I'm curious what it is that you do for work? You mention not making money from Go (or programming) -- what are your goals? Is it a startup kind of thing, or employment as a developer? I feel like you could probably get a job if you're familiar with Go and Python you can probably start interviewing.
I liked the tabbed sections, but I feel like they could use some differentiation from the rest of the content. For example, in the "limitations" tabbed section, I had to scroll down and flip through the tabs to determine where the tabbed content ended. Separating this out a little more would make it apparent that "changing this tab only changes this content," something along these lines (rough in-page mockup): https://imgur.com/D2lhOwV
this works now x for input and output ... the challenge for this kind of thing in bare code is that you need a LOT of namespace ... .oO maybe override the dot?

I don't think it's about developers caring less.

I think it's because businesses have figured out that it is most cost-efficient to throw powerful hardware on problems rather than spending money on bespoke solutions or specialists in most cases.

While it appears that cg_clif is faster to compile, does it provide any performance benefit compared to cg_llvm? Are the compiled binaries as fast as llvm compiled binaries? If not is the use-case for development purposes only?
This reads to me like someone telling you that you could shave 30 minutes off your commute, and then justifying that you don't have time to look at a map. Plenty of things are very easy to learn with large payoffs; some of which are so basic and so necessary that it is criminally negligible to proceed with such vast incompetence for someone in the trade.

E.g. doctors spending no time to learn about new drugs and prescribing them.
There is some data.

Ontario is largely a rural province.

> New modelling predictions show that the wave of new, community spread cases of coronavirus in Ontario appears to have peaked, but the spread in long-term care homes and other group settings is still growing.

> Earlier models predicted the peak would be hit in May, however according to data released by the province’s Ministry of Health, public health measures and social distancing have brought it forward.

In spite of this we are not yet moving to reopen, rather deciding not to cut the parachute just because it started to slow our fall.

The semantics of C aren't very well defined, there is a lot of ambiguity in the form of undefined and implementation defined behaviour. This ambiguity is often needed to build an efficient optimizing compiler.

When you have a higher level language with more accurately defined semantics, running it all through C would risk introducing undefined behaviour.

With an IR you can control and define the semantics more closely to what your language needs.

There's no way to know what the false conviction rate is. We can only know what the proven false conviction rate is. There's presumably always some percentage of innocent people who can't find an alibi or other evidence to clear themselves of a crime they did not commit.
Freedom requires that people make individual risk assessments. The true mortality rate of COVID-19 is only around 0.37%, based on the results from the broad antibody test in Germany. The typical flu season is 0.1%. For healthy people under 50, the risk is very low and they should be permitted to go about their lives if they so choose.

Those that are too scared to go outside can self isolate per their own risk assessment. But curtailing others’ freedom due to their own fears is not OK.

Your statement, labeling others’ choices as the wrong risk assessment, feels very authoritarian to me. By that logic we should ban anything that carries a nonzero possibility of death, whether it is skiing or biking or alcohol.

This particular problem is solvable by having (client_sequence_number+1) to be part of the HMAC (thus checking it as well), and by storing the MSS in the MSB part of the generated server sequence number rather than in the LSB.

Then every packet other than the first data packet will be discarded as invalid, and eventually the client-side retransmits will take care that everything works properly.

The problem that is impossible to solve, however, is the lost third ACK (acknowledging SYN-ACK) from the client , if the client doesn’t send any data to server upon the connect. It’s sufficiently rare in today’s protocols, though.

Another problem that the above approach will create afresh is that it assumes that the retransmitted client SYNs will have the same ISN, which isn’t the same in practice with e.g. some load balancers (who also try hard not to keep the state). And that behavior is kinda a slightly gray zone in the TCP spec, IIRC...

Edit: (I wonder if the last paragraph above is the real reason or I missed something else)

Edit2: oh, thanks to Majromax’s mention of the DJB’s write-up, the above has the problem of not complying with “sequence numbers increasing slowly”, and indeed brings up a real-world scenario where that approach was an issue - using rcp/rlogin protocols, which reused a very narrow range of source ports, so the 5-tuple reuse was common.

Keep up the great work!
I agree with the sibling comment, that "10x"ness is only weakly related to tool usage. I've done some of my best work in ludicrously awful environments because that was the only feasible as a result of a whole stack of previous tech choices made by other people, usually for valid-looking business reasons.

