China now has a lot of donors for plasma with antibodies. That's why they can stop the shutdown and start tracing outbreaks and treating patients.

I replaced a handwritten lexer of a proprietary PDF library with a re2c generated lexer. Besides fixing a bunch of dormant bugs, the resulting lexer was much faster. Also the state of c++ std regex implementations is pretty sad (at least it was the last time I checked) and if you just need to match with a few compile-time-known regexes, re2c is there for you to solve the problems.

Are Tesla employees compensated with some kind of shares?

Things I don't understand about the US ... why does not most advanced western nation not have a socially fair health care system.

E.g. in germany, the price of health care is proportional to income.

While the words in the articles are public domain, the bits in the files are not. So to free the articles, you have to take the bits, turn them into the words and then encode those into bits again.

I think it's more unfortunate that some people have to work at all while sick.

boosts quality varies

I've seen parts that weren't much better then someones lib on github, because essentially that's what boost is.

Remember that WebGL is also a security nightmare. Shaders are fed to the GPU driver. The driver contains a compiler and compiles the shaders into the GPU specific ISA. The GPU that runs that code is a PCIe device with full DMA access. What could possibly go wrong?

(I'm aware that at least Chrome does some syntactic checks on the shader syntax)

I think it's not profitable. I work in Berlin and commute to work by public transport every day. You currently pay 60EUR if you get caught and I get checked at least twice a week. Repeated offenders pay more and get additional sanctions. For 60EUR you get a ticket for a month (in a yearly subscription).

So they want to build seamless interop with MS Exchange including all calendar features, oh and compat with that plugin the workers' council really needs? ... let the investor money burn ...

My mental model of the Web is a human brain with all kinds of weird mechanisms - one that forgets things, makes things up, mixes memories. Google is like an "association cortex" - take it away and all the memories are still there but access to them is much harder and needs to go through more indirections (links).
