This is like asking "is a relationship code for abuse?"

A relationship done poorly can be abusive. Similarly, public private partnerships done poorly can lead to enrichment of politically connected cronies. But that is not the only way.
> Do you want your code to run as if it was written by hand (i.e. duplicated by hand)? Then monomorphization is best.

That's not always true because monomorphization where the vast majority of the object code is the same in all actual cases means bloating the text of the program, which means putting pressure on the Icache, which means more cache misses, which... is slow.

Prime movers and fuels also.

Both the automobile and airplane ... took off ... atvirtually the same moment, once petroleum-based fuels and reciprocating, Otto-cycle engines existed. Power-to-weight matters more for aircraft, but it's a critical problem for both, along with range (fuel capacity) and reliability.

Body design and aerodynamics aren't the only issue. Though also a bigger problem for aircraft.

Materials (duraluminium), controls, aerodynamic theory, infrastructure (airports, navigation, traffic control, safety standards, incident investigations, etc.), are other key elements.

Then came gas turbines. Auto engineers tried to apply them but they weren't a good fit.
Isolation both physically and mentally.

As a serial entrepayneur in Saas and a degreed software architect I find little disruption and absolute silence a great benefit to be able to create in the confines and silence of my home. I have been working remote partially since dialup and full remote in the last 10 years. One must self motivate and while I can say that easily since my efforts result in my own success working for someone else is likely more difficult if you need constant feedback and oversight.

Stay Healthy!

Agile as it is practiced has created a new set of roles, like "scrum master". However, if not agile, that role would probably be called "project manager", another role that female engineers are often pushed toward.

Also, clean rooms are designed to keep dust out of the Fab. They are positive pressure rooms versus a virus lab which would be negative pressure rooms to keep material inside the lab. Similarly with protective suits. I.e. in the Fab they don't care if anything enters the clean suit you are wearing - just that nothing leaves it. In a virus lab it would be a positive pressure suit.
The fascinating thing for me, reading this thread, is how smart people are tripping over themselves to justify obvious nonsense. It’s really amazing to watch this in real time.
When something develops to an extreme, it becomes its opposite. This is true for "agile". Agile has become synonymous with "Jira", which is a direct contradiction of its original premise. The original "Agile Manifesto" states: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools, Working software over comprehensive documentation, Customer collaboration over contract negotiation, Responding to change over following a plan. Ask somebody these days what agile means and they'll tell you "Jira" or some other tool combined with heavy process. Another example of people confusing the means for the end itself.
Again, you're fighting a strawman.

The only alternative to Agile isn't Waterfall. The right alternative is probably something entirely new.
>> It increases genetic diversity in the pool of offspring. That diversity could then raise the fitness of future generations by making them stronger, faster, more resistant to parasites or otherwise more adaptable

Probably off topic, but I didn't know this was not a commonly accepted explanation. When I went to school (maybe middle school) in Vietnam in the early 90s, I was taught this. My biology teacher said this explains why marriage between closed relatives is not recommended because it leads to less diversity, and a bad gene would have chance to manifest.

Do you recall the last time a head of state discussed on live TV the usefulness of bathing in the reactor pool of a live nuclear reactor to cure cancer? I don't.

On average, people are bad at office work too
After years of working remotely, my only argument against remote work is that it requires that your direct team members also be working in the same manner to be most effective. It's all or nothing if you want it to work long-term.

Whenever you have a case where some team members work in an office together, and others work remotely - it creates undue stress on personal relationships. Even if your team makes a great effort to be inclusive, there will always be times (lunches especially) where important conversations will happen in-person, and the remote person will be left out. In the worst case scenario, it can lead to being intentionally left out of even important technical conversations (Example: I had a remote coworker on a sibling team who scheduled a meeting about a technical architecture issue he wanted to have input on. The in-person team didn't show up to the call, but then had the meeting in person without him and told him the outcome of the decision.) The remote workers will end up feeling hobbled from a relationship building standpoint - and their growth opportunities will feel limited.

Those issues can be easily avoided by keeping teams either all-remote, or all-in-person. When you are in an all-remote team, everyone is on the same level communication-wise. So you'll see real effort go into using slack and other tools to build up comaraderie. With a mixed setup, that effort is usually asymmetric - causing the remote workers to bond and develop trust with other remote workers, but not with the in-person teams.

This is kinda part of the promise of regular expressions, context-free grammars, relational algebra, map-reduce and other stream/pipeline-based programming models, and maybe to some extent P-complete things like convex optimizers and programming models based on horn clauses like datalog.

