Clojure is my favourite language to work in, although I only had the opportunity to use it professionally for 6 months. It gives me an overwhelming feeling of quality, forethought, and careful design. So does most of its surrounding ecosystem.

I feel a similar way about Python too though.

<pre> is for preformatted text such that whitespace characters in it including tabs are preserved, whereas it's collapsed/whitespace-normalized at other places. <code> is for semantically denoting a span or block as "programming language code", which might or might not have whitespace characters preserved. You typically use <code><pre>...</pre></code> for a code block, and just <code>...</code> for an inline code span.

They have a good point about missing data, but they're glossing over the fact the fatality rate goes up drastically if the medical system fails.

I 100% agree that we should be running antibody tests to see how many people have caught COVID-19 and recovered. All of our testing until recently was based on RNA tests, which may only be positive during a relatively short window. (I saw a case study claiming that even some hospitalized patients are testing negative inside 7 days.) We need to know how many people catch this and beat it quickly.

That said, even in populations that have been RNA-tested early and extensively (such as the Diamond Princess and South Korea), the number of completely asymptomatic cases is less than 50%. Using the most optimistic data, I personally have less than a 0.5% chance of dying assuming I get all the medical care I need.

And that's the problem. This virus hospitalizes about 20% of identified cases. They require some supplemental oxygen, and maybe an IV. With good care, probably less than 1% die.

So there are really two key fatality rates:

1. How many people die if they get all the care they need, and

2. How many people die if 30+% of the population catches this at the same time?

Even if we're overestimating (1) by a factor of 10, that's still enough to make (2) catastrophic. What happened in Wuhan and Lombardy can happen here, and there's absolutely no reason that it couldn't get 10x worse. Even if we're overestimating the disease.

So let's start testing aggressively for antibodies. Until we get that number, I'm all for extreme caution.
The US alone could concievably see over 1 million deaths before the end of April:

https://joindiaspora.com/posts/6b0f5a00507f013830be002590d8e...

The specific number based on a projection from 11 days' data on March 6 would exceed all deaths in all wars in all US history.

The deaths projection specifically has run high (by about six days), though case counts remain surprisingly consistent with reported data. There are plenty of reasons to be cautious about the data and trends. And there's no necessary reason this possibility must come to pass.

But if the US continues down the path it's chosen to date, that is what is in store.

3D printing becomes more viable as people use it. Right now it is pretty niche, but many groups are doing it on an industrial scale.

If every household or building

The difference between where 3D printing and injection molding technology is right now is that 3D printers have scaled down in size and cost to the point of consumers being regular folks.

As for right now, 3D printing can help but it won’t be the savior of mankind.

Re: "reflecting back". Of course. This is not my first rodeo. The very purpose of stating beliefs and making predictions is to use them to refine perspective.

Thank you for the links. Listening to them reminds me of my interaction with similar thoughts.

I was in a startup accelerator near the end of last year and many of the business ideas that some of my teams came up with were data oriented and how it could be better gathered or used for good purposes. Or for profit and control. For example measuring people's location, driving speed and brake force to give discounts for car insurance. We found out that some companies do this already, and others are asking for it. And that was not even in an emergency context.

From another viewpoint, the more data we get, the more sensitive we will get for the "crises", or we can define simpler things as "crises" anyway. And that will demand more data gathering. If we allow using data to stop Coronavirus for example, we can call "the flu" as something to tackle, if only we had more information about the people. Why not the cold, too, after the flu?

I feel that it is inevitable.
So, I tried reading quite a bit of the comments, and the whole article before commenting.

I might have misunderstood the wording:

"4C Air confirmed all the proposed treatments have killed corona viruses. Labs have no way to test COVID-19 directly and as an accepted protocol, E. Coli is used for testing."

I understood this as: There has been no testing using corona viruses (because there's no way to do so currently?), but instead they're benchmarking with E. coli.(because this has some sort of similar attributes)

But what it's saying is(?): Testing has been done on E.coli AND corona viruses, but there's no standardized protocol for corona viruses, which is why they're focusing on the E.coli aspect.

Please do not assume malintent, even though I know these are stressful times, and we'd do well to let important information surface to the general population, I think a part of that is to understand the limitations of that information as well.
Now imagine a population that was averaged in the 30's years. What do you imagine the death rate to be then? it wouldn't be half, as it scales non linearly the younger the person gets.

Wrong.

If it can't really kill anyone under 60, then you have to divide by 5 (less than 20% of the population is > 60)

If it can't really kill anyone under 70 or 80 (Seems kinda right) you might have to look at the demographics deeper.

You need more numbers.

I don't understand how the whole age thing doesn't make you think for a second your conclusion is a bit misguided. Can you elaborate how you think a population of average age ~60 handles any disease?

And on that point, your correspondent is right. The two bear no real resemblance to each other. The cross compilation approach described in the article is not something to be held in high regard. It's the result of poor design. It's a lot of work involving esoteric implementation details to solve a problem that the person using the compiler should never have encountered in the first place. It's exactly the problem that the Zig project leader is highlighting in the sticker when he contrasts Zig with Clang, etc.

The way compilers like Go and Zig work is the only reasonable way to approach cross compilation: every compiler should already be able to cross compiler.

I’ve used Redux for years, and tried many different approaches to it. But when I look at Redux Toolkit I don’t see much of what I’ve enjoyed about Redux.

To me, Redux is just a pattern for how to handle immutable updates. Redux itself isn’t even important. Every layer of abstraction over these plain, pure functions and serializable objects just obscure the simplicity of the architecture, in my opinion. Some of the recommendations expressed in the docs are reasonable, but you don’t need a library for that, just the patterns.

In my experience a lot of the confusion beginners have with Redux is because they think it is a framework that will do things for them. In that light, it looks like there is an unnecessarily large number of parts to understand. I think they often miss the fact that there is no magic, just function composition. The clearer that is, the easier it will be to work with the code.

Pharma readiness for AI. Special edition: Covid-19
The 'they' part is critical. YouTube relies on users to provide actual content. Digitalized music is uploaded by people with vast differences in tech abilities, access to tools, and even personal tastes. Some get creative and want to have HD city time-lapse as background and power point animation of lyrics. What do you do with those?

It is not impossible to go over all music videos, automatically fetch lyrics and replace video with static album cover or something, but who would do it? If YouTube does this then they are responsible for any copyright infringement, and they become huge competition to user-created content on their own platform.

WeWork’s New Crisis: ‘Workplaces Will Never Be the Same After This’
This makes me think. Is there a service that handles crowd-sourcing and processing payments a bit like Kickstarter but on a smaller scale? Say, if someone proposes a feature and the developer says "I'll do it for $300", users could donate until the goal is reached. With the promise of payment, the developer can go ahead and spend the time/effort, and everybody wins. But setting up a Kickstarter, IndieGogo, etc is too big of a deal for a $300 feature/bug fix.

GitHub Sponsors (https://github.com/sponsors) already exists, but I feel that they missed the point. As a user, I don't want to throw money at a project like it's a charity, I want to throw money so issues will be solved. As a developer, I don't want to accept unconditional donations (and all the unwritten, assumed responsibilities it comes with), I want to be funded in a concrete way so I can work on the issues users want so much they'd pay for it.

I've mostly done OpenGL recently, and I think xterm (which is fast) is an exception in that it uses just X11 primitives, but I also know that some font frawing APIs are very slow. GDI is what I have in mind mostly. So using Hardware more directly (i.e. OpenGL) might be not the worst idea.
