The performance of D vs C and C++ should be identical for code written the same way, as they share the same optimizer and code generators.

Also, we used to publish benchmarks. These inevitably did not produce illumination, but long ripostes from people arguing that the benchmark was unfair, inaccurate, nobody would write code that way, we sabotaged other languages, etc.

We encourage people to run their own benchmarks on their own code and let the results speak for themselves.

One issue with moving to D is it takes a while for people to learn "the D way". For example, if they come from C they write C style code in D. From C++, they write C++ style in D. From Python they write Python style in D. Inevitably they'll run into some difference where D doesn't have an analogous feature, and would get a bit frustrated (even though in D the task would be accomplished a different way).

It takes a bit of perseverance and faith to get through that until one discovers "the D way" and then they're hooked.

One of the reasons for DasBetterC was to reduce this issue as much as possible, though the people who like metaprogramming with the C preprocessor will have more work to do in getting adapted to D's powerful metaprogramming features, which of course work nothing like text macros.
I think 80 is a better level. People living in Spain and similar regions, who work outside most of the year, have levels up to 220 and they have no problems with it. You should not pursue that value via supplements. Taking 2000IU or 4000IU daily is healthy, but go much higher for longer periods and you end up with calcification of your bones. That's not reversible, and it might kill you in the end.

Presumably they do see them and just assume that they will yield. However legal that might be, it's quite foolish as a practical matter.(source: many years of bicycling) To stay alive, you have to start with the assumption that cars and trucks simply can't see you.

I loved the visual presentation of the problem, but it's hard to fathom the objection to "stop" signs as a solution. At least here in the US, I regard every four-way intersection that doesn't have stop signs or lights as inherently dangerous (and I do indeed slow way down when encountering one).

Had a friend once from a Middle Eastern country, and he described their protocol thus: When two drivers approach a four-way at right angles, they look at each other. The one that looks away first has the right of way. :-(
From my experience, when I'm working on real world problems of nontrivial sizes and I see a big chunk of well organized, like a really well organized service, almost always it's because that was the latest cleanup/refactoring effort that happened after many years when the problem space was a moving target, and finally it stopped changing long enough to come up with a clean abstraction.

The cleanest code I've ever written has always been on the second or third try. Write it once, test it against the real world, then rewrite it to take the new discoveries into account. It's too bad we rarely have the luxury of breathing room to rewrite things.
>Finally in the Bay Area there's the looming problem that huge amounts of everything is paid for in RSUs (restricted stock units).

The FED and Treasury have "united" in some sense, and we have unlimited (trillions) QE flowing into equities. So unless the FED stops the money printing party, I'm not so confident this will happen.
[I can speak only from a UK perspective] surely it's convenience, not price? It's a generally good, convenient service built around an extremely slick and extremely usable app. Maybe it's slightly cheaper than local, but saying it's slashed local taxi prices? The only time Uber seems drastically cheaper is when it's entering an area and is operating at a much-higher-than-normal loss in an attempt to drive out competition. Once that period is over, it seems to use surge pricing very heavily, so often ends up more expensive (to their credit, they're normally quite good about refunding overcharges if they happen)

It is a consumer win, I'd agree with that, but I'd argue that's not to do with cost. Same as Amazon.
What did you want readers to get out of that link to support your argument that Steve Jobs therapy beliefs were batshit insane?

From the link:

"It is unknown whether Jobs’ outcomes would have been different if he had pursued surgery at the time of his diagnosis, or if had followed a specific chemotherapy protocol. And it is unknown how effective any of his acupuncture, botanical and dietary approaches may have been before or after his surgery."

Dr. McDougall concluded that "The overall consensus was, and still is, that Jobs acted selfishly, stupidly, and irresponsibly when he refused surgery in October of 2003, at the time of his original diagnosis. Based on the natural history of his disease, Jobs acted in none of these ways. The cancer had spread many years before his diagnosis, and was unstoppable by any means."

