No, I think most of us realized that. It's still not OK for the CDC to lie to the public, regardless of motive. For a public health organization, the end doesn't justify the means.

Even more concerning are the number of doctors I've seen blatantly lying about the effectiveness of masks. Most people aren't idiots - if the masks help protect medical professionals from Covid-19, they can also help non-medical professionals.

The proper message would have been: masks can be effective, even a bandana can likely help prevent disease transmission. But it's important for Americans to save N95 masks for medical professionals until they're widely available. Given that it's highly likely that wearing any mask helps prevent the spread of the virus by keeping the mask wearer from transmitting it to others, this is what they should have done.

If I could afford it, and if it really work, I'd be a vampire, too. Pay some young people to donate a bit of their blood to a facility, get a transfusion, and you might retain your youth for longer, with a longer quantity of life and longer + higher quality of life? I'm below 30 now, but I'd sign up for such a thing without hesitation even if it bankrupted me - if it truly works and is safe.

Of course it'll be many years or decades before we have any real clarity on that, but if it works, and if it's a negligible, non-risky amount of blood donated by each person which also isn't risky for the recipient, and if it can be afforded, it really feels very ignorant not to sign up, to me. They just need to lower the costs so ordinary people can easily partake as well, not just super wealthy people.

I also get the impression that you don’t know how arrow functions actually differ from non-arrow functions (see above), so your anecdote that you couldn’t figure out the bug doesn’t make a strong case.

Your concern disappears if your method is to compare, on one hand, difference between treatment and nothing, and on the other hand, difference between placebo and nothing. To only compare treatment and placebo directly is of course a methodological error.

PS: By the way, I'd advocate to scrutinize the biological bases of the placebo effect, in order to 1/ use it instead of trying to ignore it 2/ predict accurately its effect and thus lighten a lot the burden of test plans (ideally the tests could not need anymore to be double blind -- would save lots of time and money)

Howdy HN, I'm part of a small team in Seattle, WA that worked over the last 2 weeks to put together a contact tracing app that is focused on user privacy. The app works by recording your location history for a 3 week period and then comparing it against the location history of reported COVID-19 infections. All of the comparisons happen on your phone, so your location history never leaves your device unless you report an infection.

Our app is ready to launch in the Google and Apple app stores, but they have changed their requirements for anything COVID related, which means we have to partner with a recognized institution. We are working as quickly as possible to find a partner. If anyone has a promising contact that might be able to help, please let me know!

Happy to answer any questions as well.

This is a good point.

We might have antibiotics to fight serious infections but the modern way of living is still slowly killing us in many other ways.
Very few countries have populations like the United States as well. We ramped up testing when contract tracing became irrelevant and testing doesn't mean much. People still don't stay home and take this seriously and the worse is still ahead of us.

This is seriously and dangerously wrong information.

Surgical masks are particularly helpful in stopping _infected_ people from spreading the disease.

New information and data on asymptomatic spreaders means that the CDC (and many other Western health authorities) are considering changing their advice. The idea is that everyone must assume they are an asymptomatic spreader.

Additionally, surgical masks aren't the only PPE that medical workers use to protect themselves. Furthermore, hospitals and medical workers need surgical masks for many different non-coronavirus activities.

Maybe there is a way to use this concept of reducing stress with a gesture without invoking supernatural gibberish.

I mean to me it seems totally plausible that having a person there that is trying to help you in and of itself can reduce stress. Also if they touch you, that seems like it could definitely reduce stress also.

Or just the psychological effect of knowing that there are people who care, that seems like it could have at least a minor lasting effect on stress.

The question is can that basic concept work without the mumbojumbo. Or could you sell it without talking about magical powers.
And not only is it far worse than the most spaghettified and surprising program/meta-program you've ever seen, it's also a quine.
Most of these constraints are there because there are a lot of humans and there is really no such thing as unused land. Land that isn't being used commercially is either someone's investment or actively bring reserved for nature. Life as described in the article isn't available for a meaningful amount of people since it requires an enormous amount of space per person. That's a large reason why we stopped being hunter gatherers and started farming. It's boring and reduces your freedom, but if you want to feed billions of people it's needed.
Awesome -- yes please share! For a long time I'd been using a spreadsheet, roughly laid out like the Jeopardy board, with custom functions for scoring.

