I must say that it looks super unusual, at least for the codebases I know, for non-trivial g, h.

e.g. I just ran

rg "[a-zA-Z0-9_]+\(.*\(.*\).*\(.*\).*\)" | grep -v if | grep -v while | grep -v for

in the Qt codebase and I can't seem to find a single example which does more than calling trivial getters, e.g. sort(v.begin(), v.end()) or foobar(point.x(), point.y())

Likely there are examples, but it's very far from the norm (and very very very very very far from the cases you have in functional languages).
The man in front of the protest to ease restrictions in my mid-sized city was a wealthy local real estate magnate.

That still doesn't change the equation for those who aren't real estate magnates and were living paycheck to paycheck before the crisis.

You either listen to all people and meet them where they're at, or you give fuel to demagogues. (Who might be rich magnates.)
It is difficult to see what your actual criticism is here. Do you object to the tone that people take when criticizing anti-vaccine arguments? Or do you object to the faith that people have in the overall utility of biomedicine? I agree that there is faith there. All it takes to renew faith in the effectiveness of peer review (for instance) is to purposefully spout some half-baked naive nonsense at a well-trained scientist and listen to their honest rebuttal without getting defensive. Science is hundreds of thousands of people doing that, all at once. Maybe the problem is that so many people don’t know any scientists to do that with?
You're definitely not gay if you think that. I'm 33 and I can assure you that I've gone from feeling relatively average to below average, to now believing firmly for the last six years that I will not have another relationship in my lifetime. And if by chance I do, it will likely be a highly casual one.

I can't keep up with everything as it is. You realize that "what matters" has changed so much just in the last few years, and once you start counting the big things, you only need to get a few in before you're out. No six pack? OK, but are you vegan? If not, then do you at least believe Sanders was robbed in 2016? Ugh... Well, if you can't say yes to any of those, you've at least never been diagnosed with a mental health issue, right?

Seriously. I smoke. I was turned down for smoking by someone who I less than two weeks later ran into again, and he had a lit cigarette between his fingers. That's where we're at in the "what matters" pipeline these days.

I understand the attraction to owning your own plane and buzzing merrily above the wheel-bound masses below on the daily, but I have to think it's a bad idea (avgas or electric). I think of all the times I've overslept, needed to be at the office unexpectedly, forgot to put some air in the car tires, should get that warning light looked at, etc... phrases that are usually at the start of an NTSB report.

The beauty of airlines and charters is that you're paying them, at least in part, to tell you "no, we're not flying right now." Turns out it can be hard to do for yourself when your job depends on it.

Mostly agree, but do want to clarify:

Obscurity is NOT security. But obscurity as one layer in a larger defense-in-depth setup IS helpful.

Do note that scanning IPv4 through a fishing page is still about a million times harder (literally) than targeting a known address.

And NAT is not security, but in some context is still helpful as one layer in a defense-in-depth setup - you can’t directly attack something that’s not routable.

Security is not binary; there are costs and there are benefits to various setups. My point was that the benefits provided by being able to provide an internal IPv6 address to an external entity are dwarfed by both Netsec and netadmin costs.

Also, if you can so easily scan my internal network with malicious web pages, you can probably passively listen for the v6 addresses. On the networks I managed, browsing happened through VNC to a browser on tightly controlled host that could only connect outside and only through a proxy. How do your fishing pages counter this?
Only one remark: "tell the guy ... that I'm ignorant"

You can have a wealth of first-hand experience but that doesn't mean it translates to opportunities or behaviors of groups. So yes, you can be ignorant.

Not only Germans but whole EU. The way EU works is by letting monopolies in a few west European countries expand their market to east and capture more value from everywhere.

Yes, East European companies can also do that but usually, there is first mover advantage and other policies at local level which influence the ability to form monopoly through investment and expansion.
It definitely doesn't, but it does change the tenor and content of those protests.

Intel, Cisco etc I know had similar severance packages. They rehire experienced ppl after things settle down. Lot of the 40/50+ crowd will have multiple entries on their resume of leaving and rejoining later. I worked with one greybeard who had left and rejoined the same division 4 times.

