I think "not as frequently" is a understatement. Cats are orders of magnitudes less dangerous to humans than dogs are, it's not even something I have to think about when I walk outside. Meanwhile, often times, the only thing that stops a dog from attacking me is the gate of their owner's house. Even that won't stop them from running at me and barking at me though. And yes, I've walked by a house with no gate before and two dogs just came after me and attacked my legs, one even biting me. I'm no dog hater or anything, in fact I like dogs, but dogs are only appreciable if they're on your side. I shudder at the thought that anyone would be able to get a pitbull and do whatever they please with it without licensing or repercussions for letting it loose on the neighborhood children.

EDIT: Forgot to say, it don't matter even one bit what size the dog is or how small it is. If they aren't on your side, they're capable and very willing to bark at and attack you.
> There will be a working class, and a leach class. It will forever define politics in the United States.

That's already the status quo. The consequences of coronavirus will only solidify this... just look at Amazon, they're taking over business from a lot of quarantine-closed small stores, no matter if food or non-food. Many people will stick with Amazon, Bezos gets all the money, and entire 'hoods will collapse once the lockdowns get lifted. The biggest companies have enough cash, access to cash or fire their employees to ride out the lockdowns, the small businesses will go belly up no matter how much "stimulus money" gets injected.

I rather suspect that there will be a third class, or to be more precise, it will become evident to everyone that this class exists: destitute people in yet-unknown masses. Dozens of millions of people in the US have claimed unemployment benefits. Give them a month or two to run out of savings and debt options, and they'll be unable to make rent, get evicted, you get the rest.

I like your optimism, but I expect things to stay divided. Polling on COVID-19 is divided almost right down the middle like everything else in America with Democrats more afraid of COVID-19 and Republicans more likely to believe it’s like a flu.

Furthermore, the heavily impacted areas are all already Democrat strongholds. Densely populated urban centers.

The only country where socialized medicine appears to be outperforming is Germany.

Right wingers will point to Italy, Spain, and the UK as failures of socialized medicine. They will point out that the healthcare systems in Democrat cities failed.

All these points have good refutations, I’m just illustrating that I think this virus will divide us further, not bring us together.

What kind of weird question is this? "Downtowns" are _more_ accessible for people, not less. That's why they are more expensive by the foot.

How on earth are these metrics defined even somewhat objectively? How is it justified that countries such as China, India, and Russia occupy only one point despite being stunningly diverse polities?

Some of it is true, but that's because we paid in lives and human suffering. Safety and environmental restrictions multiply the cost of building infrastructure.

You’re a bit out of your depth. Of course “trust the server” is preferred but many forms of cheats are purely client side. For example an aimbot that steadies your cursor on someone’s head or dodges automatically when a projectile is inbound. Maybe the client hijacks the UI to hide terrain and walls.

I’m not saying what valorant has done here is right, there are other things you can do. But you’re oversimplifying the problem.
I experimented with such a C style once, years ago; it was perfectly workable in Vim.

The opening curly brace is better like this:

int double(int x)
{ x += 3;
return x * 2; }

I found it's good to have spaces within the braces, including when closing them:

int double(int x, int b)
{ if (b)
{ x += 3;
return x * 2; }
else
{ x -= 3;
return x * 4; } }

This naturally jives with a two space indentation, so everything is pleasingly copacetic. I feel I could easiy maintain a 200KLOC code base in this style.

Oh, incidentallly, this style is followed in the production rule action bodies of the TXR yacc file parser.y:

http://www.kylheku.com/cgit/txr/tree/parser.y

I wonder how well GCC's newer "misleading indentation warnings" handle this, though.

> C-like languages because of how few people use something like Smartparens or Paredit

However, everyone in C (or C-like) programming with two brain-cells to rub together uses at least auto-indention and brace/bracket/paren matching features in their editor. A stock installation of Vim turns some of it on by default if you open anything with a given suffix like .c or .js.

