Hopefully with the roll out of reliable antibody tests we can get the answers to these "mysterious flus" that lot of people anecdotally have. For me at least it would mentally comforting to know if the "flu" that I contracted after traveling to NOLA for Mardi Gras was in fact SARS-CoV-2.
You're current on "Hold".

"EasySpin" is also known as "Infinity" depending on who you talk to. Basically, as long as you continue to move and/or turn a piece when it hits the bottom, it won't actually lock in place. This is very easy to abuse.

Neither of these so-called features is in the Gameboy version, so you wouldn't know about them. :) However, they're in basically ever modern Tetris game.
Thanks! I think you found the jemallocator bug, so I'll try your project and follow up there.

There are myriad apps built on the HN API that provide this. Materialistic for Android and Octal for iOS are two good ones.
The commodification/fungibilty of programmers is the goal. See, also open office plans.

I think the bad started for me (long ago) when the Microsoft style management and so-called MS best practices began to conquer the PNW.

In the late 90's a company I was in started driving to an exit. First they hired an ex-MS Group Program Mgr, whatever that means. Next, came tons of PMs pulling one or two devs into their projects/features. Doing it the MS way I guess (at least the MS way back then).

I was a manager, I refused to dole out my team members to PMs -- everything my team did was run through me. I don't even think I let them enter individual devs into their project plans. Just the team.

This worked well for us (my team) because I knew their capabilities, interests, family commitments, likes/dislikes, etc. I could adjust resources as needed to meet the team commitments. We had successes and failures as a team.

PMs who tried put pressure on my devs behind my back would really catch it from me.

My management style wasn't any new idea, it was what we did in the Army. Assign a team a task, then the team leader ensures the task is completed by the team.

It was a good time, we were the only real team in the place as the other managers embraced the MS way of doing things.

At end (right before dotcom bust) the company started doing some Agile-lite with two-week release cycles absent stories, standups, etc. I did like that enough to put it place at the next company I worked at.

I did get burned out though, mostly because I didn't want deal with what the industry had become as the last startup I was at petered out.

I still love programming but not enough to do it in modern shop.

Actually, it most cases I find it significantly beats what a normal in-browser adblocker will do. More importantly, it does this for my phone, etc.

But yes self-hosted ads, etc. won't be blocked. For that, there are other solutions.

Personally, I use both.
I think I addressed that comment, actually!

Those are the operations, yeah! They went a long way for me. I think there's also a command or a third-party addon to see the undo states, in the undo-tree spirit—but surprisingly I've never needed it.
Looking at the comments, it certainly seems like he’s got all bases covered though.

It's the easier one to design -- but actually building it requires a production line that cranks out one of the most complicated rocket engines ever designed for cheap (it'll need over thirty engines in final configuration, though the first launch may be with "just" 20 or so).
New York seems to have a reasonable plan. Hospitalization rate is under control, careful planning is going into how to reopen the state in a tiered way, etc.
There are a number of claims that this happens in the academic market as well.

My kids in Idaho (that had visited Southern Utah not too far from Vegas) and all the symptoms of COVID-19 back in November. I guess quite a few people did. They were tested for flu and it came back negative, but breathing was hard. Guess we’ll never know.
Would you get fired, or would people just assume you were being sarcastic?
I see it less as forced collaboration and more as a vehicle for high frequency interruption, which is a core tool of what I call panic or chaos management.

At most places I've been, team management and inter-team cooperation are both so poor that it's pure chaos. Every day there's panic - necessary or otherwise - and the fastest way to put out the current fire is to to storm across the floor and presume to interrupt everyone who might help.

Open plan offices work to make this the norm rather than the exception. They're a cover for no improvement to organization or management.
Certainly a possibility, but I would think that it would very unlikely to contaminate the source sample (usually they're frozen in -80 fridge), and if you have a contaminated work station, then the rest of the samples would likely be return false-positive as well.
Next, they'll require IDs and use IVRC to delete comments based on "too similar names."
And we would think the same about Lockheed, Raytheon or IBM. Just because there'll always be someone without morals doesn't mean we just shrug and say anything goes.
I switched a section of my network over to it a few weeks ago, and I've been having constant random internet issues since, and when I swap back to the Pi-Hole the problems go away.

