The issue here is politicians need to communicate a clear message on what is acceptable and what is not and instead even at local, city, and state, levels we see in many states politicians trying to one up or put down each other.

The simple fact is we cannot continue in the shut down state we have and the rules of the shut down need to be heavily revised so as not to appear as arbitrary and unneeded. It gets worse because there does not seem to be any acceptable date and that is unreasonable in an extreme. The line in the sand will have to be drawn and efforts put towards protecting the most at risk.

We also have to recognize just how much person to person interaction that many businesses truly are. From actual touching to handing items back and forth if not handling items in shared environments. Social distancing really cannot work in some businesses and this needs to be accounted for because they cannot be kept shut down without accepting some risk; namely hair care, massage, hair care, but not to be ignored the biggest one, medical care. If it safe for a dentist or optometrist to work on you then a hair dresser can follow similar but appropriate restrictions.

Besides telling people how to protect themselves they need to tell people how to be polite in this new world we face and how to protect yourself from people who don't take the same caution you do without aggravating the situation.
In my city (Denver) where a lot of the Airbnb usage is event based (sports, conventions, concerts) I've noticed a rash of fully furnished rentals come on the market at just under market rates. These are clearly all former AirBnbs.

People are definitely having cashflow issues and I'm guessing many got their units through a ton of leverage and are now in a very bad spot.
There was a recent article on having your website be entirely statically regenerated except for a select few components that require interactivity: shopping carts, comments, etc.

That way, your entire site is basically live just on a CDN, infinitely scalable. Even if your API server goes down, only the small subset actively engaging with interactive content would know! With client side persisting technology like service workers, you can pair down which interactive content matters for that.

Really seems like the direction I'd want for my next project. And, again, Svelte and Sapper support exporting static sites... Really I'm continually impressed by their position I'm supporting great patterns out of the box.

>If someone doesn't want to learn to write well, it's not worthwhile to make them try.

And they have to be committed to putting the effort/time into it. Courses are fine--especially for communicating your organization's style and guidelines. But, for the most part, good writers write a lot. (Working with a good editor can help too.)

If someone sees writing as a real chore they're probably not going to get very good at it any more than someone who loathes the sight of a given musical instrument is likely going to become an expert musician.
First day is about gathering info, so I would find out:

1) whom do I report to?
- corollary who do I NOT report to? yeah some people try to inject their needs when they have no authority to.

2) what are the required weekly items:
- meetings, emails, schedules, reports

3) security expectations - badges etc

4) who to contact if you are too ill to come in

5) report times - when are you expected in? How flexible? when is lunch? How long is lunch? Where is lunch? Do they serve beer? ...

6) how to contact IT help desk

7) where is the emergency exit - yeah I am serious about that

8) how do you record your daily time

9) how do you do your job? Is it routine, or unique projects?

10) expect to be assigned a mentor, make sure you have their contact info - if possible both their work and personnel.

11) when are you paid? How are you paid? Some jobs require you to have direct deposit.

12) (day 3 or so) what extra benefits are there - large companies often have deals with entertainment groups e.g. Disney discount tickets available at such and such.

13) look for organized clubs at work - this can be a great source of building a social network to convert that internship into a job - as long as the others are employees and not just interns.

Like others mentioned, you need a notebook - write quickly as you will get a LOT of information the first day. That night convert it to a soft document - review for unclear answers or items to ask about the next day.

Show up early the first day - coat and tie - expect them to laugh and say 'oh we are not so formal around here, just where business casual'. Still wear a coat and tie, first impressions are important and you cannot re do the first impression. And yeah I would think less of you if you did not show up on the first day in coat and tie, even when the standard is tshirt and jeans.

Bring a book with you, one that makes you look smart for reading it. Preferably be to chapter 4 or more, anything else looks like a prop. If you get there too early, which is MUCH better than 5 seconds late, then you can read your book. Popping open the book when you have down time, which is VERY common the first week, makes you look industrious, and reaffirms that hiring you was a smart thing to do.

Thanks! I can confirm the brightness of LEDs: I went for the Massdrop ALT (the 60% brother of the CTRL). Although I didn't buy it for the lightshow, it's been a great conversation starter at work.

Back to programming the keyboard: all I've really ended up doing is mapping PrintScreen to Fn+P (remember, fewer keys on my board, so no physical PrintScreen). I've also been playing with what qmk calls a "tap dance" [1]. I use it to have my Control key be left control when just pressed once, but when I double-tap it, it becomes Right Control (which the board also lacks a physical key for, and it's useful in VirtualBox).

I've also been toying with the idea to program the LEDs to display a ripple effect, where everytime you press a key, a ripple of light spreads out. Maybe something like that already exists, but I'd like to try programming it myself, if time permits.

It's sad that you think we're "out to get you", we're just making games.