These editing features work equally well regardless of how you lay out the braces.
DevOpsIsh is great, I am a subscriber there also. I started ThisWeekInDevops to serve a slightly different need for a similar audience.

The concept of perl 6, at some stage shifted from being the next incremental release of the Perl language, sure. For around 10 or so years the Perl 6 crew knew this was going to be a different language, yet held onto the name for this period of time and even made arguments in public that Perl 6 should remain the name, given all the facts, as recently as last year. This sort of thing can cause problems in communities, and nobody on the outside of the inner clan really cares, beyond the point that all the slight of hand and infighting pushes good folk away.

A lot of people are saying "not news worthy," but I think this is a far more useful article than the majority of articles posted here:

- It's applicable to most people on this site

- It's actionable: be conscious of what you use your company-issued computer for

I'm convinced that most people aren't aware that this is a common practice. I've talked to people who think it's not possible or that their company doesn't do it. On the flip side, I've worked with enough IT departments to know that most of them have the capability, even if they're not actively using it.

If your computer has any sort of remote management software on it (typically used for pushing mandatory updates), IT can probably also surreptitiously access your filesystem or observe your screen.

Yup. I'm starting to think that Kickstarter (and similar group-buys) is the only way to fund software that actually makes sense.
Mostly all issues happen at the top of the hierarchy which is enough to dissolve the company like insider trading, giving a hint to client but those people will never be logged. Mostly I feel it's ok. If a employer is doing it basically means couple of things 1. He is helping a startup and loading them test cases. 2. Well he has some computing power but nothing big to process or analyse so he is throwing it away.

Just asking would anyone be okay if a banking app asks for a selfie or takes a photo of you when you are performing a transaction via mobile, just to know that transaction is valid.
Isn't this one of those sites that advocate getting rid of "sprawl" and having everyone move to high density apartments near the train station? And they want to replace cars with government run mass transit so everyone gets to work and back in trams, busses and subways filled shoulder-to-shoulder with 800 strangers?

Thats really going to be a tough sell over the next few years. I got to say I live in exactly the kind of suburbs they hate with a house big enough for everyone to spread out and enough square footage to store a months worth of food. And when I do get out its alone in my car to curbside pickup or a drive through. I couldn't be more pleased.

One key difference is the OS <-> application interface is defined as a group of system provided dynamic libraries on Windows, not syscalls. So Windows effectively provides a set of very reliable core libraries that is guaranteed to be backward compatible. And as long as you don't use newly added APIs, also forward compatible. While on Linux even libc is decoupled from the kernel, each distribution uses a different version, the application cannot distribute its own libc in any sane way, and the glibc choose to use ELF symbol version to make incompatible changes to frequently used APIs (like memcpy), sabotage bidirectional compatible attempts.

Oh, and there are only one Windows distribution. Not at least 3 major ones.

These both make packaging for Linux hard (requiring kinda funny solutions wrapping up a sysroot as a whole, like Snap or AppImage), while on Windows, the developer builds an exe, and voila, it works everywhere, even on very old systems. There are simply no funky stuffs e.g. glibc symbol version issue.
I'm also thinking that birds will adapt because it seems like a relatively simple change in their behavior would fix the problem. Natural selection will play its course. The birds who are dumb enough to fly into wind turbines will get weeded out. Future generations of bird will be more fearful of wind turbines. This kind of selection can start to take place over a relatively short span of time. See peppered moth evolution [1].

We didn't really have any excess mortality in March either - total deaths in 4 weeks upto 27th march was 43,406. 5 year average for that 4 week period is 43,700.

We're slightly ahead of New York state in covid breakout too (about 4-5 days at the occurrence of both 10th and 100th death)

I suspect that the excess numbers are undiagnosed covid cases - especially those dying in care homes.

In w/e 3rd april compared with the week before

Place | Excess Deaths | Excess covid deaths
Home | 1079 | 105
Care Home | 1280 | 175
Hospital | 2779 | 2609

Tests in the UK are almost entirely to people going into hospital.

