> I absolutely hate it. It throttles constantly even after undervolting it. I had to do a bunch of black magic to get it to sleep properly (which is evidently happening to every Dell) and eventually gave up on that and just set it to hibernate any time the lids closed (it's 32gb so that adds about 30 seconds to the start up time). I've spent more time tweaking this thing, reading forums and reddit about how to make it perform DECENTLY than I did building my last hackintosh and I don't enjoy that experience ever. When you get past all these issues it's still Windows 10 which I just find to be the most annoying OS I've ever used.

Really? I love my XPS 7390 2-in-1, it's the best laptop I've used and owned by far and that includes Macbooks. Combined with a WD19TB dock (and a useful trick of flipping it around so it's an inverted L) it makes a great work from home setup. Its thermal profile is relatively aggressive by default but it should stay at 15W (and ~65 degree temps) indefinitely. Upping the power limit to 25W (like the Windows / Dell "Ultra Performance" mode does) and it appears it can maintain that too. I mean, Crysis can even run on the thing [1].

That said, I'd probably lose my mind if I had to run Windows on it. A suggestion for getting good old S3 sleep to work: enable the hack for reenabling S3 sleep in the Windows registry, then disable "Early Signs of Life / Dell Logo" in the BIOS [2]. I'm not sure if this will work on Windows, but it works flawlessly on Arch.

But that is up to the people to pressure for change. As long as most fear the ever dreadful terrorist and as long as the ever going war on terror creates new terrorist, there is an everlasting accepted need for the patriot act.

And here with the new surveilance against corona, we will probably find out, that to fight new more dangerous deseases and of course terrorism, crime and pedophiles, we cannot really give up on these tools. There is no alternative, like my chancellor merkel says with everything. And when enough people believe it, it is true.

I couldn’t get tested so not 100% that I actually had covid but as soon as I started having some symptoms I started gargling with diluted hydrogen peroxide and rinsing my sinuses with a strong saline solution. I can’t see how this would hurt and why this isn’t recommended given that the virus replicates in the nose and throat.

Yes. I've been saying that, too.

So, in blunt terms, currently we are trying to keep people alive until we can get therapeutics and/or vaccines that confer immunity so that we can get to herd immunity with fewer infections and deaths.

The thing with the “correct” example posts listed is that they’re not completely right.

I wanted to love DDG. It promises a lot. And it delivers a lot. I love the shortcut codes.

But after a few months I had to go back to Google. Two main reasons:

1. Image searches could often return literally zero results for simple terms.

2. I'd look up a term and get non-English Wikipedia articles before the English ones, which often wouldn't even show up.
That added "i" inbetween can go unnoticed for those not caring, it can be an invitation to learn for the curious, and most importantly it is an important disambiguation for those who know. The trade-off is absolutely positive to me.
Impact of a second Dust Bowl would be felt worldwide
There wouldn’t be an epidemic of pneumocystis pneumonia without an epidemic of immunodeficiency so I’m not sure that applies. But I see what you’re getting at. And, yes, e.g. if a COPD sufferer died of pneumonia of the pandemic strain I would call that a death attributable to the pandemic, noting that the COPD probably made them more susceptible.

When influenza deaths are estimated each year, the models assume that a lot of people will die due to the virus but the cause will be recorded as heart failure or pneumonia without etiology. From the perspective of the epidemiologist, they are influenza deaths, even if they were old and frail with bad hearts.
> If B follows from A via logic, but A is invented, isn't B invented as well then?

Not really, because you have no choice about B - it's true (or rather it follows from A) whether you want it to or not. You could have picked a different A, but once you picked A then B was fixed.
I guess people (particularly Tom Shippey, IIRC) do argue that's a lot of what made his work what it is. I tend to forget about that part of his history.

> The basic theory is that if you catch the virus, you want to have it in your nose first so your body has time to start a response before it reaches your lungs.

That's a thought that has crossed my mind before: if it's better the farther up in the respiratory system the initial infection happens, then all that hand washing might be a bad idea, at least for the personal outcome. It depends a lot on wether you expect the full wave to eventually roll through until herd immunity or if you expect it to be stopped early, either by continued distancing until it's starved our by a vaccine.
An E-reader seems like a bad analogy given they're usually reflective rather transmissive displays. Wouldn't any backlit display technology (such as most computer monitors) make for a better example?

So the studies show that there is no correlation between viral load and severity of symptoms. One study showed there was a correlation between amount of virus in the nose and severity of symptoms.

No studies have looked at various levels of initial dose (does initial dose correlates to viral load?) I imagine such a thing is very hard to measure.
Show HN: An App to help improve throughput of Covid-19 Test Kits
There are also rumours (and I stress, rumours) that healthcare workers are getting more severe disease due to being infected with a higher infectious load. This would also fit with this theory.
We built an app to help lab technicians improve the throughput of COVID-19 test kits.
By mixing patient samples and running the machine for a little longer we can significantly improve test throughput, and save reagent.

The technique works similar to a Binary Search Tree. Pool 10 samples together. If any samples were positive subdivide into two groups of 5, and run the tests again. Repeat until done.

We are looking for feedback and improvements that might make this approach more viable in a lab setting. We'll be working continuously to update and improve as feedback comes in.

If you wish to use this in your lab, please get in touch so that we can provide you with a private instance of the application.

The "Trusted by great teams" section of your homepage lists companies like "Slack", how did you convince them to start using your product?
No. But you don't necessarily need an accountant in the UK.

Off the top of my head, the Companies House filing fee of around £15/yr, an address for the company (around £50/yr) are all you require to hold a UK company.

