Some perspective would be nice.

When you tell your buyers to go grab every last bit of PPE they can and cut them a blank cheque to do it of course you're not going to get the best price, especially when every other country in the world is doing the same things.

Do you focus on the 10s of millions of pieces delivered successfully? Absolutely not, get the tinfoil and red yarn out, we'll dig up something questionable. I've seen some other countries equipping medical staff in bin liners and gaffer tape, on reflection we have it pretty good.

I wouldn't focus too much on that--at least for yourself. You won't necessarily get an mRNA vaccine. The first two vaccines are mRNA based, but there are a bunch of others right behind it that aren't. The Oxford vaccine isn't and cheaper to produce. Since the Pfizer vaccine has all of the logistical issues with temperature storage (it not only has to be transported at -20 degrees F, it has to come to room temp before injecting) it will probably only get used at designated sites for people with higher priority. I heard someone say most non first-world countries likely won't bother with the Pfizer vaccine at all.

I believe Pfizer and Moderna are mRNA based vaccines. The Oxford and Russia's Sputnik V are adenovirus vector vaccine.

I'm interested in mainly back-end or systems work, but the most important thing to me is having a good team with a strong engineering culture. Would love to learn something new - a functional language or maybe Rust.

Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.

Take care!

That's an interesting perspective. I've actually had the virus. I'm interested to see what the differential outcome of having the virus and having the vaccination is.

So Go got it right by calling it panic/recover instead of throw/catch? Should we petition other languages to also change the keywords and correct whatever is wrong with throw/catch? Is Pythons raise/except safe or did they miss it when they cleaned up the master/slave mess?
You don't need function pointers. Just call the functions directly. The problem isn't the switch/if, it's the complete lack of structure.
Why do the reasons matter ? And why no one believes you when you invoke cultural reasons or simple lack of affinity ?
I fail to see how this is bad design?
There effectively is a freedom of disassociation, except maybe at the margins.

Part of the question might be "should business owners be forced to serve all their customers equally?". I suspect the question is moot and business owners themselves were likely against segregation to a solid majority. Having two entrances looks expensive as does having a decorative wall or different systems to deal with certain customers. Businessmen who choose not to serve customers will exist, but they will be rare. As strategies go, "let's not have customers!" is a loser.

Racist business owners would be common. Business owners who let that get in the way of making money would be much less so. Greed is a great equaliser.

In VS you can press Alt+F12 to peak the function, no need to jump back and forth. Regardless, programming in that way requires that the functions adhere to SRP and a clear name can be written.

Hi,
author here!

I wrote that post two years ago and at least in 2 environment, there was no sandbox or under Docker. I remember that I found an interesting environment that an interesting script.

The script parsed the input file and then chose if it could be compiled or not. Well, it's really easy to circumvent that.

In 2020, I would be impressed to see someone shipping such application without sandbox/VM.
Nevertheless, all these are legitimate things if viewed from a different perspective.

As a driver I like to have a platform to list my own services an independent way at instead of applying for a job at a transportation company. And as a passenger I like to be able to hire an individual driver. I don't want a taxi company nor the Uber company, just a private individual + a convenience website where I can find one.

As a traveler I don't want a fancy hotel, let alone a shitty one - I prefer a decent room or a bed in an ordinary private home.

If only Uber and AirBnB were just doing their job connecting individuals rather than trying to conquer the markets for themselves I would certainly be on their side.
"Wi-Fi Direct allows two devices not already on the same network to establish an encrypted peer-to-peer Wi-Fi network, using WPS to bootstrap a WPA2-encrypted ad-hoc network.

Apple's AWDL doesn't require peers to already be on the same network to establish a peer-to-peer connection, but unlike Wi-Fi Direct, AWDL has no built-in encryption."

I have always wondered why Apple does not enable WiFi Direct so we can have peer-to-peer connections via WiFi Direct between Android and iOS phones.
It is interesting how this news somehow leaks days before the real news is released...

We tried Slack in the early days. No way we could run that across the entire business. It was clear back with Slack being then a cloud based, Electron based, lacking of MS Office integration, lacking Active directory integration a Microsoft me too offering would take all the market share. I’m surprised they didn’t do more to address this. Obviously Covid has massively accelerated Teams adoption too but it was a no brainer for businesses running Office 365.
Isn't the point to be able to produce more performance at lower clock speeds, using OOB execution, paralellism, to use less energy and produce less heat?

Since there is an upper bound of clock speeds that can be done at room temperature, and high clock speed produce tons of heat. But this article is like OMG 5GHz!!!!