Some of the biggest early Haxe users like Tivo were explicitly looking for a vehicle to transition off of Flash. That part of it definitely makes sense.

But more generally it is incapable of the kind of end-user tooling that attracts early adopters. This is because it targets everything, and so really using it means knowing the platform you target and being able to debug at both levels - it does what you would expect a best-effort compiler to do, but it does not try to magically cover up what's going on. You can be put at sea pretty quickly if things break several layers down.

And that makes Haxe a great technology and a less great product. When it's paired with a framework like OpenFL it seems to get a lot of interest though. I see it as a long-term "survivor language" since its premise is still valid - it will be able to keep hanging on, gradually accumulating more of a basis for itself.
It's probably mutagen.
Wrong. It's much more nuanced than that.

Surgical masks are not effective at preventing infection. They are effective at spreading infection.

New data on asymptomatic spreaders means than public health authorities are considering changing their advice. The default assumption would then be that everyone has it, and should therefore wear a mask to prevent spreading it.

Every time I see this, the first thing that comes into my head is to wonder how many aspiring developers took one look at this and decided that it was too difficult and that they should try something else instead. That's why I call it a disaster, and I don't think it's hyperbole.

That symfony case makes a bit more sense. Especially in the context of views and layouts. Phoenix view/layout things still confuse me. Never tried learning them so I’ve got one global layout view setup on Bulma (or Bootstrap). It works as I’m doing more of an SPA style UI. I set a title using the controller which feels klunky too, like the put_*_layout setup.

Given Elixir templates are functional you probably could create a view “template inheritance” with a single macro. My Bulma library is intended to be pretty basic, but hopefully you see it’s easy to pass an case with sub-blocks.

I wonder if setting up a macro that could take named blocks and inject them into an EEx template might work for your case of including a view-template in a template. That’d be similar to what I’d like in my library, as it’d be nice to remove the extra “case / block” and just have a “template MyProject.Template, do :header -> <H1>Title</H1> end“. Bonus would be that approach would check block names at compile time! Also you should checkout live components. They’re handy for widgets!
Trump reacted late, and by the time he acted he was slamming the barn door after the horse had left (or more accurately after the horse was inside the barn). The virus came across on flights from Europe just as fast and just as damagingly as it did from China. You can't stop a pandemic like this at your borders. Trying to do so just prevents the flow of critical people and materials and distracts resources from more effective responses.

Testing and social distancing were the steps that were needed on day one. They didn't happen fast enough and aren't happening fast enough.

It is not politicizing things to state the fact that his responses have been slow and poorly informed.

> The question is can that basic concept work without the mumbojumbo

I used to think like that too, but I'm more open that sometimes a story, any story, allegory can be helpful in many contexts, by creating an identity, an aesthetic quality of the thing; help us conceptualize it. Since this in particular is about psychological phenomenon, I think it perhaps shouldn't be discarded. The question would be (if the story is an important part of a working practice) how to keep the story from being confused with fact. I think that's achievable (treat it as a mythology, or something). I don't think anyone would defend the banning of telling stories to children or fiction movies.
Story of Covid-19
The presence of many tools does not make something a shit-show. I have been doing frontend development using a modern toolset for years now and I have not even heard of half the tools listed on this chart and I only actively use about a quarter. And most of the stuff listed isn't some major investment to learn, you just find it when you need it and spend a day reading the docs.

There are plenty of problems with frontend dev but this chart doesn't highlight anything more than searching github for a list of C++ libraries does.
I'll write blog share about this topic.
There are many topics that are difficult and complex, that doesn't mean they're not worth studying and understanding. Just because you take a look at this and think "wow that's too much for me to learn" doesn't mean that everybody thinks that.

Almost more interesting than Reiki itself is the reflexive responses, bifurcating essentially into:

1. it's all mumbo jumbo

2. there's more in heaven and earth, my son

Note that neither group is particularly interested in the empirical evidence, though group 1 will tend to take a louder cherry-picking feint at it.

An empiricist mindset is really hard for humans to inhabit. We (scientistic hard-heads included) judge propositions new to us largely in terms of what we think we already know, and pre-existing metaphysical beliefs weigh far, far heavier than does empirical evidence.

