Patents actually are not supposed to be available for processes! That was something invented by the courts (in 1998: State Street Bank & Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group). Congress has passed no legislation regarding process/business method patents and software patents are a further extension of business method patents.

The core of the problem is method patents to begin with. I think everyone here pretty much agrees at this point that software patents shouldn't exist but really, why should any process/method patent exist?

Most of the arguments against software patents also apply to business method patents. I say do away with both.

> means you have resigned to believe the corporate/government spin on everything.

Interesting paper but I'm not convinced that these are asymptomatic cases. I think these are primarily recovered cases that still have trace amounts of non-infectious viral RNA.

The originally linked Lancet paper makes a distinction between "viral shedding" and "viral RNA shedding". I think the unanswered question involves individuals in the first week of their newly acquired infection (EDIT: after the incubation period). I hope that doesn't come across as nit picking; the scale and scope of the Wuhan study is impressive but an equivalent study is needed in an area with ongoing community transmission.

I agree with you. I wouldn't blindly recommend my stack to everyone, one could argue it's probably even overkill for my SaaS project right now. At this scale I could get away with a couple of $20/mo instances, and call it a day.

However, it just made sense for me due to the simplified operations, and re-using most of the learnings from my full-time job. It has enabled me to move faster in shipping customer-facing features.

If I wanted to start a new project, I can leverage the same stack and be up and running in minutes. Which means I can take advantage of my cumulative efforts for any future project.

It's definitely not for everyone as you said, but it might be a good solution for many :)

The penalties may be more severe depending on the circumstances, but that doesn't change one's rights. For example, assaulting a police officer in the performance of their duties might be aggravated assault, but a normal person would just be assault. The act itself is a crime, the victims both had harm done, but the grading is different.

What this law says is that these protected people have a right to privacy, but the general population does not. This is not right, and I believe this is an equal protection violation.

I absolutely believe it. The main thing you have to take care of is the community spread and that's easy to control if you can control the community and that's pretty easy for the chinese government.

With this I'm more excited about ARM on servers.

> I mean I've worked with Windows for multiple generations of the operating system, and once the internet became a thing it was just complete shit. I had a side job fixing computers for people, and it was always adware, viruses, etc messing things up.

Windows 10 isn't perfect but it's a much different time than multiple generations ago with Windows 95 / 98, XP or even 7.

Back then you could visit a site and end up needing to format because of a virus, even if you were very much into tech.

Nowadays even if you disable Windows Defender and any active AV tool, it's pretty unlikely you'll get yourself to the point where you need to format due to a virus or some adware.

This is speaking from the perspective of someone who has been using Windows since the mid 1990s.

I think it's related to risk-aversion of investors in EU. While spitting out millions of dollars anything with a slight chance of success is common in the US (and to some degree in UK apparently), EU investors are much more conservative in their spending, which affects the valuation of these companies.

Some great points, with climate changing it may be possible to grow citrus in Kansas anyway, so it's worth a shot. The only thing that bothers me is if it is not done with care, you could introduce new pests into a region by transplanting. (e.g. bad nematodes as a fore mentioned)

> If you're an engineer or web developer I really suggest that you brush up on these things

I’m doing ok, thanks, and a little humility would go a long way :)

I work at a company where we run PHP as both a shared-memory server and also in a more traditional per-request model, both serving millions of requests a day. Separately I’ve created (and maintain) a 200-thousand-line multi-threaded PHP application with over 4 million downloads. I’m reasonably aware of PHP’s performance characteristics.

I’m less up-to-date on Node, admittedly, but it also intuitively makes sense that the V8 engine will be optimised more for in-browser use than serverside use.
If you listen to interviews with Apple’s chip team, they talk about optimizing performance of the M1 based on how Mac OS works. An example is how they handle allocation and deal location of objects. Objective-C and Swift using this a lot for loops and for their reference count memory garbage collection. The M1 is 5x faster than Intel for those operations.

that kind of optimization between hardware and software can have a big impact and is part of Apple secret sauce.
BiondVax recently finished their phase 3 trial of a universal flu vaccine. It was 15 years in the making. Science was (still is solid). Phase 3 took two years to account for ADE and other safety issues.

At the 1-year mark, everything looked perfect. At the towo years mark (original endpoint) the conclusion was that while it was safe, it offered statistically insignificant protection.

Properly designed tests need those 2 years, at the very least. The “SAFE” confidence axis was compromised. Whether or nit it is justified is what we’re discussing here.

Another, somewhat related issue is the fragmenting of teams. Having a few in-house devs, an outsourced team in Argentina, and a few other contractors, all coordinated by non-technical managers.

> I'm a bit against using cargo

Sure and that's fine, but the original comment wasn't clear that they were waiting for homebrew to ship an arm64 version of Rust. The phrasing made it sound like Rust itself was the aspect blocking those tools from working. That's the point I was addressing.

> not system-wide installs

rustup installs Rust into your home directory by default, and then `cargo install` follows suit, so it's not system-wide.
Interestingly enough, a story about government corruption was recently censored by major social media companies.
> Would anyone in rural China tell a government surveyor they were dissatisfied with their government-supplied job? I doubt it.

Of course they would if they can. Those are two different governments: the government-supplied job is supplied by the local government, while the surveyor is sent by the provincial or central government. Complaining to them about the local government is an opportunity to have the central government step in and rectify the issue.

