I find it baffling that a website who's sole purpose is to present "the most beautiful desktop environment" would present low resolution, reduced color screenshots to back the claim.

Grind. Remove your soul from office work and do your side gig as reward. You dint have enough saved for anything. Perhaps ask for some mental health days or switch to part time for a bit until sorted.

Looks like a variety of workloads, but lots of things that can be greatly improved with co-procesors. Like cryptography, image compression, image processing, etc.

Any idea how quickly a well can “stop pumping”? Is it as easy as the push of a button (I kind of doubt it) or as complex as needing a week or longer?
Why not? What's wrong with geekbench?
Hi,
how will the performance be affected if let's say time ticks are not uniform?
“they are either on or off”

This is not true about neither nuclear nor coal.

Nuclear reaction can be slowed down, coal furnace can be used with lower amount of coal at lower temperature.

Nuclear does not need to be turned on or off spontaneously. Nuclear power plant can increase or decrease power smoothly, and that’s practically enough because consumption patterns are easily predicted.

The inflexibility you are describing is nonissue.

High capital cost is. But the largest issue is irrational fears of voters.

Edit: nuclear or coal are not on or off

I can't speak for the man himself but recent evidence from California, the Netherlands and Germany (Heinsberg) suggests that the true number of infections may be underestimated by a factor of 20x-100x, which would drastically push down the fatality rate.

I recently read that the CCP only accepts the top students whereas mostly i see the top students avoiding government bureaucracy in favor of private industry as it is more lucrative and there are not many prestigious positions in public service.

I believe the atmosphere within these institutions isn’t conducive to action either. Put your time in and get your pension. Do nothing and nothing bad will happen, try something big and it might fail and you look worse than everyone who did nothing.

So we need to start offering 300k/yr for middle level public servants just like programmers in California.
Sorry to be a stickler, especially since Eric changed his wording, but your post wasn't within that guideline. You picked a weak interpretation of the quote you were objecting to. There was no inconsistency between "My wife works in biotech in SV and has never heard of him" and what it actually said. If you wanted to refute the quote, something like "My wife works in biotech in SV and that industry has definitely not pivoted to working on covid" would (if true) have fit the bill.

You're right that the GP comment was also bad and that I could have replied there also.

You own shares of the fund. Imagine it's like a company that makes a bad decision and loses all of its money. Maybe it ends up with debts greater than its assets.

Either way, you as an investor lost the entire value of your shares which are now worthless, so $0 is as low as your investment can go. You're not responsible for paying any of the company's debts if they exist.

> I suspect...it was a waterproofing move

I've always assumed it was partially about reliability and partially about saving space, since water-resistant physical buttons are fairly standard components.

The phone needs to have some form of haptic motor anyway, and switching to a virtual button allows them to eliminate a complex moving part - removing one potential point of failure - while freeing up a few cubic millimeters of internal volume.

Anecdotally, the home buttons always seemed to be one of the more fragile parts of an iPhone, to the degree that many people started to use the on-screen assistive touch dialogs to avoid wear and tear.
There are very extensive studies done on non-patentable lifestyle choices/activity/smoking which have had similar results over the last 70 odd years. These include the nurses study [0], the bus drivers/conductors study [1] and also the [2] Farmington heart study. The overarching findings here: maintain a healthy BMI (weight), maintain a healthy blood pressure, be active like 10k steps/day active, don’t eat too much processed foods. This will cut incidence of chronic disease a lot, although there will still be the outlier of a healthy 25/yo runner that does of pancreatic cancer due to genetics bc this is inevitable. This has been known forever, however no one wants to follow it because we have fat and sugar in everything.

Of course if we cared about preventive healthcare in the United States we could also greatly reduce the incidence of chronic disease and free up $$ for actually researching interesting aspects of disease and not just putting out fires.

