I find this weirdly amazing, as to this day I was reading some medical news and documentaries where it was said that entire human bodies were sliced by millimetre slices. So, somehow I always imagined that each part of body and tissue is 100% known and that only left is to find out what are inner workings on the nano-meter scale, deep molecular levels or genetic level.

But in 2018 there was a similar news about Interstitium:

In 2017 there was mesentery:

I wonder if a few of these could be purchased to function as ceph nodes. I havent tried running ceph on ARM but it feels tailor-made for a cluster storage unit.
Until Rust becomes at least a mainstream language (and if it becomes one), criticism addressing its lack of mainstream adoption and novelty are perfectly legitimate and these arguments are worth considering when deciding what to base a project on.

The fact that a specific corporation has implemented a specific project by using a specific tool is completely meaningless as to the appropriateness of using that tool in another context.
You also have to notify that it is under the AGPL and provide access (e.g. a link) to the license. Technically the source code could be behind an ask-wall though.

Why/how would they cause you to put that much into legal fees? You don't need to hire an attorney, and probably you can hire anyone (with a legal bar license), right? Just hire the cheapest one. Sure that might not be the brightest tactic, but claiming that they can "cause" this is very strange. (You might even get someone to file motions for you pro bono.)
Well, almost. Dispatch can happen at compile time, and in fact does for type-stable code. But the dispatch is on run-time types, not static types.

(The fact that you can have static dispatch on dynamic types is a pretty subtle point that hurts my head, but the upshot is that you get semantically dynamic dispatch with static performance as an optimization.)
No.

Free market capitalism is merely more efficient than any other known approach.

From one of earlier responses:

> you just have to regulate the arbitration potential so it doesn't eat too much legitimate profit

Oh yeah? And why would someone who has the power to regulate do that in a way that doesn't optimize capitalism for the regulators and not some (unachievable!) academic optimum that you propose?
Well, the fact that someone was uable to breathe on their own also suggests that the virus may have caused a lack of oxygen to the brain. In such circumstances brain damage is quite likely, and then the disease would indeed be the cause.

Fortunately, the group of people that end up on ventilators is not really that large, and I can imagine minor brain damage would still be preferable to death in many of those cases.

As a sibling commented, theeffects that won't start to manifest until a year or two has passed are more worrying. There's simply so much we don't know about this virus yet.
If they just split out the human traffic it would be way more useful.
Yeah I see that on my personal website. Most visitors won't come back later at the same day, so sessions and unique visitors is almost the same.

Especially since Bing's contracts have historically required disabling the ability to switch to a different search engine, presumably because they realize that everyone would just switch to Google anyway, meaning that it wouldn't just be the default but the only search engine people could easily use unless they jumped ship to Chrome.

The problem isn't that Google is the only company that can pay due to their monopolistic position, it's that they're the only company willing to pay that wouldn't require Mozilla to compromise their key principles and their browser - probably because they're good enough that they're confident people actually want to use them.

Interesting device! There's more details linked in the CNX Soft post [1], in particular, a thread on ODROID.com showing benchmarks [2].

At an agency, we used to run our web apps on some crappy 08 model laptops running on a gig of memory with outdated browsers. If the webapp ran there without major hitches, it was considerd good enough. It made everyone on the team think hard about optimizing even before a single line of code was written. It really did force excessive simplicity and not jumping on new libs/frameworks just because we can.

I believe ITU patients often suffer from psychosis while in treatment and PTSD afterwards. Intensive medical intervention really can be incredibly traumatic for many, over and above the trauma of the illness or injury that put you in ITU.

Recursive Common Table Expressions (CTE) are hard to understand until you've worked through at least one real-world example. The SQLite documentation on the WITH Clause has a couple of simple examples [1] for an Org Chart and a Family; both represent hierarchical data structures.

The Fossil discussion involves the SCM's representation of a File System, probably the most common hierarchical data structure we regularly encounter. Hierarchical data structures are notoriously hard in SQL. Recursive CTEs are not easy but they are useful and efficient for hierarchical data.

For a lark I once played organ pipes of an organ that was being decommissioned.

You can think of it as similar to operator overloading. It's not quite the same, but it's a subtle distinction, or rather, the explanation of the difference is subtle.

You can find examples where operator overloading and multiple dispatch actually behaves differently and gives different answers, but the comparison works as a first order approximation.

Universities are terrible at teaching programming/software engineering. Many also suck at teaching computer science. There's no incentives in academia to be good at teaching, and many lecturers only care about their research.

There are arguments here and on the blog post that the industry doesn't have credentials. We do have credentials, it's the CS degree, but universities suck at issuing them so we don't rely on them much. Sometimes not at all.

The people saying, hey, why can't we be like civil engineering are thus perhaps not sounding as re-assuring as they hope: why would universities be more trustworthy at teaching civil engineering than other kinds of engineering? The problems are incentive related. Ultimately the software industry is highly egalitarian and a bad university experience can't hurt your career permanently, like it could in most other fields.

Cloudflare Analytics is server side, we all know that server side analytics is good to get number of GET requests but is almost unusable for anything else. But in their case it seems they are not even trying to filter bots

Page views is always the biggest complains people have when they change analytics tool, "why you have 100k more/less pages views than GA, adobe Analytics?" -> "We don't count pageviews the same way" The reality is everyone is filtering bots a different way and nobody is really doing it well, as a result anyone numbers are wrong. The raw number of pageviews usually doesn't mean anything, that's better to look at difference

If anyone is curious, that howtotomakemyblog.com referral site in the CF dashboard seems to be a domain that redirects back to the same domain that's hosting this blog post.

