The Eu is monitoring mortality in europe at this website:

http://www.euromomo.eu/

It goes back several years and you can clearly see the last influenza pandemics (2017). It also show the mortality for each member country and of course italy. At the moment there is no increase in mortality there.

They write on their website:

Note concerning COVID-19 related mortality as part of the all-cause mortality figures reported by EuroMOMO

Over the past few days, the EuroMOMO hub has received many questions about the weekly all-cause mortality data and the possible contribution of any COVID-19 related mortality. Some wonder why no increased mortality is observed in the reported mortality figures for the COVID-19 affected countries.

The answer is that increased mortality that may occur primarily at subnational level or within smaller focal areas, and/or concentrated within smaller age groups, may not be detectable at the national level, even more so not in the pooled analysis at European level, given the large total population denominator. Furthermore, there is always a few weeks of delay in death registration and reporting. Hence, the EuroMOMO mortality figures for the most recent weeks must be interpreted with some caution.

Therefore, although increased mortality may not be immediately observable in the EuroMOMO figures, this does not mean that increased mortality does not occur in some areas or in some age groups, including mortality related to COVID-19.
Is it necessarily a problem?

I've actually been bitten more by things that were encrypted without telling me when I went to try to restore things or do some kind of archiving.

Encryption should be explicit and available, but optional in the same way I could leave my front door unlocked.

The forcing of either direction is the real problem
I have found this blog post[1] quite informative regarding Python projects packaging. It describes well how all the tools (pyenv, poetry, black, flake8, isort, pre-commit, pytest, coverage, tox) fit together.

Poetry seems the go-to tool for dependencies management and it centralizes all your package configurations alongside its dependencies in pyproject.toml.

The opposite is true. Virtually no web auth systems are capability based. Maybe security SaaS providers are using it, but relatively spreading, they're not representative of the web proper.
The Dangers of Moving All of Democracy Online
That's a pretty solid guide! It's even useful for me that writes Python (non-exclusively) professionally.

My company settled on pipenv, and we regret it. It's slow and buggy and has crazy behaviour. It's not bad enough that it's worth updating all projects (or rather, there's no good enough alternative) but I regret about once a week having advocated for it.

Note: I think you made a mistake, you say that you can rename or move a venv but then you say you can't.
> the infamous “collapse of the wave function,” wherein the quantum system inexplicably transitions from multiple simultaneous states to a single actuality.

By the way, the "collapse of the wave function" describes as well the transition from one state to another state. I don't understand what do you mean by "multiple simultaneous states".
I've never understood the need for pyenv-virtualenv when virtualenvwrapper exists. To add more confusion there is also pyenv-virtualenvwrapper.

Urgent call for modellers to support epidemic modelling
Agreed! This week I used Jitsi Meet (not the self-hosted version, but I like that I can set that up if need-be) to do just that; contact technologically illiterate family members without me or them needing to have a certain OS (on smartphone, tablet, or personal computer) and set up some app.

Just a modern browser on a device with a camera and microphone. This is how this type of software should work.

It passed the grandma test.

Yeah, that was my first thought as well. I doubt the 68000 could have done any serious encryption.
I am also doing this, so I'll take the liberty of answering. There's a turnkey docker which should take a few minutes to install:

https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet

Put nginx in front of it with Let's Encrypt and it shouldn't take more than half an hour to set up. After that you basically get a clone of meet.jit.si.

The vital part here though is that it remains science-driven. Not all governments have a good record of following science, and the moment they stop, the justification for the harsh measures disappears.

If you're going to overrule or disband the parliament of people's representatives for this, maybe it should be replaced by a parliament of scientists.
technical lead on a project is also determined sometimes by other factors - for example:

developer longest on project by a significant factor is likely to be the leader by default.

developer likely to be on project longer than more experienced developers may be deferred to as leader (at least I often do if I am consulting for a short period and a less experienced guy from the company is on the project for the next year I defer to how he wants to do things)

Often leadership is just going to the most experienced because of course they know how to make their case and defend it.

We tried Jitsi Meet as a back-up for Google Meet in our company for the daily scrum, and it works great. The only nit-pick is the Firefox performance bug, but it's not too demanding to use Chromium for now just for Jitsi Meet until that bug gets fixed.

