Yeah. We had some decent weather last weekend and plenty were at it. Late April, early May is fairly typical around here.
You've got it backwards, "crypto" is cryptography which is where all of this comes from. "Blockchain" is just a clever combination of ECDSA, Merkle trees and partial hash inversion that has proven useful to implement decentralized digital cash. I think we would be better served by looking at existing real-world problems with fresh eyes to see if cryptography can provide unique solutions, rather than taking one particular protocol template and assuming it can be used for almost anything.
Do sagas help with rolling back in response to errors? This seems like the nastiest aspect of any distributed transaction approach: step A succeeds, step B succeeds, step C fails, call to rollback A and B fails... and now?

Or you do a two-phase commit: A, B, and C tentatively succeed, but then one of the commit calls fails, and now?

It seems like inconsistencies are inevitable no matter what you do.
So you're saying small schools would choose to close rather than lower their prices and stay open?
That is interesting. As a generality I’ve found software developers to be some of the least open minded people. Perhaps a small bit amongst themselves (though the endless disagreements indicate it’s a very small bit), but when interacting with anyone outside the industry regarding some aspect of the industry, open mindedness is essentially non-existent. Perhaps it is the same for doctors interacting with patients.
Thanks this is informative. I think my confusion comes from that many things are introduced as walled-off vertical concepts but later backported at least partially. Also there is no lack of terminology confusion when things can be an API, an app-model or both.

I’m a full time windows desktop dev since 15 years now. And I still find these UI and app model frameworks extremely confusing (which is why I haven’t gone near one after WPF).
Interesting conclusions, but small sample size: N=20.

Vitamin D at normal doses is quite safe, though, so I'll be supplementing my intake now even if broader long-term study shows this to be ineffective for C19.
I built Linux Process Snapper for making application activity analysis (task states, syscalls, kernel waits) easier. This is a python script that does not require any installation and only samples files that are available in Linux /proc filesystem. Therefore no application tracing or kernel modules are needed and in many cases not even root access is needed.

This tool is useful for production use and for people who end up troubleshooting stuff in lots of different servers where their favorite observability toolsets are not installed (or wouldn't even work due to an old Linux version).

Actual title is: Intelligence Community Statement on Origins of COVID-19

In any case, the conclusion seems likely, as a guess, but this is impossible to determine for certain. A virus is ultimately just a genetic sequence--they don't come with the signature of the author or a version history.

Furthermore, not being man-made or genetically modified is not the same as not being accidentally released from a lab (one perhaps doing rather dangerous experimentation).
Ironically, income share agreements are increasingly being challenged on the grounds that they violate the 14th amendment (being rather close to the indentured servitude model).

I think the (optics) problem is that it's a "more obvious voluntary fractional slavery program". So it's easy to criticize. Of course, because it's a less obvious voluntary fractional slavery program, non-dischargeable loans are simultaneously harder to criticize and harder for people to see the trap they're walking in to.

I fortunately was stocked up on supplies for the first 10 days of symptoms (after which I thought I had recovered but still was quite careful). However I don't have the luxury to stay inside for 6 straight weeks at a time, nor would it be prudent for recovery and good health to be deprived of fresh air for so long, in my opinion. Of course I am still quite self isolated even when I do venture out, use a disinfectant wipe to touch doors, wear a makeshift mask, hold my breath and cross the street before passing other pedestrians when I walk, and manage to not come in close contact with anyone.

And I am far more careful than most, including the person I believe I contracted it from, and I have still possibly exposed some people incidentally. This is why I believe that any idea of containment and contact tracing is absurd in any semblance of a free country, and the only way the pandemic ends is if everyone gets it or an effective vaccine is developed. However, almost everyone will probably get it before the vaccine is developed.

How to Remove Background of Image
So students remain undecided as long as possible to enroll in as many undergrad classes as possible? your proposition makes no sense to me. I believe as an 18 year old, you need to begin seriously taking responsibility for your decisions, and if you choose to go to school, you absolutely should pay for it. the cost argument is totally separate, colleges should be much more affordable IMO, but there shouldn't be free rides for remaining "undeclared", that would have perverse incentives.
Well, if you want to know whether it's worth the risk, I think the best people to ask are the astronauts, and they are chomping at the bit to go.

As far as I can see, there isn't much point to going around Mars just to go. You could just go to a high Earth orbit (or Lagrange point), and gain similar experience, with better communication. The ISS has spent 20 years in low-earth orbit; we're not going to learn much more from it or a similar station.

