Millions of rich people will be attempting to relocate, on top of hundreds of millions of poor people. Some will profit from this in the short term, as they do in the wake of disasters and refugee crises today, but the overall trend will almost certainly be downward.

It's not just climate change either. There's a whole host of interconnected ecological crises brewing, and most people with a stake in the global financial system either don't recognize or believe this, choose to ignore it, or have much more pressing problems (e.g., providing for themselves and their families).
Not sure if this counts:

The Puerto Rican tody - a small, colorful bird - has the scientific name of todus mexicanus, even though it's endemic to Puerto Rico (where it's known simply as San Pedrito). Meanwhile, the todus portoricensis is actually a Cuban bird.

René Lesson, a French ornithologist, described the birds in 1838, based on information he received from his brother, who had collected some of the species and erroneously noted their provenance. AFAIK, there have been attempts to correct these entrenched errors, but there has been no success in doing so. To further confuse things, there are Puerto Ricans who will refer to the island bird as the todus portoricensis - perhaps as a way of correcting for the error, or just due to the confusion surrounding it.

It seems like it could still be coming. They might be following the same pattern for SwiftUI (and Combine) that they used with Swift itself:

1. Create and introduce it as proprietary

2. Iterate fast, changing a lot of things to improve it quickly.

3. Stablize

4. Open source it (and continue iterating with an open process)

The advantage to starting proprietary is the initial iteration phase can move move quickly and stay focused on the goals of the people in the controlling group.
Interesting, however he did have a point about prop 13.
How do they know for sure people have not been exposed? I don’t see how you could prove definitively that a person wasn’t. And with many cases being asymptomatic they could have had it long ago and not known.

I am definitely an anti-lockdown person. I wanted to see the numbers for myself so I used data from the CDC's site and the WHO's site. Please check my math and reasoning https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3668979/is-this-an-...

My calculations for the Coronavirus death rate:

<5 0%

5-14 0%

15-24 0%

25-34 .04%

35-44 .12%

45-54 .37%

55-64 .9%

65-74 2.1%

75-84 5.5%

85+ 16.9%

Based on this data I think the lockdown is an absurdly heavy handed approach. Subjective opinion increases -> It's about older voters. In Eric Weinstein's words "they are hoarding well-being on every front" to the point that they will gladly screw over the younger generations.

We need to end this nonsense ASAP.
> 1. There is no need for await. Threads imply sequential execution.

How do you execute doA() and doB() concurrently? In C# you can do something like:

var t1 = doA();
var t2 = doB();
await Task.WhenAll(new[] {t1, t2});
var a = t1.Result;
var b = t2.Result;

EDIT: Ah, never mind, I just saw "You only need to submit if you want to do stuff in parallel and then join" above.
> you don't have more control over scheduling with async/await than you do with Loom's virtual threads. In either case, the code doesn't know if scheduling takes place on a single kernel thread or multiple ones.

You do have that control: the value of having explicitly async functions is that it becomes possible to have non-async functions (just as the value of having explicitly nullable values is that it becomes possible to have non-nullable values, and the value of having explicitly-exception-throwing functions is that it becomes possible to have non-exception-throwing functions). A non-async function is nothing more or less than a function that is guaranteed to execute on a single native thread, whereas an async function might be executed over multiple native threads; in particular after `val x = f()` execution will continue on the same native thread as before, whereas after `val x = await f()` execution might continue on a different native thread.

I hope it works out, but there just seems to be so much opportunity for unforeseen edge cases; something very fundamental and global that every (post-1.2) Java programmer is used to knowing will no longer be true.
Memory can be foggy but the most useful were hosted on university pages or random folders off a random domains or you get a subdomain. I picked the username 'search' which gave me search.batcave.net which worked great until one day they just took over the subdomain for a site wide search. They were confused when I complained.

Sure people hosted on geocities and tripod and they were the biggest and easiest to remember. But quality of a geocities page compared to a mit student page was much lower.
Lihaoyi mostly authors scala libraries. I switched from python to scala and found many of the things that I love about scala ported to python with this library.

Case classes (pretty .toString, structural equality, .copy, and destructuring), Scala 3-esque enums, f-string interpolations before python added them, pattern matching, and _ based lambdas are the highlights for me.

With the imminent second wave coming near the end of the year I'm curious if the lockdown is going to have the adverse effect and effectively prolong the pandemic. We have people sitting at home for weeks which can't be good for the immune system. These people will end up going to work soon as the lockdowns lift and start getting infected. When the following wave does arrive do we have have another lockdown in the hopes of riding it out and ultimately crash the already faltering economy or do we rip the band-aid off? I personally have difficulty seeing lockdowns working with no end in sight for this pandemic while we're still a year and a half away from any kind of vaccine. I think another lockdown will level the economy which will carry its own death toll and I'm curious to see if governments across the world will have the guts to call it yet again.
When YouTube's Content ID system is working as intended, people will not make any money off of their "no copyright intended" copies. Whoever owns the original work will (if they allow it).

