>The economy must suffer at any and all cost to minimise mortality as far as possible.

Sounds good. After all, death is irreversible while economic damage is not.

>So again, what is an acceptable mortality rate?

I'd phrase it more like a flattened curve. Rather than focus on a specific mortality rate, the bound to reopen the economy should be something along the lines: when the curve is flattened enough so hospitals can deal with the incoming infection rate. So this would be local to an area (city size, maybe regional) and would also adjust based on local conditions. Infection rate low enough, open the economy a bit more. Infection rate trending up, close the economy a bit more.

If that doesn't result in economy numbers that make the billionaires happy, too god damn bad.

Maybe free market uber capitalistic unregulated invisible hand economic theory needs to be rewritten or adjusted for new realities, including a section on why exactly lower wage workers (retail, service) are expected to risk their lives so the economy built on top of them, the one in which the rewards mostly go elsewhere, can function.

Is this the same Chris Martenson that did the Crash Course videos a number of years ago? That really puts this advice in context for me.
I wrote the comment you cited :)

IdentityServer certainly has better documentation for its extension points at the moment, but the tradeoff is you have to build everything yourself. Keycloak comes with a built in admin UI, account management UI, TOTP and WebAuthN support, the list goes on. You have to go out of your way to build these or search for a mismash of plugins for IdenityServer to get everything Keycloak provides out of the box.

And while the extension points of Keycloak aren't super well documented, literally all of them are in a dedicated Maven module [0] making it easy to just browse the code.

Fundamentally, phones just give bad workflow for photo processing and organizing. The more you care about this, the harder it is to justify this approach as your primary workflow.

Trump pushed it as a miracle cure, at least at one point, and he evokes bitter opposition in many.

(I think this is quite irrational, but that's your answer.)
Most phones I've dealt with actually allow you to output raw image files.

I'm not saying they have the same dynamic range as my A7iii, but they're not compressed or color-value limited like JPEG.
Unless you're trying to get AWS experience with a side project you'll actually use, in which case it's worth looking into -- people have gone whole hog and set things up to use a managed DB and everything.
It's not supposed to be one, but both of these are smaller than current flagships.
The batteries on original SE's are seeming to reach end-of-life now so I think I'll still have to jump to this. I've bought 2 used ones and had 2 new ones and they've all got dead/dying batteries.
This was a really interesting and enlightening comment and a small story! Thank you!
> Price point is, admittedly, fantastic

Thats the biggest thing for me.

I got my first iphone when they were around this price. Nowadays I have a hard time spending ~1k on a new phone, so I end up shopping used.

Granted it’s my personal preference to buy the handset outright, I’m happy to see a hardware refresh on a more budget friendly option for a new iphone.
I suppose Halide was mainly involved for this part:

Recent studies seem to indicate that even a participation rate of 60% or something would significantly slow the spread of the infection (of course, it all depends on the model parameters...).
He's clearly talking about what would happen without intervention. We do not live in that world
Mastodon, FWIW
I agree. Governor Bullock has Montana re-opening on the 24th. Why are we re-opening? It's the start of tourism season people! We already had plenty of out-of-staters flee to their vacation homes in the state and the infection rates in the cities that service them shows. Now we're bringing more people in?

Yes you're right. A lot of the critical work we depend on pays minimum wage and has awful working conditions and if those people had any opportunity to change their circumstances they would do so.
Apple will replace the battery for around $50. Though their stores are closed so you might have to send it in.

Another option is to get a battery replacement kit from iFixit.[1] I did that and it doubled my SE's battery life.

