and the thing about suicides is, that the rates are really low compared to everything else... (even the flu... - at least in non-gun countries).

I think this is mainly fearmongering by the upper 0.1% seeing that now they might have to bear the "risk" they are always claiming to shoulder when taking in enormous returns on their capital... (e.g. in Germany currently most car-companies (BMW and VW are both largely family-owned) still pay their dividends, while their employees are getting unemployment benefits from the state...).

In the end history tells us, that people generally seem to prefer to stay alive however low the odds are. If this has significantly changed in the last 50 years, maybe we should think about what has changed that – I seriously doubt that a "let's go back to business" is the right approach in that case.

It's a great time to get into Emacs. The community is growing because of great projects like Spacemacs and Doom Emacs which let you get a fully working environment up very quickly, with good defaults.

I personally would recommend doom-emacs (https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs) which has an easy to understand codebase.

Now as you use it, you'll inevitably run into bumps or things you want to change. This is where you start to learn. In doom you can just press `SPC h a` to search up anything you could want (`SPC h` will show you all possible help options). Discoverability in Emacs is amazing, and puts all other editors to shame.

Haskell itself didn't attract much attention until the mid-2000s.

As people already mentioned, containers are hot in summer. I spend couple weeks in a such temporary office. Daily 30 degrees, not enough windows, sweat and very bad smell around.

At the moment a school in neighborhood is being demolished and a temporary container building was assembled as replacement. It’s very comfortable and nice inside, though school has vacation in summertime and this application is ok. ICU in a container might be good for Scandinavia or Alaska...

Please don't characterize buying a bag (or two) of food as panicking.

That is less than an ordinary amount of shopping at a time for me during times when there isn't a public health order to avoid going out. And I'm not shopping for half as many people as some people are.

Characterizing the reasonable and prudent behaviors, directly driven by the advice of public health officials as "panic" because it is exposing supply chain limitations is extremely harmful.

In this case they do if you test for antibodies. We can't test for antibodies.

Or is it just for me, as I don't think you have factored in the exact argument here and I'll get to that:

> Does our political and epidemic policy really change if, say, technically this started several months earlier than we realized in Russia?

Yes it does, because it means the bay area is safe and can change its own policy. I don't see how you missed this in your effort to convert the word hypothetical into a pejorative.

> But since you seem to be hypothesizing about 2022 congressional committees

This was hyperbole but also likely what is going to happen. After the dust has cleared, Congress makes committees to see what exacerbated dysfunction - and they may then notice this discrepancy in the bay area as well. Meaning that it has nothing to do with a national policy decision because my hypothesis is relevant on a local level for the Bay Area as this whole thread made abundantly clear. For everywhere else it is merely interesting.

The difference is that one major economic center of the US can resume with a level of certainty and forward guidance.

Swift doesn't have first-class intersection-types or discriminated-unions (it has a variation on Java's enum types, which are close, but not exactly the same, e.g. you can't use a custom type defined elsewhere as a discriminated-union type: you have to use an enum case as the containing type - this is not a huge problem, just an ergonomic frustration).

Additionally, I don't believe Swift supports true structural typing (i.e. Duck-typing). If you have a method that accepts a protocol-implementing object, that object has to explicitly implement that protocol, it can't be inferred by the compiler.

In a similar vein, C# also supports intersection type (but only intersection-of-interfaces in type-parameterized generic methods) or structural-typing (again, via generics with explicit implementation). Please correct me if I'm wrong, but to my knowledge Swift doesn't support call-site structural typing nor true intersection types (i.e. intersection of non-interface types).

If anyone is looking for another open source solution, there's https://github.com/greggigon/my-personal-kanban.

What's neat about the above one is it's a single offline html file that you open in your browser and everything is saved to local storage (but it has a JSON export / import feature for more robust backups).

Of course that means it's really only usable for 1 person, but if you're a solo developer, it's a breath of fresh air to just open a simple html file without needing to run a service to use it.

I believe problems of IPv4 are related more to IoT than end-users currently. There is not much urgency for humans to switch within ~3.7 billions of IPv4 addresses unless all of humanity will suddenly decide to own a web-site with unique IP or a dedicated IP from their ISP.

But there is an enormous number of devices being connected. This also brings the more important aspects of IPv6 to the front: its increased security, extensibility and performance. IPv4 is very old and wasn't designed for the modern world, it uses crutches to adapt.

So the answer to your question "when will its lifespan end" depends on how fast will new IoT-devices saturate the market. It can be a few decades or a few years, only prophets know. Overall it's not a fast process but it's better be ready for the transition than not.
Copyright situations seem pretty unclear wrt tech in general, in my personal opinion.

The OP have to place certain components for interop based on technical restrictions, other details are bound by the form factor of the components themselves. In theory none of that can be covered by copyright (nor design rights) because it's primarily technical, not artistic in nature.

You should be able to copy nearly all of a circuit board copyright free, only the artistic elements (logos, say) being reserved (and trademarks are probably the main restriction there). Patents can't encumber this.

So, really Commodore's devices _should_ be free to make technical duplicates of. YMMV.

However, the further it goes, the more clear the second one gets. I.e. "am I already at the point of no return, I guess not, it's unclear. Oh wait, now I am, let's trigger."

Obviously I'm not part of a real minority language but I've tried to use my software in English over German for many years just because it's a lot easier to search for error messages.

OK, maybe I'm just a pessimist, but some real reasons (if you understand the language well enough) is that English is usually the original and so the localization can be ok or bad, but it's usually not better than the original. And as I said, this is German and not some language spoken by just a few people.

That said, I'd love to know more about the generic impression of how well localization works for Spanish or Russian, languages with a lot more speakers. I suppose with UTF-8 it's at least only a few mojibake errors and not total mayhem like in the ASCII times...

And no, I'm not arguing other languages should not be on the internet but for technical stuff (and news) I somehow really prefer English, maybe it's because I've been hanging around online and in chatrooms in English for too many decades.

I've travelled by train in the UK since the early 80s and it's far worse now. Feet on seats, bags on seats, people talking on phones using speakerphone, watching videos without headphones, dreadful music leaking out of headphones, eating smelly food, failing to discipline riotous children, overcrowding. The sad truth is that unless you really enjoy environmentalist self-flagellation, car or plane are infinitely more preferable.

Changing this would need to start with a cultural change, but the traditional values we'd need to go back to are out of fashion.
This is still a thing!

In Hampshire (UK) you can catch the Real Ale Train (RAT)[1] - an old fashioned steam train which potters up and down a few miles of track, serving beer from local breweries, via an on-board bar. It stops at various stations which have been preserved as they would have been in the 1950s.

You don't actually go anywhere, but the experience of quaffing ale with friends whilst watching the world go by on a balmy summer's evening is amazing.
