Installing updates during a shutdown or restart is a recent phenomenon in the lifetime of the Windows NT family. Windows XP post-SP2, if memory serves, attempted to offer-up updates via the Explorer shutdown/restart/logoff dialog. Windows 8 (again, if memory serves) was the first version that was more "militant" about forcing update installation. Windows 7 was the last of the client-oriented versions of Windows that permitted you to (easily) defer updates indefinitely.
What do you mean by "hidden analogy"? JAMstack is for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup.
> The stupid preinstalled games and apps that fill your start screen upon your first boot.

While I agree that this is advertising, note that they're not really preinstalled. Those game icons will download and install the app on first click.
That makes sense because thats how film critic reviews work.
LOL I just mean like N integrations that work with M other integrations produces a ton of use cases (“Zaps”) that capture search terms.
No, on the contrary. Germany has about 4 times as many ICU units as France, Italy or the UK. That's why we had so low fatality numbers, because hospitals never even got significantly above 50% capacity.
Either or. I suspect the aeronautical engineers would be better people to ask than epidemiologists if it turns out the virus is mainly transported through the air. Turbulence and control thereof would be the most important factors.

But these are exactly the sorts of things that shouldn't still be open for discussion after 4 months and global lockdowns. Even among the general public.

In my experience, this is completely wrong. I always strain more to read gray text on white background, no exception. I really wish this trend stops.

A darker background, on the other hand, can be helpful in some situations.

Here’s a good recent RadioLab episode with the guy who calculated the current $10m figure.

I thought for sure I was going to find Elastic Beanstalk. It's great when it works, but when it doesn't, the list of ways it makes life hell is a long one.

Elasticache though? Pricey, but I recently got an alert at 1am that one of my core services was down and it was because Redis was out of memory. With Elasticache I doubled the size of the instance in place from my phone so I could go back to sleep. Fixed the key leak in the am and returned to the original instance size.
You can keep Spotlight on the lock screen. You have to turn on the "Require Ctrl-Alt-Del" option though.
In fact, that's clarified in the very next sentence of the article.
Sad to see this... :( Digital Ocean is still my favorite Cloud Provider. The managed Redis/Postgres/MySql were the killer feature. The whole design brings in refreshing simplicity compared to AWS. Linode has similar prices but lack the managed databases is show stopper.
Also, their numbers, cases as well as R factor, show a strong weekly periodicity. Leading to hilarious press conferences on wednesdays where the spread panic because the cases from the weekend have finally been passed through bureaucracy... Only to announce improving case numbers on fridays. Their R calculation uses a 4day sliding window, so the increase is just the usual wednesday I guess.

It is not tunnel vision when the problem they're tackling is literally stuck in a tunnel. Bigger and bigger colliders are the only direct way we have to study high energy phenomena. It's not that physicists are lazy, it's that the problems they're studying are hard.

I'm also seeing a lot resentment for the price tag of colliders in this thread. My personal opinion is that we shouldn't build a new one, but I'll point out that colliders are incredibly cost efficient.

The whole LHC (which has been running and providing jobs to people for 12 years) costs a similar amount as just two B-2 bombers. The US owns like 20 of those and that money went somewhere into huge defense contractors profits as opposed to knowledge and tech which is now accessible to the whole world.

You might not know this, but a lot of the technology developed during the construction of the LHC is now used to improve medical imaging and power transmission to name a few applications. These all have a direct impact on the quality of our every day life. That fancy PET scan you received to diagnose your cancer was literally funded in part by the LHC.

This is just one data point so far, but with the party atmosphere that I see going on here at day and night, and school openings coming soon, I am pretty convinced personally that this will escalate quickly.

I've rarely been more unhappy about the state of our politics. There was a lot of public discussion about easing the lockdown and regions randomly made their own decisions, affecting people's behavior even where no decision had been made yet and forcing Merkels hand in the end, who was much more in favor of playing it safe.

We were on course to get the level of containment and traceability that several Asian countries have achieved, if we had only waited a little longer, maybe just a few weeks.

To me it seems we might be letting the economy run itself into the ground. I hope I am wrong.
Yes, but the traditional coalitions are crumbling. Both the left and the right have deep internal divisions. That's an opportunity for anyone who can put together a new coalition that crosses the divide.
I still don't get why multiple dispatch was chosen over having seperate functions with typed arguments. It just seems to add complexity with limited benefit.

