Please don't take the comments I wrote above as overt criticism, I was trying to point out some of the potential pitfalls in DIY function generators. As I said your project seems really interesting, especially if the software interface is polished.
I never said businesses will come back from grave. But people will want to get out once this passes. I'm personally sick of staying at home, I am going to try to make better use of my time. Somebody will get that business anyway.

I am also putting off repairing my car until after all this passes. Yes, car repair shops may be at loss now because I decided not to do business with them, but my car is still broken and I will probably have to pay premium to get my favorite mechanic to take a look.

This is "economy" we are talking about. It is an average over a lot of individual cases. It does not care that a lot of companies will die if the ones that survive get more business.
Have you looked at the Fed's balance sheet lately? It is quite literally off the charts.

It is no harder to inflate the dollar than any other currency. Print enough of them, and the their price will go down. It's no different from any other commodity.
These are good arguments, so it comes down to the question whether this type of business could be profitable in the first place.

As a frequent user of these services I would be fine with paying a bit more. What I most enjoy is the ability to get a ride within 1 minute timeframe and very comfortably through the app. Ideal to not lose any daily time when going to work and back. Taxis require more organising and waiting time. There is definite value for me. Are there enough other people who find value in this? I am not sure, but we definitely will find out.

Do you think Uber blindly believes they can ask customer's more money or reduce their costs or are they deceitful?

Regarding starting from higher price point. This seems like a solvable issue. I in general don't think we need specialist drivers or so called taxi to exist unless for niche crowds. It seems a lot more optimal if most people can go in and out when they want and do it. This must be cheaper and optimal due to scale and algorithms ability to select fitting driver's from a huge pool.

One thing unnoted is though future potential for self driving transport.

Right now I will be long on Uber though.

My life has gotten so much easier with ride hailing services (I don't have a car and I find it cheaper to ride hail than to maintain a car anyway) so it definitely makes sense for me to invest in them.

Machine Learning Interpretability
This is anecdotal and it might come across as bitter and tonedeaf as someone who is not in a STEM job and cant see the bigger picture very well. Im a diesel engine tech who repairs those big trucks carrying food and shit tickets to grocery stores. the fact that ANY market is completely detached from whats actually happening to Americans is frustrating.

My job just cut benefits and hours but we're "essential."
Remember those $1200 checks? Im still waiting on mine. Lenders and banks were supposed to start going easy on loans but ive had two emails and a phone call about the loan for my Silverado this month and wouldnt you know, the caller was excited to mention my stimulus check.

A guy who used to be my bartender now couch surfs a few days a week at my place while he looks for work. His mother is getting evicted from an assisted living center in a few days and his girlfriend is sick. She 'works at the Amazon' so she cant take any time off, but hes hoping if he gets a job at the Flying J at the edge of town he can switch places with her and she can take a few days off.

Shops are closing and nobody seems to care. Ive counted 2 furniture stores, a consignment shop, a few barber shops, and half the god damn bars in this town including one that was burned to the ground "mysteriously" over the last two weeks. Someone spray painted a swastika on the late night pizza joint.

So yeah this is a recession but it is so much worse than a lot of people think. No school means poor kids roam the street like packs of feral dogs asking for money for food around here. Half the country is out of work and the best Bloomberg can come up with is "its the start of a recession dont you know!"

For the first section, where he uses a Hessian and finds he really only needs one step for linear regression -- isn't he basically doing a newton method, and it works more or less perfectly b/c with the normal squared error term (L2 norm) his problem is exactly quadratic? I haven't unpacked his math carefully but I think (quasi)newton methods are often worth a look if (a) your dimension is small enough that the the D^2 hessian is ok, and (b) your data is small enough that you can afford to us exact derivatives rather than mini-batch estimates.
To be honest, this looks a lot more like a script to set up your preferred environment, not a minimal i3 install. It includes a lot of packages like Firefox, docker, fish, etc that have nothing to do with i3.
There is some nuance. Coworkers at my level are always fair game. A boss? Depends on the boss. Well adjusted bosses I have a great working relationship with? Definitely. Those have been the majority of my managers over my 20 year career. Bosses with an unhealthy demeanor or an axe to grind? Or executive leadership? No, unfortunately not. In those situations, I've found success in conversations with their peers or someone from HR lets a pay band slip. People like to talk, people like attention. YMMV.

When someone asks me, to show I'm honest, I provide my paystub. I accept that the data I receive might not be accurate, but that doesn't stop me from trying.
I mean it's fun because you get a pithy statement out of it - but at the heart of this is the human notion of computation of which the two leading models of expression are the lambda calculus and the Turing machine.

They're both equivalent so it should almost be expected that if you go far enough along the horseshoe you end back on the other side.

A bit like how Java eventually got lambdas.

