I can't find an online source to document this - but on a recent tour of Chislehurst Caves in SE London - the tour guide mentioned that during the second world war, when it was used as a bomb shelter for some 15,000 local residents, the heat built up inside to over 30°C very quickly. When the war ended he said, it took about 10 years for the temperature to return to it's now rather chilly 10°C.

I can't see where your server locations are, it'd be great to see that. I have some region specific needs.
Why do all countries seem to apply the very same RETARDED logic here?!

You want MORE busses / trains whatever! To lower the amount of time people spend in crowded places like stations while waiting for them. To lower the amount of people in one bus or train.

FFS public authorities worldwide (especially city and transportation ones) seem mentally impaired impaired when handling this! All the wrong decisions. You either fully shut down transit or you increase the number of vehicles and do whatever possibly to accelerate transit and prevent waiting.

EDIT+: sorry for the somewhat offensive language, but I'm standing by it - I'm not offending anyone in particular and the public authorities doing this crap deserve it!

The CDC and FDA said no. "We felt like we were sitting, waiting for the pandemic to emerge," Chu told the Times. "We could help. We couldn't do anything." They held off for a couple of weeks, but on Feb. 25, Chu and her colleagues "began performing coronavirus tests, without government approval,"

I glanced over your LinkedIn profile, to me it looks like you need to add more 'modern' tech skills to your profile. It sucks, but the industry moves to new tech quickly and unless you are an enterprise Java developer, your skills get pretty much outdated in few years and you need to catch up at a fast pace.

I would learn (or highlight it if you already know) React.js and Node.js immediately, along with Postgres and MongoDB. That should get a good boost to the resume.

If you are going full stack, you would definitely need to put in AWS, especially micro services and serverless experience along with golang if possible. You can also learn Python if you want to try your hands on Machine learning as well, but I would recommend just focussing on React and Node.js as they are low hanging fruits and there are good enough openings for those two alone..

I have been in your shoes before and I know it could be overwhelming but you can do it.

Sharp edged words. High performance code only exists when you've developed experience from building low performance code.

I think a few explanatory notes and discussion of suitable alternative approaches is warranted but not a complete rewrite because its somehow wrong.

Each VM has its own quirks which produce their own opportunities. Why would this one be any different? Especially as a teaching instrument where it has to be simpler / clearer than a production codebase?

WOW. There is a sane country in Europe! Everyone else seems to either have swallowed their retard-pills, or they want to save costs and use this defective rationalization instead.
You know, you can make a (perfectly valid) point without being ableist.
Add to that the need for being able to explain that solution, which is something that the automated "pass the test" type screens can't assess.
I have to say that I was in the early stages of designing something similar. Although POS is complex by nature I think most of these systems are pretty static. I'm curious if you had feedback from potential customers and how you got to your pricepoint. Feel free to reach out ralph.das[]gmail

Thanks for the link.

So federal regulators (not Trump) told researchers not to test samples from a research study without the patients' permission?

Seems reasonable to me. They should have gotten permission from the participants instead of asking regulators to waive patient privacy.

American casualties at the beginning of WW2 were actually quite low as the US didn't enter the war until 1942 (WW2 began in 1939).
Then have more drivers and pay them a bit extra. Train drivers are mostly isolated in their cabins and not exposed to the people much anyway.
Some numbers from Italy:

- 48.5% of people who died had three or more other illnesses

- 25.6% of people who died had two other illnesses

- 25.1% of people who died had one other illness

- Overall, 99.2% of people who died had at least one other illness

- Average age of those that died was 79.5

Of the 2500 or so people that have died:

- only 17 people were under 50

- only 5 people were under 40 and all 5 had an existing serious illness

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying!
The important point of the Japanese mask-wearing custom is the reason why they are worn: To protect others from infection. That purpose doesn't need N95 protection.

The current US Airport situation was in the news here in Germany, but perhaps not in the US. It breaks with most distancing guidelines. People are much too close to each other (compared to the advised 1-2m distance), and shared the same room (and air) for many hours. What good is that whole measure if you practically guarantee that more infected people will enter the country afterwards?

