It's not just Covid. If the hospitals are overwhelmed, that car accident you get into means you might not be able to get medical care, causing a small issue to become deadly. You may not be able to get treated for a heart attack.

Further, we are seeing people still testing positive and having health problems over a month after first symptoms. If your entire supply chain is taken out, essential or not, you can end up with larger problems than when you started. If you think it's a problem that the meat packing plant has to close after a single case, wait until 75% of the plant is symptomatic.

Finally, the solution is to have enough tests and contact tracing so that people can confidently open up, knowing that we can stop the rate of transmission. This shutdown should be used to prepare for a way we can safely reopen, a la South Korea.

Yes, this exactly. These problems are absolutely possible to solve through political action. But our leaders have had ample opportunities, spread out over more than a decade, to do so. And they've sent a clear signal that they simply won't.

Excerpt:

Do quick shutdowns work to fight the spread of Covid-19? Joe Malchow, Yinon Weiss and I wanted to find out. We set out to quantify how many deaths were caused by delayed shutdown orders on a state-by-state basis.

To normalize for an unambiguous comparison of deaths between states at the midpoint of an epidemic, we counted deaths per million population for a fixed 21-day period, measured from when the death rate first hit 1 per million—e.g.,‒three deaths in Iowa or 19 in New York state. A state’s “days to shutdown” was the time after a state crossed the 1 per million threshold until it ordered businesses shut down.

We ran a simple one-variable correlation of deaths per million and days to shutdown, which ranged from minus-10 days (some states shut down before any sign of Covid-19) to 35 days for South Dakota, one of seven states with limited or no shutdown.

The correlation coefficient was 5.5%—so low that the engineers I used to employ would have summarized it as “no correlation” and moved on to find the real cause of the problem. (The trendline sloped downward—states that delayed more tended to have lower death rates—but that’s also a meaningless result due to the low correlation coefficient.)

I'm going to have to argue with 3 a bit.

The market incorporates news quickly, such as that there is a pandemic and it is going to have bad effects. Then it essentially forgets about it. I suspect most of the 12% is a response to government actions to control the pandemic and to the recent news that it is coming under control. You will see another drop if relaxing controls leads to another covid spike, and when economic effects appear on corporate financial reports, and when long term job losses are reported. Those are perfectly foreseeable, but in the meantime the market will likely go up as the memory of why they went down in the first place fades.

I agree with you in such cases, but I'm willing to bet that most codebases don't need to be as big as they are, and that it's better to create an incentive to collaborate and keep the codebase maintanable and small.
I really recommend learning more about what you're complaining about before arguing with people about how you think something works.

Your jargon doesn't even make sense. "iterating that piece of code in your function"?

Put a console.log() at the top of your function and you'll see that it's simply being called many times.

That's become true recently (we're now neck and neck with South Korea), as Korea's case rate has plummeted; South Korea has essentially weathered this storm, or at least the first wave of it. But it's nowhere close to true compared to Italy; our per-capita test rate is half that of Italy's. And Italy's test positive rate is something like half that of ours; the point 'jcranmer makes --- that you can work out whether we're undertesting from our test positive rate --- stands.

The amount of stock may be based on a much higher valuation at this point.
Does anyone else remember Occupy Wall Street here in the US? Millions camping out in parks demanding change and support. But they were unable to rally, organize, create any lasting impact on the elites and wealthier strata of society. The middle and top looked down on the bottom as an annoyance. They were literally removed by riot police, and the movement died. Unsurprisingly, the number of homeless people increased drastically in that same period (financial crisis) and how have many municipalities responded? Laws against sleeping on benches. There was literally a tent city under Las Vegas, but the decision makers in this society are so far removed it just doesn’t matter. Until the bread runs out, we are not in a real “end of the world” crisis as you describe it. Americans are apathetic, just wealthy enough not to starve, have deeply ingrained individualism that makes them resistant to anything resembling support or handouts, and don’t understand what’s happening - that is to say, the rich are getting so rich their families will never be poor again, and the doors to that class are closing. There’s more support now for ideas like a basic income, universal healthcare, etc. but the fundamentals of the system are so ponderously difficult to change...a very interesting situation.
Keep in mind death is not the only negative outcome of this. My wife's uncle is relatively young (50s), completely healthy, gainfully employed, and has contracted Covid. He's been in the hospital for over a month, has been on a ventilator for weeks, is currently off but has been in and out of the ICU, his lung has collapsed, he can't feed himself, he can't walk, and he's currently re-learning how to swallow. If he makes it out of the hospital (that's a question mark right now), he's not going to be able to support himself. He won't be able to walk without getting winded so he will need a wheel chair, which will prevent him from doing the job he had before he went in. His experience, which has a decidedly negative economic impact and which is not uncommon for those who have needed to be hospitalized by covid, is completely missing from the "covid only impacts old people who were unproductive and probably would have died anyway" narrative.
Considering they somehow couldn't make a profit before this, I'd be surprised.

