I think it should be pretty trivial to have a hidden dualboot, let's say you have some plain boring Windows that takes 10% of you drive and 90% is unassigned. In reality that's encrypted LVM disk with bootloader on a flash drive that is easily tossed away if necessary. Or zapped in a microwave if you watched too much of Mr. Robot.

Edit: I am wrong. The population density of the Stockholm urban area is 4200 (2019), not 400 as I originally said. That number is for the county, not the municipal area. Leaving the rest of the comment so others can learn. Clearly the population density of Stockholm, which holds about 10% of the Swedish population, is not the relevant factor.

> Of course he has to say it couldn't have worked in the UK.

I'm guessing he didn't say it because he didn't think it was true.

In Stockholm there are ~400 people per square km.

In Milan there are 2000, in Madrid there are 5400, in London there are 5700, and in Paris there are 20,000. This detail alone -- ignoring other cultural and demographic differences between northern and southern Europe -- could be enough on its own to soften the blow.
So you're saying if I'm held at gunpoint or forced to surrender my password at the US airport that a password to clear my account of anything would be useless?

Neither of them know anything about me.

It reminds me of the Trezor hardware wallet that allows you to have multiple passwords into your account. If your forced to give access you can log into the version with little in it. Nobody knows that you have secondary accounts with more in it...
This is a strange bug. As if they weren't making predictions about where the yellow light would have to be one second later, by using at least speed and accelerometer data, and compare the expected result with the new reality.

This is not necessarily a job for lidar, they are just omitting some checks.

At second 18 [1] a street light comes into play which looks similar to the moon. That relative movement is what the system should have been expecting from the moon, but they apparently just re-computed the assumption that the moon is a traffic light which is moving along with the car.

It's somewhat revealing that they are not doing these kind of checks. I actually can't believe that they aren't doing it, but I can't see a case where the traffic light would always be at the same spot, if you have velocity and acceleration data at hand.

A traffic light is a very important thing.

Definitely overly strong. I don't personally use CGI because I've got a whole toolbox of pre-built starters that can scale if needed. Still, I've worked many projects that needed a simple, infrequently used microservice to do something that couldn't be done inside of an enterprise management system (read SAP, CRM, Salesforce). CGI would be an easy to maintain and perfectly acceptable solution.
Do you really think scenarios like this could account for skewing the data by a multiple of 9? Come on.

There's an important point I haven't seen discussed yet: I don't believe it's possible to write secure web apps without a templating engine with safe-by-default XSS handling (i.e. interpolated text is sanitized, unless explicitly marked as trusted HTML somehow), which implies some amount of a web framework or at least a web-specific library.
Vietnam, Asia's leading technology startup hub
I live about an hour west of Boston. There's a sort of half-ring six-lane highway called I-495. It mostly handles the traffic load fairly well. But it's a source of sometimes genuine surprise to me that a highway of this capacity for the area was built in the late 1950s given that must have seemed almost outrageously overbuilt for at least most of its route at the time.

> Does this correctly handle all the different NaN values, weird corner cases, etc. properly?

Of course the answer to "have you covered all weird corner cases" is always 'no', but the article addresses the issue of different NaNs:

> […] However, it turns out that doubleToLongBits is also not entirely trivial, because it canonicalizes NaNs. There are many ways to encode a not-a-number as a double, but only one of them is canonical. These different NaNs are even more similar twins, they can be distinguished neither via Double.compare, nor via any operation. Even string representation is the same. But they look different in computer memory. To avoid surprises, doubleToLongBits converts any NaN to the canonical form, which is encoded in long as 0x7ff8000000000000L. Of course, this procedure adds more conditions, which we do not need here.

> What can we do? It appears that there's another method doubleToRawLongBits. It doesn't do any smart conversion of NaN and just returns exactly the same bit representation: […]
Considering Grammarly
I really wish I’d had a chance to use ASP in an environment doing it properly, rather than the cowboy atmosphere of a tiny web agency. If I understand correctly the idea was that you’d use a proper language for your core business logic which then gets compiled into DLLs loaded by your ASP application, which could then use VBScript for the simple template logic.

