At least with Sublime Text the configuration file would be opened in the app itself, not goddamn Visual Studio.

Also, can do is one thing, likes to do (learning a JSON schema to change the font size) is something else.

Oh, and tons of people use a terminal under guidance when they need to accomplish something that’s otherwise difficult or impossible.
It's fascinating to us, but somehow no journalist has noticed the phenomenon.

It's easier to test + trace when you can control people flow within your country.

I think it's a little wreckless for the media to elevate the South Korea model without comparing ground realities. SK: basically an island, water on three sides, even more impenetrable North Korean DMZ on the other. Majority of their 50k visitors a day comes via air. Compared to Canada, while we're fortunate enough to only share border with US, but it's also a country 10x CAN population with very lax border crossing process. CAN/US exchange 300k people per day at many border crossings, some of them unmanned/unmonitored. If shit breaks down, it's basically a porous open border. Canada also has 130k air travelers per day. Both CAN & US also receives more visitors from more countries than Korea. Korean trade is done via shipping, Canada has vast supply chain dependency that networks directly into US via highways (thousands of truck drivers) and rail. The exposure, in terms of population flow and commerce, is on a totally different level. Other considerations, Korea has am ore compliant population, there's mandatory civil service and they were a dictatorship until 1979, so anyone over 50, i.e. the vulnerable population have experience with hard times knows how to fall in line (except the religious cults). They also have experience with SARS, which Toronto, Canada has as well, though our response was less than great according to our postmortem.

I feel like the media is hyping up S.Korea because it's the most reasonable democratic analogue with an adequate response. No one is going to take mimicking Taiwan, Singapore or HK model seriously because the gulf in ground realities is too large. But most medium size countries with porous border has closer conditions to China than South Korea.

Also I don't see this get mentioned at all, but S.Korea politics is pretty corrupt, at least measured against other OECD countries. Almost every one of their former presidents have been jailed or dirty for various reasons. I don't know why people trust their data given how politicized response to this virus is. The administration has every incentive to cover up as well. Time will tell.

See "The fates of former presidents of South Korea", it's a gongshow.

"Console" can have a multitude of different meanings.
Maybe it works that way, because users prefer to follow pretty people.
I wouldn't worry too much. For all the bad things our country has, labour court isn't one of them (well it can be) as it almost sides with workers all the time. If they try to fire you, they will end up paying you a lot and give you your contract back.

> > Moreover, without massive changes elsewhere in society, UBI would decrease social mobility and lead to a two-class society that keeps the poor even poorer than now.

> Could you elaborate on that a bit? How and why would it do that?

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on UBI myself and have merely been to a talk+discussion about it, so I'm happy to be convinced otherwise or hear opposing arguments.

I see two problems. First, a realistic UBI would be at an extremely low level, barely exceeding the existence minimum. However, it would diminish employer's willingness to treat people in unqualified low-wage jobs fairly and well (in small companies they do that a lot). They would fire and hire as they see fit, because someone fired supposedly could live easily off UBI. It seems to me that a consequence of this attitude is also that wages for those jobs would sink and some of these jobs might even degrade into unpaid "internships", based on the argument that people with UBI can take those jobs to have a purpose or for personal development, but don't need them to sustain their life. In reality many of them would still depend on those jobs, though, because UBI would be too low.

Second, UBI itself does not prevent massive capital accumulation and the continuously increasing divide between rich and poor, and it does not prevent the spreading of wealth by inheritance (as opposed to merits and work). There is no obvious reason (or at least I cannot see it) why UBI would change the current trend of increasing the gap.

Taking these two issues together, I don't see how UBI can solve society's main problem, which is this increasing gap between rich and poor and all problems that come with it regarding eduction, health care, political power distribution, social mobility, renters vs. land-owners, gentrification, etc.

I'm not an economist, but Negative Income Tax seems much better to me.
The ideal way to stop community spread is to keep everyone more or less in their homes. Failing that, you can isolate communities from each other, and failing that, you can isolate states and countries from each other.

