This article does a good job of explaining which age groups are susceptible to Corona virus: https://www.vox.com/2020/4/1/21203198/coronavirus-deaths-us-...

To put things into perspective, in the flu season 2017/18, Germany had 25,100 deaths (source: https://thegermanyeye.com/flu-vaccination-penultimate-wave-w...) while they currently have registered 1,584 deaths due to Corona virus. So yes Germany has probably saved some with the current measures, but should we then close down the society each year to combat the common flu as well ?
I've been looking for something like this for years. Never found it during my googling. My google-fu is weak :(

BTW how does the sync work? Does for example AWS expose a (free or supercheap) way of getting the SHA1 of a file on S3?
Thank you for taking the time to explain :)

And yeah, zlib is a weird one. It's listed as zlib1g sometimes and the files are libz from what I remember

I have a followup if you don't mind. I'm trying to rack my brain for old confusions I've had... For instance I look up libssl. There is a libssl-dev, but no corresponding libssl. There are other libssl libs but all the names are inconsistent: libssl1.0.0 with no libssl1.0.0-dev and then there is a libssl1.0.2, but it has no libssl1.0.2-dev haha. But I do see a libssl1.0-dev and when I click through it have 1.0.2 as a dependency... So what's going on?
> It seems to me that the use of the term in the headline was deliberately obfuscating clickbait

I think this (mis)translation was fairly widely recognised before this article was written, so it's probably just using the familiar version in the heading in preparation for clarifying it in the article. Reasonable enough I think.
I've been learning lots about orbital mechanics and rocket science thanks to Kerbal Space Program. What a sense of accomplishment with each step

* made it to orbit

* flew by the moon

* crash-landed on the moon

* landed on the moon and returned with the stranded astronauts

* landed on Mars (stuck there for now sending back science experiment data)

* flew by Venus + Mercury

* Took a sample of two different asteroids

* Shot a little refueling space station into orbit and successfully docked to it with other ships

Borg does the backups. Rclone is for syncing data, which is not the same thing. For example, Borg does deduplication of the data. It also let’s you see different versions of a file. IMO, syncing can never replace backups.
> I hope you're right, most of what we know about Plato's teachings came from his students that took good notes.

You're thinking of Socrates, not Plato. Plato is the one of the few ancient writers where it's believed that basically his the entire body of work has been preserved. What we know of Plato's philosophy, we know from Plato directly.

Socrates, however, did not write anything down: he was famously opposed to the concept of writing, thinking it induced forgetfulness. His philosophy is thus almost entirely known through his students, primarily through Plato. There are a few others (Xenophon was also Socrates' student and wrote about him), but Plato is by far the most significant.

Sorry, but no, you don't get to play a discrimination card here, because if we do, we're almost mocking people who are under real discrimination.

You don't agree with Discord's practices and lack of privacy, something which, by the way, I agree with you, and as such, decide not to use it. They are not discriminating against you, you're the one deciding not to use their service. To me, it sounds the same as if you don't like McDonalds because it's unhealthy, then accuse them of discriminating against you because they won't serve you some lean chicken salad.

I’d argue that having the internet limited to a handful of gatekeepers, all of whom are sustained by ad dollars, is probably far more responsible for ruining the internet.

I find it hard to believe that in a world where Google and Facebook’s users were its customers and not its product, it wouldn’t be able to find a way to combat SEO effectively, especially considering how they are basically hoarding the majority of the smartest people in the world.

Trying to learn or build my skill around music production with Ableton. I've been in a alternative metal band for almost 8 years, but electronic music has always interested me since I have quite a few ideas in regards to melody and stuff like that (I'm the singer in my band).

I just applied to a course from Berkeley trough Corusera, and they are really great, but I'm not trying to rush trough, as this is my main way of trying to learn, making me lose interest because of the overflow of information.

If anyone has any good books, courses or tutorials on this, that would be a great help too :)
I would not bother to host email service for one user. You have to keep up with all updates and vulnerabilities on daily basis.

You don't have enough volume as well and it increases your chances to be marked as a spam. Self-hosting is quite pricey because you have to care about your IP reputation (and you can't really gain any reputation if you send couple of emails). You can't use cheap VPS providers because most likely IPs from them will be marked as increased chances of spam.

If you really want to go with the self-hosting route, configure your server to accept email but when you send, send it through large email providers like sendgrid/amazon ses or so.
Too complicated I think. Needs to be an easy install AND run on a raspberry pi.
I find it really hard to believe that you don't know any other search engines than goolag and haven't tried them.
Given the amount of fake information floating around and the impact it will have in such scary times, it will be better to have control on it. Granted that we must not stop alternative points of view from bubbling up but we have enough and more people generating fake news and muddying the water.

Given the emergency situation it is much better have a greater degree of control. This is similar to the war time (WW-II) control on news agencies. The situation is similar.