But when the capitalists come up with communism, it is interesting to observe the implementation they come up with after travelling the road they have come, much like when the communists come up with capitalism...
They went to 50+ services in a few months, were applying the same policies across all services. It sounds like they didn't plan well enough and jumped straight into it, without any good DevOps or infrastructure mindset. It was a disaster waiting to happen. This shouldn't be an article that people read and say "Oh Im never using Microservices". This should be an article people read and say WOW that is exactly the right way to NOT break apart a monolith.

That is an optimistic outlook and I hope you are right.

But I bet you are wrong. The destruction of the energy industry will last into 2021 and that alone will drag the economy down. There are also 26 million people who have been out of work and some non-zero percentage of those people won't be able to find work when or if the national economy is full reopened. Then there is the phenomenon of people retracting from spending after big financial events.

...and people are going to be scared for a long time, probably until there is a vaccine. I saw Reuters poll yesterday that indicated 40-60% of people would not go to the movies, a concert, sporting event, conference, or other large gathering until there was a vaccine. To expect that there won't be a trickle down impact from people retreating into their homes is... optimistic.

...but I hope you're right. The pessimists (me) dominate the headlines but the optimists are right more often.
==Great news for those companies.==

The downside for those companies will be the regulators at DOJ. I have no doubt they will survive this pandemic in even better shape than before. The question then is if the government will work to break them up.

Obvious examples would be splitting YouTube from Google, splitting Instagram and WhatsApp from Facebook and forcing Amazon to pick a side (own the marketplace or be a seller).
Signs You Should Invest in Your Brand Identity
> So the market is looking to, what, 2025 or something?

Sure. People are basically betting that stock prices are cheap right now, and if they hold onto them for a few years they'll be back to where they were.

Look at the 2008 recession. If you bought then you'd be doing very well.

They're basically betting that the worst has already been priced-in. In a sense, they're probably betting that we won't get a totally calamitous re-opening of the shutdown, or a totally calamitous fall and winter next year. But, in any case, most people adhere to the idea that stock prices always go up eventually, and therefore they buy accordingly.
uMatrix defaults to blocking nearly everything from third parties. Most sites do not work 100% properly; many 'simple' sites will not even render because of how common it is to outsource content delivery to cloudflare et al.

It's painful, but it's (for me) the only sane way to browse. I'm willing to trade a few seconds of determining what 3rd party sources I'm going to allow when visiting a new site in exchange for minimizing tracking and malicious ads.

"Sales of monitors increased by 73 percent compared to last year, PCs were up 53 percent, printers were up by 61 percent, and microphones were up by a massive 147 percent. Chromebook sales are also reportedly seeing triple-digit sales increases, which makes sense given how popular they are in classrooms.

Underpinning all this tech is a 70 percent increase in the sale of networking equipment. Although not detailed in Baker’s tweets, we’ve also seen a shortage of webcams, leading to skyrocketing prices."

It does look like some businesses besides medical equipment manufacturers have benefited. I'd be shocked if other things like sewing machines haven't seen huge growth in sales, also.
I used to work as a senior technical support for BEA Weblogic and had all sorts of crazy situations to debug remotely. Including one time when I had to get a person to edit a config file in Vim (which they never used before), on Unix (which they never used before), with me guiding them by phone (no visuals).

This is the one I recorded that seems to fit into the current theme:

I have a quick suggestion for you, re: using Linux: rely on web apps. iCloud.com works fine on my Linux laptop using FireFox. Same with a Microsoft Office 365 (web apps, not native apps). I am a million miles away from being a security expert, but in my non-expert opinion, I feel safer using web apps than native apps, especially on my iPhone. I hate installing apps, and always resent prompts like “install our f@cking app...”

Not all lists have thumbnail with images, it could be a taqble with pure text, I think that doing a single request and grabbing 1000 rows of text and have it instantly accessible is much better then paginating it and doing the Next Page and loading screen etc.

I am not talking about infinite data here, but data that fits in one single request, that also fits in RAM but does not fit all at once as rendered DOM elements, so the fix is that the GUI widget for this table is smart and instead of rendering 1000 tables will not do that, will render just the visible part and the a few rows above and under the viewport, when you scroll the data in the table cels is changed and no new DOM elements are created. This should be soemthing that the developer should not think about, in this sane GUI toolkits you just do something like

widget.dataProvider =myData;

Edit:

Also for the case of youtube videos, you don't load "download" the thumbnails, those are just string, a sane toolkit will not load all those thumbnails until you bring them into view. I hate YT implementation, you get 3 rows of video then you scroll wait 2 seconds for next 3 rows to load, scroll again, wait again 2 seconds. You could have loaded the strings for all the videos, then lazy load the thumbnails when needed and skip the step of fetch me the next page of string after the strings arrive now fetch the images for those strings.

If this bug would cause you any significant damages whatsoever, you're doing it wrong. Hard disks fail all the time. This bug is quite analogous to a harddisk failing. Backup everything that matters.

