Doesn't every planet? I'd be astonished if every planet completed a revolution in a perfect multiple of rotation time. Wouldn't it would have to be an engineered system if it did.

Or is that just tidal locking? I know the moon does something similar but there it seems like revolution time = rotation time, not perfect multiple.
Issuing debt doesn’t give up any of the upside like selling stock does. This is more like Apple selling off some portion of the iPhone business in exchange for cash. I think most people would interpret that as bad news for iPhones.

You don’t need 1.7m LOC to build a simple app that works well over different network conditions.

Speaking of garbage, looks like most of the 1.7m LOC on Messenger was actually garbage, now that they’ve literally thrown most of away.
That's just a matter of man power. Things take time, this sort of tooling wasn't the priority. The community was able to easily take over that space, and relying on Maven was a great way to start off.

If you look at Python, Pip appeared in 2011, where as Python launched in 1991. And if you look at the Python scene, it's pretty messy as well, just read this guide: https://packaging.python.org/guides/tool-recommendations/

Pip isn't even the recommended one to use anymore, slowly being superseded by Pipenv, yet you also have Poetry and conda and to package things you still need setup tools and you have to use twine to submit wheels to pypi, etc. And I still see a lot of guides telling you to use easyinstall still.

In Clojure, you had Maven first as the de facto, then Leiningen became de facto, and now you have an official one with tools.deps as the new de facto.
The Hong Kong government has actually done a solid job so far, considering they share a land border and high speed rail system with China.

NPR made the case that Hong Kong sacrificed too much for containment, but the underlying message is that their containment is working.

I also have a somewhat similar story, through a US lens:

I'm an American who calls Kraft Dinner, well, Kraft Dinner (instead of "Kraft Mac N' Cheese" as it's branded here in the US) specifically because 1) I'm a BNL fan and 2) "Kraft Dinner" is much less of a mouthful to say (but just as much of a mouthful to eat, naturally). I also like poutine, hockey, and maple syrup.

On that note, it's pretty interesting to me how bidirectional the cultural influences are between Canada and the US. Not entirely surprising, given that we're neighbors and all and already pretty similar culturally (comparatively speaking), but it's fascinating to me how much popular-in-the-US music and television ultimately comes from Canada.
Not sure how widely known it is but you can now ‘bring your own IP addresses’ to AWS. They will advertise down to a /24. Icedchai’s might not pass validation with the legacy status, not sure. Details on the AWS site. (Also I’m guessing other cloud providers do this, I’m just not familiar.)

- mobile / desktop apps. Very frontendy but less messy than web.

- start a business yourself with your skills to build the mvp then hire people to do the front end work and move to core business work

- build the mvp for another startup and move to core business work

- do more BI stuff. BI people will hire you to make charts and shit. Then you can learn BI there.

- make fake interfaces for movies ?

- teach
I'm guessing I'm who you meant to reply to, since I'm the one that mentioned Seattle.

What we're doing differently:

* Building way more. We had (have?) the most cranes per capita of any US city, and price inflation noticeably slowed – flatlining at times – in response to increased housing availability.

* Building taller: in addition to more development overall, I see more multi-story construction here, anecdotally.

* Investing and policing transit more aggressively. The light rail is much newer and better maintained than BART. Both trains and stations have officers on regular rotation. Stations are clean, and fare enforcement is a thing sometimes. Seattle's major stations (Westlake, Capitol Hill) feel nothing like their SF equivalents (Powell, Mission).

* The harsher climate isn't a thing we're "doing", but it likely makes Seattle a less desirable destination than SF for the chronically homeless, so it feels dishonest not to mention it as a factor.

This isn't to say that we're free from these issues – our problems differ in degree, but not in kind. But that change in degree has a palpable impact on everyday life.

Namely:

* It is possible (albeit expensive) for non-millionaires to purchase a home and raise a family here

* Traveling around the city on foot and via public transit is fairly pleasant outside (outside of rush hour)
not op, but i'm presently working on a project with a simple old school “no clientside deps, complex logic goes on the server” requirement, and i don't actually feel like i'm doing anything much different than when i work on react.

the project is pretty simple, and modern js is significantly improved, so the notion that you have to reinvent the wheel seems false.

I prefer to imagine that either there was no Cretaceous extinction, or that some Troodontids survived it, and went on to develop more useful forelimbs & human-like sentience. Imagine if we were reptile-bird people instead of primates.
Alvaro de Menard wrote an excellent summary of the long debate surrounding the Who was Homer? question. In his article [1] de Menard describes how Parry’s hypothesis accounted for aspects of the Iliad and Odyssey that could not be explained cleanly by prior theories.

This seems to be overstating things.

> COVID-19 seems to be most severe in older adults.

The median age of deaths is 75. I guess that’s technically “older adults” but I think “elderly” would be a better description.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/23/world/asia/coronavirus-vi...