And what would you do if there was a difference?
The study of types is generally done as part of mathematics, not sciences. There are some attempts to study type system impact in real world programs, and ergonomics, which would fall under science, but these are a very small part of PLT.

However, the point of the article was different - the article was claiming that when you are writing the actual code for your program, you are normally using engineering-style reasoning (abduction), whereas when you are defining the hierarchy of types for your system, you are mainly applying scientific-style reasoning (induction).

Personally, I think that the article is a gross over-simplification of every single term - of deduction, abduction, and induction; of maths, science, and engineering; and of what programmers actually do. It is in fact so over-simplified that I don't see any valuable insight into the article at all. It almlst reads like a description of programming from a TV show that is trying to sound brainy.
I totally agree. Google has become useless for about half my searches. It gives me only the biggest, most commercial or most popular results. Anything obscure is impossible to find.

I'd like to have a search engine where you get only the most obscure, hard-to-find content. One where you can tweak the kind of content you're looking for, or even switch between different modes: am I just looking for the definition of a common but complex term, am I looking for a specific article that I vaguely remember a phrase from, do I want something I've seen before, or am I in the mood to discover new, unexpected things?

Also, I just don't want to see results from some sites. Let me tweak the importance of some sites, rather than relying on Google's gameable algorithms.
Huh. To my eyes, the switch version is "obviously" much more clear! It's significantly more compact, with less visual noise you have to mentally ignore. And having the possible inputs and outputs lined up vertically (especially with nothing else between them) makes it easy to understand the logic. Plus, using a switch indicates at a glance that the variable being tested is the same in all cases, whereas with an if-else-if chain there could be any weird expression hiding in one of the conditions.

Eye of the beholder, indeed.

I have been writing an AI for poker playing.

https://github.com/fedden/pluribus-poker-AI

I've been learning about Counter Factural Regret (CFR) and have been using it to iteratively work towards writing a no limit texas hold'em poker playing AI agent. It's still in the early stages but seen success with simple forms of poker such as Kuhn, and have expanded to a form of short deck poker.

I have also been brushing up my web skills by creating a visualiser for the poker state via Flask and Vue.js

Naborly asks landlords to report if tenants are “delinquent” on April rent
There is no question that it was a real problem, details available in the linked post: https://objective-see.com/blog/blog_0x56.html

The only question is different interpretations of “fake”: it is a real system dialogue, invoked by a deprecated API; it is fake in that the text is set by Zoom to trick the user into allowing it to install itself without approval.
With some frameworks (i.e. ASP.NET core) you already have authentication and authorization middleware if you need them and you can use an ORM to map data objects to tables and query the DB with ease.

What benefits would be using the DB over a GraphQL API?
In a weird way, I think Nintendo's approach is basically "Zero to One" to differentiate from competitors, but doing it with cheaper hardware to reduce costs.

I'm not a gamer, but from a business perspective I'm intrigued with their approach.
It's under coreutils I think.
Well, there are other search engines of course, and sometimes they're slightly better. Not great, though.

I'm really itching to start writing my own search engine now.
Certificate is perfectly valid for me. I'm not the OP but curious: what error are you getting?
Yes it can: if your config file is more declarative than simply "lists of command lines". The program can determine what is true of its environment, and can construct command lines appropriately given the data about intended outcome that is stored in the configuration file.
I am quite turned off by the following passage near the top of this page:

> bits of configs can't be reused. For example, while YAML, in theory, supports reusing/including bits of the config (they call it anchors), some software like Github Actions doesn't support it.

I use YAML configuration for Home Assistant all the time, and the includes work just fine. This article is off to a really weak start by saying "config files can not have X, because well they can just fine but arbitrary software Y doesn't support it". Especially damning because the proposed solution is to embed a whole other programming language within your program! If you can change the code of the consuming program, then just add support for imports, instead of adding a Python dependency.

I've done a few world building workshop and magic-system designs[1] workshop in a "nerdy-community centre" a few years ago. The community and interest for this is generally pretty small.

> What strikes me about Nintendo is that their hardware quality is rather lacking. Maybe I'm spoiled by Apple et al., but my Switch feels quite the opposite of premium in the hand.

The Switch is neat and tidy rather than premium exactly, but I do remember the first time I picked up a DS Lite. I was really impressed. The DS Lite (unlike the original DS, DSi, or 3DS) had a double-skinned cover with a thin transparent plastic shell over the coloured one, which gave it a lovely sheeny appearance, and everything just fit together beautifully. The audio design was a delight as well. I loved that this quality was lavished on something "for kids", and that it was so unlike the sort of sterile metallic slabs that companies like Apple would spend the next decade and more designing.
>Either that, or what you are calling a "config" is really a plugin/extension/scripting system

based on Greenspun's 10th rule (Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of CommonLisp.), perhaps sufficiently complicated config system will contain a badly designed plugin/extension/scripting system inside of it.
Every solution is a lock-in. The only way to be free is to do not note anything at all. But then you are locked into the liberty of nothingness.

