The article quoted says: "Although the Wuhan market was initially suspected to be the epicenter of the epidemic, the immediate source remains elusive. The close relatedness among SARS-CoV-2 strains suggested that the Wuhan outbreak pro

We do know that they were studying coronavirus in Wuhan so it is possible that somebody could have been exposed to it in Wuhan's biolab. And, my understanding is that it hasn't been ruled out. I also disagree that people that ha

He was talking about pandemics and quoting an article which does mention SARS and coronavirus. This is a tiny gotcha "oh but you didn't technically use the word SARS or coronavirus yourself when quoting the article the first time

Is this as big a gotcha as people think it is? The article which he quoted in length in 2019 [0] hasn't been modified and did mention both SARS and Coronavirus. He's just amending the quote he took from it. Obviously the first tim

Do you think SwiftUI was a mistake for that reason then, since it's for native applications?

Good point. Is there anybody from 2007 still working at Facebook desperately scared they'll be found out for not being good at algorithms or are these people all in management now? ;)

What if 20x more of their customers trial it for a month, than purchase it outright? It could still work. It just depends on user engagement.

I reckon they could charge a monthly subscription and make more money that way from people trialing features...

I agree about the power balance but I don't think it's in Tesla's interest to have customers that were burned by massive accidental purchases and never buy a car from them again.
342.
by lhnz 7y ago
There needs to be a process within customer support teams in which they can escalate problems if the rules feel wrong to them. If a purchase was unintentional and very large ($4,333) a refund should be offered. This feels like common sense

Aren't many of us programmers? Don't we gain something from reading source code in languages we might be interested in using?

FYI, if you want a decent Postgres client, check out `slonik` [0]. It doesn't support migrations, but there are other tools for that [1]. [0] https://github.com/gajus/slonik [1] https://github.com/

When I was a beginner the two problems I had with recursion were: 1. Not handling the base case and accidentally causing an infinite loop. 2. Never reaching the base case so ending up in an infiniite loop. 3. Creating too much incorrect sta

I do this, too -- sort of. I prefer for type-checking to give useful feedback than for it to act as a control-gate, because the latter increases the length of the feedback loop between writing code and seeing its behaviour. Rather than havi

It's likely that you would need to get planning permission to put solar panels on the roof of a building. This generally requires you to be the owner. Therefore it might not be best described as a market failure. It could be better des

I hope this works. I am doing leetcode.com interview questions in my evening and definitely getting better at these. But, as I said, the problem is that when I feel under the magnifying glass, basic cognitive skills like being able to read

The problem with this approach is that interview nerves don't just stop you from writing complicated algorithms, they often cause people to forget or stutter over trivial/simplistic stuff like syntax or popular APIs. For example,

I do this, too, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. As you said, the commons gains from experimentation. The next person often builds on top of what came before.

It depends on what you mean by derive a solution. If a candidate doesn't know an algorithm they couldn't be expected to derive it on the spot. In many cases the popular algorithms were carefully designed by Computer Scientists as

I am hearing that startups are moving out of SF because it is too expensive. Can anybody explain the strategy here? I realise that funding is mostly centralised in SF, but this still feels weird to me.