My suspicion would be that the general anesthetic is the primary cause.
Looks like I'm hardly original, but I'm also still using an original SE that I bought 4 years ago. Unlike the other posters here, I'm even rocking my original battery! (it is admittedly on its last legs, though). Spending < $100/yr on fully-supported phones is a pretty tough benchmark to beat. Looks like this new SE will accomplish that task like its predecessor.
This is basically a rebranded iPhone 8.
But once out in the real world, the camera you actually have with you wins every time.
IMHO, they should mostly optimize the bits of the pipeline that are needed to capture the kind of data needed (e.g. recording short high speed bursts etc), and maybe make ad-hoc data transfer of the camera nicer. More flexibility to do it on another device and update the software there quickly, while keeping the camera platform stable, and the battery life jump downwards from DSLR to mirrorless is already painful enough.
They totally blew it. Should have called it Nutshell.
The trouble with returning to the user before the cache has been purged is that they think it hasn’t worked, because they still see the old cached version.
My impression from what I've read about VS Code is that it has lots great lightweight IDE functionality (stuff that depends on parsing code), but it doesn't seem to actually have a lot of text editing functionality like Vim or Emacs does. It has multiple cursors, which is great, but that seems to be about it.

In Emacs I can quickly select by units of characters, words, lines, sentences, paragraphs, parenthesized expression, contents of a string, LaTeX environment, etc. And there are commands to sort lines or paragraphs, change case, apply rot13, run a google search, swap two units, delete text until the next occurrence of a character or a string, etc. Vim offers a similarly rich ranges of text editing operations. Does VS Code? If so it seems sort of hidden, I couldn't find more than a handful of text editing operations in the manual.

Maybe the IDE-like features are so good that people put up with a lack of text editing operations, but that doesn't really help people like me that mostly edit prose.

Another issue is that VS Code doesn't seem to be made for easy scriptability and extension. Emacs is so easy to extend, I'll often write commands I only ever intend to use while editing one particular file. For example, I was organizing a conference once and had file with all the talk submissions, each with an ID, speaker, title and summary. I had a little table were I was planning the schedule by putting talk IDs in the time slots. I wrote a command to insert a talk ID given the speaker name (with completion!), and command to flash the speaker and title of the talk ID under the cursor. With those, shuffling the IDs around was a breeze. This was a total of about 10 lines of code which took maybe 5 minutes to write, and it gave me a bespoke UI perfect for planning that specific conference. I stored the code in the same file as all the talk information and the timetable: neat, tidy and self-contained.

I know VS Code is extensible, but it seems to be pretty high-ceremony. As far as I know I can't type a JavaScript function in buffer, select it and press a key combo to suddenly have a new editor command defined. I think I need to package the code as an extension, and the code needs to be stored in files, maybe even in a specific directory structure with some metadata?

I would love to be wrong about both the lack of text editing features and about how cumbersome extending VS Code is. (And for all I know I am wrong, I haven't tried using it for more than a couple of hours --the impressions here don't come from that but from reading the online documentation and people's blog posts.)
Why couldn't we just manufacture more?
You can disagree on who is obligated to defend what kinds of speech, but do you agree with the parent's point - that the grandparent conflated an amendment with a moral principle?
Wag makes sense. There's a thesis that we've entered into an environment where the sole determination of customer acquisition success is the amount of money you have to burn and the sole determination of the success of a marketplace is acquiring more customers faster than your competitors.

Thus, there exists a winning strategy where you bully everyone else out of the market simply by having deeper pockets and a willingness to eat more pain than anyone else.

What you need to do to demonstrate credible commitment to this plan which involves splashing out way more than is reasonable for any marketplace business so that nobody else even bothers competing with you anymore. Once you've established your top dog post, you can just rake in the disproportionate profits until the end of time.

It's a high risk, high reward strategy but not one intrinsically unreasonable from the outset.
The Trump thing is a huge distraction. Doctors in China and Europe were already singing its praises before Trump got involved. These tests aren't happening because Trump got excited about it.

As a light-hearted answer, I recommend the book 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings by Sarah Cooper: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29431093-100-tricks-to-a...

I found it to be hilarious, relatable, and some parts sadly true.

