I can not for the love of me understand why people are so apologetic for this asshole. It's pretty clear he's senile and mean and petty and has a fragile ego. He has similar thoughts and outbursts I would have had when I was 5 years old. It just can't wrap my head around this.

It's not like these people go around and make up excuses for everybody who says something silly.

I'm... At a loss what is going on.
Question from a perf noob: it seems like this in principle only shows that there's no difference for a Pixel 3 because other Android machines could have processors that have/lack an optimization for shift or divide. Couldn't a different Android phone have different performance characteristics?

I'm a Dutchie, and I can't speak about the EU market as a whole, but as any European that travels around a bit, I have the following ranking in terms of lifestyle/pay:

1. Switzerland (90k or higher + mountains if you're willing to drive a bit)

2. Luxembourg (I just remember you get paid quite a bit)

3. Berlin (alright pay, low living costs, amazing city)

4. England + Scandinavia + The Netherlands (didn't look into Scandinavia enough but in most cases they're on par or a bit better than The Netherlands)

Englang is on #4, because while the pay is better, society seems to be more screwed. University is more expensive, the welfare system sucks more (compared to most of the other countries in this list, Scandinavia being Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland).

Take this with a grain of salt, do your own research of course.

Countries that I wouldn't want to go to:

1. Eastern Europe

2. Southern Europe

The pay is too low.

The thing is: higher pay is always better, even when living costs are always, let's say 50% in any country. The more money you safe, the more you can utilize it for geo-arbitraging strategies later on in life.
The flaw I see with your counter-argument is the assertion that people must die for the pandemic to have long-term effects. I don't necessarily agree. Covid19 does absolutely affect young people at high enough rates to cause a devastating labor shortage. They might survive, but if factories, militaries, and police forces suffer the temporary loss of 50% of their workers during the same six month period, that could be bad. Political groups could capitalize on the weakened state of the situation and permanently change society.

We already have outbreaks at major food factories. These people may not be dying, but they aren't working and getting temporary workers is going to be difficult.

Herd immunity might not even be possible.
Other coronavirus immunity lasts on average a year. There are other viruses like HIV where you can't get herd immunity.

No, that's not how it works. There are plenty of people who have had and do have symptoms but have not been counted. Seeking care and getting counted is a last resort here.

If you should meet Agile along the road, destroy it!
A Simple DataScience and Pyhton Django Project
Using data science with the machine learning technique it is possible to predict many situations, however, it is necessary to deliver faster value, so effectively I took an example of a risk classification analogy, I took a classic Kaggle Titanic dataset, a data science, and machine learning platform, to answer the following question (opportunity):

Would I survive if I was a passenger on the Titanic?

Thinking that I created a simple binary classification solution with Machine Learning. after I tested a lot of statistics models the best scores were the Random Forest this model is a decision tree model and also created a Web Page with Django and Python to get the data from may passengers "you and me" and know if we would survive or died, please, take a look and give me a feedback, you thinking it's important to my project and knowledge.

Well in a normal winter, people are driven inside places full of other people. In a coronavirus "winter", people simply stop going anywhere or associating with anyone they don't already live with.
I'd have thought it would be the opposite. People use public transport instead of walking in the cold, people stay inside pubs and bars instead of spreading out outside.
No, elaborate insistence on repentance rituals, shaming, and ideologies of "personal responsibility" over systems thinking and data driven improvement is all about ego.
Then I think we should rename it from "mortgage" to "student loans". As long as they keep making minimum payments, this is technically fine.
Can we just replace agile, and every modern management practice with some mix of common sense, talking to the customer, talking to the team, and being able to voice concerns to upper management where people actually listen instead of running their own agenda? =]
System76 just released the lemur pro:

https://system76.com/laptops/lemur

You can option it up to 40GB of ram, it comes with a banging CPU and it weighs less than a macbook air. System76 makes sure that PopOS and Ubuntu both work flawlessly with their hardware.

