Whether or not JS-SSR with hydration is performant is an interesting topic, but sort of misses the forest for the trees, no? The thread you link to is about a post which speaks about whether that extra level of complexity is even necessary for many use cases (it isn't).

HTML + JQuery, which the hydration approach is compared with, is not used for performance reasons per se. It's used because its easier to reason about and the incremental interactivity that something like JQuery brings to HTML is better than writing your entire frontend in React for something as simple as a blog, for example.

Depending what you mean by "become young again," that's not true. See https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2020/03/old-human-cel... The problem here is scaling this up beyond tissue cultures.

We just launched (Oracle Cloud) an AMD Epyc 2 Compute service (called E3 on our compute page) that is the beginning of 'shapeless' or flexible computing - you can spec the cores for your shape from 1-64 and drive the balance on storage and memory. That might be a fit for you, as it's really inexpensive or the power.
I'd likely buy a small CAN chip and just connect over SPI. CAN as a protocol is a complicated mess, so having HW support is important.

The Invitation (2015 film)
The standard Arduino "language" is really C/C++, is it not? (as well as all the C/C++ libraries that extend it) I suppose the "Arduino language" itself could be described as a library as well, or at least a C/C++ helper/wrapper abstraction for common tasks.

Years ago I tried implementing a wiki at work as a knowledge base. While the user base remained reserved to select members of the team, everything was great. But the success of the wiki then became an invitation to the rest of the company. And soon knuckleheads were simply uploading Word documents to the wiki. So, instead of getting transparent, searchable content, we reverted to /index.html, circa 1992.
> The detected cases are increasing due to an increase in testing.

People keep saying this, but at least for Illinois the numbers don't fit. The growth rate has been almost completely steady since the results of the shelter-in-place were seen.

> Nate Silver has a great post the other day where he broke down the fact that the ratio of new cases per test administered has gone down.

I think this is what's happening instead of finding new cases. We're just identifying more uninfected people.
Yea, not to say it's not the case. We're both trading anecdotes here. I'm sure there's probably statistics for it though.

My assumption would be that the amount to which someone travels is fairly correlated to their income, adjusted for local cost of living? I'm not sure where that would be higher though.

Gates at least, admits it was in large part luck. There are brilliant hard working people of equal caliber who die in ignominy every single day.

"‘I don’t deserve my fortune,’ Mr Gates added. ‘Nobody does. It has come through timing, luck, and through people I worked with.".

Is he brilliant, assuredly, and incredibly hardworking as well. Does that change the fact that millions of brilliant incredibly hardworking people die in poverty and obscurity every day?

Luck is the differentiator for the most part. Being born in the right place, to the right family, growing up with the right people, during the right time. It takes a person of consummate focus and skill to take advantage of their circumstances, but let's not pretend captains of industry in Silicon Valley would have been equally successful born the son of a welder in Calcutta.

This approach works well for knowledge pockets where the discovery of application of knowledge is naive. When you want to extract a tar file and don't remember the command your brain know you have saved the command somewhere in a log and you can find it. But think of knowledge areas where you have to connect a few different learnings together to form an intuition on the application of knowledge to a problem.

It's called the Wall Street Journal, correct?

Didn't Wall Street just get... y'know, a few trillion un-traced doll-hairs? Perhaps... they could fund the journalism.

In all seriousness: In a civil society, what the U.S. claims to be (IIRC, somebody correct me if I'm mistaken) - Journalism should be funded by institutions. Perhaps - funded by the government, at a loss - for the sake of informing the populace. I think, in a functional civil society, that's atleast somewhat close to how things should work. I believe it may not go hand in hand with human nature though...

Thanks to all who helped for my first question though.
Unless I'm missing something it's not a very fair comparison, you have low-res unshaded textures on one side and high-res bump-mapped textures on the other. That alone accounts for 99% of the difference between both versions.

Meanwhile current "AAA" games that have RTX support don't look radically different with RTX on or off. Better and more accurate reflections of course but also a big hit on performance that's, IMO, not worth it.

Of course that may just be because the devs don't bother to use the tech to its full potential when only a tiny fraction of the playerbase will be able to use that mode anyway.

I empathetically agree that Citizen's United, along with all the other winner-takes-all rulesets, should be reversed. Over concentration of power, in any domain, should be counterbalanced.

The article misses the point entirely. It wasn't about launching early, or not having enough games, or wait times.

It comes down to pricing.

In gaming, the same thing has always played out. The console that can deliver the best value wins.

$399 vs $299 is a huge difference. That's the equivalent of $500 vs $750 today.

And don't forget that this was a huge step up already from the $150-199 price point of Super Nintendo.

At the end of the day, when it comes to mass appeal, it isn't the better technology that wins, but the one that combines the best price and performance, and people always underestimate that price is the bigger factor than performance.
That number was the upper bound of at least one epidemiological model. According to https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic..., the possibility was included in White House briefings. Should the media not report that fact?

I'm also fairly certain all such report noted the large uncertainty of such models, especially at the beginning when almost no data was available.

