The priorities all major surgeries and try to work with patients to push off the ones in terms of severity. That way hospital could at least keep taking people.

OK, I checked it out. I'm still not seeing reminders integrated with the notifications on my phone, nor am I seeing anything that the people on my marketing team would touch with a 10-ft pole.

There are lots of tools I'd use if I weren't programming for work and didn't have a team of mixed technical skills, and perhaps Emacs fits into that category.
Whatever supply issues AMD has, I can still get their chips at or below MSRP from a number of vendors. The latest generation of Intel chips, on the other hand, are hard to find and selling at a significant premium where they are available.
I think this is far less evident than usually assumed. The life of the last hunter gatherer tribes is probably the best approximation we have on how our ancestors may have lived. And while death is a more common (and swifter, less problematic) occurrence for these people, they were hardly unhappy compared to us -- sure, they didn't have iphones.
I think anything that can be undone by the state should be subject to QI.

If the State takes money from you, maybe QI applies to that, because if the State is in the wrong it can make you whole.

But if the State's agents take your life, or if they take your freedom, the State cannot make you whole. Maybe, then, QI immunity should not apply. These actions are irreversible and do irreparable harm.

Further, I think the "knowledge" aspect needs to be dialed way back. Way way back. It shouldn't be sufficient for the state agent to not know about a law. For QI the State should need to show that its legal argument would have a reasonable likelihood of success on the merits.

Courts already think about irreparable harm and likelihood of success on the merits when they grant things like a TRO. I think QI could be workable if it applied on similar grounds as a TRO. It's a test courts are familiar with, and it's almost certainly enough to prevent nuisance lawsuits against individuals reasonably discharging their duties.
That's a bit of a stretch of what he said (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/ny-gov-cuomo-says-its-shocki...).

* Hospitalizations, not cases and not infections. That skews old/out of the workforce.

* The stat is that 66% live at home and 84% not working.

* That doesn't mean they are 100% to the letter respecting social distancing. Nor does it mean they don't have housemates that aren't working. (That could be the case, but there's no data).
That's plainly hysteria and you're only encouraging unnecessary distrust.

The overwhelming majority of interactions with police for any race are benign. You've been manipulated by a race baiting media.
Police officers and police departments are made up of all ethnicities, same goes for the owners of capital. Not all who profess faith are true to their teachings. Just look at how the teachings of Christianity were used to colonize America, the largest genocide in human history.
I mean claiming machine details that have nothing to do with novelty such as "...; and wherein the received xxx is stored in one or more locations in a memory hardware buffer." Clearly, clauses like this do not support novelty but neither are they practically limiting because every computer does this. Sometimes it took more effort/amendments, but this shows the general idea.

Though, I guess such amendments could be seen as limiting old-school business method claims, but I don't consider business method patents to be software patents.
Probably yeah. One thing is that it helps to have a statically typed language to do these optimisations, since you can used type-based analysis for them. So dynamically typed languages like Lisp or Python are going to have a harder time doing them.
But then what does Spacemacs offer me over plain Emacs?

And I’ll also have to learn all the things it does differently. All in all, sounds like a net negative to me.

It does seem possible at this point. They did it with their browser: the rendering engine changed from a point of differentiation to a liability, so they threw in with #1 to have some influence over it. The OS is headed that way.
What you gave is a strawman argument. Read what was originally written:

> What mindset? That preserving life is more palatable than making money? I'm ok with that. I'd rather be unemployed than dead.

You can "preserve life" by quarantining every flu epidemic. But this is an absurd argument. At some point the 'preserving life' argument breaks down.
They were jealous of how easy to use and beautiful Ruby is.
A possible alternative - and I'm categorically not saying this is true, not even likely - is that Covid19 is more infectious, and more widely infected people. But, that fewer people were susceptible, so there would be more asymptomatic carriers but fewer people hospitalised. If a virus runs out of people to infect then it will peak.

You can prove that scenario wrong by testing (if number of 'already infected' is relatively low then this hypothesis would be wrong and the risk of further peaks is higher; I don't have enough data to attempt to disprove such a hypothesis.
> Cookies are preferred by developers who fear JavaScript precisely because because they can be written and transmitted without need for JavaScript.

You seem to believe that developers should always chose the most complex and intricate solution possible, and the only reason someone would chose a simpler solution would be due to incompetence or ignorance of the more complex solution.

This is completely opposite of all good engineering practice. Complexity is not a goal, it is a liability. You want to have the minimum amount of complexity which solves the problem.

