They possibly thought based on previous outbreaks in Asian countries that people would see the severity of the problem and that it could be contained enough (and with that likelihood of mutations lowered) until vaccination efforts have reached their threshold. The probably didn't expect that multiple big countries would just let people go about their daily lives normally for a long time and spread the virus in that proportion.
This would be true if the CSS color names were actually reasonable, but many of them are not.

One would be better off using the results [1] of Heer & Stone (2012) [2] (or a similar analysis) to assign names to sRGB colors. You end up with 33 unique names instead of more than 100, and the number of unique names can be reduced further by merging synonyms.

Well done and I hope this pivot plays out well!
You could throw it in a gist to start with.
Interesting interview - thanks John! Didn't know there was a UFS2 "phase" before ZFS... I wonder how much time those fscks took! :-)
I think there was a glimpse of hope for a global effort to not add a new virus to that list, because it's not like we don't have enough of them.

But I always thought that window closed in April 2020 last year when the stance of the majority was to live with the virus, the whole "new normal" campaign. Some thought the virus was slow enough to mutate to still handle it, but they forgot that with millions of people being virus factories it would be a matter of time.
Raw performance isn't everything to everyone. Magnetic disks are still much cheaper than SSDs on a cost/GB basis and will continue to be for a good while yet. They are also more durable for many common workloads. As long as performance can be increased without increasing the cost too much, there will be a market for them.
I think they'll hire people as they would have far more information about the students than anyone else would. They can cherry-pick the top students.
My 3 droplets run my Rust, Quake, gitea, registry, wireguard & pihole combo, traefik, grafana + prometheus with hashicorp nomad & consul. So yeah running an orchestrator for trivial tasks is actually fun, this is a good exercise and just in general a fun thing to do.
We don't know if it's really hard. If it is really hard, I'm tempted to agree with you. That is, if we don't find a mechanism for FTL there's very little to be gained.
So I guess what I should be doing is make fix → magit-blame to get the commit ID for the last prior edit → copy commit ID or message to clipboard → magit commit with `c F`, C-s to the commit ID I just copied, and C-c C-c to set up and run the autosquash rebase.
Android Java is Google's J++ and should be dealt the same way as J++ was.
Solid article.

I'm very much looking into building a non smartphone pocket size internet device with a raspberry pi zero as a base. So I could do something like listen to internet radio, while I walk around my city without worrying about 8000 notifications firing off.

Just a few years ago I used social media and I found myself very angry. I foolishly would argue on Reddit about, for example where I wanted to live. I came to a stunning conclusion, if I decide to move because I like the culture of a different city more, absolutely no one cares. I had to estranged my family over this, but it's 100% worth it since every aspect of my life from my finances, to romance(I only meet people in real life, much less stressful ) has been greatly improved.

A big part of this deletion of my social media, has been humility. I'm not important enough for other people to argue about, I'm not important enough to give someone else the right to tell me I shouldn't do x or I shouldn't do z.

Lost connections, might be the best book on this topic.
I know that a parallel prefix algorithm [1] can be used to calculate fib(n), since we can use repeated matrix multiplications (a formulation appropriate for a prefix sum algorithm). The computation time can be O(n/p + log p), where p is the number of processors. However, I’m not sure what other approaches there are.

even if we reach a herd immunity, won’t the virus just mutate in animals until it is effective against our vaccines?
He deleted them but here is one I found. There was/is quite a bit of chatter about this on a few sites and a simple google search will point you to them. Seems he hit a nerve calling out the Gov and FEDS policies.

>Given that almost none of these "adopters" will ever see the gorilla in question in real life, it seems unreasonably jealous to insist that this organization should forgo funding so that they and they alone can have a financial relationship with this particular gorilla.

I never suggested or hinted at that, just that it was misleading to call it adoption, if they're not granted a kind of "owning" of that relationship, in the sense of that donor is "the" supporter of that gorilla [pair]. If they want to call it "supporting", I wouldn't consider that misleading.
Working at Audius – Reimagine Music with Blockchain
Most of the diseases you list are examples of herd immunity working in developed world communities. People without immunity to them are pretty safe from them.

Herd immunity isn't eradication, it's just a reduction of the likelihood of infection among people who aren't immune themselves.
This article isn't about natural herd immunity from everybody getting the disease, with most recovering and becoming immune. The article is worrying that even with vaccination, we may not be able to reach herd immunity. Too many variants; too slow deployment; too many vaccinated people still transmitting the disease.
There are quite literally billions of people on Earth for whom a smartphone is a necessity that they will save for to buy used, but for whom paid apps are superfluous and whose costs cannot be justified.
Imagine low-resolution face photo. Police found 3 men whose faces are similar to that photo. Now they're super-resolutioning that photo and suddenly first person looks very similar to it, while second and third persons do not. First person is in danger because of algorithm which was trained on some specific photos.
I legitimately can't tell if this is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.