Excerpt from the Goodreads page:

> You know those subtle tricks your coworkers are all guilty of? The constant nodding, pretend concentration, useless rhetorical questions? These tricks make them seem like they know what they’re doing when in fact they have no clue. This behavior is so ingrained, so subtle, and so often mistaken for true intelligence that identifying it, calling it out, or compiling it into an exhaustive digest has never been attempted. Until now.

> Complete with illustrated tips, examples, and scenarios, 100 Tricks gives you actionable ways to use words like “actionable,” in order to sound smart. Every type of meeting is covered, from general meetings where you stopped paying attention almost immediately, to one-on-one meetings you zoned out on, to impromptu meetings you were painfully subjected to at the last minute. It’s all here.

FWIW, most bluetooth headphones also offer 3.5mm corded options. Just use the bluetooth when necessary/convenient, and the cord the rest of the time.

Same here. Recently the camera has started shaking really badly so I'm thinking of finally getting a replacement. I have other cameras though, so the phone camera is just for convenience. It's hard to bite the bullet on a new phone when the one I have is (aside from the camera) in great shape.
A funny thing about device managed HMR (DMSMR) is that they extensively rely on error correction codes to recover data from overwritten tracks, and loose near all of SMR density gain to extra coding.

Why DMSMR became a thing in the first place? Windows! And non-upgradeable proprietary storage array hardware.

It seems that business people in those storage companies have put big money into SMR, but only realised that an extremely big chunk of the market cannot adopt SMR after drives shipped. And so they simply slapped a cheap and easy firmware hack on top of SMR drives to make them work with non-SMR aware software.
It seems relevant that it's decently easy with Mastodon 3.0 to move from one server to another, and the UX Just Works. Hard to imagine gmail doing the same. If I'm mad at Google there are a lot of factors stopping me from migrating my email because they own my identity.

I might be in the minority here, but I don’t particularly enjoy how IDEs at the level of abstraction above vi/emacs encourage the normalization “things aren’t working well; and I’m powerless to fix it.”

To illustrate my point, if my colleague’s VSC config is broken, or if it’s taking way too long to detect python tests, or what have you, my colleague’s unfamiliarity with the layer of abstraction just below the editor (jedi, pytest, pylanguageserver), means they view the situation as inevitable, impenetrable, and part of the necessary cost of development.

With vi and emacs, you are usually aware of the programs that your IDE is dependent one, and you learn how to tune them. One might say that one shouldn’t need to concern oneself with things at that level of detail, but in practice you need to, if you’re interested in being the most effective composer of programs, no matter what IDE you choose.

For the curious and patient among us, it’s an eye-opening experience, to try and replicate your most used features of VS Code in vi or emacs. It’ll take you a while, but you’ll come out of it armed to debug and solve the kind of meta problems that most people (in my experience) view as the Sisyphean “cost of doing business”.
Before quarantine many people watched videos only during commute as they were too busy working at work and housekeeping at home.
For those of you who live in North Carolina, and it's at least a fair amount of you, it's absolutely critical that you get Tillis (the senator described in the article, who's upset with the Internet Archive over a perceived attempt "to unilaterally create an emergency copyright act") out of office the next time you get a chance. He's one of the worst congresscritters when it comes to IP law, he only accepted that climate change was a thing in 2018 (and still doesn't accept that it's human-caused), is against rights for LGBT people, is against net neutrality, took slightly under $200,000 from the pharmaceutical industry last year, and I could go on for quite a while!

Regardless of your political leanings, he helps absolutely no one. It doesn't matter who you vote him out with; it would be incredibly hard to do worse. If you care about the Internet Archive, getting rid of Tillis and people like him is the best thing you can do to help its long-term viability.
I've looked at your other posts, and you seem like a reasonable enough person. I don't have a horrible beef with you, but in general I really despise it when people do the chicken-little doom and gloom thing and project gazillions of deaths on every latest horrible thing. Yes, awful things happen, but it's like a disgusting yearly sport for arm chair experts to exercise their righteous indignation at all of us while preaching how we're all going to die from Africanized bees, Zika, H1N1, whatever. Usually it's mixed with some other two-faced political agenda. You didn't really do that, but maybe you'll forgive me for thinking your exercise in exponential growth fell into the same category.

