I'm not sure what your point is. Yes, diet and lifestyle are important for a whole host of health reasons. No-one disagrees with that. And yes, some people said things about ventilators at the start of the pandemic which now appear dumb.

Neither of those apply here. Conflating research into gene editing technologies to fix previously unsolvable medical problems with a 'fixation on shiny tech' and implying that this research is just flashy headline grabbing, is insulting to people who suffer every day as a result of these conditions and stand to gain considerable quality of life improvements if this research ultimately leads to new treatments in humans.
Hey there, first off cool stuff I can see this being plenty useful for various projects. We're exploring GDELT data for our own needs and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing what were some rough spots or gotchas using the project?
There are always decentralized exchanges. I think eventually people will get used to the UX of handling their own keys and prefer it over keeping their coins in exchanges. Either that, or banks will start doing crypto custody and government will guarantee the assets. But I think that's less likely, I don't see banks inviting the risk of managing crypto keys.
It's not an ideal measure, but do you have a better one in mind? It's gotta be at least a bit better than trading our individual guesses.

The market power that big tech enjoys is partly why tech compensation is so high.
For me this is bitter-sweet as I've watched Paypal for years try kill any blockchain startup that had anything to do with using their shitty payment processor. "Absolutely NO cryptocurrencies! Unless of course it's us monopolizing it! Then it's okay!" Facebook pulled the same shit banning crypto ads and then shilling their crapcoin. Samsung did it by stalling anyone working on blockchain tech designed to run on their devices until they could offer their own solution. Google is doing the same with search ads until it can shill their centralized cloud solutions as a scalability option and whatever other evil shit they have in the pipeline. These companies are the anti-thesis to the blockchain. Paypal's crappiness is probably a leading reason 'Satoshi' invented Bitcoin.
Arbitrary stat but ok. Deaths are kinda the most important otherwise we wouldn't be shutdown
At this point the term is meaningless. It's just something tech companies feel compelled to say they do.

I would like developers to learn SQL first before picking ORM to actually understand what the ORM is doing for them. Sure they'll be doing their share of sub-optimal subqueries and head bumping trying to write group by queries. But in the end I think this would make them better developers who knew the underlying software and application logic, not just the API of the ORM.

Yet we don't really live in that kind of ideal world and there are many factors that people have to consider. If everybody else in the company is using ORM, why shouldn't you. Or, if you just need to ship products and don't necessarily enjoy learning SQL. Or, if you don't know how to properly abstract the structured SQL queries without making it a huge mess. Saying that ORM is better/worse is like saying everybody likes music.

If I'm building a Nodejs app I would choose not to use ORM. For other languages and frameworks I'd probably reconsider and evaluate my options.

To me however, the biggest benefit of using no ORM is the learning of SQL. Time and time again that proves itself so invaluable, and I'm immensely happy I've learnt the quirks of SQL instead of some language specific API. If I can code faster with ORM that's great, but in ideal world I would much rather learn SQL and become a master of it rather than of some ORM.
So if I accept bitcoin as payments, do I have to keep to up to date with all the blacklists that are out there? Otherwise I might end up accepting coins that are "blacklisted" and are worthless. Who is the authoritative source for these blacklists? Are merchants forced to subscribe to every blacklist out there, in fear that even some chance of accepting blacklisted coins is too much? We kind of see this in action in the fiat world, with payment providers freezing accounts that sent transactions with certain keywords.

Ah. Thanks, i read the article but not carefully it seems.
I prefer the original - it tells me that 18% of all hospitalised patients are alive today where they would not have been before.

Yours tells me 2/3 of them that were dying are no longer, but it puts me on edge like I might be being baited into clicking - a 2/3 drop isn't necessarily impressive, like in normal times if 0.5% of ED patients are dying, dropping by a factor of three might just be the difference between a good and bad month.

18pp is always a big chunk (~1/5) of the total, it's notable whether the starting point was 90% or 20%.