I don't see Apple selling their chips to Microsoft anytime soon. Apple Silicon is a huge part of the value proposition for Apple devices, allowing them to achieve a combination of performance, battery life and form factor that other manufacturers just can't do.
Corporate Reporting in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
You can’t just build a better developer when a single mistake is end game. Even if you do everything right you can still run into problems.

The reason for that is because large projects can’t have only one developer. As soon as you have multiple developers you have a problem. What happens when two developers begin working on the same base commit. Developer A makes a change to remove a contractual behavior that is not relied upon. Developer B makes a change that relies on this contractual behavior. Both changes are correct on their own, could very well pass code review simultaneously, and then both merge without conflicts. And then your last life line is whatever guarantees you have via static analysis, etc. (notably, this could still fail in a memory safe language if there aren’t any safe guards for this particular logic bug. Nothing is a panacea. Having more tools to write safer code, though, can at least help prevent some of these cases.)

That’s assuming everyone is perfect and has unlimited time to write perfectly sound code always. And it still fails.

You point to Rust but nobody said it had to be Rust. Still, just because Rust is not a panacea does not mean it has no value. On the contrary, while there has been decades to hone practices for secure C, Rust is a relative newcomer and obviously shows a ton of promise. It and other new memory safe languages are very likely to take a bite out of C usages where security is important. You can embrace this or deny it... but if you think it’s not happening, you should definitely take a look at the writing on the wall, because it’s certainly there. On the other hand, there are also other approaches. I believe seL4 is doing C code with proofs of correct operation. (Admittedly, I do not fully understand what guarantees this gives you and how, but it sounds promising based on descriptions. There could still be bugs in the proofs, but it certainly raises the bar.)

From the cite: "everybody’s parents had the fucking thing"

I guess I'm slightly different. My dad had "Herb Alpert's 9th" and I loved that album. Of course, his copy was ruined by the time I inherited it, and I trolled store after store for years looking for it. Finally, I found a mint copy still in the shrink wrap in the back for a couple bucks.

I had my prize!

Of course, collecting these things isn't fun anymore because anything you want is just a click away.
These are per-city rules in much of the US, but the limo companies that Uber was originally subcontracting to had to meet similar requirements in San Francisco as what tou describe. Booking is just the test that was used to determine which set of regulations apply to any given compan. For example, taxi supply was artifically constrained by a medallion system, but there was no such limit on the number of limos allowed to operate.

(Past tense b/c I don’t live there anymore and am not up-to-date with current developments)

They certainly have used the loophole you describe extensively, but that started later, once they were sure there were no repurcussions for the limo dodge.

Almost all of those are due to code in unsafe blocks. In other words, not safe rust.

A few are cryptographic errors. No argument there, Rust won't save you from that.

FWIW Rust does badly need a standardized unsafe-block auditing mechanism. Like "show me all the unsafe blocks in my code or any of the libraries it uses, except the standard library". If that list is too long to read, that's a bug in your project.

Because it's hard for a state to justify and defend itself if populations are separated on clear lines. Thus, the state must enforce some sort homogeneity which will lead to better population mood and patriotism.
Well if we are going to characterize our ideas instead of debating them I think I can call you extraordinarily disingenuous too.
Well your anecdote doesn't seem to support your argument.

Google is the one paying all those researchers at Project Zero, Apple doesn't seem to have that kind of security group, and yet you still buy/recommend Apple instead of Android.

I am sure it can move some people, but the reality is that this kind of effort is so down the list of priorities when buying for most people that it is certainly not worth $1B per year.
> Hogan Lovells attorneys James McGovern and Michael Hefter initially asked for a $25,000 retainer in late 2018 when they first met with their client. Fowler only ever paid the retainer, and two years later, he now owes them $600,000.

This sounds like the fault of the lawyers, to be honest. Football players are notorious for being bad with money and often end up broke. That they didn't request payment for 2 years and bought his stories is crazy.

The differences between HTTPS, SSL, and TLS
The actual reason why you see linked lists (and similar pointer-chasing data structures) so much in old code is because the entire problem of slow-vs-fast memory accesses didn't exist back then. Memory access always happened in a fixed and very low number of CPU cycles (the entire RAM essentially had L1 cache performance). The cpu-memory-gap only slowly started to widen during the 90's when CPU frequencies started to skyrocket and caches had to be added to CPUs. Unfortunately this problem still isn't as widely recognized as it should be in high-level programming circles even today.
The idiomatic error handling mechanism of Java is the checked exception. This mechanism does not work with higher order functions.

