No, this is valid in languages with nullable types:

String s = null;

But this is not legal in languages without them:

String s = None;

In those languages, in order to have a value of None, it must be of type Option<String> (or whatever the syntax is), and in order to get a value of type String, you must assert its presence.

This is a fundamental difference with many ramifications. It really isn't just "the same but with better compile support".
> The 'indirect pointer' points to the memory address of the previous 'next' (or the head).

I don't think so. I think the 'indirect pointer' points to the previous 'next' (or the head). It doesn't point to the address of the previous 'next' (or the head). What you say is adding an additional level of indirection that doesn't exist.

Reality:

indirect -> previous next -> first element

What you're saying:

indirect -> address of previous next -> previous next -> first element

In reality indirect contains the address of the previous next, but it doesn't point to the address of the previous next.
Be careful with hydrogen peroxide though. In researching it, I found a bunch of papers describing how hydrogen peroxide will permeate many different human tissues and then kill a wide variety of human cells, some of which don’t regenerate. For example, chondrocytes, the cells that produce/maintain cartilage.

Scared me off from using hydrogen peroxide as a wart treatment, even though it was having promising effects.

I help out as a maintainer for an open source machine learning group, and first learned about the switch in Travis CI's policy from your blog. Not too long after, the projects the groups repository owns all got switched over to Github Actions. I know that especially for folks that have many smaller projects, there's a lot of overhead in switching, but I really did appreciate your alerting people to the upcoming change through a different venue, as I'm sure it saved us some pain.

> The only people who do whaling in Canada are the First Nations

That makes things worse. You're defending something like a couple of million people for killing 4510 whales, while vilifying a country of 125 million for killing 2080 whales.

So, (a) it makes no difference to the intelligent creatures whether they are killed in the name of "science" or "traditional ways" (b) whales have extensive ranges, so going where they live vs. waiting for them to come to you are both just as bad, and (c) there is enough scientific reason for everyone to stop killing whales.
This may be a bit sudden. But instead of heaping scorn on them, I just feel grateful for the millions they must have invested in OSS. It's unlikely they are out to hurt anybody. I'd guess the vast majority of people there, now and in the past, would love to be able to continue doing so.

So, if anyone can come up with the name for whoever bought them, a sale that was probably done with little alternatives already, then hate those peoples with all you got, got ahead[1].

But don't take it out on the people that helped you all those years. Not even if they screwed up the endgame by, maybe, being too optimistic for a week too long.

[1]: But not too many death threats, maybe. Even just for purely selfish reasons, one wouldn't want commitments to OSS become a poison pill that makes any company providing such services toxic to investors.
These countries you mention are vastly different in terms of population size and geography.

Also, pretending that there are no costs associated with strict lockdowns is terribly flawed.
If that is truly the result then I what comes from this will be a lot more young companies and competition at the startup level- if you can't pull in a reasonable tech salary why bother making someone else rich?

BTW there’s also liquid feed gas stoves:

These can use the gas canister upside down, taking in the liquid gas and running it through the flame to evaporate it. These work pretty well in cold (I have used one in –10 C) and have the usual advantages of a gas stove, ie. simple construction and clean operation.

Reticle limited on Samsung 8nm means plenty of room is available on TSMC 5nm.

Also, GDDR does not have appreciably higher latencies than DDR memory when measured in nanoseconds. It's just more expensive than DDR and much more limited in terms of capacity.

If Apple does go the "huge SoC" route I'd expect to see HBM2 memory with socketed DDR4 or DDR5. It'd provide the best of both worlds - extremely high bandwidth and low latency for a small portion (say 32-64GB) of the memory, and high capacity for the rest (say 1-2TB), all without compromising the unified memory concept.

This is not without precedent - recent Xeon Phis, for all their other shortcomings, have had a similar memory hierarchy.

The Czech Republic and Bulgaria had harder/more restrictive lockdowns during the entire year compared to my country (Romania) and yet they have a death-rate higher than ours. Indeed, they managed to ride the first wave pretty much unscathed, but the second one looks like it hit both of them comparatively harder than it hit us.
I disagree: overdoses in 2018 killed 259, in 2019 it killed 441, so I don't think it was really surprising to get around 550 for this year.
In Rust, you would implement From<ErrorA> and From<ErrorB> for a custom Error enum defined in your application/library. This will allow you to convert any ErrorA or ErrorB into Error.

Then, you could simply return Result<Integer, Error> from your function, and the conversion would happen for you behind the scenes.

Of course, unless you track the original error types, you will lose some information. But it’s a very clean way to handle multiple error types within your library imo.