A web service can provide a schema similar to a header file to define its API but there is no "standard" format for this schema, nor is there a standard location to look for such a thing.

You can of course provide your own schema. This tool lets you design an API for a web service in a popular schema format called OpenAPI.
I ran across that Forbes article yesterday as well... amazing data:

"71,000 public employees at every level of Illinois government received six-figure paychecks. Additionally, 23,000 retirees pulled down more than $100,000 in annual pensions."
Interesting concept,thanks!
So I assume they're using a cheaper ELISA test to look for IgG/M first if the patient is known recovered or asymptomatic, but then how could rtPCR protocols create false positives transcribing viral RNA unless the primers, probes, or matched regions are too small? Are they matching un-encapsulated RNA fragments?

Is there the a type of in vitro protocol for measuring viral infectivity potential of a sample?
In terms of psychopathology, Musk is more dysfunctional than Trump. Both Trump and Musk are habitual liars (or to use a more polite term, hucksters). The difference between them is that Trump knows when he is lying and doesn't care, whereas Musk actually believes his lies are true. Worst case, Trump is likely to end up in jail and Musk may become delusional and incompetent to lead.
Thanks! I added it to my list and see how this can be done :)

I'm unconvinced that minimizing contact with raw animal meat markets -- in what you call "the lowest hanging fruit" -- would "fix" the problem with these kinds of pandemics. Not until we know they are the major factor in spreading the infection. Maybe it would help, or not, but "fix"?

Note I'm not disagreeing better sanitary conditions are desirable. I'm disagreeing -- or rather, casting doubt because I'm unconvinced -- that [quote] "we will continue to see pandemics until unsanitary practices like wet markets with exotic animal products are outlawed".

If there is a firm conclusion that this was indeed the major factor, sure. My comment was that, according to articles linked to from Wikipedia, the jury still seems to be out on this.

Nixon signed a bill in 1972 that declared just such a "war on cancer". This war has not been won. A few cancers have been reduced, but cancer as a whole remains intractable. Most of the decline in cancer deaths over the past decades are due to fewer people smoking.

I'm not saying that wars on "terror" are a good thing. It's just that cancer is a very tough problem.

Those SUVs were expensive new as well. If you head over to the new car lot, it's not hard to spend $60k on an SUV, even a domestic one with a Chevy|Ford|Jeep badge.

These are the kinds of vehicles that everyone wants to drive (along with trucks) and 72/84 month loans have been common for a while now (even for lightly used cars). So that sets price floor for trade-ins, since people can only roll over so much negative equity. Then you have to factor in that car sales in 2009-2012 were 50-60% of what they were in 2019.

So, demand is high, and supply is low. It makes sense that used SUVs are expensive. Once you start looking at less desirable models, like coupes and sedans, then prices drop considerably.

Oh, right! An iPad and Apple Pencil is probably more commonly available. I'm not entirely sure about iPad software and integration with video chat. If it's prerecorded she might be able to use whatever she wants and iPad's screen recording.

What might be easier (if you have a compatible Mac) is to use Sidecar [1]. A desktop app will probably have more options for drawing and more options for integrating with video chat software.

I appreciate the form of your comment: A factual claim followed by a statement of uncertainty.

My argument is that the comment to which I was responding was a non sequitur premised on a number of unstated assumptions. I threw in a few examples to invite the reader to think laterally, to investigate. You question my argument, so I wonder: Have you done so? Have you put the thought in to examine the claim made, and to see what other assumptions are being hidden?

Regarding the facts you emphasize, I don't agree that "only" is a good modifier to place before "100-200 years" in this context. The 2000-4000 years you mention is entirely irrelevant, given survivorship bias.
Given that many people likely would use this for HTTP traffic, and HTTP already supports compression natively, what's the value-add here?
When 2 objects are on a collision course moving in straight line motion, the heading to the other object does not change.

For this reason, efforts to detect asteroids heading toward earth by detecting their motion against the background sky will fail over short time spans. That's because the ones on an actual collision course will not appear to move against the background for a few days prior to impact. An impactor will seem to come out of nowhere.

