It’s a small business. Their staff could be infected or furloughed, or worse.

In terms of our day to day lives it might feel like the proverbial month of Sundays right now, but for operations teams it’s more like an unending stream of Friday afternoons in terms of sensitivity to making big infrastructure changes.

Is there an official list of assumptions used in GAAP? According to the wikipedia, GAAP is just a bunch of very high level principles, such as be honest, consistent, give your best estimate of your finances... But it doesn't seem to prescribe any particular rules to use, just that you use them consistently. And then, what does that mean about non-GAAP ? Does non-GAAP basically allow you to be inconsistent and dishonest or use less than your best guess ?

So does this happened because the rising adaptation of SSD or it's bound to happen after all for HDD to cutting cost?
This sounds really fantastic. Can you explain a bit more about the hardware requirements? If I have a decent notebook with an Intel-integrated GPU, how can I both passthrought the GPU to the VM and use it for rendering the GUI on the host?
Authenticity is about signing more than encrypting. But having that actually work would require a robust key distribution system that's actually usable by the general public.
Center of the home- why some home fail
No, this clip is widely considered as bogus in the community.
I was more referring to how it knows once it’s finished since the task is asynchronous. So for the backend to find out, it could do the select you mentioned and find out it’s still in progress. Then it checks again next second and still in progress. Then checks again and it’s done. But now your backend has been polling for an update and so you might as well have performed the task in the application because it is still being used up for the duration of the task.
I mean, the unneeded bloat from electron isn't something I want. I don't like when my apps take up a lot of space on the system when it doesn't need to.

But thanks anyway. I've built a few apps using Electron before.

Yeah! I'm not about to go acting like I'm a systems programmer. I'm not writing drivers. But there's a lot of CS principles you just don't get exposed to when writing web stuff and that's what I'm after. Just knowing those things better will make be a better programmer, even if I never use rust professionally.

Sounds like it would be with a few minutes of fun on a daily status call during these work-from-home days of quarantine. For the time being the goofiest it’s gotten was someone using a virtual webcam that allowed for green-screen and looping video of the Max Headroom background... Which reminds me, though slightly off topic, if there’s virtual webcam software whose sole point is to keep a log of all of the applications using the built-in camera or mic. That might be useful.

Sure it's effective.

But is it more effective than simple washing hands and social distancing?

I think Sweden is proving that it's not.

Additionally short of what you're proposing...full total lockdown...the virus isn't going anywhere...it will be in society when we emerge from quarantine immunologically naeive ready for another wave of Corona.
As I said elsewhere, I was fortunate to be a full-time homemaker.

Just to give you some kind of picture: I have a serious medical condition, as does my oldest, and both of my kids are twice exceptional, not just gifted. I was also a military wife, which is fairly demanding, and I went to college part-time and intermittently.

When my oldest was twelve, I realized that he argued so much because he was bored. At that point, I began redirecting his attention instead of arguing and life got vastly better and he quit making me crazy.

I was still active on parenting lists and that idea was a big revelation for a number of parents who indicated that announcements that "I'm bored" tended to precede problematic social behavior.

"Idle hands are the devil's workshop" for bright kids. Keeping them occupied is the best way to keep the peace.
The evidence is perhaps shown by the countries that use HQNN to prevent malaria, that also have very low infection rates for the coronavirus.
Is Phoenix only for the optional operator dashboard?
I ask because I have not tried Phoenix. I've played with Elixir since it came out, but only Elixir.
I think modern farmers don't really have much of a problem re-introducing depleted nutrients into the soil. Modern fertilizers, composting, and amending soil are pretty well understood farming and gardening techniques.

The fact that every year, literally thousands of tons of nutrients in the form of salmon from the ocean makes its way upstream, where it just deposits itself and stays there probably helps a lot. All the local plants are benefiting from this annual nutrient bomb.
Free software projects need to converge on standard platforms and tools. On the modern complex world, it's bad enough that they can't keep with proprietary software features and polish. But they can't keep up with the black hat industry either.
Math is nature’s Quine.
>Rust seems to be popular only in the web sphere, where Javascript and Python programmers are tweeting that they now know a "systems language".

This is great because now we are starting to get faster, more performant libraries and code. People switching from Node to Rust see huge speedups. Perhaps we'll also switch from JS to rust with WASM. Rust is nice because it's high level enough to write code with algebraic data types, like in TypeScript, so that maintenance is easier. Personally I'd love to see as many people as possible move from JS and Python to Rust.
As a layman I sometimes use a block explorer to check how many confirmations a transaction I made has. I also check the median confirmation time and mean transaction fees out of curiosity if confirmations are taking too long but I let the BTC client choose the fee so I rarely have problems with confirmations on the network.
Could it be that the reduced stress on the buyers result in reduced speed on the staff?
While I find random publications--such as this page from _Audels machinists and tool makers handy book_, page 245 Fig 10 & 11 'Method of shifting belt of a counter shaft drive lathe while running...' [1]--about industrial processes utterly fascinating, this one on the Truly Flat Plane is abstruse.

