10+ devs running integration tests/etc that require different xcode targets, branches, etc. I haven't done this in years but it was a pretty basic mac mini farm 8+ years ago when I did do it with macos + ansible. I really doubt it's changed much (albeit 3rd parties like testflight/etc might be better integrated nowadays). It's a huge reason Macstadium, etc exists where you can just rent mini farms.
True but you might have a hard time covering an emergency $1k expense.

There's also a colloquial phrase for it - house poor.
According to a German virologist that was interviewed a few days ago they extensively took samples from houses of highly infectious people and couldn't get any of it to grow in vivo. Are there any cases were we know of surface transmission?

Because from what I have read that is extremely unlikely.
You're partially wrong to think that way. There are many low income people who have no practical way to order essential supplies online. They have no choice but to go out to stores.
I think everyone can benefit from eating less irrespective of if they are consuming fast food or very clean diet.

A lot of people use food for emotional pain management. Consuming food releases dopamine which is same as taking a drug hit.

My girlfriend used to be obese and I learned she felt very lonely and when we got into relationship - she got lot better and now she's very fit.
I work for a very large player in the print industry (which is transitioning to 'multichannel marketing solutions provider').

I feel like my company has done the best they can (given our industry has already been under a lot of pressure prior to COVID) under circumstances. We're in groups of rolling furloughs so folks have not been permanently laid off. While laid off, we still are receiving medical benefits, which is great.

As a remote worker prior to all this, I haven't had to change much of my day to day and our infrastructure has handled the influx of remote workers (thousands) very well.

However, it also makes the prospect of moving to another company daunting. I worked on-prem for years and developed relationships with co-workers prior to moving off-site. I have a lot of anxiety about not being able to create the same relationships at a new company or having to commute again to a city center for work (something I really can't see myself doing unless absolutely necessary). It's a scary prospect and one I think is absolutely possible given the precarious state of my industry and the economy on the whole.
If you’re a US citizen who has been living in the EU and is now being “encouraged” to return home, but have a significant other that you don’t wish to be separated from... what would you suggest?

Should they just go for the 90 day tourist visa and roll the dice on being able to get a fiancé visa, etc later?

Isn't Alaskan real-estate wildly expensive? This lifestyle appeals to me, but any time I've looked into it the prices seem greater than other comparable west-coast land (e.g. Republic, Washington).
Yes, as a general rule, you still should be able to use the approved H-1B petition to apply for an H-1B visa and work in the U.S. and your prior B-1/B-2 denials shouldn't impact your H-1B visa application since the reason(s) for those denials aren't reasons to deny an H-1B visa application. Make sure to retain counsel however because you should talk through your H-1B visa application and subsequent entry to the U.S.
I really with more people used NIM for web development. It really seems like the best of all worlds (e.g. perf, developer ergonomics, productivity, etc).
> This changes nothing.

It literally changes everything, as you're spreading false information. Instead of 20%, it's 3.3% - that doesn't change anything? It's the difference of tens of millions of lives just in the United States!

Yes, 3.3% is still high, but it's not even in the same ballpark as 20%. And not everyone will be hospitalized at once, which is the entire point of flattening the curve.
Oil in Antarctica won't happen because of the price of running and shipping things down there. It's way different than finding a new oilfield in a country with roads and an established supply chain. I don't even think you could build pipelines that go from fields to a shipping port because of the snow and ice.
I'm not deeply familiar with how Rust is organized, but have found their documentation to be useful when dabbling with it. Will they continue updating docs at the same fidelity after this change?
Yeah. The more I learn, the more confident I am that nobody has a real plan, and it's just a fiesta of acronyms and agencies who are only pseudo-educated (e.g. couldn't recite essential statistics about mortality rate once one a ventilator off the top of their head) on the topic.

It's hard to say though, how much of it is raw political ignorance versus hiding bad news.
Every medium to high end TV in best buyw as 4K in 2016. By 2017 it was hard to find 1080p TVs at best buy. Today I'm fairly certain my local one doesn't have any. Why are seemingly tech-enthusiast forums and subreddits more often than not resolution luddites? It's not just here, I've seen this in a lot of tech-related internet places and the trend baffles me.
The opposite. It mutates more slowly than the flu.
How do you make room for essentials in a full warehouse?
Sure they were, you just organize the code in components in server side frameworks.

You get a way to organize your server side code, CSS, JavaScript and flavour of Web API of the month (SOAP, REST, gRPC, WebSocket, ...).

