There was an official statement that said that they could cut off pharmaceuticals and "Let America drown in the sea of Coronavirus."

Seeing that statement changed my opinion of China.

Same thing here. I’m mostly using CodeHub on iOS, but if GH adds the feed, I’m probably switching over to their app.
Can't companies just take on debt now, to avoid bankruptcy? Lenders should be eager to lend to them because they know that business will return to normal after the virus has passed.

This is perfect opportunity for citizens to observe totalitarian capabilities of governments and on next election decide which ones are excessive.
To add to this, make sure you do a varety of sites and source texts.

Try transcribing articles as you read them.
Well at this rate the entire country will be blue this time next year and the representatives will be half their current age. It's kind of silly to just let everyone else come to the conclusion independently and just not say it yet.
Couldn't that be done by raising salaries?
Would be interesting for use on a boat. Generally you want a fast refresh rate but once a minute would be fast enough for most users. The problem with navigation displays on boat are

1. daytime visibility
2. long term waterproofing in a saltwater environment

With this setup you could mount a raspberry pi W on one side of the fiberglass to interpet NEMA 2000/0183 data and the NFC chip, and the waterproof, hermetically sealed e-ink display on the other, held on with velcro or neodymium magnets etc.
Personally, I think this is incredibly irresponsible. Elon told his workers to stay home even if they feel "slightest bit ill or even uncomfortable" [0]. Yet, according to the CDC, symptoms may not appear until 2-14 days after exposure [1]. So Tesla employees may be spreading the virus to each other, and the rest of the world, without knowing it.

In the Alameda order which describes what "essential businesses" may remain open, the closest loophole I can see that might allow the Tesla factory to stay open is for "Airlines, taxis, and other private transportation providers providing transportation services necessary for Essential Activities and other purposes expressly authorized in this Order" [2]. I think it's more than a stretch to say that building new cars counts as transportation services. Repairing existing Teslas, sure. But I don't think Tesla should be allowed to keep building new cars. And I think if Elon cares about his workers' safety, and the safety of the world, he would ask his employees who are building new cars to stay home.

Rocket takes the position (or at least, this is what I understand, maybe it's changed) that developer ergonomics are the most important thing. Macros can significantly clean up boilerplate, and so Rocket tends to use a lot of them.

There are other options if you disagree, but this approach has gained it quite a following.
All I can say about this whole fiasco is:

I'm glad I spent time (several weeks ago) doing my own research on the issue, and consulting experts directly.

And took appropriate action to protect friends and family.

Really good feedback, I feel you on the text wrapping. We're trying to find creative ways to make this work better.

Can you tell me more about what you use this feed for? You're talking about the one on the github.com home page?

Again thanks for the feedback, we have a lot of work to do still! Forwarding this comment to the team.
We have modeled this scenario.
If airline capacity is reduced by 90%, and
airline passenger fares are quadrupled, then
the speed of spreading the next pandemic virus
will decrease by a factor of 500.
Sounds good to ne.
It's never terrorism when the US government murders civilians. Clearly murdering civilians is simply an accepted practice at this point, and not "terrorism".
>I am pointing out there is an assumed and implied argument that 1) inequality is a problem and must be corrected, but 2) straight redistribution of some wealth with UBI will fail because-inflation/rents, but 3) we should have less inequality though even if we did that would put us in the similar position as with UBI where costs rebalance.

I wasn't making anything like that argument. I was saying that, if you don't address the dynamics that gobble up household economic slack, then a UBI won't produce the additional slack you're trying to produce. Three's nothing circular about that.

>And at the end I ask, rhetorically but still, what's to be done. So here you also assume it's true without addressing it and offer no answer to how to address the gobbling up of the economic slack.

In fact, the link I gave was from (the aptly named) landvaluetax.org and is from an organization that has one theory and solution for how land rents eat up slack and a solution.

And even if I didn't, it's still a valid point that the primary problem is "things that extract household slack", and needs to be address before any UBI is piled on.
Maybe if a bunch of these airliners go into bankruptcy, it would let people who could finally get past the huge barriers to entry.
Do you have a set of libraries in mind? We do have an internal machine learning platform with a bunch of functionality. We mainly use it for one-click transformation from notebooks to AppBooks where domain experts can tweak training parameters or use a model for inference without being intimidated by all the code or changing code, and for one click deployments of models, plus automatic tracking for parameters, metrics, and models.

But the notebook comes with a lot of libraries preinstalled and uses GPU so our colleagues don't have to go through configuring a workstation with CUDA and all.

If you have a list in mind, let me know. Of course you can always install them, as we use a Dockerfile for our notebook servers and users get a workspace and can install libraries that are missing.
There's another side to this story.

Americans demand this kind of action during emergencies. The widely accepted idea that the government is capable of protecting us from events like this is tacit acknowledgement of the government's right to closely monitor society.

To put it another way: as soon as you start blaming the government for a terrorist attack (or something), you are rather close to condoning government surveillance of the citizenry (or whatever extreme measure).
Based on what data?

