I agree with your general point as to why some people are against science, but using an example from before the second world war to call out the left specifically is pretty off-base. An example from 1935-1940 in Soviet Russia has very little relevance to 2020 on an English-speaking forum.

Both sides of the spectrum have anti-scientific factions which are current: on the left there are deniers of gender differences and people who overstate the role of genetics in mental illness, on the right there are climate denyers, evolution deniers, people who think crime is prevented by more aggressive policing. Anti-vaxxers are fairly uniformly distributed across the political spectrum.

The housing market is terrible at the moment - if you were to kick the tenant out you'd probably still be waiting until this is over before you're guaranteed to get a new tenant anyway. Plus the usual estate agency overheads. I'm slightly too financially conservative/liberal to say landlords are in the wrong to kick tenants out during this crisis, but only slightly. Which is saying something! I'm glad that in the UK we have some government support to help both tenants and landlords.
I have worked with Romanian software developers, in the past.

Basically, I was quite impressed with their brilliance and almost insane work ethic.

The ones I worked with were kind of unorganized, but that was a small sample.
This was also my experience. It's easy to reflect on the day, or the week and feel like there was no joy, no break, no time where you got to do something you wanted or just relax. Our days were very long, as we did a staggered schedule with one of us starting work before 5a and the other ended around 7p so we were able to minimize unsupervised iPad time.

We finally decided to send our toddler back to daycare last week. She is an only child who loves playing with other kids and we felt the health risks were small compared to the social development and mental health impact.

I would say life now feels much more like a normal WFH situation. On reflection however, I realized my exhaustion prevented me from appreciating how much quality time I spent with my daughter, how much we were able to go outside and play every day, etc. Not looking to go back to that, but I would say just try to find time to take a deep breath, think about the good things that happened today, and give yourself a break on the compromises you had to make as a parent, spouse, or employee.
Hey screye, mid-March to mid-June was shit for me, too. Nearly 2 months of not being able to exercise outdoors. Stress eating & drinking. I had multiple meltdowns, some of which bled into my work. I somehow managed to not get fired. In my own way, I'm right there with you. If you need someone to listen w/o judgement, and to tell you "yeah, that does indeed suck", feel free to reach out. I had some people to lean on and it really helped me.
Thank you for the tip !

Are you the TerrAvion? Very impressed by the company you've built, and didn't realize you had a military background.

I've heard it described by the NGA as the "success-catastrophe of big data." They are struggling to figure out wtf to do with a data source like Planet that is daily, everywhere. Change detection has turned out to be WAY harder than anticipated, so most of it goes not only unseen but also un-analyzed. It's a giant waste of valuable information that is still locked up in servers of AWS and Google Cloud.
React state: render props vs. hooks
"COVID-19's behavior has been quite simple so far."

What do you mean with behavior? People are still discussing how it spreads.

The latest news is it travels as aerosol and that in badly ventilated rooms keeping 1.5m distance is not going to help much. And also that the amount of virus particles you inhale determines how sick you get.

So it is only predictable when we know how it is growing exponential.

The still ongoing discussion about how it spreads creates uncertainty.
But isn't that almost always the case?

If you are talking about 4 hour meetings of collaboration, then you are creating something together. And while it's quite often more efficient to see a distilled version of something rather than going through all steps as it's developed (kind of like reading a review article in a journal as opposed to all of the original research), the problem is that you need to go through that original stuff (the 4 hour meeting) to get to the outcome. If you aren't participating then you aren't helping create that information.

On the other hand, if you are talking about 4 hour presentations that can be distilled to 15 minutes of actual value, that's a different problem entirely.
Yeah but prerelease documentation has been wrong before.
Thanks.

1. Does your team/org maintain a central diagram repository? Or do team members use their diagram tool of choice and then export diagram into a central doc library (e.g. github markdown)?

2. The short-term plan is to add more diagram templates (e.g. VPCs, K8s clusters) to help folks author complex architectures quickly.

3. There are plans to release a paid enterprise version later in the year with features like SSO, customer-managed-encryption-keys, customer-managed-storage, team collaboration etc.

Overall, CloudSkew will remain focused on cloud diagram only.
We also use WebEx at work (university setting) and for smaller meetings, we require everyone to use (at a minimum) a set of basic headphones to avoid echo. If they don't use them, they need to keep their mic muted whenever they aren't speaking.

For class-related stuff or larger meetings/seminars, we use the Events portion of WebEx instead of Meetings. It's basically the same thing, but there are more "roles" so there's a host who can mute/unmute participants or assign privileges. Panelists are the speakers who can turn their audio and video off by themselves but can only screen share if made a "presenter". Attendees are just the people watching the thing, and they can chat with text but can't turn their own mics on. They can raise their hand or the host can find them in the attendee list if they need to unmute them.

Once people got used to how it works, it has been surprisingly effective. You don't need to make sure every attendee in a 300-person seminar has headphones on--just the people who are presenting. If one of the presenters is unwilling or unable to use headphones, I can mute them if they have a live mic that's just causing echo while they sit there and listen. Students and other attendees can still speak with their mics, but only when called on.

