Maybe you are purposely ignoring many data points of how badly things are going. Musk instituted blue checkmarks that are purchased by a subset of customers with particular views. If you question this, look at the responses to Biden tweets

I was trying Tailwind out a few weeks ago for a very simple static web page. I'm close to beginner with slight knowledge of CSS and HTML. It was surprising to me that all the styling disappeared from <a> tags, and it took some Go

They are also using a pure Go version of leveldb (github.com/syndtr/goleveldb) and not the more battle-hardened Google leveldb, RocksDB implementations, or even the dgraph-io Badger WiscKey-style approach.

C++ is still used extensively, even for completely new projects, in computer graphics, databases, etc. Relatively new projects I’ve seen it used: TileDB, tensorstore, core Apache Arrow, etc. CUDA programming is C++ at the bleeding edge.

The police unions and particularly this administration have been actively undermining strong independent oversight.

That’s not how the contagiousness works. Most reports have average of 5 days from infection to symptoms, but many people are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. At least one study says viral shedding is close to peak the day before sympto

Screening tests need to be highly accurate OR you need to be fully aware and manage the fallout from false negatives, which is the point I'm making. First, screening tests have costs, that's why many diseases don't have scre

So after you try to belittle me about not understanding 4^x vs 1^x, you are now talking about future efforts, hopes how an entire medical community can be retrained, etc. Let's stay focused on the real world and not some hypothetical

There's a lot to be said about WH-level leaders with the authority to corral and force action down the chain. It's bad enough that the CDC and FDA screwed up, but there was no urgency from the top-down that solutions had to be ro

Since you are being snarky: Are you aware that the sensitivity quoted was mostly in symptomatic and hospitalized patients and not those in the very earliest stages who could also be shedding less virus? Are you aware that each false negativ

I'm also surprised that there isn't more talk about the sensitivity of the standard nasopharyngeal swab + RT-PCR. When the FDA approved it, they showed it's extremely accurate... if you use swabs saturated with the virus at

A good synopsis of current understanding (as of last Friday) was a UCSF Medicine Grand Rounds broadcast. I've bookmarked the most relevant slide to our discussion in particular: https://youtu.be/bt-BzEve46Y?t=2349 Sig

Hence my comment, perhaps positioned less than optimally in my statement, about preventing the cascade to next stage. The degree to which these drugs address the various issues is still in flux. In the UCSF grand rounds recently, there wa

Stage of disease also is important. In the first symptomatic stage, makes sense to try antivirals and HCQ to reduce or eliminate the virus, and prevent a cascade into the next stage. The problematic second stage - ARDS, a subset of patien

Regarding randomization, the HCQ + Azithromycin study showed good results despite the control group being 14 years younger. Sex was about equal so no male/female imbalance. It’s clear that older patients have worse outcomes, but this

From the article: All of this helps explain why IPCC anticipates climate change will have a modest impact on economic growth. By 2100, IPCC projects the global economy will be 300 to 500% larger than it is today. Both IPCC and the Nobel-win

I agree that my wording is too strong due to my memory of the latency results. As you increase the load, Go is closer to Rust/C than C# (see last benchmarks) and at a given load, C# isn’t in picture. It’s fair to say that Go/C#

One example is n-dimensional arrays where each element could be a byte, uint16, int16, ... , uint64, int64, float, or even some custom vector. In a language with generics, you could describe the nD array more simply and the operators work

I hate bad analogies that have us arguing more about how well the analogy fits than simply debating the underlying question. When we talk about concurrency or the ability to make simple yet high-performing server apps, it's ridiculous
