I'm not sure what you are claiming.

This article would imply that Italy was coming closer to saturation on hospitals before this virus. Not claiming that this virus wasn't worse. The implication is they were closing to a topping point than elsewhere.

It does fit, in that so far Italy is the outlier, not anyone else. Japan, in particular, but also Norway, Germany, and most of the US.

I think Spain throws a but of a wrench at this, but don't have that looked at handily.

In defense of the author, to me that photo does indeed look like something straight out of a H.P. Lovecraft story.
If you think it's bad in React (and I agree that this can be a pain point at times - although actually long lists are a weak point of the web platform in general), definitely don't try Polymer!

A colleague of mine went with Polymer for a prototype (against my advice), and switched to Angular within 2 weeks because the performance of Polymer was so bad. I think the web-component approach is inherently inefficient for large apps, because you can't batch DOM reads and write like the other frameworks do.

Were you using CSS modules with your SASS? I've found a few base styles in global SASS along with scoped styles in CSS (SASS) modules works pretty well for keeping things simple.
How many people are realistically saying that? Most people are saying, let doctors experiment with what might work and don't stand in their way. Which they already have been doing anyhow with various other drugs. No one (at least not 99.99% of people) are saying go out and buy a drug and pop it to see if it saves you.

There are plenty of drugs with a narrow therapeutic index (NTIs or NTIDs), some of which are available over the counter. Some extremely popular ones: lithium, valproic acid, acetaminophen, almost all anticoagulants (warfarin/heparin), almost all of the -mycin antibiotics (and a lot of other antibiotics), all of the tricylic antidepressants.

The problem with a lot of self-hosted services isn't the initial configuration but the maintenance and monitoring.

This tutorial explains how to install it, that's fine - that was never the problem. How do you keep it up to date? How do you get alerted of newly uncovered vulnerabilities so you can patch before you get compromised? How do you monitor it so you know if someone's got root on the box and is silently listening into your calls?

Regarding Jitsi Meet specifically, I looked at the code thinking I could use it and the whole thing kinda left a sour taste in my mouth. Why does it need an XMPP server? How am I supposed to configure the permissions on them so it doesn't get pwned or starts being used by uninvited guests for nasty conversations without my knowledge? Etc... the attack surface also seems huge.
I think if you want to criticize somebody for saying something, they should have at least actually said it.

In medicine, bad is the enemy of good. Improperly studied medicine rushed into a clinical setting can make things worse and are perfectly capable of making things worse on a grand scale, regardless of how terrible people's understanding of statistics and variance are.

Doctors have the authority in many countries to prescribe it off label based on their own review of the evidence and their patient's consent. That's the best we can do right now without risking something much worse.
> No, a loss of a single APC is a miraculously low number for just any armour on armour battle imaginable.

This is true

> Even a WWII era armoured force would've been able to inflict higher losses than Iraqi army of the Gulf War period.

This isn't. The gun on the T55 tank used by the Iraqis couldn't penetrate the armour of a M1 Abrams. No WWII tank was anywhere near as well gunned as a T55.

The Iraqi army in Gulf War 1 was actually pretty good. They were well armed and experienced (they'd fought the Iran/Iraq war). Airpower was the big difference though.
I think it's a stretch to pin this particular death on Trump. He never suggested or advised people self-medicate prescription drugs. This was just a scared uneducated couple that made a terrible mistake.
Sorry for the dumb questions, I was just trying to understand the precise architecture and solution here.

So the "local application that generates static files" is the one used by employees of the restaurant when a customer makes an order? Or is that used just for maintenance purposes when changing formats of the orders customers can do. But what I was confused most about was what "polls for orders" meant in this context.

The other thing I was confused about was the generation of "static files for customer ordering". So the application generates these files, which are presumably an html form (and/or corresponding PHP script) and uploads them to the server. And the server's html static pages that are used to order are accessed either locally on the box itself or through another computer on the local network connection (since you mentioned that it can run even when internet is down). Is my understanding correct?

Only those shopping malls and cinema chains that get you to sign up for something and get your info and have tracking capability. What do you think AMC Stubs A-List program is about?

Apple is worse than AMC or shopping malls since they have much more identifiable data on you ( even more than google in many respects ) and use that to sell you. Not just your data but recommendations/etc.

Apple sells you in the same way google/facebook/microsoft/etc sells you. Collectively and individually.

