Next article in the series: now that you know about the dangerous/complicated primitives, don't ever touch them again. Instead use the high-level safe concurrency/parallelism mechanisms in your programming language: futures/promises, nurseries, channels, observers, actors, monitors. Ideally, these should be built-in, but a library whose API composes well into most programs will also do.

It’s a narrow band excluding the young and oldest so, the average is older but the maximum is younger. With a very sharp decline in their 80’s, which is when things really get bad.

Considering how quickly the numbers get worse with age and ill heath many countries are at higher risk.
You could say the same thing about airlines, but no one is arguing about whether airlines are a necessary component of the economy.

I don't support a bailout for cruise lines, but I also don't support a bailout for airlines or any industry.

This pandemic crisis is being exploited on all fronts, and the first thing that everyone is going for is money. There is a lot of FUD being spread around as cause to bailout special interests, and that's a short term solution for a long term problem. It will only make things worse and more difficult in the end to correct the current problems at hand.

The focus shouldn't be on where to be spending money right now. The focus should be on developing proper procedures that at best prevents the next pandemic or at worst controls and minimizes its effect.
Depends on how you define modern, but I've been at a lan party in which people played games such as Left4Dead 2, Call of Duty 4, World in Conflict.
That doesn't seem abnormal? The majority of cases don't need hospitalisation. Some countries have hospitalised most cases while numbers are small, but mostly as a precaution, and they'll be kicked out once numbers rise. I thought that was fairly well known.
All the more reason not to bail them out. Let the market do its thing.

This is often quoted and misleading. It doesn’t emit a million times more pollution than a car across the board, it emits a million times more sulphur oxide than a car.

Now sulphur oxide is nasty stuff, and regulated out of vehicle emissions for good reason. Fuel conditioning and catalytic convertors take care of this. But those things add cost, and why would a cruise ship company do it if they are not compelled legally and their customers don’t mind?

I don’t feel bad for giving my friends who go on cruises a hard time over this. Most will say they simply do not care about the environment. They are not immediately threatening their own immediate habitat. These are the people who go on cruises. The fact that the cruise industry exists is a sad mark on humanity.

(Legal) Tech Teams Should Survive Even as the Economy Slows
As someone who spent a great deal of my life living and working in a tourism economy I am not shedding a single tear over cruise ships undercutting local providers of food/shelter.

With traditional brick'n'mortar tourism the people who fleece the tourists make bank. Then the people who fleece the people who fleece the tourists take their cut. The landlord, the plumber, the garbage collection company, everything including even the municipal government basically charges what the market will bear in order to get their slice of the pie.

Cruise ships piss off everyone who isn't running a tourist trap, T-shirt shop or cafe because they handle all the supporting industry so the people who normally fleece the people who fleece the tourists don't get their cut because the tourists don't have to stay in a hotel, visit a liquor store, etc, etc. in order to visit the beaches, the cafe's the shops, etc. because the cruise ship handles that.
Related but off-topic question:

Does anyone know how long coronavirus is known to last (even rough estimates) on dry/wet surfaces at cold/room temperatures?

The practical consideration here is, if I buy something from (say) a supermarket, and (say) someone infected had sneezed on it that day, how long and in what manner would it be helpful for me to leave it outside/in the fridge/etc. to help prevent transmission of the virus? For refrigerated or frozen goods, how much should I expect this duration to be affected?
I can absorb the cut -- but it is going to be revisited again soon and I do not know what that will bring. I am not actively looking for another job because in all honesty,I doubt I would find a more attractive one and the need to seek cuts is not unique to my employer so I have no reason to believe it would be better elsewhere.
I don't know much about this, but I assume the advances in renewables and carbon neutral ships is driven mostly by regulation aimed to reduce pollution. Can we really give the cruise companies a lot of credit for that?

> The demand for cruises is not going to go away.

Good, then there will still be cruise ships after the industry felt the consequences, and perhaps they will have learned something.
Other threads debate the merits of cruises and/or bailouts, but this specific idea has a unique challenge: there may not be a viable market for cruises until COVID is at least treatable, if not preventable. The CDC’s guidance is to “defer all cruise travel worldwide”[1] and that may not change until treatment exists - particularly for those over 50-60. 51% of 2019 passengers were over 50[2].

Cruise ships manage to contain norovirus[3], but we’ve seen how different the consequences are when NCoV is present on a cruise ship.

Eh... _kind of_. It was abolished in such a way that in practice it kept more or less functioning for a very long time afterwards.
The virus has a very limited lifespan on surfaces like cardboard [1][2]. On cardboard it is able to remain infectious for up to 24h. On plastics and stainless steel its much longer, but as you said, the product was packed months earlier.

You're probably taking the biggest risk when accepting the package in person. Here in Germany, you can allow delivery services to drop off the package on a specified location to avoid contact with the delivery man. No need to sign anything anymore. Pretty sure there are similar options around the world.