A primary driver of SaaS sales is trust. Nobody wants to bet on a platform that is going to pivot or shut down within 12 months. It's not about price, it's about disruption to business in both adopting and offboarding from any solution more complex than a todo list. For a lot of established companies, that unfortunately means they won't even consider you until you've been around for 1-2 years. We have a lot of customers who checked us out on day 1, and now 3-4 years later are coming back saying "Cool, you guys are still in business, now we can try you out for real".

If you're building SaaS, go ahead and take that SaaStr article as gospel (and a lot of their other writing as well). Maybe you're a special unicorn where it doesn't apply, but most likely you aren't.

It looks like it's the season for hobby RISC-V emulators, because I've also been working on one.

https://github.com/michaelmelanson/riscy

The tricky part here comes when you have to run non-trivial programs. Mine currently passes the basic test suites, but it still fails in the C runtime startup when executing programs compiled with GCC. My next step is to do co-simulation with another emulator in order to find out where their execution states diverge.

The advances happening in Decentralized Finance right now are very important and will power the financial infrastructure of the 21st century. This space is rapidly evolving and is undergoing a Cambrian explosion right now, which is super fascinating to watch. Having been there for the dot com era and the mobile era, this feels the same. If you're in technology, it's worth educating yourself on this space. Two of the best resources I've found are:

I'm working on my SaaS solo and I expect to work on it at least 1 year before releasing a beta. And after that I don't expect making some profit for at least another year, probably two.

Working 3 weeks on something and expecting it to have some value is totally unrealistic. Yeah, maybe someone somewhere pulled that off, but it's one in a million chance and the lowest hanging fruit has already been taken years ago.
For the purposes of this conversation, I'll define "nowhere close as follows (and willing to put money on the prediction, if you'd like to negotiate such):

"Primary" means simple majority. >50% ARM market share for consumer PCs as defined below.

"Consumer CPU" refers to non-server application PCs. Workstations, desktops, laptops, and DIY. Personal and professional use (including enterprise purchases, so the full fleet of corporate laptops at any company are included). Some current examples would include things such as the Talos POWER workstations and ARM workstations.

For "PC", the definition gets a little rough, and I'd be willing to negotiate this. I'd say anything where the primary interaction mode is mouse and keyboard. With this definition I would exclude most tablets, but something such as the Microsoft Surface would be included. The test that includes the Surface and excludes most other tablets is that the Surface is sold with a keyboard and trackpad. If the keyboard and trackpad is not included or required, then it's not a PC. This rule would also exclude something like a NAS, where the hardware is basically that of a tower desktop, but the use is headless; this would be a server. Like I said, this can get a bit loose. Happy to negotiate a firmer definition.

As for "nowhere close", I'd say that we won't see ARM as the primary consumer CPU for the next decade easily. I'd be willing to bet $1,000 US on this.

If you wanted different timelines, I'd put $5,000 on 5 years, and $500 on 15 years.

Apple's market share won't push ARM past 50%. Enterprises move slowly and make up a lot of the PC market. If you assume a 3-year hardware replacement cycle, then ARM would have to come to dominance at least 3 years before the end of a betting period for it to have a chance of meeting the end of the betting period. Thus, for the 5 year timeline, ARM would have to be dominant by 2022. For the 10-year, by 2027.

Separately, in writing this response, I realize that you could easily make the argument that a "consumer CPU" includes cell phones and tablets. This is a very different conversation.
I don't think Azure needs a big client like this. I'm pretty sure Azure is just printing money for Microsoft now as it is. IIUC, newer AD deployments with Microsoft VM infrastructure automatically hybridize between local systems and Azure cloud, so there's basically a 1-click solution to deploying at Azure with a VPN instead of to local hardware you need to maintain and expand as needed, if there's even any local hardware at all and it's not AD deployed entirely in the cloud. I would say it's like if Amazon owned VMware, but that doesn't even quite encompass it, because many companies already have and need Active Directory environments so are already bought into the Microsoft ecosystem, and I'm not sure there's a combination of companies that actually compares to that. The closest might be Red Hat (maybe + VMware, but RH has virt offerings) + AWS, but that doesn't quite match either. Our company makes extensive use of CentOS but we also have a lot of Microsoft AD infrastructure we pay for.
OK I see,thank you.

>>AMD CPUs OTOH run significantly higher power than their spec'd TDP right out-of-the box. For example, that "105 W" 3900X actually ships with a power limit of 142 W and it is quite capable of sustaining that under an all-core load.

I'm pretty sure you've got that exactly reversed, AMD's power draw tends to stay closer to the rated TDP than Intel's.

