I've seen you say similar things in a few other threads, and myself and others have said, every time: the risk to everyone is that the hospitals become overwhelmed. They are not right now because of stay-at-home orders. What you think of as failure - hospitals currently low utilization - is in fact success.
Assuming "meaningless" truly is an apt description for them, I actually think this makes Tolstoy's stories seem all the more intriguing. Most violence and tragedy in life is meaningless, we humans ascribe meaning to it. It's sometimes fun to read a fictional piece and contemplate why the themes resonate with me, without having a ham-handed, prefabricated meaning shoved down my throat. Modernized fairy tales (and almost all modern fiction) are not intended to confront the consumer with these kinds of emotional/intellectual obstacles without a moralistic guide. This often makes it suitable for children, but I wonder if we underestimate children's ability to confront this kind of ambiguity (but that doesn't necessarily mean we should read Tolstoy's stories to them, or only ever offer ambiguity as a moral socialization strategy).
They mention that bandwidth is anemic at higher frequencies... so how well does this really work? And what kind of power is being pumped through those lines?

I am actually creating a resource for this exact use case. You are very right that there is very little out there that specifically focuses on the more intermediate to advanced developer.

A major issue that most of the developers like me and you within this demographic face is that of most beginner-focused content not being fast enough to learn with. This along with the fact that time is often a big issue for us. I've had numerous times where I had to learn a new framework within a 1-2 week time span in order to plug some work gap or speed up a project, and found no legitimate resources that could allow an intermediate developer like me to learn faster.

This is why I am currently creating content targeted specifically at intermediate to advanced developers and teaching new languages and frameworks (using the 'constructivist' method) in a way that makes the process of learning them much more efficient. In short, faster.

It's a little rough around the edges but you can check out the blog where I share my current tutorials here: https://fromtoschool.com.

To gain a better understanding of why the method of teaching that I've described is more efficient than others for the intermediate developer, check out this post: https://fromtoschool.com/why-most-programming-tutorials-are-...

> Genkin et. al exploited along with capacitors changing size too, to extract RSA keys:

In my opinion, the most fascinating work of side-channel attacks by Genkin et. al, is the chassis ground potential side-channel [0]. Apparently, the conducted electromagnetic emission also induces a small voltage on the computer chassis ground (Earthing/Grounding is only for 50 Hz/60 Hz AC, it doesn't do anything at RF). Direct attack by probing the chassis is not the only way to attack, anything connected to the chassis ground, such as a CAT-5 cable, can be used. The most mind-blowing thing is, it even works across a human body! So basically, someone can steal your private key by touching your computer.

Wow quite amazing. I am thoroughly impressed with the quality. It seems real. I wonder, how do you think you are benefiting society with this technology?
Disagree. I understand `this`, but I very, very rarely encounter situations where it doesn't mean the same thing as Java's `this`. When you work on a full-React codebase, it just doesn't really happen. We used to have weird `this` behaviour on event handlers, but arrow functions and hooks fixed this.

Not saying it's good or bad, just an observation
Your experience is typical even in the cleanest of AC power conditions. Powerline is hilariously oversold and regularly provides less than 25% of the advertised throughput.

This blogger has some great examples: https://specklepattern.wordpress.com/2018/03/03/seven-genera...

The "2 gigabit" adapters top out at 470mbit when both sides are plugged into the same duplex receptacle. That number is cut in half when you move to another room, and it gets worse from there.

Every Powerline vendor, without exception, are using funny math when coming up with their advertised throughput numbers. In no situation will they ever be able to provide 50% of their stated throughput, and more typically it's closer to 10%.

> There seems to a ton of people with long term organ damage from this thing

Are there? I've seen only a few isolated anecdotes. In any illness affecting tens of thousands, there will be a few who experience particularly severe complications. It's not useful to portray these complicated and severe outliers as being typical. Right now, the data show that the vast majority of people who contract this virus fight it off without experiencing any symptoms whatsoever and suffer no long-term damage at all, which is exactly what you'd expect from a typical virus infection.

People keep claiming that this virus has exotic and dangerous features atypical of coronaviruses and viruses in general: I've seen everything from claims of immediate reinfection to 30-day incubation periods to long-term gonad damage. None of these claims has been substantiated on the basis of anything but isolated (and frequently unsourced) anecdotes, and a very strong Bayesian prior should be that this virus works like any other and doesn't actually do these random and exotic things.

There seems to be a contingent of very online people who want to sow as much fear and anxiety over this thing as possible, even if it means presenting a warped view of the data. We should reject this endeavor.

I don't think it was a 'meme' - if you're thinking it was just something on Facebook or something like that. It was and still is a government goal informing their policy.