I read up on this because I had a really bad sinus infection a couple months ago and found myself taking "Emergen-C" every morning, which advertises "1000% your daily value of Vitamin C". Immediately after my sinus infection cleared up the virus stuff started, so I kept taking it for a while.

From what I read, at least with Vitamin C, you have to get into the 2000% range before there start being negative side-effects.
There are a handful of endemic coronaviruses, and historical respiratory disease pandemics have consistently become endemic, so it seems like a reasonable assumption.
Thanks. :) Custom sounds is definitely on my list, but at the moment this is surprisingly simple and all running on free-tier Azure stuff. I'm still thinking about the simplest way to allow not only hosting of uploaded sound effects but storing custom layouts.

In the meantime, feel free to clone the repo or build your own from scratch by following the blog post I linked in my other comment. As I said it's surprisingly simple and you can run it for free.

The "For Me Only" mode would definitely help not only first-timers, but everybody listening to first-timers mashing the buttons. I guess you can always just open a different room and try it out but a dedicated mode would be handy too.
He thinks from first principles (aka how does the world really work?) and he communicates that way.

Everyone does that. Most of us just aren't stupid until to think that this means we suddenly experts in fields we know nothing about, especially when the "first principles" Musk deals with are just simplified abstractions of very complicated subjects.

Or all we all forgetting that Musk has claimed that a substance which kills people will cure coronavirus (it doesn't), that children are immune (they're not), and that coronavirus is less deadly than the seasonal flu (it's not)?

Moreover, Musk has demonstrated time and time again that he refuses to use scientific methods in his "reasoning" from "first principles", since when confronted with evidence that he is wrong he triples down on his assertions and begins making personal attacks on anyone who disagrees with him.
I haven't seen him announce that he would make Tesla or Space X a non-profit so it's gotta be at least a little bit about money.
The homeless coming in from out of state turns out not to actually be that prevalent in practice. In LA, for instance, only 18% of currently homeless residents became homeless while living out of state [0]. So if you could magically get everyone from out of state off the streets, you'd still be left with 82% of the homeless population, i.e. there'd still be a big homeless problem.

To a first order approximation, the majority of homeless are simply residents who lose a job or can't earn enough money, can't afford their rent, and end up on the street. Making a lot more housing available so it's not so impossible to afford is clearly an important part of the solution, which we seemingly can't do as long as progressive democrats are in charge.

I don't get the first sentence fully. I guess it's a sarcastic remark about the 420 price, but I can't see how it "risks people their lives". Hmm... now that I think about it, 420... weed? I wonder if he made that as a suble joke, in any case. I do get your second point, let me go into that.

I have friends who have a lot of difficulty distinguishing expressiveness and rationality. I can't do that in a post.

The best way to see the difference: find a CS/psychologically-minded person that is capable of being rational but has a default state of being creative. Yep, kind of describing myself here (= easiest description to give). They're quite easy to spot:

- they have some creative thing they like (drawing, music, anything pertaining to multimedia)

- they are also capable of going from existential and psychedelic to rational and focused within one second

- they are capable of explaining why they act crazy when they do and tell you their emotional, rational perspective on it (on parties, for example, it has a lot of instrumental value).

Hangout with them for a year. And you'll see how expressiveness is mixed with rationality.

FYI the 3 word all-caps tweet is the expressive part of Elon.

Also, I could be wrong about all of this obviously, this is simply my current opinion about it, I thought quite a bit about it (also about my biases, can't rule them out) and I think I'm right but I've been proven wrong (and right) in beautiful ways before in my life. So I could be (horribly) wrong.
I don't believe the Tesla crowd bought theirs to save on gas anyway, so not sure if this is true.
For every sign saying "I need to work to feed my family," you see 20 saying...