Is there some trickery to getting AdGuard to run stable? I have it running as an Add-On to Home Assitant, so I'm not sure if that's causing the issues, but I get lots of failed DNS queries, slowdowns, etc when going through AdGuard.
I never said it's found only in those workers, my experience happens to be with workers who come from the more disadvantaged strata of society. You find many, wonderful people with a strong work ethic among them, but the rough living part is much more rough and visible - like doing heroin at work or pulling out a gun. This happens in all echelons of society, but it's just much less subtle in certain groups of people. On the upside, the people with good work ethic were promoted, got raises, and better benefits.
Thanks for your comment. I read the piece, and it was worth the time.

After so many words about their shared story, seeing that photo of Wood and Salahi together was quite arresting.
I think you're not following what I'm saying but I'll dive into the two aspects here:

(1) You can convert cryptocurrencies but that doesn't change the fact your key remains a single point of failure, or your exchange's key remains a single point of failure. This is as designed. There is no remedy. It is intentional. It does not apply to an FDIC insured bank account.

(2) During the MtGox crisis and the QuadrigaCX [1] crisis (among many, many, many others), 100% of deposits disappeared overnight with zero recourse (aka SFYL). While neither this nor the Cypriot banking crisis are ideal, I know which one I'd prefer to have gone through. Not to mention at the end QuadrigaCX sent $400,000 on crypto to their dead founder's wallet which is just thrown in with the rest of the pool of lost coins.

Note that 10^-6 for DNA testing would be strong evidence if the suspect was found via a traditional investigation.

It really depends on your marketing. If you simply display your app on G-Suite Marketplace, then people will discover your app by searching for specific terms. In the absence of some specific event to cause an increase in searches for the relevant terms you simply see a steady state. If you were to do a well targeted marketing blitz then you might see a short-term spike in downloads.
Actually the claim is worth a big payday if you can prove Apple lied. One leak of customer data and Apple is screwed.
It's very simple: there is a hierarchy in a hive. And yes, on occasion I surprise myself, to say nothing of my demanding gonad, and veto hormonal urges.

The topic at hand, my original remark above, is that self-organization does not speak to the necessity of leaders, and hierarchical organizational order.
I don’t understand what you mean when you write person years of those children haven’t started yet? They were born, so how have their person years not started?

And in context of opportunity cost, in a situation where limited medical resources need to be allocated, it’s not a controversial opinion that a 90 year old can be let go in favor of saving a 10 year old.
Nice write-up but I'm really commenting in appreciation of the perfect iambic pentameter in the HN title.
Local papers are disappearing left and right, in the US.

Most of what they do is not Big Stories, but things like covering the city council meetings in a way that TV stations don't.

Anything can brake. It is all about probabilities, potential failures etc.

Spring failure is less probable than breaking a male part of a connector.

If a spring breaks, you have a second one.

If both break, you keep the charging functionality.

You break the male connector. Game Over.
A rationalization at best. Facilitating an immoral act is active participation.
Not so sure about that. Unit tests and pull reviews are stopgaps so that you don't have to hire 1000x engineers just to get some work done. The true masters of this craft may not need those things

Believe it or not "all the edge cases" can still be perceived by the right mind. It's just that we as an industry have done seemingly everything we can to push those folks out, just look at OP as an example

I've supported ten-digits-per-year (non-SAAS) businesses without unit tests or code reviews and oftentimes deploying straight to production. As the sole SWE for my codebase. Supporting hundreds of remote installations with nothing more than SSH tunnels relayed through an ancient, colocated linux box. And the software was very good, didn't ship with many bugs (and when it did they got fixed real quick), and there were never any catastrophic, non-recoverable issues, nor ever any questions on the integrity of the system or my reporting. We were never seriously hacked (to our knowledge). Crazy times... not sure I would do it again, but.... it can be done.

My first dev job we did most of our work in vim sessions on the development server, and more than once I was asked to hotfix live code running in production. Through the grace of God and an abundance of caution nothing ever seriously blew up as a result of all this madness. (Though, ask my boss about the time he tried to move our MySQL instance onto some very early SSDs) Again, it can be done. I'm sure most of the old hats lying around have tons of stories like this.

