> A jail sentence means more than just time in prison. If an offender is sent to prison, the judge will decide how long he should spend in custody, but time in prison is just one part of the sentence. Offenders always complete their full sentence but usually half the time is spent in prison and the rest is spent on licence. While on licence, an offender can be sent back to prison if they break its terms.

> The system of serving half a sentence in prison and half on licence was introduced by Parliament, and is not something that judges or magistrates have any control over.

https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/about-sentencing/types-...

> Offenders sentenced to two years or more will serve half their sentence in prison and serve the rest of the sentence in the community on licence. While on licence an offender will be subject to supervision and the licence will include conditions. If an offender breaches their conditions, they may be recalled to prison.

The supervision will continue for longer than the sentence.
No, the handling of the situation is worse than has been widely reported in the west. Japan is functionally doing nothing to contain it’s spread right now:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/opinion/coronavirus-japan...

Japan has very poor rankings on press freedom, reporters are routinely fired for questioning the government, and Abe has a long history of being a dishonest, self-serving, authoritarian.

They should be responding like Korea has been, but instead are just ignoring the situation.
How to Make a Booking App and Website: Step-by-Step Process, Features, & Tips
An example would be Glitch or Codepen creating commits on each code change, to allow undo/redo of a project over a broader range of time.

Glitch already has this feature although it’s currently a bit buggy. It may even be based on isomorphic git, not sure.
Hopefully you have running water. I'd still recommend keeping some TP in case water goes out in toilet.
That needs to be tested eventually - there's a reason we go from petridish testing to animal testing to human testing with medicine, it stands to reason that medical tools should follow similar stages.
Sure, so prove that add(x1, x2, ..., xn) is equal to any permutation of the numbers x1, ..., xn. You still need to prove that add(x, add(y, z)) = add(x, y, z). So now you have two things to prove...

This attitude is another example of why private healthcare is a very bad idea.
I see you’re still hard at work spreading the falsehood that “it’s just like the flu, unless you’re old or sick”.

1. I find the lack of concern about dramatically higher mortality rates for the old and the sick to be reprehensible. They’re people, even if they’re older or sicker than you.

2. It doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense for China to shut down the economy over something so minor.

3. The hospitalization rate is a serious concern that you’re overlooking.

4. Most importantly, your premise that it’s no more dangerous than the flu for the young and healthy is completely false. The fatality rate for flu for 18-49 year olds in the US is 0.02% [1], and this looks to be at least 20x higher than that for that age group, based on the data we have so far.

World health officials, medical experts, epidemiologists, virologists, etc, all seem to be taking this very seriously and are quite concerned. I think I’ll take my cues from them.

> TLS certs still have unique serials

In TLS 1.3 everything sent by the server, including its certificate, is encrypted.

This is possible because of a re-ordering of considerations. It used to be that the conversation starts like this:

Client: "Hi, I want to talk to Server?"

Server: "Here's a certificate for Server, which is me"

Client: [ "Secret is 123456" encrypted using the Public Key from the certificate for Server ]

Server: [ "See, it's me" encrypted using the secret 123456 ]

But in TLS 1.3 it starts like this:

Client: "Hi, I want to talk to Server and I used ECDHE to pick this number 123"

Server: "I used ECDHE and I picked 456..." [ "I am Server, here's a Certificate for Server, and here's a signature proving the conversation we're having right now is with me, Server, which you can verify using the Public Key in that Certificate" encrypted using the secret 987654 ]

ECDHE allows Client and Server to agree the secret key 987654 even though the information they publish to agree on it (123 and 456) is public for anyone to see. Its predecessor Diffie Hellman is easier to understand if you never got past high school mathematics, so research that if you've never seen this trick before.

You'll notice this is also less round trips (so better performance over high latency links) as well as being more secure and more future-proof.
Can't comment on France, and of course it's a generalization, but in Germany people love to follow the rules. Just watch how people cross the road without looking left or right, but obeying only the light. Sometimes other pedestrians will shout at you if you walk across the road when the light isn't green.
Nice. Dictionary unions are an annoyance in Python currently.
Relative differences can be completely meaningless if the absolute numbers are tiny. The chance of you being hit by a meteorite in your lifetime is 1 out of 700'000 and being bitten by a shark is 1 out of 8'000'000. Does that mean you should worry more 10 times more about being hit by a rock from space?

