Folks are estimating many weeks, even months.

But consider: the doubling time is around 4-5 days. We'll hit 1M worldwide maybe Friday.

40 days after that, we'll hit 1B people. That's about the estimated total that typically get infected by a pandemic. Peak infection.

Two or three weeks after that, everybody will be through it. No problem; scars and health issues; death; whatever, it'll be over.

So 60 days to do anything and everything we hope to do with this. No more than that.
Utilities within a city are monopoly providers of electricity, water, and sewer services.

"That's only a monopoly in the same sense that McDonalds has a monopoly on Big Macs. It's within their own ecosystem. Customers can decide whether they want to buy into that ecosystem or choose an alternative" (like living in the next town over, or solar power, water delivery, and portable toilets).

The fact that alternatives exist (live somewhere else! live disconnected!) does not negate the fact that the utility is a monopoly provider of those services.

The primary difference between utility monopolies and the iOS monopoly is that utilities are a "natural" monopoly (there are significant infrastructure costs to enter the market of providing running water to homes in a city) whereas the iOS monopoly is government-granted via copyrights and contracts and digital locks that exclude competitors, and those locks are again protected by DMCA copyright law.

There is no natural reason there cannot be a competing app store on iOS, except that Apple wants to preserve its monopoly.

Would you let a home builder dictate what food delivery options you have? Why let a phone builder dictate what software delivery options you have?

List of paid educational resources offered for free during Covid-19
My fear is that economic impacts will end up so severe that we won't really see normal again as a result for a long, long time. I hope I'm being alarmist, but my gut tells me (and my brain) that my city is hemorrhaging cash and even with economic stimulus, jobs aren't going to come back as quickly as people think.

A lot of local business owners who were doing alright (making money and paying several employees) are not at all interested in getting back to it. The risk in the next few years due to future waves of infection is too great, and government assistance is incredible here in Canada but only enough to help you limp along. That's a scary condition to run a business.

I think this will be great for large companies. Jobs and economic opportunity might relatively shift towards them for quite a while.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see a significant change to isolation practices any time soon and the economic impacts seem likely to change our lives in a very noticeable way.
Zoom security bug lets attackers steal Windows passwords
No, you don't. you can fly over high mountains, having a lot less distance between the plane and the terrain, but how you lose altitude is more important: just a single km drop can be unrecoverable if exceeding VNE and losing a wing in the process.
When I founded my previous start-up, I used to describe my job as "professional creative play". I got some serious anger from a few employees about that description. So I stopped saying that's what I do, but it's exactly what I do.

That seems to be on purpose. They are using the sheet as a database, and abstracting all but the "admin" away from direct access.

Using sheets for the back-end is unusual, but otherwise it's the same space as Knack, Quickbase, Zoho Creator, etc. They are all pretty popular.

Vancouver Store Claims PS5 Will Cost $400 – Tom's Hardware
The Registrar is an ethereum contract, not a company, though. I believe this means that once you have a domain tied to your wallet, nobody can take it down or transfer it without your private keys. The Admins can only sell new domains.

I was recently inspired by a post on HN: “An app can be a home-cooked meal” [1] and decided I was finally done putting up with time tracking apps that didn't suit my own use case well enough.

I hate time-tracking, but it is a requirement of my job (grants that help pay for my job, really) and if I don't have an app handy, I tend to forget to record my time. I've tried numerous time-tracking apps on the app stores, but they've each fallen short for me in some way or another—many are too complicated, or don't _just work_, or cost more than I think is reasonable. Many necessitate sending data over the network for multi-device sync—a feature I have no need of, but can never disable.

Since time tracking is fairly simple, I decided to write my own app to scratch my own itch. I also decided to publish the app and use it as a learning experience—I've worked on parts of mobile apps before, and developed proof-of-concept mobile apps before, but I wanted to follow the process through from start to end. I also decided to localize it (using Google Translate) for the experience of doing so. My biggest take away from all of this is that the work required to create and manage a store presence (localization and especially localized screenshots) is almost an order of magnitude more work than programming the damned thing in the first place.

In any event, this is an app I made for myself. But if you want to use it or fork it for your own purposes, please do.

Bill Gates calls for nationwide shutdown
I’ve really enjoyed writing state machines in Swift. The rich enums allow states to be expressed with wrapped data (associated values) and events to also be expressed as rich enums.