Incidentally, this also does away with all of the issues of people disrupting Zoom calls because you can only join as a panelist if you are on the list and have the right link. You can still publish the attendee link publicly because the worst thing an attendee can do is type in the chat (and even then, they can only send to "all participants" if you enable it).

How did you find that out? Really interested whether I fall in the same group. I feel like I agree with you; I haven't been exercising as much because I can't go to a studio/gym to exercise, and the deterioration of both physical health and mental well-being is very apparent now.

Agreed, Riot is very discouraging name for any adult especially now in this climate in US, HK and other places.

Considering Telegram and Signal are taken, protocol is Matrix, Neo would sound quite modern. Neo is using Matrix protocol is quite logical conclusion.
From the page:

What Can't Be Translated?

Rosetta can translate most Intel-based apps, including apps that contain just-in-time (JIT) compilers. However, Rosetta doesn’t translate the following executables:

* Kernel extensions

* Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms

Some people are not going to be happy about this.

Edit: But I personally am okay with that.
It's truly awkward that engadget uses 62-mile, when it should use the 100km unit.
Pretty terrible. I have no prospects, my startups all failed, I've lost most of my money (lost about $2m that I saved over 10 years and earned from previous startups which I managed to cash out). I tried to go the VC route, but no investors wanted to talk to me, so I spent my own money instead and now I'm broke.

I need to find a job, but because I'm highly experienced and older (35 y/o), most companies see me as expensive and difficult, thus don't want to hire me. Plus, I'm unlikely to put up with BS. I suck at interviews/coding challenges so I can't get hired at something like Google/FB in spite of having a stellar resume and long list of popular GitHub projects I created myself with thousands of happy users. Experience is a double edged sword: I can get things done much faster than most people, and I've pretty much done it all in computers by now, but I'm also jaded and can see through all the BS.

I'm seriously considering suicide. I'll run out of money soon, I own nothing, have no family, can't afford rent, and am not eligible for any government assistance because of the stupidity of the laws. I've read a lot of philosophy over the years, and I've decided that suicide is really not a bad option.

I'm so tired of being a peasant and working hard while someone else gets rich. I don't want to be someone's little worker bee anymore. I think the good opportunities are gone, and I don't want to contribute to bad companies doing bad things (i.e., most of big tech, and big cos in general).
Looks really nice, similar to draw.io but a bit cleaner designs. I would recommend making the default sign up flow friendlier to AWS and GCP users. Right now figuring out how to add those libraries is hard.

Also I would highly recommend more top level groups (AWS, Azure etc...) instead of having each type of service for each cloud on a new side tab. Basically make it more hierarchical.

Finally, make everything collapsed by default. Having dozens of tabs expanded on start is annoying to say the least.

How will this impact docker? Does this mean you can't run x86 docker containers on new Apple laptops?
We moved to a town with no municipal trash pickup. There are three private companies I can use. I pay $40/mo for one barrel of trash, and one of recycling every two weeks. Instead of one truck picking up trash on a route, there are at least three trucks picking up trash and driving through our neighborhood. In this instance, each of us negotiating independently with the vendor, and having 3x the traffic, doesn't make sense to me.
I'm with you. For us it has been pretty much fine. My spouse and I stay at home for the most part, except for the occasional shopping trip. Working from home. Luckily we haven't got on each others nerves much :)
Well, interestingly enough, the factors are both what you would normally consider a "vulnerable" population, but also, folks with a high metabolic rate (athletes) as well.

Low hydration is also a factor, and when you consider than millions of USA-ians may not be able to afford their water bill, well...

One of the best things I did right before lockdown was to buy an Olympic Bar and learn how to slow-cook cheap cuts of meat. Despite being mostly sedentary (and broke), I'm in the best shape of my life simply from eating once or twice a day and doing ~10x 50kg squats every 2nd or 3rd day.

"First point to note is the character of the source. There are several choices on this: the true source (who really got it out?) and the ostensible source (whose name is signed to it?); also, the first-use source (who used it the first time?) and the second-use source (who claims merely to be using it as a quotation?). Take the statement: "Harry said to me, he said, 'I never told anybody that Al's wife was a retired strip-teaser.' Mind you, I don't pretend to believe Harry, but that's what he said, all right." What are the possible true sources for the statement of fact or libel concerning Al's unnamed wife? What are the alternatives on ostensible sources? First use? Second use? The common sense needed to analyze this statement is of the same order as the process involved in analyzing the statement: "Reliable sources in Paris state that the visit of the American labor delegation has produced sensational repercussions in Moscow, and that Moscow, upon the basis of the American attitude, is determined to press for unification of the entire German labor movement.""

I'd suggest "Praxis", but thats taken (both understood and occupied) a few different ways. Perhaps "Praxis Factor Communications"? Nah, that sounds absolutely like an over-sterile dogwhistle.

Perhaps "bloom" helps to evoke the right idea, or "rhyzome".