Naturally reusing components across frameworks isn't that easy, but the same problem also happens across React, Angular and what have you, unless you make use of WebComponents, but that only works if targeting the most recent browsers.
Let’s say this is true.

So what? The rest of the world is still a hot zone. As soon as one infected person slips through your net—tomorrow or six months in the future—you have an outbreak again.
He has data, it's on Twitter...
Not to my knowledge, the only other time good looking FMV was used on N64 was in Pokemon Puzzle League. I am not profiecent enough in RSP to disassemble that microcode, though I can tell you resident evil 2's fmv codec came after the HVQM fmv system used in Puzzle League
With data augmentation, we're effectively injecting additional information about what sorts of transformations of the data the model should be insensitive to. The additional information comes from our (hopefully) well-informed human decisions about how to augment the data. By doing this, we can reduce the tendency for the model to pick up dependencies on patterns that are useful in the context of the (very small) training dataset, but which don't work well on new data that isn't in the training set.
> Then this will be an interesting moral lesson for them. If they choose to actually learn it.

For them, and us. Our agency contributes to this problem as well as theirs.
"Our baseline forecast does not see GDP reverting to its pre-virus levels until late 2021 in the US and Europe." [0]

This is quite common, it's often called data augmentation.

For example, most CNNs aren't invariant to skew, distortions, rotations, or even zoom level. So to train a neural net to recognize both 8x8 pixel birds and 10x10 pixel birds, you need to add images of both zoom levels.

Of course, this is a weakness, and there is a lot of research to try to rectify this, like Hinton's capsule networks.

For things like adding noise, in some cases it is used as regularization to make the model robust to noise, in others, such as GANs, models are trained to learn the difference between the generatively created images that are higher entropy from the true images, to refine the model.

But as the sibling noted, and you mention, the underlying data is somewhat the same, so yes, you do need a lot of diversity... but in practice these techniques can be helpful.
WHO, NIH, CDC (google for citations) are stating surface transmission is possible. I have no reason or authority to state otherwise.
Our death rate per capita is substantially lower than China and Italy for example.
If you don't want this unrest, start giving people food. The solution is obvious, and is only unpalatable to idealogues.
> And, IMHO, that's why Apple haven't kept Server.app up to date. There's just no demand for it any more.

This seems to be a primary driver of the software-rot found all across Apple's ecosystem. iOS is generally pretty well-maintained; macOS less-so. Apps like Music are kept in better condition than, say, Podcasts. Etc. You can almost directly correlate how unpopular a piece (or feature) of its first-party software is with how buggy it is. Which I guess makes some amount of sense, but it really tarnishes Apple's image as a company selling high-end products.
Your 2011 plasma is far from color-perfect. It wasn't when it was new, and it's likely degraded in 9 years.
For those without saving lockdown means that everything is paused. Right now in many places landlords cannot charge late fees, services can't be cut off. Additionally there's lots of sympathy for those in need. While isolation persists we'll see more programs like NYC provided 3 meals a day.

Once isolation ends then the bill collectors will start coming and the free meals will be come rare but people will remain severally unemployeed.

The people with no savings are the ones that are going to most want this to last since there's no going back to the way things were right now. Many of the jobs lost will not be immediately replaced when the isolation stops.
You do understand that the outbreak has exponential growth which has not peaked anywhere? Even NYC cases will likely double this week before their peak. If anywhere in fact is "over capacity" now then they'll be in much deeper shit than they are now, which is already pretty deep.

I'm not sure what you mean by "over capacity", either. If you're talking beds, ICU slots, and ventilators, maybe not yet. If you're talking lack of staffing, lack of PPE availability, general workload, then I think many are straining or over capacity now.
All this is technically true. As long as you believe that you will never ever under any circumstance send the same video chunk twice under the same key, you get all the security guarantees of a real CPA-secure (=> non-deterministic) symmetric cipher. But 1. I don't think this is a reasonable belief, and 2. even if it is, why chance it when you can use CTR mode and a random nonce, with practically zero overhead?
Hi Peter - for someone on an O1, are there any options to extend the end date in light of covid19 and not being able to re-enter the country for a significant amount of time, separate to the 1yr extensions done near the end?
If your life depended on getting a flat screen TV, capitalism would ensure that it costs you $25K if you're uninsured, or a $500 deductible if you're insured, whereby your insurer pays another $8K due to either being big enough to negotiate, or else being owned by the same company.
It is somewhat amazing to me that politicians don't seem to understand this. The solution is so simple: give people money directly, give money directly to businesses with the promise that they will not fire anyone, and do it yesterday.