Ask yourself this: Why is the media playing up those fringer crazies, and not covering the very poignant, socially relevant, and human angle of "I need to work to feed my family"? Then go and look up Manufacturing Consent. Here's how propaganda often happens in the West: Emotional manipulation is better than outright ham-handed Pravda-esque censorship.

BTW, you seem to have watched the same "All Gas No Brakes" YouTube video of the Sacramento protests I did. You name the very same nutcase signs as appeared in the video. There's part of your answer right there: If it bleeds it leads. Nutcase signs are easy to get viral sharing out of. They tick the humor and outrage buttons all at the same time.

Freedom!!

This is a good thing. If someone tries to associate freedom with bad people, it's because they want all the power for their own tribe.

Note this quote from a cousin comment: "People who are 'lower on the socioeconomic ladder' are the ones going on strike for PPE, hazard pay and sick leave that the media are dutifully ignoring." Please, ask yourself why the media are dutifully ignoring certain things.

That advice of starting with a Monolith has consistently been given by those involved in Microservices since the start. I remember a Fowler article in particular. Unfortunately the "if you only have a hammer everything is a nail" analogy holds true when people start looking at where microservices may fit into an overall system architecture. Their answer is invariably - everywhere!

Really small, reusable/shareable and stable domains are the sweet spot for microservices. As you say that is most likely to come from decomposing from a monolith. Microservices can really help with building rich domain components in an overall architecture and removing complexity from other components through delegation to the microservice is my experience. They just don't need to be everywhere.

The same problem of over-eagerness is becoming apparent with some of the movement to event-based architectures. People become obsessed acolytes and there is no other way. When in fact they may well be ideal for a portion of your overall system architecture but are unlikely to serve it all well.
Pion is great. Thanks for making it!

I'd be interested to see this as a percentage of net worth or income as well. If a person with $1B gives it all away in one months that's about as philanthropic as you can get - much less so for someone with another $50B to spare. Tracking this on a "last month" basis with no information over time is just ridiculous too.

Also, the descriptions here seem pretty varied, and highly slanted.

eg. Balmer joined Microsoft when it was still a start-up, and just gets credited for the CEO years, rather than as helping grow it along the way.

Sergey Brin just has "Immigrant" for the second sentence. Martha Ingram "Author of three books". Neither of those provides any insight into the value that provided.

Overall that just makes the whole page look especially suspect, coupled with picking these 29 (or "About 30" as the About page puts it).

There's so little rationale here it makes the whole site look like advertising for something I can't work out.
For most people, excess magnesium levels would be pretty hard to reach. Unless you count loose stools as harmful, which some forms of magnesium supplements can cause.

Combining calcium and vitamin D can be seriously problematic. And high doses of calcium in general can make you more likely to end up with kidney stones -- those are not fun to pass!

Some supplements can even compete with each other for absorption (calcium & magnesium come to mind), so taking them together in a multivitamin is probably not the way to go.
Cool, Might have to write a python submodule to use some of this sometime, since we do have a lot of geo data.

Interesting...in the UK, the NHS (National Health Service) recommendation is for adults to take a 10mcg (micrograms) vitamin D supplement daily (10mcg = 400IU). This advice was issued in 2016 after a science advisory body (Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition) published a 300 page report of the evidence on vitamin D and health. [1][2]

The NHS also say more recently in response to the lockdown [3]:

Consider taking 10 micrograms of vitamin D a day to keep your bones and muscles healthy.

This is because you may not be getting enough vitamin D from sunlight if you’re indoors most of the day.

There have been some news reports about vitamin D reducing the risk of coronavirus. However, there is no evidence that this is the case.

Do not buy more vitamin D than you need.

They also warn:

Taking too many vitamin D supplements over a long period of time can cause too much calcium to build up in the body (hypercalcaemia). This can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and the heart.

If you choose to take vitamin D supplements, 10 micrograms a day will be enough for most people.

Do not take more than 100 micrograms of vitamin D a day as it could be harmful. This applies to adults, including pregnant and breastfeeding women and the elderly, and children aged 11 to 17 years.
