> disrupting a public meeting, computer intrusion, using a computer to commit a crime, hate crimes, fraud, or transmitting threatening communications

Uhh majority of those seem highly dependent and mostly disconnected from the actual zoomboming act and moreso with what you do once you're in the session.

Also, I'm not sure offhand what all entail "computer intrusion", but from my brief reading here[0], it seems that they must he stretching the definitions. Are you really "hacking" if you just join a meeting that someone posted openly on reddit, inviting others to troll? On the other hand, I've heard of people being prosecuted successfully for typing /../ in a URL or something along those lines.

Not defending people who do it, at least not on principle, but I'm just wary of the application of those laws. Out of all of them the first is the only that makes any sense, but zoom meetings are public now?

I was in China in 2003 during SARS outbreak, and at that time the Chinese doctors and nurses had no N95s or KN95s. They used thick cloth masks. To get better protection, the masks were boiled in highly salty water and dried. I think this may be useful if you have to wear some homemade masks.

Their philosophy is to use minimal software and all configuration is done in a single programming language file. But it's also written in C which means you need to recompile the app to change config values. They typically provide a bunch of patch files that you can optionally bake into your custom binary, or you can write your own modifications too.

To the conspiracy minded no answer is good enough.
How do you approach planning the projects? Do you just sit and start coding? I can only guess what are the issues are with the information you provided, but I guess you discard your projects because you are not invested in them. People tend to stick to ideas they invested more time and effort.

I think you would attach more value to a project if you plan it first.

Use something to test your idea first. If by meaningful project you mean something that others can use and solve a real life problem, maybe take a look at The Startup Owner's Manual (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13557008-the-startup-own...).

If your idea withstand the first tests and you want to commit to it, describe in general lines what is to be done, describe some general, doable deadlines, maybe use a Kanban board. You should have at least an idea of the scope of the project before you start. Do not think about a finished, polished product. Think about something functional, that is shippable. You can polish it later.
I think it looks like an open source project...
Your browser using just as much, if not more than VS code does so try again. Nowadays an IDE using 1 gig of ram isn't that horrible when it saves you tons of development time with it's tooling.
Maybe unfounded but it's no like I can't see where they are coming from. Neither do I have the ability to refute any of those points.

Unit Testing Dependencies: The Complete Guide
Since I haven’t seen this in the comments so far, I’ll suggest that you begin to reflect on what’s truly meaningful to you. It sounds like you’re able to have a lot of ideas that aren’t particularly meaningful, which are probably ideas you got from the values of your cultural environment. So try reflecting on the following prompts: what kinds of experiences do I want to help people have, that would be truly satisfying to see? What moves my heart and gives me energy to keep going?

With deeper meaning and purpose it will be natural to want to stick with something.

> Has anyone else experienced this, and, more importantly, found their way out?

Science takes time. There might be unrelated other reasons India has it under control. It will take years to figure this out if we ever do (for obvious reasons everyone wants answers now).

My guess is doctors in India have experience with chloroquine because it is useful for malaria, something that Swedish doctors would not be expected to have experience with. If Swedish doctors spent 6 months reviewing all the knowledge India has they might be able limit side effects and see good results.

Remember, the first paragraph is the truth, but not helpful. The second is an educated guess, it seems likely but it may well be wrong.
I'm pretty sure that pretty much all of the people doing that will be using vpns. I mean come on, vpns are one of the most known services on the internet. In the wake of shadowbaning, global silencing by social networks and being penalized on the basis of anything that deviates at least a bit from the norm, anybody who wants to speak like a normal person on the internet has to use a vpn. You can bet that whoever goes way beyond what is considered normal on Zoom will be using a vpn.
> Tell me, why is it that India has this so under control ...

First, tell us why you claim India has this 'under control'?

According to John Hopkins stats[1] (as of 2020-04-06:2200+11) shows India (population 1,600m) with confirmed case count of 4,300.

Meanwhile Australia, who's been relatively slow to trace and test, population 25m, with confirmed case count of 5,800

It's possible these numbers reflect realities, but it's a hard sell.

> ... and are using Chloroquine almost exclusively for the treatment?

This is going to need some even better citations, especially if the implied claim is that they're almost exclusively using Chloroquine for treatment with great success.

