IMHO, the framework vs library debate is similar to the inheritance vs composition.

Inheritance: You must predict how people will use your class. Make a mistake and they're screwed and need to resort to all kinds of hack. (Like frameworks)

Composition: People will use your class if it fits their needs. They can easily wrap the code, tweak or simply discard it. (Like libraries)

Nobody claimed Doom has the same literary merit as the Iliad; but it’s a fact that it has a lot of cultural merit.

The Wright brothers built an airplane that was a simple and early innovation, yet will always be remembered. Henry Ford build a simple and early car that will always be remembered. There’s evidence that simple and early innovations are lasting and culturally important.

Who knows if it’ll be remembered in a millennium? No one here, and maybe it will or maybe it won’t, but it already stands above most computer games ever made as an important milestone, it’s place in video game history is pretty solid. No reason to doubt a legacy is possible.

That is, if you want to give them credit for any strategy at all. And no, the curve is not the same as everywhere [0].

Being a resident Swede, my lasting impression is that the so-called "strategy" has two legs (can be backed by a long list of official statements) 1: hope that the virus does not hit, and if it does, that it is not necessary to do anything and/or it is already too late anyway and that hopefully it will disappear through herd immunity. A hope that has been expressed up to twice weekly for the last 2 months or so, while the number of deaths go up and up. And 2: in a manner typical of governmental agencies everywhere: never ever admit to any mistake or error in judgement. Like admitting that the recommendation for the public not to use face masks was wrong, and was brought on by secondary concerns (over availability in hospitals). Even now (as of yesterday) the official stance is that using face masks might increase risks and efficacy is not backed by "scientific proof".

The paper should probably be seen in this light. The main author of the paper Tom Britton forms together with Giesecke and Tegnell the "herd immunity" triumvirate that is responsible for the Swedish mess that currently renders Sweden a place among the top 10 countries with most fatalities per million. At the face of it this paper just seems to confirm that protective measures actually work. But by shining the light the herd immunity aspect of the equation he makes it sound like they were right all along.

Off-shoring and layoffs for two. A successful entrepeneur in his fifties wrote about going back to his MIT 30-year reunion. All the folks who were in law were at the top of their careers.

> To require non-essential workers to go back to work right now is far more fascist than to require people to stay in place to protect their health.

How is that more facist?

I am reading the definition of Fascism:

-----

a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

-----

I don't want to weigh in what side of the coin I oppose, but your statement isn't making much sense to me, perhaps you can expand.

Case 1: Gov requiring citizens to stay home

Case 2: Gov r̶e̶q̶u̶i̶r̶i̶n̶g allowing citizens to go to work

Both cases are exercise of authority.

Edit: Case 1 is clearly fascist, and Case 2 is not.

Some historical context from the Wikipedia article a sibling comment links to, because a few seem to assume some states created this law as a response to Tesla:

"The laws against direct sales arose historically in the United States starting in the 1930s, as automobile manufacturers started using independently franchised dealerships to offload the tasks of retail selling and servicing vehicles.[35] The laws have been actively defended into the 21st century and extended to online in-state sales.[36][37] Such regulations protect dealerships against a manufacturer opening its own dealerships and competing against resellers, which could be seen as an abuse of the manufacturer-franchise relationship.[35] Critics view the laws as thwarting legitimate competitive pressure that benefits consumers, and some have described them as "protectionism",[35] and "crony capitalism".[38]"

> what is gambling but a slower way to lose a bunch of money while getting a little entertainment out of it?

That's generally how I look at it when I'm in Vegas. I'll take $100 from the ATM and sit down at a poker table. Occasionally I get unlucky and play really poorly and I'm out in an hour, but usually I get at least a few hours, and on the flip side, I've spent an entire night at a table on that $100, and it's a blast. Of course this also depends on the other people at the table, and the dealers that come through. Some tables just aren't that fun to be at (you're of course playing against the other people at the table, and some people take it very seriously), while others are great.

Craps can be a huge amount of fun, especially when people are lucky, because you develop a kind of silly temporary camaraderie with random strangers at the table. Blackjack can be the same way, too (though I never learned how to properly play, so I usually don't last long).

Consider that if you go to see a movie (often $15-25 just for the ticket these days), and you're the kind of person to get concessions and whatnot, you can easily spend $50 or more for 1.5-2 hours of entertainment. I'm cool paying $100 for sometimes 6-8 hours of fun, plus free drinks. Now, for people who don't find that kind of thing fun, then sure, that's not for them. And for people who have a gambling addiction, that's great way to spend money they don't have. But if you enjoy it, and are good about setting yourself monetary limits, and consider your buy-in to be a cost of entertainment, it's fine.
There's so much conflicting information out there right now that I'm not even listening to it. I'm wearing masks and avoiding people, because my wife has bad lungs and I have a 6 month old. Until there's more facts that are rock solid, all anyone is doing is speculating. The real issue here is lack of consistency and leadership from the top levels of government (USA here). If we had a consistent message from the experts and politicians together, then there would be less speculation, less fighting over lockdowns, less misinformation, and less grasping at straws guessing what the virus is doing. Instead, we (Americans in aggregate) have lost trust in both the experts and politicians, which is resulting in major issues. The deadliness of the virus isn't the major issue, it's the infighting that's preventing us from fixing it that's the issue now and will result in more dead.

For the same reason some people are better at working from the office than others - they just do the work and are diligent about putting in the time required. Someone who is motivated to do the work will do the work from anywhere. I'm one of those people. If I didn't want to be doing the work, I'd be shirking my duties at the office too. And tech is still good enough for us workers that I'd go down the street for a new job before I ever got to the point where I didn't want to do the work anymore.

