I made something like this a while back for myself, and it worked all right, but I ended up never even using it myself. The main problems I had were:

- You end up with multiple sources of truth for what's happening to your email. And/or you won't be able to easily edit your filters from multiple machines.

- Either the source code or the generated code ends up being hard to read.

- There's imperative (and sometimes counterintuitive) behavior in Gmail regarding labels, and that can interfere with declarative reasoning.

- Filters have a size limit! So you might need to take that into account if you have complicated filters.
That's more cases for sure over the last few days, but it's not exponential growth (yet). Sure, it's likely going to grow like that, but the recent data isn't evidence for it.
This up-to-date one seems to be putting PHP in a large lead with C# then Java following: https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/programming_langua...

We've drifted from just compiled languages here, but the most important server-side language to know is probably PHP. Personally I've really enjoyed working with Drupal.

Most of the comments I've seen from authors have been pretty negative.

My limited understanding is that previously they had a 1:1 backing of physical book to what could be "checked out" digitally. Now with the NEL they've removed this backing and are duplicating copies without a physical book to match.

I'd really hate for the internet archive to run afoul of the law here and have it impact the other legal archiving that they do.

Given how many people are still sharing their stories of "I am symptomatic, and I can't get tested, because I'm not literally dying in hospital", I daresay, we are not doing a good enough job of it.
Thanks for the reply; did not think about that and after all that is the crucial characteristic of what allows GPS to work: now does it depend on the GPS module? Or can phase and Doppler shift be accesses regardless of the device?
Guidance against wearing masks for the coronavirus is wrong – cover your face
Some airports already checked your temperature on entry. It might become more common now.

With all we know about our citizens I would love to see a wordlwide pandamic prevention travel policy that isn't activated but rather part of the fabric of travel. It could be automatic to start screening and potentially banning travel from somewhere reporting an outbreak.

Instead we had to wait for all the dominoes to fall and the lethargic arm of bureaucracy to move into action.

With a more rapid and precise response we might be able to avoid huge shutdowns like we have been seeing.
There was a marked decline in attorney’s ability to utilize private detectives to spy on opposing parties or to present still shots as alabi’s that started (at least in my area of the US) somewhere around 2005. I’d say it took a while for the distrust of stills due to the possibility of generic ‘photoshopping’, but actual and test juries are less likely to definitively base decisions on stills if the opposing lawyer can in any conceivably reasonable way claim it’s edited.

As a side note, I am less concerned with the use of deep fakes to frame (civil or criminal) a person, it is more the potential for an attorney to put big wholes in a jury’s trust of video evidence by showing a faked image as counterproof and then flat out telling jurors that one is fake and therefore the other side can’t prove it’s case.

Caveat -> this doesn’t apply to police generated evidence, because a majority of jurors, to a statistical certainty barring exceptional circumstances, ALWAYS believe cops.

Walmart is also tied for my top spot for in-person shopping during this. Walmart gets that spot because of their mobile app which does a pretty good job of telling me what is in stock at my local store.

My other top choice is a small (three store) chain in Western Washington called Central Market [1]. (If the name seems familiar, it may be from season 10 of "Top Chef" which was set in Seattle. Top Chef normally sends the contestants to Whole Foods for most shopping, but this was before there were any Whole Foods in the Seattle Area. They used the Shoreline Central Market instead).

They don't have a mobile app or online way to check stock that I know, but they seem to be doing the most of any grocery store I've seen to deal with the virus when it comes to in-store shopping.

1. They've got separate cart return and cart pickup areas in front of the store. Every cart returned gets disinfected before being put into the pickup.

2. They have installed plexiglass shields in the checkout lanes between you and the cashier.

3. They have prominent marks on the floor for you to stand at while inline that provide good spacing.

4. After each customer checks out, they disinfect the conveyor belt area and the credit card terminal area.

They are also nowhere near as crowded as Walmart, and the people that shop there seem to be paying more attention to social distancing.

[1] https://central-market.com/
Apart from those examples cited:

1. Are relatively homogeneous populations, unlike say NYC.
2. Have a long term behavioural and a culture of wearing masks in public due to pollution and recent experiences of epidemics such as SARS or MERS.
3. Are relatively authoritarian societies unlike the free-wheeling freedoms that U.S. citizens experience.

Why would you use them as counterexamples to what the U.S. population should adapt to in short course? It is almost as if you picked the populations that are accustomed to social controls and regular mask wearing, which is very effective, and use that as a dig against a novel approach being applied to the U.S. or indeed the rest of the world outside Asia as being the norm.
Too bad the surplus came from cutting the emergency preparedness programs that ought to have been funded by a surplus.
Worst timing for me to be on the job market. Right as the pandemic hit, I got 3 separate job offers for Rails that all got subsequently delayed due to the city (philly) shutting down or because of the virus impacting customers for the one remote offer i got. They're all saying 2-4 weeks delay, but this is likely going to stretch on for months if we as a country don't making testing readily and frequently available to everyone. Easter is out of the question.
the reason why it's not popular is probably because of the controversy it have before
This restriction ("The restriction applies even to Japanese nationals returning from the United States.") isn't the restriction on entry that the headline is about.