My overall point was related to the dates of both posts. Yes, on paper both Japan and the US implemented similar-sounding measures at about the same time. But one has to look at the actual implementation.
It's the opposite of the right response!
Despite all these previous lies, the US press now reports “no new domestic coronavirus cases in China!” as if there is some reason to believe it’s true.
From the README file on the coronavirus-diary:

Coronavirus Diary is a mobile application that allows users to record their medical status, location, and activities to an encrypted vault on their device. If the user experiences symptoms in line with the disease, they will be prompted to contact their physician.

In the case that a user contracts the disease, they can release their historical data to a physician to aid in treatment, research, and containment effort.

While we do need some equipment, instead of treating the symptoms, we could lock ourselves down and avoid the surge.

We saw China stop the problem a month ago. South Korea seems to have stopped the problem with testing.

Buy ourselves a month so we can ramp up testing.

The US just past South Korea and France yesterday in covid-19 cases.

We have 9400 cases and 150 deaths.

By the way, China is reporting no new domestic cases.

Well I guess you can not go wrong with either React or Vue at this point as they have mature communities.

However I feel like while React is just fantastic on its corner, Svelte seems like a better built Vue than Vue. It lacks the community but technically feels like a refinement and enhancement of Vue’s ideas. I wish it would gain more traction.
I'm pretty sure OP meant, exclude them from going to the party.

Not exclude the statistic
Have you considered that they are taking this action to manage their diminishing staff levels? That's what the article says, after all.
That’s on the FDA more than the White House, though obviously that’s where the buck stops. The FDA being incompetent or obstructive during a pandemic seems less than ideal.

“The White House considered issuing an executive order greatly expanding the use of investigational drugs against the new coronavirus, but met with objections from Food and Drug Administration scientists who warned it could pose unneeded risks to patients, according to a senior government official.

The idea to expand testing of drugs and other medical therapies was strongly opposed by the FDA’s senior scientists this week, the official said, and represented the most notable conflict between the FDA and the White House in recent memory.”

This extends beyond the NSC pandemic response team, one would think the intelligence community would have some insights assuming the rebuilt their Chinese network after the CIA debacle in 2010. This wasn't a natural disaster like Maria or Katrina with limited forecasting, WHO was alerted to on Dec 31st.

E: Though TBH I think US would have waffled regardless, even their response to Ebola, Operation United Assistance, didn't materialize until the first US death on US soil. Things aren't real until they affect votes or undermine foreign policy interests.
this assumes that health care scales in the same way that an online retailer does, no?

the retraining nurses is somewhat of a point in the opposite direction -- the NHS has an easy pool to pull in because of the inefficiency. if all of the nurses were being used efficiently to begin with, there would not be an easy group to bring in.

scaling the number of doctors and nurses available takes a bit more time than hiring a bunch of people to put items in boxes
No, I'm not. Having internet and cellphones enables advertising and location tracking. Running water and electricity doesn't.
> A 2005 study of radical Jihadist forums found 87% of users had never posted on the forums, 13% had posted at least once, 5% had posted 50 or more times, and only 1% had posted 500 or more times.[5]

This struck me as a bit funny. I can imagine the 87% being the NSA, BND and other law enforcement watching the activity on the forum.

String keys to access types is kind of yucky, to be honest :( Couldn't there be a better way to represent this than having to look up the documentation (https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/$DataStructures.h...) to see what would work?
Please don't fuel this bad reasoning - decreasing the number of trains or lowering their speed is a dangerous measure that will increase transmission!

It's the same brand of broken-mindedness that brought us the "only sick people should wear masks" and other wrong-think measures that increase transmission and make everything worse!
I know. Examples can't always be close to the real world and there are really people writing that kind of code. I also think you can update a json field in a single statement in postgresql but I didn't check how. The syntax did working on jsons can be quite unwieldy.
I think I'd like to just write a native SQL query (past basic tables and joins there's always some platform specific quirk or optimization) and have a better way of mapping that to generic 'interfaces' (maps/dictionaries/whatever) or typed objects with members of specific types, and have the data correctly coerced to those types.