Obviously Square has an incentive to be pro-Bitcoin, but arguing that people who care about the environmental impact of crypto are just concern trolls (e.g. "If bitcoin consumed 100x more energy but emitted zero CO2, would these worried sick-a-mores care?") is not an argument I would have expected.
One of those annoying things is that the name "super resolution" stuck, here.

Originally super-resolution was a hardware technique, and not "guessing". If you can [edit: this was poorly worded "control an imager positioning"] control imaging with finer resolution than the sensor has, you can take multiple images and reconstruct a higher resolution image in a principled way for say 2x resolution gain (cf super-resolution microscopy), also some telescope systems. Some modern photographic systems actually do this directly (piezo motors?) on the sensor.

Of course this only works if what you are imaging is reasonably static over the time needed to take all the images.

You can do an approximate version of this with video, with caveats because you don't control the motion. The key thing is, though, you actually have more data to work with.

This idea ran in parallel with image processing people attempting to estimate higher resolution from a single image for a while, and unfortunately the terminology stuck in image processing also. Something like resolution extrapolation is probably better but that ship sailed ages ago.
The conclusion that lighting itself is causing that effect cannot be drawn from that information. There could be a number of other factors for why violent crimes happen at night.
This looks great! Can we have a docker image or instruction?
First and foremost SARS-CoV-2 will never go away because it infects animals. Because it is so infectious, it will go through an entire herd or farm within days and eventually cause mutations and jump back to humans. So it will never go away and we need to prepare for it.

The main goal is to make it survivable, ie. akin to the flu, and not cause hospitals to get overrun like we have seen so many times around the world in the last year.
I'm not very familiar with Java's native interface, but you could potentially implement the native and non-native approaches as separate classes with a common interface, and choose to inject the correct dependency to the calling code at runtime by detecting OS features?
My aliases for those two deals with remote-tracking branches (see git-rev-parse(1) for documentation of the @{upstream} part if you’re not familiar with it). Might as well provide a more full excerpt:

# I almost always use glog rather than log.
glog = log --graph
# “Short log”
slog = log --graph --oneline
# `git id` = `git rev-list --max-count=1` with default refspec HEAD.
id = "!f() { case \"x$1\" in x-*|x) refspec=HEAD;; *) refspec=\"$1\"; shift;; esac; git rev-list --max-count=1 \"$refspec\" \"$@\"; }; f"
# `git tip` = `git log --max-count=1` with default refspec HEAD.
tip = "!f() { case \"x$1\" in x-*|x) refspec=HEAD;; *) refspec=\"$1\"; shift;; esac; git log --max-count=1 \"$refspec\" \"$@\"; }; f"
# `git out` = glog commits that exist locally but not on the upstream branch. No way to refer to different origins, sorry.
out = "!f() { case \"x$1\" in x-*|x) branch=;; *) branch=\"$1\"; shift;; esac; git glog \"$branch@{upstream}..$branch\" \"$@\"; }; f"
sout = "!f() { case \"x$1\" in x-*|x) branch=;; *) branch=\"$1\"; shift;; esac; git slog \"$branch@{upstream}..$branch\" \"$@\"; }; f"

I'm not sure it would be economical for bulk/cloud storage. It might be cheaper to just have geo-diverse redundant storage such that a failed drive can be rebuilt anew from redundant copies of the same data.

I'd be interested to see if optical technologies find a niche, they seem most stable for long-term storage, e.g. M-DISK

I completely agree with this. Chess is all about rational decision making, within this tournament format drawing this game was rational. If anything, this shows that both Magnus and Hikaru are slightly more courageous to act rationally as opposed to romantically, compared to other players.

It's actually garbage for road safety because bluer lamps spaced so far apart creates less even lighting, blows out everyone's night vision, causes distracting glare in peripheral vision, and makes it impossible to see into the shadows.

The ideal for road safety would be more uniform lighting from a larger number of closer-spaced lamps, placed at lower height, diffused, shielded from the sides, and colored orange (and optionally uniformly dimmer).

It would also help road safety to ban the new bluer types of car headlamps, which cause much worse glare than previous yellower ones.
This remains to be seen, and some of the experts guess this isn't a major risk. (Obviously it's possible, but there are scads of other viruses that could mutate until they're deadly in humans, too.)
I think the "you need to love what you do to be successful" is just a fallacy that became a meme. If it were true a much higher percentage of people would be well respected and successful artists, for example. In our field, more coders would be in FAANG or the next John Carmack. This meme needs to die, honestly.

