'The Office' Is Playing Out on Slack–and That's Sad
I use Bitrefill to buy pre-paid credits from my daughter's mobile phone. Paying with Lightning gives me a small discount and the payment process is easy. I use the "Bitcoin Lightning Wallet" app on my Android phone (BLW). I had to transfer some coins into the wallet initially and then use some of those coins to "open a lightning channel". Once that's done, paying for something on Bitrefill takes a couple of touches. The transaction completes nearly instantaneously (like less than 10 seconds) and the fees are small (0.1% fee on 15 USD payment).

Ease of use for Lightning is not to the point where I think it is good enough for the average user. However, in the early days getting on the Internet was also not easy (remember dialup, PPP and SLIP? I do). I think Lightning is interesting because anyone has the ability to set themselves up as a merchant and receive payments. Right now it is complicated and a bit clunky but it is actually possible.

"tether bad, so bitcoin bad!"
The whole idea that Bitcoin will have a finite supply is nonsense. There's already dozens of Bitcoin forks, some of which lay claim to be the "one true Bitcoin". If the majority decides that whatever is now referred to as the Bitcoin blockchain should not have a limited supply, so it will be. Ultimately, the ones calling the shots here are the same people receiving the block reward, so if transaction fees don't make up for loss in block reward, what's to stop them?

On a secondary note, who can claim that it is a good thing that money can't be printed if necessary? The crisis of 2008 was a liquidity crisis, without the ability to print money it could've turned into a great depression. Making the money supply fixed is just throwing out one tool out of the toolbox.

This raises good points. SPA are certainly not the right solution for all projects. Static pages (such as AMP) are great for document type projects where speed is important and vanilla is often needed for high performance apps.

NiFi is meant for stream processing and Airflow for batch processing, if your NiFi triggers an Airflow DAG that means that your entire process is batch processing and you shouldn't use NiFi in the first place. If you still want to do stream processing then use Airflow sensors to "trigger" it.

How can one measure such high sensitivity and specificity rates when no other test has such high rates?

Surely the only way to measure a test is to compare against ground truth data, which can only come from other test processes, and therefore can never reach 100%?
I am sorry, but I don't know what that means. Does it mean it is able to determine emotions? Or how focused a person is?

* your plane won’t take off, because there’s been yet another NPM dependency breakage because someone got annoyed and removed their single line “right pad” package, which causes the avionics to break because some dependency 400 layers down the tree used it to align an ad that displays on the command line at startup

* the plane crashes because in an emergency the pilots couldn’t find the instrumentation they were looking for, because the UI was updated for the 15th time that month and that disk has been removed “because A/B testing showed nobody clicked on it”.

Another insidious motive for the avoidance of writing: keeping things off the record.

Writing requires you to put your name on your ideas. It promotes other pro-social traits, like being vulnerable. It's a lot harder to do negative politics if you're required to take your claims to paper. It's a lot harder to spread misinformation if you have other folks in the organization that can easily go look up your claims and fact check them.

Taking everything "offline" is a great way to bully, lie, cheat, and steal without fear of accountability. It hides incompetence. Weak leaders avoid writing lest they be exposed.

Most major cities will have multiple hospitals coordinating amongst a grid and EMT/fire stations that are localized as well. Depending on traffic you should be at the hospital in under 15. The hospitals may have specialties (head trauma, pediatrics, etc) that are in different city hospitals. These may not be available at all in smaller hospitals.

When I used to visit the countryside 1 hospital would serve an entire county or more. And if you couldn't be driven it was an expensive helicopter ride.

> If you have an index on <companyId, userId>, and you query with a userID only, that index wont be used.

Surprisingly, it could be used in some circumstances, just not for the regular seek.

If the index is small (compared to the base table), the DBMS may decide to perform a full index scan (instead of the full table scan), especially if your SELECT list doesn't contain columns which are not in the index.

And Oracle can employ so called "skip scan" if it realizes that the number of distinct companies is small. This is essentially a separate seek under each distinct company.

Massive eye roll. Yes let's blame the poor for their bad purchasing decisions, instead of idk not getting paid enough?

That's $50/year + $240/year, call it $300 a year to get an iphone and a big screen tv. Amazing. Are you really here trying to tell me that $300/year is going to make the difference between crushing poverty and a healthy life and retirement?

Now compare that with a $2/hour raise, which amounts to somewhere north of $300/month extra. $3600/year. Yeah, THAT is getting a lot closer to the difference between crushing poverty and a reasonable retirement.

> It installs like an appliance and feels like you are grappling with a legacy tool weighed down by a classic view on architecture and maintenance.

This is actually a fair and well-articulated point of view. NiFi is currently an "appliance" like you said. Worse, it's a Pet and not a Cattle.

I believe there is active work in the community to address some of that pain. For example, there was a recent addition to NiFi called "stateless NiFi" which enables NiFi to better run in Kubernetes and other "cloud" architectures.

It's not there yet, it's still what would be described as a "fat" application. But I believe that eventually NiFi will evolve to more like a command-and-control tool for the cloud and less like something you have to install directly to your hardware. We hopefully see the day where "NiFi-as-a-Service" exists, which would really be an improvement over the current model.
How much time did/do you spend for home grocery management? I'm super interested in doing this for my family but I'm worried I won't have time to maintain it.
I've used mostly the Teensy LC, 3.2 and 3.6 boards. I use them as kind of a cross between a GPIO and a data acquisition board. For instance it's easy to plug one into USB and write a program that lets you talk to it, e.g., from Python, to read voltages, turn things on / off, etc.