Show HN: Leantime 2.1 – open-source Project Management System
Family culture that values education, responsibility, etc is not at all based on wealth. I grew up poor, both my parents worked two jobs - mainly we didn't have money because there were lots of kids and certain incidents that kind of took the financial wind out of us. I walked a long way to school and I can't not remember ever having a bed time story read to me or my brothers. I was always on the school lunch program. But education, discipline and responsibility was valued; the same for my wife's family. Discipline and Responsibility is free and in this country so is education, schooling may cost money, but education doesn't. Now as to their culture -- there is a problem in that the parents of these children are the children of parents that also did not value education...it is a perpetuating cycle. How to break it? This is our conundrum and thus far we have failed as it seems that all of our various efforts are doing nothing to reduce the decay.
I think so.

I still think that making the employer put a number or a range down, which might translate into some market research, would benefit everyone.
Why do you assume they have more fault tolerance scenarios simply because they have more deployable units?

In every service architecture I've worked with in the last few years, you could theoretically run every single "service" within the same physical process -- provided they all shared the same runtime/lang the way a monolith does. I tend to start service architectures using Ruby exclusively with the Eventide toolkit, so this is actually a viable approach for most teams I've worked with. But it's never ultimately made sense. Weighing the pros/cons, a consolidated deployment topology wouldn't add any benefit, and it would actually make it far more difficult for the operations folks, practically speaking.

I've helped put services into production that 1. carry out crucial, "core" business logic reliably and efficiently, 2. can be scaled horizontally without changing the code, 3. never raise exceptions or cause outages, and 4. don't need to be touched for years because new features are more naturally composed around them anyways (i.e. open/closed principle). Practically speaking, it's quite a bit easier for human programmers to reach this degree of precision with a smaller program than with a much larger one. And if you add up a lot of these high quality programs, you get a high quality system. Building a high quality system out of a single program is much, much harder for humans in practice.

I'll use crude terms here for a second: every good service put into production brings a net benefit to the organization relative to the same code having been entangled with an existing pile of code. That may sound like a "No True Scotsman" fallacy, but the definition of "good" in this context is precisely the net benefit being added. If you build and deploy services that have a high degree of quality, you get a corresponding benefit. If you build and deploy programs that _don't_ stand on their own, _don't_ leverage durable messaging, and take other programs down with them when they crash, then you get a rather large mess on your hands. In fact, you never had a service architecture at all; we call this failure mode a "distributed monolith."

I'll acknowledge that most attempts at microservice architectures in the wild don't seem to succeed. Anecdotally, they are particularly prone to failure when their architects don't understand the underlying principles of distributed systems all that well; they neglect important considerations like messaging idempotence, the deleterious effect of synchronous request/response messaging, and the need for deliberate, thoughtful design. In other words, they build systems out of N number of microservices, and get N^2 fault tolerance scenarios, which you adeptly called out for being foolish. They're arguably worse off than if they went with a monolith, but neither would be an architecture I'd personally want to work with.
Canadian here. Supply management is probably great for many producers. They participate in legal cartels engaged in mandated price-fixing, so this can protect their bottom line. For consumers it keeps prices high on things like dairy (even with the CAD in rough shape, I could still find cheaper cheese just across the border, in the US; pre-covid, mind you).

Most major countries have some kind of scheme in place to fix agriculture prices. In the case of the US there are subsidies that everyone pays, via taxes.

That's generally true, and it's a big problem with microservices, because they need so much upkeep.