>>The outrage over Intel CPU's power consumption is pretty silly when you realize that the only reason AMD CPUs don't draw just as much is because their chips would explode if you tried to pump that much power into them. If you care about power consumption just set your power limits as desired and Intel CPUs will deliver perfectly reasonable power efficiency and performance.

I'm not even sure what this means. AMD CPUs are on a more advanced and physically smaller process, with smaller wires, and a different voltage-frequency-response curve. Of course they would "explode" if you try to pump them with voltages that the process isn't designed to operate with, that the Intel CPU with it's larger process can handle. But the power draw isn't really the "point" of the CPU -- performance is.

Imagine thinking that the Pentium 4 or Bulldozer was better than their contemporaries because they were capable of drawing incredible amounts of power.

"Society" doesn't figure anything out. If "Society" wanted people to go to college then it would it give it to everybody for free.

People are incentivized to act one way or the other. Less-wealthy people cannot afford college tuition, and the government cannot mandate that banks give away money to extremely risky but ambitious people.

This same problem exists with extending loans in general to risky, low-income individuals. Yes their rates are insanely high, bordering on predatory, but they also have sky high default rates so the alternative is they simply cannot get a loan at all.

This is essential economics.
> Will third-parties have the same standards for checking if an app uses only the authorized APIs and gating privacy/resource access?

You get to choose who the third parties are, so choose ones who do. Some of them may even have higher standards than the platforms do.

> What happens when Apple/Google introduce new OS APIs, will those third-party signing authorities update their standards at the same time?

This was solved decades ago. You introduce new APIs with new operating system versions and provide development releases to developers ahead of time so they're ready by the time the new system is released to the general public.

> What if a third-party goes rogue and starts signing malicious apps? How and how soon will we know?

Presumably the same way you know when Google or Apple does it.

LabCorp slapped with shareholder suit over data breaches
Reducing the supply for colleges isn't going to make overall college education cheaper while maintaining the same quality of education. There is certainly some waste in college budgets, but it will mostly force colleges to cut the least profitable programs. Education is a social good. We should invest in it like we do with other public services. It shouldn't need to be profited minded.
> Charging for a live rendition of a repeated script, and then not valuing the person who watched the same recording equally, is absurd.

I went to a small college where most lectures had fewer than ~20 students (if that), so I realize this doesn't scale as well to 100-person lecture halls.

But, I got a lot out of the interaction in my college lectures. I almost always sat in the front† where it was easy to ask and answer questions, which I did a lot. Less obviously, professors could and did react to my facial expressions of confusion/understanding/curiosity as they went. Well, I don't know that it was specifically my facial expressions, but there was definitely an interaction going on between us even when only the professor was speaking.

I can't say if that's worth the inefficiency of small-ish, in-person classes, but it certainly helped me.

† College: the one place where the best seats are also the easiest to get. Fine by me—I took advantage.
That's the case fatality rate, not the infection fatality rate.

As you can see in your quote, I was talking about IFR. In general - and this is a theme of the writeup BTW - we should be looking at IFR and not CFR. With IFR we can reasonably extrapolate how many deaths we'll have before new infections halt, whereas CFR is borderline impossible to use because we'd need to know how many cases we would expect per infection. At which point, why not just calculate the IFR anyway, right?

See https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.05.20031773v...

> Adjusting for delay from confirmation-to-death, we estimated case and infection fatality ratios (CFR, IFR) for COVID-19 on the Diamond Princess ship as 2.3% (0.75%-5.3%) and 1.2% (0.38-2.7%). Comparing deaths onboard with expected deaths based on naive CFR estimates using China data, we estimate IFR and CFR in China to be 0.5% (95% CI: 0.2-1.2%) and 1.1% (95% CI: 0.3-2.4%) respectively.

> Crypto is at the intersection of ancaps and difficult, probably intractable engineering problems. That intersection is highly idealistic and highly motivated, with an almost religious zeal.

There's another reason too: faulty reasoning by superficial historical analogy. There's a crowd of people who think cryptocurrency resembles the early Internet, and that its detractors are wrong in the same was as Paul Krugman was when he thought the net would turn into nothing.

The difference of course is that the Internet was immediately useful to an exponentially exploding number of people. I got on the net in 1993-1994 as an early teen and immediately found a ton of fascinating stuff to do with it. I helped less tech-savvy people (including my step sister) get online and they started enjoying chat rooms and the very early web.

Nobody uses cryptocurrency except users in a few niches that have remained relatively stable since its inception: people using it as an alternative wire transfer method, black/grey market commerce, and enthusiasts who just think it's cool and go out of their way to use it for the sake of using it. Those niches exist but they aren't growing very fast.

Reason from first principles, not by analogy.
