Editing in response to the comments below ...

This submission is of a different resource. This resource goes into more detail about lots of things. However, the "Flatten the Curve" idea had already been submitted in the referenced submission above. It was less complete, but had already sparked a large discussion.

So should the resulting discussion be started all over again here on this, more complete submission? Or should the discussion remain in one primary location to avoid repetition and to gather the insights, thoughts, rebuttals etc in one place?

Who knows ... I provided the cross-reference to allow the decision to be made. This submission has now hit the top spot on the front page and is spawning a conversation. So the decision is made, and the cross-reference has been rendered moot.

Further edit ...

I think it unreasonable that the people who responded to me should be downvoted, and I've upvoted them in an attempt to balance that. I think the comments are fair and reasonable, and belong in the discussion.
That just sounds like more micromanagement to me?

Some related phrases:

* "We already tried that."

* Once bitten, twice shy.

* Not giving the idea a chance; not giving it a fair shake.

* Giving up on an idea too easily.

* Closing your mind to a possibility.

For what it's worth, I think both the poor implementation and the wrong conclusion can be either deliberate or accidental. In this case, the poor implementation was almost definitely accidental, and most likely the reporter isn't actively trying to discredit the idea; they are just leaping to a conclusion. So the best phrase might be vary depending on whether it's just poor reasoning or an underhanded attempt to manipulate people's views.

Also, on a tangent, there's probably some validity to this kind of reasoning. Sometimes in problem-solving there are almost an infinite number of things you could try. If you spend all your resources going down one particular rat hole that doesn't seem to be working, you may never move on to exploring the rest of the solution space. In practice, it can make a lot of sense to essentially do a breadth-first search of possible approaches. The error isn't in using a breadth-first order; it's in deleting things from the FIFO queue of stuff to try eventually (or never adding). And the other common error is in assuming you can't or shouldn't try to do both in parallel.
But industrializing fast just gets you to one point: two problems with that in Bulgaria.

First: yeah, this was a good thing .. until technology moved forward which was very hard to replicate in plan economies.. in Bulgaria hard industry and many factories were built without good economy reasons and they didnt really compete with western stuff which was made obvious after the changes. Yes, some of this privatization stuff seemed so chaotic and yes, we did have our own mafia years.. but AFAIK it was deeply (and still is) connected to the same class that ran the "communist" country before that

which gets me to the second point: you cant just say economic equality, without context: yes, on paper stuff was like this, but from what i've heard reality was much more a gray zone: inequality was being pronounced in other means, ability to travel, development in army/life/job(after all: you didnt have much choice as the government decided on most of that), all kinds of car/apartment/other government assistance things, secret police pressure: it wasnt a rosy picture just to get stuff that is available in many nordic countries
That's literally the point. Tests are getting refused so someone (like yourself) can respond with "But so-and-so says there are only X cases!!!!!"

This isn't an accident.

It does feel like it'd be great to combine VR headsets with hand gestures (gloves or rings maybe?). In the video for example, your slack window is far away. My immediate instinct was to grab that slack window closer to me.

The diagnose was just "viral pneumonia" and they were refused the test for COVID-19.

If they do not want to increase the number of people infected of coronavirus, they will probably give you a diagnosis of "viral pneumonia" and refuse to test you so you cannot be counted in the coronavirus toll.

We use this as well. It's alright, but really only useful for user accounts. I wish they would focus more on writing extensions for third-party services (think: Jenkins), so that it also becomes useful for service accounts.

I understand the businessy logic that nothing is so fundamentally qualitative that it shouldn't be quantified. But you'll always be safer if you keep rich qualitative models and treat quantification as gravy on top of that.

The extreme opposite of rich qualitative models is the Soviet method of material balances. Halfway through there's the McNamara Fallacy:

Many people are upset I called antidepressant placebo. It’s obviously a huge discussion out of the scope of this thread. But keep in mind that companies make a ton of money selling SSRIs and _still_ have trouble differentiating results from placebo, despite arguable massive publication bias influenced by big pharm.

Furthermore the metrics for these things are the most subjective thing in the world, surveys of humans. Most statisticians consider that data very low value but it’s the foundation of modern psychiatry.

Placebo is great if it works, sure, but psych meds have a long list of side effects. It’s be better to get placebo healed by your local witch doctor than a medical doctor, if you’re just relying on placebo.

Again it’s a big discussion and of course I’m open minded to learning more but on the flip side a lot of people take modern psychiatry as infallible medicine despite a lot of flaws.
What's the difference between outside free and the prep for a proposal?

I mean, I'm not going to sign if you don't provide a status and plan with costs, so you're doing something like this for free, right?

What you are currently describing sounds like it would be seen in an art installation somewhere at a museum or sponsored-expo. So to navigate those channels you would have to be good at networking in the art/non-profit scene to find paid work.

I don't think there are many companies that just wake up and say "we want to hire someone full time that makes (things like what you described)".

