The US gov (see: https://www.ready.gov/pandemic and https://cchealth.org/pandemic-flu/pdf/individuals_and_famili...) frequently tell you to stockpile some amount.

The point of this stockpile isn't to deal with total long-term breakdown. They're not telling you to get 2 weeks supply because they think there will be no food available for 2 weeks. They're telling you to build up a supply to help ease the very supply distribution activities that you're saying will happen. The more supply buffers that exist in individual households, the more easily authorities and organize and distribute supply.

But you're right, it's not the end of the world.

Following a few comments from experts in the field and looking at some of the data being presented, it's fairly obvious this pandemic case was reasonably high. There are of course lots of unknowns models used can't account for but that's no reason to discard the potential risk entirely.

Keep in mind, many of these decisions to avoid "pandemic" talk try to take most holistic views in regards to public safety/health. There is a lot of consideration regarding deaths cause by panic actions which are often estimated/modeled as well and if panic related deaths and side effects are higher than a current actual threat, it's often viewed that the best course of action is to suppress panic until warranted.

So lack of pandemic talk doesn't inherently mean there is a legitimate reason not to panic, just that you're being given limited information. At the same time you shouldn't assume experts, the media, etc. are somehow mass conspiring against your health/safety. Assessments are probably reasonable to follow.

The best course of action is to also take a holistic look at situations independent of these groups and make your own rational assessment of risks and impact.

If you don't already have some non-perishable food supplies, you should have completely irrespective of this specific recent viral outbreak--its basic preparedness for emergencies.

Some basic preparedness (I'm not talking bunkers and 2 year food cache craziness) are warranted in general for unpredictable disaster cases so these situations are good reminders for people to check their pantry for food, etc. just in case something awful was to happen, those supplies can help significantly.

If we know a global recession is coming, is there anything we can do to profit off it it? Does gold, Bitcoin, etc. go up during recessions?

Or is the best strategy to just buy low (during recession) and sell high (after recession)?
I don't see how that relates at all. The parent is talking about how we perceive information and especially information that comes from authoritative sources.

That doctor had first-hand experience of what was happening and the authorities getting in his way when he tried to get the word out. He was never in a position where he had to decide between going with the consensus or follow a fringe theory, but rather whether to follow the obviously incorrect official version instead of what he could see with his own two eyes.

I think I disagree with this about 100%. Sure, production is what it is all about in the end. But how do you know the letters you just typed are going to be any good in production? They might just crash and burn there. That is why we need all those quality gates. The sooner and the farther removed from production that you discover a problem the easier it is to fix.

Regarding the 'buy vs build' I think buying software is one of the most risky things that you can do. Since it cost money you cannot then say 'o well, i guess it just did not pan out, let us just not use it'. Now you are kind of married to the software. And some of the worst software out there is paid for. E.g., jira vs. redmine. This is actually a bit ironic considering the fact that I actually am writing software in my job that is sold.... O well, it actually is sold as a part of a piece of hardware, so it is not really sofware as such.....

Regarding the last point, failure can be made uncommon if a relatively safe route to production is available, starting with a language that verifies the correct use of types, automated tests that verify the correctness of code, a testing environment that one attempts to keep close to what production is like and so on. Getting a call that production is not working is the event that I am trying to prevent by all means possible, and I think research would be able to show that people who get fewer calls, not just because production is failing, but in general, fewer calls regarding whatever subject, will live longer and happier.
> The fact is, 99% of programs need only one exception handler.

Maybe if you just write high level business logic and something else already handles exceptions for you. I think my Java code typically has 70% of the exceptions handlers that I also would need in Go. Need to close upstream connections, release resources like buffers, etc. If it’s not catch blocks, then it’s at least a finally block. And often it’s also a good idea to catch and transform an exception, so that the calling code doesn’t need to deal with exceptions that come from pure implementation details.

I don't believe Solid will be able to "enforce" anything - worst case, apps can just not use Solid. I see Solid as the technology that enables apps to respect your control of the data, but the incentives for implementing that has to come from elsewhere, e.g. customer demand or legislation.

This will be a painful but necessary shift. Realizing there's no way to stop the spread of coronavirus from "over there" to "over here," the best move individuals and groups can take is to forego large gatherings:

How long this will take is anybody's guess. But any organization still planning a conference of more than a few dozen people should really stop and consider the wisdom of that plan at this point.
Website still looks fresh and modern, you have up-to-date copyright and user testimonianal and mention newest operating system (Windows 10). All good in my opinion.

The website doesn't answer the question who the author is. On the purchase page I can spent 290 Euro and it doesn't tell me who the contract is with, just a info@website.com email address. Deep down in the terms-of-service Bath, England is mentioned, but clicking to the terms-of-service and the website turns into Russian in my browser. Your current customers might be fine with this, to me it's a reason to keep my credit card in my pocket.

That’s the point. Once you have “molded” the junior developer for a year a two, they can easily jump ship for greener pastures.

I’ve seen the argument about paying them market rates. But honestly, if they are young and unencumbered, their “market” is the entire US. Meaning you may not have been in the position to pay them what they could make if they were willing to move across the country.

To go into more anecdotal detail, I had been programming as a hobbyist since I was 12 in assembly for 10 years by the time I graduated from a no name college in the south. I had two job opportunities - one making an entry level developer salary writing COBOL [1] in a slightly larger city, or working as a computer operator in a major city. I chose the latter job that paid much less just to get to the city. I got lucky and I was the only one who knew how to program so they gave me the previously mentioned project straight out of college. They gave me a raise the next year to that of an entry level developer (I was hourly at first and got a lot of overtime).

