That's well over a million fatalities if it spreads across the US unchecked, and does not count complications.

Jira: slow, confusing, ugly, but then again most of its competitors suck too. All ticketing and PM systems suck. Xcode: don't use it every day but damn it is unnecessarily weird and unintuitive. It's clearly something designed for

Links? I see numbers like 4% on average globally, but those are likely skewed high due to tests being administered mostly to the symptomatic. I estimated 1% for that reason. I also ignored potential non-lethal but bad complications.

Silicon valley and its larger orbit are all about exponential growth curves. It's weird to me that so many people dont get the concern about COVID. "But the numbers are so small!" Elon is the most puzzling to me. He was one o

The meat of this article is its last paragraph or two, and particularly in the observation that modern "woke" culture is humorless and incapable of parsing sarcasm. I disagree however that this is peculiar to "woke" cult

Who is the Emperor? If you mean Thiel it's my impression that people regularly talk smack about him around here. He's a really controversial figure to say the least.

We can't allow algorithms, big data, and "AI" to be used to end-run the rule of law. We (the USA) are supposed to be a "nation of laws and not of men." An algorithm is merely an artifact of human engineering, and so

Tasks that involve branching, for one. GPU's are fundamentally different kinds of processors. They are for applying similar transforms to vast amounts of data. There are other area where big general purpose X64 or ARM cores excel too,

I place provisioning and management of your own clusters in a category I call "installability" or "deployability." It's a fundamental category of UX especially for technical and infrastructure applications. I once t

Something like this is what we need: https://github.com/andlabs/libui Unfortunately it's a one man band. The author has done great work but it has little support. IMHO it's the only sane UI effort for desktop

Does it have accessibility support? Generally the answer is 'no' for virtually all novel UI toolkits, especially immediate mode ones. I really love imgui but the lack of accessibility support means it can't be used on 's

One thing that continuously irks me about K8S is that the bar is so high. Does it really need to be so complex? Does it really need so much mandatory complexity? Is that complexity needed or do more complex things actually tend to win in ce

People cite these old tweets trying to say he's a hypocrite, but I honestly don't think it's even that deep. A hypocrite presupposes a belief system for one to fail to consistently follow. I think Trump just shoots from the h

Nearly all popular science journalism is either vastly oversimplified or outright trash. If you want the real story you have to study the actual science, which means reading papers or at least reading articles like this one written by actua

A magnetic field can't do work by interacting with another generated field? If so how do electric motors work? I must be missing something here.

by api 6y ago
If magnetism pervades space, can interaction with these fields generate force for propulsion? These fields are weak but what about extremely powerful superconducting magnets? Even if the force is small it could add up over long periods, and

There's a lot here beyond just the hacking. Huawei was able to grow so insanely fast because they had access to a blank check and endless credit from the Chinese government. Nortel and others meanwhile had to finance things themselves.

I think you need an entity capable of doing the bad things, if only to stand up to others who do, but I'm not convinced there is some conservation of badness that prohibits the net amount of it from decreasing over time.

I don't think we really learned any lessons. Stalin and Mao were at least as bad as Hitler in terms of body count. Hitler just lost the war, while the other two were able to continue to invest in propaganda to whitewash their histories
