> With vanilla JS it's the wild west

The thing I really, really like about Vanilla JS is that it has 0 (zero) dependencies.

If something breaks in Vanilla JS, you know with 100% certainty that it's your code that's failing. With a framework, it's mostly the fault of your code - but there's always an outside chance that it's somebody else's fault, buried deep in some 3rd party dependency that may-or-may-not have been maintained.

I like React and Vue (I love Svelte!) - on a well-planned project they can perform miracles. But I see no reason to hate on Vanilla: it has its place too ... if you know what you're doing.
You cannot simply extrapolate trends ad infinitum.

You have to look at the vulnerable industries, and assume percentage of those jobs will be lost, up to the limit of that industry.

...but certainly, the longer everyone stays home, the more industries will be sucked into the void.

Ultimately, we will have no choice but to advise people to go back to their lives, despite the risks.

The government does not have the ability to bail out every single industry in the economy.
Most do, but in Zoom it’s off by default. (Waiting room)
A better analogy would probably be a router, of which many you need to power cycle or they dead lock.
So what's going on? This article claims that millions of N95 respirators located in the US are queued up to be shipped overseas:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2020/03/30/i-spent...

> By the end of the day, roughly 280 million masks from warehouses around the U.S. had been purchased by foreign buyers and were earmarked to leave the country, according to the broker — and that was in one day.

> To his knowledge none of the masks had been purchased by buyers in the U.S.
Maybe I misunderstood whether the OP was referring to this particular article as 'content marketing'.
An important Zoom feature is that you can dial in from a regular cell phone / landline and conference phones. That's one of the selling points of Zoom.

There is a perl oneliners book from nostarch press
VERY roughly:

- bring a full Bonavita kettle to 205f

- hand grind 16-20g beans to roughly ‘beach sand’

- bloom For 25 seconds by while slowly pouring and simultaneously agitating

- fill to the top with water

- start a 25-45 second extraction at the 110 second mark

- top off the 20oz porcelain cup with water (by this time it has cooled to around 195f)

- push out the puck and rinse

I use the inverted method.

I also use a hand grinder because, uh, I sorta like the meditative aspect of it. And I do think you can get a higher quality grind for cheaper with manual grinders. I’m not willing to spend the hundreds on a nice electric.

Maybe I’ll do a video of this process at some point!
gotcha. that's recent, iirc, like... in the last year? weren't many companies already doing 'HSA funding' as a benefit before that? Was it just taxable (but... contribution to a HSA would be deductible for me even if the income is initially taxable, so would seem a wash?). I understand this is the actual insurance though.

There are several points with which I sympathize here.

>> Everything feels like a meeting

Yes. Even more now than ever. Especially talking to family and friends over Zoom/Slack/GH after spending all day talking to coworkers over Teams. Now that we're all work from home there's increased pressure to ensure we're online and available. We have persistent Team meetings set up that we'll drop in and out of as time permits. Sometimes I just like being alone with my thoughts. When everyone was allowed out and about I could sneak away as I wanted to. Not so much right now.
Just-in-time manufacturing, increased global trade and offshoring of manufacturing capabilities, incentive to downplay the severity of outbreaks to avoid scaring the stock market. All of these things have played a role on making responses harder.
I don't see how this refutes the argument. These proxies and firewalls could just have a copy of the decryption key, no? (And if whoever is setting them up doesn't have access to the key, then they probably shouldn't be inspecting the packets anyway)

I'd say that the bigger argument against "nothing is worse off if it is encrypted" is that this takes precious time.
Sure, but that's a problem for everything. You'll struggle to build a modern cloud architecture without at least a few people with extensive experience with the cloud.

You can get pretty good mileage following industry best practice -- pick React, pick TypeScript, and pick the most popular tools for each.

Apparently many local Chinese, including the government of a neighboring province, do not believe in the reported numbers.

Recently on March 25, the central government ordered to end the isolation imposed on cities of Hubei (the epicenter province). But the police from Jiangxi province (which borders Hubei) blocked the people from Hubei for fear of epidemic, resulting in a clash [1]. One reason why Jiangxi distrusted the official propaganda is that the Beijing government still have stricter measures for Hubei residents.

[1]: http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Clashes-and-protests:-Hubei-r...

And regardless of the trust issues, the numbers from China may be measured differently from other places. For example, asymptomatic cases were not reported as positives, deaths due to complications did not count towards COVID-19 deaths, etc.

The original poster said "plain old PHP" so without making assumptions I am taking that statement at face value.