An oldie, but a weirdie.
Here are some quotes from the article:

"Carlo was betting stacks of orange chips we called “pumpkins,” up to $10,000 per hand."

"Our Big Players naturally drew attention with their wagers in the thousands."

No I didn't read every single story about this ever just the one linked. And yes it is a snap judgement from what I know that it is complete fiction. That doesn't sound like small casino action to me. Also, please let me know about the casino that allows 10k bets mid shoe entry.... I've never seen one.

If this was a story written about some struggling grad students that made small amounts of money on small action at small casinos as you claim on your throw-away account I would not have posted what I posted. But alas this thread is about the article posted and I stand by my claim that it is almost certainly untrue from what is contained in it. I don't need to know the entire history to decide that. The article contains information that is at best highly embellished.
This map [1] shows intensive care beds utilization is at 60% of capacity on average in Germany currently. In my local hospital they are starting to do elective treatments again, but are required to hold free 20% of regular beds, 25% of intensive care beds and have to be able to free up further 20% of beds within 72 hours if necessary. They are doing a PCR test for every patient admitted to the hospital (since April 6) and starting from Monday will test every admitted patient three times every week.

While I agree that a home office is very good, saying that it's as simple as just having a home office isn't always enough. It's downplaying the issue.

For instance having a set schedule, regular breaks, getting fresh air and filling the social need is not something that comes naturally to everyone or that a home office magically solve.
Well given the arbitrary nature of many of the closing demands it can get very frustrating regardless of your business size.

I do know in a recent meeting we have been told two employees have died world wide out of over fifty thousand yet across the world, if not just in the US, where people who work can work is not consistent nor are the rules consistent.
There was a recent technical write-up about something similar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22823070
Sure. Getting R below 1.0 will, over time, lead to eradication. Infection rates have/had already fallen by about 85% from the peak in about 30 days, or one month. Plug it in:

6000 (peak daily infections) * (1 - 0.85)^Months, and you’d get to <1 daily infections within five months.

And, of course, having already reduced cases by 85% makes tracing the remaining cases far easier. That, plus improvements in understanding the dynamics of the virus and all the countermeasures, now allows for a “budget” so-to-speak, to be spent on some loosening of restrictions and adding whatever is necessary to keep re-introductions at bay.
I'm also from Italy and you know perfectly well that nobody even aware of the existence of Scheme dialects would be confused by this.
Stanislaw Lem is a brilliant writer. It is unfortunate that the article tells about him through the lens of the Golden Age and modern progressive views, which hardly relate to him.

As many other authors behind the Iron Curtain, he was largely isolated from the contemporary Western cultural influence. His biography and the vibrant Polish surrealism scene would give a much better background.
R_0 is always above 1, or the virus wouldn't even exist in the first place. You mean R_eff
There was a tradition of such self-deprecating names for lisp dialects specifically -- an early system called PLANNER had an offshoot which was named CONNIVER, and SCHEME itself was another branch off this tree (originally named SCHEMER, and truncated because the MIT AI lab's homebrew ITS timesharing system limited filenames to six characters). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language)
Yep but the whole point is that it's not 100% the way it is with the right genetic conditions for disorders like Huntington's Disease or Down Syndrome.

Looking at the ADHD example, aside from the genes, consider what else is consistent: same gestational environment (mother's food, air, water, emotions, microbiome), possibly the same living environment in early life (I'm not clear on how many of these twins were separated, and if so, at what age), but even if they were separated, they're still living in the same time in history, likely the same city/country, likely at a similar socioeconomic level, they have the same appearance/height (so people respond to them similarly) and if they were separated, both experiencing trauma of separation (both from a sibling, and one or both from parents).

So there's a whole lot going on that can explain the high heritability figure.

But even if you disregard all of that, you still have to explain the other (at least) 20-25%.

“The first issue this causes is acting as a limited oracle .. potentially operating as a partial oracle”

> This really keeps me up at night.

Why? You're pretty close to the right answer:

> are we instead an uninterrupted instance of a thinking process?

No, for the reasons you described. What we are is thinking-processes with a coherent series of more-or-less-uninterrupted links to the past. When you undergo general anesthesia you wake up as the same person because you can remember who you were before anesthesia, and you feel and act like that person.

