Italy is a very elderly population. If, as seems to be the case, death rate ramps up dramatically over 70 and especially over 80, then this may explain part of it (though clearly testing in Germany and SK has been more effective than in Italy, too).

>Censorship is when the someone with power forces you to refrain from saying something - not just in a particular forum, but in any effective way.

Choosing what not to say based on a fear of the consequences of that speech means that society, or whatever group you're communicating with, has exercised some form of influence or social authority over your speech, which is censorship. The oft-expressed axiom that "The right to swing my arms in any direction ends where your nose begins" is censorship. Who are you, or anyone, to say where my rights begin and end?

>This place tells you "if you want to spread certain ideas on the internet from the comfort of your chair, consider twitter or wordpress". Censorship is when the government tells you "if you want to to spread certain ideas on the internet from the comfort of your chair, please consider the gulag or child porn charges".

And the consensus on Hacker News seems to be that those are perfectly equivalent, that a platform rejecting certain kinds of speech or users being told what sort of speech is acceptable and what isn't inevitably leads to Orwellian fascism. Terms of service and codes of conduct are routinely considered censorship. Amazon banning the sale of Mein Kampf is censorship. Twitter banning anyone for any reason is censorship. Youtube not showing extremist videos in recommendations is censorship. Why is there suddenly a grey area where there never was before?

>Diluting words of meaning doesn't help maintain free speech. It helps destroy it. If we don't know what free speech is, we can't defend it.

Attempting to "thought police" the meaning of words in such a prescriptivist manner is censorship. Who are you to say what words mean? When I use a word, it means precisely what I intend it to mean, no more, no less.

Government censorship is one form of censorship... and the only form of censorship relevant to the first amendment, but "censorship" itself is a much broader and more complex phenomenon.

Europe maybe not, but places like Honduras would be worse off without them.

The industry and shipyards are advancing technology in ways that other industries do not. New ships use LNG, batteries and renewables. A carbon neutral cruise ship is not too far away.

I had a Pro X (arm) for about a week and I tried to get Linux on it ASAP after all the issues, even then it was flaky at best, running VIM on Windows is usually a hard sell even if you are running the Windows Subsystem for Linux and you spend the hours of getting to where you like it, only to find glitches after glitches... only if the thinkpad came in 16:9 :) I have an older one and it’s horrid only after an hour...

Just to quantify your first sentence, one single cruise ship emits the same amount of pollution as 1 million cars [0]. And, one cruise line emits more pollution every year than ALL the cars in Europe [1]. They should not just be allowed to go bust; they should be forced out of business.

Most ordinary people don’t have the luxury of a house with a pantry. And many people can only afford what they need each week so can’t stock up even if they had somewhere to store it.

In that case why the need for a bailout? If they are viable businesses either as is or after reorganization in bankruptcy, then what’s the issue that needs solving by the government? That the very rich owners and lenders lost money and wish they hadn’t?
Looking for the same thing made me actually jealous of my tiny friend. She's maybe 5"1 90lbs. Her small hands comfortably handle smaller keyboards and phones while my fat meat sticks constantly mash the wrong letters. Same with laptops. We got these little Chromebooks for data entry at a co-op job and it was just hell for me. Before then I really hadn't thought about the inadequacy of "one size fits all" technology.
Astronaut about to escape from Earth into space: “Good luck to everyone”
What I get is "Svelte is Unappealing" because the compiled code doesn't look like my code. If you minimize JS in general, it doesn't look like your code. SourceMaps are provided for this purpose.

Unappealing because of the approach taken for compilation is not a good reason for me not to recommend Svelte. I will recommend Svelte or any library that helps cut down on the cognitive overload on trying to get your application up and running and provides a multitude a ways to debug state.

The API surface of Svelte is very tiny allowing you to do what you need to do without running into limitation. I've never had to complain about Svelte not exposing something, but sure have for React. API on React has changed multiple times causing modest rewrites of components. I have found the debugger with Svelte's @debug marker very helpful during development.

I'm glad I can use components compiled with Svelte in any application without bringing in a whole runtime and vice versa. It makes sharing natural and much easier than React, Angular, etc.. I dislike any frameworks (front and backend) that shut the door on previous work and make you conform to that world. Countless times I have questioned why do I need to build a component that implements pre-react work in React in order to use it in a React application. I should be able to bring in any library that works on the web today and use it without having it conform to "The Framework". I haven't had this trouble with Svelte.

I can agree that Svelte is early and there will be offspring that will likely leap frog and build on the ideas of Svelte.
Paracetamol (acetaminophen/Tylenol) is not an NSAID, is not an anti-inflammatory and there's no evidence that it has any negative effect on outcomes. You're mixing it up with ibuprofen (Advil), which is an NSAID and may result in worse outcomes.

