I've built and maintained a generator for one of those vendor-specific eclipse IDEs. It was an absolute nightmare I don't recommend to anyone, but not for any of the reasons you'd imagine. CMake itself is easy to build / read. Implement a few functions and you'll quickly have something workable. The issues came from elsewhere:

* None of the graphical CMake tools allow you to select the CMake binary, so you'd get users using the wrong binary and not seeing the generator mentioned in docs.

* When things break elsewhere, it's "your responsibility" to fix it in the generator. People put meaningless, nonsensical junk in their CMake files and expect it to output something that builds. Doesn't matter that the build script or the IDE are fundamentally broken, people just want the output so they can get back to their work. They don't want to yak shave.

* Vendor tooling code quality is somehow even worse than the actual product they provide. Dropping every 4096th character from stdin? Why not? Not generating debug info for files with uppercase letters in the filename? Sure. I won't name names, but they're a billion dollar EDA vendor whose initials are MG.

Avoid CMake generators like the plague unless you want to spend the next bit of your life debugging your vendor tools and supporting every workflow quirk your coworkers have.

Exactly this. I don’t have published numbers to back the following, but we expect them after the weekend.
Over half of ICU admitted covid-19 patients in the Netherlands are <50 years old. I get this information from friends and colleagues working in several hospitals. If this turns out to not be a fluke, the young are much more affected by this corona virus vs normal flu.
Actually all you need to move money is an account and routing number. In US banks, that's all you need for an ACH pull. No password, no pin, no nothing. Learned that the hard way when a friend accidentally stole $5000 from me because he thought my account number was his.
Can you cite a source? Current Chinese treatment guidelines allow it.

Also very important to quantify side effect risks, even if it's a rough estimate. For example, if a 70 year old patient has already progressed to dyspena, they might have something like a 20% mortality rate from COVID. Even if there is a side effect profile for the treatment that normally would be considered very dangerous, it may be well worth it to administer it.

We see the same thing with chemotherapy or radiation treatment. The side effects are terrible and fairly often fatal, but they are safer than the disease. This is the situation in which we find ourselves.
What I don't understand is... Won't this just flare up again in another city the size of Wuhan at some point?

It's not about stopping the pandemic altogether - it's about reducing the number of people in critical condition at a given time. Italy it's already at peak capacity in it's ICUs, and only thorough social distancing it's possible to reduce the number of people at risk getting infected and clogging an health system that is already short on ventilators and hospital beds.
It’s structured so that these operations can be done pretty much instantaneously. Schema is sort of asserted at read time, not write time.

I highly recommend the talk “Domain modeling and with Datalog”[1]. It gives an explanation of how all this works, including indexing.

Thry silenced doctors, faked numbers to the medical community and eventually the lockdown was to save the Chinese economy & people not to stop the spread overseas, however, I’m sure the communist party will claim that.
The point is that according to what the official Chinese medical line is, it works in vivo. This is apparently confirmed by Korean experience. I understand the skepticism, but you go to war with the data you have, and the data we have indicates Chloroquine works.
Thanks for calling me a fool! I think i will not die or even suffer from serious illness with regards to covid 19. My mom in her 80s has higher risks..but she's more worried than me so she'd have a lower chance of getting infected perhaps. And given her age. Even if it weren't covid-19 i wouldn't be surprised if she had medical issues in the coming years.
It's a one-word way to say "there might be something wrong with this idea."

It might be clear from the context what the wrongness might be, or it might be a gateway for more elaboration/discussion.

It seems like a perfectly fine construction to me, and a good example of the efficiency mentioned in the grandparent comment.
That is what happens when one stays with AWT, does everything on the main thread, and doesn't bother to read Java UI design books like Filthy Rich Clients, or integrate component libraries like JGoddies.

However I do agree Visual Basic and Delphi were much better, and if Java hadn't happened we wouldn't have lost 20 years playing around with VMs and dynamic languages, to finally start paying attention to AOT, value types on type safe languages.

Nope! Napkin math will treat all cows as spherical. However, if they are traveling and meeting way more people, it's also likely they are spreading it far more in addition to having it at a higher rate than the more socially distant segment of the population. Also, would likely indicate vast amounts of community spread that is going completely undetected.

>there is no clear consensus among UK experts for the UK government's position

Well there is a huge government drive to portray that this is the case right now.

Whenever that happens, it always arouses suspicion that something is not quite right.

As a group, it's hard to imagine that UK experts in Epidemiology and related fields deviates significantly from their peers globally.
The Covid Tracking Project
I flagged this because it was published in January nearly a month earlier than the WHO's verification.

