I'll second you. I full time admin our K8s infrastructure and clusters. It's a great solution for our production workloads and I've bootstrapped RancherOS/k3s a handful of times to look at using it at home but K8s is purpose built for cloud. I can get all the same benefits with significantly reduced complexity with Docker + Systemd at home.

“Money makes a man act funny” -Eminem.

I have had friends suddenly get very selfish when the chance to get even $10 is available. I had a regular at a retail job once who came in every day... he asked to borrow $1 once to help pay for something. To avoid paying it back, he never returned, likely walking an extra several km to the next nearest store of the type every day. For $1
An astute commenter notes:

>"Actually the biggest failure of the Bill Gates Foundation is being spun as a "leadership".

What nonsense.

Donating $250 million 7 months into this crisis to an organization (WHO) that willfully let this virus take hold through lying and misinformation is not leadership. Praising the country that lied, killed its own Doctors who spoke out (true leaders?) and forced WHO to act immorally is not leadership.

If his $40 billion Foundation was leading, it would have announced this to the world and started working on it in October/November of last year.

Or is all the above irrelevant, and the only thing leadership means to you is a person that speaks out against Trump?

Bill may be a friend of yours or a your local hero, but when it comes to COVID-19 - he and his foundation were complete failures and donated money to the exact organization that let this become a pandemic."
If he’s owing millions in taxes this means his operation was at a scale where you don’t just “forget” to pay taxes. I suspect he tried to evade taxes, screwed up but doesn’t want to admit it.
very misleading and after taxes it is probably less

i would not be surprised if it much worse. if they truly had a good strategy why tell everyone?
If the jailbreak script can run on arm linux, you probably can get close enough by using a raspberry pi and a power bank. Configure the pi to automatically run the jailbreak as script on boot or when the phone connected via USB and you'll get a portable plug and play jailbreaking device.

Phoenix LiveView: A free course from Pragmatic Studio
This meshes well with my current view - within the constraints of our "normal" perception, the only thing that exists at any one given time is the present. The past exists as memory, and the future doesn't exist yet. This may end up not being true to objective reality, but that doesn't even matter. It certainly helps me appreciate existence itself. It also makes me want to help other people have a pleasant in-the-moment experience.
I noticed the same https://github.com/biomurph/Mouse/issues/6
Lead developer here. Ameelio is a non-profit that's building free technology to transform corrections and criminal justice. We've recently launched Letters, our first application that lets loved-ones of incarcerated individuals send physical mail for free. Currently, the situation is that two corporations own communication throughout the prisons and jails in the U.S (Global Tel Link and Securus). They charge ridiculous amounts of money just so that you can stay in contact with your loved-ones. We're hoping to change that.

I actually discovered Ameelio last year through a Hacker News post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21129557) that didn't gain much attention. Zo, the founder, had reached out looking for support and contributors through a hiring post. When I read the post, I decided to look more into the project. My first thought was just "Wow!". I really vibed with the concept because it's something that hits really close to home.

I've had friends and family that were incarcerated before so I know exactly what it's like dealing with the struggles that come from that experience. When someone is incarcerated, it's not just a punishment for them. It's an attack on their families, as well. In my experience, poverty is oftentimes a direct cause for incarceration. Mistakes are made and you get put into a situation, a system, that doesn't value reformation, but instead looks to profit. To communicate with a loved-one on the inside means spending money that you don't have. If your family is struggling financially, it means that you're out of luck. This shouldn't be the case.

I believe that a system focused on reformation would be much better for our society than a system based on profit. Why should a corporation be able to take control of communication between an incarcerated individual and their loved-ones meahwhile charging high prices knowing that it's their only option? Why have we allowed that to happen? Being a part of this project is my way of stepping up and making sure we can deliver an alternative option for those families that are struggling.

I've received amazing support from this community before and thanks to you guys I've been able to focus my efforts on projects like this. Any and all feedback is welcome. If you're interested in using our app then feel free to check it out. It's free and we'll do all that we can to keep it that way.
Don't know Go but I'm going to give it a shot:

1. Casing is a personal preference, so that's fair, but not a valid criticism.

2. Type decls after the variable are much easier to parse, and allow for (easier) type inference.

3. Yeah? References exist... C/C#/C++ have them too.

4. This ones a fair criticism.

5. That's because constants have a completely different syntax from variable assignment.

6. The parenthesis are syntactically unnecessary and add nothing, the curly braces are required for an unambiguous parser (barring significant whitespace).

7. This is true in almost every language with for loops. Try it in the JavaScript console in your browser.

8. Yeah? So?

9. The scoping is a feature, not a bug. E.G.

if v := getResult(); v == Success {
Print("Success!")
} else {
Print("Failed with error code ", v)
}
// v doesn't pollute namespace out here

10. That one I'm not educated enough to make a reply to.

I am full stack developer currently on TypeScript/node.js, prior to that I did ObjC/Swift app development. I have done a fair amount of C++ as well over the years. I have 13 years of experience professionally.

Looking for position compatible with remote work, due to current pandemic, including on contract or freelance basis.
I think the issue is coming up with a new protocol. Right now, it's not clear what should be don in lieu of ventilators. There are trials going on to see if oxygen alone has better results. I recommend the r/covid19 subreddit and medcram youtube channel for this sort of thing, by the way. They seem to be doing a good job of staying on top of new developments with proper references.
That sounds very misleading, not just sort of.

isn’t that like saying my $1 billion portfolio had a 3600% return because I invested $100 on a penny stock that went up 3600% and the rest of it was in cash.

