I was listening to a podcast recently where a guy was joking about how felony Duis don't matter in the US. He said his company wanted to hire this girl but they said they wanted to know if she had any felonies to which she said yes, a DUI or something.

They laughed at it in the interview and then hired her right away. Goes to show people sorta understand when it comes to alcohol it's not really their fault in the couple one off scenarios.
Sure. And the insurance plans will all tie you up with requirements for their firms to justify it or they won’t pay.

It really depends on what support you need - yes, the latest and greatest bling is dropped soon, but Samsung offers 4 years of security updates - that's quite a bit of time. You'll probably have a really bad battery by that point and it's probably worth an upgrade. You won't have all the latest and greatest OS bling, but you wouldn't have the latest and greatest anything but that point, and that's probably OK.
and based on medicare and the post office as reference points you'd be very wrong.
There's also a possibility (for now just a possibility) that the virus behaves differently in warmer climates.

The average daily temperature in March in Sweden was a bit on either side of freezing, while it regularly gets up to 70F in Los Angeles. Meaning that if the virus is affected by more summer'y weather, Los Angeles has a significant advantage compared to Sweden.
Yes, please! I often read podcast transcripts. Conversations with Tyler, 80,000 hours, and Steve Hsu's Manifold all have great transcripts and because of that, they are the only podcasts I keep up with.

And yet, my cheap android phone has two things that are infinitely more important to me: an aux port and an SD card slot. My phone would be fundamentally less usable (for me) without them, while quicker switching between apps etc would be a minor benefit at most.

Chasing statistics (Fastest processor! Most megapixels! Longest battery life!) becomes useless after a certain point. Processors and megapixels are long past being a deciding criteria, while battery life (and picture quality, for that matter) still are important.
I wonder if this is partially a function of decreased attention spans. It takes more discipline than ever to turn off distractions and focus on innovative solutions to hard problems.

> [Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg] once said, "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you’d have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.” To which Freeman Dyson remarked, “Weinberg’s statement is true as far as it goes, but it is not the whole truth. To make it the whole truth, we must add an additional clause: ‘And for bad people to do good things – that takes religion.’"
That's not how insurance works, expensive insurance has a lower max out of pocket.

What you are talking about is that rich people don't need insurance at all. They just pay out of pocket.

We recently introduced build optimizations for incremental data changes for self-hosted environments: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/page-build-optimizations-for-i... and are continuing to improve build speed across platforms.

To reliably provide near real-time deployments, we need tight integration with the CI/CD environment to optimize and parallelize the work; that's why you’ll see the fastest builds and deploys through Gatsby Cloud — the platform is purpose built for Gatsby!

“map -1 1 to 0 1” gives no search results on Google
I was looking for a way to map values from the range [-1,1] to [0,1], and, surprisingly, Google gives me no results. DDG gave me a useful stack exchange answer.

Very confused why this would happen. Anyone else have the same behavior?

I've heard this a few times as well, but couldn't the game still be open-sources just without those libaries?

And anyone who wants to compile it, needs a licence for those libaries, which in many times is free for noncomercial purposes, or students. Btw. what expensive libaries do exist in that area anyway?

On top of that, the situation is fluid and changing almost daily. I saw a meme a couple of days ago about covid-19 being no big deal with tons of people agreeing, and the data was from 4/1. It's not a surprise, but it concerns how few people are a) critical of what they see and b) refuse to change their mind when new information arises.
The Guardian story cited on this page says he made the trades whilst drunk at home. Regulators now demand that controlled functions are performed from a registered premises and controls need to be in place to prevent remote activity.

I think what he's getting at is the concept of a "trustful society". Essentially one like the Amish he describes: people act responsibly with the community's money.

You might well think this has broken down in America. There's both a lack of formal restraint in the form of laws holding down the price, like in the Swiss private health system, as well as a lack of informal rules like he's mentioned, preventing people who've hit their deductible from going nuts with their treatment. And the culture of suing doctors has led to even more issues.

The trustful society thing is interesting. A friend of mine lost a grand-uncle in Denmark a couple of years back. Now this guy had grown up before the welfare state, and took pride in not taking handouts that he didn't need. He lived on a family farm on an idyllic island called Bornholm. When he died, the authorities called and asked what to do with nearly 2M DKK of pension money he hadn't collected.

At the other end, you get people growing up having never seen what preceded the welfare state. You often get debates about whether the kids are spending their student allowances wisely, because obviously you see them around town and they are having a good time. This is a cash grant from the government that you don't even need to use for tuition. Are they being profligate with the state's money? It's a debate that keeps going.
Biggest Oil ETF Could Go ‘Lights Out,’ Warns Wall Street Strategist
[Am Swedish and not a fan of the current policy]

This evidence-driven decision making process (which is indeed the default here) works remarkably well when things are moving slowly. It kills bullshit beautifully. This is normally something I'm quite proud about.

However, it breaks down so badly when you're suddenly facing a one in a hundred years pandemic and you can't act decisively 3-4 months into the pandemic because there's no evidence yet.

