Oh, this is interesting! I created a webpack loader for markdown files because I use tables to store config and test data (https://www.npmjs.com/package/mdconf-loader) -- formatting in vscode already helps, but this will take it to another level.
It's a good idea, but could do with explaining that it's not a concept built in to git.

Well, the e-mail part is pretty straightforward, since many people will have a personal e-mail and a separate e-mail managed by their workplace IT.

If some current (or future) coworker has a question about the code, I don't want them to necessarily e-mail me on my home account. I might not be checking it during work hours, or I might not even be with the company anymore.

Similarly, if someone actually wants to contact my e-mail for a hobby-project, I don't want them to send it to my work-account, which over time I might no longer have access to anyway.
In that case, why wouldn't the same hold for underreaction?
Not sure about the notes format of Joplin. If it's Markdown files, then yes, you can open any Markdown folders in Document Node.

However, many users are using Document Node for notes taking, as it provides the most flexible way to arrange your content simply in folders.
In many workplaces, you're required to use the company provided email address with git. And the name some people use at work isn't the same as what they use in their personal projects. (For ex, I use my full name at work but a shorter one for personal stuff)
Can be a lot of reasons. Some people (like me) like to keep their personal identity and work identity separated. Also some company policies forces you to use a different SSH key/GPG key for work-related stuff.

Those most at risk are those requiring care. An 80+ person with some illness with typical assistance at home might meet 20+ working age people in a week. That can probably be scaled down in the name of caution to say 5, but it's unlikely to be the same 5 every week because of staff turnover, illness.

It's the same whether you receive care at home or in an assisted living facility.

Even without such care, a lot of these people regularly need hospital care for things that aren't covid. Many have regular scheduled visits to doctors for blood pressure medication tweaks and similar. You could isolate the healthy 70 year olds quite well, but not the sick 80 year olds.

At my last work I was a developer occasionally doing things with their AWS account.

I now run a large application mostly built in GCP and also now replicated in Azure for various compliance reasons.

So although my experience with the 3 clouds is not equal, I've been exposed to them all, and actually massively prefer GCP for the UIs and CLI tools.

AWS stll has better support by third party tools, and Azure is lagging behind everything.
I have to do this too because I work for different client and every client have their own gitlab which they only give access to account with their corporate email.
So i have to commit under myname@client1.com for client 1, my.name@client2.fr for client 2 and so on.

Since I usually have to work on several repositories, I usually do what OP presented. I have one directory per client with each their own configuration and their repositories.

We're ALL going into at least a month's quarantine here in NZ in 24 hrs - the government hasn't just sprung it on us, they've worked up to it over the past few weeks, they started putting people coming from some countries (China, Iran, Italy) into 2 weeks isolation, then everyone entering, now we're putting the entire country into at least a month's isolation.

At the same time they've been making changes to support people who's jobs are going away (tourism is big, it's collapsed) and to keep businesses running (last week), mortgage holidays (today).

It's not going to be easy, there's going to at least be a recession, and we're likely to be cut off in some form for far longer than a month.

Do the LEDs “induce” lucid dreaming or are they just a cue for you to look for? Because the cue thing might be slightly less absurd. If you get in the habit of performing “reality checks” (is checking for things that would be present in reality but not in a dream or vice versa), you would notice when you were dreaming and would hence have lucid dreams.

Of course, it’s still a dumb product since you can just check whether written text changes when you’re not looking at it, but it’s not necessarily as dumb as it sounds.

Agree about the business model. I don't think all places can meet all requirements, but those who can meet more of them will get more business. Still, from what I know as a consumer about the restaurant business, it's an extremely tough one and only getting tougher. I have sympathy for anyone getting into it and honestly trying to make a go of it.
And I did get carryout after our discussion during my socially distanced walk. Enjoyed my food, enjoyed my walk. And the restaurant is supposedly providing some meals to people in need, which is extremely generous of them. I do need to strike a balance with that, though. Most restaurant food has the down side of being too fattening. Something I need to watch.
The goal of slat armour isn't to detonate the RPG, as the jet from the shaped charge will easily penetrate even with the extra ~50cm of space. In WW2 some US tank crews tried to protect their tanks by piling sandbags on them, but the extra spacing actually made Panzerfausts more effective as the armour piercing jet had more space to fully form before hitting metal.

The goal with the slats is to catch and mangle the incoming warhead, so that it either fails to detonate, or doesn't form the penetrating jet.

Something to consider is that dying of pneumonia and dying indirectly of economic hardship are very different experiences. At some point we have to ask ourselves the awkward question of how many pneumonia deaths equal how many hardship deaths.

Another point could be that there are countermeasures to recession-related human suffering as well. Economy is obviously fragile, but maybe we could orient towards becoming more resilient to its inevitable crashes, instead of going to austere ends to not disturb it?
I wrote this filter for Pandoc once that allowed you to execute Python from within cells and replace the cell content with the results. It also used row names as variable names.

Sadly, I can't find the markdown file that actually uses it and I also can't remember how it worked.

But the point is: you can do it (badly, but working) in ~100 of Python code as a plugin for Pandoc.

As a Web Platform enthousiast, I design and develop websites with methods inpired by UX design and Agile. I like to focus on delivering quality front end, with accessibility and speed in mind.

As a freelancer for 10 years in France, I have been working on many types of websites, trained people, taken risks, learned from my mistakes, managed engineers, increase my code quality, performed audits, administered servers, improved my commits, curated conferences...

Today, I'm open to position that implies my front end expertise, JavaScript (Node.js, Vue.js...), a well-balanced team and remote work.