The biggest pain point nearly always also seems to involve time conversions that might or might not use default assumptions and environment variables which language examples almost never cover. Toss in specifying an encoding to handle the result as (or to disable) and I think that's what might make up a good DB interface specification for drivers to implement.
If only a few people, like three out of twenty million die from it, then their age doesn't matter.
I've loved Vue for a long time, worked two years with it almost daily, but right now I avoid it as much as I can, as I can't stand working with JavaScript without TypeScript. The TypeScript support in the current version of Vue is crap, and the simplest things, such as creating a (typed) component library, are hard and require numerous hacks.

If I were to use something that lacks TypeScript support, it would be Svelte, because it brings unique advantages. By adding hooks, React became the winner for me.

Angular has never been an option for me.
This guy is pretty clearly an outlier (or there is some missing information).

In Italy only 5 people under 40 have died, out of approx. 2500 deaths so far, and every one of the 5 had an existing serious illness.
Why tf would they diminish staff levels NOW?!

Train conductors are practically isolated from the passengers and quite safe.

They should increase their staff levels in these times!
There are several functions in base R for differentiation, integration, solving system of equations, etc. E.g. `solve`, `stats::D`, `stats::deriv`, `stats::integrate`, `stats::numericDeriv`.

R package Deriv for symbolic differentiation, it allows user to supply custom rules for differentiation.[1]

R package numDeriv[2] for calculating numerical approximations to derivatives.

R package gmp[3] and Rmpfr[4] provide multiple precision arithmetic and floating point operations. They also include some special functions, e.g. Rmpfr::integrateR for numerical integration.

R package mpc[5] available at R forge. It provides multiple precision arithmetic for complex numbers.

R package rSymPy[6] provides an interface to ‘SymPy’ library in python via rJava.

R package Ryacas[7] provides an interface to the ‘Yacas’ computer algebra system. It is easier to install compared to `rSymPy`.

R package symengine[8] is an R interface to the SymEngine C++ library for symbolic computation.

No, it's very narrow in what bans it would void; and even those can be reinstituted as soon as the President, Secretary of State, and Secretary of Homeland Security comply with the requirement that they address specific acts implicating a compelling government interest. Because the entire dispute is about Trump applying his decades long racial and religious animus to government policy, rather than the policy addressing a compelling state interest.

> This makes total sense, because of the assumption of common priors.

That's the Wiki article, yes. But scarejunba is going past that, to something more fundamental.

If you have "pure minds untainted by experience, tabula rasa", then you remove the issue of priors. No longer is there any matrix of prejudices that have to agree. You start with observations about the world and logic, and nothing else, and everyone ends up in agreement.

(To an extent you might bootstrap with priors, but over time you'd use observations and logic to replace them, especially when they disagree with someone else you're debating.)
Thanks for sharing that story.
I don't think it's at all possible to have something resembling a discourse on Twitter.
I'm not blaming team B for not knowing about it immediately, I'm blaming them for their shrugging response even after it's terribly obvious what's happened.

And you seem to say Team B is still utterly blameless, it's all Team A's fault.
Given that the trains are reported to be the largest sources of heat, the best solution in the long term will be new, more efficient trains.

New drivetrain technology is already far more efficient, producing less waste heat, than the decades-old stuff still being use on most London Underground lines.

In new trains, more powerful regenerative braking rather than friction braking will dramatically reduce heat produced from braking, for example. (It will mean less dirty air on the Underground, too!)
Looks cool. Currently only one machine which I have with zfs is NixOS, which has it own mechanism to handle such versioning, or do you see some advantages of using zfs approach?
If you're going to accuse someone of confounding infinite regression with infinite regression, you really need to give some explanation of the difference between infinite regression and infinite regression.
I'm working with both Ansible and Puppet for the last 6 years on a daily basis.
Ansible for:
- i absolutely love and adore Ansible
- extremely easy and much much much pleasant to read. Sometimes ansible feels like poetry to me.
- ad-hoc SysAdministration - I do not mean "ansible" command, but actual style of work when you need to do something right here and right now.
- prototyping, Dev and staging environments setup, experiments.

