contribute to any project associated with the GNU project (like GCC), if everyone wanted to play along in GPL land (which of course isn't reality).
> think how to properly implement it

OTOH, the only people who can think how to properly implement it are people who are also perfectly comfortable with Assembly, C or C++.
I would go further

- yes lag, having to deal with delays and jump in at the right time is fatiguing

- audio - auto-muting, inexact codecs, compression artifacts, bad echo cancellation

- small screen, and mismatched eyes

- there is also etiquette.

inadvertent - people who talk too loud or don't understand the lag or don't notice their drop outs

should-know-better - people who use speakerphone and inflict it on people who deal with headsets to give others good sound. or carry their devices moving
Sure, but that's not at all how the sampling was done. Just read the article!
It seems to me this, evolutionary speaking, this would make sense. A sudden change in the rewards can indicate that the environment has changed, and rather than acting as you always have you should act in the way that maximizes the rewards you get in this new environment. At least in situations where it is not obvious why the environment changed.
>> I find Rust (the spec, though also the implemenration) quite safe and practical (a balance). It deserves some independent implementations to secure a long and stable future.

Where is the Rust spec? Unless something happened really quickly that I was not aware of there is only the implementation.
Python 3 is an enormous success so I don't know what you could be referring to.

Everyone who ships software knows that there is always a very small but disproportionately vocal set of malcontents who can't accept changes; that's their issue, not anyone else's.

In my uneducated mind, it seems like the connection should only be accepted if the initial handshake ACK packet is completely empty.
Agreed. I've been blocking HTTP (on port 80) accross my network and I reroute all DNS traffic to a pihole configured to use DoT. At this point in time there is really no reason to let anyone see plain text traffic.

A few things are whitelisted but the handful of things that break aren't necessary anyway.
"This is a wake-up call for authenticity."

Emphatic agreement.

Signed work is journalism. Unsigned work is gossip, propaganda.

Much too much effort is being expended on determining truthiness. Pure futility.

Meanwhile, I haven't found any efforts by content providers to sign their works. So consumers can have some sense of provenance.

Use trusted certs. Any one caught impersonating someone else has their certs revoked.
Thanks for this! I haven't played in a while, and have been meaning to get back into it.
On [1] - You're correct that Pub/Sub is difficult to get right, but it can confer a bunch of benefits which make it worthwhile to struggle with. RabbitMQ + Replay-ability (the details of which will differ based on your design) + good data model design is usually a safe bet here.
I love how the Democrats’ big win in the package was ensuring strict oversight. Everyone remember that manufactured narrative in the media?
I'd argue that Angular is just a framework and the tool is whatever you use to hammer your angular code together. Your text editor/IDE of choice will probably outlast your use of Angular and therefore OP would be suggesting it is worth the time learning how to maximize your effectiveness with the IDE.
You claim that you can't work remote because working from home doesn't work for you. When it becomes clear that working remote doesn't mean working from home, you clain that you actually can't work remote for another reason.

This is a common phenomenom, though I don't know a name for it. You seem to be finding justifications for your preference (in this case, to work at a company office), but my experience think there is some other real reason. What is it?

I would note that working closely with co-workers can be achieved with text, voice, video, and shared whiteboards/screens. It is probably less efficient, but are you going in to work because you truly can't afford that loss of efficiency? Do you have an quantitative estimate of those losses, and a quantitative estimate of other efficiency gains/losses due to working remote? Do they take into account that it takes a while to readjust? If not, you just have a preference, and it doesn't need to be justified or defended.
That's just.. a basic misunderstanding of statistics.
> There is no technical advantage to transforming Rust into C

There is a key one: the ability to use any C compiler out there (including proprietary ones). This allows you to target all platforms out there.
Ever proven an interviewer wrong or lesser to their face/in front of their peers (even without being crass about it)?

yes, it is called an ECMO machine and they're very rare and IIRC they're only really used during heart or lung transplant surgeries.
> - The signal was so clear, and the mics were so good, that as long as you enunciated you could speak just a hair above a whisper and be reliably understood. I remember analog PSTN voice, and this was 10x better. Might have to do with less aggressive EQ.

OTOH everyone on a Web video chat always sounds like they're YELLING. Even if the volume's turned down, the tone registers as yelling. Having those happening nearby with regularity, even behind a (thin) wall, is about as bad as the proverbial open-office-seated-near-sales situation.

I think people talk louder on cell phones than they did on old analog land lines, too.
Britain's Ancient Parliament Goes Virtual to Cope with Coronavirus
If they are not going for ad revenue as you indicate above (sparse ads, at best) are they instead going for a huge number of "references"? I.e., do they feel (or have they A/B tested) that their miss-information campaign can be more convincing if their initial "contact" can cite a bunch of "references" that all seem to support the "issue" being pushed in that initial contact?

I.e., presume their real aim is some kind of initial email contact, possibly soliciting donations/support for some 'cause'. If that contact email can reference ten of these fake websites, all of which support the point made in the initial email, does it increase the rate of donation/support return from that initial contact email?
I feel like you've hit the nail on the head. I remember growing up; I'd have long conversations on the landline and it never really felt burdensome.

With Zoom, Facetime etc, it's hard to gauge who's talking to who. Side conversations within groups are impossible. You also can't get a feel over another person's body language.
