I'm not suggesting that you or I operate the ventilators, but I refuse to believe that hospitals can't get someone decently qualified to do the job. If the need arise, those 160000 ventilators will be in operation in a heartbeat. The only reason not to get more is if you believe that there won't be that many patients.
I didn't even know that the web app could be made on-premise. Thank you. I will look for this topic.
From that NY Times article Denmark has an interesting shaped curve that might cause the casual observer to think it's been brought under control.

Denmark were very good at testing widely initially and have subsequently changed the criteria for who gets tested to only be for those presenting with acute symptoms. I haven't been able to find out why they changed but my assumption is limited testing capacity and they're preparing for an increase in the number of cases so want to prioritise.

I will be very interested at the end of this to see how Denmark's response is rated, but it does feel like they have been among the better performers globally.
No moral difference, but yes you got it.

Right now, Corona made some time for that, I'm rewriting something I tried to do in Vue. I don't work with Vue daily and that makes it real hard to do even the simplest things. I'm back to vanilla JS, few sprinkles of jQuery and HTML5. Works well for me.
ember with typescript should be an option for you
Hi Miktor,

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation! I'm in Northern Ireland too and I'm lucky to be employed (for now) and WFH. All I can do is ask around for you if you drop me an e-mail!

Cheers,

Martijn
The transaction-free approach still has potential issues though. Consider:

select isbn, copies_in_stock
from books
where isbn = "12345678"
and copies_in_stock >= 1;
isbn: 12345678
copies_in_stock: 1

update books
set copies_in_stock = copies_in_stock - 1
where isbn = "12345678"

If you have two of the above requests happen at the same time such that the execution order is SELECT SELECT UPDATE UPDATE, you'll end up with -1 copies_in_stock. You can try adding an "and copies_in_stock >= 1" to the UPDATE and then look at the number of affected rows, and perform recovery logic if the number of affected rows is 0, but at that point you've basically implemented a transaction, probably badly if it isn't what you set out to do.
That feels like learning Angular template syntax, and I really dislike it. React has its warts, but I find JSX very readable, much more flexible.
There is still a bunch of things that everyone can do. Counter misinformation like fake-remedies or conspiracy theories your family forwards, that kind of stuff, supporting local shops by buying gift cards etc., looking out for at-risk neighbours. Here are a few ideas: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/learning/how-can-we-help-...

I'm all for political discussions! But what help does it do right now discussing whether China could have acted a week earlier? I think the more important questions, analog to blameless postmortem discussions, should center on the institutions and processes. Could the CDC (or similar institutions, I'm not that familiar with the US) implement measures earlier? What hindered them? Money? Politics? etc.

This was also what I was trying to convey in our sibling thread - I think it's more important to analyze why the US takes so long with implementing more impactful measures, e.g. distancing measures like canceling events are still just strong recommondations, and not enforced.

I can really recommend using blameless postmortem as a process for analyzing what went wrong:

But react and vue are underneath much closer to each other than Svelte. Sure vue and svelte use templates and react doesn't but that's about it.

Anyway since svelte must be compiled i dont think it's good choice for something like mediawiki where you might have plugins and addons that want reuse core components and connect to each other in runtime.
I've only used angular but I'm curious, why has angular never been an option for you?

I've never used react but I think you can use typescript with react if you wanted to, right? it just isn't the default but if you're in react land, you probably don't care much for defaults?
Vue 3 is not too far off and has first class TypeScript support.
I observe how this post creates the wish in me to say hurtful things to the author.

Active Record is a powerful pattern - for it's usecase. You use it to build applications to find, create, update and delete objects. It's not useful for complex queries, aggregations, graph applications, NLP, mathematical analysis, or any other use case it's not meant to solve. No surprise there.

The ruby package of the same name includes quite a few things that support complex queries and aggregation, and that way it goes beyond the pattern which it is named for (including all of the examples that are presented as the better alternative solution). For requirements that are best solved by dropping to SQL you can bypass the records machinery entirely, in marked difference to some other ORMs which try to completely hide and monopolise DB access.
That's just bureaucracy in the West. I have contacts in the East who got me Lariago-DS. Super cheap to manufacture, super compact, easy to ship. In fact, it's in plentiful supply. Just not in the West because you have a customs wall.

Drop the wall and you'll have your drugs in days. If you have 'backorders' for your Lupus patients, then you've already failed at something trivial to solve.
As they should.

The United States can manufacturer its way out of this problem, it just needs to mobilize.

Uber is a hyper local, infinitely scalable logistics network.

All of those startups making modular homes out of shipping containers could and should be making temporary hospital wings (which would conveniently fit on an 18 wheeler for easy transportation).
No, they are extraordinarily absurd. One is a choice, the other is a directive. Also, lots of people don't even watch other people in Instagram - just pictures of scenes, animals, etc since that is their interest. And the recommendations reflect their choice of interest.

