A bunch of people in my office got sick about two weeks after chinese new year returnees returned to the office. A few people got very, very sick, unlike any kind of flu they'd had before and a bunch of the rest got a sort of dry cough.

On a whim, I decided to go get the abbott antibody test to see if it was Covid-19, because it sure seemed like it might have been. But no, negative.
If there’s no compensating benefit that necessarily requires inflation, why would I (as a rational self-interested person) ever prefer to keep any of my holdings in an inflationary asset? If you can come up with a great inflationary payment system, someone should just copy it but make it deflationary, and it’s instantly better. (Unless there is actually some killer feature that requires inflation.)
That signature looks a little confused - you're saying "Monad" but you're talking about the specific case of Some and Maybe. The interface looks something like:

interface Monad<F<?>> {
fun flatMap<A, B>(argument: F<A>, function: A -> F<B>): F<B>
// also need pure/point here but ignore that for now
}

and then a specific implementation for e.g. Option looks like

singleton OptionMonad implements Monad<Option>
override fun flatMap<A, B>(argument: Option<A>, function: A -> Option<B>): Option<B> =
when(argument) {
is Some -> function(argument.value)
is None -> None
}

whereas you have implementations for other types in terms of those specific types too:

singleton FutureMonad implements Monad<Future> {
override fun flatMap<A, B>(argument: Future<A>, function: A -> Future<B>): Future<B> = ...
}

The tricky part is that the type parameter F is itself a parameterised type, so it's a slightly higher level of abstraction than most interfaces (and one that most languages don't support).
I presume they are using docker swarm in this instance.
Noncompetes writ large are terrible policy. However, I do think at a given level of seniority/responsibility, they’re reasonable, subject to the usual limitations of time and place. He worked for AWS for ~18 months and then shopped himself to a direct competitor.
A) Some level of residual radiation or lack of complex chemicals might have delayed life ~2 billion years.

B) Proto-life might indeed have evolved 2 billion earlier than earth and have been brought to earth by asteroids. Which is to say it took ~2 billion years for a primordial soup to become single-celled organisms (with viruses being an intermediate stage).

C) If life evolves "everywhere", then the odds are we are "typical life" (axiom of mediocrity), so the odds are for whatever reason life was ~2 billion later than some estimates.
DNS round-robin sends inbound to 2 haproxy servers, which proxy traffic on to the rest of the cluster. Scaling means "add another box, install your app, add haproxy entry". Service discovery is just an internal-facing haproxy front. If you must have "volumes from cloud storage", you use NFS (but if you can help it, you don't do that). Updates, restarts (including zero-downtime courtesy of draining the node out of haproxy), etc. are all quite doable with SSH and shell scripts. You run an actual monitoring system, because it's not like k8s could monitor server hardware anyways. Likewise, syslog is not exactly novel. I... don't understand why you're port forwarding? Either run on the dev cluster or your laptop.

So yes, you'd need a handful of different systems, but "k8s" is hardly a single system once you have to actually manage it, and most of the parts are simpler.
My cousin feels pain or discomfort but only a little. This almost affected her when she gave birth because her water had broken but she didn’t feel any contractions at all until it was almost too late. Luckily she got to the hospital in time and her son was born perfectly normal but it was a bit harrowing.

More interestingly, her son inherited this. He doesn’t feel pain the same way normal people do. Once her son broke his wrist and had to go to the hospital. He wasn’t in pain, but I think they had to pull on the arm to put it back in place properly (is this called traction?). The doctor was putting in all his effort to separate the wrist from the arm, and the dad almost fainted because it looked so gruesome but all the son looked like was mildly discomforted from the tension. The doctor was apparently shocked at how little pain he felt.

The son also pulled out all his teeth on his own, as they got loose. He said it bothered him to have loose teeth, but the act of pulling them out didn’t bother him at all.
I strongly suspect that chronic pain directly reduces fitness by far more than it indirectly (through reminders) might increase it. However, as long as the effects are part of a highly conserved subsystem and also remain mild enough relative to the fraction of the population that experiences them, then there's a good chance they won't be meaningfully selected against.
This comment is not very helpful. Many scientists are doing their best to improve the world by publishing their research to the public. They are doing so, at least in CS, at a substantial pay cut compared to industry.

