Same in Germany! ISPs hate it because it it makes their lives a lot harder - in cable networks, they now have to deal with a zoo of endpoints on a shared medium vs. a small set of standardized devices.

As a customer, I like it.
Yeah same, keep getting stuck here
You can easily mute channels you're not interested in or are too high traffic tho? I usually mute most channels except for a handful I use for my current project/team. And when I need to concentrate I put slack itself in "do not disturb" mode (usually a couple times per day but not for very long each).

Also make heavy use of threads and starting new channels to keep from having a handful of "general" channels that are both high traffic and containing a lot of important info.
Nothing will ever sway people like you from neoliberal rhetoric, huh?
This is what has always rubbed me the wrong way: (a) if it's given away for free, you do not have a right to complain about its quality, and (b) if you do complain, then why don't you go ahead and contribute. A gift horse, I know, but still...

I've received the flu shot three times in my life. I've been hospitalized for influenza three times in my life.

Please tell me more about how I've deceived myself.

Just as the MMR vaccine is less about you contracting measles and more about your spreading measles to more vulnerable populations that are unable to get the vaccine, the flu shot is identical in that regard. Sure, it helps you not get sick and/or to lessen the effects, but there is the fact that some portion of the population is unable to get the shot for various health reasons.

Edit: Instead of downvoting please tell me how my experiences are wrong. I'm very much aware of evidence and studies stating that its "impossible" to get the actual flu from the flu shot, yet I am walking proof of contrary evidence. I'm also aware of how batshit emotional people can get with regards to vaccines, and I want to be clear I am absolutely NOT advocating that anyone forgo getting a flu shot every year. When everyone else gets the shot, I'm safer. When I get the shot, my body reacts violently and I will contract the virus.

CPAN is probably the biggest influence, it is the ancestor of most package managers used today. But Perl has also spread its dialect of regular expression and the idea of regular expression literals, plus it was hugely influential on Ruby which then have lived on in Elixir and Crystal.

Also you may be correct about it kicking off the scripting languages' popularity, and as someone else mentioned it is also responsible for cgibin.
Mild cases aren't being reported either because none of them qualify for testing and couldn't get one anyway due to low availability.

Burdick also wrote Fail-Safe, which was essentially the no-nonsense complement to Strangelove. Decent book if you have nothing else to read and you're willing to trust a stranger's opinion on the internet.
What are the current projections of test-kit availability vs. need for different regions? E.g., when do we expect that doctors can test everyone that suspect of having covid19?
Monroney Sticker
ISPs didn't use it in the early days, but it was used in corporate/organizational networks. The PIX was apparently marketed as a security appliance (heh) so that defined the user base to a large extent.

You can access the web over v4 with other kind of proxies besides NAT, for example application level HTTP proxies.
If you want working v4 for all the protocols, NAT is out by definition anyways.

With the current rate it’s going to be 2500 death per day in 10 days.
Individually the danger is not so big but the fact that a lot of people are ill simultaneously is unmanageable for hospitals. The number off people who have the virus simultaneously is enough to see there is a big problem.
The flu shot is not just about you but also community at large. People mistakenly assume that the flu shot didn't work but it did the strain you got the shot for did not spread because a large part population was immune to it. As a result the strain people were not immune for got the chance to spread.
You must have missed the most recent round of GOP talking points, where they were suggesting we write off the lives of people in high-risk groups so everyone else can get back to work.

Given that the US is now neck and neck with Italy to be the first country to have more cases than China, we have been wildly exceeding any estimates based on EU countries.
Can you write a program to tell if any given program is going to halt?
>If you’re getting easily distracted by your messages, you’re not doing deep work.

What about the possibility in differences in how attention works between people. In an extreme case you would have ADD/ADHD, but in less extreme cases you can have people who are broken out of deep work much easier than others. It can also be highly situational.

For example, I can ignore most noises when reading an interesting book, but I cannot ignore noises from a TV, especially advertisement. So I've had to start wearing headphones and playing songs (which I can ignore) when I want to read while located in a room with someone watching TV.
Which medical centers are overwhelmed and which ones are operating normally.
The US administration (Trump) wants businesses reopened by Easter, despite the plentiful indications that would be an enormous public health disaster due to furthering the outbreak, in order to save the economy.

