I'll probably be the nay sayer around here but I don't find emacs all that special. I've used for maybe 18 months at various points in my life, entire projects in emacs. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing. I've written extensions in elisp. Used keyboard macros. Split windows, etc. etc. etc. What am I missing? Those features exist in every editor I've used since about 1988. They're all scriptable and customizable, at least the ones I've used.

Please name some features that I'm missing.

People talk about adding their own tweaks. Any programmable editor lets you add your own tweaks. I've added my own to several. Including emacs. Emacs wasn't special here

I'm happy to use emacs when I have to (it's the only thing installed). But otherwise not feeling it.

1. Demand has fallen off a cliff globally - this is far worse for companies than most realise, this has never happened before

2. All companies are facing a cash crunch, gov loans are slow to arrive and they have fixed costs like rent

3. Companies need to conserve cash, turning off ads is a click of a button, and given no demand, it's an obvious choice

I am not planning to get it but as usual the early reviews that I found on the internet state that this budget-friendly iPhone is worth it. It still has a single main camera shooter though which is not good things since you can actually get a tri camera set up from their competitors like Samsung and Huawei.
The first word that came to mind was "integration", but I suppose "control" is another way of putting it.

I doubt Microsoft would intentionally degrade developer experience, like "cutting off third-party tools". Rather, they're seeking to gain market advantage from the tight integration of services. It would make sense for them to encourage third-party tools to play well in that "Microsoft ecosystem".

I visited four food banks to offer them food over the last two weeks. Three of them were completely out of food. Only one of them had an abundance of food.

On aggregate, food banks may be stressed, just like on aggregate the measure we use to determine economic fortune may be down only 3%. In reality, this means there are lots of individuals literally starving and making $0.

Those people are going to struggle to hold out for however long it takes.

A month or two may be true in aggregate. For many, simultaneously, their jobs will never return.

> Well first of all, there are things that can be done in camera better than they can be done in post in any reasonable amount of time. Image stacking is one of those, since alignment even with the best software is spotty, and cameras could include fairly robust accelerometers to do a bunch of the work in the background. There's also currently no depth info in DSLR images, so image processing involving depth of field isn't going to work unless you do the work by hand, which is quite laborious. In addition, it would be very nice if HDR pictures could be taken by my full-frame camera. I don't necessarily want or need to deal with bracketing in lightroom just to get an extra couple stops of dynamic range.

> You're right that the best image stabilization is opto-mechanical, but it would be very nice to have access to digital image stabilization as well as in-body and in-lens stabilization. Again, a decent accelerometer can go a long way.

> Honestly, most of what I'd like to see has involved image stacking in one form or another. Digital ND filters are the same idea.

> And don't get me started on ergonomics and usability. I definitely picked the worst camera brand in terms of user interface (sony), but all the DSLRs and mirrorless cameras I've touched are noticably lacking in that department. I don't necessarily need a giant phone screen like my S9+, but I would expect a device costing $2000+ to at least have a fairly high resolution OLED panel on the back of it with solid touch controls. Meanwhile touch controls are distinctly lacking in any camera I've tried.

> Software is important too!

I would like to see a panorama mode also vs firing up stitcher applications. All these should be basic firmware upgrades tbh even on the older models. Features available on a CoolPix entry level camera should not be missing from prosumer DSLRs.

I'll add one small point towards grokking it: Emacs keybindings aren't just in Emacs. It really helps to feel fluid in Emacs if you're used to using the standard navigation all the time, and it's baked in to so many applications it takes almost no configuration.

All readline apps support[1] them, including bash[2] and many others emulate them.

On MacOS, support for emacs keybindings is standard in Cocoa text views[3] and you can improve it quite easily[4].

I've had a lot of smartphones & especially with kids they wear out/break before their CPUs become obsolete.

My last iPhone was the old SE and I had to replace it after it got so bent/broken after 2 years that it could no longer be reasonably repaired.