You can see the efficacy of modern science by the real and impactful discoveries in machine learning and related fields made over the last 10-15 years.
The NeurIPS exemption isn't specific to arxiv: "The existence of non-anonymous preprints (on arXiv, social media, websites, etc.) will not result in rejection" People can post anywhere. Most people don't. I don't check carefully, and as I reviewer I explicitly don't look, but when I do see a preprint it's rarely any different from the submitted version. People do stake out territory, but it's more like they do that with shitty papers that no one wants to accept but they want to "own" some phrase that might be popular in the future. The NLP community is very unhappy about this in particular.

> I just wanted to point out that this does vary a little bit. RSS was double blind this year but ICRA was single blind last I checked.

It has been this way for a few years now. RSS & CoRL are double blind, ICRA and IROS are single-blind. I can't think of the last time I submitted to an ML, AI, NLP, or vision conference that wasn't double blind. It's sort of a strange robotics thing :)

> Compare this with investing the whole amount into a local bakery. The utility difference is dramatic.

I do not agree that the utility difference is dramatic. The utility difference is closely proportional to the difference on expected returns.

I don't have familiarity with speech-to-text but wouldn't it be possible to weight words based on their probability in this application to help resolve this. For example, suspect is probably a low frequency word in normal speech but very high in radio chatter.

Surely they could revert it back to the previous email account though?

Possibly after you provide some kind of validation like the last few digits of credit card tied to that account or something?
Yup. When I was a recruiter, everyone was fully aware that the second we told our bosses we were taking another position was the second we would be asked to say our goodbyes and leave the premises. They definitely did not want us touching any system that contained details of clients or consultants.

17 years later, I've since been back to that office several times to visit friends without objection.
I'd say it the other way; k8s has to do all the things that another management system would have to do, but sufficiently tied together that you can't ease into it as needed.
Follow the Force
Been to a major one, and a very, very high percentage of the people there wore masks, enough that it was consistently odd to see people without them. Also people trying as much as possible to keep a little space between each other. Who wasn't wearing masks, consistently? White male police (the National Guard was all masked). Doubt me if you want. Obviously a rhetorical "all" and very easy to find photographic counterexamples. But certainly most.
I came across this while digging for early stories on how Google employees chose a Linux distribution to champion and get behind.

There are some amazing feats of hackery embedded in this slide deck (notably, they converted .rpm packages to the .deb package format, so that they could migrate dependencies separately from the base OS), so I thought it’d be fun to share! It’s a sysadmin nightmare that they somehow made in to great fun, by treating it as an engineering problem.

If you have your own links to similar varieties of lore, I hope you’ll share them in the comments!
Your website is really cool and useful, and I already used it for several times in the past 1 year, I think I knew it from a Show HN post.

Btw, I hope you can add more combine elements of LOGO, yeah, current combos are already amazing!
> With the JS ecosystem, you have rapidly changing Web APIs and standards, varying degrees of browser support and Node versions. And no real "central authority" to guide things in a specific direction.

All of these (except Node versions) are constraints of the original problem domain: running user interface code in a browser. These are unavoidable for client-side Javascript.

But these are not constraints of server-side or command line code, so it's absurd to write server-side code under these constraints. Server-side JavaScript should not exist. Command line utilities written in Javascript should not exist.

New Zealand ordered extra doses early in the season this year as someone predicted that this year would be rough. This is looking rather wise. And when combined with yesterday's eradication of covid, things look rather brighter than seemed possible.

I heard a handful of first hand accounts of weird, extra-severe flu-like illnesses from coworkers/friends over last 9 months, but what gets me is that mortality anomalies only started in what, late Feb? That's what I can't square away with the anecdotes.