> there are a number of indications that it will be very much like the 1918 Flu Pandemic

The New England Journal of Medicine has a different take:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387

It sounds increasingly likely that the fatality rate is less than 1%, potentially a lot less, as were now hearing that 80% of people don’t even get sick enough to seek medical attention, and many have no signs of illness at all — which means the denominator in the death rate is likely much higher than is accounted for in the common 2% metric from the first data.

> Expect people you know to die.

Aside from this likely being inaccurate, is this language even remotely helpful?
Or maybe a lot of people riding public transit are realizing they really miss their cars right about now, which isn't so great for the planet.
i mean, i live in nyc so i'm quite aware how terrible our healthcare is lol. i just meant in terms of coronavirus i would hope they offer some kind of free testing in light of the situation. it's still not in the american psyche to go, though. when i was in korea i was amazed that people would just go for every little thing.

Culture has many definitions, and most of them do involve generalizing a people. In the context of workplace culture, I believe it's explicitly not those things, but rather Merriam Webster's definition 1b:

"the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization"

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/culture
My own mental aggregation of news sources both local (which includes US government/CDC releases) and foreign sources to see what's happening in countries harder hit than the USA (Italy and Korea) to get a sense of what may be coming here. It's hard to put much credence in the news out of China since the government has such a tight hold on information.

Remember that public health policy is not about keeping you healthy, it's about keeping the general population healthy even if it puts some people at a higher risk, so you've literally got to take your own health and safety into your own hands. It's arguably good for public health to keep people going to their jobs, keeping shops and grocery stores open, keeping gas stations open, etc. But that grocery store cashier is exposing himself to hundreds of people every day, so he may be putting himself at risk even as he helps reduce the impact to others by helping them to buy food.

And now we're in an even worse situation where public health has been politicized in order to protect the current administration, so keeping people healthy may be sacrificed to keep the stock market healthy.

That doesn't mean people should abandon society and run for the hills, but when you see deaths and signs of community spread near you and it's clear that there's not enough testing to determine the scope of the illness, it's probably best to avoid large social gatherings, maybe skip going to the movie theater for a while. And if your company allows it, stop going to the office and work from home.
For those of you who don’t know me well, I am a preventive medicine physician and infectious disease epidemiologist. I graduated from the CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service and have over 17 years of experience in the field, most of that with CDC.

You could try joining a company that does webdev and something else you might enjoy. Then after a little time there doing webdev, get to know those in the other teams and see if you can get a chance to work with them.
Does everyone get that treatment? Seems like it would hurt recruitment of experienced engineers. I won’t work for mystery bucks when there are plenty of companies (including Google) that pay well with liquid stock.
What puts it in more relatable terms for me is if the death rate for elderly is 1 in 10, and the virus spreads into "basically everyone will get it" territory, statistically that will be several funerals for elderly family and friends I will attend this year. And while that isn't society-ending apocalypse, it's still impactful on a personal level.

At the company I work for (also a travel company), quite a few people in the call centre work remotely simply because the business grew faster than the building. IT had already started working remotely and after a few trials management just concluded it worked well. I'm not actually sure how many people work remotely now (I work on the other side of the planet, so I can't see them).
I have no idea whether she's "noteworthy", but yes, she's an epidemiologist. That, and her advice makes sense.

Even at it's peak monopoly, Microsoft wasn't as evil or delusional as Apple. It's suffocating to stay inside the "walled garden" of a deeply unethical, trillion dollar mega-corp, with zero self awareness of how much developers are starting to hate these artificial roadblocks. Why is Safari oh so special that it's extensions need Apple developer ID, approval and a $99 annual fee?

I was on the iPhone, from it's release date till the iPhone X. Switched to Android since, and have never felt more liberated. Same with my workhorse PC, WSL on Windows 10 is pretty cool, if a little slow on storage. But WSL2 will fix even that. So what exactly does Apple offer, other than 2X-3X markup on inferior hardware, with unlimited roadblocks to your dev workflow?

Neapolitan pizza is one thing, Roman pizza is another, and much more akin to New York-style pizza. One type is made in big rectangular pans and sold by weight, it's similar to Focaccia. There is also a round style that is thinner and crispier, which is the best IMO. Fold and eat.

Would it be worse for you if your 80 year old mother were to die or your 4 year old daughter?

Which would surprise and shock you more? Which would be the thing you are more prepared for, because you already had the thought in your head that this would happen at some time? Which would possibly be so devastating it could also end your relationship to your partner, redefine you as a person and totally change your life?
If we have to choose between having a 75 year old and a 5 year old die, most people would choose the 75 year old. They would be dying relatively soon anyways.

That statistic still only takes into account known and confirmed infections. Most reported deaths are from people who have other major health issues.

With reports of people being infected in nursing homes, there's a possibility that even the elderly are being silently infected and symptoms aren't severe enough for them to seek treatment. It seems like there's some unknown factor that makes some people extremely sensitive to it, while others feel nothing at all.
Day of the Dead is one of my favorite holidays for very similar reasons. It's fun watching it evolve and expand in real time year after year. It's that perfect intersection of novelty and tradition, and all the while reframes mortality in a refreshingly positive light.

And besides, who doesn't love dead bread?