There are also hiring ads run just to convince potential customers that you are not dieing. I know a few people who saw a job ad seeming to target them, with no response to their resume despite having a very unique skill set. Only by talking to insiders did the truth come out : they have enough people with the unique skill set but they need to appear to be growing even when it obviously is a dieing area. (mainframes in this case, they still exist and sell well but everybody has known they are on the way out)

The whole point - the only purpose of a codename is that it doesn't give the game away.
And the difficulty is that RDV is only available IV, so depending on what "early" means, you would have to come in to the hospital at the first sign of symptoms.
They also include changes to endpoint metrics with P values. While it's not the full dataset, it's something.

"Preliminary results indicate that patients who received remdesivir had a 31% faster time to recovery than those who received placebo (p<0.001). Specifically, the median time to recovery was 11 days for patients treated with remdesivir compared with 15 days for those who received placebo. Results also suggested a survival benefit, with a mortality rate of 8.0% for the group receiving remdesivir versus 11.6% for the placebo group (p=0.059)."

You probably don't get that conferences exist for personal interaction, not just to present technical information. In fact I believe that business travel is what will support the travel industry, since most people will be afraid to take their families on travel without a clear necessity.
This. The only stuff that needs to be nationalized is some fraction of certain industries that are critical for the nation (eg infrastructure, shipping, defense, energy, etc...).
I’d wager those businesses are already classified as essential and kept operating. And if not, that can be a separate issue the government can tackle, but there’s no need for it to be conflated with the issue of keeping people fed and housed.
Is this based on actual experience or are you just imagining villains here?

I don't have that experience, but my suspicion is that the cartoon bosses in peoples' heads might not be an accurate picture of actual bosses? Laying people off doesn't seem to be easy for most managers, or at least those who talk about it.
Can confirm, they have £1k of my money, which they've held on to for over a month already, and are refusing to refund. It looks like it will be several months at best before they refund it. I plan to do a chargeback in the meantime.

I get that Ryanair are in financial difficulties, but they can't expect their customers to bail them out, and are behaving unlawfully - I'm damn sure I wouldn't get away with it, so neither should they.
Airline is the infrastructure tho, cheap air travel is available throughout EU. If you remove that, economy will take major hit. There is hardly any reading block with cooperation like EU. You fly from France to Italy and work with people there then you fly to Switzerland and demonstrate your product their and then you deal with marketing agency in UK to market your products at global level. It becomes inefficient without cheap air travel.
Airbus cannot (or is unwilling to) ramp up production much either. In fact, I would expect job losses here too.

Sort of OT but "integrity" is one of my favorite words. Imagine everyone you interact with has a small, slightly different picture of who you are. If those pieces could all be combined, they should form a consistent, accurate and (mostly) complete picture of the real you.

And even then, the only person who fully knows the real you... is yourself.
Well, they do have all the money. Besides, the 19.9% shouldn't complain to the 80%. Rather, they should complain to the 0.1% whose lobbyists write the tax code in the first place. We can be sure they had their reasons to set up this level of progressive taxation rather than some other level.
The business support is also not what one might hope for. The couple Euros we pay per month per user is not enough to get a few minutes of a developer's time so it's very similar to not having any support.

The same argument can be made for building separate services too. Could become very difficult to merge data between two services after you had redundant information being saved across the two because of a bad design up-front.
Yes! The idea is any computer under your control can act as a server, and you can have multiple workers pointing to the same endpoint.
I understand caution and skepticism...but how on earth is that the “relevant sentence” out of the whole article?

I would vote for the first one:

“Hospitalized patients with advanced COVID-19 and lung involvement who received remdesivir recovered faster than similar patients who received placebo, according to a preliminary data analysis from a randomized, controlled trial involving 1063 patients.”

So we know it was randomized with a control group and sample size of over 1000 patients. That’s a first step towards reaching statistical significance.
We're extremely aware of what has made Insomnia successful over the last five years and we want to keep applying the same principles going forward.

I'm not disagreeing that there are networking opportunities ... I work for a university and have been going to a conference or two a year since I started here simply to meet up with people. I think we'll find a way to recoup some of that value remotely and I think that the business will accept that there is some loss in networking rather than pay for the trips.

Throughout most of the '90s and '00s, I traveled between a week and two weeks a month for work. There was a huge decline in the "luxury" of flying around the world after 9/11 that's continued to get worse and worse since. Flying anywhere these days is simply a chore.
it does change the tenor and content of those protests.

If people who shouldn't have political power gain it by listening to the neglected, the proper course of action isn't to denigrate the people. Take back that power by listening.