Each of these things aims to allow the user to specify a task in a restricted model of computation. In turn, it tends to be possible for the engineer writing the solver to build an engine capable of very radical transformations, optimizations, and analyses, that generally can't be matched by compilers and interpreters for Turing-complete programming languages.

Lack of engagement is the strongest argument I can think of.

Immersion in problems is a really cheap way for product managers, engineering leads, and data scientists to engage with problems. When you're in office it's easier to get that engagement, thereby getting business-relevant exposure and feedback on your work.

Remote work can also confound lack of skill for communication difficulties (another form of lack of engagement). One of the weakest leads I've ever worked with was remote. He was ineffectual and effectively invisible to execs, except when they wondered why his team wasn't delivering more value.
Interesting device. would be great if this supported odd formats like this one does: https://www.vesalia.de/e_catweaselmk4.htm
So. Hear me out. I had my eyes opened a little bit last weekend. I was going through leadership substitutes theories and spatial distance from leader ( or manager ) is listed as one of the neutralizers. Naturally, it is not an argument management would openly make, but all of a sudden I understood why they were so unwilling to make remote happen. It undermines them.

'It says that #Masks4All claims cloth masks are 96% effective. I've never heard that. We always claim...'

Author of the article here: this is from the masks4all.co website: 'If you have COVID-19 and cough on someone from 8 inches away, wearing a cotton mask will reduce the amount of virus you transmit to that person by 36 times...'

A 36-fold reduction is equivalent to a 96% reduction.
it will require a bit more effort for sure, but teaching (not training, we are not puppies) is hard anyway, even if you are an awesome teacher
No. An arithmetic shift right does a division that rounds down; an integer division operation instead truncates (rounds to zero). The easiest example is -1 / 2: -1 / 2 is 0, but -1 ashr 1 is -1.

To replace a signed division with ashr, you have to know that for all negative inputs, the value of the bits shifted out are all 0.
While I agree with not "blaming" people for the mistake as if it's their fault as a person. I disagree with all of his reasoning and the action he choose not to do in this case.

I also take the position of "criticizing the idea/code, not the people" when it comes to other people's work. I rarely have a problem with criticizing myself.

Especially when it comes to "your" own code. You should be able to apologize for your mistake.

> It reinforces the idea that any one person or piece of code can be blamed for a given failure. Short of malice, this is never the case.

You can be attributed to your action. If you can be attributed to the good things in your work, then you can be attributed to bugs. Unless you are claiming that you have no control what so ever about how your code turns out, at which point, what are the different from you and a typewriter?

The thing is, you can be attributed for an instance of error. You can be blamed for the error you did. But you should never be categories as "the error".

> It gives the impression that, when you wrote the code, you should have written it better. This is a counterfactual that rarely holds up to examination.

Yes. There are instances that I could have written it better.

> It positions shame as the correct emotion to feel about bugs in your code: if you were a better engineer – a better teammate – the bug wouldn’t exist.

> If you’re a more senior engineer on your team, the effects of these anti-patterns are magnified: people see you apologizing for bugs, so they think that they should be striving to write bug-free code. They may feel ashamed if their code has bugs.

I take the approach and culture of "be strict with yourself but be kind to others". When I talks about other people's bug I always criticize the bugs itself and talks about problem and process in general without tying it to them. But when I talked about my code, I will also express what I could have done better or what is the pros and cons of my coding decision.

The thing is there's different between people striving to better themselves, and people blaming others for not being better.

You should strive to be better, while at the same times not being a snob or looking down on other for not being perfect.

In every day's life there's no permanently good people or bad people. There's bad action that people do. You should still be able to attribute a certain instance of event to a person. You just don't have to hold grudge and judge them forever based on it.

I am probably reaching it here, but I feel that the author is the kind of person that can't take criticism of his idea well because he feel that his idea is himself.

Your idea and action is yours. But your idea and action is not who you are. If you think it is yourself, then you become blindly defensive and either never acknowledge that you did it, like the author did, or never change.

Amazon is not nearly at the same level of ecommerce dominance, let alone retail dominance, that Microsoft was in dominance in computing in the time period you're talking about.
> Women dominated computing professions from their inception in the 1940s all the way through the 1960s. As the scope of computers’ usefulness became clearer, however, those jobs started going to men.

Bullshit. Back then, the term "programmer" didn't mean what it means today. A "programmer" was someone who entered a program into a computer, or even earlier, plugged in wires according to a schematic. The actual development of the program was almost exclusively done by men, even more so than today (this is not supposed to be a value judgement, nor do I want to justify the situation back then or today).

It's really disappointing to see this tired myth of a supposed "Golden Age of women in computer science" repeated in the article.

