China has not been forthcoming as to the true scale of the epidemic. It has spread far past Hubei and is not likely under the degree of control that they claim - it is simply impossible to mobilize the manpower and resources required in such a short time. It is possible for both political reasons and containment to play a role in the ban.

Meanwhile the outbreak in SK has just started in earnest and as a democratic nation with ostensibly more relaxed freedom of speech and close government cooperation, as well as local U.S. bases, there is less uncertainty regarding the status of spread in SK which places less of a priority on closing off travel. Still, if the virus continues to spread you can expect that travel to be restricted as well.

In any case, shaming officials for xenophobia is absolutely inapropriate in this time of crisis. All travel restrictions are going to line up by national and racial lines, because national borders do as well. You can't keep your borders open during a pandemic in order to preserve political correctness.
>At the end of the day, people would rather feel nice about themselves than make actual change.

Almost, but not quite. At the end of the day, there are people making extraordinary amounts of money from the status quo, and those people would rather have the general population squabbling over minutiae than demanding systemic change that would actually resolve the problem (and subsequently cause those people to lose an awful lot of money).

Late to the party, but...

The Distributed Job System I've written for .NET [1] uses Akka.NET under the hood.

Mind you, this runs 'distributed' in the sense that you can have multiple servers; the actors in the Execution System itself don't do anything outside of process. However, they are very much written in the actor spirit.

There's only 3 Actors, but that might fit the bill for being something that's not 'hello world' but not huge.

The entire system is about 4KLOC, And the Actor part of the system is under 1KLOC including the Class that manages the ActorSystem at runtime.

The unmerged branch has some even more advanced examples around recovery as well as a more 'pure' model around the Coordinator (In /master/ there is still a blocking call to the Queue.)

First thing I notice opening chime is that I don't know what I can do with it. -
Other than opening a folder, getting code suggestions with ctrl+space, and getting additional context hovering with alt, I couldn't find anything I could do. - An FAQ or feature list of what Chime is able and not able to do would go a long way.

Additionally a roadmap on the next plans for it, or even better an option for people who got a license to vote for features would be also nice.

As of now it seems like a solid start, but without simple things like a keypress to fuzzy match and open a file, show code errors, a way to run tests or code and see the output, it doesn't seem to be usable for day to day work.

That been said, the current price is low enough that I'll be getting one simply to show support for the project and come back to it every now and then to see how it evolves.

Good luck :)

I have been saying for years (since OS 9) that Apple UIs are nowhere near as intuitive as their reputation would have you believe. The worst part is, because Apple does this bad stuff, everyone else thinks it must be a good idea and copies it.
Here is a short explanation from Brendan Gregg https://youtu.be/7pmXdG8-7WU?t=885
my brother is a pig and he has no problem being called that. He is also suffering from depression because 9/10 of his colleagues are literal Nazis in a uniform and openly admit that they vote far-right (in my place that is the people who still use the Nazi salute until today). They not only hate just foreigners but are constantly abusing their power.

The other pigs I met were happy to take bribes and one (in Ireland) even bragged about how much he loved to use his pepper spray every time he gets a chance (he rarely does).

fwiw, pigs in colloquial english is not just a slur but silly slang, unless you are bold enough to call a whole class of blue-collar people (who hate pigs) problematic. Maybe read Orwell (Animal Farm) or the later Irvine Welsh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filth_(novel)

Never ever trust a uniform whatever country you're in. Btw I also do consulting for LE and the "sane" ones usually don't deny that they have a problem with racism. I'm not even talking about the videos from China where people get beaten with sticks or dogs get clubbed to death by men in blue while their colleagues are laughing before they move on to terrifying citizens.

I don't think getting upset about what is "natural language" in blue collar surrounding is going to do any good. I know the pigs are OK with it. (watch out for those who are not though)
I will need to take a closer look. If you are right, this might be more useful than I thought at a casual glance.
I think you've misunderstood. The CDC page I linked provides a diagnostic protocol for testing samples for presence of the virus. The disclaimer explicitly forbids using the protocol as a diagnostic test in a medical setting, reminding the reader that it is not approved for such use and is to be used for research purposes only. That's the silly part - industrial biotech oligos are _more_ than reliable enough for human diagnostic testing during an active crisis.
Thanks, yeah I used the wrong term.
Google's Technical Writing Courses for Engineers
/r/hardware has passed 1M users, and is quite obviously afflicted by passionate sectarian disagreements between loyalists to different brands. There's also a lot of generally ill-informed and low-effort commenting there. But the mods there do put in some genuine effort, and a large fraction of that community seems to have a limit to the degree of BS they'll upvote.

Compare to /r/AMD_Stock which has a fraction of the size but basically exists to take sides in one of those contentious issues. Most of the time I venture there, I come away with the impression that an outright majority of the comments are shitposts that the community would be better off without. Though I don't think even on that subreddit that I've run into any egregious violations of Reddit policy.
US CDC:

- Wash your hands.

- Cover your cough.

- Stay home.

(Last: if you're sick, if the outbreak is local, if you don't absolutely need to be somewhere.)

Ready: Pandemic preparations: Community mitigation guidelines to prevent pandemic influenza https://www.ready.gov/pandemic

Before a Pandemic

- Store a two week supply of water and food.

- Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.

- Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, anti-diarrhoeal medication, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.

- Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference.

- Talk with family members, loved ones, neighbours, co-workers, and other frequent contacts, about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.

