I'm also avoiding typescript as much as I can, but not because typescript itself, but because of how typescript projects tends to be outlined. Lots of the projects are way over-engineered for where they are on the timeline and typescript makes people reach for classes too early. Seeing the same with vanilla JS projects now too when `class` been introduced.

Instead I'm stricly using ClojureScript as the tooling is really solid in everything Clojure, backwards compatibility is a huge selling point in everything Clojure and projects using Clojure/Script tends to be just of the right size and think more about the data structures themselves instead of what many refer to "proper engineering" (SOLID patterns and other nonsense)
I'd say that there are several reasons:

- Spain's government celebrated the 8 of May parade against recommendations of EU and Madrid regional government [1]. In 1918 Philadelphia suffered from this mistake [2].

- Spains's government and journalists downplayed the fears to the COVID-19 of people during weeks while Italy was having more than 1k contagions. They also encouraged people to get out, go to bars, etc. Because, "it's only the flu" [3].

- Madrid Barajas Airport has the biggest flow of air traffic in country.

- Spain is depopulated but there are a great concentration of people living in Madrid [4] and Madrid hospitals have collapsed (they have a death each 16 minutes [5])

You're assuming "building things" will bring us closer to getting to know the world a little better (or its essence), that might be false.

> so of course they would be a small minority of philosophers

I'm not a philosopher myself but I found Heraclitus's writings (Democritus's, too) a lot more interesting than many philosophers' writings from the 20th century, in this field being more modern doesn't necessarily mean being better or knowing more.
I believe Germany reports deaths differently. Last I heard, they are not reporting covid deaths where the person had some underlying health condition and are instead only reporting those deaths where the cause was covid and only covid. I’m sorry I don’t have a link and don’t have the time to dig it up — check BBC or Guardian coverage of the European epidemic.
> Because if we let it ride, and the hospitals fill up, that's the number we're looking at.

Actually, we're looking at a bigger number in that case, because people without the disease but still in need of a hospital/ICU.bed are going to die who otherwise would have survived.

I understand that this is an example so I try to build some context around those queries.

The issue here is that you (apparently) want to guarantee that whoever sees the result of the select (probably a customer) can safely buy the last available book with the update.

This can't be solved in a simple way because minutes can pass between that select and that update. This means that you can't put those queries in a transaction. If you could you should use select for update

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-select.html

I used code like update table set counter = counter + 1 / - 1 many times without transactions when all I have to do is to update a counter and nothing else in the system really cares about the value of the counter. If this is not the case, the queries accessing the counter should use some form of locking. A transaction is not enough.

This is the first good guide I found googling for examples

Academia.

Most classes are transitioning to an online format, using Zoom, Blackboard collaborate, or other videoconferencing software. Professors will also likely be using this software to meet with individual students one-on-one.

Research seminars too. For example, here is an online conference being conducted over Zoom:

Here is an example of a weekly seminar that moved online:

Since last Friday I've been making my Zoom virtual background a daily rotation of artwork. It's been a fun and educational experience for me (I'm no art expert, just a casual fan of museums) and I think my friends and co-workers have enjoyed it. When you're mostly stuck at home all day it's nice to have a daily "new" to look forward to.

I've been recording my choices and when this is over I'll have a little "Zoom Museum" as a kind of artistic memorial of the pandemic.

This link is a great source for new art, so thank you OP!

Æternity's Starfleet Update – WeiDex and AMPnet
If you're referring to the odds ratio between group A control and group B covid, then that's not a Bayes factor AFAIK. A Bayes factor is to compare two hypothesis. You can have an odds ratio of 1.00001 which is very significant (eg. female/male birth ratio)
Can we infer from this that flu prior to 1918 was less severe on average? Or is the result not that strong?
Wait for Germany to come. I saw yesterday a restaurant full of elderly people. No single chair empty!!! People everywhere in groups, kids running in packs around closed(!) playgrounds. Today in grocery store only foreigners wore masks. Maybe 20% of shoppers were with masks. There is Iranian new year celebration on weekend and then catholic Eastern in another couple weeks. In the middle of April shit will heavily hit the fan.
This is extremely interesting. What kind of SLM is that? As I'm sure you're aware 48 angles is unusually small for this kind of thing as most existing printers use (expensive) SLMs of at least XGA resolution, or 1024 horizontal angles; the limiting factor for resolution is generally the data pipeline and lighting setup rather than the printer hardware. But it sounds like you might be taking a radical approach.