There are always cross-cutting concerns that aren't easily transformed, or become that way due to code changes. I think this area is where managing complexity is most difficult.

All sides of mainstream media are worthless in my book. Mainstream media is a net negative on society, and it's especially shown now with media trust at record lows.

This isn't just one company or one side of partisan MSM. NYT lied about WMDs in Iraq repeatedly, WaPo lied about a Russian hack of critical US power infrastructure and CNN struggles to tell the truth when telling you the time of day.
I'm acquainted with some of the folks involved in this project, and it's been a privilege to see them bring the concept so much to life in such a short span of time. For those who share an active interest in alternatives to the farrago that the modern web has become, I can unreservedly recommend Gemini to your attention.

> A lot of this boils down to having a better understanding of uncertainty and probability, especially in terms of being non-naive when it comes to extreme volatility and risk.

After the statistical basics (don't confuse power-law distributed phenomena for normally distributed phenomena), a lot of what Taleb seems to prescribe boils down to simple skepticism of modeling the real world with games, which he describes as the Ludic Fallacy [1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludic_fallacy

The most entertaining narrative he conjures is the contrast between "Dr John", a mathematically oriented scientist, and "Fat Tony", a clever everyman, and how Dr John gets fooled about the odds of a game of coin-flip that has so far come up with 99 heads and no tails, asserting each flip must be IID at 50-50, but Fat Tony sees the reality: that the coin is rigged.

Short answer: yes, the underlying black-box fast multipole method will be very accurate with just a small number of Chebyshev coefficients. The main requirement is the kernel is reasonably smooth away from the origin.

Here's a toy example, 100 sources and points over a 10x10 square and a 1/(1 + d^2) kernel:

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1F5rGIPxI8RI9tYJ4RSv...

Here, it gets 1e-8 residual variance.

Exactly which kernel to use for disease transmission is an open question, but IIRC the Imperial model used something like 1/(1 + d^(3/2)) based on fits to data.

The idea that lots of companies and banks were over extending themselves seems unsupported, I think that large corporations were sitting on record cash stockpiles when this hit, no? Also there is no talk of a bank bailout, the banks are solvent in spite of this crisis right now.

Seem like the "cheap money is good" argument is actually stronger here, the real wage gains over the cheap money period insulated a lot of people against the slow roll out of support because they were in better financial positions than they would be otherwise.

Airlines are a good example of underlying issues exposed by the crisis, but airlines are a quite small part of the economy and are notoriously poorly run, it certainly has exposed them!

apple is moving on from intel because intel burned them badly with 10nm process chips. those were supposed to be out 5 years ago, when apple was readying the current design generation of macbook pros. apple finally had to give up hope and release the machine with hotter and less performant chips than they thought they’d be launching with.

that was the point that apple realized intel had become incapable of leading the industry any longer and started looking beyond intel.
There are some measures to make sure you don't buy used books either. Things like including software licenses in the purchase or having a new edition every year or so. Sometimes these are even written by the professor teaching, so it is then part of their income.

I can second The Economist. I find that they also have a pro-business/free market stance, but at least I find that they have reasonable and factual reporting, which I sometimes find lacking with the WSJ.
Your explaination seems sensible but I don't think this was the point that the author made. The way I read it was he meant that the CDC overestimates the number of flu deaths and therefore anyone thinking covid's lethality is comparable to flu is wrong as the flu kills a lot less.
I know a few people that claim 100K a month. That's all they claim, they don't say what that 100K a month is. I found out later it was 100k a month in what they managed in the store of a customer. They were the ecommerce middlemen that set up stores for successful brands that wanted to branch into eCommerce. They likely still did make more money then the non-consulting DIY dropshipping middlemen that provide no value.

And before that, Motorola 68k.
Agreed -- I did not mean to imply that it wasn't expensive -- but what you do is bake this into the positions. Entering a position without a hedge is dangerous, though of course equities are much less likely to have drastic drops (depending on the company). Hedging is still a good idea for the usual investor -- but obviously don't take losses on puts for years trying to time a downturn.

One thing I didn't note is the difficulty in timing -- if you held your puts too long, they would have gone back to zero with the insane rally we saw last month, for many reasons.
Yes!

I don't know, I guess it depends, what kind of software you are planning to write. All I can say is that learning C++ properly is a huge effort with diminishing results.

I'd say, invest your time wisely. Things are changing rapidly and old languages are usually solving problems that are not quite as important anymore as they used to be.
I genuinely wonder if there was a point where these 4hww tactics worked before the book was released, or has it always been this way?
I dunno - an ARM version of the MacBook Air would be very appealing. I doubt that many MacBook Air users are running VMS (although the latest model supporting 16GB makes it more practical, it wouldn’t be my first choice) or Boot Camp. The vast majority of Mac Apps I use are in active development and I doubt there would be much lag before universal versions that also support ARM would be released.

Apple has done this twice before(68K and PPC), and currently runs a split CPU architecture ecosystem - granted there are hard product delineations between them today, but there aren’t any significant technical reasons why Apple couldn’t effectively support both ARM and Intel Macs - and do so for an indefinite period of time.