Note to anyone actually trying this: if you have a drill, drilling a hole in a piece of wood and sticking the stick (preferably dowel) through works better; if you need more weight, attach the rock to one side of the head, and a coin or other patch of metal to the other.

Folks, apologies, but I think we got a bit side tracked here, TileDB does not suffer from the consistency issues mentioned above.

Here is how TileDB performs a new (potentially concurrent with other reads and writes) write:

- It creates a fragment folder (or "prefix" of a set of objects on S3 - there are no "folders" on S3) which is timestamped and carries a unique UUID. This fragment is self-contained and represents the entire write (e.g., all cells and all attribute values)

- It writes all data objects under the fragment prefix. Note that TileDB never updates, it always writes new immutable objects.

- After all the PUT requests succeed for the data objects, it creates an empty "ok" object.

Here is how TileDB performs a (potentially concurrent with other reads and writes) read:

- It lists the array prefix to get the ok objects

- There are two cases:

1. The ok object is not there for some fragment. That fragment is completely ignored.

2. The ok object is there. Since TileDB writes the ok object last, all the data objects it wrote have been committed and are all visible with GET requests. TileDB reads the data objects only with GET requests (not ListObject requests). Due to S3’s read-after-write consistency model (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/Introduction...), all those objects will be available for reading (now on all S3 regions) with GET and there will be no errors.

Therefore, TileDB follows the eventual consistency model of S3 without any errors and surprises. The user doesn't need to handle anything. Our customers have been using TileDB in production for a long time, storing hundreds of TBs of data on S3, and no consistency issue has ever come up.

Summarizing, what xyzzy_plugh is raising here is that TileDB does not have ACID guarantees. And that is true (we never claimed the contrary) and intentional. We are building a transactional layer outside of the storage engine. The reason is that this transactional layer indeed needs to be a constantly running distributed service, whereas we want the TileDB storage engine to be embeddable and used without performance regression even by applications that do not need ACID (that is, the majority of our data science applications).
Zapier is doing something complex?

It is literally looking at json schemas and API specs and the connecting fields together. A date-time field is connected to another API's date-time.
The relationship between the spike and the beginning of spread is changed by the effectiveness of lockdown/other measures. Not to mention other variables like population density, population activity, etc.
... because they've been too aggressive, or too passive? I'm still in the "there shouldn't be a lockdown for healthy people under 50" camp (since IFR is so low for that demographic), but I could see people being mad at states for the opposite reason, too.

I didn't really understand this bit from her, though. Her position in the team was not to win a lot, but to bet consistently, probably overall slowly bleed money, and signal the Big Player to come over when the count was favorable. "Not winning enough to warrant extra scrutiny" is literally her role in the team.
I wanted to see if it would ask for access to my entire Google Sheets account, so I tried signing into https://gsheet2mail.com/ and got an error message.

I tried clicking advanced, and yep, it wants access to all my spreadsheets =) I said no, but I don't want a google sheets to RSS converter right now anyway.

This is one advantage Zapier has over unbundled apps - I'm more likely to want to give Zapier permissions to my APIs because it's an established company and it can help with a bunch of different things, than to give access to a new single function tool.

If i remember correctly BF4 follows the same logic of BF3, meaning that "Custom" servers are actually running only on hostings that EA has given license to, so at best the administrator has the ability to manage the players and not the game itself.

The only thing that may dissuade game creators from creating openly available dedicated server software is that they will need to let everyone access the list of servers(like Valve), so they would get traffic without any kind of ROI.

The frustration (and venting) is perhaps understandable, but it's not a good look to be begging for special treatment. Hundreds of bay area folks are currently in the ICU with COVID-19. A bit of carelessness or bad luck and those hundreds will become (tens of) thousands.
I’ll suggest not for story, just for overall surprise. Doom was a big leap over what came before it. Doom 3 wasn’t as surprising, even with more story.

I’d turn it around and instead of shooting the idea down, play the game and suggest what games you think will make the history books and get talked about in a thousand years. Even if it’s just some sort of computer or game history class in college, what games made before today will make it through the sieve of history and why?

I’d humbly suggest that story isn’t a very strong reason for the majority of the best games ever made; games are good for other reasons, including but not limited to visuals and graphics, immersion, interaction, engagement, sound, mood, viral play, pushing boundaries on limited hardware, etc., etc.
Cool project. I have been on the lookout for something like this.

The idea of exocortex seems to be something that many people want, and almost universially re-invent because the way in which structuring makes sense is different for everyone. I like the approach of making it modular so people can pick and choose parts and do their own integration.

What I learned from thinking about this problem is that this kind of integration is really hard and almost impossible to tackle without an evolutionary approach, and it made me go meta and focus on incremental development of the integration layer first. My interpretation of the idea of exocortex might be a bit different in that the focus is not so much about information per se, but more about systems that interact with the physical world. Here's a writeup in case anyone is interested in where it took me: https://github.com/zwizwa/erl_tools/blob/master/doc/exo.org
I don't know how people are finding ways to contradict your comment.

Native means using the native UI toolkit. Or if not about UIs, it can mean compiled to native machine code ahead of time.

People used to care about native vs non-native because of the look and feel.

Now people are complaining about performance, memory use, and startup times. Everyone would be happy using a non native toolkit if it was fast, used little memory and started quickly.

Why can't we be precise with our language? We're engineers, it seems critical to use precise terminology. If you don't like the look and feels let's discuss that, if you don't like the memory use, let's discuss that, if you don't like the distribution or install size, let's discuss that.
Good point. So Case 1 is more fascist, opposite of what the OP is claiming.

Theres a risk of antibody dependent enhancement (antibodies backfire and lead to worse disease) with coronavirus antibody cocktails based on what we know about SARS. There are efforts to develop monoclonal antibodies that are selected to avoid ADE if that turns out to be a problem, so maybe a passive vaccine like that could be viable
