The lack of patent laws was very clearly a positive for Germany; the argument for those is IMO much weaker than for copyright. Especially for developing, backward economies (early-19th-century US, late-19th-century Germany, and contemporary China), ignoring foreign patents is very useful for speeding up technology transfer from more advanced economies; within 19th-century US there's some limited evidence for patents being useful as a way of paying local, small producers to publish their innovations widely, but the domestic Chinese quasi-open-source "shanzhai" electronic ecosystem produces quite a lot of its own innovation while completely disregarding patent rules.

But the evidence for lack of copyright being useful in that period is very weak: https://www.wired.com/2010/08/copyright-germany-britain/

Most of the great German authors of the period had to hold other jobs to support themselves, which made completing works slow and halting. Goethe supported himself as a courtier/bureaucrat/officer of the Duchy of Saxe-Weimar until his mid-40s, Hegel was a teacher and academic administrator, Kleist barely made a living off of of publishing a magazine and stints in Prussian government service, etc.

I'm not even making the point climate change is not severe or that gravity doesn't exist.

Just that we need to be open enough to accept a new conflicting theory and not fight against it.
When you need to. Other times when you need to pass lots of params and havent decided which ones are staying so scripts are a bit extra time which is not there and when you need to explore in a different way the domain area, GUIs or TUIs may be more suitable. I love what one can do out of simple tools like that and how nicely they compose but if the experience is draining, my brain is going to notice and start avoiding it next time
Were they not for children or did we decide later that children should read bowdlerized forms? After all, I read Arabian Nights uncensored with people cavorting[0] with courtesans and that one with the false sexual assault but with bad defence arguments when I couldn't have been even a teenager.

Also all the Russian stories published translated to English by Pravda involved a lot of violence and head cutting and men trying to sleep with daughters and whatnot.

Turned out all right.

0: Pretty sure that's where I learned the word 'cavorting'.
I have seen many arguments with this same problem:

>Economy will crash even if we open up

This invites us to think of economic crashes as a do-or-don't function. This oversimplifies, and prevents us from thinking through the various degrees of "opening up" we might attempt, and the various kinds of economic harm we will suffer in different scenarios.

>People will continue to voluntarily shelter.

Some people will. Some people already were, for other medical reasons. The question is how many, and how much of an impact this will have (both in terms of controlling the disease spread, and harming people's physical health, emotional health, financial health).
Meaning that instead of using existing JavaScript structures to provide instance state, it's re-implemented in an abstruse way that creates a whole bunch of constraints on your code and new rules to keep in your head at at all times that are react-with-hooks-specific.

>There is no evidence that getting the disease prevents you from getting it again

It's normal for exposure to a coronavirus to confer a couple years of immunity.

I've read that it would be typical for something like this to become endemic, decreasing in severity, possibly circulating as another one of several coronaviruses that already make up 15% of common colds.
Yeah... About that... I mean... no. When the possible death of thousands upon thousands of people is on the line, your proposal better be ironclad and well equipped to stand many lines of attack if you want it to be taken seriously.

"Hey maybe let's not do the one massively researched thing that we've done since times of the plague because there's not enough data" is neither of those things.

Open dialogue in science needs to take place in the forums already in place, not on clickbaity money-starved legacy media.

You can get hot water for way cheaper using solar hot water than PV. I can’t speak to the maintenance.
This was a nice read, thank you for sharing.

I give up both alcohol and caffeine for one month every year. I've currently been off caffeine for 2 months. The most pronounced effect is by far the consistent energy levels throughout the day. It's an incredible feeling to wake up in the morning, before sun rise, and just be "ready to go"! You forget what that's like after years of coffee consumption.

I also found I'm much more aware of other folks who are hyped up on caffeine or needing more.

The biggest loss for me is the positive effect that caffeine had on my weightlifting capabilities (via incr blood pressure).

Ultimately I think giving up caffeine for the rest of my life would be the most logical decision; but it's not something I've ever even considered. Habits that act as crutches can have such a powerful hold on our lives.
In the days before the Berne convention, US publishers copied British books without paying the authors, which of course made the British authors unhappy. In some cases, because there was a bit of a first mover advantage, publishers would send their agents to London to acquire copies of the plates for popular authors as quickly as possible, and were willing to pay a fee for this.
Those are pretty clever too. I don't think I've seen one in practice (although I may have inadvertently made one with bad SMA grounding efforts :-))

I picked up a vector signal generator which has as one of its standard waveforms 802.11 (b/g/n variants) I use its output on a bit of coax to the SDR sitting on my bench while working on the WiFi tranceiver code. I have referred to that wireless over coax (it does bluetooth, zigbee etc so those work over coax too :-)).