Perhaps I'm simply misreading the situation and am in a bad mood, but it seems that whenever we see a government program rolled out, politicians seem more interested in preventing fraud, misuse, and politically sensitive spending than they are in seeing the program actually succeed / solve it's stated problem. This results in layers of complexity, regulations, and bullshit that impede the program from functioning efficiently. I would rather a cash transfer program have a 25% fraudulent claim rate and a 90% legitimate claim success rate than a 2% fraudulent claim rate and a 50% legitimate claim success rate. Politicians seem to want the latter. Further, there were arguments during the negotiations about the 2 trillion dollar bail out about abortions and oil subsidies ffs. These guys need to get their heads out of their asses and join us in the real world.
I think it's mostly to avoid the bad press of having to do triage at hospitals, long-term consequences be damned.
Y'all need to understand what an exponential function looks like.
True, but in germany they disallowed rating macOS Catalina. That's a very shady policy - having a rating system for all developers, but excluding your own most prominent and important software from store reviews. Just one of many hilarious Apple moves.

I already have friends and family members who have died of various causes. We haven't destroyed civilization over it.
We found an agent in our area that specializes in land/cabin properties. You want an agent that is willing to drive with you for an hour or more to view property, and is not afraid to help get the car un-stuck on muddy roads. The advantage of having a relationship with a buyer's agent is that you can move more quickly when a good listing comes on the market. Land with good value will not stay on the market long.

Also google earth is useful, or your county may have a GIS tool on their website you can use to view property boundaries, example: http://maps.boco.solutions/propertysearch/

I strongly sympathize with the Amazon workers. The real problem is that this isn't the first time Amazon has been in the spotlight for worker conditions (there's even a pretty shocking documentary on the subject) and nothing sensible has ever come from it. Amazon continues to exploit humans who have few other choices, and will continue to get away with it.

This whole situation is a really good example of why worker's unions must exist.
This depends a lot on the application.

It seems like a big win for images and other stuff where getting images is cheap, but labelling them is expensive. Less great for (say) drug discovery where running the experiments to generate the data points is the bottleneck.
Perhaps the data is tracking people's movements, and people aren't moving much in their homes (or have their phones set down somewhere).
You're right. So, we can summarize:

* Essential workers - high priority

* Non-essential older people - Should stay in home <- I bet these are the largest group of people that show up at hospitals. People who ignore guidelines despite of being well-off and can afford to stock up.

* Non-essential older people (low income) - Government should do something to provide them with assistance.

I guess on an emotional level it makes sense for people to believe that if we do a good job of social distancing, we will be rewarded by finishing it sooner. That's usually how hard things work. But according to my understanding, there is no such thing as a local end to the coronavirus. Even if some locality (city, region, country) implements such effective measures that the virus stops spreading there, they will still be vulnerable to outbreaks so long as they have enough unexposed, non-immune people to sustain person-to-person spread. Unless you hermetically seal your borders a la Plague Inc., the way for a community to go back to normal life is for a critical percentage of people to be exposed so we get herd immunity under the conditions of normal life.

In short: It's flattening the curve, not shrinking the area under the curve. The better we do it, the longer it will take.

P.S. Since this is inevitably political: in my personal experience the misconception that "the better we do it the sooner we can stop" is being spread by liberal/lefty people who are in favor of strict social distancing for as long as it takes. I think they're trying to rally enthusiasm for compliance, but the fact that this optimistic spin coincides with the political rhetoric from certain conservative ideologues should give them pause. Some politicians are anticipating and subtly fomenting a loss of patience with social distancing, and anything that raises unrealistic expectations plays right into their hands.
> If you ask a capitalist how long, they'd say "lets re-open today".

The economists are flat-out NOT saying this, because they understand that the long-term negative economic impact of an unchecked pandemic will be worse than one which is at least partially controlled.
... and hello infection increases as people line up for them.
That is the number that will die if the lockdowns continue.