Puppet for a polished production.
Puppet has robust and stable ecosystems and infrastructure.
It is a client-server model from the beginning.
It is easier to create and put in the production library of all your puppet modules. It has hiera for central config values and secrets management.
At the same time, I hate the Puppet's resource relations.
Puppet's architecture feels like something developed in 1991, an ugly monster monolith and extremely heavy.

Terraform. For actual low-level infrastructure management. And I don't like to put whole high-level host configuration into IaaC!
IaaC has minimal host configuration capabilities. Set hostname, set IP, register with Puppet or call ansible - only a few lines in user-data or bash-script on boot, which then calls actual configuration management!

Gitlab-CI - switched from Jenkins. Concourse-ci looks extremely interesting! Also reviewing some GitOps frameworks.
Kubernetes - bare-metal runs self-made puppet-based pure k8s. Also, kops and EKS for AWS. Applications in k8s are managed via Helm.

Compared to Puppet Ansible is less enterprissy, it is more like a hipster tool.
I would like to replace the Puppet with Ansible.
But maybe I need the help from all of YOU who have voted for Ansible. How do you achieve Puppet's level of management with Ansible?
How do you achieve client-server setup with ansbile - somehow I do not see lot's of people using ansible-pull?
(Without using Tower!)
You create cronjob with ansible-pull on a node boot? :D
Or whole your ansible usage is limited to running ansible-playbook from your console manually? Ok maybe you sometimes put it in the last action of your CI/CD pipeline ;)
Nodes classification and review?
Central config values management for everything?

I use hashi Vault and lots of other things too.
Some questions are rhetoric. I've just expressed my mistrust in ansible which doesn't feel complete. :(

How to do you manage a fleet of 1000, 500 or even 200 hosts with ansible?
When after provisioning you need to review your fleet, count groups, list groups, check states.
Ah, you want to suggest Consul for that role? :)

Kubernetes for the win. It will replace config management diversity. It gives you node discovery, state review, and much much much more.

The zenlike state relates quite well to painting and why so many people still choose to paint/draw in this digital age. And all comes down to doing manual work I think. Some of us are more wired for it, others for different tasks. To me, when I paint it feels I was made for doing this and feels
i could do it 24/7 without getting bored. My rational self tempers this urge though.
I will catch it like everyone else obviously.

It probably will kill someone close to me like everyone else obviously.

I advocate for Tesla not having to fire everyone just because it's just a silly car factory.

What are you advocating for?

If people don't work, they will lay off all of them. This is a 12 month ordeal. Are you from somewhere where fired people have healthcare etc? Because I find that condescending.
I hope someone coughs on this mother fucker.
I'm going to raise eyebrows, but I don't believe in ego. I will always be fighting, because we are everyone and everything.

We are one universal consciousness, illusioned into multiple perspectives.

There is the same void between neurons than between each other... It is ontologically connected!

We have a responsibility to preserve the truth and its hypotheses, and to protect our fellows. Stress is a luxury.

Use this time to have people reflect. We need universal income, meat ban, befriending the Chinese, remote work, virtual classrooms at least for bullies and bullied, low-speed lightweight low-cost electric vehicles (maybe with a ban on SUV), more renewable energy, scientific cooperative conglomerate, destroy the anti-intellectualism, protect the low-intellect from a life of shaming, then stop over-production... There is a lot to do while people are bored home. I hope people here can suggest more things to do! It is time for change. Be brave
To me the difference is that Svelte is a lot more pure JavaScript than Vue. I haven't had the chance to use it in any larger project, but in my small playgrounds, I've definitely enjoyed it more than Vue.
I looked at Vue.js and came away with the impression that it requires me to learn a lot of framework-specific implementation details. For instance, a list requires that you know the v-for directive, while in React it's just JavaScript's Array::map().

Couldn't see the value there.
Need both I’m afraid

Cases are irelevent - that’s a function of how widespread the tests are. Do more tests, find more cases. Test people with symptoms find more cases. Allow anyone to take a test find less symptoms.