In the past shopping malls and cinemas used to sell you collectively to retail stores and movie studios. Now many of them can sell you individually to retail stores and movie studios. Something really has gone wrong when there is support for Apple on a tech forum. Usually apple just preys upon non-tech people who like overpriced shiny things. It's strange the amount of "support" apple and microsoft gets nowadays.

That's very much been the theme of 2019 and 2020. 2019 really only saw the introduction of async/await as a new language feature. Almost all other additions were smaller things, like "this feature expanded a bit" or "this edge case is no longer an edge case." There was only one instance of something straight-up replacing the old thing; mem::uninitialized by MaybeUninit.
Hard to understand your point. It seems quite obvious to me that you can't shut down the world economy for any length of time without introducing enormous amounts of collateral damage (i.e. deaths).

Lisp programs don't modify themselves. Macros are expanded until no macros remain, and that's that. Any modification to a running Lisp program is done by people, who hack on code and load new versions of it (old functions and other entities replaced by new).

If you do write a program that actually generates code (e.g. genetic programming), Lisps are perfect for that, though; but that's a different activity from macro expansion.
I can't understand why he's tweeting this as if the CDC and doctors and so on aren't already considering those drugs as a treatment option. Many of the responses to the tweet have a tin-foil-hat kinda feel to them. Who exactly do they think is suppressing usage of these drugs? And why?

I saw this paper [1] on Twitter today. At number 5 in the list of top-scoring chemicals that disrupt the virus's behaviour (PDF p11) is quercetin, which is apparently found in capers [2] and readily cleared for use as a supplement. While no one should be self-medicating with this sort of thing unless they know exactly what they're doing, it seems to me like this sort of chemical could show promise as a therapeutic treatment prescribed by medical professionals while we wait for a vaccine (I am NOT an expert, assess the reliability of the literature, caveat emptor, etc.).

How are System76 trackpads these days? I bought one of their laptops five years ago and the trackpad was near unusable, the cursor jumped all over the place.
My company was expecting some money to come this year – like they always do every year – to keep operating. Except this year money kept getting delayed until it never came. They have literally fired all engineers so the company can keep alive and operate until they find ways to get government or other types of money/assistance.

Not like they did this on purpose, but it was related to this epidemy.

Very sad.

For hydroxychloroquine, Wikipedia has the following summary, with citation (and figures confirmed in the abstract):

> The therapeutic, toxic and lethal ranges are usually considered to be 0.03 to 15 mg/l, 3.0 to 26 mg/l and 20 to 104 mg/l, respectively. However, nontoxic cases have been reported up to 39 mg/l, suggesting individual tolerance to this agent may be more variable than previously recognised.

For chloroquine, it just says it is "known to be small" (with citation, though I can't see the full PDF to see what "small" means).

Ah, I had forgotten about the T-64 since it was never exported. Looks like it entered service with the GSFG in 1976 after development started in 1967. So the Strv 103 preceded it by just a few years. For the Soviets, the T-64 was quite an expensive tank.

Linux kernel/bpf is getting nervous.

joking aside (and sorry for going off on this tangent) under Linux it seems the kernel is eating more of user-space every year. That argument could of course be also turned around by claiming that user-space is eating the kernel. which ever way you look at - systems programming has gotten much more challenging (interesting) in the past years.

Zelos.gg (YC W20) | Los Angeles, and REMOTE USA/CANADA | Frontend / Fullstack | https://zelos.gg

Zelos is a rewards program where gamers earn points and redeem in-game prizes across multiple games. When you play your favorite game, simply finish a challenge (e.g. get 3 kills) to earn points and trade in your points for a prize (e.g. a new game or a skin).

We built Zelos because games today focus on monetizing off their most dedicated players (whales). For gamers like us who play multiple games, spending money in each game quickly becomes expensive. When we move to a new game, all the money we spent in the old game is effectively lost.

So we built Zelos for the 55% of gamers who play 2 or more games and they LOVE us. Having launched only 2 months ago, we already have 50K+ weekly active users across 30+ countries.

Zelos graduated from YC W20 and just closed a heavily oversubscribed seed round. We are only a team of 3 and you will be our first frontend/fullstack hire. As such, you can expect great responsibilities, huge opportunities to learn & grow, and of course significant equity.

Being a gaming company, we have a very laid-back and open culture where people care about having fun as much as doing great work. You would be a great fit here if you enjoy playing games and building things.

If you are interested, please email us directly at founders@zelos.gg and tell us more about yourself.