If you think society will tolerate this kind of lockdown for more than a few weeks, you need to rethink your stance.

If we are locked up for 3 months like this you will have your doomsday scenario. Our entire supply chain will fall apart. People won’t get food, medicine, things that make them happy. Sporting events, social gatherings, etc. People will become depressed and kill themselves. People will go nuts and kill everybody around them.

You’ll have a situation on your hands much, much worse than this virus. Much worse.

People have lost their damn minds and stopped thinking rationally. Snap out it. Go on a damn walk. Nobody is gonna be locked down for three fucking months. If we actually are, I suggest stocking up on guns and ammo now because that will devolve into a doomsday scenario. One much worse than anything this virus can possibly dish out.
All issues dealing with undefined behavior (UB), segfaults and the like are currently closed. Actix-Web makes use of unsafe (as high-performance Rust usually does) so there could be some UB hiding.

Churchill, IIRC.
A framework I have recently found useful for thinking about my work as a computer programmer is a classic set of philosophical concerns:

Truth, goodness, and beauty.

That is to say, software development has an intellectual dimension, a moral dimension, and an aesthetic dimension.

For me, the intellectual questions primarily concern program correctness. Is this code bug-free? Is it robust and stable? I tend toward the "computer science as mathematics" epistemology of Dijkstra and Hoare. Invariants; inductive reasoning; temporal logic. At least at the level of individual functions, I find that it is feasible to express with rigor and clarity what the function is intended to do, and to reason with precision through to a conclusion that the implementation fulfills the intent. And, there is a test for every line of code. A favorite quote from Knuth: "Don't trust the following code. I have only proven it correct, I have not tested it!"

The moral questions concern the uses for which the code is designed, and the uses to which it will be put. I work on medical device embedded software these days, and the moral dimension of this work is a very meaningful and concrete benefit of this choice. I used to work on software development tools to support avionics development for the B-2 bomber. While I don't dismiss the latter as unambiguously immoral, it certainly was more problematic for me, an ongoing source of angst and struggle.

The aesthetic issues seem to me to be two-fold: how beautiful is the software from the standpoint of the user? And, how beautiful is the source code? I have seen (and written) much code that is frankly an ugly mess. I have also upon occasion had an inspiration about how to re-write a piece of code. Tons of code gets deleted, and the new code is simple, clean, elegant, and inevitable. I would go so far as to claim that at times I have been graced to write code that turned out to be beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. It seems to me that the "Clean Code" movement encourages creation of code that is elegant and beautiful.

I find that this triad of concerns inter-relate. Beautiful code is more likely to be correct, and conversely. Mindfully written code that is done with clarity and integrity tends to be both more beautiful and correct.
I know it can be upsetting because it's something you and others have poured their hearts into.

This happens occasionally. I've had material copied and have seen other people's entire websites copied. Recently, someone stole one of my colleague's startup app idea and posted their own knockoff with the same name in the app store.

Occasionally, I've contacted people who have copied my work and they've taken it down, which is the least expensive way to handle the problem. Other times, they just ignore my communication. You might contact an attorney to find out what your options are, which could vary for any given situation.
I think the beginner's client is a pretty big feature, but agree, they should have the social features better integrated... including searching/tagging related issues with commits etc.
Alcohol has the advantage that you can take it with you and use it frequently because it evaporates leaving nothing. Glycerine is just to prevent your skin from drying out. It is possible to get infected through your skin if it is damaged.

I use some generic wet towels that I let dry out completely and then soaked with mixture of alcohol and glycerine.
It also should allow the government to direct the business for the public good.

How long can you sustain yourself after sudden and sustained loss of income?

One issue with a bunch of broke and homeless people is that a fair portion of them tend to be young males, who tend to have a bit of a penchant for violence.

I am curious about the exact statement. Do you have a link?
Anymore, corporate "death" means that stock & bond holders lose their wealth. Depending on the type of bankruptcy, the assets get purchased for pennies on the dollar by a large firm, or the existing debt is restructured.

So yeah, a "stronger" company will emerge from the ashes. But only because other people took a bath.

It's like if the bank forecloses on your house. You owe $200k, but they sell it at auction for $50k. The above argument is like saying the new owners who bought your house will be a much stronger financial situation. This is true, but it ignores the fact that majority of involved parties are worse off (you & the bank).
Not to mention that it's also open source and available on F-Droid, so not bothering with managing apk manually for those who don't use Playstore.

The biggest gain for me came from using a split keyboard. I had some bad habits where my dominant hand was crossing the keyboard to hit keys that my non-dominant one should have been hitting, and this was impacting my speed. By using a split keyboard, it forced my hands in to the correct posture and didn't allow one hand to dominate because the other side of the keyboard was too far away.

I was tracking my progress on typera.net, which is quite dated, but seems to have a nice balance of challenging words and phrases.
I've seen this done for new projects, and it works really well. If your data access patterns are truly relational (varied lookup paths) then it is probably not the right tool, but many apps can be modeled in a way that DDB handles well.