If they don't, a hell of a lot more will.
The difference now is it's only a "wild west" as far as app structure goes. Developers still need to put a lot of thought into component composition and app state to maintain a quality code base. Previously you had to do all of that AND put a lot of thought into how to update the UI correctly and efficiently. New approaches and frameworks removed the complexity of that last step.
Azure AD and Intune is good enough right now if you don’t need local servers for apps, and very cheap (or maybe free) depending on what you buy from Microsoft. It can secure a device, apply ADMX files, install applications, and if you need more complexity then you can run PowerShell scripts. It’s not really user friendly, but AD and GPO never really was either.

Did I mention no CALs?
On the other hand, many rural communities are vastly less capable of providing the care for even a small fraction of the big cities. Many rural counties in Colorado and Idaho have the highest rate of death and are most overwhelmed in their states because they have far less capacity.
How about the other symptoms you didn't list?

> Having the urge to avoid things that trigger anxiety

> Feeling weak or tired

> Trouble concentrating or thinking about anything other than the present worry

> Having trouble sleeping

Those are exactly the issues GP is talking about, article even mentioned anectodes of improved sleep.
I agree with you in that the climate crisis and pandemics are major emergencies that require species-level thinking in order to mitigate effectively. That said, your comment could use some context.
I agree that the saving grace in the US is that we have independent state and local officials. Kudos especially to Ohio's governor for bucking the party line and declaring a lockdown in a timely way.

Local officials have credibility right now from being the actual local boots on the ground. Their voices have cornered the administration into admitting, however begrudgingly, the scale of the problem.

Given the administration's incentives, it's good that the institution aggregating the numbers right now is John's Hopkins, and not the administration's VP-led task force.
Nothing blocks you to write CSS and transpile it to Rust at compile time to be designer / style friendly.

That's anyway what the Web world does already with SCSS or the fashion to embed your styling directly in JS ....
We should flag these fraudulent articles, I am not sure the author has any credibility.
One of my previous companies did this same thing, but the meeting where people were being laid off (myself included in that group) was held in the large break room. Everyone was crammed in there while a rep from an outside firm retained to actually do the layoffs read a pre-prepared statement. What made it super-awkward was the vending machine guy was there restocking the Coke machine and no one asked him to leave.
Oh wow I see, thanks, just Googled. For anyone else wondering, it depends, but you need to e.g. heat the utensil to get it red hot!
I'm not sure. Simple mechanics like writing a good lede or headline seem to have almost disappeared.

And it seems to have become acceptable (on both left and right) for a news room to try to "get" a sitting President that they don't like, even if the result is sloppy journalism.

My impressions is that serious retractions (or worse, serious errors without retractions) are far more common now than thirty years ago.

As for MLK, even knowing what we do now, I still consider him a hero. But yeah, journalistic coverage of him back then was pretty uncritical.
Let's discuss this!!
Hospitals are not overflowing. We have 6,100 hospitals,989,000 hospital beds available. And my best friend is a Registered Nurse (California) and says they are not even close to capacity. She also stated what is presented on the news is 100% a lie.
Ditto. Or even an old-school LED that indicates data transmission like the HDD LED in old computer cases. Make it in hardware so that if any data is sent through the wire, it lights up.

This is the world I'm already living in. I got coronavirus in mid-March and have since recovered from it. Now I'm walking about with impunity. I still try to maintain social distancing to keep others at ease, but I'm not worried when people violate it.

If only there were restaurants for me to go to ...

(And yes, I'm eagerly awaiting the blood antibody test because I want to know for sure; my symptoms were pretty textbook coronavirus, but not serious to warrant hospitalization, and hence no test was available for me.)
I hope Apple would not go after this the way of Correlium. Kudos for the impressive engineering!
I think you missed the point. This is specific to anime on netflix. It's difficult to find metrics on this for obvious reasons, but I'm pretty sure people still pirate shows that they're paying for on netflix because of the simulcast problem.
> the vaccine will be well tested and released in under a year.

This is a bizarre misunderstanding of the vaccine development process.
This has been the state of the world for the last ~year, so it should remain roughly the same as that, at least.
The data I've seen so far shows that it's mostly young people with complications. If you're one of those people with such complications, you can self select out and remain quarantined while the rest of the country tries to return to work.

That's not to say that a few young people with no health issues might be harmed. There will be some, but from what I've see thus far, all other potential causes of death in the next year from things like cars accidents are more likely than dying of COVID19 in the next year for those young people with no co-morbidities.

Just saying young people in general have a CFR of 3% isn't helpful.
My heart goes out to all who've lost their job (and those who's health has been impacted by COVID-19).