Still though, auth is just one arbitrary requirement I plucked from many that popular frameworks solve such as request handling, response rendering, database operations, routing, etc.

Yes, you can use a hodgepodge of libraries to solve these requirements but your argument that your codebase will be leaner than a "heavy framework" using codebase gets a bit flimsier in my experience.
Some but mostly we relied on my expertise and a few others who've been thinking hard about these problems for a long time. We've been thinking about sharing some of our insights but haven't yet.
I get your point, but I don’t think Inter is similar enough to Circular to be a replacement for it. Inter is more of a San Francisco replacement in my book (which is how I use it on one of my websites—SF for Apple devices and Inter as a fallback). They’re both pretty, but Spotify’s UI looks very different than a UI set in Inter.

> It's violent in the way that telling someone "you're worthless" is violent

That is not violent.
I disagree that it's "brutally" hard, but to each his own.

The main issue is that the need is not well-defined and there are competing solutions that aren't as technically elegant, but as robust and as easily deployed. Competing with them on _P2P_ basis only is really hard. The only real technical benefit is lower latency... and even that may not hold true in aggressively shaped consumer networks. It used to be possible to get a bit of an edge from having near-zero hosting costs, but that's been far less relevant for a while now.

>"high res" (640x512)

In OCS Amiga, Low/High/SuperHigh are defined by the base (as in not using overscan) Horizontal resolution, 320/640/1280.

PAL and NTSC are 256 and 200 lines base vertical resolution respectively, and 50/60Hz vertical refresh rate respectively.

512 and 400 lines are Interlaced modes. The flickering has to do with the interlacing. The improvement perceived with the NTSC mode is due to the increased vertical refresh rate.

ECS Amiga (A500+/A600/A3000) introduces the so-called Productivity modes, which are just the 512/400 lines hires modes but in Progressive, thus doubling the horizontal refresh rate to ~31KHz, while also doubling the DMA bandwidth required.

At full DMA you can form a a palette of 2^2 colors instead of the usual hires 2^4, and unless you have FAST RAM you'll want to keep it at 2 color in order to let the CPU use the odd ram access cycles.

This palette can of course be changed during horizontal blanking, as then the display DMAs are off and the copper has room to access the palette registers, or several times midline if only using 2 colors.

In Productivity mode, as the chip that does actually encode the video receives the same bitrate as usual, the color depth is reduced to 2 bits per channel (from 4) for a choice of 64 colors.

These restrictions do not apply to AGA (A1200, A4000, CD32) Amiga, which are a different beast.

To display the picture from an Amiga today, I do use and recommend the OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter) and a modern monitor with HDMI input.

HSA’s and related tax benefits are a different topic than paying for the monthly health insurance premiums with pre-tax income.

People whose employers offered health insurance got to pay their premiums with pre tax money and contribute to HSA with pre tax money.

People whose employers don’t offer health insurance have to pay the premiums with post tax money. But they still get to contribute to HSA with pre tax money.

>incentive to downplay the severity of outbreaks to avoid scaring the stock market

The Soviets sure were caring about their stock market when Chernobyl happened. Don't confuse generic human nature with capitalism.
I’m involved in a project right now where the cost of licensing fonts has clearly made some people involved nervous. Of course, the cost is hardly anything compared to the cost of the project as a whole. Probably even less than the cost of the time spent finding the appropriate typefaces and get a decision to license it.

I think it’s just that a lot of people are genuinely surprised that typefaces cost real money, because they are so used to sticking to the ones they have “for free”.
Isn't much of this simply ... logical choices in business and / or human nature?

I'm not convinced that people panic buying toilet paper is solved because some other non capitalism like system was selected ... and someone randomly chose to storing mass quantities of TP in a warehouse for decades because someones might one day panic buy TP.

As for downplaying things ... we've already seen that done for a variety of reasons across the board in many nations.
It is possible if you think about it beforehand -- genrally you use a tone and/or a visual indicator to show that a transmission is in the clear (unencrypted). Other clients can then have a mechanism to allow speaking in the clear (sometimes requiring PTT -- press to talk). When encrypted transmission is ongoing, the gateway to the encrypted net may output a 'talk tone' that indicates the channel is busy. In this way a low grade client can join the conference, but they hear nothing but beeps (for a pure voice circuit) or see a busy indicator (for IP circuits) until someone wants to talk to them. When they talk, it is unencrypted till it reaches a gateway, after which it is either encrypted with the gateway key or passed unencrypted. (For radio broadcasts you just hear crackle or nothing.)