I think you can draw a recognizable path between this and say... the Aztecs who practiced human sacrifice in order to appease the gods. Except here the gods are the free market, human sacrifice is the willingness to accept higher number of deaths in order to feed the needs of the free market.

So yes, they are a death cult. Before they only showed it through uncompromising support of gun rights, but now it is clear they are willing to kill hundreds of thousands for their economic philosophy or Trump's re-election chances. Decide how evil that is.
Stockpiling Ventilators for Influenza Pandemics
That's not a worst case, it's just the current situation today. The worst case is when we reach peak concurrent infections, whenever that is and however many it is.

My wife is a nurse at a London hospital here in the UK. They're overwhelmed, whole hospitals have been converted to Covid-19 only. A nurse at another hospital here recently committed suicide because she couldn't face treating so many patients dying in agony every day. My wife's ward had some patients with other conditions transferred from one of them, but half of those patients subsequently showed symptoms soon after and now it's going through her hospital like widldfire.

She's currently living in a Premier Inn near her hospital, because her parents live with us. They're high risk and she doesn't want to bring it back with her. She's going to be working shifts over the weekend and I don't know when I'll see her again. She has asthma. Sorry if this is all too anecdotal for you.
Using fancy features does not make you a better programmer. It is the other way around.
Companies in SF are still laying off staff.

This money isn't going to bring those people their jobs back, for a while.

So, no... the companies are safer for the near-term, but people who'd rather be working are going to be on unemployment, and probably for a while.

The bailout doesn't really seem to help with that.
The millions of deaths comes from most models, which is why governments the world over are willing to endure economic devastation. Also, we are talking about the US specifically, so bringing in the worldwide death toll from 5th order effects (why not 20th?) seems disingenuous.

Finally, the UK changed their strategy away from sequestering the 70+ population because Imperial College told them that would only halve their death toll, and it would still remain solidly in the millions (for a country of 66 million).
The current administration is popular among evangelicals, many of whom focus on the necessity of bringing about the end of times (by getting all the Jews back to Israel, among other things, instigating or ensuring various other harbingers of the apocalypse, including promoting climate destruction and war, etc) in order that the Rapture happens so they can get taken up to heaven without having to die first, and while up there they have a front row seat to watch the sufferings of the 'non-elite' majority who will remain on the earth.

I'm curious was this a situation where ssh port-forwarding would not have worked?
Quarantine completely failed to prevent what was a highly localized disease globally in 2 months. We need to accept it’s simply ineffective across international borders unless draconian measures are applied before they seem required. We might get through this with 100,000 people dying globally or 100,000,000 it’s completely unknown at this point. But, should the second happen expect some significant changes to happen for years if not decades.

PS: China’s case fatality rate broke 4%, though they likely undercounted cases by ~50% if not more.
This isn't fear-mongering. This is reality.

My dad is a practicing internist in Miami. He told me last night that every ICU in the area is already filled with patients. I doubt every single one of those patients has been tested and is counting towards these official numbers.

I wonder how much the viral load affects this? People working in these conditions are at a high risk of inhaling a large amount of virus at different times.
The sched_* functions, as implemented by glibc, do not do what POSIX says they should. On linux, it is not possible to implement them in a way that is compliant with the standard, so musl does not implement them. Given the principles specified in this webpage, that seems like a pretty reasonable thing to do.

musl does expose the extent of functionality provided by the kernel through the corresponding pthread scheduling functions.

> Who removes functionality that the kernel provides because in his opinion the kernel's design is wrong?

The kernel doesn't provide the necessary functionality. The functionality that the kernel does provide is still available in musl.

I can understand that this is probably frustrating (I'm sure I would be frustrated if I had to deal with it), but I can respect musl's decision not to have sched_* do the wrong thing.
Its a severe way of characterizing the way many of us in American value liberty even if it harms or kills us and others.

If you’re healthy you could also reach out to a local shelter, neighborhood not for profit, charity or church. They may have needs.

Also, don’t forget to socialize in whatever way you can. Skype your relatives, call your friends, send a letter to your neighbor. Go on a walk and ask people (from 6 Ft away or more of course) how they’re doing. Take time to do the human things. Anyway to make someone else feel slightly normal is this time is a big help!
that's the point. unless you are hit on the head with the test result, you tend to continue the daily routine (and possibly infect others).
LICEcap also works quite well on Linux via Wine.
Scott Galloway on Recode's Pivot podcast made an excellent point:

Government intervention to corporations should only be loans, convertible to equity.