Drove forklifts and reach trucks for 4+ years. Often times there is a bit of finesse needed to shift a pallet into position for you to be able to pick it up cleanly and safely. Not saying it couldn't be done from a desk control, but without trying it out I'd say something is lost not be onsite and seeing the full impact of what you're doing.
I also used to find this disturbing, but
the way I have explained this to myself is --

Insignificant < 25%
Not insignificant 25-50%
Not significant 50-75%
Significant > 75%

Of course for each individual situation the numbers vary, and I use them simply to demonstrate that it's a matter of degrees, and not as binary as you may expect a typical "not" to be.

It is the only double negative I have come to find useful.
Measure by lives lost?

A case only really matters to clinical medicine if there’s some type of symptom.

Of course it benefits the “concerned” side to couch their argument in the idea of some murky, unobservable effects.
You need to measure the position and then send that position to the satellite (as well as any necessary corrections to the clock).
Alright, but on the range from nothing to perfect, we are... Far more than 2x the dark ages. More like 1000x.
PayPal and similar services already salt their "guaranteed exchange rates" quite a lot, so it will be interesting to see how much they tack on for these very volatile assets.

Yes and no.

It would work as ceph node, but I would argue that it doesn't fit the bill since you should have ~1gb mem per tb storage. If your load is low you can do with less and you could potentially use swap, but it would regularly freeze on you or crash the osd processes depending on your setup.

If however you want to try it you could get raspberry pi 4s and use them over usb3. Get them with decent memory and use spinning rust to host the OS. To have an up to date version of ceph I would suggest using cephadm with podman to get it up and running with good builds.

1) enough memory

2) up to date ceph version

Reminder: cephadm is kinda beta right now

Maybe the odroid hc1 would be better, but I don't have one

The case here is the AGPL though, not the GPL.
To phrase it another way: form is different than function
I don’t think this would be a good idea, since this is also the syntax used by Gmail filters. Excel localizes formulas, which means any kind of example or documentation in a different language than your version of the program is nearly useless to you. Code-ish things work best when you stick to a single, canonical language.

For the German example in the article, would you expect “im:Papierkorb” to work?
Am I correct in that the definition of "freezing" here is private company refuses to do business with marked cash?

And that a private company who is hacked (and was previously the custodian of a customer's tokens) makes it more difficult to retrieve same through its machinery?

Per your link, "Still, by Monday, Elliptic said that hackers had already flipped millions of stolen tokens for $7.5 million in ethereum (ETH) on decentralized exchanges (DEX) Kyber Network and Uniswap."

So the "problem" is that companies are making decisions for themselves (admittedly, approaching the way Google and Apple can make decisions "for themselves"), and that people who were given control of assets are controlling them.

Decentralization seems fine from a protocol perspective, these are just effects of human behavior.
Okay, that's a reasonable universal principle, but in this case it's Inapplicable. To quote the OP:

> Everything is a rush and quality is required but never budgeted for.

It doesn't really sound like this is a situation where the principle is wrong, it sounds like this is proving the principle correct: you get what you pay for.
Regeneron has 300,000 doses and plans on making hundreds of thousands more in a short time period.

If it’s as effective as Trump’s experience has shown, this could have the potential of saving many or most of the US deaths going forward.
Julia is dynamic. I've described this before, but the type annotations are used for multiple dispatch, not for static type checking.

The quick example of why this is powerful is multiplication:
# Assume you only have addition defined

# Quick and dirty baseline
function *(l::T, r::T) where {T<:Int}
out = 0
while l > 0
out += r
l -= 1
end
out
end

# Great, now let's say you have a data type, rational numbers:
struct Rational{T<:Int}
numerator::T
denominator::T
end

# And you want to define multiplication on rational numbers
*(l::Rational, r::Rational) = Rational(l.numerator * l.numerator, l.denominator * l.denominator)

# Cool, but multiplying Ints by rational number should also be defined
*(l::Rational, r::Int) = Rational(l.numerator * r, l.denominator)
*(l::Int, r::Rational) = *(r, l)

The reason this is so cool, and why, yes it's still dynamic,
is that I can call x * y on two variables, x and y, of which I know nothing about. The most specific method defined which matches their type will be called to handle it. If there isn't one defined, that's obviously a method error just like in your favorite other language!
For what it’s worth I’ve used Decentraleyes, which this extension is forked from, for years and have never noticed it break a site.
There are decentralized exchanges, the question is whether they'll see large scale adoption, particularly from less technical astute users.

