Sutter made that point under Maintainability and robustness.

Like Sutter's answer, this point doesn't answer the complaint. People on the anti-auto side say it seriously harms readability, as locals' types are no longer clear at a glance. They aren't asking for a list of reasons why some people favour auto, they're asking for an answer to their readability problem.

Perhaps IDEs could infer types and display them as a superscript. That would keep just about everyone happy. (Perhaps not Vim users.)
People have been tried and committed for crimes in court for this type of thing. It probably varies from country to country but there is definitely legal precedence that if you come across data that you know shouldn't be publicly accessible, you can't just pretend that it's okay to use it as if it was. Intent and common sense probably plays into it.

I would link some sources because you shouldn't trust just my vague memory, but it's incredibly difficult to find the right google search terms.

Ansible doesn't handle the delete case. It has no way to "notice" that a resource is no longer in the playbook and therefore should be removed. This is why terraform keeps it's state file so it can do that sort of operation.

Show HN: Check promo video of my app for net worth tracking – BalanceViewer
That setup requires you to always have internet. It also requires you to have a remote PC somewhere where you develop. The Ipad is little more then a screen in that case. In contrast I use a Surface Pro and I don't even have a desktop PC.

That's the difference between these devices. One is a fully fledged computer where you can do whatever you want on it. The other is a glorified teletype terminal. It's fine that the iPad Pro isn't a fully functional computing device but the thing that is wrong is Apply positioning it as such.

In Java, `var` comes in useful at times. For example:

for (Map.Entry<SomeLongType, AnotherLongType> x : someMap) {
final SomeLongType key = x.getKey();
final AnotherLongType value = x.getValue();
...
}

In the above code snippet, `var x` would have been very useful because the actual type just repeats information that can be found in the next two lines. Also, usually, I'll use more speaking names instead of `key` and `value`.

But if the body of the loop just refers to `x.getKey()` and `x.getValue()`, without extracting them into local variables, then it makes sense to put the exact `Map.Entry` type into the loop header.

Thank you for the pedantism. How about I replace "Peano arithmetic" with the "operations of multiplication/addition/division/etc. expressible upon the rational numbers"?
Good read, but "The tool that really runs your containers" isn't quite right either.

Bocker (docker runtime in ~100 lines of bash) does a good job showing what's really happening. Basically namespaces and cgroups, both of which come with Linux. The source is probably the best "deep dive" on containers I've found.

https://github.com/p8952/bocker

Docker thrives because of the repository of images, a great name, and some marketing. Runc thrives because it provides a nice wrapper around namespaces, mounts, cgroups, virtual network interfaces, etc. Neither really provides the magic, though...it's already there.
>> I'm only worried that the lockdown is going to significantly affect the poorer communities worse at the expense of richer folks.

> Sorry, what? The lockdown isn't about rich or poor.

I think you misunderstood the parent comment. They are worried that the poor will be more negatively effected by the lockdown than by the coronavirus, in contrast to the rich. This has been observed in other countries, where the poor have had no way to sustain themselves without work, whereas the rich can just hide inside and wait it out without a problem.

TBH, magic sauce of SICP is Scheme. Even if is using languages other than python (common lisp, go, rust), it will simply miss the point. Idea is that you start with minimal (abstract) language constructs, progress through various problems expanding language on top of those minimal constructs and finalize everything building minimal language on top of that language. You basically metacirulate.

Python (go, rust...) aren't minimal, nor abstract enough to achieve above. For example, most of the SICP problems can be nicely solved in python, but if you are going to add evaluator, you'll need to pull parser/ast modules, which are story on it's own.
To fix this, personally I lean towards something like, "Privacy for the weak, transparency for the powerful."

Why coronavirus will accelerate the Fourth Industrial Revolution
> The virus is still spreading in every location in spite of the lockdowns. Don't believe R is below 1 even with the lockdown.

The virus still spreads as long as R is over 0; you still get new infections if there's any spread. However, an R of 1 is the boundary for exponential spread. If infections are not spreading exponentially it has to be below 1 by definition (as I understand it).

In the UK death rates and hospital admissions have been falling for some time, indicating R is currently well below 1. Neil Ferguson, one of the UK's top infectious disease modellers estimated the current R value at between 0.6 and 0.7 a couple of days ago: https://unherd.com/thepost/imperials-prof-neil-ferguson-resp... .
Did fairly well after the fact, sure.

Still messed up massively by letting (if you believe wet markets) or causing (if you believe lab was involved) the virus to start existing.

A pretty good overview of the world of OCI containers, and I really appreciate the shout-out to umoci. I will admit that I did get a little fidgety when you started talking about --detach as well as the internals of /var/run/runc (to say that these things are "a little dodgy" would be an understatement -- the phrase "fundamentally misdesigned" comes to mind), but it is nice to show folks that containers really aren't that magical at the end of the day.

I think you need to either find businesses who need similar services but don't need whole container volume or folks who want turn-key container-arrives--container-leaves--container-shows-up-somewhere-else service and they're willing to pay for it. Otherwise you're going to need ships, because unless you're floating it yourself, you're going to need to fit in to an existing profit model and the margins are going to be really thin.