Last month I read an interesting use-case of AR which helped in setting up air handling systems for newly setup hospitals in China Wuhan by a German technician using AR technology of an Indian start-up here https://www.business-standard.com/article/technology/here-s-...

So yes, I do agree that such specific purpose apps definitely validates and advances a new technology like AR.

I browsed your site and watched the only sample movie you have. For a product claiming automated documentation I guess you are not eating your own dogfood here.

The movie shows no documentation at all except flashing poorly filled API docs which everybody already generates using any doc framework that pulls that from source code comments. The other part of the movie shows options to type documentation and an image that appears when you right click and select UML. The image isn't UML though nor is the movie showing anything on how it was obtained or generated.

I wish you luck but it seems you did not solve the problem yet.
Browsers are limited to using the built-in webkit engine, many default applications are fixed to Apple applications and can not be replaced as the default by a 3rd party app, apps can only be installed from the Apple App Store, support for PWAs is poor, and the UI/UX doesn't provide good discoverability of functionality (This seems to affect most Apple products but for some reason people here seem to think Apple has great user interfaces. For the worse example of this see tvOS.).

Also when switching providers iOS has a habit of sometimes getting into a state where it will refuse to send SMS or MMS messages. This has plagued it over many versions with the only resolution being to wipe the device and not restoring any backups because restoring will then break the functionality again. I know several people who have been hit by this and the support forums are filled with this happening to people.

The latest news is that since version 6 receiving certain email can lead to your phone being compromised even if you don't open the email. Which reminds me of another point. Despite Apple's best efforts there still exists software and/or devices available to governments which can subvert the security protections on iPhones. Also don't forget that time when receiving certain text messages could lock up iPhones.

That is just a short list of a few of the ways iOS is not great. You can argue it is better than some other systems but that still doesn't make it great.

But... they do? Pretty much everything you mentioned is well studied, although a lot of times it’s hard to get conclusive evidence when the effect size is small.
That would be really cool. Will keep an eye out, good luck on your efforts.
Floating point tends to matter for classic 'number crunching' workloads- crypto, media encoding, anything to do with modeling the physical world, image processing, AI.

Phones tend towards 'control flow', e.g. display an interface, accept a user input, communicate with a server, display information... and media decoding & gps both have dedicated hardware.

FP workloads can be incredibly power hungry, so it's fortunate mobile devices mostly manage to avoid them. But any chip with an FP unit is going to shut it off when running integer code.

The Cantillon Effect says:

Making the conversion from/to Map and (keyword) list explicit makes sense, as they have very different access patterns: keyword lists really are not suited for random access unless very small.

And in general Erlang and Elixir have very little automatic type conversions, if any.

But maps and structs are interchangeable, I don't get why using one or the other would make your GenServer code any different. A struct is just a map with an additional field called "__struct__".
On the older iPhones, the home buttons got problems after a couple of years. My old iPhone 4 had this problem. They got unreliable in registering being pushed. I think that’s also the reason it makes sense to not be an actual hardware button. Less moving parts makes it more reliable and it’s more likely to work after many years.
Not sure how you can know that. Lot of support roles probably make less than that.

Serving up a HTML file from disk or generating some dynamic HTML are both trivial to do once. After that, a CDN layer is used to cache the HTTP response, regardless of how it was generated.

Sure if you just want to serve HTML files on every request with a simple file server than static files will be faster, but it'll eventually get overloaded too. The CDN is where the real scaling happens. And using a CDN is far easier than changing the entire backend to a static site.

Also most of the sites that crashed were dynamic applications, not just static pages. Using a static site generator wouldn't solve that problem.
That's because for some reason nobody is putting a nice screen on their tablets! Even Samsung tablets, who sells high-end tablets and I think makes their own screens, look worse when placed next to an iPad. The iPad is the only device that truly makes me think "wow" when I look at the screen.
The type of customer service you’re thinking of would be outsourced to call centers by AirBNB. When you call a 1-800 number those aren’t actually employees of the bank/service/website usually unless the company if huge. Most of them outsource. I bet AirBNb really does have all those employees but they’re probably doing things like Compliance, Financial/Payment operations (chargebacks, disputes, fraud, etc) and a lot more manual stuff than people realize.