Also to be successful for the general public, they'll need fiat on and off ramps (at least in the short-->medium term). At the moment most of those go via the centralized exchanges...

Great news! What about long-term impacts, like damage to the lungs or heart?

We'll likely have a cohort of patients, like "Americans alive during 2020-2021", that'll be greatly impacted by health issues as they get older if we don't figure out how to mitigate long-term impacts.

Yes, some of them did. But I always explained these reasons openly and told remote people if they wanted to come into the office, they would make more.
The intent of my third point is that you should expect a decent proportion of the operations to be handled well by the ORM such that you can reap efficiency benefits from the abstraction. If you're spending a significant amount of time jumping out of the ORM's sandpit and into custom queries, the benefit of the ORM may be limited. And to the extent that it dictates/influences your table structures, it might be a hindrance.
So the remaining question is, has the virus changed (mutated) to be less deadly, or have masks lessened the viral load on initial infection enough to give the immune system a better chance of fighting it off, or have treatments become that much more effective? Or a combination of the above?
>In my view it is a good thing to prove the model wrong, because so many people take extreme moral and political stances on account of the model being accurate.

But this wouldn't affect thoses stances (in either direction). An EMH advocate can just (rightly) say, "Markets are efficient up to the limits of computation speed." Those same limits apply to anyone else's attempt to correct the market, so it doesn't validate view based on its negation either.

I'm very glad fewer people are dying, but

Most people didn't die with Polio... they were somehow crippled for life... I suspect the same is true with Covid-19.

We need to eliminate it, not manage it.
It depends how deeply you want to get involved in all this stuff. I used to have a Synology box and it was great in terms of plug'n'play: you set it up via a nice web UI and it... just works! It also has downloadable plugins/apps that let you bolt interesting functionality onto the NAS.

By comparison this Odroid box comes with Ubuntu preinstalled and that's it. Much more flexibility, but much more work involved too.
there are benefits to running ZFS on even a single drive, so yes.

"The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw once said: 'England and America are two countries divided by a common language'"

As a non American english speaking British person, the americanisation of our language continues to irk me. It's a constant situation of scrolling down localisation dropdowns triyng to find out if my locale or language, is 'English (UK)' or 'British' or 'Great Britain' or 'United Kingdom'[1], or simply not even there with just 'English' listed (which of course is US English). Then to add more salt to the wound, I'll find a dropdown that is in Alphabetical order, except for 'United States' which for some reason is pinned to the top.

Because we Brits share a language with the US, and because most software is written by americans, or by people who learnt american english as a second language, our language is being steadily eroded. If it were any other language being abused, there would be campaigns to stop it happening.

[1] No, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom are not the same, and are therefore not interchangable.
Browsers are already bloated as it is, why not just add all those "popular" libraries to the browser and make things local fetch by default? No, i'm not talking browser extensions because that would require users to proactively install something for a webmaster (yeah, i said "webmaster", i don't care if it shows my age)...I'm talking about integrating the top X most implemented javascript libraries into the browser itself...why not just do that i wonder?

I'm half-winking as i state this (bloated aspect) because i give much respect to browser makers for all that browsers actually do/have to do for us when rendering web experiences. So, i don't take adding even more stuff into browsers as a simply, hand-wavy thing to consider. But I also wonder if these libraries do in fact provide such helpful (and ubiquitous) utilities, why not incorporate them into the default - what is called - ecmascript?
Here's the Scala Spark style guide: https://github.com/MrPowers/spark-style-guide

The chispa README also provides a lot of useful info on how to properly write PySpark code: https://github.com/MrPowers/chispa

Scala is easier than Python for Spark because it allows functions with multiple argument lists and isn't whitespace sensitive. Both are great & Spark is a lot of fun.