These phones (android or iOS) tend to last ~2-3 years at our household (2 adults & 2 kids, kids don't have their own phones).

I now have a Google pixel 3a I bought at a sale for €300 & it doesn't feel any less quality-wise than my old iPhone did. And unlike the old SE I don't have to suffer the too small screen (I got the SE cuz it was the cheapest iPhone at the time but 4" was really too small for comfort).

That's a 12-month trailing PE though, which has only a small amount of the covid disruption baked into it so far. The (unknowable) PE ratio calculated based on forward earnings might in reality be a lot higher if the "E" part is tanking (it did in 2008: 2008 S&P earnings were down 75% on 2007).

Analyst estimates for what earnings will look like this year are all over the place, predicting anything from a 5% to a 40% drop in S&P earnings per share. If you side with a 5% drop, then the forward PE only rises to about 22. If you think a 40% drop is a good prediction though, that's looking like a forward PE of 35.
Why not, we risk going back to the centralized pitfall once again if we don't right now; it won't be easy, but its very clear that the entire World is/will be falling into a deep recession, if not depression. I'd say if local manufacturing was ramped up then at least you could spur on local employment numbers.

Retraining people in this time is perhaps the most opportune as well as as they're confined at Home.

Also, I don't know how close you've been following the manufacturing of respirators or medical PPE in the US, but its like people finally realized 3d printers can be used for more than pointless affections and have been repurposed to be used for medical supplies equipment and tools and have brought out the best in what the 'maker space' could be under the guidance of actual Medical professionals.

There are guys on imgur who are reaching out to front liners to provide them with the equipment they can't get elsewhere at no cost.

Its a do or die situation for those so heavily reliant on them for medical supplies, quite literately, as untold deaths will go unaccounted for because China sent low quality or totally faulty equipment if it was even available to begin with. It will be brushed under the unavoidable cost of a pandemic--that has been made worse because the CCP censored, and disappeared anyone who sought to speak out on the severity of COVID19.

Which should have grave consequences internationally.

Just to play devil's advocate, it's not really clear from the article what the designer is proud about. "The strongest and most expensive unit in our Pirate Faction is the Pirate Queen. She is kick ass, looks cool, and is even voiced by myself!" Why shouldn't she be kick ass and looking cool? Why shouldn't she be the most expensive unit in the faction? It's speaking to a narrative for which we have to guess the other side.

I think the implication is that players of the game are not predisposed to enjoy female units in the game. I don't know anything about the game, so maybe I'm missing something, but I actually find that insulting. Why is it a given that there will be such a misogynistic view? While we have to accept that some gamers do have this awful point of view, I think it's part of the problem that some people feel that gamers must be like that.

In some ways it is potentially a bit of a sad thing to be proud of. I mean it can be taken in a few ways. One might be proud to have pushed this strong female unit into the midst of an audience that normally wouldn't accept it. Or one might be proud to have been able to deliver the strong female unit that the audience has been hungering for.

I can see some people feeling a bit put out if they assume that the designer's intent was the former rather than the latter. It's potentially really demeaning.
I'm in the same situation. That whole process makes me feel like a mindless cog about to enter a well oiled machine without the possibility to question some of those nonsensical steps.
> Roughly estimated, even a seasonal flu vaccine might kill about one out of every ten million recipients though such a reaction – we give it to everyone possible, though, because far more people will die if we don’t.

Yeah that’s frightening, but really true? I’ve never heard of a single person dying from the flu vaccine locally.
These early predictions were based inflated fatality rates. Early on, testing was only done on sick patients. People who contract the virus and don't get sick or don't get sick enough to go to the hospital aren't counted. So this is a huge selection bias. You didn't bother to cite where you're getting this figure, but it looks like this projection dates back to March 13 [1] or earlier.

If you have a study that projects what the fatalities would have been with a shorter isolation period (e.g. only march and first two weeks of April), that would be noteworthy. Pointing to this early CDC study as a figure for what would have transpired had the economy not been shut down is not sound.