Back in Blekko's first building space the office was on the other side of the building from the nearest cell tower so we installed one of those cell "repeaters" which was essentially an antenna in the suite connected via a bidirectional amplifier to an antenna on the roof that was pointed at the cell tower. The FCC later outlawed them but I always wish that I had kept it for those situations where cell service was hard to get.

It suffered from the fact that the antenna was not omni-directional so you really wanted it on one side of the space so that everyone in the space would be able to hit it with their phone. It was an improvement though over the AT&T wifi connected "mini cell" because it carried everyone's signal, not just the AT&T ones.

One of these leaky cables would have been ideal.
I am not even talking about nuance, just some basic engineering clarity; and just between friends, no politicians nearby. I have seen a couple of times that the topic got discussed between otherwise calm, smart people. Both times it very quickly got into name calling, no technical arguments involved.
I wonder how many people with opinions on managing customer care expenses have actually worked in managing a care center.

It is an unrelenting expense if you are going to do it in a way that satisfies your customers.
My first tenant's mum was one of the first wave effected in China. He broke his lease to go back and be with her. I then leased to another person, small buisness owner, who was shut down the week she moved in. I let her break her lease.

The best i can do in this situation is get a loan holiday for my mortage from my bank. But i dont get anything for free, i will need to pay it back, plus interest.

The small and medium guys are taking the big hits. The big guys are liquidating to protect investors. And everyone in between is fighting over the scraps.

I believe in karma. When i say we are in this all together, i mean from a civilization perspective, if only 5% of the worlds population has cash at the end of this, that cash wont mean much. Entire nations wont just fade away. Something has to give.

Yes, but it was only manageable for so long. We have unfortunately passed that point...

Can you provide links to articles where react devs detail the scaling issues?

I've found HOCs easy to combine and reason about if I name them carefully, and am still using them on personal projects. When people complain about HOCs not scaling well, are they primarily complaining about name collisions, or performance issues due to deeply nested components/lots of render calls?

What about it?

Is this you admitting that you were totally wrong about how science works so now you're retreating to the conspiracy theorizing fallback position that all the universities and governments and health authorities and hospitals and nonprofits and NGOs and device manufacturers and biotech companies and nursing homes and cemeteries and obituary sections in newspapers in the entire world are all part of one big conspiracy to keep you from getting a haircut?

My 37 year old cousin who is currently in the hospital for coronavirus, you think he was actually abducted by aliens, or what? Is he a "false report" too?

What "false reporting"?

Please explain to me why we should risk tens of millions of lives worldwide over your sheepish thumb-twiddling musings about "false reporting".

I wonder if this really can be resolved in the courts if school funding is still decided by local taxes and the obvious gaps between wealthy and poor schools remain.
That's an admirable sentiment, Ionannidis must be such a wonderful guy.

However, the damage has already been done. He's already done his media blitz, so no matter what happens next, effectively zero people will hear the correction (or more likely, subsequent retraction). It'll just become yet another piece of zombie information, which will appear in dishonest talking points or gish gallops. The quality of public discourse and the reputation of science will continue its decline, and we'll be talking about the next example of this tomorrow.

No. Hopefully those companies do stock grants, so the workers can get a cut of the growth.
Setting aside the workplace- where I drink coffee for enjoyment and could function without it- I have discovered that a dose of caffeine makes a tremendous difference when I go running at 6AM. (Roll out of bed at 5:50) I go from feeling like I can't make it a half mile, to feeling like the world is happy & beautiful, as the caffeine kicks in. It's been quite stark once I realized what was going on.
> In good dynamic language runtimes, for example

I'm talking about C++, not dynamic languages?

Are you talking about implementing a dynamic language in C++? Sure, do whatever you want in that case. Seems pretty fair to >99.9(9...?)% of developers aren't doing that.

I think it's safe to say dynamic language writing is to dynamic memory allocation as NASCAR is to car acceleration. You (should) already know your metrics will necessarily differ from most other people's.
>It's disingenuous to say it used to be worse pre-reddit because there is no data.

It was not disingenuous to state their opinion that it used to be worse, while also noting the lack of data (to suggest that people's perceptions are influenced by the data available).
That's what I did. My water heater is in the basement, and it keeps it dry during humid summers. (I live where we have humid summers.)

In my case, it makes sense because my solar PV is also to run heat pumps for heating and charging cars, and I have a good deal for net metering. Why have a separate hot water system running to my roof when I could just make the pv system a little bigger?

At least where I live, basements get damp in the summer and people have to run dehumidifiers. The heat pump water heater acts as a free dehumidifier that never needs to be drained.
> Most of the great German authors of the period had to hold other jobs to support themselves, which made completing works slow and halting.