Claims aren't worthless, they'd be breaking the law if they lied. Apple has a pretty decent incentive to not break the law (PR mostly, but also fines), so I would bet they're telling the truth here.
Another step towards Amazon acquiring them.
FCC comments are like petitions: useless, virtual-signaling, pseudo-actions that are easily ignored. Calling reps and challenging their re-election prospects are the most fundamental ways to influence the FCC because the corporations have the most say when the people don't make enough noise.
I don't believe it is unethical to work on weapons technology any more than I believe it is unethical to be member of the armed forces. We live in a world with bad actors, so some amount of work on defense is necessary for survival.

However, I also believe you are responsible for the consequences of the technology you create. If you decide to work on smart bombs and because of a bad government those end up killing innocent civilians, some of that blood is on your hands. If you're willing to accept the risk of that, I respect your choice.

Personally, I would rather avoid that by not working on that category of technology at all. It's not the kind of mark I want to leave on the world. I do appreciate that I only have the luxury of this choice because I live in a country where others do choose to work on defense so that I can be protected.
Yeah, but for IRB reasons, you may not be able to contact the patient. IMHO I would prefer this (potentially) imperfect short communication being out in the scientific world now than a more perfect communication requiring several more months.

I will check this one out (the Hoover one), but I'm skeptical.

I could see, in theory, reading or listening to some conservative stuff, but it just never seems to be honest. Or...lacks basic human decency. Is outright racist. etc.

I do remember, at least think I do, 20 years ago -- you could find at least some people being serious on the right. Eh, I was probably just being naive.

Hoover - last time I saw something from them - it was basically VDH arguing for total war or something.

And...what is with billionaires buying universities' prestige? It's kind of like you can have excellent global heating reporting in the WSJ, and then their OpEd page will say, 'There is no evidence of heating.' Same thing with Hoover and Stanford. Or the Kochs buying...everything. I guess Unis are on even shakier ground now. :-/

...checked them all out. Not for me. Except one Rationally Speaking episode about whether global poverty/rate is good/bad.
If only this was real life.
In case anyone is thinking similarly, remember that vulnerable people (old people)'s social networks are mostly other vulnerable people. Even if herd immunity was "achieved" in the younger cohort, the old would be at basically the same level of risk because if one old person gets infected, it'll spread through the unprotected social network quite easily. You need it to be well mixed to be effective.

That all being said, if theories of initial viral loads making a difference are true, it's not that crazy to imagine individuals choosing to self infect with a very small initial viral load so they can just stop needing to tip toe around life with the concern that they infect others, while continuing to isolate on their own. If I lived alone I'd be tempted.
Any "well-tuned" multi-threaded application requires unified memory for simultaneous access to managed memory from the CPU and GPUs as it is not possible with compute capability lower than 6.0. This is because pre-Pascal GPUs lack hardware page faulting, so coherence can’t be guaranteed. On these GPUs, an access from the CPU while a kernel is running will cause a segmentation fault.
Most of the biased reporting doesn’t happen through false claims but through selective reporting. The information that fits the narrative is pushed, the information that doesn’t never gets published. It is possible to lie by remaining factually correct. Ask any lawyer or advertiser. And I see very few if not no major media outlet that doesn’t indulge into that selective reporting all over its pages. Ignore me and move past me!
In my case, using LeanPub, the way it works is as follows:

1. I choose a point in time to start 'publishing' (in my case with A4D it was after 3 chapters were written, first draft).
2. Users can start buying at this point, at a minimum price I determine (starting at 'free', or 4.99 and up).
3. Any user who buys the book gets DRM-free downloads in any format from LeanPub, and the book is on their permanent shelf on LeanPub, so they can download any newer version forever, free.