My definition is this:

Political—Promoting the influence of a group of people x on some group of people y, often in an insistent manner and often without the critical evaluation of subject matter.

Apolitical—Being opposed, for most x and y, to the influence of some group of people x on some group of people y. When in some unfortunate cases in life, some influence of x on y is tolerated, it is only tolerated because of the subject matter, and not tolerated because of the particular humans that comprise x (promoting them) or the set y (subjecting them).
You tested hydroxychloroquine only or complemented with azithromycin as recommended by "the first French (severly flawed) study" for early symptoms as a containment measure, not a cure ?

I ask because you say you tried but you're not saying what you've tried exactly. Please don't take it personally, It's just I which people would be much more precise when talking about this matter.

The study might very well be flawed and/or plain wrong. But there is also a lot of people misrepresenting it. Which does not help at all.

Also of note, the European study left out azithromycin and is only conduct on advanced cases.

> Also note that even some of those who remain at home get worse later

The most recent example Boris Johnson is in hospital since only a day:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2020/apr/06/uk-cor...

News about him being tested positive: 27 March 2020:

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52060791

at that moment: "the total number of UK deaths 759, with 14,543 confirmed cases."

Now: "47,806 confirmed, 4,934 dead."

That they understand that it's going to grow more: "The National Health Service freed up 30,000 beds by discharging patients who were well enough and delaying non-emergency treatment,[342] and acquired use of 20,000 beds in private sector facilities." (wikipedia)

But they still also hope that the current measures will slow down the growth.

The Nederlands publishes hospitalizations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_t...

All cases, hospitalized, deaths: 10,866 3,483 771

They test less than some countries though, but you can see the factor of hospitalizations against the deaths, and note that deaths reflect many days older (and smaller) "cases" count and hospitalizations are somewhere in between.
I love rclone but a warning: it's real chatty with default settings with S3 -- I have a backup script that was on its way to a $60/month S3 bill that was 99% driven by number of requests not storage space or egress.
> Maybe you need to examine what your true goal is.

I think that's absolutely the most important factor here. People don't finish things for a variety of reasons.

Perfectionism is a big one. It's tied to a fear of failure that manifests as losing interest. If the root cause is perfectionist tendencies, one thing that can help is to collaborate with others. Just doing something for someone, helping them out in some way will often de-fang the perfectionism and self-criticism and drive you towards something tangible.

It could also be boredom. If you're doing X at work day-after-day, maybe it's not a great idea to also do X as a side-project?

I personally am allergic to SMART criteria-- too much association with corporate performance evaluation fuckery, it kills motivation and creativity for lots of people.
Genuinely curious here, how can an IDE be toxic? I haven't heard any such thing before.
The other option is to pull in the one of many libs it there that can understand suffixes (or even write your own... Really not that hard).

As a bonus, your config is more readable.
In the FOSS world, forking is traditionally considered a hostile action. GitHub normalized the name of the action "fork", but it's not the same thing. GitHub forks are part of the plumbing of their Pull Request metaphor and are not true forks. As long as you're submitting upstream and pulling down, you haven't "forked" the tree.
This is incorrect, outdated information. CFR in South Korea is 1.67 percent so far and not all cases have resolved, so that will go up if any more of the people currently in hospital die. (Reminder , H1N1 Flu CFR was about 0.1%-0.5% in 2009)

Instead of thinking I want to make this then immediately coding I would take a step back and write/design what you are about to make for a couple of sit down sessions. Writing and design work are much easier to throw away and start over with than code. When you do start to code try to write the bare minimum of code which lets you play with your tool. Keep a running list of ideas you have as you are making the project. These help keep the motor running when you want to stop later on. Also always keep a document tracking where you were when you put the project down. What problems were you fixing? What is up next? Even if you leave a project for a couple of months having a context building document, an inspiration list, and design documents should be enough to help you pick the project back up. Also if you never finish that's totally fine. It's a process.

This is interesting to me. Do you care _why_ the apps you use are performant, if they already are? Is it noticeably impacting the performance of other apps you're actively using?
Nice job. I was looking for something like this. Bookmarked.
I’m just like you.

I stumbled upon a book called Refuse to Choose and it’s about a personality type (that is definitely not ADHD) that happens to want to do a lot of things (sometimes in parallel or in sequence). It was very comforting to know others struggle with this and this book helps you to be ok with it. I wouldn’t say it “cured” me but I think about it differently now and use it more to my advantage. Worth a read at a minimum.

