Just bought a copy of this book, and started reading it:

(Authored by the same Scott Page who teaches the Model Thinking Coursera course. I came across the recommendation in a recent HN thread, but found watching videos to be too slow.)
So the jets still have their M61 Vulcans? Then it is a private air force!

I wonder if civilians will ever get to fly an F-15C...
The spike in mortality across northern Italy contradicts your claim that these people would have died anyways this year.
I like this reference style of documentation, it tries to give a full overview of everything there is. Which is usually what I'm looking for. The sections are also concise.
If you haven't seen it yet, this is the same guy that came up with an insanely cool tool to create polymer rope out of PET bottles: https://youtu.be/GSBh77bjz_Q. The older video was pretty widely circulated a couple of years ago, if I recall correctly.
Thanks for your comment, that's something I can relate.

Somehow I think C or C++ wouldn't run into the same problem while I can see this happen to python.
> C has destroyed our ability to advance the state of the art in automatic optimization, automatic parallelization, automatic mapping of a high-level language to the machine. This is one of the reasons compilers are ... basically not taught much anymore in the colleges and universities.

How is C to blame for universities not teaching compilers?
Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for this comment. After reading it I started thinking about what I want from my side projects and realized I need to, among other things, to switch the focus from "what will happen when I finish this" to "what will I learn along the way" and to provoke my curiousity. I've been much more focused the past few days, hopefully it sticks. Thanks!
We've created a lightweight app that creates a custom format of audio + photo + your metadata (tags, notes etc): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.pointo

You can share a specific recording by creating a link valid for 24 hours, intended for p2p sharing.

We've heard people use this for similar things: teachers teaching kids, journaling, voice memos, tracking investment decisions, recipes etc. Limitation is that there's one photo per recording atm.
It should soon or now be possible to define custom editors for file types in VS Code[1], so I think this extension would fit very nicely for contributing a custom editor for plaintext files. I may be wrong, but at first glance, it doesn't look like this extension makes use of that functionality yet.

Haskell is fun, but bear in mind that it's followes a purely functional programming paradigm, meaning you either do things the Haskell or you don't do them :). But it's a fun language to learn, and there are lots of free quality ressources on the internet

Where are you in the World, in my locality (South-West UK) your description doesn't appear to fit.

Wanting lockdown to be enforced strongly doesn't mean one is for totalitarianism. Strong inhibition of movement is necessary.
We acted later than Italy, in temporal terms. Maybe earlier in terms of the infection curve.

At some point there wasn't anything to act on. Cases where far and few between and have been individually isolated for a time. There was no way to find community spread because there was no way to identify other cases without testing millions. And the official incidence rate is still about one in a thousand people.
When I announced my own analytics thing here a few months ago I got quite a few signups from the HN thread, and based on the bug reports, support requests, etc quite a few of the users are just running it on their personal blog. I'm aware of some other solutions as well that aren't mentioned at all in that table.

Personally I found Matomo rather hard to use, I tried it for a while but decided that writing my own was easier than figuring out to get Matomo to do what I want (also: cheaper and easier). I think it's a good alternative for some use cases, but far from all. Related comment I left on Lobsters a few days ago: https://lobste.rs/s/cdrrty/why_you_should_stop_using_google#...
You only know what was published about it. Guess who decided what would be published about it.

You have been played. You have two possible responses, denial and understanding.

Before deciding, consider how you are still being played. The project was a huge success, and has expanded beyond the dreams of its proponents.

Iraq is proof. They even got people thinking that torturing people was a great idea. To this day nobody has been prosecuted for that.
What's up with the formatting on this page? In Firefox for iOS (same rendering engine as mobile Safari), all lines but the first one in code listings have 4-character indents, and lines use a larger-than-normal font size seemingly at random.

Well, TIL as the saying goes. I assumed chainsaw trousers were a kind of metal mail armour, but no. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw_safety_clothing

"The outermost layer [of chainsaw protective fabric] can be made both tough and slippery, to protect against minor damage which could compromise the filler material. Beneath this, long, loose fibres of polyester, Avertic, ballistic nylon or Kevlar are laid in layers. When a saw contacts the trousers, the outer layer is immediately cut through but the inner is drawn out and wraps around the saw's drive sprocket, locking it solid and halting the chain, limiting damage to the operator's leg"
hi there! we originally built this tool for internal purposes (we're making an AI to optimize ground processes in the aviation industry, with our main customers being airlines, aiports & ground handlers) to understand if/when/how air traffic will return (and thus our customers!)

especially interesting for us would be the recovery in China as leading indicator (which, interestingly, so far did not really happen as capacity expressed in seats flown has not really taken off again, despite the lockdown having ended). we will use this as a first indication of how the aviation industry will restart all over the world.

