First, you need good mechanical keyboard. Some people will advocate for specific models or switches, but you need to choose one by yourself by typing on it.

Second, you need to learn touch typing. There are some tips:

a) buy keyboard with blank keycaps;

b) if you can't buy such keyboard (you really should), try to pull out keycaps and randomly change their order;

c) put blanked or some non-transparent sheet over your hands.

Third, change keypress repeat interval rate and delay in your system. It will force you to hit keys quicker. If you're using linux, good starter is to run 'xset r rate 200 60'. It means 'start repeating key if it's pressed for more that 200ms and repeat it 60 times per second'. Then gradually decrease first number and increase second.

Some people will tell, that typing speed doesn't matter much, but that's not true. When you get into the flow, you're stopping thinking verbally and starting to think in entire code blocks. It's crucial to not be hindered by keyboard in that case.

And remember, it should be uncomfortable at first. Otherwise, there will be no progress.
The reason is the new company knows they will not be bailed out if they encounter a similar situation in the future, thus the expectation is they would be more careful in managing cashflow and saving for a rainy day.

I think there's a fair argument to make that running a profitable business isn't government's core competency. They operate under different financial constraints. At the same time though, we've overspecialized in the private sector. We have people so specialized in running a business that the actual thing the business does is abstracted away. Putting them in positions of control turns the business into a social parasite.
It's nice as long as your document fits on a single page. Otherwise you need several of them, and it won't allow you to scribble on it or highlight stuff.

IMO this is still less functional than an ordinary sheet of paper, this just solve the energy issue, but not much else.

I'd still probably go with a powered one just to get the benefit of swapping pages and taking notes on it.

On the other hand, if the can manage to make something that can power them over a longer distance than typical NFC, I could see those used for in-office digital signage (meeting room status and schedule, employee schedule, etc) which doesn't require a battery swap, PoE or some other kind of way to power it.

As someone who does keep cash on hand, I find it frustrating when those who don't are bailed out. That said, hasn't almost every bailout the government has give returned a big profit? So (grants aside) isn't this just the lender of last resort seizing a good business opportunity? And as tax payers, that's good for all of us right?

If we decline, then there will be big disruption (bad for us as consumers), supply will contract unnecessarily driving up prices (bad for both consumers and taxpayers) and some private lender will make a killing selectively bailing out or investing. Sound better?

Yeah. I type 65-75 wpm. No injuries. However, I only type that speed for short bouts. Emails, notes, planning documents. Typically, I am not typing. When coding, my limit is not my typing speed; it is my thinking through the problem and how to design and test the solution.

article by John Ioannidis, MD. Key paragraphs:

"The data collected so far on how many people are infected and how the epidemic is evolving are utterly unreliable. Given the limited testing to date, some deaths and probably the vast majority of infections due to SARS-CoV-2 are being missed. We don’t know if we are failing to capture infections by a factor of three or 300."

He infers that the true case fatality rate has a very broad range, but lower than what was announced by WHO:
"the real death rate could stretch from five times lower (0.025%) to five times higher (0.625%)

I'd like to get faster into the range of 200-300 as I see other people typing at on leaderboards, but I don't know what I should do. Should I switch away from QWERTY?

So far, the only journalism I've found worth paying for is Monocle. Had subscriptions to The Economist and The Information for awhile before canceling them.

What would be nice is a pay per article approach. I find Monocle quality enough for an annual subscription, and sometimes The Economist is worth getting for a weekly here and there.

Also, another thing keeping me from having many subscriptions to different rags is how much information is free online (even things like the HN comments section have a wealth of information).

Yes, there are certain limitations and you have found some. Thank you for exposing those. I will definitely work to improve the app. It is in very early stage and I am currently using it for my own task management.

My initial intention was to allow horizontal scrolling together with swiping between columns, but somehow I prefer the nice transition effects. So the scrolling is not supported for now. My future plans are to keep it that way plus addressing the issue with non visible columns that you pointed out.

Meta: IMO part of the problem is the way the site handles opposition, passive-aggressively making unpopular opinions gradually near-impossible to read doesn't support the concept of high-brow, adult, conversation.

I absolutely agree with your comment, but that's exactly what the original poster was referring to, I think, with "something is terribly wrong with [...] the basic laws of capitalism", one being the free market, as you just mentioned.
I feel for text wrapping, letting it simply flow off the device screen works well in this UX scenario because all of these devices should be expected to be multi-touch enabled. It is very intuitive for a mobile device user to swipe left/right in order to scroll content that is obviously clipped by the screen dimensions. Swiping left/right and pinching to zoom are the very first things I tried when reviewing a PR. I feel if you could support some approach where the text item is displayed at full scale always (no line break/wrapping), and the user can basically treat the view like they would an image (pinch-to-zoom/pan).

Additionally, perhaps the code review process on mobile could be somewhat different from the desktop experience. Instead of trying to display the full diff all at once for a file, perhaps you aggregate the diff regions, and then display those one-at-a-time. Sort of like a tinder for code reviews. Swipe left on a diff region for deeper review, swipe right for approval. Lots of cool stuff you can do if you fully-leverage the mobile device environment and related user knowledge.