This is an existing restriction which requires self-isolation:

The government had already started moving from March 26 to restrict entry for those entering from anywhere in the United States.

The restriction applies even to Japanese nationals returning from the United States.

All new arrivals are required to self-quarantine themselves for two weeks at their homes or hotels and other accommodation under provisions laid down by the head of the local quarantine office.

The new restriction applies to "all foreign nationals travelling on U.S. passports or who have been in the United States for the past two weeks."

>JS with JIT is waaay faster than Python. Not “between python and java” as purported.

You are correct that JS is not between Python and Java. Python is faster than Java which is faster than JS. Though some people seem to think calling APIs written in C is "not Python" but if the ecosystem provides the library and I call it from Python then it's Python enough for me!
Unfortunately we know how to make more people but not necessarily how to restart a first world economy. And losing old "non-contributing" demographics is much less costly than the young which delays economic consumption and growth by 20+ amount of years to raise and train. It's crass to mention, but these are real considerations. It's down to: you can't work if you're dead, versus you can't work if modern society breaks down and you're dead anyway.
I would like to have per-application egress control on linux without containerising everything myself or writing baroque filtering that is undebuggable. I shouldn't need to trust every line of code in some massive package just to run it safely -- and I shouldn't have to tcpdump it to see what it is doing on the network.
Watched it, no surprise regarding effective measures:

- Good hygiene, especially after going to relatively crowded areas, ex. your local grocery

- Reduce the frequency of commute to said areas

- Social distancing

The video is worth a watch though, I would recommend it if you can spare the 25min.
Nobody uses the same arguments for handwashing, even though they would apply. It sounds like education is what's lacking, aside from masks.
You can't look at Spain and USA without considering the total population.

As someone in this thread pointed out: http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/

Take a look at the charts of cases/1M people. It is obvious that US will have more cases simply because of the population.
> iirc it actually had/has a half-decent package format, but no manager or central repository for packages. The latter two are basically obligatory these days for a solid code editor, in my opinion.

Yes, and yes, and yes. :)

> Really all that I want is a hook to run a shell script on save that runs the current buffer through mix format or rustfmt or whatever. Is that more feasible?

It would totally be possible, with the caveat that this is where you hit the one thing that does look really creaky: BBEdit's native scripting language is AppleScript. You can "attach" scripts to every single menu item, to several kinds of events (including both before and after saving a document), and the script could basically just be a wrapper around a shell script, but AppleScript will unavoidably rear its verbose yet inscrutable face.
> at the time it was obvious to everyone that he was being lazily framed

Yeah, and what a good thing it was that everyone was in agreement about the obviousness of him being lazily framed. It would have certainly caused a certain amount of discomfort and cultural strife if people disagreed on a matter of such importance. I can't even imagine what it would have been like if such lines were drawn largely based on race. Thank goodness it was all obvious to everyone.
NY will probably end up being the most severely affected
by this virus out of any state/province-level governing region in the entire world. We will cross 3k cases per million residents tonight and growth is still climbing. You are simply not going to be able to convince me that the guy in charge is doing a good job, no matter what kind of reasons you bring up r.e. homogeneous populations or whatever. That's post-hoc rationalization as far as I'm concerned. Results matter and that's all there is to it.
That doesn't make any sense given that this applies to all those who are self-employed, not just those getting paid via Uber and Airbnb:

> In crafting their coronavirus aid package, lawmakers in Congress opted against wading into the thorny war over who qualifies as an employee. Instead, lawmakers set up a fund focused on self-employed workers affected by the outbreak yet ineligible to receive traditional unemployment insurance.
Not sure what the situation is but because Clovis is a black swan event Canada has expanded the Employment Insurance to include small business owners, who are normally not eligible.

I believe unless Airbnb host and Uber driver seek on going EI benefit, they shouldn’t need to pay.
Plenty of folks in the DEFCON crowd could be building free tools like this; off the cuff, a lot of anti-fascists probably don't have access to high quality OSINT analysis tools, and certainly aren't persuing Palantir contracts.
They have a partial DMCA exemption (from the US Library of Congress) and are legally recognized as a library by the state of California. Since (until now) they functioned like a library - you had to "check out" books and then return them - they've probably skated by without much trouble. They have taken down content in response to DMCA claims before.

This current measure is beyond that, my guess is they're just willing to take the risk that somebody will sue them.

What exactly you see as lies?
I think what you need to consider is how that opportunity looks different than the business models that SaaS overtook, and how it solves the problems that led to those models being overtaken. I'm sure SaaS isn't the last software business model we'll ever have, but your response to the list of questions read to me like it lacked understanding of why SaaS won the most recent battle.

Thanks for the list. Angola looks an outlier, though. Would it be Andorra instead?
I think they are the same. Airbnb certainly be a full time job be, just like Uber.
My personal stance is that a lot of small businesses should close down. They're not doing well, they're not paying well, customers give them money not because the product is good but because they're supporting businesses. They have a poor future for themselves and their employees, they're not happy, and are dealing with sunk cost, pride, and family pressure.

