I'm tired of the dogma that's behind all the hyped up software development tools and techniques.

For years, I was telling people that React and related tooling was a bad idea, that it adds a lot of unnecessary bloat which is not worth it.
Everyone (like 99% of developers) disagreed with me and kept insisting that it was a simple solution.

Fast forward half a decade, now pretty much everyone agrees that React adds a lot of unnecessary bloat... The level of bloat just had to get truly appalling for people to actually notice (I swear a lot of projects seem to take 10 minutes to build).
It took 5 years for people to accept the PREMISE of my original argument.

But now even though a lot of people finally accept the premise, they are still desperately trying to rationalize the existence of their favorite hyped up tools in any way they can.

I'm tired of explaining to people that "simpler solutions are better than complex ones". If any idea should be recited dogmatically, that should be it. Someone should write a book about it so that people can repeatedly whack themselves over the head with it until it gets through their thick primal skulls.
Depends on what you are doing. For my use cases I strongly preferred the wireguard tooling to the OpenVPN tooling, but the Wireguard ecosystem is still missing many features.

Most recreational diving is just compressed air, no added oxygen.

I wonder if, or why, SCBA gear would use different tank valves than SCUBA gear such that any dive shop couldn't fill one.
That is a pretty flippant comparison.

I’m the trustee of a regional women’s shelter; we run a small building of 8 apartments which we offer to women and children as short-medium term refuges at no cost.

The people who arrive with us are experiencing trauma past breaking point (often abuse is normalised and needs to be significantly escalated until someone is willing to take flight), with symptoms of PTSD, depression, and often significant physical injuries. Children absorb this abuse in a similar manner, without any means to process the trauma.

Organisations like our face an extremely uncertain future; while the need for what we do remains, and probably increases, many women are unable to move or scared to due to the government advice on travel. This is against the backdrop of being unable to procure supplies; we provide our residents with everything from food to nappies, all donated or bought from cash donations.

I appreciate that living with a difficult roommate is a testing circumstance. But domestic abuse is truly a different level of horror.
I've heard arguments for dividends/buybacks in the scenario where the government does a terrible job of picking companies that actually need a bailout and ends up throwing money at a healthy company, in which case the only way for that money to reach decent investment opportunities is for the company to pass on the money to its own investors in the form of buybacks and what not. I don't really agree with the concept since bailouts are supposed to be for keeping big domestic employers alive and not some 10 person juicero startup an ocean away but the money does eventually end up funding someone's job so it's not completely useless.

An important clarification that came out after the linked article:

"Earlier in the week, we had some misinformation come out that made it look like we had to close, and then we had formal guidance come out yesterday evening that said, 'no, we can continue to operate," Nicholaus Sutherland, ORVA's executive director, said. Although normal classes can resume, the virtual school has been told it won't be able to enroll any new students as of March 26.

I think that fear that people are on fishing expedition to find any numbers that could be twisted as optimistic and then use them for politics is not reactionary paranoia. That is exactly what was and is going on last weeks.

And phaemon is completely correct in saying that US has not done everything it can. It was the opposite - spinning situation in absurdly optimistic way until it became impossible to ignore.

Talend is also an AWS partner. Interesting how expert/clever these solution architects are nowadays. And of course, it's AWS certified, much better than your low skilled data engineers, so it must be true.
Yes, exactly. Those compressors are expensive. Back in my firefighting days, of the 21 or so departments in my county, I think maybe 3 had their own compressors. A few more had cascade systems, either at their station, or on a truck. So every couple of weeks or so, the other departments would haul all of their bottles to one of the departments that had a compressor, and refill them all (including the cascade bottles).

It really is a bit of a hassle, but it's worth it for an application like firefighting where SCBA are an absolute requirement.

I'm Stuck in a flat above heroin/crack abusers, they have dealers in all the time, abuse the victim card and keep getting away with it. Police, council.... all just victimhood them and dispite over years and years of having hard evidence, they just ignore it.

Equally the partner of the women had a business, working and she got him hooked on the stuff, she's abusive, killing him and nobody over the years seems to care as she is for want of a better word - classic dark triad case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad

I've suffered abuse, homophobic abuse and as I'm not gay, it has been ignored. Even malicious gossip about me being a peado, again all ignored by the powers that be and I've done all the right things, tried so many times and been ignored.

Since lockdown they have guests all the time, dealers, really nasty people and yet, i'm still ignored.

Housing association in question even gone out their way to protect them and she has driven so many people out of their homes due to her abuse and still is allowed to get away with it as she excels at playing the victim, lies and I could list endless examples, it just frustrates me how these people keep on being allowed to carry on.