Galloway observes that USA taxpayers actually made money from the 2008-2009 bailouts to corporations.

I'm pretty sure I agree with this policy. I'd like to learn more.

Along with prohibitions on stock buybacks, bonuses for execs, and all the other clever ways people exfiltrate cash from corporations.

Show HN: Spin Report — compare news headlines over time
Pangolins found to carry viruses related to Covid-19
The goal is to make sure everyone is housed, fed, and educated. One option is to just give them housing, food, and education. Another is to give people money and let them choose. Yet another is to loan the money and to put them in debt forever.

It's a noble goal. What about exercising the option of personal responsibility and agency of choice? (D) none of the above.
This weekend I prototyped something I've wanted to make for a long time. Spin Report takes a screenshot of six different news sites at the same time every four hours. (Click one to enlarge, and use your arrow keys to navigate up/down or left/right.)

Its goal is to apolitically demonstrate differences in political narratives over time and across different publications, simply by making it easy to view their headlines at once.

This is an early prototype, but it's already been incredibly interesting for me and the few friends I've shared it with, despite missing about twenty features (especially real mobile supprot) I want to add. Are you a real software engineer? Want to help me take it the next level: spinreport@ft.io. Thanks for looking!
Check if your router has tmpfs mounted. Iirc thats ram, it should probably have enough space for you to upload it and run it from there.
My story is similar to the OP's. Started with TI-BASIC, and downgraded to Java for a programming class. :)

It turns out, you can actually write programs in TI-BASIC on a computer, and sync the file to the calculator with the usb connector.

I used to charge kids in my class for copies of my games (Snake, and a Zork-esque text adventure). a lot of early business lessons there, in retrospect.
This is why, in my case, the ISP's router (that awful box Verizon provides with FIOS) is sitting, beside the DMARC, unplugged and powered off.

My DMARC has a hot ethernet jack, and my firewall (PC running Linux) that I control is connected to that ethernet jack. No ISP shenanigans (other than what they can remotely do to configure the FIOS DMARC itself).

What country even quarantined everyone coming in on a plane?

I might have been unclear, but I was suggesting quarantine for everyone coming in, as an alternative to banning travel forever.

Quarantine set up once you already have an outbreak is uh, a different matter.
$25K in book sales, and I'm almost ready to publish (2015)
oh makes sense. I didn't reliase that comment meant "i get sick every time" ( from flu shot). I thought it meant "i get sick every time" regardless of flu shot.
I think there might be more merit to it than previously thought, but not just for the Scots, much more broadly to the earlier Celtic progenitors of a few later more distinct groups. For example, I don't remember the tribes name, but I recently learned one of the southeasterly Germanic tribes who claimed to be the oldest of the Germanic tribes also said they came from Scythia!

I tend to think of the Yamna and Corded Ware a lot when considering this question.

While it used to be more controversial, this has also been why the reduction of cost of genetic sequencing has been showing more and more scientifically viable analysis of these types of questions because DNA is much easier to follow! So the Scythians are really just a much younger version of some common ancestors, with haplogroup R1a being one of the more dominant ones.

In short, I think overfocusing on the younger "Scythian hypothesis" is too specific and prone to error, but there are lots of great insights to be had in following the genetic maps that have been exploding the knowledge set of proto-indo-european archaeology since about 2010.
Phrased differently, I would be willing to die to give employment to 1000 people who can work to save 10 (?) people. If people aren’t working to care for the system, then doctors can’t find helpers with their kids, etc.

The system collapses in this scenario as well.

I don’t have a real answer, but this event is helping discuss interesting and difficult questions.

If I was over 70 y.o., I would think that I would be willing to die to prevent my grandchildren from experiencing the great depression.

Couldn't you just daisy chain a second router via Ethernet and use it? Bonus points for VPN-ing all of your traffic.
It's funny; when D3 was brand new it was selections and joins that were the big new unique feature, the thing that allowed the magic for D3. It's interesting to hear they're still important but that you'd de-emphasize them a bit in favor of other D3 features.
In the case of morgue's they are already solving this by having air conditioned semi trailers parked by the hospital where store bodies until they can be moved.
Even scientists are uncertain, how can governments be?
Agreed, I don't want to minimize the impact on them. I was responding to the article's DSL population.