VS2005 inside an XP VM? To build WinCE 4? In 2015? No sane person would choose that environment today, but it had been a valid choice in the mid-2000s and the hardware was still working, so I rolled up my sleeves and fixed the bugs. Customer was satisfied and we all got paid.

The only person I've ever worked with who could concievably be a 100x engineer did some of his best work on paper. But then he was a heavy-caliber mathematician.

From the article:

There are other things we can do as well to avoid immediately resorting to intubation and a ventilator. Patient positioning maneuvers (having patients lie on their stomach and sides) opens up the lower and posterior lungs most affected in Covid pneumonia. Oxygenation and positioning helped patients breathe easier and seemed to prevent progression of the disease in many cases. In a preliminary study by Dr. Caputo, this strategy helped keep three out of four patients with advanced Covid pneumonia from needing a ventilator in the first 24 hours.
>"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

I believe this is by far the best way to handle it as well, but I did recently read a book that brought up an interesting point.

The line above is almost always the justification given. But, what if those ten were murderers, and by letting those ten escape, each one ended up killing another innocent? Now in your efforts to stop one innocent from going to prison, ten innocents have died, versus the one that would have been falsely imprisoned otherwise.

NY draining reserves, seeks $4B no-interest loan from Fed to pay unemployment
Seems especially true for quantum computing. So many different, untested ways to get to the end goal, to the point where members of a group could all have perfectly valid reasoning as to why their particular method is the only one that will work.
When those tools’ lifecycle is 2 years at most fewer people are willing invest the effort to master them and instead learn on a need basis. If there was a guaranteed lifecycle the benefits would indeed compound and pay off handsomely.

For example I worked on an Angular project and invested a bit of time to learn the framework and certain libraries. I completed the project and it was successful, but my new projects aren’t to be done in angular anymore and I can’t apply all this knowledge, at least for the time being. Am I glad I learned this? Sure. But, this theme has repeated so much in my career that I am reluctant to jump onto a new thing. Instead I doubled down on F# and started learning scheme.

In the weeks from March 1 to April 4 there were 19824 people death in a subset of municipalities in Lombardia where data is already available, while in the last five years the number of deaths in the comparable period was in the 6767 - 7248 range. This subset normally accounts for 73% of the deaths in the region so we can estimate that there were 17000 excess deaths (27200 vs 9200-9900).

Less than 9000 COVID-19 deaths were reported in Lombardia by that time. If you think they are too generous classifying deaths as being caused by the infection, what would you say that caused the death of more than twice the usual number of people during the period?

My prayers have been answered, hopefully. I hope they'll let you write code that isn't just Swift Playgrounds++ and they let you write code in other languages and run it in a container, then I don't have to carry the laptop around as much (presuming someone makes a good keyboard for the iPad that I can use on my lap...).
Custom architecture was prevalent back then because there weren't any real standards for developing a system that could render 3D graphics. If you wanted 3D rendering, you had to do it yourself. No one was selling you a pre-built stable chip.

The now defunct fixed function pipeline was still being formalized in PCs, let alone consoles. Each console was a massive exploration into what could be done and who could make the best SDK for that hardware to entice developers to make games.

The fact that all modern consoles and PC's are similar should be applauded. It's the culmination of decades of hardware and software learnings, standardized into the optimal hardware for graphics and game performance.

The fact that they all found what they needed in a similar architecture footprint is good for hardware design, good for developers, good for business, good for porting, good for optimization, and finally, good for performance.

Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft are no longer able to design the latest and greatest chipsets. The complexity is just too much for them to reasonably pay to do so. That's why AMD does it for them. Why would you reinvent the wheel when someone has already spent decades making Ferrari's and is begging you to use their engine at a discount, bulk manufacturing included?

Back during the PS1, Sony had a heavy hand in the graphics card design. Not as much anymore. They tell AMD what they want to do and AMD eschews an existing chip to do it for them.

I know it sounds less glamorous, but honestly, it's the most remarkable thing I've ever seen in the history of modern manufacturing, short of landing on the moon. Having one company able to provide chipsets for any and all applications, including gaming at a practical whim seems pretty amazing.

tldr; The consoles are all the same because AMD/nVidia are so much better at hardware design than Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo that it's not even funny anymore. If someone has the latest and greatest already available for licensing, just buy it and get on with making amazing games.

> Given that Japan's official count is ~11k, is there reason to believe 1/4 of all official cases are "severe"?

Yes. That fits data out thus far.

