I am not crying about China. It is the truth. The only way to prevent uncontrolled spread would have been to stop it before it became uncontrolled. The fact that the first cases were in Cali. in December shows how impossible that really is for a non-island nation (caveat only because NZ)

The main point I was making is that it isn't possible! By the time China had enough data to detect a novel virus, it was too late. It would have always been too late. China isn't to blame. This could just have easily of jumped species in Canada or the US. The point is that we can't be gods no matter how much we tell ourselves we are just that.

NZ has the benefit of having 1,000 miles of ocean between them and everyone else. Very easy to isolate.

That's not a small number, though. Do you think that any number is acceptable? Any number above 0 deserves the kind of protest response we see in America today.

Your post is invalidating to the centuries of oppression faced by Blacks in America and to their struggles today.

If you don’t know what you want, you can’t be disappointed you didn’t get it. If you don’t know what you’ll get, you won’t be beholden to citizens for not getting it or getting it done. It may seem careless, but it’s also convenient to avoid accountability by avoiding responsibility, and avoiding responsibility by avoiding acknowledgement or awareness of an issue.
What, the standard or OPs?

Why should I have to?
We had a small fleet (12 of them) at the manufacturing plant I worked at back in 2007.

They were great because staff could save tons of time running back to the production area or warehouse. Maintenance had the models with tool bags on the sides.

They were very expensive to repair, and had lots of quirks that needed firmware updates and such.

We got acquired and the new parent company wouldn’t take the liability, so I had to pallet them up and sell the whole lot on eBay.
The article linked is doing much more than benchmarking string operations. I'd even argue that string allocations are about as minimal as possible with the algorithms used. The C version takes this a little farther, but each of the other implementations are pretty similar.

I don't disagree that benchmarks should be taken with a mound of salt though.
This happened to me ages ago and I was also unable to recover my accounts but recently I tried again, and I was able to recover 1 of my 2 lost accounts. The second one is pending. It seems Google has changed the process and after a semi-failed attempt to recover they actually pass it to a human. All my previous attempts ended in a stone walled error "We are unable to verify it is you", even when I was able to provide things like old numbers, old passwords or verification codes from backup emails.

Maybe try again. :)

One thing to note is that I was unable to access an old account for so long that it no longer has any old email in it.

> So in worst case scenario for a recursive resolver in EU tries a DNS server in USA, and it happens to be down, and then gives up.

Recursive resolving algorithm for caching servers is actually addressed in the RFCs, it /should/ be trying all of them and using its own findings to prefer the best-performing one(s). But it doesn't know about anycast, if a recursive was switching between anycast nodes (with the same address) then that would imply that routes were flapping. :-(

Interesting data points.

I think the elephant in the room is the Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) a.k.a. "mobile" and I don't work with provisioning much so all I can say is that I suspect that if mobile is your concern you just prostrate yourself to the UTRAN masters and co-locate wherever they tell you to.

SSL/TLS cert management is a fiasco in my opinion, it's a shame that DNSSEC hasn't achieved market dominance so that if you own a domain you can automatically sign certs for it yourself. (Then we wouldn't need CA lists in browsers and OSes either.)

All of those are multiple times higher than Italy. There are other factors that cause decade-level differences in homicide rate, but if you want to bring the baseline homicide rate down, you could do worse than looking at access to guns.
The Swedish model is only viable as long as you don't mind killing 4700 extra people.

Sweden and Czech Republic has about the same population, there were strict lockdown measures in the Czech Republic and not much at all in Sweden.

So far 336 people have died in the Czech Republic due to Covid-19, daily cases are ~50. For comaparison Sweden has 5053 dead with daily cases about 500-600.

That does not look like something viable & I'm not sure how are they gonna get out of this with some many daily case & how many more people will have to needlessly die.

I call this the pool theory (hat tip to Merlin Mann). The problem as you said is that each state followed its own lockdown policy, yet travel between states is unregulated. It's as if we had a giant pool, and said, "you can pee in this area, but only this area." Not realizing how after a certain amount of time, all the water was tainted with urine.
Vietnam has 90M people, a massive land border and only 350 cases (no community spread for 6 weeks now). They are testing like crazy, so it’s not because they aren’t catching them.