It didn't appear in his analytics tool's referrals. I guess it's because his tool follows redirects and ignores listing same site referrals while CF does not?

Summary: Letters from a Stoic by Seneca (65 AD)
I have a screwed up neck. WHen I had surgery for a different part of my body I had to be awake while they "put the tube in". You are on an operating table with an anesthetic in your throat, your arms are restrained, then these masked (which would seem more normal now, I guess) and gowned figures start forcing tube down your throat while you try to "swallow it" and breath through your nose... there's a point where you can't breath. As soon as it is in place and you feel like you are going to suffocate they hit you with the general anesthetic and it's light out. You wake up (no time has passed for you) and your throat is sore. I had nightmares about it for months after (initially, whenever I closed my eyes). The drugs they give you in the hospital help somewhat but once home, look out. I can't imagine what it would be like to wake up in an ICU with that tube still in. I know eventually I will need another operation and I sometimes realize this will all happen again. I am trying to learn to live with this and realizing without the operations I will die, etc. Also, that so many people are dealing with so many worse things.

I wasn’t aware of this or that it was even possible to not be able to switch search providers. What is the biggest example of Bing being forced on an install base without the ability to switch?

The only example I know of Bing is the setup in Windows for IE/Edge. And iOS toyed with it for a while but has stuck with google.
Does this study take in account, that people who are hospitalized are probably less healthy than a control group, and maybe already have more cognitive deficits then a control group before getting hospitalized?
You’re right. I’ll look for a better example.
The EMH is also conflating an economic model with a political belief system.

The notion that these huge corporate bureaucracies are somehow "efficient" at anything except trashing the environment and homogenising and controlling - if not ultimately economically cannibalising - their own workers and customer base is clearly counterfactual.
Maybe it's because this whole situation has been ridiculously politicized, to the point where it's difficult to have a rational fact-based discussion.

I'll add a few more I've noticed over time.

Certifications are a strong negative predictor. Someone who turns up with a lot of corporate certifications is unlikely to do well when asked difficult questions.

People who have only ever worked in low grade or low tier banks tend to do poorly. There are a few exceptions. GS has good technologists. Most big investment banks have a few programmers (older ones usually) who have solid experience - but who are unlikely to put any creative effort in and may have a "here's why it can't be done" attitude. May not matter for some roles.

People who list a very large number of short roles tend to do poorly.

People who give a list of projects in their resume experience for which they only assert they were part of the group that delivered it, without concrete claims of tech leadership, often do poorly - generally it indicates a "hiding amongst the crowd" problem in which someone is a poor performer and attempts to hide lack of any actual achievement by reference to group projects.

People who list obscure programming languages as a skill do relatively well, people who list obscure products as a skill do relatively poorly.
But it's still an effect of the treatment. If you perform a study on people whom have been ill you're going to get results that show all the symptoms of illness.. the study could have been done with any illness and likely show cognitive decline.

Sorry, IANAL. Open Source software is written in Poland with all the usual open source licences and it works so I'm sure at least in practice it's not a problem.

A lot of it is thanks to the fact that suing people is much less common here, so it never gets challanged. Also the person who lost the case pays the costs here unlike in the US so that's a deterrent.

I've looked into it now and it seems for software the personal copyrights are restricted compared to art. So for example you can't veto changes made to your software after you sold economic rights to it or using it for stuff you disagree with.

> Must I assume that a Polish author can come after me if I follow the letter of CC-BY-SA-3.0, but not in a way that he or she likes?

I think they'd have to prove that the way it's used harms them. It's not enough to say "I don't like it". But again IANAL.

There has been some cases for example about using Solidarity movement logo from 80s by various now-conflicted post-solidarity political parties and their supporters. I don't know who won, but I know that the author of the original logo was involved despite giving the rights to that logo to anti-communist opposition decades ago.
> drugs developed with a specific purpose, but then afterwards found to have a completely different effect to what was originally intended

I don't find that surprising. You have to do the early phases of drug development in model systems like cell cultures for practical reasons: It makes evidence obtained more reproducible and has less ethical concerns than experimenting on humans immediately. It's like how software components usually get implemented and tested in simplified environments (e.g. unit tests use doubles), and just like with drugs, sometimes we find that software components interact with each other in unexpected ways when combined into a whole.

On the subject of side/long term effects of covid:

I've heard, second-hand from doctors/physicians, that the long term effects of covid are not necessarily that bad compared to e.g. the flu.
The argument being that:

1. covid has been one of the most studied viruses of this kind, so that you have good chances of stumbling upon lots of size effects, simply due to the sheer size of scrutiny.

2. a bad flu also can yield nasty side effects, but we don't talk about that that much.

I don't know what to make of that, and since it's second-hand information, I don't even know how true it is… can anyone shed some light on these arguments?
It's one of those things where the exact rules are complex and easy to misremember. Ironically, your two scripts demonstrate one way in which the problem arises. The rules are different for each script, because the command expansions are in different contexts. And when someone in the future decides to make your code into a shell function with local variables, suddenly the rules change again.

For maintainability, for safety, for the people who come after one, and for one's own sanity, the general advice is to always quote.
