> Clojure is much closer to math

I didn't know that having leaky abstractions on top of the horrible Java standard lib was "being closer to math"
I’m beginning to think a free, international Internet isn’t compatible with democracy. The medium is the message and the message of the Internet might end up being autocracy and hyper-effective propaganda and disinformation. I’m not sure it practically can live up to what we hoped it would be—some kind of liberating, enlightening force. It may just not be that, and it may be that no amount of tinkering will fix it.
Kind of, but probably not in the way you're thinking. All I meant is that we transitioned each of our services from Python 2 to code that was compatible with both Python versions, one by one. We tackled one aspect of Python 3 support at a time, e.g. imports, strings, integer division, third-party libraries, etc. Between future imports and utility librariess like six, most things were fairly easy to make compatible across both versions.

Once we did as much as we could do on Python 2, we had one of our engineers maintain a separate Python 3 branch in a staging environment for a while (maybe two weeks?) that we did some heavy QA on. And once we were fairly confident in the results, we merged and released that over a weekend and fixed issues as they came up.

We did all of this once for each service, but the bulk of the work (>80%) was our legacy monolith. I think the whole thing would have taken way less time with better test coverage, but alas. :)

No, my claim is that, while ceasing development of the language Python 2 is wholly sensible, ceasing development of the implementation Python 2 (CPython specifically) is not (due the almost certain existence of latent bugs). My "mumble" at the end was meant exactly in reference to that.

I suppose one could argue that, the CPython implementation is the language specification. (And I seem to recall hearing that notion somewhere years ago.) In which case, it would not be possible to freeze development of the language without freezing the implementation as well. There are various reasons I wholeheartedly disagree with such a characterization, but I guess there's some self-consistency there at least.
Nope, 2016 runs on Proton too.
Don't worry, HN will find something wrong with it. We could test every single person in the US and you guys would find something wrong with it if it showed good news. This place is worse than /coronavirus
That would be a really ambitious greedy loophole taker.

We were planning to put our house on the market May 1 with plans to move by July. We are actually a year later than we wanted to be "because life" and now we likely could be another year before we can implement our move.

I guess in a way we are lucky. If we had moved last summer, we would probably have an 80% finished custom home build in limbo right now.
>Yeah and the original cons cells had proper equality defined on them, which common lisp doesn't have.

Substantiate your claims.
While I definitely think wages should be higher, I don't think your assessment of the situation is accurate. Walmart didn't invent welfare. Walmart lobbies for higher wages, and pays higher than many comparable jobs. Them doing their employees a favor isn't a bad thing, they could just as easily pay low wages and not bother trying to help their employees with public assistance.

Small businesses are the reason the minimum wage is still 7.25, not Walmart.
This is truly wonderful news. Elements like these are powerful self-corrective measures of a free society. A free society can be exploited through propaganda, and this one certainly has, for generations. Now we will be immunized, through the presence of rampant pathogens. And we will be immunized through the deaths of those who are gullible and those around them.

Is your city very gullible? You'll have lots of deaths. There is no appreciable Reopen movement in San Francisco. This is vigilance. This is strength. The weak will cull themselves.

I've been programming professionally for 20 years and doing exclusively frontend with React since about 2014.

After the whole React Hooks thing, I can't freaking wait to do something else; and I'm absolutely livid with their decision to promote Hooks.

They should have forked React instead of introducing that into a somewhat mature ecosystem. Already went through this fractured bullshit with Coffeescript, and a million other frameworks of the moment. The JS community just doesn't learn, and when you see a big player like Facebook making the same mistakes, there really isn't much hope.
"In fact, one might call Gresham’s Law something of a special case of natural selection itself.

Forms of human behavior survive because they have a competitive edge against other behaviors. Self-interested groups naturally tend towards what works, so bad drives out good (in a moral sense) if it causes superior practical effects."

Except we have morals. So no this is a really poor example.

If anything our morals are what's holding up back. a 100,000 year old concept that works well in a village where you live day by day but has little use in the modern world where we can use numbers to tell us the best course of action.

Huh? If any forcing is going on -- which there isn't -- they would presumably be forced to toe the Trump party line, not to suppress or censor it. Wouldn't the present Federal government be happy if Facebook were to encourage protests and general disrespect for warnings from health authorities? If anything, Facebook's actions here are courageous.

It takes a lot to get me to defend Facebook, but the arguments popping up in this thread are proving to be more than sufficient.

That’s true. We could have 25% active infections and 25% not currently infected but who were infected in the past. I still think the actual numbers may be be lower (but higher than the reported figures, of course).
I don't think it violates the efficient markets hypothesis. I think that entails "if it was possible for someone to create an AI that would make more money by showing something else, the AI would be showing something else." Roughly, efficiency means that the most profitable solution will be the one that wins out, but "profitability" includes the costs of building such an advanced system, assuming that it's possible at all.
They made a hypothesis and conducted a study to validate it. Perhaps they are wrong. Would be far from the first time studies are proven wrong. At least they did something. Make a better study. Make a hundred better studies. Prove them wrong!
Python 2.7 is not dead because the PSF stopped supporting it. Thinking it is would be equivalent to thinking that C is dead because Bell Labs no longer supports it.