And I should point out that extrapolating current death rates in New York City (2%) to the entire US comes out to 600,000 deaths. If we further include that total excess deaths in NY are about twice the number of confirmed COVID deaths, and we're above 1,000,000 deaths.

I don't believe we will see such numbers: NY's density and International connections are probably contributing factors that just don't apply to Idaho. But as a worst-case scenario, those 2 million are not quite as ridiculous as you seem to think.
Our phones are just small computers, and the notion that the FBI can get things out of them given permanent custody is national news. It's weird that people think this isn't really one of the battle lines in computer security.
You don't need jquery in most situations unless you are supporting old browsers. Modern js is good enough. At best, you will end up writing a few lines to abstract what jQuery abstracts away from you.
In addition to Mf18M and Drumming, which have been suggested by others, I'd also add Six Marimbas/Pianos, Four Organs, and in particular Music for Mallet Instruments, Voices, and Organ, as Steve Reich pieces that I happen to enjoy more than the ones you enjoy :-)

Mf18M and MfMIVO always put me in a very contemplative mood.

That's what my agent claimed when setting our asking price. We sure didn't see a bidding war. The benefits to the agent for a lower price is in conflict with what the homeowner wants. For example, a $10K diff in sale price is $350 for the listing agent, and $9650 for the homeowner. So of course agents will push for low prices to get a quick sale.

Of course, there are many times that a seller wants a quick sale (moving etc). But often it's in the seller's best interest to be a bit more patient and price it at market.

Posting this verbatim from my reddit comment, but I ran a few quick fits and the (arbitrarily scaled) Planck distribution looks better than standard fits of some other distributions. Of course I ran absolutely no statistics on these or tried any sort of real analysis that should have been included in the paper in the first place, so take it with multiple grains of salt:

I fit a few distributions to the data and actually the Planck distribution at 9000K seems to be noticeably better. I did no further statistics and haven't even looked at the fitted parameters for this. Note: I am an earth scientist, not a physicist.

Many people don't know what the foundation means. I found out more recently when defending him against rumor mongers on a forum.

For one, I didn't know he's one of the largest backers of WHO (they said he's the second largest). Yet, the spun this good deed as negative. Claiming, he's manipulating WHO from under the shadows.

It's interesting -- in the paper it says that the samples they used to assess the sensitivity (it was a different population for specificity) were from people who had (mostly) been elderly and hospitalized, and that they do not know how it would perform in subclinical or asymptomatic cases. I admit being super not-objective about my reading, since I had this test done last week and came back negative despite losing my sense of smell completely in late March - early April (I live in Boston and was exposed to people who tested positive). It will be interesting to see more data on the Abbott and Roche tests on the subclinical / asymptomatic population.
It is supported in hardware for multiple protocols: CAN1.0, CAN2.0, and CANFD. I'm pretty sure there are 3 ports that can be used simultaneously and independently. I only use 2 with CAN1.0.

WHO warns that coronavirus cases have jumped in countries that eased lockdowns
Yaxim 0.9.9 – FOSDEM Edition
This can be solved so easily. What does countries do when they want to promote their product? They add tariffs to imports? Do the tariffs work? Totally different question but it has a change at the margins.

So you want the best but not necessarily local? At the same time serving the needs of the locals? Introduce a tariff? Not the couple of thousand dollars worth of processing fee, but a 20% tax on the salary earned : every single dollar, salary, bonus, stock : everything. This gives you a free market. No one stops you from hiring an H1, but if gives local talent 20-25% leg up over an H1 talent. [ Numbers are of course negotiable but I do not see any number below 20-30% being effective. ]
An early alternative would've been to use an integrated language for both HTML and JS features, like Curl, published in 1997:

https://groups.csail.mit.edu/cag/curl/wwwpaper.html

(Disclosure: I worked at the Curl commercial spinoff.)

Or, many Lisp people just used s-expression data for HTML, and Lisp for everything else. Here's a typical way I did, in 2000, in Scheme:

I actually pitched some Web ideas to Tim Berners-Lee around 2000, including Scheme for Web programming. But shortly after that, he promoted using Python for some Web stuff, because, IIRC, Python was inclusive, making Web programming accessible to more people. Which was understandable, and one of the ways many techies thought about the Internet, before there were career tracks, when the Internet was something we knew about and wanted to bring to the world. (In hindsight, I wish I'd then tried to write a very inclusive practical intro book/tutorial for Scheme at that early point, but I was preoccupied with other things.)

I agree that this is way more complicated.

Nobody knew what 3D hardware would look like in 1994, they were too busy inventing it. For example, the Saturn provides quads as your primitive, which seems weird to anybody looking at the Saturn today. The PlayStation and Nintendo 64 both used triangles.

You might have various reasons to prefer the Nintendo 64 or PlayStation, but from a developer's perspective, the main reason you would prefer the Saturn is probably because of its 2D performance. But a higher price point for better 2D performance is a tough sell.

It's also interesting to look at the different companies through the lens of what their strengths are. Sony has generally had pretty solid hardware design, Microsoft has generally made systems that are easier to develop software for, etc.