Thankfully, you appear to be overwhelmingly outvoted in this "let's set up a peeing section for the swimming pool" position. Lockdown measures and the activist governors pursuing them are, for the moment, overwhelmingly popular --- the population as a whole is strongly more concerned that lockdowns will end too early, and strongly more worried that they will suffer health consequences from C19 than that they'll suffer economic consequences from lockdown.
They're great for bringing in good comments from new accounts as well.
First of all, you can shorten that to this:

((t1.f1 IS NULL AND t2.f2 IS NULL) OR (t1.f1 = t2.f2))

That's logically equivalent because TRUE OR UNKNOWN evaluates to TRUE, while FALSE OR UNKNOWN evaluates to UNKNOWN, which is not TRUE and therefore gets excluded.

Second, the complicated one that shows up in MERGE or UPSERT operations is the other way:

((t1.f1 IS NULL AND t2.f2 IS NOT NULL) OR (t1.f1 IS NOT NULL AND t2.f2 IS NULL) OR (t1.f1 <> t2.f2))

Third, this is exactly why many RDBMSs support the IS [NOT] DISTINCT FROM syntax defined in ANSI SQL, which replaces the first:

t1.f1 IS NOT DISTINCT FROM t2.f2

Or this which replaces the second:

t1.f1 IS DISTINCT FROM t2.f2

MS SQL Server and MySQL don't, but Oracle and PostgreSQL do. It's been in the standard for over 20 years at this point. So it's not the language that sucks; it's your vendor.

The existence of this technology is bad for the world; the content that's created is a form of pollution. On the other hand, it's a pretty impressive demonstration of technical ability. I hope this project fails quickly, so that you can move onto a different, more prosocial one.

I'd wager that the UK is a little more extreme than most European nations with respect to privacy, at least as described by German and a Dutch friends of mine.

I believe that the American conception of rights is quite distinct from the European one. In the US, the rights outlined in the constitution are independent of the state, which was engineered as their guarantor. These rights restrain the state, and ought ostensibly to be universally applied, but offer no guarantee of service beyond the securement of those rights, and provision for the common defense.

Conversely, European rights seem to be hard-earned privileges or guarantees on quality of life that have been extended to the people by the state. These rights can directly impose duties on either the state, or certain members of the population (I.e. employers).

Functionally, they're pretty similar day to day, but European-style rights benefit from flexibility, but are also much more likely to be subject to provisions or restrictions such as laws around speech, in part because they're closer to a negotiable agreement between the people and their government, as opposed to some inviolate universal law which requires extreme measures to actually amend.

Europeans generally seem to have a higher quality of life, and are afforded better care and services by more broadly competent governments.

They have superior labor protections. I wish we had some of them. I'm not convinced they have more rights, as I would define them.
It's even more impressive when you realize that in many cases the opinions are largely researched and written by clerks.

The second link is death per 100,000 people (not death of confirmed cases), that, for 18-45, is 14.21 per 100,000 (0.014%). There are confirmed cases of 1705.26 per 100,000 for 18-45. Thus, the death for 18-45 over confirmed cases is 0.83%, much higher than flu for 18-49, which is 0.02%: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2018-2019.html. Noted that the new antibody tests showed much higher cases than the confirmed cases. But the 0.01% number you cited is wrong. Please fix.

To be fair, the cost of COVID medical care pales in comparison to the likely impact on future earnings these shutdowns are having.

If it's strictly about money, we should cease shutdowns immediately. But, it's not. People are dying.
This is untrue. We may have plateaued but we haven't yet seen a significant drop from the peak yet. 4 days ago there were 115 deaths, then 93 the next day, then 89 the next, that's as high as the peak you're referring to. Source - daily department of health releases https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/OPA/Pages/New-Release-2020....

The drop you are inferring from your graph appears to be a be a reflection of a noisy data set, and the graph is a week out of date.
You sound far more confident about a number of those details than I think anyone with expertise are.

This is a conclusion you can only reach retrospectively.

Yep, there it is. The famine is intentional because the left wants people not to have meat.

First, they pretend it is an accident, then, once the freedom to eat the food you want has been destroyed, the real reason comes to light.

It's a piece in a UK newspaper: obviously they're going to focus on the situation for most of their readers and the options that somebody in the UK might have for online shopping. It's not trying to be a survey of the whole global online shopping market or a resource for people in Brazil or Turkey, and frankly it would be an entirely different and much less useful article if it attempted that.
Food for thought - if say 70% of cases are asymptomatic or mild (and therefore they don't get tested), then NYC's CFR already drops to 0.2% for the bucket you are referring to.

It feels a little bit like saying modern cars are extremely optimized for a fast acceleration which consists of a 0-to-60 of 3 seconds instead of 9 seconds, and acceleration delay is not negligible in this case. I mean, I suppose you're right and it would be a 3x improvement, but surely you're not using your (general-purpose) heavyweight tool (car) to just zoom down the block and back at peak acceleration all the time, right? And if you really do have a niche requirement like that, aren't there bigger fish to fry here (like eliminating the car or the need to transport people there & back altogether)?

>Disney claims anyone using a Twitter hashtag is agreeing to their terms of use

No, they are not. They are claiming that anyone who replies to that specific tweet and uses that hashtag agrees to certain terms.