During a Pandemic

Limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection:

- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

- When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

- Wash your hands frequently to help protect you from germs.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

- Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

Sure, but it's incredibly risky to switch (or at least give your old employer notice) before the transfer is approved. And if you aren't looking for a new job, but your current employer decided to fire you for any reason, you have to scramble to get a new job (and get the H1B transferred) nearly immediately, or you're required to leave the country.

TileDB can handle most of your requirements today and we are working on the "row id labels" which we call axes labels[1]. We are looking to get axes labels support completed in the next 2-3 months. TileDB supports fixed size and variable length attributes so you have flexibility in how to handle your 256 byte and UTF-8 fields. On the distributed computing front, TileDB has integrations with Dask[2] and Spark[3]. We are happy to answer any further questions you might have on TileDB or how to adapt it to your use case.

If it's a nonessential feature, I don't think that's a problem. You're allowing people to learn the system at a gradual pace.

The best interfaces are ones which are accessible to newcomers, but slowly train you to become a power user just via incidental use. OS X used to be very, very good at this, and still does an above average job in many respects.

To be honest, I find views like yours not only fatalist, but dangerous. Fatalist because you don't seem to believe that developed-world standards of living are globally possible and so all genuine efforts will just be written off as band-aids. Dangerous because if people start believing this en masse, that prosperity is a zero-sum-game, then war is the only reasonable alternative.
Got any evidence to back that up? You’re implying that wasting less food is somehow either distracting or taking resources away from real problems. In my experience it’s the people doing nothing that are so quick to point fingers and find fault with every attempt at improving our situation.

This is incredibly cool, really amazing to see full-genome sequencing versus the very limited number of SNP's that other players in the space are doing.

Quantity matters. Both the size of the aerosol cloud generated from a cough/sneeze and the number and size of the droplets produced is reduced while wearing a mask.

Stopped completely? No. Reduced enough to be a useful measure in some circumstances? Yes.

If I were going out and genuinely worried about inhaling something, I'd skip surgical masks and N95 disposables and just wear a sealed half mask using P100 filters. They're way more comfortable than either of the disposables, and provide much better filtration. Since they use exhaust valves, they may not provide much protection to others from your own potential pathogens, although I would expect some droplet suppression simply from the redirection of any exhalation through a small valve.
The author is conflating discoverability of features, with discoverability of different ways to activate certain features.

So, for example, everyone knew how to view a PDF. It's just that the author disallowed the most discoverable method.

They all knew how to right click, in the most discoverable way (trackpad), it's just that the author insisted they use the magic mouse instead, or know about ctrl+click which no one ever uses. That the magic mouse is a usability disaster is a whole other issue, but that's unrelated to OS X.

I havent used OSX in a bit, but the default app thing should be something that you can do through settings (at least Windows 10 makes it very easily discoverable that way). Apple, however, has always done a terrible job with default apps (for example, requiring users to change their default Browser, Mail app, etc through Safari, Mail.app and so on).

The Do Not disturb thing is ironically an iOS UI pattern that Apple has completely unnecessarily brought to the mac.

So are the invisible scroll bars. Mac OS X's scroll bars used to be easily visible (and more functional, because it immediately gave you an idea of the size of the view as well as allowed you to click anywhere on the bar and jump there directly).

Fundamentally, OS X has well described, discoverable and recommended UI patterns that cover all these cases. iOS and iPad OS don't. It's unfortunate that Apple has decided the HIG isn't needed anymore, but that's more of an Apple thing, than an OS X capability thing.
Trust and theatre perhaps; and there is certainly a lot of precedence for it from China. And I don't think anyone is taking the news and numbers from China at face value.

Flip it around a bit. China has taken the actions they have to contain the virus, there are some indications of success. You think it's not enough or not done correctly. What would you have done instead?
I'm pretty sure N95 just tells you how many particles are filtered, and the sizes and for which size ranges it is more or less effective depend on the specific piece. Also, droplets are bigger than the naked virus particles and will get caught by the filter.
well of course they would break the rules and use iPhones, they're villains
That's quite a dishonest question. I asked a person that made a claim to provide examples of their claim. I have made no claims about TD inciting violence.
You missed the point. It is knee-jerk in the sense that a panic is had whenever certain kinds of words or phrases are uttered on social media. It is like people really believe the content in question is some sort of real-life spell that could cause someone actual harm or someone else to cause physical harm. Words are just words.

Actions and words are two very different things and we shouldn't lose sight of that lest we be stripped of our right to speak our mind.

Yet Another Raspberry Pi Media Player
Thank you Abe! The kind comments are appreciated!

So far we have gotten positive feedback. While this feature does not protect against root doing something malicious, it does allow admins to capture what root was doing up until they did something malicious and link that information to an identity (if using SSO).

Along with this feature we rolled out a Workflow API [1] that can be used to request role elevation. Once you add in session termination (which we are aiming for in the next release), you will have a powerful set of features that will allow you to start users out with limited access to your cluster with the ability to request more privileges and potentially automatically termination your session (and user) if you're found to be doing some malicious.

Not only is Reddit's moderation system designed to prevent users from seeing content, the upvote system itself does the same. You'd expect a generic sub such as /r/politics to be somewhat neutral, meaning you'd find opinions from right wingers, left wingers, and centrists alike. Instead, you see nothing but anti-Trump and pro-Bernie posts because a larger part of the user base is left leaning. You could describe Reddit as a form of true democracy, in the sense that everyone gets one vote that determines the success of a post or comment. When dealing with a true democracy, you quickly run into tyranny of the majority, which is a big reason why right wing opinions are quickly suppressed on what's supposed to be a neutral sub.

This is why Reddit sucks as a political forum. Along with more open and honest moderation, you would likely have to do some serious changes to the upvote system, or do away with it all together.