Sadly I was at an agency which (I suspect like many other places) just threw stuff like establishing database connections straight into the templates, and had ludicrously complex stuff being done in VBScript, a language designed for light automation.

Which languages did you try? I found that dividing 1.0 by 0.0 gives Infinity in Java, C, Julia, JavaScript, Ruby, Clojure, Haskell and Rust. I get division errors in Python and Perl.

Curiously, Go gives me a compiler error if I divide constant literals, but assigning 0.0 to a variable and dividing by it does work. On top of that, assigning -0.0 to a float variable leads to it having the value +0.0, which I would call a borderline compiler bug. Both are probably a consequence of Go constant literals not being IEEE-754 floats but some arbitrary precision number types, but it's very unexpected behavior.

As someone who currently works there it is indeed bureaucratic. But I also feel like it is an environment that focuses less on cost/money and optimizes for the highest quality. I.e., there is room to explore the best way of doing something and there is less pressure to do it ASAP or for the lowest price.

My personal assumption was, that walking, always was hunting for us as a species.

So to hunt for great ideas, one must connect the whole experience to what we did once to track down animals.

Look at the ground, when thinking about facts, chains of evidence, the origin of your problems. Walk known routes, when traversing well known approaches, take unknown routes, go off-road, when you are stuck with the usual ways.

Move your body, like you want your mind to move, but most important, do not self-observe while you do it. Forget about yourself, think only about the pray and the hunt.

It may just be superstitious. But it is how my subconscious tries to explain away my endless pacing.

Horrido.

Small landlords are relevant to the supply shock because, after seeing the effect of the eviction moratorium, many will opt to either (a) not rent out existing space they own at all, or certainly find less risky ways to rent it out, like STRs, or (b) find something else to invest their money into in the first place.

Also, there is evidence that small time landlords are much less aggressive when it comes to evictions (see https://www.atlantafed.org/-/media/documents/community-devel... from the Atlanta Fed). This means that small-time landlords provide a greater percentage of the supply for "marginal renters", i.e. renters who are more likely to miss payments. When that supply goes away it means there will be more competition among these marginal renters to find a place to live.
Very cool idea. There is a fine balance between maintaining the authenticity of these types of endorsements and making them available for anyone to request. I do like the thinking behind this though. Thank you!
No, taxes were to be paid for war, then infrastructure. It's only recently that taxes have been diverted to social welfare. I think the jury is still early on whether that will build civilization or result in its demise.
I think it will stay multimodal market. Some places will continue going up, that is the most desirable and most supply limited cities. Some will follow inflation, that is smaller well planned towns that can support themselves, but aren't in massive growth. And then in some places will or already have negative value. Like some "HOA" in Finland being unable to get loans for basic renovation and having to demolish house. With owners being left with debt...
The problem with semi is that they will move to a machine that costs 2 billion a pop within 2 years. The output of this 2 billion dollar machine will be greater than the cost increase.

The article talks about this at the end. They have very low population density, a tiny population to start with, and most people live alone. Compared to their immediate neighbors with similar densities and culture, they did far worse in deaths.
I agree 100% with this article - I do my best thinking when walking. It is the combination of light exercise that gets the blood moving (to the brain!), but not too strenuous that our minds must devote mental energy to the act of phsyical exercise, the oxygen from the fresh air, the feeling of _wandering_ and letting our minds wander.

Sometimes I struggle with deep thinking at my desk - its too quiet / stable. A little bit of distraction helps. Not to say I don’t think while at my desk, I just think walking is a great compliment and in our sedentary lives, better to think on our feet and leave the desk to implementation / coding.

I say this after two productive walks today :)

See but since there was no actual randomized test the fact that Brazil did a no-lockdown strategy (which I guess some say is false)… it could have been just as big of a disaster even with a lockdown.