So yes, very mindful of abuse, sadly the system seems to excel at enabling them.

Oh as for police, even had instances of them not only doing nothing, but informing the dealers who informed upon them.
Like passing on statements to her so she can show the dealers she didn't inform upon them and with that, lets them back in to the detrement of those who stood up.

So nobody dares do anything as they have lost faith in the police and all support.

I'm now at stage that I need a good investigative reporter as I have recordings and other proofs as the police have failed me so many times that I've lost faith in them completly. As I have all support systems.

I have aspergers and have serious PTSD due to years of this abuse and need help getting the truth out there.

Sorry if this not best place to talk about this, but I've tried and tried all the right avenues and only to be failed.

Also sorry that I can't bestow all the details as it is so painful and triggers my PTSD but I'll try.
I didn't. Try reading what I wrote. I'm dismissing half-brained idiots who try to downplay the seriousness of the situation by playing with numbers while ignoring what those numbers mean.

Female Surgeons Are Treated Terribly
Ah, I understand now.

That seems like a good idea indeed, however I'm not sure how it'd look in practice. The transition from input space to state space happens in the event handlers, which currently look like this:

onClick :: Bounded a => Enum a => a -> VDOM a

If I understand correctly, you're proposing something like:

onClick :: Bounded a => Enum a => a -> VDOM b

Where b can be whatever (i.e. an Int, etc)? How would a be converted into b?

This is a nonsensical response on two levels.

First, you're missing the obvious fact that the response to this pandemic is largely dictated by data processing. People are modeling the spread of the virus, trying to make predictions about the optimal policy, trying to figure out infection rates without full testing and evaluating promising drugs. All of those things relate to modeling and data analysis. Deep learning was touted to revolutionize exactly those two things.

Second, web technologies are making an obvious impact by allowing (some, many) people to stay in touch, stay informed, keep working and buy stuff without exposing themselves to crowded places. This constitutes visible and significant positive impact.
If you cannot recommend KDE because "there's always this little bug here or there", you cannot recommend anything.

When people prefer Windows over Linux, or macOS over Windows, or Linux over macOS, it's often because they don't want to exchange their well-known set of bugs for an exciting and unknown new set of bugs.
Zero companies receiving the bailout money are going to buy back stock with it. This whole charade is just a big feel good bit of nonsense for main street.

What people are complaining about is that previously these companies did buy backs. Boeing did buybacks (when they were profitable, though they cancelled them when the 737 MAX disaster began). The airlines did buybacks. Etc.

People are complaining that if these companies all sat on enormous war chests they wouldn't need help now. But that has never happened and will never happen like that because it would be ludicrously inefficient for the market at large.
... yes, obviously? : )

We might not be using the word "manual" to mean the same here.

I meant not writing the whole xml json yaml or whatever yourself, manually copying certs and credentials etc — you're likely to make mistakes, it's tedious and useless most of the time. You rather use tools like Viscosity. Just efficient / best practice sysadmin.

You obviously need access to the target machine in the first place... it's a VPN setup.
Agree with you 99%!

> but I can really see Affinity being a lot more appealing to new artists.

Even experienced ones! Affinity Designer et al. are fantastic! The workbooks they publish (advanced user guides) free video tutorials are great as well. And they have a much nicer community than Adobe -- much more clueful and helpful.

In no way should my comment (that Adobe is better) be taken as even a hint of negativity towards Affinity.

They fill different needs, or should I say, a different spectrum of needs.

My main complaint is all the people griping about Adobe's subscription model. Who cares??? If Affinity is so good, use that instead! If you find you need the much richer feature set of Illustrator, guess what -- pony up. I personally wish that Affinity would either charge more or move to subscription. $50/yr really? I would love to pay $50/yr to see the most infuriatingly simple yet absent features get implemented. Especially now since I've been forced to Catalina and can no longer use my CS6 products. But that's not where we are, and doesn't give me grounds to complain that a product I want is expensive.

> Illustrator is really, really ripe for disruption

and self-driving cars are right around the corner ...
Companies (and their directors) care about the share price because their owners care about the share price, since they are the shareholders.

If the directors and bosses stopped caring about the share price, the shareholders would be more likely to kick them out and recruit some more co-operative people.

If you want companies to care less about share prices, you'll have to structure companies differently.
When a neural network solved a problem, it means it found the algebraic function it needs to solve the problem.

Can you please point to where WHO is saying people shouldn’t use homemade masks? I’ve never seen that claim, but if it’s true it indeed doesn’t make sense. I’ve only seen CDC dissuade people from using surgical and N95 masks.

Perhaps there’s concern that if CDC or others advise people to use homemade masks, people who actually do need N95 masks (e.g. severely immunocompromised) will think that works for them?