If there are, then search the web for such companies and see if you can send them a portfolio and resume, or if they have open positions posted already.

If you are hitting lots of roadblocks, then the next step would be to make this art on your own, market it on youtube, and monetize the projects through sales of art, ad revenue, individual donations, and so on. Then you can file taxes as a 1099 sole proprietor and you can start deducting the cost of expenses, and you've effectively "made your own job".

Good luck and enjoy!!
Yeah, that is a very fair point. I suppose if i can shave a few bytes per request, why not, and if the parsing is indeed faster, than all the better.

I havent had need to deal with such constraints personally, but maybe its something I should consider more. It doesnt need to be a 10x win to still be useful, and if its a simple import to use then i would likely be crazy not to consider it.

Italy has a nationwide travel ban right now. The goal is to avoid completely overwhelming the health services rather than to keep the rate at zero

I go back and forth on this all the time. We have a variety of projects at work and relatively few bodies working on them. Definitely more projects than programmers.

Part of me feels like using "overkill" frameworks for everything is a better bet. It builds more familiarity and expertise. It certain makes some projects more complex than they need to be, but it makes it easier to switch from project to project.
Done. Yes maybe the timing is right for you, we were probably a bit too early when we launched our product!

Beware that Github recently acquired Semmle, they had one of the best static analysis offerings and I think Github acquired them to integrate their solution natively into the platform, so I wouldn't focus exclusively on Github as they might become your competitor very soon. In many enterprise settings Gitlab seems to be the more popular choice already, so it might be worth looking at integrating with that as well.
To be fair, the “ethical dubiousness” of Scientology isn’t much different from the chatholic church, Islam or other organized religions.

They’ve just been the target of specific bad press, which they’re naturally trying to rectify.

And I mean sure we can argue without end if preventing medical care to mentally disabled people is worse or less severe than harboring and protecting child molesters, or if it’s more unrealistic that we all have Alien soul fragments from a Vulcano explosion or that a superhuman beings once defied the laws of biology, chemistry and physics all in ways that are less impressive than what David Copperfield can pull off without assistance. But at the end of the day the all fit in the catagory of “Tax avoiding institutions based on a belief in obvious falsehoods harboring and protecting criminal behavior in their organizations”

At time it honestly seems that the Mobs biggest mistake was not openly proclaiming a belief in man-bear-pig to justify their operations.

> "Do not make password visible to shared contacts" are a huge PITA with no real benefit

While it is an inconvenience, like most security, I suspect the benefit is that folks can't just write down or copy a shared password somewhere else. It keeps it relatively contained, for times when employees leave the company. I'm unsure whether or not a determined user could get the password anyway.

The sync is slow-ish; I moved an entry to a shared folder and it took 20 minutes to become available to others.
Czech Republic is going to be worse than Italy in 2 weeks, i think at least 700 cases. Today noone wears even masks, people are apathetic, quarantine is absolutely not being taken seriously, people happily went skiing to Italy, even joking that the ski slopes will be emptier. Mostly no testing happens, not even temperature monitoring. Hospitals are absolutely not ready, there is a constant discussion of massive healthcare problems even when there is no virus. Respirators have been banned from trade but not even the government buys them so healthcare is already in crisis. Noone trusts the government because it has already lied about many absolutely insignificant things regarding the virus. It's a clusterfuck and it's just the first hundred of cases now. Today they found out that Praguese taxi driver was infected for 3 days while working, they still have no idea who he met. This all is due to Andrej Babis's desperate actions to keep himself in the government and not go to prison.
>Thomas Nicely, a professor of mathematics at Lynchburg College, had written code to enumerate primes, twin primes, prime triplets, and prime quadruplets. Nicely noticed some inconsistencies in the calculations on June 13, 1994, shortly after adding a Pentium system to his group of computers, but was unable to eliminate other factors (such as programming errors, motherboard chipsets, etc.) until October 19, 1994. On October 24, 1994, he reported the issue to Intel.

Can you imagine debugging this for that many months only to find out there was nothing on your end to fix.

A close friend of mine suffered from clinical depression for approximately 8 years and after all conventional medical approaches it was 1 dose of approximately 125 micrograms of LSD that solved that depression within minutes for several months completely. Obviously, he had to continue to work on the underlying issues as well so as not to fall into a negative cycle again.

I use Keeper at my current job and find it to be a horrendously bad UX.

Off the top of my head:

1) The browser plugin is horribly written and has cause me numerous problems (Linux latop, YMMV), mostly related to performance and memory usage (both very bad).

2) Horrible 2FA management. You can configure Keeper to not ask you for your 2FA on a device for an hour, 30 days, or never again (iirc) and sometimes it'll just stop asking (like it did for me just now) or switch to a different 2FA for no obvious reason (I have both a security key and OTP).

3) Personal Opinion: I hate the layout of the "vault" and the browser extension's windows. I find all of them to be clunky and hard to use.