My reflexive reaction is closer to 1 than to 2. But I don't take that reaction more seriously than any old muscle twitch I might happen to have.
Following this chart it looks like I need to set up rabbitMQ and use graphQL before I learn how to set up nginx.
Unfortunately satellite internet systems are way more complicated than you probably think. It can be very hard to tell why a terminal is experiencing issues. Sometimes it's because of a nearby cell phone tower and you have to adjust some terminal configurations to shift frequencies slightly. Maybe there's just a lots of bad weather in that particular part of the country and rain fade is degrading the signal and the terminal isn't transmitting at max power like it should. Maybe your neighbor has a police radar detector in his car interfering with the signal. Maybe a horse has bumped the dish and it's slightly mispointed at the satellite now. Maybe it's an issue on the gateway side. (all true stories).

Unless it's a mass issue across a whole beam, it usually requires some investigation to figure out why an individual terminal state is degraded. And sometimes (more than I'm comfortable with) during the course of your investigation you make the terminal state even worse (because you tweaked some config parameter the wrong way). You can always tell when you done messed up because suddenly you get disconnected from your ssh session or you can no longer reach the embedded web server from your browser. In those cases sometimes the only way to recover is to precisely undo what you did, and an auto-ping-reset will not fix it (unless the system keeps track of most recent config changes or something). Your options are: use udp/tcp proxy or snmp to attempt to undo the config parameter you foobared or send out a technician and fix it on site...

I'm not saying our system is perfect. Surely we could improve fault detection and recovery. I'm just saying one-way communication protocols are real nice to have sometimes because of these scenarios.
Oh, I'm not denying that some hype was justified. Even a very big hype.

I'd pay for a slack add-on that gave my folks "message tokens". If they used a token it would send a message to me and then, as soon as I replied, if would open a 3 minute window for us to correspond. Then the window would close and the convo would be over. 3 tokens per day per employee. would cut down on the annoying stuff.
I've been doing this over twenty years, I'm not concerned for myself. But if you have led less experienced developers, you'll know that their confidence levels can vary immensely. If I showed this to some of the less experienced developers I've led, they would freak out. Just because not everybody is intimidated by it, it doesn't mean it doesn't intimidate some people who would make excellent developers. This is actively harmful.
> That is endemic with society today is that people don't seem to think facts important.

No one said facts aren't important. They said facts shouldn't be the focus.

And what's with "society today"? When was society any different?

> Also a two day communication workshop on how to talk to people. You have bigger problems than how to communicate at work.

There are worse things. People take a whole semester course on compilers and most don't use any of that knowledge. The majority of technical courses I took in undergrad were never used for anything at work. The communications workshop has been more valuable than those.

And about those bigger problems at work? Try solving them with poor communication.

> And that is their problem. Why is it mine?

Because you have to deal with these people at work. I mean, if you're a solo developer who doesn't work in a team, then your stance is fine. If people don't want to work with you on a project, it becomes your problem. The world isn't going to change to conform to how you thinks adults "should" behave.

Speaking of "should":

> If you are an adult you should be able to talk about things as a matter of fact.

This is classic way to deny yourself of agency and put the onus on others. I once told a manager of mine to stop using the word "should" - it's a way of saying "I don't want to deal with this - it is someone else's fault".

> I don't like working with those people so I minimise the amount of time I spend working with them if possible.

And you are willing to disclose this in an interview?

> There is a difference between openly hostile (which is what your example is) and talking about things as a matter of fact.

Sorry, but I was not being "openly hostile". My dismissing remark can be quite factual, as well as my imputation of incompetence,

You conveniently ignored the rest of my comment where the perception this happens is fairly common. No one is acting hostile, but the outcome is similar.
Please don't use the term open source, not even in quotes, if your code is not available under a license that meets the Open Source Definition or the Free Software Definition.
I see a commendable effort, but am very concerned about the treatment of security/privacy topics.

If we educate our front-end developers like that, web security will remain an unwanted bolt-on providing minimum protection and no regard for privacy.

It is a shame these topics are not addressed in more detail, as they will likely remain more useful than the tool of the day.

May I suggest treating that as an opportunity?