There's nothing "undercounted" about the confirmed cases number. To be confirmed, one must be tested and to be tested one must seek medical attention. People are encouraged not to seek medical attention unless it is necessary. There is even a nationwide advice nurse number that people are instructed to call in order to screen them before they do so.

They aren't claiming that the number of confirmed cases is that number of people who have or have had the virus, which is something they've pointed out in several of the press conferences, it's just the number of confirmed cases.

The difference you're seeing is the difference in conditions under which people get tested.

You acknowledge that the President speaks in "barely coherent" sentences. And that he's not very intelligent.

That's the real problem, here. That's the real story.

If we view the media's role as nothing more than taking Trump's drivel and turning it into teachable moments or trying to find a positive spin on it, not only does it basically position the media as a PR arm of whomever the current administration is, by doing so it fails in its duty to inform the public about what is actually going on in the White House, and what the President is actually saying.

A key role of the fourth estate is to hold the President to account. That is incompatible with your view that they need to be a booster of the President in the name of "intelligence" or elevation of the dialogue.

Edit: I will also add that I see now that Trump is claiming that his talk yesterday of UV light and injecting disinfectants was "sarcasm".
People in the US seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding on what constitutes a monopoly. I have seen numerous people say that Apple is a monopoly despite having less than 20% market share.

Amazon isn't anywhere near a monopoly. There are many HUGE competitors in the retail and online retail space. Walmart, Costco, Shopify, Target, Best Buy, Newegg, Home Depot, Lowes, Macy's, Staples, Alibaba, CVS, and dozens more.
That's not an understanding, it's an observation and a very preliminary hypothesis for one of the major immediate causes of death. Huge difference.

Because of all the additional attention, it would be unsurprising for doctors to seemingly discover all kinds of previously unexamined phenomenon which have always been present, or to confuse increases in certain phenomenon as peculiar rather than simply reflecting the fact that you have a ton of patients with the same type of illness. For example, in one of the articles about blood clots a doctor is quoted as saying something to the effect of, "we're used to seeing these types of blood clots in the ICU, but only in 1 or 2 patients at a time, never in this number". For the sake of argument, maybe that's just because they've never had an entire ICU full of patients in viral-induced acute respiratory distress, that such blood clots happen to be more prevalent in such cases, and if you examined all such ICU patients over time (COVID, flu, w'ever), you'd see a similar pattern. (Because it's usually the elderly who die from respiratory infections, not alot of attention is paid to mechanisms of death. "Pneumonia" is something of a catch-all term, especially with an older cohort.) Maybe it's typical of anything that can incite such immune reactions--the article hinted that the mechanism may be related to how Ebola works, except with opposite outcomes (clots instead of bleeding out), which suggests the mechanism might be more a reflection of the severity of the distress than anything peculiar to the infectious agent, per se. Maybe younger cohorts are more likely to clot, but before COVID-19 they rarely died or had such severe symptoms, so nobody quantified prevalence. And if so, treating the clots might not significantly reduce fatality rates; or maybe it would, not just for COVID-19 but any similar viral ailment.
Debunking the Myth of China’s AI Superiority
All those questions are answered on github in what probably is the smallest (as a feature, not a flaw) MMO system codebase in existence. Short answer is I made my own HTTP server from scratch with distributed database over HTTP and everything runs on top of that. Sharding on separate machines is not interesting because the whole point is to play together, no matter how; you always want to be connected somehow. Larger teams separate the services and it becomes really complex. I want to be able to develop and maintain a massive MMO on my own so I had to improvise.

That said, I made a subreddit for the topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/mmodev/ it's kinda empty now but hopefully people will contribute eventually.
There are two NYC studies with likely over-sampling phenomena:

- the NYC antibody study one you mention, done at shopping centers, indeed likely over-represents people going out. 20%-21% of that population has antibodies.

- the SARS-CoV-2 testing study with pregnant women [1], tested just before delivery. Among those, 13% tested positive. It is reasonable to expect that this study over-represents subjects that barely go out: pregnant women to go out as little as possible to protect themselves and their future baby.

Because the sampling over-representation is opposite in the two studies, the truth is likely in between. in terms of antibodies, it is likely that the pregnant women that tested positive weeks ago have now developed antibodies or will do so in the next 1-2 weeks. Among pregnant women, the 13% also ignores women that had already developed antibodies before delivery; another phenomenon that may push the truth above 13%.

Neil Postman makes the argument for an older book, "Brave New World", in "Amusing Ourselves to Death",

"""

But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell's dark vision, there was another — slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley's vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Huxley added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.