You are spot on yet at the same time this is about 99% of Linux.

Would love to see us move back towards linux being linux (a kernel) and less of a need to even 'join' a Distro or pick sides if you will.

So does the developers. Anyone can code and do %90 of what a developer can do with a very little training.

Yet, these are highly paid jobs because It’s not about being able to do it, it’s about understanding what they are doing. This way, they don’t just know how to do it but why to do it and what are the implications of doings it and how to debug it when the outcome is not the expected one.

Any junior can probably do %99 of what their seniors can do, yet when you look for a highly paid senior you don’t take a cheap junior as an option.

US health system might be a racket but not the health profession. No where else visiting a hospital is a financial decision(yet the med staff is still well paid), you only worry about the medical issue and it’s impact on your life and the lives of your loved ones, except maybe when you need some very novel treatment for your rare condition.

I have to add that this way of thinking, in general, is a very blue collar mental model on how world works. Nurses claim that they can do what doctors do, mechanics claim that they can do what engineers do all the time.
It was unlucky that the android watch, pebble and fitbits failed compared to apple? I don’t think so. Apple tied the whole experience together with their phone and airpods. Smart watches don’t live in a silo.

> I suspect this was what attracted developers to noSQL databases like Mongo in the first place -- it's more attuned to a programmatic mindset.

I suspect it was mostly because the tree-like structures people were trying to represent are an absolute pain to work with when you have to shove them into two dimensional rows and columns. I doubt SQL itself had much to do with it as ORMs were already all the rage when Mongo emerged. But ORMs only slightly improve on papering over the data structure impedance mismatch. Most of the pain points present with using SQL directly remain in ORMs when it comes to this problem.

With Mongo you can just throw the tree at it and it will happily store it and nicely give it back again. Which eventually leads to its own set of problems due to how it handles said tree internally, but that's why it has fallen out of favour and SQL databases are the new hotness again.

You'll notice the frontrunners in the NoSQL movement of the time weren't relational databases with a different query language. They all took different approaches to dealing with data itself. Sometimes, humorously, they even maintained SQL as the query language. NoSQL didn't come to mean "No SQL" at all, but rather "Not Relational".

As an aside, while it might go a bit outside the spirit of SQL and introduces its own challenges, I remain somewhat amazed that we haven't seen a standard way emerge to query tree-like structures to better reflect the needs of a fairly common use case. You can kind of get there in unconventional ways, like using json_agg in Postgres, but that all seems pretty hacky.

>There’s no evidence that the drug, touted by President Trump, can effectively and safely treat COVID-19

This is patently false. There may be no quality evidence, but there were multiple papers out before the tweet. The net was buzzing with this treatment since something like February, when a paper surfaced[1] from a Dutch researcher who found that chloroquine seemed to work on SARS.

The trials supporting the drug are not well done, but if you read those claiming no change of poorer outcomes also are questionable.

Further, there has been a conflation online between chloroquine alone and chloroquine in combination with an antibiotic and/or zinc. There is a proposed mechanism of action and there is also evidence that because COVID19 attacks immune cells, patients may be succumbing to opportunistic infections and it's the antibiotic that is doing the real work.

In any case and in simple terms, people want this to fail because they want Trump to be wrong. The exclusively negative treatment by the popular online and TV media only fuels the fake news narrative.

Very neat. Picking up the exponentiation by squaring algorithm for free by implementing Semigroup is a really nice touch.

Since you're defining your own custom Matrix2x2 class and <> operation anyway, you can save a little space and computation by relying on the fact that every Fibonacci matrix is of the form: [ a+b, a; a, b ]. Thus only two member variables are needed, and <> can be implemented with fewer multiplications.