On the plus side, I do like how the actual records work. Most fields are optional and they have a decent custom field system. So, you can store pretty much anything in a reasonable way (from database credentials to PII, if you're into that).

"Hardware" runs a lot more complex software nowadays than in the past. So it's more exploitable. Also, tools for probing hardware are more available and affordable.

But any parser needs valid checks of this kind, including the JSON one.

A common way to mess with JSON parsers is e.g. to nest a lot arrays and objects. So you needs max nesting depth. There are a bunch of other ways to mess with JSON parsers, too.

(In case of MsgPack lists and maps: A parser should only per-allocate memory for given size if it has done proper sanity checks, e.g. compares the given length with the remaining byte length of the message. Also you can simply not preallocate and instead, like in JSON parsers, grow your list on demand and just use the length to know when the list ends).

But yes you have to make sure the parser works for your use case.

Jobs' decision to ship NeXT on 68k at the very moment when the architecture fell behind basically crippled the platform. Superscalar pipelined architectures were taking off, and where Intel managed to catch up with the Pentium and pull ahead with the P6 and derivatives, Motorla just never got it done. So while the NeXT was adequate (if somewhat slow) in 1988 by 1993 (when Intel released the Pentium, meaning that the whole industry was now expecting >1 IPS performance) it was kind of a joke.

While SPARC was proprietary (and PA and POWER were still in the future) MIPS was actually shipping chips at the time for general sale. Why NeXT didn't go with them I don't know.
Yeah it's been very eye-opening to me too. Prior to this school she was teaching on a Navajo reservation near the Idaho/Utah border. I didn't realize just how bad reservations are. There she said she had students that often only had 1 or 2 outfits and would wear the same clothes to school every day, so she'd find reasons to 'reward' clothing and she'd go to thrift stores and buy a bunch of t-shirts/jackets/hoodies. She also had a lot of students who's parent(s) were in jail/prison and were living with relatives, students that had been sexually assaulted by relatives, students that absolutely did not want to be there but came anyway for the meals.

It just blows my mind that even here in the United States you can have kids graduating high school with 2-year Associates degrees as well that have access to 'robotics labs' and the like while you have kids, sometimes in the same city, that have to do laundry at school.

If you start massaging reddit and various teacher's forums, you can see this over and over though in apparently every state in the United States. Schools with all the fancy stuff and schools that are basically places for kids to come to eat 2 meals and try and stay out of trouble for a third of the day.

What gets me also is the sort of things students write on their papers/tests. She'll show them to me as she grades them and you'll have very nihlistic catoons drawn out as maths answers or "I'm stupid fail me" "I don't get this fail me" type phrases or just complete nonsense written. She showed me one recently where the student had to have spent the entire test writing and stylizing her name in some elaborate work while not answering a single question.

I definitely have a lot more respect for teachers now than I did prior to meeting her.
This is an online forum for technically minded people -- none of these comments result in prescribing public policy. Like you, I am only an armchair expert in this particular field, but it seems like a perfectly fine medium to discuss and debate new hypotheses. Not every idea needs to be put forward by someone with the right badge to be worth discussing, especially on an open forum, so please don't try to limit intellectual discussion simply because of fear.

Yes, but if you follow the discussions, the clear consensus was to use SPIR-V. Except Apple, who came up with all kinds of technical reasons not to use it, before eventually admitting they have a legal dispute with Khronos group. Now we get this weird language that is SPIR-V in text form but not by Khronos, and suddenly there is consensus.
I think this mindset is outdated. Svelte itself is already a few years old.

If you live in the San Francisco Bay area, sales taxes in SF are 8.5% Tax rates in Oakland are 9.25%. South San Francisco: 9.75% Mountain View: 9% Humboldt County: 7.75% Sonoma: 8.75%

The mental effort is not in the calculation but in figuring out what the tax rate is where you are. There really is no excuse for retailers not listing "tax-included" prices.

My company has used CICS for this purpose since forever and we're not so much a legacy that you will think about our architecture in this way if we talked about it, but CICS is a very rare interface in this era.

I enjoyed learning Svelte; it was fun to use when I rebuilt a personal project from scratch using it[1].

I'm trying to think of some downsides to balance my enthusiasm for the framework, but can't think of any. The article mentions the smaller community as a possible issue, but the community on Discord seem very welcoming.

Re "using Svelte means adopting a new language" - it didn't feel like that to me. Every framework has its own way of doing things; Svelte's way didn't annoy me as much as some other frameworks have done in the past (eg: Angular before it became Angular2).

I've got another personal project rebuild coming up - I reckon I'll be treating that as an opportunity to learn more Svelte.

As far as I know Github has their own technology for blocking code pushes that contains e.g. AWS secrets. I think it happened a lot that people pushed such secrets to the platform and Github's streaming API makes/made it really easy for adversaries to catch those and start abusing them within seconds.