There was one very profound idea in this book that goes like this:

“If you are no longer interested in a project you started, maybe you already got what you came for”.

In essence, maybe it’s not the finishing of the project you came for but maybe the learning or understanding of how it could be done if it were to be done.

This realization is interesting for someone who exhibits this behavior. When I was a kid, I loved to build legos but after following the instructions and building a kit, I wouldn’t touch it again. As I think back now, it likely was because “I got what I came for” (the challenge of putting it together was more interesting to me than the end product).
Sheldon Axler's acclaimed "Linear Algebra Done Right"

Seconded. Highly recommended.
I've seen a lot of custom made hotplate/pans made by a lot of my hispanic friends families for making tortillas, it's basically a slab of metal on a stove with a handle. I don't know anywhere that makes them since all of them are a kind of "I had a friend weld it for me" situation, but I found that those hotplates made making tortillas much easier.
What top CEOs fear telling America
Instead of tools you might need, applications you think about, and experiments, build something that you definitely want (or, even better, need). Find inefficiencies or deficiencies in your day-to-day that you can eliminate or ameliorate.

Another way is to build something that someone you care about wants or needs. Pay attention to how people close to you (especially those that are not engineers themselves) use technology, and notice when there's an opportunity to make it easier/better for them. Many great projects were born this way.
1. India has a death rate of 2.22 per million people, this is one of the lowest rates of any country in the globe.
2. Not only are they using Chloroquine but their government is so confident in the drug that as of yesterday wont allow its export to other countries.
Yes, for an intensity that is not a power-2 fraction of fully-on, but all the additional flickering is at frequencies that are harmonics of the fundamental frame rate. If the fundamental is high enough that you do not notice the flickering, you will not notice the additional components.
It does because regional fluctuations don't warrant a widespread overreaction.

Recent example: I wanted to find out why the directions on those Banquet pot pies say to let it stand for five minutes. The words on the box say it finishes cooking in those five minutes. I want to find out more about that: why didn't it finish in the oven? Is it cover for liability, so people don't get burned?

All Google returns is page after page of recipes and posts about Banquet pot pies that have no connection to my input. Google used to be so good at this kind of thing. I know the answer exists somewhere because I found it once a long time ago searching for answers to the same question. Google found it then.

I don't understand your comment. What does the IDE Eclipse have to do with Eclipse Theia?
This was me big time. You sound like you have more experience than I did at the time, but what finally made it click for me was taking CS50 on EdX. Not that you should take it, but that it exposed what was holding me back. Any challenge I made for myself I would end up saying 'screw it' when it got challenging because internally I'd think that maybe my idea was messed up somehow. CS50, which I only made it thru 5 assignments, exposed me to having to stick thru a problem, possibly for days until I got it. I felt pressured to complete them because I saw that my classmates were completing them and that told me it was doable. After that, something in my head changed and for the first time I was able to complete my own projects and enjoy that feeling when you build something you came up with yourself. In other words try to get experience sticking thru challenges. Try leetcode or hackerrank, those sites have advanced problems that might crack that cieling for you if your problem is the same as mine was. Just my experience.

It sounds like you are looking for an entitlement system[1]?

In my experience, none of the SaaS providers mentioned help you with this, probably because it's very dependent on your product and business logic. Even with Kill Bill, which has an entitlement system[2], some amount of coding would be required to manage and enforce states like "max amount of users reached for that plan" (the logic would be abstracted from the billing though).

- [1] http://killbill.io/blog/subscriptions-entitlement-billing-an...
- [2] http://killbill.io/blog/blockingstate-abstractions/
I've worked for years at home and only recently at an office. A lot of people blame the kids, distraction, etc, but I disagree that it's the only factors.

If anything, maybe it's just too easy. There's no grist, no driving out, no parking, no meal hunting. The lack of movement makes one lazy, which becomes a feedback loop of no movement. It's similar to how in college study weeks, it's easy to just sit in bed with a laptop all day and yet get nothing done.
dont really know anything about this particular case, but:

Isn't it common for job applications like this to state what they "want", even if they know that it doesn't exist? (such as 3 years of experience with an 1 year old product).

Then they just hire the person who gets the closest to what they want.
