Personally, I think we're going to look back at this very differently than how it looks right now. If the studies showing the number of people that had it and built immunity without ever showing symptoms are correct, well, it'll be interesting to see what happens next time this comes up.

But, that's the larger point I think... Next time.

Let's say this ends up being way better than anyone modeled, it's great practice for a virus that actually has a 5%, or 10%, or etc fatality rate.
Especially since the upstream project appears to be GPL-licensed. Sure, they could have contacted the original developer and obtained a different license, but why would they do that? As far as we can tell, it looks like a breach of the license.
American perspective here: I've noticed in the last 3 to 5 days a pretty sharp decline in public opinion on lockdown, regardless of case counts and best principles.
Because a lot of people will be dead by the time we get to ~70% immunity.
Smaller companies generally can't "pretend to be FANG" because the very best people don't want to work there, they want to work at FANG where they can get paid 90th percentile compensation (you already know this; check levels.fyi -- it's pretty staggering how high senior engineers get paid in all-cash liquid total compensation at these companies). If you are a top software engineer, why would you sacrifice 60-80 hours per week of your time and not get duly compensated for it?
Once more a reminder that we are lucky to have the CCC in Germany.

Another useful topic to understand that's related to this: Hamiltonian Mechanics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics), which is a whole other way to express what Newton described with his physics, but in pure energetic terms.

Entropy is usually poorly taught, there's really three entropies that get convoluted. The statistical mechanics entropy, which is the math to describe random distribution of ideal particles. There's Shannon's entropy, which is for describing randomness in strings of characters. And there's classical entropy, which is to describe the fraction of irreversible/unrecoverable losses to heat as a system transfers potential energy to other kinds of energy on its way towards equilibrium with its surroundings or the "dead state" (which is a reference state of absolute entropy).

These are all named with the same word, and while they have some relation with each other, they are each different enough that there should be unique names for all three, IMO.
The path to herd immunity includes a lot of death.
Also, for me, how all these advances in ML/computing are alleged to be on the horizon, when I hear that A/D/C(NN)s are actually so slow in learning. How can something that has to be trained with 1M of <xyz> be smart? What's the next thing?

For years I thought I was crazy or stupid, whenever I heard this story of "air has to go faster" I was like "but how does air know?? It's not like it has a Google maps plan telling it it needs to reach the other end of the wing at a precise time!"

By chance, in the last few years I've started reading more and more comments debunking this absurd explanation. Not that I understand perfectly now, but at least I know I'm not crazy.

Sort of "webkit for email", that would be interesting... The problem is finding a decent monetization model.

Btw, we kinda had something like that: Lotus Notes and MS Exchange, originally, were abstract document stores. In theory, anyone could have built custom views that behaved as you wished, while the platform took care of email fetching and synchronizing. Unfortunately, both Lotus (later IBM) and Microsoft saw those platforms as lock-in instruments in a push for vertical dominance, so they had no incentive but to push their own clients.
I don't understand that kind of thing: the government is presumably elected by the people. Why would the people want the government to fight a business that they could voluntarily avoid, without any government intervention whatsoever?

I mean the government represents what the people want. The people apparently want to buy at local businesses, rather than at Amazon. Why don't they simply do it?

Or if they actually DO want to shop at Amazon, why would they want the government to prevent them from doing it?
Has IBM built a product around this? I don’t know of one.

They'd rather not (and I agree) have the accompanying death toll that comes with getting to herd immunity by having lots of people get infected.

Don't think if it as a monolith. It's more like thousands of microservices and thousands of different binaries all interacting in a whole bunch of different and convoluted ways. Sexual reproduction is jumbling together two different people's thousands of microservices and seeing what happens. Or, each program is relying one library, imagine just randomly mixing around different libraries. Genes and proteins are discrete parts that can be swapped out and in.

That is not correct. The parent has it right. The output is in fact sorted by the second field; it is not random.

> Each expression can be the name or ordinal number of an output column (SELECT list item), or it can be an arbitrary expression formed from input-column values.

> The ordinal number refers to the ordinal (left-to-right) position of the output column. This feature makes it possible to define an ordering on the basis of a column that does not have a unique name. This is never absolutely necessary because it is always possible to assign a name to an output column using the AS clause.

When it comes to recognizing patterns in programming and such, I have a couple questions:

* did you ever go to college for programming? if not, a lot of the 'patterns' people see were beaten into their heads in college, so that's something that can be helped :)

* have you ever done competitive programming, like TopCoder problems (the old ones. Last I checked, TopCoder has gotten WAY over my head and probably a lot of other people's heads, too)?

Doing programming problems can be a great way to flex those muscles and see common patterns in code and problems you need to solve. It might be able to really help you :)

Topcoder is the one a lot of people know, but there's others out there. I kinda liked this one, and it's used as a recruiting tool, too: https://app.codility.com/programmers/
> Register your domain, install wordpress, start your own blog.

And then have 0 people read your blog because it’s on your random domain.

Maybe your strategy works for well known bloggers, but tweeting content that people actually read beats owning content that nobody reads. And it is much harder to get people to visit your self-hosted blog than it is to get them to read your tweets.
In fact that "air has to go faster" silliness only works if you completely neglect air friction entirely, because then the air can be said to part around the wing like butter around a hot knife.