BTW, I love the direction all of this is headed in. Keep up the great work.

> Do you know if the Chinese economy will ever recover

Why wouldn't it (eventually)? Demand will change, but people aren't going to forget how to work, how to buy, or how to build. There is a _ton_ of cultural infrastructure that goes beyond physical infrastructure and ultimately, unless we were all building stuff nobody actually wanted or could use (e.g. dotcom bubble) the economy will eventually recover.

We don't know the timing, or the extent that bad assets will be kicked out (e.g. mortgages), and we also don't know to what extent money printing has erased savings, but ultimately there's a tremendous amount of cultural and physical infrastructure that will continue to exist, and a tremendous amount of demand that will return.

An Essay concerning Human Understanding (1689) [pdf]
WinUI 3.0 finally offers some of the "Carbon" to Windows 8's "Cocoa" (in XAML Islands and better overall interop with Win32 and older OS releases). Microsoft's attempt to go "Cocoa only" missed the "Carbon" stage that that their own application teams internally warned them they would probably need (as those same teams had warned Apple about in the originally "Rhapsody" plan to skip an intermediate stage like "Carbon" entirely). Maybe after WinUI 3.0 has been out the door for a while and more apps transition to targeting WinUI 3.0 they can think about killing Win32 only and going "Cocoa only".

It would be funny, if that was not true. Still, for once his very singular approach to issues may be a net benefit to the population at large ( somewhat watered down bill instead full blown one ).

I chose to assume it was not a re-infection and it just came back in a rare case, which is very possible.

If not, we are dead and it's pointless planing around collapse of society.

It makes much more sense to assume we have a solid ( IE at least a year in most cases) herd immunity.

Planning around no herd immunity is like planning in depth around bankruptcy at round one funding.
If a business owner wants to skirt the regulations by following the letter of the law instead of the spirit of it, that's fine and we can consider them all assholes. The rules are to keep people from getting sick. I hope all of his employees go on strike like the Mercedes and VW ones.
What do you think the alternative is?

What kind of margins do you think most businesses run on? I think it's a very real possibility that many or even most businesses will simply cease to exist if they have to pay 3-6 months of rent on a space they are making 0 revenue on.

My statement was not based on margins, but on these alternatives: eating 3 months of rent and getting 9 months of rent after that, or asking for (and possibly not getting) 3 months of rent, then getting 9 months of NO rent because the business is closed. 9 months of rent being better for margins than 0 months of rent.

But, I'm not of the opinion that landlords get screwed here. There's probably going to have to be this sort of deferment on a massive scale to really jump-start coming out of this. I'd imagine the landlord would also be getting breaks from their upstream.
> "we need to flatten the curve so that everyone gets it over 41 years!"

>They return the $1.02m owed for the loan and pocket the rest as profit.

This makes sense. Reduction in debt with the proceeds. Just like the other poster, you are concocting a strategy that is not happening. You hypothetical does not apply.

Instead, the companies are simply taking on debt and keeping it on their balance sheet.Now that there is a downturn, they cannot service the debt and need funding to operate (e.g. bailout) They are betting that the government will keep rates low or fund them in a time of crisis because they are too big, too important to fail. They've also bought up competition so they cannot just " go away" and let new entrants enter the market.

They address this:

> Full disclosure: While it is absolutely true that it is in our direct interest that web developers don't use something we are still working on implementing ourselves (considering our limited capacity as a smaller non-profit community, which is likely the same for any other true Open Source/Libre projects out there), the impact of what is outlined above is much more far-reaching than just our own projects; not only is it pushing for a proprietary web that is vendor-locked, it also, as stated, becomes something that will be impossible to archive, save or process.

So, yeah, they have special interest, but that doesn't take away from their point.

Never used Netlify, but that seems odd. Isn't it a hosting provider? Unless you're really tiny team, usually you'd want a centralized process for running the build & deploy (rather than having any developer that wants to release something running the build on their slightly different local environment and deploying it directly), possibly hooked into a CD pipeline. Why do you need to pay per developer?
If you read the virological.org link, the first comment is from a Japanese team that independently reached the same conclusion as Tang et al.

I've seen a bunch of scientists who will nitpick any Chinese paper to bits. Mostly older scientists. In the case of this virus, the need to publish before the usual review means there are guaranteed to be flaws. The Glasgow call to retract was a pretty aggressive way to go after the people who know the most about the virus but couldn't prove everything they had learned.
That's pretty cray-cray. I feel like you could just create a CloudFormation template, have a "Launch Stack" button, and get people to pay you to maintain it for $10 / user / month and have a company easy-peasy. Throw in backups via Batch, I think they use EC2 Spot instances so its crazy cheap.

I get that you should always charge more if possible, but I'm much more concerned with surviving during hard times, and there's just less to ablate away if you stick more or less to first principles.