Consider the widely acknowledged fact tat the working hours are brutal, the pay is quite low for C/C++ programmers, the average experience in the industry before burnout is 5 years.

Nobody would do this if the passion wasn't there. This industry basically couldn't exist without the passion for making games.

And, every time we fail we're yelled at for being incompetent. Every trade off we make is derided by people who never actually tried to make something like this.

Every time we try to increase the amount we're paid, or set a decent working schedule (longer development times mean more salaries because working on a project longer) we're told that we're "sleazy business men" trying to make a profit.

Like I said in another comment, the only way for you to get "better" games is to set your expectations for games lower than AAA (IE: stop buying AAA's), make us slaves or pay more.

And people (in aggregate) do not want to pay more.

Most writing is written for the purpose of being filed, not read. It's as simple as that - it takes exponentially more work to write something that you intend and want people to read. Most engineers just cannot be bothered with such a menial "soft" skill - the information should be interesting enough, right?

Well, no. I kind of thought my creative writing classes were a stupid joke at the time, but 15 years after graduating college, it is very clear that storytelling is one of the most effective persuasion techniques I've learned or seen. It's an incredibly effective way of transmitting information - if you can frame your outage post-mortem like a story with a central conflict, rising action, a climax and a resolution, you'll find that it just seems to be repeated and transmitted by itself. Very few people, even engineers want to read a boring timeline that dryly lists what happened in sequential order. Lots of people want to read an adventure starring an engineer who bumbled into a huge conflict and had to fix it before the business imploded.

If you find yourself writing things that no one is reading, try making it more read more like a story. we've all known someone who could take some mundane thing like going on a date and make it interesting with a few storytelling techniques. We might even have a few stories ourselves that we've been crafting over the years. Think about the techniques you use to tell interesting stories - misdirection, suspense, shared context and start applying them to your documents.

Edit: To clarify: Please don't take the advice that structuring your documents to be more like a story means write one of those posts we all groan about constantly that takes a two paragraph report and turns it into a multipage short story. For God's sake don't start your post mortem doc like: "It was a sunny day in March. Birds were chirping. The air was light and airy. As I poured my coffee into my favorite mug that expressed my personality in porcelain, I knew something was amiss. Today was going to be different." Just consider structuring your documents to be more readable and flowing.
Effective modeling, yes, but not necessarily accurate modeling. The analog circuits are imperfect in many subtle ways, and component level simulation is rare (if it exists at all, I have not seen it). It’s all a bunch of high level approximations that don’t nail the feel to the point of beating blind tests.

It can be done. I don’t know why we aren’t there.

The audio world is halfway to to the alien truther community: the closer a rational outsider looks at it, the crazier they feel. Technically, it’s a trivial field. Yet here we are with snake oil saturation and subpar solutions.
My understanding of why there's a life story copy at the top of recipes is that a recipe is not copyrightable, but a story is.

I love this topic! A couple of unconnected thoughts on it:

I think one thing that's needed to establish a culture of written communication is getting rid of any cultural elements that allow people to use the avoidance of reading and writing as an expression of power. You can frequently determine the balance of power between any two people in an organization by seeing which one has to read and prepare organized documents and presentations, and which one can simply speak and be spoken to. People want to paint pictures of themselves as being able to synthesize knowledge and ideas instantly, utter commands in real time and see them turned into action. In the other direction, they have no time for reading - you must request an audience with them and survive their real-time verbal sparring and probing questions to have your ideas received and considered.

My other musing on this is that I've always wondered if there would be value in teams establishing an internship or low/mid level position for a technical writer to serve as a team librarian. "Easy to search" is good, but "search" itself is not sufficient for many situations - what you need is a person who can answer questions while taking context into account. If I was running a technical team, I'd love to experiment with hiring someone whose primary accountability is answering everyone else's questions, not generating output. In the same way that a good dev needs to organize their workspace and build tools/scripts to be successful, this person will end up organizing the team's information to better accomplish their job.
DP?

and yes, I got good at the easy problems, which would be all that appears in some interviews. In other interviews I could tell or got feedback that I was close to the bar, which is about 30 minutes.

Or if I had an opportunity to finish a harder question later after the interview, I could tell that writing a working solution would have still taken me MUCH longer.

Types don't generally specify intent as well as comments do. They still can only tell you what the code does, not really why. They do clarify some assumptions the implementation makes, essentially defining pre- and post-conditions, which you'd normally write in comments if you didn't have types. But at some point, it does get much easier to say 'performs a stable sort' then to define the dependent types to express that the list is sorted and that the order of equal elements doesn't change.

My point about newtypes and wrappers is that they are almost pure overhead for helper functions. There is a reason why we don't define precise types for each of our intermediate calculations in general, and this doesn't change when we move those computations to a separate function.