The current medical advice is take paracetamol, but not ibuprofen. https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/paracetamol-for-adults/

It helps to understand what you're talking about before writing in such an authoratitive tone.
This is one of the reasons Svelte is much faster than React.

Possibly an unpopular opinion here on HN, but if the framework is actually making a difference to the speed of your app then you've probably made some horrible mistakes in your part of the code. React apps aren't slow because of React. Vue apps aren't slow because of Vue. Svelte apps aren't slow because of Svelte. And so on. Framework developers work hard not to get in the way, and they do a damn good job. If your app is slow then it's very likely to be your own fault. There are React apps out there that handle tens of thousands of DOM elements at once at a solid 60fps. React doesn't automatically mean slow at scale. Likewise I could write a Svelte app that's struggles along at 5fps. Svelte doesn't automatically mean fast.

There are edge cases where an app is really pushing what the browser can do, and that's where the choice of framework really makes a difference. In those cases which framework is the right choice depends on the app - it's not simply a case that X is always better than Y. If you're updating tons of DOM elements then Svelte is a good choice. If you have lots of DOM elements but you're only updating a few then React (or any virtual DOM based framework) probably works better. But if your app is a glorified To Do list as so many really are, there's no excuse for it to be slow in any framework.

While age is probably a factor in Italy, it's less of a factor in China, Iran and Spain, which also have high death rates (though the Chinese high death rate was mostly in the early stages). What these cases have in common is a very large surge which overwhelmed local health services.

If it was entirely based on age, you'd expect higher rates of death in Japan and Germany (both very elderly populations), lower in China (less elderly population) and much lower in Iran (young population).
I spent a number of hours coding in and around Berlin parks with my trusty Acer 1810TZ (11.2", ca. 2010). It was portable, and compact, but it wasn't too convenient with the 1366x768 resolution and the tight keyboard does cause an extra typo or two here and then, but it got the job done.

Because that was a tad too small, I then went for a 17" workstation, which turned out to be a little bit too big.

So now I've settled on a 15.6" Asus FX-505. Love the design and hardware, hate having to use Windows 10. Not quite ready to make the jump to Linux, yet.

Overall, I settled for one device compromising size, comfort and portability. I think I could go for a 13-14" device, if I wanted more portability, but 11" is just about the limit for comfortable coding, IMHO.
> The long term support story of AWS is also great

I agree in general, but specific services can be a problem. New server images have broken my apps, waiting for AWS to update support for languages or RDBMS can be painful, documentation is generally confusing (mostly because there are 10 ways to do every simple thing), and I bump into bugs regularly.
Apart theoretically smaller bundle size, how is Svelte different from Vue? How would you compare them?

Quick Start: Setting Up Your Covid-19 Health Bot
I was using an ancient Acer Aspire One for years. The thing was gutless, so I had to customize the linux installation heavily to be able to do things like run my app's build script and chrome at the same time.

These days I'd probably use it as a terminal for an AWS workspace instead.

These new touch-screen tablet/PCs with a detachable keyboard, plus a virtual remote server, may be the future for this kind of thing.

It's more like the bilge is a central place where any fluid that leaks out of whatever system normally handles it winds up. On small vessels you just have a straight bilge pump that dumps out the side. At cruise ship scale you can afford to stick an oil/water separator filter on it.
There is alot of negativity towards PR in Singapore because Citizens often feel that PR get too many benefits that they never feel the need or want to give up their own citizenship in favor of Singapore citizenship.

Given how often cruise ships end up spreading infections between passengers, it's odd how popular they are with the elderly. Not only are they increasing their odds of catching something, the medical facilities on the ship and many of the ports of call are inferior to what's available in most average sized cities back home.
Call me maybe – an explanations of Python callables
While we're brainstorming and day dreaming about ideal tiny rigs, has anybody ever heard of a good paperwhite/e-ink screen for programming? Imagine an e-ink tablet that only had a terminal emulator. Plug a keyboard into it, ssh to your workstation, save your eyes the strain of a bright screen. I've seen e-inks with an additional red color, but imagine if you could get just a handful of colors. I would read my code in light-themes for the first time ever.
I think you're being a bit naive. All the ships will still exist. All that will happen is that investors will snap up the ships and 'brands' at bargain prices, set up new cruise companies and the ships will be back in business in a matter of a few months, probably with the same crews and the same company names. The only thing that will change is the ownership.

I've written a linux kernel filter that let's you do blocking for this exact case few weeks ago. no performance overhead since it uses the NFQUEUE/NFNETLINK kernel subsystems.

Why are you recreate CGI? over nginx?
The Surface Go is an amazing device for work on the... go, but the ergonomics of the display and cramped keyboard make it suboptimal for any longer period of time (be it a coffee shop, your bed or anything like that).

