I’ve had lots of periods (from months to years) in my life with zero caffeine.

Including all of my childhood, and I’ve had the sleep problems all my life. Think about what that means for what you’re saying.

Yet people like you are so sure it could be the cause or contribute, and that I could never know without cutting it out of my diet.

Even aside from what I mentioned above, if you experienced what I experience you would know that it couldn’t possibly influence why I have sleep problems.

What is your basis for calling the 1929 crash "the American Great Depression"? It began with Creditanstalt in Austria, and affected far more than the US.

And what is your basis for saying that it wasn't worldwide?

I disagree. We have to understand that this is a massive externality of two decisions made by the Chinese Communist Party:

1.) Not fully enforcing laws regarding wildlife with wet markets, and additionally not having strict enough laws based on experiences with SARS, due to domestic pressure from a sizable group supported by wet markets.

2.) Initial suppression of communications from doctors in Wuhan trying to sound the alarm, including forcing written apologies for "spreading rumors". This suppression allowed for the disease to hit a massive spike due to not cancelling Wuhan's New Years feast.

While the citizens of China were victimized by this horrifically themselves, this doesn't change the culpability of the CCP.

Yes, other countries didn't handle it, but the root cause is the CCP's decisions, both long term and short term. India has a billion people as well, and is also densely populated. We don't see diseases coming from India on a regular basis.

Edit:

I want to add that as a human being, I've been horribly disappointed for years that we have collectively helped oppress over a billion people in China by propping up a government that doesn't respect individual rights via trade. Yes, hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty, but they are under the yoke of a regime that fails them. Other governments fail their citizens as well, but you don't "dissappear" if you complain about these failings publicly.

I value the wonderful contributions and accomplishments of the Chinese people. I just wish I wasn't complicit in them being under the thumb of an authoritarian government.

Coronavirus' Looming Psychological Crisis
That would help for things like Youtube TV, but I'm assuming that users would not be too happy about having to coordinate their binging with their neighbours?
The word for this is "rationing", right?
I agree, but 17 being greater than 12 and the year being 4 digits reveals the order in this case. This only works sometimes, though. Like how 14 o'clock is pretty clear, but because not everyone uses 24 hour time yet, 2 o'clock is actually ambiguous. I find a leading 0 helps, but in spoken conversation it's not so simple.
This is great - excited to see more of these tools that make WFH feel less lonely.
Raising Capital in the Time of Coronavirus
The cheap labor argument is one that was valid in the '90s and 2000s, but hasn't been valid for quite some time. At this point, especially with regards to electronics, it's just not possible to assemble some goods outside of China. The supply chain expertise is there. The skilled workers are there. All the tacit knowledge about the issues one encounters with mass production is there. To bring all that knowledge back would take decades, and is beyond the ability of any single firm acting alone.

It's a classic collective action problem. Diversification offers a diffuse benefit to everyone, but the costs are borne by the individual firms that put in the effort to train workers, document tacit knowledge, refactor supply chains, etc. As a result, without a central coordinating authority, firms will not diversify, because to do so would be to move away from the Nash equilibrium that incentivizes them to use the cheapest/fastest/most specialized supplier at the cost of diversification.
Where are the calls for cable companies to downgrade their traditional TV channels (set top box) from HD to SD so that they can re-provision some of the bandwidth toward internet?

I don't know enough about the tech to know for sure that this is possible, but it seems likely since it is the same wire and they offer different levels of TV and internet service.

If I'm right and it is possible, why is it that only streaming providers are being asked to sacrifice the quality of their service?
MLH has created so much value for me through their affiliated hackathons. Great to see that they’re continuing to help students during these uncertain times.
That is very cool! For other readers, "process" means submit jq-like document queries, and "various formats" means other JSON or JSON-like representations, such as BSON, Bencode[1], TOML, XML, and YAML. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, under the hood its a coupled set of ODEs with the ability to be stochastically sampled. But this means the entire susceptible population can interact with the entire infected population every time step w/ some small probability -- hence no structure. And no worries, not offense taken!
Hey, Lego is our family hobby. I had sets as a kid and built with my kids. Now we all get sets for birthdays and holidays and we have a 'LEGO Room' with a lego city and tables for building.