The interesting case is not anesthesia (or sleep) but amnesia and traumatic brain injury or mental illness that changes your personality.
Math and humans modeled the Higgs before technology “found it”

IMO like with space ships this is just not a useful engineering endeavor in general

We probably could iterate on engineering AI and nanotechnology so future people could programmatically build specific machines

But let’s go on a whim and prematurely optimize a machine to maybe produce new insights at scale that, unlike with the Higgs, we’re still trying to find consensus mathematics to define

We’re putting the cart before the horse this time and the fact the LHC hasn’t produced much else even with all the mathy theories has shown on paper we’re so off the mark a giant new machine would be built just to titillate a generation that is addicted to being titillated

Maybe we could just get our own imaginations back for a bit before we keep following the imaginings of yesterday

Not sure if you’ve noticed but pandemic life is making building such a thing a non-starter. How do you design, plan, and assemble such a thing when groups of people have to work on a basement?
This is the reason I like your site. It not only drags my son into coding (which neither the school nor me to a certain extend could not) but also since he was admitted as a helper (or something like that) he is also learning other skills.

The downside is that this competes with school (thanks god he is very good so that's fine-ish)

The upside is that it is quarantine in France so I can manage this.

Thanks for all of that!
You should use Cognito as a quick way to provide SAML/OAuth to a lot of apps, but it's not going to solve all your authentication woes. Nothing does (not even Auth0).

You should use CloudFormation if it's there and you're just trying to stand something up quickly. Shell scripts with AWS CLI works too. For more robust long term stuff, use Terraform, Pulumi, or custom Boto3 code. The point is to just start using the Infrastructure as Code pattern early, not to make it perfect. Terraform is surprisingly painful after a while, but it's easier to standardize your organization on large-scale. There's no great solutions in this space.

You should absolutely throw money at ElastiCache to quickly scale up and down a cache. If you're not a very experienced sysadmin (and fuck the entire tech industry for making that term a dirty word - if you are not experienced at administrating systems) you'll be spending unnecessary time and energy to stand up and maintain it. Your caching should ideally just be in your service and scaling your services themselves should be sufficient, but whatever, Redis wasn't invented for people who write good code.

> But, not all data/records/events should go into Kinesis

Not all of anything should go into anything. Use it if it's convenient.

Lambda is very useful for batch jobs and CloudWatch-triggered maintenance tasks. I wouldn't rely on it for anything more than that; I would rather just deploy the same code to a Fargate Spot Instance and not deal with all of Lambda's bullshit.
I think it is fascinating that there seems to be huge differences between the amount of ads seen. Not being signed in to Microsoft account probably is the single biggest factor, followed by having Pro edition and being located in EU instead of US. And of course not having an OEM edition. Obviously I opt-outed everything during installation, but I don't remember going through any special hoops in at any stage.

While I can't say that I haven't seen any ads, they have been singular events (I think at least one for O365, OneDrive, and Edge, maybe something else too) instead of any sort of constant stream. Of course it is valid to argue that any ads, however few, are too many, and I don't disagree. But I definitely do not remember seeing any third-party ads in my Windows 10 and I think that is pretty important distinction.

But as someone who has become extremely wary of installing any mobile apps due the infestation of ads there, I feel my desktop to still be pretty decent oasis against ads.
Ok, that's fair. I interpreted "we" from moduspol as "we as a society" but I agree that the German numbers are more relevant here.

(Incidentally, using traffic death numbers as a baseline for a rate of fatalities we should accept is bad anyway because those numbers are also higher than we should tolerate, IMO.)
Looking at their nozzles, the boosters also appear to be SRBs. That's a real rookie mistake. Nobody has dared launch humans in a capsule atop SRBs. The general consensus is that, in an emergency, deploying a parachute under a hail of burning solid rocket fuel will not end well.
Not overestimating the ease at which one can "make it", but the infrastructure exists to make it. That is lacking for other forms of media, which is why people aren't doing them anymore.
We accept it by allowing cars to be driven. That we separately take other steps to lessen the number does not negate the fact that we still accept it.

And it's the same thing with COVID-19. We can't quarantine everyone indefinitely, this is unlikely to end without us reaching herd immunity, and the quarantine itself causes non-negligible suffering. We have to approach this rationally.

Yes, Next.js is "hybrid" framework for React. It allow you to incrementally adopt React, as well as evolve your application over time. Static pages, server-rendered, serverless functions––all within the same project.