A huge chunk of our net impact on global warming and deforestation is a direct result of our food system, namely animal agriculture.

There is disagreement about just how inefficient turning an acre of corn into slabs of cow, but it should be clear that it is some fraction of the efficiency of just eating that corn as food itself.
In Wuhan the infection rate went down only when they started to place any person who required quarantine to separated buildings.

This points out that perhaps transmission across apartment building is significant.
I haven't dug into the details a ton, but I am excited to see this! Would love to see more research in this direction.

> micro-mitten's approach is significantly different from Rust's. Rather than depending on single ownership and a complex lifetime system, micro-mitten uses a series of data-flow analyses to statically approximate heap liveness.

To be clear, Rust these days also looks at control-flow. This was what all the "non-lexical lifetimes" hubbub was about. And the next generation checker is based on datalog...
3x seems reasonable.

I've subcontracted out to folks, and even at a 2x markup, with the coordination, review, and other unbillable activities I made almost no profit. As a percentage, it was barely worth even having the initial leverage and I rarely did it (at 2x markup) unless it was strictly to meet a deadline. In large orgs where profit is a requirement for just about every interaction I can see how 3x or 4x would be necessary to justify doing the work in the first place.

Given how wildly the framework usage [1] differs from the long-standing and well known State of JS survey results [2], I'd be fairly wary of anything else they claim.

Ex Amazon here.

I agree with most of the principles and find them meaningful rather than "deliver excellence" platitudes.

But some some principles clearly apply only to the workers and not management. Earn Trust, Have backbone and Frugality especially.

> Amazon is a startup at scale

That's a PR slogan.

> It shouldn't just be about the stock price, y'know?

Amazon is a for-profit company. Workers engage in frugality, stockholders enjoy the billions.

> because people challenged authority

Amazon is quite data-driven when it comes to engineering but very vertical and disciplinarian.
Try challenging Bezos, or talking about unions, for example. Remember point 6 of the SOA memo?

'the curve' is based on a model. All models are wrong. No matter how much it is broadcasted.

The media (not sure what work the word "mainstream" is doing in this context) cherry picks what will give them clicks and views then runs it until it stops getting clicks and views.
Google AdSense killing off ‘ad balance’ feature later this month
There was an interview reported Wednesday evening in a story published yesterday, but I only found this after lots of Googling and transcript searching, and it did not mention the “Tim Bray” story: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/technology/amazon-coronav...

The only coverage I saw that mentioned their words cited a thank you tweet. The story remained on Tim Bray until the above story happened, which likely received less coverage because it was political.

I don’t want to say it’s one of those “people only listen to white guys” stories but it does kind of feel that way. I found only one photo published of any of the folks who were previously laid off for said “chickensh*t” reasons and it wasn’t a nice photo.

I can understand though. Tim Bray has been blogging for ages and controlled the story’s timing. He didn’t promote the tweets or work with others to make sure they were available for interviews the way, presumably, Warren’s team did. And everyone is laid off, they can’t go have professional headshots taken, covid makes any TV interview harder, nobody had B-roll or PR people to help coordinate on the side of the whistleblowers. So... it happens then that the personal stories fall through the cracks. It’s possible folks have NDAs too, of course.
Yeah, like good luck trying to source a 9900KS for anywhere near MSRP, which was just a polished revised 9900K so Intel could still technically claim the “gaming crown” from AMD.
Here's an idea. For once in our existence, leave us alone.

Don't bomb Pearl Harbor.

Don't steal our nuclear weapons and sell mass murder to the highest bidder.

Don't lure us into Korea and Vietnam after Pearl Harbor, and then commit a century long mass murder suicide.

Don't addict millions of people including children to tons of smuggled drugs.

Don't blow up the twin towers.

Don't cross use HIV to cross SARS with the common cold and unleash it on the world.
But quarantining after the flu can "save lives". But my point is that it runs counter to the "That preserving life is more palatable than making money" argument. It's a tradeoff, in other words. If you REALLY wanted to "save lives", you can quarantine during every flu epidemic.
Yes, absolutely.

More fulfilling for me however is not the code itself, but significant results. I have captured/framed a few graphs in my career that look like a "sudden jump" or a "sudden drop", which were caused by deploying a more elegant solution to a problem or pain point.
>I think the article takes a very balanced stance.

Not really. It just does the usual cowardly trick of complaining about something by selectively citing cherry-picked experts. Rather than this quote salad I'd very much prefer honest, direct criticism where the outlet or the authors make it clear what is their stance and why.