Of course Content ID doesn't always work as intended, especially for works that are owned by ordinary people and not the MAFIAA. But I think the basic idea is sound and hope that it becomes the norm. As you said, sharing is human nature. Sharing should be okay as long as both money and credit go where they should.
"I’m betting that the U.S. economy will not stay depressed for 10-20 years, which seems like a pretty good bet."

I'm with you on this one, but it also feels like there's no other choice. Where else can you get high liquidity, with good returns, and a government ready to spring into action if the market goes down too much? European and Japanese markets generally have lower returns. Emerging markets are iffy. Bonds don't yield as much as equities.

It's like "I'm gonna take a bet that I'm going to keep working a 9-5 job". Most people have no other real choice.

You have no choice but to invest in a mix of US equities and bonds to be able to retire in a sane timeline.
>> The stock market is not the economy, as we can tell today.

This is spot on. There are a lot of regulatory forces which help to prop up the stock market artificially. It's hard to imagine that pro-corporation regulations can go much further without severely damaging the underlying economy on which the stock market depends.
That code and setting belongs in an extension.
I love C++17 fold expression, but...

Local consts are not particularly useful, especially for things like ints. Compilers know it's const, and a reader doesn't need to worry about it in a local scope.

width, height usually come in pairs, so putting them on the same line is usual.

nPixels and nBytes are not used more than once so they are not useful abstractions, and the pattern of `width * height * bytes_per_pixel` is so common that there is no ambiguity about what it does.

The idx lambda is probably a distracting abstraction which requires the reader to think of it in a different context than the immediate what pixel goes to where. Again, the pixel moving pattern in the right is so common it's familiar to most people working in similar areas, and in terms of error-prone both are not better than the other.
Not immunity but a much better immune response, assuming they are healthy.
The key to understanding techniques based on templates is to realize that C++ templates are just another programming language that (a) is functional, (b) is interpreted at compile time, and (c) where values are C++ types.

Reputation is just a derivative on people. Just likes options price risk on the stocks and commodities, reputation prices risk of the person. academia is kind of like a rating agency on people’s reputations. Rating agencies can misprice risk like anyone else but only in retrospect.
Presumably all of the normal reasons except for tourism. Imagine you just got a new job a thousand miles away. Imagine you're a 25-year-old who lost their job and need to fly cross country to stay with family. Imagine you're a regional inspector for a food production company and you need to get from Minneapolis to Cincinnati. Imagine your grandma is dying a few states over and you want to be by her side.

It shouldn't be hard to imagine a vast number of different reasons that a person might want to fly during this pandemic.

This is a clever trick (using mousedown to trigger a click), but breaks drag & dropping links, drag & dropping links to new tabs.
and there is also a thing I tend to do: If I notice I pressed the mouse button down on the wrong link, I move the cursor away from that link and let the button go up on the correct or in free space, so the browser doesn't navigate (not sure how common this behaviour is, though)

I'm thinking of the need to have blocks wrapping expressions in types [1]:

const X: usize = 7;

let x: RectangularArray<i32, 2, 4>;
let y: RectangularArray<i32, X, {2 * 2}>;

Simple cases are fine, but i suspect a lot of real-world use of const generics are going to require blocks.

AIUI, this is only because <> was chosen as the container for type arguments, and > is also a legal operator in expressions. So, for example, if Rust had used Scala-esque [] for type arguments, this would not be a problem.

"no abstract frills attached" I can't tell what you think a frill is, but I can't square that statement with the rest of your post, and with the OP. Higher-level constructs might require language features like template metaprogramming, or a level of indirection. There are a few ways in which you can have "the same sort of code".
The UK BAME population is largely located in a couple of Large more densely populated cities. Whereas the country as a whole is around 87% white, London has areas with < 50% white people, for example Newham/Straford is 70% non white[1].

Surely the geographical relationship between dense cities and their inhabitants demographics is more than enough to explain it.

It's easy to criticize now that we have some good data. In my humble opinion, lockdowns were decided in Europe because governments started to plan for the worse since China's data was definitely not trustable anymore.
San Francisco real estate going to collapse: Angel investor Calacanis
Did anyone else think that their water wasn't very good? It seemed very thick.
I'm in NYC and our biggest problem here is that our dumbass mayor and governor waited at least a week too late to shut everything down. If we'd locked down sooner we'd have had a lot fewer deaths and would be much further along the road of reopening already. One week on the front end is worth many weeks on the back end when you're talking exponential growth.
sure, but the ship might suddenly become worth less as a working vessel in the absence of a functioning cruise line to operate it. my guess is that a operating a single cruise ship is considerably less profitable than each ship in an n-ship fleet.
Also worth noting that Europe in general is really far north compared to the US. Spain is on the same latitude more or less as NYC.
> And nothing about the pandemic made the houses themselves more or less valuable

Supply and demand. If people are moving out of Manhattan (and they are), then demand went down and the house is less valuable. If people have lost their job and can't afford mortgage and sell their home and move into a rental apartment, supply for homes increased and the house is less valuable.
I’m specifically talking about a waste of a resource, in this case, the tent that was discarded after one use.
There is definitely disagreement in C# as to the proper usage of var.
That same reductionist argument can also be applied to stocks. Share ownership doesn't generate value in and of itself either.

