Maybe it's just what you're used to, but I massively prefer the Rust docs for `String` you linked to Java or C++'s.

I think largely for one reason: the sidebar! I just scroll the sidebar for the method I know I want or a method that sounds like what I'm hoping to find, and then click it.

Java & C++ both lack that, it doesn't matter so much with the latter because the page is pretty short, but Java's is huge, and to me totally unnavigable.
A very high fraction of folks past age 75 have one or more of these diseases.

Before concluding that they contribute, the next question should be, how many people in that population at that age have ZERO comorbid diseases? Likely, it's very few. So these comorbidities may actually have little causal role leading to mortality. We can't know from just this data.

Until we learn more, we can't conclude 1) that comorbidities were causal, or 2) WHICH comorbidity really matters.

>I certainly wouldn't want to buy coffee that was roasted in Ethopia; it would be awfully stale by the time it gets here.

This is the play: hide the profound injustice in an offhand quip. If exporting from Germany is not a problem, why not Ethiopia?

Though, I suspect what would happen is that coffee roasted in Ethiopia would be somehow worth less than German-roasted. Ethiopians would recoup some of the profit that they're missing, but other ways would be found to shortchange them. The root of the issue is he undervaluation of Ethiopian labor and resources so as to secure profit and affordability further down the line.

I dunno, if a twitter mob can wreck a company for posting something bad about <insert protected group> then I'd imagine a dedicated site with enough traffic could do likewise.
What could possibly go wrong with this idea?
If my experience with 'southern' cultures is anything to go by, the amount of interaction between young and old people probably plays a huge role.

For comparison, I live in NL and for me and the vast majority of my 20-30-something friends, visiting grandparents is relatively rare. For many of us even visiting parents is a 'once every x months' kind of thing.

On the other hand, when I lived around the mediterranean, not only was it expected to regularly interact with parents and grandparents, but it was often the case that they lived together, or at least close by.

Perhaps the 'quarantining'/neglect of the elderly in Northern-Europe that I've often criticised as inhumane is actually saving them in this particular situation.

Ask HN: Isolation (from coronavirus) is only a temporary band-aid that will fail
One infected person infects 2 to 3 other people on average. This is exponential spread. This will remain true until enough people have immunity that the chance of infecting someone new drops below 1. This is the so called "herd immunity". This requires 60-70% of a population to have immunity.

Immunity comes from a person having been exposed to the virus and getting better, or a vaccine. To get to the 60-70% point in the US, roughly 220 million people need to be exposed and heal, or get vaccinated.

Getting 220 million people exposed, at a rate of 1 million per month (which will still overwhelm the health care system) would take almost 20 years. Flattening the curve simply takes too long with such a large population. Finding, creating, distributing and vaccinating 220 million people would take a number of years? (guessing on that).

No government can afford to pump $1 trillion into the economy every quarter to prop it up, and do this for a number of years. They will have to start printing money to do that, which leads directly to hyperinflation, which destroys countries and leads to starvation and death.

Isolation delays the inevitable but doesn't stop it. Testing and tracing contacts to isolate the infected only works if it is perfect. If we miss 1 person out of 330 million in the US, that 1 person will start the entire cycle again. China is not out of the woods - if they missed 1 person the cycle will begin again.

Where is the hole in the above rationale?

(I wish the above wasn't true, but my wishes don't count for anything)
Summarizing the deaths, by age distribution is quite telling (page 4):

- no deaths under 30

- Less than 1% of deaths under 50

- less than 4% of deaths under 60

- 87% of deaths above 70

This disease is incredibly dangerous for our elderly, and isolating them to prevent infection should be our top priority.

Who are you kidding? Of course we are. I have a $2000 grinder on the way.

Edit: I don't buy that a $60 dollar grinder will get you 80% of the way. The output of such cheap grinders that I have seen have very poor consistency. You're looking at low hundreds to get anything decent and even then you will have very clear differences when matched against a top end grinder.
Right, but you need to establish the cause of death and it's kind of important. Like for example my father was fighting cancer for 8 years before he died, but when he passed away the hospital wrote that he died of "cardiac arrest", since his heart just couldn't go anymore. So in some statistic somewhere he will exist as a person who died of heart problems, not someone who died because of cancer. That's not right either I don't think.
And of course try/catch, and the very handy upvar and uplevel.

I first encountered TCL via Expect, which was a very useful tool.

Google doesn't maintain any Android devices except its own.
Not the OP but I have a reMarkable tablet. I think it's far superior for writing notes (not really drawing due to the lack of color) or reading academic papers or other PDFs (that don't benefit much from color). The pen-on-paper experience is definitely better if you can look past the limitations of the display.

I use it for reading and annotating academic papers or PDFs of presentations, for which I find it superior to an iPad/Apple Pencil in just about every way except for sometimes syncing and transferring documents (this would be easier on Android platforms, though perhaps not iOS). That's still a little clunky particularly if you use Linux, but there are a variety of open source tools now to facilitate the process. The tablet doesn't natively store annotations as standard PDF annotations, but it's not a proprietary format, and this only matters if you SSH in to directly access files.

If you plan to get one now, consider waiting for or preordering the upcoming generation (July?).

$250 is peanuts in the great scheme of things for even small businesses. If it saves me half a day of fiddling with rclone/rsync, the chance of getting things wrong or losing data, and the burden of remembering next month how my half-assed solution is supposed to work... then it has already paid for itself.