I think there is a difference - there is a level of intent associated with direct replies to a tweet vs. simply using the hashtag.
In places like India I know that bribery and misinformation is more widespread than anyone could ever imagine.

Instead of a writer writing a clickbait article / low quality SEO (written by someone off-shore) article in 5 minutes, they could generate an article with our AI (provided they give us quotes, context, etc.) within that same 5 minutes. The difference is that we can iterate on our models and integrate our cross referencing fact-checking algorithms to ensure we generate meaningful articles.

Long term health implications have nothing to do with the lockdowns, and extending them has no impact on those theoretical boogey-men.

Lockdowns were intended to 'flatten the curve' so that hospitals aren't overwhelmed. The same number of people will get sick but over a longer period of time. Keeping the lockdowns in full effect will only ensure that those who get disproportionately sick are the ones in critical services and healthcare.

Choosing to violate people's constitutional rights based on hypothetical long term implications is also extremely disconcerting.
Stroke Patient Regains Ability to Lift Foot and Completes a 5k with Device
memset has always been required to set N bytes starting at a given address to zero. That's the requirement. Been that way since it appeared in AT&T Unix and beat BSD's bzero to the ANSI C punch.

There is no need for a broken memset that fails to set some of the bytes, so that a fixed one under a different name has to be used in its place.

If you're using memset such that it's okay for memset not to set some of the bytes, and you'd like them not to be set if that makes things faster, then you shouldn't be using memset. You're using a hammer to drive a screw: wrong tool.

C has perfectly good initialization and assignment for structures.

End of story; I'm going to walk away pretend I never read this subthread, re-joining the hordes of C programmers using memset in the normal way, adding to the countless lines of code that do it that way and are never going to be changed.

This bullshit will be backpedaled out of the standard eventually, you just wait.
That’s not how I interpreted the ruling from the case you linked, although I’m not a lawyer:

Article 2(a) of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data must be interpreted as meaning that a dynamic IP address registered by an online media services provider when a person accesses a website that the provider makes accessible to the public constitutes personal data within the meaning of that provision, in relation to that provider, where the latter has the legal means which enable it to identify the data subject with additional data which the internet service provider has about that person.

Additionally, from a cursory read, it appears like they are only talking about dynamic IP addresses anyway, but you, as a service operator, have no way of knowing if an IP is dynamic or static.

This. While systemd has a lot of issues that are obvious from a distance, everyone who hates it has had it break something because of a really stupid design decision it made.
This is absolute nuts. There is no data that is being provided for such heavy handed measures. Virus can kill but that does not mean we should hide indoors for foreseeable future.
The outrage is that they said that by using a specific hashtag you are agreeing to something. Which taken by itself is outrageous.
> Is there a 4th option I did not think of? Because I can't figure out how they are going to end this.

Some flavor of mandatory mask/glove/bunny suit wearing and social distancing (e.g. mandatory table-to-table distance at restaurants) would keep the curve flat while allowing a majority of day-to-day life to resume.
To anyone reading the comment above, it is extremely poor advice and should not be followed.

Stay at home and shelter in place orders are not solely for the purpose of protecting ones-self from contracting the virus. They also serve to limit the spread from unsuspecting carriers. You can carry and spread the virus unknowingly and this will result in susceptible people contracting it and dying.

The only way we know that shelter in place orders worked is if they feel like an overreaction after this is all over with.

We're all scared and desperately seeking answers and relief. We all want this to be over as soon as possible.

But we must put the public health above all else. This is not the time for egocentric defiance of the recommendations from our leaders.
> Meanwhile, data is coming out to show that coronavirus has a very low fatality risk to anyone under the age of 50, and to anyone without pre-existing health conditions.

> A blanket shutdown does not make any sense when the vulnerable demographic has been clearly identified.

When the "vulnerable demographic" is forty percent of the population, a blanket shutdown makes a lot more sense. We cannot simply consign four out of ten people to severe illness, unknown long-term complications, and/or death.

We're aiming for 1.0 by Q3 2020. I wrote a bit about it here: https://tokio.rs/blog/2019-11-tokio-0-2/#a-roadmap-to-1-0 That said, io_uring may end up impacting that target by a little bit.

I understand the sentiment re v1. In reality, Tokio v0.1 was pretty much 1.0. We never cut 1.0 because async/await was in the works and it was unclear when it would be released. Now that async/await is out, 0.2 was a big change. We need some time to stabilize our APIs and collect user feedback. This process is happening now and going well.

80/20 rule? Make the problem simpler and deliver a better solution for it. Revisit and grow the problem space as needed.
Serious question: if restrictions aren’t lifted now then will they be? What will be meaningfully different June 1st rather than May 1st?

Is it shelter-in-place until we get more testing? Or the AppleGoogle contact tracing? Or is it shelter-in-place until a vaccine... in 18 months?

What are the conditions required to start slowly relaxing the shutdown?

Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes. I haven’t left my home for two full months. I started preparing for the worst in early February. There are many options in between “full lockdown” and “fully open”. We won’t be in full lockdown for 18 months. So, what are the requirements to start slowly lifting.