My colleagues loved the Youtube playback ability (I put on some elevator muzak waiting for the rest to join), although I had to do a bit of hunting to get rid of the video again. :)
It seems you still don't know exact reasons why you were laid off.

> You pin all your direct dependencies in requirements.txt, run "pip freeze >requirements-frozen.txt" to get a list of the versions of all dependencies (direct and transitive), and then you ship that.

What?! Seriously? That is not how it's supposed to work. Requirements.txt is already meant to be the frozen dependencies (like the output of pip freeze). Why change that? I much prefer how pip-tools does it with a new file, requirements.in that contains the unpinned direct dependencies. I thought poetry did the same thing but with pyproject.toml?
UK: Virus patients more likely to die may have ventilators taken away
"Guns, Germs, and Steel" has a go at explaining this.

The role of germs should not be underestimated; the pandemics the colonizers brought and spread (in some cases deliberately) killed far more than the guns. Thus offering the illusion that there was empty space for the taking.
this is an awesome summary; I use python occasionally, and have run into several of the issues you flag in your post, but would probably do it all over again next time I need to put something in production. So thank you for taking the time to summarize things so thoughtfully.

Is there a way to sign & verify initramfs images yet?
No. "End-to-end encryption" does not protect metadata necessary to route the data over a network, just the contents of the communication. The clients could negotiate keys to protect the contents of a meeting end-to-end. In other words, Zoom servers could deduce who was speaking, when they spoke, and for how long, but not what they said.

Your internet service provider can deduce the same about your HTTPS connections.

Just because unions did that historically, doesn't mean they can do it today. When was the last time a Union engaged the federal government for something not related to workers rights (like this) and succeeded? My guess is before Reagan. Before I was born, and I am old now.

Don't get me wrong, it would be nice if they could and did. Increased union power would be a boon to workers. But wanting something doesn't make it happen.

I am also happy to agree that unions used to be much more politically powerful. Though even then, they concentrated workers rights, not say freedom of speech issues. Since at least the 70s, Unions have been crippled by changing economic structures and politicians who don't like the competition. In the 1960s, 30% of workers were in a union. Today it's 13% mostly federal or state employees. Unions in private industry barely exist anymore. Simultaneously, the percentage of votes who are workers (and so might be in a union) has fallen. That double-whammy means they can barely keep their members from unemployment. Expecting them to safeguard to constitution and take on the federal government is (sorry) silly.

Different commands, but it's pretty much the same in similar languages: Ruby uses bundler configuration instead of virtualenv and gemfiles lock instead of requirements.txt. JS uses npm/yarn and lockfie. Go uses go.mod and does a lot of assumptions instead of virtualenv. (these days, it was worse)

Modern languages do pretty much the same, just have a nicer wrapper for it.

I struggled for years to develop an AI that played the computer strategy for Empire.

http://www.classicempire.com/

I'd just run games, look at results, and endlessly tweak the strategy. Recently I learned how neural networks worked, and realize I could finally make a computer strategy that was competent. It could be trained by playing zillions of games against itself.

My only defense is that training a neural network was impractical on the machines Empire was developed on.

It's hard to resist going back to Empire and doing this.
But the reason that Europe had germs is because Europe had dense cities for far longer than the places they were colonizing.
The exponential spread of SARS-CoV2 in the early phase (without containment measures) is a fact. You will not find an expert who thinks its R0 without any measures is <=1, since no data would support this thesis. Look at the curves. Estimates are currently between 2 and 4. As for health care systems not collapsing: All countries have reacted with drastic measures and that is the reason why their health care systems have not collapsed. Some have also better health care systems than others (e.g. Sweden, Netherlands). If you think any country could have done without quarantine or equivalent measures such as constant testing, temperature measurement, forced quarantine of infected, and very stringent case tracking, then you really do not understand exponential growth and how the disease spreads.

I'm not declaring anyone who disagrees with me to have a personality disorder, I have laid out reasons why it is very likely that a certain small percentage of politicians has one. It can be inferred fairly well from what they say. In fact, a certain small percentage of the general population has them, so it would be a miracle if politicians where somehow exempt from personality disorders. Sociopaths lack empathy, so they have no problem weighing other people's lives against any other factor. That is a fact, too. As I said, it would be easy to confirm my claim with personality tests. It's not an outlandish view at all.