In principle, closing the border between Washington State and British Columbia is a good idea, just as closing the border between Washington and Oregon is a good idea. It just happens to turn out that it’s much easier to close the international border than the interstate border, and if you’re solving a problem, you typically do the easier parts first.

From a pandemic standpoint travelers tend to go to the same places as other travelers. Further, people are generally going to avoid known hotspots but unknown hotspots represent the great risk for spreading as people don’t realize what’s going on until much later. At the extreme, carefully returning people with known infections was a minimal risk due to the preventive measures taken.

Net result most Americans that got the virus from a foreign country got it outside of China. Completely closing the borders and or adding a 14 day quarantine for new arrivals would have helped. Just banning travel to China was mostly pointless.

> has already been unwittingly uploading

Majority have been doing it unwittingly, true. But you do get services in return. I actually know about the collection, and in case of Google, in my opinion I get compensated in a reasonable way. I'm contributing to wigle and osm as well to counteract the monopoly, but in practice - it's worth it. We could attach some risk to everything and consider what would happen if gov abused it, but we'll all have some threshold of saying "I'm ok with it in exchange for participation in modern society" (it can be re-evaluated later of course)

The alternative is to not accept any of the risks and live in a disconnected commune. Which is ok if that's what you're after, but... that won't apply to most people.

>take the people with excess wealth - providing no utility right now

Most "excess wealth" is tied up in business and other investments. It's not like wealthy people just horde cash like Scrooge McDuck. That wealth is currently working to support the economy. It is hardly passive.

Forcing the wealthy to pay increased tax on this value will cause them to close business functions, sell stocks, etc.

Is that really wise at this point in time? To redistribute value from existing, proven formats into unspecific, theoretically useful ones?

Theft is not immoral simply because it is unfair or mean. It's because it causes systemic dysfunction.

Here in Paradise, I had some unused 3M N95 NIOSH respirators leftover from the Camp Fire. Who knew they'd be useful for more than gardening and sawing lumber? I also snagged a few 3M 1870 surgical masks before the gouging and scarcity for their higher surface area because going out in public and pushing a 400 lbs / 180 kg shopping cart around in a light-duty respirator is likely to be a not as fun adventure in breath condensation. Be sure to also wear eye protection like indirect or non-vented goggles too, because wearing regular glasses will likely aerodynamically direct small particulates into the eyes.

What's the time interval from "closed" to "I can write a note" (carefully avoiding the word "off" because that might mean something different on an e-ink device).

I've tried a few things in the last couple of years to take my note taking electronic, and it turns out that delay is important - if there's too much delay I end up not jotting down the couple of quick notes I need to write. Wunderlist opens very quickly on my Android phone and I ended up unconsciously using it to write down quick things. OneNote (an otherwise great tool) take an age to open and get to the right page, so I end up not using it except at my desk.
It's not the same though, is it? On Instagram and TikTok and the likes, you don't need "ugly filters", because there's instant feedback: clicks, impressions, likes, hearts, comments, whatever. In the film industry, for example, you won't know whether the product will be a success or not until after the fact that you spent a ton of money on it.
Actually, yes, once this is over it's reasonable to assume restaurant patronage will see a huge surge beyond prior levels, at least for a time.

The configuration file opens in whatever app is associated with the format.

If you associated JSON files with VS then that's specific to your personal setup and unrelated to the Terminal app.

You also don't need to learn JSON schema and - I'm sorry to say this - but if editing a well-documented text format is too much of a hurdle to you, then maybe you're simply not the target demographic for the app.

The tons of people who blindly use copy-pasta wouldn't even need to use the Terminal app (a tool explicitly aimed at power users and devs), so that's a non-argument to start with.
>How about a GRANT instead of a loan?

You mean free money, just because? How could you even begin to figure out who deserves it? That'd be a lot of offices and bureaucracy to set up to solve the question. Unless you just want to give wads of cash to any restaurant claiming to need help, in which case I'm glad you're not leading the economy.
While humorous, let me just say that this is a horrible thing to actually do. Especially since most of the hierarchy is probably not responsible for the decision, but I wouldn't even do it to the person making the decision (though I'm strongly against the decision personally).