Where are the stats for deaths in New York? UK (Or rather England and Wales, but that's 90% of the population of the UK) are at https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...

Good catch. Even weirder in my opinion putting it next to nurses recuperating from their work.

Maybe I'll say what a lot of people are already thinking but may not want to say out loud:

I don't care

Until someone can show me strong evidence that cat related hunting of this wildlife has a short or even long term affect on humans (through biodiversity loss of keystone species for example) than I think that the utility gained from enjoying the company of the local feline hunters is worth it. Frankly, I don't give a damn about pidgons or whatever else they're hunting until it impacts me directly. Shun my egoism with your Christian inspired morality all you want but at heart the vast majority of people are egoists in denial anyway.

Maybe I got the parasite as a serial cat owner and that's what's motivating me to talk this way but there seems to be an opposite parasite going around since many here are openly calling for folks to murder domestic house cats who are allowed to roam outside.

Part of what I'm articulating is based on my fundemental belief in anthropocentrism which I've never understood to be a bad word. Humans have more value-to-life than wild animals. The animals humans care about (like pets) have more value-to-life than pidgons. The alternative to this view (animal and human value to life is comparable) is veganism and you see how often that view shunned by the public at large.

Admittedly, nature is pretty messed up and it'd nice if house cats would be better about not causing their prey to suffer on the way out - but nature doesn't seem to care about morality so I'll give cats a pass as "not being ethical actors" on this one...

Well, you can doubt it, but it is what it is: "efektivní" in Czech means both effective ("successful in producing a desired or intended result") and efficient ("working or operating quickly and effectively in an organized way") combined. Also it seems like that "efficient" in English includes "effective" as well, so there probably was no actual problem with my original comment.

Maybe it is you who should check the thesaurus and get a little more understanding of the world before posting dismissive comments.
No, you just misunderstood my comment. I'm not disputing that Japan has a far lower homeless rate than we do, there's likely things we can learn from them (and things we can't easily transplant), and I've always been pretty radical when it comes to land economics (the notion of owning land as an asset is absurd to me, vs having a stable claim over it but no entitlement to its increase in value). I was narrowly disputing your comment's claim that depreciating housing prices is a significant driver of low homelessness rates, using an example of a big drop in housing prices causing a spike in homelessness. The example isn't perfect, since steady-state low prices have different effects from a large shock, but my point was that the connection obviously isn't this straightforward.
Monetizing compassion and kindness! Very enlightened work.
I lived in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Our whole state has infrastructure problems. For the highways, it's because we're connected to a lot of logistical hubs. But a lot of our towns, including our capital, have big problems with big potholes.

It doesn't happen in a single decision or even a single year. It's a slow spiral: people move out, crumbling streets go on the "cons" list of house hunters, the city has a smaller income base, so non-urgent roadwork is less urgent. Repeat.

I'm not saying people will flee neighborhoods with bad streets. But they will move out for the usual reasons: family, new jobs, marriage. The problem is new people are less likely to move in.

Any chance it's also partly due to medications people are taking more of? First-generation antihistamines are known to give people weird dreams.

I've experienced this many times. And these are common ingredients in multi-symptom OTC cold/allergy/flu medications, especially anything that says "night" in the name.

A lot of people may have mild and/or undiagnosed cases of COVID-19. They feel sick, they reach for some medicine.

Coughs are a COVID-19 symptom, so maybe they take cough syrup. If they take Robitussin Nighttime Cough DM, that has doxylamine succinate in it. And Robitussin Severe Multi-Symptom Cough Cold + Flu Nighttime has diphenhydramine hydrochloride in it.

Or maybe they don't have a cough, but their go-to medicine for any time they feel like crap is Nyquil. It also has doxylamine succinate in it.

And/or maybe they don't have COVID-19, but they have heightened alertness about being sick and they're just more likely to take medication when anything (mild allergies, etc.) seems off.