How did they do it? All borders closed. Quarantine at home? Well, we’ll post someone to keep an eye on you. Not following the rules? We have a quarantine camp that will work better.

Someone infected on the same floor of your apartment building? Everyone is locked down for 24 hrs (can’t leave your unit). Floor is disinfected and everyone tested.

Vietnam just basically went full throttle using every public health measure they could.
My theory is that, at these big companies with large, established products, they're just looking for stuff for designers to do.

I mean, you do need designers for whenever you add new features, and you want really great ones for that. But those really great designers want to do something, and there just aren't enough new features to keep them busy.

I mean, I don't dislike the aesthetics of the change, but yeah, I just wonder, "Why?" I agree with the few (what I think are relatively minor) specific issues that have been pointed out where utility has decreased, and I'm finding it difficult to point to any particular change and say, "Yes, this is better than before."

The original paper on Java generics as we know them today only mentions Haskell twice, both times in passing.

Some places have made total eradication possible (e.g. New Zealand)

Most places just aren't being transparent. Wearing a mask has turned into a political or moral statement without being driven by a goal. Leaders aren't really selling any goals, though CDC / various health departments probably have goals, the technical details are not being communicated. Instead all you see is vague information and seemingly arbitrary action from leaders and virtue signaling from the population.

In Trump-led America, I think the goal is pretty obviously positive political outcomes for Trump. CDC and others might have goals but I haven't seen them.

Part of the problem is people are generally so stupid about failure that any goal setting sets you up to be a target for people angry about not meeting your goal or not setting an aggressive enough goal so being vague is seen as the best strategy, even though I think it leads to the sort of "fake news" vs "moral crusade" problem.
I lived in downtown Chicago when Segways came out, and while the tourists ate them up, the locals hated them.

Since everyone using them was still also learning how to ride them, they were constantly crashing into cars, people, dogs, gardens, and anything else that wasn't moving out of their way. The complaints to the city were endless, and I think the local alderman managed to get some kind of restrictions on them.

I thought they seemed like a good idea, though a little large. I expected they'd eventually take off, but now that I live somewhere that tourists don't venture, I'd actually forgotten that Segways exist.
I wonder what is the round-trip efficiency for this cycle. I read that you can improve it by matching with large scale but low-grade heat source.
I like buying new tech, and I used to be into fun quirky ways to get around. The Segway was just too expensive without enough benefit. I guess I've never lived close enough to work to consider walking, but that seems to be the main appeal.

Now I've got a friend trying to convince me to buy a OneWheel. I just can't justify $1500 for a weird skateboard when I could literally order an electric car on Alibaba for that much money.

I figure between legs, bikes, cars, trains and planes, we've pretty much got transportation solved. Segway tried to solve what bikes solved a hundred years earlier. But bikes are less expensive, are also really fun, and are great exercise.

That simply is not true. Not by a long shot. NY became NY because they responded poorly, infected nursing homes by housing non-critical patients there and intubated patients that didn't need it through "caution" or some excuse.

Also, NY is about as dense as the US gets, and has way more shared, multi-generational housing than the rest of the US. Also NYC has way more transit usage than any other area in the USA, which was one important vector.

I don't really care for their excuses why they don't do it. Even if anything of that applied in the past, they have no excuse today.

The bottom line - they don't do it and don't allow let's say hardware makers to provide drivers, like they can do even on Windows. That alone is an indication that it's anything but open.

> You can still run Vulkan on macOS if you want -- you are free to implement it, run it, make shims or layers if you wish etc, just not with Apple's support.

You aren't free to do that. Hardware drivers for macOS are all controlled by Apple. Otherwise you'd see AMD, Intel and Nvidia providing native Vulkan for macOS already. The only thing you can do is to provide translation into Apple's Metal lock-in (like MoltenVK, gfx-rs and so on).

macOS is one of the worst examples of closed systems.

If you can persistently keep the rate < 1, you will by mathematical definition eradicate the disease. (0.99 * 0.99 * 0.99 ... eventually sums to zero.)