No, both are such small numbers that you shouldn't worry about either.
I don’t know why people are assuming we can create a vaccine. There’s no vaccine for any other corona virus.

We still have to deal with the media who are touting “Chicken Little” of all kinds since 1912.

Media does make it harder to legitimized Climate Studies.

And not factoring in urban heat on those 7,200 US temperature-reading stations that existed since 1973 remains problematic toward Data Science.

Arguably the simplest notation for string concatenation would be just concatenation (which would be the notation for multiplication, hence why Julia's choice could be argued to eb the most natural). Unfortunately programming languages can't quite deal with the ambiguity of having `a (x + y)` and `f(x)` refer to different operations.

Some languages seem to allow it for string literals though.
Brave is basically chromium with and adblock build in there is nothing more or less to it for privacy.

A lot of the negative feedback comes from the fact that the company needed to have high community backslashes or potential for legal issues before they would act. They also did false advertisement.

I personally opt out if something appears sketchy. I still question the privacy or user focus and so should everyone with software that claims privacy first.
You need chemical treatment and not boiling for rainwater. It is often chemically polluted because we're still burning contaminated hydrocarbons, typically with NOx or SOx (nitrates or sulphates). These are rather unhealthy, but in a short emergency it's fine.

You definitely want to boil river or lake water.

Yes, well known operators like `+` with well known meanings are useful.

Why would you write a post about this? Is there some kind of disagreement out there about this? I can't think of any popular language that doesn't have it!

Now, consider this instead:

n <> x &~ n

Not only do you not know how to parse this without further knowledge, you also can't pronouce it in a meaningful way or hope to guess what it means.
When you have an initial outbreak, you have a single original source of the incident and no possibility of people outside the area bringing in additional sources of the virus, because the virus hasn't spread outside the area yet. If you contain it locally, you have contained it completely, full stop.

The situation for other countries is completely different. Someone could fly into Japan right now from anywhere in the world carrying the contagion at any time. It was brought into Japan by multiple carriers at different times and different places. You can contain one incoming source, and three more will spring up. It's a completely different problem.
I can see by the way you write, you have read enough Buddhist texts.

One thing I would clarify is that Buddhism, as taught by Buddha, doesn’t have beliefs. It has hypotheses that are proved causally and tasted experiential you during deep attention and awareness. The word used by Buddha is “Ehipassiko”, translated as come and see for yourself.

Carry on with your journey of mathematics and I wish you all the success!

Long chain of causation from A to Z, where A and Z are not intuitively connected.

Also, volcanos are pretty chaotic themselves.

Non-butterfly would be: due to increasing population size and a growth of cities and long distance commerce, people invented cars. A very stable reason, not reliant on something fragile.

Butterfly: the balance of magma happened to be in a certain particular configuration, which ultimately lead to a revolution in our lifestyle. Had the magma been slightly different, we'd be on horseback.

Again, maybe the story above does not add up, but if it does, it deserves to be called butterfly.
Both... at the same time? I.e. they are associative?

If only one at a time, then perhaps there is. But TBH I can't think of an example from the top of my head right now.
The official history says Peter the Great of Russia used that door to eavesdrop the British Parliament while he was invited to the UK. He was wondered and puzzled by hearing democratic Parliament, as we all know, British people are very noisy, when the gather together, they all speak simultaneously.

Russia (like China, India and then Arabs) was occupied by Mongols and had no connection to Europe for centuries.

Sidenote, feedback on https://solcast.com/rooftop-solar/free-pv-system-performance... from a non-specialist:

I know the tool targets existing solar users, but as a potential user, it would help me answer the question "Should I get a 5kw solar panel?". For the same input on the left, I'd like to see historic monthly data for the past 3 years, telling me how much energy my potential panels would generate per year.
Also, would be useful to include some info on how much of that energy would actually used when passing through batteries and all the system. If some panels 100kwh in a month, that doesn't mean I can simply subtract 100kwh from my energy bill, but how much could I subtract?
I can almost imagine Boris Johnson pushing everybody aside whilst approaching the tiny door and screaming: "Let me through,let me through! The gold is all mine,the gold is all mine!"