If you cannot see this critical difference between enforced directive and choice of interest, then god help you.
I shouldn't have called it "their JSON". Systems that accept HCL usually accept JSON as well, but HCL is much more human friendly. See https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl
Being more rhythmic will help if you frequently interchagne letter combinations that are faster to type. Or if you type on a typewriter it helps prevent jamming the typebars together.
Vue 3 will change all that. It's written in typescript with first-class support and the composition API is like React hooks but better for most cases.

Vue's templating is standard HTML which means it can be delivered by any server-side language/framework. This is where Vue shines in adding interactivity to many typical apps without going fully SPA.
Let's drop the analogy and discuss reality.

What do you blame Trump for?

From what I've read, the US response was hindered mostly by a faulty reagent in the CDC's test kits, which led to an inability to test patients for the virus.[1] How is a faulty reagent Trump's fault?

And even with that hinderence, the course of the virus, the number of people hospitalized, and the government policies in the US seem to be proceeding in parallel with most other developed nations.

>the same brand of broken-mindedness that brought us the "only sick people should wear masks"

So apparently qualified health professionals having to deal with masks shortage are "broken-minded", but a bunch of armchair MD Internet commenters are correct.
The trains are only still running for healthcare and other essential workers, and almost nobody is on them. London is like a ghost town right now.
London simply can’t fully shut down it’s transit. People who can’t work from home (like, y’know, hospital workers) need it to get to work.

But likewise, it doesn’t make sense to run empty trains every 90 seconds that nobody is using, especially when losing vast sums of money due to vastly reduced ticket revenue. And there won’t be as many staff available (self isolation, parents looking after kids due to school closures, etc).

Demand will probably be down by 90% or more next week, so even if you reduce service by 50% you still have far less crowded trains than usual.
Yeah they won't put troops on the streets with rifles, that's not how we role in the UK. They will be acting like police officers (who are normally not armed) if they are deployed.
I haven't played the game since about 2001, when my friends decided it wasn't cool any more. They (we) moved on to Magic: the Gathering instead, which was a problem as I was the teenager with by far the least money in our group. My parents had just about accepted that Warhammer was expensive but intricate and time-consuming (equivalent to my dad's train set in the 1950s), but 15 cards for £$€? No way. I more-or-less agreed with them.

So anyway, in anticipation of having plenty of spare evenings and weekends in the coming months, I went to the Warhammer shop yesterday, and picked out one of the fantasy races. I bought the "Starter Pack", a 10cm high hero I liked the look of, and the biggest and most expensive monster-heroine-sorceress-something for that race. Plus some paints.

It was probably a life goal of mine, age 14 or so, to be able to afford to do this.
Such tags have been used for years here in northern European supermarkets. Not sure how similar they really are though.
Yes, but it is not contagious as covid19 is.
These directives take less than a day to learn. 99% of the time it's far easier to write HTML tags with data and event binding directives than hack around with JSX and passing all those props.

You can also use JSX with Vue if you want. Just add a render() function to the component. That's what happens anyway when you use a normal template, the Vue compiler turns it into a render function the same way JSX is compiled by React.

"Didn't die" is not the same as "was not harmed".

This relentless focus only on the people who died misses the point: covid-19 puts people in hospital, sometimes into intensive care, and many of those people end up with damaged lungs.

What you wrote is blatant lie, particularly the part with creating a typed component library. I've created 7 components as of yesterday, using TS, zero hacks and zero problems.

It's so annoying when a person with clear lack of understanding decides they're competent to critique a tool and then they literally - lie.

Keep using React, it's awesome you like it but please - do some fact checking. I know you want to believe that Vue and TS don't play together, but that's just not true.
DirectX Developer Day Schedule (GDC 2020 Talks)
Setting up an artificial Mars would involve different gravity, air pressure, atmosphere composition, and the weathering patterns of the material are probably difficult to predict.

Most of the reason to send a probe somewhere is to learn more about it, so I assume the only knowledge was sparse and possibly inaccurate educated guesses based on other data.

That's also probably a good reason to send up a wider tolerance, but less useful design first and follow up with a more targeted design that can do more as a revision on the product. Budgets are probably the reason to not do that.
Because he never used Vue with TS. It's a blatant lie and utter bullshit.
I have used react and vue and I prefer vue. React is fine but it has a few issues such as having to write className instead of class in the html templates (yes I know why). It's not a big difference between all these new frameworks though, and it will be a huge improvement over html generated from PHP with some jQuery.
A reverse situation here. I deal with strict no typescript policy, so besides a problem of finding typescript devs, we have a problem of having to "de-typescript" a lot of 3rd party code.

Typescript has a lot of adoption within with ex-Java devs, and with that comes a lot of "Java-think." It's hard for these people to adapt to not doing things "the Java way" and vice versa.