After some feedback from advisors, we decided to publish this dashboard. appreciate any feedback!

Not a good sign.
If enough people stay careful, it is easier to lift the restrictions. As the grocery stores stayed open during the lockdown, we can see that it is reasonable safe to interact with other people, if the minimum distances are obeyed and proper hygene is used. After this model, most other shops should be allowed to open again as long as people keep their distances. Not sure what to do about the previously crowded shopping streets in the city centers. Perhaps there, only half of the shops should be allowed to open on alternating days.
Correction: This isn’t a case of reinfection/reactivation as the woman in context was never tested positive when she was alive.
Not ridiculous. After the first town in north east Italy was put in quarantine (Vo Euganeo) the local governor decided to test the whole town for Coronavirus (a few thousand people). More than half of the infected people where without symptoms.
Definitely not just a USA thing, "transistor" also meant "transistor radio" in Russian back in the day.

> move focus with TAB and activate widgets/buttons with SPACE or ENTER. No different from any terminal app

No different from a terminal app that pretends to be a GUI app :-P. At the minimum many terminal/DOS apps used arrow keys to move between fields and often just pressing enter in a field (often after it was validated), it'd move to the next relevant field. Shortcut keys to move around and/or perform context sensitive functions (e.g. search for product IDs in a field where you are supposed to enter a product ID) would also be available at any time.

I remember my father making a program for his job (for his own use) ~20 years ago in Delphi and he was manually wiring all the events to move around with the Enter key, like his previous program (written in DOS and Turbo Pascal) did and was annoyed that he had to do this manually.

TBH i do not believe it is impossible to do this nowadays on the web, but just like it wasn't done in the majority of GUI desktop apps that followed the DOS days, i also do not believe it is/will be done in the web apps that is done nowadays. The reasons for this vary, but i think a large part of it is that people simply haven't experienced using the other methods to even think about them.
That is from 2004.
I can understand that the specificity of the Indian market can prompt this kind of policy. We, Westerners, would not like it for cultural reasons but we do not have to deal with the Indian reality... However your issue inspires me 2 thoughts:

- On strict business perspective, if your business model and your economic success rely on the ability to apply this policy, your business model has a problem.

- Google and Apple cannot cope with national specificities and their own policies are driven by western ethics and business logic. Do not expect it changes soon...

Maybe you should instead contract with;
- a bank that accepts to insure your income even if your are not paid.
- and a third party company in charge of recovery
Looks like the peak ICU occupation in Germany has clearly passed:

11/04: 2088, 76% on ventilators
10/04(?): 2453, 76% -"-

03/04: 2421, 83% -"-
02/04: 2139, 83% -"-
01/04: 1876, 82% -"-

Can't find data for in between 04/04 and 10/04, since DIVI stopped publishing daily reports apparently, but must have peaked in between.

FWIW, my anecdata includes a 32 year old son with the same diagnosis who still lives with me and our diagnosis (for a congenital condition) dates to May-June 2001, nearly 19 years ago.

But, yes, first-hand personal experience and anecdata are roughly synonymous, though the first one lacks the generally dismissive implications of the second.
For me, "typically" does mean a majority of cases.

I'm "only" a Veterinarian, so I'm not quite current in the distribution of how this works in Humans, but from my understanding it's normally the heart that affects the lungs, not the other way around.

That statement might be true inside a specific context, like infections, maybe.
Heh, it's cute.

Something I noticed is that you can collide with other characters, so if you have three other friends, you can effectively isolated people by collaborating and standing around them, and there is no escape but to reload the page.

It might have to do with the fact that webkit is mostly a deprecated browser?
Unfortunately they surely do, because a large set of developers writes C++ code full of C idioms.

Which is why Google has thrown out the towel and Android 11 will require hardware memory tagging for native code, and now everything is compiled with FORTIFY enabled.

Also Microsoft research shows otherwise, https://msrc-blog.microsoft.com/2019/07/16/a-proactive-appro...