For larger React projects, it's impractical to use the same rendering strategy for every page. Your marketing page can be static and your dashboard can be client-side rendered.
I feel like this article has a rather abrupt ending. Is there another resource that covers Racket's early history?
It won't if we reach herd immunity, which is when this will end regardless of containment attempts.
Yeah, but it is hardly different than the "curl | sh" fashion I guess.

I don't personally find it off-putting. Op made some great points. and they deserve to be addressed on their merits, not on their tone.
On the checkout experience front, I notice that's been changing lately, especially with Shopify shopfronts. (e.g. jrwatkins.com)

The experience is even more frictionless than Amazon's, especially on a mobile device that supports mobile payments. With Apple Pay, the checkout process is literally just clicking the checkout button, then scanning your face/thumbprint, and done. No account creation, no credit card number is sent (token), address/email etc. are filled out transparently.

Kind of similar to the HotelTonight experience where you're able to book a hotel in less than 3 minutes.
It is evil to assume everyone else is evil and the only difference between people is those who have been caught doing evil things and those who are hiding it well. It assumes there are no well-intentioned people or people who wouldn't feel the need to lie.
For real! Where did all those DBAs go??
Or 60,000,000 Bells.
This is just one of many questions. Right now even with the best treatment, 1% of people die.

Your statement implies that if we could guarantee hospitals would never get overwhelmed we would happily let this wash over the whole population and kill 1% of us. That should be avoided (and would also hurt the economy just like the lockdown is, it’s not an either/or choice).
The question still stands if insider jokes are an efficient source of inspiration for naming your work.

It's a joke.
One, we don't know that he submitted this to HR. Two, even if he did, they had no obligation to reply, let alone within a month. Three, we do not know that they didn't reply. Four, whether or not they did, it was his decision to publish broadly; he is responsible for his own actions. Five, after he received negative feedback, he just adjusted it slightly and kept going (and in fact kept going until he dropped this suit.). And six, he knew or should have known that an explicitly political attack on Google's culture and D&I practices was not the average thing you might pass along for feedback.

He wanted a big reaction. He got it. He didn't get the outcome he wanted, but that was never his to control.
My perception is that this is closer to the direction the field has been moving for the last half decade or so. Pushing the "energy frontier" was needed to experimentally find the higs and test supersymmetric theories. The higs was measured, and literally hundreds of proposed theories and particles, including very well-liked theories, have been eliminated. This is a big success.

However, it turns out that some of the same physics of extremely high energy scales is also accessible through extremely high precision/low background experiments like the many neutrinoless double beta decay searches, or the rapidly growing field of neutrino experiments.

In my oppinion, there is still compelling need for an accelerator specialized in colliding electrons with ions at lower energy than at the LHC. The nuclear physics community has been after this for some time now, and it looks like it will be built at Brookhaven. Now that FRIB is almost finished, this will probably be the big budget nuclear physics project for the next 5 years or so.
Yes, because if the problem was expressed purely formally from the start, there could not possibly be any controversy. The appeal of Monty Hall is precisely this interplay of natural and formal language.
The short answer is that computers with CPUs made from 7400 series TTL existed, but they weren't "micro".
Windows 7 regularly wanted to force me to update on shutdown. I remember it well, because at the time, I was doing my first startup and had a train to catch in the evening, so I regularly had to hit the power because the train wasn't going to wait for Windows to update. It infuriated me so much.
It's not the same as a CDN.

"Static Hoisting" is pushing data to the edge and replicating it ahead of time. Legacy CDNs are just in time. The approach discussed in this article has a performance and availability advantage.
As bystander I love the work you guys are doing, in a way it feels like Dylan was reborn and found a place in scientific computing.
> But that doesn't mean you'll find success, especially with that attitude.

Lol. You're the one with the negative attitude. You don't know anything about my model and you're just playing devil's advocate. I never claimed it would be successful, I just said it was pretty decent and was worth exploring.

You're being a serious negative nancy. I don't need to change your opinion, and I don't need to prove you wrong, because your statements are empty and deflective and there is no real substance or argument other than "it won't work because I can't imagine a platform other than the ones I have already seen".

And ironically you say my words are meaningless. I've been conservative with my speech, making no hard claims, and you're throwing out whatever spice you can think of. I'm talking from a position reached by years of research, and you're talking straight from your ass.

You can continue to be this way, it's not in my interest to convert you or explain my model any further. Now I suggest you end this over-critical tirade before you cross the line of civility and I have to report you. Good bye.