And another part of the problem is that people have burnt themselves badly with Coffeescript, Clojurescript, and few other *scripts that were coming and going trends, and were an enormous LTS burden because of tooling that breaks as fast as you fix it.
The liquidity crunch in the global market can be used to negotiate a better deal for Saudi Arabia. Still, it's hard to know how good it will be without knowing more details.

People with inflamed lungs caused by viral infection are at increased risk of bacterial pneumonia, so we need to know whether antibiotics are an effective prophylactic measure.
This shows some of the potential of health-related data-collection everywhere, and cross-referencing it with time and geography (among other dimensions). It is obviously already happening, but these types of overviews are largely kept behind closed doors as of yet. Releasing the data in such an easy digestible manner would democratize the knowledge and enable crowd-sourcing of solutions.

The technical issues are solved, and there are only 4 main hurdles IMO: 1. privacy, 2. data is privately owned (it costs to have it released), 3. professional gate keeping and 4. that governments are not yet tasked with addressing the problem. Surely all of these can be overcome, with various multi-pronged approaches.

Where there are gaps in your own knowledge, truth becomes about trust and relevance.
I don't know that e = mc^2 but I trust scientists that it is the case but it doesn't matter to me much either way; I would not participate in any argument about this subject because although my level of trust is strong, I personally have nothing at stake whether this fact is true or false (it is not relevant to me).

People who have a huge ego tend to think that every fact they know is a crucial part of their personal identify; these people tend to avoid saying "I dont' know" because doing so would be an admission that their information sources (which they see as extensions of themselves) are not trustworthy and are therefore low value (which would bring down their own self-worth).

Why? Typescript just compiles down to JS, and type definitions are used IDEs so they still help when writing JS.

I am not sure what you don't understand. There is no way you can cram desktop grade cpu and gpu in such a small space. You could put laptop line of cpus + gpus there which are slower and probably shouldn't be run 24/7 (apples usecase is NAS). Or you put just desktop cpu which has ok integrated graphics already.
Why do you have to de-typify Typescript dependencies? You can mix typed and untyped code with a gradual typing approach, and tools like webpack make this very easy?

Japanese leaders get free houses, air travel, etc. worth millions. In the US you must report that to the IRS, but not in Japan.

However, American leaders scam their company using buybacks, which is the top white-collar crime of the past 2 centuries. (By boosting EPS, your options/shares are worth much more, and you can automatically hit any EPS targets.)

Even hardware engineers in Japan are treated really well - the company will find you an apartment, a wife, etc. When you travel, you don't carry anything, you can Fedex it ahead of your trip. Your business card from a major company is essentially a VIP pass everywhere.
I've tried it for modeling tasks but I struggled with the sort of basic data manipulation that can be done within pandas/data.table.

I don’t disagree its technically very impressive but there's no point in having these amazing features if it stumbles with such basic tasks.

I stopped reading at the title "Problems arise".

Example contains a piece of code that uses nested loops and each loop queries the db - producing many queries.

There's no problem with ActiveRecord. There's a big problem with programmers not learning relational databases.

Here's an excerpt from the post: "To get all ISBNs of all deceased Italian authors in the Active Record pattern"

Now look at this black magic: you create an SQL view with all the joins you need in order to cross-reference data and extract what you want, then you have your ORM use your view as if it were a table. Job done. Your code is now 1 liner and the database won't receive too many queries.

I know that the text references SQL views but this is what's said about them: "SQL has views too of course, but most ORMs don't have any support for them"

A view is, for all intents and purposes, a table to the ORM. There's no special support needed for it, if you use the view to read from it.

I'm sorry for being one of those guys who shit on someone's hard work, but the mister Cal Peterson missed the whole football field here.
Neat! I tried my luck with unicode symbols once because they scale nicely as well, but many browsers just desecrate them.

⏪ ⏩ are two examples, while these ► are pretty plain. Not that I don't like the specific designs, but the customization destroys any chance of their use if you want to keep consistent looks. In chrome they are on a blue background. I think other browsers might display them differently. Would be cool to have a neutral design that could be adjusted by font color.

But anyway, thank you for your work!

Please count the number of open bugs

JS tooling is already an enormous jenga tower as it is, with tooling breakages eating a double digit of developer time. Adding typescript on top of that would be the real madness.

Typescript will not help us a dime with type checking for most of devs we hire are long past the stage when typing errors are a thing for them.

On the down side, even certainly not cheap to hire devs with 6-7-8-10+ years of experience have to battle JS tooling every day.

Like half of all genuine bug triage time is already spent on webpack, bable, and other things in the tooling stack. 200 hours a month for $30-$40 per hour devs.

Imagine doubling that digit when they have to also spend time on learning typescript, and fixing it.

No, it does not pay off at all