Combine the 19% severe cases number out of China with Japan's aging population (which COVID-19 hits substantially harder), and 1/4 is entirely reasonable.

Here it is. The stupidest thing I've read all day.
We don't have the numbers showing the number of guilty people found innocent. We also don't have an accurate count of the number of innocent people found guilty, only that it has happened consistently. I explain this in the rest of the post.

I've got to wonder if any of the existing intermediate representations would be appropriate with other programming languages.
My guess is the "independant discovery 1 hour earlier" wasn't truly independent.

I'd guess that by messing with this stuff, it probably broke some internal systems that ended up firing alerts to engineers internally. Those engineers then 'discovered' the bug, and started fixing it.

Most systems at scale are designed to reject bad input, log it, but nobody takes any action.

A few systems have to process every record in order. For example, the billing system might go through every entry in a database table and add them to bills. If just one entry is malformed in some way and can't be added to the bill, it is retried. If there isn't success after a few retries, the whole process fails, and an engineer is paged to sort the problem.

I saw this kind of thing multiple times... You think you have fully sanitized every input, but someone always finds a way to add a 30 gigabyte surname to the addressbook, choose a profile image with negative dimensions, have a million devices share the same mac address, etc.

I'm OP: got a way too stripped down hp stream. For the use case ("here you go mom, you got firefox and netflix installed") it was more than enough.

But it does have some severe limitations. Soldered 4GB RAM and 32gb eMMC drive. Soldered everything basically. The procesor has a 6W TDP [0]. The free storage space is so limited that once it got a big windows update and I had to disable virtual memory just to get windows to update, then clean the update files and re-enable virtual memory.

OTOH, the processor has 4MB of L2 cache. That's a monster performance boost in that form-factor, so it doesn't feel like previous Atoms (and props to intel for not calling an Atom, it's called Celeron N4000 or Pentium N5000). Do take into account this is Q4-2017 tech, so the Ryzens these year have leapt over it/are about to.

The computer doesn't have fans, but it never gets hot, a bit warm at most. The final touch is a mate screen[1] at 11", paired with a comfortable keyboard. Nothing about it is incredible, but I got it at a good discount (about $180) which was a killer price.

I did a quick amazon search and it seems the 11" model has been discontinued and people are selling at $300 (that's a good one) and the 14" stands at $240 lowest price.

As for buying someth today, I've read great reviews of the Motile 11" "netbook" [2] (not the 14") that packs a Ryzen 3200 (that's Zen+, not Zen 2) which packs good performance into a low power envelope, with decent build and good specs. They sold those at sub-$200 for a while, but then the (too?) good reviews bumped that price up to the $300+ range. Still better than other alternatives at that price, but not a killer.

I'd certainly look to buy one of those today if I was looking for the same use case, mainly because I want to support AMD and low-power intel is still kicking forward the arrival of Tremont (the successor to Goldmont+). And given the performance AMD is pulling from these mobile Ryzens (specially the Renoir chips), I doubt intel's Tremont chips will hold their ground -- rumour was about 30% IPC improvement over Goldmont+, but that's already a very underpowered chip.

Well this got quite a bit longer than I expected. That's all I know/care about small, lightweight, cheap laptops these days. Hope it's useful to someone!

Very interested by the lineup on Gorsuch's opinion:

> Gorsuch was joined in part by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Brett Kavanaugh.

I'm sure someone with more experience would see how it makes sense, but as someone who isn't well-versed in the workings of the Supreme Court, I'm surprised that set agreed on something.
I hope that AMD having decent mobile performance in some of this year's laptops will make the next cycle of laptops really see OEMs embrace the platform. While they are catching up with performance, cooling solutions, sleek design (MS Surface, some Lenovos, etc)... there's nothing like an AMD flavor XPS 13 I could pick up now, no 4K option really. That would be great competition for Intel and potentially a better option for ultrabooks that are so reliant on integrated graphics.

I am having trouble understanding the landlord's perspective here. Say my tenant just missed 3 months of rent because they could not work during quarantine. Now, the economy reopens and they get their job back (yes, this is an assumption). Now they are able to pay rent but, because their job is not high-paying, they are unable to pay back the 3 months of debt. I can either waive the debt or evict and find a new tenant. But I lose the debt in either case, so why would I prefer to evict and have to suffer the hassle of finding a new tenant?

Main difference with Vercel / ZEIT is that unlike Netlify, it can more easily have SSR pages.