I have a Lenovo X1 Yoga (7th), the new Dell XPS 13 and a X1 Carbon.

My preferred one is X1 Carbon with FHD display which saves battery, it's also pretty lighter and thinner than the X1 Yoga. If you like touch screens and embedded pen, I'd go with the Yoga, still better than XPS13 for me.

Reasons? Better ports (HDMI, USB3.0) and better keyboard (yes, you can switch the Fn and the CTRL keys, it's a BIOS option).

Pros of Choosing AngularJS Technology
For some people I think this is just a normal response to respiratory viruses. My ex would swear she lost her sense of smell (and taste) whenever she had a cold.

This is not something I can recall experiencing, though. If anything, my sense of smell seems enhanced when I'm sick. Strong smells often seem more intense and make me feel worse, even smells that normally wouldn't bother me much.

We started using BigBlueButton at the the University. I tried to teach and there is nothing in it that is specifically lecture focused, but if you just use it as videoconferencing tool with all microphones muted, it does the job for a one-way communication tool. Once students start asking questions it is too limited. The chat clutters soon, the option for raising hands or changing status is useless with large groups. I'd say that the whole interface is useful only for smaller groups up to 10 persons, definitely not above 100 persons.

I have not tried Zoom or Jitsi Meet in such settings and can't compare. They both have some useful options and slightly more options than Big Blue Button (like the Youtube streaming in Jitsi Meet that will save bandwidth).

I have written small js/html tools on my iPhone with help of a Bluetooth keyboard. No PHP though as iOS doesn't allow code execution environments except for the browser.
In my experience the biggest drawback on these kinds of setups is the small screensize (I strongly prefer coding with three giant displays), and this limitation cannot easily be overcome while keeping the device tiny. I'm looking forward to the Lenovo X1 Fold though to see if this reduces the pain a bit. And I love my Asus ZenScreen as a second-screen solution that easily fits in my backpack.

The problem is the disease is mostly killing off the least heathy. Exclude only 5% of the population and deaths might easily drop by 1+%. Further the Dimond Princess was evacuated specifically because they could not contain the spread.

Kogene Biotech Applies for Covid-19 Kit EUA After U.S. FDA Request
Yeah, and this exactly where TFA misses the scary implications of modern transformations: we're in an age where it's cheap and easy to both deliver weapons by drones (so regular army divisions ca "wash their hands" of what the "special weapons" guys do, while still enjoying the befits of their deployment weakening the enemy), and to blame them on third party real or imaginary terrorist orgs.

Remote and automated warfare, coupled with more and more controlled/closed borders (we'll have these after COVID + economic crises) lowers the perceived cost and increases the benefits of using chem and bio weapons. Paradoxically, the better you'll be "prepared for a pandemic virus", the more in-control and confident you'll feel about indirectly using such weapons.

That's why we have to keep the world open and connected! And don't do the stupid thing of over-investing in surveillance and control that will only create dangerous illusions of being able to "safely" play with such "toys"!

Ok.
Ansible is not idempotent, unless you implement that idempotency yourself in its awkward little YAML ecosystem.

Example: V1 of a playbook installs htop. V2 doesn't. Now, a machine that went through V1 then V2 has a different state than a machine that just went through V2. Of course, you can make V2 explicitly uninstall htop - but that's a hack, and while it's easy for this particular example it sucks for real life problems. And even if you implement explicit 'clean up after previous versions', then you have to manage those as well, figure out how long to keep them, make sure they don't have side effects on other machines (maybe something else installed htop and actually needs it?), etc.

If you want idempotency, try NixOS.

We have a moral obligation to be precautious during the Covid-19 pandemic
This isn't true, specifically of places like Venice, where they are actively trying to curtail cruise ship traffic.
I went on a Caribbean cruise once (the trip was bought for me, I would never have paid for it). The thing I found most striking was the same-ness of every stop. We stopped in Jamaica, but it felt the same as every single other stop: Busy "shopping area" right near the cruise terminal, with many of the exact same stores as the last stop. A variety of the same tired cruise-approved "activities" ("touch a dolphin", "ride a zipline through the forest", "snorkel adventure!") available with just a 1-2 hour cramped bus ride. And, in my experience, not enough time at each stop to actually see much or any of the place we'd landed. The boat stopped in Belize, so I guess I can stick that pin up on my big world-map. Except the "island" we stopped at was wholly-owned by the cruise line and we were only there for four hours, so we mostly gained the experience of buying the same overpriced drinks they had available on the boat, but out of a coconut.

I disagree that cruises are an effective way to visit a place at all, let alone on a low footprint.
YouTube Learning
Paper press and TV did really well for decades. Sure, once targeted advertising came around, everyone jumped onto it and non-targeted advertising started to fall.