It doesn't seem the visits of the website have gone up in the past days, it's on 4 million average monthly, but the site is very slow and finding what you're looking for takes time since the result are not always relevant. nonetheless, the project is amazing and I'm sure over time it will become much more stable.
I wonder how much of the failure to sell carbon credits is from the positioning (in x-y screen space and in t) alongside “pay extra for a seat near the front?”, “pay extra to check a bag?”, “pay extra to sit near your family?”, “pay extra for trip insurance?”, “pay extra for WiFi?” and other nibbles at the wallet while you have it out?

I’m also skeptical that these sold carbon offsets actually result in any actual marginal change in the world, but I think it’s more the choice fatigue and feeling of being one more way to be nickel and dimed...

> Do you believe it's ethical for a user agent to block ads, or that it's unethical and a form of theft?

It's ethical if the user chooses to do so due to privacy concerns or other related reasons.

It is NOT ethical if the maker of the user-agent is profiting from it, being essentially copyright infringement.

Projects like uBlock Origin are very different from Brave, because the company behind Brave directly profits from blocking ads. Without ads and ads blocking, Brave doesn't have a business.
A lot of these things were established long before mathematicians started talking about functions, let alone give a robust definition of what a function is. It may have obscured the fact that these things are very similar to each other.

At the point when there was an effort to formalize these things ideas like RPN starting popping up.

Mathematics also deals with a much more flexible medium. It's written on a plane, in 2 dimensions, whereas programmers confine themselves to just one. Mathematicians are also free to make up their own notation and symbols, whereas programmers are confined to a single alphabet and most often can't extend the syntax.

EDIT: Case in point: some mathematicians argued for a while if abs (absolute value) is a function. Some argued that it's not, because you need two formulas to define it. When somebody pointed out that (for real numbers) it's just "sqrt(x^2)", the first ones agreed. Sounds silly in retrospect now that we have a set-theoretic definition, but at the time it wasn't obvious and all these functions looked very different from each other.
I don't dispute simplicity is a good thing. I'm just wary about fake quotes since it is really a distortion of history.

Ask HN: Modern framework to create forms and store its results
After a few years of working as a physio for others, my partner is finally starting her clinic soon. The question for the software she needs to run the whole thing arises. /me wanting to help as much as I can, I've looking for the best options for accounting, CMS, payroll...

But for the "initial interview" she conducts with all incoming patients to gather information for a diagnostic. I haven't found any candidates that fit her needs. I'm thinking of building a small tool with her tailor-made questions easy to use and maintain.

Across the different projects I've worked for, I've seen lots of basic CRUD/form web apps being built with different stacks and general-purpose frameworks, but all ended up being hard to maintain and bloated in features. Maybe Django forms were the exception to that rule. I also took a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/8ghoy1/looking_for_self_hosted_form_builders and tried a few of the options outlined there but none convinced me.

Do you guys know some modern and OSS form-builder I can use for this?

TL;DR: I'm looking for something like MS Access but modern, self-hosted and -hopefully- better looking to build custom forms, store and consume results.

Yes, people don't want any solution that would result in the slightest inconvenience in the present. So we'll have the end of civilization instead.

I didn't say that all the listed problems were caused by the goal of being familiar.

Here are estimates from MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis at Imperial College:

=> Estimated fatality ratio for infections 1% (including those who don't go to see doctors)

=> Estimated Case Fatality Rate (CFR) for travellers outside mainland China (mix severe & milder cases) 1%-5%

=> Estimated CFR for detected cases in Hubei (severe cases) 18%

The last line (18%) applies when the outbreak becomes prevalent in an area and overwhelm hospital capacity. If not contained, dozens of cities around the world may become Hubei!

Ref: Report 4 here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-infectious-disease-ana....

From Report 6: "we estimated that about two thirds of COVID-19 cases exported from mainland China have remained undetected worldwide, potentially resulting in multiple chains of as yet undetected human-to-human transmission outside mainland China."

This argument is comparable to thinking that a painting is only worth the materials it’s made out of, and everything else is worthless. A doctor and their staff have trained for decades in order to handle your health, why in the world do you think you can do it after some googling?