Each to their own and all but I've always found it weird that some tmux users would spend hours setting up their keyboard driven interfaces (the terminal) and then prefer to use the mouse to switch between different applications running on it. Particularly when tmux has such a great support for keyboard hotkeys. I'm not out to criticise anyone's preferred workflow but it is a pattern that has always taken me a little by surprise.

if they find them quick enough they can still stop them from going exponential, but to do that you have to test more people faster. failing that they'll be forced to go into lockdown in more areas.

You do realise the difference between a console and a terminal app?

The terminal app is no replacement for PuTTY - they're orthogonal use cases. Terminal is a host app for text-based shells, no more, no less.
Well... it worked in South Korea. It would have to be temporary and only for positive tests.
Nope. Terrible.
Ah, okay

Somehow I never had an issue with that.
You obviously don't get it how a virus survives outside body. It survives because it is inside a wet biological droplet; breathing through a surgical mask would make the area around intake wet with some human cells, making it a wonderful spot for survival of viruses; it basically makes it a prime collector surface. The mask itself is permeable and whatever viruses are collected on the outer layer thrive there unless the surface was strongly antiseptic (hint: it isn't). To be safe, you'd have to change it pretty often; surgeons moreover don't touch their masks while they are performing a surgery, you probably wouldn't have such limitations. "I have seen such a mask in a Hollywood movie, that means it must work."

COVID-19 family is also pretty agile:

"The analysis of 22 studies reveals that human coronaviruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days."

Good luck relying on the safety from wearing surgical masks! /s

The government says they can perform around 7,500 test a day.
However, the total number of tests are much lower than that. Please see the data below.
https://toyokeizai.net/sp/visual/tko/covid19/en.html

3/17 is kind of an outlier, because there were too many tests for those who were in close contact with suspected carriers.
Some countries have a sufficient manufacturing base that allows them to spin up mass manufacturing of (for example) masks over a month or two.

You don't need to keep spare capacity for everything, but you need to have local capacity (not necessarily spare) for building custom manufacturing machines and staffing them, so that you can divert it to manufacture arbitrary physical goods if needed. Some countries can do that, most don't - but some of these could and should build that capacity.

This whole comment basically says, "it is how it is, so you can't criticize it." It is like saying, "racism will exist. Humans are just racist. Should businesses be publicly shamed for being racist if it is what their users want?"

Now as for how we should treat businesses that treat people better based on their looks is not something I have a strong opinion about, but my two cents is that looks should not be a factor of how people get treated because it is possible that representation of "ugly" people in media could make many diverse looking people "attractive" to younger generations. This would be beneficial because it means that talent would have more priority over looks than before.
Console = terminal in my lingo. PuTTY is a console/terminal, plus an SSH client. What definitions are you using by comparison?

Latency as experienced by the end user is dominated by the fat fail, for both technical reasons and psychological ones.

Technical ones are probably the most convincing: it is very rare to have users submit single requests and then be done. Especially in the cloudified, service-oriented stacks of today, even single requests lead to a cascade of requests inside the system. Whenever you have tens or hundreds of requests for a single user, it starts becoming very likely that they hit that fat tail at some point in their journey.

Given that latency is dominated by "outliers", looking at anything but p99 and beyond is meaningless.

What's worse is this: since most people at best look at p95 or p99, they tend to optimise for "the common case" at the cost of tail latencies! They introduce insane variance in latencies making benchmarks better, but things actually get worse for real users.

Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine.

This is by Graham Oppy. He and Edward Feser, a Cahtholic philosopher / philosophy professor, recent had two online discussions on theology. YouTube links on Feser's site:

There's a lot of 'bad atheism' out there: folks who attack straw man arguments and get basic things wrong (most of the "New Atheists" fall into this camp). Oppy does not seem to be one of those.