You're saying that businesses generate value. No disagreement from me there.

But then you're saying that stocks are the only way to share the value that businesses create. That's where you lose me. Selling shares is not the only way for a company to raise funds to operate. Companies can also sell bonds or take out loans (i.e. cash). Your argument that stocks are inherently more valuable would only make sense if stocks were the only way to invest in a company.
I didn’t realise you were allowed to travel to do things like see a relative even if they’re dying, but I guess all countries are doing this differently.

Everything on a thread always executes on the same thread, whether or not it's virtual; that's an invariant of threads. You cannot observe (unless it's a bug on our part or you're doing something complicated and deliberate) that, when running on a virtual thread, you're actually running on multiple native threads any more than you can observe moving between processors; if you could, that would indeed be a problem. The JDK hides the native thread the same way the native thread hides the processor.

That async/await allows this implementation detail to leak is not a feature, it's a bug. It forces a syntactic distinction without a semantic difference (well, it introduces a semantic difference as a bad side effect of a technical decision -- the semantic difference is that you can observe the current thread changing underneath you, which, in turn, makes the syntactic difference beneficial; in other words, it's a syntactic "solution" to a self-imposed, avoidable problem).
> coronavirus is a family of viruses that make up the common cold

Wrong. There are 200+ strains of various viruses that are all lumped together as the "common cold" only 4 of which are coronaviruses. The vast majority of common colds are not coronaviruses.
I don't know much about macros and it revived my interest for this topic, thanks. I wonder if it could be used to embed SQL statements directly in Python code? (not sure it would be a good idea, but it would make for an interesting experiment maybe).

Broadly, that's not true. The correctness benefits of type safety could also be provided by discipline alone.
Didn’t think of drag and dropping links to new tabs! Yeah, that’s a bit of a sad regression.

The two other use cases you mention aren’t common at all though.
I'd also say that using auto makes your code easier to read, especially when you are the user of generic code. Looping through a vector where you need to keep track of the iterator, for example.

for(auto iter = vec.begin(); iter!=vec.end(); iter++)
for(std::vector<project_namespace::class_name>::iterator iter = vec.begin(); iter!=vec.end(); iter++)

I was surprised to hear that figure! I did my own research and it appears to be correct (in fact, it's greater than 2x in recent years). However, that ratio ignores vehicle miles driven. Once you account for that, the comparative ratio is slightly lower:

https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/gende...

> The number of driver fatal crash involvements per 100 million miles driven in 2017 was 62 percent higher for males (2.1 per 100 million miles traveled) than for females (1.3 per 100 million miles traveled). Rates were substantially higher for males than for females ages 16-29, but were only slightly higher for ages 30 and older. The gender difference was largest among drivers ages 20-29.

So in some sense the real figure is 1.62x for men as women per mile driven, although (1) men driving more miles is still a real thing and as a result more men die, and (2) I don't know to what extent super-distance drivers (like commercial truck drivers, who skew heavily male) are putting their finger on the scale.

If you ignore teenagers, that difference comes out to 1.59x; and leaving out persons <30, 1.46x. Still much higher than 1.0.

As implemented, we do not change the superficial python syntax. That has a number of advantages around compatibility, but it means embedding raw SQL outside string literals isn’t possible.

There is non-anectodal evidence. In Hamburg/Germany they conducted more than 190 autopsies and found a surprising number of thrombosis. About 30% of the patients who dies with COVID-19 may have actually died from lung embolism.
The quirk of the UK system is that private insurance companies have no legal or moral obligation to cover anything as you will always be able to fall back to the NHS. So getting cover than includes preexisting conditions or severe long term illness (e.g. MS) is very expensive and rarely negotiated by employers except in firms who can afford to do it.

Disclaimer: not an immunologist, no formal post secondary biological education, my thoughts on this are likely worthless.

I had the same question when it all started: how exposure to other coronaviruses affects the response to SARS-Cov-2, and what does it mean for people with different history of exposures.

One hypothesis was that older people have a higher probability of dying because their immune system does not produce antibodies fast enough to keep up with the virus. The other one was the complete opposite: that due to the long history of exposures to other coronaviruses they have too much of a response and cytokine storm as a result but that does not seem to be the case.