Finally, inheritance is not a real solution for returning A or B, with inheritance I can only return a C that both A and B derive from, and this C often doesn't exist and can't be added post-hoc. What you normally do is go for Object or void*, which is much closer to dynamic typing than inheritance. And most mainstream typed languages don't have Either or Result. C++ with std::variant is the only exception, I forgot that it was added. BTW, I should be more explicit - the way I see it, the mainstream typed languages are Java, C#, C, C++, and maybe Go.
Neutrino experiments are a good example! A mistake on my part. I think you're right that the CKM parameters have been bounded more tightly with non-accelerator based neutrino experiments. (Of course, that's still HEP, and it still gets plenty of funding, so it doesn't detract from my point.)

On the other hand, superconductivity is not a good example. It's a still-confusing phenomenon, but the vast majority of physicists believe to follows directly from the known laws of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
I'm sorry, but until I see some proposals from politicians to help depressed people beyond "open up businesses", I'm going to remain very skeptical this is actually a legitimate thing they are concerned about rather than a cynical appeal to emotion. The very people who claim to be so concerned with depression right now are the ones where were and are advocating to slash social support systems. Sure, let's help people who are depressed and sitting at home. This begins with listening to public health experts, who have been begging for politicians to listen to their proposals to combat depression. If the first and only proposal to combat depression is "open up businesses and get people back to work" then how can we be sure these people will still be serious about depression after people get back to work?
> One of the key things in the study is that all of the action is happening away from the tongue. This shows that there are circuits inducing our love for sugar, beyond our love for sweet tastes. This also helps explain why artificial sweeteners have not changed our consumption of sugar, since they fail to activate this new gut-brain circuit.

Could this be (yet) another explanation of why people who use artificial sweeteners don’t control their weight or real sugar intake in the long run? Developing habits is quite hard for many people. Any advancement in handling sugar addiction (without other negative side effects) could prove to be a good thing for all humans (except the ones running corporations whose purpose is to create, maintain and increase such addictions).
Do dependent types really eliminate the need for macros? As far as I can tell you cannot pattern match against values of type Type in dependent languages, so I don’t see how you could generate a JSON parser without some kind of reflection.
In some cases, that was unfortunately quite apparent.

It is, but not if you're trying to get better at SQL.
"The scientists directly injected either glucose or an artificial sweetener to the guts of mice, and saw an activation of different regions of the brain when glucose was present, but not with the artificial sweetener. "

How do they directly inject?
Re: point 2. I'm not necessarily advocating it, but one advantage of doing work outside of SQL is testability. Esp. unit tests. It's still relatively difficult to test SQL, for a variety of reason. I'm working with dbt now, which offers some simple validation out of the box (verify such and such is non-null, for example). More complex tests, such as "verify that some rows/columns have some expected values," require writing a query (returning 0 rows on success, 1 or more on failure.) It works, but still rather clumsy because a) requires an actual database (ie, not really unit testing) and b) writing tests this way is pretty tedious and error prone compared to using a typical assertion framework a la python's unittest.

I totally agree the options are all somewhat unpleasant. I've found dbt to be a nice step in the right direction.

Completely anecdotally, we were staying in an Airbnb for a week before shifting to a longer term rental. This was right when things were shutting down. Our Airbnb host told us that all their renters were cancelling for all their properties. They offered for us to stay essentially as long as we wanted for something like 50% of our rate. We unfortunately couldn't take advantage of that because of the aforementioned prior plans, but it was an interesting data point and would have saved a bunch.
Still, to doubt police need the tools that they nationally use, and to keep equating their needs with the general population, is willfully misinterpreting/miscasting the situation. Even a locksmith is allowed tools outside what the public is allowed. Are police to be just well-meaning neighbors with no ability to do more than gently admonish? Witness the movie "Demolition Man" when cops of the future (actually more like therapists) were steamrollered by a criminal from the past.
It doesn't show preofile views, but as far as I know it shows who watched your stories.
That mostly works if one is able to stay away from other humans and social events forever. For the rest, there are ditches everywhere to fall into.
I'm really not expecting to see a significant drop in home prices at least until close to the end of the year. While some vacation rentals owners might have listed their properties for sale they are doing it pricing those close to the current market value based on other properties for sale in their respective area.
We're looking for a vacation home and i'm monitoring the prices in a few areas pretty close, but i don't think we'll do anything until the start of 2021.

Remember you need surplus to drive price down.
Also keep in mind that the foreclosure process is currently on hold, once this opens again we'll be able to get a closer look at the impact all the closures had/have on the RE market.
I disagree, I would prefer you ask, once, verses wasting a bunch of time going down a rabbit hole.

Ah it's good to hear someone say that. I've never really liked SOLID either. I never found them to give any clear useful guidance, just lot's of discussion about what they really mean.

Which principles you should stick to should be decided by your team, and based on your context: language, app/library, test approach, budget, etc.