But now, three years later, the project was done and with a major green field C project under my belt, my market value had gone up more than 50%. They couldn’t justify paying me that and I got another job.

Now if a similar scenario had played out in today’s market instead of 1999, even if they could have matched my local salary of $80-$100K for a mid level developer, I could have spent a year studying “algorithms and leetCode”, picked up and moved to SV and doubled or tripled my total comp. There is no way they could compete with that.

Let’s look at the current state of affairs. Almost every engineer at my company is between 35-50. They purposefully created the office in the burbs three years ago to attract older developers. They not only get experience, paying local market salary is relatively easy comparatively. The chance of any of us uprooting our families, selling our big, relatively cheap 3000 square foot houses in the burbs with the great school systems and moving to the west coast is slim.

Waiting until the last minute to stock up on food is what’s going to cause a panic. You should be stocking up now while people _aren’t_ panicking.

Once a few towns in the us go on lockdown, people are going to go en masse to stock up. You want to get ahead so you _aren’t_ contributing to that.

As a consumer we don't get that choice. Most of the products we want are not available for purchase, and often when they are they still track us and use our data against us.

The notion that there are two business models on the web is a myth, at least for consumers. Only in B2B services do you ever see things available for sale or a fee without data collection and tracking attached.
Can we just keep it shut down regardless? They were torturing rare/endangered species at these places. The animals deserve better. No one needs to be eating koalas, wolf puppies, foxes, pangolins, or any of the other animals that were there. Also, if you have to torture your food to death to eat it, you're a monster--many of these mammals were being boiled alive or having their fur stripped while they were still alive. China's unflinching animal cruelty is shockingly callous and inhumane.
I am very familiar with what is going on in China. It isn't Mad Max and people aren't starving.

>Spend years in shops that buy rather than build and you will have a major skill deficit when you move on and want to do more in your career.

That's not the fault of the company or the manager but the employee for staying in a job that does not line up with their long term career prospects. You cannot expect anyone to care about you except yourself. If they do then that's nice but don't expect it.

>If a manager fails to develop actual talent, that manager deserves the outcome.

You mean a successful company and stock options they can buy a house with?

If a business succeeds then it can use it's series B/C funding to buy better talent. Expensive to do but by then money is a lot less tight.

The media are always predicting the next recession so it's just a case of picking the time they are right. Which is about once every ten years, on current form.
We are always "before a pandemic"... so is the advice to always have 2 weeks of food and water stocked? Only in the USA...

The response so far seems to have concentrated on containment. That has - you could argue this - failed. The next logical step is to declare a pandemic, according to the CDC there are now cases in 32 countries with confirmed community spreading in about half of those.

Note that a pandemic is only related to the geographical spreading in combination with the risk factors (highly contagious, relatively high mortality rate).

Anyway, this thread will be obsolete before the week is out, I would be highly surprised if WHO/CDC will not do this in the next couple of days. The only way they can avoid doing it is if the number of cases and the number of countries affected will go down.

Normally, yes, but the seasonal flu is excluded from the definition so we don't have to say that there's an annual recurring pandemic. When agencies talk about flu pandemic preparations, they're referring to an outbreak so severe that it no longer counts as just the seasonal flu.

Another reply from me ... another thing that ALSA doesn't do well, by itself, is allowing device sharing by multiple applications. In that regard, it is a lot like ASIO and at least one of other N Windows audio driver models. On Linux, the general design decision surrounding this has been to use a user-space daemon to provide this functionality - an approach that eventually even Apple ended up with (they refactored stuff, and moved coreaudiod from the kernel into user space).

So that means that systems like PulseAudio, JACK and PipeWire are where the "seamless experience" are going to happen, not really in ALSA. To use the comparison with CoreAudio, ALSA operates (1) as if every application enables hog mode. Try that sometime on macOS ... and watch your "seamless experience" completely fall apart :)

This is where PipeWire does offer some real hope. Whereas PulseAudio and JACK deliberately target different use cases/workflows, PipeWire seeks to unify them in a similar way to what coreaudiod does on macOS (device sharing, multiple sample rates, buffer sizes, etc. etc.)

Note that there is a cost to this, even on macOS. You cannot get the absolute minimum device latency on macOS, which you can on Linux. But most (all?) users on macOS seem OK with, either because they just don't know that or because they do and think that the convenience tradeoff is worth it. I imagine that if/when PipeWire reaches its full goals, it will impose a similar burden (though perhaps with an option to avoid it by disabling some functionality).

The key point, however, is that applications (2) are going to continue to either the ALSA or the JACK API for doing audio/MIDI I/O. ALSA ... because it's there, and has several 3rd party libraries built on top of it to make things simpler for developers. JACK ... because it's insanely well designed [:))] and gets the job done, portably and efficiently.

(1) well, it mostly does. The library that apps actually use to talk to ALSA can do device sharing, but it's never been widely used for that, and the design is bit ... well, it's not ideal.

(2) all apps except Skype and Firefox, which join the hall of shame for actually deciding to use the "native" PulseAudio API, something the original author of PulseAudio strongly recommended against.
Excellent comment and too bad it is this far down the thread.

Amazing, I have used ModDB in the past so I'm glad to see you building something even more ambitious.