Sweden is "peace-damaged". We haven't really had to deal with any national-level crises the since the spanish flu about 100 years ago. The last war was in 1814. 500 soldiers died.

Note that the above mostly applies to national governance - this is the stuff that really gets set into code and culture over time.

At a local e.g. hospital/research unit/private company level, there's fantastic innovation happening on a daily basis, just as in the rest of the world.

The loans are guaranteed but you can still pay $ sanctions for not doing the work right.

From Matt Levine:

> Big banks that paid billions of dollars in sanctions after the 2008 financial crisis for flaws or omissions in loan applications -- in that case, mortgages -- assumed paperwork submitted to the SBA would need to meet high standards, or they would risk getting in trouble again. Wells Fargo has been under particular pressure to show that it overhauled its internal controls.

Now that wasn't in the end the case as:

> Some were floored when the SBA posted a notice on its website on Tuesday, confirming that’s necessary but saying that “lenders who did not understand that these steps are required” didn’t need to withdraw applications already submitted. That essentially gave an edge to lenders that had skipped that time-intensive step to get their customers’ applications in first.

But that was (some of the) banks' view.
Probably depends on the provider... Haven't played much K8...

But I know it seems with clouds they offer regular VPSes, but can get managed databases, load balancers, etc... I guess cost more than setting it up on your own raw VPS, but less op's tasks...

Personally I'd probably just install something like HAProxy on a VPS. Smaller VPS but as growing scale it up on a larger VPS.

I guess though load balancers are prefect for stateless stuff, but websockets sounds more messy. My plan was if I ever used web sockets load balance in the application level itself... like ws1.whatever, ws2.whatever and just assign them a session token and a specific server to connect to. So stateless REST API and a separate stateful WS servers.
This might simply be because the ones that require hospitalisation are usually older. So the % of smokers must be taken within the older population, not the entire population.
everything is an opinion and estimate at this point -

the transmission rates in the population with respect of their way of living,

the sensibility to infection of different ages, races etc

I salute Sweden for not giving in to the lockdown hysteria and trusting that people can and will act cautiously without the threats and mandates.

Banks paid sanctions for failing to do due diligence on loan applications, that's what the banks want to avoid this time round.
There's an important lesson there for all of us: the guy screwed up majorly, but the systems in place let him. If our own systems don't protect our company from a drunk senior dev at 2AM pushing code to the master branch and deploying it, then we're really no better than his employer was.

I used to dislike how restrictive some policies can feel. Now I can appreciate that at least some of those policies protect me by making it hard for me to exercise poor decision making without my coworkers signing off on it.

(Note: "some". "Security theater" is still very much a thing, but turns out that not all pain-in-the-neck controls are there just to be annoying.)

That sounds like a bug in the driver. I'm pretty sure varchar on postgres is just an alias for text, which has no limit.

edit: varchar(n) will issue an error past n bytes, varchar without n is the same as text. character varying(n) is like varchar(n).

The problem is that depending on your medical capacity, "getting it over with" overloads your medical system causing even MORE deaths. So the total number of deaths goes way, way up. Because in addition to the deaths from COVID-19, you get extra deaths from hospitals not having beds or able to handle other common injuries/sickness/accidents that are still happening every day but wouldn't normally lead to death because they could get full attention and care.

Now, if we had infinite medical capacity, then actually "getting it over with" could, from a number of deaths perspective, be advantageous. No lockdowns! No economic distress! However, you also overshoot a little. You would have deaths due to more of the population being exposed than required for herd immunity.

Of course, if you're a no lives lost at any cost, you'd still want to reduce deaths by slowing the spread until something like herd immunity or a vaccine. But most don't seem to have that sort of political or economic calculus.
Ideas are easy to find, it's just that the bounds that we have been limited to work within, both economically and societally, have become tighter and tighter. Today, the leadership of the vast majority of private institutions have only the goal of increasing their own economic power, and similarly there is constant media production reminding people how important the almighty economy is, causing people to focus on any potential fear of economic pain. Regret being one of the most powerful emotional responses that we have.

We don't have to look far in any direction for solutions that improve our education systems, our research output, and the general welfare of humanity. Unfortunately, the forces of corruption will always be strong, and it will take a more creative and imaginative people to implement them.

> I'm not a religious person, but the thing that the anti-religion movements have failed spectacularly at is providing a universal, teachable framework for basic morality.

But there is no universal, teachable framework for basic morality. Even the seemingly most basic rule: don't hurt anyone, has so many exceptions.

There is no 'small' set of rules you can use to describe morality. Reality is messy, human interactions even more so. We need to teach people to be empathic, and to be willing to try and understand the others position and view

Interesting link, thanks. It looks like all their acquisitions and hires, at least the ones linked there, are on the capture, interface and authoring tools side. The only actual mention of a headset were of glasses with a camera, presumably for environment scanning, but using a phone as the display. I really could be wrong, but every time I start writing something where I hedge my bets it just doesn’t feel right. My gut persistently says no, VR/AR headsets are niche tech.