Essentially this was not in bad faith when it was published but it is now so out of date and misleading and sharing it now is dangerous in that it may cause people to ignore safety advice.
Don't worry about rights now, if you leave the door open and people walk about they will get even more decisive action from the virus, and gift the virus to others.

With the population it has, China could have been in a much much worse shape today were it not for the quarantine.
Yeah, PowerShell is the only mainstream shell that behaves like the REPL environments from Xerox PARC workstations.

Yep, but make sure you conduct your examination and evaluation in a polite and civil manner. Otherwise you're just being contrarian and rude.

I believe in free speech, but I also believe that rude, insulting, thoughtless or incendiary speech deserves to be soundly ignored.
Philosophically you don't have a leg to stand on making an argument for or against what is in the best interest of an incommunicable intelligent species.

For instance, you might be able to infer what a dairy cow desires, but that dairy cow's intelligence was molded by a dairy system. It is impossible to project that onto another instance even of the same species.

Is one wild deer thriving and happy with a meaningful attachment to family, and another suffering for nourishment daily? Likely.

Even concerted conservation efforts end up with unanticipated ramifications for the target and other species. The preservation of endangered species, particularly megafauna, is largely for the sake of human desires and human scientific purposes. And ironically, some of these preserved species are so captive (imprinted by our human environment for them) that they decide not to breed, not to continue their entire species. And it is the humans that are sad about it, not them.

For human morality's sake, then, I would posit that we are left only with the choice to take no action. We will either let wild be wild, or will be playing a human-centric game for eternity. There is no way to construct a world that is somehow better for other species and for us.

We either wild our own species, divide ourselves from the wild geographically, or live with the moral baggage of subjugating other species... Trying to minimize suffering based on our folly human ideas of where righteousness begins and ends.

PS I also play that righteousness game and eat a plant-based diet, take part in conservation efforts, etc. But I do so knowing it is a delusion :)
Eventually those scripts will turn into full fledged programs that no one knows what they do, specially since most of these build programming languages lack debugging features.
well keepassxc has a portable version on Windows (and a similar appimage on linux) so if you can run it from a USB in your place of work then you wouldn't need to set anything up each time you use a new comptuer.

you could also download your keepass file from something like dropbox either, but that would be a bit more effort if you were creating new passwords in work since you would have to upload it again after
Agree. It seems to me like a clear case of Western arrogance and exceptionalism, built around some strange (unconscious) assumption that what happens in China (or elsewhere in Asia) just cannot happen in the West. Hopefully, this will end up in history books as an important lesson how not to look at the world.

> I am shocked but not surprised by the behavior of my fellow citizens. Many people still went out shopping, went to the restaurants, still think it is a simple seasonal flu and do not at all comply with the recommendations of avoiding contacts.

This is what happened in Italy as well. 1. people are recommended to stay the fuck home and reduce physical interactions 2. most people don't care and carry on with their normal life 3. state now needs to enforce harsh rules because people don't seem to understand that it's serious 4. some people still don't care, go to parks, beaches, private parties
It's worrying that the US might be doing the same thing but without openly saying it. Little is being done here about the virus. Most people can't get tested. The Senate took a vacation. The Republican Party doesn't want older and unhealthy people depending on social programs. Pray the virus away. Suffering will bring people to God.

Coronavirus: Why it’s so deadly in Italy
Leaked image shows iPhone 12 A14 processor clocked at 3.1GHz
It's a great and tough question, and to be totally honest I don't have a fully formed view on this. It does seem like a life lived on a farm with humans could have significantly less suffering than a live in the wild. If the animal is (i) not being used for some byproduct, e.g., being repeatedly inseminated for milk (ii) has enough volition, or freedom to roam, and reproduce in some (possibly controlled) manner, it seems like such a life could be quite good for an animal. There are probably many small family farms that keep animals for pleasure and not to raise for meat that practice this sort of ethical farming.

One argument against this sort of intervention comes from my experience living with our family dog (we've had him for five years). He is a calm and intelligent dog who I feel has had a good life, but I feel sometimes that it is a very restrictive one. He can't do whatever he wants, and is separated from other creatures like himself. My feeling is that his life was worth living, but there is an element of guilt when I think about how free he is, and once he passes away I don't think I will keep a pet in a future family I start.

It's very hard to say what these creatures who cannot speak up for themselves really want, and whether we should interfere with their lives to prevent suffering that's inherent in nature.