Edit: there’s also the moral hazard aspect to consider: if people think wearing homemade masks is enough to protect them, they’re probably a lot more likely to ignore quarantine or social distancing. If the masks aren’t 100% effective and are used wrong, that could be worse than just staying in and social distancing.
I wonder if, or why, SCBA gear would use different tank valves than SCUBA gear such that any dive shop couldn't fill one.

Good point. I don't actually know for a fact that they are different. It may actually be the case that a dive shop would have the capability to fill an SCBA bottle. Now, whether or not they'd be willing to do it is a different question.
That's not an aesthetic complaint.
It feels like there are so many stupid fads too bad that wasn't one of them.
Sure - you can block access but the fundamental problem you're appearing to target isn't what he's after. Heck to even get the user-auth he's asking for you have to use tailscale + some third party app whether that's okta or azure or google. I'm not saying he can't sort-of accomplish what he's trying to do but it very much feels like you've got a hammer and think his screw looks like a nail.
It was merged in 5.6, which was tagged less than 24 hours ago.
The number of people that are infected doesn't tell you that much about R0. You can get R0 from the increase in daily new deaths and the generation time between infections, given that the quality of care stays constant.

Serological tests will tell you something about the early outbreak and how many cases where not detected and how high the infected fatality ratio really is.

I have seen many people that still believe that the IFR is in the range of an average flu. With the data from South Korea, we can put a number at what we can expect the IFR to be if we make some optimistic assumptions.

That is why I say that you should not expect that serological tests show that a large part of the population already had covid19 and that the IFR is much lower than we expect. They will show where exactly the IFR is.

> That 15/15 survey participants believe in rhino horn is part of the study's design, not one of its conclusions.

It doesn't explicitly say that anywhere. If you want to interpret the introductory sentence like that, fair enough, it's ambiguous. I interpret it the other way around.

> I have no idea how many TCM practitioners or patients in China believe in the efficacy of rhino horn, and neither do you.

Enough to drive the rhino the brink of extinction and enough to make the CCP legalize its trade again.

Indeed, it's not so easy to find stats on this. The best I found:

"Gratwicke et al. (2008) surveyed 1880 residents in six Chinese cites to learn about demand for products made from wild tigers. Of the 43% of respondents who admitted to having consumed tiger products, 71% expressed a preference for wild over farm-sourced products"

"A survey of 800 educated, urban, traditional medicine users in Vietnam with an average monthly income of US$292 revealed that 59% (475) had either purchased or used rhino horn, or expressed an in-terest in doing so in the future (Hanley et al. 2016"

https://www.nabu.de/imperia/md/content/nabude/internationale...

Of course that's proxy data, but it doesn't seem to be just a tiny minority.

> I do know, having occasionally visited Australian TCM practitioners (who trained in China) for acupuncture and related treatments, that none of them have any belief in animal-based remedies, endangered or otherwise.

Of course, foreigners only get sold the "feel good" version of TCM. Chinese people obviously don't want to "appear bad" to foreign sensitivities. That's why, if you ask them, they will probably downplay it or outright lie to you.
Man in Norway fined $4000 for breaking quarantine three times
Unfortunately, this is not definitive. Here are a bunch of corrections, off the top of my head:

* echo -e is not portable across shells, and even across versions of the same shell sometimes. The test output should be generated with printf. https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/65803/5132

* The article erroneously says "If you don't see italicised foo above, then you need to add a custom terminfo." where what it should say is "If vim does not emit this control sequence", or it should have an intermediate example using tput in place of hardwired control sequences. A custom terminfo will not affect the echo/printf command of the raw control sequences at all.

* The sideswipe about "better terminal emulators" mentioning only 3 fashionable ones is not well-founded. In fact, most terminal emulators (from XTerm to Konsole, including even recent VTE-based ones) support italicization. Supporting the boldface/roman/italics triad that has been in Unix document processing for approaching half a century is not a niche or novel thing.

* The xterm-256color entry in terminfo already has ritm= and sitm= capabilities (via xterm-base and ecma+italics). There's no need to make one's own from someone's file on GitHub. https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/terminfo.ti.html#tic-xt...

* The correct terminal type for tmux in terminfo is tmux or tmux-256color, which again already have ritm and sitm (again via ecma+italics). There is no need for a "new entry called 'tmux'". One should already have been there for roughly 5 years now. https://invisible-island.net/ncurses/terminfo.ti.html#tic-tm...
I think, if we are talking about "masks for everyone" it can only be surgical masks, which are relatively cheap and comfortable. Or homemade replacements made from cloth, which can be washed and reused. Some German clothing companies already have started producing cloth masks too.