You can emulate Rust's approach with Java, by creating what is essentially a sum type like Result. You'd have to enforce that any access to its content must also handle the error case, and I don't really know how to do that generally. There are various hacks, like having a bespoke sum type for that particular operation that twrows a particular exception on access to its content. But that gets really old, really fast.
Speed and temperature are intensive properties, they don't add up. You can remove the unit and do whatever you want mathematically and add back the physical unit, but it's not physics. Average temperature has no meaning it's a common fallacy, the only reason I ever got for that meaning is "my teacher told me it was OK !"
I'd also be interested to know whether mRNA vaccine, in hijacking the body's own cells then training the immune system to attack them, carries extra risk for those with autoimmune disorders i.e. people whose immune systems already have an unfortunate tendency to attack themselves.

I'm sure this has all been thought about by relevant experts but I'd like to see the published research.

Mocking is a Code Smell (2017)
I think it's awesome. This is likely another of those passion project that, might draw in some overzealous on-watchers, not really become anything usable in the end, but still be incredibly valuable for the greater ecosystem.

It points out how some things has gone unconsidered in the "status quo", but rather then just rant about it, shows how it can be different.

It might put some lesser known code bases into the public eye.

It might iron out compatibility issues with e.g. the linux kernel and "the good parts" of POSIX/unix-philosophy. Which is why I like Alpine and Voidlinux for being such complete systems, without hard dependencies on GNU-components (I think the GNU project, especially many of the individual code bases, are awesome as well).

And while there are benefits of both statically linked applications, an dynamic linking, I do find it for the best if that can be a realistic choice of the user, whatever program of library you want to use. And most big applications simplu can't be totally statically linked as of now.

It's a form of "greenfield project", but still leveraging existing components.
What I learned in 1 month of web development
Function length shouldn't be based on philosophy. Decide on a case by case basis. Start small and keep adding functionality until you find a way to divide the function along some sensible boundary. Generally you can say that long functions contain more functionality and the more functionality you have the higher the probability that functionality can be extracted into it's own function.

As you said, organizing code is an art form. There are no hard and fast rules, only your own judgement and experience.
I guess, for GDPR purposes, they would need to show why they can't provide the service without privacy invasion.

It's more than likely that unless you are in an at risk group, or work in healthcare etc you won't be getting the vaccine until many more people have it first.

Tech jobs in Italy are ok, the only real tech hub is Milano, and the pay is fine, not high as other EU countries, but the cost of living is also lower, while I think the quality of life is better (based on my priorities). There are good startups (especially in Milano), but I think the majority of the companies are still with an oldschool mindset, so that might not be too attractive. I know of a lot of companies that I would be glad to work for, with agile mindset, nice culture and good technology stacks, but they are maybe 5% or less of the all the software companies.

I have learned Elixir about four years ago, coming from Ruby, and haven't looked back since. Of course, when the domain or the nature of the problem at hand requires different technologies, I use other stuff (python, c, go, etc.), but for most of the stuff I work on, I find Elixir to be a great fit. I don't want to go in too much detail, but if you're considering learning Elixir to find a job, you won't have trouble finding jobs, but other languages might get you there faster and open more doors. If you want to learn a new technology that will influence the way you develop and think, and show you a whole new way of solving some problems (I can't stand concurrency in any other language after working in elixir/erlang) I think Elixir is a great choice.
Thank you. Your argument makes sense.
This is a good move on Intel side, they cant just take a risk of delaying 7nm further. AMD is giving competetion to them and they have lost Apple, one of their biggest customer.

But if they are going with TSMC why not 5nm instead of 7nm.
For a 1 hour process why not just launch an instance ? You can also probably use a spot instance to be even cheaper.
It's a good question. I would focus on helping the 50% of mentally stable homeless first, since many of those just need a temporary bridge to normalcy (fixed mailing address, Internet, shower, methadone, etc.)

Just speaking in general of how the long-term rent subsidy works in SF, you can research further starting with:

1) STEM workers can reinvent their careers fairly easily, but for most other people, it's very unlikely switching careers will work later in life.

So when plants or mines close, social workers generally try to get them on long-term disability status (see below.) So we would have to work on that as a society.

2) a lot would be single moms, who automatically qualify for various subsidies

3) a lot would be people who figured out how to get on long-term disability, whether physical or mental. This becomes a retirement plan, regardless of how young they started.

Only around 50% - 60% of employable adults work these days. You may read that unemployment is in the 5% range, but that's just the "U" measures.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm

You can get a glimpse of that in the fact that we're in a corona lockdown, but there's been minimal apparent effect on our economy so far - bacause a large percent of the population wasn't working in the first place.

All of this relates to the fact that America is so weak on policy that SF can spend $300 million a year on homeless, but has no plan to do anything about it. The only groups with a sustained agenda are the public unions, who spend $1 billion/year to get their way.

I might do a website in 2021 because things in writing are more actionable than sound bites.