For a tech company that uses Xero and feeds in invoices programmatically filing the statutory returns by an accountant might cost £1000/yr (or 0 if you wish to DIY, the UK's HMRC makes self-filing easy unlike the IRS). Plus £360/yr for Xero (free accounting software probably won't cut it).

VAT returns and PAYE returns are pretty easy to self-file; Xero does them automatically and HMRC provides free software for it. The annual statutory accounts are more difficult, and you probably want an accountant.

Rough figures: if you want to be cheap, use Xero discounts and DIY, it's around £500/yr. With an accountant, but you still doing some of the work, perhaps £1500/yr.

Another anecdote: someone online who works in a virus lab doing other stuff said that if you are ill, have a shower twice a day and rinse mouth with mouthwash to reduce viral load.

If you need to go out, when you come back, remove all clothes and wash and then have a shower.
The reason it happens I think is because they exist in a bubble. Most people never research exactly why vaccines are safe, they just take it on trust. There is a lot more (mis)information out there on Anti Vax than Pro Vax because it's not the default position.

What you find when you look into it is that yes vaccines are safe but only because we take stringent measures to ensure that safety. They are not safe by default as most people believe. Then what you have is Anti Vax people believing they have some untapped knowledge because when they talk to people about it very few know exactly why or how vaccines are safe, just that they are which coming from the Anti Vax perspective makes you feel you know something other people don't which is enough to validate your opinion.

This doesn't take into account risk reward even if they were not safe but that's another story.
However, the "controversy" has been overstated by the German media as well. Drosten, virologist who has been cited as one of the critics, called the Gangelt/Heinsberg study "very solid and robust" just yesterday: https://www.zdf.de/politik/maybrit-illner/christian-drosten-...

Particulary, the death rate will be close to the estimate.
Thing is, embedding binary files is not that useful, and there are easy enough ways to do it for those few that really needed it.

The C standard has been very cautious about adding features that would make the standard and the compilers more complex since it is the lingua franca of computing.

Nowadays there is really just a handful of archs in use and their compilers are all backends for GCC/LLVM, so they are relaxing a bit the gating of features.

Some people being lucky and not having issues doesn't mean other people don't have them. As evidenced in many comment threads recently, plenty of people have issues with Catalina.
I don't agree with it, but the reasoning goes like this:

It makes sense for both parties because for the seller the investment gains from the capital they're getting from this transaction will be similar to what they're making from running the registry. But they no longer have the headaches of running the registry.

For the buyer, well, it's a monopoly so the sky is the limit. Even if current seller is able to raise the prices, they might not want it due to the backlash this would cause. Current buyer is less constrained by this.
The current scenario in the US shows both the federal government's failure of responsibility and failure of imagination. I don't expect there to be a second shutdown despite the likelihood of a larger second wave. While that will probably result in more deaths sooner I don't think that is something Trump or his supporters care much about.

They weren't hired from what I heard. But rather personal friends.
An interesting read.

They present evidence of 2 labs in Wuhan, and each lab was doing work with bats with a high degree of likelihood of having this virus.

This puts the virus at the scene of the crime, so to speak.

This is opposed to the wet market theory which has no evidence of said bats at the market, or explanation for how bats from 1000 miles away ended up there.
To give some numbers to the comment I made previously in this thread, with an XPS 7390 2-in-1:

Single core turbo 3.9GHz, maintains indefinitely, temperature hovers around ~75 degrees, fans around 5000RPM

All core turbo: Keeps 3.4GHz and ~45W TDP for around 10 seconds, before dropping to 2.7GHz and ~25W TDP indefinitely. Temps still around ~75, with the fans around 8000 RPM.

That's without any undervolting, but with the processor set for 25W TDP (like the Windows "Ultra Performance" mode). Adding in some undervolting gets the all core turbo up to 2.9GHz.

Gleam seems like effort in the right place, I'm looking forward to seeing it in the wild!

Since we got you here, can you tell us what's your plan with static type checking for message passing semantics? From what I understand, that's the hard part about producing a static type checker for BEAM systems.

As for things like gen_server, is the idea currently that you simply give type definitions to callbacks, allowing the gen_server to model its state with types?

At first glance, I also don't understand yet how parametric polymorphism works. Is it implemented at language level?
The viruses are replicating inside your cells. You can't just "disinfect" living tissue without killing it. There is a reason why medicine relies on evidence and does not recommend whatever random "treatment" someone came up with.
OP's claim was that "2% of people who have bad symptoms die."

From Spain's numbers, around 10% of those experiencing symptoms that lead them to get tested by Spain's health service, which due to scarcity is reserved for serious cases and people on the front lines, have died since the onset of the epidemic.
Do you have a writeup of your findings? Not that the issues with the Windows version aren't enough, but as a user of the Linux version I would like to know what is wrong with it.
There’s a strong argument to be made that putting MS on the defensive about antitrust in the late 90’s is the reason so many other dominant tech companies were able to get a foothold in the 5-10 years following.

Which also points to why we are in today’s predicament, having abandoned antitrust entirely.
In Germany we had basically no rain for the last month. There were some forest fires already, and the forecast gives little hope for rain this month. If the weather doesn't change substantially, summer will be rough. The soil hasn't even fully recovered from the drought last summer.

"Α" and "A" look exactly the same (at least in most fonts). But each has its own code point because the GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA simply isn't the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A or any other Latin letter.
He spoke more about that than was written. It seems to be the case that the viral load of the point of infection is a major factor in determining how bad it gets. Therefore low-load infections are actually desirably since those are the asymptomatic cases.