If you plan to work only at your desk, where you connect it to an external display (USB-C, ideally, to get both power and video) and external keyboard and only use it as a tablet otherwise, then sure, it would work well. But using it as a standalone machine would be rather inconvenient.

STDIN/STDOUT and header at environment variables is definitely CGI.
Is this an actual capacity issue or a case of 'China is big' though? Without knowing more context my instinct would be to assume that, all things being equal, China's population size simply allows it to generate demand at a much greater scale than America can generate supply.

Especially when, depending on your demographic, you're probably visiting America either for college, tourism, or birth tourism. None of these three situations are things that could easily be outsourced to Europe or bulk produced somewhere cheaper because they are largely cultural products of America.
This also applies to e.g CI systems, that are able to send build success/fails emails to the emails in the commits instead of the default GitHub/GitLab email.

Also, some people prefer to not disclose their employer on GitHub hobby projects (or at all on the web). Simiarly, your employer doesn't necessarily need to know about every hobby project you start (as long as you're not violating work-contract clauses).
The X.org one is only technically RCE in practice as you need an authenticated connection to the X server. It is really more of a local privilege escalation for the case where the X server is running as root.
Mortality _always_ falls at this time of year. As you can clearly see on the chart.

From your own link:

> Pooled estimates of all-cause mortality show normal expected levels of mortality in the participating countries.

The issue isn't that COVID is killing a lot of people right now on a continental level; in the scheme of things it's a statistical blip. The issue is the _potential_ deaths if it gets broadly out of control. If all Europe had rates similar to Northern Italy, this graph would look very, very different.
nginx is not for CGI that's why no result showed.
CGI was popular at 1990-early 2000.
Even apm(apache php mysql) relied on CGI between apache and php.
Do you have anyone to speak with about this?
This was the same thought I had about Vue when I first used it.

I knew vanilla javascript - Vue is vanilla javascript.
I knew HTML and CSS - Vue's component-based approach looks exactly like HTML.

It didn't take more than 20 minutes to get some code running using Vue and it made me significantly faster.

Then I stumbled upon Svelte and after using it for a day, I asserted it won't make me much faster and I'd have to learn yet another tool.

That's why I stuck with Vue, and then I discovered Vuetify and Nuxt, awesome tools that made my life even easier. I really can't draw a parallel between Svelte and Vue in terms of "better", so I started using my subjective feeling to justify my decision of going with a tool.

Subjectively speaking, I don't like Svelte. I don't have a solid, objective reason except this one: I really don't want to abandon 3 years of work I've put into projects that are based on Vue and TypeScript and go with Svelte without obvious gains.

There's nothing so different that it'd justify yet another downtime in order to swap the toolset so I can satisfy my peers online who approve or disapprove my choice of tooling.
"That 87% figure sounds worse than the control but it actually is better than in the French study."

This is a moot point, because the French study was not a randomized control trial, on 6 people, at different stages of the disease from this study.
That, and it's kind of frowned upon internationally thus exposing people wielding these weapons to the possibility of ending up in a court room some day. Ali Chemicali was eventually executed.

The Gemini might be better for dedicated programming. It's cheaper, and the Cosmo Communicator has terrible stand-by battery life (although usage doesn't significantly affect life). You would miss out on the light-up keyboard, though.
My answer: so that other people can actually work with the scripts you write.

Some DSLs are definitely a waste of time (hello Jenkins!), but in the anecdotal experience of myself and literally everyone I’ve talked to, Ansible is massively easier to learn than Bash. I’ve had junior devs (who don’t even know Python!) writing and maintaining useful tasks within minutes, and that’s not even an exaggeration.

Shell scripts, IME, work great until you need a certain amount of logic, and then they become a collapsing Death Star of edge cases and tribal-knowledge pitfalls.
Recreate same thing without knowing cgi is awesome.

The article guarantees that by:

- requiring a user to be set

- not having one filled in the global settings

The upside is that even if the folder is moved, the user config still applies. The downside is that you have to set it per repository (but only once).

There are pros and cons, but I don't see one being any better or worse than the other in absolute terms.

Further, these people got world class care from experts and whatever minimal care an overworked heath system could provide.

Given all that they still had 9 deaths out of 712 infected with many still in critical condition.

One useful "sanity check" for countries under testing is to check the records of imported cases from countries doing rigorous contact tracing and publishing their data. So far, Singapore has 2 confirmed cases arising from Japanese travellers and Taiwan has 1:

https://www.againstcovid19.com/singapore/dashboard
https://www.againstcovid19.com/taiwan/dashboard

This is vs the ~110 British cases and ~50 American cases the two countries have seen collectively.

Flight volume from Japan to both countries is normally quite substantial so this is evidence to suggest that Japan's case is not low solely due to undertesting.