"Rhyzome Factor". Eh, spelling that gets hard, may as well embrace the misspelling, but keep the pronunciation and imagery. Where there is an opportunity in the dirt, a rhyzomatic plant will be the FIRST thing to fill it.

Downvotes can feel very unwelcoming, even when they aren't intended to be. Especially if they aren't followed with a comment pointing out how to do better. I try to reserve my downvotes for questions that seem hopeless, but I leave a lot of comments. It's funny that Stack Overflow is now attempting to make downvoting more common, after going on recently about how they wanted it to be more welcoming.

Votes to close are worse of course. There's no more direct way to say you don't belong here.
We've been doing great. It's been awesome to spend more time with my children since I WFH most of the time, and I no longer have to spend time commuting. I'm lucky enough to have a yard where they can get outside and play without being around other people.

Since we are all home and not traveling we got in touch with the animal sanctuary again and have been fostering another round of kittens. These four bring our total to 18 since we started doing this. This is great because they are adorable, my children love caring for them.

It has also given me time to teach my children some basic microcontroller programming / electronics, which I think will benefit them immensely in the long run.

My wife and I have been walking a bit, ~5 miles a day. This does help me to stay in shape, although excess weight has never been a problem for either of us.

It's not all rosy, though. I miss my friends and family. Family is not as difficult as friends since my family is scattered around the country and we do not see each other on a regular basis.

A key takeaway is that Peak Oil isn't about "peak supply", but "peak demand."
> If there is new physics to study let us keep the experiment going as is to study that for a generation or two.

They are doing that, are are doing upgrades to get more use of out of the LHC. The new planned collider is for about a generation from now.

If this goes ahead, it will be starting construction in nearly 20 years from now.

> If there is no new physics from the last experiment, why do we think that building a bigger microscope will be any different?

CERN has a specific remit. They're planning for that remit. If their funding sources do not think the odds justifies the expense, they'll cut funding, but it's not CERNs job to sit back and not come up with plans for what to do next. It's CERNs job to look at what they can do to enable further science within their remit.

They've come up with this as one option and decided to move forward with planning. That does not mean it will happen - if they don't get funding in place it won't, or will be delayed.

In the meantime the shorter term upgrades to the LHC may or may not end up supporting their case for the new collider depending on the results they get.
Yep, and for the sake of making sure everyone can appreciate the joke I suppose I should explain the other half. During the 32 -> 64 bit transition, Windows took the opposite approach: instead of packing both architectures into a single "fat" library file, they would separate them into different folders. 64 bit libraries would be "native" and go into the usual system library folder and legacy 32 bit versions would go into a new "Windows on Windows" emulation folder. Good so far. The problem is that the usual system library folder was /Windows/System32 which alludes to 32-bit-ness but will now hold 64 bit libraries. That's a bit facepalm, but sacrifices had to be made for compatibility, or something (I would assume). For the emulation folder they chose /Windows/SysWOW64 because "Windows on Windows" ran on 64 bit and emulated 32 bit. Fair enough, I suppose, but now a folder with a name alluding to 64-bit-ness will contain 32 bit libraries, so we have a double facepalm:

C:\Windows\System32 is where the 64 bit libraries live
C:\Windows\SysWOW64 is where the 32 bit libraries live

This is silly enough that it deserves a good-natured elbow-jab every now and then.
Ironically that was the pun we were making back in 2015 when Riot used to be called Vector. Not only is a Matrix made up of Vectors, but also Vector would be the vehicle for virally spreading Matrix throughout the internet :D

Given the "quality" of the models established for the COVID pandemic, I think it's not outlandish to say that scientists should alarm less and study more.

If we can't model correctly a "simple" pandemic, how can we model something as complex as climate.

I'm tired of the faith in scientists. They're just human : they can make mistakes, they can be bought and more often than not they can delude themselves.
Not sure about the details for how this works, but they specifically mentioned Docker to be supported at the keynote.
I do use F# as compiled dlls, but like I said it is not supported. Only C# compiled IL is officially supported with il2cpp, and issues related to other languages are liable to be closed as won't fix. There also is no good NuGet story for Unity, which may catch a dotnet dev off guard.

On one hand, a lot of things work surprisingly well. On the other, if you're going into it thinking you're going to get the same dotnet development experience in Unity - that's not the experience I've had.

There are decent terms in the screenplay of the Matrix movie to draw from.

Despite nobody being able to spell most of them, the ship names would be good. Nebuchadnezzar, Logos, Icarus etc.[0]

There’s also other terms such as “construct” (the local Matrix instance /site before you enter the real matrix)

I read a comment on here alluding to some patents on x86_64 virtualization expiring later this year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23612256 - could that mean that there is a chance this might happen and they are keeping it quiet for now, or are patents likely unrelated?

dyld, the dynamic linker on macOS, handles it for you. You tell it what you need it will handle mapping in the correct pages for you from the big file; both statically (based on your binary's load commands) and dynamically (using dlopen, etc.) The process is essentially transparent unless you look really carefully at what it's doing under the hood.