I bought one the day it was released to replace my Carbon X1 (gen 6) and it has been perfect. In particular for me, USB-C charging + monitor works flawlessly when I disconnect and reconnect, and the power button is on the side, which is great because I use my laptop as a workstation most of the time.

Highly recommended if you want a linux machine.
Overall, in deaths per million Sweden is ahead of the US as well.
Oh, I mean, I'm pretty sure he's both, but Occam's Razor says that this particular bit of nonsense is coming from the dumb side.
Also important to consider what it's being valued in. The USD index is based on a basket of several other currencies, for example. Finding an objective comparison point to determine what is pegged to Things of Real Value to Most Humans is multivariable to say the least. Gold seems to be more stable over the long-term with regards to things like houses, suits, food staples and such.
At the same time there are companies in which there's R code running in production to serve ML results in real time. No idea how common it is, but I've worked for such a company. My point is that R isn't just for scripting and interactive use even if that's its best use case.
Well said. I was reading the responses, and seeing the implicit group consensus on what "success" looks like.

The thing though is, your entire life outcome is based on luck. There is nothing you can really do to compensate for that, besides getting back up, brushing the dust of your knees, counting your blessings and keep going.

List of things that are luck:

1) Where you were born in the wrong place at the wrong time. (think Afghanistan, North Korea, Venezuela, etc.)

2) Being born the wrong gender in the majority of the world by population (ie female).

3) Being born with the wrong sexual orientation in a huge chunk of the world.

4) Being born with a health condition (physical or mental), or with a learning disability. Even a mild one like ADHD or dyslexia.

5) Being born to the wrong set of parents. ie. belonging to the wrong community/religion/race... in the majority of the world.

Honestly, even your mental capacity and grit are to a large extent (if not completely) luck. If developed via nurture, you didn't pick how you were nurtured. If nature, you didn't pick the genetic combination you were born with.

So really, what is left? What percentage of your 'success' can you actually take credit for?
Sure, for a kid in third grade. But any grown up should know that UV is somehow linked to skin cancer and that disinfectants have those strange scary warning symbols on them, indicating they are rather unsafe things to use inside bodies.

I mean, happy for him to have those discussions with the experts (as long as it's not me sitting there), but do not do this on live TV.
So it's important to note, the CDC does NOT track influenza. I cannot believe how many people are getting this wrong. They track pneumonia deaths. (They do track flu for infants fatalities, but that's a very specific tracking metric that can indicate very bad outbreaks).

In 2017/2018, we saw 50k ~ 60k pneumonia deaths. They then go back retroactively and estimate flu (in 2019, it was 20k to 60k).

So yes, we're past 50k COVID-19 deaths, but we're comparing three months on something that has an exponential growth and taper to a yearly average. It's not a good comparison.

If at the end of the year, COVID-19 deaths are at 70k, you could say it was 20k more than flu .. but keep in mind, the CDC is assigning everything as COVID-19 right now, and New York retroactively added 3,000 suspected deaths, leading to that bizarre one day spike.

> I see the same in software. We sometimes have interns whip up some system that on the surface looks good and innovative and makes the old timers look bad and unimaginative. But once you try to deploy them they usually fall apart because they ignored some inconvenient real world details.

You’ve criticized the article but ended up reaching essentially the same conclusion. Having interns spin up a new feature which can later be tidied up and put into production is a great use of time. Interns are cheap, less busy, see things that more jaded people may not, and are liable to be less risk averse too. If you take what the interns build and put it directly into production, that’s on you, but the interns may be able to get you 80% of the way there in half the time.

People who can't stand Trump have taken the bait. Deplorable is not a popular word anymore but the reaction to the President's inconsequential meandering does, happily for some, imply that Trump fans are gullible, poor and idiotic.
> I'm not fan of Trump, but the attacks on him over this and hydroxychloroquine are ridiculous.