And yet, they were nonetheless able to be great authors. Now, contrast German authors of the 20th century, when copyright law was adopted. There's just no comparison.

Well, you're factually wrong. Abramov is the current React maintainer. Markbage is obviously a core team member but contributing good ideas doesn't automatically transform one into being the project maintainer.
CA is currently requiring the unemployed to be actively seeking work to receive benefits? That can’t be right.
Yeah, I have same problem.
I don't see how this is relevant to my comment at all. And politicians are free to and often should disagree with their constituents. We have a representative democracy and you're free to not vote for them the next election but they don't have to follow every poll for every decision.

Interesting to finally see some criticism about hooks.

The biggest problem I have with Hooks is readability. IMO, functional components with hooks are harder to reason about since they obfuscate logic in a weird react-specific contract.
Class components have a much simpler, contract and syntax. They also felt much more natural since they picked up on familiar concepts of JavaScript, albeit with a couple of drawbacks.
I get the advantages of hooks, but in a way, at least to me it seems like they, at substantial cost, solve a problem which I barely ever encountered, even after building react apps for many years.
Maybe we should consider further criticizing any institution which normalizes magical thinking.
The problem simply should not exist.

You alluded to it but the other difference is MoCA is shielded, EoP turns your house wires into a ton of radiating antennas across the frequency bands. I still have no idea how the FCC even approved the damn things after seeing what they do to the RF spectrum nearby.
The world is on lockdown. So where are all the carbon emissions coming from?
I'm somewhat ignorant of theory but when I ran into this I just kept a separate unsorted array of values to-be added. In moments of idleness the extra array is sorted and if time allows it the entire thing is sorted into the original.

Also a fun approach for an array of sorted numbers is to use bits and have the offset represent the value.
I think the upvoting mechanism is quite a large differentiator as well.

Upvotes should be for 'contributes to discussion' not for 'I agree'. But it's universally used an agreement/disagreement button on Reddit which amplifies the hivemind massively.

That plus the fact that downvoting is only granted once you've spent a considerable amount of time participating in the community can have a huge impact on the nature of discussions.
The 4ms of latency is a product of the MOCA protocol.

As a fully scheduled network, each packet must wait for a timeslot to send a reservation packet, wait for the schedule to be updated (map packet), and then wait for the actual scheduled time.

The reservation timeslots and mail packets are on a fixed schedule (approximately- there are cases where the timing changes if you have a poor link) with a consequence of an unloaded MOCA network having a transit time of ~2ms going from the master node, or ~2.5ms going anywhere else (master node transmit is faster since it gets to skip the reservation step. Times are averages, as the exact time depends on the alignment of the time of arrival to the scheduling period). Round- trip ping times should go up by roughly 4.5ms.

Under ideal conditions, it is possible to get 100Mbps UDP throughput on a pair of MoCA nodes (1518 byte packets). The physical media can support up to 110Mbps (MOCA 1.0), 140Mbps (MOCA 1.1) or 450Mbps (MOCA 2.0) user throughput per channel (up to 5 channels in MOCA 2.5), but that's shared bandwidth (all traffic summed together). Throughout will fall off in bad channels (minimum 40Mbps), or if you use smaller packets (higher scheduling requirements per packet) so YMMV

We don’t know much, and we won’t know much for a long time yet. One thing we have a reasonable handle on is how many people went in to a hospital in the last week. We know less well how many people died last week. Anything beyond that is somewhere between speculation and an educated guess. That means our policy is always going to be some amount of trial and error. Trial and error that will cost billions and the lives of thousands, but we have no other choice.

This is still (well, pre-COVID) pretty true! Coffee Garden and Publik at 9th and 9th are great places to hang out and chat and I'd feel weird pulling a laptop out.

Shouldn’t the metric incorporate the risk each activity entails? A good example is gardeners. Gardeners work alone or in teams of two, can obey social distancing, and generally don’t even talk to their clients on a regular basis. What is the threat here? What is so magical about the word essential? On the flip side large alcohol stores like Bevmo can stay open and serve hundreds of customers a day because they sell cheese and crackers and somehow that makes them ‘essential’.

It doesn’t make any sense, unless the true goal is enforcement through fear and propaganda. Disrupt people’s lives enough and they’ll start to think that the alternative must be truly terrible. That’s why you get articles claiming that even young people are susceptible where the simple math shows that the risk is low. Cherry-picked stories about the handful of children who died from the virus, instead of articles about the kids going hungry because they can’t get two free meals a day. It’s fear-mongering as public policy.