Of course local governments know that as well, and to avoid having people tell on them, they use all kinds of tricks to deceive the surveyors. Depthpaper magazine published an investigative report last year https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/hXPd-mFNnnxQheR7tB64WQ on a particular case where the local government was ordered to stop trying to interfere (so their deception failed). One thing they did was to find out in advance which households would be visited, and then they handed out various goods bought in advance, to make it look like that family had been enjoying a relatively high standard of living for quite some time.

Since the central government's success rate at detecting cheating local governments is probably not that high, I expect that there are still a lot of counties that are officially above the poverty line but actually still below it.
Oddly though there’s about 20 replies expecting developers of OSS code get a free Switch or some personal thank you from Nintendo.

I’d personally be satisfied contributing to the world of software so broadly. That’s why you do open source, making the worlds software better for everyone.

Monetizing something called ‘safe buffer’, or even to the point of pushing for a freebie and a thank you card on social media, seems silly to me (which I don't think OP was doing, only in the replies).

If it was some commercial license for a small Node library, which they had every right to choose, it would have probably died in obscurity anyway. And what good does that do the software world.

Meanwhile getting to say your code is used by Nintendo Switch on your resume, or bragging rights to your nephew or whomever, seems more than enough to me. Part of the hacker ethos.

SaaS business single founder here, moved from a mix of GCP's Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, and Compute Engine to DO's managed Postgres and Kubernetes, and it has had the follow effects:

- Much cheaper, reducing bill from >100$/month to ~40$. Important for early stage startups
- More performance, easier scaling. Found that my application was much better suited to run in K8S, but this is definitely specific to my use-case
- Consolidation of resources. Except Postgres/Redis, everything is in my cluster, simplifying management and maintenance

For my business, this was a great move, but as others have said, I wouldn't recommend it to everyone. K8S is a great and powerful tool, but also is very complex.
Understanding Core Web Vitals
These are semantic games. This isn’t talking about no one in poverty. This is the equivalent of the United States saying there are no states in a state of poverty. Would you care to characterize any states as being in a state of poverty? How is it defined for a state to be in poverty? Given this is a government created list that the government promised to finish by the end of 2020 and that no one but the government is capable of validating it, what are the odds this is at least somewhat a political tool rather than a legitimate accomplishment?

Hey there - author of the article here. The research team behind this has a lot of unanswered questions as well, and a lot of...(like you) conjectures about how this may have arisen.

Normally, one should not attribute to malice what can simply be attributed to stupidity or probably laziness here.

Even then, however, it's a bit too suspicious though. Of course, we asked the manufacturers behind these devices for comment and -- surprise! -- no comment. In past experience with Chinese vendors, we've had similar results.

Of course, we'll update with any information we get.

There's a game called Seedship in which you direct a space ship that carries last remaining humans in existence to a new planet that will become their new home.

You go from one planet to the next assessing their suitability. When you decide to settle the game ends.

You can't travel indefinitely because ships systems degrade and people die.

One of the worst fates for me in this game is settling humanity of the world devoid of natural resources.

This causes them to regress to neolithic level of technology and never to progress beyond that.

You can lose a lot of people. They will recover.
You can lose science and culture. They will rebuild it eventually.
But if you land them on a planet without resources... there's no hope for their future.

I do ruby/Rails and not Python, so it may differ.

But while I too had in my head "for web dev most of the real work happens in a database of some flavor", I recently realized that was not true for my app, probably hadn't been true for some time, and probably isn't true of most Rails apps (possibly not the same for non-Rails web apps?). If you've properly eliminated n+1 queries and other inefficient querying, I find that my apps are spending only 20 or 30ms waiting on DB results, and a couple hundred on CPU tasks to render HTML.

I know people are going to reply with "That's because Rails is slow," but I'm not sure that's true for what we're talking about compared to similar Python platforms, I'd be interested in seeing numbers for other real apps. In the Rails community too, people still repeat the assumption "most of your response time is spent waiting on the DB" -- but I dont' think it's actually true anymore (it may have been once).

The major issue with social media right now is that people put an absurd amount of trust into them. It’s a new medium, like radio or TV, which also were major sources of misinformation.

As time goes on, people will put less and less stock into sources of information that have proven faulty in the past.

However, I think this kind of thing takes way longer than anyone thinks, and will play out over many years or decades.

> The whole "cattle not pets" thing is fine once you obtain product market fit and your product needs to scale up. At that point you'll have time and money to do it - before then you're just wasting cycles.

Is this true? At my last company we wasted a bunch of time every week dealing with the accumulation of ad-hoc changes in different environments creating different behavior. When we pivoted to a continuous deployment model (we also moved from EC2 to ECS/Fargate), all of this time went away as did all of the guess-work and fear of deploying to production (because production very rarely deviated from lower environments with respect to behavior, because all environments were reproducible). It also enabled us to stand up whole environments with the press of a button, which made it a lot easier for developers who were interating on infrastructure (we had a lot of async ECS/Lambda workloads). I'm sure if we were smarter or had the right kind of discipline we could have made pet EC2 instances work, but we benefited a lot from moving to cattle/containers.

NOTE: I also suspect that cattle/EC2 is a lot harder than cattle/containers, but that may also just my inexperience with the former. I would really like to know how to do reproducible EC2 instances properly, but from the research I've done, it seems like one has to reinvent a good chunk of Kubernetes.