My issue with it is that I don’t see any support for Glacier, which IMHO would be a natural target. Sticking to everyday cloud drives only limits its usefulness in the long run - ok, I’ll do the migration now and then in a year I won’t even remember that Movebot exists. I’d like a way of backing up my cloud drives to glacier periodically.
Remote Work and Study Resources (CC0)
I've been working on this list for a few days and have received very good feedback from teachers and remote workers. People here are mostly very technically adept so I don't expect the articles etc. to help much but there are still some free premium services that might be of interest! Contributions are more than welcome.

If you're not interested in checking out the list itself, here are a few interesting tidbits:

1. Cambridge Core offers all thei 700 textbooks for free until the end of May.

2. Office 365 E1 is free for businesses for six months.

3. Scribd is free for 30 days with no credit card or commitment needed.

4. Adobe Connect has extended their free trial to 90 days.

5. The free version of the Cisco Webex subscription has removed the time limits for now and supports up to 100 simultaneous people in the call.

6. All WileyPLUS courseware is free until the end of the spring semester.

and so on!

That is a very oversimplified way to describe making coffee - and thats just for one method of brewing.

You have so many variations of brewing like pourover, drip, french press, espresso etc. and each of these methods has a ton of individual variables that affect the final product ranging such as water temp, bean freshness, grind coarseness and much more.

I am certainly not a coffee expert (I'm too lazy to actually dive into the world of craft coffee I just drink the free coffee at work) but I do enjoy espresso when I am out and love reading about coffee/brewing

Those developers succeeded despite the struggles inherent to their given platforms.

If you watch (and pay attention to) the videos you'd see what many of those struggles were. Hardware bugs. Missing/bad documentation. Bugs in the software toolchain.

IANAE, Some of the simulations featured on HN reaffirm the fact that the sweep through the population must happen, but the relative concentration of virus per individual can be minimized. This will help minimize deaths, because if any one immune system is overloaded it cannot cope. It is like a tsunami that everyone must ride, but the relative strength of that tsunami can be curbed by minimizing cross-contact that inadvertently increases virus concentrations per person.
Many reasons:

- Ripe for abuse: There is always some angry customer or (ex-)employee seeking revenge. Especially anonymous forums are problematic. Most of the information may be wrong or intentionally false, or highly perspectival, missing the bigger picture, etc.

- Blaming without discussion promotes vigilantism, sending the wrong signal to society. There should be a discussion of both sides of the story and a way for the other side to justify their actions.

- Ulterior motives of such sites are hard to figure out. They could be run for political goals, by adversaries, competition, etc. How do you know? Is it controlled by an authority?

- High potential for laws suits and subpoenas. The line between legitimate complaints and libel is thin.

- If the action to be blamed is illegal, then authorities should handle it. If it's not illegal, then maybe what looks like a legitimate complaint for the maker of the site is just a matter of perspective (or, to put it worse, ideology).

- The sites are adversarial by design, which is principally the wrong perspective. All they do is alienate one group from another, when in fact often both groups need to cooperate to solve the issue.
On the other hand, it is often said that those who lie a great deal become credulous.

The Coronavirus Quarantine Developer Skill Handbook
One thing others don't seem to have mentioned: While you can do this with any qPCR machine, you would not be allowed to actually use a random qPCR machine for medical testing. You need a special qPCR machine which is installed by the company, then run through a calibration procedure "certify-in-place" which is invalidated if the machine is moved. There is currently a waiting list to buy one of these machines (at least in the U.S.) and they are much more expensive than normal qPCR machines.

So there are four main ways for breathing machines to be powered:
1) By compressed air from a wall port (majority of ICU machines)

2) With bellows (anesthesia machines)

3) Turbine, either dynamic or constant speed with a proportional valve (home use or patient transport)

4) Piston

Let's assume that we use a pneumatic device driven by centrally purified air as that is simplest. The parts then are:

-Gas blending to mix O2 and HP air

-A fast, precise, and accurate proportional solenoid valve. This turns the constant pressure into the desired waveform

-another valve for controlling exhalation pressure. Can be another proportional solenoid, alternatively a manually adjustable valve to ensure constant minimum end exhalation pressure (PEEP)

-Flow sensor (range of options, typically variable orifice or hot wire anemometer but other type exist)

-Pressure sensor (silicon waver transducer)

-Overpressure valve

-O2 sensor (highly desirable, arguably you can estimate from O2 blending settings but that will work better on a very well characterised design which this would not be. Anyway O2 sensors are widely used so this will never be a constraint.

-Piping to connect it all together

-A control and alarm system to drive desired waveform based on user settings and sensors

-Patient circuit: Humidifier / heat exchanger, patient valve (one time use), viral filters for intake and exhalation air (one time use), ET tubes (one time use)

Probably the limiting factor as far as parts go are the valves since this is a niche application.

Here's the problem: as a civilisation, if we had to make a hundred million vents by the end of the year it would be easy. Expensive, sure, but not that hard in an emergency.

It is much harder to make an extra 50,000 in a few weeks because it just takes time to turn the machinery of mass production in a different direction.
You’re not differentiating between sensitivity and specificity - in this case the test is highly sensitive but not specific. That means that it could be effectively hard to rule out cases while failing to provide strong evidence of actual infection in individual cases.