Some specific notes:

> Doing a select at the beginning of a PySpark transform, or before returning, is considered good practice

Manual selects ensure column pruning is performed (column pruning only works for columnar file formats like Parquet). Spark does this automatically and always manually selecting may not be practical. Explicitly pruning columns is required for Pandas and Dask.

> Be careful with joins! If you perform a left join, and the right side has multiple matches for a key, that row will be duplicated as many times as there are matches

When performing joins, the first thing to think about is if a broadcast join is possible. Joins on clusters are hard. Then it's good to think about using a data stores that allows for predicate pushdown aggregations.
This is I think primarily related to transaction boundaries and tracking changes. You can read https://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/unitOfWork.html as a starting reference. I haven't heard this phrase much lately to be honest. ;)

In 'typical' Java application (since many comments here as well as the original article mentions Hibernate...) you will likely use annotations like @Transactional to mark your transaction boundaries (likely with default propagation and isolation levels...) and then Hibernate will track any changes ('dirty checking') to objects you asked him to fetch and then at the end the transaction Hibernate will issue whatever DML commands (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) needs to be issued in an appropriate order.

In a galaxy far, far away i.e. before Java 1.5 instead using @Transactional you would maybe use (write) some object like TransactionManager which provides an execute() method that receives a block of code in a form of a interface implementation (no closures for you!). This part is relatively straightforward. Tracking changes in any semi-automatic way was always messy...
So, I'm typically not a lover of ORMs as they're typically implemented, and tend to also favor doing something close to the sproc-based method that Philip-J-Fry proposes in another comment.

It's always struck me as odd that, as a profession, we generally agree with, and can be quite fanatical about, the idea that different modules and services should try to hide their implementation details as much as possible, and instead speak over well-defined, constrained protocols such as APIs or interfaces; but as soon as an SQL database comes into the mix, we happily throw all that hard-earned discipline out the window and go back to directly swizzling the internal state of external collaborators.

That said, there are some use cases where I'm not sure how you get around something like an ORM. One is when you need to allow users to execute arbitrary searches against the data. If that's your situation, then, any way you cut it, you're going to end up with some system that takes an abstract representation of a query and compiles it to SQL. The only question is if you want to use something off-the-shelf to do it, or if you'd rather hack it together yourself. In my experience, there are few things on this earth that present a greater maintenance burden than a homegrown ORM-type library does once the original author has moved on to other things.

And there are others where avoiding an ORM is over-engineering. If your database is just an honest entity store, and you're just doing fairly straightforward CRUD operations against it, and it belongs to a single application, go ahead and punch the easy button and have a happy life.
The tether thing is less of a joke than you think. There is nothing preventing them to do exactly that. If you corner a BTC fanatic, they will often admit so themselves, but will claim it is no different than a central bank printing money or a regular bank doing fractional reserve banking.

There is plenty of circumstantial evidence that the tether supply is strongly correlated to BTC (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3195066), and at this point you have to take it as a point of faith that all the tether in circulation truly comes from fiat deposits. On the regulatory side, crypto currencies are very much like going back to the days of Wild West finance, random hold-ups included.
This is a great insight. My company recently started working with agricultural analysts, and your example about moving averages is spot on. Initially, they also wanted the “magic” of NNs, and fortunately, after several prototypes, they understood that what they need is much simpler. As a result, after a couple of years, we’re starting to actually apply those NNs productively, having solved the simpler problems.

suggests that ipv6 is here to replace the rfc1918 space but "the internet" largely remains ipv4.

the high v6 penetration in mobile networks likewise suggests that smartphones are generally not a part of the network as much as dedicated leaf nodes that require no inbound connections.
If Google started behaving like you envision, the community could always fork the last known good version of Chromium.

When not using Firefox I'm using an ungoogled version of Chromium (from the Woolys site) I didn't see much difference with the original Chrome.

Anyway as the recent news showed, Mozilla's management is extremely wasteful of their resources. If the project was just paying devs to work on Firefox, much less money would be needed and if needed the whole thing could probably be funded by donations.