ALso, are you targeting single or double parallax? Again the limiting factor there is usually software - there really needs to be a "Cura" of holography to properly democratize this (I am currently working on a Blender plugin, but that can't cover the entire scope).
Abstract:
"We demonstrate that widespread use of masks by the general population could be an effective strategy for slowing down the spread of COVID-19. Since surgical masks might not become available in sufficient numbers quickly enough for general use and sufficient compliance with wearing surgical masks might not be possible everywhere, we argue that simple do-it-yourself designs or commercially available cloth masks could reduce the spread of infection at minimal costs to society."

Fine... and any response to the substance of my posts?

To pivot to the psychology, I'm going to conclude: Here you are, changing the topic, because as I said above, you are a Trump defender (I will assume this until I see a denial) who can't admit that he's been taken for a ride, because, as I copy-pasted above, you think "I'm not a gullible person!".

If you want to show me you're curious and open-minded, respond to the substances about Trump. Otherwise I'll keep my conclusions and walk away.
This also resonates with recent sentiment that telling people that "masks don't work" (with the intention of keeping people from buying masks when they are scarce even for health care workers) can backfire significantly:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-face-...

The major reason why masks are not promoted on a wide scale is because there simply are not enough masks right now. Simple DIY masks are not perfect, but certainly better than the current state of hardly any use of masks in public at all.
Against covid-19 and human viruses in general, as a means to limit spread, a trashcan full of damp paper is likely safer than a trashcan full of dry paper, dry snot in your pocket or similar alternatives.

A virus needs living human/animal cells to procreate, (I guess) it's less likely to spread from a damp vs. dry and dusty material, and is likely to decontaminate much sooner - even the mentioned nastiness could be decomposing the virus.

Whether the sick person is likely to get a secondary infection is another issue, though I'm not sure why you consider wet paper a horrible breeding ground.
Why would Arch dropping the FHS be the tipping point? Surely Arch represents hackers and not mainstream Linux users. In much the same way I wouldn't cite Linux users are a tipping point in any computer system convention (but Mac OS or Android or Windows), I wouldn't cite Arch in a Linux system convention (but Debian or Ubuntu or Red Hat). Why do you consider Arch as the tipping point?
Maybe you should have told every single government in the world, because none predicted that it would have this huge of an impact. SARS1 pretty much stayed in China, MERS pretty much stayed in the Middle East. It was only when a country like Italy was caught by surprise that governments started to consider very far reaching measures.
Viral spread is more complicated than a simple exponential curve. This is even visible when just eyeballing graphs in log space, e.g. here: https://mackuba.eu/corona/#total
By the way (and not flamebaiting here) this is one of the reasons why "this is natural selection" is the phrase that makes me the most angry in all of this. Death by flu is selection for random shit that cause you to be better off against only one thing and that is: that exact desease causing strain.

The worst thing about Covid 19 to me is how it selects against old people, and even worse: Friendly, sociable old people.

They likely followed the same pattern.

Severe initial outbreak when a new super strain appeared, then a gradual decline in severity as immunity developed and the strain continued to evolve.

Rinse and repeat.

1918 was the first time that a flu benefited from modern transportation speed and the massive movement of humanity to and from Europe because of the war.

So in the past an equally deadly flu would inadvertently be contained simply because infected carriers couldn't move to new, uninfected areas before they were dead or and beaten the virus.

This is a great answer and imo should go in your FAQ [0] because charging for let's-encrypt certs does come off as disingenuous especially when AWS, Netlify, and Zeit and other services offer to do so, for free, despite them having to maintain a PKI which isn't exactly a walk in the park (like you point out).

SARS1 didn't have this effect. MERS didn't have this effect. And a number of other recent viruses didn't either.

It's a lot like posting response rate. For one thing, it's a polite rejection. Politeness encourages more applicants. Not having a black hole will also encourage applicants to complete the process. There's also some fatigue/anxiety as part of a long process, which will affect the requested salary or acceptance - someone is more likely to accept a well paid job with a pleasant process than a well paid job with a tiresome process.

YC, Toptal, and many universities post their acceptance rate, and it's only proven a good thing. The ambitious ones will be encouraged to try even with a low acceptance rate.

What do you mean by this? npm packages at least are already "de-typescripted", in the sense that they're just .js files with accompanying .d.ts files describing the former to people using editors with TypeScript support.

(Also, it feels like you've experienced a weird subset of TypeScript code. It also happens to be an enormous help when doing things "the Javascript way", which is what it's actually designed for. But I can imagine that encountering bad apples can sour the experience for you.)