Even without going into the absurdity of any of his specific claims, he should not be standing at a podium spitballing and speculating about potential treatments that he may or may not have heard about. Kind of the opposite of what is required from a leader during a crisis, and the impacts of doing so can actually be pretty devastating.
21st century IBM is effectively a labor arbitrage firm. They buy labor in low cost countries and sell it in high cost countries. They are not the platform tech company they were in the 60s to the 80s. Labor arbitrage can be a good business, but there is much more competition than in platform technology. The competition constrains both profits and growth.
FWIW: 'Promising' is a pretty accurate paraphrase of “I think that’s a great thing to look at", which is what the NY Times quotes him as saying.

That has absolutely not been my impression, but they're probably both matters of perspective - who we talk to, what sources we read, and so on. To the extent that people do think of it as an alternative, that makes me sad.
They do this horror show where they pick them green and then store them for too long, after which they ripen them with ethylene gas and sell them.

I think it happened to Fuji and Gala sometime in the last 5 years. Honeycrisp still doesn't have the volume, so it goes to market without the horror show and is thus still crisp and delightful.
I'm not sure how Vietnam ended up on your list but I'm pretty sure they have been testing pretty extensively, and more importantly, much earlier than most other countries.
To agree with you, It's even more complex than even you outline, too. Wealth is, imo, a relative profit and cost of living expense calculation, regardless of how much you make. Ultimately it doesn't matter where you live or how much you make, you can be living paycheck to paycheck in almost any scenario.

There are definitely subtleties, like how feasible it would be for you to reduce expenses while keeping your income the same. Life.. gets complicated.

When I think of the very successful people I know, all have gone through life events that would absolutely flatten most people. The loss of a child, a partner committing suicide, 6 businesses failing, 2 weeks in an induced comma.

And yet a stranger looks at their accomplishments and thinks that they just didn't have bad luck.
Macron went and spoke with the researcher to gain additional information. I don't see anything wrong with that. After meeting with the researcher, he did not go on social media and encourage its widespread use.

Trump has taken a very different approach. Trump has prevented a doctor from responding to questions about its use. Trump was actively saying we have no time for tests, lets just use it. It appears he also fired the director of the US health department’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority for not endorsing its use.

To say that meeting with a researcher to gather information is going further than publicly shilling for its use and cracking down on those in his administration who don't advocate for it is going further is very much not accurate.
Sounds great. From the major hardware vendors, I heard only of Dell, to offer laptops with Linux preinstalled. Sadly my personal experience with an Dell XPS was so bad (hardware, quality-wise) that I do not want to buy their hardware again.

The big thing here is not that you don't have to install Linux yourself, but that they care about the driver support. Not having to install a Linux yourself is a nice bonus though.

Damn. That's a real shame. I really like Debian otherwise. It's still minimal to the point where you can understand all the pieces. I used it for years, but then 5 years ago I moved off of it just because it's so easy to get software from PPAs and b/c every instruction is Ubuntu by default. Over those 5 years being a little flexible has ended up saving tons and tons of hour. Even just the other day I wanted to install OpenJDK 14 and ended up having to do it manually. Maintaining that in some directory and having my own update-alternatives entries.. it just feels really yucky at this point

> If I make an off-by-one error, where, other than me, did it come from?

I have seen countless instances, both in and out of software development, where a manager:

1. Explicitly told an employee to rush through a task too quickly, and that some bugs/cleanup/whatever would be OK and handled at a later time.

2. A short time later freaked out because the rushed task was not done perfectly.

Of course only terrible managers behave this way, but there are a lot of terrible managers out there. In these sorts of environments simple errors are often ubiquitous.

Downgrade should “just work” (with help from the team) for stateless services, since the old and new have to coexist during upgrade. However, if you’re pushing out new storage systems, supporting downgrade ends up lowering overall reliability in practice. It takes many times more effort to implement and test the downgrade of every disk layout change than it does to ensure that upgrades will always succeed in practice.