Even if you did somehow manage to lose enough money that the damages could bankrupt Valve (or even pay for your lawyer), I doubt you would win. Basically all software these days disclaims all warranties. This wasn't malicious or particularly out of the ordinary for this industry.

iOS provides a lot less ways for third party apps to dig into the OS and interact with other apps. The same thing Android fans hate about it, the lock-in and lack of customizability, offers it a lot of additional privacy protection.

In general though, regardless of your phone ecosystem: Remove as many apps as you can from your device. Only install the ones you need and remove ones you don't frequently.
Social Distancing on Websites
Unsplash shows how social distancing should be. Scroll down on the website and you will see the pictures spreading out to maintain a safe distance.
If global lockdowns were only for around 1 month, the world would probably bounce back with minimal impact.

If as looks likely they trail on for months, the second order effects will mean that unemployment and misery spread from industries like travel to every other industry (for example no airlines means no advertising on travel, which means Google takes a huge hit on profits Q2, which means they freeze acquisitions, which means funds are reluctant to invest in startups as there are no exits, which means startups in every industry stop advertising, which means Google suffers more).

So recovery may not be quick unfortunately, even well after Coronavirus is mostly over.

"Train for skills" is much more common in other countries, although less common than it used to be. Those experienced hires didn't get to be experienced at zero cost to anyone - other employers enabled them to become experienced.

I accept that I have a number of beliefs that are considered heretical to other programmers. = Should be for testing equality, not assignment. Null should equal null in SQL. Whitespace is a bad delimiter.

Bear in mind every other country in the world is also practicing competitive devaluation (hence USD relatively unchanged), and the unrest over global inflation post the 2008 binge of QE led to wars and revolutions across North Africa and the middle east.

I'd love to read about the thesis/explanation you just outlined. Do you have a link or two on the specific topic of competitive devaluation v inflationary challenges and the global conflicts?
> Since there really hasn't been a capitulation, where everyone who would ever sell actually sold, it's likely the bears are still in control.

I have heard this before, but I am having trouble feeling this. How do you determine capitulation? We had several days where trading was halted for a time due to steep losses, and 3/16 was the second biggest percentage loss in history (for the Dow at least).

If that isn't capitulation, what is? Hitting the 20% circuit breaker a few days in a row? Only in 1987 has the market fallen more than 20% in a day.

One reason I think the market is rising is because "everyone who would ever sell actually sold". Therefore, only the eternal optimists are left; the pessimists are sitting this one out.
There was a period of time when Service had a different meaning than microservice. A service traditionally may exist across bounded contexts and be almost a mini-monolith whereas a strict microservice should touch very few data models and exist strictly in a bounded context.

Of course real life is messy and plenty of people realized writing small single purpose services was valuable, and plenty of people build giant "microservices" that have nothing to do with the original term and are just badly constructed monoliths.

Thanks for checking it out! For the most part, the translations are all automatic via Google Translate—I only speak English and “cereal box French”. I know the quality of some translations are terrible, but for me it was more an exercise and learning experience in localization (for example I never would have learned about my inability to think in right-to-left had I not auto-translated to Arabic).

The app hasn't made anywhere near enough money to warrant paying professional translators to translate things, but if you know anyone who wants to contribute, I'd happily take a pull request at [1]—I've already had people submit an Italian translation, and fixes for Russian and Japanese.

Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer.

Hooks definitely lead you towards a different approach for writing components with a different set of tradeoffs. I talked about this in my post "Thoughts on React Hooks, Redux, and Separation of Concerns" [0], and my ReactBoston 2019 talk on "Hooks, HOCs, and Tradeoffs".

For React-Redux specifically, `connect` still works fine and we will be supporting it indefinitely. However, we're now recommending that people use our hooks API as the default approach, because it's typically simpler to work with and there's less indirection.

Printing money hasn't caused inflation since world war 1 and that's because the demand for USD is virtually unlimited.
As long as the money printed comes back to the government as taxes, it's not an issue. Else it becomes a deficit.
This was already theorized by modern money mechanics and this incident is proving it right
I'm not even sure Comcast even enforces them consistently / have the tech to do so accurately in all cases.

A long time ago I signed up for Comcast after i bought a new home. Long story short even before setting up the equipment Comcast accused me of violating data caps. Eventually I moved in and nothing worked. Comcast sent someone out and we found that the folks who built the house had literally never connected the cable to the house. The rotted coax was sticking out of the ground by the garage... I guess the squirrels were violating the data caps...

Years later I'm pretty sure I've been uploading way more than the cap should allow... and they never say a word.

It's also at the same level as one year ago. The economic situation, and outlook, is surely worse than one year ago? What has improved is the Fed inclination to make it true that stonks can only go up.

You answered your own question with Netflix. While you're right that it's not clear Netflix would've needed to develop their chaos monkey tooling and the like, it's not clear at all at that an equivalent system is possible as a monolith. Even if a monolithic Netflix system were technically possible, it's not clear if a monolithic system would be organizationally feasible either (Conway's Law)
By that standard so is the whole of America. There's a line to draw somewhere.