From there, it's not a huge quantum leap to program some lengthy sequences of operations into the Teensy itself rather than in Python, e.g., averaging 1000 consecutive analog readings, or interfacing with some interesting chip via SPI bus. Migrating this functionality onto the Teensy reduces the amount of USB traffic needed to implement a function, so the "system" as a whole becomes more efficient.

Also, the Teensy can do stuff in real time based on its internal clock, that can be difficult on a modern operating system.

The T3.6 has built-in floating point, which makes some kind of programming easier.

So far I haven't created any stand-alone uses to speak of. I'm mainly interested in stuff that extends the functionality of my regular PC. I've even created such mundane things as a USB temperature sensor. While not the cheapest or most elegant way to do it, I was able to spin it up in no time flat for something that needed it.

From a perspective of evolution, aging and dying and new borns, make sense, because the environment changes. And youth is able to adopt better to new changes.
Cancer is very correlated with aging though so that might not be so true. Cancer is complicated, you can see Peto's paradox for a nice example.

hm, care to explain more? that's exactly how I think about it. Total deaths in NYC attributable to covid (~20k) over the total population (8.5M) = ~.25%. In my mind this is a very easy lower bound to estimate, what am I missing here?

In anycase, even a rate of ~.1% would be absurd given ~20% of people are testing positive by antibody tests.
Depends on how you mean. My modular synth has many Chord Organ and Radio Music modules, by Tom Whitwell of Music Thing Modular. They're all Teensy 3.1 and the audio's taken off an extra pin (not in the DIP configuration, and I've forgotten to include it before) and buffered with simple TL07* op amps. It's mono, I think it's 44.1k and effectively 12-bit, and I suspect it needs the op-amps for buffering and boosting, but it's absolutely there and that's the 'cruder ways' and though it's primitive and mono it absolutely works, and works surprisingly well with filtering/reverb/etc.

What I'd like is a Teensy board with SERIOUS analog output that still works with my Chord Organ firmware. Like 192k (or indeed 96k) and 24 bit… but I could get a lot of use out of even low-bit at elevated sample rates, because one of my options for coding stuff on the firmware and Tom's eurorack module hardware is using the Teensy's library to produce multiple square waves.

If I'm outputting square waves I can use almost arbitrarily low-bit word length, but high sample rate will greatly reduce aliasing, and not just for high frequencies. The Teensy raw audio stuff has a characteristic grunginess on squares and saws that is mostly or entirely about aliasing.

I wrote this just as got distracted by kids / life etc - was meant to be a little more ... something.

What I am trying to say is that enclosed public spaces are going to be very risky for a long time - airline cabins, High rise elevators etc.

And someone is going to have to offset that risk - someone will need to pay for insurance such that if I catch Covid on your airplane and I sue the airline, they are covered.

Similarly the firm that employs me will need insurance to protect itself for 'forcing' me into an elevator in order to work.

These insurers will set the baseline - maximum occupancy, levels of pre-boarding tests etc. Whatever it is what will drive the occupancy rates will be determined by insurance premiums.

In airline terms that's almost certain to drive up ticket prices. It is also likely to put nitro into the tanks of NetJets etc - if you can afford first class you won't ever dream of getting on a Jumbo jet again.

SO I agree with the thrust of the article. What does strike me is that if you work somewhere that requires an elevator to get to it, you almost certainly can work from home.

This is encouraging. Two negative viral tests and a positive antibody test, and people should be able to get an ID that says they're exempt from movement and mask restrictions. (To discourage faking this, getting that ID should also turn eligibility for the Emergency Care Benefit, since they can work safely.)

There's still argument over how long immunity lasts, but it has to be at least two or three months, or there would already be widespread (large numbers) reports of people getting the disease more than once. So, for now, IDs could be good for three months. They can be extended later as more info comes in.

First step in the US should be to test first responders in NYC. NYC already has maybe 21% antibody-positive people, and those on the front lines are probably higher. Knowing who's immune will be a great relief to them.

> An opinion that’s largely held by programmers and not people who actually do maths.

The "people who actually do maths" will almost by definition exclude anyone who has issues understanding the notation. You need to look at the latter group of people to work out if the notation is unnecessarily obtuse.

> it’s honestly so, so much worse. It’s multitude more verbose and so much harder to grasp.

As a counterexample, consider the proof that undirected Hamiltonian cycles is NP-complete, by reduction from directed Hamiltonian cycles. Karp's original paper says literally just this:

N = V × {0, 1, 2}

A = {{<u,0>, <u,1>}, {<u,1>, <u,2>} | u ∈ V} ∪ {{<u,2>,<v,0>} | <u,v> ∈ E}

By contrast, a vernacular English description would look like this:

Replace every node in the directed graph with a set of three nodes in a line. Gather all the incoming edges to the first node, and all the outgoing edges to the last node. Every path that visits every node exactly once must reach the middle node by starting at the first node and going through to the last node, and thence to the first node of a corresponding subsequent node, so every Hamiltonian path in the undirected graph is a Hamiltonian path in its directed counterpart.

More verbose, yes, but (IMO) easier to grasp.

Internet is full of these stories, I believe none. For one, even if there are people who look younger (say, Selena Gomez, or Lucy Liu) even them cannot pass to be 10+ years younger than they are, after looking at them in person. Have you actually met a 30+ year old person who could pass consistently as a teenager? I have never met one. The second thing is that if you are "routinely" told that you look XX or YY years old , either you are going around people telling your actual age, or they are being gracious in their compliment. You dont approach a teenager to tell them that they look young.