Highly recommended viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaEPXoXVf2k this talk explains how relational data can be efficiently modeled for key-value stores.
You can't force other countries to behave how you'd like. Some countries don't have freedom of the press. The United States should not be in the business of restricting freedom of the press in order to pressure other countries to respect it.

The goal is for the United States to follow the principles laid down in the Bill of Rights. Throwing those out in order to pressure other countries is a terrible idea.

I work for FB and wanted to shed some more light on this

Several employees are pledging to donate that to charities, including me. Internally, employees are mobilizing to help others in need, via fundraising and other causes. It's a beautiful sight.

FB is giving away around $100 million to 30K small businesses. Zuckerberg has pledged to match up to $20 million in donations. And he's pledged money via his philanthropic arm to fight COVID-19.

Stop complaining and start doing. What did you do today to help others ?

I didn't know that! I've recently switched over to NixOS as my daily driver. I'll see what I can do to fix that for the future.
Sure, however this case in particular is a bit of a counter point because covid-19 isn't causing anyone to become a child predator, nor has there otherwise been a recent tidal wave of child predators that appeared out of thin air. Seems they pushed the bill off for a bit but this whole thing was introduced at an odd time.
This is what I think too. Way easier to put a date far out there and yank it back than underestimate and have to extend it.
Neither of those really even contradict what smacktoward said, much less disprove it. In those posts, Moonchild disagrees with the idea that Pale Moon is "a rebranded rebuild of an old Firefox version" and more broadly that it corresponds to any particular Firefox version since there has been years of parallel development. He also affirms that Pale Moon has kept up with other browsers in security. It is entirely possible for all of that to be true and for smacktoward's suspicion — that Moonchild's primary problem with Web Components is that they work poorly in Pale Moon and it would be a lot of trouble to fix that — to be true.
It will be tough times for workers and their Social Security funds, and bailouts for the employers who used their last round of giveaway money on stock buybacks.

I'd like to see more discussion around this point. I don't care where you got the numbers from. It's been clear from a glance that 3 weeks of cancelled school isn't going to do anything. So now we're looking at 8 weeks. Umm.... According to what? Which is more likely, 8 weeks or 2 years? I don't know, but I'm guessing 8 weeks isn't nearly long enough.
Disrupting Deepfakes
Content Related to Coronavirus in Annals of Internal Medicine
While we are talking about deprecating assets, they can last a long time. New US carriers would not be limited to purchasing the old US carriers aircraft. Delta’s 747 for example are 26 years old on average, but they might easily be sold globally, with a new airline picking a fleet on the cheap from some other country’s failed airlines. Thus the assets are not really that critical a consideration.

IMO, if US airlines can’t raise enough capital to handle a short therm disruption that’s a sign the markets think letting them fail is more efficient. Further, politics is unlikely to be making a more efficient choice than industry experts. Finally, if we are talking a multi year disruption airlines seem like a very low priority.

Macros let you do work at compile-time like inspect the types of their parameters. A macro can do things like automatically generating code that converts function's return type into a JSON string.

If you need that, use a macro, but otherwise, you can and probably should use a function.

In the same way that you still find bash and python and go useful, I would agree that not every program needs Rust.

I think this is an open question! A lot of people argue (you can see some of it in this thread) that Rust's rules teach them a certain programming style that carries over into other languages.
I agree, and I think Apple is an example of a company that uses debt in a perfectly sensible way.

Why would you want to use OpenJDK 11 instead of 13/14? I'm using 8 because it's the latest version working with Windows XP, but other than that, I don't understand why would anyone avoid latest stable version.
Because it's not called terrorism when very similar incidents are perpetrated by citizens or residents, despite having very similar motivations, and especially not when it's the government telling us to call it terrorism going over and doing worse in other places.

Because outside the little western bubble it might be understood more accurately along the lines of self defense, or a response to aggression and political interference motivated by any shady bullshit from proxy wars to controlling oil supply.

Because "weapons of mass destruction" definitely deserves the quotes and was used for a similar purpose.

But mostly because giving something scary a name that abstracts away everything except that it's scary not only makes it super easy to sell publicly, but also makes it super easy to aim the public response to said fear at whatever the label can be twisted into applying to.
Reducing Comparison Operators (Raku)
>They are saying you are wrong because there are other things in the market besides housing

They said nothing like that; that might be what you think, and I'd be glad to address that, but it doesn't help the discussion when you invent arguments that were never made and expect me to have already answered them.

Real estate, unlike cars or food, can't be brought on the market to rapidly respond to demand, and people don't keep raising bids to the point where they leave a certain amount of slack in their budget.

There are ways to get around this (like with faster building and scaling up of transportation infra) but it would need to be address before throwing on a UBI, which was my point.

>If you inverse your logic it means lowering wages provides cheaper rent.

Rents generally do decline when wages fall.