But of course anyone who's seen snow billowing off the back of a car knows that air doesn't just close up behind the object like a ziplock bag: it's messy and turbulent and gets all over your windows while you're tailgating.
It would be pretty boring, proteins bouncing around randomly and occasionally honking up, substrates flying around like rifle bullets sometimes hitting the target, and everything smooshing around in random directions. If you’ve seen Brownian motion, you’ve seen what is happening to all the molecules but at 1/100 the length scale. Nothing stays put. Everything is moving fast and far on the scale of proteins and small molecules.
The prediction is not based on suppression but mitigation, thus we are outside the model.

But for now suppression is holding steady in the US and UK. With current rates projected out for 18 months being lower than the predicted mitigation strategy.

That said, there seems to be significant pressure to reopen, so we are likely to experience the mitigation strategy starting in a few months.
Worse is certain code audits will find code that matches, and you have to sit in hours of discussions explaining why no in fact, that's not a copy, it's just basically the only way to escape quotes or call that library function or iterate all lines in a text file.

Even worse is if the developer included a comment linking to the Stack Overflow answer as a citation, which makes it look like copy and paste (maybe it even was), yet still is the code anyone would write independently.

Even square footage isn't a perfect metric for cross-national comparison. For example, furniture in Japan (at places like Nitori) is often designed for smaller spaces. When I lived there, a $300 couch fit[1] perfectly in my living room, while it would've looked hilariously undersized in any North American house. I was more comfortable in that apartment, approx 480 sqft, than I was in a 1000 sqft apartment I had in North America

> you feel like cattle pretty much every time of the day

First of all this is not true, so I would start questioning whether you know what you're talking about at all, or whether you're not trying to have an informed conversation based on facts.

Outside of peak rush hours, roughly between 8-9 in the morning and 6-7 in the evening, and mostly on a few well-known lines, it is extremely unlikely for trains to be anywhere close to "packed". Let alone making you feel "like cattle". This kinda already undermines your point.

It is true though that during those peak times, on those lines, the system is over capacity. And this is where working for a company that has flexible working hours and that allows work from home helps tremendously. While this is still not widespread, there are active policy campaigns to push more businesses to enact the same measures - exactly to ease congestion in those peak times. So the problem is not structural, and there is a clear direction that can improve things.

Furthermore, even today with some planning and knowledge you can avoid the worst of the congestion (see my point about reach in my first comment).

Anyway, to answer your question: no, I don't enjoy packed subways, as I don't enjoy being stuck in traffic, or being robbed at gunpoint. But to me (your question asked whether "_I_ enjoy packed subways") it really does not matter, because both are things that I normally do not experience.
Interesting -- didn't know it did this
My understanding is that most jurisdictions, but certainly California and Washington state have two types of property tax levies. 'Ad valorem' aka by value, which is a percentage of assessed value (one flat rate for all parcels, not progrssive), and per parcel taxes which is just a specific dollar amount added to each separate parcel.

There's some state by state adjustments to try to benefit owner occupied properties, but the degree to which it helps varies greatly; the California owner occupied exemption saves abou $70/year in taxes (woo?). I'm not aware of progressive property taxes, but there's a lot of different jurisdictions.
I don't think SQL is particularly crufty, but I'm willing to admit that's highly debatable -- depends on your definition of "crufty," really.

However, the examples in the linked article are not examples of cruft.

I'm using this example of "cruft":

Cruft is a jargon word for anything that
is left over, redundant and getting in the
way. It is used particularly for defective,
superseded, useless, superfluous, or dysfunctional
elements in computer software.

Nearly all of the examples in the linked article are based on core SQL sorting and grouping concepts (with a sprinkle of trivalue NULL logic) that have been around since Day One.

I also don't think they really illustrate flaws/gotcha/etc in SQL itself. Nor were they meant to, I don't think... these highly pathological examples are examples of the sorts of pathologically ambiguous things a compiler needs to handle, but are not representative of anything I've seen in 20+ years of real world SQL experience.
It’s not so much the exact number as the approximate order of magnitude.

For anyone living in one of the equivalent world cities (say, NyC, London, Shanghai, Paris, San Fran- you may quibble with me in the exact list but you know what I mean) these prices aren’t even remotely plausible.

(The one possible exception might be Berlin but that info could be dated)
There's an argument to be made that if nearly all building just barely meet the legal requirements, then the legal requirements are too steep because we haven't found the bottom.

Important anekdote, since I live in Belgium and a lot of people ( eg a president) are not aware of it.

Contrary to popular believe, we are not doing that bad.

The only difference is, is that we also count "suspected" cases instead of confirmed cases. Which causes a bigger number of cases versus other countries.

As a concrete example, that means 2264 confirmed cases versus the 4400 in the statistics

Is that new construction like in TFA?

$300k for new construction is ludicrously cheap for most coastal California cities. I was told to budget $150-250k for permits when I considered buying land and building my own house in Santa Barbara.

Both my current and my previous house would be illegal to build today because they are too large (even though both houses comfortably fit the frontage requirements, there is an additional X square feet of livable space per Y square feet of lot; in all R-1 zones, the calculation is such that a single-story house can usually hit the dwelling-space limit, so most 2 story houses in town would be illegal to build today).
Open-source sucks at UX. I think because there's no community behind open-source UX like there is in the inner workings of systems, where people just want to get shit done..