These predictions are always shown to be exaggerated after the fact, and then the doomsayer gets to say something like, "Yeah, if it weren't for all of us telling you" or "You're ungrateful for disregarding all the hard work of everyone who came together to blah blah". There's no accountability for, or end to, the bullshit.

Moreover, while it's a morbid task, rational adults should be able to ask whether the costs we've paid dealing with this corona virus are worth it. At 758 deaths, and even 21 days later at 26,300 deaths, we've wrecked the lives of millions of people in the US. It's hard to find stats, but tens of millions of people are now unemployed, and many of their lives suck because of it. Doing arithmetic on suffering and death is distasteful, but there is some point where you wouldn't ruin N people's lives to save just 1 person from dying. Particularly when some of those N people are going to commit suicide in response etc... I won't be making any predictions, but other really bad things can happen when you've got a huge number of people who can't afford food or rent.

Two years ago, approximately 61,000 people died from the flu in the US and we didn't do anything more than make flu shots more available. As for over vs under counting, I hope you're not doing that pedantic "pneumonia isn't the flu" thing. The point is that 150,000 people around the world die every DAY from something, and 10,000 - 100,000 people in the US die every year from something with symptoms close to corona virus.

It took me a while to realize that this has nothing to do with FPGAs (or APAC, as they are trying to rebrand). Also, given that Zynq is not a common word, Xilinx really could hurt you bad if they want to.

It's certainly not ideal. But it's not unusual to spend a lot more time on making the runtime very redundant, but less time/money on dashboards and configuration change underpinnings. Doesn't work well in this case since it kills invalidating cache items for customers.

The comments seem to imply that having a redundant way to refresh the page cache, even if it were global/domain versus page, would be an okay backup for many.
Or just work in a company that is ethical and provides something useful. I'm just saying working for B2B SaaS is not necessarily covering that base.

Can you put together some actual data then? Like, get all the relevant data for hospitalizations and deaths by locality and find a correlation against climate data? And then do the same for things like density, how early and strictly social distancing measures were put into effect, etc., and see if it has more or less correlation than those?

My gut feeling here is that climate is not a significant factor, but that those others are. And you haven't come close to actually demonstrating it with rigor beyond it just being a guess that you have (which is fine; guesses are useful).

And you're right, the connection between climate and the spread of a disease is well known, which is why if it were relevant here there would be lots of people besides you talking about it. The articles you linked do seem to show that the virus might not survive for quite as long on surfaces at high temperatures and humidities, but that's just not really that relevant for how this disease spreads. People are primarily either inhaling droplets directly, or touching things that others have touched recently and then getting it into their face. The virus surviving for hours on a surface before being touched and then touched again to a face orifice was always on the long tail of transmission methods, so flattening that tail a little bit doesn't make a meaningful difference in the overall spread of the virus.
Open offices and the extreme micromanagement known as "agile".

Both are so toxic to mental health that I had to move away.

I haven't really left the industry itself but I've moved away from a pure engineering role (which is my true passion) to a more specialized role which is ok but not as enjoyable. But, I don't have to deal with open offices nor agile, so it's a win.

The other aspect that makes me sad is that what we call tech companies today, aren't. Their product isn't tech. Netflix is an entertainment company. Google and FB are advertising companies. And so on. Very few actual tech companies in SV today.

What's the mechanism supposed to be here? If it suppresses replication of the virus, shouldn't that be effective up to close to the point of death - once replication is slowed enough, viral load should fall off, and recovery should happen?

Yes, evolution often seems to result in these sorts of trade-offs. It seems pretty rare to get a genetic "free ride", so to speak. It's like different ways of balancing the same equation using the same resources.