So to get started I would get everyone a set and build together. I like Star Wars sets, my Wife is in to Harry Potter, my son likes both.

There isn't really a right or wrong way to Lego. I would setup a budget/limit though, otherwise you could spend quite a bit.

I collect Boba Fett minifigures so I usually focus on those sets and occasionally buying old ones to complete/keep my collection going.

The larger sets are pretty amazing. Most lego cities you see are mainly comprised of what they call Lego Modulars.
https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Creator-Expert/subtheme-Modu...

These are some of the best builds, they retire though so I would buy the oldest one you can find new in box at retail price to start if you're interested in these, then buy the current retail ones oldest to newest, keeping watch for when they are retiring, usually Lego will mark them retiring soon.

Lego Architecture sets are really cool. My son collects those.

Collectible minifigures are fun they come out in packs a couple times per year, you'll get good at feeling the packs to figure out what they are.

Then there are MOCs (My Own Creations) these are custom builds that you make or you can get instructions or free build someone elses.

It's a pretty amazing hobby.

Check out Bricklink for parts (recently bought by lego).

Feel free to post questions here or msg me your email.

It's a fun hobby, lots of amazing custom builds out there.

This is a straw man argument.

Reminds me of when archive.org "improved" their site with javascript a year or two back and it stopped working entirely if you don't run JS and don't use a modern commercial browser.

They can say whatever they want about how this won't happen but likely it's not up to them (because it's a corporation and because they won't control the decisions of the JS framework they pick). Wikipedia isn't broken. Fixing it is bad.
Illustrated Tales of Go Runtime Scheduler
The thing I've learned dealing with professionals in other fields is that they just don't care as much as you do. The economics of their profession simply don't allow it.

In software if you spend 8 hours fixing a bug that bug will be fixed for all future users of your software. Someone spending 8 hours to diagnose a medical condition will surely be meaningful to you but won't help the rest of the people in the waiting room. Further most people do not have exotic illnesses or needs so rarely is such detailed diagnosis necessary.

If you want someone to fix your car right rather than just replace random parts, or to give you detailed medical attention be prepared to search a long time to find someone willing to do so.
Ostensibly.

But the reality is probably more like the top levels of governments bullying, and they don’t give a flying fuck about the impacts on the average citizen.
What seemed like a straightforward product turned out to be an intricate challenge.

The problem with being a small shop selling POS products is finding customers at the right time. It is very sales intensive process. You have to reach them at the right time, once a restaurant is invested in a POS, it is almost impossible to convince them to switch. They choose to just live with whatever choice they made and focus on other things that matter. So now, as a developer, you need to give them a good reason to switch.

Money is a good one. So now you are in a price race to the bottom; never a good place to be as a small shop.

Another common ask is integration. They want to try out the product before committing but they can't afford to train folks to use two products at the same time. So now you need to come up with an integration strategy without even having a clear API/structure to work with.

It's a nightmare. Unless you have customers ready to commit which to me seems impossible in the retail business without already knowing people on the inside.

If the immunity period is unknown/short then isn't there some logic in trying to build heard immunity amongst the entire lower risk group before the immunity would be lost.

Writer’s Studio Was Designed as a Place of Solitude
Applied to US data... 21 deaths today. 14% daily increase, doubling time of 5.2 days (2 week lag; hopefully social distancing has lengthened it since then). Assuming 1% fatality, that would mean 2100 "actual" cases two weeks ago. Assume no social distancing and doubling time of 5.2 days, or say it doubled three times in two weeks and you get 16,800 cases today. But we've already got 11k confirmed cases today, and I can't believe our confirmed count has already caught up that much.

I dunno, maybe that's an indication that the fatality rate is lower than 1%. Or that dying takes longer than 14 days.
Without even delving on the perverse sanctions part, it should never be forgotten that the whole point of git is that it's a distributed source control system. Grab your source and move it elsewhere. Heck, even an old forked gitlab community instance should work.