For your uncle- I know that both suburban and rural providers in my area are providing various "COVID19 lifeline" deals, including fixed wireless operators serving some super rural locations. Might be worth looking into.
TL;DR: The article models on Texas for mild, moderate & severe pandemics. (Severe == 1918 Spanish Flu)

Recommended stockpiles depend on risk threshold, e.g., probability of a certain number of people that need a ventilator going without one.

Recommended stockpiles range from about ~300 (mild) to ~1100 (moderate) to ~15,000 (severe)
Madrid already has already converted it's largest ice skating rink into a morgue...

https://english.elpais.com/society/2020-03-24/madrid-starts-...
There are potential options. Spain recently converted an ice rink into a temporary morgue. Decent cooling.
At that level, the textbooks are more or less the same. So neither is superior than the other.
Seriously? We've watched this thing spread over the past three months. Every single nation and state saw exponential growth of confirmed cases once community spread started happening — often doubling every 2-4 days. The growth continued until serious mitigations (like shutdowns and lockdowns) were put in place.

Why do you think the rest of the US is going to be different? They're just a few doublings (some days) behind.
That's not fear mongering at all. It's the truth in several areas that were infected early. Spread is exponential and ICU is at the median 14 days from exposure. You would expect the highest density and earliest sites to see overwhelmed ICUs there. That's going to happen everywhere in the next few weeks and months.

The idea you are discounting anonymous sources is ill-founded given this is realtime in healthcare (in which being on record as a source could be an employment risk) and agrees with every analysis, including the briefings from the military and intelligence community given to the president in January and February. It also agrees with analyses of this specific situation, which almost exactly the archetype of the type of pandemic people were concerned about.

I suspect Florida and Louisiana are next. You are also incorrectly aggregating data and not looking at local demographic and healthcare coverage. Beds and ICUs are not evenly distributed. There was a rural healthcare crisis before COVID-19 and the demographics were older with more CFR associated comorbities, too. VA outside of NoVA, WVa, AL, KY, southern OH, MO, AK, AR... it's just a matter of time.
Twitter is the worst platform for communication like this. I stopped reading after the 5th blurb. Post a blog post and then a single twitter post with a link to the blob.

> Are you saying that this makes it okay?

I am not saying it makes it OK. I am saying he is the boy who has cried wolf so so many times I will not believe anything he says ever anymore. The noise to signal ratio is off the charts. I am not saying everything he says is a lie or framed to be misleading. But I am saying honest truth is a rarity in his works. Much like the actual boy who cried wolf, he says the honest truth in extremely rare occasions. But for the sake of my own sanity, I (and I am sure many other Canadians) have stopped listening to anything he has to say.

I don't count a framed and edited video from Ezra Levant as evidence. If you could point me to an actual news site, preferably something well-regarded like Globe and Mail not partisan like Star and National Post, and certainly not tabloids like Sun, then I would take a look at it. And when I say news, I mean news, not opinion or anything else. Otherwise, I am not going to waste 30 minutes of my life listening to a video by liar-supreme.
Anyone else here written BCPL? I must be one of very few people to have used it at _two_ different jobs.
They blew an incredible amount of effort and money on new processes that didn't pan out. The failure rate was too high for production. AMD doesnt fab their own chips so they can piggyback on the progress unlocked by the fabs that build for cellphones (TSMC in this case).

Also, transistor density is a better measure than 5nm/7nm/10nm. That feature detail in nanometers is more or less pure marketing term and doesn't compare accurately. Intels transistor density is still better than the latest Ryzen but it looks like they will be matched or surpassed by the next gen AMD.
Yes, it is. In my OP I specifically mentioned client (app) settings with this in mind. A lot of times taking 20 minutes to answer is perfectly fine.
And that is why I have my own router plugged into the ISP router:)
Even the death numbers are going to be off. Lot of deaths either were attributed to the ultimate cause (i.e. heart attack) or happened at home and haven't been attributed to covid as of yet.
> ISPs hate it because it it makes their lives a lot harder - in cable networks, they now have to deal with a zoo of endpoints on a shared medium vs. a small set of standardized devices.

In other words, ISPs hate it because it forces them to actually do their jobs and be ISPs. The Internet itself is "a zoo of endpoints on a shared medium", and ISP stands for Internet Service Provider.
...and thus pure consciousness was born.
