Suffering from herpes virus is a terrible experience because i was told it has no cure the good news am happily sharing now is the great power behind herbal medication i got diagnosed of herpes virus in the year 2018 and in 2019 i started having outbreaks and it became more terrible for me to bare,One blissful morning i came across a blog comment posted by a man call Thompson on how he was cured of herpes simplex virus type 2 with the herbal medication of (Dr Ehimare)who is a specialist in curing all kinds of std virus and chronic disease with herbs, i immediately copied out his contact mail that was (drehimarespelltemple@gmail.com) or call and write him on WhatsApp +2348077694025 and i explain all my problems to him, he was very honest with me and also kept his promise to get me cured with his herbs if i follow the prescriptions he gives along with the medication which i did exactly as he prescribed, to God be the glory My herpes simplex virus i have been suffering from got cured in just 2 weeks after completing the dose of his herbal cure. once again thank you so much sir for restoring my health back and most especially my skin. Please for any who has health problem of any kind should mail him on the email provided above, Give him a chance and see what he can do.

> The problem is rather the lack of public transport + lack of self-driving, green vehicles + lack of widespread remote work.

It's basically about the infrastructure cost and higher density actually helps a lot to reduce this cost and make the system more sustainable. Yes, theoretically you can have good infra without high density, but it will cost much more. There's a good reason why the most dense cities in the world (Beijing, Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo) have the most advanced public transportation system. Even in the US, cities with an acceptable mass transit tend to have decent levels of density.
> if there is so such thing as immunity then waiting for the vaccine is pointless no?

The keyword there is lasting, we know immunity exists we just don't know for how long. If a vaccine could be distributed to enough people in a short enough time frame (we're talking billions and months) it could still wipe out the virus. But if that can't be done then mandatory vaccines for travelers could work.

> ...so what is the lockdown for again?

To keep the number of infections manageable and/or eradicate it entirely, it was never about stalling time for a vaccine.

Until a vaccine is found for the virus, I think states will next begin limiting interstate travel. Or at least forcing a two-week quarantine on incoming visitors, like what Hawaii has done.

These states, or cluster of adjacent states, can effectively become their own operating government.

If the next door state has the virus running rampant, because they did a terrible job with their quarantine, then so be it. They will get travel restrictions from freely entering.

The interesting thing is, this scenario puts these cluster of states into positions of independence. The only thing missing, is to declare their own currency. At which point, the federation government will declare war.
Thank you for creating this.

I have to say, my opinion of Elon Musk has lowered as a result of how he's handling this situation. If he can't get things sorted here on Earth with regards to a pandemic response, how is it going to work out in 10 years when he has a Mars colony to govern? Is there even any plan for how a Mars society is going to proceed in these conditions?

I guess its time to dust off the ol' Zubrin material and catch up with where things are these days, vis a vis the human factors of a Mars colony, but the seriously feudal rants of Musk lately are disheartening to say the least ..

This is from 2008 it seems.
There was a time when it was "systems analysts" who gathered requirements and made decisions and wrote flowcharts, and "programmer" was a glorified data entry position translating a flowchart into assembly/FORTRAN/COBOL on punch cards that the system could run. As computers became more powerful, "programmer/analysts" began writing their own source code in "higher-level" compiled languages (this meant reentrant functions and loops and "if" blocks rather than globals and computed "goto") as the full-time "programmer" job became obsolete with automation.

Temperatures have been rising even further north. I'm near the 47th parallel and there was practically no winter this year. Used to have -20 degC with lots of snow, but alas. Last year's highs were above 40 degC for weeks - unimaginable 20 years ago, and rare 10 years ago.

Everyone's getting air conditioners now. For some unexplainable reasons, people still use dark colored roofs - it's time that everyone painted them white or silver, because those A/Cs will just make everything worse in the long term.

Most people seem to think it's a temporary thing. They'll believe it until it becomes the new normal I guess.
You could also add -ffast-math, which loosens the rules for floating point optimizations. For example, it would allow the compiler to turn floating point divisions into multiplications by an inverse, and to group operations more efficiently even if doing so would slightly affect rounding. It also rounds denormal numbers down to zero, which can greatly improve performance on a lot of hardware.

-march=native may also be useful, as it would allow the compiler to use newer CPU instructions, and tune the generated code to your hardware. That would make the program less portable, but it's not like CUDA is portable either.

My machine matches those numbers surprisingly closely. With -O0 it took 89.6s. With -O3, it took 11.7s. With -Ofast (which combines -O3 and -ffast-math), it took 10.6s. With -Ofast -march=native, it took 8.9s. I would expect those gains to extrapolate to the multi-threaded version, maybe pushing it down to 1 second without any further work. (Note: I'm using GCC on Ubuntu 18.04 with a Haswell i7. Your mileage may vary.)

How Payments Providers Screw You (2015)
I feel that half my job as WordPress developer is knowing or finding quality plugins. It can be a real jungle sometimes. Reading your posts leave no doubt in my mind that Wordfence should be my go-to security plugin in the future.
I think the general idea is simply that you don't use #ifdef but instead move the conditional compilation logic to the build script / build system. Of course you should group in files in a way that avoids redundancy.

This is the way I'm going about it at least, even though I assume there might be complex situations where the boilerplate isn't warranted and it's better to put all the variants in a single file and use the preprocessor to determine which alternative to compile.