Do you have any thoughts on this? Please let me know if you have any books/resources to recommend. I'm planning to read Singer's Animal Liberation soon, which will probably discuss this question.
This is amazing - I wonder if some luck was involved. I’m sure they were deliberately trying to make strong/lasting concrete but they couldn’t have tested it over hundreds of years, let alone 1000s. Is there a degree of chance to it being this effective?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_steel
So, recently I played with Windows10 IoT.

Win10 IoT is written to the SD card, and left to first-boot inside the Pi (this bit takes AGES). While it's doing that you install the Win IoT dashboard toolkit onto your PC (Windows only). The Dashboard will find your Win10 IoT Pi on the network, there's a few demo apps pre installed you can play with. It's a free OS, but you need to pay for a dev licence if you want it to not reboot every 24 hours. (There's also an on screen non-production warning).

Now you fire up Visual Studio, which has gained the ability to build C# apps on ARM. You write a small app, including using the visual form designer, and you debug using the PC based Win IoT emulator, or you deploy it directly (using VS) to the the Pi.

Once you are happy with your app, you have to bake it into a new OS image that gets written to the SD card(s) for proper deployment.

Win10 IoT can only run one app in the foreground. It does not have a classic desktop, which should be fine for embedded or kiosk type applications.

Personally, I found it clunky and slow, even on a fast Pi. There's also a fair amount of restrictions applied to your app (think the same restrictions as an Android or iOS app) so if you are used to your C# app having full (read) access to the machine it's running on, you won't get that on Win IoT.

If you want to develop GUI rich apps on the Pi, there are far better alternatives (Mono, Python/GTK etc. on Raspbian).

This is just my take on Win10 IoT. I'm a Windows guy by profession so I don't have an anti-MS bias here.
This is where price restrictions during disasters run into issues. We either need to allow price to go up, to make it economical for the private sector to maintain offline capacity and stockpiles of these kinds of supplies, or we need a government that plans effectively for these scenarios. We can't get away with neither.
> But I started putting the fattiest milk as possible the feeding tube.

I guess some chemical reactions which happen over time are kind of like hash functions. So it's hard the find out what the input was just by observing the output.

I honestly am baffled how such a bad idea which is objectively less secure (no 2FA) and less convenient (changing a master password is a pain) than a password manager is getting so much attention (2000+ stars on Github, WTF!?).
The plan is supposed to be based on science, not politics, yet here you are telling me this isn't the case?

On a more serious note, petitions and other methods by experts to publicly state a position isn't just about influencing government policy. It's also a political tool in the aftermath of failed policy. Just like the current panel of experts is a political tool employed by the government to justify the biases in its policy.
Ah, I wasn't expecting Pakistan, since I don't think they have much bulk exports - I guessed Brazil (grain exporter). Argentina makes sense too though!
By the argument you make below ("The brains are different.") you could use this argument to deny the humanity, or capability of feeling pain of anyone that isn't yourself. This argument quickly slides into solipsism, which is not a useful philosophical position to take in a world inhabited by agents that pass our individual Turing tests.
> Also, we should forever be thankful that such a mild version of the coronavirus mutated a structural upgrade like the furin cleavage site. If this had happened with SARS, MERS, or a hemorrhagic fever it could have been real trouble.

would you mind elaborating, because i don't understand or follow this.

what is the relevance of mutating a "structural upgrade like the furin cleavage site"? forgive my lack of biology, but i both don't understand what this means nor its relevance.

in "if this had happened with...", what is "this"? if it is the current coronavirus outbreak, isn't the current one much worse because it is more mild than sars?

> ~10% of cases require hospitalisation

That depends on the demographics that get infected! Stop pulling these numbers out of your asses as if they're universally true!

That number is based on the virus hitting everyone equally, and central to the UK strategy is that you avoid that, that you instead quarantine and isolate the at-risk people, and build herd immunity among the remainder, not among the entire general population.

This entire post and all the comments is one giant "holy crap the UK strategy is bananas!", but it seems no-one understands the rationale behind it!

Come on! There are legit arguments against it, but your argument isn't it!

> We need a lockdown to buy us some time, but we also need to face up to the reality that a lockdown isn't a solution but merely a stopgap.

The whole mad point of the UK strategy is that you'll reach herd immunity without massive hospitalisation and death, and that once you're through it, you're done, the virus will die out in the UK, no matter what the state the rest of the world is in, no matter when a vaccine is finished, no matter if other countries fight intermittent outbreaks or not.