Obviously for un-trained users you often have the problem where someone transmits encrypted when they meant to talk in the clear, and vice versa. This is the reason for the 'plaintext' or 'ciphertext' side tones. If someone starts talking in the clear when they should not, another participant may choose to transmit over them, known as stepping on their transmission.

None of this requires there be a group key known by a central server.

I experienced this as well with my Moto G ("falcon"), an ultra popular budget phone from 2013 that was also supported by Cy/Lineage for years after it was abandoned by the manufacturer and carrier.

My own unit finally got itself stuck in a crash loop after two battery and one screen replacements that kept it tottering along.
It was broken for me for a couple weeks, but one of the recent updates (either LOS or Uber, not sure) fixed it and it works fine now.
Sure, as a one time cost it's reasonable. But often these fonts require separate licenses for web, and in those cases the costs scale per view often. So getting slashdotted (or whatever the equivalent is now) can be an unknown cost not just because of the hosting but also because of the fonts.
>So your protocols are open and

You're right but in this case, I don't think your criticism is relevant to why they mentioned "IRC". Maybe I misread their webpage but it sounds like they're criticizing IRC. The full blurb immediately after "We grew up using IRC" is about "message fatigue" and "pain of having to skim thousands of messages":

>We grew up using IRC. We’re a team of engineers and designers that hit message fatigue. We’ve felt the pain of having to skim thousands of messages, and we’re building Quill to solve it.

So it's like they're actually saying, "We grew up using IRC and know all its faults really well and we're trying to fix it."

It seems to me as if having a password could be a useful feature to get additional features for a call. For example, a webinar host could give a password to a select few authorized to use camera/mic during the call, and just the meeting code to all other spectators.

I'm encouraged by the progress in Italy, but don't see how you can avoid having most of the population catch this in the long term without a vaccine. It appears to be very hard to control even with really draconian quarantines which only have an impact after weeks and cannot realistically hold for more than a a few months, esp in poorer countries. I'm not saying don't quarantine, it's essential to avoid really horrific deaths, just that it may not stop the majority getting it in within a year or so.

If it mutates of course that's another problem but this disease is so virulent and the economic damage of effective countermeasures is so disastrous that I cannot believe the world will not prioritise mass vaccinations when that arrives and eliminate it whatever the cost.
The one feature that everyone seems to be missing with these tutorials is a simple tool to have people confirm that they would like to accept the forwarded call...

> The usability of clicking a link

The situations and use-cases behind meeting-software are such that you can't rely on this.

There are many situations where you want to transcribe the information. For example, dialing in as voice-only with a private phone based on an e-mail on your work-laptop.

Or perhaps a conference room at a client-site where the client-guy has their corporate-approved presentation laptop, but he can't find the e-mail/chat message with it. Meanwhile you've got it up on-screen, but your device is not approved for any kind of internet connection in this part of the labs, and even your phone has no signal. (Yes, I've been there.)

> That never happened to me before. I have never once fired, laid-off, or furloughed. And I don't know how to cope with this.

I've been in your shoes multiple times. It sucks, and it's easy to blame yourself (or relatedly, for others - like here in this very thread - to encourage you to blame yourself). Don't fall into that trap. It won't help.

The only productive thing to do is to take things one step at a time.

1. Apply for unemployment if you haven't already. It won't be anywhere near what you were getting before, but it's better than nothing, and with a layoff it should be an open-and-shut case for approval (especially in places like California that almost always err on the side of the former employee).

2. Just because you don't have an employer doesn't mean you don't have a job. Your unemployment benefits are contingent on you documenting that you've applied for some number of jobs, which you're hopefully already doing, so keep doing that.

3. Just because you don't have an employer doesn't mean you don't have a job. Open-source contributions, side projects, whatever you can do to further demonstrate your value to prospective future employers (and - preferably - make the world a better place in the process) - now's the time to start cranking on those.

4. Obviously, you'll want to trim expenses as much as possible. The lower your costs, the longer your runway.

In terms of finding that next job, it's gonna be a brutal affair. It took me months, and I ended up compromising and moving down on my career ladder for a bit. You might have better luck, especially if you were previously getting offers regularly, but I'd say 3 days is a bit too soon to be too disheartened.

It seems like your best bet right now is going to be in the medical world (e.g. hospital IT), and in fact that's exactly where I'd be applying right now should my own job go under. As a bonus, if you really do want to "fuck the virus", I can't think of a better way to put your technical skills to use.
That's a very good point; unfortunately the WHO doesn't have a "closed case" statistic that I can see.