> ~70% of the vulnerabilities Microsoft assigns a CVE each year continue to be memory safety issues

So yeah, you are correct that C++ does offer the tools not to write C like security holes.

Now you just need to convince a large spectrum of companies to actually stop doing C idioms while writing C++ code.
Sure, but would that even hold up in court? You can put anything in a contract, that doesn't make it enforceable.
First Smart Watch app full of memes
Lower health care costs in the coming years - the unhealthiest people tend to die more easily from covid 19.

Pension systems become solvent - covid 19 kills more elderly people.

Gdp will suffer a 1 time drop since there's much economic activity that will no longer happen because there're less people..until the population recovers?

What else?
We made the first Smart Watch app full of memes.

And it's available on Apple Watch.

Why?

Cause we think that Smart Watches are more than just fitness trackers.

What we have:

- Thousands of funny memes and jokes

- Hundreds of new memes each day

- No ads and payment

- No personal information gathering

It's just memes, nothing extra.
And 20 times more in security reports from Microsoft, Google and Apple.
That looks good, indeed :)

For the record: not to all nations. In Russia, a really cool technical university (Bauman's, PhysTech, some faculitis of MGU) will give you some advantage in the early stages of your IT career, but not that much.

The IDE problem is still a major pain in Haskell. However, for now there are just I think 2 main options to choose from, and it's fairly straightforward. Still, not everything works as expected yet.

We've come a really long way in just the past 3 years with IDE stuff. I suggest you give it another try if you're still interested in diving into Haskell.
The problem are the people who don't follow the rules, not the ones who say we're doing well.

I think we're doing well and still don't meet friends or go out often.
"Do you let new customers drive your product roadmap, or just decide your own roadmap and stick with it? Which approach works best in order to gain more product velocity?"

Customers' needs should always drive the product roadmap. That said, it's not uncommon for customers to not know what they really need until it's already been built. This is where the Product Manager comes in to the picture. The PM needs to ensure everything added to the roadmap is of the highest priority and will solve real customer problems or have a positive impact towards the org's key objectives.

A couple tips that may be helpful for you as you navigate this situation:

1. Before any feature-specific debate, you need to be closely aligned on the overall vision and objectives with your key stakeholders, including the "business team". What are your most important objectives to hit this quarter, this year? Growth in active users? Increased transactions? Improved bottom line profitability? etc. Once this is aligned on, it becomes much easier to have these prioritization/tradeoff discussions.

2. Many "business" teams and the leaders of those teams don't understand the basics of software development. Over time, it's beneficial for the PM to help educate key non-technical leaders about the costs of constantly changing direction. Help them understand how technical teams plan and execute, and show the impact to timeline and quality when reckless decision-making gets in the way of the engineers doing their jobs effectively. I like to this of this as a "help them help you" mindset.
This book has plenty of real life examples and there's one that might sound close to your reality. I wouldn't say that the whole leadership team needs to read it but I think that the CEO or COO needs to lead an objective based framework such as OKRs to make it successful.

> That US destroyers have a catastrophically bad helm UI

Hadn't heard of this. Apparently the US Navy are reverting an 'upgrade' to its destroyers which gave them a dangerously poor touchscreen-based helm control UI. The decision was made in the wake of a fatal collision with a civilian vessel in 2017.

I find myself coming back to this for various stuff all the time. It's a great reference that touches basically everything important for writing real apps with Haskell.
Except when the signtool.exe defaults to SHA-1, generating a signature that Windows won't accept. And then you need to add an arg for a timeserver. And args in a wrong order just silently generate a useless signature. And documentation for all of it is mostly from IE5.5 era, fragmented over several unfinished reorganizations of MSDN.

And tooling for managing the certs is another pain. Mine required entering a PIN from a GUI every time certs were touched, so I couldn't automate the builds.

How'd you like Prometheus Rising? Did you humor the exercises or just read? I read like half of it a few years back and got a little fatigued, but the ideas stuck.
The other side of the coin is that new hires can be very obstructive. 80% of new hires here are relentless politicians who snitch to management that they are "underappreciated" while making one idiotic suggestion after the next to show their relevance.

In reality they cannot do anything, so they scheme to get rid of people who can. During the battle no useful work is being done.
Electric SUVs of 2020 – what can we expect?
Only 22% did have any static site generator detected. Beyond that, 33% had a CMS detected.