I've always enjoyed this site. I see that they post updates here fairly regularly.
I tend to only use it for relatively simpler queries than it is capable of. Ditto regular expressions. But I do not find myself missing advanced features of either very often. If I run out of my ability with jq, the manual page and playing around with the query sometimes illuminates the correct answer. And if not, it's often time (for me) to switch to using a less ephemeral program anyway.
That still does not rule out mild cases which are regarded as a regular viral illness.

Isn't this a first amendment violation? Are we not on board with the notion that code is speech, and that the constitution applies to everyone, not just US citizens?

Anecdotally from people talking on my local subreddits, very few people are getting testing at all unless they need serious medical attention. People with less severe cases just get sent home. They're only getting tested if they have confirmed contact with someone who tested positive, or recently returned from international travel. I guess that way we can pretend community spread doesn't exist.

The medical treatment that movie stars and NBA players are getting is not representative of the average American's experience.

It's all coded in typescript and javascript. I've been toying around with a more in-depth model in web assembly, but as I alluded to elsewhere in this thread, the coding is slow going.
> Does not work that way. How do you think Iran and North Korea are connected to Internet in the first place?

It literally works that way. North Korea is connected through China Unicom, and China doesn't recognize the North Korean sanctions.

Iran's internet access isn't part of the current sanctions.

>OFAC or the State Department may also impose so-called “secondary sanctions” on non-US companies, even with no US nexus to the activity. Under secondary sanctions, a non-US company may be restricted from US markets or the US financial system if it engages in certain conduct related to Iran, Russia, or North Korea.
Yes I agree. However, I don't think we're close to the inflection point where this is relevant yet.

Unfortunately, javascript web frameworks build on top of the javascript APIs browsers expose.

If you're starting from a set of APIs that are too complex for someone to keep in their head, it's hard to end up with a much simpler API.

Especially since people do use a large portion of the web's APIs.

For example, "prevent", the thing in the parent comment, is needed if you use javascript to submit your forms, but isn't needed if you have a form that is expected to be submit by the normal browser mechanism.

Webframeworks rarely are prescriptive to the point where they can default in one direction or the other on that point.. and thus we end up with another option.

That repeats many times over and we end up with a large API surface.
Re: going away — has GCC ever removed any relatively common attribute in the past? They basically don't ever, to my knowledge. They haven't removed nested functions, for example, which would probably be a good idea. (To your point, though: important Linux programs like GRUB use nested functions.)

Using Cloudflare Gateway to Stay Productive (Turn Off Distractions) While WFH
I'm not sure that we do have the workforce. The generation of workers I remember from childhood had a large array of skills crucial in manufacturing that are now withering or have disappeared entirely.

The people that are maintaining those skills and learning the new skills needed are increasingly elsewhere.
It's fundamentally unable to protect itself against black swan events, because they're (by definition) outside of its optimization horizon.

I agree with your conclusion, but I want to push back on the assertion that COVID19 was a "black swan". Pandemics (especially pandemics such as this one) are not black swans. Numerous experts saw predicted them. There were examples of similar events in the recent past (for example, SARS, MERS, H5N1 influenza, etc).

The reason markets are bad at dealing with pandemic preparation is the same reason that markets are bad at dealing with pollution. It's a collective action problem. The benefit of pandemic preparation is spread across society in a diffuse manner, whereas the costs are borne by the individual manufacturers and distributors who take on the increased transaction costs of dealing with three or four suppliers, when their competitors get away with only having one or two.

It's analogous to dumping untreated sewage in a river. Even if the executives at a want to install scrubbers, as long as it has a competitor who can manufacture goods or provide services more cheaply by dumping untreated sewage, the company cannot do so, because the costs incurred will put it at a competitive disadvantage, and it will lose business to its competitor. In the same way, even if executives understand that having a supply chain dependent on a few key suppliers is a potential liability, they can't diversify as long as those suppliers are the lowest cost option, and moving away would result in them providing the same goods and services at a higher cost than their competition.