I predict that Python 2.7 will continue being supported by some capable organization for at least the next 10 years. As a lower bound, Red Hat has promised to continue supporting it for RHEL 8 customers until at least 2024.
That's actually a pretty fantastic idea. I like it!

When you're in a community or a space, actions that are unintentionally hostile towards that community or space, can be seen as intentionally hostile by the members, and if you only hear about it second-hand, or you spend a lot of time around the group, that belief can be reinforced through the discussions and gripes the group has about it(1).

(1): That's not to say there aren't bona fide intentionally hostile actions that happen, but rather that's how actions that aren't intended to be hostile can be remembered and percieved as such.

I am definitely guilty of being "hostile and condescending" to people asking the Python.org developers to waste time supporting Python 2. Please just stop. This time would be better spent working on the packaging situation rather than relitigating the last 12 years.

If people still want to work on Python 2 projects that's fine and it's their choice, but it's time to just let the rest of us go our own way.

There is random sampling being done. 2,5% had an ongoing infection in Stockholm in late Mars.[1]

Now, 11/100 blood givers in Stockholm who has not been sick in the last two weeks have antibodies according to researchers.

That gives you a naive mortality rate of 0,4% per infection, assuming the spread among bloodgivers is the same as the population in general and just dividing the death count by 11% of the population. It is a high eastimate as I guess many wont get traceable antobodies and mostly asymptotic people give blood.

Premier is an importer for "Hangzhou Biotest Biotech Co". Most of the validation data in the Stanford preprint also appear in this sell sheet:

Stanford reports doing a 30-person validation test with pre-COVID-19 hip surgery patients (100% negative). But this is not enough to validate these population-scale tests, especially when 98.5% specificity (rather than 99.5%) would fully invalidate the headline result.

Python doesn't really have anonymous functions (unless they are 1-line functions, which, in python, means they can't do much.)

This pretty much disqualifies it as a functional programming language.

Additionally, Guido and the community in general discourage functional programming. While the Common Lisp community already has a lot of libraries for FP, like FSET and others.

The intelligence community knows the Russian actors are and where they are hitting from, for the most part. The issue is getting the political and business leadership to take it seriously and do something about it.

I work in finance. I literally ask this question of my boss today as I deal with market data. Didn't want a negative price to fuck with our systems (I've only been at the firm for 1 year, so not entirely comfortable with all our systems). Thankfully, we don't do much with futures, so we weren't too badly affected by this.

Also, we don't use int's. We use proper decimal types for currency values.
At this point it's probably better to wait for the T14.

Because you quoted the article using BioMedomics' antibody diagnostic test, I will quote the accuracy from their site[0]:

> In order to test the detection sensitivity and specificity of the COVID-19 IgG-IgM combined antibody test, blood samples were collected from COVID-19 patients from multiple hospitals and Chinese CDC laboratories. The tests were done separately at each site. A total of 525 cases were tested: 397 (positive) clinically confirmed (including PCR test) SARS-CoV-2-infected patients and 128 non- SARS-CoV-2-infected patients (128 negative). The testing results of vein blood without viral inactivation were summarized in the Table 1. Of the 397 blood sample from SARS-CoV-2-infected patients, 352 tested positive, resulting in a sensitivity of 88.66%. Twelve of the blood samples from the 128 non-SARS-CoV-2 infection patients tested positive, generating a specificity of 90.63%.

"What does the saying say to them?" You said this repeatedly. What is the point in such a question, if not to make the target feel bad for those hypothetical people hearing the saying?

As far as the institutions go, you're not saying anything that anyone here is unaware of. Everyone here is totally familiar with the justifications for those institutions. That is not the point.

The point is that you led off by pulling the heart strings of white people merely for saying they want something for people of their category, when they can look around and see that not only is every other category allowed to say that and want that for people of their category, they actually have institutions that are openly explicitly trying to provide it to them.

The appearance is that you are holding them to a different standard than those other people, which is an indication of bias. That is how you fell into the trap.

It's not a good starting point if your next point is that you're just trying to make everyone equal. How can they trust you?

That's almost it's strong point. It's pretty quirky from the outside, but I like Proxmox. You can see, pretty quickly, with a ~$50/month experiment on OVH's discount arm (SoYouStart.com) if it's a good fit.

You can mix and match normal VMs with LXD containers, and it does quite well for single physical hosts or small clusters. Past some scale, I'd go with something else, but it's great at the < 20 physical host range. It's a fairly unsung open source area. OpenVZ used to be a semi for-profit, open source/ but we want money, competitor here. Guessing they are mostly dead now. (Not celebrating that...they did a lot of good).