Furthermore, it's easy to be passionate about things that you are good at. Being good at something means constantly getting positive feedback. So then the question becomes- Are people who are passionate the ones who become good at things or are people who are good at things become passionate them? The reality is you can find cases where people hate the things they are good at and like the things they are bad at. Just proves this idea of yours is false.

They took forever ... and then they bombed out due to lack of memory.

Not lack of physical memory, but lack of ability to address it as the UFS2 tools, like fsck, were not written to handle billions of inodes ...

We really can't thank Kirk M.[1] enough - he wrote custom patches to ufs and fsck just for our (dirty) filesystems and, as I mention in the article, eventually gave us the push to migrate to ZFS.

The word for probably impossible is improbable.
I can believe that. I have not dug much into the historical herd immunity statements, so it is possible they were not, although purported to be, by experts.
Thanks. Colors are sorted just based on their hue, saturation and lightness.
It was also a fair amount of HNers pushing the herd immunity thing as well.

The electronic neuron would have to behave just like a legit neuron, and would have to be installable without damaging the legit neurons.

That's orthogonal though. Both men and women can be tetrachromats, it's just more common in women (but exceedingly rare in both populations).
Depends on what you’re doing and at what scale. Especially for smaller orgs it’s really hard to duplicate the level of service the big boys can provide yourself.
>I'll just say it's better to be mediocre at something than to do nothing. A non-FAANG job/tech endeavor will still expose you to a lot of opportunities. You may not immediately be making what you want to make, but over 10 years there's a non-zero chance you'll luck into something bigger. A 20% chance of getting what you want is still better than a 0% chance. In the process you may find something you are actually exceptionally good at. It's much harder to find these things if you're not actively working on something.

This is the sort of thinking that keeps people in their place continuously participating in the rat race hoping that one day they'll make their break. For most people, it's much closer to delusional hope than a real path to success.

Right now the vaccines are effective against current mutations but yes! It’s very likely that we’ll see more than one covid vaccine during our lifetimes as it mutates.
Eh, female/male sexual relations amongst gorillas aren't as fantastically patriarchal as this, female Gorillas solicit males for sexual coitus themselves, including males other than the silverback, even after conception, and have even displayed homosexual tendencies[0][1][2][3], and they have preferences that have been genetically impressed on Gorilla males, which is why Gorilla males, unlike Chimp males, are not only amenable to interacting and playing with their own offspring but also those of others[4]. Their sexual lives aren't solely at the privy of the dominant male, waiting around for his urges passively, that's something of a fantasy. The dominant male is rarely the sire of all offspring in a troop, the has proven genetically.

The way forward requires coming to terms with the fact that none of this needed to happen in the first place. This disease is really just not that deadly for non-elderly and non-obese people, and we've known for a while.

Every institution under the sun failed.

We say we need to trust the science, but the scientists were all wrong: LANL put out a preprint paper that estimated r0 at ~7 near the beginning of the pandemic, where it's more like 2.5. The scientists told us that a vaccine wouldn't be ready for years, it was actually ready in months. The media was so addicted to the story that they failed to inform the public of these changing expectations. Meanwhile, the government spent a lot of money, and it's not entirely clear that it did anything except bubble up tech stocks. Did it save many jobs? No, not really, just like all these other institutions failed.

The way forward won't happen, at least for a while, because these institutions are powerful and need to save face.
Agreed. I happen to enjoy the hobby of tinkering with old bikes, so my bikes are typically a few decades behind the latest technology. So I can adopt a wait-and-see philosophy.

But still I remember a cynical comment by my dad, maybe 40 years ago. They had just announced some new advanced material, and my dad said: "Mark my words, the first applications will be high end bikes and golf clubs." Also, improving on the bicycle is a very common capstone project for design students.
What do you think is happening when people "adopt a highway"?
LED lights do in fact have the ability to do different color temps, some fixtures have tunable color temp as well. In my home, I use lamps that output 2200-2700K depending on the dimmer setting. Lower color temps output less lumens per watt, and the goal of exterior lighting is generally to improve visibility, hence the 4K color temp.

Here’s a cutsheet for a Lithonia wall pack fixture showing the different options, there’s also a chart showing what the lumens per watt is based on the color temp: https://img.acuitybrands.com/public-assets/catalog/1008038/w...
Quite the same as if the vaccinations were causing herd immunity: Everyone who wants a shot will get one. Everyone on the vulnerable list should think really hard and really get a shot. The rest can suffer of their own free will.

Or: make vaccinations mandatory if you want to protect those who cannot get a shot for health reasons.

Remember, the reason is vaccination hesitancy or refusal. A perfect example of antisocial and stupid behaviour.