That's a pretty standard libertarian viewpoint:

The problem with Google is that it will always assume that you didn't mean what you asked, and when you did actually mean exactly what you said this gets old really fast.

Yes, the public should be the main stakeholder if public is funding the project. The problem is, it takes an expert to judge the work of another expert. Wise people outside the local academia should represent the public in such things. Maybe one way is to hire and pay well some foreign professors to do the adversarial oversight/evaluation of our local science workforce. For example, a renowned German scientist hired and payed by French government for 5 years to criticize and oversee funding of French scientists close to his area of expertise. The system has to be more adversarial to weed out/defund the bad activities.

Hiding money in the mattress has no net effect on the number of jobs or businesses or innovation. I used to have the same reservations as you - the problem is that I was stuck on a local Keynesian/“Newtonian” view of the problem which makes it hard to predict equilibrium states. You need to switch to a “Lagrangian” view where you don’t have to manually step through all the decomposed effects of a marginal change in the money supply. A key realization is that humanity’s labor capacity at any instant is 100% independent of the number of dollars.

You can do both. Iceland isolated their older population quite well.
While I think there is plenty of people not learning the pasts problems, I think it's unfair to say it's all laziness and way over complicated. Business solutions are hard, as they're designed by people through a game of telephone until you get to the engineer intended to make it. Maybe the company put the burden on a junior engineer to save money. Should they tell their boss they need to spend a couple months researching? Okay so the company hired a senior engineer, who has been using X tech for 15 years that has seen a large decline in usage. Senior builds product, but gets a better offer and leaves? Who now maintains this? Hiring for X tech is hard, you bring someone on to learn it but they kinda lied at how much they knew and since no one in your org knew much about it they passed through. Now they're making a mess of the beautiful architecture the senior laid out.

Stop blaming this all on junior programmers and javascript. That's just saying those damn kids and their lack of respect for their elders is what's causing it. Truth is this is a relatively young industry, that's being used in just about every single aspect of life, where the cost to make a change is minimal, where the ability to learn is one of the most accessible skills, where business demands change on a dime.

Stop your own arrogance and laziness in understanding the landscape and the people in it.
I think we’ll see the insurance market transform in a similar way that we’ve seen the financial services market transform. Although, it will go in slow motion, since the gains in insurance aren’t as immediately-accruing as they were in equity and credit trading.

You’ll see the same kind of jobs that exist today, but they will be smaller in number, and way less paper-oriented.
Speaking of which, does anyone know the _frequencies_ for police scanners in Seattle? I have an SDR box, but Googling yields nothing of value.
Peer review is much older than that. It dates back to the 18th century.
Mortality isn't everything. You don't seem to be taking into account the suffering of people who survive -- but are often very sick for quite a long time, and may never fully recover -- and the extra anxiety caused by an unchecked deadly pandemic. (Or if you are, you don't seem to think it is very significant?) In this comment you also seem to ignore that the trade-off isn't just about increasing your risk, but everyone's, including the people you care about -- though I think you acknowledge it in another reply.

Even if I got lucky enough that nobody close to me died and I suffered no permanent damage myself, personally I would feel immense anxiety knowing that the virus was likely to affect many of the people I care about (and also that I had limited but non-zero control over this, so I could neither try to ignore it nor bring the odds down far enough to feel optimistic), watching some of them suffer and wondering whether they would make it, possibly suffering myself and wondering how bad it would get and how fully I would recover, and so on. That's aside from the effect of empathising with strangers suffering and dying at a much higher rate than usual, too.

(I'm in Australia, where so far our measures have kept the infection rate very low. Maybe you feel like you've experienced something closer to the worst of both worlds?)
I mean, I’m far from perfect - the trick has always been to KISS. I don’t use istio, it’s absolute overkill for my needs. I use nginx-ingress because it fits the bill, I know nginx as do enough other people that they could exec into a pod to debug it. I don’t run stateful applications that aren’t prepared to have servers randomly vanishing because it take a LOT of work to get these running in-cluster. I don’t use public helm charts because they often suck and making your own container is something you can do quickly if you were able to deploy the software on a traditional server. Every choice I make is done with the day 2 operations in mind, not what is hot, what gets initially deployed fastest - but what makes it so I can touch the thing as frequently as possible.