Like you say in the end, test features (or maybe standards support), not too-specific things like OS or distribution.

Framework and libraries are both useful. Besides those, languages are also useful.

The problem is there are too many frameworks instead of libraries. People are writing frameworks by default, and frameworks make strong assumptions, making things not flexible, thus frequently burn people.

When tackling a new domain, it's better to write libraries first. Then write frameworks if it can indeed improve things. On top of that, when framework works, there's a chance a language may work better.

In brief, frameworks are overused, while libraries and languages are overlooked.

It does seem that way.

That's a truism, I suppose. But it's perhaps too early to conclude that it won't become much worse.

> Let's hope we learned our lesson and are prepared next time.

Sure. But the requisite changes might be more than people will accept. Such as traveler quarantines, and other restrictions on international air travel.
The narrative of combating global warming / climate change is ineffective and it misses the point. The Earth can quite naturally be inhospitable to human life. The narrative needs to be one of terraforming our own planet.
I agree in theory, but in practice I've found it very hard to keep Spring (Boot) out of my code.

Part of the blame I think falls on Spring's DI container, which is "too good". It makes it easy to pull in any bean, even the wrong one, which means developers have to be disciplined managing how beans depend on each other, and you end up with controllers returning entities. Of course, any codebase turns into a mess if you're not disciplined, but my impression is that developers tend to be less careful when working within the confines of a framework like Spring because it gives them the false sense that they can do no wrong.

Recently I started a side project with Spring Boot (after all I like the framework), trying to organise it following Uncle Bob's Clean Architecture approach, which aims to isolate the core business logic of an app from its implementation details like database code and external interfaces. The core turned out pretty well isolated, but the rest is all Spring. Database access? Spring Data. External interface? Spring MVC. Communication with external services? Spring RestTemplate. I'm not saying it's bad, it's actually awfully convenient, but it's not so easy to swap out - say - Spring MVC for http4k, so you end up with Spring being everywhere. Which again, not a bad thing, just something to consider.
The AI shouldn't cheat, use only information that is available to the player.

However if yo write a framework write a framework.

Looking at you React. Doing Vue was so much easier when I had a Vue project because there were a lot fewer choices.
My favorite as well.

I think Terminator gave me a real boost on productivity. The split feature is great. And it has a lot more good things, like increase/decrease/reset text size, resize/rotate/expand or even drag-and-drop splits, grouping (to write in multiple splits at once), and the scrolling is done very well: scroll up a bit to stop following the output, scroll to bottom to follow again.
That's the one I would have mentioned as well.

When you release something as FOSS, you think people will offer contributions to your code. What you get instead is tons of issues on your issue tracker without anyone trying to solve their problems and taking the issue tracker as some sort of commercial support. If you assume the role of maintainer, you will get more work from sharing your code, not less. And most of that work will be to try to figure people problems because they didn't try to solve them themselves as it's easier to just open an issue and wait. Most of them won't even have looked at your code.

This is easily solved, though : just don't provide an issue tracker (or disable it if there's one, like on github). This may sound harsh, but if what you have to offer is useful, better disabling the issue tracker than not releasing it. People can still fork your code and fix their problem, and you can then merge it in your code. Not every developer is a maintainer.
I'm not familiar with scala but will take a look. Completely agree over your last point. I very much prefer libraries over frameworks, and as you said pointcuts are a bit fragile, but my main point is that they behave differently because of bytecode transforms.
A lot of people type without having to look buy without using the proper technique, essentially doing hunt and peck with two or three fingers but with good muscle memory. Proper touch typing is about using specific fingers to specific keys and remaining on the home row when not in use.
I spent quite as few years as a contractor and I quickly discovered the best way to be effective was to learn how to be effective with everything in the default settings. At every new place I went I could just jump right in. No need for any time spent fiddling with settings or tweaking and installing pluggins.

Although a slight counterpoint is that I also used to have my git settings file stored in a github gist so I could just grab my latest one and every new environment would have the same set of aliases I was used to.

> it's not clear that we would have incurred excess deaths due to capacity overrun. The biggest botteleneck is the presence of people on invasive ventilation

I think it is an important point. What is implicit in your comment but I think is worth reminding people is that the survival rate of covid patients under invasive ventilation is about 10%. If everything else could scale up, it means we would only increase the death rate by less than 10% if the ICUs would be overrun.
Science Trumps Denial
Nothing of this is invalid HTML. It has always been part of the HTML DTD that certain tags are optional and certain tags does not need to be explicitly closed. This is a carry-over from SGML. The quoting rules for attributes are also well-defined, there is no guesswork or error-recovery involved.

Now it this was about XHTML you would have a point.

People often mix-up optional syntax and error recovery. You can leave out the <head>-tags, the parser can infer it - this is well-defined by the DTD. It is not an example of error recovery.

Seconded. I finally skipped endlessly looking for the perfect note system and just created this stupid 10ish snippet of shell:

https://github.com/lloeki/dotfiles/blob/master/shell/notes

note foo # creates a note in vim
note # lists notes in vim’s netrw

Since note file names are time stamped, they’re sorted and I don’t have to care about dupe names. It defaults to creating as .md but renaming the file afterwards doesn’t matter.

It’s so dead simple that I use it all the time instead of fantasising about the perfect note system.