All but the most corner-cutty TP manufacturers (hopefully) remove those contaminants during the pulping process (as shown in the video; the video mentions ink and metal/plastic debris specifically, but this is where you'd filter out any other contaminants). If it's a danger to your water supply, then it's probably a danger to your behind, too.

Why 20%?

That also seems wildly optimistic. 80% seems like a more reasonable assumption than 20%.

Also - 99.9% of those patients (pulled out of a hat) wouldn't have access to health care because the capacity was already overwhelmed, so the death rate will jump markedly.
Epidemiology is not putting numbers in excel and running a formula to generate a chart. Which seems like what half the world is doing now. US has already the same number of cases that Italy had one week ago when it had 4000 deaths (only 500 for US at this point). So some data is wrong and you can't model every country in the world based on data that is just plain misleading (Italy). Median age of tested people in Italy is 13.3 years higher than the general population median age, in Germany, the difference is just 0.7. Stop treating Italy as being the only point of truth and other countries (like Germany) like the anomaly.
You don't need to be particularly fit or healthy to go on a cruise. Yes, sure, you can't be on life support, but generally 'healthy enough' to travel on a cruise is exactly what I'd expect from any random sample of the overall population.

The syntax simulates the visual representation of tables, but that doesn't scale for larger tables with many columns and/or large columns with a lot of content. Another downside is that you can not use markup, like bullet lists or source code formatting, in table cells.

Markdown tables are overly simplistic.
Reducing fever, especially with NSAIDs has shown to lead to a higher mortality rate, it suppresses your immune response. Moderate to high fever is good and is natural response to infection Organ damage needs a very high temperature 106+. If you are below this, taking fever reducers is not a good thing to help you recover from an infection. Fever reducers resulted in a 5 percent mortality increase in flu. France has warned of a link between higher mortality in young adults taking anti-febriles and Coronavirus.

> if they delegitimize your war effort, what have you really gained?

In a war characterised by:

* Bombing of civilian populations, by both sides

* Penal battalions charging across minefields without guns and getting shot by their own side if they retreat.

* First and second uses of nuclear weapons

* Literally the holocaust

The idea that chemical weapons weren't used because they were "morally repugnant" isn't the most obvious conclusion IMHO.
The essential feature of it is that it’s a compiler. Things in general get easier to debug over time as they get improved, the basic concept is actually a very powerful. I’m a fan of svelte for the small things I’ve tried it on; there’s always growing pains with learning curves.
> Italy sits at 9%. So the situation is either that Italy is vastly underestimating cases, or Germany and South Korea have lost a magnitude of corpses somewhere. I find the latter less likely than the former.

Both could be true. For example, Germany doesn't systematically test dead old and/or hospitalized people for Coronavirus infections while Italy apparently does. Germany has more resources to test potentially infected people than Italy, where all resources are needed for treatment of the hospitalized cases.

In reality, both Italy and Germany will have infections in the 100.000s, most of them with mild or no symptoms.

> 20% for a few months worth of effort is more than fair. They would not lose the entire company, simply the rights to the specific technology. And, even if it is "the whole company," then they can go start another one, or go cry me a fucking river. You seem to think I care; I don't.

The rapid test technology is something that Cepheid has been developing since before 2010. Now they have gotten approval to load reagents into the disposable cartridges their machine uses to test for COVID-19. There is no way to parcel off "just this test".

> Mass testing literally will save lives. It worked in South Korea. If we could run 700M tests

The Cepheid technology, as I've been patiently explaining to you, is about the dumbest way to run millions of tests.

The Cepheid test costs about $40 in raw materials, when a similar test from Roche has an underlying cost of $0.75, but it requires a much lower degree of operator skill and capital equipment. But because it requires less operator skill and less capital equipment, it can be closer to patients, especially in remote areas.

But you're too much into "rah rah let's nationalize the technology" before you even realize what it's useful for. Neat.
The effect on mortality of antipyretics in the treatment of influenza infection
The French study? Aside from the fact that it wasn't a randomized study and 6 patients dropped out from the treatment group (1 died, 3 went to ICU)?
Those people haven't stopped dying. As a comparison, 700 people have been dying every day for covid-19 in Italy. Also deaths are not (yet) evenly distributed but greatly concentated in the north.
I don't know the website and I can't speak to lucid dreaming, but the most incredible "sacred geometry" effects can come from "brain machine" or "audio visual entrainment" devices. Mitch Altman had a classic Make Magazine build -- the things are essentially LEDs flickering around 10hz alpha. We built one recently with Arduino to support open eye meditation -- and you see some pretty crazy things generated by your visual cortex.

Interestingly, the effect was discovered by the neuroscientist purkinje while at the beach as a boy. He noticed that waving his open fingers over his eyes produced geometric hallucinations and later published his drawings -- back in the mid 1800s.

Real Estate Mobile Apps: Everything You Need to Know
Roughly similar here in Norway. We are just encouraged to stay at home, work from home, go out shopping only when necessary and stay at least a metre away from people and we are forbidden from shaking hands. Not a lot of enforcement on an individual level. but it seems to be working.

It works well here partly I suppose because the local culture doesn't expect you to get very close even at the best of times. One metre of separation is pretty normal so now we cross the road to get out of each other's way.

Not everyone gets it of course and bars are now closed by edict in Oslo because they would not enforce the one metre separation rule.

Shops are open and have signs saying keep a metre apart and places where you queue have marks on the floor to show how much distance this is. Most also have alcohol gels and single use gloves available for those who want to use them.

There are also signs saying please pay by contactless card or mobile app if you can.

I go out for a walk for about an hour every day as usual and now it feels like Sunday every day.