PCGW is a great example - installing a new Mediawiki extension, changing a config file, upgrading to a newer MW release is just updating a file or a git submodule and committing. I don’t get paid thousands a month to manage the site for the owner, so I make my time spent as efficient as can be done.
This reads like "we're behind, not catching up, not making money, and really need an excuse to drop this" to me, but I might just be too cynical.
if it wasn't so serious, some of them would be are sort of entertaining.
The perception seems to be that unions hurt well performing employees more than they help. Non-competes are perceived as hurting well performing employees. Why is it surprising that the same group, which perceives itself as well performing employees, would oppose both?

I'm currently going through this but the alternative is just too painful, I've tried nomad, Deb packages, etc but the tooling around all this is basically build-your-own vs kubernetes which has tooling for a lot of things.

Yes, it is legal in the US. Federal law allows it - P.R. 91-36 (FCC 93-410), though New York law attempts to make it illegal to do in your car: https://codes.findlaw.com/ny/vehicle-and-traffic-law/vat-sec...

As far as I know, the last time that happened in the US was May 4, 1970. A terrible, terrible day.
It's all tragic. If anyone ever finds themselves in a situation like Huixiang Chen, you have integrity that the world needs more of, don't despair. I suggest that your first order of business might be to find trustworthy people who can give give good advice, in confidence. Ideally, you'll eventually find someone with clout, who can take over fixing the problems, but the maybe first is to simply get good advice from trustworthy people. In parallel, go talk with a mental health counselor about how you're feeling, since feeling depressed and initially not being able to imagine any good outcome is normal.
This is a timely article. If I only viewed the world through my Facebook feed right now, I'd believe that everyone in the US wants to defund every police department.

In reality it's an incredibly unpopular view among everyone, left, right, and center.

I think making this worse is that even a mild concern about this policy would be received very poorly on social media -- so nobody objects and you see a silent majority phenomenon.

It's frightening that social media is a primary news source for so many people.
React doesn't have a lot of dependencies. The person you are responding to linked to React Native, which is an entirely different thing.

I think it's a bit misguided to think that code quality won't be visible to users. As someone who has used both React and React Native, the quality of these two projects from a user perspective is worlds apart, and I have little doubt that their different approaches to dependencies are partly to blame for that.
I also had weird flus this year and last fall. Still tested negative. There are hundreds of viruses and many mutations that give similar symptoms. It's not unusual that you get unusual one for you this one time

Does anyone know why they chose to offer renters/casualty insurance?

I understand how their model is a bit different from other insurance companies, and I think that's cool. But I'm still left wondering why they thought this form of insurance (as opposed to auto, life, etc) was the easiest to attack.
This is like in 1700s. Oh, this giant steam machines are so hard to maintain and scary, what if it explodes. Let's use labour instead.

I work on a 2-person project and decided to go with kubernetes (through digitalocean) for the cluster. I am managing everything with terraform and I don't have any big problems. I like that I can write everything as terraform manifests, have it diffed on git push and applied to prod if I want to.

Sure it had a learning curve but now I just describe my deployments and k8s does the rest, which then reflects back on digitalocean. If I need more power for my cluster, I increase the nodes through digitalocean and k8s automatically moves my containers around how it deems fit.

I used normal blue/green deployments on self-managed VMs in the past, then worked with beanstalk, heroku, appengine and I much prefer k8s. Yes it's easier on heroku, but try to run 2-3 different containers on the same dyno for dev to keep cost down. On k8s I can run my entire stack on one single small digitalocean $10 VM if I wanted to.

I wouldn't even know what I else could pick that gives me equal flexibility and power?
How’s it getting worse, exactly? I must admit I am intrigued by this contrarian view Than the average, but this feels light in specifics so I don’t have any way to address it on a point by point basis. Could you elaborate your positions here?