I’ve begun using the pattern to represent state in views, navigation, and obviously when modeling processes (like a firmware update or Bluetooth connection).
Wow this is basically exactly what I've been wanting to work on. Got anything to share? Would love to contribute.
Oh I hate that! For apps I want that do that, I first search if there's alternative installation methods available and use those, even if it's more work. Barring that, I will usually take a look at the script for anything it tries to download or any permissions its trying to set. But if I'm in a hurry...sometimes I just run it...

I mean, I'm not knocking, but I do wonder if you're taking "man vs. nature" to mean something more specific than the way it's being intended, is all. Not so much Bear Grylls, as just the idea that the two categories exist in a way that's distinct from one another. Although I am glad to know that Bear Grylls is drawing on so historically rich a tradition!
x86 at least. Is it the same on ARM, MIPS, PPC, etc?
Yep, it wasn't until I was contacted by an owner of a charity that handled cases of domestic abuse that I even knew it was even needed. Initially this was a hobby project I did in my spare time for when I went travelling and it's grown from there.

More visibility is definitely key, and charities are already stretched so it's not like they have the resources to get this kind of thing done for them. I've been reaching out to various charities to open a channel of communication to let them know that this is available for them.
And I guess it was probably cheaper for Google to just buy the TLD and not fix their internal processes?
This blog post over complicates and mythologizes an extremely simple process. That is to not be embarrassed or ashamed to ask people you want something from what you can do to get it.

Additionally, this is survivorship bias. His emails sounded very professionally immature and while this companies leadership may have found it endearing, I could easily see other groups of people finding it off putting.

What this guys effort signaled to me is that he’s probably annoyingly overeager, but willing to basically do whatever I want him to do whenever and however long I want him to do it. In other words he’d be a good lackey.

If you want to shamelessly signal that you’d be a decent lackey for an obscure to medium startup this may be decent advice. And this may not be a bad thing, I know Casey Neistat’s employee Jack Coyne did something similar and it opened up a lot of doors for him.
Planning and scheduling tools are weird. Everybody has their own system already. So software is either simple (and doesn’t work for most people) or incredibly complex (and requires massive customization). Or they say “just redesign your whole life around our app!”

I’m not even sure which one OmniFocus is trying to be.
That does explain some of it... but was completely unclear because he literally said at the top, in bold, "it's a strategy with fundamental principles for any cold outreach."
Right there with you. I'm still on an old build of 1P; I feel like eventually I'll have to migrate to something else, because I don't want their new version AT ALL.

I eventually quit using all the Omni tools for the same reasons -- OO was PERFECT and now is a mess, OF got a terrible redesign, etc.
Not a problem if everyone used Linux. (Sarcasm intended: no workable binary signing)
Reading the website/github, the domains are stored on-chain, but UD provides an HTTP API (essentially a DNS-over-HTTPS resolver), and that could obviously be censored. It's not clear to me if Opera is reading directly from the chain or using UD's API, but I suspect the latter.
I find that Practical Common Lisp has not aged well. Maybe it's the "practical" part with the specific examples the author used -that are now terribly dated- that is mainly responsible, but the end result is that I no longer recommend it.

My goto recommendation for newcomers is Norvig's PAIP which is full of insightful moments and unbelievably good code and for people with more experience "Let over Lambda" by Doug Hoyte, which is a mind-blowing book mainly because of the time-transcendent nature of the examples Doug chose.
I'm trying to read through this and understand it, but I'm missing it- too little coffee probably.

UK to speed up coronavirus testing as criticism grows
By definition, in their line of work if you knew exactly how useful and effective they were they would not be doing their job properly. They report to the UK government, not to you and not to me even though I am a UK citizen (as you may be, I don't know). They have worked for governments lead by or including all three main political parties in the UK and they all decided they were useful enough to them to keep, in pursuing their goals on behalf of the people who elected them. That's good enough for me.
Yes, earlier actions definitely should have been taken.

Interestingly, there seems to be a collective delusion developing about when the action could of/should of been taken. Late January...early February...really? That long?

I'm biased [1], but agree with serjester -- the spreadsheet needs to be a part of the application authoring process.

For data access, a tool like this needs to support:

- lightweight: the spreadsheet itself

- medium-weight: a built-in set of functions for storing/fetching data (from a built-in, behind-the-scenes DB)

- heavyweight: functions for accessing data in an existing corporate DB, queue (Kafka, JMS, etc), and other sources in real-time

Seems like a lot of people staring at correlations without a lot of causal reasoning (why is hotter, wetter climate worse for the virus? Is it because of more background bacteria? Is it just a way to find the omitted variable of exposure to sunlight etc etc).