Note-managment on surface is simple, but in the long run in becomes quite complex. At the end it's not all about data, but also how you access them, how the system handles them for you, how you get them presented, etc. There is low-level stuff like syntax of markup languages, and also high level stuff like tooling for displaying and automation of your data. Languages like org-mode or markdown have quite the high level of syntax, with simple things like text-formating, more advances stuff like tables, links, internal links, and high end stuff like codeblocks, metadata-handling.

And then you have tools like org-agenda or org-babel who work on those features (not sure if markdown has those too), and you build your workflows and life around using those tools, and at some point you are so tangled into an complex environment, that any fundamental change would cripple your abilities you have build over years significantly. And then you are locked-in, even if your data are free and open.

At the end, your set of tools, the workflows you have build with them, the experience you have aquired for specific domains and the habits you developed over the years are your cage that prevent you from moving on to different systems.

Org-mode has many such features, tools and habits you imprison you. There is org-agenda, org-babel, internal links, headline-tags, todo-tags(?), but also the outline itself. Those are the usual popular tools and features, and they are not much used in other systems, and hard to convert when you aim to move out.
This is pertinent and don't think the easy answer is yes, as soon as any other search engine gets big enough the same gaming will occur.
Most humans have a really hard time with exponential processes. They are hard for them to spot and truly understand. So when something goes 1, 2, 4, 8 they see it as linear and when it's doubling with larger numbers they suddenly get it. And then it's too late.
Excellent point Paul! How can we actually do a better job of keeping track of credibility? There are so many talking heads that it is hard to remember who said what and who is or is not credible. You almost would need a Black Mirror style AR credibility score floating in view?

This is true, however governments use expert advice (or ignore it depending on your country).

Common Crawl is the data set to master if someone wants to use the fruits of web scraping without actually doing the web scraping.
I have another "Google is shit now" anecdote: a few months ago I wanted to look up some trivia for the movie "Lord of War". I entered this term in Google, and since there was a game that was just released, it responded with "Showing you results for 'God of War'". No results on the front page had anything related to the Nic Cage movie.
From what I'm reading, I think there are still a significant minority of people who think this isn't an issue. I've had to learn to just walk away from comments on a variety of media where comments such as 'psychosomatic', 'less dangerous than the flu that kills 50,000 each year', 'patented by the illuminati', 'caused by 5G masts', and so on. I ended up deleting my twitter account as I dared try to engage with one UK-based journalist who was saying that 'they' were destroying the economy to serve their own foul needs (everyone under house arrest, total control of society, etc). For me, it's just not worth doing this - it's hard enough being separated from the people I care about, without filling the void with attempts to have a rational discussion with people who seem to be divorced from everyday fact.

You would think this would be the reality check that was needed, but it's not the case for everyone. I guess that is human pyschology writ large, but I'm finding that I just have to watch videos and not even look in the comments as it's just a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories and people being just plain wrong in a lot of places.
Awesome! Thanks a lot for the report and for confirming!
While I agree the pendulum goes both ways - for instance a AWS’s CDK builds templates using your language of choice. How can someone know the tradeoffs without a breadth of experience who thinks they can learn everything they need to know from Wikipedia? “There is no compression algorithm for experience.”
Return an error code.
Also, since the DNS protocol allows ancillary informations, perhaps return additional informations in fields that would seem fit, else in comments.

Edit: this is not DNS over wikipedia. As other pointed out, there is no DNS involved in the linked artifact. One option would be to show alternatives with dates and let user choose.
It's a good point, though, and one I heard earlier. Spritesmods used multi-page articles from the beginning (which is nigh 14 years ago now), initially because, I dunno, more of the web was like that? Later, when I needed the money, it was because I liked header ads more than long articles with interstitial ads. Now I don't quite need the money anymore, maybe I should throw out ads and either default to everything-on-one-page or at least give that as an option.
I meant using Xlib, the client library for X11, which is going to always be available if you are using X! You can of course implement the library parts yourself, but that is more boilerplate.

Plaintext has no worth by itself. The pwoer comes from what you use the plaintext for. Org-mode has many tools and functionality build around that plaintext which must be replicated outside of emacs when you wanna move away.

I mean ok, sure, if all you do is maintaining a plaintext-file with a specific syntax and doing everyting else in your head, then the plaintext is good enough, but then you don't need org-mode at all. Then you would be back at the papertrail.
Not just "allowing", but directly causing. Google were the ones who first monetized links by treating them as a search signal.

As soon as links became a signal to search engines, they stopped being an organic expression of page authors.