If you're in that group, don't take the money. Close down and blame the lockdowns.

If you're not in that group, take the money. If your business is growing. If you're planning on paying staff well instead of skirting labor laws. If you make products that improve someone's life, and want to use that money to make more of such products.

But personally, I don't need the relief money so I procrastinate on it a bit, in case it's limited. It puts me at the bottom of the pile when it goes through, so if they have to pick one out of two, it deprioritizes me.
So I think the US is missing two important things:

1. Preferential voting rather than first-passed-the-post, which is an idiotic system designed the maintain the status quo; and

2. Mandatory voting. The level of voter suppression in the US is simply staggering.

But having a multi-party system doesn't really solve anywhere near as much as you might think. Other countries have this. Israel being one. And there you have single issue and single interest parties who hold a disproportionate sway because they only care about one thing.

In Australia at times we've had a small party (2-5 sEnators out of 76) who hold the balance of power and whatever pet issues they have have to be addressed, which is fine if you agree with them but not so fine if you don't. In times passed this has included the Australian Democrats (whose bargain with the Howard Government to pass GST also led to the downfall of the party in big part) and the Greens. But it could just as easily have been One Nation, a dog-whistle anti-immigration, pro-White party that looks like a real "pioneer" in the Trump era.
Those validation rules are scary to look at. They are cryptic strings that express some limited form of logic in that can only be verified at runtime. Is this the state of the art for Go?
What about part time employees. They often don’t have benefits, or much less.
Not taking any of these measures is highly effective at failing to control the virus. We're currently seeing it play out across Europe and the US.
Solar and wind cant give us the power we need and its not cheaper because it will need backup from coal, oil, gas or nuclear. In fact the more wind and solar the more expensive it becomes exactly for this reason. Wind and solar provides less than 1% of our energy needs.
the only metric that seems to differentiate any country that has "done well" vs "done poorly" is how quickly they acted.

The actions overall follow the same trend - it's how quickly you took those actions and how sever you made them that matters.
The design of JavaScript is not very friendly to high performance. Even though Java is itself not easy to generate efficient code from, producing efficient code from JavaScript is far more difficult.
Avoiding the source parsing step would only provide a startup time performance win. JS engines tend to be faster than Java here already since it's something they've been heavily optimized for.

It's difficult for JS engines to match Java's performance without type information to work with. This is only discovered at runtime and the JIT'ed code for a function requires traps in case it is later called by parameters of a different type.

Does mandatory voting make things better? My unresearched fear would be that the people who don't bother to vote without mandatory voting are even less informed than the low-informed masses that do vote. If that line of thinking is correct, then it implies that mandatory voting would swamp the polls with masses of people who would be the most easily swayed by political advertising

I’m going to say it’s not effect immediately because it was severely impact people who are already in transit ?

I also think that while the case rate is on the up there, people were being much more careful then in other countries and everyone was wearing masks. I think the mask and hand sanitiser thing helps.

Japan seems to be making a rather large number of masks domestically (tens of millions) and has secured 600 million already, so it’s a luxury they can afford it seems. Here is the source:
https://www.meti.go.jp/english/covid-19/mask.html

Edit: I’m going to go out on a limb and say, it seems very probable that wearing a mask is helping stop the spread of the disease pretty dramatically. We will find out in later studies I guess
There are no supported drivers for it as far as I could find. The common answer is to use psycopg2cffi, but that hasn’t had a commit in like 4 years. The alternatives I could find were in the same shape or worse.
No, it shouldn't.

So, here's a thought experiment:

Start a company who's mission is to provide batch processing of hardware tests for their clients. Test jobs are submitted online with a packaged version of the software and a test script written in some job control language.

This company has a huge warehouse (to start with) of all sorts of hardware. Every port and connector (ethernet, USB, HDMI, PS/2, serial, etc.) is hooked up via a giant network to a central server.

The central server can then run the batch test jobs. It will deploy the software, and can even simulate interactive execution by routing keyboard/mouse signals to the device and scanning the display output signal.

Obviously, sometimes the hardware will have to be reconfigured, thus reducing turn-around time, but clients can pay extra to have hardware set aside that is set-up in their particular configuration.

Eventually they could build up a library of emulators which have been empirically tested to match actual hardware behavior (rather than the spec). Hardware that has been emulated can be tossed to allow room for new hardware. Customers might even be able to run on demand tests in "the cloud" using just the emulators.

> if your economics are such that servers are a bigger cost than payroll

Sorry, and I may be oversimplifying the author's situation, but this really sounds like a case where you need to not be using JS for your server. On the client you don't have much choice, but on the client the pure-JS performance rarely gets tight enough to warrant this degree of micro-optimization work.

Author makes some good points - it would be great if the JIT were more profiler-friendly - but I have to question a little bit how important it actually is, the way the use-cases line up.
Mandatory voting is necessary in the US because of the amount of voter suppression. It should be hard to stop someone from voting.