That leaves nearly half of analyzed sites as unknowns! Speculation aside on what might be effective aside, the real answer wrt OP is basically "it wasn't".
To me, primarily suggests something like "we have hard data showing that 90 percent of cases absolutely start with the lungs" and typically is more like "I have professional experience and years of observation without collecting hard data suggests that this is true at least 51% of the time."

So they don't parse the same for me, though I can see them parsing the same for someone else.

The lungs serve as a filter for everything you breath in. Modern air is generally pretty polluted. I imagine that everyone's lungs get de facto pretty gunked up these days, like the filter on a home AC that never gets changed and then we wonder when other pieces of the system start showing strain.

I imagine it frequently goes unrecognized as starting in the lungs, but I think it probably does. Please note that "starting" there also doesn't preclude other contributing causes, which is another reason I object to the word primarily. Saying "First X happens and then there tends to be a cascade effect from there" absolutely isn't the same as saying "X happens and X is the entire cause of the problem with zero other factors contributing to it."

Edit: I will add that I believe it starts with the lungs in part because reading up on altitude sickness did wonders for my understanding of my condition which has substantial gut involvement. When there is a defect in air quality, it rapidly starts impacting other systems, like the gut, liver and kidneys, and there are huge knock on effects that can be outright deadly.

Before reading up on altitude sickness, I had this hand wavy idea that the gut and lung issues are related, but afterwards I had a clear and definable connection and that connection is how the body processes blood gasses. So, obviously, the connection is the circulatory system, which is powered by the heart.

The new normal'China's excessive coronavirus public monitoring to stay
Considering that I’ve only heard these stories in the UK I’m guessing the GP is in the UK as well.

And I agree the media and the public are mocking the police that does this and are quite outraged.

Social distancing is to stop large gatherings not to put people in isolation.

I have no problems with using technology to do contact tracing as long as there are sufficient controls around it, it’s extremely difficult to do contact tracing without it especially since people not only forget but outright lie.

> if you have 3 guys that are the wizards that can't be sacked

Don't forget to also sack the management that looked the other way for years while this situation got where it is.

The zero asshole rule is non-negotiable.
No single customer owns your roadmap, your roadmap is yours.

Unless you're actually billing hours to customers for features, the features you add are yours. Sell what you have now, do not sell based on a future promise.

You need to balance the value of a single customer against the opportunity cost of not building a feature that all customers want.

The way I've found to do this: Qualify every feature request. Get in touch with 10 customers and have a list of the outstanding feature requests, and give them a virtual $100 and say, if you can spend this $100 on these n features and you only have $100, how would you spend it? Then take the answers from the 10 customers and see which added to the highest $$$ income. If a single customer is an outlier with all $100 on one feature, establish with their account manager the state of the account, are they happy? At risk? and prioritise accordingly.

Throughout this process, always have your vision hat on. Is the ask for "add this toggle" or is there an underlying common theme that a different approach could satisfy. This is the "most people wouldn't ask for a car, they'd ask for a faster horse" (not said by Ford but always mis-attributed) symptom... you need to see how features align to your vision, and bear in mind that the customers today may not be the ones you need in the future, startups go through wave of customers and you need to be working up that food chain, so what are the right features to satisfy needs, but put you on a path to the customer you want in the future.

Oh, and I'm an engineering manager not PM but had my own startup and had to do this stuff.

>That simply isn't true - the amount of cost sunk into not achieving objectives was enormous.

The Afghanistan war is a different story, but the iraq war was won though in messy fashion. US achieved every objective it set out when it first initiated the war. Iraqis now also have a democracy and levels of violence in Iraq are at the lowest levels in a long time. Honestly, looking into the Iraq war doesn't demonstrate the US militaries inefficiency. It shows how far ahead it is of every other country on earth. No other nation would even be able to bring it's military over to the gulf. They just don't have the logistic capability.

The debate should not be on the efficacy of the US military, but on how to use it and I don't think congress has had such a debate since the mid 20th century. They need to pull back the military and then reassess what should be the next steps.
An alternate way of receiving signals
There is no full lockdown nearly anywhere you can still go to shops, exercise and go to work if you are a key worker or you do not work in a public facing business.

People over estimate the extent of the lockdown in many countries.
