If it's sporadic for someone who thinks they might be sick, I can understand, but I'm already worried about unintended consequences of so many people giving their immune systems a vacation, and the longer this goes on, the more likely it is that a Covid mutation that bypasses masks takes hold. We've never fought a disease like this on this scale, so these are pretty big open questions that I'm surprised I'm not hearing more about.

There is still a lot of work that has to be done before the ball is given to LLVM. If that gets optimized, it can improve the results.

As somone who builds large apps via web components, I couldn't disagree more.

I'm able to compose components into higher order screens and get an enormous amount of reusability across projects.

I have a set of components, screens, etc... that I've built up over time and I can mix and match them and whip out an app extraordinarily fast.

Additionally, there are some great design systems and component libraries like Ionic built on top that make this even easier.

I can write a component for a client, and they can use it anywhere in their ecosystem, regardless of technology.

> Companies have an obligation to defend the system that provided the environment in which they were formed and flourished.

No, the only thing companies are obligated to do is what they want to do (usually profit), within the boundaries of the law.

There’s no obligation to support the environment in which you flourished. A particularly ruthless company might actively work against that environment to prevent competitors. And it’d be fine - use the law to define what a company can or cannot do instead of depending on personal (company) responsibility.

Yeah, the article seems to be contradictory. First it says “even my Mum, who knows nothing about Snowflake, bought shares.” Then it gives complex technical analysis to explain why the share price is high. Um, I think the first explanation works better....

In general the article persuaded me that Snowflake is a great company. But without some maths relating all these numbers to an estimate of future revenue, there’s no way to tell if it’s a great stock — at the current price. It’s the same problem that Tesla bulls have.
This isn't actually how monopolies work. Theoretically, monopolies cannot just charge what they want for a product, unless demand is perfectly inelastic. i.e. At some point, people (consumers) will stop paying or move to a substitute.

> how far the market can move against me in those 5 minutes and adjust my price to account for that risk. So I would have to put in an order for a considerably worse price

I lost you here probably due to my unfamiliarity with some financial instruments. I am only aware of two types of an order: market and limit. The first one is unaffected for obvious reason.

In case of a limit order, let's say you are trying to sell. You think fair price is X, while currently market only offers (X-a). So you put limit sell order at X. What do you mean in this situation by "market moves against me"? The price goes further down? If that is the correct interpretation, when putting your order you actually have to reduce the limit price in order to increase the chances of your order to succeed, thereby increasing liquidity.
Forth isn't slow because it can be compiled to machine code, which is not even touched on by the article.

The main argument of the article seems to be reiterating the idea that in a tree, most of the nodes are leaves. For instance, in a balanced binary tree containing 2^n-1 nodes, a little over half the nodes are leaves. So if we visualize the call graph as traversing a tree, where the leaves are primary primitives in machine language, the bulk of the activity is always going on in the machine language leaves. When a primitive operation returns, much of the time control soon passes to another primitive operation, staying near the bottom of the tree.

It's been a very long time since I looked into it, but I do recall a court case that ruled delivering an invoice by email was considered the same as using the USPS.

The software just increments a counter when the invoice is opened and calls the url for the image. The image url is only used in the customer's email and it has a unique id. The url points to a server side perl script that associates the id with an invoice and increments a counter if some tests are successful.

So, while I'm sure one could probably figure out how to spoof the counter the process is obscure enough to make that improbable.

> As of kitty, just check out it's source repo to get an idea of how messy everything it is

I'll save everyone a bunch of clicks and say that it's a project by Kovid Goyal aka the author of Calibre, the open-source eBook library management tool.

If you've never used Calibre:

It has a horrific UI and basic functions most users would want to do require following lengthy guides.

It has no ability to self-update. Goyal has made various excuses for this but it seems to mostly boil down to either he can't be bothered, or he doesn't know how. I can't find the post but at one point he was claiming it was "because of bandwidth costs." Apparently he's unaware of delta updaters, or even content delivery networks.

It has 'recipes' for downloading news from a site and wrapping this into an ebook for your reader. The recipes are implemented as part of the core program, not as a plugin. You have to update Calibre as a whole - a several hundred MB download - to get recipe updates.

His release engineering is terrible. He regularly implements new features, but his code quality and testing is poor so he's also constantly releasing to fix bugs that could have been hammered out in an alpha or beta or dev release. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was releasing new versions every week or two until 5.0 came out. I'm not aware of any other major open source desktop application with this sort of release engineering.

He arbitrarily decided to cease supporting MacOS X versions older than 10.14 with Calibre 5. If you're running an OS older than 2 years old on your Mac, you're screwed. There is little justification for an ebook library management tool needing such a new version of the OS. And again, because he puts all the recipes into the main program, if you're stuck on the older version of Calibre due to having a more-than-two-year-old OS, you're screwed.

If you're not aware of Kovid Goyal, well, it would be an understatement to say he's incredibly arrogant and pretty abusive, too:

https://lwn.net/Articles/465311/

https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/853934

"Just set your system proxy settings in a way that breaks everything else, because I refuse to implement it properly" is pretty breathtaking.

And then there's the time he declared that he wasn't going to migrate to python 2, and he could "maintain python 2 himself":

https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9wodtq/calibre_wont_...

Some of this might be excusable if Goyal wasn't raking in enough money in donations to work on Calibre full time for the last several years (supposedly.)

Inconsiderate, sure, if someone's pointed it out and they're still doing it.)
These results make sense since HCQ is a drug normally used in auto immune situations to keep your immune system from acting up, therefore this drug would probably effectively keep people’s immune system in check, and keep Covid from becoming something that triggers an overactive immune response that ends up killing you.

TLDR results, reduces regular hospitalized patients from entering the ICU by about 50 percent, but once in ICU, treatment is not effective at all.

A website asking you to drag in a file, yet it doesn't support TLS. Any MITM can trivially modify the delivered javascript to exfiltrate the file or show a wrong identifier for it.

In addition, those "drag a file to upload" dialogs are just awful. I don't have a file explorer installed that supports dragging (I just use midnight commander). If you give me a 'browse' button, I can use the gtk file-picker to get something, but "drag and drop" doesn't work. It's also an accessibility issue: screenreaders can click buttons, but they're much worse at dragging files into specific webpage areas.

industrial sugar is a cheap filler. it is the rightful role of government to regulate the externalities imposed on consumers by producers that use asymmetries of information to sell adulterated staple foods like "bread" with a large amount of corn syrup in it. it is now necessary for buyers to spend a considerable amount of time and intellectual energy to avoid such things, and that imposes a real cost on consumers. if i want to know whether my food has added sugar, i now have to read the labels of every atomic "ingredient" that i buy, like canned tomatoes, or corn.

i only trade with subway because it is the closest thing to food i can buy at the airport or by the freeway. without consumer access to complete information, i doubt that i will have access to products that are not adulterated with cheap, harmful ingredients.

this seems to me like a canonical example of the sort of case where regulation would make a more efficient market.

This should be an easy question to answer if your device actually works, pragmatically speaking.

I'm not sure if there is a big cultural divided regarding wearing helmets for safety reasons.

Anecdotally it's most strongly driven by "competition" with cars:

- Small city -> Not that much traffic -> No helments

- Big city with lacking bike infrastructure/no strong biking culture -> A lot of close encounters with cars -> Helmets

- Big city with established biking culture -> No helmets