This part is misleading: "widely debunked theories that the virus was human-engineered"

1. The lack of a tell-tale sign in the RNA is not proof against engineering. Nobody can ever possibly debunk anything about viral engineering.

2. Viruses can be changed with ordinary breeding. This is how we created the live polio vaccine many decades ago. In that case, we wanted to weaken the virus, but we could easily strengthen a virus. No engineering is required.

3. Even if the virus were not changed purposely by human endeavor, it could still be released by either malice or incompetence. Labs that deal with dangerous viruses do not have a good track record for safety. There is such a lab in Wuhan.
If my brother stole from me, I'd steal it back. If that failed, I could always kill him. Why couldn't the colonized do the same?

The Europeans succeeded in their colonization efforts because they were more technologically advanced than anyone they were colonizing. It is not a case of twin brothers. It is the case of an older brother stealing from his baby brother.

Thank you for providing some clarity on the issue. Apple did not when I read their page here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209110

They merely mention that backups to iCloud happen automatically by default, and not that doing so means the default is that Apple can view and decrypt all your messages.
NPM also has support for C extensions, and they mostly work reliably (the only problems I've had are forgetting to `npm rebuild` when switching between node versions, or when switching between native mac builds and linux-in-docker builds.
Just to clarify the use of phone / telephone: this is the contemporary terminology used at the time.

Wireless telegraphy = Morse code used electromagnetic (radio / wireless) waves

Wireless telephony = voice sent over electromagnetic (radio / wireless) waves; sometimes referred to as radio telephony, although using radio was more common in US and Germany than UK until after the First World War.

And as a few other commentators pointed out, dialling is not an essential part of a telephone.
Raylib 3.0
Hi, I just released raylib 3.0, a simple and easy-to-use library to enjoy videogames programming.

This lightweight C library has kept growing for the last 6.5 years and this new version represents a big improvement of the library.

- GitHub: https://github.com/raysan5/raylib

- Release notes: https://raysan5.itch.io/raylib/devlog/134369/raylib-30-released

If you have any question, just let me know. :)
70 years is way too much. It should be something like 10 years. The idea is to give creators appropriate reward and then release works into the public domain. 10 years is more than enough time to make a fortune off of one's creations. They should have to invent new stuff if they want more money.

What happens today is creators want to strike gold once and then enjoy a lifetime of royalties for themselves and their children. When was the last time something entered the public domain? Probably in the early 20th century. Public domain might as well be a forgotten footnote of history. There's no reason for the public to recognize copyright as legitimate when it's being systematically robbed of its rights.

What if the copyright is owned by a company? I don't know. Do they have to go bankrupt for the 70 year count to start? In any case, they'll probably just lobby for even more extensions before their terms run out anyway.
I tried this route as well first, since I had an Pi 3B lying around not being used. However, after having the Pi-Hole FTL service crashing multiple times a week and completely stopping the whole network from getting Internet access I ditched it. This was using the latest Pi-Hole version on latest Raspian. Some searching the Internet turned up some results about memory usage and such but the logs never showed anything actionable and I gave up on troubleshooting it and just went for NextDNS instead.

The last Labour (UK) government launched the Iraq war, started privatising the NHS, brought in student fees and cut benefits for working people. They supported measures far more draconian than this, including detaining people without charge for 28 days.

The party was founded to empower workers and unions. But that was in 1900. Things have changed a lot on the last 120 years.

>If (hypothetically) Google shut down for a week over this or any other bill, it would not be passed.

Assuming that's true, its irrelevant. No one here can turn off Google (or Facebook or whatever else) for a week. So no one here is being petulant are they? A few very rich and powerful people might be able to. I'm happy to agree they should do more. But 99.999% of people can do nothing but complain.

Edit: FYI, I agree they should get on and unionize. But that will be a multi-year (maybe multi decade) process...

No sorry the BBC we have today is not the BBC you grew up with and the fact that when I buy a TV off Amazon they're informed and start to send me threatening letters straight away demanding their license fee would be considered dystopian and a huge breach of privacy if it were in the US.

I love a lot of the BBC programming from the 70s-00s but I have zero interest in funding anything they're making today. They're not even making anything for me anymore. Just too concerned with trying to compete with the big kids not serving the niches that was supposed to be the advantage of a public broadcaster.