I mix both: mainly using camelCase, but using underscores sometimes instead of conjunctions to make things more readable (as you say), especially to make some important meta information stand out (as in "doSomething_locked()" for a method, to indicate that it must be called within some contextual lock).

If using mainly underscores, I don't see what other separator I could use as a higher level separation. Maybe two underscores, but that could too easily be seen as a typo.
I live in one of the most continuously windy parts of the nation (US state of WY). In the winter time, the heater, a ground source heat pump struggles most when the wind is blowing. I've often wondered if a hybrid heat pump system could be built that drives the compressor and circulation system directly from the mechanical action of a wind turbine rather than first converting the wind energy to electricity, then goes back to drawing from the mains when the wind is still. My thought process is that you would lose energy by first converting to electricity, then converting electricity to mechanical motion. If someone out there likes this idea, and wants to pursue it, I hereby release it to public domain.
Clearly you have found your calling! I look forward to your book.

Africa’s top universities based on UN’s SDGs and social impact
I know of an old man who died last week in an area a short way out of Hyderabad. That area was a Red Zone (presumably due to COVID-19 cases near it), so movement in and out of the area was very much more restricted even than usual. A couple of days before he died, they tried taking him to hospital, but were told that the hospital had no doctors there that could help. Next day ditto. It was only hours before he died that they let him in at all.

In this case there’s a fair probability that he would have died anyway (probable generic cause of death: old age), and there’s no reason to suspect any connection with COVID-19 in his death. But you can definitely have deaths indirectly caused by the coronavirus, because doctors are busy dealing with other things, or even can’t get to the hospital due to lockdown!

Looking for a naturally occurring attenuated strain is a waste of time. The problem isn't a lack of vaccine candidates, it's a matter of testing latency. Any attenuated strain is just a live virus vaccine and this doesn't skip you to the head of the regulatory line. Finally, synonymous recoding with CpG enrichment is a more robust way to attenuate than relying on natural attenuation.
Yup. Basically Facebook for the alt right.

I guess it depends on where you live. In Northern Europe it's been the default for a very long time, but so has triple glazing and a foot of insulation etc (For obvious reasons). Heating is a large part of living costs and a 30% efficiency increase pays off in no time not least because the hot water is used for space heating as well as for household water.

For that reason you'd expect the same to apply for parts of northern USA and Canada.

Wouldn't it be great if your fridge could integrate directly with the heat pump, rather than indirectly via the air in an enclosed space?

In summmer, our (California) home frequently has the air-conditioning running mid afternoon, at the same time as a gas boiler is heating the pool. It would seem to make sense to use the pool as a giant heatsink for the home AC... but that doesn't exist apparently, and any plumber I talk to looks at me like I'm crazy.

The article while making some valid points is full of insinuations. This is disingenuous.

The main reason for the low death rates is the lock-down/quarantine in place. India did this very quickly and very comprehensively. I would never have believed that such a lock-down would be followed and enforced in India if i were not living through it. It would be interesting to see how quickly the slope changes once the lock-down is lifted.

Other maybe contributing factors are; Sunlight & UV exposure, High Humidity, a healthy younger population, a better immune system (hygiene hypothesis) etc.

Simply said, the "Developed Western Nations" dropped the ball on recognizing the threat and putting in counter-measures and are now paying the price.

Ansible has everything that's needed to automate instances, security groups, ELB, S3, RDS and few more things. I automated all the infra for a startup mainly with ansible (tens of services and a hundred hosts).

Terraform has better support for some static things, mostly VPC, routing tables, gateways. I've had infra retrofitted in terraform but honestly it's more for the show and as a documentation. Low level needs only be setup once and it's always been done manually forever ago.

If you were working around 2014-2017, both tools and many AWS services were new. There were significant gaps in support as well as a few bugs. Had to run from the beta build regularly. It is much better nowadays.
Not the OP, but allow me to jump in. Two years ago, I ate something perhaps and I had a severe allergic reaction. I went from a perfectly healthy individual to a familiar face in the ER in a matter of days (4 times there in a span of a month). I took prednisone for 6 months. All tests came fine. In the eyes of modern medicine, I was still a perfectly healthy individual. My doctor told me that that is the case with 95% of the people with chronic allergies - we simply don't know what's the root cause of their problem. In other words, the immune system is extraordinarily complex, and if you could avoid messing up with it, you should probably do that.

Now, a vaccine does exactly that. It plays some games with the immune system. Sometimes the outcome of the game is weird, just take a look at [1]. Here's a random snippet:

"Encephalitis (severe brain reaction), which can lead to permanent brain damage (as many as 1 per 83,000)."

Variolation as opposed to vaccination, has the advantage that the only side effect is that you can get the disease itself, but no weird interactions with the immune system. All right, in the case of Covid19, the disease can have such weird interactions, so it's difficult to say it's an obviously better alternative, but still, that's the main idea.