That is the responsible thing to do. It wouldn't present opinion as news (as is the case with this article) and it would give a better opportunity for people to respond to criticism.
Yes, assuming you mean "way out" in the same sense the parent post meant "getting off at the station".
>with Facebook it's a private company doing the censoring and there's no issue with that, no First Amendment issues at all, unlike WeChat where the censoring is heavily linked to the government;

Why does this not apply to other situations such as who I hire?

Also, is not Facebook used by parts of the US government? If Facebook prevents me from sending that link to any government representative then does that not constitute the government (by choosing to use Facebook as a communication channel) censoring my speech? It would be similar to the case of Trump blocking individuals on Twitter. Imagine if government offices swapped to some religious based chat forum as their official means of communication where messages from all people not of a certain religion (as determined by the sight) are filtered.
I don’t do research for people. If you lack the curiosity to seek out the answer then just disagree with me.
Windows allows the Linux layer and Ubuntu is the most popular option. Because the Windows market share goes down slightly doesn’t mean the new ubuntu users are exclusively separate users. There’s just an addition funnel of access now, creating more ubiquity amongst platforms. Yay!

Actually it's not contradictory at all, it makes sense.

Whenever I visit America I'm astonished at how outrageous and uncivil some people behave. They really do want to press their freedom against the rights of others.

Carrying guns is the best example - it's an obvious 'freedom' that massively complicated policing and everything else.

Police in the US are rightly very afraid when pulling over someone for something petty like speeding because that person could be upset and have a gun. Where I'm from cops are not afraid because nobody has guns.

The woman who defied 'stay at home orders' - how do you deal with that as a cop? She just wants to cut hair to make money to stay alive, but you have to arrest her, which could lead to a confrontation with her and her 'supporters with guns'.

An ideology of 'land of the free' will necessarily have excessive conflict at the margins where said freedoms interdict with the ostensible freedoms of others and you have law enforcement in the middle trying to sort it out in sometimes ambiguous situations.
There is something enlightening and deeply inspiring about how protesters in Ecuador were able to detain the police themselves and order them to unequip their riot gear. Among the crowd they were presented as equal to the protesters. Many riot police are portrayed as faceless monsters hiding behind riot masks and advanced military equipment.

It had never occurred to me that the people can win and detain the police, not the other way around.

This is good info. These are all things I really, really don't want to do in my IDE. I want my IDE to be a good IDE, and I want my other tools to be purpose-built as well.

That is a reasonable objection. But now that we have this data, there doesn't seem to be any appetite to bump up the curve, i.e. it's not about flattening the curve anymore, it is targetting zero infection until an hypothetical vaccine. Very different objective, no debate about it. And no herd immunity.
What data do you think will exist by next year that we don't have now? Doctors have recorded those who died with respiratory distress and other Covid19 symptoms, and that tested positive, as being victims -- that data is here now and shows increased deaths haven't been just to co-morbidities not being treated.

Test results are available to those in power.

The data is around, it's just not public because - I warrant - politicians can't manipulate the story if the public has the full data.
I'm not referring to the future models, I'm referring to the "how many cases have we confirmed per day" charts. (You could also do it with the excess death charts, given enough time for that data to settle out.)

Stuff like https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/ and https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/21/world/coronav....
Sure, but that applies to all the numbers. The average agency developer in a country that shows up with $30 in this survey isn't making that either (India is at $36, and I've heard talk of $15 or lower wages there).

The percentage that is overhead will vary, but only by so much. Otherwise, someone will come along and find a way to undercut your prices and take your business. It's reasonable to assume that if one hourly cost is double another, the developer's pay is higher.

(Not denying someone might find a way to really pull a scam in the short-term, and find a kid they can pay minimum wage to, but that's not a scalable or stable arrangement).

I think people are more upset with the fact that they are unemployed and their states are locked down. The initial request from my governor was "2 weeks to flatten the curve". After two months, and hearing we never reached near capacity, and our local emergency hospital is also winding down, why are we still closed? Now we're told it could until June
To clarify mainstream media in this case is cable news and major newspaper outlets.
This isn't legal advice, but I've only ever heard from lawyers and judges that you should never talk to police for any reason whatsoever.
Which evidence? Are you referring to the "lag" in immune response in the initial stage of infection?
That's not the strict definition. You are using an extremely loose definition. You are missing two key aspects. First, this defintion of species only applies to sexual organisms, and it's about sexual reproduction. Not just any kind of reproduction. Second, the offspring of said sexual reproduction itself must be fertile. So no, in no way can you ever say viruses are human with this definition.