As an author, when I push a new update, I have the ability to also send a notification email to all subscribed readers so they know a new version is available—otherwise I can just silently update it (e.g. for smaller bugfixes in the text or slight corrections).
It's noted on the Pulitzer page for the award (https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/nikole-hannah-jones-new-yor...) that the NY Times issued a correction to the original essay: "A passage has been adjusted to make clear that a desire to protect slavery was among the motivations of some of the colonists who fought the Revolutionary War, not among the motivations of all of them." See https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/magazine/an-update-to-the... ("Today we are making a clarification to a passage in an essay from The 1619 Project that has sparked a great deal of online debate.")
Doesn’t matter - a good portion of the US will never accept contract tracing, a prolonged shut down, mandatory antibody testing, or forced vaccination. It is illegal for states to prevent persons from neighboring, more constrictive states from traveling in and out. Given the Supreme Court make up it is unlikely any of the above would be upheld as constitutional. Therefore the US is heading toward a herd immunity strategy regardless of what technocrats think the end game will be.

I laugh when I hear people talking about a vaccine. We can’t get people to vaccinate for diseases like measles that spread faster, are deadlier, and kill kids.
Don't have any materials to point to, sadly. Most of the knowledge in this field is locked up in papers and tools; I was lucky to learn most of what I know from a graduate class taught by a professor working on static analysis in V8 and working with/on software security tooling. To begin with, I'd suggest first brushing up on compiler optimizations (which is largely separate from parsing) and that should lead you to dataflow analysis techniques.
This is not just a straw man it's a straw giant.
Oh! That’s good news. I’m excited to give it a try either way.

Is it not clear that I was speculating from language like "my guess is", and is it not clear that I'm not trying to cast aspersions on Tim's specific motives from language like "I don't mean to rag specifically on Tim"?

They are misinformed, the ISPs spent a lot of effort trying to confuse people. They confuse people implying that government tries to start controlling Internet now and it didn't do that before, when the reverse is true.

Is like trying to convince people that first amendment should be abolished, because it is enforced by the government and they should not control what we can say or not. It is flipping the whole thing upside down, and many confused people are supporting it, when they really want the opposite.
To address the writer I say to you that splendid and amazing technical achievments do not really lead to long term satisfaction unless they coinside well with a well defined long term buisness objective. I am an entrepenur also but I'm a small time life style technologist. I have a small means and I'm happy with it. It gives me freedom most of all. Think of all those big shot names that people were celebrating great valuations.If I only made one penny in my life its more than they have netted this whole time and probably ever will. Softbank is the poster child for stupid businesses. An app that will help you walk your dog. They billed a quarter billion for it. So if you lost people a billion say they are lucky because so and so would have lost you two!

The point is you are young and learning what failure tastes like. Its ok to be happy. Its ok to do all your internet browsing on a commodore 64. There are people crazy enough to do that.

Technology, science, and learning is good for its own sake only if it doesn't dominate your life. Don't make that stuff the ends in life. Remember technology are tools they are means. Archamedes made his best discovery just taking a bath.

Using ArchUnit to Enforce Software Architecture Best Practices
> It's an odd arrangement in this country where "shareholder value" can literally justify most things in the eyes of those with money.

I think a lot of the problem is not necessarily what the VC's do when it comes to situations, but that they lie, to themselves, to others, or both, about what they will do and at a fundamental level who they are. There's a world of difference between telling someone you're their friend and will protect them and nothing will go wrong when you know there's a good chance it will, and telling (or being) a friend but being up front that your job means you will act a certain way in specific situations, and that may be against the interests of others.

This happens in business, and it happens in personal life. I respect people that are consistent and represent themselves accurately, even if I don't like them or agree with them. People that misrepresent themselves are relying on an information asymmetry that they're creating to give themselves an advantage. This clearly works in many instances, but it also a "burnt-bridges" strategy that only works because of the relative anonymity that modern society provides. In some ways, this could be solved by more information about these people and how they function (which is how the free market works, best with more and more accurate info), but that's hard to accomplish because of their relative power.
Are there any Chinese articles you could link us?
Is this for total beginners or does it also cover advanced features like window functions as well? If not, is there a similar tool for learning advanced SQL features?
Terms which you might find useful to search for are "dataflow analysis", "abstract interpretation", and "taint checking". A basic background in compiler optimization would generally be helpful.
Hi Jeff, interesting statistics. Your Ansible book has been a great resource to me. Thanks for writing it.
Absolutely. And Caddy adds its on-line config API and simpler configuration experience for an all-around more secure, easier-to-maintain, harder-to-get-wrong system.