Agree with your post (and upvoted) but wanted to point out that these labor practices common to capitalism and so you're likely to find it just as bad outside of tech. In some industries, worse than others, for sure. But this is the Faustian bargain that we signed up.

Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 1998 OR2 close encounter: online observations
Suppose perfect lockdowns, so no new infections after lockdown, not even family members.

Suppose incubation is 1w, then 1w of worsening syntoms, and then death at 3w, consistent with Italy and other countries (sp. in places with enough beds, deaths seemed to have occurred later).

Then, isn't the whole premise wrong? You want to study lockdowns but only look at deaths from infections BEFORE the lockdown?

Am I missing something?
It sounds like it's geared towards incentivizing those that are close to retirement (and therefore probably higher paid) to retire sooner.
I should not have posted because I did not read the article. However I did not read it not from laziness but because it was blocked. No text = no read.
Agreed on both points.

My main point was that none of this is legally mandated at the federal level (though there may be state laws or union contracts at play depending on who is being let go).

I've also seen severance plans that are variations on...

Think for a second the absolute nightmare the economy would be going through if we _hadn't_ locked down.
To a degree, yes.

The stock market reflects investor sentiment about the viability of of the entities traded. If there's a notion that a company will be worth more in the future and will either pay out a nice dividend or can be later sold at a profit, shares of that company will be in demand and the price will go up. If the company is expected to be losing money and not be worth much or paying out a nice dividend in the future, prices will be going down as everyone tries to sell shares and not be the last one holding something worthless.

If a company sheds a bunch of jobs, that can signal a number of things. One of the things it signals is that it has reduced its expenses. Reduced expenses means, all else equal, less chances of it running out of cash or hitting other kind of money problems, and thereby improves its chances of weathering the coming economic storm. If you thought that Boeing shedding a bunch of jobs meant that it had just secured it's ability to continue to exist and be more valuable once the coming recession/depression is over, would you not want to buy shares now to sell at a nice profit later?
The 30 year TIPS are yielding at -0.22%. In other words people holding ultra safe investment are expected to lose money in real terms year after year for 30 years. BTW the 30 year TIPS gained around 30% in value over the last year.
The feds printed trillions of dollars. Much of it ended up on the stock market, especially since there is a dearth of other viable investments and the interest rate is low. Also the developing world is suffering even worse downturns and investors there are moving their money to relatively safer economies. Also some gun-jumping with Gilead's study. And a big short-squeeze since the recession is postponed.

I still think a recession is coming. It's just a matter of time now that the lockdowns are getting lifted without any real control over covid. There'll be a rise in new cases, slightly more stringent measures will come and go, other countries with proper recoveries will keep the US travel bans in place, etc. The market can't defy gravity forever.

It can, of course, defy gravity for long enough to lose you your shirt.
> Pay the drivers an extra $x/mile to clamp the Apple Maps image gathering device to the roofs of their cars.

Scenario 1 (buy Lyft): So if Lyft has around 1 million drivers in USA [1], and Apple will pay them an average of $50/month to use the device + the cost of the device/installation (around $100) that would cost around $150,000,000 on top of the acquisition price. And you cant really be sure that they covered all roads.

Scenario 2 (hire drivers): US total road length is about 4 million miles, average driver can cover about 160 miles a day (8 hours * 20Mph). If you want to drive through all of the US in 30 days you would need around 800 drivers. If you pay them $5000/month to do that, that would cost you "just" $4 million.

By running a charity and notably donating to it those people can get clout though and further raise themselves in the eyes of their peers while not paying very much for it.

Hi Hackernews,

We're excited to announce that the Lynk Beta is now live!

We've been hard at work building out Lynk's tunnelling protocols to make them faster, more stable, and all around better. We're happy to announce that vs. Ngrok our tunnels perform up to 6 times faster (source: https://medium.com/@shivanshvij/building-a-better-ngrok-dbc1...) and support technologies such as HTTP/2 (with HTTP1 fallback) and Websockets.

Why bother paying them? If they own the company, just make it a condition of the contractor agreement.
Unless you're using some non-standard definition of evaluation, this is not true when using a lazy strategy.

"Always take the package" is a mantra you'll hear from some folks who have been through earlier market carnage. The idea is that you're liable to be laid off in the next round of cuts, or the next; and subsequent packages are never as good as the first one, if they exist at all. But if you're sure things will turn around in the economy in general, and for the company you work for in particular, then don't take the package.