There is basically no real way to prove that lockdowns did a single thing. The fact so many countries were so willing to jump onto a completely unproven non pharmaceutical intervention that has massive negative side effects is pretty scary.

The fact so many people get hot and bothered by this and just assume that lockdowns worked at all… it’s quite disturbing.
I'm Swedish.

I think the most important difference is that ~50% of the population here thought the government was being incompetent/paralyzed and then performed a voluntary lockdown, much harsher than the government-mandated restrictions.

Since lots of those people who disagreed with the government (in)actions work as "knowledge workers", it was also relatively easy to make the switch to work from home, and they did, along with pretty much everone who was able to do WFH.

Possibly related: the current social democrat prime minister Stefan Löfven made a surprise announcement today that he'll be stepping down in November, a mere ten months before the next election.

I think it's natural that it would play out differently in Brazil - so many differences in the structure of the work force, access to information, English language skills, personal economic reserves, etc etc.
This is speculation from my side,
based on my interactions with health care in Sweden over the past year. They are good at distancing and precautions in situations where it probably matters a lot, health care settings. People that had cold symptoms didn't get mixed up with regular patients. Like sitting in a waiting room. If you were going to have a child and you were going to have a meeting with a nurse then you were the only one allowed in, not even your husband/boyfriend was allowed to accompany you.

Please be more specific. What fraction is spent on front line value add labor, like doctors and nurses, vs administrative flak?
Except that being wrong about how bad a virus is can be catastrophic, especially when nearly every nation was woefully underprepared. You can easily do math to demonstrate how small changes in the variables of a virus can lead to more dire outcomes.

What if China had taken the most conservative policy in response to the appearance of covid-19? Maybe we would have been spared the turmoil and disruption of this pandemic. You're way too confident declaring this as "provably false".

Hopefully our knowledge is greater and our preparedness will be better such that we don't have to always take such an aggressive policy position when faced with a novel virus.

And ofcourse the government while it can't collect all that information on its own can sure as hell buy or rubber-stamp warrant their way into these datasets at will in order to side step the 4th amendment all together.

If people are generally willing to accept the axiom that information is power, I am continually baffled as to why they can't understand how reckless it is to allow all of this capture, sale and sharing of the intimate details of their lives.

How can we possibly defend ourselves or have any control over our lives while giving this much power to profit motive corporations?

It is just pure madness.
Yeah I don’t get why people keep repeating that electric cars have fewer components.

But they are not cheaper, yet. Vehicles available in both IC and electric consistently cost much more for the electric model. The base model Chevy Spark is $13,600. The base model Chevy Bolt (which GM says is the successor to the electric version of the Spark) is $36,500. The base model Ford F-150 is $29,290. The base model electric Ford F-150 is about $40,000.

2022 is going to be interesting for electric vehicles. That's the year electric trucks, from Ford to Freightliner to Volvo, ship in volume. Possibly Tesla, too. Suddenly, electric vehicles will be very mainstream, doing routine jobs.
The problem has got worse rather than better; the machines are approximately 1 million times more capable in terms of raw MIPS, but the runtime startup cost of the languages used has increased, so the wall clock time to start a request has gone up.

2000 era CGI tended to be in Perl or PHP. Even then Java made an appearance, with a long-lived host process, e.g. Websphere.

One advantage which the author gets right is that CGI consumes no resources while not serving requests, so you can have a lot of different CGI programs on the same machine. It also plays nicely with multi-user systems, so an ISP could host a lot of different customers on one box. We could serve CGIs from several hundred users off a 128MB Pentium system, for significantly less resources than one Slack instance.
It really is. The machines are highly sophisticated and downtime is very costly. Code bases are heavily documented and have a bureaucratic process to protect them. ASML does have less crucial software projects that have a more normal process.
Don't forget "AI" that's just the pattern matching ability of a 2 year old enforcing security policies.