But if your code is living as a few hundred or thousand readable lines in the common codebase, that isn't really a problem. The code is there, readable and working, and if anyone needs to change it they can. If it falls out of fashion, it can be deleted.
You're not giving them free money, you're getting them to pay you a lot more in total over many years by selling them a much more expensive vehicle up front. Instead of, say, $20k over 3 years, they can get $40k+ over 7 years for selling a product that doesn't remotely cost them twice as much to build. It's more profit for them.

These 0% 7 year loans are not coming from banks. They're coming from the car companies. They're a sales tool.

For what it's worth, a counterpoint from an ex-kernel maintainer who now does web stuff and distributed systems: kernel programming was usually easier for me than your standard full-stack web developer stuff. The API surface of a web stack is so large -- juggling things like a JS framework, CSS, nuances of HTTP sessions, web security, databases, load balancers, etc.

Most single-machine kernel bugs are going to be easier to figure out, once you learn some kernel APIs, of which there aren't so many.

We develop iOS applications. We have an organisation developer account with Apple that allows us to give each of our team members their own login, complete with varying permissions levels.

On a fairly regular basis, Apple updates their license agreement. This requires the account owner to read and agree to the new terms before we can make changes to our account. This is the one permission that cannot be delegated. It has to be the account owner and nobody else on the team can do it. Furthermore, that account must be protected with MFA.

We also develop Android apps. We have a similar account on the Play Store. We'd like to connect our API servers to the Google Play developer account so that we can verify receipts for in-app purchases to determine that they are authentic. Doing so requires the account owner to enable this API. No other team member is allowed to do it.

The account owner is on holiday / off sick / hit by a bus. How do we do this?

I like Linux, several flavors / distributions are fine. I think it's the most useful system in the sense that it has the most similarity to the host I'm deploying on (that's not true for everyone though). It's finally gotten good enough that I never have to make tweaks or solve weird driver issues when running it as a daily driver - this is on a ThinkPad, ymmv but I'm quite happy. Also, I have all the software I need and in fact for the work I'm doing, the tools work better than they do on Mac (Docker / Go / Python / Lisp / Scheme). Windows isn't even a consideration for me. I know it works for some people the IMO the workflow for development is cumbersome and totally un-fun. Of course if I were stuck doing .NET I would just bite the bullet and use Windows.
That is missing the point. No one doubts that it is possible to bring down the costs of storage and its infrastructure. The point is that no matter how low these costs are all nodes are driven to undercut each other until their profitability is zero.
Related to this is that the current circumstances are different from, say, 2008, which was a sort of internal collapse. A lot of this is external, regulation-driven. Not saying it's not a bad situation, or all government shutdowns of the economy, but there is a big element of it.

A lot of businesses are cutting back because people can't go out and do what they'd normally do legally. So when governments start easing restrictions, people [stockholders] are probably more optimistic because the situation seems more tractable. It's a lot more predictable than 2008 when people were talking about the collapse of fundamental financial institutions and systems involved in monetary supply because of their underlying structural composition.

I do think there's some disconnects in interpreting the stock market, but it seems to me investors are just seeing restrictions being eased, daily COVID case counts on a downward trajectory, etc. They're reinvesting in markets they see a path of recovery in, early.

What's less certain to me is if in say, July, this all gets worse again with overrun hospitals, etc. in a second wave. Then markets might really take a nosedive.

The bigger picture is not any more visible from a STEM job. I haven't left the house aside for a jog in at least a month, and I work from my kitchen. I am living in a smaller bubble than ever, the only thing I'm missing is a hamster wheel. Wait, no, there's already a treadmill in the basement.

I hope online shopping is helping the shipping industries limp along, if only a little.
The larger penalty would still probably be the taxes, which I assume aren't waved, and again assume there's enough in there to make it worthwhile. I know for myself, even though I've been diligently saving for my relatively short career, I don't think there is.
German government to bail Lufthansa out of bankruptcy with nearly $10B state aid
As many have pointed out, this rediscovers Newton's method. The reason that this type of approach with a "hessian pre-conditioning" is not widely used in practice is that computing the hessian is costly. Avoiding that additional computation is the idea underlying "quasi-Newton" methods like BFGS and (more loosely) popular methods like Adagrad.
There's a family of such methods invented by Michael Powell:

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

From what i remember, they are "trust region" methods, which work by trying to fit a quadratic function to the local neighbourhood, then analytically finding the minimum of that. The clever stuff is in how you form and update the trust region efficiently.