Excellent craftmanship of a helpful blog. Very reminiscent of the style used by the Head Rush Ajax (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596102258.do) book O'Reilly published back in 2009 and the rest of the Head First series.
Which is meaningless, especially with respect to this discussion
This is intentional. In fact, I've seen many McDonald'ses that were redecorated such that you can't see the screen with the queued/ready orders from where the kiosks are. This way, you're not discouraged from ordering if you feel like the wait will be too long.

This is also why McDonald's introduced table service, which is only in restaurants that have a layout where it's impossible to hide how many people are waiting. It costs manpower to deliver food to tables, but the additional orders are worth it.

McD's don't mind if you have to wait, they mind if you leave before you order. "Busy-looking queue" is a much more frequent problem than "totally-packed-restaurant".

I wonder at what point we finally decide that "G" in GPU doesn't make sense, and instead we start building compute modules that don't have 8 graphics connectors, and don't mess with graphics apis, and most importantly have open source drivers.
COBOL is unstructured. It doesn't even have functions. When you've got some million+ line tangled mass that has all kinds of undocumented behavior, it's really better just to add more duct tape and punt it off to the poor bastard who actually has to fix it in 20 years.
So two things. First the actual quote:

> The rewrite of the service in Rust did take longer than both the JavaScript version and the Go version: about a week to get up to speed in the language and implement the program.

So that was an hour for a programmer who knew JS, and then a week for a developer who didn't know Rust.

Secondly, to me those times are acceptable, because they don't tell the whole story. JS is very easy to quickly prototype things in, but that doesn't mean it's great to maintain. Just yesterday in our JS code we have found in some places we are writing timestamps as an epoch number, and some places we are writing them as a DateTime string. It's not as fast as native code, nor as easy to parallalise, etc.
Question is, for how long? I am dreading the day when I can no longer switch to old.reddit.com whenever my laptop is begging for mercy.
It usually is. Well connected fraternities at that.
Do you mean the reference to four-by-two timber. It’s not really measurement when it’s a standard size like that. More like a well known discrete unit like a pint of beer or a 54” pizza.
Thank you, that’s insightful. An honest (not cynical) follow up question: Would that in consequence mean that in your perspective, an expert who in mid February somewhat speculative had pointed to a possible outbreak in Italy or elsewhere in Europe - based on predictive scenario modeling and probabilities - had done a worse job than one who ruled out such a possibility, by relying exclusively on that moment’s available data (despite virus data lagging a few weeks)?
By "viewed over decades" we count in period when vaccine is supposed to exist, when we have cheaper tests and know to put on masks when something happens and when majority of population has antibodies. Even the most pessimistic estimates expect the issue to be dealt with in decades.

Also, the thing to consider is that working class is whonis most at risk from this. Rich people have less comorbidities, can afford healthcare and are much more easily to work from home and buy via deliveries.

This is basically reason why African Americans die the most - working class can't isolate themselves so easily. They are the group to die more then same age non working class.
> No "proper" doctor is going to administer a dangerous drug to a non-critical patient to prevent what might turn out to be a harmless course of the diseases.

This "dangerous" drug has been used in medicine for 60 years for probably more than a billion or two people. I'm sure that a "proper" doctor faced with a dying patient that is unresponsive to everything else is going to offer this drug. Its a good thing that congress approved the Right To Try law.

Since January leaks from Chinese health care warned about all of this. Was there internet ban in US I was unaware of? Or a widespread belief in exceptionalism?
I saw the Wikipedia article. The number isn't properly sourced, but it's believable enough. The closest attribution is this journalistic article[1], which doesn't have the number. It also refers to the dwindling relevance in the past decades, which I was thinking of rather than going back a century. I'll let DeepL translate:

However, what sounds pleasing from the point of view of the student fraternities is different on the bottom line. "Despite the new admissions we have a minus of about 200 members per year", says CV managing director Weiskorn. This is due to the fact that the vast majority of members are older academics, some of whom die every year. This development is in line with the long-term trend that can be observed overall among the student fraternities: "According to information from the cross-corporate mergers CDA and CDK, the number of fraternity members declined significantly between 1997 and 2009," says political scientist Kurth. "This downward spiral is accompanied by a massive loss of importance." Less than one percent of all students are now organized in corporations.

It's worth mentioning that most fraternities don't duel. Dueling fraternities are the reactionary minority of a conservative minority.