An example of how this works: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/error/multiple_err...
The biggest hindrance to good engineering is everyone not knowing everything. I know that sounds stupid. But I can't explain enough to most developers why they need to understand how to safely deploy database changes before they can even consider writing an application that uses a database. And I can't explain enough to the architects why the developers need to be given agency and options and allowed to make their own decisions and just implement what works. Both seem to be lacking critical insight and so we always end up with slightly-crappy things that work just enough to "ship", and spend the rest of the time trying to shore up why it always breaks.

I tried a lot. I spent a good amount of time searching for what the restrictions were in my city. I found news articles describing restrictions, but I wasn't able to locate primary sources or a way to keep updated.

Even with the link you sent me, that site gives no indication that it's a way to get updates on pandemic-related news and restrictions. It seems to just be an emergency subscription. What other messages does it send that aren't described in the FAQs?
You're getting the cause and effect backwards. Private equity generally buys companies that are already in rough shape and tries to turn them into something profitable (which often means a lot of cost cutting). That's an important part of the ecosystem. If anyone's harming society it's the VC ecosystem that gets companies hooked on free money and encourages them to burn it as fast as possible, blocking sustainable businesses from playing in that space.
Tax cuts came years before Tesla’s stock started soaring, so probably an unrelated happening. It’s pretty much only this year where Tesla’s stock started to rise so dramatically.

As an extreme example I'm reminded of this south korean ferry disaster where 304 passengers died:

> As Sewol began sinking, the ferry's intercom system started ordering the passengers to stay put, alleging that moving was dangerous. The announcements were made by a communication officer, Kang Hae-seong, who had not consulted the manual before the broadcast. The announcements began broadcasting by at least 8:52 a.m. and continued even when water began flooding passenger compartments. Other crew members corroborated this order, instructing passengers to stay put. Captain Lee also instructed passengers to stay put and did not change the order even as he was leaving the ship.

> The first emergency call was made by Choi Duk-ha, a Danwon High School student aboard the ferry. At 8:52 a.m., he called the national emergency service number and reported to the Jeollanam-do fire station that Sewol was capsizing.

Europe had hard lockdowns. Not China-hard, but pretty hard. Cases surged again.

You mentioned Asia. I saw this headline today:

"South Korea's Health Minister Describes Seoul As A 'COVID-19 War Zone'"

By US standards, their case count is still incredibly low. The point is they haven't actually been able to contain it, either; they're just acting sooner and more aggressively for the second wave. Apparently New Zealand still has single digit cases most days.

If "half-assed 'wear a mask and social distance if you want'" kept the r0 below 1, lockdown or not, new cases would drop.

What's scarier is that the Bay Area, with ubiquitous masks, good-ish weather, partial closures, and lower population wasn't even able to keep new cases down.

I know I'm being the "[citation needed]" guy again, but the COVID-19 case numbers in the United States just don't seem like they support this optimistic take. If it were true, we should be closer to the median -- if not below it -- then we are.

I'm not honestly sure where you're going with the Prohibition comparison; your anecdotal examples seem to be "they're telling you to follow these restrictions but they're not following them themselves," which, okay, I guess, but they're still just anecdotes. Is this "they TOLD us not to have liquor during Prohibition, but there were county commissioners who were SNEAKING INTO SPEAKEASIES!"? I mean, sure, probably, but the comparison kind of breaks down at that point. Prohibition was based on a puritanical moral panic; our current pandemic-era lockdowns are based on a very real, highly contagious lethal disease.

>> Europe had hard lockdowns. Not China-hard, but pretty hard. Cases surged again.

Well yeah, after the first wave people threw all caution to the wind and decided to go back to their old habits. So of course cases are surging again.

Bob Marley answers this dilemma:

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for."

To some degree or another, everything sucks and complexity is unavoidable. You just have to find the type of complexity you're willing to live with.

That being said --

I suppose if you're used to that kind of complicated stuff and used to typing out the boiler plate code, it doesn't seem quite so inscrutible. Tedious, but it doesn't blow up in your face.

It's like I had a hard time understanding the strategy pattern the first time I saw it, especially when generics were involved. It felt mind bending.

Now I happily use it and it's all straightforward. The formerly intellectually difficult parts are now autopilot for me. And it's a hell of a lot less stressful than adding another set of random if statements to an important code path.

And keep in mind many of these phrases are very fancy ways of something that makes intuitive sense if you're familiar with it.

For those who are getting confused about the S and K combinators, another definition is implied by the notion of a 'partial combinatory algebra' [1]. It is a set A together with a partial map A x A -> A, viewed as 'application'. You then require the S and K combinators to exist somewhere in A (they are non-unique) and you can prove things like the recursion theorem.

I grew up in Toronto. I'm aware of the safety disparity but nevertheless I still think this is a nice place. There are also places in Toronto that I wouldn't go to.

Your assertion was that SF is not a nice place. Those neighborhoods are what SF is to many people, including myself. To me, SF is a nice place with bad parts. To you, it seems to be a bad place with nice parts.