Covid-19 Infection Attacks the Immune System and Differs from HIV
I think Islam may like a word with you on that one. There it's not just the priests. It's very common for minors to be married off, young boys to be sold as sex slaves (common in the turkic -stans areas although not sure about today), and the "it's only gay if you take it" reasoning I believe in one of the hadith's which condones pedophilia.

The quote clearly claims he's helping the entire biotech industry, which is overstated to say the least.

Also no idea why you aren't responding to the GP instead. My post is within the the guidelines, even if you choose to disagree with its point.
”Likewise, if a Binary expression involves operands which are both _ExtInt, rather than promoting both operands to int the narrower operand will be promoted to match the size of the wider operand, and the result of the binary operation is the wider type.“

I don’t understand that choice. The result should be of the wider type, yes, but, for example, multiplying a _ExtInt(1) by a _ExtInt(1000) should take less hardware than multiplying two ExtInt(1000)s. So, why promote the narrower one to the wider type?
My understanding is that SMR drives fail because the write load is continuous for a long period of time and overwhelms the background process organizing the data for efficient SMR writes. In a 2-disk mirror (RAID1) rebuild, all data from one drive has to be copied to the other drive, which seems likely to overwhelm an SMR drive. So it would seem to only work in a RAID0 array (concatenated drives - bad idea) or JBOD NAS setup.
jOOQ can effectively extend the type system of Java to the construction of ad-hoc queries by way of code generation. jOOQ generates Java classes that correspond to the database schema, which can be used in its query building DSL.

For example, if I have a `timestamp with time zone` column in PostgreSQL, that is represented in the generated code. I will be prevented from inserting a Java `String` into that column - I will have to provide an `OffsetDateTime`. (This is how it would be in a typical configuration - it is flexible enough to do pretty much anything).

Another example, let's say I reference some column in a query in one of my feature branches. Meanwhile, somebody has dropped that column on the master branch. When I rebase my feature branch onto master, my build will fail.

Not meaning to come off as trite, but I know my response will sound like I am.

But, what you described is exactly why senior devs/engineers make 2x, 3x, 4x a junior.

Seniors make more because they have that extra knowledge you're talking about that can take a decade or more to accumulate. The idiosyncrasies between different DBMS or even languages or even specific versions of languages. That knowledge doesn't come cheap. It literally takes upon years to develop.

This is partially why I think bootcamps are bullshit. I'm sorry, but there is no way to become a competent full-stack developer, especially if you're not targeting web/browser. Give me someone with 3 months of bootcamp C++, I'd be surprised if they can get a nontrivial program to link, let alone compile.
Could you expand on this comment more? Engines that run on Android vs iOS maybe? Just curious :)
“Alkalinity

Thanks largely to the work of Dr. Robert O. Young, the public are becoming more widely aware of the benefits of a high alkaline diet. Most junk foods and heavily processed foods are acidic, causing a stress on the body which increases weight gain and decreases immunity. Ideally, the diet should be made up of at least 70% alkaline foods. A raw food diet high in vegetables easily satisfies this requirement. When our systems are alkalized, we feel calmer, can think more clearly, feel more on top of things, and have a stronger immune system.”

Finance is a very important industry that adds a lot of value. If you get a student loan, you can go to university tomorrow and earn more in a few years, that's much more valuable than spending 20yrs at McDonald's earning nothing and saving very slowly to pay for your degree upfront as you would have to otherwise. Ditto mortgages. Ditto getting a car or starting a business or basically anything finance permits.

The great recession after 2008 and the great depression both show what happens when finance stops working. The rest of the economy collapses without it. You can all the way back to medieval Kings to see how important it is.

I don't know where people get this idea finance is not "real". If it wasn't useful, people wouldn't be paying for the services it provides, they're all optional.
We still have the rampant inequality today. I believe NYU Langone let's people pay a large yearly sum for access to a special phone number and "skipping the line" on appointments.
>Granted, everyone in the world is suddenly moral and of utmost integrity and everyone gets used to this new reality. The economic upside in lying/cheating is now so high that a few minutes later the world is back to exactly what it was, except for the first few persons to decide that lying wasn't such a bad idea, who are now a few billion dollars richer.

By definition, it is not integrity if you give it up immediately to gain an advantage by lying and cheating.

>This is your daily reminder that the Catholic Church is the organization with the most identified pedophiles in the world. (I'd have written "convicted", but they work really hard - and are really good - at preventing that outcome).

This a non-sequitur when you consider that there are over 4000 religions in the world, all with their own morality frameworks.
Most people make these statements as an external third party who have never worked at apple or similar.

They've just noticed that apple releases stuff on fairly strict schedules and predictable behaviors, so it's easy to predict when the next minor point release will come out, based on previous behavior. Similar with a new iphone releasing every year after july at the very least.
If it’s like the early days of React Router, expect major breaking changes every 6 months.