Modern solar panels and high efficiency GHP, are getting upto a point where it's comparable to the heat you get from direct sunlight. So I don't think it's far off that we see green houses heated purely by solar energy, with the added benefit of being energy sink during low demand (night) and energy source during demand (day).
Geothermal heating is possible in most places even without volcanos or hot springs that Iceland has. The temperature of soil just 0.5m under the surface is almost constant over the year, and soil due to huge thermal mass can act as an excellent free heat reservoir during the winter. All you need is a sufficiently large area of land to burrow your heat exchanger pipes, and a simple ventilation system (that can easily be solar powered).
I can't tell if you're joking or not. Why would I delete the source code of every program after writing it?
"I want to be able to tell it to randomize result orders."

That would be a pretty fun feature, I've never seen anyone mention that before.
That is not question. That is easy to figure out public information.
> Even without that, an unbiased person would at the very least be equally sceptical to both.

Unless you know someone who recovered after taking the drug.
I've only hacked on GIMP a small bit, so I'm no means an authority, but the sad truth is that GIMP is an extremely small project driven mostly by volunteers. There is a desire to correct these issues but there are many, many other issues to prioritize them against. It's been a very infrequent occurrence for them to have the resources to work with UI/UX designers. I'm not trying to dismiss your complaints, but I think you would see some better results if you didn't wait for someone else to fix it for you. My only suggestion is that GIMP actually has very complete Python/Scheme scripting interfaces that can be used to make a lot of little UI tweaks, although the APIs are not well-documented.

>they do things their way, not the way users want or are already familiar with

In my experience, a program that has never had a feature removed (or unintentionally broken) is an exception, not the rule. It takes a lot of effort to keep things working over the years, and if there is no will to maintain that, then those things will disappear.
Cost saving?

The instance of the class isn’t destroyed every render... you can keep other state on it too that is persisted between renders, changing it just won’t trigger a render.
Art always changes, and art critics always complain when it does, and complain when it doesn't. Illustration is simply art on a shoestring. No one is able to afford a Normal Rockwell or hire David Hockney given publishing makes so little revenue today, so finding a way to make a graphical point quickly is no less an artistic achievement. Technology allows today things that no artist from the past could do, and there is no reason to not take advantage of it. At one point painting with oils was new, painting in many colors was new, printing in color was new, even thinking of art in the abstract was new; so art changes to take advantage.

To support your point, I grew up in a poor urban area, and over 30% of the gifted kids didn’t graduate. Another 30% developed addiction or had teen pregnancies. Being poor is much more disadvantaged than being smart is advantageous.

On the SSD side we have DRAMless and TLC.

The annoying thing is that unless the government forces disclosure, the honest manufacturers are the ones hurt, having to start advertising "no SMR!" to differentiate, like the organic/health food products in the grocery store that have to list all the poisons they don't have.
I don’t blame anyone for opting for the numerical solution, but yes: a solution by analysis would be impressive.

Perhaps it could be done with the parabolic antenna solution with a frame of reference change, to account for the acceleration due to gravity?
FancyZones is great! Already a huge enhancement to the normal windows snapping.

However, it only solves the window placing problem, not the window navigation problem. I would love to navigate with something like SUPER + LEFT/RIGHT, similar to i3. Currently the only possible way is to (CTRL)+ALT+TAB, which completely lacks window layout context and changes order depending on recent uses.
Set `this.foobar` to something in a React class and you’ll see it persist between renders.

Lack of stimulus —> brain goes rummaging around in the attic
I think a hard part with lots of these “what do I use x for” examples is it starts with the tool and the discusses the problem that it solves. I find it more helpful to start with a problem, and discuss the various tools that address it, in different ways.

Forget email, say you have a app that scans links in comments for maliciousness. You rely on an internal api for checking against a known blacklist, which follows shortened links first, and an external api from a third party. You want the comment to appear to submit instantly to the poster but are comfortable waiting for it to appear for everyone else. What are your options?

You could certainly use message queues and workers. If you’re cloud native maybe you leverage lambdas. Maybe you spin up an independent service that does the processing and inserting into the database in the background, and all you need to do is send a simple HTTP request on an internal network.

Your solution depends on your throughout requirements, the size of your team and their engineering capabilities, what existing solutions you have in place. Everything has its pros and cons. Pretending that celery/redis is useless and would be solved if everyone just used Java ignores the fact that celery and redis are widely popular and drive many successful applications and use cases.

This is the case in many places outside of the US as well, as far as I can tell. The included extension cord (C5?) was grounded at least for my last MacBook years ago, but they provide a non-grounded connector probably because it's less bulky (easier to design as a folding mechanism) and more universal (especially in continental Europe where the two-prong is nearly universal and the third prong is far from that).

It's also not just Apple. Lower wattage Lenovo chargers (including ThinkPad) have two-prong adapters and plugs.