> If it's hard to get rid of somebody, you will make extra extra extra sure that they are a very good fit.

Perhaps I'm in the (American) minority but that seems like a win/win to me. As an employer I'd much rather take a bit more time to find the right person and as an employee I'd gladly exchange a slightly slower market for additional job security/a safety net if things don't work out.
Do you have multiple screens active at one time? This is really only a problem when you have multiple screens, applications don't "remember" which screen they are supposed to be on, they just go to the "primary" screen when docked.
Sure but how does that work with the provided implementation where all states can only transition to a single state, this is ensured at compile time. What does the code look like that allows a state to transition to one of several other states?
I'm planning to read PAIP over the upcoming weekend as a follow-up, I've already got it sitting here.

1. Yes, it has pretty high CPU usage unfortunately and that’s despite the attempts of Jitsi to offload h264 encoding onto the clients. You could in theory lock it to standard definition video though which would reduce CPU usage a lot.

2. We did not on this instance but we did using their Docker instance which was very straightforward to setup:

I don’t believe it needs a VM per conference - maybe a ffmpeg process per instance?

A lot of people seem to hope the vaccine will lead to the end of the pandemic, but that won't happen necessarily. That's not what ended the Spanish Flu pandemic.

There's a limit on how far pandemics can go, even considering mutations. It's funny that when we try to lecture people about pyramid schemes, we always say : "you'll run out of people on Earth pretty quickly to sustain this scheme", but when it comes to pandemics, we forget this advice.

99% of all businesses are planning on at least two really bad quarters coming up. Very few have cash reserves to cover shortfalls. If you’re planning out the rest of the year, and you were already in a little trouble, you have to cut expenses immediately.

I’m not sure Omni is as tied to quarterly planning/reporting; but for those who are, and are on the regular calendar schedule, this all happened just in time for a lot of the potential Q1 end of quarter sales to dry up as everyone tightened up.
I think this can hold in any country today, regardless of how developed you consider it to be. Slums not necessary. Less true in smaller countries like Iceland or the Vatican, of course, but I think this has way more to do with population size than progression.

Yep, definitely a possibility for higher risk users in the future. The current listed app should cover off a large portion of use cases and making it simple to access is my highest priority.

My tentative guess is around June. It seems like the ramp up is slowing down after a while in a lot of countries. Look at the 'New Daily Cases' graphs for separate countries[0].
So maybe another ~1 month or so of ramp-up and then after a while some ramp down. Maybe a bit worse in the US than elsewhere.

Of course, the impact will be felt for a long time.

> Most tech workers do have some ownership in the companies which muddies the calculus a little bit.

Maybe nitpicking, but I don't think this is true at all. Lots of tech workers do, sure, but I doubt it's anywhere even close to half of them.
I saw lots of discussions of this back in the day, when the GTD cult (I kid) was really in ascendance. All the really good implementations I saw, though, were Mac tools.

There ARE some options that are text-based, I think. And if you really want and are nerdy enough, you can do it in OrgMode. But I dunno what nice polished native apps exist for Windows.
The filters are more efficient in space and query time at the cost of being immutable after being constructed. There is no Add() operation as there is with the others.

At MintData [1], we get this asked a lot too, and honestly

- how long the company has been in business
- the existing customer base w/references
- the ability of the vendor to support enterprise customers & their needs

tends to play a bigger role for making a go/no-go decision, in our experience.

And for JavaScript, that space doesn't include buffer overruns or memory safety, unless you do something very exotic and implement your own indirected memory access in JavaScript (in which case, you've sort of dug your own grave). because undefined behavior literally means undefined behavior, C++ gets to bring to the table all of the failure modes JavaScript brings to the table in addition to the plethora of ways unchecked memory indirection can go wrong.

There are circumstances where you want the features C++ brings to solve a problem. But solving a problem with dynamite is still solving a problem with dynamite; there's a lot more ways it can go wrong than solving the problem with a steam drill, to torture an analogy a bit.
I registered a .dev for my company, but because it's a company of one I imagine this won't affect me then. Good to know though. I do recall using .dev for local/internal development years ago...

EDIT: so would this mean that registering a .dev for some BigCo domain could potentially cause problems? Curious what the real-world implications might be.
Ah. Makes sense. I deal mostly with businesses, and Zoom, from my anecdotal experience, is a minor player there.
Well I think buying it was also to the benefit of everyone else using .dev locally. But oh well.
